Good lunch spot on a cold January day. The crab cake was perfect. Big and cooked perfectly. The coleslaw was delicious and I’m not a fan of coleslaw. Staff was attentive and helpful. Place has a good relaxed vibe.

We were sooo glad they were open for lunch on a cold winter day. We had the crab cake sandwich and fries and both were delicious. The portions were generous.

This is our go to spot whenever we come to corolla! 2 years in a row and my boyfriend and I are hoping to make this place a tradition!

Corn beef hash was deliciously cooked, perfectly crispy and just the perfect comfort food. Crab cake benedict was absolutely to die for! Crab cakes were everything you’d want in a crab cake- no shells, very meaty and not a ton of filler. Truly phenomenal. Home fries are always crispy and hot!

I try to convince all of my family to come here on vacation because we just love it that much!

We’re currently on vacation here in Corolla and were looking for a nice breakfast spot with my family this morning. First Light seemed promising and the wait at the entrance actually got us more excited. Usually, that’s a good sign.

After being seated, we noticed a few mixed reviews online but were still curious and eager to try the food. Unfortunately, I have to be honest — the experience didn’t live up to expectations. We waited about 30 minutes for just a burger and some scrambled eggs. The burger was extremely dry and the bun was stiff to the point it made eating uncomfortable. I barely touched the fries, as they were overly greasy and lacked flavor. It’s rare for me to leave food on the plate, so even my girlfriend was surprised.

She had the scrambled eggs, which were solid, but her bacon was also very fatty and came with an unusual honey sauce that didn’t quite work. The overall flavor just wasn’t there and for the price point, it felt disappointing.

I don’t write this to be harsh but to offer an honest perspective to future guests. I truly hope the restaurant takes this feedback as constructive. I’d love to come back in the future and have a better experience.

First time here; last time here. Arrived after “lunch rush”. Place is approximately 50% capacity. Service is slow. Just shy of an hour for food to arrive. Well, 75% of our food. I’m still waiting. Tables on both sides of us had order problems. Missing complete orders for one or more people, same as our table. A portion of the staff are wearing uniforms from the Mexican restaurant in the same shopping plaza. Ordered beer, only half of the advertised drafts were available due to “waiting for a delivery”. Ordered an available beer….that keg was empty too. My son has been waiting for a refill of iced tea for about half an hour.
Clearly no one on the staff has experience with hospitality services based on the lack of organization displayed.
Update. The manager brought out my sandwich minus French fries, and said I’ll bring you out some hot fries in a minute.
Tables that have been empty for a while are still waiting to be cleared and cleaned.
Update. After we asked our server for the correct beverage for my son, she returned with a kids size cup and NEVER returned. I mean; NEVER. Someone else brought out the food. The manager brought out my food, gave us our check and collected our payment. We got ghosted. Unacceptable service considering they were less than 50% capacity one month into tourist season.

A bad experience doesn’t even cover what we just experienced. We were sat, then approached by the server with “drink?”.. no greeting and a negative tone like he was inconvenienced by us being there. He comes back shortly after and takes our food order. After that we did not see him the rest of our visit. Our food was horrible. The meat omelette was a watery mess, the “toast” was just white bread.. not actually toasted, and the breakfast sandwich was just as bad. Save your money.. don’t come here.

Food was okay. Fruit was old and asked for a new side of fruit and it was old too. Service was slow. No atmosphere no music nothing. Wife was in a bad mood the entire time which didn’t help. If she did review it would be 1star

My son and I went there for breakfast. I got the Crab Benny, which was amazing. My son got the Number Two and he said it was one of the best biscuits he’s ever had. Also my son has bad social anxiety and they accommodated us sitting outside. The server was great. He checked on us multiple times and our coffee cups were never empty. I highly recommend you check them out.

The home fries were NOT like what we saw in the pictures here. Not crispy at all, and just really felt and tasted like boiled potatoes. My husband’s crab benny was good, their bacon is crispy, and their eggs were cooked well; the potato situation just really sank it for us.

Service was not great. Sure, they’re attentive, but you’ll feel like an inconvenience constantly. They are kid friendly, and seem much kinder to the tables that have kids present; we were just adults and didn’t deserve the smile treatment I guess. We had a similar experience in ’21, and I think this was just the last nail in the coffin for us.

Lastly, we’re visiting, so maybe this is a specifically NC thing, but passing on credit charges to the customers when tipping culture is already strained felt weird for us. I’m happy for them that they seem to have a loyal following who enjoy what they provide, but we left pretty bummed.

Waited over an hour for a table for 5. Luckily we were seated before breakfast was over. Worth the wait. The Crabby Benny was delish
