Iconic Main street breakfast/brunch/lunch location known from the beach genre of music in the 1960's. Great range of food choices for adults and kids but can be packed on weekends. Front patio seating right on Main street or back patio for when the place overflows. I love the food here but I would recommend grabbing a Starbucks a few doors down to help with the wait and replace the old school coffee if that is not your thing.

While I don't recommend this venue for food or to go alone, it's a great place to go on Thursday, Friday or Saturday night for live bands(no cover charge), dancing and pool tables. Although it is very Western themed, the genre of band ranges from country to rock to a Beatles cover band. It's within walking distance straight down beach but I recommend you take an Uber home if you have been drinking. Great for groups who can take advantage of their large booths overlooking the dance floor.
