“ I always love coming here. The food and service is always on spot. Great local place to eat ”

“ You wouldn't expect it walking in from the outside, but the decor is absolutely beautiful. We were greeted immediately by the owner, who was very personable and down to earth. He also came later to check on our meal, which was a first for me in many years. It's very impressive and speaks volumes for the establishment. Our service was very friendly, prompt, and full of smiles. Our meals were cooked promptly to perfection and very satisfying. Even the baby ate his whole plate, which he usually doesn't do. This may just hit the top of our list of favorite places for a Sunday brunch. ”

“ My absolute go-to diner in Florida! This family-owned gem delivers an outstanding dining experience with top-notch food and service. The prices are refreshingly reasonable, considering the exceptional quality of their offerings. Almost everything is crafted fresh from scratch, a testament to their commitment to culinary excellence. During my vacation, I found myself drawn to this diner four times for both breakfast and lunch, and each visit was a delightful culinary adventure. I can't recommend their breakfast items enough, especially the heavenly egg benedicts and the delightful array of sweet breakfast options. For those chilly days, their scratch-made soups are a warm and comforting treat, perfect for takeout. And speaking of breakfast indulgence, don't miss out on their diverse Mimosas selection featuring Italian champagne Prosecco – a luxurious touch that pairs wonderfully with your morning meal. The freshly brewed coffee surpasses any corporate brand, offering a rich and aromatic start to your day. For lunch, the hidden treasures are the paninis, not on the regular menu but showcased on the board as daily specials. Trust me; they are worth the try! What truly sets this diner apart is their dedication to locally sourced produce. From the enticing cantaloupe to other fresh ingredients, everything is proudly acquired from local farmers. It's more than a meal; it's a celebration of community and flavors. If you find yourself in the area, do yourself a favor and savor a meal at this diner. You won't regret supporting a place that takes pride in everything made and grown locally. Cheers to unforgettable dining experiences! ”

“ If you make an effort to go off the beaten path or out of the way to less popular restuarants, this is how you will find great places to enjoy and have more variety in your choices to eat out. It was well maintained, clean, and cozy. They offer counter, booth, or tabletop seating. The menu had an ample number of choices for everyone. They serve Wine, Mimosas, and Bloody Mary's. The food was brought quickly. It was hot and fresh. The grits were cooked perfectly like they were made by someone who loves to eat grits. The omelet was enormous. The home fried potatoes were crisp and tender. The sausage gravy was from scratch and flavorful with the right consistency. Not to thick like wall paste and not to runny. I really liked the "Emilys signature hot sauce". The wheat toast was a healthy selection. The waitress, Courtney was very helpful and visited my table several times to offer to bring anything else I wanted. They had specials for the day to offer inexpensive meal choices. For the meal I had made the way I wanted with several extras was worth every dime it cost! I strongly recommend that you add this place to your list of favorites. You will not be disappointed! ”

“ Quaint little place in Crystal Beach. Friendly service, the food was good and the restaurant was super clean. We would definitely come back. ”

“ I’ve been going here all my life. So going to Emily’s is a ritual for me! My aunt introduced me to this place before she passed away and it has become a comforting space, filled with nostalgia, amazing food, and an eclectic atmosphere. Very family friendly, but also is a great place to go for a quick cup of coffee with a a breakfast. ”
