Talented cooks and best pulled pork I have ever had! Great local spot and friendly staff! Amazing specials for a cheap price. Hidden gem on the shoreline! Ricky and Lukas are a talented duo, prepare yourself for a meal and a show. Nice open line so you can see your food being cooked right in front of you. Hard working people pumping out fresh, creative meals! THIS IS A MUST TRY! Turtle Cafe is an absolute institution !

Definitely a hidden gem. We had planned to try another nearby spot for Sunday breakfast/brunch but they had a long wait and I had peeked at the menu here and the crepes sounded amazing. I was not disappointed the Lobster Crepe was to die for. Loaded with lobster, goat cheese and spinach and the sauce omg I ate every bite.
My husband got the woody omelete which was corned beef hash and cheese. The corned beef was excellent.
We sat at the counter and chatted up a few regulars. It was like breakfast and a show watching the chef and sous chef knock out dishes with precision and ease. They were a well oiled machine and I'm looking forward to going back.

Passing up the gigantic breakfast buffet at the resort we were staying at, we came here for breakfast today on the recommendation of our dinner waiter (who is a local). Holy cow, what a place. It was hopping! We squeezed in at the counter which was prime viewing to watch the chef, Lucas, work his magic. It was a cross between Top Chef and NASCAR. In that tiny space he was cranking it all out: fluffy pancakes, the best home fries I ever ate, fritattas, creps and eggs of all kinds. I opted for the lobster Benedict, done with giant chunks of fresh lobster meat sautéed with fresh spinach and with a perfectly poached egg, while hubby had the amazing hash + eggs. Lucas made sure everyone felt as welcomed as a regular. We will absolutely be back, even if it's out of the way because it's THAT GOOD.

By far the best breakfast I've had in quite a while!! Coffee is strong, just the way I like it!! The environment feels vintage, like a true hometown dinner, but the staff and food are definitely far from that!! I can't forget to say, the staff waa great, and the chef was amazing. They all have great personality and are amazing to watch!! A must visit, and repeated return.

Had breakfast, the service and the food were excellent. Gave only 3 stars because the restaurant needs to be thoroughly and I mean thoroughly cleaned by a professional cleaning service. The equipment is old but that is no excuse. I realize the cooking area is cramped and stuff falls but the rest of the place has no excuse.

Wow ! Turtle Cafe is out of this world. Their breakfast in my opinion having lived 55 years on the shoreline is the best hands down.The Turtle Cafe is a must try ! Also to the owners give your gifted chef a raise.

The food was decent but I was disgusted. The cook was touching everything with his bare hands and wiping his hands on a dirty paper towel. He touched our eggs with his bare hands picking stuff out of it he touched our raw egg mix shortly after he touched raw bacon. Very unsanitary. I felt like saying put some gloves on🤢
