One of the best weekend brunches in SC County! Highly recommend the Benedicts. Their gluten free options are excellent. No matter what you order, if you have toast, ask for the strawberry butter. It's divine.

Small, friendly, authentic Chinese restaurant that was very accommodating for gluten free dining. We had a wide variety of dishes and everyone enjoyed it at our table for eight. Prices are quite reasonable for the size and locale. Worth the drive over to find it after a day at the boardwalk.

Fantastic breakfast burritos and friendly service! My wife and son loved their "taco style" (gluten free) vegan burrito. Be sure to get plenty of their hot sauce to put on top.

Atmosphere is definitely old school but well cared for. The service was excellent and attentive. The food was delicious and prepared correctly to complete all special requests, including an excellent gluten free bun for the burger. Highly recommend and will be back in the future to try their weekend brunch. We didn't do any alcohol with this dinner. So our price per person was lower.
