The Chicken or The Egg  is a restaurant between second and third streets on the Boulevard. The place is usually packed with people waiting on the sidewalk. The food and service range consistently between great and excellent.

The Beach House Restaurant is located about five miles south of the causeway on the Boulevard. . We stopped in early in the season in 2017 and had a fantastic meal.  It is a BYOB so bring a bottle. Check out their early bird specials. You beat the rush and get a good deal.

We stopped in for an early lunch. They have a great selection of sandwiches along with salads, wraps, tacos and more.
