CRACK OF DAWN CAFE – American
A breakfast room on Mary Esther Cut Off in Fort Walton Beach, open seven until two every day and built for the unhurried morning. The Standard keeps things plain: two eggs your way with potatoes or grits and toast. The Big Don does the opposite, stacking three eggs, a choice of meat, potatoes and either a pancake, half a French toast or half an order of biscuits and gravy. There is a layered skillet buried in sausage gravy, country fried steak, and omelets built to order. Catering is offered for events large or small. Homemade in style, unpretentious, and early.
