Sand Dollar Cafe

This little hole-in-the-wall place is phenomenal! My husband needed gluten-fee and dairy-free options, and this place delivered that in the most delicious, Southern comfort food way. The staff was super-helpful and kind. The atmosphere was like sitting at your grandparents' house. And the fact that the food was ready to go, buffet-styled was great because we were HUNGRY from walking around downtown.

Years ago a friend who lived in Port St. Joe brought us here for lunch- and we have added it to our yearly trip. The owners are generous,funny and delightful.Their food is spectacular and not your normal meat and three or cafeteria style, it's elevated and tastes wonderful! One of our favorite pastimes is on our yearly trip down to the Cape, we read all of the negative reviews and laugh and giggle at the owner's responses... I would love to give a bad review ONLY to have the owner roast us!! However, we will stick to enjoying the good food, great service and reading the ridiculous bad reviews. Thank you for creating a restaurant that feels like home..we tell everyone we know about y'all!

A friend of mine from St. Joe recommended that we try this place before traveling back home (out of state), and I’m glad we did. The breakfast was excellent. I had the shrimp and grits along with the potato casserole, and we also ordered eggs with a side of breakfast potatoes. When we arrived, a gentleman behind the serving line greeted us, and another employee took the time to explain the daily specials. While we were eating, two other staff members checked on us to make sure everything was great. My ratings: Food: A+ Service: A+ Value/Cost: A+ Cleanliness/Location: A+ Highly Recommended!

Sand Dollar Cafe is a charming local spot with a warm, homey atmosphere and nostalgic décor that makes you feel right at home the moment you walk in. The cafeteria-style setup is quick and convenient, and I was pleasantly surprised by the many gluten-free options available. The meatloaf and smashed potatoes were especially tasty—comfort food done right. On top of that, the greeting and service were friendly and efficient, making the whole experience even better. If lunch was this good, I’d bet breakfast is great too!
