Brunch Perfection! I finally know why this diner-type restaurant is so popular and highly rated. From the minute we walked in, it was clear that these folks have perfected the restaurant experience. Staff were all so friendly and so proud of what they are accomplishing for us. 100% sanitation. From what I can tell, everything is made in house. Even the steak sauce that came with my Steak & Eggs Shack, the side of queso I got to go with it and the hot sauce on the table. Hot tea is served with maple syrup if you want to sweeten it. Coffee is kept refilled. Food is outstanding. The biscuits are huge and surprisingly light at the same time and come with whatever daily spreads they have made for them. They are known for their grits. For good reason. Sis loved her Chicken and Waffles too. Portions huge. Inexpensive. What's not to love???

Spur of the moment decision to come here and I'm glad we did! Amazing food and service. Everything is homemade - jam, biscuits, queso, you name it! Service was quick once you got a seat, they have a cute mimosa and coffee bar around the corner while you wait for a table. Very well run! I got the special, Baja Bowl with grits and biscuits. My husband got the Banks Omelet. 5/5!

You can't go wrong with shrimp and bacon in an omelette! And the pimento cheese really just sets it off! The biscuits here are some of the best I've ever had, and the homemade island jam ) pineapple mango and orange) is so good!

We visited Bank's and had a great Breakfast Experience. Fortunately on the day we were there, no wait was wait, we were seated and drink orders taken. The Biscuits and Gravy are Top Notch. The Grits are AMAZING! The BEST service! We were served by "T", and she never missed a beat! We have found a new place for breakfast! Give it a try, you won't be disappointed! FIVE STARS‼

I've lived here for 7 years and had never been here! I was missing out! The service was great. The place was very nice and I loved the decor! I had the Grande Burrito and it was fantastic! My love had the country fried steak and he liked it but it wasn't his fave. Needed some more flavor, but it's usually topped in gravy and he didn't have the gravy so I'm sure it took away from the overall flavor. The owner's wife, Ellen, came by to check on us as well and chatted a bit. Super sweet lady! We will definitely be back! Hoping they have the tie dye shirts back in stock by then!

I wish I could give the Banks Grill 10 stars for two reasons. 1. The waitstaff. They get first place because they're the heart and soul. Not only was our waitress attentive and friendly, we watched them all interact with the clientele. Everyone was so warm and personable, truly above, beyond, and genuine. 2. Our food was incredible. I put my diet aside and went for the Land and Sea Benedict. It was a seasonal special. No regrets. It was ridiculous and I mean that in the best way possible. (See picture). My hubby had the pancakes and they were also really good. I was so obsessed with mine, I forgot to take a picture. Also, the tropical mimosa was great. Highly recommend. There will likely be a wait but the time was just as predicted. Just do it.. you won't be disappointed.

Delicious. Breakfast or lunch. The pancakes were delicious and today I tried their Baja steak tacos. Yum. The black beans and rice were delicious too. Service is great too. Can't go wrong here.

This is one of our GO TO places when we are at the beach. Every single time we visit, they knock breakfast so far out of the park and the service is excellent. It's tucked away in the corner of a busy shopping center, but don't let that deter you from going in! They offer MANY different things on their menu and have wonderful daily specials. We ordered the build your own omelet with home fries, The spicy fish with tomato gravy/eggs/home fries and 2 mimosas. Their servings are so large, you have no chance of leaving still hungry. Everything was flavored perfectly, and my husband discovered the heavenly flavors of true southern tomato gravy! Their mimosas were just okay, but still were worth a try. The entire staff is ALWAYS kind and cordial, even if the place is slammed. Prices are MORE than reasonable for the portions you receive. I'm already looking forward to visiting the next time we are down that way!!! Also recommended::: their biscuits and sausage gravy!!!
