I tend to be a fan of what some might call “breakfast dives”, by which I mean no frills kind of places where they sling hash browns and the waitresses call people “honey” and “darlin'”. Well, welcome to Southern Charm. Highly convenient to the Port Canaveral cruise terminal, which is how we found them. As these sorts of places go, I’d have to say it isn’t among my favorites based on this first visit, but we certainly left satisfied. Friendly service, a larger array of menu items than I would have probably expected, and decent quality. Would we go again? That’s a maybe. Our favorite breakfast place when we’re in the area has always been the aptly named Simply Delicious, and for sure that remains true. But it’s closed on Mondays so we found ourselves at Southern Charm. Food quality was good. Eggs over easy were well prepared, eggs scrambled were not overcooked as you get some places, and the bacon was tasty & crispy. We tried both the home fries and the hash browns and found them to be Equals. Just depends on your mood and preferences. Gravy was quite good. Not overly peppery which we appreciated. The chicken left a little something to be desired. Wouldn’t recommend that to be honest, but it was okay. Sweet tea was (very) sweet. So to wrap up, just a very friendly place, seemed to be amply large where you wouldn’t have a wait other than at prime times, and reasonably priced. Super causal. Easy parking. (But if it’s not a Monday next time we’re in Cocoa, we will be back at Simply Delicious instead.)
