Players Cafe - Ponte Vedra Beach

The food was plentiful but rather mediocre. Unfortunately, the service did not meet expectations. I asked for a water refill, but I never received one. I ordered a milk, and a 4-ounce cup for kids cost me $2.50. When I ordered a sandwich to take away, they didn't start preparing it until I was about to leave, so I found myself waiting for five minutes with nothing to do. For breakfast, the corned beef hash didn’t appeal to me; however, the hash browns and eggs were okay. Overall, it wasn’t a pleasant experience, and I cannot recommend it.

I agree with Max J.'s opinion, though I'm a bit more lenient with my star ratings. Players has stood the test of time; it's the quintessential diner in PV. It has been around since before I was in high school, and the evidence of its longevity is literally written on the walls. Breakfast is definitely their forte. Nothing is ever really disappointing, but they truly excel at breakfast. While the menu may appear simple and straightforward, they are very accommodating with modifications. Want to add cheese, include mayonnaise, remove the tomato, or add bacon? Feel free to make any changes you want, and they will likely be able to accommodate your requests.

The breakfast was enjoyable and well-prepared. The staff was friendly as well. However, the entire establishment could use a fresh coat of paint and a bit of sprucing up. I did notice that some renovations are currently in progress.

I have been coming to players cafe for as long as I can remember. When it comes to the service and food I'm never disappointed. I try to get in before church gets out and they become slammed on Sunday's! I love the murals on the wall and now their new cute candy bar area! I would like to see them update the restaurant just a bit inside. Maybe re carpet and throw a splash of color on the wall below the murals. Just needs a bit of freshness... Change is never a bad thing! If you're looking for a breakfast joint you won't be sorry for stopping in!

I came here after many Ponte Vedra long-timers suggested it. I will never take their food suggestions seriously again. I still love them, though. It was a Saturday and the place was bustling. We were able to walk-in with 4-people and sit near the window. I'm sure the regulars say the caricatures are so great they might as well have come straight out of The Vatican. The reality though is: they've just come from people so bored waiting 45min for an egg sandwich they took to the walls with any available pen. After waiting 10-minutes for our server to deliver the best watered-down coffee I've ever had, we waited another 10-minutes to have our orders taken. The bacon was a microwave-special, the eggs were undercooked, the fruit cup was a joke, and the pancakes.. Aunt Jemima would be proud that the cooks were watering down the batter as if there was a guideline to use as much water as possible to conserve batter for the Apocalypse. I'm going to skip Players Cafe from here on. My suggestion is that you do too.
