Pretty average overall. The biggest draw is the location, and the prices definitely reflect that. Expect to pay around $30 for a basic breakfast of pancakes, bacon, and eggs. The food was decent, but not memorable enough to justify the cost. Meal type: Breakfast Price per person: $30–40 Food: 3 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 4

The crab cakes here are absolutely delicious, the best I've had in years and are almost entirely lump crab meat. The fries and the slaw are good, I've never had any other sides. The fries aren't covered in spices/s and that's a big plus. Service is very good. Seating is very casual. To be clear, I'm talking about the vendor/counter in the corner with the long wooden table in front. I'm a very discerning eater who favors mom & pop, genuine family restaurants. Never, ever do I eat at chains. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4

I love The Market Lunch! I’ve been coming here since 2016. My go to meal is the pancakes and a side piece of whiting. I use to go multiple times throughout the week and ended up building a rapport with the staff. They’re so sweet! I didn’t go for almost 3 years and upon me returning they still recognized me. The owner is super nice too, he pops in every now and again. I did try something different today, the avocado sandwich. I wasn’t a fan! It was very dry. It was a thin layer of avocado spread, one fried egg, two slices of tomatoes and spinach. I’m sure someone may like it, it’s just not for me. It lacked flavor and I’m glad I ordered the mix drink because I was very parched while eating the sandwich. I won’t get it again. I’ll stick to what I know. Oh, the crab cake is good too! Meal type: Breakfast Price per person: $10–20 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes: Fish, Blueberry Buckwheat Pancakes, Crab Cake Sandwich
