Low key atmosphere in the shopping center.Food was average. Would pass on the crab cakes as they were large but very mushy.Blackened mahi was good.Burgers good.Skinny French fries.Drinks were okJust average over all. Would opt for other options before returning here. Not great but not bad.

Very different spin on bennie sauce, but I LOVED it!!! Home fries are outstanding... not your usual chain restaurant potatoes!!! Drawback was the bartender going on and on about his night out drinking on others' dime... once he told his story four times to staff, he did become less LOUD...wait staff was excellent ...outdoor seating available... saw GIANT biscuit but did not order one this time... next time for sure!! We appreciate food cooked to order! Thanks for the lovely breakfast..

We didn’t plan on coming, but my boyfriend and I decided to stop by and eat. We dined in, and our server James was very friendly and attentive to our needs. We didn’t have to wait on anything. We both got the First Watch just to be safe and it was very delicious. Everything was freshly made, even the fries. Will be back, but we’ll try for breakfast next time!

Fantastic!!!The best breakfast in Corolla - hands down!Great atmosphere, incredible staff, and some of the best food anywhere!!!The biscuits and gravy are an absolute standout. Huge homemade biscuits and a delicious homemade sausage gravy that are some of the best I've ever had.The crab eggs benedict is another dish that is a must. Awesome hollandaise sauce with perfectly poached eggs and a very generous portion of crabmeat.Be sure to get a Chesapeake Bloody Mary. It's damned good.The Grapefruit Crush is a phenomenal option for those not a fan of bloody marys.Absolutely highly recommend!!!

We got the breakfast food. The one classic is just eggs with toast and home fries. Their home fries are pretty good soft inside and crispy and seasoned on the outsidr.The meat omelette was decent . The xxxl platter the bacon was nice and crispy and the pancakes delicious. A shrimp basket was tasty. The slaw that came with it was good. All plates here are pretty large in portion. Food here is decent. We would get breakfast here again.We have been back here several times now and we also got the Philly egg sub. It is stick and cheese with two eggs on top. It was delicious. We got the mahi-mahi sandwich was slightly under dry side. But the seasoning was delicious. Very large piece of mahia mahi fish. We also got the veggie scramble which was very large in portion even though it was on the menu as the "lighter side". They serve breakfast until 2pm. Also you can sit outside with your dog.Vegetarian options: You can get the veggie scrambleParking: Lots of parking available.Kid-friendliness: Kids menu available

Let me first say that I'm glad I didn't post my review when I first walked in the place. Happy to say my first thoughts were absolutely incorrect. We did get seated outside, however they do not have an ocean view. It was lovely may be partially because we made it lovely we interacted with the staff and they interacted with us and it went very very well. The food I ordered was very good scrambled eggs with cheese, home fries excellent biscuit gravy homemade biscuit is my guess. I didn't get to meet the owner who is the chef as well, however I did meet a couple of the servers and they were fabulous.

While restaurant is open all day, breakfast is best bet and option here. Burgers are good, but I would say outside of breakfast it is just ok. Location is in Timbuck II shopping center. Physical is casual. Nothing to really complain or brag about. They do have outside seating. Parking can be really tough depending on time of day. Service is always decent enough and friendly staff. Decent enough place, but breakfast is definitely the highlight.

We chose First Light as a place to eat lunch. They actually serve breakfast and lunch. Right now, I think it's hard to judge service. Everyone is short handed and I want to be fair. Our server was great once he got to us. He was helpful when I asked about ingredients in the chicken salad. (I'm a little picky and don't like to get surprised by grapes, raisins, or apples in the chicken salad.) My chicken salad sandwich was tasty with interesting herbs and spices but not offensive at all.. it was really nice.. onion rings were pretty good too..Looking around, their breakfast loomed great! The biscuits looked fluffy and perfect. The pancakes, French toast, and omelets were very generously portioned.I would definitely come back and try the breakfast. Hopefully with a little time service will become easier.

Amazing! Great prices. Quick service. I got the big bacon burger. My husband the blue cheese. It was juicy to the last drop! So big and filling. Paid th extra $1 for the fries and it was worth it. Crispy but not to crispy on the outside, warm and soft in the middle. YUMMY. They also sell locally made art.

Had a great visit. Staff was polite and attentive. Food was tasty especially the breakfast potatoes. I ordered the egg and Philly steak and cheese and my husband got the meat omelete. Also enjoyed the open bar and mimosas with breakfast.

Would have loved to give this place a good review....but this morning we arrived at 7:30 (opening time) to a locked door. After 5 minutes we looked into the window and made eye contact with 2 employees. Both turned away and ignored us. So we stood there in the cold and rain and waited.... Finally, at 7:43 a girl walks over, unlocks the door and walks away. No Hello, no good morning, no sorry for being late, she didnt even open the door to greet us. The rudeness was enough to walk away. Can't imagine she would have been any more pleasant to give my money to. Went to Foodlion and got a dozen of eggs instead.

This is the best eggs Benedict in Carolla. Best service and best price. All I can say is I am glad we were there in the off season to be able to eat there as much as we did. I bet it is crazy busy during the season.Wheelchair accessibility: Has a ramp

What a great breakfast! We got eggs, bacon, home fries, biscuits, sausage gravy and a pancake. Everything was cooked perfectly, the biscuits were huge and fluffy, the pancake had just the right amount of sweetness in each bite and the sausage gravy was seasoned just right with nice bites of sausage included! It was my favorite! The staff was engaging and friendly, the new owner was great to talk to! Highly recommend! Looking forward to trying dinner there sometime soon!

Great place, get the sausage gravy, so good - great with fries. Crab Benedict also excellent. Had the burger with bacon and egg, good but liked my husband's Crab Benedict better.

Juan Carlos was an excellent host who greatly added to the atmosphere of the meal! Our food was excellent! The First Light French toast was amazing (although could use a bit more strawberries). We ate outside so I cannot speak to the interior atmosphere. Our table had a smaller umbrella to protect against the sun which meant a couple of us were blitzed with full sun but the mimosas helped cool me off! We were on our way out of town after an excellent week and Juan Carlos provided the cap to our vacation! Thank you!
