"We stayed at the motel and ate dinner and breakfast here. The staff was incredible both times, food was not disappointing and being attached to the motel made for amazing location. They even offer some beer and bloody mary options. I did not partake in either but i overheard the table next to us mention how delicious their bloodies were. We would definitely eat here again!"

"Their food is amazing! Everyone was super nice! We didn't get a room there though. And the only reason I knocked off a star was because they asked if we wanted A1 but it's not even A1 it's just a regular stake sauce."

"Came for breakfast and added some really good bloodies to our tab. I ordered the mustard infused bloody mary and absolutely LOVED it. However, the BCT was prettier. The food was fast and great. The service was very friendly. I had the eggs Benedict 🥚 and my friend had a traditional breakfast. Great job, Bay Restaurant 👏"
