These guys are known for their huge Apple Fritters, aka Apple Ugliest, but if you don't get a breakfast sandwich with the homemade bread and an iced cinnamon roll at least 3 or 4 times, you are doing yourself a disservice. Typically I don't like sharing my food, not even with my dog. But the portions are VERY generous and it is possible to share without missing out on the experience. I had the Devina on the homemade Italian bread with ham and one time with the sausage. Both times I didn't even talk to my husband b/c I was too busy focused on my next bite. My husband had the breakfast burrito and he is a hard sell on everything, very picky. But he didn't have anything to say except ... Can we come tomorrow? The cinnamon rolls are placed right under your nose when you're ordering so you HAVE to get one. This is the first cinnamon roll I've ever had where I considered not getting it iced the next time. The roll was so dang good and perfectly coated in a crust of cinnamon and sugar it was almost like a cinnamon sugar roll churro. I was shocked I enjoyed the non iced part, because everyone knows the center where it's still soft and gooey with the most frosting is the best part.

• We visited Thursday morning in late December 2023 (after Christmas) • We saw on google they were close to where we were staying and opened early and had good reviews and decided to give it a try. • Pulling in it was packed parking lot and because it had been raining for over 2 days part of the lot was flooded and difficult to maneuver when we got there. • We walked in and there was 2 groups ahead of us but everything looked SOOO good. We heard online that we had to try the Apple Uglies and so happy we did. We got 2. They were like $5 but SOO worth it. Baked perfectly and filled with so much apple cinnamon and sugar. They were HEAVY! We also got the deep-fried peach pie and the blueberry pie (I think they were like $4.50 and totally worth it). Just drooling they were soo good too. Our youngest wanted the little donut holes and I think it was like $5 for dozen or $0.50 each. We got a dozen, and he loved them. • If we were in the Cape Hatteras area we would stop by again for sure. • We bought the baked good and drove over to the Hatteras National Seashore Visitor Center and ate them there while waiting for the visitor center to open. The dining are inside seemed to be closed when we...
