What a delightful breakfast we had here! This place is beautiful on the inside and out. When we got there there was no wait (presumable because the weather was poor) and got seated at a nice table with a view of the street. Our waiter was very friendly and had no problem with us using our laptop for an online auction we had to do. We got the breakfast tacos, breakfast skillet, and sausage biscuits with gravy. Each were amazing, especially my biscuits and gravy that came with delicious cheesy scrambled eggs, tater tots, and to die for sausage biscuits with gravy. Both other meals were also excellent. I like that they put a slice of cucumber and a blueberry in the water - it’s a small detail that makes a big difference! Will definitely be getting breakfast here next time we are in St. Michael’s. - also included are pictures of all the menus.

We went to The Galley for Sunday breakfast. Service was excellent, the food was fantastic and very generous, and the location is great. I had the Grand Chesapeake skillet and could only get through about 1/3 of it because there was so much, but it was very good. My husband had the biscuits and gravy, which was really two huge biscuit and sausage sandwiches with gravy on top. It was all really good. I would have tried one of the bloody Mary’s but we had to drive back over the bridge after breakfast - will have one next time!

We had an amazing brunch at The Galley in Saint Michael’s, and every bite was outstanding! The food was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. The Sunnyside Up Skillet was cooked to perfection, and the English muffin was the ideal complement. The Caramel Apple Sticky Bun was an absolute showstopper—warm, gooey, and packed with just the right amount of sweetness. The Aloha Sunrise Smoothie was refreshing and delicious, the perfect start to the meal. The Breakfast Quesadilla was hearty and flavorful, especially with the added bacon and sausage. Beyond the food, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere was welcoming. Whether you’re a local or just visiting, this place is a must-try for brunch. We’ll definitely be back!

We stopped in for an early lunch/brunch meal after some morning shopping. The food was delicious and the staff was friendly. They were helpful with recommendations from the menu. Huge portions of really tasty food. Only complaint was the day was warm and there was no AC in the dining room, so that was tough. But I guess that’s to be expected with old houses. Will definitely be back!

Brunch here is awesome! Highly recommend. Great for a group. Service was excellent, she was very personable, helpful and knowledgeable. The pastries were warm and delicious. The cocktails were awesome. Even the water had fruit in it and was refreshing. Our meals were huge platters, so good and fresh.

We usually hit up Ava's with our pup but they were full up (and it is cold outside). My sis recommended The Galley just a few blocks away...excellent! And the pup is happy on the cool brick floor while we enjoy a heated enclosed patio with yummy bloodies and lunch (wide variety....we will be back to try something diff). If you travel with your dog, this is a great St. Michaels option!
