Stopped here on day 2 of my backpacking trip. I got the big scramble and it was a lot of food and was actually pretty delicious. I ordered tortillas instead on the toast since I'm gluten sensitive. The service was great and the staff was nice. The bathrooms were clean which was great since the blackjack campground bathrooms were pretty disgusting and didn't have toilet paper. They also had a few treats/snacks and a few other items like chapstick, sunblock, phone charger, etc.

Cute airport, amazing to watch the airplanes land. Only had the hot dog and delicious cookie. They have a cute little shop for souvenirs. You can walk around and watch the planes, has seating area outdoors and indoors. We stopped here as part of Eco tour Catalina Island Conservancy.
