I am pretty sure Mark's Place is NOT open for breakfast. I have a menu in front of me and there is no breakfast listed. They open at 11:00am and that is not breakfast hours. Never eaten there myself but the Cappuccino Diner in Cole Bay might fit the bill. LINK

Cappuccino Diner has been there and in the same location for a long time so they must be doing something right but I have never personally eaten there.
Mark's Place Hours: Hours: Wednesday 11AM–10PM Thursday 11AM–10PM Friday 11AM–10PM Saturday 11AM–10PM Sunday 11AM–10PM Monday 11AM–10PM Tuesday 11AM–10PM

We went to Cappucino Diner once, late night, as it was the only thing open, and was not impressed with food or service, although I am sure we DIDN'T have breakfast, and breakfast is usually kind of hard to screw up. Chesterfield's is a very traditional breakfast place on SXM. The Hideaway at LaVista Resort has lovely breakfast. Can't think of the name of it, but the place at Royal Islander serves American style breakfast, La Tortuga maybe?? There may be somewhere in Jordan Village also.

George--It sounds like perhaps you are talking about Hilma's, which has been closed since Irma. And not really a diner, in the American sense, if that's what the original poster was asking for. She specialized in Johnny Cakes and traditional SXM food.

Cappucinno is actually a frame structure that kinds of sits up a little bit like it is on short stilts. I don't recall any trailer in that area and as others stated, Hilma's is long gone and that was a little trailer.

As someone else said, to get to Hilma's, if it were still there, from Billy Folly road, you'd turn left. The earlier post describing how to get to Cappucino directed one to turn right.

At least we are all getting on the same page with the restaurant and location.

Ritchard, my vote is El Zorro‘s! Now I know that my spelling is way off, but that’s what I call it! (See attached photo) But you can order your breakfast as greasy as you want, or not! And you can dingy over to it and just beach it, it will be fine. That looks like where I would head. A couple over easy, bacon and potatoes. Wash it down with an OJ and finish it with a coffee drink. Hit a lounger and contemplate lunch.

Wendell--yes, the Yacht Club is great for breakfast. I've eaten breakfast at the YC more times than I can count - primarily because of the health benefits of bloody marys for brekkie. It doesn't fit the greasy spoon idea I have in mind. They have nice spoons but not enough grease.

I am not a big breakfast person and when I have had breakfast on the island, it has never been the "greasy spoon" variety. I think if that is what I wanted, I would buy the ingredients and make it myself. Good luck.
You mentioned "diner" and that is when Cappuccino came to mind.
