50/50 Chance? Coin-Flip Choices for Eating Out at the Grande Cayman
- June 7, 2022

There are so many restaurant choices in the equation on vacation.
Especially in Myrtle Beach. There are worthy choices everywhere, so we’ve picked two for each meal — and left it up to a coin flip. Toss caution into the wind, or at least into a flip of the coin.
Let’s get flipping.
Fun Facts About the Coin-Flipping History
We bet you didn’t know these. At least 50% of them.
- The Romans played “ship or head”
The first metal coins emerged in the 7th century BC. Romans called the coin flip “navia aut caput”, which means “ship or heads.”
- You should call the side that’s facing up to begin
Science says a coin has a 51% chance of landing with the side showing before you flip. It’s a slight advantage, but if you can see it, call it. Most people have a superstitious reason for calling heads or tails, though.
- Tails might have the edge
The head side can weigh more. That means it’s possible it’ll fall on that side more often than the other. It’s a toss-up.
BREAKFAST
Did you know that eating a good breakfast helps your body regulate glucose during the day? It’s best to eat within 2 hours of waking up.
Heads: Blueberry's Grill

The Plain Jane French Toast is anything but ordinary. Blueberry muffins and Eggs are a specialty, and the Waffle Blast is a delicious take on a breakfast shake. Choose Oatmeal and Chobani for a healthy alternative. Or the Atlantic Seafood Omelet for something unforgettable. Hash Benedict, Jungle Island Skillet, and the Biscuit Shack Sandwich look so good.
Tails: Croissants Bakery & Bistro
The menu at Croissants Bakery & Bistro features baked goods and American diner food. Bananas Foster French Toast and California Benedict are great. And the grits might be the best you’ve ever had. They’re also famous for desserts, pastries, and wedding cakes.

A Peach Bellini and Sunrise Pizza make a wonderful start to the day. The Smoked Salmon Toast comes on housemade sourdough. The Tropical Smoothie is delicious. Try the Southern Benedict or Bistro Chicken Crepes for a distinctive breakfast.
LUNCH
Regarded as the day’s most important meal in some nations, “lunch” comes from the formal “luncheon.” That is a formal Northern English term meaning “noon drink.”
Heads: Croakers at the Pier
You’ll get amazing service, with drinks rarely getting low or any entree not satisfying you. If you enjoy sweet tea and spectacular ocean views, Croakers at the Pier is the place for you. Enjoy fresh local shrimp, sandwiches, salads, and more at this casual joint.

The Fried Pickled Spears are delicious, and the Chicken Caesar Salad is yummy. Choose a Turkey Sandwich, Buffalo Shrimp Wrap, or Chicken Tenders to take poolside. Grilled Cheese for the children and a Caribbean Kiss Bucket Drink for the parents? You might like a Tropical Admiral on the rocks or Frozen Strawberry Margarita. They also serve a refreshing Pina Colada Daquiri.
DINNER
Even though dinner usually happens in the evening, the word “dinner” is from the Old French word “disnar.” It means “breakfast.
