U.S. Navy veteran visits Florida cafe every day for breakfast, helps with tasks, employees say he’s ‘special’

A U.S. Navy veteran has touched thousands of hearts after a local café posted news of his loyalty to the restaurant. Mr. Lee, as he is known, is a veteran who lives in Pensacola, Florida, and visits the Scenic 90 Cafe every morning for breakfast. 

Lee, who served in the U.S. Navy for over 30 years, walks into the west Florida diner every single morning looking for a good meal and a good chat. Server Kelli Gomez has been waiting on Lee for at least a year. She told Fox News Digital that Lee loves to sit at the counter and share stories with the staff. 

"He just comes in, in the morning time, and eats breakfast … He loves to sit there and tell us about his stories and his memories with his wife and kids," she said. Every morning, Lee orders a house special that includes an over-easy egg, cheese grits, a biscuit and a sausage patty — and he sometimes comes back for lunch.
