This is one of my favorite restaurants for brunch in Winter Park! In fact, I've stopped in twice in the last three weeks. I bought a friend from New York who was visiting and she loved it. She requested if they could make her a Chunky Chicken Salad sandwich, rather than the salad on the menu. They obliged and even gave her a Bleu Cheese Caesar salad on the side. Briarpatch knows how to impress as well as cater to the needs of the customer! I ordered one of my favorites, the Brown Rice Bowl and it was fresh and more than filling for lunch. Various flavored mimosas were enjoyed also. I went again last week with local friends as all three of us enjoy this place (and its mimosas!!) One friend tried the Chunky Chicken Salad on the menu (seasonal fruits and berries with zucchini bread sandwiches) and commented on the presentation (which Briarpatch is also well known for) and the freshness of the fruit. She especially enjoyed the zucchini sandwiches! Her husband ordered the Roast Beef Sandwich as it is one of his favorites on the menu. He devoured every bite of it and was very pleased with the tenderness of the beef and the flavor of the au jus. I ordered the Short Rib Benedict as I eyed it a few weeks back. It did not disappoint! Plenty of shredded, perfectly cooked short rib was on a bed of crispy hash browns. Two poached eggs covered in hollandaise sauce sat nicely on top of this amazing dish. It was heaven! Based on the above, I trust you can understand why I love this place. Outdoor seating, exemplary service each and every time I visit and food that is picture-perfect and tastes outstanding. What more could you ask for?! I highly recommend the Briarpatch! read more

There's a reason there is always a line and it's because this is literally the perfect place to have brunch. It's definitely worth the wait. It gets super crowded, but nonetheless nothing beats the food. Cinnamon rolls 10/10- everything you could want a more from a cinnamon roll. Just enough frosting just the way we like it. Pancakes 9/10/ super fluffy and tasty Smoked Salmon Benedict 8/10 with crispy fries + garlic aoli sauce (upcharge) - everything's an upcharge and no substitutions allowed as they pre-craft everything it seemed like. They have brunch specials, there was this sausage hasbrown egg sandwich which came with home fries & it was super crispy as well. Side of hash-browns were also super crispy and delish. Fried tomatoes are a must try here if you like tomatoes, it comes with a side of a cilantro sauce.. California Benedict is also a great choice the Hollandaise sauce on top was delish. Staff was good, checked in on us a few times, it was super busy inside. Ambiance: Beautiful location, seating is a bit tight so for bigger parties, maybe make a reservation ahead of time. Parking garage just across the street on levels 4-5 free parking as well as street parking if you're lucky. Great location to walk around after as well. read more

Southern hospitality? Yeah.. not happening at Briarpatch restaurant. We're just passing thru, I'm not even sure where we are. Winter Park, has a Southampton vibe with its brick streets and boutique shops. I'm looking for a nice breakfast spot, Briarpatch restaurant has 2000 positive reviews, it seems like a safe bet so I set the nav to pancakes and off we go. Briarpatch restaurant is beautiful and very busy. The four of us are seated and are given menus. Breakfast for me is easy peasy, blueberry lemon squeezey. The blueberry pancakes for me are a solid choice. My wife and her sister order chicken sausage. My wife asked for egg whites, not a problem ma'am. Our plates come out, the egg whites? Do y'all know about egg whites? There should be no trace of yolks, just egg whites. I'm not sure how no one saw this but the entree was dotted with yolks. My wife asked the waitress to send her plate back. The waitress said she couldn't?? Never once said: I am so sorry, can I get you something else? We're all hearing this banter, now my wife asks for the manager. The manager comes over with the same deal. I understand ma'am the egg whites have yolk in them. We still have to half charge for the sausage. What the heck is going on?! I must point out, the chicken sausage was the worst sausage we ever had, with waaaay too much cumin. Burnt on the outside and dry on the inside. Ultimately, they took my wife's order off the bill but she was still hungry! Just poor customer service but the biggest standout? This is not a cheap spot! I think the Park Avenue address has Briarpatch Restaurant thinking it's ok to charge a higher price? In all fairness, My pancakes as I posted on my picture, were cooked perfectly. They tasted great with no issues from me. No one needs a hassle for breakfast. I assumed I found a nice, out of the way spot while on vacation. In the end, I had to stop at another restaurant for my wife. Thumbs down from me. read more

Haven't been to Briarpatch in over a decade! I wouldn't dare go on the weekend and battle the crowd, but today was my husband's birthday on a random Wednesday, so we decided to give it a go. We got there around lunch time and to our surprise, there was no wait, and we were seated right away inside. There's also seating outside on Park Ave, but that's usually the more popular option so there might have been a short wait for an outdoor table. The inside was more bright & spacious than I remembered. I started with the Spring Spritz (gin, aperol, prosecco, lemon, & strawberry rhubarb jam) and my hubs got a the bananas foster iced latte. Both were super refreshing & tasty. We were both feeling brunch food so he went with the short rib eggs benedict which was incredible, and I got the Gruyère & ham breakfast sandwich with a side of bacon. The sandwich was also very good and it has a crispy hash brown patty on it which adds some extra crunch. Their portions are huge! We even had leftovers. We would have loved to also share something from the griddle which they're really known for here (like their raspberry & Brie French toast), but we were just way too full. The service was also top notch and super quick. We couldn't believe how fast our food came out. They're definitely operating like a well-oiled machine which is necessary for Winter Park's top breakfast/brunch destination. It's pricey for brunch food, though that's to be expected on the Avenue. Overall, we were pleasantly surprised and I'm glad to find it's not just an overhyped spot after all these years. read more

Briarpatch is one of the most popular places to eat in the area, so I had to give it a try. I had only been for the cake before. We made breakfast reservations for 9am on a Friday and are glad we did! It was packed! The service was great and food came out fast. I had the crimini mushroom sandwich and my husband had the French toast. The potatoes were yummy also! Make sure to get here early or come during the week. It's packed! I can say this is one popular place on park Ave that IS worth the hype. They offer indoor and outdoor seating. We loved sitting outdoors. read more

Food is always amazing!!! You can't go wrong with any item on the menu! The pancakes were a table favorite, so I would recommend giving that a try! We went on a Saturday morning so expect a long wait time (no reservations allowed). After about 30+ minutes of waiting outside, we were seated inside since it was so cold out, and the inside is VERY tight. We often felt that we and our chairs were in the way of the wait staff and other customers. But overall the feel inside was cozy and fast paced. read more

I got the raspberry lemon cream pancakes last time I was here and have been thinking about them for almost a year before coming back. This time decided to branch out and get both the BLUE HEAVEN WHEAT & FIBER PANCAKES and raspberry lemon cream pancakes. The raspberry lemon cream pancakes are still the best flavor in my opinion. The balance of tart and sweet is really good and not overwhelming. But texture wise, the wheat fiber pancakes on the Blue Heaven stack are actually better. They're crispier on the outside and hold up better with toppings. If i went again, i would ask if they can do the raspberry lemon cream topping but with the wheat fiber pancakes instead. That would be the best combo. The portions are generous and the space is lively. Still one of my favorite breakfast spots. Service is efficient since this place is so popular. Be prepared to wait since they don't take reservations. Smaller groups get seated faster. read more

This is my favorite brunch spot in Orlando! During this visit, we ordered the fried green tomatoes, blueberry lemon pancakes, and the truffle skirt steak benedict with home fries. The truffle skirt steak benedict was SO GOOD. The hollandaise sauce was super truffly and delicious without being overwhelming. And the home fries were crispy, potatoey, and perfectly salted. I loved dipping them in the hollandaise sauce, it was like eating a bite of a truffle baked potato. This was definitely the standout dish for me. The pancakes were amazing too. They have that perfect griddle crisp on the outside but are still pillowy soft inside. The blueberry pancakes are good, but I prefer the raspberry ones over the blueberry. The fried green tomatoes were just so-so. The slices were cut pretty thick, and I personally prefer them thinner. They also didn't have much flavor or tartness. Service was good. Everything came out in a reasonable time and the staff was friendly and efficient, despite the business. As many other reviews note, it is almost always packed here. That's just a part of the Briarpatch experience. It's lively and energetic, but definitely loud and busy. Tip: Come in the afternoon closer to 3pm if you don't want to wait forever. I've come here around that time on several occasions (even on holidays), and I can find parking right in front and never experienced a wait. read more

Every time my wife and I walk past this restaurant in Winter Park the line is out the door and the outdoor seats are full, so we had to try it.

I 100% get the hype behind Briarpatch. I went on a Sunday so it was fairly packed but the line moved quick. They don't take reservations they just have a single line and call parties as tables open up. The whole vibe and decoration of the restaurant is so cute. The soft scrambled eggs were amazing! Tasted like cacio e Pepe and the biscuit was great. Fried green tomatoes were amazing! I can't wait to go back and try more!! read more

After years of hearing rave reviews I finally stopped with a friend, kind of a year end brunch celebration. Unfortunately our experience did not quite match up with our excitement. We booked a reservation weeks in advance, however upon arriving no staff acknowledged that so I'm not sure it's entirely necessary or helpful. Luckily the line moved fast and it didn't take too long to be seated inside. I was surprised but how far back the seating went! It's a bit cramped but still I love the aesthetic inside. Speed of service was inconsistent, which is understand given how busy they were. But overall service attitude was great and very helpful with suggestions and answers on the menu. Food overall was good, but not as good as hoped given the prices. Nothing particularly wrong, just not memorable. I will say portions were large and i couldn't even finish my plate. We both also ordered coffee, a cappuccino for myself that was as expected. My friend struggled to left a flavored latte as the bitter espresso took over the flavor profile each time. read more

This dining experience was extremely overstimulating so I needed to be brutally honest here. Save your time and money and energy and dine in literally anywhere else. The restaurant is always hustle and bustle, and there is always a line of people lingering both on the inside and outside of the restaurant. The hostesses kept telling us to go from outside to inside back to outside back to inside to wait for a table. We ended up landing a table inside and we were constantly getting bumped into and pushed around due to the line forming in front of our table and people squeezing in to sit at the barstools behind us. I ordered the California Benedict and it was $25. It was very flavorful and delicious and there is nothing bad to say about the food itself here. It was served with potatoes and I asked for the potatoes to include onions. It was delicious. 10/10. Paying over $30 for an eggs Benedict including tip just to be immediately asked to leave upon payment because "there was a line" of people waiting was kind of crazy. I could see if we were staying and chatting for an additional 30 minutes to an hour, then maybe it would be OK to ask us to leave but only a few minutes after tapping our card to pay was insane. The overall ambience and experience of the restaurant is very overstimulating. To conclude, I am just disappointed with this experience and wish we were not asked to leave. read more

Great place for a "dad & daughter" lunch. Cute spot and we got to eat outside!! My daughter had a spicy turkey sandwich that she loved. Tomato bisque was excellent. My burger was perfect and huge! Cooked at med-rare and delicious. The chocolate cake was excellent. Frosting was creamy and not too sweet. Our server was very attentive and friendly. We love this place and will return. read more

Breakfast/brunch options are great, the French toast is massive so it will fill you up without the sides for sure. The space is very cute, but keep in mind that there are a lot of tables in a small space so it is cramped and a little loud inside. I recommend the patio if you're concerned. Services is very quick with a lot of good insight, but it can feel like they're pushing for turnover every now and then. Overall a very nice brunch! read more

I've been to Briarpatch for brunch a number of times over the years, but for Christmas Eve, we went for dinner for the first time. I know they do brunch well, but you never know how venturing into dinner would turn out. Let's just say, we were all very impressed. The restaurant was fairly busy, and the staff seemed on top of every thing. Our server was amazing. Really personable and attentive the whole time. She made helpful suggestions and repeatedly checked on us. The food was also amazing. The truffle fries are a bit pricey, but boy were they delicious. Perfectly crispy with the savory truffle flavor and sprinkled with Parmesan. We also had the Truffle Stake Tartare and Naval Orange and Radicchio salad. The salad was refreshing with a nice light dressing and slices of fresh orange. The tartare was so fresh and flavorful. The lamb ragu was also a popular choice for the table. I opted for the Dry aged prime beef burger. Everything was delicious. I will definitely come back for dinner. read more

I have been here many times over the years but this was the first time as locals after moving here from Atlanta. This is a review of our most recent visit during the holidays and for dinner for the first time. Apparently they have just added this service recently (within a month of our visit) We have never had a bad experience here over the years. Its a great location and a cute little spot. Staff was very kind, friendly, and knowledgeable. We walked right on during ht holidays - no wait. Sat outside and it was a bit chilly for us. I would love to see them add some sort of heating for winter outdoor dining at night. We ordered a burger and the French dip sandwich, as well as two glasses or wine and desert. Both sandwiches were good. I want to try the pasta next time though. The fires where the true star. We almost ordered a second round - that's how good. We got into conversation with our server while they were clearing they accidentally threw out what reminded on our plates that we had asked to be wrapped up to take home (a few bites really - not much but hwen you are moving and you kitchen isn't set up you want all the doggy bags for easy meals) and the manager ended up comping an additional glass of wine each and my whole meal (the French dip) which was so unnecessary and above and beyond but very very kind. It def made a fan of my husband though so we will be back for dinner. This was also the first time we had been here in a few years since the updated interior and it still feels the same just refreshed. I have alsways loved the vbie. Not like most of the other offering in the Winter Park area. Kind of reminds me of spots I used to frequent in New York in college in the 2010s (in the best way) read more

BY FAR SOME OF THE BEST FOOD WE HAD IN FLORIDA! we showed up on a Sunday for brunch after out initial plans for the day got cancelled. We got super lucky and got seated almost immediately after we got in line! The service was great and our server had GREAT suggestions. The location is super nice with plenty of interesting art work and fixtures. The food was truly the star of the show! From the cocktails to the mail course... I had ZERO complaints. We got the short rib eggs benedict and the Banana Pecan Pancakes (can't remember if that's the right name but it was a season item)! The pancakes were cooked to perfection with a great syrup and candied pecans to add a depth of flavor. Putting short rib and hollandaise on a plate of hash browns may be NEXT LEVEL brilliance. I would come here again just for these two items. read more

Briarpatch is a fantastic place to dine. The food is incredible, and the service is top-notch. We often pass by, but it's always packed. We particularly enjoy their eggs Benedicts.

Dinner | The first time we had dinner at Briarpatch, it was a great experience. The Caesar salad was truly the BEST Caesar salad ever. At the time, we had this cheesecake, which was amazing. Everyone at the table was fighting for a piece. The prices were definitely on the higher side. Since we had such a great time the first time, we decided to go again three months later. However, the dishes tasted a bit different. The truffle fries and salmon tartare were still amazing, but the Caesar salad that I loved the first time tasted completely bitter. I'm pretty sure it was the lettuce, but it was inedible, which was a letdown. The burger and fish entrée (I can't remember the name, but it's shown in the picture) were delicious. Unfortunately, they didn't have the cheesecake this time. My family and I weren't as happy as we hoped to be, especially considering how much I hyped up the Caesar salad. However, the service both times was impeccable. Our servers were amazing. read more

We've been to this place so many times in the last 4 years, I can't believe I haven't left a review! I highly recommend getting a reservation even if you don't think it would be busy. Yesterday (Monday/Presidents Day) we went at 10:30am and I was thankful we had reservations as the line had extended out the door and past the building. (Which is common especially on weekends). We both ordered the California Benedict (applewood smoked bacon, roasted cherry tomato, avocado, chip hollandaise, stone-ground heirloom grits or home fries). However I don't eat bacon and the waitress recommended to replace it with Chicken Sausage. Which will now be my go to! This is hands down my favorite local brunch place to eat at. The decor is vibrant and welcoming which spills out their front door to their sitting area where you see bright yellow umbrellas outside. Highly recommend! read more

My friend and I found a video on instagram of the Short Rib Benedict and we knew we had to go to Briarpatch and try it for ourselves. Walking into Briarpatch it was just as busy as usual but our server sat us right away. We sat by the window where it's nice and cozy, a perfect spot to people watch as well. We ordered the Short Rib Benedict as well as the Raspberry & Brie Stuffed French Toast. We split both plates between us two and there was so much food that we could've shared with a third person. The short rib meat on the Benedict was so tender and melted in your mouth. The chipotle hollandaise was just the right amount of heat while adding good flavor. The stuffed French toast is always picture perfect as it is delicious. The Brie and raspberry combination is as classic as peanut butter and jelly, and on top of pillow soft French toast you can't go wrong. Briarpatch always has the best consistency with service with the freshest ingredients. That's why I will continue to be a regular customer. read more

Finally got to try the dinner service and luckily it was just as good as the brunch! We made a later on a Thursday night for 6 but it was almost completely dead. The vibe was elevated with table lighting resembling candles and a smooth instrumental playlist. Our server, Jean-Baptiste was incredible and made amazing recommendations. The menu for food and drinks had lots of great choices and everything came quickly. Some of our favorites included the short ribs, filet, and halibut. The drinks were all tasty and beautifully presented. All the desserts were great but the cheesecake (which seemed to use the same jam as the lemon raspberry cream pancakes) and the tiramisu were especially amazing. We look forward to coming again as there were many items on the menu we didn't get to try that looked great. read more

Arrived here and was shocked to find out there was a line outside to get check in. At first glanced the line appeared very lengthy however it moved pretty quickly. Seemed like the line was mostly made up for parties larger than 2. If your a party of 2 things move quicker then a party of 4. Seating both inside and outside - but we were seated inside (thankfully because it soon rained). Inside is basic decor but tastefully decorated and cute. Our waitress was great giving this place was full! They sat us in the front by the door , not the best seating at all with people going in and out and hovering over you. Definitely did not like the idea of a line right near you inside . Seems like the line starts inside then extends to outside of the sidewalk. Either way, we weren't going to wait longer than our 30mins because we were HUNGRY! We started off with drinks I had the tiki mocktail - excellent but I would order it without ice because the taste quickly changed once the ice started to melt and it was horrible after. My sister order the piña colada and again the same issue . Tasted horrible once the ice melted- other than that it was great with enough of alcohol in it! Now let's get to the food !! Boy oh boy was it great! I ordered the southern breakfast- scrambled eggs , bacon , green tomatoes and homestyle potatoes- it was great all of it ! I ate my entire plate! Plus my very berry pancakes which was the best of the best the mascarpone with jam was a perfect combination! My sister was looking at me in amazement because i definitely ate majority (ok may be more like 90%) of the double stack on my own because it was too good to stop! My sister ordered the bacon and mushroom omelette and she too said it was great. It literally was that good and we both left in a food coma! I'm already making plans to return again!! This will not be the last time for sure!! read more

We stumbled upon this little gem on our way to Mount Dora and only stopped because the place was packed and we all know that's the best sign. Turns out, we were absolutely right. The food? Fantastic. The service? Spot-on. The grits were so good they could win awards (or at least my heart). And the slice of red velvet cake? Let's just say it was big enough to qualify as a weekend companion because it lasted for days! This cozy Winter Park spot is as charming as it is delicious.

I have heard so many wonderful things about Briarpatch and was excited to come here for the first time. We went on a Sunday around 2pm so the wait wasn't too long for a table for 4 people. They had indoor and outdoor seating. We sat inside because it was a hot day. I ordered the nutella waffle, my husband got the very berry french toast, and my kids got chocolate chip pancakes. I was amazed at how big the portion sizes were. We easily took home leftovers for another day. The food was delicious but my husband's french toast came out a little overcooked and it was very sweet for him. Maybe the combination of the sweet berries, syrup, and mascarpone was a bit much. Overall it was a nice place and I would definitely come back and try other options on the menu. read more

Started my "me weekend" off with brunch here. I was warmly and promptly greeted by the host, seated right away, and handed a menu. The service from start to finish was amazing. I ordered the Southwest Omelette, which came stuffed with chorizo sausage, cheese, beans, and avocado. It was flavorful, though a bit too heavy on the cheese for my taste. I also tried the waffle, it was fluffy but I was hoping for a little more crispiness around the edges. Surprisingly, the biscuit stole the show, I didn't eat it until later, but it was absolutely delicious, next time, I'll skip the waffle and go straight for the biscuit! The atmosphere was really fun and welcoming perfect for kicking off a relaxing weekend. read more

For our next Orlando adventure, we were taken to The Briar Patch for brunch. Since it was nice outside, that's where we decided to eat. Our server, Juliana, welcomed and informed us about some of the menu choices. I went with the Spinach, Goat Cheese, and Sausage Omelet. OMG! The omelet was cooked perfectly, light and fluffy the spinach and goat cheese gave it just the right amount of tang, and went so well with my wife's Banana Pecan Pancakes. These were among the very best pancakes I have ever had, and a big plus is that they were hot and stayed hot! Thai Banana Syrup was so flavorful. My wife's son had the traditional Eggs Benedict, and judging by the way he inhaled it, it had to be good. He also ordered a side of two sausage patties, which looked great. His wife got the Southern Breakfast, which consisted of eggs, bacon, cheesy grits, and a fried green tomato. She raved about it. Juliana kept our coffee and water refilled so o didn't have to try and find her. This place is located on Park Avenue in Winter Park, which has several restaurants. However, if you love brunch, this is the place to try. Your mouth will love you. read more

Short, sweet, and to the point Briarpatch is 1000% worth the hype.

Food: For the most part, the food was good. I liked everything on the Southern breakfast. They are serving the food so fast that I don't feel my waffle was cooked all the way so I took two bites and gave up. The pancake was cooked but too doughy for me. My husband thought it was good though. The cheesy grits.. I liked it but my husband thought it was tooo cheesy. The bacon had the perfect crisp and taste. The eggs were perfect with the right amount of fluff. Service: For a small party, we didn't have to wait at all so that was great. They were super nice and helpful for newcomers. They kept up with waters and seeing how we were doing. Like I stated, they were quick with the food but just need to make sure the food is completely cooked. Ambiance: it's a small space so if you get there late, you will probably have to wait. They have indoors and outdoors (using the front and trying to avoid path way). Cute little place. read more
