    Southwest Omelette

    We can't come here and not get the short rib Benedict it's just so delicious. Briarpatch never disappoints, the service is great and the food is amazing. It gets a little tight in there as they really pack people in but it's so worth it.

    Short Rib Benedict with pancakes and fruit
    Megan V.

    Briarpatch is one of my fav brunch spots and it never disappoints. Today we opted to sit outside on the patio. The server was super nice and got our food to us pretty fast. Our Peach Bellini's tasted great and for our entree we ordered the Short Rib Benedict with a side on Pancakes with fresh Fruit. The short rib was so tender and flavorful and the pancakes were light and fluffy, a perfect combo of sweet and salty. As always great service and food, and because of that I'll always come back.

    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!

    Had a tasty lunch here earlier this week and it was the first time I had their burger. My friend ordered the two patties on her burger and I got the single patty. I have to say the single patty was better than the two. A lot juicier and richer in flavor in my opinion. I inhaled the fries. I also drank a banana bread latte and that was super tasty! The server said that it was on the sweet side but I found it very balanced and not too sweet at all. This was my first time not getting breakfast and I was pleasantly surprised. The burgers are actually quite large so shareable if you're not super hungry. Outdoor dining was great. Service was great as well.

    Short rib Benedict

    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.

    Blueberry lemon cream pancakes
    Bill S.

    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.

    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.

    Southern breakfast
    Addessa J.

    This highly recommended and we were pleased. We ordered Southern breakfast - grits was really good . Steak eggs - eggs and steak taste delicious and high quality proteins. And Very berry french toast - OMG moist , sweet and so delicious my favorite item . I can back for another visit on this French toast. I was also told you can split this half portion but it's almost the same price . Our waitress was attentive and recommended some options to us as well. The ambiance is a nice chill spot . You are able to have conversation just know you will be waiting in line to be seated . For reservations please booked week or two weeks out if are going to visit this restaurant.

    Tuna melt
    Meghan M.

    love the Briarpatch! Came back for lunch and got the tuna melt special. It was good! A little bit heavy on the lemon but overall a great meal! My sisters got the burgers and loved it! Service was great and quick and the vibe is unmatched! Such a staple.

    Raspberry and Brie Stuffed Brioche French Toast
    Chloe T.

    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.

    Traditional Eggs Benedict with home fries
    Ally Y.

    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.

    Blue Heaven Wheat and Fiber Pancakes
    Stephanie C.

    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.

    My family visited Sourdough Bread House for the first time on a Sunday for brunch with a friend…read more(there were 4 of us). When we walked in, the restaurant was just starting to get busier and the staff seemed slightly unprepared for an influx of guests at that time. We stood at the door for a bit, unsure whether we were supposed to be seated, seat ourselves, or order at the counter first. If you are dining in, then they will provide table service. Once seated, we quickly decided what we wanted to order. My friend was excited to try their Turkish coffee and I was looking forward to trying their Turkish breakfast that I had heard great things about. If you love a good snack plate and enjoy nibbling on a variety of cheese, bread, fruits, veggies, etc. then the Turkish breakfast will be right up your alley. The Turkish breakfast includes cucumbers, tomatoes, bell peppers, a cheese plate with avocado and a fried egg, tahini and molasses, jam, Nutella, local honey, fresh fruit, apricot and walnuts, olives, zahter, ezme, butter, and kaymak. It was enough food for my husband & me to share. It's also served with one glass of Turkish tea and a basket sourdough bread. They're obviously known for their fresh baked sourdough bread and it did not disappoint. I can see why their bread is so popular and it was nearly already sold out for the day. While everyone we encountered was very friendly, the service was a little spotty, and no one ever came back to check on us once the food came. They forgot to bring the tea and Turkish coffee for my friend. Once we walked up to the counter to remind them, they brought it very quickly. No one ever came with the check, so we ended up paying at the counter. Not sure if that's the normal process, but it was unclear. Overall, we did enjoy it, but maybe it was just an off day from a service stand point.

For our entree, I had the Lamb Sis Kebap which I shared with my mom and had enough to take home for lunch the next day. This was a big portion.

    Our order: chicken şiş, lentil soup, appetizer platter…read more The Review: It must be noted that their happy hour includes 50% off cocktails. They might not contain the highest quality of alcohol but...fun girls' night (hehe). We started off with their mixed appetizer platter (can't remember the exact name) which was so worth it for the opportunity to try all of the dips! They are able to modify this platter to make it gluten free, and it turned out so well. The real star of the show was the chicken, which was perfectly seasoned and grilled, I can't get over it. The lentil soup was also good but it didn't come out hot, which was not amazing, so we had to ask for it to be heated. GF people note: the rice contains wheat noodles so it is not GF. However, they told us that the grape leaves, which are filled with rice, are actually gluten-free. The staff were so warm and accommodating, and we loved our experience here. Thanks, Bosphorous!
