Short rib Benedict
Anna L.

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.

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.

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.

Skirt steak benedict and home fries
Marina C.

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.

The Briarpatch is a go to for brunch in Winter Park. During my recent visit I had a salmon scramble with a margarita and I really enjoyed my meal. It was a busy day and but the server was nice and attentive. Even with the crowd, the restaurant was comfortable and we were able to enjoy our time without feeling rushed. I will definitely continue to frequent this restaurant.

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. The short rib Benedict was amazing- they gave so much prime rib! My wife's bacon and mushroom omelet was also so good! Honestly everything coming out of that kitchen looked great. Make reservations cause this place is popular for a good reason.

Fried Green Tomatoes  truffle fries
Meghan M.

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!!

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.

California Benedict
Angelina E.

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.

Chocolate cake
Gordon S.

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.

On my current quest to expand my restaurant horizons (and chase the high of an unforgettable…read moreTurkish meal I had in the UK), this downtown Winter Park spot casually blew me away. First off, you walk in and to your left there's a bar that already sets the tone. We were greeted by Kevin--yes, I'm naming names because when service is that good, it deserves recognition. The man knew the menu, gave solid recommendations, and made the whole experience feel effortless. 10/10, no notes. We kicked things off with the hummus, which came with this massive, pillowy bubble bread that was equal parts dramatic and delicious. Then... fried feta sticks. I don't even have the proper words--just know they were dangerously good. And now, the main event: Turkish pizza. Absolutely loaded with lamb, served with fresh toppings on the side, and a sauce that I'm convinced I would drink if socially acceptable. Bold, flavorful, and honestly the kind of dish that makes you pause mid-bite just to process your life choices (in a good way). Between the vibrant atmosphere, standout service, and food that actually lives up to the hype, this place understood the assignment. Safe to say I'll be back... probably for that pizza alone.

Been dying to try this and I'm so glad I finally did! We made a reservation for a Saturday night…read moredinner. It is a very lively atmosphere inside, with guest chatter and warm lighting taking over the space beautifully. There are a few tables outside as well. Our server was prompt and helpful. We ordered the lavas and the appetizer sampler. Definitely recommend! My fiance and I split the mix grill for two. We figured it was the best way to try all the different items at a decent price. Our favorites by far were the lamb & chicken sis kebaps.
