This place needs no introduction cause it is awesome! The food is amazingly good, the service is timely and the atmosphere is energetic!

It was quite busy for a Tuesday morning. Ordered the Southern Breakfast and the Pecan Brioche Sticky Bun which were more than enough for two people. Service was quick and the food was delicious. I especially enjoyed the fried green tomatoes with the jalapeño sour cream. read more

Briarpatch Restaurant - Pecan Brioche Sticky Bun and Southern Breakfast - American Near Me - Winter Park, Florida

Briarpatch in Winter Park is always a go-to for brunch, and it definitely lived up to the hype. The atmosphere is lively and a bit bustling, but it adds to the charm, especially if you enjoy a more energetic brunch scene. Service was efficient and friendly, even with how busy it was. The eggs Benedict were perfectly done with rich, velvety hollandaise and nicely poached eggs, and the Bloody Mary had just the right kick without being overpowering. Everything tasted fresh and well-executed, which made the wait worth it. It's a solid spot I'd come back to anytime I'm in the area. read more

First time here on Sunday for brunch, the line was long however we were sat pretty fast. There's tables outside and inside is sort of small and loud but service was quick and our server was so helpful and honest with his suggestions. My pancakes with Nutella and strawberries were just what I needed :) read more

Briarpatch truly knows its craft when it comes to food. The taste, the quality, and above all the presentation are exquisite you can tell there's real passion in that kitchen. Every plate comes out looking like a little piece of art, and the flavors absolutely match the beauty.The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the experience at the entrance. I understand it's a very busy and popular establishment (for good reason), but the attitude from the host felt unnecessarily dismissive. I was skipped four different times, with people being seated ahead of me, even after my guest arrived. No apology, no acknowledgment, just a cold "you have to wait," which made the whole situation uncomfortable. A little courtesy goes a long way especially in a place that clearly puts so much love into its food. I'm mentioning this in hopes it brings awareness, because with just a bit more attentiveness and professionalism at the host stand, this restaurant would easily be a solid 5-star experience read more

Fun breakfast / lunch spot in the downtown area. The line to be seated moved quickly and our server was happy and helpful. Food was delicious - especially the quiche, breakfast potatoes, tomato soup and carrot cake. Definitely recommend! read more

I was getting coffee at Lineage coffee shop and the staff said this was the best breakfast/lunch in town. It was super busy Sunday at 1. I sat down at a bar seat right away. I had a burger and a Bloody Mary. The burger had a house made bacon jam, jalapeño and aged cheddar. It was the best burger I have had in a long time. Service was excellent under the circumstances. Bloody Mary was good approaching great. I definitely recommend eating a burger here. They are not playing around. read more

Rice Bowl was flavorful with a good combination of spices and balance. It comes with poached eggs but I substituted it for sunny side up. Tasty and not too heavy. Food was surprisingly very fast, so fast that I still didn't have water by the time by good came out read more

Loved this place! I made a reservation so didn't have to wait in the long line outside. Was sat quickly. Server was amazing (Jean Paul) I believe. We ordered the berry French toast and the California Benedict. I could eat the Benedict every day!!! Atmosphere is great, feels like a busy nyc cafe. Was impressed on how fast they get everything done. Definitely high volume restaurant. read more

The restaurant was very crowded and the environment was fairly loud. My friend and I walked by thinking after a couple of hours, however they were still packed. I am so glad we decided to sit down as we would have missed out on the unique food and fantastic service. I had their brisket burger and my friend had their French toast. Both were delicious and well presented. If you can get past the loud and close environment, this is a great place to visit! read more

Now that's how you do a brunch weekend in Orlando. I headed up for a surprise birthday party for my cousin, and as part of the distraction squad, me and my girl had the very important task of keeping her busy while the setup was happening. I had heard whispers (and more than a few raves) about The Briarpatch on Park Ave, so we took a quick ride over to check it out. Parking was not easy. We lucked out and found a spot a few stores down on the street. Considering what I had heard about the wait times at this place, I was bracing myself, but to my surprise, we were seated almost immediately. Win. From the moment we sat down, our server Mark took great care of us. Super friendly, knowledgeable, and walked us through the menu and specials like a pro. Here's what we ordered: I got the Pork Belly Waffle. My cousin went with the SEC Sandwich. My girl had the Raspberry and Brie French Toast with a side of bacon. Before we even picked up our forks, the aroma hit us. Sweet, savory, a little bit of maple in the air. And you already know we had to have a quick photoshoot before digging in. Now onto the food. My pork belly waffle was solid. Good flavors, good texture, but not quite something I would rave about. The French toast was absolutely delightful, rich, creamy, and perfectly balanced between sweet and tangy. But the star of the table was the SEC sandwich. It was so good, I only got the tiniest bite, but it left an impression. I already knew I would be back for it. And I did just that. TLDR: We went back the next day. This time, there was a wait. The legend is real. But it was worth it. I got the SEC sandwich as promised, and it delivered. We even had Mark as our server again, and he was just as attentive and consistent the second time around. Briarpatch is easily one of the best brunch spots in Orlando. Whether you are planning a cozy date, a post night out hangover cure, or catching up with friends, this place just works. I will absolutely be back again. read more

This restaurant is excellent in every way. Everything on the menu is delicious. The restaurant staff tries their best to provide good service and quality food. The only issue - they are busy and crowded and perhaps a little expensive. Probably our favorite restaurant in Winter Park read more

So came here for brunch on a Saturday around 3pm. This is a good time to eat here because it has more seating available especially inside. Outdoor seating is nice especially people watching but it is HOT during this time. It was a bunch of us women having a brunch date. We were seated within 15-20 mins after arrival with no rsvp. We were seated inside. They gave us 3 menus. 1 for Brunch Special, 1 for drink menu and 1 for the main food menu. We all ordered an array of foods from Eggs Benedict, Fruit topped pancakes, Peach / Strawberry Waffle, A California style Chicken Sandwich with fries and an omelet with spinach with a biscuit and grits. Drinks were a Banana Cold Brew with Foam, A Iced Coffee and a special drink that one of the ladies ordered which look citrusy because of the yellow tint when it was served. Everyone was pleased with their foods. Good Portions. My Peach / Strawberry Waffle had roasted peach slices with cut up strawberries and I think walnuts or pecan sprinkles with whipped cream on top of the waffle. The waffle was tender soft with the flavors of butter. It was delicious. I could not finish all the serving so I had packed it to go. The banana cold brew was disappointing - I did not taste the banana syrup they apparently placed onto the drink. The coffee was def strong though. Ambiance here is always busy unless you come here about 3pm ish then the crowds dies. My company enjoyed their time here and loved the food, Briarpatch is always will be my top 3 brunch eats here in Orlando. read more

Food is always good but heavy, they are not great with modifications and there's always a long way on the weekends.

My family loved our breakfast! Worth the wait!! This restaurant is special because the menu offers variety in breakfast and lunch. Sweeet meeting savory in a chefs kiss way not your grandmother's kitchen. The presentation on all the dishes we saw including ours looked delicious to eat and great potion sizes. This restaurant is very busy on weekend so the smaller the party the quicker you will be seated. Inside of the restaurant is a little tight but we enjoyed ourselves. Our waitress was nice and professional. I loved everything and look forward to coming back! It is pricey so don't be shy to spend if you go by :) read more

The food was amazing and the wait was only 15 minutes. We did go on a Wednesday morning.

Briarpatch was amazing for brunch! Thus a cute spot that is great for any occasion. Neat and clean! My food was fresh and piping hot -- just the way it should be! The pancakes were light, fluffy, and full of flavor, served with fresh fruit, lemon curd, and blueberries on the side. We also had fried green tomatoes and... OMG -- aaasamazing! My husband had egg whites with avocado and bacon, and both of us left with happy, smiling tummies! Our server, Gerald, was wonderful -- he even shared the restaurant's history: family-owned since 1980, with the founder's son now carrying the torch as chef and maintaining their tradition of food excellence. My only regret? I couldn't finish all my food -- my eyes were bigger than my stomach! We'll definitely be back. I'm already looking forward to our next visit! read more

While attending the annual Winter Park Street Art Festival we set our sights on breakfast at Briarpatch. The line to be seated was long but the wait not so much. This staff was well prepared for keeping pace with the business and the level of service exceeded expectations. We ordered a delicious pecan sticky bun with a side of applewood bacon, coffee and the Southern Breakfast that included eggs cooked to order, applewood bacon, stoned ground cheesy grits and the star of the plate fried green tomatoes with jalapeño sour cream and a small sweet orange juice. The food was extraordinary with emphasis on the exceptional warm gooey sticky bun and perfectly fried green tomatoes. Our server revisited our table multiple times making sure our experience met our expectations. When in Winter Park this restaurant is definitely a star in the arena of great local restaurants. read more

Went for breakfast, very loud if you sit inside. Sit outside if you want a more enjoyable experience (away from the large group tables). Had the Southern Breakfast and it comes with a yummy jalapeño sour cream for the fried green tomatoes. House coffee is very bold. Get it cut in half if you want something milder. read more

Quite busy for a Tuesday morning but was seated immediately once we walked in. Ordered a "Rise & Shine" which is their version of an espresso martini. Also ordered avocado toast but with smoked salmon and egg was extra however it was really delicious. The seating was kind of packed but overall enjoyed the place. I've been here before but haven't been there in awhile. I would come back for sure. read more

Only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is because of the outrageous prices. The food itself was delicious, the cremini mushroom sandwich was phenomenal but skip the grits they weren't that good. The burger was a very large portion, but they don't cook above medium, it was still extremely pink and it was $30. I would also skip the iced latte too, it was $11 and I only drank half because it wasn't good either. Other than that, everything was nice. Although it was very crowded the service was great and it wasn't too loud inside either. read more

Briarpatch in Winter Park offers a cozy, welcoming atmosphere perfect for a relaxed breakfast or brunch. I tried their French Toast, and it was fantastic--crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and perfectly soaked in a rich custard batter. Topped with fresh fruit and a dusting of powdered sugar, it was a balanced mix of sweet, savory, and refreshing flavors. Video Review will be posted on Tik Tok and Instagram soon @Foxyappetite In depth review: In terms of service, Briarpatch is known for its friendly and attentive staff. The team was quick to seat me, and my server made sure I had everything I needed throughout the meal without being intrusive. The restaurant tends to get busy, especially on weekends, but the wait times are generally reasonable, and the food is definitely worth it. One thing to consider is that, as with many popular spots, the prices are on the higher side, especially for breakfast options. However, given the quality of the food and the experience overall, I think it's worth the splurge for a special outing. Overall, Briarpatch offers a great combination of delicious food, excellent service, and a warm, inviting atmosphere. If you're in the Winter Park area and craving a tasty brunch or breakfast, I highly recommend trying their French Toast--it's a standout on the menu. read more

We went here at 8:00 a.m. right when they opened, because we heard it was a popular brunch spot. We had a party of 12 and they were very accommodating by getting us two tables right next to each other. All the food was very delicious. I ordered the pork belly waffle and had a bite of everyone else's food as well. The portions are nice and hefty. Definitely no complaints! The espresso martini was very delicious; I would say the best one I've had ever. But at $17, it's a little on the pricer side. The same with the entrees; they were all in the upper $20 or lower $30 range. The service was amazing and the place was very cute and small with some patio seating available. I would recommend trying if you haven't been before! read more

I had the House Turkey & Bacon sandwich. It was amazing. My family also loved their meals. The zucchini bread with cream cheese was so amazing, I got an order to take home for my husband. The service Johnathon provided was top notch. My only complaint as that I was sitting right behind the outside door and it squeaked terribly every time people came in and out which was quiet disruptive. I did mention that to Johnathon, and he immediately went looking for WD 40! I would definitely recommend this place and ask for him. read more

I think there's a lot of hype for this restaurant and I don't get it. It's good but it's not AMAZING. It's pretty high priced for food you can get elsewhere. The wait is always insane and they really pack everyone inside. The service is typically iffy because they are all so busy. If you can catch them at a good time, great, but there are other places in WP to go to. read more

NO BAD CHOICES. Despite the chaos and delay in seating our large party, the chefs in the back did their thing. Hot food, delivered exactly as ordered and fast. The entrees are large (shareable) and every dish was full of flavor. The alcoholic beverages were certainly the cherry on top. Definitely the restaurant to explore a menu item you've never had before. Lots of great food to feed your appetite and lots of eye gazes across every table, because every dish looked amazing!! Try this spot if you haven't already, visit often and enjoy. You won't be disappointed. read more

Good service, good food, healthy portions. I ordered the canadian bacon eggs benedict and my boyfriend got the truffle burger with the prime beef patty. I will say my eggs benedict was one of the better ones I have had in a while. The hollandaise was silky and tasted great, eggs were poached nicely and the muffin was not hard or soggy like you get at some places. The potatoes that come with are crispy on the outside and not dry - definitely liked! read more

Our waitress was very attentive & consistently checked on me to make sure I was OK while I was waiting for the other guest. They provide large portions and the food is tasty. I can say that I didn't really like sitting in the middle of the restaurant. It felt a bit cramped in there but that is probably typical for a brunch spot. I wish I would've gotten a slice of cake because those were massive and looked too good. read more

Fabulous in every way!!! Breakfasts are delicious and fresh! Nice server too! Warning! You'll overeat!

This iconic restaurant located in Winter Park in the Orlando area is very popular for breakfast and brunch. We waited in line for about 20 minutes and seated on the front outdoor patio since it was available. I would have preferred the cute inside but it might have been much longer. I had the Waffle with pecans $17.50. I was a little disappointed in the taste but especially after having a bite of the pancakes which were so delicious. They did not bring out butter which the waffle needed since it tasted dry. I also had to request more syrup. Everyone enjoyed their brunch. The service was good. read more

I got the California Benedict and Fried Green Tomatoes. It was my first time having an eggs Benedict and I wasn't disappointed. It was filling and super flavorful. It came with the best cherry tomatoes I ever had. The fried green tomatoes were great and the green sauce was AMAZING. The service was quick and our waiter, JB was very nice. The seats were comfortable and the place was clean. read more

I really enjoyed my first visit here and I'm happy I got a decent experience since I've heard so many good things about it. Our server was friendly and the place is very cute but super small for how many people try to eat here at once! The food was delicious. I got their seasonly lemon blueberry pancakes which is everything I hoped it would be. The fried green tomatoes were surprisingly better than expected but the sauce is what really made it good. My only issue is how much my total was. I understand that this is supposed to be higher end but my total came out to around $50 with tip. Which btw the minimum tip is 20% when it gives you the options... whatever happened to 15% and 18%?? It's honestly not that big of an issue I just didn't expect to spend so much on brunch when alcohol or any speciality drinks weren't purchased. I would return again for a special occasion since I did enjoy my food and the service was good. I just highly recommend getting something you can't or won't make at home because otherwise you may be disappointed. read more

The ambiance I would say not upsale but not full blown casual We came on a Monday morning and was seated right away but they were busy it was a constant revolving door. The service was great she was on top of everything, not sure of her name as she never mentioned it but so nice and with suggestions as well as it was my first time here. The food everything sounded amazing and it tasted amazing as well. We started off with the fried green tomatoes with a jalapeno Cream sauce which had amazing flavor and the sauce not too spicy. I had gotten the goat cheese spinach and sausage omelette which was packed with ingredients and sausage that you can see. It came with a side of potatoes and choice of biscuit, bread or English muffin. The person I was with had gotten the mushroom bacon and cheese omelette and same it was packed full. Could only eat half of the omelettes. It is pricey but realistically you could share one meal. Will definitely be back as there was a lot of items on the menu I wanted to try read more

Briarpatch is my husband's (a breakfast lover) favorite brunch/breakfast spot in Orlando area. I'm not big on breakfast, but it's in my top 5 restaurants in general - the burgers are yummy, the soft scramble eggs are delish, the cinnamon roll (if you happen to get your hands on one over the weekend.. off menu BTW) are 10 outta 10. The Breakfast Torta Sandwich is the BEST SANDWICH on the menu bar none. The wait is typically tolerable, under 15 minutes for fewer than 5 guests even when there appears to be a line. One time I stood outside while my hubby got in line and the server would not seat him until I came in... not a big deal, but we ended up having to wait ten minutes simply because I did not want to be a part of the crowd blocking the door. I think the staff get to get away with being just decent in general because the food is so good. I always think the inside of the restaurant smells like there is an undertone of just cleaned up puke, though that may be a me thing , I prefer to be outside if the weather is decent. read more

Always a wait and a line for brunch, but always incredibly satisfying food. The space is small and a little tight, prices are what you'd expect for being on Park Ave, but I keep coming back because of the food! Everything shared in the pictures did not disappoint - the textures are just what you'd expect from each item and flavors are rich in the right way. Definitely recommend checking out if you haven't been here! They have indoor and outdoor seating and there's a garage as well as street parking. read more
