    If Hallmark made a brunch movie, it would be filmed at BTW in Tavares--especially at Christmas. We went for Sunday brunch during the holidays, and this place was decked out floor to ceiling like Santa personally said, "Needs more décor." The food? Absolute holiday magic. The eggnog French toast tasted like Christmas morning in carb form, the banana foster waffle with candied pecans was indulgent in all the right ways, and the French toast with blueberry compote and lemon curd was the perfect sweet-tangy mic drop. Every bite was better than the last. The staff was friendly, attentive, and moved with the cheerful efficiency of elves who've had just the right amount of coffee. Fair warning: it's a small spot and they don't take reservations, so we showed up about 30 minutes before they opened at noon--and it was 100% worth it. Come hungry, come early, and come ready to leave very full and very happy. BTW has officially earned a spot on our "must-return" list--Santa approved.

    It was my first time dining at this restaurant. It did not disappoint! I had a seasonal waffle, which was delicious all the flavors complemented each other. The real highlight is the bar next-door. They do themes for every season. The Halloween theme is amazing every single inch of the lounge is decorated. Servers are friendly and check on you, food served in a reasonable time. Garlic aioli is top notch

    Came here for dinner with a friend. Always love the tacos. The menu has the perfect amount of options. Our waiter was great, he came and checked in us a lot and we always had full waters. Food came out hot and looking perfect. It was the Miracle on Main Street Christmas theme when we came which is so bright and festive, it all looks beautiful! The holiday drinks are expensive, $17 plus, mocktails are $14. Pricey for the drinks and some food but it's worth it!!

    Just needed to grab lunch before a meeting and saw this place. Cute little place with a view of the lake. It is a counter service restaurant and they bring the food out after you order. They have a decent selection on the menu. I opted for a burger and it did not disappoint. The burger was cooked to perfection. Juicy and seasoned perfect. Absolutely one of the best burgers I have ever had. It is a little pricey but in my opinion definitely worth it.

    First time visiting BTW and I can't wait to go back! First off, the decor and vibes of the place is super cute! We ordered our meal from Wondrous Will and he was fantastic! The menu is very extensive with many delicious combinations of flavors and funny quirky names. I had the taco duo (trailer park & barbacoa pork), my bf had the mutha clucka churger. The others in our group had a variety of burgers and tenders. The star of the show was the street corn!! So yummy! The sodas were glass bottles which always taste better than from a can. Even the bathroom was cute filled with quiet signs on the walls. Would definitely recommend BTW!

    Don't sleep on BTW - this place's food, service and atmosphere is all 5 stars! Trina was the main waitress we saw and each time she interacted she was so exceptional and kind! The chicken and waffles (winner winner) were so good and flavorful - the chicken perfectly seasoned with the right amount of crunch but not too much breading. The banana nut waffles reminded you of the flavors of banana bread - super good! The mission impossible burger was recommended by Trina and I got it with a regular beef patty - full of flavor, very well seasoned, and the mushrooms were marinaded with balsamic vinaigrette which really enchanted the burger further. I can't wait to come back and bring others here, it was really a great place to eat!

    This is my first time to Tavares and we are glad we chose BTW for lunch. Service we great. You order inside and the food is brought to you. Multiple servers came by to fill up drinks and check on us. I got the poutine burgers. It was huge! The poutine had great beef flavor and was not over-salted. The street corn was packed with sauce and cheese! The southern burger was juicy and packed with cheese pimento cheese. I also got the sangria on tap and it was delicious. We sat outside and you can watch the boats on the water. It was a really lovely experience.

    Taco Trio

    I've been here four times in the last few years and every time it's been absolutely phenomenal. One of my favorite places in the greater Orlando area - we always stop here on our way back from visiting the natural springs up North. You really can't go wrong with the menu - it's fun, playful, unique, and has a ton of flavor! I think the tacos are my favorite thing I've tried. I've tried the trailer trash, the buffalo chicken, and the barbacoa. The tacos are HUGE and I love the three taco option where you can try different flavors. The buffalo chicken and the barbacoa are the best imo, especially the barbacoa! It's spicy and delicious. Today I got the current special, the caprese clucker - a chicken sandwich with mozzarella, tomato, an aioli, and basil. It was delightful, and the chicken was huge! I also got a side of truffle fries with truffle aioli which might just be my favorite thing I've ordered here. I can't wait to come back and get them again!

    Small plates. I swear there's a burger under there!

This location was suggested as they have an enclosed patio to avoid bugs, and it worked out great! The staff were remarkable and even brought an iced water for the dog without even asking! Appreciate that extra touch. What We Ordered: ~ Dockside Scallops (Appetizer): cooked beautifully, and paired with a sauce that complimented the scallops. Loved the citrus for acidity, while having the sweet chili for some spice. I can see this being delicious with rice and a vegetable for an entree, which they also offer. ~ The Big Cheese Burger (sub Cheddar versus American Cheese): Very delicious and a great price point for $15! Definitely left us satisfied as we cut in half to share the scallops as well. ~ Jumper Juice: only $5 all day, every day? Why not try! Though, I'm a vodka fan so this was not my liquor of choice. Still a very refreshing drink that I'm sure many would enjoy. ~ Coke: A classic for a burger, and tasted great on a hot, humid Florida day. Definitely a place I'd return when visiting in the area, and I can see trying the scallop entree or even getting a burger again. Great food, friendly service, and spacious location.

Asked for a water immediately, and set my things down before going to the restroom... which was clean, easy to find, and well stocked, so zero issues there! Hehehe..... When I returned, I had a water and the bar menu as well as the lunch menu waiting for me. I ended up getting the Crooked Can/Frog and Monkey collaboration IPA, which was lovely. I ordered the turkey and brie sandwich, because reading it on the menu outside was what had originally drawn me into the restaurant, and a cup of the French Onion soup rather than getting the fries that came with. The soup was up first, and it was delightful- nice, hardy chunks of onion without being too big/sliding off my spoon, a well developed broth, and a fantastic amount of cheese. The sandwich was lovely, great slices of turkey and decently sized pieces of brie and apple to go along with it. Unfortunately, when I went to get the second half of my sandwich, I noticed what looked like a dark beard hair on it.... as I was dining alone, and my long hair was tied up, definitely not mine. I called over my server, and I pointed it out to her... she asked if I wanted to have a new sammie or get it taken off the bill. I asked if I could pay for the soup, since I had finished it, but not the sammie and she absolutely agreed to that. I wrapped up my meal and left to keep going on my day. Everywhere has issues occasionally, but this was handled well, so I will mention it, and I do knock off a star for this visit, but I am still willing to try again if I am in the area.
