Shakers is the kind of neighborhood diner that makes you wonder how you didn't find it sooner. The…read moreplace is full of personality, with salt and pepper shakers covering the walls and little details everywhere you look. It's charming without trying too hard. My biggest piece of advice: don't forget the griddled blueberry muffin. I somehow missed it when we ordered, realized my mistake, and immediately put in a second order. It was absolutely worth it. The biscuit was just as good, huge, fluffy, and basically a meal by itself. The food across the board was exactly what I wanted from a spot like this. The avocado, bacon, and tomato omelet was excellent. I don't usually love tomato, but it added just enough brightness to make the whole thing work. The eggs, grits, and chicken and waffles were all solid in the best possible way. Nothing here is trying to be trendy or overcomplicated. It's just really good diner food served in a place with a ton of character. I'll definitely be back, and next time I'm ordering the muffin first.

We ordered the scrambled and maple egg sandwiches and fresh squeezed orange juice. Everything was made fresh and the attention to every ingredient was amazing and delicious. We ordered the scrambled sandwich again because it was that good, and they were consistent with the quality and delivery. The staff were accommodating and friendly and it seems like they enjoyed their work environment. The restaurant is located in a "food court" style venue so there were other spots to check out if breakfast sandwiches are not your thing. The sandwiches were a hit pricey, but I think it's worth checking out!

I enjoy Eggdose quite a bit. Now, I've only had their sides and never any of their more…read moreentree-based breakfast/lunch items. However, based on my experiences with what I typically order, I am sure I'd enjoy more of their menu. Speaking of menu, my go-to is their Maple Sticks and Home Fries. I almost exclusively order these two items because I am a creature of habit. Their maple sticks are just lovely - though I do wish they'd give a bit more syrup. I am a heavy dunker, and that limited container of syrup is usually not enough. So, I usually have to request more. The home fries are very tasty. I usually get the sauces on the side and dip as pleased. Pricing, since I really only get the sides, is very reasonable. However, from what I've seen of their wider menu, pricing is standard pending what it is you are ordering. Beyond that, the staff is kind. The service is usually pretty good - even when they are busier. This particular location is located in City Food Hall in Ivanhoe Village. It is truly one of my favorite spots in City Food Hall. Parking is always a challenge in Ivanhoe Village. So, keep in mind you'll have to find street parking or park in the paid garage. There is ample seating indoors and outdoors.

What I Enjoyed: - I'm Not Throwing Away My Shot (Hamilton Menu): This scone was on the Hamilton Menu, which I thought was neat as a I'm a theater nerd. My boyfriend said he enjoyed it as it was not too sweet. The ingredients (white chocolate, raspberry, and blueberry) paired well together, and if we were local, he'd get again. - Oatmeal Cream Pie: This was STUNNING. Yes, all caps needed. I think this was one of my favorite baked goods since my cousin stopped her bakery stand selling the best oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. I hope this is both a staple item, and we visit Orlando soon to get one! Yum! - se7en Benedict: Loved the biscuits as it tasted like a true southern biscuit. Loved the cheddar chive grits that I shared with my boyfriend who also enjoyed. I'd definitely order again! Definitely check out this place if you are in Orlando!

You also only get 1 biscuit, a slice of bacon and 1 egg. These were baked/cooked well but should get at least 2 eggs with bacon atop the halves of a biscuit for the price. This normally comes with grits but I subbed for a salad which was fresh and had a delicious dressing. 3 stars for the food. The restaurant is very cool and has a fantastic looking bakery section. I didn't get to try any of the treats but I do plan to come back to try another menu item and will save room for dessert. Service is so friendly and top notch. Addl star given for the crew.

I have been eating at the Briarpatch Restaurant for over 40 years and have totally enjoyed the chunky chicken salad. But this time, the salad was not chunky it was a typical shredded chicken salad with too much pepper - not the traditional chicken salad I have had over the past 40 years. Ownership needs to do something about this.

The Briarpatch is definitely my favorite place in Central Florida for brunch!…read more Something to keep in mind for my visitors from out of town-- on the weekends, parking and lines can be pretty crazy. Briarpatch doesn't take reservations for brunch, but don't worry. I truly have never seen a walk-in line move so quickly! With a line out the door, and even sometimes around the corner, I have never waited more than 20 minutes for a table. Their staff is quick and efficient. Inside, it truly feels like a diner in NYC! There is plenty of patio seating as well, so I know I will be taking advantage of that when the weather cools down here in Florida! Looking for something savory? The short rib benedict is PHENOMENAL!!! Such a creative take on a classic eggs benedict; and packed with flavor. Sweet? The raspberry & brie french toast is my favorite thing on the menu. It is thick cut brioche bread stuffed with raspberry jam & brie cheese. I usually come with a friend, we get one of each of those entrees, and split it! I can never decide!! Keep in mind that the potions are HUGE. You can easily share with a friend!

But I had an urge to find some fried chicken that is lightly battered and this place hit the spot. Located just off of Park Avenue and Fairbanks is The Hen & Hog. Got a 6 piece fried chicken anf a few sides which consisted of mac and cheese, fries and a pickled slaw. Juicy freshly fried and ever so gently battered chicken that was crisp with every bite. Definitely some tasty chicken. I really liked the slaw that had garlic onions celery and some other items but it cut through the savoriness of the chicken. Yes, i ate all of it to the bone. Wife also got chicken and waffles which she thoroughly enjoyed. Also had fried banana peppers with a pimento spread. Pretty nice combination. Staff was super helpful. They also have wings with a lot of great sauces to try. That will be my order for next time. Cant wait to come back.

The inside of the restaurant was cute. I really enjoyed the live stream of the cows grazing in the fields. The rustic vibe fit the brand great. It only took a short while to get our food. My cuban was great. The bread was nicely toasted. The meat was extremely juicy on the sandwich. My friend enjoyed the taste of her burger. We both thought the fries had nice crispiness. There were several families enjoying lunch inside while we were in here. I saw they had a brunch menu and think in my next visit I want to experience the chicken and waffles I keep hearing about.

All the good reviews made me try this place. I was extremely disappointed because I was hoping to…read morehad found a good gluten free establishment. The food and presentation look just like the pictures. The price is a bit steep imo, but that's the nature of this area. The biggest disappointment for me was the flavor of the chicken. It had this lemony-limey sour taste that I just couldn't get past. I asked if there was any lemon/lime in the breading and was told no. So I am not sure what is being used to give it that sour taste. So just a heads up for those who don't like that taste and are expecting just a simple seasoned, fried chicken taste. Others may enjoy that flavor but I don't. The chicken itself looks big, but it's really just beaten and flattened out pretty thin. More breading than meat. The breading on the chicken was extremely crunchy and the waffle was pretty hard and crunchy too. The entire sandwich was just overall crunchy. So if crunch isn't your thing, you may want to pass on the chicken waffle sandwich. The fries were good though. All of the food was freshly cooked so I appreciated that. Likely won't return to eat again. My husband gave his meal a 4.5/10.

Minuscule point deduction though because they don't have real maple syrup but that's probably a tall ask for a coffee shop. This really is a nice coffee grab if you're in Winter Park. The staff are friendly and the cafe was comfy. Good place to get some work or reading done or just catch up with a friend! And they even have parking! Can be tricky in winter park.

The "Cream of the Day" is the daily selection of warm, comforting porridge (oatmeal, cornmeal, cornstarch, or cream if wheat). Today, the selection is oatmeal. If you order it "Bruleed" it will be served with a crust of carmelized sugar and fresh fruits. The hot tea was the perfect beverage for this cold day!
