Ps...the chef stopped by my table. Food and service five star! Had to edit because I just ate the best pineapple upside down cake since my mommas!

The customer service was great, and both the food and drinks were very good. Everything tasted fresh and was well prepared. My only complaint would be the price. We got 2 drinks, 2 breakfast sandwiches, and a pastry, and it came out to around $45, which felt a little pricey for a cafe breakfast. Overall, though, we had a good experience and I would definitely come back. The atmosphere, cleanliness, service, and quality of the food were all great.

I ordered the Smashburger special, which came with fries and coleslaw. I paid extra for sweet potato fries. My burger had two thin hand patted pieces of beef with cheese, lettuce, pickles and tomato. The burger was hot, juicy and delicious! And all the fixins were fresh. The coleslaw had more of a vinegar flavor which I liked. And the sweet potato fries were piping hot and yummy! I dipped them in honey. Our server was sweet and attentive. If you are ever in Silver Springs I suggest giving them a try!

Staff are friendly and this place has lots of regulars, it seemed like everyone was on a first name basis. We were traveling with a very hungry child and when searching for kid-friendly options in Ocala, this was one of the few that did not have health department violations so seemed an easy decision, even if it was a little out of our way. The challenge was the wait time. We only waited 15 minutes to be seated but we waited 40 minutes to get our food (pancakes, quiche, and a burger). Our son made sure the whole restaurant knew how hungry he was. Our waitress kindly brought out a basket of crackers which he proceeded to devour. I also supplemented with snacks from my purse. But she did not give us any updates or apologize for the wait. We almost walked out, but then our food arrived. The food was okay, but very basic. For example, side salad was just ice berg with a slice of tomato and some red onion. Nothing wrong, just nothing fancy. I would only recommend coming here if you are not hungry and can afford to wait.

We had an early service and we were at The Brunch House before 9:30 AM and this place was doing brisk business...a good sign. We sat down, were presented menus, and my wife ordered coffee while we decided what to order for breakfast. My wife chose the 2 Eggs and a Biscuit with hash browns ($11.99) and I decided to try out their Eggs Benedict with house potatoes ($13.99). The half order of biscuits that came with my wife's meal was quite generous...more like a full order. So much so that she took home the eggs and hash browns for a later meal. She liked the fresh biscuits smothered in a savory, peppery gravy. The only thing she would improve on is perhaps adding some sausage meat in the gravy and it would be perfect. The eggs Benedict were well executed. Perfectly poached eggs atop a smoky and thick slice of Canadian bacon and English muffin, all swimming in a creamy hollandaise sauce. The only thing that would've made this better would be a thicker, more substantial English muffin. All in all, we liked our breakfast meal and will likely return. Breakfast for 2 was just under $38 with tip. NOTE: There's a surcharge for credit card payments.

Flyers opens at 10am and offer only lunch, a nice break from eggs and pancakes IMHO, but some of the riders were disappointed by that. I had an Italian Submarine sandwich. It was huge and delicious. I hear that Flyers imports their hoagie rolls from Philadelphia and they are superb. No negative comments from anyone in our group about other meals. Service was very good. Rest room was clean. Staff were very friendly. Signage from the road is very difficult to see, but they say that they are working on that. The theme of the place focuses on the owners home town of Philadelphia, specifically the Philadelphia Flyers hockey team. We'll be back!!
