    Plate #1 (top) - French Toast, 2 eggs, home fries and bacon Plate #2 (bottom) - pancakes, 2 eggs, grits w/ cheese ($1extra) and bacon

    This is a small family owned place. When you walk in, sign says sit anywhere. The booth I was sitting on was tilted to one side so couldn't sit in the middle of the bench. The service was nice and food comes out quick. The grits needed more seasoning. The pancakes were nothing special. My husband enjoyed their French toast. For the price of food, we would go back. I wish they had flavored creamer for their coffee though. Maybe add to the wish list? Thanks.

    It is a pretty well-known fact that it is nearly impossible to get a seat at a decent dinner on any given Saturday morning to enjoy a good breakfast. Unless, of course, you are willing to wait for a long time to be seated. So on our way to Winter Park, we drove past this place on Fairbanks and decided on a whim to give it a try. A quick check of Yelp reviews confirmed our choice, and we ventured into the place. We got seated immediately and enjoyed a wonderful breakfast meal served with a smile and warm hospitality. Good food, and good service, a wonderful 5-star combination.

    I've been working in Winter Park for a while now and finally decided to try this restaurant. It is a small, local business that might not get your attention as you're driving down Fairbanks ave. Do yourself a favor and stop by. The staff is super friendly and their food is good. The building might seem a bit dated outside, but the inside looks good, clean and accommodating. I made a takeout order, since I was in a hurry. Got the fairbanks omelette and 1/2 order of biscuits and gravy. The food was warm, good and tasted good. Best of all, their prices are very reasonable (based on today's economy) and portion size is great. I can say that I had an awesome breakfast today and will definitely go back. This is a small business worth supporting. They offer a great product at a good price.

    The farmers omelette was different from others I've seen at other restaurants. This one had cubed hash brown potatoes baked into the omelette. It was quite delicious. The restaurant was clean and well maintained. The servers were very good and pleasant. I'm looking forward to coming back again.

    Food was great and came out super quick, very cheap and the vibes were extremely chill. Perfect easy breakfast place. Staff is friendly.

    The food was ok, could've used a little more seasoning. Cute quiet little dinner. Customer service wasn't all that but I go for the food. I'd go back.

    The three star rating does not mean this is a bad place. It's actually quite nice with its renovations and homestyle feel. The food was good just as if I would cook it at home but with a little less flavor. Customer service was attentive, and lots of people were always coming in, so this place is never without business. Prices are fair and I would prefer homestyle cooking at this restaurant over some chain breakfast restaurants. The renovation inside definitely makes a big difference as the outside does not look like much. Parking is very limited and small so if you have a big party get there early. But I would stop in again.

    This is my family's favorite breakfast restaurant. Super unsuspecting spot from the outside but the inside is cute and clean. When you enter you can seat yourself anywhere you'd like. The food is very much diner food in the best way and affordable in my opinion. They have weekday lunch specials, soups and a decent amount of breakfast options.

    I've written a lot of great reviews but today, not so much...absolutely the WORST diner experience to date. On an A-F grading Overall food: C- Overall cleanliness: C My order: F (just gross) Service: F Average: D My food was horrible. It was supposed to be biscuits and gravy however the gravy was a really odd gelatinous pile of goop drowning two small chalky hard biscuits. I tried repeatedly attempted to get the servers attention but was ignored while she attended to to go orders and cashiering. When it was time to be presented with a check I was finally able to provide the information that my food was unacceptable and ice cold now. The solution of course was to pick up my dish and say oh Fine OK... I'll take it back. Never once did I get the chance to say oh I'd actually like to eat this morning hence why I came in to the restaurant you know to eat breakfast. And then we never see our server again. Our server was our cashier and I even had the honor of PAYING for the meal she took away. There was no acknowledgement that I didn't have a good experience or even get to eat for that matter. To add insult to injury as we stood outside the diner awaiting to leave we literally watched the elderly white lady with gray hair mock me and to other diners. Unquestionably the most ridiculous act of childish behavior you can imagine. Here are some expectations for your visit should you choose... -Tables will be slightly cleaned off -Food will be iffy -Service will be terrible This is around the corner from my house and I so wanted it to be a great experience; it was not at all. I don't recommend at all.

    This is a little hidden gem right on Fairbanks. Don't be fooled by outside appearances, inside has cute vibes and a cool atmosphere. Staff was very welcoming and attentive. Food was delicious and very reasonably priced. Will definitely be back when I'm in the area again.

As soon as I arrived, the staff acknowledged it was my birthday and the manager came over to grab my cake and put it in the fridge and we were immediately sat. I started out with a Cloudstar martini which was incredible and I ordered the famous focaccia rolls for the table. They are so flavorful with the Tasmanian sea salt and they are so doughy and soft. Truly unlike any bread service I have ever had. For my entree, I ordered the Bronzed Florida Grouper with the saffron risotto but I also had a few bites of the Chapman Meatballs and Salmon. Everything I tried was absolutely incredible. The menu is packed with flavor and has something for everyone, which I really can appreciate. For dessert, even though I had brought in a cake for the table, our server Maddie, informed me that she will be bringing out a no bake cheesecake. The cheesecake was fantastic and I loved the berry jam on the side. Maddie brought out side plates and a knife for us to cut the cake and even assembled my candles and lit them. We were dining outside, closest to the patio, and at one point the rain started to pick up. The manager immediately came over and said that they had a table inside available if we wanted to move inside. Since we all were staying dry we opted to stay outside and a few moments later the rain stopped. As someone who has worked in the service industry the pre-planning of this moment was incredible. Throughout the entire evening, Maddie was consistently clearing plates, filling water, and checking to make sure we had everything we needed. Maddie was attentive and such a delight. The restaurant even gave me a happy birthday card from the whole team with handwritten signatures and well wishes. This was incredibly special and such an intimate gesture that really goes the extra mile. The service that we received this night was exemplary and I truly owe it all to our server, Maddie. In fact, I have never experienced this before when dining for my birthday. Thank you, Maddie, and to The Chapman team for making my 27th so special. I will definitely be dining here again and will recommend this restaurant to everyone I know!

At Roses, this theory stands validated. Returning after a hiatus of over five years, and with the space having transformed from its previous incarnation, I found myself pleasantly surprised. The service was attentive without being intrusive, setting a warm tone for the morning. The coffee was impeccable -- rich, balanced, and expertly prepared -- a true marker of a café that understands its craft. The French toast I ordered was a standout: perfectly crisp on the outside, tender within, and satisfying enough to fuel a motorcycle ride on a bright Saturday morning. The atmosphere is quietly charming -- a laid-back, metro-inspired aesthetic that feels both familiar and effortlessly stylish. It's clear that Roses has cultivated a devoted local following, while also welcoming newcomers with open arms. Located conveniently for a weekend breakfast, Roses proved a worthy alternative after a missed opportunity elsewhere on Park Avenue. For those seeking a quintessential, no-fuss morning meal with great coffee and genuine hospitality, Roses earns a well-deserved two thumbs up.

Paying $7 for a side of COLD, stale bacon was a slap in the face. Again, it was not busy at all when we were there. Also, the rose latte was like drinking syrup.

The chicken was super crispy, flavorful, and that melted pimento cheese was fire! It was seriously delicious and very filling. I'll definitely be back soon to try another biscuit...maybe something more traditional next time to compare. My experience was excellent overall, but I have to dock one point for no indoor seating. I know the space is tiny, but adding a small counter with a couple of high chairs against the window would be awesome. Just my two cents!
