Smokey Skillet
Jason E.

OMG soooooooo good! I had never been there before and am so glad I stopped in. I was taken care of by Lilly and she was delightful. Knew the menu, kept my drink full, and was the right amount of attentive. I had the Smokey Skillet and it was good. It had a good taste, but after adding some hot sauce to it, it was perfect. I know the food needs to be cooked to,appeal to everyone, but I'd like a bit more seasoning or spice. I'll be back.

Blueberry's on pancakes scrambled eggs with bacon

I'm a long haul semi truck driver I went for a walk Found this restaurant a mile 1.3 away. From the TA truck stop In Seffner Fl I'm so glad I went in for breakfast Great friendly staff good service good atmosphere like a old diner Good portions you'll leave full and go into food coma yep you'll need a nap I'll eat here again a must try Stop here and you'll be satisfied too Oh they use real eggs here Which surprised me Unlike most restaurants

Hillbilly Benedict. This is a hidden gem. Excellent food and service.

Family atmosphere, Food and service was top notch. Fair prices. Nightly specials for dinner.

We were on our way to our summer vacation when we spotted this diner and decided to stop in. The service was top-notch and our waitress was incredibly friendly and welcoming. The diner had that classic, old-school charm that made it feel like it had been there for decades. The prices were surprisingly so low and we were amazed by how generous the portions were. Food was delicious!

Chicken Fried Pork

We have been coming to Martha's for close to 10 years and it is always great. But today we had a perfect breakfast. Food came out to the table all at once, everything was fresh and delicious. My husband had the fried pork on special, I get the Southern Omelet, and our daughter had a handheld egg and bacon sandwich. It's great to see Martha's just get better and better!! See you soon.

Definitely an old School mom & pop Diner, but still worth a stop in! The inside reminded me of a diner I went to as a kid, metal interior. The food was spot on the strawberry French toast was delicious with rice crispy Crunch on the outside to give it a nice texture. It came with eggs and sausage Pattie's that were good too. The cinnamon roll pancakes came out as a castle that was super nice and they are moist on the inside from the whipped cream. The fried okra had a great corn meal breading and each bite was delicious Overall it was a good meal

Martha's Family Restaurant is similar to an old fashioned diner.They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. We tried scrambled eggs and potatoes and I ordered a Turkey club sandwich. Our food was delicious and all of the staff at this restaurant are friendly and food was served quickly. First time in Seffner too.

Two eggs and corned beef hash. Pancakes is one of the side options.

First time visitor. And, we were not disappointed! Arrived around 10:20am on Saturday and sat down immediately. By 11am, folks were waiting for tables to empty. True diner vibe. We wanted breakfast (served all day) and didn't even look at the rest of the menu. However, we our neighbors' fresh fried okra arrived on their table we had to order some too. It was delish! Service was friendly and our waitress was attentive. Food prep time was reasonable considering the restaurant was almost full. Be advised that they charge a convenience fee for credit card charges. I'm sure we will be back!

Hillbilly Skillet... my word... so damn good.
Diego A.

Yet another five star experience! Man, we freakin' love this place. It's homie, the people are friendly, the food is phenomenal, and the portions are GENEROUS. Had the Hillbilly Skillet and it was just as delicious as the Meat Lover's last time. Also tasted their garlic Parmesan wings. Very tasty! Good crunch to them. Service was attentive and friendly. The other patrons were kind and happy. We just love the road side diner vibe here. Brought a friend and we'll probably be bringing even more!

First plate of ribs for the AYCE rib dinner.
Caridad S.

We went back to try their AYCE ribs tonight. The service was just as amazing as our previous visit. I must say that while they weren't actually my kind of ribs (I like smoked ribs and their ribs seemed like they are cooked in a slow cooker) but they did not taste bad. They were VERY tender and you get about 6 decent sized ribs for your first plate. They were AYCE but none of us ordered any reorders because it was so much food. I came on here to add a pic because I couldn't find a pic of their ribs anywhere before visiting tonight. :)

Cheesesteak with homemade onion rings.
Karen F.

3.5 Stars. We were in the area at lunchtime, and didn't have many options, so we decided to try Martha's. It's a diner-type place with an eclectic menu, decent food, and friendly, efficient service. We chose to order off the menu, although there was also a lunch buffet for $13. I went with the cheesesteak sandwich and their homemade onion rings. Food did take some time; I got the impression that the kitchen was backed up because all the servers were standing near the food window waiting on their orders. My sandwich was okay; the meat was a little chewy, but the bread was soft and fresh. The onion rings were great, if a little greasy. My friends' food took a little longer to come out. The tuna sub was packed with tuna and looked good, but the seafood lunch plate was a little skimpy and sad looking. Tables are packed very close together, plus if you are seated near the buffet, you might get a little warm. You pay at the little booth next to the front door. Plenty of parking was available next to and in front of the restaurant. I'd like to return for breakfast, because at a place like this I'm sure it would shine.

Followed the reviews on this one. Its definitely a bit off the beaten path, but once inside, the diner vibes appear. I was looking for pancakes and I got real pancakes nothing frozen here. I got the famous Hillbilly skillet..This needs to be on Man vs. Food cuz sooo much food. customer service on point!! even the local customers were conversational....Ohhh almost forgot, the burgers...they looked meaty, my son would not share, so that was a good sign.

I'm sure many people have described the Candor Grille by saying. "This is a hidden gem" in their…read morereview. But...I'm going to have to disagree. This is NOT a hidden gem. This my friends, is a DIAMOND MIND!! Gordan Ramsey himself would be in utter ASTONISHMENT!! and bow his head in shame while comparing his cuisine to this place's. The food, ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE THE PICTURES! The flavor you ask? ABSOLUTELY SCRUMPTIOUS, and actually TASTES like the food it looks like!... yeah I was in awe myself. Service you ask?.. I actually believe they must staff real psychics. I'm a real finicky eater ya see, and my entire order was (drum roll) EXACTLY what I ordered. From my request of "NO" salted fries, (try to get that anywhere else, and watch the faces drop when you request this.) to NOT too sweet, NOT too sour, lemonade. Oh...the ambience is such a stress relieving experience (especially dining outside) under some of nature's beautifully huge trees with a vast canopy of foliage that simply gobbles up any would be rays of sun looking to simply ruin the experience. NOT happening... Trust me. My review is not just talk. The Candor Grille is "The REAL deal! See you there!!

I went to this restaurant based on the reviews and I was most interested in their chicken Caesar wrap. I received very pleasant service. I found a comfortable table. I purchased a chicken Caesar wrap with french fries and sweet tea. The chicken itself didn't taste right. I don't know if it was how the Chicken was dressed in the Cesar wrap, but it was unpleasant and not even edible. They did give me two separate wraps. And I appreciate that. But it was not good. So for the food, it's a one star, but the Service and atmosphere are definitely nice. But I did not enjoy the food.

On June 24th, I visited this restaurant for the first time. Shana, a friendly staff member, greeted…read moreme warmly upon my arrival. She promptly brought me menus and asked if I'd like anything to drink, which she delivered without hesitation. While I was perusing the menu, Shana went to another table, but she returned quickly to take my order. My Farmhouse Hash arrived in about 10 minutes, and it was delicious. Shana checked in with me a few times during my meal, but she didn't hover, which I appreciated. The restaurant was spotless, with a diligent cleaning crew ensuring a hygienic environment after each patron's departure. However, I noticed a minor issue: the restroom water was trickling out during my handwashing. I promptly informed an employee about this problem, and she promptly called out to someone, likely the manager. It was reassuring to witness the staff's attentive response and the swift action taken to address the issue. The food was quickly delivered at the right temperature and tasted wonderful. The staff was generally friendly and attentive, even though the restaurant was moderately busy. Shana, in particular, stood out as a fantastic employee. Overall, I had a great experience and will definitely be returning to this restaurant.

I used to come here frequently when it was "Corner Bakery." It always felt peaceful, tucked into…read morethat light, bright corner of the small plaza across from Starbucks in the large Regency complex, at I-75 and SR 60. That peaceful feeling remains, in its successor-this still newish First Watch. They've opened it up in here... no room dividers-the duct work exposed in the now higher ceiling. When you walk in, there are booths and tables left, right and center-and a cute little high top bar to the right (juices and juice blends and, I believe, limited cocktails. They have some on the menu) The decor is contemporary industrial, with some charming vintage touches sprinkled here and there. And a mural reminds you you're in Brandon-a nice nod to local. I was happily seated by a big window. My server was sweet-brought water right away. (And what is it about cold water in a glass bottle, poured into a glass ? It's magical! I'd make Mom proud and up my water intake if I served it that way at home) She gave me plenty of time to choose my breakfast. I went with the "traditional"-2 scrambled eggs, 3 pieces of bacon (you can choose other meats-or upgrade to their million dollar bacon), breakfast potatoes and thick, rustic toast with butter. Oh, it was good-especially the bacon. I paired it with a kale juice blend that was tasty and hopefully healthy. (My carbonated Diet Coke bloodstream needed a break) It came to just under $22. I'd order it again, but there are lots of other intriguing options on both the regular menu-and the seasonal one. It's comfy, casual, cozy and spotlessly clean. It wasn't overly busy on the Tuesday morning I was there-but it was in between breakfast and lunch. I'm sure it's bustling at prime times. There's lots of parking and abundant covered, outdoor seating on two sides of the building. It's easy, breezy and yum. Oh yes, I'll be back.
