They offer complimentary valet which came in handy as we wrapped our meal there was a storm blowing in from the gulf that the staff handled really well given their familiarity with Florida weather. The food was terrific, the fried gator bites were a hit my kiddo. The blackened mahi tacos were very filling and the seasoning on everything was really good. I'm always hesitant with touristy places bc they're often over priced and you don't get the value for the money but not here. The views are amazing and the food was even better. Our server was well versed in the menu and made great recommendations and she was very kind and efficient.

Steamers come with what I consider the best broth I've ever had and the Calamari w/ home made marinara. Servers are quick, friendly and efficient.

Most brunch place operate from 7 AM to 2-3 PM but The Brunch Factory open from 7 AM to midnight! Breakfast served all day! There are three separate area, "Outside bar", "Inside bar" and backroom. The backroom has Corn Holes and Dart Boards. It is designed for group gatherings. Live music is available on the weekend. The food was fine! I ordered an Uncle Larry Berries. What I got was fresh strawberries, blueberries, drizzled with raspberry sauce with power sugar and whipped cream over Belgian waffle. The portion is generous. The butter and warm maple syrup made this the best Strawberry/Blueberry waffle I had! Besides great selection for brunch, they have dinner items like BBQ ribs, Chicken Alfredo, ribeye steak, and others. Service is warm and welcoming. The vibe is playful, fun and up beating. It is not an upscale but local community minded facility. A great place to hang out with friends and family. I was impressed by the food and the atmosphere. If you enjoy brunch dishes and a lively atmosphere, you have to try The Brunch Factory!

I understand that this used to be a "biker bar", thus the motorcycle on the roof. The place is a little different. There is a full bar "outside", with lots of seating outside. There is seating inside, but it's mostly empty space. There are two "back rooms". One has Corn Hole and the other has Dart Boards. The food was okay. Service was okay. Pricing is a little on the higher side. Seems like a good place to hang out with friends for drinks. Maybe not for fine dining.

I wanted to like this place, and the server was nice. I did have a few issues, though…read more 1. The menu prices don't match the check. In a weird way too. For example, my ~$13.99 meal was $15.95, and my $3.50 drink was $2.00. The price was basically the same so I let it go, but it always irks me when menu prices aren't accurate. 2. The Eggs Benedict was overcooked. The eggs were solid, no runny yolk at all. 3. The place was loud. There were 3 people at the same time all on speakers phone, talking over the other people talking on their speakerphone. I think one was the owner or manager, because she was ordering restaurant supplies, loudly talking to her cell phone on speaker. It made it difficult to enjoy breakfast. Otherwise, the flavors are good and the prices reasonable. I probably won't go back myself, and may have just caught them on an off day, but I'm just passing through and wanted to leave my feedback.

The address took us to the wrong spot but we were able to figure out it was on the other side of the road and hidden behind the building. Parking was easy and the small patio was great. We never went inside so I'm not sure if they have more seating in there or not. We even had manatees swimming by throughout our breakfast and it was fun watching the boats as well. My breakfast arrived how I ordered it and I enjoyed it. It's about the quality of your typical diner but with much higher prices since you are on Boca Grande. Luckily they had big umbrellas to block the sun because it was very hot! We would come back for sure.

We love supporting our local community as it is still recovering from Hurricane Ian. We crossed the bridge towards St. James City and towards the Cafe. It was bustling and it looks like a lot of snow birds have found this hidden gem. Everything is homemade and baked there. We ordered our usual- Scrambled eggs piled high on a Croissant with bacon and cheese. A delicious crispy concoction that keeps us coming back! Not to mention the fresh ground coffee and the little patio outside overlooking a peaceful lake. We ate our sandwiches outside in the cool beautiful breezy weather. The sandwich is so yummy and you need a fork and knife to cut through the delicate croissant. Then off we go to our favorite little Publix on Pine Island to grocery shop. A lovely way to begin our day!
