I was looking forward to my visit here but I was disappointed. My friend ordered a hamburger topped with a fried egg over medium. The waitress had a hard time understanding what over medium means, so we explained.... I ordered two pancakes, with two eggs over medium. Once again I had to eggsplain what over medium meant . The pancakes were huge! Bigger is not necessarily better because these things were rubbery and tasteless. They charged me $19 for the burger and another $4 for the egg ! Our waitress seemed out of it. Don't know if she was medicated but something wasn't right. read more

Sage biscuit cafe on Cortez: Arrived before the weekend crowd could assemble and ordered a spinach, feta and tomato omelette with a biscuit and home fries - very good! What I love and appreciate most is the staff ( at least at the counter), make sure your coffee cup is full and warm. Best to arrive before late morning because things can get backed up. read more

First time at Sage Biscuit. It was busy on a Sunday right up until closing. But the wait to get a table was short. The menu had lots of choices for both Breakfast and lunch. I ordered the chicken club sandwich as a wrap and added ranch. The sweet potatoes fries were delish. Nice and crispy. The wrap was alright. It came as expected but no ranch. That made it pretty tasteless. I was finished with half of it by the time the waitress came to check on us. I finally got some Ranch and that made it so much better! The breakfast looked good. My friend got a skillet with a biscuit and my husband got pancakes. The Sage Biscuit was delicious and moist! Overall good experience. Would come back and try the breakfast next time. read more

The food was plentiful && very flavorful. I was skeptical but the food was amazing. The biscuit was warm && fresh.. the chicken was juicy. The waffle && pancake melts in your mouth. The service was pretty fast && the outside seating was a nice view of downtown. read more

Second time here on a 4 day trip, we love their food. The sausage gravy is delicious and their biscuits are a must have. Service was fast and friendly. We were sat right away and food came out pretty quick. Super chill spot. The pancakes were super soft. Everything was on point. We were even offered drinks to go once we paid. read more

My husband found a hair in his banana and walnut French toast. He receive a fresh one with no hair, but the server could have cared less. We are both in the hospitality and would have appreciated a sorry or something . Wouldn't recommend to anyone and won't be going back. read more

My mom, sister, and I decided to come to Sage biscuit cafe for brunch for a girls day. This place is always poppin with people which tells you how good it is! You can use the Yelp app to join the waitlist in advance if you'd like which is helpful. Parking is in a public lot paid with ParkMobile app, so be prepared. We each got coffees (my sister and I got iced, my mom got hot), and for entrees we got the vegan tofu scramble, Mediterranean omelette and veggie hash. The food was fantastic, and special shout out to the sage biscuits! The reason this is a 4 star review is because our server wasn't incredibly attentive; it took 3 tries to get a hot coffee. However overall wonderful place for brunch! read more

Tinkering back and forth between a 3 and 4 star rating, Sage Biscuit ultimately did the job, though a few facets could've been improved upon. Sunday around 1pm, we figured we'd have to wait for a table. We waited 20 minutes and were seated inside. *Pro tip* wait inside the office building to take advantage of the AC! The menu is HUGE, ranging from breakfast and brunch classics to lunch items. It was very difficult to decide and I ended up going with one of their specials, the shrimp and grits. It was a giant plate and with it being my first meal of the day around 2pm I scarfed most of it down. There were only 4 shrimp included. C'mon now, it's SHRIMP and grits after all! They loaded it with red peppers, which is fine, but it's not red peppers and grits...The grits were on the bland side and needed copious amounts of butter and salt. Again, I was starving so I ate it. But I wouldn't order it again. And though we could tell our server was in the industry for a long time (didn't write our order down) we had to wait a really long time for the check. As the restaurant was slowing down we felt neglected for a while when we needed to get a move on things. Not rushing back the next time I'm in Bradenton. But they do have a lot of seating and a large menu to accommodate different taste buds! read more

The good - as always was delicious. I don't think the Benedict is worth $17, but I think that's the product of the times. Coffee woke me up with the first sip. My server was super quick and proactive. I sat outside, and she never forgot about me. This restaurant will remain in my breakfast rotation. read more

Health department list many problems with both locations, Prices have gone up with smaller portions.

An interesting space in downtown Bradenton under a weird office building that seems mostly empty. Bathrooms out the back in the building lobby were not so clean... Parking is free in the garage next door but $8 in all of the surrounding surface lots. Food was good, with pancakes and sausage gravy hitting high notes. The rest was just like everything else. Served was good but we waited 1/2 hour for our food. Coffee was good. Was convenient for east and west residents to meet but probably wouldn't rush back read more

Food 5/5 Service 5/5 Ambiance 5/5 This place was so good we went 3 times on our 3 day stay. The first time we had Sage Biscuit Skillet, and Chicken Sandwhich. Both blew us away with the flavor. Skillet was jam packed with flavor. The chicken biscuit sandwhich was perfectly cooked with a taster sauce to dip our American fries. It was so good we went back for breakfast the next day. We got the same skillet (it was that good), a croissant sandwhich, and strawberry stuffed French toast (PHENOMENAL)! Third day we tried to go somewhere else, but the food was so bad we settle our bill and headed over to Sage.. Again, it did not disappoint. We will be returning here if we are ever in the area again! read more

Prices are really reasonable here and the food was really good. Kids meals were ~$5 and they were super filling. Breakfast and brunch dishes were also a good price and most of us had to get a box for our leftovers because the portions were huge! Our waitress was very patient with our orders and attentive after we ordered. Location is cool with indoor and outdoor seating. I would recommend trying to find free parking on one of the nearby streets though (maybe on 13th)--because the pay lot right across the street was $8.50 to park--which seemed crazy! read more

Came here to say for a celebration brunch with coworkers. There are two locations and we all ended up after different ones and had to correct that issue lol. They have outside and inside seating. Multiple items to choose from in the menu. I will definitely say get the omelet and sage biscuit. One of the best biscuits (outside of my Nana's) that I have had. I would go back just for those! So light and fluffy and great taste. Until next review Kisses read more

Lovely to sit outside - food is very good and service was quick. Excellent value. Highly recommend for breakfast.

We were in the downtown Bradenton area yesterday (Monday) morning and decided to stop. It was 8a and they were not busy. Their hostess station is outside the main doors. When we arrived a server/hostess was walking a dude to an outside table and said she'd be right back. She never came back. It was so humid, I finally had to step inside where I proceeded to wait again. A customer joked with me and said just go back there and get them. I said I'm walking out before I go back and get them. Finally seated. I ordered the sage biscuits and gravy with a side of fruit instead of potatoes or grits. My husband ordered the corned beef hash with 2 over easy eggs, it came with a sage biscuit and either potatoes, grits or the fruit. He asked the server if the corned beef hash was made in house and was told yes. It was not. They did add onions and peppers to the hash, instead of serving as is from their food purveyor, so there's that. The eggs were cooked beautifully. My meal was tasty, the gravy on the biscuits could have been hotter but still delicious. The biscuits had a great flavor and were crispy around the edges. We spent over 30$ + tip for breakfast. Which I think is a bit much but they are in a commercial building and I'm sure their rent warrants this pricing. The bathroom is not in the restaurant but in the lobby of the building. I'm not sure how you get to it, I think through the server's station between the dining room and the kitchen. They have indoor outdoor seating as well as single seating at a counter. Parking is across the street and it's a pay to park lot. Your choices are 4 or 8 hours. Four hours was ~5$. We opted to take a chance and did not pay. Would I go back? I mean if that's where any of my friends or colleagues wanted to go, I would. But for me and my husband, probably not. We have great breakfast spots closer to our home and less expensive. But the biscuits were really good. read more

We stopped for Sunday Brunch with 4 people. Food and service were perfect. Cleanliness was sub par. Menus had food and syrup stuck to them. Our outside table was sticky and filthy. The women's washroom smelled into the hallway. Had a drink and there was orange juice pulp stuck on the inside from a previous drink along with lipstick stains. The whole place needs to be power washed from top to bottom. Won't go back. read more

Came to Sage Biscuit Cafe to get out of our normal routine. When we arrived 2 hours prior to closing, we expected we would be seated quickly but they were still on a 45 minute wait! Atmosphere: We sat at the bar which was cozy, could have used a little more decor to feel homey but that's ok. Service: Our server was swamped and did a great job greeting us and telling us she'd be back. She gave great recommendations and the time it took to get our food was better than expected. Food: The food was above average. We got the raging burrito and the caramel brioche French toast. The burrito needed more of a sauce for which we used hot sauce. The overall flavor was very good just needed a sauce to bring it all together. The French toast was delicious! We also had a side of grits and a sage biscuit. The grits were average, a bit on the dry side. The biscuit was a must try and it did not disappoint. Drinks: The mimosa was perfect and the lattes were much better than I expected. Overall, a very positive experience and we would certainly go back. read more

Yes, yes, 100x yes! We came for Sunday brunch at 11a and thought dang, we're going to be waiting way too long - luckily we put our names down and got in 6 minutes later. Just enough time to take pictures of the scenic waterfall outside! Inside seemed pretty tight so we opted for outdoors. Mimosas taste better in the Fl breeze anyway ;) Adeline, our server was a sweetie - we like to ask for suggestions and named 4 immediately. With wanting to try everything on the menu, i made her stop when she mentioned what i wanted to try! I ordered a mimosa, she offered a double - yes please! Our food came out warm and lovely - so so good - biscuits are def unique, gravy super thick and flavorful, eggs were fluffly and cheesy, potatoes were nicely fried, my skillet had well sautéed onion/peppers - not just uncooked and thrown together as many places do. Will 100% be back here! Thank you for a great 1st visit!! read more

This is only about service. Food was great. I was given a gift card for Christmas and took a friend this morning to treat her since she had never been to Sage and money is tight for both of us. We had a lovely brunch; however, when I tried to pay with my gift card, the manager came out and told me that I was unable to use it. He said that they were in the process of switching systems and could not accept the gift card so I had to use a different form of payment. I was taken aback. He apologized, but stuck to his guns that I had to use a different form of payment nit once trying to come up with an alternative solution. Thankfully, I had another form of payment; however, I went there with the intention of using my gift card and not having to use my credit card. What would have happened if I had NO other form of payment? Seriously. We both are on tight budgets; hence the treat of the gift card, and now I have a charge on my credit card that I was not anticipating. Additionally, my friend felt horrible and insisted on paying for her half of the bill; we settled on her paying the tip. Point is...There should have been some type of heads up by the hostess that the gift card system was down. This, I would have understood and appreciated. I was a semi-frequent customer; However, after this experience, I will never go back. Nor will I recommend to others. read more

We had 8 kids and 8 adults in our party.We got a table right away outside, this was a Wednesday at 10:00 a.m. Looking pretty good so far we thought. Half an hour later we put in our order. No small feet. Now we know we won't get our food in 20 minutes or anything but we were hopeful. Half an hour more we get our drinks. I had ordered a cappuccino, they told me the cappuccino machine wasn't work but they were working on it. I finally received my coffee. By now we're into our 2nd hour. No food yet. We look around at all the small tables around us had already ordered, been served and the 2nd shift of tables were full. Our food starts coming out in shifts. Which we get that. We have no silverware. They need to go find some. In the mean time our food is getting cold. As I look around the table 2 hours into our wait I still hadn't received my meal of 2 pancakes and bacon. I told them to forget my meal when it finally arrived,I was so pissed off I couldn't have eaten if I wanted to. Our waitress didn't offer a second round of drinks. Never refilled our water. We never received an apology from anyone. $285.00 later and 2 and a half hour later, we left unhappy and very disappointed. read more

We had an amazing breakfast!! We both chose the crab omelette, which was a generous portion, and nice and fluffy. I had the potatoes, which were larger cut, but fried perfectly. My husband had the grits, which he thoroughly enjoyed. The sage biscuits were generous as well, a little crunchy on the outside, but soft and warm on the inside.. delicious!! The place was busy while we were there, but we had friendly, timely service and would definitely return. read more

Working too much and not being able to go to a breakfast place is a sad reality for me. I had a week off over the holidays and ate here twice. I happy danced both times. This is one of my favorite restaurants and neither of these times disappointed. A gentleman at the table behind me one day said "This is too good" and I couldn't agree more. This location is small so call ahead and get your name on the list if possible. We parked across the street the first visit and paid the fee, $3. We then read the note on the host stand that the parking garage next door is free if we show them our receipt as we exit. As always, our food was outstanding. There has never been anything about the food I could complain about. Maybe I can get someone to bring me the biscuits and gravy one say for lunch. read more

We really like this place for brunch! Each visit I seem to always order the same thing...the breakfast platter that has eggs, meat, potatoes, choice of bread, and pancake.

A regular suggested I get the BLT made with fried green tomato. Boy was she spot on. The bread was fantastic and toasted. The fried tomato is hot so watch your palate. Also get the chickpea salad. The cumin in the dressing makes it really interesting. They also have cold brew which is nice in FL since it is always warm here. Overall a lovely breakfast spot with brunchy drinks if you are into that. My regular friend indulged in a rose while bantering with the server about some yard work and landscape design she was about to embark on. A fun friendly local place with nice people. I couldn't figure out where to park. Ended up paying for a full day across the street. Outside seating seems nice too. read more
