    Overall a decent breakfast spot. Nothing fancy but good food. Inside is a little dingy but clean. Servers were attentive and nice. Food came out quick eggs, bacon, sausage all good. Unfortunately biscuits and gravy were cold.

    Skillet breakfast
    Kerry C.

    My husband and I came here for breakfast one morning and he loved it so much that he requested to come back for Father's Day breakfast. This is a nice, clean little place that just does breakfast/brunch and lunch. It has plenty of seating and a good-sized menu. It definitely had everything that we could want at fair prices. The waitresses here are really friendly and listen to what you want and suggest things as well. The coffee is good diner coffee. The grits are bland, but that's expected at many diners around here that have an older clientele. The omelettes and skillet dishes are delicious. They know how to cook an egg. The bacon is done just right as well. Biscuits are super fluffy. Speaking of biscuits, the sausage gravy is top-notch. Absolutely one of the better ones around here. Large chunks of sausage and creamy, peppery white sauce with no lumps. I highly recommend if you like biscuits and gravy. Plenty of parking, just be careful on Memorial Blvd if you are on the opposite side of the road and have to make a u-turn to get here.

    Child size wrap

    1) They are in the ghetto 2) rude, mouthy waitress 3) food portions small with big price. I ordered cheese steak wrap. It was child's size. It was $9.59. Sides was either potato salad or coleslaw. $1.99 for fries. There is more ingredients and labor in the other two options. 4) I usually order egg white omelette for breakfast, but couldn't afford it here. They charge $.99 per egg if you do egg whites only, which would of cost over $13. That doesn't include a side. 5) they have Fox News on their tv 6) they charge extra to use a credit card, and tell you.

    Ate it all and it was glorious

    Just like a Midwest comfort meal for breakfast/brunch. It's almost always known that if there's a restaurant inside an old Pizza Hut, then the food is going to be amazing. It's definitely the case for The Brunch Box. The staff are so friendly and fun. They give you honest opinions about which dish of your choosing is best to try. The food was amazing. I had a two egg breakfast like I get everywhere and the buttery scrambled eggs were a comfort blanket. The license plates and overall feel of the space was warm and welcoming. Can't wait to go again!

    Oh my goodness the food was fantastic. I had biscuit sausage gravey, my son had waffles and chicken, my husband had bacon egg and cheese biscuit sandwich. My son's friend had Frenchtoast, the OJ is fresh squeezed. The food was out quickly and the place is so cute, our server was the best. 100% recommend Biscuit's and Benidict's!!! Skip this joint as the brunch box sucks.

    Scrambled eggs, diced ham, hash browns and coffee at Brunch Box
    india r.

    I stopped in for breakfast here as it was close to a Drs appt that I had and I didn't want to go to leave the general vicinity The restaurant was clean and pleasant. The waitress was very sweet and patient as it took me a minute or two to look at the menu and make a decision. I had the scrambled eggs with diced ham,hash browns and an English muffin waaay better than drive thru. Hot and fresh real food. When the waitress asked me to make a bread choice I was happy that they had English muffins as an option, but I hesitated. Without missing a beat the waitress said " I will look and see if we have orange marmalade ". Yaaaaas! I had the muffin grilled instead of toasted and it was wonderful. Truly had I known that it was that good I would have skipped the potatoes and had 2 muffins. I bread. The staff here was SUPER nice there were people that came in that were obviously regulars which is always a good sign for me. I enjoyed this spot and will definitely come back when I am out this way. My only disappointment was that they only had half &half for the coffee, I wasn't up for the spectacle of lactose intolerance this morning which meant that I couldn't have my coffee WITH my English muffin. This is a good place to have a great breakfast.

    The supreme skillet.

    The supreme skillet. This is by far the best thing I have eaten here. It was cooked perfectly. Definitely shareable. The waitresses are always nice. Good quick service!

    Help wanted ad

    This restaurant is under new ownership, and should be AVOIDED! Two of us went for breakfast this morning, arriving about 10am. Took our server almost 15 minutes to take the drink order, but she did acknowledge us early on. Seemed odd that the full dining room showed virtually NO FOOD on the tables. We placed our order, and 40 minutes later it arrived. I don't know what to call the mess of eggs that were served, but they were not even close to the over medium that was ordered. My ham steak had a bad odor and taste, so it went back. Friend's link sausage wasn't right either, and when split in half, showed something foreign in the center. These went back also. The owner did adjust the bill according, and our server apologized profusely (none of this was her fault). As I was paying the owner at the register, 2 other customers came up to pay and told her they would never be back. I gave her the same feedback. To top it off, I'm posting a picture of their Craig's List ad for cooks that blatantly states they only will hire age 45 or younger!

The standout for me was the Holiday Ham breakfast sandwich, and it absolutely lived up to its name. Built on a flaky buttermilk biscuit, it layers a light, fluffy egg soufflé with thinly sliced ham, praline bacon that adds just the right touch of sweetness, and a cranberry orange jam that ties everything together with a bright, unexpected pop. Every bite tasted thoughtful and seasonal without being overcomplicated--comfort food elevated. I paired it with Jennie's Dolce seasonal espresso drink, and it was so good I immediately wanted another. Even more impressive? The second one tasted just as perfect as the first--a small detail that says a lot about their consistency and care behind the bar. The coffee shop ambience immediately stands out, with a relaxed yet polished vibe that makes it just as ideal for a casual morning as it is for catching up on work or meeting friends. Service was warm and efficient, and you can tell this place has become a staple in the downtown community. If you appreciate creative twists on classic breakfast favorites and expertly crafted coffee drinks, Black & Brew is well worth the stop. I'll definitely be back to explore more of the menu.

I knew exactly what I wanted for the entree but the server (she was incredible) also suggested the poached pear and caprese salads to start. While the poached pear was very good the caprese, with fresh buratta was out of this world! My companion orderd a unique take on chicken cordon bleu and the portion was huge. What brought me here was the roast duck with cherry sauce and it did not disappoint. In fact, it instantly became one of the top 5 entrees I've had in my entire life. Yes, it was that good! They were even kind enough to exchange the potato for the risotto of the day. Finished it off with a scratch made Lemon Blueberry cake. While their wine list is ok and reasonably priced, take advantage of their $20 corkage fee and bring a great bottle to pair with their incredible food! If you don't live in Lakeland, make the drive! You won't be disappointed!

I have to find one like it in my area. Luckily, it's also a coffee shop so I usually get a coffee as well. If you've never been here, they're located in downtown Lakeland. Now on this particular visit wasn't too busy and I was able to order and get everything right away. The lady working the front was so sweet when I told her how much I love the carrot cake she got me a fresh slice of a new cake and it was so good!! The carrot cake by itself would be perfect but velvety cream cheese icing on top really brings it together. No on this visit I did get a nice latte as well. That was a little dark when it first came out, and she could tell by the look on my face that something wasn't right and she fixed it right away lol. I wish Mitchells was closer but it's definitely worth the drive.
