Shakers is the kind of neighborhood diner that makes you wonder how you didn't find it sooner. The…read moreplace is full of personality, with salt and pepper shakers covering the walls and little details everywhere you look. It's charming without trying too hard. My biggest piece of advice: don't forget the griddled blueberry muffin. I somehow missed it when we ordered, realized my mistake, and immediately put in a second order. It was absolutely worth it. The biscuit was just as good, huge, fluffy, and basically a meal by itself. The food across the board was exactly what I wanted from a spot like this. The avocado, bacon, and tomato omelet was excellent. I don't usually love tomato, but it added just enough brightness to make the whole thing work. The eggs, grits, and chicken and waffles were all solid in the best possible way. Nothing here is trying to be trendy or overcomplicated. It's just really good diner food served in a place with a ton of character. I'll definitely be back, and next time I'm ordering the muffin first.

We happen to come across this gem while looking for something quick to bite and so glad we tried…read morethis place. The breakfast sandwiches were unique and savory. We ordered the scrambled and maple egg sandwiches and fresh squeezed orange juice. Everything was made fresh and the attention to every ingredient was amazing and delicious. We ordered the scrambled sandwich again because it was that good, and they were consistent with the quality and delivery. The staff were accommodating and friendly and it seems like they enjoyed their work environment. The restaurant is located in a "food court" style venue so there were other spots to check out if breakfast sandwiches are not your thing. The sandwiches were a hit pricey, but I think it's worth checking out!

Great breakfast after a night out! Only downside is the food took 30 minutes to be prepared. I…read moreordered the scrambled sandwich with bacon and my boyfriend ordered the Mexican with extra steak. Very delicious! Luckily because of the wait, they threw in an extra order of the home fries. They were nicely seasoned with a side of chipotle and cilantro aoli.

When visiting Orlando, my boyfriend suggested this place near his aunt who we were picking up to…read morestay for the weekend while we visited the family. We arrived just before 10am on a Saturday, and just beat the rush that lines up outside. This place is popping! Order at the counter and pay to have brought out to you. Beverages are also served to you, and you can request a refill. Very cozy place, and love that separately is the bakery so you can do dining, bakery, or both if you desire. What I Enjoyed: - I'm Not Throwing Away My Shot (Hamilton Menu): This scone was on the Hamilton Menu, which I thought was neat as a I'm a theater nerd. My boyfriend said he enjoyed it as it was not too sweet. The ingredients (white chocolate, raspberry, and blueberry) paired well together, and if we were local, he'd get again. - Oatmeal Cream Pie: This was STUNNING. Yes, all caps needed. I think this was one of my favorite baked goods since my cousin stopped her bakery stand selling the best oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. I hope this is both a staple item, and we visit Orlando soon to get one! Yum! - se7en Benedict: Loved the biscuits as it tasted like a true southern biscuit. Loved the cheddar chive grits that I shared with my boyfriend who also enjoyed. I'd definitely order again! Definitely check out this place if you are in Orlando!

The Briarpatch is definitely my favorite place in Central Florida for brunch!…read more Something to keep in mind for my visitors from out of town-- on the weekends, parking and lines can be pretty crazy. Briarpatch doesn't take reservations for brunch, but don't worry. I truly have never seen a walk-in line move so quickly! With a line out the door, and even sometimes around the corner, I have never waited more than 20 minutes for a table. Their staff is quick and efficient. Inside, it truly feels like a diner in NYC! There is plenty of patio seating as well, so I know I will be taking advantage of that when the weather cools down here in Florida! Looking for something savory? The short rib benedict is PHENOMENAL!!! Such a creative take on a classic eggs benedict; and packed with flavor. Sweet? The raspberry & brie french toast is my favorite thing on the menu. It is thick cut brioche bread stuffed with raspberry jam & brie cheese. I usually come with a friend, we get one of each of those entrees, and split it! I can never decide!! Keep in mind that the potions are HUGE. You can easily share with a friend!

You could genuinely taste the intentionality in every bite. Be prepared for a long wait on the weekends, as they don't take reservations, but honestly, once you get your food, you understand why. The quality definitely made the wait worthwhile. If you're looking for a brunch spot where quality comes before rushing people in and out, this is one to add to your list. Come hungry, bring a little patience (on the weekend), and enjoy!

We sat at the bar and the service was great. The staff has good relationships with each other and that was palpable and made it feel like we were also amongst friends. Their hot sauces are delicious! They definitely hook it up when they bring you chips. They gave me two different hot sauces and two salsas. So fun to try different tastes. Aesthetically, this place stands out. The ceiling is so high it's a dream. They host events in the loft from time to time.

Our waitress took our order shortly after we sat and she brought chips and salsa. The chips are thin, crunchy and fresh. The flight of salsas makes the dining experience fun. Our waitress continued to refill our chips and water throughout our meal. We both ordered the salad with chicken, which came fast. The portion is huge and it was about $40 for our meal, which given the size of the salad, it's reasonable. Overall, the service and food were great!

Coming back from New Orleans is tough, especially when this foodie ate his fill of fried chicken…read moreand gumbo. But I had an urge to find some fried chicken that is lightly battered and this place hit the spot. Located just off of Park Avenue and Fairbanks is The Hen & Hog. Got a 6 piece fried chicken anf a few sides which consisted of mac and cheese, fries and a pickled slaw. Juicy freshly fried and ever so gently battered chicken that was crisp with every bite. Definitely some tasty chicken. I really liked the slaw that had garlic onions celery and some other items but it cut through the savoriness of the chicken. Yes, i ate all of it to the bone. Wife also got chicken and waffles which she thoroughly enjoyed. Also had fried banana peppers with a pimento spread. Pretty nice combination. Staff was super helpful. They also have wings with a lot of great sauces to try. That will be my order for next time. Cant wait to come back.

We took our time scanning through all the options and I settled upon the cuban sandwich and my friend had a burger. You order at the counter and they bring the food to you. The inside of the restaurant was cute. I really enjoyed the live stream of the cows grazing in the fields. The rustic vibe fit the brand great. It only took a short while to get our food. My cuban was great. The bread was nicely toasted. The meat was extremely juicy on the sandwich. My friend enjoyed the taste of her burger. We both thought the fries had nice crispiness. There were several families enjoying lunch inside while we were in here. I saw they had a brunch menu and think in my next visit I want to experience the chicken and waffles I keep hearing about.

Expected a few cafe staples but there are sandwiches and a stacked breakfast menu available all day. I ordered a sea salt iced latte and French toast. It was yummy and so aesthetically pleasing. Minuscule point deduction though because they don't have real maple syrup but that's probably a tall ask for a coffee shop. This really is a nice coffee grab if you're in Winter Park. The staff are friendly and the cafe was comfy. Good place to get some work or reading done or just catch up with a friend! And they even have parking! Can be tricky in winter park.

The number of hexagons in the cute decor caught my eye! We happily ordered beverages (a ginger ginseng tea for me and a Chai tea latte for the mister). We also ordered the bruleed oatmeal and the scrambled egg platter. Everything was very, very tasty. In fact, the oatmeal is now my new favorite!! The extra attention given to plating and the customer service put our dining experience over the top. We will definitely return! We ordered Pan Sobao with cheddar cheese ($5.95), the All American Breakfast ($16.95), Bruleed Cream of the Day ($6.95), Chai Latte ($4.95), & Hot Ginger & Honey tea ($4.95). The "Cream of the Day" is the daily selection of warm, comforting porridge (oatmeal, cornmeal, cornstarch, or cream if wheat). Today, the selection is oatmeal. If you order it "Bruleed" it will be served with a crust of carmelized sugar and fresh fruits. The hot tea was the perfect beverage for this cold day!

We can't wait to try more of their menu items. Seating only outside, but even in this Florida heat, the umbrellas made it comfortable.
