    I can't say enough about this place the food is some of the best in the city!! Best burger I've ever had! I love everything from the drinks to the cakes! 10/10

    Coco espresso

    As a nonlocal wandering and lost by Lake Eola, a barista from Deeply Cafe suggested we check out Briarpatch in Winter Park. They were rightfully packed solid on a Sunday afternoon. We got lucky with bar seating, starting off with the Coco espresso -- kahlua coffee liqueur, bailey's irish cream, tito's vodka, coconut, espresso. I went with avocado toast topped with smoked salmon. My partner in crime went with the California Benedict with home fries. Briarpatch serves up an iconic from-scratch brunch in a beautiful part of town that was unknown to us until now. The crew is passionate. This is a landmark.

    We can't come here and not get the short rib Benedict it's just so delicious. Briarpatch never disappoints, the service is great and the food is amazing. It gets a little tight in there as they really pack people in but it's so worth it.

    This is one of my favorite restaurants for brunch in Winter Park! In fact, I've stopped in twice in the last three weeks. I bought a friend from New York who was visiting and she loved it. She requested if they could make her a Chunky Chicken Salad sandwich, rather than the salad on the menu. They obliged and even gave her a Bleu Cheese Caesar salad on the side. Briarpatch knows how to impress as well as cater to the needs of the customer! I ordered one of my favorites, the Brown Rice Bowl and it was fresh and more than filling for lunch. Various flavored mimosas were enjoyed also. I went again last week with local friends as all three of us enjoy this place (and its mimosas!!) One friend tried the Chunky Chicken Salad on the menu (seasonal fruits and berries with zucchini bread sandwiches) and commented on the presentation (which Briarpatch is also well known for) and the freshness of the fruit. She especially enjoyed the zucchini sandwiches! Her husband ordered the Roast Beef Sandwich as it is one of his favorites on the menu. He devoured every bite of it and was very pleased with the tenderness of the beef and the flavor of the au jus. I ordered the Short Rib Benedict as I eyed it a few weeks back. It did not disappoint! Plenty of shredded, perfectly cooked short rib was on a bed of crispy hash browns. Two poached eggs covered in hollandaise sauce sat nicely on top of this amazing dish. It was heaven! Based on the above, I trust you can understand why I love this place. Outdoor seating, exemplary service each and every time I visit and food that is picture-perfect and tastes outstanding. What more could you ask for?! I highly recommend the Briarpatch!

    Short Rib Benedict with pancakes and fruit

    Briarpatch is one of my fav brunch spots and it never disappoints. Today we opted to sit outside on the patio. The server was super nice and got our food to us pretty fast. Our Peach Bellini's tasted great and for our entree we ordered the Short Rib Benedict with a side on Pancakes with fresh Fruit. The short rib was so tender and flavorful and the pancakes were light and fluffy, a perfect combo of sweet and salty. As always great service and food, and because of that I'll always come back.

    Went there around lunch time and this place was busy. Both inside & outside tables were occupied. But we were seated right away and our server Taylor was great. I noticed their servings were big as we walked to our table & noticed cakes in the fridge. I ordered the dark chocolate pancakes bcoz it sounded good. I'm giving my order a four star bcoz the chocolate chip overwhelmed the whole pancakes right away. It got way too sweet even before I poured the maple syrup & couldn't taste the banana. That was a small (sliced) banana by the way. And it wasn't chunk of chocolate but tiny chocolate chips. My niece like her order of the Italian dip sandwich. Next time we're in the area, we'll try different things on the menu.

    Short rib Benedict

    Haven't been to Briarpatch in over a decade! I wouldn't dare go on the weekend and battle the crowd, but today was my husband's birthday on a random Wednesday, so we decided to give it a go. We got there around lunch time and to our surprise, there was no wait, and we were seated right away inside. There's also seating outside on Park Ave, but that's usually the more popular option so there might have been a short wait for an outdoor table. The inside was more bright & spacious than I remembered. I started with the Spring Spritz (gin, aperol, prosecco, lemon, & strawberry rhubarb jam) and my hubs got a the bananas foster iced latte. Both were super refreshing & tasty. We were both feeling brunch food so he went with the short rib eggs benedict which was incredible, and I got the Gruyère & ham breakfast sandwich with a side of bacon. The sandwich was also very good and it has a crispy hash brown patty on it which adds some extra crunch. Their portions are huge! We even had leftovers. We would have loved to also share something from the griddle which they're really known for here (like their raspberry & Brie French toast), but we were just way too full. The service was also top notch and super quick. We couldn't believe how fast our food came out. They're definitely operating like a well-oiled machine which is necessary for Winter Park's top breakfast/brunch destination. It's pricey for brunch food, though that's to be expected on the Avenue. Overall, we were pleasantly surprised and I'm glad to find it's not just an overhyped spot after all these years.

    Blueberry lemon cream pancakes

    Southern hospitality? Yeah.. not happening at Briarpatch restaurant. We're just passing thru, I'm not even sure where we are. Winter Park, has a Southampton vibe with its brick streets and boutique shops. I'm looking for a nice breakfast spot, Briarpatch restaurant has 2000 positive reviews, it seems like a safe bet so I set the nav to pancakes and off we go. Briarpatch restaurant is beautiful and very busy. The four of us are seated and are given menus. Breakfast for me is easy peasy, blueberry lemon squeezey. The blueberry pancakes for me are a solid choice. My wife and her sister order chicken sausage. My wife asked for egg whites, not a problem ma'am. Our plates come out, the egg whites? Do y'all know about egg whites? There should be no trace of yolks, just egg whites. I'm not sure how no one saw this but the entree was dotted with yolks. My wife asked the waitress to send her plate back. The waitress said she couldn't?? Never once said: I am so sorry, can I get you something else? We're all hearing this banter, now my wife asks for the manager. The manager comes over with the same deal. I understand ma'am the egg whites have yolk in them. We still have to half charge for the sausage. What the heck is going on?! I must point out, the chicken sausage was the worst sausage we ever had, with waaaay too much cumin. Burnt on the outside and dry on the inside. Ultimately, they took my wife's order off the bill but she was still hungry! Just poor customer service but the biggest standout? This is not a cheap spot! I think the Park Avenue address has Briarpatch Restaurant thinking it's ok to charge a higher price? In all fairness, My pancakes as I posted on my picture, were cooked perfectly. They tasted great with no issues from me. No one needs a hassle for breakfast. I assumed I found a nice, out of the way spot while on vacation. In the end, I had to stop at another restaurant for my wife. Thumbs down from me.

    There's a reason there is always a line and it's because this is literally the perfect place to have brunch. It's definitely worth the wait. It gets super crowded, but nonetheless nothing beats the food. Cinnamon rolls 10/10- everything you could want a more from a cinnamon roll. Just enough frosting just the way we like it. Pancakes 9/10/ super fluffy and tasty Smoked Salmon Benedict 8/10 with crispy fries + garlic aoli sauce (upcharge) - everything's an upcharge and no substitutions allowed as they pre-craft everything it seemed like. They have brunch specials, there was this sausage hasbrown egg sandwich which came with home fries & it was super crispy as well. Side of hash-browns were also super crispy and delish. Fried tomatoes are a must try here if you like tomatoes, it comes with a side of a cilantro sauce.. California Benedict is also a great choice the Hollandaise sauce on top was delish. Staff was good, checked in on us a few times, it was super busy inside. Ambiance: Beautiful location, seating is a bit tight so for bigger parties, maybe make a reservation ahead of time. Parking garage just across the street on levels 4-5 free parking as well as street parking if you're lucky. Great location to walk around after as well.

    Had a tasty lunch here earlier this week and it was the first time I had their burger. My friend ordered the two patties on her burger and I got the single patty. I have to say the single patty was better than the two. A lot juicier and richer in flavor in my opinion. I inhaled the fries. I also drank a banana bread latte and that was super tasty! The server said that it was on the sweet side but I found it very balanced and not too sweet at all. This was my first time not getting breakfast and I was pleasantly surprised. The burgers are actually quite large so shareable if you're not super hungry. Outdoor dining was great. Service was great as well.

    Southern breakfast
    Addessa J.

    This highly recommended and we were pleased. We ordered Southern breakfast - grits was really good . Steak eggs - eggs and steak taste delicious and high quality proteins. And Very berry french toast - OMG moist , sweet and so delicious my favorite item . I can back for another visit on this French toast. I was also told you can split this half portion but it's almost the same price . Our waitress was attentive and recommended some options to us as well. The ambiance is a nice chill spot . You are able to have conversation just know you will be waiting in line to be seated . For reservations please booked week or two weeks out if are going to visit this restaurant.

    Meghan M.

    love the Briarpatch! Came back for lunch and got the tuna melt special. It was good! A little bit heavy on the lemon but overall a great meal! My sisters got the burgers and loved it! Service was great and quick and the vibe is unmatched! Such a staple.

The food was just as good as I remembered from a few years ago. It can be difficult to find consistency in restaurants these days, so I really appreciate that the quality hasn't changed. It's nice to have a spot like Sourdough to add variety to the rotation of mostly American breakfast spots. I ordered the Sourdough Bread Plate, which is a large portion. Even though it's listed on the lunch menu, I was still able to order it for breakfast. Their bread is incredible, and everything tasted so fresh! The ezme is a wonderful addition to add to the avocado and labneh toasts. I also tried the Turkish coffee, but as someone who doesn't drink black coffee, it wasn't quite for me. I would recommend it mainly to those who enjoy strong, black coffee, though it was a nice touch that it came with a Turkish delight! My only minor critique is that the staff weren't around very much. Our server checked in on us once, and after waiting a bit for someone to bring the check, we eventually just walked up to the counter to pay. Nonetheless, everyone was very friendly!

The turkish coffee was also strong for how small the cup was, with a little turkish delight to take the edge off. The bacon was beef, which was nice. Overall, the food was delicious. However, the service wasn't the best, there was about 3 customers in the restaurant when I went, but the server left all of us when we had to pay, leaving all of us to stand in a line waiting to pay. For a weekday, that felt a little odd. I think the food definitely makes up for it.

The manager came around so I told him the same and added that I had chosen this place for my birthday and was looking forward to the round and puffy lavas bread but got a pita bread. His answer: some time that happens. Sorry but for a restaurant of this level, they shouldn't let their signature appetizer leave the kitchen if it isn't perfect. End of story.

They are able to modify this platter to make it gluten free, and it turned out so well. The real star of the show was the chicken, which was perfectly seasoned and grilled, I can't get over it. The lentil soup was also good but it didn't come out hot, which was not amazing, so we had to ask for it to be heated. GF people note: the rice contains wheat noodles so it is not GF.
