We found this spot on a whim and when we saw the line out of the door, we took it as a good sign! I had an espresso martini, and one of their specials--pork belly waffle with eggs. Absolutely delicious and large portion that i couldn't finish. Located in a posh area with lots of people watching and a farmers market on Saturdays. A bit pricey but some of the best food I had on my trip! read more

Went here for brunch with friends and really enjoyed it. The food was fresh and flavorful, and everything came out just right. The soft scrambled eggs were cooked perfectly, and the French toast with fruit was really good. The atmosphere was nice and relaxed, perfect for a brunch spot, and the service was smooth. Overall, great experience and I would definitely come back again. read more

Briarpatch Restaurant - French toast with fruit - American Near Me - Winter Park, Florida

Short, sweet, and to the point Briarpatch is 1000% worth the hype. Seeing the long line down the block at first was a little nerve wrecking for what it might be like inside but it simple moved efficiently and quickly! Once we were inside the kind waitress we had was a hit! The food was delicious and it all came out so quickly! I will definitely be coming back! read more

Ok so let's start off you might be wondering why I left such a low review well the service was horrible and the restaurant was disgusting!! If I could leave a 0 star I would. The atmosphere was a 3/10 the restaurant was over crowded and servers were pushing past us while we were waiting to get seated to serve people, we had a reservation and it felt like we were the last priority, people that were walking in were seated before us (we were a party of 4). When we sat down immediately we saw bugs and flies everywhere I will give lenience on this one, the door was open because the line was so long! We were going to over look that but then water from the ac unit was dripping on my friend and I at this point we were at our wits end, we ordered our appetizer and then the drinks came out and let me tell you the other things could be over looked but this was just unacceptable, when the drinks came another member in my party had black stuff all in the bottom of her drink and on the rim as well. We were livid, so we all collectively agreed to just get a refund and the appetizer to go and leave, so we talked to our waitress and she said we could pay and just leave, so we paid and she walked away. As she went to go get our appetizer to go we felt that since the beginning we've just been pushed to the side. By this time the appetizer had came out in a to go box and we ended up asking for the manager to reimburse our drinks and the appetizer because we didn't even get to sit down and eat, she said and I quote " I can only refund stuff that hasn't been eaten" apparently our waitress told her we had already eaten the appetizer so we kindly tried to explain to her that we didn't eat anything yet and she motioned to our takeout bag insinuating we had already eaten, we told her we hadn't eaten and that was in fact our appetizer that we previously ordered that we refused eat because it was so gross in that restaurant. She told us they couldn't reimburse us and after some back and forth we just settled on them comping the drinks and we still had to pay for the appetizer we're not even going to eat because we feel like it was a health hazard, I also didn't appreciate them assuming we ate the appetizer. And after this whole disagreement we saw her go to her co workers and tell them all about us. Over all I have never complained about a restaurant before but there's a first for everything, just know at this establishment you are not cared for whatsoever and the management does not care! read more

Took my Mother to Breakfast this morning in Winter Park,FL at the best Breakfast Place in Central, Florida. The Briarpatch Restaurant has the best Pancakes I've ever had.

This was my first time coming to this restaurant and I can say from the service to the food, everything was amazing. It does get very packed and for a Friday at 12:30PM, I was little surprised. We did have a table waiting so it didn't take long and the food + drinks came out relatively fast. It was easy to split checks if you're with a party and even though there were a lot of people in the establishment, it wasn't too loud. I would definitely go again if I'm in the area. read more

Had just finished a conference in Orlando, and needed to kill some time before my late afternoon flight. I chose Winter Park as I wanted to visit the Morse museum and hit up some shopping. I actually found parking very easily, but it could be because it was a Friday morning and not a weekend. I saw the bright yellow awning of Briarpatch, and gave a quick search for reviews and saw that it was highly rated so I gave it a try. I was seated quickly on the outdoor patio at an umbrella table. All of the menu looked delicious, but I chose to go with the pecan waffle. One thing for sure, you cannot complain that they are chintzy with the pecans! The pecans are not in the waffle batter, but there is likely a full cup of butter toasted pecans piled on top! In fact, I could barely finish all of the pecans, so I scooped them up in a to go box for later. Halfway through my breakfast, it started to rain, and then it started to pour. As the rain began falling, my waiter came out and encouraged me to move to a table still outside, but under the roof where it was more protected. I was glad I did when it really started to pour. The staff was attentive, service was great, and food was excellent! It was a perfect start to a great day! read more

My friend and I went for Sunday brunch and we were promptly greeted and requested to sit outside due to the nice weather. There was ample seating outside, some covered and the rest with umbrellas. Inside seemed a bit more crowded. I ordered the short rib benedict and my friend had the chocolate chip banana pancakes with a side of bacon.The service was amazing. Our waitress made suggestions since it was our first time there. She also kept our drinks filled and brought our food out very quickly. Everything was served fresh and hot. The Benedict came with a chipotle hollandaise which was not spicy at all, but still delicious. I added a blood orange mimosa which was a nice addition to a relaxing Sunday brunch. read more

The service was great, although we were missing spoons. The food was good, but it wasn't our favorite meal. It's busy, but nice.

We came here for dinner on a Friday night. I was so surprised that we were able to make a same day reservation for a group of 8. Perhaps because the dinner menu is newer. Everything we had was incredible. The Caesar salad is the best I've had in a long time. We all had different dishes and nobody was unhappy with their decisions. I had the short rib with mashed potatoes. My boyfriend had the French dip sandwich (it puts hillstone french dip to shame) and we would both highly recommend both options. Everything was flavorful and fresh. I believe they change the menu every week so we can't wait to go back and try some different offerings. I wish we would have saved room for dessert. They had a good happy hour with $10 cocktails and a few appetizers -I'd highly recommend the old fashioned and olive tapenade. read more

For our next Orlando adventure, we were taken to The Briar Patch for brunch. Since it was nice outside, that's where we decided to eat. Our server, Juliana, welcomed and informed us about some of the menu choices. I went with the Spinach, Goat Cheese, and Sausage Omelet. OMG! The omelet was cooked perfectly, light and fluffy the spinach and goat cheese gave it just the right amount of tang, and went so well with my wife's Banana Pecan Pancakes. These were among the very best pancakes I have ever had, and a big plus is that they were hot and stayed hot! Thai Banana Syrup was so flavorful. My wife's son had the traditional Eggs Benedict, and judging by the way he inhaled it, it had to be good. He also ordered a side of two sausage patties, which looked great. His wife got the Southern Breakfast, which consisted of eggs, bacon, cheesy grits, and a fried green tomato. She raved about it. Juliana kept our coffee and water refilled so o didn't have to try and find her. This place is located on Park Avenue in Winter Park, which has several restaurants. However, if you love brunch, this is the place to try. Your mouth will love you. read more

This place is amazing! It was recommended by an Orlando local so my friend and I took a drive to Winter Park to check it out. We were fortunate to get in right away since the line just grew and grew. They didn't have reservations available until 2pm so we lucked out. The restaurant was simple and cute, more tables than decor, but definitely as needed. There was a nice outdoor area, but it was too cold to ask for an outdoor table. The service was wonderful. Our waiter got to us immediately, our water was refilled as needed, our delicious appetizer, fried green tomatoes was brought quickly with our breakfasts arriving soon after. Although a little pricey I decided to suck it up because I really wanted to try the short ribs eggs Benedict, which was to die for! The ribs just melted in your mouth, the hash browns were perfectly crispy, the eggs perfectly cooked and the hollandaise sauce was the best I've ever had! These guys have got it going on! My friend had the raspberry pancakes and could not stop raving about how good they were. We were unable to find out how they did them so well because our waiter said that they keep their recipes secret! If you are in the area or even close make sure to try this place! read more

Terrible terrible place. Staff acts rude and entitled. Went here for brunch with my daughter and during a severe heat alert staff refused to give water to our dog because apparently the owner has a policy of not giving water to any animals (which is awfully cruel specially during a heat alert). Other than that food was ok, nothing special and even tho most of the staff had an attitude out waitress was very kind and literally the only good thing about coming here. read more

This is a place I've heard so much about and actually lived up to the hype. First thing's first, the restaurant is a little small and gets really packed (rightfully so). If you're dining with a party, they all have to be present in order to be seated, there's also a small countertop you can sit at on a first come, first serve basis. The wait list seems a bit chaotic but the staff runs it very smoothly. Our server was pleasant and helpful. I ordered the southern breakfast and everything was so hot and fresh and savory. Not a bland morsel in sight. The bacon was nice and crispy and the eggs were fluffy and cheesy. I was pleased with the serving sizes as well, I actually had to take a to go box for my food and I left so happy and satisfied. I will definitely be back! read more

As Teddy Roosevelt said, "de-lightful !" 6 stars!!! This restaurant has a very cool old world feel. We recommend dining outside weather permitting. Our first time here for breakfast, and my goodness y'all. We both choose the Southern breakfast, 'cause fried green tomatoes go with everything! Each element was perfect. We have no doubt that any entree will be equally delicious. Impeccable service with a smile. Sticky buns forever!!! The ONLY thing to worry on is perhaps a bit of the lovely hanging Spanish moss wafting to your table. The street view of this charming restaurant takes you back to earlier slower paced tines. Also the Morris Tiffany must see museum is one block over!!! Love historic Winter Park! read more

This place has the most incredible food in central Florida. The wait time goes by pretty quickly, but the inside is a little bit packed. I felt like the staff was struggling to move around the tables because there was a lot of people. There were also a couple of flies that were just Swarming around the inside of the restaurant, but outside was extremely hot and we didn't want to sit out there, I do think with the place as busy as this they definitely should make sure that there are no flies in the restaurant but outside of that it is a great place to eat, and I would recommend it. read more

Wow! What a fabulous, happy, and bright atmosphere at Briarpatch Restaurant in Winter Park. I had lunch with my friend Beth and we could not stop talking about the fresh and tasty food, Also their amazing hospitality. This is located in the heart of Winter Park on Park Avenue so parking is limited but not impossible. The restaurant has a sidewalk veranda for outdoor dining and its menu is great for a brunch as they serve breakfast and lunch items. You have to try their chunky salad and I hear they have outstanding burgers too. I can't wait to bring my husband for his favorite red velvet cake on his birthday! Loved it, bravo, Briarpatch! read more

We ordered the Nutella waffle and cremini mushroom omelette. I wanted a decaf latte or fresh orange juice, but they don't have a decaf option or fresh juice which was a bit disappointing. But the two entrees we ordered were excellent. The Nutella waffle had lots of nutella and strawberries. The whipped cream tasted like melted ice cream, it was delicious. The omelette had mushrooms that were seasoned excellently and good amount of cheese. Overall, a bit pricey but great spot. read more

This place is busy busy busy!! But don't let that deter you from trying it out! I had brunch here with two friends and honestly we didn't have to wait too long because we were a smaller party.

There's always a line down Park Ave for the Briarpatch, and it's understable why. The food is divine! I truly feel this is one of those restaurant where you can't order a bad menu item. On this visit I tried the spicy roast beef sandwich, and I wish this were a regular menu item. It featured peppers, tomato, arugula, burrata, and a sauce that complemented the high pile of roast beef perfectly. Because this place is so great, be prepared for it to be jam-packed inside and pretty loud. I recommend requesting a table outside if you're able to. read more

Such a great restaurant to stop by when visiting the beautiful city of winter park. I went during the holidays and although they had a limited menu, everything we ordered was delicious.

I've had the pleasure of having brunch at Briarpatch multiple times, and it's been a joy every time! I've been here on my own and with company, and everyone has enjoyed their meal. Briarpatch is an American brunch restaurant located in Park Ave in Winter Park. The restaurant is very popular on the weekends, and long lines form to get a table. I highly advise making a reservation. There's a $20 dollar cancelation fee. Parking is limited, so take that into account and allot some time to find one. The interior can feel a bit cramped due to limited space, so you hear the bustle of people. Service has been great every time, with servers being courteous and friendly. My favorite thing on the menu is the short rib Benedict with spicy Hollandaise sauce. It's short rib on a bed of hashbrown, and poached eggs. This dish is so savory, you won't regret trying it. The Nutella style French toast with strawberries and mascarpone is so delicious, if you're in the mood for something sweet. They use brioche bread for the French toast, which makes it extra special. I once had a sandwich with short rib and scrambled eggs, and though I liked it, I was expecting it to be as savory as the short rib Benedict. If you're looking for something simpler, the avocado toast with egg is a solid choice, though a bit pricey. $26 dollars with the eggs. I would also recommend trying their house made desserts. I tried their carrot cake and chocolate, and they're both really good. But the carrot cake is my favorite. I've also tried their house lemonade with strawberry flavoring and it has a refreshing homemade taste to it. There are other things on the menu that look delicious and I can't wait to try. I saw so many burgers being served at different tables and it looks so juicy, that I'll make sure to try on my next visit. I can't recommend Briarpatch enough. If you like brunch, do yourself a favor and give this restaurant a shot. read more

First time at Briarpatch and was very impressed with both the food and service. I had the French Toast (plain) with sugar free syrup and breakfast potatoes, and both were delicious!! We (as a party of 4) went on a Sunday around noon and waited in line for about 24 minutes, but the wait was definitely worth it. Everyone enjoyed their meals, which were served in less than 15 minutes after we placed the order. As for the ambiance, the restaurant is clean with simple decorations, however they maximize the seating area so there's not much space between tables. Our waitress (Melissa) was excellent, she was patient and knowledgeable, she answered our questions with impressive knowledge of the menu item ingredients, serving portions and pairings. Overall fantastic experience and highly recommended trying their breakfast menu! read more

Easily described as the "creme de la creme" of brunch! I absolutely love Briarpatch and can't believe I'm only saying so now. If you opt for outdoor dining, you almost feel like you're in a European cafe. The tables are a bit packed in but the food easily makes it worthwhile. Of course there's the indoor seating area if that's more your speed. But about the food? I can't sing enough praise. Everything I've ever eaten has been delicious. It's elevated or a step above the other brunch choices in the area. Plus the plates are nicely sized! Today we had some quiche and very berry French toast. I love how crispy the French toast is and that they serve it with pure maple syrup. The very berry comes complete with fresh berries, compote, and mascarpone! Triple slam dunk! Because we couldn't resist, we also grabbed a plate of truffle French fries and let me please beg of you to try these! They were so crispy and fragrant. I adore BP and highly recommend it IF you have the patience to wait. They unfortunately do not take reservations and are always busy. Even on weekdays and off hours, I've never been able to be seated immediately. I do wish they'd start taking reservations! But the great food and great service brings me back! read more

Loved my first time at Briarpatch. The place is really cute, reminds me of some of the brunch spots in New Orleans. Our waiter, I believe his name was Brian was great, he gave us recommendations of how to enhance our meals and they did not disappoint. I had the Southern Breakfast which he told me to get the scrambled eggs with Parmesan. Soo flavorful. My friends had the Nutella and strawberry pancakes & the California Benedict. Both were enjoyed! I had the blackberry lemonade cocktail with bourbon. It was good but a little too strong for my liking. I would definitely return! read more

Brunch at Briarpatch was pretty nice today. Located on Park Ave, Briarpatch Restaurant is such a classic Orlando spot, and you can definitely see why it's been around for so long. I had to check it out. The atmosphere is bright, charming, and gives that perfect brunch-on-a-pretty-street vibe. The food is where they really shine. Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and made with quality ingredients. The portions are HUGE, so come hungry. The pancakes are a must super fluffy and rich and their benedicts and waffles are just as good. You can really tell they put thought into both sweet and savory options. Service was friendly and efficient even though it gets busy and (yes, there will probably be a wait it's that popular). But honestly, it moves pretty quickly and is worth it once you sit down. Overall, if you're looking for a go-to brunch spot in Orlando with great food, big portions, and a lively but cozy atmosphere, Briarpatch definitely lives up to the hype. read more

Spent a long weekend for my birthday. I had heard about Briar Patch and wanted to try. We went for breakfast on a Friday. Not too crowded. Got seated right away. My pomegranate Bellini was really good. I got the blueberry/lemon curd pancakes and they were fantastic!!!crispy on edges and just the right amount of tart. My husband had the pancakes with fresh blueberries and pecans . They were good too. We also went for Sunday brunch. Just walked up and had a huge line- we went inside and bar was empty ! Camila was server and was the best!!! She made recommendations for food and drink. Husband had Southern breakfast and it was very good. I had the French Dip and it was by far the best I've ever had! The meat was lean and tender, the onions were perfect, the Fresno peppers just right and the bread is baked on site. We will return!!! Camila went above and beyond! read more
