I ordered a burger medium rare. My burger was brought out and I could tell immediately it was overcooked. The waiter went and had it remade for me. Brought out the new one and everyone could tell immediately it was RAW! I hadn't eaten all day so I ate maybe a 1/4 piece of the first one. Waitress offered to have another one made I said thank you but my friends are almost done eating. Plus it shouldn't take 3 times to cook a burger! She said she would show the manager and suggest the manager take it off. She brought out the check, The manager gave me 10% off. We were all in shock. The waitress went to get the manager. He came over and told me he was going to go ahead and give me half off. I said I shouldn't pay anything. I'll pay 1/4 of the price since I took a couple bites, that's it. He was annoyed and said "it doesn't matter they weren't right, we cooked 2 burgers for you." After my friend's and I told him what we thought of that comment he got mad and said fine I'll just take it all off. I said fine. He was very upset with us acting like he was doing us a big favor. The food and' manger were lousy but the waitress was terrific. The managers attitude was rude and sarcastic. Needless to say my friend's and I won't be returning and wouldn't suggest it. I found out after that the manager is also the owner. How disgraceful being an owner and treating people that way. read more

Excellent food, service and ambiance. I cannot believe the low rating for this place. I the Ruben was exceptional, husband said the prime was super. We even splurged for dessert and it was awesome! We will be back! read more

We have always wanted to try this local restaurant that we've passed many times over the years. Last week, we tried it. It was within walking distance to a business fixing our car, so we walked here to wait and eat breakfast. We were seated immediately, and our waitress was helpful & friendly. We looked around, and it is a large place, comfortable and welcoming. I ordered sunny side up eggs with grits and English muffin. Husband got pancakes and sausage links. We both got water, which was the only low point of the meal. It did not taste good, even with the complimentary lemon slice. The food came quickly. Everything was so good! My grits, eggs, and muffin were cooked as requested. So hot and delicious! Husband loved his pancakes, and raved about the sausage links. He wanted to know where they came from. He asked and they promised to find out next time we come back. And we WILL be back. I'll just ask if I can bring my own water bottle. Or I'll have hot tea! By the way, I have no food pictures. I was hungry and ate my meal before realizing I had nothing to photograph but an empty plate. I should have taken its picture, because I was quite happy with what had been on that plate! read more

Had not been here in a few years, finally went back and glad that I did. They now have a great outdoor patio with a bar. The food, service and atmosphere was great. The baklava here is very fresh and homemade. Very tasty. read more

Daybreak Cafe - Baklava - Cafes Near Me - Tarpon Springs, Florida

Great place to come and enjoy a delicious meal with fast friendly service. Warmly greeted immediately upon entering. Got seated at a booth right away. Enjoyed a nice hot cup of coffee which was actually really good. Diner coffee is really hit or miss in my experience and this place is a hit for sure. Menu is full of traditional Greek entrees but since I was here for breakfast I decided to go with the eggs benedict with hash browns. Came out fast and fresh and really good. Eggs were cooked to perfection and coated nicely with the sauce. Hash browns were really good as well. I managed to talk to the owner for a few minutes as I was paying the tab on my way out. Great guy! You can tell he's quite passionate about customer experience and making sure to deliver great food and service. I was a tad bummed that they didn't have any rice pudding to take away but they were fresh out. I can't wait to come back and try it along with my favorite dish (Spanakopita) which he admitted sells out fast. read more

The young lady Stephanie was amazing very friendly and attentive. Breakfast was great. we will return

I see some recent reviews complaining about attitude, but everyone was super friendly with me and my husband. It's a casual diner with great value for the price, and the food tasted good and fresh. Is it a classy place? No. Is it a good diner? Absolutely. Can definitely see myself coming back! I got a basic breakfast, and while it was decent, I found myself wishing I had gotten the fried clams like my husband. So tasty! read more

Great food. Staff was very friendly. Very nice atmosphere and there is a great bar and eating area outside. Highly recommend.

Always fresh with friendly service. While this is usually our breakfast skillet spot, we stopped in for dinner last night and had a wonderful meal. Faith was attentive and kind, making sure we were enjoying everything from start to finish. Thanks for giving us so many options with consistent freshness. read more

Nice restaurant lay-out. Convenient location. Lousy food. Mediocre service. Ordered a gyro, a BLT, an omelette, and biscuits with sausage gravy. The gyro was served open-face and the pita bread was stale - at least half of it had the texture of hardtack. Inexcusable. And inedible. The mysterious-looking gyro meat was obviously pre-packaged and then barely re-heated. It was see-through thin and tasteless, and the pieces of mystery meat were very unappetizing in appearance. The tzatziki sauce was a congealed, thick gloppy mess. It wasn't the customary creamy texture and most certainly was not fresh-made. The omelette was served cold. The hash browns were scorched on one side, almost uncooked on the other. Eggs are always best served at least warm. The presentation was odd too as the lump of eggs appeared to have been haphazardly thrown on a large platter. Not a lot of effort was expended serving our omelette. The BLT wasn't any better. The requested sourdough bread was also stale. There was very little bacon - the sandwich was mainly lettuce and tomato. Just a very poor presentation. The biscuit with sausage gravy was edible, but our teenager will eat anything. It looked ok for sausage gravy, and he cleaned his plate. Our server seemed very unsure. She admitted she had only been working for a short period of time. When we asked about some of the menu offerings, a short and very loud waitress who was walking by 'offered' her help with the subtlety of a foghorn by talking over and frankly rudely dominating our hapless server. We left almost 3/4 of our sandwiches and half our omelette on our plates, yet nobody asked us if we enjoyed our meal. Our wait-person simply bussed our table and dropped off the bill. We understand Monday service can sometimes be a bit sketchy. Many restaurants have their B team in after the weekend rush. But if they're open, and they're charging full price, there is a professional responsibility to at least try to serve a quality meal. And a restaurant serving stale bread is a huge no-no. Substituting processed and pre-packaged meat is no bueno. Eggs are always served freshly prepared and hot. Not here. If we're in the area again and want lunch, we'll drive on by this place and keep looking. We won't go back. read more

Delicious food! We love coming here with the family for breakfast or lunch. The staff is always so friendly.

This restaurant is hands down the most inviting restaurant we have found in Tarpon Springs. The staff are so kind and they make you want to return to see their smiles and funny personalities. The food is always cooked to your order and beyond expectations. We have been here since December 5th and have enjoyed this restaurant 4 times and I'm sure we will come again before we head back to Michigan on January 3rd. Please take the time to visit this home away from home atmosphere. read more

This new dessert is EVERYTHING. the ice cream, a Maple Bacon, is rich, creamy and oh so good. The waffle is light and fluffy. The bacon is salty perfection. It is $12.99, a bit steep, but well worth it, because it's so dang good! read more

Daybreak Cafe - This is a Maple Bacon ice cream waffle. - Cafes Near Me - Tarpon Springs, Florida

The whole experience was brought down by our waitress with a nasty attitude when asked about specifics on an entree. I get it you're having a bad day but your whole job is customer service and you ruin peoples experiences. Food was okay, the pork in the gyro was pretty fatty and cut up in big chunks kinda tough to eat. The water tasted like it was straight from the tap with the strong metallic aftertaste. Came on a Weekday afternoon with only 1 other party in the restaurant. read more

The best in Tarpon Springs for service , food and cleanliness. The owner is a great person I'm regular for sure..

My Spinach Egg Benedict were pretty good, solid 7/10. Although the place is so dirty. Why was our table super sticky, and there was things like drink decorations, straw wrappers after the previous customers left on the table you sat us at ?? They sat us by the window, and the window sill was covered in dust. I'm sorry but you gotta clean that place. Deep clean it. read more

Very kind, funny server! Made the experience lovely. We all really enjoyed our Sunday brunch.

Went to have breakfast with my girlfriend and halfway through her meal she found a large piece of plastic type material in her pancakes. The owner was advised and replaced them with French toast. While paying at the register, the lady that I assume is an owner said that she heard of the incident and didn't even offer to compensate for anything. Never again for me and I will be spreading the word. read more

Yum Who doesn't want a Flaming Skillet for breakfast complete with Opa! I had the breakfast skillet with delicious Ham, Saganaki and crispy hash browns. Love that they even light it on fire. My husband had the chicken fried steak and said it was delicious. Very lean & the gravy was well browned served with tender scrambled eggs. As a bonus our server Katarina did a fantastic job! read more

This would have been a 5 star review if it was only based on food. The service was terrible. It was specifically our waitress though not the others they were great. I had the eggs Benedict and it was perfect. I added Greek yogurt with honey and highly recommend it if you like Greek yogurt! My husband had an omelette and it was also delicious. Didn't get any pics because it was gone too fast! The problem was the attitude of our waitress Tammy. I wish we had one of the other ones. read more

I will never eat at this restaurant again!!! read more

Daybreak Cafe - Breakfast Wrap - Cafes Near Me - Tarpon Springs, Florida

Let me save you the time of reading a long review and just say, "Things are not clean." The surfaces at the tables and bars have stuff and gunk all over them. Worse, the pans are not clean either as you can see from my picture of my ham spinach and feta omelette that is brown in color. I was hungry so I ate the stale toast, a couple bites of the still cold/frozen "home fries" that come from a bag, and 2 bites of that awfully gross omelette. I paid the bill and left. Maybe they should ask customers at check out how their meal was, because I would've told them how bad it was and paid the billed and tipped all the same. read more

It's a good diner-like experience with decent portions and prices. Nothing fancy but solid all around.

I visited Daybreak on vacation after doing a Yelp search. Our waitress was nice, but felt like she was a bit more worried about our other tables all the time. I will tell you, that drink (I think it was the twisted daydream) will absolutely have you needing a water after. It hit me like a truck. Food was just meh. I wasn't upset with it, but I don't think I would come back read more

I ordered the chicken and tuna salad sandwich with a side of chips. The chicken salad was one of the worst I've eaten BECAUSE the chicken was so hard!! All these 1/2 inch pieces were like cut off of over cooked chicken bits!! I've never had a chicken salad like that and I am so upset!! I'm only 30 and the chicken was THAT hard I was not going to have a headache and a hurt jaw for a chicken salad!! The tuna salad is plain Jane nothing special. Is there even mayo in it?? lol The side of chips were the best things I got from there!! Freshly fried crispy lightly salted fresh chips..... oh my goodness!!! THATS WHAT UM TAKING ABOUT! That's why they get 2 * honestly. The other star is for variety offers but honestly if it's not good then don't offer it! The potato salad was hot fire! Very delicious tasty I didn't even need to salt it which is a first for me!!! All in all I think it depends who's cooking the food etc. I don't get why half the food is flavorless and the other half is seasoned perfectly!! Varies!! read more

unbelievable how rude the women at front desk and bar are. they don't inform you on how long things will take. and if you've been waiting for 20 mins and decide to ask a second time how long will it takes. your met with attitude as if I told them to work at a place where they are angry throughout their day read more

Service: 0 - The restaurant is the size of a Carrabas and it is serviced by two over-worked waitresses Ambiance: 4 - 80s pop music a little louder than you'd expect, but fun Decor: 4 - Better than I was expecting. No consistent theme but they tried and everything is clean and looks intentional. Location: 5 - Close to where I am so it gets a 5 Food: 5 - Excellent and good portion sizes read more
