Delicious food!! My husband made reservations and surprised me for dinner. First time here and we…read moregot LOVED IT!! The vibe was immaculate. The drinks were great and the food was soo good that we still talk about it days later. He loved the bone marrow. Steak was perfectly cooked, tender and juicy. The cake was not my favorite at all. It took way too long to come out and it came out very cold. Not much chocolate flavor, too much salt. It was missing something. We will skip dessert next time.

I've been here before and loved what I ordered. This time was completely different. Killer interior…read more- I love a moody, airy space with good lighting and plant babies galore! Service was good though. I must have ordered the wrong things this time, and I was there for happy hour. The crab rangoon squash blossom was kind of fishy. I was expecting something that looked like or was housed in a squash blossom, but it was a fried ball of gloppy crab filling. I also ordered the jalapeño popper deviled eggs. It was a stunner, but this is not the app for you if you're not all about the yolk. It was yolk on yolk on yolk. I wanted something to brighten it up, like a pickled veggie or pickled onions maybe. I've had better taste experiences at The Monroe before, but this wasn't one of them, unfortunately.

The Diner is all three of these in the same area with many others who have so-so food, sketchy service, and super high prices.

The food - good & plenty. We will definitely be back here to eat again as we are staying near Sea World and International Boulevard. Don't let this be a "hidden gem" to you!

I had the scramble with avocado bacon Swiss and onion - best egg scramble I have ever had before. Their mash is absolutely delicious. Biscuit is yummy too.

We came in hungry after finishing a half marathon--and wow, this place absolutely delivered! We…read morewere a group of seven and ready to eat, and the portion sizes did not disappoint. Think flapjacks the size of your face--no exaggeration. Everything felt hearty, satisfying, and exactly what we needed after a long run. We visited on a Sunday around brunch time, so it was definitely busy. Because of our party size, we weren't able to be seated until everyone arrived, which meant about a 30-minute wait. Not ideal when you're starving, but once we got to the table, the experience really picked up. The staff was friendly, attentive, and checked in on us often throughout the meal. I ordered the Tractor Driver Combo to share, and it was more than enough food for two people (honestly, probably could have fed three!). We went with scrambled eggs, bacon, added a side of turkey sausage, and a vanilla waffle--everything was delicious and cooked just right. One small thing that stood out was that someone came around taking photos of our table and offered to sell them to us at the end. It felt a little unexpected, but I assume that's part of the touristy Orlando experience. Overall, it was a great spot for a hearty meal with generous portions and friendly service. If I'm back in the area, I'd definitely return and try something else on the menu--everything we saw coming out of the kitchen looked just as good.

I am a huge fan of this place. I think Orlando is not a great town for brunch, but then I go to…read morese7enbites on the weekend for breakfast and brunch every few months and remember that we really don't need anywhere else as long as this place is still serving it up as they do. This is one of the most friendly and welcoming businesses in central Florida, and I absolutely adore them for it. This place is counter order with full table service. I believe before the pandemic that you self served drinks, but the full service change has definitely been for the better. They've got a rotating list of specials that you can see on their instagram too. This place always delivers quality food. Their fried chicken is excellent, I've never seen an overcooked egg, their grits are amazing, their gravies are perfect, their biscuits are to die for, and their Mac n cheese is creamy delicious goodness. I haven't tried their lunch menu myself because I can't bring myself to not order breakfast. Between the Minnie pearl, three little pigs, seventh trimester, their specials, and even their sausage sandwich, nothing on a lunch menu could ever tempt me away. And don't even get me started on their bakery! Their bakery is a separate counter with cakes, cookies, handpies, brownies, and whoopie pies. Their selection is rotating and I've genuinely never been disappointed. Usually I have to take their stuff to go because I'm so full from breakfast, and it's usually pretty rich. This place is an Orlando staple and I hope they're open and successful for as long as they wish to be. I know I'll be back as long as they're still cooking.

Which is actually fine with me because that only means that i am able to have 7 bites more then once in a week . The service is always excellent! It's like a team effort to take care of the customers all the staff work together. The environment is fairly fast paced. Everyone working there walking around cleaning, serving food and being attentive to those who ask for something. Definitely a really good place to have a bit to eat with friends, family or just your honey. I know I'm always looking forward to eating there.

For the weekends when it's busy, you can add your name on the google waitlist before getting here so you didn't have to wait as long. Parking is easy. We will definitely be back and I highly recommend this place.

And was just friendly all together. It being our first time there it was just a really good time there. The place also looked very clean and tidy. The bad: The food was just ok. What I had was the fajita omelette. Needed salt and pepper and the salsa did the heavy lifting on the flavor of the omelette. My wife had the breakfast wrap and she even mentioned that she needed to add salt to it. The kids seemed to like their meal. So it wasn't a complete miss. But wish the food was hitting better for the experience to be a lot better.

This was the first time I was able to go to Homecomin' for Brunch. It is notoriously difficult to…read moreget a reservation here so we got there on a Saturday when they first opened at 9 am and were able to walk in. The brunch menu does have some unique items that are not on the regular menu. We ordered the Blueberry Buckle which is 4 slices of blueberry coffee cake topped with vanilla glaze, fresh blueberries and mint. We also got the Short Rib Hash. There is an extensive cocktail and moonshine menu as well. I wish there were some interesting mocktails too but it seems they do not have any. The blueberry buckle was good although a bit dry in places where the vanilla glaze and fresh blueberries helped. I do wish the mint had been more incorporated into the dish rather than just as a garnish. I broke apart the mint and sprinkled it across the cake and really liked the additional flavor. The short hash was also very good, with a kick that the server did warn us about. As always, servings are big so we took home leftovers.

My husband had the Peruvian shrimp with yellow rice, salad, and black beans. We were both raving about the taste while eating. They have a range of dishes from across Latin America, and lots of gluten free options. They aren't safe for celiacs though. They use a shared fryer. If you are super sensitive or have celiac, just beware of that. The staff are lovely, friendly and helpful. Conveniently located in the theme parks area near Orlando. You should not miss this restaurant. Try something new if you've never tasted Latin American cuisine, or try it if you've grown up with it. You won't go wrong and you'll likely be back.

Sofrito was amazing…read more We wanted something fast, but not fast food with a large seated area outside. This checked off all of our boxes. You order at a kiosk fast food style, but all of the food is then prepared freshly and authentically. They have a huge menu with all kinds of delicious Latin eats like sandwiches and platters. We absolutely loved our Cuban sammies which came on thick and sweet bread. My kids kept it simple with tenders and fries and also enjoyed! They have a big drink selection and you can find everything from juices to fresh cocktails. The biggest hit was their large indoor screened patio - perfect for my kids to run around. If you want to avoid fast food but also don't feel like taking your kids to a proper sit down restaurant than this is a really great option.

The interior kinda has a hipster-rustic vibe but with more comfortable chairs. Prices seemed reasonable. Service seemed a bit overwheled but again, I think the massive event letting out had something to do with that. I got a cheese board, truffled fries, fried chicken caviar, and a deviled affogato for dessert. My date for the creste di gallo and the olive oil citrus cake. Everything was was very good, with the standout being the fries; I know that truffle essence flavor isn't for everyone but it worked really well for me in the fry sauce. My dates pasta was also very good, the pesto sauce was zesty and complimented it well. And I really like the olive oil cake with mascarpone, super light and perfectly sweet. The very minor issues were that the fried chicken was pretty deeply fried and way harder than expected, which I don't mind but may not be your thing. Devil's food cake at the bottom of the affogato was also not as sweet as I would have liked. Overall a really enjoyable experience. Would definitely recommend.

My only gripes -- it can get VERY loud... like, too loud. Especially if you're with your Grandma and trying to have a conversation. Also, it can be a bit pricy and the items add up. Don't order an espresso martini with reposado because it'll cost about $35. The servers are always on point and I feel are knowledgeable about the menu and the drinks. Thankfully, one of them warned me about the espresso martini cost so I dodged that bullet. I love the wine options and there's so many amazing ones to try. Same for the menu, lots of variety and you really can't go wrong.

For food, my date ordered the steak & eggs and I went with the shrimp omelet, both served with potatoes and a biscuit. Unfortunately, my meal was just okay something about it didn't quite hit for me. On the other hand, my date enjoyed his meal enough to take the rest to go. Overall, the service and ambiance were really nice, but the food was a bit of a hit or miss for me this time around.
