In the area with my wife for (more) doctor visits, decided to check it out only a few blocks away. Just at start of lunch, a bit busy but quickly seated. Our server, Katerina, brought waters and menus. Quite a number and variety of selections. My wife picked a Western Omelette with fresh fruit and Salsa on the side. One of the Daily Specials was Filet of Flounder and I chose that, with Rice and a Side Salad. Quickly my salad came, fresh, cool, crispy and delicious. Not long after, our meals arrived. My wife's omelette was huge. And just the way she ordered it. Plus the fruit was nice big slices of fruits. My Blackenedre Flounder was great also. Just wish I had brought my Cayenne Pepper! Blackened does not mean spicy to everyone. But the Flounder was tender and flaky and terrific. A very nice experience for us. Great food, great service and very friendly staff. read more

First time coming here, I wanted to try something new before I left the Tampa area and went back home. It was a small cozy diner that definitely felt like a nostalgic time capsule. However that was the only positive I will say about this place. I came in with a coworker and we wanted to look at a menu, the older lady at the front gave us a dirty look and ignored us at first until we asked again and said in an angry tone " for here or to go" my coworker didn't like that presentation and went to a different establishment. I stayed and actually ordered food because they had stuff on the menu I liked. I was talked down too like I didn't know anything Even though I waited some time for their BLT and some sides, the food was actually pretty good. I did take it to go because I didn't want to be in an unfriendly environment where I didn't feel welcomed. read more

Amazing food excellent service clean and comfortable nice atmosphere attentive staff positive attitude

Love their Huevos Rancheros!! This place is an awesome breakfast spot!! The service is great and it is a nice atmosphere! Highly recommend!

I came in early afternoon sat at the counter & the server was not really friendly & it was like it was a bother I was there . I ordered the clam chowder & asked for crackers, by the time she came back I tasted the soup & it tasted like paste !! I said I didn't like & asked for the chicken noodle. I waited & waited & she didn't come back so I left !! This place used to be good years ago not sure but I think it's different owners?? But what ever the problem the staff is horrible!! Need to step up your game no wonder there was only 2 tables in the place at the height of lunch time. read more

Delicious! Affordable and quick! Fresh ingredients, beautiful presentation. Will definitely be returning in the near future to try more items in the future read more

This place is always busy on the weekends. We don't go here a lot but I got a hankering for potato pancakes and corned beef hash so we went here last Sunday. We went later, after the after church breakfast crowd, so we did not have to wait for a table. I think the key to not waiting is to go really early or really late. I don't really like eggs so I went with the side of potato pancake and a side of corned beef hash. My hubs got the 2+2+2 breakfast and chose the potato pancake so I could have two (one to eat there and one to take home for the next day.) His eggs were done soft like he likes and like he requested, and his potatoes were well done, again like he likes and like he requested. Not many breakfast diners do his eggs and hash browns the way he likes them, even though he requests it like that every time so I have to give them props for that. They really listen. Also, the melon on the side was perfectly ripe. The times we have come here I always look some of the omelette combos but I always end up getting potato pancakes. They do have a lot of varieties of dishes though so I think everyone would be able to find something good. read more

We were looking forward to trying this place as we live nearby and saw on Yelp the good reviews. I'm sorry to say we did not have the experience we expected. We were told to sit down, a few waitresses walked by and never acknowledged us. We flagged down 2 waitresses and they didn't return to take care of us. We walked out after 25 min of waiting after seeing other parties being helped. We will not return. Bad customer service. Very unfortunate. read more

I absolutely love this place, it's always a go to on my days off when I can take time to get a nice full breakfast!

Something for everyone Small town vibes and regulars for sure Staff was friendly and inviting Their wheat toast was so thick and fluffy not sure if it was homemade but dang!! Proportion size is enough are for two people!! We definitely left with left overs read more

A nice little hard-to-find spot for breakfast on US-19 southbound. If you can't find something on that vast menu I encourage you to get new glasses. After quite some time examining the choices I settled on the Polish Sausage Skillet, and I was stunned by the sheer size of the offering. It is indeed a portion that is large enough to satisfy two people. Although the taste wasn't through the roof it was quite tasty. The service was very friendly and the restaurant was clean. Easy to recommend Garden Grill. read more

A good family place with reliable food, friendly staff and good prices. They suffered hurricane damage and had to close. We look forward to their reopening. read more

Great local old school diner with a very diverse menu. We enjoy their breakfast options.

My friend invited me out for breakfast. I'd not heard of Garden Grille (GG). It was in a hidden strip mall I'd never seen before, wen though I've driven by it thousands of times. When I entered GG it looked like I had gone back in time. It was a restaurant frozen in the 1980s. Nothing was updated at all, & I assumed the food would be just average. I ordered a feta-spinach omelette with country potatoes. The omelette exceeded expectations. The spinach tasted very fresh, the feta was generous & flavorful, & the omelette was cooked perfectly. I found it to be a really satisfying breakfast. So GG may be frozen in the 1980s, but the food is on point in 2020. read more

Crepes and Chopped Steak are to die for delicious! And the waitresses are very nice and prompt

The last few times we've come have been good but not as great as they used to be. The food doesn't seem to be given as much attention in preparation, it lacks flavor from time to time, and the service is hit or miss. We visited this morning and they were jam packed, barely a place to sit, running out of coffee cups (the waitress had to take an unused one off our table to give to the table next to us.) It was quite noisy too. As usual we were the youngest people in the place. We were able to be in and out within a matter of 40 minutes despite how busy they were. My corned beef hash looked kinda like they dumped it right out of a can...barely cooked...so I mixed it up with my scrambled eggs right away otherwise I'd gross myself out. My toast was odd in texture and had WAY too much butter on it. I finished my orange juice pretty quickly but was never offered a refill or a water. I'm not saying it's declined so much that we won't return, I'm just saying I don't think this is the 5 star establishment that it used to be. read more

I don't Know what happened to my review but it seems to have disapeared. great fish and chips on fri night. Bob & Betty we'll return FISH & CHIPS, Cold Slaw & Desert $13.99 on Friday Night can't beat the price or quanity. There's enough food you don't need it to be all you can eat. read more

We will not be going back there. We waited for over 30 minutes for breakfast eggs! after receiving our orange juices and they never even offer to compensate for those when we told them that we were leaving. Had to give 1 star to post the review, otherwise it would be a zero 0! read more

Good food prepared fresh. Service is consistently good. Nice that they open early everyday at 6 except Sunday at 7.

I would give 5 stars, but the menu is pricy and I really hated the constant interruption of characters. They do have a GF menu but you get a lot less than the all you can eat and they still charge you full price. The food was really good and you can taste the freshness. It was nice to try once but we will not return. read more

The food was mediocre. I had chicken Parm that was like it was frozen from the grocery store paid 1199 and they charged me an additional $.99 because I ordered hot water. I said twice as much water and a glass of water they said, electricity to make the water hot, I said the large waters have ice in them. They need electricity to make the ice for the large water no need they stood fast but that $.99 has cost them my business I would've went back from mediocre food for lunch after all it's just a café. But I won't go back due to the point of the $.99 for a cup of hot water. read more

Was just there about 10 minutes ago. We sat for almost 20 minutes without having our order taken. The waiter was cleaning, doing a bunch of work chores, then after she was done walked right passed us, talked to a new costumer that just walked in and then went to the back for a while. If you are here and are on any time schedule such as a work break or have any commitments afterwards, do not take the risk. I don't know the waitresses name but she's a tall blonde lady. This information is so that other waiters don't get in trouble. read more

Food, service and the atmosphere is great. There is a sign at the register that says "enter as strangers, leave as friends". So very true

Went for breakfast based on previous lunch at location and reviews stating breakfast is good. Had potatoes ham bacon sausage eggs and cheese in iron skillet. Excellent dish Waitress Mindy very attentive read more

The food here is always good. The service is usually excellent, efficient and friendly. So why the 3 star review... Well you know the kind of person that lights up a room when they enter. Mindy is not one of them. She is rude for no real reason. If you make simple requests she can fly off the handle. So if you eat here you can expect a solid meal. If you get any of their staff aside from Mindy you will get great friendly service. read more

Great local restaurant. large portions for a reasonable price. Love to support mom & pop non-chain restaurants.

Great place for lunch or dinner. Prices are good and portions are as well. My wife and I enjoy coming as the staff is always welcoming attentive and friendly. read more

This is one of our favorite restaurant for a good meal for a good price. Today for breakfast, I had my new favorite Potato Pancake Benedict. It has been on the special board lately, hopefully it will make it to the regular menu. It can get very busy but they know how to move the crowd. read more

Eggs Benedict and crispy bacon are some of the standouts here. Their biscuits and gravy are solid, but I'm a Southern Boy so I'm pretty hard to impress in that domain. Lox was fresh and flavorful. I like the slice of fresh melon served with the breakfast entree. It was a nice touch. I've never had any bad food here. The only thing keeping this from a 5 star is the fact that it's kinda rundown. Restroom could have been cleaner. Dining room was clean, but dated. Will definitely be back. read more

Went twice. If I lived in the area it would become a regular spot. Grace and Stephanie were the two servers I had: both were good. Particular positives for the gyro omelette, the spanakopita aka spinach pie, the fried mozzarella (real mozzarella and what tasted like handmade marina), and the rye toast (not sure where it comes from but it tasted like it was handmade). Nothing any of us ate had anything wrong at all. My guess is that everything is good. read more

The employees were cheerful and attentive. The menus was pretty large, but nice choices. Coffee was fresh and smooth. My friend ordered bean soup and a chicken salad sandwich. She enjoyed all of the food and took half of her sandwich home for later. I ordered blueberry crepes, which were delightful. I was served 3 crepes and took 1 1/2 home for later. The blueberries were plentiful and fresh. The crepes were tender and delicious. This is a very nice restaurant, for an informal meal. read more

Here's the thing... there are a TON of restaurants here in God's waiting room and most of them serve bland, flavorless food - but not this place! Garden Grill Cafe is our go-to breakfast joint. The food tastes great and the prices are incredibly low. Sure, you're going to have to wait for a table - but it's worth it. The staff is friendly and will happily guide you through the chaos of their dining room. It's packed - mostly with people who were old enough to vote for JFK, but don't worry, they don't bite and they seem to all know each other. I could go on and on about the food since they have an extensive menu but I won't. Bottom line is this - if you come to visit us in sunny Florida and we don't take you out to the Garden Grill Cafe - take a hint, we don't like you very much. :-) read more

I've wanted to go here for a while, but I've always been kind of ... well.. hesitant. Why? Well, it's kind of non-descript, located in a strip mall. I wasn't sure what to expect. I'm glad I finally went for a breakfast. it's MUCH larger on the inside and many of the folks who go are OBVIOUSLY very much regulars and very much family. There's a lot of love here. The food - I ordered Quiche. I LOVE quiche, and it was tasty. It came with a fruit bowl. I figured that this was going to be a bowl of canned fruit. I was -so- wrong. It was served in a small sundae bowl, but it was FAR from a small serving of fruit. HOLY COW. There were spears of pineapple, honeydew, cantaloupe, strawberries, kiwi, orange and blueberries. It was lot of fruit. I also got 2 meats. I chose one of each a sausage patty and a strip of bacon. It was a LOT of food and it was incredibly inexpensive. Less than $8.00 The husband got himself a Mexican omelette, and he loved it. It had fresh avocado, lots of salsa and cheese, jalapeño and other spicy things, it also came with grits and cantaloupe and a choice of bread.. he chose a pancake.. and it was good. The service was quick and good. We will be back! read more

Oh my goodness. We just got home from breakfast and I had to write a review. This little hidden gem is delightful. Huge menu with lots of choices, fresh, flavorful food, large portions (we took home enough for dinner tonight and left more than full), great service. Since I left New England I have been desperately searching for a diner type restaurant that truly does great food at great prices. I have finally found the perfect spot after an 8 year search. This is a bustling hot spot in Palm Harbor (at least on Sunday morning). People were waiting in line for tables. That is a huge accomplishment for a restaurant hidden in a strip mall that can barely be seen from US 19. I travel a lot and when I do, I look for the places that are hard to find and FILLED with locals. That is exactly what this place is. Run, don't walk, to this fantastic little restaurant where I believe you can get breakfast all day! I disagree with reviews that this is mostly for retirees. Lots of kids, tweens, teens, families and older folks. This is a great spot for any age and I would be shocked if everyone couldn't find something on the menu to love. read more
