You know they are a good breakfast spot when people are waiting at 6:15 for doors to open. We had breakfast here a few years ago and enjoyed it; wanted to go back but we don't eat breakfast often. Prices were higher this time, understandably. They are still better priced on a basic breakfast than other places nearby. I wanted to try their eggs Benedict even though I've only ever had it maybe 2-3 times in my life! I'm not a good person to judge since I'm not really sure what hollandaise should taste like! It was more tangy tart than I expected. The eggs were cooked the way they should be and the ham was thick. In my memory, it should've had a stronger ham flavor, as I think Canadian bacon is the traditional meat and I was hoping for that. But even eating a piece of the thick ham by itself, I couldn't taste a salty smoked ham flavor. While I found that disappointing, I couldn't take a star away because visually it looked great, and I imagine a lot of people would love to see that thick slice of ham even if it is too mild! Don't judge it by my photo because I broke my yolks and stirred them up before I remembered to take a photo. The grits (my choice of side) were just like I like them. My husband got a 2 eggs breakfast with home fries (?) sausage and toast. It was a full plate of food and he enjoyed it. They have home made strawberry jam (yum!) and I will for sure get breakfast with toast or biscuits next time just so I can have some of that jam. I did put a little bit of jam on a couple bites of my English muffin from under my Benedict. The coffee mug was tall so my husband appreciated that; and the friendly & attentive server, Melissa, filled it before empty, as needed. We will be back "sooner than later" hopefully, because there's more I want to try on their menu. I do recommend going here for breakfast especially if you are an early bird or find yourself out and about very early for some reason like we were, and need a breakfast. I think they might get crowded quickly, so early is better. Note that their hours were not accurate on the iPhone maps app - I submitted correct hours and it's pending approval. However I used the website hours and one of their days I think it was Sunday - was showing closed at 1 but it's actually 1:30. read more

I am truly perplexed that the reviews are any good here. Omelette was flavorless, hashbrowns barely touched the grill even though extra crispy was requested. Toast wasn't even toasted it was like soggy bread. Even the coffee was awful. Ambience sucked. I wouldn't go here if it was the only thing open on Tamiami Trail. Worse than prison food. read more

Excellent food, and our waitress was fabulous. Great place for breakfast!! Will definitely be going back there again!

This has become one of our favorite restaurants in the area. Today we had a lunch special and a breakfast. Both were delicious. The meatloaf was very good and came with a bbq glaze and some bbq sauce on the two slices. The mashed potatoes are real, you can tell because they leave the skins on! My wife also had an order of the potato pancakes with applesauce. Those were fabulous! Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, done beautifully. They also provide a small bowl of applesauce which was very good and we appreciated the amount. I had tow biscuits with gravy, two scrambled eggs, and hash browns. In my opinion, they have the best biscuits and gravy in the area. Gravy has plenty of flavor and the biscuits are soft and flaky on the inside, yum. Chasity was our server and she was fantastic! Got our order right, checked back to make sure everything was good, and offered good conversation. read more

What an incredible find!! I can't believe we just found this gem. From the moment we walked in we were greeted warmly. There were many regulars which is always a great sign. The food is fresh made, such as meatloaf. And the specials are actually special! They are also very accommodating when it comes to requests. My husband wanted to have the special lobster omelet as a Benedict and they delivered!!! I love that they do breakfast all day. Can't wait to go back. read more

Open for breakfast and lunch but mainly served breakfast on Sundays. Great food, very friendly service. Very casual, family oriented. You will not be disappointed! read more

This place felt like home. The second that you walked in, you can see all the locals support this great. Food establishment, it is always great when we can support local businesses. we were greeted with a smile and seated immediately. No less than 1 minute later, we had this massive large cup of coffee at our table. It was delicious. shortly after we had our meal on our table, both ordered the western omelet, it was done perfectly.They used real eggs. ambiance felt very nice. I'm not gonna say it was quiet because there was a lot of people, but it felt like eating with your neighbor per se. We would definitely come back. read more

Worse place in the world Don't go Was way over charged 48.00 for breakfast for 3 Will never go again read more

Food was delicious, obvious everything cooked fresh. We got Phili cheesesteak omelette with hash browns 2eggs, bacon, ham and sausage It was all wonderful Service was great, we had Jackie as our waitress, she was friendly and smiled. All the waitresses were smiling while serving and even when working the drink area. Place is clean, VERY clean, bright and welcoming. What a great spot, so glad we came to try them out. I prefer to visit locally owned small businesses and this will be my new Sunday AM breakfast stop! read more

Busy place and there's a reason for that. Food is excellent. I had the country fried steak and eggs. Steak had good flavor and the hash browns were on point. Service was fast and friendly. Prices were fair. read more

Fantastic little gem, hidden within a nondescript strip mall. Super bright and clean with service from servers with equally sunny dispositions. This place is very popular with locals and repeat customers, thanks to the delicious meals, reasonable prices and excellent service. Take the time to look for it because the sign is rather small and the little strip mall is somewhat hidden from Tamiami Trail. read more

Worth checking out and supporting this locally owned business I always like walking into a new place and receiving a friendly greeting. I guess I arrived late enough where they were asking whether I wanted breakfast or lunch. Definitely breakfast. Coffee soon followed as I looked over the menu. They offer a Benedict that is made with corned beef hash and a creamy hollandaise sauce. That made it an easy choice. In just under 10 minutes the food arrived. I sampled the sauce, and it was excellent. The eggs were cooked perfectly. I took my time and enjoyed my Irish Benedict with a side of Hash Browns. My server checked on me and topped off my coffee a couple of times. Located in a strip mall, Hometown Grill has a dining area with several tables in the front and a hallway lined with more tables heading to the back. Parking is close and prices inexpensive. All in all it was a very good visit. read more

Hometown Grill - Irish Benedict - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Port Charlotte, Florida

Yummy!!!! You would miss this restaurant if you're not looking, but look for it !!! Tucked in a strip mall, and walk inside to a bright sunny spot. Lots to choose from on the menu, food can out quick, hot and huge portions. I had the eggs Benedict, the eggs poached perfectly with good tasting sauce. Others had pancakes with homemade sausage gravy, delicious and your regular eggs and bacon. In the list to return to when we're in the area again ! read more

This was a diner environment. We went in for the breakfast. Not bad. Diner food. Staff was attentive. Good prices. We would probably go back if we were in the area again. read more

This is definitely a local diner with spot on service. The server was friendly and funny. She was buzzing around her station the whole time making sure each of her tables had plenty of coffee, napkins, and water. The breakfast is the usual diner options, nothing fancy, just a simple breakfast at a great price. We spotted in on our Sunday drive, and were able to get seated immediately. The diner is located inside a strip mall and nothing fancy, but the place is bigger than it appears and has a front and back entrance. As we waited for our food to arrive, we noted several mature couples arriving, all seem to know the staff. Tables got buzzing quickly, and the food kept coming out from the back. We had a western omelette that was good with the home fries and toast. The coffee was hot and remained full. Again the service was on point. My husband had a pancake special that he enjoyed with some sausage links. Don't expect fancy creations, just a real home cooked breakfast and you will not be disappointed. Overall, a good spot for the local flair and a great price. read more

Eh, it's a 2 1/2, could be worse. Went because I saw on Facebook they had a brownie waffle and it looked amazing. For the waffle alone it cost $9.50. Upon first look it was beautiful. However, looking closer and eating it, it needed to be more done. Furthermore, we're not talking about a thick Belgium waffle. It was thin and skinny (think Waffle House size but slightly smaller). There was a generous amount of brownie crumble and whipped topping. The brownies were just on top though, not in the waffle itself. The taste of the waffle over all was 7/10. I also ordered a side of bacon. The bacon was 3 small and thin pieces for $4. I understand inflation, but that's crazy. The bacon was good, but nothing special. I also ordered a fountain drink. The cost with their 3.2% card fee came to $18 before tip for one person! All I had was a waffle, bacon, and a drink. There are too many other local places to go to nearby with better value. read more

Good food very reasonable prices and wonderful friendly wait staff! Enjoyed the experience very much.

Traveling on our way home looking for a place to have breakfast. Saw the ratings and decided to give it a try. Great way to go!!!! Hometown Grill staff was super friendly. Food was FANTASTIC and the portions generous. A true gem. read more

This is a great breakfast spot. food and prices reasonable! The service is always great.

One of our favorite breakfast spots. We've never had a bad meal here. The staff is always friendly and attentive.

This was our first time here and we ordered breakfast. The place was clean and bright! One of the first things we noticed. We sat down and we're immediately greeted by the friendly staff. The service was outstanding. One thing I noticed was that our server did not have a name tag, but regulars knew her name. I wish they had a name tag. I like to call people by name rather than the impersonal Ms or sir. The food was good. It was served hot and fast. We would certainly be back again if we get the chance. Their menu was very well laid out. Coffee was hot and strong. Pretty much good stuff when you are at a diner. Check them out! read more

We have lived in Port Charlotte since 2020 but only found Hometown Grill in May of this year... and have been there countless times ever since. Not only is the food reasonably priced and serving size is adequate to satisfy a big appetite, but food is actually tasty. The service is quick and friendly, but the server who really stands out is Chastity. Don't let her slim frame fool you---she is full of charming friendliness and sunshine at any time of the day! They also have a daily special on weekdays that comes with your choice of refillable coffee or other drinks for just a little over $7.00. Price, food value, service, cleanliness---you can have all these at Hometone Grill, our favorite breakfast to lunch resto. It comes as no surprise that this unassuming but spanking clean restaurant is a favorite among the locals. read more

Very basic but good food. Price was high. $50.00 for two people is a lot for breakfast.

Happen to be in the area and I was looking for some breakfast. Found hometown grill. I had corned beef hash and eggs. Nothing fancy, just a good hardy breakfast with reat friendly service. Eggs were cooked the way I asked and surprisingly at reasonable prices. I would return next time I am in the area. read more

Our server Britney was awesome! She was quick, cordial, and friendly. Making sure we were getting just what we ordered. Had the Chicken Biscuits with eggs. Fried chicken tenders atop flakey homemade biscuits with homestyle gravy. Eggs were perfectly poached. Only reason not five stars was because the homefries were not up to par. read more

When I came down to visit my family four years ago right before COVID. I went to have breakfast. The owner greeted me, noticed my NY accent, told me she was from NY and welcomed me with open arms and said now your name is New York. I'm back in my second home state and county where I've seen grow for the last 28 years. I'm going to have my NY breakfast from the place where I felt like home and welcomed. This will be my only breakfast spot outside of my mom's kitchen as now she resides in the county since August 2023 read more

Gilding the Lilly generally means going to excess on something that is already exceptional. This place's rating is almost a 5 so I'm not sure what I can add other than high compliments for the people wo work there. They are exceptionally friendly and accommodating. We usually visit P.C. about once a year and always make it a point to have breakfast here at least one morning. All small business owners who have employees who interact with the public should visit this place to see just how important pleasant employees are to building a business. You can be a plumber, sell auto parts over a counter, or welcome people to a showroom. It's all the same. Good people make all the difference. read more

Service was friendly and accommodating. Everything was flavorful except for the home fries and hash browns which needed more seasoning. Toast was not that toasty. I got the Spanish omelet and my hubby got the Mediterranean and they were both tasty. There are no turkey sausage options. My daughter got the double decker with a croissant. She thoroughly enjoyed it! My son got the corn beef hash Benedict and the eggs were cooked to perfection. Overall, we had a good experience and would visit again if we are in the area especially because their prices were reasonable. read more

I'm glad we wandered in to this sweet little place. It appears to be a place frequented by the locals (hence the name) but I am sure that all are welcome. It's super neat and clean, well decorated and bright and cheery. The food is not fancy but very good and reasonably priced. Good coffee. Great service!. This one checks all the boxes for breakfast out. We shall see you again, Hometown Grill!! read more

From start to finish this was a great experience. Our server was friendly and helpful. The food (and her recommendations) were fantastic. I ordered the biscuits and gravy and loved it. It had the right amount of pepper, chock full of sausage, and just tasted fantastic. I was torn between the hash browns and the grits...which I love, but hate being disappointed. Our server was from Georgia and told me both were good, but if I liked grits, I'd love these. And then told me to get them with cheese. Unlike some places that sprinkle shredded cheese on top and try to pass them off as cheese grits, these folks blended the cheese in so seamlessly it was part of the grits and it made my mouth so happy. I'll definitely be back to try more menu items. read more
