Went for lunch today, and got the daily sandwich which was a bbq sandwich, and it was delicious! You order at the counter and then they text you to let you know it's almost ready and then they call your name out. Strawberry lemonade was perfect! They also have a little shop attached called The Blueberry Patch and we shopped around in there and found a few things we liked before grabbing lunch. The restaurant side is small but roomie, staff was helpful on both sides. Lovely place! read more

Morty & Edna's - BLT no add ons. Sourdough bread, very yummy and large. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Lake Placid, Florida

Morty and Edna's is located in the Journal Plaza in downtown Lake Placid in the spot formerly occupied by the Good News Cafe. When Morty and Edna's owners, Joey and Eli found out the spot was for sale during a visit with family, they knew it was meant for their own restaurant inspired by this small historic town and their grandmother's cooking. Morty and Edna's offers American comfort food in an welcoming setting. You order at the counter and they take your phone number and text you when your food is ready. You can sit inside at one of their spacious dining tables or in the Journal Plaza at one of their outside tables. After a long day at the Caladium Festival I was starving for some comfort food before starting on the long drive back to South Florida. Morty and Edna's was the perfect choice. All of their menu items are made with seasonal, fresh ingredients. Joey handles the savories and Eli the sweets. After being in the heat all day I knew I wanted a cold sandwich so I ordered the Chicken What? a chicken salad sandwich on dark rye. I also ordered the lemonade of the day, strawberry. The sandwich was so delicious and the portion was large. I ended up taking half with me for the road. The cookies looked amazing. Next time. They also serve coffee, beer, and wine. I really enjoyed my visit to Morty and Edna's from the food and ambiance to the friendly staff. You can't go wrong with a meal here if you find yourself in Lake Placid. read more

Sloppy BLT is "the best breakfast sandwich" my husband has ever had!!! Overnight oats were creamy, plentiful & delicious with fresh berries and seeds. Blueberry Patch gift shop opening into restaurant was also warm, welcoming & worth the trip. Farmer's Market on Saturday morning offers fresh breads, pastries, fruits & veggies, flowers, honey, & local artist flare! Worth a visit!! read more

Was driving from Orlando to West Palm and took the long way just to go to Morty & Edna's again! Brought a friend that had never been before and he can't stop talking about how good it was! He keeps talking about it being the BEST BLT he'd ever had in his life. The strawberry lavender lemonade was amazing too! Hoping to make it back again soon! read more

Amazing brunch spot- and my favorite restaurant in Lake Placid!! Their bacon, egg, and cheese on a plain bagel (or sour dough) is to die for (if you're lucky enough to get it on a glazed donut, as a special, GET IT)!!! What makes the sandwich so amazing is their thick candied bacon (also available as a side). Best candied bacon I've ever had. There are always a bunch of specials for the week (rotating menu) and they offer a wide selection of flavored coffees (hot and cold). The staff and the owners are really nice, and I loved hearing their story about the opening (and no, their names are NOT Morty & Edna). The inside of the restaurant is decorated beautifully, and there's a decent amount of seating inside and outside (it DOES get packed though and will fill up quick). Can't wait to go back for breakfast, highly recommend going if you're even remotely in the area!!! read more

I love this gem in Lake Placid. The staff is always friendly and even when busy, the service is fast and you can still find a spot. I enjoy the outdoor patio to watch the butterflies and people. The food is always consistent and I enjoy the availability of healthy options. The avocado toast and frittata with potatoes are my favorites. The avocado toast is always crisp and not soggy, the dill adds a nice freshness to the dish. The coffee drinks are solid, my cold brew on my most recent visit was perfect! Definitely recommend! read more

My husband was adamant about me coming to this little town with him & I'm so glad I came. It's not very big but extremely adorable. I saw the sign for Morty & Edna's craft kitchen & had to try it. You order at the counter & the guy was extremely nice. I had the BLT with avocado & it was so good. My husband had the sandwich special bruschetta chicken...delicious. I also had the Apple Pie Cider by Cigar City & it was like drinking an apple pie yummm. We will definitely be back. read more

We go for their Sloppy BLT with egg. The flavors are delicious and go well together. We get the yolk runny so we can sop it up with the delicious bread! Their prices have gone up, which is unfortunate, but this sandwich is still worth it and it's a big sandwich. read more

I have been here multiple times when visiting my parents, and it is always sooooo good! I had the bacon egg and cheese sandwich and the flavors were on point, including a sweet and spicy bacon addition. My brother had the Lox bagel and it was awesome in presentation and taste. It isn't inexpensive, which I think causes some folks to go elsewhere. But hey... live a little! Go here, enjoy the farmers market, and have a nice Americano while you sit outside! read more

We were visiting family in the area and they recommended this place for the BLT. I did enjoy it! The bacon is maple cured and thick sliced, and then they put avocado on the sandwich. I was also really impressed with the kiwi spirulina lemonade. I've never had anything like it before. Very unique and tasty. I would recommend this place! read more

What a great little sandwich and coffee shop in a quant little shopping area in Lake Placid. Not a lot of options but they don't need a lot of variety since everything is great. read more

Our new favorite place when road tripping. Stopped for an early breakfast and it was so delicious. Everything's made with fresh, quality ingredients. I had the Frittata of the day which was light and airy with the best Rosemary potatoes. My husband had the Sloppy BLT which he said was the best ever. We met the owners and got the origin story of the name. The courtyard it's in is so cute with lots of flowers. We can't wait to go back and work our way through the menu. read more

FANTASTIC!! My colleagues/friends and I met on Tuesday in the middle between St. Pete and Boynton Beach. There were a few places in what appears to be the cute 1-2 blocks of "downtown" Lake Placid and we are so glad we chose this one! The place itself is quaint inside and connected to a gift shop, which we never got to. They have a bunch of tables outside, where we sat on a beautiful day. The food -- again, FANTASTIC!! They each had salads that were very fresh and tasty -- from what they said. Me -- I had the chicken salad sandwich on pumpernickel bread and added their bacon, which is to-die-for!! The combination of it all was mouth-watering and something I wish was just 2 minutes away rather than 2 hours! That said, I've got another meeting next month that will be a middle-of-the-state gathering and Morty & Edna's will be the call!! Oh, and the cucumber lemonade -- a winner, too! read more

Terrible service. Tourist trap. Nasty attitude at register. Oldish food. Don't go. Nice other coffee shop nearby is good. I appreciate your response but your manner was decidedly inhospitable. I thought maybe you had family problems or an illness that affected your mood. Hope you get a good rest over Thanksgiving and come back with a smile on your face. read more

Morty & Edna's isn't just a coffee shop; it's a memorable part of our Spartan race experience. It's where we found delightful food, invigorating coffee, and a staff that felt more like friends. We couldn't have asked for a better place to recharge and celebrate our day. I have to make notable mentions to Asia, who handled our order and also Joel chef up a storm. It was so good thank you much gratitude for everything. read more

Since they have no hood nothing is actually cooked to order ... there is no grill or fry ladders just heating ovens and toasters... so your order is pieced together... it's a little pricey and most of the time good but the menu gets more limited around 1:30 cuz there breaking down to be closed by 2... and they mean 2 ... they want your butt outta there... Owners seem dedicated I just can't understand this obsession to close by 2 and limited menu by not having a hood and an actual grill... read more

They're family famous for their BLT all the way up to Youngstown, Ohio. You can have a beer at Wet Dog Brewing Co. and Morty & Edna's will text you that your food is ready... read more

This was a random stop while driving to St Pete, and I am so happy to have tried their food. I had the special sandwich of the day, the Edna - roast pork, mushrooms, cheese, truffle and arugula on a fresh roll. It was damn good! Crispy bread, super tasty combination of ingredients. Husband liked his Greek salad, and you fancy huh was delicious too. It was $55 for 3 entrees and 3 drinks (lemonade, water, sprite) a little pricey but very tasty. I'm hoping we can stop by on our way back! Ambiance was cute, magnetic letters and chalk to write messages. Not many tables but we ate outside in front of the pub next door that wasn't opened until later in the day. read more

Very highly recommend a stop at Morty & Edna's, the food is phenomenal with so much love added to every bite you'll be warm and happy for days after!! Not only did we have the pleasure of the food, we also got to chat with Edna and hear their amazing success story! I had the biscuits and gravy with a side of bacon and was in heaven! Rich gravy with a homemade fluffy biscuit and bacon to die for! Hubby had the frittata that was loaded with deliciousness! Everything was so good we ordered the lunch specials to go for dinner later! I will forever crave the chicken salad! read more

Holy God this place is amazing! My friends and I came here and were immediately enthralled with the sandwiches being made so naturally we needed some. My 2 friends ordered the BLT with avocado and we each had lavendar lemonade. I of course stole half a sandwich so I wasn't left out of this magic. If you get the opportunity GO! This sandwich was incredible. I'm not really a fan of BLTs but this was so good- so much flavor and ridiculously thick slices of bacon. Don't even get me started on the lemonade. Also, the service went above and beyond anything. They were super helpful and explained the menu and concept. They also told us that the brewery next door (also 5 stars) had some fun things going on. The short version is you won't be disappointed the long version is you'll be talking about it for months! read more

What a fantastic sandwich! I had the best BLT of my life today and I don't say that lightly. I'm sixty something years old, traveled and eaten out thousands of times and this sandwich was that good! Here is the menu entry for your perusal- ---- THE NOTORIOUS B.L.T. Avocado, candied bacon, lettuce, Tomato & herb mayo $10 + chicken $3 --- Note, I did add the chicken, so this was a $13 sandwich. Not something I'd do every day for lunch but so worth it! Take a look at my picture.  The sourdough was grilled to absolute perfection. The added chicken was super moist, and the veggies were fresh. The candied bacon was to die for. The balance of all the ingredients was spot on. It was quite simply heaven on a plate. I see now why everyone is talking about it. Pro Tip- The menu here is extremely limited compared to most restaurants. Check it out online to be sure it meets your needs. Atmosphere- It's in a tiny plaza but I had no trouble street parking. The joint itself has both inside and outside tables. The décor is eclectic. The business model is fast-casual. Order and pay at the register and they will bring your food to the table. Adult Libations- There is no liquor license here but there is a genuinely nice brewery next door. You could bring your sandwich there and quaff a few while devouring this masterpiece of a sandwich. Customer Service- Was limited due to the fast-casual model but the three folks that touched me were very nice including Morty. Over the last few years, I've watched the restaurant selection in teeny tiny Lake Placid dramatically improve. This place is one example and if you are anyway near, make the stop. You won't regret it. I am very stingy with my 5th star and rarely award it, but these fine folks deserve it! read more

Unfortunately relatively few tables in this quaint place, but the food was creative and delicious. Several people making sandwiches, one person taking orders at the counter. Takes a bit of time but not long. Had the Barrata cheese and tomatoes on crostini slices. Excellent and inventive. From Wi and never heard of Barrata cheese, it's like fresh mozzarella in taste and texture with a creamier middle. As I ate it, I thought This is a truly Wi dish. My friends raved about their bacon and sandwiches that included bacon. They do a lot of carry outs on a weekend. read more

When in Lake Placid, this is one the places you want to visit. Nothing fancy just good food and service. Outside tables when not to hit, inside is small, but very clean and tidy. Not expensive and staff is very responsive. It can be busy, so don't get an attitude. Enjoy read more

Only 4.5 stars overall for this place. Come on man! Morty & Edna's is in a charming location with a very cool vibe. The only thing better is the food with unique twists on many classic favorites. The Sloopy BLT, which I had with "sloppy eggs" is one of the best things I have ever eaten and is certainly worthy of being featured on the Food Network. I topped it off by splitting an Edna with my wife, who loved her frittata. A croissant stuffed with cannoli cream, Nutella and fresh strawberries in just genius. For those of you that only gave it 4 out 5 stars, I dk what you had or your experience but mine is 5 Stars+++. My wife and I plan on making the 150 mile roundtrip to Morty & Edna's at least every couple of months from now on. read more

Went to visit friends who have a 2nd house in Lake Placid on Memorial day weekend. Stopped at Morty and Edna's Craft Kitchen for lunch. Unfortunately they were so busy, they were sold out of Living on the Wedge and Edna's sandwich of the day. So I ordered the Notorious B.L.T., avocado, candied bacon, lettuce, tomato, and herb mayo. very good. My wife opted for the Get Him To the Greek, quinoa tossed with cucumber, heirloom tomato, peppers, olives, and onions with a feta vinaigrette. Also very good. read more
