We met friends of ours at Johnny's Diner at 9 am Sunday morning. Of course we understand breakfast…read moreplaces will be busy on weekends, and it was, but we luckily didn't have a wait for a table for our party of 5, which was a pleasant surprise. Johnny's is a classic, somewhat nostalgic for me, diner experience, the servers were attentive and the coffee was nice and strong but smooth. This reminds me a lot of the Greek diners I went to all the time while growing up in Western New York. Our food came out fast, and everything was good. I got the biscuits and gravy and hash browns. the biscuits and gravy was comforting and the hash browns were actually my favorite thing, they were nice and crispy. My husband got the Greek omelette and hash browns and was happy with his meal as well. As mentioned before the staff was attentive and very nice. Coffee and drinks were being refilled before you noticed you needed it. I think they handle the weekend crowd very well. By the time we were leaving there were people waiting for tables, but it was a very large party so that's to be expected. Just be prepared for that if you come at peak hours. The restaurant itself was homey and gave that classic diner feel. Everything was lived-in, in a cozy way, but clean. The prices were very reasonable and the portions were just right. I would recommend Johnny's diner and will come again.

A nice family diner…read more Breakfast for lunch is always welcome. We were greeted and told to take a seat anywhere. Picked a booth among a half dozen open booths, and a very pleasant gal took our order And then we sat. And sat. And sat. And sat. Odd that a half-empty after-lunch-rush place took so long to be served a simple breakfast plate of eggs and bacon and a BLT and sausage gravy & biscuit. Everything was good, especially the sausage gravy & biscuit. One of the best we've found in quite awhile. Would we go back? Yes, and leave plenty of extra time for the slow delivery of your order. It was freshly prepared. And tasty. But it took a lot longer than we're used to. Good eats, but be ready to wait a long time to get your food.

Very impressed. I loved the eggs Benedict and home fries. Far better than expected…read more Waitress was very sweet and helpful. Pleasantly surprised.

Cafe Perks offers a solid breakfast, served by nice people for a great price!…read more I was having my car windows tinted around the corner at Precision Window Tinting and needed a place to wait for 45 minutes. I spotted Cafe Perks in a run down strip mall, but despite the exterior, it seemed quite inviting. The crowded dining room reinforced my interest all the more, so I ventured in. What Cafe Perks lacks in elegance, it makes up for with charm and no-frills comfort. It reminds me of places I would visit 50+ years ago with my Dad after we went golfing in Northeastern Massachusetts or Southern New Hampshire. You went because you were hungry, wanted a good meal and staple foods. Cafe Perks delivers on those needs! My Dad might have called Cafe Perks a "greasy spoon" but one of the revelations about Cafe Perks is that my breakfast of scrambled eggs, hash browns and rye toast was not greasy at all. Yes, there were fats, but nothing too extreme (although the butter on my toast might have been a bit more than I would have used had I been buttering the otherwise tasty rye). Cafe Perks was clean and the price was great, at less than $10 for my breakfast (before tip).

This place is what I would consider a local gem. The staff is welcoming and friendly to patrons…read more The decor was charming and homey and it seemed pretty clean too. Plenty of seating. They have specials on Monday and Thursday which sounded yummy and at good value. We got classic breakfast fare and pretty much everything was amazing. The only thing that did not WOW us was the biscuit, a little dry and dense but still okay. I would highly recommend the sausage links. They were good quality, juicy, and crispy. The pancakes and French toast were also delicious. They are not crispy but very buttery, soft, flavorful. So if you like that kind of pancake/french toast, this place is your jam. Will definitely be coming back again. We were pleasantly surprised about the prices and the service was amazing too. Jen was our server.

Longwood Country Kitchen is an institution, it's been around for over 30 years serving breakfast…read moreand lunch to the local community. If you grew up in Longwood, you know the Country Kitchen. FULL DISCLOSURE- This is my family's restaurant - my parents became the owners over 15 years ago. Since buying it they moved the restaurant from its free standing location to the plaza behind it. The ambiance/vibe is as it's always been...COUNTRY!! Chickens! Cows! Funny signs, and even pictures of the regulars. It's first come/first serve, with plenty of tables and even a bar top if you like that. Our youngest son got a chocolate chip pancake with sausage and hash browns. Our older son and my wife got the same thing...Country Boy Meal...one egg, bacon/sausage, French toast/Pancake, plus a side of hash browns. They all LOVE hash browns! I got BLT on rye bread with home fries! The food was really good, not anything fancy, it's a home cooked meal. You should be full from your meal and might have some leftovers. If you're in the Longwood area, Country Kitchen is a great spot.

Breakfast @ the Maitland Breakfast Club, and it turned out to be a pleasant surprise! Our waitress,…read moreCindy A., was as sweet as apple pie and made us feel right at home. On my first visit, I ordered the Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal Pancakes with link sausages and a glass of orange juice. The pancakes were delicious, the sausages hit the spot, and the orange juice was... well, you know... orange juice. It did its job! The atmosphere reminded me of a classic country diner--cozy, welcoming, and filled with an older crowd, which I honestly prefer. One thing I really appreciated was being able to seat myself. That's always a plus in my book. Sometimes being escorted to a table means ending up in that one awkward corner nobody wants... but I digress. Overall, I had a great experience and would happily come back. My significant other, however, wasn't nearly as impressed. Oh well--you win some, you lose some! Sometimes breakfast is just a pancake split decision.

Maitland Breakfast Club reminds me of why the diners are an ultimate American staple. Diners are a…read morecompletely American thing that started in America as a mobile eatery and has transformed into what it is now, which are stationary eateries that feature affordable, filling food that appeals to the blue collar man. Fun fact, diners were started in New England region of America in the 1850s. All this to say, I love a good diner. I mean the American diner has always been there for middle America. The closest one to me and honestly it's definitely hidden away is the Maitland Breakfast Club. It's pretty much situated on the boundary line of where the City of Altamonte Springs starts. They have large space that's casual and what you would expect for a diner. Anyone can walk in wearing their Sunday best to pajamas. The waitresses are very welcoming and exactly the kind of person I would expect to invite me into a diner. We had gone on a Saturday afternoon and they're not a diner that's open late, so more of a breakfast diner really. Now I got the eggs Benedict with bacon and hash browns. For me, there are three breakfast staples I believe all amazing must revisit breakfast places should have. A good cup of warm regular coffee, eggs Benedict, and good crispy hash browns. I mean some places have other things like lattes and hash brown bowls, and I'm not saying those aren't good. However, when you nail the basics, you can do anything else. The hollandaise sauce was great and didn't split and bacon was crispy. The hash browns were super crispy, which I loved, and I could tell it had been made on a flat top grill, which is another very classic American restaurant kitchen appliance. The cup of coffee was good, I mean they had the sugar packets and the creamers right there. Overall, I would rate it a 9/10 and it set us back about $15 for just my portion. I will be back (said menacingly), Maitland Breakfast Club.

I only came here once. The experience was mediocre and didn't give me any reason to come back…read more I got the chicken and waffles with strawberry butter. I remember the chicken being extremely dry and the waffles being crispy and having no fluffiness at all. The service was weak too. Having to flag the waitress down for refills and not being asked a how the food was. The waitress had no issue attending to the table next to us of regulars, but ignored my party. It sucks, this location is close to home, but the first impression was so bad, 5 years later I avoid it!

My family visited Sourdough Bread House for the first time on a Sunday for brunch with a friend…read more(there were 4 of us). When we walked in, the restaurant was just starting to get busier and the staff seemed slightly unprepared for an influx of guests at that time. We stood at the door for a bit, unsure whether we were supposed to be seated, seat ourselves, or order at the counter first. If you are dining in, then they will provide table service. Once seated, we quickly decided what we wanted to order. My friend was excited to try their Turkish coffee and I was looking forward to trying their Turkish breakfast that I had heard great things about. If you love a good snack plate and enjoy nibbling on a variety of cheese, bread, fruits, veggies, etc. then the Turkish breakfast will be right up your alley. The Turkish breakfast includes cucumbers, tomatoes, bell peppers, a cheese plate with avocado and a fried egg, tahini and molasses, jam, Nutella, local honey, fresh fruit, apricot and walnuts, olives, zahter, ezme, butter, and kaymak. It was enough food for my husband & me to share. It's also served with one glass of Turkish tea and a basket sourdough bread. They're obviously known for their fresh baked sourdough bread and it did not disappoint. I can see why their bread is so popular and it was nearly already sold out for the day. While everyone we encountered was very friendly, the service was a little spotty, and no one ever came back to check on us once the food came. They forgot to bring the tea and Turkish coffee for my friend. Once we walked up to the counter to remind them, they brought it very quickly. No one ever came with the check, so we ended up paying at the counter. Not sure if that's the normal process, but it was unclear. Overall, we did enjoy it, but maybe it was just an off day from a service stand point.

Sally's Diner never fails me! Family owned and operated & the absolute nicest employees. This time…read moreDenise was our server. She was awesome. I love how they have daily specials so you can always try something new. They serve brekkie & lunch no matter what time it is. It was about 9am but I still opted for the turkey, bacon, ranch melt special and added double onion rings. I even had a Diet Coke! Live a little...am I right!!?! Everything was cooked to perfection & I had plenty to take home for leftovers. Since it was early on a weekday, the ambiance was quiet at first but filled up fast. The patrons are super friendly & fun to strike up a conversation with. I look forward to my next visit.

Our server was Emily I believe she was so sweet and we will be asking for her when we go back. The restaurant was very cute and cozy. It reminded of a nicer version of Luke's diner from Gilmore Girls. lol Also while we were there we were blessed by one of the managers who paid for our meal, we are very grateful, but we were too nervous to say thank you in person to him so hopefully he reads this. Thank you so much! It was a beautiful diner! My husband had the Philly cheese steak sandwich, he loved it. I had the steak tips with mashed potatoes, gravy and green beans. It was delicious!!! Especially the potatoes I love potatoes hehe! Thank you all again!

Enjoyed a valentines brunch with my love to start our day…read more Wait time was only about 25-30 mins and while waiting we enjoyed conversation with the Girl Scout troop selling cookies. Our server was amazing and she was very attentive. We love strawberry anything so we ordered the limited edition strawberry shortcake waffle and pancakes. I ordered my waffle with scrambled eggs, bacon and home potatoes with a coffee and it was so good! Ambiance was so nice as the restaurant was decorated for valentines and menu items specifically for the love day. Metro diner is always a go too for us, until next time !
