Another one of those venues you always pass and see a line waiting to enter; Today, we decided to try the breakfast house on Fruitville Road. I read about the pancakes with real maple syrup. When we go North, we are in the White Mountains of NH and I know real maple syrup. I have a favorite breakfast venue with award winning syrup so I tried their blueberry pancakes- wow! Loved the texture and real maple syrup. My wife had the Greek omelette and loved her breakfast. Service was great- our server made sure our coffee cups were full and we had everything we desired. Will definitely return and understand why people flock here. They are about to move further towards I75 so fingers crossed, the formula does not change. Private parking lot. When you arrive, you wait outside on the porch for the hostess to invite you in and be seated. read more

We had a lovely lunch at the breakfast house. It didn't take long after our group arrived that we were seated. Cute decor inside with whimsical colors of chairs and cloth napkins to match. Fun to order soup and 1/2 sandwich., which most of us chose. Service was friendly but not sure how much was the fact that we went with local regulars. Could definitely see the "strained looking " smile on the owner that others described as fake. However, I'm sure that the work strain of a restaurant must be a great responsibility... The onion soup was good. Chicken salad and slaw were tasty. Turkey Reuben was also a hit. Definitely wanted to also try some pancakes, but didn't get a chance! read more

Exact breakfast I was looking for. My wife and I took her parents and niece here while they were in town for the holidays. The place was pretty busy, but that was to be expected. Definitely make reservations ahead of time if you are planning to come by for the holidays. We were sat in the back area with multiple groups pretty close, but not uncomfortably so. When we were seated the server asked if our niece would like a child menu (colorable) along with some crayons for coloring. Very nice to see that some places still go out of their way to make children a bit more comfortable. I ended up ordering their lemon lavender stuffed blueberry pancakes, with a side of eggs and bacon, and my wife ordered a custom omelette. My niece ordered chocolate pancakes. We all loved our food and would definitely come back again! read more

If you want amazing pancakes, these guys kill it. With saying that the food is good the service is off. I've been here several times and what's weird, it seems like the help (waiter and bus) are ex-cons. The way they walk around with out a smile and their conduct is very odd. I asked for a coffee refil and the guy didn't even acknowledge what I said, but turned around and two minutes later came with a refill. Just weird behavior. read more

The Breakfast House - Bus - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Sarasota, Florida

What a cool place! I loved all the vibrant colors, and funky vibe. I don't think I have ever seen so many friendly employees in one place in my life! Hands down killer customer service and their food was bomb too! We could not decide on one meal each so we threw in a few extras! I loved my croissant sandwich, my daughter loved her create your own omelet and she doesn't even like eggs... lol, my husband also loved his omelet. The holiday peppermint pancakes were also a hit. I also really loved the crème brûlée stuffed French toast. If I had read the description I would not have ordered them, so I am glad I did not. I think a different name might be better since they were stuffed with cream cheese a berry compote. I was picturing cream brûlée filling, but apparently that's just how the French toast is made. But hey they were delish! I am so glad we stayed an extra day while staying in the area, so we could try this place! read more

Thanks to some great Yelp reviews, I found this breakfast spot in Sarasota. This restaurant which is a former house, is decorated with a beach theme and is very cool! We dined inside on this hot morning, but the outside dining area looked great on a cooler day. Our server was excellent and the owner made sure to say hello. I started off with a Bloody Mary, then had the skillet special which was delicious! Other entrees we had included an omelette and pancakes. It was a fun breakfast with my wife and in-laws! If you're looking for a great breakfast spot in Sarasota, I definitely recommend The Breakfast House! read more

The quirky, kitschy atmosphere is packed with personality--plastic flamingos roosting on planter displays, colorful stained-glass fish hanging from the fence, and seashells crunching underfoot. Tiki umbrellas scattered around the outdoor dining area gives it a tropical, Trader Joe's-meets-beach-shack feel, with 80s hits and country tunes playing overhead. The small yellow house holds a few indoor seats, but we opted for the breezy patio, where fans kept the air moving. We went with the blueberry pancakes instead of the island version (filled with coconut and roasted pineapple) since blueberries are in season. They were good, forgettable--about a 3.5 out of 5. They don't serve lattes, so I had black tea with milk, which was a bit of a let down for me personally. My husband had coffee, and they were generous with refills, which was a nice touch. For his meal, he ordered an egg sandwich on a croissant with cheddar cheese (vegetarian-friendly). Nothing remarkable, but it was warm, quick, and again about a 3.5 out of 5. Service was super efficient but a bit brusque BUT understandable since the server was clearly juggling a lot. Free parking is just steps from the entrance. For $35.50 for our meal without tip., not too expensive. Overall, come here if you want quick, easy, kid-friendly, and predictable fare in a fun, beachy setting. read more

This is a cute breakfast house! Very Florida! I love watching the owner be very hands on. The food was delicious. It was very big! I got the stuffed crème brulee French toast. Honestly, could have done the normal one because this one was overcome with berries. But other than that, it was delicious. The service is fast and this is a great local spot to support! read more

So we walked to this place it was about a mile from the hotel. All I can say is don't pass this one up. It gets very busy after it's been open for about an hour. We went on a Sunday and we arrived just as they were opening the doors and there were already people out back and inside. It was a little chilly for Sarasota so we opted to set inside. The food is just as good as it looks. There's nothing bad that I can say about this place. We did make a note when we left that there were still a few tables outside but I believe the inside was completely taken and that there was a line waiting to sit inside. I would highly recommend sitting outside. If we had arrived when the people were standing in line we would have sat outside. read more

We visited the breakfast house while in town for a friends wedding. This place is so charming, the service was great, and the food was delicious. So delicious I forgot stop & take a picture. We had pancakes, bacon, biscuits & gravy. My advice is to get there early as it does fill up fast. read more

We drive past the breakfast house every time that we drive downtown and have always been curious to try it. We decided to take my family here for a breakfast outing this past weekend and were very happy with our meals. We tried a variety of the omelettes and pancakes and really enjoyed our food, but we all noted that the serving sizes were small. Additionally, one of us got the ricotta pancakes, which came with three pancakes, while another person got the banana pancakes, which only came with one pancake, and we felt like the menu should have clarified the different portion sizes despite similar price. After we left, I looked back at the menu photo I took for my review and noted it says 3 pancakes so either we got underserved or the menu needs updating. Other than that miscommunication, I will still be back as it's a cute little spot with good food. read more

Wow! Just wow! From the sweet greeting we got, the great service and the food everything was fantastic! My partner who loves a good hash, had nothing but good thing to say about theirs! The potatoes tasted like they were cooked on an open flame (a very surprising and pleasant change from the usual), the grits were creamy and smooth and did not need anything else added to them (I'm a Cheesy grits girl, so that says a lot). The bacon was cooked perfectly! Now the pancakes! We only got mini ones with our hearty breakfast, but they were spectacular. Fluffy and light but they also had a little crunch to them which made them perfect on my book! They were also served with REAL maple syrup (which coming from Maine, we recognize). Lastly, the ambiance of this restaurant. The outside patio in the back is nicely covered and beautiful. The inside is bright and welcoming! You feel like you have stepped into your best friend's home who is the most loving person you have met. Also the little sign next to the bathroom in the ladies room brought a smile to my face. The owner(s) truly care and I would come back over and over again. read more

Walked in on a Thursday morning. We were greeted by a lovely lady in front and were told that the wait was about 10-15 minutes. It was less than 15 minutes. 70s to 90s music in the background music was relaxing. Our server Ciara was very attentive. BKH Specialty omelet was tasty. Big hash breakfast was 2 eggs, grits, corned beef hash, house potatoes, and pancake (or mini waffles). I upgraded the simple pancakes to lemon lavender stuffed blueberry pancakes. They were so good, soft, and fluffy. Great food and service in a cute house turned into a restaurant. Highly recommended breakfast place if you are in Sarasota! read more

When we drove by, we noticed the line outside and decided we needed to stop. On a Saturday, we waited about 30 minutes and then were seated on the outside patio. The patio is so cute and it was a beautiful morning. The menu is extensive and they are known for their pancakes. Our server was friendly and quickly took our drink order. I am not a breakfast person so I chose a half turkey Reuben and a cup of French onion soup. The 4 of us didn't wait long and our food arrived looking very nice. I love French onion soup, but unfortunately not this one. The broth had no flavor and it just tasted like sweet onions with very chewy, thick cheese. My turkey Reuben wasn't very good either. The guys who got the pancakes loved them which is why I settled on 3 stars. I think I just ordered the wrong item. read more

Came Tuesday 9:30am, quiickly got seated in patio, cute artsy decorations everywhere and the dishes are all very pretty. Don't come here if you are in a hurry because they serve 'slow food' here. My two dishes took 30 minutes to come out; fortunately I brought a book to read (books?? what's that...) Most peole swear by their specialty pancake and I agree it's 5 stars. The other American breakfast staples are more ordinary (my eggs, toast and grits were just OK.) Also they don't do takeout. Set aside at least 1 hour of your busy life for slow food and some killer pancakes; it's time well spent. read more

Atmosphere - Nice. Located just a few blocks from downtown Sarasota, the restaurant has a quaint, country atmosphere. The restaurant is pretty small and on weekends the wait will likely run 20-30 minutes. There is seating inside and outside on a gated patio setting. In total there are around 15 four tops. Service - Very Good. Our service was very pleasant and attentive. Food - Excellent! I ordered a short stack of the restaurant's award winning blueberry pancakes with sausage patties. The pancakes are as good as advertised. There was just the right amount of blueberries and the pancakes were grilled to perfection. The sausage patties were also very good. I had a Bloody Mary and it was very good as well. Overall Value - Great! The prices are very reasonable, especially given the portion sizes and quality of the food read more

We finally got here for their renowned breakfast. Weekday visit. We parked in back among the myriad of small businesses and were seated promptly outside in a cozy spot in the shade. There is/was seating available inside on this Thursday morning but it's easy to see why there are lines on the weekends. It's basically a small home and garden converted to a wonderful breakfast and lunch spot with a deep menu and terrific food and service. Real maple syrup for your pancakes or waffles. Fresh fruit, healthy options and yes, the pancakes are fantastic! Go enjoy! read more

The breakfast house was something! Def loved the whole venue. ( it's an actual house !!! ) watching everyone's food come out was exciting because everything looks so good. I would highly recommend a reservation. Due to limited space. I loved the idea of the kids menu that comes with a bag of toys! Keeps them entertained. Also parties 5 or more will automatically be placed outside also due to space inside. Our server was very knowledgeable and super chill. We sat outside and def felt like we were in the backyard lol then also provide fans so that's a plus. The food was great didn't take that long to come out even if they were a little busy. And they also have Mimosas!!! ( limited flavors but still good ) read more

Absolutely loved this breakfast spot. We got here early on a weekend morning and had no issue getting in. We got there a little before 9am and didn't even wait 5 minutes before being seated. They have a good sized parking lot and we had no issue parking. The inside is cute, with each table being a different color. Each table also had a "theme" with different salt and pepper shakers. Our waitress was extremely friendly. We ordered omelettes and pancakes. Everything was tasty. The pancakes were amazing! Some of the best pancakes I've ever had. Can't wait to go back! read more

Everything about this place is a delight, from the cheery interior to the varied menu and great food. My fluffy omelette was overstuffed with fresh mushrooms, onions and turkey bacon...no rubbery prepared egg products here! I have a wheat allergy and was happy to learn they cook omelettes in pans, not a big flat top, so your omelette isn't sitting in the same oil with pancakes etc. The cheesy grits were cooked to perfection and the coffee was a solid contender on the robust side of a medium roast. I prefer stronger coffee, but I think most people would enjoy it. The potatoes with my husband's meal were seasoned wedges of fresh potato...no frozen shredded stuff. There is a ramp for accessibility, outside seating, gluten free bread available, and a parking lot. read more
