We loved this little diner and apparently other people do too! We had a short wait on a weekday morning, but it was worth it. Our waiter was very friendly and our order came out hot and in a reasonable amount of time. Will be back again when we are in the area. read more

This place is bomb and totally worth the wait. The portions are huge and the flavor is on point. I highly recommend the cannoli French toast. And we found this place because we were going to go to Friendly's but they didn't open until 11am. And no, we were not disappointed. In fact, we would go here again but it isn't in The cards before we fly home. Don't let the strip mall fool you because this was no chain garbage. I mean every thing off the menu we got was really good. Plus it's within walking distance from the Vista Cay air bnb we found and if given the opportunity, I would stay here again. read more

Excellent place for breakfast or brunch if you're in the area. I was headed to Universal Studios with my family and we decided to stop here first. Service was friendly and attentive. The space is clean and spacious. And most importantly the food was delicious and fresh. Portions are tremendous and dishes are easily shareable. The menu has all the basics but also has some indulgent items too. Fruity pebble pancakes anyone? They also have alcohol. Prices are reasonable considering the portion sizes. There is plenty of free parking in the lot. Definitely go! read more

Worth the wait. Plan ahead! We went to brunch at 12:30 on Sunday and waited 40 minutes to be sat. Omelette, gf waffles, coffee, hot cocoa, crispy bacon, potatoes! All delicious! Staff is always friendly & super busy, they know how to get things done. read more

Looked up this brunch spot as I was in town and read some really amazing reviews, we waited about an hour and 20 minutes to be seated which was fine considering it was around 11:30am and busy weekend. Hands down the best mimosas I have tasted at a brunch spot! I loved all the flavor and our waiter was extremely helpful and would surprise us with different flavor mimosas every-time! However the reason I am giving this a 3 star is for the food taste. I ordered the sunrise tacos which is 13.99 for 2 tacos that were pretty bland tasting if it was not for the garlic sauce on the side it would taste like nothing. The fries were nicely seasoned but very stale. The sprinkle pancakes was suppose to come with condensed milk and powdered sugar but honestly they just tasted like McDonald's pancakes with sprinkles, they had no syrup or flavor what's o ever. Maybe I just did picked the wrong menu items! I would probably give this place another shot just because of the bottomless mimosas! read more

I'd give this spot a solid 3.5 stars, yelp only lets you do full stars and I'm just not comfortable going up that much. Food was decent, I tried the Roasted Pork Benedict and it was ok. One of the flavors was a little off, I think it may have been the hollandaise. The pork wasn't overly flavorful either. The bread wasn't toasted very well or seasoned with butter or anything. Could have been a better dish but I was hungry and enjoyed it for what it was. I was a little disappointed in the staff, they were shouting behind the counter (not the kitchen, the counter) and were not talking about anything work related. I found it unprofessional and honestly a negative distraction from my dining experience. It was also really cold inside. I'm not sure I'll be back. read more

A FUN WAY TO START YOUR MORNING! This place is located in a shopping center so it's not a massive restaurant. It's more like a quaint coffee shop with adorable beach photos to keep the FL vibe. It's not a tourist place more of the locals which was nice, not super packed. Staff & Service: Very attentive and helpful with the menu. Fast turn for food from the kitchen Food: Chicken & Waffles - A LOT of chicken comes loaded on these waffles, 2 nice size breast portions per sandwich. They are seasoned to perfection you can actually see the seasoning in the breading and the taste to match. No boring at all with the seasoning. The waffles a bit thick as they have to be strong enough to carry these 2 large chicken breasts so waffles are more on the heavy side than the light and fluffy side. Still very good. Strawberry Pancake Stack - So you definitely are in for a treat if you are expecting your average, which is berry's just tossed on top of the pancakes. Here the strawberries are actually cooked into the pancake with extra berries on top & nicely topped with whipped cream & powered sugar, just beautiful & tasty too! Scrambles Eggs & Turkey Bacon - Nice portion of eggs scrambled well, the turkey bacon are nice wide pieces not skinny or small, tender and not dry. Nice addition to the pancakes. read more

Certainly a popular place. Friendly and accommodating staff since we were with a party of 40+ guests, great food, and great atmosphere. Highly recommended! read more

Great meal with HaTeam today. Awesome omelets, waffles and biscuits. Service was great and food delicious.

On a vacation and decided to enjoy local eateries versus tourist haunts. I went to the Dr Phillips location to avoid tourists. Wow!! This diner is not only beautiful with its modern coastal feel; but very good! Excellent. My daughter and I ordered a smorgasbord: chocolate chip pancakes (light and fluffy), thick French toast, southwestern omelets, and a side of bacon. Yummy!! Service was great! The hostess was even sanitizing each menu. This place is a must. read more

BEST EGGS BENEDICT EVER!! The hollandaise sauce is to die for and my eggs were perfectly poached. Our server was so friendly and welcoming. We got here around noon on a weekday and there was a wait of about 20 mins, not bad. Back to the food--pancakes were lovely. So soft and fluffy. The bottom pancakes did become soggy pretty quickly and the strawberries between the pancakes were flimsy and warm--not the biggest fan of those. Vibe of the restaurant was really nice!! read more

Ahhhh I absolutely love this place! Make sure to come early (before 10am on weekends because they do get packed!) We got the chicken and waffle, Nutella and strawberry French toast, Cuban sandwich and their steak! If you want to excite your taste buds, definitely go for the chicken and waffle! Filling and very fresh and crunch. The chicken and waffles weren't over cooked at all and the syrup was soooo yummy with it! I don't recommend the steak one because it was super well done even though we asked it to be medium rare. The steak was also dry. The French toast was super fresh and nice and hot when it came out soooo we definitely did dessert first because we couldn't help it! Customer service was wonderful even thought it was hectic! Definitely will come back to get the chicken and waffle over and over again! read more

We arrived hungry after an early morning flight. It is conveniently located about 15 minutes from the airport. They have a parking lot and it's not in the middle of all the Disney action. We were told it would be A 45 minute wait. That was fine with us because we needed to pick up some items at the nearby Publix. 60 minutes later we received a text that our table was ready, to our surprise we did not have a table but were offered the counter seats. Oh well! Overall, I wasn't wowed by anything. The food was just average, it tasted like something I could have at home. I was very disappointed that I got toast with my food but there was only one slice of bread cut in half. The sausage is really good. They also have a bottomless Mamosa special for $25 and I saw several people drinking them so they must be good.They were very busy so the servers were not very attentive. But when they did come they were friendly. I really wanted to love the waffle, but I found it to be very light and fluffy and a little on the soft side. The prices on the menu did not match the prices on our bill. And a 4% charge was added if you pay with a credit card. read more

We went on a Saturday, later morning. The wait was about 20 minutes. My wife and I both had Eggs Benedict with extra crispy hash browns. The eggs were cooked perfectly. The hollandaise was a little thin but good. Over all a good local place, I would eat there again. Be aware they charge extra if you pay with a card vs cash. read more

Poorly run. Had an hour wait (ended up leaving after an hour because we were quoted 35-40 min). They have a sign at the hostess stand stating they are not understaffed, but at the same time didn't have half of the dining room open because, whelp, they didn't have staff for it. Crazy. Will not be back. read more

Great service and and great food! Stayed nearby and I had this place bookmarked. My group of friends all agreed on some brunch and came around 12:30p. There was a bit of a wait, but not bad. The specials and the menu had so many options I wanted to order one of each! I ended up getting their omelette and subbed it with egg white & turkey bacon, home fries, and wheat toast. My friends got the gyro, breakfast tacos, and Florida French toast. I have to say, I was very impressed with the home fries! The service was great and the place is located in a very convenient area close to the convention center. I highly recommend coming here whether you are on vacation or a local. read more

Sunday Brunch with a large group was a miss. We had a group of 11, called to confirm reservation 30 mins before, came early but still had to wait for table past reservation time. Restaurant was packed! Which I don't mind the people, but the quality of the food was subpar. - Mocha Latte. Can't go wrong with a caffeinated hot chocolate! - Greek Omelette with Mushrooms. Large portion, but I could help but laugh at one of the the yolks that weren't all the way mixed through. Good thing I don't mind my eggs over easy. - side of small stack pancakes - very upset that we were not informed there would be an up charge to add strawberries Nutella and whip cream. Could you believe The Nutella drizzle alone is over $1... total came to be about the same price as the entree cost. Pancakes itself weren't fluffy, mainly on the dry side. Last but not least, my friend ordered a bagel that had mold on it... definitely set the mood for brunch! I can understand that high demand and a packed restaurant can keep the back busy, but there has to be better quality control for food comes out. Server did her best, but I'm afraid she appeared she couldn't keep up with the the hustle and bustle of the whole restaurant. Apart from the busyness of Sunday brunch, hands down don't think I'll come back for the food. read more

Very good local breakfast house. They really seem to cater to the convention crowd. Traditional and unique twists on the menu. I had a cool eggs Benedict dish with bacon and an OJ. No complaints from any of my buddies. Excellent service even when crowded. read more

Good food, quick service. A party of 4 had to wait for about 10 minutes. We received our food shortly after ordering (no more than 10 minutes). The prices were slightly higher than what was listed on the pictured menu here. A 4% merchant fee is added if you pay by card. A word to the wise have cash and use part of the 4% you would have paid towards the tip. I did not have anything exceptional (including the citrus peach mimosa). read more

What a wonderful breakfast spot. Everything we ordered was good. Out server was Nicollete and she was amazing! We had a large group but she was very attentive and had a pleasant attitude. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is the wait was LONG. We went on a Friday and waited an hour and 20 minutes (they told us 1 hour and 30 minutes to 2 hours). When we finally got seated, I noticed there was one side of the restaurant closed off. The restaurant was packed, every table filled. Other than that, definitely a place to visit if you're in the area. read more

We first attempted this restaurant two days ago on a Monday morning and it was packed! The wait time was too long for us. They do not take reservations by phone so you have to go in person. Send a sacrificial lamb to get your wait time started. We stopped by again two days later and to our surprise were seated immediately at the bar. The staff is friendly and helpful with food options. I was sad they do not have expresso but that's an expresso addict issue- not there's. We ordered huevos rancheros with beef barbacoa, the eggs Bennyffle, and a cafe latte. The food came in a timely manner. The portions were generous. read more

This place was. A great spot to stop and have breakfast. It was packed from the time we got there till we left...on a Wednesday. Which always says good things. The food was quick, service was good. There wasn't anything crazy special about it, so I didn't give it 5 stars. It is just diner food. But a quality stop none the less. read more

I wish we found this place earlier during our trip. We had breakfast here on our way to the airport. We could tell this place was a local favorite and our adult children would have loved it as well. I saw someone having chicken and waffles and it looked fantastic but i knew I couldn't finish it and didn't want to take it to the airport with us. My husband had their hungry combo plate - I think it was called that - and he was very happy with it. The place looked lovely and clean and the staff were all very attentive. Like I said, I wish we found them earlier as I'm sure we would have gone earlier. read more

Update to my first review - we liked this place so much we came back two more days for brunch. The second brunch I had was the avocado toast - absolutely scrumptious! The third and best dish was the cannoli cream filled French toast with chocolate chips on top - a meal fit for a queen!! If I didn't live 2 hours away, I would be a permanent resident at this restaurant! read more

We stopped by on our last day in Orlando before heading off to the airport. Honestly, a great place to stop for breakfast. They tend to be be very busy all the time. We came on a Tuesday morning and it was very packed. But the service does move through very quickly and we didn't have to wait too long. The food was pretty good and the prices aren't cheap but not the worst. The staff was very friendly and attentive and they tried their best to keep everything flowing nicely. Great spot for breakfast and brunch! read more

Great classic diner experience. Waitresses are hit or miss on being friendly. Food is plentiful and good.

This place was amazing! There was a wait to be seated but luckily we were able to grab some seats at the bar. Service was quick and all of the staff was very friendly.

An awesome breakfast option with some unique offering! I'm not a morning person, but I do enjoy breakfast, so I am always looking for new places that serve a solid breakfast past 2pm. @ The Diner hit the spot being open until 3 each day (woo-hoo!). It is located right across from the UCF Rosen campus and near Williamsburg, I-Drive and the Convention center. Parking is never an issue at this shopping complex. The decor isn't particularly homey or "diner-y", but that's ok since they have maximized space to keep things moving with a ton of seating. Service was very "nice" but did struggle a bit with a 5+ minute wait to initially greet after seating and no refill offers until we were done eating. The server was knowledgeable and friendly so perhaps it was just an off day or they had too many tables. The menu is extensive and the food is very good. Omelets were great although a bit burned on the edges with hearty sides. Cereal pancakes were the stand out item - perfectly done and flavorful. How are these not a thing more places! I love the piece of pineapple on the plate and the side of fruit was perfect - full of fruit you want... not crappy melons! Overall, I know I will be back soon! read more

By far one the best breakfast place in Orlando! Food is absolutely exquisite . Service is always extremely fast and pleasant! They have a very efficient way of cleaning tables and getting people sat as quickly as possible. They are always busy! And can sometimes have a rowdy atmosphere due to the multitude of people. I definitely recommend the wait it is so worth it. read more

Another great breakfast again. Perfect way to start off the new year. January 1st, 2021 it's gonna be an amazing positive year for all of us. Had a wonderful stuff blueberry French toast. With bacon and French vanilla coffee. I actually quit coffee, but I had a 3 hour drive, thought the coffee would keep me alert. Waitress was so kind to refill it. We ate outside, although it was slightly windy, it was actually a nice setting. Our waitress was wonderful. I forgot what her name was, but she was very attentive, and kind, and just truly a wonderful person. We were very grateful for her, to work on a holiday. We were grateful for all of you that had to be up early to set up and serve your customers the way that you did. Thank you to all @ The Diner. Hope to see you again soon. read more

My family came here about a week ago while visiting Orlando in hopes to find some good breakfast options. @ The Diner has A LOT (so if you have a picky eater in the group, don't fret.) The interior is nice and refreshing feeling with light colors. The ambience is casual. The service here was friendly and got to know us a bit, but I guess that's normal since most people are tourists in the part of Orlando where we stayed. I would come again if I visited Orlando another time. TEX MEX OMELET: 8/10 (+) Cheese stayed melted (+) Fresh and tasty salsa on top (+) Fluffy eggs (+) Potatoes were cooked super nicely (-) I learned that I don't like Rye bread *I'm from TX so this was kind of a reminder of home read more
