Brunchies Breakfast, Brunch & Lunch

As others have stated in their review the shrimp and grits is way off from what it used to be. Ive been coming here for a longtime and even back then when it was served on a skillet. Today the shrimp tasted uncooked like they literally poured it out from a frozen bag fresh from the frozen aisle. It had a fishy smell and raw texture. The sausage and service was still good but this was the one item I used to come here for and now its seems to be not as good anymore. The duck bacon is still amazing though.

Awesome every single time! I had the Bacon Waffle and it was incredible, even for a pancake person! Staff is always super nice and helpful, even during rush hour. It can be a bit loud at times, though. Overall, 10/10!

The food is pretty basic and flavorless and these are pictures in the men's restroom which are pretty sexist and pointless. The imagery featured promotes an "old-school" objectification of women that is both sexist and outdated. Regardless of whether the intent was "vintage" or "humorous," the result is an environment that feels unwelcoming and disrespectful to your patrons. Judging by your response, you obviously don't care about how this portrays women as sex objects and not people. There's plenty of other breakfast places with better food and more couth.

This place has great ratings but the food is so so. For a breakfast spot the Scrambled eggs looked like they sat under heat lamp- dry. Biscuits looked and tasted like hamburger buns. Gravy NO taste

Been here 10+ times and I always chuckle when I see the 1 star reviews. Price is better than most brunch spots, selection is AMAZING, location is convenient and the service is great with food that comes out fast. We did have one time where they forgot to put whipped cream on my crepes but rather than say nothing and then leave a 1 star review, I notified the waitress and something amazing happened - they fixed it!! Here’s to my next 10 visits. (Tried the guava crepes today - strongly recommend them!).

I had been looking forward to coming back to Bunchies with my wife after having an amazing shrimp and grits dish there about a year ago. That first experience stuck with me—the shrimp was fresh, the grits were perfectly cooked, and the andouille sausage added the perfect touch. Naturally, I was excited to return and order the same thing. This time, however, the experience was different. We were seated quickly and ordered the shrimp and grits right away. When the dish came out, I immediately caught a strong smell from the shrimp that raised a red flag. As someone who worked as a seafood manager for over 15 years, I know the difference between fresh and off seafood. I’ve handled it, ordered it, inspected it—I know the shelf life and how even the sauce can turn when the shrimp is bad. I tasted one bite, and unfortunately, it confirmed my suspicion. Rather than making a scene, I respectfully asked the waiter to take it back and bring a menu. He hesitated and told me, “That’s just how the dish is.” That response was disappointing. While I understand not everyone may have experience in food service, it’s important to listen to guests, especially when they voice a valid concern. That said, I calmly explained my background and reassured him I wasn't trying to cause trouble. He did end up taking the dish back, and we both ordered omelettes instead—my wife got the veggie, I got the western, both with English muffins and potatoes. They came out hot, fresh, and tasted just fine. The bill came to about $36, and despite the earlier hiccup, I still tipped $10 because our server, while misinformed in that moment, remained polite and did his job. What’s most disappointing is that Bunchies used to be a place I’d rave about—now I’m unsure if I’ll return for the shrimp and grits. Maybe there’s a new cook or change in management, but when quality slips on a signature dish, it makes you think twice.

Omg Brunchies is so good! We had fun sitting at the bar and the vibes were so good. We loved our waitress and the food/drinks were incredible!

This is a restaurant that serves breakfast & skillets in a homey atmosphere. Even though the place is clean, the decor & logo seems dated. It felt like I walked back 4 decades. The service was overall good and attentive, but it was frustrating when our waitress disappeared after giving us our check. The food here is the best thing it offers. The soda and guava cheese French toast is very sweet, and offers good taste. The chorizo and eggs were very flavorful, and specially with the rice and massive tortilla on the side. Overall, would recommend if you live nearby.

Service was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! The girls in there were very nice and informative about the menu! Ambiance is family style and bright. The issue was the food. Our group ordered shrimp and grits, the chorizo and eggs and a Benedict. The shrimp and grits were very soupy and the color was off putting but more than likely because it's made with a beef broth. (I come from the north so I am used to soft cheesy creamy grits.) the chorizo and eggs was fabulous! It was the perfect amount of spice and the portion size was great! The Benedict was good as well however (personal preference) the eggs could've been poached just a LITTLE longer. Overall we had a great experience, the place was clean and organized even for how crazy busy it was. And the team they had working was fabulous!

We arrived full swing into brunching hours and only met with a minimal wait. The service was great, the food was very good, and the Bellinis were fantastic. I had the stuffed French toast and it hit the spot.. her sandwich looked awesome as well and the potatoes I had to steal a few haha! Delicious.. I was so excited to eat it that I didnt even take a pic haha! If you want that home cooked brunch feel with a refreshing cocktail to boot.. this is hard to beat and all without being pretentious or gimmicky. What's not to love?..

It is very clean, and even smells like they use fabuloso to clean. The girl who was our waitress was very nice. She knew her stuff and about allergies. Great service. The food is really good. They have a great hollandaise sauce, but that homemade hot sauce was everything. Well done with that yummy sauce!

Everything I've tasted so far has been so good. Nice portions and the place is cute but always busy. The French toast and the waffles are delish. The skillet breakfasts never disappoint. I try something new each time I go. This is my 4th time and I can't complain. The only complaint is that there's always a wait but for good reason.

I highly recommend!!! Billy the owner and his staff are great . My brother and I have become regulars on Sunday after church. The food is tasty and hot when it comes to your table. Bunchies is very clean even bathrooms. I'm happy with Bunchies. When my company comes into town , they always need a Brunchies fix......... they love it , too! Cindy

My arrival at Abby's a half an hour early had me looking for a way to kill time. Brunchies was a couple doors down and I had not had breakfast yet. They opened at 7am. Located on N. Dale Mabry in a busy plaza with a 5 Guys, Starbucks and BBQ place, the plaza houses an interesting array of businesses. Me, I frequent Abby's. There was a diner vibe to the place. A counter dining option was to the left as you entered, a large wide open dining area in the middle as well as 2 separate meeting/dining rooms for groups off to the right. Kitchen at the back and most beverage options behind the dining counter. A well organized place but maybe a tad disheveled. An extensive menu with loads of treats was in fine print so bring your glasses. Lots of delectable options but I found that many basic combos were missing in several categories. They did have the "build your own" option but that makes your basic ham and cheese omelet more expensive. Of the four "go to" items I usually order, none were on the menu. I ended up ordering a cuban sandwich and a cup of coffee, $12 and $5. The cuban came with a side. She offered potatoes but I declined and she then listed the other options. I got a salad. The cuban was small and the taste while good was greasy and not tradionional. If I had to describe, I would say the salami tasted like a sharp pepperoni. I ate my salad, drank my coffee and ate half a sandwich. Took the rest home, it was dinner. My experience was tarnished at the end when I got my bill and with tip, was $27. I examined my bill and found I was charged $4 for my salad, my side item. That left me fuming. I paid the bill, did not complain. I blame the server who should have told me that a salad, which she listed as a side option, was an upcharge of $4. To me, that's dishonest. Reminds me of servers that do not tell you a 20% gratuity is part of the bill and watch you add another 20%. Not planning to go back. Things like that ruffle my feathers! Most reviewers have good things to say.

Food is disgusting. It used to be good when the old man worked there but whoever the new staff is is terrible. The waiter had a horrible attitude. Talk back to me and the manager did absolutely nothing about it very unprofessiona

Restaurant was noisy. The service was great and the food tasted and looked good but unfortunately, I got very sick after eating at this restaurant. I called the following day after I recovered and informed them. Inquired what type of butter they use on the toast and what they cook the eggs in and they told me margarine. I didn't ask how they cooked the potatoes. No apology offered and no other option offered to keep me coming back. I don't consume margarine so I'm guessing that is what triggered my very bad stomach upset. My friend had the same entree and did not experience any issue but she eats any kind of butter.

I've been to Brunchies well over 25 times but never for lunch. Both the hubby and I branched out and ordered lunch instead of breakfast. Well at least I did. I enjoyed my Waldorf salad but my fave is always their potatoes. Waitress was very flexible and patient. We sat next to the window which was great for conversation. Nice ambiance.

Service is usually on point. Kessie is my favorite! I usually get the Brunchies club. I like the Benedicts, too, but they do not always cook the eggs the way I like them. It also can get really loud in the main room. The acoustics are a bit off. All said and done, this is one of my go-to places for brunch.

I was pleasantly surprised at my experience here. I wasn't expecting much, just another breakfast place in a strip mall with food that is just okay, but it was definitely good. Plenty of seating, they even have a side room with more tables. The juices are good because everything is freshly made. The food was great, under seasoned but otherwise it was very tasty. Our server was excellent and everything came out quickly. It wasn't busy because it was a weekday morning but overall a great breakfast spot.

This is a super busy restaurant for good reason! Tons of options and if you don't see what you want, ask!! They have great customer service, fantastic staff, and hustle like no other! Food is always good. We have been coming here for years and nothing disappoints! It's breakfast and lunch and closes at 2 pm. They do special events and catering so go see Bill the owner! Great place!

Food was excellent, corn beef hash was fresh. Coffee was fresh & service was great. The ambiance was really nice, the people waitress where so attentive and pleasant.

Brunchies has a delightful warmth, a very family-friendly atmosphere that was pretty busy during the Sunday brunch rush. The menu presented a decent variety of options, from the menu items I had there could be some improvement. The short stack pancakes were dry for me, a touch of butter or more flavor could elevate the dish as well. The lavender lemonade had more of a syrupy taste. Adding a few lemons slices improved the overall drink, I would add more lemon and water to the drink to dilute teh syrup a little. My main I chose and enjoyed was the Eggs Bruncheros! I liked the nice crispy texture of the tortillas at the base. The toppings worked well together, overall a good dish. There is some room for improvement on the other meny items but overall an okay experience. If you are going for a classic and homey brunch experience with the fam this is for sure an option.

Brunchies has a great selection of breakfast, brunch, lunch dishes, and beverages on their menu. They offer gluten-free options on their omelettes, some skillets, and other dishes when replacing regular bread with gluten-free bread. I ordered the Homemade Corned Beef Skillet with GF bread on the side. I would have liked to see GF pancakes on the menu, since it can be mundane and repetitive when eggs are the only gluten-friendly options available. Overall, I can see how Brunchies has become a staple in the community. They serve consistently good breakfast and brunch dishes, and I'll continue to come back. Maybe one day I'll see some GF pancakes on that menu...

Very busy brunch spot. I suggest timing your meal early, if possible. I dined alone and waited only a few minutes before snagging a seat at the counter. Diner is clean. A little noisy during peak hours. I bring my AirPods. Was fortunate to be served once again by Miguel, a real pro. Ordered "deconstructed" Eggs Benedict: 2 eggs poached in a bowl with Hollandaise, 86 Canadian bacon, well-done home fries. Ordered toast OTS instead of traditional English muffins that always wind up chewy. Added crispy bacon OTS. Brought my own tea because I'm a tea snob. Breakfast was delicious. Service was smooth. I did not feel rushed despite the joint being very busy with a long wait. Miguel @ Brunchies, see you again real soon. Maybe this week :)

I've been here a few times and while the food is pretty good, I would not choose to come again. The service has always been just okay, employees aren't super friendly but not rude, and it is a little slow. I really like the portobello croissant Benny! It's unique and super filling. The hash browns are okay but don't have much seasoning. The cuban was extremely good especially for a non cuban restaurant. Overall, I would come if someone invited me but based on the service and food not being anything mouth watering, it would not be my first pick for breakfast. It is nice that they have many options including lunch items and are accommodating with food sensitive like providing gluten free bread. You can also make reservations, although they did not prepare our table (we had 5 people so they had to push tables together) until after we arrived.

Service is usually good. Head waitress is sometimes stuffy! Food is ok but they use too much oil! I always get sick after eating there. Coffee is too strong for me

We usually visit this restaurant a few times a month. Today my omelette was a mess. The ham was a cheap grade not usually what is served and way too much cheese The potatoes were hard. I sent the first omelette back and the second was even worse . Ate half of it. We need to give this place a break.

One of my favorite breakfast spots. The french toast is delicious and the service is good.

Solid food. House made corned beef hash (a taaad salty) with good flavor. Lots of great menu choices, including some great alcoholic brunch beverages. Service was decent. They were busier than expected especially for a Monday. I'd like to try some of their guava options.

I really like the feel of the dinning area. Gives American diner. Love the booth but team spirit flag hides the natural lighting making it feel a bit gloomy on the inside. Service was not bad but it wasn't great either. Waittress was to busy cleaning to properly wait on us. So It was a bit of a wait for our food and We had a little spread and almost all the food was good. I was not thrilled with the berry crepe. But The avocado huevos were pretty good although the eggs had a few too many egg shells. Everything else was great! The guava stuff French toast was delicious. The tenders and home fries were great! Duck bacon was tasty. I def would give this place another shot. Cool spot for brunch.

Such a nice and delicious brunch spot! Food was fantastic, servers were amazing and helpful! Wait was less than 5 minutes on a busy Sunday!

Quick things to know if you don't want to read: Cutting corners on food, service is ok but rushes, diner style loud so great if you have kids. There is a Brunchies off of 54 and it's nothing like this. So please know that first. Let's start from the beginning. We order coffee, our food and a cinnamon roll. Being regulars at the other Brunchies we already knew what we wanted. Coffee was good but they never brought anymore creamer. Cinnamon roll comes out and it looks like a honey bun warmed up that they tried to make look homemade. This thing was flat. We cut into it and it was still doughy. We told the server and she said "yeah, we get them frozen and just microwave them. Do you want me to microwave it more or take it off the bill?" We opted to take it off. Next, biscuits and gravy were mostly biscuits and little bit of gravy. Eggs Benedict, the ham/Canadian bacon was about the size of two quarters and not even as thick as a quarter. At first we thought they forgot that ham. Overall the food still tasted good but they have clearly cut back on a number of things that we found didn't justify the cost. The cinnamon roll was $5, and the eggs Benedict was $14, B&G was $13. Gave it 3 stars because service was fast and food still tasted ok, but I would recommend you just go about 1 mile farther to Noble Crust and get the same food, with the right portions, for the same cost and I think it taste better. For us, this was a one and done.

First time here and it was a total homerun! Our breakfast was cooked perfectly, fresh ingredients and served hot. The server was very friendly and helpful for recommendations. We can't wait to go back!

This was a limited edition dish for Mother's Day but it was so delicious that it should be a permanent addition to the menu! The chimichurri-hollandaise sauce was divine - which sounds like an eggsageration, but trust me it's not! The pork belly bacon was tender and cooked to perfection. And the biscuit was buttery, soft and crispy around the edges. Loved everything about this meal. Chef's kiss! The inside of the restaurant is also very charming. It's colorful and homey and just overall a great place to go to for breakfast, lunch or brunchies of course!

Love this place. Try Juan's Burrito it's excellent with a coffee and juice. The service is always good and it's in a convenient location on Dale Mabry, and there is something on the menu for everyone.

Wanted to introduce my friend to this place as it's right around the corner from her place. We had the apple and pink lemonade mimosas to drink. We also had the Buccaneers Feast with Maple French toast. I'm usually a Guava Stuffed French Toast girl, but I already had it the day before. The French toast was cooked perfectly and service was efficient. Definitely recommend for breakfast in the Carrolwood area.

The whole place sucks Food, price, management Never again will I eat there Bad, bad, bad!!

Stopped in at Brunchies after a trail walk near by. The menu was extremely overwhelming but the staff was there to help me narrow down a tasty option. I had the Bayou Omelette minus the cream cheese and had no complaints. The omelette had a sufficient amount of shrimp and spinach but definitely lacked a Cajun taste, but it was still good. They have some sort of house hot sauce that is so good, if you're looking for a kick ask for that. The brunch crowd is booming so if you're coming with a crowd be prepared to wait. If its just you or another person they have a little bar area that you can sit and eat with no wait. The staff is super welcoming and nice so even if you have to wait 10 or 15 mins, the service and food are worth the wait.

Tasty Billy Goat Omelet. My wife's Veggie Omelet was dry and bland. The side of grits had no seasoning. Still, quick service, flavorful Billy Goat Omelet. We'll come back again.

They allow and serve dogs IN the restaurant. Service dog or not, this is wrong! As a dog lover, I respect others wish for cleanliness in a restaurant! I also feel for the dogs. I have been coming here for years but will not return until I know policy changed. My only two requirements for an eatery, - cleanliness and consistency. GUYS, PETS OUTSIDE IS OK. INSIDE NOT OKAY, - OKAY?

Rotten ahrimp, no apologies, there's no way any chef or cook could not notice the shrimp was bad!

Pros: The bright orange/peach walls give it a nice bright look. The service was great on both times I went. Matt's Ultimate spicy skillet($11): This truly lived up to its name. It had eggs, potato wedges(though the menu description said curly fries), cheese, chorizo, peppers. The spice was good for me. The only nitpick would be it could use more egg relative to the other ingredients. 4/5 Pumpkin Bacon Waffle($9.50) - This is a seasonal item. The waffle was cooked and had lots of bacon embedded in the waffle itself. The pralnes were a nice addition. MY main issue was it was that the pumpkin flavor seemed minimal even though the waffle tasted good. This was one of the few places I've seen that has pumpkin waffles in the area(Waffle House doesnt carry one alas.) 3/5 The dining area is kind of noisy most of the time so I wouldnt have an intimate date or try to get some schoolwork done. Overall, another pretty good breakfast joint in North Tampa

An alleged 3 egg breakfast burrito. Maybe one egg. Waitress tried to get manager to comp it and was told only $5 credit. Oh. This was after I found a hair too. Absolutely will not be back

I came for an early brunch on a Sunday and there wasn't much of a wait. There's a large parking lot out front so you shouldn't have too much trouble parking. The inside has plenty of tables and the turnover is steady. It was pretty busy on the weekend and the atmosphere is similar to First Watch or sort of like KeKe's. It's average noise level and bright inside. My friend and I ordered: Portobello croissant Benedict with Hollandaise on the side: it was not bad but would probably try something else next time. Guava stuffed french toast: not bad, fairly sweet Chilaquiles: very interesting, would order again. The service was good and she for us in and out in good time. So the food was good, as was the service was excellent, but I just don't think it's a regular spot for me for the ambiance and the food just wasn't enough to make it my go to spot. I can definitely see it being a regular spot for others though, so give it a try!

Stopped in this morning thinking i had enough time to grab something small so I could make it to an appointment. Unfortunately that wasn't the case, just bad timing. I would like to suggest offering smaller portion sizes to help those needing to adjust their diet and not overeat. Most menu offerings are too much, the kids meal size is often the correct portion size in my experience. Hope to return and try this place soon!

4 star rating seemed accurate to me. Food was solid. Place was clean, and service was friendly. Wouldn't rush to go back - but wouldn't avoid either. Got steak and eggs, burger, grits, and bagel. Once again - all solid but no wow factor.

Great little breakfast spot in the Carrollwood area of Tamp. The services was on point and really just made me and my mom feel so welcomed to be with them. The food was fantastic. The Route 66 is probably all I'll ever get cause I love hash and they do it homemade and it taste so good it made me want to slap my mama!! JK... but it really is a great little restaurant.

Solid breakfast/brunch (no pun intended) spot in north Tampa. The wait for a table is never too long. Service is quick and servers are friendly. They have good coffee and lots of unique menu items. My favorite is the guava stuffed French toast! This is a must order item in my opinion. The corn flake coating is superb! The chocolate chip pancakes are also very delicious. Omelettes are on point and huge! If you are looking for something a bit healthier, they also have a ton of healthy options including low fat, low carb items.

Why 4 stars? Because there was more to like than not. --- --- --- I've been in this parking lot about 150 times, so I am not really sure what took me so long to finally visit. I peeked at the menu recently and noticed that they had Guava French Toast, so I very quickly decided it was about time I stop in. We came on Father's Day and had about a 40-45 minute wait pre-10am. I'm not sure if it's packed on a non-holiday, but it was certainly the place to be when we visited. My wife was super boring with her meal choice - she just got the standard breakfast with eggs, bacon, toast, etc. And as much as it was kind of her fault for ordering that, it was even more disappointing when it arrived at our table. It looked at tasted like a breakfast you'd find at a Motel 6. If we were going strictly off of her meal, I'd go with a 2-star rating because our customer service was very friendly. Fortunately, I ordered the lobster benedict, and it was quite amazing. I'll admit, when it came out at the same time as my wife's meal, it looked equally sad. Just based off of looks, it seemed like it had been cooked about 10-15 minutes before it was brought out to us. I don't know how to describe the look of it other than by using the word "deflated." The good news? It really was delicious. I don't know if it was the lobster meat, the hollandaise sauce or a combination of both, but this was one of the better benedicts I've ever had. The bad news? This was on the special Father's Day menu and our server mentioned that it's only available for a limited time. Hopefully it ends up being super popular and finds its way to becoming a regular item. Finally, we shared the guava stuffed french toast for dessert. This was probably the most complex french toast I've ever had. It was tasty, but also very heavy (shocker.) It's basically served with two giant slices of french toast on top of each other and some kind of guava spread in the middle. The guava was not very evenly distributed because some of my early bites had none, but by the time we got to the end, there was a ton of it. It's not an easy dish to pull off, but knowing what I know now, I'd just pull the slices a part and get that perfect ratio of guava:bread in every bite. I'd love to check Brunchie's out again - their regular menu online is enormous! It would be hard for someone to come here and not find something they'd like.

We went for a brunch at brunchies on Saturday. We were 3 people and for brunch we started with Juices, Coffee, San Diego Egg Whites, Avocado Toast, Huevos + Chorizo Sausage and Jerk Chicken Skillet. We went on a easter weekend so there was beautiful decorations. The server was also amazing. We all loved the food. Do try this restaurant as they have good breakfast options.

I'm glad we decided to try this place for brunch. We got there and since there were only two of us we were seated immediately. They have an area that is but enough for groups but it looks like you should probably call ahead for that seating. The staff was very friend and efficient. Our food came quickly and cups were kept full. I had the half stack of blueberry crunch pancakes and they were delicious and filling. My husband is vegetarian and they had plenty of options for him. He had a yummy vegetarian omelette with potatoes. And what is brunch without mimosas or bloody Mary's? They most certainly do have brunch beverages and if you don't want alcohol at 10 am they do have coffee, fancy lemonades and juices.

Stopped in this morning in an undying attempt to make Monday Brunch a thing. Greeted immediately and shown to a booth. Server appeared promptly with a smile and great demeanor. For the second time in about a month, we got exceptional food, top-notch service, and delicious fresh-squeezed OJ. This place gets crowded for good reason. They knock it out of the park every single time.

Stopped in to get breakfast and ordered a build your own omelet. It was delicious! I was a little nervous since I have a food allergy but the staff and kitchen handled it excellently. Cute little breakfast/ brunch place to eat at.

Food is amazing. Server Ray was excellent and the Shrimp and Grits is to die for! definitely coming back.

My server was amazing. She answered my questions and provided some good suggestions. The food was amazing. I might've inhaled my breakfast before heading to the beach. I definitely recommend Brunchies.

Brunchies is my GO TO brunch spot! Such a hidden gem to me. They have the best peach Bellini in Tampa! I always order the Matt's ultimate spicy skillet and will continue to do so lol. Their home fries are amazing and super crunchy and unique ! The service is good each and every time I come here and they never disappoint!

Great service and food. Took my family there for brunch and we were treated with hospitality and respect. Well done
