BTW (Burgers, Tacos, Waffles) is located on Main Street in Tavares, FL, across from Wooton Park. The restaurant is somewhat new and stands out amongst other buildings in the immediate area; you really cannot miss it. The restaurant emits an artsy/industrial vibe using stained concrete floors, exposed ductwork/electrical conduit, Edison-style light bulbs, stiff metal chairs, and lightly whitewashed wooden tables.
BTW uses a counter-service concept where the customer places their order at the register, then restaurant staff delivers food, drinks, and condiments. Lines can form quickly, so I highly recommend looking over their menu on Yelp, Google, or BTW's website, before arriving to help speed up the ordering process.
As a customer, I am willing to spend a little more money on quality products. I am happy to see that BTW's Angus beef burgers are made with a combination of chuck, brisket, and short rib, and the Stubborn sodas are made with natural flavors and without HFCS, artificial sweeteners, and Azo Dyes.
Today I ordered the BFD (Breakfast for Dinner) Burger ($15.95). The burger is served on a waffle bun and topped with smashed tater tots, an over-medium egg, cheddar cheese, maple bacon, and drizzled sriracha honey aioli. I chose honey mustard slaw as my side and paired my meal with a Stubborn Root Beer fountain soda ($2.80 with free refills).
Our server brought out our drinks immediately, and our food was delivered 10-minutes or so later. I was impressed with the initial look of breakfast-for-dinner-stack, but after diving in, I had difficulty holding it all together, especially after adding syrup. About ¼ of the way through my meal, I decided it would be best to finish with a fork and knife. All-in-all, the food was delicious, even the coleslaw; however, I would not recommend ordering this burger if you are on a date, LOL.
BTW also houses a café in the west end of the building geared toward espresso, crafted coffees, soda, and snacks. I stopped in and ordered a 12oz Americano ($2.95) before hitting the road. My coffee was freshly ground, brewed to order, and served in a porcelain cup. My coffee was hot, flavorful, and strong, the way I like it. I'm not crazy about spending $2.95 for a 12oz Americano, but I would do it again If I was at BTW.
My only complaint is that the furniture is a bit too industrial and is almost impossible to get comfortable on. For that reason, I do not see customers staying for long periods to drink wine or beer later into the evening. Regardless, I highly recommend stopping in for lunch, dinner, or to enjoy any one of their freshly brewed coffees.
