Briarpatch Restaurant

My number one spot for breakfast. At a great location in Winter Park (park ave). Service is always top notch and food quality hasn’t changed and I’ve been dining here for more than 15 years. Only slightly negative thing is that $25 for an omelette and eggs Benedict is CRAZY LOL. But their serving size is the same and their eggs Benedict are always on point and the California Benedict is my go to breakfast meal. May I also suggest their French toast? You won’t regret.

When we arrived it was a 30 min wait.. which at times feels like a lot but man.. the food was worth it.. our server Rayna was great! We ordered just two entrees (bacon jam burger and pork belly waffles) and it was so much food we had take home boxes. We will definitely come back!

Shout out to Rayna, who took really great care of me! I dont think my coffee every reached below half - thank you, I'm a coffee lover, I think you sensed that! I haven't been here in a while but it looks like they renovated- definitely an improved style. I love the wood floors and clean color pallet... Now to the food, I highly recommend the Smoked Salmon Scramble: the eggs were soft and creamy (cooked just enough - NOT overcooked), the biscuit was light and fluffy (didn't even need butter but I indulged anyway) the home fries are HUGE (crispy on the outside & tender in the middle) - so good! I also had a side of Canadian Bacon - I just HAD to - crispy on the outside, juicy in the middle - worth the indulgence! I can't wait to go back and try more goodies from the menu!

First time eating here and it won't be my last. The pancakes we had were some of the best we have ever had. The wait to get in was not as bad as we were expecting as they move people in and out quite frequently. The service was fast and the food came out hot as well as fresh. You do get a lot for what the pricey dishes as we had leftovers too. I highly recommend eating here if you love breakfast.

So first I recommend dining outside, as if you dine inside it can be loud. So my wife and I shared the Truffle Burger and then had the most delicious Carrot Cake. The burger was tasty…. But the carrot cake is out of this world, and hands down the best I’ve ever had. Our server Jaylee, was super friendly and personable and recommended the Carrot Cake. My wife hates raisins, and this had raisins in it. Jaylee was able to effectively put my wife at ease and explained that you won’t even notice that the raisins were there. Jaylee also recommended some other places along the way for food and coffee. Having a server that is knowledgeable about the area and can make solid recommendations for those tourists looking for something off the beaten path, is truly amazing and very appreciated.

Delicious food but some hiccups with service. Would appreciate a more organized seating queue experience. But the delicious food made up for it! Tried the special pork belly and waffles. Super tender pork belly with a well-made waffle, it was so good! Everyone at my table enjoyed the food.

I want to give a huge shoutout to our server Mr. Preston! He was very informational and professional. The place was kinda pricey, but this is Florida ha. The food was excellent and worth the 2 hour drive from Tampa. Also, my girlfriend drove from Jacksonville to meet me there. She had no complaints! This is a must visit brunch location. And this place was clean!

First, let me say our server Jonathan was awesome. The food and drinks was good 😊 The food came out hot the way I like it. The hazelnut waffle was amazing! So good! I would definitely go back the next time I'm in Orlando.

Have been here a few times. The service is great The French toast is amazing The tomato soup is fabulous Their fried green tomatoes perfect And the chicken salad is so yummy. Love the atmosphere! Somedays you may have a wait but it's worth it.

Great place for a "dad & daughter" lunch. Cute spot and we got to eat outside!! My daughter had a spicy turkey sandwich that she loved. Tomato bisque was excellent. My burger was perfect and huge! Cooked at med-rare and delicious. The chocolate cake was excellent. Frosting was creamy and not too sweet. Our server was very attentive and friendly. We love this place and will return.

I've been to Briarpatch for brunch a number of times over the years, but for Christmas Eve, we went for dinner for the first time. I know they do brunch well, but you never know how venturing into dinner would turn out. Let's just say, we were all very impressed. The restaurant was fairly busy, and the staff seemed on top of every thing. Our server was amazing. Really personable and attentive the whole time. She made helpful suggestions and repeatedly checked on us. The food was also amazing. The truffle fries are a bit pricey, but boy were they delicious. Perfectly crispy with the savory truffle flavor and sprinkled with Parmesan. We also had the Truffle Stake Tartare and Naval Orange and Radicchio salad. The salad was refreshing with a nice light dressing and slices of fresh orange. The tartare was so fresh and flavorful. The lamb ragu was also a popular choice for the table. I opted for the Dry aged prime beef burger. Everything was delicious. I will definitely come back for dinner.

This was some of the best brunch I have had in a long time. The ambiance as well as it's it's quaint and cute. Please be prepared to stand in line as this is a very highly recommended restaurant and the hype is real. My friend and I enjoyed the very, very French toast. Absolutely amazing and I will be back to enjoy this again soon. We also wanted the southern breakfast. Everything on that plate was really good as well. I like to eat my fried green tomatoes with ketchup. Believe it or not you will like it too. This is a family environment and because it's so quaint sometime the tables are a little bit tight in reference to being able to pass in between the tables . Do not wait to use the restroom because the line is always long if you got to go.

Finally got to try the dinner service and luckily it was just as good as the brunch! We made a later on a Thursday night for 6 but it was almost completely dead. The vibe was elevated with table lighting resembling candles and a smooth instrumental playlist. Our server, Jean-Baptiste was incredible and made amazing recommendations. The menu for food and drinks had lots of great choices and everything came quickly. Some of our favorites included the short ribs, filet, and halibut. The drinks were all tasty and beautifully presented. All the desserts were great but the cheesecake (which seemed to use the same jam as the lemon raspberry cream pancakes) and the tiramisu were especially amazing. We look forward to coming again as there were many items on the menu we didn't get to try that looked great.

This dining experience was extremely overstimulating so I needed to be brutally honest here. Save your time and money and energy and dine in literally anywhere else. The restaurant is always hustle and bustle, and there is always a line of people lingering both on the inside and outside of the restaurant. The hostesses kept telling us to go from outside to inside back to outside back to inside to wait for a table. We ended up landing a table inside and we were constantly getting bumped into and pushed around due to the line forming in front of our table and people squeezing in to sit at the barstools behind us. I ordered the California Benedict and it was $25. It was very flavorful and delicious and there is nothing bad to say about the food itself here. It was served with potatoes and I asked for the potatoes to include onions. It was delicious. 10/10. Paying over $30 for an eggs Benedict including tip just to be immediately asked to leave upon payment because "there was a line" of people waiting was kind of crazy. I could see if we were staying and chatting for an additional 30 minutes to an hour, then maybe it would be OK to ask us to leave but only a few minutes after tapping our card to pay was insane. The overall ambience and experience of the restaurant is very overstimulating. To conclude, I am just disappointed with this experience and wish we were not asked to leave.

I have been here many times over the years but this was the first time as locals after moving here from Atlanta. This is a review of our most recent visit during the holidays and for dinner for the first time. Apparently they have just added this service recently (within a month of our visit) We have never had a bad experience here over the years. Its a great location and a cute little spot. Staff was very kind, friendly, and knowledgeable. We walked right on during ht holidays - no wait. Sat outside and it was a bit chilly for us. I would love to see them add some sort of heating for winter outdoor dining at night. We ordered a burger and the French dip sandwich, as well as two glasses or wine and desert. Both sandwiches were good. I want to try the pasta next time though. The fires where the true star. We almost ordered a second round - that's how good. We got into conversation with our server while they were clearing they accidentally threw out what reminded on our plates that we had asked to be wrapped up to take home (a few bites really - not much but hwen you are moving and you kitchen isn't set up you want all the doggy bags for easy meals) and the manager ended up comping an additional glass of wine each and my whole meal (the French dip) which was so unnecessary and above and beyond but very very kind. It def made a fan of my husband though so we will be back for dinner. This was also the first time we had been here in a few years since the updated interior and it still feels the same just refreshed. I have alsways loved the vbie. Not like most of the other offering in the Winter Park area. Kind of reminds me of spots I used to frequent in New York in college in the 2010s (in the best way)

After years of hearing rave reviews I finally stopped with a friend, kind of a year end brunch celebration. Unfortunately our experience did not quite match up with our excitement. We booked a reservation weeks in advance, however upon arriving no staff acknowledged that so I'm not sure it's entirely necessary or helpful. Luckily the line moved fast and it didn't take too long to be seated inside. I was surprised but how far back the seating went! It's a bit cramped but still I love the aesthetic inside. Speed of service was inconsistent, which is understand given how busy they were. But overall service attitude was great and very helpful with suggestions and answers on the menu. Food overall was good, but not as good as hoped given the prices. Nothing particularly wrong, just not memorable. I will say portions were large and i couldn't even finish my plate. We both also ordered coffee, a cappuccino for myself that was as expected. My friend struggled to left a flavored latte as the bitter espresso took over the flavor profile each time.

BY FAR SOME OF THE BEST FOOD WE HAD IN FLORIDA! we showed up on a Sunday for brunch after out initial plans for the day got cancelled. We got super lucky and got seated almost immediately after we got in line! The service was great and our server had GREAT suggestions. The location is super nice with plenty of interesting art work and fixtures. The food was truly the star of the show! From the cocktails to the mail course... I had ZERO complaints. We got the short rib eggs benedict and the Banana Pecan Pancakes (can't remember if that's the right name but it was a season item)! The pancakes were cooked to perfection with a great syrup and candied pecans to add a depth of flavor. Putting short rib and hollandaise on a plate of hash browns may be NEXT LEVEL brilliance. I would come here again just for these two items.

This place is busy busy busy!! But don't let that deter you from trying it out! I had brunch here with two friends and honestly we didn't have to wait too long because we were a smaller party. The food was delicious and the service was great. You cannot help but feel whoever was in charge of the seating layout attempted to cram a table wherever it fit so that wasn't ideal, but nothing that would keep me from coming back. Really cute spot overall.

Great food service and atmosphere.. plenty of street parking and free garage around the corner. .. we split burger that was delicious!!

My friend and I found a video on instagram of the Short Rib Benedict and we knew we had to go to Briarpatch and try it for ourselves. Walking into Briarpatch it was just as busy as usual but our server sat us right away. We sat by the window where it's nice and cozy, a perfect spot to people watch as well. We ordered the Short Rib Benedict as well as the Raspberry & Brie Stuffed French Toast. We split both plates between us two and there was so much food that we could've shared with a third person. The short rib meat on the Benedict was so tender and melted in your mouth. The chipotle hollandaise was just the right amount of heat while adding good flavor. The stuffed French toast is always picture perfect as it is delicious. The Brie and raspberry combination is as classic as peanut butter and jelly, and on top of pillow soft French toast you can't go wrong. Briarpatch always has the best consistency with service with the freshest ingredients. That's why I will continue to be a regular customer.

We found this spot on a whim and when we saw the line out of the door, we took it as a good sign! I had an espresso martini, and one of their specials--pork belly waffle with eggs. Absolutely delicious and large portion that i couldn't finish. Located in a posh area with lots of people watching and a farmers market on Saturdays. A bit pricey but some of the best food I had on my trip!

Arrived here and was shocked to find out there was a line outside to get check in. At first glanced the line appeared very lengthy however it moved pretty quickly. Seemed like the line was mostly made up for parties larger than 2. If your a party of 2 things move quicker then a party of 4. Seating both inside and outside - but we were seated inside (thankfully because it soon rained). Inside is basic decor but tastefully decorated and cute. Our waitress was great giving this place was full! They sat us in the front by the door , not the best seating at all with people going in and out and hovering over you. Definitely did not like the idea of a line right near you inside . Seems like the line starts inside then extends to outside of the sidewalk. Either way, we weren't going to wait longer than our 30mins because we were HUNGRY! We started off with drinks I had the tiki mocktail - excellent but I would order it without ice because the taste quickly changed once the ice started to melt and it was horrible after. My sister order the piña colada and again the same issue . Tasted horrible once the ice melted- other than that it was great with enough of alcohol in it! Now let's get to the food !! Boy oh boy was it great! I ordered the southern breakfast- scrambled eggs , bacon , green tomatoes and homestyle potatoes- it was great all of it ! I ate my entire plate! Plus my very berry pancakes which was the best of the best the mascarpone with jam was a perfect combination! My sister was looking at me in amazement because i definitely ate majority (ok may be more like 90%) of the double stack on my own because it was too good to stop! My sister ordered the bacon and mushroom omelette and she too said it was great. It literally was that good and we both left in a food coma! I'm already making plans to return again!! This will not be the last time for sure!!

We stumbled upon this little gem on our way to Mount Dora and only stopped because the place was packed and we all know that's the best sign. Turns out, we were absolutely right. The food? Fantastic. The service? Spot-on. The grits were so good they could win awards (or at least my heart). And the slice of red velvet cake? Let's just say it was big enough to qualify as a weekend companion because it lasted for days! This cozy Winter Park spot is as charming as it is delicious. If you're anywhere nearby, do yourself a favor and stop in. Your taste buds will thank you.

Fun breakfast / lunch spot in the downtown area. The line to be seated moved quickly and our server was happy and helpful. Food was delicious - especially the quiche, breakfast potatoes, tomato soup and carrot cake. Definitely recommend!

My friend and I went for Sunday brunch and we were promptly greeted and requested to sit outside due to the nice weather. There was ample seating outside, some covered and the rest with umbrellas. Inside seemed a bit more crowded. I ordered the short rib benedict and my friend had the chocolate chip banana pancakes with a side of bacon.The service was amazing. Our waitress made suggestions since it was our first time there. She also kept our drinks filled and brought our food out very quickly. Everything was served fresh and hot. The Benedict came with a chipotle hollandaise which was not spicy at all, but still delicious. I added a blood orange mimosa which was a nice addition to a relaxing Sunday brunch.

We came here for dinner on a Friday night. I was so surprised that we were able to make a same day reservation for a group of 8. Perhaps because the dinner menu is newer. Everything we had was incredible. The Caesar salad is the best I've had in a long time. We all had different dishes and nobody was unhappy with their decisions. I had the short rib with mashed potatoes. My boyfriend had the French dip sandwich (it puts hillstone french dip to shame) and we would both highly recommend both options. Everything was flavorful and fresh. I believe they change the menu every week so we can't wait to go back and try some different offerings. I wish we would have saved room for dessert. They had a good happy hour with $10 cocktails and a few appetizers -I'd highly recommend the old fashioned and olive tapenade.

Had an amazing breakfast at Briarpatch! The service was excellent--friendly, attentive, and fast without feeling rushed. The prices are a little higher, but you absolutely get what you pay for. The portions are generous, the food is fresh and flavorful, and the overall quality really stands out. The decor is beautiful, the ambiance is warm and inviting, and it really adds to the overall experience. Definitely worth it, and I'll definitely be coming back!

This place is amazing! It was recommended by an Orlando local so my friend and I took a drive to Winter Park to check it out. We were fortunate to get in right away since the line just grew and grew. They didn't have reservations available until 2pm so we lucked out. The restaurant was simple and cute, more tables than decor, but definitely as needed. There was a nice outdoor area, but it was too cold to ask for an outdoor table. The service was wonderful. Our waiter got to us immediately, our water was refilled as needed, our delicious appetizer, fried green tomatoes was brought quickly with our breakfasts arriving soon after. Although a little pricey I decided to suck it up because I really wanted to try the short ribs eggs Benedict, which was to die for! The ribs just melted in your mouth, the hash browns were perfectly crispy, the eggs perfectly cooked and the hollandaise sauce was the best I've ever had! These guys have got it going on! My friend had the raspberry pancakes and could not stop raving about how good they were. We were unable to find out how they did them so well because our waiter said that they keep their recipes secret! If you are in the area or even close make sure to try this place!

This was my first time coming to this restaurant and I can say from the service to the food, everything was amazing. It does get very packed and for a Friday at 12:30PM, I was little surprised. We did have a table waiting so it didn't take long and the food + drinks came out relatively fast. It was easy to split checks if you're with a party and even though there were a lot of people in the establishment, it wasn't too loud. I would definitely go again if I'm in the area.

I have heard so many wonderful things about Briarpatch and was excited to come here for the first time. We went on a Sunday around 2pm so the wait wasn't too long for a table for 4 people. They had indoor and outdoor seating. We sat inside because it was a hot day. I ordered the nutella waffle, my husband got the very berry french toast, and my kids got chocolate chip pancakes. I was amazed at how big the portion sizes were. We easily took home leftovers for another day. The food was delicious but my husband's french toast came out a little overcooked and it was very sweet for him. Maybe the combination of the sweet berries, syrup, and mascarpone was a bit much. Overall it was a nice place and I would definitely come back and try other options on the menu.

Briarpatch is a fantastic place to dine. The food is incredible, and the service is top-notch. We often pass by, but it's always packed. We particularly enjoy their eggs Benedicts. The ambiance is lovely, with both indoor and outdoor seating options. I prefer the indoor seating because it's a bit too noisy. Overall, we have had a great experience at Briarpatch.

Really enjoyed brunch here! The food was a 10/10, everything was fresh and flavorful. Absolutely loved the waffles. Service was awesome even though the place was bustling. It is a quite small restaurant so that would be my only complaint, but would definitely recommend and come again!

Started my "me weekend" off with brunch here. I was warmly and promptly greeted by the host, seated right away, and handed a menu. The service from start to finish was amazing. I ordered the Southwest Omelette, which came stuffed with chorizo sausage, cheese, beans, and avocado. It was flavorful, though a bit too heavy on the cheese for my taste. I also tried the waffle, it was fluffy but I was hoping for a little more crispiness around the edges. Surprisingly, the biscuit stole the show, I didn't eat it until later, but it was absolutely delicious, next time, I'll skip the waffle and go straight for the biscuit! The atmosphere was really fun and welcoming perfect for kicking off a relaxing weekend.

Food: For the most part, the food was good. I liked everything on the Southern breakfast. They are serving the food so fast that I don't feel my waffle was cooked all the way so I took two bites and gave up. The pancake was cooked but too doughy for me. My husband thought it was good though. The cheesy grits.. I liked it but my husband thought it was tooo cheesy. The bacon had the perfect crisp and taste. The eggs were perfect with the right amount of fluff. Service: For a small party, we didn't have to wait at all so that was great. They were super nice and helpful for newcomers. They kept up with waters and seeing how we were doing. Like I stated, they were quick with the food but just need to make sure the food is completely cooked. Ambiance: it's a small space so if you get there late, you will probably have to wait. They have indoors and outdoors (using the front and trying to avoid path way). Cute little place.

Short, sweet, and to the point Briarpatch is 1000% worth the hype. Seeing the long line down the block at first was a little nerve wrecking for what it might be like inside but it simple moved efficiently and quickly! Once we were inside the kind waitress we had was a hit! The food was delicious and it all came out so quickly! I will definitely be coming back!

This is a place I've heard so much about and actually lived up to the hype. First thing's first, the restaurant is a little small and gets really packed (rightfully so). If you're dining with a party, they all have to be present in order to be seated, there's also a small countertop you can sit at on a first come, first serve basis. The wait list seems a bit chaotic but the staff runs it very smoothly. Our server was pleasant and helpful. I ordered the southern breakfast and everything was so hot and fresh and savory. Not a bland morsel in sight. The bacon was nice and crispy and the eggs were fluffy and cheesy. I was pleased with the serving sizes as well, I actually had to take a to go box for my food and I left so happy and satisfied. I will definitely be back!

Briarpatch truly knows its craft when it comes to food. The taste, the quality, and above all the presentation are exquisite you can tell there's real passion in that kitchen. Every plate comes out looking like a little piece of art, and the flavors absolutely match the beauty.The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the experience at the entrance. I understand it's a very busy and popular establishment (for good reason), but the attitude from the host felt unnecessarily dismissive. I was skipped four different times, with people being seated ahead of me, even after my guest arrived. No apology, no acknowledgment, just a cold "you have to wait," which made the whole situation uncomfortable. A little courtesy goes a long way especially in a place that clearly puts so much love into its food. I'm mentioning this in hopes it brings awareness, because with just a bit more attentiveness and professionalism at the host stand, this restaurant would easily be a solid 5-star experience

Had just finished a conference in Orlando, and needed to kill some time before my late afternoon flight. I chose Winter Park as I wanted to visit the Morse museum and hit up some shopping. I actually found parking very easily, but it could be because it was a Friday morning and not a weekend. I saw the bright yellow awning of Briarpatch, and gave a quick search for reviews and saw that it was highly rated so I gave it a try. I was seated quickly on the outdoor patio at an umbrella table. All of the menu looked delicious, but I chose to go with the pecan waffle. One thing for sure, you cannot complain that they are chintzy with the pecans! The pecans are not in the waffle batter, but there is likely a full cup of butter toasted pecans piled on top! In fact, I could barely finish all of the pecans, so I scooped them up in a to go box for later. Halfway through my breakfast, it started to rain, and then it started to pour. As the rain began falling, my waiter came out and encouraged me to move to a table still outside, but under the roof where it was more protected. I was glad I did when it really started to pour. The staff was attentive, service was great, and food was excellent! It was a perfect start to a great day!

The Briarpatch is one of my all time favorite breakfast spots to go to. My best friend lives in Columbus, Ohio and whenever she visits this is our first stop (she always flies in early in the morning). Once you figure out where to park which can be a bit of a pain depending on the day, the experience is great! Note: it gets VERY busy on the weekends and there will likely be a wait. I mostly go as early as possible anticipating this. There is indoor and outdoor seating available. I always like looking at their seasonal menu to see see what they look but I tend to order off the regular menu most of the time. Two of my favorite breakfast orders are their eggs benedict or steak and eggs. I always get a cappuccino (or two). It always hits the spot. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THEIR CHEESE GRITS. So so so so good! I can confidently say that this spot is a Park Ave staple and you need to go at least once but you'll likely go a lot more than that!

Rice Bowl was flavorful with a good combination of spices and balance. It comes with poached eggs but I substituted it for sunny side up. Tasty and not too heavy. Food was surprisingly very fast, so fast that I still didn't have water by the time by good came out

I was impressed at how fast the line moved on a Saturday morning. We only waited about 10 minutes before we were sat inside. Other than it being incredibly loud, we had a great experience. The service was great and the food was delicious.

Freshest, most delicious food I've had to date on Park Ave since visiting the area. Staff is amazingly friendly and professional. The dining area and seating inside is very comfortable and clean. Planning on visiting during the weekend, arrive early! Can't wait to return and enjoy some more great food!

This place has the most incredible food in central Florida. The wait time goes by pretty quickly, but the inside is a little bit packed. I felt like the staff was struggling to move around the tables because there was a lot of people. There were also a couple of flies that were just Swarming around the inside of the restaurant, but outside was extremely hot and we didn't want to sit out there, I do think with the place as busy as this they definitely should make sure that there are no flies in the restaurant but outside of that it is a great place to eat, and I would recommend it.

No matter what meal time you choose Briarpatch is going to deliver perfection. The setting is idyllic in the heart of The Park Avenue District and the portions are generous. I've never been disappointed.

My family loved our breakfast! Worth the wait!! This restaurant is special because the menu offers variety in breakfast and lunch. Sweeet meeting savory in a chefs kiss way not your grandmother's kitchen. The presentation on all the dishes we saw including ours looked delicious to eat and great potion sizes. This restaurant is very busy on weekend so the smaller the party the quicker you will be seated. Inside of the restaurant is a little tight but we enjoyed ourselves. Our waitress was nice and professional. I loved everything and look forward to coming back! It is pricey so don't be shy to spend if you go by :)

The wait can be brutal at Briarpatch, especially in the summer waiting outside. Once the wait is over - the inside can be a bit loud and bustling. The tables are quite close to each other. Overall, the pancakes are delicious. The cakes looked amazing, I didn't save any room to sample them unfortunately.

Wow! What a fabulous, happy, and bright atmosphere at Briarpatch Restaurant in Winter Park. I had lunch with my friend Beth and we could not stop talking about the fresh and tasty food, Also their amazing hospitality. This is located in the heart of Winter Park on Park Avenue so parking is limited but not impossible. The restaurant has a sidewalk veranda for outdoor dining and its menu is great for a brunch as they serve breakfast and lunch items. You have to try their chunky salad and I hear they have outstanding burgers too. I can't wait to bring my husband for his favorite red velvet cake on his birthday! Loved it, bravo, Briarpatch!

We've been here several times, and the food is consistently delicious. The soft scrambled eggs are especially amazing--somehow impossible to recreate at home. The bacon is perfectly cooked, and the biscuits with honey butter are a must-try. The pancakes are beautiful and tasty, though very heavy. The bigger question: is it worth an hour-long wait? For us, probably not. While the food is excellent, it's also very pricey (for example, orange juice is $10). There are plenty of places that do a great brunch without charging as much. That said, we haven't tried all the local brunch spots, so it's possible others compare similarly.

The good: Our waitress was very kind, attentive, and accommodating. The blueberry lemon pancakes were great! The short rib meat by itself was good, too. And a biggie for me, the music was nice and fitting. The bad: The bananas foster latté tasted like it was made with very low quality refrigerated/store bought espresso and syrups- Just like my cold brew at home. For the price, that was pretty disappointing. The fried green tomatoes were cooked well, but as someone from the deep south, these honestly just tasted like dull fried pickles; The tomato flavor was almost nonexistent. All in all, between our two meals and appetizer, none of the flavors matched the prices. If you do end up visiting Briarpatch, try your best to get a spot outdoors. The vibe inside is not great and the atmosphere definitely adds to the experience. There are better places in the area.

First time at Briarpatch and was very impressed with both the food and service. I had the French Toast (plain) with sugar free syrup and breakfast potatoes, and both were delicious!! We (as a party of 4) went on a Sunday around noon and waited in line for about 24 minutes, but the wait was definitely worth it. Everyone enjoyed their meals, which were served in less than 15 minutes after we placed the order. As for the ambiance, the restaurant is clean with simple decorations, however they maximize the seating area so there's not much space between tables. Our waitress (Melissa) was excellent, she was patient and knowledgeable, she answered our questions with impressive knowledge of the menu item ingredients, serving portions and pairings. Overall fantastic experience and highly recommended trying their breakfast menu!

We ordered the Nutella waffle and cremini mushroom omelette. I wanted a decaf latte or fresh orange juice, but they don't have a decaf option or fresh juice which was a bit disappointing. But the two entrees we ordered were excellent. The Nutella waffle had lots of nutella and strawberries. The whipped cream tasted like melted ice cream, it was delicious. The omelette had mushrooms that were seasoned excellently and good amount of cheese. Overall, a bit pricey but great spot.

My favorite brunch restaurant not just in Orlando but anywhere. Their food is incredible, the staff is helpful and earnest, and it's right across from the winter park farmers market. You absolutely can't go wrong here.

There's always a line down Park Ave for the Briarpatch, and it's understable why. The food is divine! I truly feel this is one of those restaurant where you can't order a bad menu item. On this visit I tried the spicy roast beef sandwich, and I wish this were a regular menu item. It featured peppers, tomato, arugula, burrata, and a sauce that complemented the high pile of roast beef perfectly. Because this place is so great, be prepared for it to be jam-packed inside and pretty loud. I recommend requesting a table outside if you're able to.

Such a great restaurant to stop by when visiting the beautiful city of winter park. I went during the holidays and although they had a limited menu, everything we ordered was delicious. I had the grilled cheese and was surprised at how they elevated the dish so nicely. Will definitely get dessert next time! Service was great.

Easily described as the "creme de la creme" of brunch! I absolutely love Briarpatch and can't believe I'm only saying so now. If you opt for outdoor dining, you almost feel like you're in a European cafe. The tables are a bit packed in but the food easily makes it worthwhile. Of course there's the indoor seating area if that's more your speed. But about the food? I can't sing enough praise. Everything I've ever eaten has been delicious. It's elevated or a step above the other brunch choices in the area. Plus the plates are nicely sized! Today we had some quiche and very berry French toast. I love how crispy the French toast is and that they serve it with pure maple syrup. The very berry comes complete with fresh berries, compote, and mascarpone! Triple slam dunk! Because we couldn't resist, we also grabbed a plate of truffle French fries and let me please beg of you to try these! They were so crispy and fragrant. I adore BP and highly recommend it IF you have the patience to wait. They unfortunately do not take reservations and are always busy. Even on weekdays and off hours, I've never been able to be seated immediately. I do wish they'd start taking reservations! But the great food and great service brings me back!

Be careful and don't let expect ANY modifications. Waited in line (typical), finally got to put an order in after a solid wait, they said they were too busy to make modifications (including not putting pickle on a sandwich or asking for no dairy on an order). I've never had that at a restaurant ever. lol. Without minor modifications two of us couldn't order what we came for. The manager came out after a six minute wait, (a young high schooler) who was unable to say if they could modify an order or not, which we already knew. He also couldn't take our order so we waited another five minutes to put an order in. Way too long for a lunch. They literally did the bare minimum to engage with us. My parents said they'd never go back. The manager never really apologized. Yikes. Totally disappointed long time customer. Easily the worst experience I've had there. Be wary.

Loved my first time at Briarpatch. The place is really cute, reminds me of some of the brunch spots in New Orleans. Our waiter, I believe his name was Brian was great, he gave us recommendations of how to enhance our meals and they did not disappoint. I had the Southern Breakfast which he told me to get the scrambled eggs with Parmesan. Soo flavorful. My friends had the Nutella and strawberry pancakes & the California Benedict. Both were enjoyed! I had the blackberry lemonade cocktail with bourbon. It was good but a little too strong for my liking. I would definitely return!
