Briarpatch Restaurant

This place was incredibly busy when we visited, and I can't accurately describe how LOUD it was in the indoor dining area. It was too much for my sensory needs... but my family was quickly seated outdoors and the ambiance was heavenly.But the food. Have you ever taken a bite of something and forgotten where you were? This food literally made me believe I was on a vacation somewhere beautiful, and real life didn't exist for 30 minutes. It was THAT GOOD.

I came with a group of 5 for Saturday brunch on Valentine's Day weekend. There was a line out the door which we expected. What we didn't expect was how quickly we were seated. They offered to accommodate us at a 4 person table which we appreciated (we were hungry) so we could sit faster.The food was incredible. We ordered multiple plates - not one missed. I don't think I'm easily impressed with food and restaurants. Most of the time, places with this many good reviews I find to be overhyped. But this place did not disappoint.We had the torta sandwich, pork belly waffle, lemon and raspberry pancakes, and the boys got burgers. Everything was incredible. My favorite was the torta sandwich. The brisket on it was to die for. I will be dreaming about it for the next week. The pork belly on the waffle was insane - perfect. Pancakes were delicious. So well done. I didn't try the burgers but the men were raving over it. Given how delicious the three dishes I tried were, I have no doubt the burgers were just as good.Service was also excellent! Our waitress was kind and patient which is always appreciative when you're a bigger group. Overall, such a gem of a place.

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.

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.

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!

I really enjoyed my first visit here and I'm happy I got a decent experience since I've heard so many good things about it. Our server was friendly and the place is very cute but super small for how many people try to eat here at once! The food was delicious. I got their seasonly lemon blueberry pancakes which is everything I hoped it would be. The fried green tomatoes were surprisingly better than expected but the sauce is what really made it good. My only issue is how much my total was. I understand that this is supposed to be higher end but my total came out to around $50 with tip. Which btw the minimum tip is 20% when it gives you the options... whatever happened to 15% and 18%?? It's honestly not that big of an issue I just didn't expect to spend so much on brunch when alcohol or any speciality drinks weren't purchased. I would return again for a special occasion since I did enjoy my food and the service was good. I just highly recommend getting something you can't or won't make at home because otherwise you may be disappointed.

I had a really good brunch here. And the best part is that it was on a Monday. I came here after checking out from my hotel was able to get seated rather quickly. This restaurant is pretty cramped when it comes to space and four people at a table took some maneuvering. But on a good note, our waitress was pretty pleasant and very knowledgeable with the menu. I ended up ordering a pomegranate mimosa. I didn't really taste the pomegranate, but that's OK... What we really want is the bubbles anyway which it did have... For my entrée, I ended up ordering the buttermilk pancakes, which came with fruit and pecans, and I must say these were some really great pancakes maybe number two on the best list of pancakes I've ever had. I got a side of chicken sausage, which I thought had a little too much salt in it. But overall, it was a good experience and if I'm ever in town again I will come back for those pancakes...

What a yummy brunch spot!!This place serves breakfast all day! Visited here on a Wednesday from out of town around 1pm and were seated immediately. I don't think you can go wrong with this place at all no matter what you order. Our table ordered the blueberry stuffed pancakes. breakfast torta, mimosas, drinks. The blueberry stuffed pancakes are probably the best pancakes i've ever eaten in my life. Serving portions are generous, so it's enough to eat some here and take the rest to snack on later. Drinks were pretty average priced- we did think the cost of ordering a bottle for mimosas was slightly pricey, and the small cup of orange juice they give you to drink with the bottle is kind of a joke for champagne to OJ ration...But overall would recommend to visit for brunch!

Great vibe. Indoor and outdoor seating. Very efficient and friendly staff. Excellent menu selection something for everyone! Fast delivery of food which amazing! Turkey sandwich and grilled cheese sandwich

This place is an institution. It is always a hit. Went here with my sister yesterday for brunch and my mom decided she wanted to go here also today. Everything is so delicious and fresh. Flavors are spot on. The location is perfect for a nice stroll after. Been coming here for years and will continue to come as long as they are open which I hope is a long time.
