Himes Breakfast House

Himes is the Bomb of a breakfast establishment. Food was over the top. Yes. Yes, it was eggs for breakfast but Himes gives everything an upscale flavor. Fried green tomatoes were light, crunchy, and tasty. Too many places serves this dish swimming in grease; NOT Himes. Their 4-egg omelettes are huge! The 'Sogs -n- Nogs' has a red pepper hollandaise sauce that was over the top. Coffee is a medium to dark breakfast roast. Decent flavor and they provided us a carafe for each person for endless refills.

We've had this spot on our list for a while! I knew I wanted to try a bunch of things off the menu so that's what we did! Carb load alert! We ordered 1 pancake, 1 Belgian waffle, 1 French toast, the catfish breakfast with home fries and scrambled eggs, a side of loaded grits and a side of bacon. Our server was awesome and even made recommendations for our next visit! The pancake and French toast were delicious. The waffle was a little too sweet for me even with no syrup. The catfish was delish until we got to the middle and realized it wasn't all the way quite cooked through. Our server was apologetic and removed it from the bill. It was packed when we first arrived, but the wait wasn't too long at about 5 mins, but I can definitely see why the folks were there. I enjoyed most of the items and am intrigued enough to come back to try some other lunch items.

Bright. Clean. Casual. Friendly. Super efficient. Welcoming. Modern, but not cold. Himes Breakfast House is all of this and more. Rise and shine, indeed! But I can't go any further with this review until I say three things: butter! rum! syrup!!!!!!!! It comes with the bananas foster French toast and together, they're life changing. Delicious, delightful, divine... and you get a huge, gorgeous serving. I'm breathless just thinking about it. I better pull myself together and start a new paragraph. So, this is HBH's second local location. The other is in south Tampa and I've been there, too. This one is along SR 60 in Brandon-in the old Jimmy Hula's location, just west of the Lithia Pinecrest intersection. It's been painted and spruced up, in the same gray, white, orange and blue color scheme as the original. I wandered in on a Tuesday morning and was seated right away. It wasn't crowded right then, but it was busy. I agree with the others-it has a "modern diner" feel to it. It's sunny, fresh and warm, thanks to the cheerful staff and all the natural light. My server-Haven, I believe-was extremely nice and attentive. She was as pleasant as the surroundings I couldn't have been happier.They have an extensive breakfast lineup (I'm trying the lemon ricotta pancakes next time) and a lunch menu as well. I also spotted mimosas on the menu-and I believe they do brunch on the weekends. There's ample parking (look around the corner-there's more than meets the eye, when you first turn in) and lots of tables.Bravo, Himes! This is a great addition to the Brandon dining scene.

Stopped in for brunch on a late Friday morning and we were greeted and seated immediately! There's a parking lot connected to the building so no trouble there. The atmosphere is like an upscale diner, with welcoming faces all around. Super cute and a great breakfast/brunch vibe!Our waitress was super helpful and gave us some recommendations for what to try (she loves the red pepper hollandaise!). I ended up going with the Himes BLT but swapped the chorizo bacon for regular bacon. I loved it, especially the twist of the fried green tomatoes! The fries were delicious and perfectly crispy. And the garlic aioli had pieces of roasted garlic inside....so good. We also got the Grilled Gouda, which my friend loved, as well as 2 Eggs with Pork Belly, Home Fries, and Toast. They loved the pork belly in both of those dishes, not something you usually see at a diner! My other friend loved her Sogs and Nogs omelet with the red pepper hollandaise as recommended by our waitress! We tried a Pancake as well but it was nothing to write home about it. Prices were all incredibly reasonable, especially for the portion sizes and speed of service!I absolutely recommend Himes and it is definitely in our regular brunch rotation now! You need to give this gem a try!

The first thing that comes to mind is WOW! If you're thinking about stopping in, do it! I came here for breakfast on a Saturday morning. It was busy however we got seated right away. The service was on point. The food was absolutely out of this world.Our waitress event gave some history on this establishment. This is a true local mom and Pop restaurant. The first location opened up in 2022 on the Himes Ave (hence the name). The owners are the same people who opened the beloved shells, which is located all over the Tampa Bay area. I can honestly say all the food was fresh and made to order. The coffee was strong and delicious. I recommend the pork belly Benny. It was something different and very tasty. If you get the grits definitely get them Jessie's way. If you're in the area, definitely check this local breakfast spot out. I know I will definitely be back.

Finally Opened!!This is their 2nd location now in Brandon and it's very spacious inside with plenty of seating 3 tables to be exact. They have breakfast and lunch options that you can't go wrong with. My go to is always the Lumberjack Bowl. So good!Congrats to Steve and his team for opening their new location it's looks amazing and the food is amazing as always!

Wow! So Himes just recently opened their Brandon location and it was packed on a Saturday morning. Parking was a bit of a challenge but was well worth it. The decor is upscale diner with ample waiting space. Our group of 11 was absolutely delighted with our food. Our server was friendly and efficient. Our food arrived in a timely manner at the same time. I definitely want to return for the bananas, foster French toast. Himes is my new favorite breakfast spot!

One of the best breakfast places in Brandon definitely! It's a cute little place with a modern diner feel and good parking. We came on a Saturday morning and there was a 30min wait. All the staff were super nice and the service was relatively fast for how packed they were. I got the lemon ricotta pancakes and they are AMAZING. We also got the pork belly benny which was also yum and the home fries that came with them were seasoned perfectly.

I went to breakfast here during the week and the amazing service really stood out to me. Our server was very pleasant, upbeat and attentive. I had an order of the pancakes with egg whites and the food was pretty tasty. The rum syrup was also delicious and unique!! I'd like to go back again.

Nice place for anytime brunch. Menu not like a regular diner but delicious. Friendly service.
