45 Best Breakfast Restaurants in Tampa

“I want to give a special thanks to Moe and Muhammad for catering our lunch today here at Advent Health Tampa, we appreciate it dearly; everything was delicious and very well presented.“

“Food was great and Marietta was the best. We were 10 and she was awesome. Thank You“

“one of the best breakfast spots in town !!! I will be back more often. thank you girls“

“During my recent visit to Himes Breakfast House, I found the overall experience to be quite average. The food served was decent, offering a fair range of breakfast options that cater to the usual tastes. However, nothing particularly stood out as exceptional or memorable. In terms of service, it was adequate but not overly impressive. The staff was polite, but the service did not exceed expectations. Additionally, the policy of waiting for the entire party to arrive before seating can be a bit inconvenient, especially for those who are on a tight schedule or have members running late. While I understand the need for efficient seating management, a more flexible approach could enhance the customer experience. It would be appreciated if the restaurant could consider seating partial parties during busier hours to alleviate the wait time. In conclusion, Himes Breakfast House provides a standard breakfast experience with room for improvement in both culinary innovation and customer service practices.“

“My wife, Bro Tom, Sis Doris and our beloved Pastor sat down to Breakfast. Good conversation nice atmosphere not crowded. Food was good, had a Western Omelette, Silver dollar pancakes, didn’t order home fries, coffee lukewarm, drink enough to be heated with more, very good. Everyone seemed to enjoy theirs. Be back!“

“I heard good things so i went on a solo breakfast date. The French toast wasnt amazing but i made a mix and ot was great! Now the highlight was the kiwi it was the best ive ever had. The house potatoes was average. The server tho made me feel like the only one there lol.“

“We both had eggs Benedict. It was great! Everything was hot & great!“

“Eggtown is a favorite of mine for several reasons. The service is excellent. The menu offers many choices and unique dishes The staff is friendly efficient and knowledgeable. The restaurant is spotless clean I strongly recommend Eggtown for breakfast or lunch!“

“I LOVE IT SO SO SO MUCH 10/10 ALL THE WAY!“

“Ended our trip to Tampa by eating breakfast here. Amazing food and great wait staff. Not a long wait for a party of 5. Waffles are amazing. Home fries were yummy and did not disappoint. Fruit was fresh on the Florida waffle and plenty of fruit. Chocolate chip pancake was yummy too.“

“very good home style food“

“My husband and I went on a walking adventure while our car was getting serviced close by and came across this café 5/23/24. Great little spot in the plaza! We ordered breakfast and got fresh fruit juice with it. The lady who works there is lovely! Definitely recommend this place as she makes great food and provides great service.“

“Great food and service. Had the breakfast sandwich on a roll, which was huge. Will be back to try other menu items !!“

“I’m sitting inside Mighty Brew Coffee and Breakfast this morning, a quaint Irish pub at night with a brilliant idea to serve some breakfast. There is a nice large, covered outdoor patio along with the entire inside seating area. The music was a great blend of classic rock ‘n’ roll and was not too loud to be considered a distraction.

I ordered the Breakfast Burrito - a whopping 3 Eggs in a flour tortilla, chorizo, peppers, onions, cheese, with green salsa on the side and served with potatoes.
I also asked for jalepenos inside the burrito with a bottle of Cholula to add to the mix as I saw fit.

The plate came out timely with the flour tortilla of the burrito crispy and the potatoes cooked to perfect with just the right amount of salt and pepper.

The amount of food was a perfect amount for breakfast and not so much that I would overeat until I got sleepy and the coffee was freshly brewed and poured into a giant coffee cup compared to many breakfast joints.

The service was also very inviting and the coffee kept coming even as I finished my meal and waited for my Ol’ lady to arrive to join me.

I would certainly recommend anyone to come here to enjoy the food and atmosphere.“

“10/10, absolutely the BEST breakfast sandwich on the market. The steak sandwich was fresh and delicious, and the sauce was incredible. Literally improved my whole day!“

“Great food and reasonably priced.“

“I’ve been a customer since 2018 & I will keep coming back because their food is so delicious! The bededict’s are my favorite. Their cinna pancakes are very good as well. Their customer service is also great the staff is always friendly & attentive.“

“I first knew about Village Inn in Omaha, Nebraska so imagine my surprise when I came to Florida. I first visited Village Inn in clearwater and then for whatever reason, it shut down and then another one on Dale Mabry and that became some other establishment, so I started coming to this one closer to Kennedy also on Dale Mabry. I was happy to see a familiar face from another location named Rosie-an amazing human being with a heart of gold. Another familiar face is Brenda and Brenda is an amazing server with super service and high attention to detail. Now Village Inn at this location can up it's game a bit by interior updates for a more pleasant dining experience. Most of the servers are exceptional such as GG, Tiffany, Sharonda, Holly, Denise, Brenda, Danielle, Angie, Jackie and Annette. GG is by far my most favorite because she is attentive, always has a smile on her face, and goes the extra mile to deliver a wonderful experience. I am a regular here and visit Village Inn when Im in town-Wish they had Village Inn in NY, NJ, CT, PA, and VA with at least one GG in each location. GG is high energy and super at her job as she takes a lot of pride in what she does and she takes her job very seriously. GG has a high attention to detail, gets every detail of my order and usually knows what I like before I ask just the way I like it. Without asking, GG is usually on top of her A-game and replenishes empty drinks and always has a smile on her face with a wonderful small talk exchange in a proactive manner. GG is a strong asset to Village Inn as a high energy server and pleasant to talk with. Tiffany is much the same way and Tiffany is super chill as well. On the same note, Ive had absolutely atrocious service by someone who forgot to give me utensils, brought the wrong dressing, and apologize for being distracted by another table to the point I had to ask for another server. I get it some people are having a bad day and got distracted we are all human . Awesome set of managers such as Joie, Rosie, Denise, and Cherie. At random times, I always pay for any law enforcement in appreciation for all they do as well as other tables just cuz. Food is fresh and tasty for most selections as well as customizing food the way I like it such as avocado salad, avocado toast, and other types of dishes done in a certain way.“

“The waitresses /waiters are always friendly and I’m never disappointed in my food; it’s always healthy tasty delicious. Therefore, please don’t hesitate in deciding on Brunchies Tampa!“

“Great little breakfast/brunch spot. Went early on Mother's day. seated pretty quick with a friendly smile. Our server was Leah (sorry if I spelled it wrong) she was 10 out 10 awesome and put up with my husband's antics. She rolled with the punches and we loved her. I'd definitely come back. I had eggs Benedict with avocado. Iced coffee was good. Thanks Leah and Le Peep“

“We have been customers forever. This place is the BEST restaurant serving breakfast and lunch. Staff is wonderful, friendly and are very concerned about their customers satisfaction. Thank you for settling in Carrollwood many years ago!“

“Absolutely delicious. We got the biscuits and gravy and the maple chicken and bacon sandwich.

Wish this place was closer to us because we'd come back a lot.

Kid-friendliness: Noise is not a problem. Kids will be fine.“

“Clean and great service. Nice location.“

“Want good comfort food that fills you up Only cons- don’t offer delivery service“

“The one thing you will find out at this restaurant is at the employees appreciate you coming in. There is a lot of competition in the immediate area and sadly the competition even uses the village in parking lot to park in but that is another story. The burger and fries were excellent as well as the chili. The manager on duty came over to my table at least four different times to make sure everything was good and it was. Thank you very much Village inn!“

“We stick to the basics most of the time, like the Tri-Fecta. Food and coffee were good as usual, but after getting our drinks, service from our server went downhill. We asked for extra napkins right after getting our drinks, and my hubby specified sugar free syrup. Our food came out via another employee. We hadn't received the napkins, and no syrup at all was brought with the food. My hubby finally asked another server, and she brought it immediately. Our waitress came out a few minutes later to the table right across from us, and went right back towards the kitchen without even a glance in our direction. She finally checked on us to see if everything was okay with our food, and shortly after brought our check. There were plenty of workers so it wasn't like that was the problem for her lack of contact. It won't stop us from going to this or other First Watch locations, it just affected her with a slightly lower tip than she could have received.“

“First time here as we moved to Tampa recently! Absolutely loved this place. Cute interior, delicious food and service was great! Highly recommend!“

“I eat here frequently and can't complain. Good food, staff is helpful and friendly, quick service. Great spot for a quick bite to eat or on the go. Online ordering is great too, I usually don't have to wait when I go to pick it up, even on busy mornings.“

“AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING! I could not recommend a better Lebanese place in the area. Highly recommend!“

“A Wonderful Breakfast Experience
I recently had the pleasure of visiting for breakfast with my children, and I must say, it was an absolutely delightful experience from start to finish. The moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles and a welcoming atmosphere that immediately made us feel at home. The staff was incredibly attentive, ensuring that every need was met without us even having to ask.
The menu offered a fantastic variety of options that catered to both adults and kids, which is always a plus when dining out with children. Each dish we ordered was not only beautifully presented but also bursting with flavor. The freshness of the ingredients was evident in every bite, and the portions were generous, leaving us all completely satisfied.

What stood out the most was the exceptional level of service. The staff went above and beyond to make sure our experience was perfect. They were patient with my kids, engaging them in conversation, and even brought out a little extra treat for them, which made their day. It's rare to find a place that combines great food with such outstanding customer service.

I can confidently say that we will be returning many more times in the future. It’s not just a place to grab a meal; it’s an experience that leaves you wanting more. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a top-notch breakfast spot, especially for families. Five stars!“

“First of all, I was asleep on the depth of flavor of the darkest roast of coffee. A friend of mine who used to work at wafflehouse recommended this blend and although I was hesitant, I was pleasantly surprised. This roast was as good as any French press, Starbucks, dunkin, Sumatra brand I had tasted thus far. Try it black before you decide to add a bit of chocolate milk to your drink. The hashbrowns were made to perfection as always. Lastly, the staff and customer service was outstanding. Loretta is an absolute gem of a human being with a beautiful soul. She was very thoughtful and genuine when she spoke to us at our table. We felt like we were greeted by family instead of simply being at a restaurant. I would return here repeatedly simply to see her and have another cup of this dark roast coffee. 5/5 recommend ?“

“We’ve been anxious to check out Very Berry and it did not disappoint in any way. My omelette was perfectly cooked and very well seasoned, and my daughter’s crêpes were beautifully presented and very tasty. The staff were lovely, the interior has a nice homey feel, and everything was kept clean. We will certainly be back to try the lunch menu soon! Thrilled to have a great brunch spot like this in our backyard!“

“Ranch house restaurant is tucked away in a quiet corner of a busy business plaza. As soon as you enter the door you are taken back in time to the simpler times when things felt more genuine and real. Everything about this restaurant screams authentic and home. The food comes out to order, a little on the unseasoned side but nothing a little salt and pepper at the table can’t fix. They have crystals hot sauce at the table and the water is COLD! The Servers are friendly and attentive. Overall I will keep coming here after work to fill my belly with some good food.

Ps look at the biscuit in the photo… that bad boy is THICK! ?

Kid-friendliness: Kids eat free, one kid per adult.“

“fast friendly service. the staff was dancing and singing to the oldies on the radio. good fun. good was hot and delicious. definitely coming back if in the area again“

“Have been a few times to this place and I think it really deserves the review.
Very clean location. Never had a dirty coffee cup as it always happens in other restaurants. Food is delicious, fresh and hot. Servers are very nice and professional. I’m not a dine out person because of how scary is to eat out without knowing what are the kitchen conditions but I will definitely keep this location as one of my choices if I want to go out to eat. Thank you First Watch Henderson Rd.“

“When coming through the door we was greeted by the whole staff and managers. I thought it was a prank because I never seen this before. Everyone was very nice and patient. Food was great!! I will return again to this location when I come back to Tampa.“

“Terry was amazing with our group of 13. Food was wonderful and fast. Thank you!!!“

“Went there for lunch. I ordered the hamburger with hashbrowns and an egg over medium on my burger. My server was trinity. She was very professional cared about her customers and very attentive to her customers. The food was excellent. Burger cooked just right and the over medium egg was perfect. Definitely will come back. Both for the food and service“

“Good service friendly people And bring your dog too. But best of all great food, imaginative menu“

“Convenient location. Easy to get in/out of parking lot. The food was prepared quickly, was presented well and tasted great. Carmen, my server was very pleasant, professional, attentive and just all around wonderful. She was the only server on duty and had several tables two of which were a 6 top and 7 top so extra kudos to her for covering us all and doing such a great job of it. My only issue was the smell of old grease throughout the restaurant. I almost got up and left before ordering but was so hungry and love IHOP food so I persevered.
Thank you to the cook and Carmen. They are both wonderful representatives of IHOP. ?“

“I have NOT tasted seasoned food from IHop in forever. We stopped dining at IHop because they have literally lost the flavor touch. This restaurant, the chef seasoned our food to perfection. It was so tasty, hot, and on time. We did not have to wait a long time for our food to come out. The staff CARES. They were making food recommendations to customers smiling, the atmosphere was light and happy. Thank you, finally a good, hot meal.“

“Went back after the below notes and everything was excellent- plenty of butter and great service and perfect food!

Insulting!
When my boyfriend and I come to this IHOP the service and the food is always excellent.

This time time I came by myself and order a combo with four pancakes, egg sausage, and hashbrowns.
Even though I’m paying extra for four pancakes instead of two with this dish…
I am told I can only have two butters for four pancakes.
This is highly insulting! The server was not responsible, but blamed his management.
Something’s gotta give with this govt. administration ruining the economy to this extent! Thank you Mr. Biden!“

“Showed up late with a big group and Michael was the only server available. He immediately proceeded to help us with a great attitude. The service was excellent. I have never been to an IHOP and received service like this. Michael is the best.“
