Messed up my entire order but I was late to work and couldn’t turn back. Waste of $15 but life goes on :,)

OMG! I ordered on Doordash for the first time and it was AMAZING. A hidden gem! Everything was fresh, the portions were very generous and the price is great! The food has a lot of flavor and was even presented nicely for delivery! Definitely stop by here or order online it’s worth it. I will definitely be visiting in person!

Absolutely delicious! My husband and I were looking to explore a new dining spot, and we stumbled upon this hidden gem. The owner/chef clearly puts a lot of love and care into their restaurant. The food and service were top-notch. Even though we live in Lutz, we will gladly make the trip back here for both breakfast and lunch.

The hospitality was great but the food was the real winner. I had the Pigs and Chicks Omelet and it was amazing. They used the same ham and pork that they used in my wife’s Cuban sandwich. Both were 10/10. The chef even whipped up a pancake really quick for our 2 year old, just out the kindness of his heart. I will absolutely be back.

Wish I would have taken a picture, but it looked just as good as it tasted. I got the New Yorker breakfast sandwich and the potato o brien. 10/10 recommend. I’ll be going back for sure!

Awesome place to eat and enjoy the atmosphere. You will be met at the door and asked if you are a 1st timer. If you answer yes, the owner will ask you for 30 seconds to explain how things are made and let you know options available for any menu changes.Your food is cooked right then and there. Food was delicious and the owner stopped by the table 2 or 3 times asking if we needed anything and if everything was okay. Owner had a great personality and a big voice and made the visit a great experience.Parking: Restaurant in on the water so it is a short walk from either parking lot.

The best Cuban sandwich I've ever had. The employees were very friendly and had great customer service skills.The place is tucked away but they have signs easily visible pointing towards the entrance at suite 1020. You must be a Renee if you can't find the place.

This may be the best breakfast I have ever eaten in my life, and I am not exaggerating. I had the Red Bomber (with sausage and an egg over medium) and everything about it tasted exceptional. I tried a few bites of my mom's omelet and the meat (pulled pork?) was equally fantastic. Our cashier/server (I cannot find her on the website nor do I recall her name but she was wearing red and a necklace with an A on it) was so courteous and lovely, and the chef came out to speak with the customers and gave the kids in our family (young and old) some food to feed to the turtles out back. It's a little small and hidden but I would not pass up this gem just because of that!Parking: Located in a business center, so plenty of free and safe lot parking.Kid-friendliness: Unsure about accommodations as all the kids were older (however, there is not a designated kid's menu that I saw), but they surprised us by offering complimentary turtle food to feed the turtles out back.

Absolutely amazing place to eat. It’s tucked back by a cute pond with lots of turtles and ducks to watch swim around. The food came out quickly for how busy they were and everything was DELICIOUS. I couldn’t recommend this place enough!
