I can vouch that Tierra Del Sol's Sunday brunch is excellent and that Lil Bits and Billy's are both very, very good. Billy's does omelets and pancakes that are much better than IHOP and IHOP is pretty good.

Havana is one place I will not return to. Three of us were there about two weeks ago and all of us got not marginal, but truly bad food. The ambience is great, our server delightful but the food awful.

Orange Blossom Hills ad a good brunch the last time we went there but we've had to stop going there because of the terrible disabled parking situation. If that is not a factor for you, then it is a good value.

We have also liked Lil Bits (in Palm Ridge across from Crispers) .. and Billy's.
I had a wonderful crepe at Billy's (On 441/27 past the Village's Hospital.)
Another favorite has been the Verandah .. but sadly they are changing this to
a Panera Bread. Not saying that i don't like Panera , ... It's a great restaurant, but
the unique ""UN-chained" restaurants are so special .

Veranda is no longer...being made into a Panera! Sonrise is owned by Christian's so I'm thinking it's a take on Son (Jesus) who "rose" after his death...vs Sunrise (as the way you'd think of it!!
All the places mentioned here are good btw...Denny's too is good for that.

My favorite for breakfast is Little Bits......excellent food, best home fries around, very good saugage gravy and biscuits. Reasonably priced, very clean facility, and pleasant wait staff.

There is a great place off 466 on 101 go past the Lang Eye Center and go left into the shopping center. It's called "Lil Bits". I couldn't make a better breakfast myself.

On what days does Katie Belle's have their breakfast buffet? It use to be on Saturday and Sunday but in an earlier post I see someone stated it was Friday and Saturday. Has the day changed?

Thanks, I was not sure about Friday's as the last time I was in TV it was only Sat and Sun. Thanks again.

Sonrise did just change hands, but it is as good as ever. We eat there every Sunday morning before church. (Used to go after church, but it was too crowded.) Now we are there @ 8am when it opens.

Default Another vote for TooJays

TooJays is my favorite too! Jim can get his ham and eggs anywhere... but, I love their Nova Bagel. The smoked salmon just melts in your mouth AND I ablways seem to get 2 meals out of it! When we have been down there the last few times we went to the one in Sumter Landing. Now that we has purchased in Summerchase I am not sure which one will be the closest... We will have to check that out when we get down there next. So far, that is looking to be just after Christmas.
