If you’re anything like me, brunch isn’t just a meal….it’s a weekend event. Whether you’re a savory scrambler, a sweet tooth with a thing for pancakes, or someone who just really needs a mimosa before noon, Orlando (and its charming neighbors) totally delivers. I’ve rounded up my favorite local brunch spots that are big on flavor and full of personality—no chains here, just good vibes and even better eats. Let’s dig in!
Top Brunch Spots in Orlando
Se7en Bites
617 N Primrose Dr, Orlando
Brunch: Thursday–Friday, 8 AM–3 PM Saturday-Sunday 9 AM-3 PM (closed Monday-Wednesday)
This Milk District gem is my go-to when I’m craving that stick-to-your-ribs Southern comfort. The portions are generous, the desserts are decadent, and the vibes are retro diner perfection.
Must-try: The 7th Trimester – buttermilk garlic biscuit piled with egg, bacon, smothered with 5 cheese Mac & Cheese, and potato chip bacon crumble. You’ll never forget it.
Maxine’s on Shine
337 Shine Ave, Orlando
Brunch: Friday–Sunday, 10 AM–3 PM
Maxine’s feels like your artsy friend’s funky living room—if they were also a killer chef. The live music, cozy vibe, and creative menu make it the kind of place you want to linger.
Must-try: Lobster Eggs Benny – their delicious lobster with perfectly poached eggs and hollandaise that dreams are made of.
Redlight Redlight
2810 Corrine Dr, Orlando
Brunch: Sundays only, starting at 11 AM
Craft beer and brunch? Say less. Redlight Redlight isn’t your traditional brunch joint—it’s a legendary local beer bar that serves up a rotating pop-up style brunch on Sundays. Expect a guest chef or food truck doing the most. Be sure to check their Facebook or Instagram for weekly schedules and updates!
Must-try: Depends on the week, but if you see breakfast bao buns or a smoked brisket hash—order immediately.
Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’
Disney Springs
Brunch: Saturday & Sunday, 9:30 AM–1 PM
This is my pick for when you’re craving some Southern sass and Disney magic. Chef Art knows comfort food, and his Rise ’n Shine Brunch brings it with serious flavor.
Must-try: Hallelujah Biscuit – an open-faced biscuit topped with fried chicken, eggs, pimento cheese, and pecan-smoked bacon. It’s as extra as it sounds (in the best way).
The Monroe
448 N Terry Ave, Orlando (Creative Village)
Brunch: Saturday & Sunday, 11 AM–3 PM
This place feels like your cool downtown hangout: great patio, chill vibes, and a mix of Southern comfort and elevated diner favorites.
Must-try: Chicken & Waffles with hot honey and sage gravy. Also, the brunch cocktails are top-tier…get the Monroe Mule if you know what’s good.
The Ravenous Pig
565 W Fairbanks Ave, Winter Park
Brunch: Saturday & Sunday, 11 AM–3 PM
A foodie haven tucked into Winter Park, the Ravenous Pig is all about creative twists and quality ingredients. Their brunch is seasonal, so there’s always something new to love.
Must-try: Prime Rib Hash or the Brunch Pastry Board…..especially if you’re sharing. Bonus points for sipping one of their house-brewed beers with it.
Briarpatch
252 Park Ave, Winter Park
Brunch: Daily
One of Winter Parks most iconic dining spots. This is a must when in the area! Classic American with Southern-influence gives a brunch that feels both elegant and inviting.
Must-try: Brioche French Toast
Pro tip: Go for a walk on Park Avenue. You’ll need it.
Whether you’re brunching before a park day or just living your best mimosa life, these local spots deliver more than just a meal….they give you a moment to remember.
