The 10 best pancakes in Stuart

They serve the best cappuccino in the area, not to mention the avocado toast. However, the most outstanding aspect of my experience was the service. The staff is incredible and always strives to ensure that customers have a great time. I would like to highlight the young man who served me, Tacket S. He was excellent—very respectful, with a great attitude and a wonderful sense of humor. He truly brightened my day. Thank you so much!

Great little cafe to stop at when visiting downtown Stuart. Good coffee and great food. The bagels and bakery items are to die for. Special are.always good. Gluten free options, vegan options. The chefs are quick and capable. Staff are friendly and hardworking. The place is charming and small. There are indoor and outdoor tables, as well as bar seating. I wish there weren't tvs in here - kind of ruins the vibe and discourages social interaction in a world where we are all glued to screens most of the time anyway.. But love this place regardless.

The options were ALL looking exceedingly tempting (and I didn't walk in hungry). I enjoyed the soup special and the sandwich special very much. I look forward to returning to try the dozens of other options that made deciding difficult.

Found this little gem on my Friday morning breakfast escapade. Food and service was great! My summer bowl breakfast was healthy and delicious. The super nova sandwich was 🔥. Absolutely love the self serve coffee station! I tried organic coffee for the first time and it was excellent. Aside from the food being great. Two things stood out to me. First, the fresh roses each table had just made my morning a little brighter. I felt like I was being gifted flowers personally! Second the wall decoration had local youth artist painting for sale, that just made my mama heart so happy! The support to those young kids is incredible. Overall an awesome breakfast spot. And if you have some free time and walk a block away you’re greeting with fresh ocean breeze! Love this place!

Recently moved to down Stuart and was walking around and happened to pop in. Ordered the steak and eggs and it was fantastic. Also tried the chicken and waffles 10/10. Our server was so kind and attentive. Overall great experience and will be dinning again!

Lovely daily specials and muffins. Delicious soups, sandwiches, and salads. Drinks are great too, I love the Mocha. Kathleen was an amazing server! Favorite spot in Stuart.

We were on vacation and went here nearly every day for breakfast and lunch for 2 weeks. Excellent quality food, creative healthy meals, amazing salads, and very lovely service. Even offered to send us off with extra tea to go each day. Wish we lived here I’d be here every day. Can’t wait to come back for January.

I’m new to Florida and was looking for good places to eat. This was my first time visiting this restaurant, and even though there was a 15-minute wait, I quickly saw why, it was absolutely worth it! The food was delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. The lady in the front that checked me in with my group was super friendly with a beautiful smile even with 50 million people coming up to her and my waiter, Brian, was amazing. I was blown away by how he took our drink orders for six people, remembered every detail (even when two of us changed our drink orders!), and handled everything with ease and a personality that shines while helping other tables. Truly impressive service! I’m very picky about food because I love to cook and hold high standards when dining out, but this place exceeded my expectations. Everything was tasty, and I can confidently say we’ve found our new go-to spot. I’ve attached a photo of my meal it tasted even better than it looks! Thank you for the great service!

We went in for brunch around 11 on a Saturday. Party of 4. No wait. The food was fantastic. The portions were huge. Hands down best brunch place we’ve been in the area. I will say that the pancakes and French toast were very very sweet so be prepared for a sugar bomb! But the savory options were also very good. The homemade biscuits are a must have. The potato pancake was so well cooked and spiced. But I have to say the service was also awesome. Greeted by all the servers, but our lady Kayla was super sweet, checked in on us multiple times, answered questions, etc she was amazing! Thank you for a great experience.

Berry Fresh Cafe This place typically serves you the most enormous quantities of food with overall very friendly service. They have a couple locations now. This was the one in Stuart. We tried the Nashville hot chicken with poached eggs and potatoes and it was excellent. Came with toast. Nothing to write home about on the toast. 8/10 Had an appetizer potato cakes. It looked 100x better than it was unfortunately. Seems they left off any and all seasonings on this one. 4/10 Then the waiter gave his recommendation of the Chorizo crisp on special and that is where it all kinda fell apart. It was just dry as hell and plain not good. Needed salt and needed to be dipped in a lot of sauces from the other dish just to get it down. Not sure why he recommended that one of maybe we got an off day. 2/10 Overall its still a good place but with so many new breakfast spots opening nowadays that don't automatically add 18% gratuity (weird for a breakfast place) and make you pay at the table while the waiter holds it (always uncomfortable) im not sure we will be back anytime soon. They do have many amazing dishes here though. 7/10 by our scoring 3/5 for Google

Service top notch it was a minimum wait, especially when checking in online. My girlfriend has a gluten allergy and we were shocked at how many selections they had. It was a complete feast!! we will definitely be back

First visit here and the experience was good. Unfortunately, the Blueberry Lemon Ricotta Belgian Waffle was too sweet. Other than that, everything else was good. Nice and friendly servers. They do have a required gratuity, so be aware of that.

This was my first time at Berry Fresh Cafe. The food was great and the service was SPECTACULAR. We came here for an early lunch on a weekday and had Brian as our server. He paid attention to all the detailed requests I had for my kids’ orders, made us feel welcomed even with two unruly kids, and is just a ray of sunshine. They already automatically include gratuity in the bill, but his services prove he’s earned it (and more!). I ordered one meal for my two tots, and he automatically brought it out split on two plates (details! I’m telling ya!). I love that their menu is so vast and varied in options that there’s something for everyone. You can go big with their mega breakfast burrito or go for a lighter affair like an açaí bowl. Of course we had to order their cinnamon roll but we were too full with our lunch to eat there so we got it for home. It’s literally the size of your face and delicious!

Cassie is great and we love the food! We come every time we’re in Stuart! My husband usually gets an omelet and I always get the cinnamon roll or Cap’n Crunch French Toast. It’s 10/10!

We stayed at the old Colorado inn for a few days. We ate here for breakfast. Pancakes were a little dry and so was the country fried steak. The country fried stake had an odd taste to it. I believe they were frying this with the same oil as everything else, I wouldn’t recommend it. Home made biscuits were huge, enough for 2 people. Service was excellent and very family friendly atmosphere. If you pay by credit card, you have to pay the service charge. Overall a good place for breakfast near downtown.

Maria's Cafe is an absolute gem! We had a phenomenal breakfast experience where both the food and service were top-notch. It was refreshing to find such high-quality meals at very affordable prices. The cafe has a welcoming atmosphere, and the food quality surpasses what you'd expect for the cost. I would highly recommend Maria's Cafe to anyone in the area or to those seeking a delightful dining experience. Don't miss out on this wonderful spot!

Food was great all around, best home fries I've had in the south. Wait staff was very attentive and friendly, had my coffee refilled without having to ask or wait at least 4 times. This might be the best diner in South Florida

The food was great! Everything from the bacon to the eggs was just the right texture , flavor and quantity. Maria’s customer service is exemplary because not only did my waitress check up on me but the other employees would also check on my table consistently. The atmosphere was very comfortable. I felt as if I was at home. Overall the experience was great and if I was ever in the area I would definitely return.

We visited here as a family of 5. I must say everything we ordered tasted so good. The staff was great about meeting needs in a timely manner. You will not be disappointed in the food and the location is great for shopping and walking the boardwalk.

First time visiting Maria’s. 2 guests for Lunch. Hostess was great! “Fresh Turkey” w Stuffing and mashed potatoes. Turkey was stacked sliced deli turkey, stuffing wasn’t even as good as stove top! Boxed mashed potatoes. Guest returned special - “ Beef Tips” Served as slices of beef. No tips about it. Waitress no help. Reordered another special- “Turkey rice soup & grill cheese. Maybe Velveeta? On sandwich. Turkey rice soup had same Deli Turkey. Sorry Maria’s - epic fail.

If it’s possible to make fluffy amazing fried eggs, Maria’s is the place !! everything we got was delicious from the biscuits and gravy, the broccoli cheese and tomato omelette was amazing, Perfect not overcooked, the the home fries were ridiculously great with onions, even the unsweetened iced tea was amazing. I don’t know how they do it but the entire meal was exceptional. I highly recommend that you stop and eat breakfast here.!! Andrea and her son Chris we amazing!!

So we went here just wanting to try a new place out. I wasn't impressed at all and neither were my wife and nieces. My wife thought the food was very mediocre and under seasoned. When you can easily make the breakfast you had out to eat better than paying for it, it becomes a let down. I am not big on breakfast so I ordered a Reuben ( my go to at a diner) and the bread was dry, almost no sauerkraut, meat tasted like it was steamed in bad flavored tap water. I didn't like it. Service was friendly but I had to wait a long time to find the server to request more water and sauce. Both nieces didn't like nor finish their breakfasts. I would say go to the cracker barrel instead for the same price breakfast but better food in the area. I wouldn't go back and wouldn't recommend it unfortunately. I wish some of these local places were better because I love a great small town spot. This just wasn't it.

This was a very cute little coffee shop/diner. Our server was extremely sweet and attentive, and we sat at a nice little table outside on the sidewalk. The food and the coffee was good as well

We went here for a celebratory brunch and we had a lovely meal. The food was really delicious and had large portions. We were so excited for it we forgot to take pictures before we dug in. Enjoyed every bite!

We come to thecarea every year to vacation and enjoy the food here. Service was great. Had to wait some to be seated. You can eat indoor or outdoor. Nice

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This gem of a restaurant is our go-to spot for breakfast and brunch, especially when friends and family come to visit! Nestled amidst modern establishments, it truly embodies that charming Florida style, complete with a family-friendly atmosphere. The food is down-home and comforting, making it the perfect place to enjoy a meal that feels like a warm hug. I love that they have a bakery, where you can pick up delightful treats to go, and a lovely area showcasing art from local artists—supporting the community while enjoying a meal is always a win! One of the best aspects is that they can accommodate dietary restrictions, which is crucial for my family and me. The specials menu is always fun and unique, offering something for everyone. The diner vibe inside adds to the cozy charm, making you feel right at home. Don’t forget to try their cappuccinos or lattes, and if you're in the mood for something stronger, they have a selection of spirits too. Just remember to make a reservation; this place is definitely worth it! Highly recommend for anyone looking for a taste of true Florida hospitality!

We absolutely enjoyed our first experience with you guys. Food was great, coffee was delicious and the service was fabulous. Very clean and friendly.

Bands on Friday night are always great. Come early music stops at 10pm. Great crowd everyone was just enjoying each other.

Craig was our waiter and he was fantastic. We had 2 little kids with us and he was very helpful, pleasant and patient with us.

Most exceptional every visit our server, Anna took such great care of us never had an empty glass or dirty plate on the table. Food was excellent I always return for the elevated egg sandwich!

Fresh and flavorful. Friendly and welcoming staff. So good we went two days in a row.

First timers at First Watch and it was awesome! Our server, Sarah, was super friendly and attentive. The food was absolutely delicious. The hollandaise on the eggs Benedict was delightful — lemony and creamy. So good! Loved the mixed green salad in the side. Nice touch! My husband loved his ham and gruyere omelet. Best part was the coffee! Great ambience too — we felt comfortable and welcomed the whole time we were there. We’ll definitely be back!

My son and I were Greta’s we walked up the sidewalk by Craig who was most hospitable and personable; the busier was efficient to accommodate my son and I quickly during a busy morning rush. Our order was promptly taken and arrived faster than expected by Chrissi who also was extremely kind and very attentive in spite of a full customer load! This kind of care and quality service is what brings me back to any establishment! Highly recommend.

Bacon was over cooked. They have great bacon but only if cooked right. Otherwise it’s just salty and bland. Eggs had one over well and two over easy. I asked for over medium. Coffee was fine but it too 10 min to get. Very loud. First watch is not what it used to be.

Tori served us yesterday, the food was AWESOME as usual but our service was the best so far! I will say this, I’ve never had bad service here so a shout out to the entire staff. This is genuinely a great spot to have breakfast or lunch.

The Original Flamingo Diner 3259 SE Federal Hwy., Stuart, FL 34997 1 Star If someone has been in the choke & puke (diner) business for roughly 40 years, one would think the food would be at least passable. Initially opened in 1983 as the Flamingo Restaurant, it became what some would consider a local landmark after 25 years in the community. The owner, Angelo, moved back to Michigan, opened another restaurant, and stayed around for 15 years. Those upper Midwest winters eventually get the best of most of us, so Angelo moved back to FL, chilled for a few years, then opened this joint. My server in this incarnation of Flamingo was humorless and sported what I conjectured to be an Eastern European accent. Upon inquiring, she informed me she was, indeed, from that part of the globe, specifically Moldavia. Score one for the Big Boy! I wasn't feeling at ease between the obvious former Stasi Agent here on prisoner exchange, the Pepsi products and the Sysco biscuits (I asked). Had I been an ailurophile, I certainly would have been missing my feline friend. I managed to finagle an order for Uncle Angelo's Big Breakfast without having to show any papers (though I know she was dying to demand to see them). I asked Agent Natalia if Uncle Angelo was still around and she barked, "No! No, Uncle Angelo!" He may be a myth, but Natalia soon brought his "Big" Breakfast, consisting of two pancakes, two eggs, and two slices of bacon, from yonder kitchen. She plopped it in front of me and, with a stern glance, moved on to attend to her other duties. As you can clearly see from the pictures, Uncle Angelo's Big Breakfast wasn't all that big (that's what she said). It was, however, inedible. The griddle cakes were akin to the powder puff bakery item of the Three Stooges; the bacon was of the lowest possible grade to still be considered fit for human consumption, and I did manage to get it down. My over-medium eggs were so poorly cooked that it begs the question if I got a trainee line cook (I did not). The Big Boy says, "Very bad. if you do come, make sure to bring 'zee papers'! But seriously, skip this dining disaster masquerading as a diner."

I enjoyed the flavors of the food! Starting with the Cream of Turkey Soup! Which really tastes like Chicken Potpie !!! Absolutely delicious! I tried one of the Specials of the day, the Chicken BLT and I loved how they toasted the wrap! My boyfriend got the Clam Strips meal which were also good however I'm guessing was the bottom of the bag and all so very small leaving not much clam. Hints the 4 stars. Service was phenomenal and everyone was very pleasant. Nice quiet place for a scrumptious meal!!!

We enjoyed ourselves The food was tasty flavorful and delicious. I got the grilled chicken and a warm pita. It was so good. I’ve definitely recommend that. Also, if you’re allergic to dairy like I am, you can get it without any cheese. It was a little noisy in there, but otherwise we enjoyed the food and we would recommend this place.

First time at Flamingo Diner, and we weren’t sure what to expect — but wow, we were impressed! This diner gets a big thumbs up from us — it’s AWESOME! Our waitress, Wendy, went above and beyond with her service. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and every employee we interacted with was friendly and welcoming. We’ll definitely be spreading the word to our family and friends, and we can’t wait to come back!

Because of the name of that place I decided to step by and try their food. I took Hawaiians omelette and meat lovers omelette. Both were great. Taste and delicious, portions were big, can’t finish my plate. They have a lot of good stuff here so everyone will find something. Nice quiet place to eat your breakfast. And cherry on top 🔝 SERVICE. Didn’t remember name that lady but she made my day. Tall, slim lady with black hairs and dark colored lips. Thank you for great service. Definitely recommend this place and will return on my next vacation.

Great place with a soith Florida fell. Great breakfast.

One of our favorite places for breakfast,brunch or lunch! The food is delicious! Very friendly and clean atmosphere. Great service. Highly recommend

If you are looking for a quick bite with no wait, free parking and food served fast, this is the place for you. However, if you want food with a good taste don’t choose the soup or turkey melt. The fries were not fresh either. We decided we’d pass on this restaurant next time.

My wife purchased a western omelet. They cooked the eggs than thru all the ingredients inside and folded it over. I never seen a omelet made that way. Terrible. Myself I purchased 2 eggs over easy with hash browns and whole wheat toast. The hash browns tasted like oil , the toast was hard with no butter and they charged me for bacon which I didn't order. Our check was $40 with tip. Never again

City Diner, I love you guys really. You have the best cheesecake on the planet. It’s rich, creamy, and honestly worth every bit of the $8 a slice… if it didn’t look like it got thrown from a moving vehicle and landed in a Styrofoam coffin. Seriously, what’s going on up front? The cheesecake deserves a throne, not a splatter scene. The front counter is being run by a group of unsupervised teens who think “presentation” means slapping the lid shut and hoping for the best. The last time I picked up dessert, I got asked if “cheesecake needs a fork”… and I just stared into the void for a minute. Y’all need to train your staff or at least let the cheesecake ride shotgun instead of tumbling around like luggage. I’m rooting for you. Just please start treating your desserts like the royalty they are. 🙏

This is my 2nd time, 1st time was delicious but i reviewed it with disappointment because of a skimpy sandwich. Well let me say this trip was flawless ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Nova bagel platter and country fried steak n eggs. Bravo!!!! Great service like last time, great price like last time, clean atmosphere like last time and very GENEROUS on the food THIS TIME!! We will be back next time we head north on the steel horse

I hate to post a bad review but I got take out and got burnt home fries/potatoes and hashbrowns and the bacon was very salty. Over all the food wasn’t the best but the service was good they were welcoming and nice but unfortunately the food wasn’t.

The liver and onions was great. I asked for a salad instead of the veggies and they catered to my request happily for my picky eater requests. Everything was tasty and fast and kind service. The doctor pepper was on point, syrupy and 😋

Went to the diner yesterday around 10 am it was empty which I thought was unusual. I looked around and saw no familiar faces and it took 5 mins for a server to come to my table. I was greeted with," are you ready to order?" My breakfast came out very fast but everything on the plate was cold.My server only came back one time and that was to have me pay the bill on her handheld device. She never asked if I wanted a refill of coffee or if food was okay which was sitting untouched in front of me. This use to be my favorite spot but now I'm never going back

Our go place 😁😃 so far so good too! I love this place and we stay overnight in the parking lot a few times here and there... So we eat there as often as we can.. So give it a try if you looking for a new place to eat .

Cracker Barrel never fails! Always delicious and so many options for any time of the day! I recently went and had the Southern Fried Chicken...abundant and very tasty. The menu is vast and sometimes hard to decide what to eat! Also, it is always fun to check out the country store - some great finds in the store to select!¡

We had an incredible breakfast experience on Sunday, all thanks to our waitress, Tara. She was attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed without being intrusive. The service was fast and she Went above and beyond to make our meal special. Definitely one of the best dining experience we’ve had recently. Highly recommend her for your next visit!!!

We had such a great experience at Cracker Barrel! The food came out hot, fresh, and exactly as we ordered, and the service was outstanding. Our waitress, Vicky, truly made the visit special. She was quick, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed without us even asking. Beyond her efficiency, what stood out most was her warm and genuine personality—she made us feel right at home. Vicky turned a simple meal into a memorable experience, and we’ll definitely be asking for her next time!

I visited the Cracker Barrel Old Country Store in Stuart with my mom and sister for breakfast (7/25/25), and had a very nice experience. From the moment we sat down, our server, Brent, made all the difference. He was phenomenal! Very attentive and genuinely pleasant throughout our entire visit. He made sure we had everything we needed without us even having to ask. Our meals were delicious but what truly stood out was the service and would be the reason I’d come back again. Thank you, Brent!

First time at this location. Went for breakfast. Server was fast, attentive, and nice. I enjoyed my food and love the pancakes and syrup here! I noticed that the hash brown casserole isn’t the same / as good.. but I did enjoy my visit.

The food is pretty good, and it's a nice southern style. Sometimes, the hash browns are undercooked, and the greens typically lack salt but are still very tasty! Fried chicken is well seasoned, and turkey Thursday is also great. The best tasting items are the biscuits and the shop carrys plenty of candy, trinkets, soaps, candles and clothes. Nice spot for a Sunday family lunch or breakfast.

Best breakfast I’ve had in a long time! Service is fast and friendly. Food comes out quick and hot and big portions! I ordered the western omelet add cheese, comes with side of the BEST home fries, and side of sausage links. Look at the size of those things! Coffee and mimosa to drink. Classic diner feel 10/10 will come back a hundred times.

Just wanted a quick bite heading home. What a great pick! Everything was good!! Crab cake sandwich, patty melt, and a Philly steak wrap. And of course, onion rings. Forgot to take the pick before we ate most of them.

An absolutely fantastic breakfast experience. Service is quick and friendly. Food comes out fast and in giant portions, more than I expected for sure. I ordered the western omelet add cheese, comes with side of the home fries and side of sausage links. Got a great coffee as my drink. I recommend giving this diner a try for some great breakfast.

Good food and good service. They have a special from 2-5 which makes it more better. Loved the food. Cooked perfectly. The servers are very polite and helpful. The service is quick as well.

Had an awesome breakfast here the other day. I'm originally from New York and this definitely gave me Long Island diner vibes. Went with the steak and eggs. Ribeye was nice and tender and the home fries had a beautiful crust on them. Huge portions too. Service was quick and efficient.

Large portions while still keeping the good flavor. The staff are genuinely friendly. Even the simple side salads with the Gyro was surprisingly large and loaded. The grits are uniquely exceptional causing us to order a second side. Great food.

I had the liver and onions, with the vegetable of the day. The portions are large for the price. The Liver was sautéed perfectly. So hard to find someone that can do that properly. My wife had the Chicken Saltimbocca. She skipped the pasta and had double vegetables. Both dishes were delicious. Service was attentive and quick. Great little dive hidden in a strip center.

Great spot for breakfast. First ever root beer experience too! Staff lovely and food great. Will be back next time I visit from the UK 😊🇬🇧

Everything you want from a smalltown diner. Large portions, lots of different choices and its all good. The prices are very reasonable also. I highly recommend stopping by.

I’ve been to Sammy J’s plenty of times, and it never disappoints. The food’s always on point big portions, cooked right, and comes out quick. The French toast is always loaded and delicious. The place just has that laid back local vibe that makes you wanna keep coming back. Lisa and Nate are awesome super friendly and always take care of you. They make the whole experience better every time I’m in. You can tell they actually enjoy what they do. If you’re in Stuart and want a legit breakfast spot with great service and even better food, Sammy J’s is the move.

A bit of a bashing here. It took 10 minuted before they even took our order. They never filled our coffee or water and it took 30 minutes to get an omlette after we ordered. They got our order wrong. And the crowning jewel. My wife had a mild case of food poisoning. It might have been because they gave her egg yolks when she ordered egg whites only in her omlette and she has not eaten full eggs in a long time. But, it already taken so long. She kept saying "It doesn't taste right" and only ate half. She got ill in the early evening and was better the next day.

as a cook eye appeal is everything the bacon is not eye appealing and it taste low grade the strawberries aren't bad but not fresh the food came out warm not hot and the fly issue when you eat you shouldn't have to wave your hands every minute to swat flys away they only had 2 fans on and it doesn't help the front door seems to be opened all the time but the staff was friendly i just moved here and for 42 dollar breakfast for 2 people we should of got better when I complained about the bacon being cold they asked if they can put it in the microwave the. bacon at Dunkin next door is more appealing to look and tastes better

The staff here is great and the food is always good. I consider this place my breakfast spot.

Sammy J’s is always hoping. We finally took the chance to have breakfast and throughly enjoyed it. The Hangover Bowl is fantastic! The Corn Beef Hash was delicious too. The grits were a little under-salted but there’s so many great things about Sammy J’s. Loved the cool 50’s diner feel and the staff are fantastic.
