Comfy?laid back and aerene enviroment. I had the caramel Pecan Belgian waffle with sweet potato tats. Sweet potato tats were crispy fresh with a subtle sweetness. Pecans were fresh and rich onto of the fluffy waffle. Pancake was ok nothing to rave about. Mimosa were strong had pineapple and cranberry.
This is one of our constant favorites! The staff is just great, and we can tell there is a dedication there because some of the wait staff have been there a long time! The food is consistently good as well as affordable, and I can say that I've never had a bad experience there to date! It's definitely worth the visit!
The Secret Garden Cafe is located on Beach Blvd. The waitress was very friendly and accommodating. She was very knowledgeable of the menu. I got the fried green tomatoes, the tomatoes were over fried, also the batter was rather thick. I did enjoy both dipping sauces. The biscuit and gravy was my absolute favorite. I just wish it would have came out hot. The kids menu had a nice selection and my daughter enjoyed the waffles with bacon. The cinnamon butter was savory. I love that they have honey as an option for the waffles and pancakes. I will definitely be back because the menu has a lot of interesting entrees that I want to try.
The food here was fresh, and delicious.
Ellie the waitress here was exceptional and kind.
The prices aren't bad. Nice little hidden gem.
My husband and I wanted to do Easter brunch, so we decided to give this gem of a place a try. We definitely made the right choice! The service was fantastic. Our server Yury was extremely friendly and polite. Now, let's talk about the food. Before you this earth, you MUST their caramel peacan waffles! 🧇 😋 They are the little squares of heaven. The balance between the cinnamon butter and caramel sauce is pure perfection! You will not need syrup, just a nap from eating all of that deliciousness.... Heading back to brunch this Sunday!🥂
Wonderful experience ! Such a cozy clean diner makes you feel right at home, especially the friendly service from Eli! She was attentive , anticipated my needs, kind, and knowledgeable of the menu. Superior service. The food was phenomenal the fries were cooked to perfection crispy non the outside and just right in the center. The Philly cheesesteak had really fresh veggies and the cheese was melted all the way through the steak making each bite delicious.. not sure what type of hoagie but it was toasted and delicious !
10/10 will definitely be back !
Everything was amazing! Great food, great service, and pet friendly! Really enjoyed our breakfast there. Unique menu choices and good value for the money. Recommend for sure!
This place is absolutely one of the best breakfast restaurants I've ever visited. I went there two days in a row. My wife and I had mimosas, fried green tomatoes, shrimp and grits, a dish called a hot mess, fried pork chops and potatoes. The server's name was Young. She gave professional service and great menu recommendations. She even remembered our names the next day. If ever in Jacksonville, this place is an absolute must!!!
Absolute gem. We were visiting JAX and were looking for mom and pop restaurant. The server was extremely attentive. I ordered an omelette and an egg bowl, and both were fresh and well prepared. I highly recommend.
I met an old friend here for brunch and fell in love with this hidden gem. It's cozy and perfect considering it's in a shopping center off the main strip.
I ordered the Secret Garden Bene which is eggs Benedict on English muffins with bacon and fried green tomatoes! It sounds as good as it tasted too. Rich and creamy sauce with a tangy tomato bite. Plus the bacon brought it to another level all together.
I'm in town on vacation and wish we had a Secret Gadrden where I'm from. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in Jacksonville.
It's no secret if you've been there before. The management and staff have such professional work ethics. Customer service and food is beyond expectations. I recommend "you" visit the restaurant and receive the same treatment they provided me and my family. Thank you "Secret Garden."
Eggs Benedict options are great. We had Secret Garden and the Country benedicts.
Also had Strawberry and Crème pancakes - which were outstanding. The people we were with were amazed with the taste and the quality of the crème.
Portions were good. Service was great. Recommend this place for brunch, even in weekend.
And unpretentious 🙂
Breakfast was delicious. Host welcoming and so efficient. We waited a little long for our food but it was worth it. I got the fried green tomatoes to go and that onion jam was delicious!! I can't wait to go back again!
Best breakfast 🥞 in town with a wonderful strawberry French toast, excellent ambiance and well cooked omelette.
5 star ⭐️ place which is secretly hiding 🙈 😂
The Hot Mess was great. Sausage gravy took it over the top. Service was good, also. They serve the toast unbuttered, though I asked for it buttered. The bare concrete floors are overdue for fresh paint, and the chairs are absolutely filthy from many years of being handled. They keep sections of the dining area closed even when they at full capacity and people are waiting for a table. WTH?
We had about every kind of egg benedict they have to offer and all were AMAZING! I was full for hours, and not just full but satisfied!
The service was a little slow just at first, but they were very busy and once we had a server she was super sweet and helpful!
I thought the grits were just okay, but overall would highly recommend this restaurant!
Great food, everything we ordered was very flavorful, the service is great, you are greeted once you walk through the door. Our server Alex was just great, all her recommendations were excellent. We really enjoyed the food and atmosphere and we are definitely coming back.
