Disclaimer: One of the waitresses comped the bill in order to correct the situation, but that is merely because the squeaky wheel gets the grease. When your customer at a table of 4 is standing in front of you 38 minutes after an order was placed, you know that they are dissatisfied, especially when the most difficult order was french toast. I actually walked in the restaurant to inquire (both of our waitresses were MIA for eons) and went back in again for coffee/drink refills. I think they just forgot about us. With the disclaimer out there, I am the only person in my party that is willing to go back and try again. Aside from almost chewing the support beams on the porch while we waited,the food was mediocre. One breakfast bowl went back (it was cold) and order cancelled (it wasn't worth the wait for another), one breakfast bowl was lukewarm, eggs & toast okay (standard!) & the crunchy french toast good. You would think that anything might taste great after the wait for a table (45 mins...not complaining- this is understandable on a Sunday) and then the wait for food (38 mins) but noooooo. Daily Eats is in my neighborhood and I had hoped that this could become a regular in my repertoire. I'm sad.

Amazing food at very reasonable prices with ridiculously large portions. I think that's enough said. This is a great brunch place and they even make their own juices! Definitely worth a try!

Weekends here seem to be insane, but they turnover tables pretty quickly. During the week, this is a great breakfast spot. Friendly and warm staff and lots of regulars. It's what you'd want in a breakfast spot especially if you happen to be traveling through. Their menu has some interesting sounding but sweet dishes like captain crunch pancakes. That said, you can totally have a nice healthy breakfast if you play your cards right. My only wish would be to take the coffee up a notch. Espresso would be nice and I imagine this neighborhood would eat that up.

If you are really hungry or seeking breakfast all day this place is awesome. They have some original recipes and healthy options too like quinoa, spinach, and fruit blend drinks. And they also have amazing ice cream shakes and pies for when you want dessert. Most of the time service is good but we've gone a few times and had to wait a bit, but the food is always good. There is both outdoor seating and bar seating almost like a diner too for when you need to grab something quick. Parking can be tough at peak hours but there is an alternate lot across the street. Overall a cool place with a fun upbeat atmosphere and an interesting menu.

The food was good, plenty to choose from on the menu, and the service was good. ........ I got a message from the owner(?), after he read my previous review saying I wasn't completely satisfied with the atmosphere....... ((It really was just me... I'm -stupid- picky, and it just wasn't my type of atmosphere...... however..........) he told me to come back to try it out again, they would take care of me, and that they were expecting me. I'm pretty sure I know where I'm going for breakfast lol A for effort for real. I've delt with quite a few different companies lately that clearly do not give a damn about customer service...... I'm extremely impressed, and I really, really appreciate this. Thanks Jeff ;)

Food was average. Service was poor. Messed up on the food, no coffee until the end of meal. No refills. However server did make it up to us by adjusting the bill and bringing us cookies. So we will try it again.

We have returned to Daily Eats after a nine month break from it. We are sitting here drinking beverages with no ice which they are still charging us $2.25 for and they are warm. My mac and cheese has bits of other food in it. The fruit is lying exposed right under the food service window. This place is run by a younger crew and it is starting to show. I sat at the counter amd you can see a lot of unappetizing things from that view.......including workers snacking on a fry or other small bit off your soon to be delivered meal.

When I think of breakfast this is the first place that comes to mind. I love that there is so much to chose from and it fits any mood. Do I want something traditional or something trendy and healthy. Your choice. The only downside is that it is a small place and often so crowded that you have a long wait. The take out holds up pretty well.

Hands down my favorite casual restaurant in tampa! My favorites are the tater hater, Greek shredder bowl, grilled cheese, the macs, and the shakes. You can go healthy or not when you eat here. The service is great and the environment is nice, casual and clean.

This place isn't bad. The BBQ sandwich is pretty good as are the sweet potato fries. Service is actually really good, seems like teamwork is strong. The only thing that blows is parking, but what else is new in South Tampa? Haha

I can't recommend this place enough! I was visiting from Las Vegas and heard great things about the shakes. I'm so glad I listened! The food is incredible and the service is too. My server made sure that everything was how I ordered and my soda was kept full. I had the loaded grilled cheese and ordered the cheesy tots. I debated since I already had the sandwich, but it ended up being a great choice. The tots were sitting in this amazing cheese sauce (no canned nacho cheese here!) and melted shredded cheese on top. My favorite part was feeling like I was in an old school diner complete with Formica tables and glass Heinz ketchup bottles!

I just can't help myself, I'm a regular here. Every time I walk in I get the jitters because I just don't know what to order, it's all so very good! Do I stick with what I know and get a blackened bacon burger with tots or maybe I should roll with my favorite buffalo chicken bowl and make it with spinach so I can feel better about my health. Do I head towards the Mexican bowl and add chicken? So many excellent choices! I feel like Will Ferrell in Old School when Frank the Tank slams his beer, only it's the food...It's so good...once it hits your lips, it's so good! Dan's chicken melt is my newfound favorite these days. You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. I would like to know how many pounds of tots Daily Eats runs though in a day? Gotta be an impressive number, they are always cooked to perfection.

I got the Mexican chili bowl. It was really good and the portions were pretty large. I didn't get any meat, so they let me add quinoa for free. I know they're both owned by the same people, but Daily Eats is a lot better than Lemon (which is next door). Everything I saw come out of the kitchen looked good. I think you'll be hard pressed to find something bad on the menu.

I recently got to try this place out and I'm in love. What a great place for brunch or lunch. I love the unique diner style of this place and the options for a healthy or not so healthy meal are extensive. I ended up coming here with a small group of people on a not so busy Monday so it was great to have such quick service and get seated timely. I can't wait until the next time I get to experience this deliciousness!

Visited the weekend of June 19th. Ate there twice, once for breakfast and once for dinner. Service is wonderful. Their signature dishes are bowls; breakfast, lunch or dinner. Farm to table ingredients. Great choice for a visit when you're in Tampa!

My wife and I have been to this establishment twice now and have been very happy with the quality of the food and the friendliness of the staff. The wait can be a little long and the service a little slow if they are busy but it is well worth it. I ordered the buffalo chicken sandwich and I highly recommend it with the tots. On another note, you will see a review posted by another user today that mentions hair in food and a disrespectful manager. I was sitting right next to that gentleman and his partner and I can tell you that the manager was very cordial. In fact if there was anyone out of line it was this customer. He started shouting and even used some adult language with children around. His (the customers) behavior was way out of line and unfortunately made things very uncomfortable for several surrounding customers. I understand there is something wrong with your food but your behavior was not acceptable sir. Anyhow, we love daily eats and I hope you do too!

Francesca L.
Every time I eat here I am reluctant and only going because my hubby loves it, but every time we are done I think "oh yea, that's actually pretty good!" What turns me off is that the menu is very "cafeteria deli" and reads too bland, plus it's got a very casual vibe (and I'm not a casual gal). I've had the club on wheat, the BLT on white and the mac & cheese-all very delicious, especially the club on wheat with the sauce it comes with...yum! Will return, I suggest everyone try it at least once!

Jeff D.
Good food fast, I dropped in today to have a bite to eat on my way home and enjoyed a quick meal. I had one of the bowls that they offer and was happy that I had two sizes to chose from. The Greek bowl was full of good stuff and served fast. The service was friendly and I was explained all of the specials and offered a refill on my drink. All In all a good spot when you wand to eat fast.

Daily Eats is obviously doing something right because the place was packed when we went there for breakfast. Unfortunately for us it was raining when we got there. There wasn't anywhere to wait inside so we had to huddle under the small porch out front with other people that were waiting to get in. After a good wait we eventually got seated. I didn't have any complaints about the breakfast I got, but it didn't feel like anything special to me either. That was probably my fault because I just ordered a standard breakfast with pancakes, eggs, and bacon. I should have tried something unusual, such as their turkey hash. If I go back for breakfast I will definitely do that, but I haven't been motivated to go back when I can go to other places where I don't have to deal with the wait.

Third time I have been here and the food has always been great. This time we waited a little bit to be greeted, however the manager came over unprompted and apologized and bought us desert. Our waitress was great and they were very accommodating for the rest of the meal. Their crusted french toast and potato chip crusted turkey burger are amazing, and they have a full milkshake menu. A most try when you are in soho or tampa.

Had a great experience here today. The wait to get a table for two on thisSaturday noon was about 20 mins, so we just helped ourselves to the bar area and ate there. the staff were really nice and well coordinated, they helped each other out in order to get through busy hour. The food was amazing and came out timely. It was a well managed restaurant with good menu, fair prices, and friendly staff. The place has a lot of health and non healthy choices, so it's win win for everyone!

Been a Daily Eats reg for over 3 years now. The service has always been fantastic, the ingredients are fresh, and the consistency of the dishes is always amazing. They hit the nail on the head and then some. Weekend brunch can get pretty crazy (its a good thing, trust me) so if you want to be in and out I suggest yet get there by 8a, 10a the absolute latest because if not, you're gonna wait at least 45 mins. They're known for their Shredder Bowls and awesome breakfast but you cant go wrong with anything here, believe me. Definitely a food staple in Tampa.

Delicious food and drinks. I had the chef's famous crunchy French toast, it wasn't really crunchy, but the flavor and moistness of the French toast was amazing. Blueberry mimosas to go with. They have amazing burgers here, and the Newyorker Benedict is nothing short of delicious. Come here and try literally everything. Only down side is no reservations and long waits, but a lot of people seem to put their names and ditch for the other nearby restaurants, our hour wait turned about to be about 30 minutes.

For a diner, this place is phenomenal. It's a super busy spot in the SoHo district, so you'll most likely have to wait for a table on Saturday and Sunday. It's a pretty small place so the seating is very limited. However, the wait will be way worth it. The Shredder bowls that I've had have all been excellent. All fresh ingredients and toppings let you know that this establishment prides itself with quality over quantity. I like a spicy styled eggs for breakfast, so I choose the Tijuana (which is gluten free btw). The eggs are scrambled and served with vegetarian chili and cheese. I look forward to my menu selections on our next visit.

Why 3 stars? Because this is the exact definition of A-OK. --- --- --- Daily Eats is why 3-star reviews were invented. I have been several times. I have never loved my meal. I have never hated my meal. Nothing has ever stood out one way or another. Being mediocre isn't a bad thing though... especially when my girlfriend loves you. As for me? I've tried a variety of items over the last few years, and I have nothing to recommend or advise to avoid in particular. This has been "Vague Hour" with Brett. Stay tuned for an all new Ricki Lake.

I'm not gonna sugar coat it or write an essay. Daily eats is a great stop on a shopping day or if you're craving a specific dish they make. I'm in love with the Captain crunch crusted french toast and eggs. I drive 25 mins to ge that dish. Always recommend.

This was a fun visit to an interesting diner. I guess I was lucky as I arrived around 1:30 on Saturday afternoon and was by myself so getting in was no problem. The hostess asked if I wanted to sit at the bar which I did - the smell from the kitchen was wonderful. The waitress was great, got my drink right away and made helpful suggestions for my first time there. I tried the hamburger bowl (though she said The California was most popular) and had a basket of fried pickles. Everything was delicious, fresh and quickly served. Sitting there at the bar I watched all the orders come out, breakfast is served all day. I was offered a drink to go when I got my check. All in all this was about as good as it gets. I will surely return.

I'm a big fan of their Shredder Bowls. There's one in particular I order every time I visit. What I especially like about the bowls is that their healthy options. The Cheese Burger Bowl is my go to lunch and/or dinner choice. I up the healthy quotient by subbing beef with bison and add spinach. This dish has such great flavor to it and tastes so decadent yet it truly is a great high protein healthy option dish. Of the many times I've dined at Daily Eats the serve has always been good to very good. I highly recommend Daily Eats for brunch, lunch and dinner.

Jimmy D.
It's a cool place to eat. The menu is spunky and so is the staff. It's set up like a diner you would see in movie. I've eaten here many times. Mainly due to me living across the street. The food is alright, can be little pricey. Now I normally get what I know. I love Benedicts. I get the New Yorker there, it's basically a salmon Benedict. I have lately been getting it to go, there is usually a wait. The Benedict is nowhere close to being my favorite in town, but the connivence gets my business. The service is always great! My Togo orders are usually ready in 10 minutes. They also try to accommodate you anyway possible. I love blueberries and I mentioned I didn't like any of their shake options, but then she mentioned shakes they could do. She had me at blueberry.

Loreal D.
Daily Eats is a pretty great place to grab some brunch. Every time I stop by I'm not disappointed. I can also bring my doggie without any issue. The staff are friendly and do a fairly good job explaining the menu. I've had a couple of their bowls (lox and Mexican), which I really liked. This last visit I had the patty melt which was super mouthwatering. It was cheesy and well balanced. I highly recommend it! The prices are okay, not real cheap, not super expensive. I think the quality of the food correlates with the price well enough. I will be making more trips to this place in the near future.

Had a very good experience for brunch at daily eats. A little bit of a wait on the weekends 15-30 mins but not too bad. Our waitress was very pleasant and greeted us immediately. Because the place is quite small noise was a little bit of a issue when it came time to order. I decided on the strawberry French toast, home fries, and a coffee. My order the nacho bowl and a blue berry pancake. All were delicious . I'm not a big fan of French toast but these were exceptionally good. Home fries were just regular potatoes, and the coffee was ok but comes in a Cute cup. Pancakes just ok and nacho bowl was a hit. I recommend daily eats and will return for another weekend brunch

This is cute little breakfast place. We got there early enough that we didn't have to wait. A good tip to know is that they cannot seat large parties. We had 7 of us and we had to squeeze into the booth. The menu is full of a bunch of items that I haven't seen before (captain crunch encrusted waffles anyone?) I ordered the gignate which was two eggs, bacon, pancakes and home fries. I was expecting a large meal, I was disappointed to see that it was a very small meal. The home fries were amazing, eggs were runny but tasted fine, the pancake (singular because I had to give my son one of mine because his portion was also tiny) was good, but nothing to write home about. My husband got the jersey shore which is an angus burger, cream cheese, bacon,onion and an egg on everything bagel. He enjoyed it. Overall, this is a cute place that has some great menu items, but the portions are very small.

Awesome spot for healthy (or rich and decadent if healthy isn't your thing!) breakfast, lunch and dinner on S. Howard On weekends, be prepared to wait. Especially for breakfast-lunch hours. This place gets busy and it isn't huge.. However, they have outdoor seating that helps with accommodating the weekend crowd. They serve breakfast all day and have anything your heart desires: classic egg, bacon, sausage type dishes, pancakes, and french toast, as well as the standard CRG "bowl" dish.. For breakfast, Daily Eats has several different scrambles in bowls (my fav. is the Tijuana - scrambled eggs topped with vegetable chili, shredded jalapeño jack cheese, tomatoes and guac on top of home fries. YES. The breakfast nachos are also AMAZING and my go-to if I plan to do nothing else on my Sunday after brunch. At the lunch hour, in addition to the breakfast items, they also serve some awesome sandwiches and burgers, and bowls with different proteins over rice and lettuce. For dinner, they have everything I already mentioned, PLUS some delicious mac n cheese dishes (5 different choices, to be exact. My fav is the buffalo mac n cheese) Don't forget to save room for a shake .... If only they still had their ice cream set-up, this place would be my #1 restaurant in town (the french toast Ice cream was a spiritual experience)

First time to Daily Eats while visiting Tampa. There was a 20-30 minute wait, but it was midday on Saturday, so that was expected. The seating went fairly quickly actually. We were sat outside and it was a covered area. Service was good, the server was very friendly and knowledgeable. We ordered drinks, and my Bloody Mary was perfectly spicey! The food was spectacular. 2 of us ordered the French toast bowl, which had scrambled eggs and french toast, and we opted the the Capt. Crunch French toast, which was Amazing! The other got the steak and eggs bowl and he loved it. He actually ended up getting an order of the Capt. Crunch French toast because he tried a bite of ours and couldn't resist! Definitely should visit this place if you're in the area. I'm excited to try out the lunch bowls in the future!

Just recently stopped in for my 3rd visit, and thought I'd better write this before I forget the whole experience, like I did the 1st two times. I had an omelet, and my love had a BLTA (avocado). Add a Coke and an orange juice and our bill came to about $25. I don't remember what we got here before, which means it didn't stand out. If we had hated it or loved it I could tell you now what was eaten. It's not that anything was bad, the omelet was OK, but I guess it's just a touch bland. I think I'll try them again and get one of the bowls I see everyone raving about. But if it's just more of the same there are too many other great places in the area.

This is a soho take on diners. It's like every other restaurant owned Ciccios, very commercialized, above average but nothing special. The food is consistently good but nothing to rave about. They have your typical diner food like burgers and breakfast food. Being owned by Ciccios, they also have bowls. The prices are reasonable The decor is clean and diner like. Service is on point.

Thuyen B.
Great diner! We sat outside which wasn't too bad during the night. People watching is always fun. And duh! I just realized this is part of the Ciccio Restaurant Group. The menu did have a Ciccio Cali feel lol. Lots of menu options to please everyone here. AND they serve breakfast all day- win! I had the Thai peanut shredder bowl w/ shredded chicken and spinach. I was trying to be good, but that Crunchy French Toast was calling me...I might have to go back there and make someone order it so I can have a bite. Or two. My shredder bowl was fantastic! Huge serving and every bite was bursting with flavor. I like how you are able to customize the bowls to your liking (brown rice/quinoa, lettuce/spinach, choice of protein). Everyone else enjoyed their meals as well. Potato crusted turkey burger- will have to try soon. Service was great, no complaints there. Now if they could open a spot in St Pete...preferably off 4th St...that would be awesome! ;)

So many choices. The Daily Eats menu includes breakfast anytime, plus lunch and dinner. There are several cheesy macs, burgers, a dozen or so each of shredder bowl choices and house specialties, and of course, big salads. The options are almost endless since there are additional choices with so many of the menu items. Even gluten free and vegetarian options so everyone can find something they like. With the chopped salad, you can add goat cheese, bleu cheese crumbles, substitute spinach for Romaine, and/or add shredded turkey, pork or chicken. With the strawberry salad, you can add angus or turkey burger, fried or grilled natural chicken breast, shredded NY strip, or add bison or ahi tuna. The strawberry salad with Romaine, candied pecans, and bleu cheese crumbles with strawberry vinaigrette was amazing. Both the bison and ahi tuna add-ons sounded tasty but I opted for the sushi grade ahi tuna. Delicious. Everything was super fresh: red, ripe, juicy strawberries, crisp romaine, crunchy pecans, and perfectly cooked ahi tuna. Bangin. Great location right on the corner of S Howard and W Bristol with free parking across the street. Definitely on my list of go-to places if I'm in the area.

I can't wait for the St Pete location to open . . . oh my . . . classic comfort / diner food done right with a couple of twists. I wanted to try so many things, decisions decisions. Between 5 of us we tried lots of the menu and nothing disappointed. The service was fine. It is not a large place so the wait can be long. Lots of two tops and probably nothing larger than for a group of 5-6. Enjoy!!

Today was the first time we were ever at Daily Eats. It was very enjoyable. It's a pleasant restaurant. The hostess and our waitress were both helpful and cheerful. Both me and my husband ordered the same meal, Crunchy French Toast. It was delicious. Soft, thick slices and sweet - especially with the powdering of confectionary sugar - with that extra crunch that comes from the bread being rolled in crushed Cap'n Crunch cereal. It's a little too far from us for just a casual drop-in, but I would definitely go again.

Sundi P.
We stopped here after an interview I had downtown. I wanted French Toast and this place did not disappoint. The Captain Crunch French Toast was yummy and crunchy. The place is very cute and was very busy the entire time we were there. We will definitely be back and I don't think I'll be able to try anything else. :)

I'll go to Daily Eats any time of Day or Night. Today I was Greeted by Travis. He's friendly and very professional. After 2pm is my Favorite Time of the Day to go. The 2-7pm Specials Are A Must Do. Great Music from 60s to 80s. Great Variety of Tunes. Everybody has that "Feeling Good Vive". There's always something. That will do it for me here. Their Coffee is Served Fresh, right temp. and Best of All with A Smile. Their Staff works hard to Satisfy you. And, boy are they busy. Takes very dedicated people, with decorum and Great People Skills. to have the "Patience" when time is limited to talk and listen to the customer. They have excellent professional etiquette. Even when having to take extra time. Answering questions. Making Suggestions for Subtracting or Adding Items to Customize your selections. And Meet Your Needs and or Wants. NOW THATS Class. And, in my observation. Experience, Good Training. And Yes, Teamwork. Today, Bianca was our Server. She was remarkable, "Can't Believe She Remembered" How I ordered My Custom Prepared Lox Bowl. She takes the Credit for her assistance w/the Choices of Ingredients. I am not able to eat Gluten or Lactose. My Lox Bowl, was another Hit:-) it Consisted of Lox, this time I chose X-Tra Lox. Wanted more Protein Power,Moist Fresh Scrambled Eggs, Brown Rice, Fresh Spinach( Was Savory, Perfect) WOW! And of Course Capers. Just the right amount. Today Will and his Crew. Where really rocking in that Open Kitchen. Started my meal with their OMG. Traditional Mimosa. 2$ from 2-7pm Everyday. Can't go wrong with that. And, needed to stay on the Cool Side. Hey, it's Summer in Fl. Ice Tea. Chills things Down. Their Portions are generous. It's what I call Comfort Food. Glad I opted for the Big Bowl. It's great taking a Favorite Food Home. Puts a Big Yay, tomorrow on my Day.

After our pre-picked out place was closed on Mondays we decided on our second choice thanks to Yelp. Daily Eats fed us well and was easy on the wallet. I had the famous Cap'n Crunch french toast. While I could clearly see it crushed and coated on the outside of the massive stack of bread, I did not add much noticeable flavor to it which left me a little disappointed. I was between the toast and a pancake so now I'll have to switch it up when I come back. Serving was huge so if you're hungry this will cure you. Guy had one of the breakfast bowls. He had the lox bowl that comes with eggs, chives, smoked salmon and more including a tasty chive sauce on the side. The best part was tots on the bottom of the bowl to add crunchiness to your bites. Yum! He was very pleased with his choice. Servers were busy at the late breakfast/ lunch rush so I don't hold that against them. Seating outside was tight but still enjoyable. We'd come back again.

Tricia T.
Finally ate here and will definitely be back!! Food- potato chip crusted turkey burger. Yes, please! The bun was a little disproportioned to the patty, but regardless- it was good. Went during the week so no wait for a late lunch, but it's a small place so I can see the wait being long on the weekends. I'm honestly between a 3 1/2 and a 4. It's a diner so you get just that. I'd say it's a classed-up diner though. Service - meh. This is the 3 1/2 star part. For being not very busy, it took an awful long time for drink refills and napkins. I'll be back though! Love the group that this restaurant is a part of. Can't go wrong.

I've been here maybe 6 times and would have previously given this place 3 stars had it not been for the POTATO CHIP CRUSTED TURKEY BURGER W/ TOTS. Yum! This is on my new list of crave foods. I think I've had this burger 3 times in the last 2 months. Such simple, yet perfect flavors with the remoulade sauce and pickles. Tater tots and ketchup just add to the deliciousness. Other than that, I've had breakfast items: omelettes, pancakes, French toast. All not bad. I think I tried the Cali bowl once. Can't remember much about it. Not sure if I'll be able to try anything else in the future as I will always be here for the POTATO CHIP CRUSTED TURKEY BURGER. Oh service here has always been great. Friendly, down-to-earth people. I'll be back!

This place serves Cap'n Crunch french toast. That should entice you enough to have brunch here. Period. But seriously, Daily Eats is pretty amazing. My cousin and I originally wanted to come by on a Sunday morning but they were absolutely slammed with customers, so we opted to come back another day to give them a shot. DE is more or less the size of your average diner, with seats inside and outside under a canopy. The waiters/waitresses here are top notch and super friendly if you're new to the place. The one we had specifically was a spitfire and we joked back and forth with her the whole time, obviously leaving her a generous top because of it. Onto the food. DE seemed to cater more towards the breakfast and brunch crowds, but that didn't stop them from having some pretty mouthwatering lunch and dinner options. We opted on getting brunch since it was sort of in the middle of morning and afternoon and I was craving something with an egg in it. I got the Jersey Shore with a side of fresh fruit while my cousin got The Smitty also with a side of fresh fruit. I then ordered one piece of french toast for both of us to try, and got super excited when our waitress asked whether I wanted regular or Cap'n Crunch. Obviously when Cap'n Crunch is offered, you go with that, especially when, A. You've never had french toast with it, and B. It's Cap'n Crunch. She came out not long after with our entrees and packed the table to the brim with food. My entree ended up being a bacon, egg, and cream cheese sandwich, with a burger and onions, on an everything bagel. You wouldn't expect cream cheese to go well with a burger, but man was it good and it definitely filled me up. My cousin's came out in a big bowl with pieces of scrambled eggs, bison meat, cheddar, and red onions served over brown rice. I had a few bites and fell in love with it, especially with the bison meat. The french toast by the way, flawless. There wasn't an overpowering of Cap'n Crunch flavor, but just enough for it to be noticeable. Not to mention, you don't need syrup for this one, it's fantastic without it. Daily Eats is a BIG must if you're in the Tampa area for both the food and the hospitality. I know I'll be back here next time I'm down in Florida.

Love it. Shredder bowls are excellent. The burger one takes like a Big Mac in a bowl.

Good service. Cute restaurant. Had the Smitty and Hard Body. Both were perhaps their more healthier options. The former had bison meat and brown rice; the latter was with egg whites, turkey, quinoa, and spinach. Both were good but the bison needed more flavor, seasoning...something extra. I could see myself coming back here...maybe for their less healthy options

I was kicking off 2015 with a nice healthy lunch at Daily Eats on South Howard, and had the pleasure of enjoying the company of my Yelp friend, Michelle M. We were renewing our semi-regular monthly lunch meeting to catch up on news and good eats. Neither of us had eaten at Daily Eats, so this seemed like the perfect excuse to try this South Tampa eatery for lunch. As many people know, Daily Eats is part of the successful Ciccio Restaurant Group which includes Ciccio Cali, Ciccio's / Water, the Lodge, Green Lemon, and Fresh Kitchen. These folks seriously love the South Tampa area, and they've done a great job helping to shape the restaurant scene in the region. You'll find Daily Eats along S. Howard Avenue, just south of Swann, and at the intersection of Bristol Avenue. Parking in this area can be a challenge, but they have a small lot between Green Lemon and Daily Eats, and a larger lot across the street for these two restaurants. Daily Eats is a refurbished two-story house right on the corner, and they've taken full advantage of the wrap-around veranda porch to offer al fresco dining for smaller groups. Inside the restaurant you'll find booths, and a casual diner-like atmosphere. Outside is more relaxed, and a nice place to sit when the weather cooperates. Much like a diner you can order breakfast at any hour which includes traditional omelets, egg dishes, French toast, and pancakes -- but all with a playful twist. French toast covered with Cap'n Crunch cereal, or how about scrambled eggs with diced onions, tomatoes, scallions and capers on a bed of tater tots topped with smoked salmon and served with a side of scallion cream cheese all in a bowl? If breakfast isn't your thing, then flip the menu over to see their selection of burgers, mac n cheese, or a nice mix of sandwiches that come with fries, tots, salad, cole slaw, baked beans or fresh fruit. For an upcharge you can go wild and get sweet potato fries, chili cheese fries and more. Now in the middle of the back page are what they call "Shredder Bowls", and this has nothing to do with snowboarding in Vail. Nope, these are their take on fresh ingredients and various proteins served over a bed of brown rice or quinoa, and mixed shredded lettuce or spinach. I liked the sound of their Gyro Shredder Bowl which was gyro meat, tomatoes, onions, pepperoncini, feta, tzatziki sauce and white balsamic vinaigrette, served over brown rice with spinach. They have about ten different styles of these shredder bowls which run about $10 for a very filling meal. Michelle and I both had shredder bowls and liked them very much. Delicious, healthy food at a fair price, and a very relaxed atmosphere. I will be back to try some of their breakfast choices next time.

Oh how I miss having lunch here! Since I'm now in St Pete during work hours I've had to settle for visiting during other times. Every visit here has been great. Staff is always so nice and friendly. On this visit, my sister and I had a late lunch on a rare weekday off. We shared the tater hater, cause how can you not start with loaded tater tots? We both had bowls and they were both delicious as usual. I don't think you could go wrong with a Daily Eats bowl!

I came here for breakfast with my bestie last weekend. I loved it. Great food and service. The place is kind of small, so if you want to sit inside, I suggest you get there early. I believe this place is owned by the same group that owns Cicco's, the Lodge and the Green Lemon, so expect similar type of food (but good food none the less). Also, all of the servers are very attractive, so if that's important to you, there you go. The only thing that disappointed me was I could not get a mimosa, due to it being Sunday and us getting there before 11am (stupid Florida law). Otherwise, it as a great meal with great company. I will definitely come here again, and I will make sure I'm there when mimosas are served.

Came into town for family and loved the brunch we had here. The captain crunch French toast.. shut the front door. The Memphis chicken sandwich was juicy and had great crunch. I have already recommended it to my family and will return when I'm in town. Jay the waiter was great.

Alex R.
I loved eating here. It is a classic diner on the inside and the staff, at least sitting at the bar, was welcoming, informative and attentive. After learning it was my first visit I got some great recommendations which is a great idea for servers to help you feel welcome. I ate the grits and Bronx Bully Benedict...steak and poached eggs with hollandaise. Yum!! The grits do not need doctoring so try them before adding butter or salt or anything. Breakfast with coffee was $15 which is a little high, but for the area I might be ok. I will be back to try some other dishes.. also open for lunch and dinner.

Excellent service. It was pretty busy on a weekday during lunch. Had to wait about 15 minutes to be seated. Didn't mind though. I had 2 babies with me so we were more than happy to wait for an appropriate table that could fit high chairs. The tater tots on the appetizer menu were to die for! I got some kind of BLT bowl and it was delicious. It was more first time going here and I will definitely be back! Even the customers were all very friends and down to earth. Maybe it was because my babies are cute?

Driving around Tampa looking for a place to eat and stopped by since we have heard great things about it. I ordered the sirloin egg bowl and she had the turkey hash bowl. The meat was tender, more so then you would have one Philly steak which I loved. It was missing some seasoning however. The turkey hash bowl was interesting but did not resemble hash by any means. I am no hash expert but her was flavored much better than mine. We heard they had crispy toast crunch. Hmmmm ok I'm in. Did a single slice as an appetizer. Pro- tasted good, perfect for a desert. Con-wasnt crispy and came the same time as our meal (which it probably isn't a popular request so we didn't care much) All in all I'd say I would go again if I saw a better selection on the menu for breakfast. Their lunch items I'm definitely in to try..

One of the best breakfast places. This is an easy and obvious go-to place for breakfast, and probably more since I see some beer and wine specials, but for me, it's one of the best breakfasts in town. Good food, good service, good prices. I haven't had anything I didn't enjoy. My favorite is the onyx breakfast sandwich. It's simple and simply tasty served with some soft but crispy outside potatoes, turkey sausage, eggs, cheese, multigrain bread. Throw a little ketchup and Tobasco, voila! Staff is always awesome. I wonder where they find and train these amazing people sometimes. As busy as it gets, everyone is in positive spirits and always attentive. They will also help you if you're new to the menu or unsure of what to get. They seem to know their product. It's a loud and bustling restaurant with a diner kind of feel. There will be a wait at peak times, but you can sit outside if it's not hot for you and traffic noise doesn't bother you. Parking is available in a large shared lot, on the street or in another lot across the street.

Decided to check this place out with a friend, and i'm glad we did. I had a breakfast bowl and she tried the burger both were amazing the food was fresh & delicious our server Lauren was awesome!! Overall great experience!!! I will definitely be back there were so many choices between the breakfast and lunch menu I can't wait to return.

Whenever I'm home I come here at least a couple times a week. All of there food is done well. You can get your traditional diner food from great burgers to an awesome triple decker club. Or, you can go for a little bit on the healthier side with a Thai Peanut bowl. The wait staff are very nice and have a relaxed vibe to them. If I would have to pick anything that some people would complain about, it would probably be that the girls working there could tie their hair up a little bit to avoid it swinging into the food. I myself haven't had a problem with it, but heard some friends mention it. Overall this place is great, the prices are fair, staff is friendly, and I love all of the food. My favs are: * Thai peanut bowl * New Yorker eggs Benedict * buffalo chicken sandwich * Triple decker club w/ chicken * Pancakes ( THESE ARE STUPID GOOD)

This is one of my favorite spots in town. If you love a good diner experience like I do then don't miss out on Daily! I have never had something that I did not love. A really great staff from the hostess to the servers just really friendly! Of course they have milkshakes, and Ray our server did an outstanding job! You will be a hooked after the first visit.

This place is so fun!!!! Especially for after work mimosas!!!!!! This is a cool little diner, the food is super yummy (breakfast and lunch) and they serve mimosas of many different flavors!!!!! I work as a nurse and sometimes after a long shift my coworkers and I love to go up here and enjoy a cocktail with breakfast (or I guess its our dinner lol)! We were coming so frequently, the manager started giving us (or anyone else in scrubs) mimosas for $2 !!!!! YUM-O!

This is a definite must for breakfast/brunch in Tampa. Thank goodness for great recommendations from friends because we would have not come across this place otherwise. We were staying in Downtown Tampa but it was an easy and quick 10 minute drive to get here. The parking lot was full but, thanks to our patience, we scored a spot in the adjacent lot. (Check out the gorgeous "You Are Beautiful" graphic on the brick wall) No worries though because there is additional parking across the street. Since it was a Sunday morning there was a bit of a wait outside. You have to sorta force yourself through the throngs of people at the door to get to the person who is taking names for the wait list. They asked where we preferred to be seated and we told them first available. Which worked in our favor since they had a table available on the covered patio. The bigger sized parties had more of a wait so keep that in mind. Our server was great and gave us a rundown on their menu. The breakfast bowls are the popular choice-- eggs and toppings on top of a bed of home fries (yummy seasoned potatoes). She also recommended the Chef's Famous crunchy French toast which uses Captain Crunch cereal in its coating! I went with the Tijuana breakfast bowl while my husband went with the Bacon & Eggs breakfast bowl. We also got the French toast to share. Since I was a little under the weather, I went with the OJ but got a little jealous seeing the folks next to us with their bloody marys. Next time!! The food was delicious and way more than I anticipated. I am one that hates to waste but I really couldn't finish my breakfast bowl. It was huge (think pasta bowl size). On top of home fries was a bed of scrambled eggs topped with 3 bean veggie chili, shredded jalapeno jack, tomatoes and guac! OMG sooo good but very filling. My husband's meal was simple - potatoes, eggs, bacon and cheese . The French toast was tasty and better than I was expecting. Only thing that was a concern was that there are only 2 restrooms (male and female). So that means the line can back up quickly .... Overall, we had an excellent meal. Quick seating , great service and awesome food. We will be back someday!

The service was great, my dad ordered a chocolate milkshake (his indulgence) & they were out of chocolate ice cream but the waiter offered him a specialty shake for the same price. I had the Thai Peanut Bowl, my daughter had the Chicken & Cheese and dad had a BLT; all were amazing. My other daughter ordered a buffalo Mac n Cheese, pretty good but the large was too much.

small on the interior of this place so plan on waiting or get there at a magical time. Every time I've been to Daily Eats the service is great and the wait staff is always eager to explain the menu and walk you through any questions you may have. I love how small it is! Sometimes when I go into big restaurants you feel a disconnect from the true atmosphere of the place. Here, the wait staff explains their POV and makes you feel welcome. The food is amazing. The Eggs Benedict is my personal recommendation! OH I almost forgot about the PANCAKES. probably some of the best pancakes I've ever tasted. Great texture and cinnamony flavor

Our final stop on our tour de Tampa was a must have breakfast at Daily Eats on the way out of town. Another place we would hit up on the regular when we lived there and it was exactly as we remembered. I love the concept of this place because it takes your traditional breakfast favorites and turns them on their heads. For example, the breakfast bowls - take your traditional eggs benedict - eggs, ham and hollandaise sauce on an English muffin right? Daily Eats takes those yummy ingredients, mixes them in a bowl, breaks up the English muffin, mixes that in as well and wa-la a breakfast bowl is born! They have several well-known a.m. favorites made into bowls i.e. french toast and eggs or bacon and eggs as well as their own twist, the Tijuana - scrambled eggs, three bean vegetable chili, shredded jalapeno jack, tomoatoes and guacamole on a bead of home fries. Hello! Or should I say, hola? The morning the hubs and I went, I indulged in one of those bowls myself, I was going back and forth between the Cap'n Crunch French toast bowl and the cinnamon French toast and scrambled eggs bowl. I was unsure whether the Cap'n Crunch bowl would be too sweet; my server warned it was on the sweet side, but she did also say it was one of her favorites. I erred on the side of caution and went with the cinnamon toast choice, but after hearing everyone around me comment on and order the other, I immediately regretted my decision. My husband, the meat lover, went with the obvious, carnivore omelet which is exactly that, bacon, sausage, ham, cheddar cheese and scallions. I have to say, after the first bite of my bowl, all my indecision went out the window, it was AH-MAZING. The cinnamon French toast gave it just enough sweetness to compliment the mild flavor of the eggs. When I say mild, I don't mean tasteless, they were very good, fluffy scrambled eggs; the salty to the sweetness of the toast. My husband really enjoyed his omelet and commented on the amount of meat it had. It was a very thick, well-stuffed omelet that he deemed one of the best he's ever had (next to my dad's of course.) We were unable to finish our plates as they are hefty portions for morning, but the meal was every bit as good as we remembered. Daily Eats is a quaint, local favorite for South Tampa residents and even for us all the way down in South Florida. If you are in the area around lunch time, they also have a great lunch menu as well as other restaurants in their group (also some of our favorites) Ciccio and Tony's, Green Lemon and Water. You can't go wrong with any of them! These guys put love in their food!

I flipping love this place so much. Their sweet potato fries with honey are amazing and they have gluten free options on the menu! Super exciting. The staff and managers are very friendly. I come by at least once a month to get my sweet potato fry on!!!

This is the best breakfast joint in downtown Tampa. Who can argue with a menu full of breakfast options for people who like either sweet, savory, or spicy. Plus... mimosas..... the best! I stop here all the time.

Excuses can be a dime a dozen when it comes to restaurants, whether it be the "rush" or an event that surges business. Tempers can flare, service can fall, and consistency in what winds up on the plate is not always guaranteed. Cue my trip to Daily Eats during what I can only imagine to be a citywide day of hangovers for Tampa: Gasparilla. Any kind soul will cut slack to a little sluggishness or missteps, but it is up to the business to recognize and remedy problems even when the heat is turned up. Daily Eats might have been having a 3-star day, but they had more than enough proof in practice and food-deliciousness to insure I will stop in again. The Space Right off of Southern Howard (SoHo) and just a stretch from the bay, Daily Eats occupies a relatively small building that, thanks to ample outdoor seating, can comfortably maintain the happy masses they attract. The decor is what I might call diner-chic, with bright orange and yellow furnishings throughout. Booths, tables, and a bar all give the opportunity for your most comfortable choice, but no matter where you sit, the foot traffic is constant. The Service Our group of 6 knew what we were getting into at noon on a Sunday after a major local holiday when seeking out the most splendiferous of meals (read: brunch). Given an estimate of 1 hour to be seated, we waited out the minutes with a cup of coffee from Starbucks and suffered through tummy rumbling until getting a pretty roomy booth. The waitress that came to us was swift, vibrant, and helpful in knocking out drink orders and making recommendations beyond the "well this is good". Hearing my choice was best paired with an over-medium versus over-easy egg, for example, was welcomed feedback when she could have easily rushed away and left it at that. Once the orders were placed, though, the mood began to decline. The staff was all over the place in a frantic attempt to keep up with the crowd. This resulted in dropped dishes and projectiles flying at ourselves and patient patrons. There could definitely have been a benefit to slowing down just a wee bit. Then, when we saw that 3 meals came out before 3 others, we became dismayed. Apparently the highly-regarded Captain Crunch French Toast was held up for lack of batter, and was now starting to be made at the time 3 meals were placed on the table. Not a great decision by the kitchen, but I imagine communication was off. That said, when defeat was accepted and our checks came, the waitress frantically rushed out to stop us from signing. Without a single request or complaint from our group, the management comped ALL french toast orders and drinks for us. Stunning, stellar empathy to recognize and act on shortcomings so intentionally. It was as if letting us leave having paid full price would have been hurtful to the powers that be. I love a business like this. The Food For all the scrambled that this egg was turning out to be, I can easily attest to the food tasting pretty great: Bloody Mary (C+) felt non-traditional and was heavy in both lime and sweetness. While I could appreciate the idea behind it, I definitely am a classic tomato-hugs-spice kind of guy for this cocktail. Tijuana Breakfast bowl (B+) embodied my favorite southwestern omelet ingredients into a delicious, layered bowl of goodness. The over-medium egg melts amongst the layers of cheese, chili, and potato to make each bite equally awesome, not to mention a dose of cool sour cream and creamy guac to round out the kick. I asked for a side of sriracha as well (because I am weird like that) and was pleasantly surprised to get a, somewhat small, but tasty version I suspect might be made in-house (would love to know if I am right about this). Captain Crunch French Toast (A) was hyped up to me before I even set foot in the door by a coworker, and it did not let me down. The coating was not too thick, and with the cereal finely milled into the batter, each slice had the memorable taste of Saturday morning cartoon marathons. I was concerned it might taste too much like cereal and not enough like quality brunch, but this fear was immediately disspelled. This not even to mention how fluffy and thick the slices were, resulting in mouthfuls of sweet, syrupy clouds. A must-have if you are a fan of sweet at breakfast time. Final Thoughts The area has a lot to offer when it comes to food, and I imagine the competition is stiff on any given day. Daily Eats's menu is bountiful and fun, in addition to unique daily specials, but I saw this trend in a few other spots I considered. When you can count on above-average being a given, the truly great must go the extra mile. The parts of my experience that leave me wanting, and that could have spelled a so-so aftertaste, also managed to be a highlight of my visit. I look forward to a future chance at tossing the missing star onto this review because, with a bit less fluster, Daily Eats would have the whole shebang.

Ugh no no no! I gave DE a second chance and have really liked the food there recently but I have to update my review again because this is the second time I've found hair in my food and it's REALLY gross. I understand that these things happen, but I think finding hair in my food on two separate occasions is way too many hairs for me. Who knows, I may just be the only one who noticed the hair and said something about it. The manager was nice and took my meal off of the check, but I am very hesitant to come back now that I've had the same thing happen twice. Apparently this was a problem way back when from what the manager told me, but it seems like it hasn't been fixed yet. Ultimately I just don't want to go somewhere and be grossed out by my experience so I really don't want to go back to DE now. The food is good, but cleanliness is really important to me and I think I value that way more in a dining experience.

I LOVE this diner. It really helps maintain the neighborhood feel for those of us who live near South Howard among the college bars and the expensive restaurants. It's perfect for a relaxed breakfast or late night pick me up... It's especially great for cheap, feel good take-out on a rainy night! My favorites: The dougie, Greek shredder bowl w Turkey, Buffalo Chicken Mac, & of course the Oreo Shake!

This banana lover will be back for the banana french toast. When I ordered them I thought I was just getting a few slices of french toast with banana slices on top. When my order arrived....happiness. The bananas are IN the slices. They were so tasty. I am also a huge fan of sweet potatoes so when I had the option of ordering sweet potato fries with my french toast I was very happy. I also really like the green juice that I tried. I ordered the Big Green O. It was very green and very good. It was $5 for a small glass and I did think that was a bit pricey but it was tasty so I may try another :)

Cece C.
When in doubt, get a shredder bowl! That was one of the first meals I had upon moving to Tampa a few years ago and is still just as good. This place is BUSY. To say the least. We sat inside but probably should have been outside since you could barely hear yourself talk. The food was good, and service was fine. Seems like a fun place for lunch or brunch on a lazy day. I didn't know they were dog-friendly, but I plan on bringing the pup next time for sure.

First time. There was a wait but thankfully just 15 minutes. Sat in my car and waited not so patiently... What! I was hungry..... Small place inside. Everyone is real nice. Fast paced. Our server was Jay. Very nice. Took our order and we had our food in 10 minutes! That was much appreciated! I had the Mexican omelette. He had the Greek omelette. Both were very good. The house fries on the other hand, I didn't like.... Needs onions or something......too mushy. Table was small and wobbly. Had a big bin of creamer and jam.... Overall, great food and good service! Lots more stuff I need to try! We will be bacccck!

I've dismissed Daily Eats for years, assuming it was nothing more than your typical diner fare. Little did I know that I was missing out on Cap'n Crunch Crispy French Toast, Potato Chip Crusted Turkey Burgers, and Apple Pie Milkshakes. My favorite Yelper and lunch buddy, Steve E. agreed to join me for lunch last Friday at Daily Eats. After hearing the daily specials and looking over the menu we decided to start the New Year afresh and order the healthy Shredder Bowls. These unique bowls offer a combination of fresh vegetables and healthy proteins served over a bed of brown rice or quinoa and shredded lettuce or spinach. The bowls come in half portions at $6.50 or full bowls at $10. (Additional charges apply for quinoa, spinach, NY strip or ahi tuna.) The full portion was filling, but not large enough for leftovers. I would only suggest ordering the half bowl as a light snack or accompanied with another item on the menu. Steve ordered the Gyro Shredder Bowl with gyro meat, tomatoes, onions, pepperoncini, feta, tzatziki sauce and white balsamic vinaigrette served over brown rice and spinach. I ordered the Greek Shredder Bowl with shredded chicken, cucumbers, kalamata olives, pepperoncini, garbanzo beans, feta, white balsamic vinaigrette and oregano served over brown rice and spinach. Both of us agreed that the Shredder Bowls were a delicious and healthy lunch option. Breakfast, my favorite meal of the day, is offered at Daily Eats during all hours of operation so I will be back to try one of the six egg benedict options... and a breakfast bowl.... and the Cap'n Crunch French Toast! Oink! Oink! TIP: Parking is limited during peak hours, but a complimentary parking lot is located across the street.

This is one of my neighborhood faves! I especially enjoy the breakfast options but lunch and dinner are good here too. The specialty throughout the Ciccio's chain of restaurants is the bowl whereby a bunch of listed incredients are pile atop a base in a bowl. For breakfast this is usually potato and at lunch/dinner its usually a starch like rice or pasta. Again I love Daily Eats breakfast so I usually come for the Captain Crunch French Toast with cheesy bacon grits. My sister is a fan of the CNC Pancakes also accompanied by the cheesy bacon grits. I have tried several menu items and I have not been disappointed with anything but the waldorf bowl. Its a waldorf salad on rice ... yeah just give me the salad instead. The prices average $10 per entree item which makes it an affordable place to have a quick bite to eat. Oh now understand quick is a relative term depending on the time of day you visit. This place is popular so you will always find a line out of the door for lunch and weekend brunch. Its a tried and true family fave for us so its definitely worth a try.

This is a cute and casual diner-style place that is great for any meal. We had the shredder bowls, which come in two sizes so you can order depending on your appetite. The ingredients were fresh and really tasty. I had the fish taco bowl with tuna and tried he thai peanut with chicken. I loved the fish taco bowl, but the thai peanut was a little salty for me. We also had the Mac and cheese, which was flavorful and not too rich. The burgers and brunch sound amazing, so I will definitely be back. Overall this is a delicious mostly healthy option for any meal!

This is the kind of place you would find on Diners, Drive-in and Dives. And that means this is the kind of place I want to eat. For starters, my sister and I got into Tampa Airport at 9am. After picking up the rental and checking on Yelp, we found this spot for breakfast cause we was starvin. We both had some ice coffee concoction that was OK, not sweet enough for my liking, but thats just me. There was a hint of flavor, but overall it was good. Wanna say there was almond milk in it, but I am writing this review 11 days later. For breakfest I had the French Toast and Egg bowl, which was mouth watering. My sis and I split a slice of the Crunch French Toast, which if I had known how good it was (though the waitress did tell me how slammin' it is) I would have ordered 4 more slices. The place was very packed, then again it was Sunday morning and being from northern NJ, I'm use to it (though not the humidity, so we waited longer to sit inside). This joint got it going on and from what I've seen and was told, the area is going through a transition and is becoming a hot spot. Check this place out and you won't be feeling hungry or disappointed. It's because of Yelp, we are able to find these great hidden gems.

I have been here several times and always loved what I've ordered. Get what ever Taylor recommends because it will be your new favorite! I'm not sure what it was called...hope she remembers on my next visit. They keep this place spotless and it always helps when they have employees like Taylor that are very nice and helpful. I will definitely ask for her next time.

Love love love this place. My boyfriend took me for brunch and we sat outside which wasn't unbearably hot. Thank god. The server was so welcoming, and had knowledge on the menu which is always my favorite. She was also giving us her favorite items which I enjoyed. We both got breakfast bowls which were yummy. We also got a side of their captain crunch French toast. This is a dish that is discussed a lot on their yelp . I LOVED it. Next time I'll be ordering it as my main dish. We also had mimosas which were so good. The experience as a whole was great. We will deff be back .

I've been here many times and I've never been disappointed. The staff is always super courteous and friendly and it's never been a long wait time for s table. That being said, I've also only gone on weekday mornings after working and weekday afternoons - I hear the weekends can get crowded. I love that it's a little hole in the wall place to eat but the food is AMAZING. I've had both breakfast and lunch here and it's been so good every time. Their pancakes are some of the best I've ever had and I highly recommend the Dougie breakfast bowl in particular - egg whites, turkey sausage, and cinnamon wheat pancakes chopped and mixed in a bowl YUM! Sitting outside could get a little loud because you're right next to Howard Ave and there is a decent amount of traffic. I highly recommend stopping by to grab a bite if you're in the area!

Alicia P.
I've eaten breakfast, lunch and dinner here on a number of occasions. I like it! There are so many different items to choose from you can eat every meal here! For breakfast, my favorite options are the Dan (breakfast sandwich), the Greek Omelette with oatmeal and the French Toast and Eggs breakfast bowl. For lunch, I can't seem to get away from the Waldorf shredder bowl with chicken, spinach instead of shredded lettuce, no blue cheese and my dressings on the side. Is SOOOOOO yummy! And for dinner, that option changes each time but always have a good meal. OH the TATER HATERS! Those are so fabulous. And $2 mimosas after 2 pm every day! Great for those late Sunday brunches. The diner feel is fun. It is always jam packed. The service is usually really good. There are only a couple times I can recall not the most attentive or nice service. The place always looks clean. The prices are very reasonable. It's a go-to spot when you can't figure out what you want or for a quick bite. Quick once you're seated. The wait times, depending on the day/time, can be long...

Stopped by for breakfast this beautiful Saturday morning and almost decided to find somewhere else when they told me it would be a half-hour wait for just me. I am very glad I decided to stay - the breakfast and service was well worth the wait. My server, Victor, was extremely attentive and friendly. I ordered a mimosa and the Broad St. Bully benedict sandwich, with some bacon and pancakes on the side. The drinks and food arrived quickly and were *delicious*. Saturday is my "go crazy" day after eating healthy all week, and apparently the owner or manager (I think) liked my gluttonous style (I promise I don't actually eat like this all the time) so much that he bought me another mimosa. Highly recommended (but be prepared to wait) and I'll definitely be back.

Found this little gem in between audits and loved the food! I had the Captain Crunch French Toast, the Turkey Sausage with AVO and a side of potatoes. The Boss had pancakes and eggs. The food was delicious and the potatoes were so amazing the my boss ate all of it! I wish the juices were fresh squeezed but no worries because the service was really friendly and made up for it! If I ever go back I will definitely try this place again!

This place is just as delicious as ever. I tried some new dishes recently after moving to south tampa that were absolutely incredible. They have a quesadilla on the appetizer menu that could totally be a meal with its size. And It was one hell of a quesadilla. It was stuffed with pulled pork, black beans, cheese, plaintains for a little sweetness, and served with a creamy/sweet sauce (cant remember what it was). Holy cow it was so good. I also ordered a patty melt that was flippin gigantic. The picture doesnt even do it justice. It was sinful, and I couldnt even get through half of it. Thanks for another gluttonous & glorious meal Daily Eats.

I love eating in downtown areas, especially at local places that have a good vibe and menu. That being said, I was initially put off by the hostesses at DE. It was raining and the third member of our party dropped us off, so we didn't have to walk in the rain. "We can't seat you until your entire party is here," she said flatly and unappologetically. When we pointed to the door as our third arrived and said that's him, I saw an eye roll. I don't like seeing an eye roll. My other concern is that the shorts on the girls were too tight and short or they were wearing yoga crops, neither of which are appetizing to a straight lady who wants to enjoy their meal. If I wanted to go to Hooters or another kitschy bar, I would have gone there instead. Seeing young girls in their late teens and early twenties dressed like that simply didn't sit well with me. Our server was much nicer than the hostess which redeemed the dining experience a bit. My friends reassured me that the food, despite the rocky start, was well worth it. I enjoyed the Cap'n Crunch Milkshake which tasted like my childhood in a glass. The chopped bits of cereal were crunchy and the milkshake was nice and thick. I followed up with a Tampa Mule, and found it surprisingly refreshing. It was a nice local twist on the Moscow Mule. Next time, if my appetite permits it, I would like to venture into their food menu as many of the choices sounded outstanding. Hopefully the overall service will better next time.

Good spot for brunch type food. We sat outside and there was no wait. there was a wait to eat inside , however. Outside was fine but the tables were a little small for my 6 foot 3 husband. Here is a rundown of our experience Service- Our server was a little off his game, my husband's water went without a refill despite it being empty and the server seeing this twice. I was not impressed with his waiting skills Food- I had the Tijuana bowl which was huge and filling.I liked the chick peas in the chilli. My husand had the carnivore omelet which was ok. Overall the meal was sufficient. I appreciate the fact that they incorporated healthy options in their menu such as quinoa and turkey bacon. Best thing there was the side of sweet potato fries with honey. I may just go back for that and try their bloody marys with it.

Went here for breakfast per suggestion from a friend who lives in Tampa. Let me just say, I was NOT disappointed! Each person in our group ordered something different but my two faves were: Chefs Crunchy French Toast (tastes like Captain Crunch and French toast - ah making!) and the Turkey Hash-savory deliciousness! I love how they have run of the mill breakfast items but they jazz them up. Example: The Dougie has pancakes, Turkey sausage and egg whites all combined in a bowl. Random but incredible at the same time. (a perfect blend of sweet and salty) STAFF : All very knowledgeable about the menu and they make great suggestions! DECOR : Very cute, feels like a modern day diner. ATMOSPHERE : Fun and welcoming. A wide variety of people. Tip : Try the shakes! You can't go wrong with any flavor and they are all handmade, yummmmmmy

This place is to die for. I've only been for breakfast twice but I plan on coming back for lunch or dinner. Both times I ordered chocolate chip & oreo pancakes (yes, they are as delicious as they sound) with home fries. They also have many healthy options but obviously I chose to indulge. Try it! You won't be disappointed!

Favorite spot for lunch, brunch & breakfast!! Highly recommend checking it out. I have been a loyal customer to Daily Eats for years & years. No matter where I go & what I do I always come back!! I have never had a bad experience with the food yet. I do have to warn you brunch or lunch on weekends specially has long waits & if you don't mind waiting then definitely try it out. They have the best sweet potato fries in Tampa bay in my opinion. The breakfast bowls, Benedict & omelets are all wonderful. The parfait are huge & delicious! Crunchy French toast is a must!! Salad bowls are amazing & all have wonderful flavors & excite your taste buds. Burgers & sandwiches are satisfying & yum!! Go. Run. Do it, get some Daily Eats!

Stopped in for lunch we didn't have to wait which was a plus. They were serving breakfast still and a limited lunch menu. I got one of the shredder bowls which was good and my son had the buffalo chicken sandwich.

My husband and I were torn between having dinner here or at the Mexican place next door. We were already sitting down in Daily Eats when we decided to try the place next door instead. Since we had already ordered drinks we decided to split some chili cheese fries. The fries were pretty good, nice and crispy. The chilli probably would have been better in just a bowl, it was a little watery to put on top of fries. What really stood out was the service. The waitress was very friendly, quick, and efficient. When she heard us talking about going next store she said that we should really try to guacamole there as it is very good. All together were were probably in and out of Daily Eats in 10 minutes. We would definitely be willing to go here and try some other items on the menu because of the outstanding service.

My co-workers and I frequent here often after a long night at work for their amazing breakfast and their mimosa's! We love that after getting off a crazy night at work, when we show up in scrubs they are only $2! DEAL! They have some yummy flavors like blueberry, watermelon, apple, cranberry, of course original and a few I'm forgetting. This trip in particular Kodi waited on us and did a great job. I met a co-worker there after work (I was off the night before) and opted for a latte. Saddened to find out they were no longer serving expresso at all!! I got a house coffee instead. Kodi did mention that I could get flavoring in my coffee, and I'm glad she did :) My friend got her fav. blueberry mimosa. For breakfast I got the Heathy JL, which consisted of a spinach and tomato omelette along with a side of oatmeal with their house granola, and honey whipped yogurt. Now, when they say a side they really mean a bowl. I managed to eat my omelette but the amount of oatmeal that came was almost overwhelming! It was so much food!! It was all so good thou! Next time I may just order the oatmeal or the yogurt parfait because the honey whip infused yogurt and granola is to die for. Keep up the good work Daily Eats. You do breakfast right.

This place is so delicious. They have an awesome menu for brunch! The location is superb. We order the mimosa tower every time. The service is always very good. The breakfast bowls are a great mix of your favorite breakfast items! Definitely try this place! You will not be disappointed.

Pretty neat spot on Howard for all day breakfast and lunch! Came here on a Monday morning for some hair of the dog and grub. Had their beer/Bloody Mary cocktail, forgot the name, but these are my favorite type of cocktail and they nailed. Nice and savory with a kick. Had the Tater Haters app which sent me into deep thought on why I hadn't thought of that on my own. A basic yet delicioussss combo. Omg, worst reviewer ever, I can't remember the names of anything! Well whatever, I had a eggs Benedict with NY strip steak and mushrooms with a side of fruit and it was damn good. Steak could've been warmer, but I still enjoyed the flavors. My friend is a fit junkie so she had a grilled chicken bowl with brown rice. Boring but she said it was good also.

Great price point for the amount of food you get. It's top notch. Cap'n crunch French toast is on point and a lot more than I thought from what the menu said. Expect this place to be packed at noon. Coffee is great.

You would be foolish NOT to come here!! Absolutely amazing place plus amazing service! We were on our way back to the airport, yelped "breakfast" and luckily came across this place. I have never been happier with the quality of the food and the quality of the service before. It is most definitely a hidden gem. At least for me as a first time visitor, but soon to be resident of the area. Before I move down permanently I will be back to visit and I now have my new favorite breakfast/lunch place.

Miranda S.
I had a great experience here! I ordered Dan's Chicken Melt, one of their house favorites, and it was the most delicious sandwich I've had in a long time. Their sweet potato fries cost extra but are worth the price. Did I mention they have an all day breakfast menu? My SO ordered a breakfast bowl and a milkshake and loved both. The milkshake was a bit pricey, but it looked like a work of art so I can't complain too much. Overall, the staff was friendly and the atmosphere was relaxed and inviting. However, it is a very popular place so if you go during a regular meal time, you might have to wait a while to get seated. Or you could do like we did and go in the middle of the afternoon and not wait at all.

This Jersey girl is happy to have a diner style place close by! Daily Eats is so yummy! Always a crazy long wait (brunch time on weekends, forget it!) but the food has always been a winner. I love The Lox, the Burger bowl, tater hater, Captain Crunch french toast. Great casual place for any meal of the day.

Try the Captain Crunch French Toast!! So worth it! Deliciousness!! the prices were a tad bit much.. And not a lot of combos or specials. I Would definitely go back. CON: outdoor seating ridiculously cramped, inside is really small. BTW saw John Cena (WWE Celeb)

This is a great place for a casual brunch. Diner style eating. They have outside eating which is also nice and they are dog friendly. Don't expect fancy pants food but it's definitely tasty. Service can be slow when they get busy.

On the 7th day, as He sat back taking in his creations, God whipped up one final concoction--Captain Crunch French toast--which he catalogued in the Book of Eats. Everything I've had here is amazing and, based on the consistent crowd of brunch snobs and foodies, I'm not alone. Staff is incredible, too. Rock on Erin and crew.

In Tampa for only a few days and tried to squeeze in as many food places as possible. Daily Eats was by far the best breakfast I've had. I was alone on a Friday lunch and the place was packed inside. Once I squeezed into a free spot on the bar eating area, a lined formed immediately behind me and the outside seating filled up quick. This was a good sign to me; so expect a wait when you get there. I had to get what a friend recommended to me and got a breakfast bowl and the french toast. I added a little guac on the bowl to make it "healthy". funny thing when I ordered the french toast was that when I was asked how I wanted it, at least 5 people around me unanimously said "crispy!" I'm glad I took their suggestion because I later found out it was covered in cap'n crunch. The bowl had plentiful eggs well scrambled and the bacon was done perfectly. The portions were huge and I was almost certain I was going to pack away what I couldn't finish off. Good thing for the endless topping off of hot coffee (and a to-go cup before I left), I stuck my guns and finished everything. I do know this, when I go back down to Tampa on a red-eye, this will be the reason why I even book the red-eye.

I used to come here often with Betty back in the day. They are priced fairly and the food is pretty consistent. Eggs benedict was sometimes a crap shoot as they would be overcooked half the time. They have unique milkshakes and the service is very good. Haven't been here in a while, but wouldn't hesitate to stop in. On a side note, parking sometimes sucks when at peak moments but there is street parking close by.

My mom and I stopped in for a quick lunch before my flight home and we left satisfied! We split a patty melt on a DE bun with sweet potato fries, and each got espresso. We got a puff'd (marshmallow) shake to go. We told the waiter we were kind of in a hurry, and he made sure to get us in and out quickly. The patty melt was delicious, cooked as ordered, lots of flavor. The sweet potato fries were drizzled with honey. Not as crispy as I like but they were tasty. The shake was good too, and I was impressed that they use real whipped cream. All in all service was excellent and the food was quite good. I would come back!

I don't live in Tampa, but I will definitely be returning every time I fly into the city. I wish I had a Daily Eats in my area. Service: Amazing! Our server Kate was spectacular and very attentive. wait time was minimal for the food to come out. Food: Ordered the NY Blue bowl; best choice I could have made. Great size portion, taste was great, a lot of steak. Over all, amazing! Also ordered the Oreo shake, It's a must!

Well It wasn't thanksgiving but i had the Turkey! This was not my first time to Daily Eats but it was my first time having lunch and boy was I pleasantly surprised. I ended up ordering the Turkey Burger dipped in Cornflakes with Fries (You have to have fries with a Burger) and let me tell you, WOW! this was delicious moist, hands down one of the guest burgers I have had. My two lunch companions had the rice bowls, one with Ahi and the other was Gyro and they both raved about how good theirs were as well. We got there at 11:50 and was seated within 15 minutes - during the lunch rush and trust me there was a bunch of customers waiting. We never felt rushed and our server was awesome. Guess what, Daily eats, you have me as a very satisfied customer

psssstttt, The apple-pie milkshake has crack in it. Okay, not literally but the milkshakes are sooo delicious and addicting, i was convinced that was something illegal in it! I couldn't stop myself from sipping the delicious heaven in a cup. When I first received my order, there was a long blond hair hanging out beside my pickle. The server took it back and they remade my food. The manager was really nice, apologized and took off of my bill. I've worked in fast food/restaurants before so I realize these things happen sometimes. Oh well, just remake my food and please hold off on the hair strings this time. I ordered a turkey burger on wheat with tots and it was very delicious (i made sure there were no hair in my food this time!). My friend ordered chili fries and a veggie burger. We both were satisfied with our food and service. I will come back again.

Fun all-American classic diner with fast friendly service. Hubby and I stopped for breakfast based on other Yelper reviews and thoroughly enjoyed our meals. For this visit, it was only the two of us today so we didn't wait long for outside seating. I ordered a side of tater tots with "The Dan", gorgeous breakfast sandwich with eggs, bacon, fried jalapenos on a fresh chibatta. Hubby ordered the The Tijuanna bowl, a hot spicy mess of delicious. We both our meals and can't wait to visit again to try another Daily Eats favorite.

A partner of my who live in the area recommend this place. This is a solid small diner located in the SoHo district . I arrived in town in the morning to have breakfast. I was quickly seated . The place is pretty small and busy . Parking was a challenge. I ordered a California omelette that includes house made guacamole, potato frys and wheat toast . Over all a solid spot for breakfast. Full bar with happy hours specials also.

You cannot go wrong eating here. Simply home cooked, comfort foods is why I like to go back. The burgers are juicy and well portioned, the mac n cheese decadent, and the breakfast bowls are to die for. The food comes out fast and hot. I love the combinations they use to make the menu fun and exciting. The problem I have is that I always want 3-4 items.... My favorite item is the buffalo mac n cheese bowl. I also like the Tater Hater which is there loaded tots. The parking is a little frustrating at times. They have a great happy hour special for drinks and food.

Love this place. I live down the street and often walk here to grab a burger bowl for dinner. It's also a must visit when friends are in town. Any dish with salmon is always amazing.The servers are always nice and never uppity. The prices are affordable and dishes are consistent.

This cool place in SOHO (south Howard Ave) has some great options. I ordered online and went to pick up. They have two reserved 10 minute spots for people picking up which is really convenient. The staff was friendly and knew what I was there for. I ordered the buffalo chicken shredder bowl and am currently stuffing my face, it's so good. I also ordered a side of sweet potato fries which are amazing as well. The half of the shredder bowl is kind of small, so I wish I had gotten the full but it's a good amount for what you pay. When I went to pick up the food people were eating outside with their dogs. I love that! I'll have to keep that in mind for taking our dog out around there.

So I go here all the time and love the food. But I just had the WORST service ever. We were completely ignored for the first ten minutes even though we were sitting right by the register. Everyone proceeded to chat and ignore us. Finally our server comes over after another server takes our drink order. Then doesn't come back at all. We get our food from someone else also. Then I had to stare down a waitress to make eye contact to get some pepper. After all this a totally different person brings us our check. No one asks if we want drink refills, dessert etc. . Mind you the whole time our server was within 5 feet from us. Get your shit together Daily Eats!

I'm thinking the food may be a little hit or miss here because what I ordered looked nothing as good as the pictures posted here! Still, this is a cool diner in Tampa. Inside has the big booths reminiscent of a 50s diner. They have counter stools too. I am a big fan of their outdoor dining area; the patio offers plenty of shady thanks to the roof overhang. They have a great menu with lots of options, however you do get what you pay for here. I ordered the omelette with goat cheese and avocado. Three tiny slivers of avocado was what I got and there wasn't a tablespoon of goat cheese in the entire omelette. It was good but it could have been much better. The biggest issue with this place is the service, so if thats a big deal to you, then you will need to go elsewhere. We were in the mood for breakfast late on Sunday morning. The hostess sat us promptly with breakfast menus. It took at least 5 mins for the waitress to make the first stop and when she did she whisked the menus from our hands and told us they were switching to the lunch menu in a 2 minutes. Well, maybe if you greeted us when we first sat down 5 mins ago we could have ordered. I don't give up on a place just because of one below average service experience, so ill be back to try their other items and will update my review then.

My boyfriend and I were in town from Miami and love looking for new places to eat!! THANK YOU YELP FOR LEADING US HERE! We went on a Saturday morning. The food was simply amazing and tasted so fresh. We sat at the bar and got a perfect view of all the food being sent out. Everything being sent out had to be perfect! The staff was extremely nice and friendly. The waiter was very helpful and attentive. The food was very very tasteful and fresh!! We are going back for dinner because we loved it so much!

I don't know what it is about brunch but I always order everything and I had the same problem here but actually finished it all. So good.

Just left Daily Eats....asked for the BBQ Chicken Sandwich I had on Friday, and they would not serve it. It wasn't after 3PM??? Crazy. It was Noon on Friday when I had it. Time of day really shouldn't matter.....oh well, so we left. Now we are at Panera enjoying Lunch. I have always enjoyed my Meals at Daily Eats. Not today, new management? There are ways to say "no" but I didn't get it today.
We were staying in Tampa for the weekend the and wanted a place for breakfast. Looked on Yelp, read the reviews for this place and decided to give it a shot. So glad we did. First, Jay our server was excellent, friendly and recommendations were spot on. The food was delicious. Husband had the captain crunch french toast and said it was the best he's had. I had the greek omelet and it was huge, fresh and delicious. We will definitely be coming here again next time we visit Tampa. You ever get just a good vibe from someplace? This place, the area has that vibe. Good atmosphere is only topped by the excellent food. Thanks for a great. Dining experience.

Well, my friend talked this place up, and yes the food was pretty good. I came here on a Tuesday Morning around 10:30 AM. Had terrible service. It was not super packed, ive seen diners in New Jersey that were slammed but the waitors have been on their A-Game..but here not so much. I came with two other people & altho we were seated right away, it took awhile to get our waters..menus..and even put in our order. It seemed like all the waitors were basically farting around and not really servicing anyone. I believe the owner or some type of manager who was sitting behind us over heard us talking shit and cracked the whip on one of the waitors. I got "The New Yorker" At first glance, i thought to myself "im gonna be hungry after this". I was wrong...half way through eating this Egg Benedict with a fair amount of Salmon..i entered the Itus mode. It also came with a side..and i chose Home fries which were okay. I knew i should have gotten the grits but they charged extra for cheese. lame! The Benedict itself was great and worth the $10 or whatever. OH annnnddd i had an Apple Mimosa which hit the spot! I wouldnt say that you should rush here..but for breakfast it was pretty good.

Okay so I usually love daily eats but this time they seriously messed up. I ordered an egg bowl and asked for runny eggs. I ended up getting scrambled eggs so I sent it back. Then they brought it out with scrambled eggs again and tried to tell me they were runny scrambled eggs.... What the hell! Anyways I guess they don't know what runny eggs are and they don't care to get your order right The second wrong order was just left with us after the waiter tried to make "runny scrambled eggs" a thing. There was no offer to actually fix it.

Great place for Sunday Brunch!!! I just went here on Sunday and this place was packed as usual. I suggest eating at the bar inside, its first come first serve. I've never had anything bad off their menu and every day from 2-7 pm you can get $2 mimosas.

Food was good. Service was terrible. 10a on a monday, they were busy but not full. Waitress never brought us coffee as we asked, and never brought the grits that came with my meal even after I mentioned it multiple times. Then still charged me full price on food I didn't get. There's plenty of other options around the area to choose from.

My wife and I and a friend ate lunch here on vacation and it was really impressive. The breakfast options (all day I think?) are creative and very tasty. I had one of their featured "bowls" that had gyro meat, tzatziki, veggies over a bed of spaghetti squash (sub for rice I highly recommend). We had the special pork quesadillas and a group side of sweet potato fries drizzled in honey. Outstanding across the board, original, well prepared, nice staff. Must try.

Seriously !!! Every time I come here and order they have ran out of food I was here at 1045 and I sat here for 20 min waiting for food, then they tell me they are out of grits last time it was oatmeal I was told they stop selling breakfast at 11am. But you serve it all don't so .... I heard the server yelling at kitchen staff about inconsistency, so that's not my fault that food was sold out and I didn't get my grits prior to 11 AM so then I asked can I get 2 pieces of French toast since grits are out she said No , That's a joke not here to please customers and then they wanna charge me 4 dollars for French toast. Only in south Tampa So after this I will not be returning here to another ruined restaurant due to south Tampa staff that just care about $$$ instead of customer service I will be taking my buisness to Hyde park and I assure you this yelp review will be one to be in the books so anyone that eats here is you want overpriced hangover food then come to "basic eats where all the basic people eat !!!!

I had to downgrade this place a little bit. The last few times we have been here the service has been pretty bad. The hostess seemed confused a about how to put 2 tables together to accommodate 4 adults, 2 kids, and a baby. They just generally seemed unwelcoming. The servers are also so slow! When you have a baby with you time is much more of an issue. Even though I still like the food a lot we will probably have to try to find a more efficient breakfast spot with the baby.

Daily Eats came very very close to disappointing me, but they saved it with the meal they served. This was a 3.5 star meal, but I'm rounding down for 2 reasons We showed up wanting a late breakfast, and sat down at around 2:50 or something. I should point out that I am not positive about the time - but it was 5-10 minutes before they switched from their breakfast menu, to their lunch/dinner menu with breakfast all day. This is important, because the server came by after a few minutes and took the breakfast menu away and gave us the lunch/dinner with breakfast menu. She told us that they were 2 minutes-by that point- from the time they switched and said we couldn't order from the full breakfast menu anymore. I want to take a full star away for this, but I won't because I'm a nice guy, but this is B.S. First, we had already been sitting for 3-5 minutes. Second, if you draw a line in the sand, then you should abide by that line. If I had 2 minutes, then I had 2 minutes. I don't like being the person who, for example, sits down in a restaurant within 10-15 minutes of closing, but this was the middle of the afternoon. Same kitchen, same cooks, and if I had 2 minutes, I should have been able to order what I wanted. So while I didn't deduct the star, this is the first of two reasons for the rounding down in my rating. Anyway, the issue was, of course, that my girlfriend and I both wanted something on the regular breakfast menu that wasn't on the all day menu. But, putting the spoiled brat part of me aside, we each found something on the all day menu that we liked. I got the Dan - scrambled eggs, fried jalapenos, bacon and swiss (I dropped the tomatoes because, lets face it, tomatoes are "icky," to use the scientific term) on chibatta bread. Really good breakfast sandwich. However, I ordered fries with that (what? who doesn't like french fries for breakfast? Besides, I ran that morning, which means if I want fries for breakfast then I can have fries for breakfast!). The fries weren't that good. I don't understand the battered french fry thing. I've complained about it before, but it doesn't improve the fry. Cut potato, drop in fryer, drown in bucket of salt (seasoned salt, if you're feeling fancy) and you're done. Anything else is unnecessary and doesn't add to the flavor, it detracts. Hence, you get rounded down from 3.5 stars. I realize 3 stars is mediocre, but this was a 3.5 star meal and I am anxious to go back to try something else.

This place really is as good as the reviews say. Went Saturday morning at 11AM. I knew it would be busy but we really didnt wait that long to be seated; maybe like 10 minutes.The place was packed but we were well attended and got our food quickly. We got the: Tijuana Bowl New York Style Eggs Benedict California Omelet Fresh Squeezed Orange Juice Everything was delicious, hot, and we got GENEROUS PORTIONS! Enough to take food home for later. My omelet was hearty with lots of meat (turkey, bacon), melty cheese, and super thick with lots of eggs! SO GOOD! And the orange juice was delicious all though you just get a small cup. All in all, an EXCELLENT place to go. Would definitely go back and take friends there in the future. I look forward to going there for lunch or dinner to try their other food items. Lastly, the price is just right. About $9 a plate but you get TONS of food!

Awesome breakfast food here! I had their Tijuana omelette, and it was great! The place was so packed that I ordered to go, and it was still pretty good. I have also had their shredder bowls, and they are awesome as well. I suggest to anyone!

Average food for exuberant prices, that's how I know I'm in SoHo. Staff is nice and that's nice but I will not be eating here again. If you enjoy basic breakfast with out-of-touch Yuppies here's your new favorite spot. Overhearing their gripes about the boat taking too long to be repaired or what to do with the yacht now that they live on a golf course was funny at first but, wow, just at first. Best part was waiting forever to be seated to eat greasy fried food. I'm going back to Seminole Heights. I'll leave the booth open for some yacht club kids so they have somewhere to eat while they wait to collect their inheritances.

This is my go to place for a South Tampa brunch. The breakfast bowls are good as well as the mojito's. I go for the atmosphere and the outside seating. A must for the South Tampa brunch scene.

Oh. My. God. Really, that is all I can say. I am drooling just thinking of writing about the food I ate there today. I said to my mom the other day something like: I haven't found any place in florida yet, that I simply can't live without, with food that I crave. Well, I think I've found it. My mom and I ordered our own meals but shared, so I've tried the New Yorker (representin'!) Benedict (puddle) it was so friggen delicious and the salmon wasn't even fishy at all. It was sweet, salty and savory. I also got to try their turkey burger which was so fresh I swear they just killed the livestock out back before making my meal. Their food is so full of flavor and even making health conscious decisions won't leave you hungry or disappointed. I will DEFINITELY be going back.

Overall a solid meal. Contemporary, edgy diner serves up bowls of great grub. Went for lunch and the place was packed, so we sat at the bar and were immediately helped. Waitress was really on top of her game. She had the whole bar area on lock, and was extremely accommodating to everyone in the restaurant, not just us. The concept here is quite unique. It kind of reminds me of a japanese restaurant that serves donburi or "don" for short, but substitues fish and seafood for classic american fare like bbq chicken, hamburger and interestingly enough, turkey (which was great). There are a few not-so-traditional concoctions such as the Thai bowl which was also great. What I liked most about this place was the balance of all of the ingredients in the bowls to really make it a healthy, complete meal. The turkey option is also nice, as it is a nice alternative to the usual chicken. This is a neat concept worth trying out. I look forward to eating here again when I am on this side of town. 4.5 stars.

I wasn't impressed. Service was slow, food barley warm when served. We went absolutely starving for breakfast, Normally when you are that hungry anything taste great. not the case., the eggs were very blah, crispy French toast were good but not filling enough to just have that, you really need edible eggs to go with. Was it "horrible "? ... No Was it "good"?...No Therefore 3 stars.. Would I return? Not by my suggestion but I'm sure since it's a local soho place one of my girls will persuade me and I will only hope it's better the 2nd time.

My boyfriend and I absolutely loves this place. It has a modern, young, unique atmosphere. The cleanest bathrooms I've ever seen, and VERY friendly staff. I had the turkey hash and grits and the hash was very flavorful and tasted homemade and fresh. The grits were creamy like my mama makes em. My boyfriend had the carnivore and he cleaned his plate the coffee was excellent. Would DEF recommend to anyone looking for a cool little downtown spot for breakfast. We ate outside in the sunshine and loved it. I eat gluten free and their menu specified the items I could choose. LOVE that. The only thing we were missing was my order came out a little different than I specified and they fixed it right away. There wasn't any butter or jelly for my boyfriends toast.

Have lived within walking distance for a year. Take the kids every weekend and have informal breakfast meetings once a month or so. Has been excellent until about the past month. The wait staff has been awful. Things that used to be easy to request in the past are now "not allowed". "Oh, you can't have that bread for breakfast, it's only for lunch bs someone would have to go to the back to get it". Same damn toast I've been ordering for nine months. It seems a majority of the staff is there for a social function vs. taking care of customers. This morning the waitress's butt was literally hanging out of her shorts. I mean, literally and it wasn't anything anyone wanted to see. I used to tell everyone that it's the place to go, but it has been so bad we are going to start the search for a new weekend breakfast spot. Hard to believe a place could go from great to that bad in such a short time. Must have been a change in management. Hope it goes back the other way sometime soon.

Family just moved to Tampa area and we stopped in at Daily Eats because my girlfriend said it was great. This place is fantastic! From start to finish I was really impressed - we started with mimosas (blueberry and mango, $2 daily from 2-7) and chicken quesadillas. For our main course we had the Daily Eats burger (angus - $6, 2-7 daily, with added bacon, cheddar, and a fried egg over easy), and the New Mexico shredder bowl (with pork), while our kids tried the Mac'n'Cheese and. Every item (even the fries) was cooked/seasoned perfectly. We also had a second round of drinks (Florida Cracker Pale Ale and St. Pete's Mule, also very tasty). We finished with 2 shakes: Stay Puff'd (vanilla ice cream, toasted marshmallow, hot fudge) and Are U Peanuts (peanut butter, chocolate ice cream). Everything we had was top notch, far more than I ever expected when I walked into this little diner!

I always thought this place would look like an "old fashion dinner" with lots of fried food and was I wrong. Came here on a Sunday morning there was a long line of people waiting outside to be seated so I assumed that meant the food must be good or there is no other place open at this time. We decided to go on the wait list which was approximately 20-25 minutes. The wait to sit seemed shorter than the time we waited for the food but the food was great. I love that I can order just one piece of French toast or pancakes and not be forced to eat a full plate. I ordered one French Toast topped with chocolate chips (fantastic), the smoked salmon (not too salty) and a pink grapefruit mimosa. The waitress was very friendly and definitely knew the menu. great place for breakfast, the burger in the lunch menu was also good and if you like Bloody Mary's you should try theirs. I found this place to be very loud so if you're looking for a quiet, conversation place this may not be your to go spot.

This place was super packed when we came on a Friday morning. Fortunately we were still sat right away on the outside patio. The noise level for what it was wasn't too bad. The menu was amazing. Everything sounded so delicious so I tried their goat cheese, spinach and avocado omelette. Not impressed :-/ it was undercooked and flavorless. My bf got their bacon and eggs on a bed of cheese and tater tots. He didn't like it at all. The highlight of that meal was their OJ. The tater tots were good and I was thrilled to find they were GF, along with many other items on the menu. I may or may not try them again if I'm ever in the area. Maybe it was an off day from what I read in other posts.

We stopped by Daily Eats for breakfast while visiting family. I thought they had a pretty creative menu and the quality of everything that we ordered was great. The staff was a bit agressive and bordered on being rude. But they were attentive and prompt so it wasn't as big of a deal. Overall, we had a nice breakfast which was complimented by a bottle of champagne for mimosas.

Fatigue. Haziness. Zombie-like walk. Yes. Ann and I are hungover. Shameful, but true. Is the end near? Probably not, but if there is any consolation prize for a hangover, it is yummy breakfast and a mimosa. And what better place to get just that on a Saturday afternoon than Daily Eats? We're glad they stayed open despite a down computer system. I'm not sure what would have become of us if we hadn't had this chance to shovel delicious food into our stomachs like it is going out of style. And AWESOME food at that! Revenge is best served cold and over blueberries, so we took to teaching our bodies a lesson for reacting so disapprovingly to our excesses and ordered two delicious blueberry mimosas. No worries, they have your standard, plus a variety of fruit juice mixtures that will make your mouth water: cranberry apple mimosa. This delightful afternoon cocktail was light and refreshing, the perfect match for a breezy, 80-degree afternoon in Tampa.... continued on Dreaming Ingredients Food Blog.

What a great place for breakfast!!!! There were a lot of us and we all enjoyed our food!!! Best pancakes we've had in a LONG time!!!

We came here on Saturday for breakfast. Saw many reviews which stressed the importance of arriving by 9:30sh, which we heeded. As soon as were seated, folks were piling in and the wait began. Despite a small dining space, folks seemed to be seated in 30 minutes or less depending on party size. Our server Betsy was very personable, attentive and had good recommendations. We wanted to try a little of everything, so we ordered the Monday Morning(egg whites w/ red onions, turkey sausage, american cheese, on a bed of fresh spinach),The Dougie(chopped whole wheat buttermilk pancakes,egg whites, and turkey sausage, together in a bowl) and the Capt. Crunch crusted French Toast one with strawberries and one with peanut butter chips. I love PB, so this one was my fav. :) Can honestly say we enjoyed every morsel of everything we ordered! Especially the Captain Crunch French Toast.. who would have thought? Only thing I would change would be to saute the spinach in the Monday Morning. Another pleasant surprise was the comped mimosa for first time customers. Can not beat it! We will definitely be back on future Tampa visits because of the reasonable prices, creative menu and cool service.

The food here is really good. The buffalo chicken sandwich is the best I have ever had. Shredder bowls are delicious if you want a healthier meal. The temperature of mine never seems quite right. It should be layered warm and cool foods. Sometimes it's all just lukewarm. Still good tho. Prices are very reasonable. Service is ok. You get what you need but feel like an imposition. If they improved the servers attitudes and customer service skills this place would be worth the wait you'll have to endure before you're seated.

Very good, fun food. They have an awesome breakfast menu and if you have a sweet tooth I would definitely go for the Captain Crunch French Toast or their Chai Shake. If you are in for lunch their shredder bowls are definitely a good option. Portions are big even for a hungry eater like me so just keep that in mind when ordering the 1/2 or full portions. Serving staff is rad and very knowledgable, just try to stay away on a Sunday lunch, no reservations equals an hour wait. This restaurant also has two sister restaurants on Howard: The Lodge and The Lime; Daily Eats is by far the most original but the other two are worth noting.

Another reviewer said, "you can go to any restaurant in the Ciccio's Restaurant Group and I guarantee you'll enjoy your meal" and that is seriously the truth. Daily Eats was a fabulous addition to Soho, the patio is a great place to eat, the food is amazing, and the staff is great! Its simple food done right and leaves your soul happier. And its so not even in the same universe as IHOP... please... Oh and their patio is doggy friendly!!

During our last trip to Tampa we asked the hotel staff for a good place, close by, to grab breakfast. When she recommended the local Waffle House, out came my trusty Yelp app with the quickness! Tampa had to offer more than a Waffle House, right?? We stumbled upon Daily Eats, and after reading a few reviews decided to check it out. As we drove by we noticed a decent sized crowd waiting outside. With the fear of Waffle House in us, we decided we would just wait it out. When we put our name in, the hostess said there was plenty of outdoor seating available if we didn't want to wait for a spot inside. Heck yeah! After all, we were still trying to thaw after a very snowy New England winter. Everything on the menu looked great! I decided to try the Tijuana breakfast bowl which consisted of scrambled eggs, vegetable chili, pepper jack cheese and guac served over home fries. Sometimes bowls like this are just a hodgepodge of ingredients fighting for space, and in the end everything just beings to taste like one singular overpowering item. Not this bowl!! There were the perfect amounts of everything, so each bite was a little different and very delicious. All the flavors played very well together, and nothing was overpowering. Next time we're in Tampa, we'll be back for sure!

It was okay. Wasn't thrilled with the menu. Sort of tasted like IHOP. Not bad, but expected a bit more. The cafe latte was salty. They said that the machine is hit or miss with making them. It was taken off and another drink was brought out, no questions which was decent. I got the french toast and egg bowl. It was okay. Service was good. If you're around and haven't tried it, I guess try it out. It does get busy though.

Daily Eats is a great place for breakfast. If your schedule allows you to go on the weekday, then I definitely recommend it. It is quite and relaxing. If you can only go on the weekend, then definitely get there before 9am! It is a small restaurant, and gets incredibly busy the later that it gets. Most of the waiting is all outside, so it can get pretty hot in the summer months. They have big booths (3-4) that can accomodate big groups, so it is a fun place to come with friends. The menu is pretty varied, and has a lot of good items on it. I always like the Mexican breakfast bowl. It is really tasty, and always fills me up. The breakfast sandwiches are a good way to go as well if you are on a budget. The service is never crazy good, but at breakfast I am usually a bit more laid back than I am at dinner anyhow. Get a cup of coffee and hang out. There are tv's inside too, so you can catch up on the news from last night, or highlights from last night's game on ESPN.

Another place I've gotten hooked on. Had several friends that would frequent here for breakfast and finally got the chance to join. I love the item names on the menu and the food is nothing short of delicious. Whether you are health-conscious or a foodie, you won't be disappointed. As with many South Tampa restaurants, parking can get tricky depending on what time you go. Still worth the wait and the money.

Have had daily eats cater some lunches at the business I work at, but when I went with my husband to eat dinner waited over an hour for our order of mac and cheese and ahhi tuna before we finally left without eating. The waiter even kept saying our order was coming out next but We kept seeing huge tables that came after us get served and they would eat and even leave!!! Would love to try again but hubby was so angry about the service I doubt we'd ever go back.

Last saturday morning Bill and I were in desperate need for breakfast food!!! Initially, we set out to try Pinky's however, there were literally no parking spaces in sight and there was a line out the door so we decided to look elsewhere. I remembered reading really good reviews about Daily Eats so we ventured over to the soho area! Upon arrival, there looked to be a fairly long wait however, we were at our table in about 15 minutes. They have a really nice covered area so that you can wait outside which sprays mist to keep the heat from being unbearable! My biggest complaint with Daily Eats is that the space is very small and we sat in a booth right next to another booth and the guy next to me was literally talking SO loud that I could barely hear myself THINK let alone carry on a conversation with my man. But I digress! Lets move on to the food, shall we? Bill and I both started with a cantaloupe mimosa! I really enjoyed it but, I don't think it was Bill's thing. No fault to Daily Eats he is just not a champagne fan. As for food, I had a omelet made with half egg whites and my choice of vegetables with home fries and it was amazing!! I absolutely loved the potatoes. Sometimes at restaurants the home fries can be very bland and tasteless but not here! I highly recommend them. Bill got the "dan" sandwich and he had no complaints :) We will definitely be back!

I had about 30 minutes before my morning meeting in Tampa. I was STARVING and looking for a great breakfast option that would be filling, healthy, and relatively quick! On to the Daily Eats! I sidled up to the bar, and had a mug of coffee in my hand in no time. I ordered the Raymond - egg whites, spinach, tomatoes, and cheese on toasted multi grain bread. DELICIOUS. I also had a side of fruit to go with! The guy behind the counter was AWESOME. And fun and friendly. I wish I had more time to stay and savor my food, but had to run out pretty quickly. My breakfast was perfect, and I loved the laid back atmosphere of the place!

Breakfast at night! What more can you ask for. Even with that, I ordered other things on the menu. Starting out, tried the Chili Cheese Fries. They were great, but in a pool of cheese not so appetizing. For cheese lovers, they will be in love, but not so much for me. Nonetheless try a small order for around two people. The blackened chicken on the daily special menu was wonderful. It was so spicy, which is what I love. I have never had such a great level of spice other than at a Thai restaurant. I definitely recommend it. The location is great as you can take a seat outside, enjoy the weather and people watch. Will definitely try once again and will have breakfast at night!

Just stumbled across this place. The service was amazing. Very fun atmosphere. Excellent, diverse menu. I'm an eggs Benedict fan and they had many varieties. I had the Broad St. Bully, which was similar to a Philly Steak and Cheese Benedict Style. I had Cheese grits on the side and they were great too. My husband got a breakfast bowl (Steak and Eggs) which he really enjoyed. He ordered a side of Crunchy French Toast (made with Cap'n Crunch) and it was pretty awesome. We'll definitely be going back!

I let Yelp help me find a place for breakfast while in Tampa and I was not disappointed. Tried the Oreo cookie french toast and the chocolate chip pancakes (yes I eat like a 4 yr old). While I was most looking forward to the french toast I actually liked the chocolate chip pancakes the best. I also tried the fresh squeezed OJ which turned out to be almost $4 - it was good... just not that good For the two of us breakfast ran about $30 which is way to much for breakfast... that being said... our bill could have been much less had we known how to order. The plates were huge and we left about half of our food. If you go as a couple and want the pancakes just split a plate, grab a side of turkey sausage and skip the OJ and go with the coffee which was also delicious - you can easily get out of there for around 15 bucks for two people which isn't too bad. A little loud when we went though thanks to a couple of different screaming children but I won't let that effect my rating since that really isn't anyone's fault I would like to go back to try some of the breakfast bowls. Also should note there was no wait when we got there around 9am on a Saturday but the place started filling up shortly after we got there.

So.... Here's the thing about this place. It used to be Jim Strickland's Old meeting house, where Harold would scoop you up a double cone of their home made icecream - something he did when my dad was a kid and was still doing when I was in college.... Sadly, Jim retired and sold the joint to Matthew Hoffman, who decided to 'update' the place and quickly ruined it. Just because your dad is a successful developer, does not mean you have a freaking clue what to do with an institution. Then - while I was out of town at grad school... this new team took over and upped the ante. Well. Yes they did. After months of NOT trying the place (still seething about Old Meeting House) I decided to pop in and give it a shot. The menu is deceptively simple - I went with an angus burger (at my server's suggestion) on a cibiatta roll. Added bleu cheese, red onions and lettuce. Dipped on the fries in favor of a salad. Still expecting fail. I wanted to hate the place. I was wrong. very wrong. The burger was outstanding. Top notch. DELICIOUS. The salad was chopped, with a house vinaigrette that made my taste buds very happy. Well. Here I was all ready to be mean, and the food was so good all I can do is smile and tell you that it took a very long time to eat that gigantic superb burger. Only cons: The open door (yeah, the weather is 'ok' but outside traffic noise is NOT a win, sorry) made the meal a very noisy event, even at 2 pm on a Monday. My server seemed anxious for me to finish (end of shift maybe? that was kind of annoying) and the burger was not pink in the middle like I asked for. Still tasty, but not cooked as directed. With tax and tip, 14 bucks for lunch. Not cheap, but way better than I imagined.

You can call me a breakfast connoisseur. If there is a good breakfast in the city, I will seek it out and destroy my diet. Since discovering all that Soho has to offer, I decided I want to live there. This is one more reason why. I loved this cute little new-aged dinner. The menu was pretty extensive and the food was simply delicious. I couldn't ask for anything more. Oh yeah... and the prices are reasonable. Just to say what I got both times. And by both, I mean that I went there twice in a week because I was so happy the first time. First time I got an omelet loaded with veggies and a side of potatoes. The omelet was fluffy and packed full of veggies. The side of potatoes were "soo good you don't need ketchup." I stole that direct quote from my sister. Second visit, I got the Broad St. Bully Benedict., which is an eggs benedict with hollandaise sauce, shaved sirloin, american cheese, caramelized onions and mushrooms. My sister got the New York Benedict which was an eggs benedict with smoked salmon, chive cream cheese, and hollandaise sauce. Perfecto. The place had a nice crowd around 1-2 pm on a saturday, and I'm sure its even busier earlier in the day on the weekend. Either way, it's worth the wait and the visit. This place has something for everyone, whether your watching your calories, looking for greasy-spoon type food, or just something new. Good for the entire family and has a great outdoor seating area.

I had an informal business breakfast here last week and have to say that the food and service were very good. Since I walk past the place all the time and it's constantly busy I knew there must be something to it. Seeing Nicole's photos of Sunday Brunch made it inevitable I would try the place out anyway. If you've never been, Daily Eats is a diner style place right along S. Howard Avenue with both indoor and outdoor seating. There's a classic counter to sit at - it should remind you of any number of roadside diners.. although a cleaner, friendlier version. I highly recommend getting one of the Breakfast Bowls. You can get omelets anywhere, but my Tijuana Bowl with eggs, salsa and guacamole was unique and about as tasty a breakfast meal as you can find. It's hard to find a place good enough to meet clients or business contacts for breakfast, at least where the average age is under 65. This is definitely the spot.

So when you have to go speak somewhere downtown at 8 am when you're used to rolling out of the rack about 9:30 every morning, the first thing you think is "yikes, that's early and that sucks." But when the second thought is "at least I'll be done in time to get to Daily Eats for breakfast," that should give you some indication of how good this place is. I got the carnivore omelet. I always get the carnivore omelet. Everything else on the menu could be written in sanskrit and it wouldn't make a difference to my dining experience. Ham, sausage, cheese, bacon, and brought to your table quickly always by a waitress that's attentive without being pushy. But what makes it a 5 star experience is the home fries that are marinated in pure joy and love. They are quite amazing, and for some reason much tastier than the ones you get everywhere else on planet earth, and yes I just argued that they they are the world's greatest home fries. Oh, and now they serve Coke Zero. Awesomeness unlocked!

I was in Tampa for the first time in forever this past week, and went to the best place I know for restaurant recomendations...YELP...so this place came up. Off I go placing the address in the GPS..props to this place being on the corner and having ample parking spaces around. I decided to sit outside and enjoy the weather on a cool afternoon. I sat for a bit, until the waitress finally greeted me. I placed my order fairly quickly (a BLT with tater-tots..I LOVE that they even offer tater tots!) The order came out promptly. So everything is going fine right?? Then...BOOM..I don't see the waitress again for like 20 minutes! WTH? All wasn't lost though..she returned finally and apologized for not being attentive..so I wasn't too bent out of shape about it..overall..nice place..reminds me of boutique cafes in NYC..I may return next time I'm in town and try out their breakfast..

Awesome spot! Came here on vacation in Tampa for brunch/lunch with friends. Had the strawberry salad and 3 bean veggie chili. I loved them both. My hubby and friends ordered the pancakes, eggs benedict, and patty melt. Everyone really enjoyed their food and our waitress was awesome! I know where to come for a great breakfast or lunch in Tampa!

For breakfast, Daily Eats seems about a dollar or two overpriced. It's a typical breakfast diner, you'll get a solid meal, decent coffee. Service was good, my coffee cup never got near empty (and I drink a lot of coffee). Unfortunately, my girlfriend's meal was lukewarm. Lukewarm eggs are pretty gross, right? My Carnivore omelet was solid and my grits were pretty yummy. Both of our meals were about $8.50 each. Based on the quality compared to other diners in the area, $7.00 would be more appropriate. Decent enough that I'll go again. Average enough that I won't be rushing there.

Last Sunday Scott turned to me and said, "Entertain me, monkey!" No, no, that's a joke, but we did have a little trouble deciding what we wanted to do. Most of our lives together revolve around food. What to eat, where to eat, how long it will take to get to the places we do eat, etc. So I grabbed my Yelp! bookmarks list and started naming breakfast/brunch restaurants I had thought about trying over the two years I've been collecting. We skimmed over a few in Clearwater and St. Pete, but there was a gay pride festival going on which we feared would end up keeping us waiting for hours and hours. Instead we settled on Daily Eats in Tampa. I knew I had never been and Scott thought he hadn't (turns out when we pulled in he realized he had, but oh well). Reviews looked good and it wasn't a huge distance. The place was packed! We chose to sit outside on the island bar facing the street. We started with grapefruit mimosas (decliiiious!!) and each had one of the special breakfast bowls. I with "The Boot": Scrambled eggs with pepperocini, kalamata olives, green peppers, diced tomatoes, and feta cheese on a bed of fresh spinach (pictured first); and Scott with "The Tijuana": Eggs scrambled with vegetable chili, shredded pepperjack and guacamole, served over homefries (pictured second). I have to say I think I preferred his. I added jalapenos to mine, but they were pickled and just didn't have the kick I was looking for. Also, the feta doesn't melt and there was no "sauce", whereas his had the chili, guacamole and cheese. Either way, they were both delicious and we definitely polished them off! I'd go back again and would like to see what the lunch and dinner menus have to offer. It was a great day.

Our family has eaten here on a Sunday AM and Monday PM. The food is good and consistent, service is quick and efficient, even though they are really busy. I had an omelet that was very tasty on Sunday and a juicy, bison burger on Monday - the sweet potato fries were AWESOME and a nice treat since I do not eat regular fries!

Seriously, best little place to eat in south tampa. It's just a bike ride from us, and we love it. Sometimes I'll just grab a cup of coffee to go, or we will get milkshakes to go; all of the servers are super sweet, and it never takes a long time to get our food. Speaking of the food, just AMAZING. Literally, everything on the menu is awesome. They are very accommodating to my fiancee who is a vegetarian, and we sometimes eat there 3+ times a week.

Pretty delicious Waldorf bowl, they ran out of Salmon which was a bummer so make sure to ask before you order. The staff is very friendly as well as the buss boy's. I custom ordered a sandwich at no extra charge.

My boyfriend and I went here for a midday breakfast on a Friday- it was busy, but not overcrowded. John was our waiter- attentive and great with recommendations (as well as easy on the eyes). He got the bacon and eggs bowl (which was delicious, and perfect hangover food- eggs, bacon, and cheese served over tater tots). I went with the somewhat healthier egg whites, sausage, and onion served over spinach. I wasn't thrilled with the taste (there just wasn't much taste to be had with the ingredient list), but I put hot sauce on it to add flavor. Don't get me wrong- the bowl was healthy, which I was looking for, and very well put together, but I just had hoped that they'd add something for pizzazz. We also ordered a side of the crunch French toast, and it was great. Some of the best French toast I've ever had- so good, in fact, that I'm going to try and re-create it at home some rainy Sunday. Overall, the place was great, with excellent servers, a full and appetizing menu, and a really good atmosphere. I'd definitely return next time I'm in Tampa.

This place gets really busy on a Sunday morning with hungover South Tampa-ites, so the wait for a table can be long and the service can be verrrry slow, but the menu is creative. I had a small bowl of oatmeal with banana, blueberries, and honeyed pecans and the Lox Breakfast Bowl. I really enjoyed the oatmeal but didn't eat too much of the Lox bowl. It was a little too savory for my taste, and I think the eggs were a bit overcooked. I'd try this place again though and order the coconut crusted French toast.

This place is okay. I would go if someone else I was with really wanted to go but would not go on my own.

Nothing better than their "Monday Morning"...soooo good. Great menu and caters to the health conscious which I like. It's kind of Tampa's version of a diner. You have to wait a few minutes on weekend mornings as it's full of hungover people...but the wait is not too bad.

THE BEST POTATO CHIP ENCRUSTED TURKEY BURGER ON THE FACE OF THE EARTH! The staff is always great. I have never had anything that I didn't care for here. The patio is a nice place to sit, I prefer it over the inside! Now back to that turkey burger! It is lip smakin, finger lickin, slap your momma good!

Holy Bowly! This is eggsactly the kind of place you want to spend a time like Gasparilla (see what I did there?) If you could have a dream and in that dream you imagine you're on death row and you get one last meal. Well obviously you're going to pick steak, potatoes, and eggs. Well if that happened to you, then you're in luck! Because Daily Eats has just that. The bowls are tremendous whether you get the egg bowls in the morning or the mac n cheese bowls at night. Great combinations, great staff, great atmosphere. All around great place If you're in Tampa and you're near Daily Eats, do yourself a favour and stop in and try it.

Today I'm writing a review to say what an amazing place daily eats it is. Last month was my birthday and one of my friends asked where I wanted to go even though I had a bunch of free dinner options I specifically knew I wanted to go to daily eats no matter what the price because their food is just amazing. As soon as we got there we were greeted by a fairly new employee named KB and as soon as he saw my pin that said it was my birthday he was super nice and warm and friendly and made us feel so welcome and even though he didn't know us he treated us like family. My birthday experience got significantly better when we discovered that our server would be my favorite server, Lauren. I met her about 9 months ago on my first visit to the restaurant and she gave us amazing service and treated me like family as well as anybody else I've ever brought to this restaurant. The food is tasty and the food is so tasty and good. My personal favorite is the Gigante breakfast with banana pancakes and fresh fruit my friends regular favorite is the fiesta cheesy mac and we both love the blueberry mimosas. I write this today as we're getting ready to go in and enjoy another wonderful meal and experience at Daily Eats. If you want great food, fabulous service and just a really awesome experience at a great place that serves breakfast anytime go to Daily Eats!

I stopped here for lunch yesterday when I was in town for work. I was in the mood for a salad or breakfast food, so I thought it looked liked a good choice because it had good ratings, and was in a cute & also convenient area. It was definitely a modern diner and the menu looked pretty good. However, 3 things bummed me out: 1) They don't serve breakfast items for lunch. In my opinion, if you call yourself a diner, breakfast items should always be available. 2) For all their interesting "bowl" items, none of them were vegetarian. 3) The one salad that caught my attention was almost $11. I think that's a little steep for a lunch salad with no animals in it. That being said, I ended up ordering the veggie burger with tater tots, and it was definitely the best veggie burger AND tater tots I've ever had! If I lived in Tampa, I would probably go back just for that. :)

I was visiting from out of town, and listened to my fellow Yelpers on this one. I'm glad I did. I'm only giving it three stars because the food wasn't knock-your-socks-off amazing, but I really liked the ambiance. It's just a nice place to sit, enjoy your meal, and people watch or chat with a friend. I went there for both breakfast (regular pancakes and eggs) and lunch (burger with really good sweet potato fries drizzled with honey -- some of the best I've tasted, actually). The outdoor seating is a really narrow space, but there were a couple of tables available both times I was there. It's a great place to chill. Overall, I'd visit Daily Eats again if I'm back in town for a decent, casual dining experience.

Pace C.
Service really brought down the stars here. While every server was extremely nice, they fail to take your order in a timely fashion, check up on you, or hand you the bill. Any place where you have to flag down a server is not "great" service. Food is good. French Toast is amazing and makes you want to go back. Veggie Burger is also highly recommended and homemade. It's a cool little place to eat, casual and kind of reminds me of a city diner you would find in the village. I would still revisit, especially for the French Toast.

Located in Hyde Park, this was a great recommend by the hotel for breakfast. Had the Monday Morning and the wife had The Lox. These were called breakfast bowls where it was like a scramble in a bowl. Mine was very tasty especially with some Cholula. First time customers like us were also getting a free scoop of ice cream. Outside seating is dog friendly as we saw a few locals eating with their dogs.

Another nice visit, with Robyn as our hostess. She's awesome. My portable lunch mate enjoyed Mac and cheese and I had the mahi mahi sandwich, both were very nice. Why can't all places do it like these folks. Not perfect, no place is, but so good that it's worth the drive from Carrollwood to hang out. See you soon!

My husband and I have been searching throughout the Tampa Bay area looking for that perfect burger .. I do believe we have a winner ..It was juicy, full of flavor and it was cooked right the first time. Our server Stephanie was also a delight I've never had a manager welcome us like family. I will definitely be going back. Next time I'll try the Gourmet Mac N Cheese :-)

This hot spot is always crowded and for good reason. The food is delicious and the portions are generous. This is one of my favorite spots for breakfast. You might have to wait to get seated but once you eat here you'll realize why it's so popular.

Had to wait a bit on Memorial Day, but it was worth it! The cafe latte was out of this world. Brought some friends from out of town and everyone loved it. Even my two little girls ate the whole wheat pancakes! Everyone ordered a different version of the Eggs Benedict and everyone was happy. Make sure to get the bacon and cheese grits! So worth it!

Went for dinner on the advice of a friend. When I saw the following on top of the daily specials, I knew I had to try it. Holidilla - Flour tortilla filled with stuffing, gravy and turkey. Served quesadilla style with a side of cranberry sour cream. And it was excellent. Funky place, in a lightly funky part of town. Wasn't terribly busy so no wait issues, and the wait staff was friendly and quick, contrary to some of the other reviews. Overall, a positive experience made memorable by a nice surprise of a meal.

I can only comment on breakfast. After a lame dining experience at the Refinery previous night for all of us, I was hoping to make up for it with breakfast. We were extremely happy with our breakfast choices. The fact that there are multiple takes on Eggs Benedict made me very happy. The omelettes were outstanding as well. I highly recommend opting for the cheesy bacon grits!

So I'm new to the area and in dire need of a go to brunch place. Nothing worse than an early weekend morning with no place to go... I tried the Gigante and my brunch date had some sort of shredded salad concoction... The Gigante was what I had to order (no fancy egg white, guacamole, pan steamed breakfast for me) two eggs, two strips of bacon, two pieces of toast, home fries and a short stack of pancakes. The eggs were good and the bacon was tasty, although I think for the $9-10 I payed for it I'd like to have 3-4 strips of bacon. Pancakes were actually spectacular so all in all I was pretty content with the meal. The salad was good, nice combo of flavors although could have used a bit more focus... Will go again, bit not ready to call this my go to place yet.

After reading the reviews, I decided to stop in for a late breakfast. After finding them by searching for "breakfast" and seeing mentions of breakfast and brunch, I was disappointed to find that they had already stopped serving breakfast when I arrived around 11:00am. Fortunately, their 2-egg sandwich is served all day, so that's what I ordered. The sandwich was excellent, and I could see myself eating here again. I do agree with some of the other reviewers though. This is a small place, and it can get busy and crowded very fast. I'm not sure that I'd wait very long to eat here.

Yum! The food is fantastic. I dont remember what it is called, but I got the eggs on a bagel with lox on top. Huge portions, beyond friendly service, and they were more than accomodating when we came in with a high chair needing baby. They even gave us a free cookie, just because. Reasonable prices, great atmosphere, creative and tasty food... its no wonder this place is famous.

I LOVE Daily Eats! Since breakfast is my favorite thing in the world I have only ordered things off the breakfast menu, but the lunch food looks awesome too (one day I will try the lunch menu, but for now I just can't resist their b-fast food) .....ANYWAYS! I haven't had anything at DE that I didn't love. Some things I have had the pleasure of tasting and would recommend.... - Whole wheat pancakes: delicious. Better than your average pancake. Has a distinct flavor and texture exclusive to DE and the hint of cinnamon really makes them tasty. I get at least 1 EVERY time I eat here. - Captain crunch french toast: I'm a team pancake person so given the choice between Ftoast and Pcakes I will always go with the cakes HOWEVER, this was the best french toast I have ever had in my life. Its like a desert. Reminds me of funnel cake. Just try it. - Oatmeal: the oatmeal is steel cut oats and made with just water so its actually good for you unlike some places that taint the seemingly healthy choice with sugars, butter, and full fat dairy. I loved it. - Omelets: Again these are another fantastic choice. Can't go wrong here. - Scrambled egg whites: they don't skimp out on the portion, which can sometimes happen when ordering egg whites. - Wheat toast: Better than your average slice of bread like at some places. Quality stuff. the only things that could be improved are: - The coffee: nothing special - The b-fast bowls: Every time someone in our party orders one it is disappointing. The portion of food is small and they seem thrown together...but not in a good way, in a hurried routine way. Personally I think they are a bit of a rip off, which leads to... - The prices: sometimes I want to mix and match to try new things and that will cost a fortune here. Add ons can also add up quickly. Great food and atmosphere. The people that work there really care about preserving the stellar reputation. Overall solid place.

We were referred here from anyone and everyone in the area about good diner breakfasts. Every place I've ever been the first thing that happens when you sit down is that magical coffee that you didn't make at home. That coffee that starts everything- after 15 minutes of sitting at a booth right next to the exit from the kitchen and getting ready to leave, the coffee finally came. We watched 8 people behind the counter ignore us the entire time waiting for that wonderful morning coffee. Breakfast was OK, nothing to roll over and die for and the whole "bowl" feeding that's being done has to stop, or just put the contents between a couple of slices of bread and make a breakfast sandwich. Cereal goes in a bowl, soup goes in a bowl..etc. Service was eh. Not going back, it's a cute little place but the food isn't enough to bring me back.

Had breakfast here yesterday while visiting a friend...got there around 10am and there was already a 1/2 hour wait. But the busboy was nice enough to get us coffee and hot chocolate while we waited. They sat us at a small booth which was fine for our party of 3 and we perused the menu. The waiter was kind of nice in a rushed sort of way and he quickly got our drinks. The menu has a lot of interesting choices, my friend ordered a scrambled egg and french toast bowl over home fries with vanilla maple syrup drizzle - it looked really good. I got the large bowl of steel cut oatmeal with bananas, bluberries, pecans and vanilla honey - YUMMY. Remember folks - not to be a hater but - this is Florida. I didn't have a lot of expectations for the food based on past experience but this place was ok.

This was our 2nd & last time at Daily Eats. It was a Saturday around 3:30 pm. With only 5 other tables seated and eating, we waited over 40 minutes for our burgers while marveling at the fact that the place seemed to be staffed by 12 people who were doing very little. There seemed to be two managers, 1 bus boy, 3 kitchen workers and 6 waitresses. Only the eldest waitress seemed to be actually busy. Interestingly, there was a sign on the door accepting employment applications Tables, floors and booth seats were not clean. There was a close encounter with a very dirty mop being carried at table level by the bus boy. My booth seat covering was cracked and kept scratching my legs uncomfortably. Our food was extremely greasy and we noticed a strange thing: there was an aluminum bowl of sweet potato fries on top of the back counter, & every so often the cooks would drop more fries in and the waitstaff would reach in and help themselves, so we thought it was no big deal. Then our orders came out and I saw our waitress reach into said bowl with tongs to fill my plate w/ my order of fries and then she brought it to our table. The fries were notably soft, lukewarm and not hot & crisp out of the frier. We kept hoping that the Restaurant Impossible guy would barge in, retrain the staff, clean the place and help out, because good restaurants are few in this part of the state and this one certainly ain't one of them.

Lauren L.
I came in on my lunch break as I did not have much time or money to spare. I ordered the French Toast and the waitress asked "Capt'n Krunch style or plain?" To my surprise they have regular french toast with mixed in Capt'n Krunch cereal. This combination of awesomeness adds a crunchy texture to the already perfectly mixed french toast batter. I would recommend anyone with a sweet tooth try this. Service was quick, friendly, and affordable. Just pop up on the stool at the counter and watch the magic in the kitchen happen!

C K.
I liked the concept, and my co-diners really enjoyed, but I just ordered the wrong stuff, cause I couldn't finish anything other than my milkshake (worth a trip just for those, however). My bbq turkey sandwich was way too spicy and my salad was way too sad - limp lettuce drowning in over vinegary dressing. I would go back for a second try, however, because I thought the menu was promising.

Alex Z.
This place is exactly what I want a breakfast place to be: staffed by friendly people who pour you coffee really quickly; offering a vast array of not only the sweet and savory breakfast options, but also sweet/savory combinations (my favorite is the Dougie, which features both pancakes and eggs-n-sausage);is reasonably priced; has free wi-fi; and is in my neighborhood. It gets crowded here, but that's the price you pay.

Busy place with amazingly simple breakfast thats really really good. They have outdoor seating so you can bring your dog...yay! And they have heat lamps so seating out in the cold w/the dog isn't bad at all! The staff is soooo friendly. I also had the Monday Morning which is egg whites w/turkey sausage & onions on a layer of cheese and fresh spinach. I tried the blueberry pancakes...helllooooooo yummy cakes! Wished I had ordered my own. The blueberries were cooked inside this wheat of heavenly goodness. And the cafe con leche...buenisimo! And they only charge $1 to refill it instead of charging for a whole new drink! Everything is inexpensive. I may be hard to please but a place w/great service, tasty food, & $1 refills get my wooo hoo as good as it gets!

This little diner style joint is one of my favorite places to grab lunch! Their Natural Grilled Chicken sandwich is mouth watering! The chicken is seasoned perfectly and juicy every single time. Paired with melted provolone on a toasted cibatta roll served with a side of goat cheese marinara sauce for dipping, it is the perfect day time indulgence. I recommend the fried zucchini spears, too. The batter is light and slightly sweet.

There were so many things on the menu I wanted to try! I'll have to try next time we're down in the area. The variations on the Eggs benedict were tempting, but the Capt'n Crunch French Toast really caught my fancy. Although I couldn't taste that much of the cereal, the foundation [the bread- I'm guesing a brioche??] was awesome.

Deeeellliiigghhhtttffullllll! Not a Tampa native, so I have to admit that I couldn't be more pleased with this cute little diner. I'll break it down and make it real simple like so you can decide for yourself whether or not to go. BUT if you want to take the easy road stop reading this review and hustle your sweet lil self down there. + Healthy food! Woo, they have these shredder bowls with brown rice and all that California health freak goodness. + DELICIOUS FOOD! mMMmMm ( even though everyone I was wish was convined I had a stink face, the food was really good-- I was just tired and sans make-up, thank you very much) + It smells like breakfast ( yuuummmmm) + There is a line to get in-- always a good sign bc it means that people want to eat there and are willing to wait. + Cute booths + The owner schmoozes around, another good sign. + Outdoor seating + They serve chocolate milk..MmMmmm I had the two egg and cheese sandwhich-- they had just finished serving breakfast by the time I could get my over-served self over. Boo. So good... add a side of fruit and VOILA, one happy camper. - It's in Tampa... so there's a 2% chance that I'll ever return - Everyone goes there so there's a tad of a wait - They serve ice cream and many other goodies so it's hard to walk away without over indulging. Oh another + The coffee mugs have their name on it...cute.

I have eaten here a few times in the past couple months at the recommendation of a colleague. I am not exaggerating when I tell you that everything I have ordered off the menu has been absolutely outstanding. The crunchy french toast keeps me coming back. Last time I was there, I had the cali shredder bowl. The serving size was huge. I wasn't even in the mood for breakfast, but I had to order a side of french toast. I have sat outside the past couple times I have been there and have been served by Lori both times. She is extremely friendly, and has a great attitude. I will more than likely request to be seated in her section from now on, although I have never had bad service from anyone in this establishment. The food and the staff have made me a long time patron of this place. Oh love that they serve beer too! And the lady loves the mimosas (is there even any OJ in those things?!)

Great food!!!! We went for breakfast and I was choosing between the Gigante and the Healthy DL. Believe it or not, I chose the healthy and was EXTREMELY satisfied. The oatmeal was perfect, not too sweet, just perfect. My wife had the whole wheat blueberry pancakes and they were great as well. Highly recommend me for breakfast. Will have to try lunch and dinner.

Good reviews sent us to Daily Eats for a Sunday morning breakfast. I'm always willing to give a place a break as everyone has an off day. I hope this was theirs. Service was good and the outside seating under the awning was nice (especially with the mister fans keeping us cool). Unfortunately, the food took forever: about 40 minutes for an eggs benedict and a short stack. When the benedict came the hollandaise had been poured on top despite our request to have it on side. Pancakes They had a nice consistency. My wife had plain and enjoyed hers; I had mine with banana and peanut butter chips. It was good, but at .50 a topping i would have liked more than 3 small slices of banana and a tiny droplet of peanut butter. Benedict with Shaved NY Strip (don't recall name) One might expect a home cook to use some sort of pod for poaching eggs, but not at a restaurant. If you do want to use a container to poach, don't over grease it. The nice thing about poached eggs is the cleanness of the egg flavor. These were so oily that I couldn't even taste the egg. The were also so overcooked that you could cut through the yolk. Not ok, but I was not in the mood to send it back. The steak on top was ok, but completely underseasoned and also greasy beyond belief. Hollandaise was good, warm and seemingly very fresh. Grits We ordered them with bacon and cheese. Easily the best thing on the table. Nicely done. Breakfast left both my wife and I feeling gross; chill out with the oil guys.

my review stays the same, just want to point out that the awesome veggie burger is not available on the weekend brunch menu. i went there the other weekend craving it bad and found out they didn't have it. bummer cause it's good. i ended up with a bowl of chili and a plate of fries. definitely a worthy substitute, but don't want anyone to be led astray. also, we went on a beautiful, spring tampa morning and sat outside. copious outdoor seating is another plus for this place.

Take this eatery for exactly what it is: small, and therefore expect a wait during busy hours, but those who love a creative but simple menu will really appreciate Daily Eats for just that: daily eats. Feel at home, have a scoop of French Toast ice cream after a somewhat educated version of the Gyro, and then come back to this tiny place for something completely different, like Baja Mac and Cheese with sweet potato fries and a creamy chai. Just cool. :)

The Mexican omelet was awesome! A friend and I shared it with the potatoes and left happy. Seating was right away and loved that we could sit outside. Mimosas were a bit pricey for brunch but the blueberry was different and good.

The Only Place to Have the Brunch of Shame. Where good looking patrons and staff meet over healthy dishes. Go just before 11:30am so you can order full breakfast, and then put in a sweet potato fries order at 11:30am. Sit at the bar or wait in line. Newspaper stand available.

I only had the sundaes here and I'll be coming back for more! the dutch chocolate with vanilla bean was to die for. also the price is right, a little over $3 for 2 large scoops toppings. seating is a little tight but there are fans outside that'll help keep you cool. waitstaff was attentive and polite.

Christine B.
This place was okay, nothing amazing though. I had the coconut crusted french toast based on a recommendation here on Yelp. It was good, but again, nothing particularly spectacular. I gave this place three stars since nothing really wowed me, but I almost gave it two based purely on the appalling poached eggs on their eggs benedict. I'm an eggs benedict fan, I usually order it, but I'm glad I went with the french toast this time. The menu has 5 or 6 different types of eggs benedict so you'd think they'd be pretty good--not so. Two others in my party ordered different versions and both received the worst poached eggs I've ever seen in a restaurant. They looked like they had been cooked in molds (red flag number one) and when cut into they were completely overcooked! No runny yolk at all--on either plate of eggs benedict. One of the eggs benedicts that we ordered was a chicken and mushroom version that was quite good if you completely ignored the overcooked eggs. The other version was the florentine, which really needed the runny egg yolk to complete the flavor. But seriously, it's not that hard to poach an egg properly once you've got the hang of it--any restaurant chef should be capable of it and if your chefs can't poach eggs well, then you probably shouldn't even offer eggs benedict on your menu. Just a thought.

Pretty decent diner food from the Ciccio and Tony's peeps. Good fish sandwiches, good BLT's, good soup, really tasty fries and average service. Unfortunately the place is super loud, which would be alright if it weren't so cramped. There are better greasy spoon's out there.

Good food, but way too much. I've never finished one of their breakfasts.

Very average in my opinion. Food is decent, but the service can be very slow. Location is great, but that creates long lines of hungover people on weekend mornings. Many other choices for breakfast in the area without the wait. I've never eaten there any other time of day besides for breakfast so I wouldn't know how their other food stacks up.

Nice location, but their food really is not up to par. They need to work on their ingredients or something. Your better off going next door to The Lime

I've been to Daily Eats several times but haven't in back awhile... I like the open, diner like feeling of the place and the 'bowls' are good but the staff can be aloof and the food seems slapped together. A little tweaking and it would be a better experience-- better service, deep clean the floors under the booths and put a little more care into making the food.

My favorite breakfast place in Tampa. Casual diner atmosphere with really good food. Their French Toast is thick cut and outstanding. Eggs Benedict is available in multiple variations and is simply awesome. So many interesting menu items to choose from, it never gets old.

The food is still as good as usual, but the service is spotty at best these days. Had to track down wait staff to give our order. Got food and one of us had missing parts to his breakfast. I love coming here, but no that it's best to come during the week for breakfast.

Was looking for a good brunch spot and it this fits the bill. Try the coconut crusted French toast. We had the Tijuana bowl overflowing with eggs home fries and guauc. Wait time was misquoted but I think one of the servers were trying to help and underestimated the time. Cute hostess made it easier to bear. I hadn't drank the night before but it was obvious there were lots of other trying to fix a hangover with a mimosa and it seemed to have worked

It's an upscale breakfast joint with decent food. With that said, it's not worth an hour's wait.

Inventive menu and fresh tasting ingredients. That's the best I can say. Anytime you'd be likely to want to eat there, it is likely to be packed. usually that's a good sign but in this tiny diner it is not. They are really not set up or capable of handling the large crowds that come in there. It's far too crowded and noisy, and wait staff is too busy to be as attentive as is needed. My husband ordered the Tijuana bowl and as it is full of spiciness his drinking glass should have been a priority, but it stayed empty a long time, more than once. I couldn't fault the waitress too much, she was obviously very busy, but they obviously need more waitstaff at that restaurant. The food didn't take too long and it tasted pretty good. However I was SHOCKED at some of the prices I saw when our check came. $4.50 for two soda's (especially bothersome because our glass was empty and stayed that way so often.) $1.00 dollar extra for a TINY cup of hollandaise (usually when you order something like that the waitress would tell you there is a dollar upcharge but I didn't find out until our check came). There were a few more extra charges on our bill that didn't please me at all. Not to mention 8.50 for an omelette was pushing it a little in the first place. The taste of the food gets an A+ but the atmosphere, service, and prices get a D at best.

Just an overall awesome experiance. The interior takes you back a few decades. The staff is beyond friendly. Food is awesome. Everything is healthy which is rare to find. Try any of their Sheredder Bowls for lunch. Becareful during lunch time because it gets pretty bonkers in there. People love it that much. It is easy to pass by on the outside but stop by, you won't be dissapointed.

Love this place! I dream of the Tater hater when I have had one too many! I unfortunately moved a little farther away so its only a treat when I get to eat here but I tell everyone about it! I crush a little on one of the cooks too so that helps LOL

I had the coconut covered french toast, with the coconut honey cream cheese. It was pretty awesome. They seemed busy but the service was prompt, and I didn't see any ridiculous line waiting like I would a t breakfast spots in Chicago... Food was plated well, and the portions were right on. The only thing I didn't like was the turkey sausage was tiny, but its only a minor err. Everything was not too terribly expensive either.My girlfriend ordered the Tijuana Breakfast Bowl, and said it was pretty awesome too. Outside seating was comfortable. Definitely recommended for breakfast.

Bizz M.
Good spot. We were seated quickly and I had an OJ in my hand in a minute. I had the coconut french toast. Excellent. The fried pickles were also pretty perfect. Its in nice area of Tampa so it was decent people watching as well. We were in and out so there isn't to much i can say but i would visit it again.

Ashley A.
Good breakfast. Unfortunately their espresso machine was broken when we stopped here, but they waitress offered to make me an iced coffee which wasn't bad. The coconut french toast was yummy. I got an omelet that was great, it was oozing with cheese and and totally what I needed after a long night.

A favorite place for a quick lunch or dinner. The shredder bowls are amazing, although I found the buffalo chicken a bit too spicy. The Working Cow ice cream is a guilty pleasure after a great meal.

Let me start by saying I love diners! I went here on a Saturday afternoon hoping to get a nice breakfast. They have 2 different menus. One said breakfast available after 4 p.m., but the waiter said I couldn't get breakfast after 3 p.m. The place is small, and there were no tables available so we sat at the bar. I went to wash my hands the was the no soap! (The hostess just left the restroom right before I went in). I ordered the california rice bowl and my bf order a burger. Since we sat at the bar, I could see everything going on in the kitchen. My food was ready at least 5-8 minutes before his and I saw it just sitting there in the window. From the bar, I could also see that the french fries sit in a bowl and aren't fresh. The waiters just grab a handful and through it on your plate. They did use tongs. My food was bland and was room temp, which made it worse. There were flies buzzing around which was annoying. I ended up not eating my meal and another waiter heard us talking and took it. She was very nice and took it off the bill without me asking (even offered ice cream), but our original waiter sat a few seats down counting his money. Another set of waiters were on the other side of us talking about some lady's miscarriage and her "uterus." Seriously? I'm eating (or in my case not eating here!) We were never offered refills. My boyfriend said he liked his meal, but his burger was pink in the middle. He spent $14 on a burger and fries that I thought would have been just as good as going to Steak N Shake. NOT RETURNING!!!

Love their creative menu as well as the fact that we can usually get some vegan and tasty and relatively nutritious. Been here many times over the years, and it continues to be a family favorite. Downside? I agree service can be spotty.

And the S. Howard restaurant marathon continues. I've decided that S. Howard must be Tampa's restaurant mecca. My coworkers ran into my office the other day and said "Michael, we have a new place for you to Yelp!" As I do enjoy a meal that involves a yelp to follow, I was more than happy to try it with them the next day. Daily Eats is a cute little diner, with a healthier flare and a cleaner interior. The girls made sure to point out that the bar seats have a purse hook at each seat. The menu is an interesting mix of burgers and sandwiches with some unconventional toppings. You could literally come here for lunch or dinner for a week and still try something new. They have a ridiculous amount of toppings to choose from, too (goat cheese being one of my favorites). Among the beaucoup of unique sandwiches, there is an interesting mix of salads called "Salad Shredder Bowls". They have a crazy mix of lettuce, rice, and proteins. My friend had one and said it was delicious. Another friend ordered the fried zucchini which, as a zucchini hater...even I enjoyed them. One area where they might need a touch more improvement is in the speed of service. Speed is something that is a little more situational...our group is always in a hurry, so we might have a skewed view as to what is slow. Otherwise, our waitress was as sweet as can be. Now, we went here for dinner and will probably go back for lunch. Their breakfast, however, looks crazy good and I would say "Check it out, yo" for brunch. Tampa...my dear...your restaurants are impressing me, and I haven't a clue how to react! Brava...Brava.

Okay, so I'm in Tampa at the moment and need to comment on this AWSOME eatery! I went here for Sunday Brunch and it ROCKED my world! I started with a nice cup of joe. Nothing to brag about, but not bad, either. I was kind of a coffee snob, pre-tea drinking, so it's possible my taste buds were off about the coffee... Anyway, I ordered an egg omelette bowl. It had egg whites, turkey sausage, provolone cheese and was served on a warm bed of spinach in a big ol' bowl! It really was Delish, so I need to share! :) I also split a coconut crusted french toast with coconut honey cream cheese. Yeah, you read that right...yummy coconuts!!! It was pretty crazy...I don't normally eat frech toast, but HELLOOOO, this was AMAZING!!! People don't seem to Yelp much in Tampa, but I am really glad that someone already reviewed this place. Hooray for their breakfast!!!

Grant M.
Good greasy spoon food, decent prices, horrible service. I've eaten here maybe a dozen time in the last six months and each time I say "Never Again" because the service is so lousy. I know it's a small place, but there's no reason to wait 10 minutes every time just to be seated. They're not THAT busy. If the service was just a touch better I'd probably never even notice it was bad simply because the food is good. Also, the place keeps goofy hours.

We visited Tampa and the hotel recommended this place to us on our first night. Thursday was less busy then the rest of the days, but the service was still amazing and the food was just as good. We liked it so much that we stopped by again on Friday. On this day, the hostess Kate was pretty rude to us, but after speaking to management, they expressed that the hostess was new and needed to work on her customer service skills. Weekend mornings are super busy, so plan to come extra early or be prepared to wait over an hour.

Best bowls in town! Service is super fast. My favorite bowls are the Greek bowl and the Buffalo. Yum!

Addison P.
Regular here with my husband most Saturday mornings. It's amazing food in a great area. We're usually ones to go for the Mexican omelette (the vegetarian chili is amazing!) and it's become a joke with our regular servers that we're not allowed to order Mexicans. The last time I was in, I ran into my boss and sent her and her husband a plate of Cap'n Crunch French Toast A La Mode. She raved about it. Definitely will continue to make the Saturday breakfast pilgrimage.

I just had a really yummy breakfast bowl with lox and scallion cream cheese! Followed by the captain crunch French toast, which does not need any syrup at all, it was crunchy and sweet on the outside and the bread was gooey on the inside. Lauren, my server, was awesome and recommended the grapefruit mimosa, which had the perfect amount of sweetness!

Paul F.
Extensive menu appealing to all in our party. The food was excellent, and the service was one of a kind, Kodie was the best she made us feel a part of the family! We have had difficulty finding a restaurant in the Howard, Hyde Park area that are "truly" family friendly ... This is the place - 5 Stars!!!

Zubin K.
Came here for the first time. We were seated quickly and I ordered the half sized Thai Peanut Shredder Bowl. While the food tasted pretty good, it wasn't warm and I did not taste too much of the peanut sauce. Also, there wasn't as much rice as you would typically expect from a bowl. My friend ordered the Greek bowl and hers tasted better. We did order the Daily Fries which were excellent in taste, crispness and quality. Overall, a pretty good experience but could be even better.

While Tampa has a strong Deli scene, the diner offerings are pretty lackluster. Daily Eats is a standout exception. This is a neighborhood favorite, always crowded, serving diner faves, and some more modern stuff too. Burgers are great but too salty. Friendly service.

Kelly S.
One word, AMAZING! My family and I will definitely be back! The service was great, and the food was delicious! Not at all what we expected in a good way. We ordered the Capt Crunch French toast as an appetizer and it was a huge hit! No butter or syrup needed.

CJ V.
The place has a nice kitsch appeal. Can get a little loud, and if children aren't your scene beware cause there will probably be at least one family with a screaming child. So if you're a family you'll enjoy the charm. A little inconsistent with the food. Service is where its weakest. Went in for a late lunch and it wasn't crowded. Order drinks that took over 15 minutes to get and the meal came out with the appetizer. Milk shake was very good. Get servers that are aware of what's going on and a little more consistency with the food and you'll get more stars. Also the waitress dress as like young girls working a car wash fund raiser for their school.

Let me start out by saying I love this place and the food is amazing, the servers are fantastic... Typically I would've given this restaurant 5 stars hands down. After witnessing what I witnessed today while eating breakfast there by myself, I simple can not do that. I dined at the bar today with Lauren (waitress). She had a great personality and was extremely attentive. Things became a little chaotic when putting out food for I believe I heard them say table 11. Anyway the owner Raymond began expediting. I ordered a breakfast bowl as I do regularly with a grilled English muffin. I got the bowl first... It was delivered by another server who was sweet. Dark hair, braid and a black headband. She told me the English muffin would be right out... Minutes later Raymond stood in the window asking for someone to drop this, even though I was literally within maybe 4 steps of him. I received my English muffin ungrilled... I asked my sever if they knew what a grilled English muffin was and she said Raymond said it was too busy to grill it... Umm ok, that weird and extremely unprofessional given that I can see on the computer screen that there are only 6 tickets up... What bothered me was the fact that maybe 10-15 minutes prior to receiving my food my waitress Lauren was completely berated by this man Raymond in front of guest about putting her belonging on the side of the bar (which mind you was her station) he told her in front of guests to watch her attitude and do it. I was more than proud that she stuck up for herself... Because I probably would've punch him in his face and walked out. It was appalling. The owners were in a business meeting behind me... Word to the wise if you want to continue running successful business in Tampa get rid of Raymond, he has NO business working in restaurant. He's disrespectful, unprofessional, and so demoralizing of the upbeat character of that building it's insane. If you can't approach your boss in fear of being verbally assaulted, and belittled would you want someone like that working for you, let alone running your establishment!?! He needs to be 86ed!

I've now been here twice for breakfast...and I've left full and satisfied both times! Chose this place last week because I was celebrating something with a friend- and it's one of the only places you can get breakfast and alcohol :) He enjoyed his fair share (and then some) of mimosas. The place is kind of tiny- which is a little challenging while navigating a stroller/car seat combo. But, they were accommodating and let me choose whichever table would be easiest for me and the cumbersome car seat to get into. Both times I've eaten here, I've had the Bushkie Bowl which has egg whites, spinach, broccoli, bell peppers, red onion, and jack cheese. Don't let the egg whites fool you into thinking it's healthy and not delicious. Haha. But it makes me feel better about eating it. I enjoyed the grits (add cheese) but my friend didn't care for them. I think I'll opt for the potatoes as a side next time. Good diner atmosphere. But, on a weekend, expect to wait a while. :)

Michelle K.
Best brunch place in Tampa. All the plates are around $7-12 and relatively HEALTHY. Yeah HEALTHY brunch place that's not overpriced?! I am sold. Wait is long on weekends but I think it's worth it. Service was terrific and food was awesome. Food is on little saltier side though. Parking is all street.

Mariana W.
Was just served the most flavorless omelet I have ever tried. Spinach and goat cheese. Eggs were bland, avocado was hard ( not quite ready) and there was honestly a teaspoon of goat cheese inside omelet. Toast was good. The steak and egg bowl was a little better though steak appeared to be grisly minute steak as opposed to shaved beef. Provolone cheese helped. Made both the server and the hostess aware i did not care for omelet -I did eat the fruit and toast, however, so I guess that's why I was charged the full price.

Ate here while on vactaion, THREE times! The best diner in SOHO! Our server Laura B made great suggestions, and even offered us dessert after breakfast! I only had breakfast here; they have great healthy options as well as the famous Capt. Crunch French Toast, (which is AMAZING). I highly suggest you eat here, several times!
(5)
Mark H.
Pretty good eats - not oversized portion. It's a bit annoying that they will not seat parties of less than three in their 4-man booths. Instead, they squeeze you in shoulder to shoulder at 1.5 man tables or let you just walk out. Those 4-man booths sat empty the entire time we were there, but we saw as many as 3 couples walk out because they didn't want to wait for more compact seating. Food gets an B+, service gets a B+, use of available seating gets a D. If there are only two of you and you want a larger booth instead of waiting, remember to bring your invisible friend.

K.L. R.
If I could give less stars I would. Over an hour wait to be seated (after they told us 20-30 min). Over 45 minutes to get simple orders of 4 breakfast foods. I understand places get busy at this time, but to wait 45 minutes for 2 breakfast bowls, 1 plate of eggs and hashbrowns and 1 order of French toast should NEVER take that long. Also too, it's frustrating when you see a group of three people and a group of 2 people who were seated near us but seated well after us be halfway through their meals before we even get our food. I don't know if it was the kitchen's fault or if the waitress forgot to actually put the order in but it's unacceptable. To top it off my breakfast bowl was completely cold and I sent mine back. She did offer to make it again but at this point I was unwilling to wait another extended period of time. Also, would have been nice to have a manager come and speak to our party to apologize when they obviously knew we were not happy by our frequent visits inside to check on our meals and get our own refills. I don't think I will be back. There are way too many places to eat in South Tampa and spend my money.

Daily Eats is definitely one of my go to places when I want a good breakfast. Since I am a health nut, I like that they have a lot of healthy options, which is why I like to go there. Whenever I go I get an egg white omelet with a side of oatmeal. I have never tried their granola/loaded oatmeal but it looks really good. When I am not watching my waistline so much I will indulge and order the oh so good captain crunch french toast. They have these breakfast bowls that my friends really like, but I am one of those people that try not mix their foods, and I eat one food item on my plate at a time ( I can be weird like that I guess) so the bowls never seem appetizing to me but they look interesting. I haven't tried their lunch, but I did try some of their sweet potato fries when my friend ordered a burger and they were REALLY good ( I love sweet potatoes). Def go by there for breakfast. Please note it's dog friendly too, which can be a good or bad thing if you want to eat outside.

Packed to the gills on Sunday morning as others mentioned. A sign of something good? Eh. Nothing special about the food. Standard breakfast fare along with a few of their own creations and their way of serving the meals. Food was good. However, $40 for three little small meals and two coffees is a bit much. Bottom line OVERPRICED and too cramped to enjoy a meal.
(3)
Harry C.
Stopped by on Sunday morning for breakfast. There was a line, but we were sat in less than 10 minutes. Coffee was decent, but at 830 just about any caffeine delivery system will do. The buttermilk/wheat pancakes were more than sufficient, they were amazing. Try the coconut. Pro tip get the short stack. The other meal was two eggs with grits and bacon. Grits and bacon up, eggs were over cooked, down. Would recommend to anyone for breakfast and I'm looking forward to stopping by for lunch and dinner.

Ericka J.
I heard great things about this place by several different people so I thought I would try it out. I went on a Saturday morning, it was busy but the service was still great. Our waiter was Adam and he was great very funny and personable. I got their breakfast French toast bowl and it was to die for. This place speaks for it's self. I would definitely give this place a try if you want a good place to eat in south Tampa and don't want to go to a chain restaurant. The prices are reasonable as well.

This is absolutely my favorite place to eat. My favorites are the pancakes with pecans, caramel, and bananas and the turkey hash is amazing! I also enjoy their bowls, particularly the Thai chicken shredder bowl and the buffalo chicken bowl. They are generally a pretty solid place to eat. I personally think the captain crunch French toast is a little too sweet for my taste, but most people tend to enjoy it.

Have tried it....and tried it....and tried it. The place is always packed with folks? Everyone seems happy... The shredded up lettuce in their various "bowl" offerings is reminiscent of the lettuce on a Big Mac...Yuk!

This place is a solid place for American food. I wanted a burger, and I had been recommended Daily Eats by a friend in the past, so we came here for dinner. It was exactly as I expected, maybe a little better. Staff is friendly. The tables are on the small side if you don't get a booth, and the seats aren't very comfortable. The atmosphere is very diner-ish. We started with the Tater Hater -- similar to nachos with with tater tots instead of tortilla chips. Then I had the black and blue burger with the sweet potato fries, and my husband had a cheeseburger with a Caesar salad on the side. He also had a strawberry milkshake and a sundae for dessert (yes, he's a glutton). Everything was very good. The taters stayed crispy despite all the cheese sauce. I ordinarily don't like sweet potato fries that are served with maple syrup (they usually end up cloyingly sweet), but I found theirs to be the right amount of sweet. This place would be great if I had a hangover that needed sopping up. It's certainly a place where it's easy to get grease bombed. I'll have to try something healthier next time.

Mitchell L.
This was by far the best breakfast we had on our visit to the area. A busy place with a wide variety of patrons. It's so popular that the wait was long and originally I got agitated but the food made up for it. We will definitely come back next time we're in town.

Jason H.
It's solid. For the life of me I can never remember the name of what I get when I come here, but the gf always gets the famous french toast. You get a lot for the price here, but overall it's just not enough for me to push it to five stars. I like a lot of places in South Tampa (a lot of them, including DE, under the Ciccio's group) and this is definitely in the rotation...especially since, like Brett, gf loves it.

You know how hunger is the best seasoning? I was starving when we first got here. We drove around looking for parking for Gasparilla and after half an hour ended up back where we started and decided to pay an arm and a leg for parking. Therefore, our brunch got pushed back half an hour and having not eaten anything all day, those 30 minutes meant a lot. I got the lox breakfast bowl and my fiance got the captain crunch pancakes. When I first started eating the breakfast bowl I thought wow this is amazing! Halfway through I regained my senses and began to really asses what I was eating. It was a good portion and it is a great combination of flavors. However, overall it was too salty. Whether it was too much smoked salmon (is that even possible?) or too many capers, there just was not enough scrambled eggs and home fries to balance it out. I'm actually surprised that this bowl had too much filling (tomatoes, capers, etc.) than scrambled eggs. Overall it was still great, but could have been slightly better. I still love the idea of breakfast bowls and will be back to try a different one. Also, this kept me satisfied and filled until dinner. My fiance liked, but didn't love his captain crunch pancakes. I blame the fact that he is against almost all things healthy and did not realize the pancakes were whole wheat. I tried it and it was very sweet. He ended up leaving a pancake and a half on his plate. However, I think most people would enjoy these pancakes as long as they do not have a vendetta against whole wheat. The atmosphere is great. It has a very diner like feeling and a good number of seats outside. I can see myself going back for brunch. I love the menu and I had a hard time deciding what to get.

Nick Z.
Daily eats is great for both dinner and breakfast. Today I got the carnivore omelette and turkey hash and the GF got a scrambled egg and bacon bowl. We both loved it. I was recently diagnosed with Celiac Disease so it was great that their main menu has GF logos next to each Gluten free item. Our server was good and was great breakfast.

We took our parents here for a quick lunch and it was a sweet little lunch spot. They said the coffee was actually the best they'd had in a while and thought it might have been the location of the Old Meeting House ice cream shoppe? Nothing looked dated and maybe if it did it was overlooked bc the whole feel of the place fit in with the fast paced feel of a quick serve diner. We all got the half size bowls which everyone loved the portion size except for me. I love a bowl of food and this seemed really small. Spend the extra $2 and get the full size portion, the food we got was too good to eat too little:) Each bowl had brown rice base with lettuce and a different style topping. -Greek Chicken Bowl- my mother in law got this and she loved it. She wouldn't stop talking about how delicious it was. Lots of chicken, olives, onions, feta. It looked really great. -Buffalo Chicken Bowl- my husband loved this, fried chicken bites covered in buffalo sauce and blue cheese. -Thai Peanut Bowl- I ordered this without the sauce and it came with it on which usually ticks me off but I was so glad I didn't skimp on whatever delicious magic that came in that bowl. Raw broccoli, other various veggies, rice and lettuce (I got mine without meat but it comes with a protein). Granted it did not fill me up but it was so good. A little spicy in a good way.

Samantha G.
The food here is always delicious. The brunch is absolutely amazing, the Californian omelette and the whole wheat butter milk pancakes are a must. The $5 burger and $2 mimosa special keeps people coming here during less busy times. Both are always a good choice. The only reason I am not not giving it full stars is the service. Although the food is amazing, the service could use some improving.

Noel T.
Yup! Another homerun for Ciccio Restaurant Group. The food and service was great and much better than Datz. We ordered the Tijuana breakfast bowl and the greek omelet and have no complaints. We even received a complementary cookie for being a first timer! Once again, Ciccio Restaurant Group is winning me over...

This place has a super chill atmosphere and the food doesn't disappoint. I enjoyed the mimosa (of the three available flavors, I had the orange) and my strawberry salad was deliciously fresh. The people around me had burgers and omelets; all looked incredible. The staff were very friendly - I was greeted immediately by both the hostess and server. I will definitely be back.

First off, you people (yes, I mean you people) need to ask for Doug when you have a seat in this fine establishment. The dude has a menu item and manages in the evening. Exceptional service, great table-side manner and quick with the refill on most any liquid. The outstanding service not withstanding, the food is excellent. I took a chance and made a Sunday morning reservation this last weekend with me girl - a first time visit for each of us. She landed the CA Omelet and I have a weakness for Eggs Benedict. We were not disappointed and even caved into Doug's recommendation on the Captain Crunch French Toast. The cuisine was prepared correctly and swiftly, served in sequence with a smile and simply had a very efficient and professional vibe - while keeping the flow of patrons at a steady pace. The price is approachable, the atmosphere social and the cuisine is solid. Give it a go!

We live on the east coast of Florida and recently spent a weekend in Tampa. I found this little eatery via YELP! when I searched for breakfast spots near the places we would be visiting and the hotel we were staying at. We had a few choices to pick from, so I showed my husband the menus of all the places and he decided upon Daily Eats! We came early (8:30) on a Saturday and were seated promptly by the friendly hostess. As time went on the place got a little more busy but not bad for a weekend. We examined the menu for a long time. It is not huge but there are plenty of interesting choices! Take time to look at he menu. There might be a hidden gem that you missed the first time through. Our food came quick enough and it was delicious! I had 2 scrambled eggs with cheesey bacon grits and an english muffin. The grits were amazing! Very cheesey and the bacon isn't overwhelming. My husband had french toast and was worried about having to use fake maple syrup. He ended up getting caramel pecan french toast, so he didn't need syrup. However, they do have REAL maple syrup for a small upcharge. We will not hesitate coming back to this location the next time we're in Tampa. Great tasting food for very reasonable prices. We were only able to try breafast, we would love to return later in the day to sample lunch/dinner and the shake menu.

Had several great experiences at Daily Eats the first one was at breakfast time. We did arrive a little towards brunch time about 11am. We waited outside in a covered, misting fan waiting area for about 10min. We were seated in a booth by the restrooms and I noticed the wall decor as soon as we sat down. They have some great deals on mimosas so I ordered several flavor which were all delicious. I ended up ordering the buttermilk pancakes and they were quite amazing and large. The server was really nice and attentive. Overall I had a great experience and will definitely be returning.

I have been going to my beloved Daily Eats for years now. I don't get to visit often but it's been my number one choice in SoHo for a while now and with good reason. I love the diner feel of this place and the food, OMG, the food!! They are very inventive and delicious. Right about this time of year, they have my favorite quesadilla with turkey, stuffing, Jack cheese and a little cranberry sauce that, as Liz Lemon would say, is amazeballs! I think they call it the Holi-Dilla. I also love their shredder bowls and my favorite is the Daily Eats Waldorf bowl with brown rice, tender roast chicken, celery, blue cheese, candied pecans, strawberries, a strawberry vinaigrette and chantilly dressing. It's to die for! I've also had their potato chip-crusted turkey burger and I humbly declare it the best turkey burger I've ever eaten. Any time of day is good to visit. They have healthy, delicious menu items too but if you have room to splurge, I highly recommend getting one of their whoopie pies for dessert. So good, I darn near wept. This place gets packed because it's so popular, but I've never had to wait too long. They have ample parking across the street too. The service has always been great with friendly, attentive servers. And most of the menu items are under ten bucks and some of the best local food around. Heck, I would rather go there than Berns that is just up the street and that is the truth. I salute you, D.E.!

Though the wait was about 25 minutes, it was Saturday so I guess that is no surprise. The food was great (pancakes were awesome!) and so was the service - our server was very accommodating and the manager even came over to welcome us since it was our first time there. He gave us a super yummy cookie As a Thank you for coming, which we enjoyed on the plane ride home. We plan to go back to the gulf beaches area soon and will definitely come back to DE!!

I was starving and it was 10:30 am on a Sunday. I knew we were going to get to Daily Eats as some churches were getting out of service, which meant there would be a wait, but I was willing to wait. We had about a 25 minute wait for a table but it was refreshing to stand outside under the misting sprinkler. (Just the perfect amount of mist! Enough to cool off but not get soaked! Kudos for that idea!) When we were seated we noticed the 'diner' music ever so faintly in the background. Nice to relax to! I had read about the Coconut French Toast, and I LOVE french toast so I thought it was only appropriate that I give it a try. It was delish! Perfectly cooked and just the right amount of sweet! I barely even used the maple syrup because it was so good even without it! I also ordered a side of oatmeal. It was pretty bland, and then I figured out that I should have ordered it with fruit in it. Lesson for next time! My husband had the Traditional Eggs Benedict. It was a little salty because of the ham, but other than that, it too was very tasty! He also had a side of potatoes. They had a wonderful seasoning on them, but could have been a tad bit warmer. We were a little disappointed in our drinks. I ordered 'fresh squeezed' orange juice and it was over $3 for a regular sized cup. That is way too expensive considering I can get a gallon of OJ at the store for $5. My husband ordered an iced coffee. The portion size for this was very large and possibly worth the $3 we paid for it. So, food prices were ok, but drink prices, not so much. Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely come back to try out one of the breakfast bowls. **update** We brought some friends back for dinner and we all had a different shredder bowl. I think the favorite of the bowls was the New York Blue. It had tons of flavor! We also ordered sweet potato fries and pickles for appetizers. Both were delish, but I would highly recommend the fries. They could even be for dessert!

Loved it! First stop on our Tampa visit. It was a late Thursday morning, so not too busy. I ordered the "Monday Morning" which was egg whites, onions, turkey sausage, cheese on spinach. It was nice being able to order something healthy without having to ask for substitutions. It had a diner atmosphere with outdoor seating available. But still not much overall seating, so I can imagine the wait at a busy time on weekends. Family friendly, tons of healthy options and yummy food. I will be back when in Tampa!

Absolutely delicious! Try the Cap'n Crunch French toast if you want a truly unique breakfast. The staff on hand were widely friendly and gorgeous.

I've been here many many times and I always bring visitors here! I've had omelets, French toast, eggs, bowls, chicken sandwiches, Mac and cheese, mimosas, coffee, and so much more. I love this place and I have never been disappointed! Expect a pretty long wait during peak breakfast or lunch times. I know it's not much to look at, but it's worth the wait! They also have breakfast all day, which is a HUGE plus! Add cheese to the grits and they are amazing! This is one of the two places I like grits. The loaded tots and the Memphis chicken sandwich with remoulade sauce are amazing!

I really love breakfast food so it's rare that I order lunch items when I go to brunch. The description of the Greek shredded salad bowl caught my eye and once the waiter talked it up, I had to get it. I made a good choice because the salad bowl was awesome - good sized portion with tons of flavorful ingredients on top of rice. I went with the shredded turkey, which I recommend because it's not processed deli meat but rather actual turkey breast. You know how some places skimp on the protein part of the salad? DailyEats does not commit this cardinal sin. I left feeling very full, but not painfully so. I do want to note that my friend got the potato chip encrusted turkey burger, of which I stole a bite. Usually, I find turkey burgers too dry for my liking, but this one was delicious and not dry at all.
Awesome experience tonight based on the exceptional service of our waitress Samantha and manager Laura. My wife and I darted in with our two boys 3.5 and 1.5 years of age who were ravenous and tired. Samantha clearly had great "E.Q." As she expertly scooped us up in a busy restaurant and got us to a table and didn't wait to get food/drink orders placed in a flash. While Samantha rocked that out behind the counter and hustled the beer, sangria, and apps to the table...with the 2x boys milk that is...Laura came over and was genuinely accommodating and making sure we had everything we needed. Was easy to see how the place was jamming efficiently with Samantha able to keep our chow and night expeditiously running and moving along by the skillful maneuvers of Laura leading the rest of the staff's charge and facilitating the well-oiled machine. We've been away from Daily Eats for a couple of months but we'll be back a lot more regularly now thnx to the great team of Laura and Samantha. Keep up the awesome work. Semper Fi, Dave

Just had brunch here while in town with my parents. Gotta say I'm pretty much in love with the place. It has an old time diner feel but with a modern vibe. Their entire menu looks fantastic and had I been more adventurous I would have gone for one of their bowls, a mix of eggs and savory ingredients in a large bowl or one of their Benedicts (apparently the Gobbler is a house favorite). You really can't go wrong on their menu. I ended up making a safe choice and went with a California omelette. It was a great mix of bacon, turkey and eggs stuffed with melted Swiss cheese and topped with some pretty delicious guac. I might be biased because I'm just obsessed with guac. Their Bloody Mary is a must have brunch drink. Very spicy and a decent amount of vodka, I felt amazing starting off my day. Next time I definitely need to splurge and cheat with Captain Crunch French Toast! What was I thinking trying to eat semi healthy??

I'm a big fan of Daily Eats. I've had numerous meals here and never found anything I didn't like. I have a friend from DC who insists we do a meal at Daily Eats every time he visits. Both brunch and dinner are fantastic, and you get lots of food for not much money. Looking at the menu, the most prominent option is the bowl selection. Daily Eats has a variety of bowls for both brunch and dinner. I recommend The Dougie bowl for brunch as you get to sample the whole grain pancakes which are some of the best anywhere. For dinner, you can choose between a full or half bowl. I'm a pretty big eater, and the half bowl is more than enough for me. Usually I'll get a side item, like the sweet potato fries, to go with a half bowl, and I'm more than full. The menu also includes a lot of other unique items like a potato chip turkey burger and cap'n crunch french toast. It definitely takes a few visits to try everything. The milkshake assortment is also impressive though I've never tried one. Parking is problematic during popular times since the restaurant is located next to Green Lemon, but parking is always a chore in Hyde Park. Also, unless you arrive really early, the wait for Sunday brunch can be pretty long for any party larger than two.

Very nice place. Very very busy. Everyone is nice. If you want breakfast please get their by 9. They change over to lunch by 1030. They home fries are very good but they will run out so get there early. We love the sangria.

Had breakfast here while in town because of the good reviews it had. The food was good, nothing that really blew our minds but it was fine. The grits were very good. Service was ok, took a little while to get our drinks and food and we never saw our waitress ever again. Some other girl came out and dropped off our ticket. Must have been slammed for them, but still...wasn't too impressed.

We decided to go here last minute after visiting the Florida Aquarium and it was a great decision. As soon as we pulled up we could see it was packed. We had to wait for 25 minutes for a table for 2 but it was well worth the wait. I ordered the potato chip crusted turkey burger with a spicy remoulade sauce and a side of cheese fries, and my mom ordered the bacon cheeseburger half size shredder bowl. My meal was one of the best I've ever had in Tampa. The turkey burger was juicy on the inside and crunchy without being oily on the outside, with a great tang from the remoulade. The cheese fries were hands down the best I've ever had. The fries were unique with a crunch that will never be matched, and the mix of cheese was perfect. My mom enjoyed her shredder bowl immensely. For dessert I got a brownie shake which was made with fresh brownies - it was so delicious! My mom had apple pie that was fresh, crisp, and very traditional (in the best way). I would not hesitate to go back and am looking forward to doing so next time I'm in Tampa!

I have to be honest, I fully intended to eat dinner at Datz this past Sunday but apparently they close at 3:00pm on Sundays. Cruising around Hyde Park my friend and I spotted Daily Eats and decided to check it out. It has a diner look and feel about it and we like diners. The staff was quick to greet us and seat us. We chose to eat outside, and our server Sydney was very knowledgeable about the menu. They serve Daily Eatsbreakfast, lunch and dinner all day and she told us about specials that were not on the menu. She suggested a quesadilla that was like having a mini Thanksgiving for an appetizer. We were a little skeptical so we ordered a half and split it. I won't do that again. I want one of my own, no more sharing. The turkey was moist and perfectly seasoned, as was the cornbread stuffing. The cheese brought it all together and there was a cranberry and sour cream dipping sauce. OMG! I was in fat kid heaven. I ordered the Memphis Southern Fried Chicken sandwich on Ciabbata bread and it came with a remoulade dipping sauce. That thing was huge. It was also delicious. It came with a side salad and I managed to eat half before surrendering and getting the to go box. My friend had an Angus burger and she likes it medium. I find that unless you ask for medium rare most burgers arrive overcooked. This one was a perfect medium. She said she was very happy with her meal as well. Our server checked on us regularly but was not intrusive. I felt the prices were reasonable with entrees averaging between 8 - 10 dollars. My only complaint was that it was chilly outside and the AC inside was just as bad if not worse. The servers were cold too. If only they could fix the temperature as well as they fix a plate of food. Oh well, next time I go I'll remember to bring a sweater. And there will be a next time. Daily Inside I usually take pictures of the places I eat and my order but the food was so good I forgot, thus the generic photos. Sorry! You got to try this place and let me know what you think

Summary- Damn good breakfast with all the right ingredients. I could have ordered the whole menu. Food- 4.5 Stars I had the Tijuana Breakfast bowl. It was pure awesome with the added option of jalapeno's and turkey sausage. So good. Wifey and Bro in law were very happy with their omelets as well. Drinks- 5 Stars Iced coffee was huge and pretty solid. They get bonus points for having Southern Tier on tap Service- 4 Stars Perfectly timed and friendly enough waitress. Value- 4 Stars A bunch of good food for the money. Atmosphere- 4 Stars Kinda dineresque in a good way.

Finding a great place for breakfast can be a real challenge. Yelp has made it so much easier when stepping out of comfortable neighborhood. I had an eye doctor appointment at the Optic Shop and we decided to eat here for breakfast. It was amazing!!! The eggs benedict were by far the best I have ever had at a restaurant. The hollandaise sauce had a touch of a lemon flavor. As close to home made as you can get. The grits were very creamy and remained hot the entire time. I would highly recommend!

Came for Sunday brunch. Didn't have to wait to sit at the bar. The server was so helpful! I told her I couldn't have gluten so she walked me through every item on the menu that I could have and made recommendations. She was attentive and friendly even when the counter filled up with a half dozen more folks. The food was fresh and had lots of color. I will definitely check this place out again. I think next time I will try the Tijuana bowl. The guy next to me had it and I was jealous!

Berit M.
So far my favorite breakfast place in the area. Everything I've tried so far is amazing. Hands down best French toast i've ever had! California Omelette rocks and the eggs are always cooked perfectly. Def try a shake sometime too. Dougie is one of the best servers. Can't go wrong with Daily Eats!

I some how forgot to review this wonderful little gem. I apologize. What I really love is that I can take my dog with me, yeah I'm one of those people. In my defense she walks on her own, doesn't wear clothes(backpack doesn't count), and she is well mannered. Hell, she behaves better then some people's kids! My Boyfriends favorite is the NY blue bowl, with a side of tater haters. From breakfast favorites with a twist to one of the best Veggie burgers I've had and milkshakes made of Captain Crunch! They have a little bit of everything to satisfy anyone. Breakfast served anytime. I"m always a fan of that.

Daily Eats is one of those places I'm willing to go when other people want to - but it's never one of my suggestions. I think it's ok but definitely overrate in town. Have you seen the line to get a table on the weekend?!?! The food is pretty good. Their Mexican omelette is a standout item on their menu along with the French toast variations. I also like the grits. Outside of that, nothing has really wowed me. It's not bad, but it isn't amazing either. I'd say that most of my less than stellar feelings come from operational issues and problems with the service. First, their wait estimates can be VERY off. My group was once quoted a 10 minute wait, and it ended up being 40. I'm willing to allow some leeway in that in case people linger, but that was a gross understatement. Second, some of their waitstaff is friendly but some can be a bit snooty. Not sure what's up with that. This last thing is actually a long, rambling story. On New Years Day, I was there for brunch and ordered the aforementioned Mexican omelette with home fries. When it came, I did not have home fries - I had tater tots. I looked at one of the other tables, and another customer had home fries. I asked about the substitution was told they were done serving home fries. Huh??? Don't get me wrong; I'm down with tater tots, but I like home fries with breakfast. And what do they mean by done serving home fries? Come to find out, they ran out at about 10 when I was there. Kind of annoying, but not as annoying as making the substitution without asking me and just dropping off my food like it was how I'd ordered it. Nice try, but no. Not saying I wouldn't come back, but I'm also not counting the days until I do.

it doesn't appear that this place needs another great review, but I'll go ahead and give it one anyway. I've eaten here twice in the past two weeks and it's been awesome both times. It's jammed during lunch so we did wait a little bit for our food but it was totally worth it. The first time I dined, we had an AMAZING waitress. She was friendly and helpful and really on point. I had the cali bowl and the small size (they have a large option too) was perfect. The bowl was jam packed with food that tasted fresh and was filling. The brown rice was perfectly cooked and the hummus we started with was an excellent light appatizer. The great thing about this place is that they have so many healthy options in addition to their great amount of "cheat day" items. The second time I dined there was during lunch and we sat at the bar. The staff was again, super helpful and friendly, but the kitchen seemed slammed. It wasn't a big deal because we still got in and out in an hour. This time I ordered the BLT with tater tots. Ya gotta love a place that serves tots. My buddy ordered the fried chicken sandwich and was supremely impressed with it. All around yumminess. I can't wait to go back and try some of their breakfast items which are served all day - a big bonus in my book.

One of the many, many eateries along Howard and we ended up there on the bounce, having learned Hugo's now closes at 5 pm. Daily Eats is bright, lively and loud. Lots of customers coming through and very kid-friendly, hence high decibels echoing off all hard surfaces. The menu is extensive with lots of all-day breakfast options. Also plenty of shakes, burgers, wraps, shreds, etc. Very much enjoyed the chicken teriyaki ...and if the sauce comes from a jar...I want the jar too. Portions are smaller than most places, so no left-overs to go. Also had several sugar-free pie choices, and enjoyed the banana cream. Clearly a popular SoHo eating place, and convenient to the legendary Tiny Taps Tavern, which is dim, quiet and no-kids. Last night we enjoyed both variations.

The food was good, actually great. But upon first impression , the place seems like a great atmosphere, and I was quite impressed at first. But once entering this eatery , the wait was ridiculously long. As I waited for this so called famous good food, I noticed that their " flow" was poorly organized . As a very busy business owner myself, it's imperative to handle business flow with high priority. As a business grows and becomes more successful. you have to adapt and change with the increased business . This place has not adapted as of yet . If this great eatery would expand their size and staff, I truly believe they will reach new levels of success and possibly put other local completion out of business. But until then , no matter how great the food is, 30-45 minute wait ( no matter how amazing the food) in the 93 degree heat will affect customer retention in the long run. Food was great, staff was friendly, but overall I would not look forward to waiting in the the over crowded parking lot in the sun. Next time I will take my order to go!

Had breakfast here yesterday while visiting a friend...got there around 10am and there was already a 1/2 hour wait. But the busboy was nice enough to get us coffee and hot chocolate while we waited. They sat us at a small booth which was fine for our party of 3 and we perused the menu. The waiter was kind of nice in a rushed sort of way and he quickly got our drinks. The menu has a lot of interesting choices, my friend ordered a scrambled egg and french toast bowl over home fries with vanilla maple syrup drizzle - it looked really good. I got the large bowl of steel cut oatmeal with bananas, bluberries, pecans and vanilla honey - YUMMY. Remember folks - not to be a hater but - this is Florida. I didn't have a lot of expectations for the food based on past experience but this place was ok.

This was our 2nd & last time at Daily Eats. It was a Saturday around 3:30 pm. With only 5 other tables seated and eating, we waited over 40 minutes for our burgers while marveling at the fact that the place seemed to be staffed by 12 people who were doing very little. There seemed to be two managers, 1 bus boy, 3 kitchen workers and 6 waitresses. Only the eldest waitress seemed to be actually busy. Interestingly, there was a sign on the door accepting employment applications Tables, floors and booth seats were not clean. There was a close encounter with a very dirty mop being carried at table level by the bus boy. My booth seat covering was cracked and kept scratching my legs uncomfortably. Our food was extremely greasy and we noticed a strange thing: there was an aluminum bowl of sweet potato fries on top of the back counter, & every so often the cooks would drop more fries in and the waitstaff would reach in and help themselves, so we thought it was no big deal. Then our orders came out and I saw our waitress reach into said bowl with tongs to fill my plate w/ my order of fries and then she brought it to our table. The fries were notably soft, lukewarm and not hot & crisp out of the frier. We kept hoping that the Restaurant Impossible guy would barge in, retrain the staff, clean the place and help out, because good restaurants are few in this part of the state and this one certainly ain't one of them.

Favorite spot for lunch, brunch & breakfast!! Highly recommend checking it out. I have been a loyal customer to Daily Eats for years & years. No matter where I go & what I do I always come back!! I have never had a bad experience with the food yet. I do have to warn you brunch or lunch on weekends specially has long waits & if you don't mind waiting then definitely try it out. They have the best sweet potato fries in Tampa bay in my opinion. The breakfast bowls, Benedict & omelets are all wonderful. The parfait are huge & delicious! Crunchy French toast is a must!! Salad bowls are amazing & all have wonderful flavors & excite your taste buds. Burgers & sandwiches are satisfying & yum!! Go. Run. Do it, get some Daily Eats!

Stopped in for lunch we didn't have to wait which was a plus. They were serving breakfast still and a limited lunch menu. I got one of the shredder bowls which was good and my son had the buffalo chicken sandwich.

My husband and I were torn between having dinner here or at the Mexican place next door. We were already sitting down in Daily Eats when we decided to try the place next door instead. Since we had already ordered drinks we decided to split some chili cheese fries. The fries were pretty good, nice and crispy. The chilli probably would have been better in just a bowl, it was a little watery to put on top of fries. What really stood out was the service. The waitress was very friendly, quick, and efficient. When she heard us talking about going next store she said that we should really try to guacamole there as it is very good. All together were were probably in and out of Daily Eats in 10 minutes. We would definitely be willing to go here and try some other items on the menu because of the outstanding service.

My co-workers and I frequent here often after a long night at work for their amazing breakfast and their mimosa's! We love that after getting off a crazy night at work, when we show up in scrubs they are only $2! DEAL! They have some yummy flavors like blueberry, watermelon, apple, cranberry, of course original and a few I'm forgetting. This trip in particular Kodi waited on us and did a great job. I met a co-worker there after work (I was off the night before) and opted for a latte. Saddened to find out they were no longer serving expresso at all!! I got a house coffee instead. Kodi did mention that I could get flavoring in my coffee, and I'm glad she did :) My friend got her fav. blueberry mimosa. For breakfast I got the Heathy JL, which consisted of a spinach and tomato omelette along with a side of oatmeal with their house granola, and honey whipped yogurt. Now, when they say a side they really mean a bowl. I managed to eat my omelette but the amount of oatmeal that came was almost overwhelming! It was so much food!! It was all so good thou! Next time I may just order the oatmeal or the yogurt parfait because the honey whip infused yogurt and granola is to die for. Keep up the good work Daily Eats. You do breakfast right.

Pretty neat spot on Howard for all day breakfast and lunch! Came here on a Monday morning for some hair of the dog and grub. Had their beer/Bloody Mary cocktail, forgot the name, but these are my favorite type of cocktail and they nailed. Nice and savory with a kick. Had the Tater Haters app which sent me into deep thought on why I hadn't thought of that on my own. A basic yet delicioussss combo. Omg, worst reviewer ever, I can't remember the names of anything! Well whatever, I had a eggs Benedict with NY strip steak and mushrooms with a side of fruit and it was damn good. Steak could've been warmer, but I still enjoyed the flavors. My friend is a fit junkie so she had a grilled chicken bowl with brown rice. Boring but she said it was good also.

You would be foolish NOT to come here!! Absolutely amazing place plus amazing service! We were on our way back to the airport, yelped "breakfast" and luckily came across this place. I have never been happier with the quality of the food and the quality of the service before. It is most definitely a hidden gem. At least for me as a first time visitor, but soon to be resident of the area. Before I move down permanently I will be back to visit and I now have my new favorite breakfast/lunch place.

Miranda S.
I had a great experience here! I ordered Dan's Chicken Melt, one of their house favorites, and it was the most delicious sandwich I've had in a long time. Their sweet potato fries cost extra but are worth the price. Did I mention they have an all day breakfast menu? My SO ordered a breakfast bowl and a milkshake and loved both. The milkshake was a bit pricey, but it looked like a work of art so I can't complain too much. Overall, the staff was friendly and the atmosphere was relaxed and inviting. However, it is a very popular place so if you go during a regular meal time, you might have to wait a while to get seated. Or you could do like we did and go in the middle of the afternoon and not wait at all.

On the 7th day, as He sat back taking in his creations, God whipped up one final concoction--Captain Crunch French toast--which he catalogued in the Book of Eats. Everything I've had here is amazing and, based on the consistent crowd of brunch snobs and foodies, I'm not alone. Staff is incredible, too. Rock on Erin and crew.

In Tampa for only a few days and tried to squeeze in as many food places as possible. Daily Eats was by far the best breakfast I've had. I was alone on a Friday lunch and the place was packed inside. Once I squeezed into a free spot on the bar eating area, a lined formed immediately behind me and the outside seating filled up quick. This was a good sign to me; so expect a wait when you get there. I had to get what a friend recommended to me and got a breakfast bowl and the french toast. I added a little guac on the bowl to make it "healthy". funny thing when I ordered the french toast was that when I was asked how I wanted it, at least 5 people around me unanimously said "crispy!" I'm glad I took their suggestion because I later found out it was covered in cap'n crunch. The bowl had plentiful eggs well scrambled and the bacon was done perfectly. The portions were huge and I was almost certain I was going to pack away what I couldn't finish off. Good thing for the endless topping off of hot coffee (and a to-go cup before I left), I stuck my guns and finished everything. I do know this, when I go back down to Tampa on a red-eye, this will be the reason why I even book the red-eye.

I used to come here often with Betty back in the day. They are priced fairly and the food is pretty consistent. Eggs benedict was sometimes a crap shoot as they would be overcooked half the time. They have unique milkshakes and the service is very good. Haven't been here in a while, but wouldn't hesitate to stop in. On a side note, parking sometimes sucks when at peak moments but there is street parking close by.

My mom and I stopped in for a quick lunch before my flight home and we left satisfied! We split a patty melt on a DE bun with sweet potato fries, and each got espresso. We got a puff'd (marshmallow) shake to go. We told the waiter we were kind of in a hurry, and he made sure to get us in and out quickly. The patty melt was delicious, cooked as ordered, lots of flavor. The sweet potato fries were drizzled with honey. Not as crispy as I like but they were tasty. The shake was good too, and I was impressed that they use real whipped cream. All in all service was excellent and the food was quite good. I would come back!

I don't live in Tampa, but I will definitely be returning every time I fly into the city. I wish I had a Daily Eats in my area. Service: Amazing! Our server Kate was spectacular and very attentive. wait time was minimal for the food to come out. Food: Ordered the NY Blue bowl; best choice I could have made. Great size portion, taste was great, a lot of steak. Over all, amazing! Also ordered the Oreo shake, It's a must!

Well It wasn't thanksgiving but i had the Turkey! This was not my first time to Daily Eats but it was my first time having lunch and boy was I pleasantly surprised. I ended up ordering the Turkey Burger dipped in Cornflakes with Fries (You have to have fries with a Burger) and let me tell you, WOW! this was delicious moist, hands down one of the guest burgers I have had. My two lunch companions had the rice bowls, one with Ahi and the other was Gyro and they both raved about how good theirs were as well. We got there at 11:50 and was seated within 15 minutes - during the lunch rush and trust me there was a bunch of customers waiting. We never felt rushed and our server was awesome. Guess what, Daily eats, you have me as a very satisfied customer

So Daily Eats is a must stop when I am in Tampa!! I always get breakfast when I come. Today I decided to try something different. The greek Shredder bowl was delicious!! It was light, healthy, and full of flavor!! A must try for a light healthy lunch!!

psssstttt, The apple-pie milkshake has crack in it. Okay, not literally but the milkshakes are sooo delicious and addicting, i was convinced that was something illegal in it! I couldn't stop myself from sipping the delicious heaven in a cup. When I first received my order, there was a long blond hair hanging out beside my pickle. The server took it back and they remade my food. The manager was really nice, apologized and took off of my bill. I've worked in fast food/restaurants before so I realize these things happen sometimes. Oh well, just remake my food and please hold off on the hair strings this time. I ordered a turkey burger on wheat with tots and it was very delicious (i made sure there were no hair in my food this time!). My friend ordered chili fries and a veggie burger. We both were satisfied with our food and service. I will come back again.

Fun all-American classic diner with fast friendly service. Hubby and I stopped for breakfast based on other Yelper reviews and thoroughly enjoyed our meals. For this visit, it was only the two of us today so we didn't wait long for outside seating. I ordered a side of tater tots with "The Dan", gorgeous breakfast sandwich with eggs, bacon, fried jalapenos on a fresh chibatta. Hubby ordered the The Tijuanna bowl, a hot spicy mess of delicious. We both our meals and can't wait to visit again to try another Daily Eats favorite.

A partner of my who live in the area recommend this place. This is a solid small diner located in the SoHo district . I arrived in town in the morning to have breakfast. I was quickly seated . The place is pretty small and busy . Parking was a challenge. I ordered a California omelette that includes house made guacamole, potato frys and wheat toast . Over all a solid spot for breakfast. Full bar with happy hours specials also.

You cannot go wrong eating here. Simply home cooked, comfort foods is why I like to go back. The burgers are juicy and well portioned, the mac n cheese decadent, and the breakfast bowls are to die for. The food comes out fast and hot. I love the combinations they use to make the menu fun and exciting. The problem I have is that I always want 3-4 items.... My favorite item is the buffalo mac n cheese bowl. I also like the Tater Hater which is there loaded tots. The parking is a little frustrating at times. They have a great happy hour special for drinks and food.

Love this place. I live down the street and often walk here to grab a burger bowl for dinner. It's also a must visit when friends are in town. Any dish with salmon is always amazing.The servers are always nice and never uppity. The prices are affordable and dishes are consistent.

Lauren B.
This cool place in SOHO (south Howard Ave) has some great options. I ordered online and went to pick up. They have two reserved 10 minute spots for people picking up which is really convenient. The staff was friendly and knew what I was there for. I ordered the buffalo chicken shredder bowl and am currently stuffing my face, it's so good. I also ordered a side of sweet potato fries which are amazing as well. The half of the shredder bowl is kind of small, so I wish I had gotten the full but it's a good amount for what you pay. When I went to pick up the food people were eating outside with their dogs. I love that! I'll have to keep that in mind for taking our dog out around there.

So I go here all the time and love the food. But I just had the WORST service ever. We were completely ignored for the first ten minutes even though we were sitting right by the register. Everyone proceeded to chat and ignore us. Finally our server comes over after another server takes our drink order. Then doesn't come back at all. We get our food from someone else also. Then I had to stare down a waitress to make eye contact to get some pepper. After all this a totally different person brings us our check. No one asks if we want drink refills, dessert etc. . Mind you the whole time our server was within 5 feet from us. Get your shit together Daily Eats!

I'm thinking the food may be a little hit or miss here because what I ordered looked nothing as good as the pictures posted here! Still, this is a cool diner in Tampa. Inside has the big booths reminiscent of a 50s diner. They have counter stools too. I am a big fan of their outdoor dining area; the patio offers plenty of shady thanks to the roof overhang. They have a great menu with lots of options, however you do get what you pay for here. I ordered the omelette with goat cheese and avocado. Three tiny slivers of avocado was what I got and there wasn't a tablespoon of goat cheese in the entire omelette. It was good but it could have been much better. The biggest issue with this place is the service, so if thats a big deal to you, then you will need to go elsewhere. We were in the mood for breakfast late on Sunday morning. The hostess sat us promptly with breakfast menus. It took at least 5 mins for the waitress to make the first stop and when she did she whisked the menus from our hands and told us they were switching to the lunch menu in a 2 minutes. Well, maybe if you greeted us when we first sat down 5 mins ago we could have ordered. I don't give up on a place just because of one below average service experience, so ill be back to try their other items and will update my review then.

My boyfriend and I were in town from Miami and love looking for new places to eat!! THANK YOU YELP FOR LEADING US HERE! We went on a Saturday morning. The food was simply amazing and tasted so fresh. We sat at the bar and got a perfect view of all the food being sent out. Everything being sent out had to be perfect! The staff was extremely nice and friendly. The waiter was very helpful and attentive. The food was very very tasteful and fresh!! We are going back for dinner because we loved it so much!

I don't know what it is about brunch but I always order everything and I had the same problem here but actually finished it all. So good. The salmon lox was so fresh and generous on the salmon, the breakfast potatoes with the eggs were unreal. And the brunch drinks were perfect. Can't wait to go back when I'm in town !

Just left Daily Eats....asked for the BBQ Chicken Sandwich I had on Friday, and they would not serve it. It wasn't after 3PM??? Crazy. It was Noon on Friday when I had it. Time of day really shouldn't matter.....oh well, so we left. Now we are at Panera enjoying Lunch. I have always enjoyed my Meals at Daily Eats. Not today, new management? There are ways to say "no" but I didn't get it today.
We were staying in Tampa for the weekend the and wanted a place for breakfast. Looked on Yelp, read the reviews for this place and decided to give it a shot. So glad we did. First, Jay our server was excellent, friendly and recommendations were spot on. The food was delicious. Husband had the captain crunch french toast and said it was the best he's had. I had the greek omelet and it was huge, fresh and delicious. We will definitely be coming here again next time we visit Tampa. You ever get just a good vibe from someplace? This place, the area has that vibe. Good atmosphere is only topped by the excellent food. Thanks for a great. Dining experience.

Well, my friend talked this place up, and yes the food was pretty good. I came here on a Tuesday Morning around 10:30 AM. Had terrible service. It was not super packed, ive seen diners in New Jersey that were slammed but the waitors have been on their A-Game..but here not so much. I came with two other people & altho we were seated right away, it took awhile to get our waters..menus..and even put in our order. It seemed like all the waitors were basically farting around and not really servicing anyone. I believe the owner or some type of manager who was sitting behind us over heard us talking shit and cracked the whip on one of the waitors. I got "The New Yorker" At first glance, i thought to myself "im gonna be hungry after this". I was wrong...half way through eating this Egg Benedict with a fair amount of Salmon..i entered the Itus mode. It also came with a side..and i chose Home fries which were okay. I knew i should have gotten the grits but they charged extra for cheese. lame! The Benedict itself was great and worth the $10 or whatever. OH annnnddd i had an Apple Mimosa which hit the spot! I wouldnt say that you should rush here..but for breakfast it was pretty good.

Disclaimer: One of the waitresses comped the bill in order to correct the situation, but that is merely because the squeaky wheel gets the grease. When your customer at a table of 4 is standing in front of you 38 minutes after an order was placed, you know that they are dissatisfied, especially when the most difficult order was french toast. I actually walked in the restaurant to inquire (both of our waitresses were MIA for eons) and went back in again for coffee/drink refills. I think they just forgot about us. With the disclaimer out there, I am the only person in my party that is willing to go back and try again. Aside from almost chewing the support beams on the porch while we waited,the food was mediocre. One breakfast bowl went back (it was cold) and order cancelled (it wasn't worth the wait for another), one breakfast bowl was lukewarm, eggs & toast okay (standard!) & the crunchy french toast good. You would think that anything might taste great after the wait for a table (45 mins...not complaining- this is understandable on a Sunday) and then the wait for food (38 mins) but noooooo. Daily Eats is in my neighborhood and I had hoped that this could become a regular in my repertoire. I'm sad.

When I think of breakfast this is the first place that comes to mind. I love that there is so much to chose from and it fits any mood. Do I want something traditional or something trendy and healthy. Your choice. The only downside is that it is a small place and often so crowded that you have a long wait. The take out holds up pretty well.

Hands down my favorite casual restaurant in tampa! My favorites are the tater hater, Greek shredder bowl, grilled cheese, the macs, and the shakes. You can go healthy or not when you eat here. The service is great and the environment is nice, casual and clean.

This place isn't bad. The BBQ sandwich is pretty good as are the sweet potato fries. Service is actually really good, seems like teamwork is strong. The only thing that blows is parking, but what else is new in South Tampa? Haha

I can't recommend this place enough! I was visiting from Las Vegas and heard great things about the shakes. I'm so glad I listened! The food is incredible and the service is too. My server made sure that everything was how I ordered and my soda was kept full. I had the loaded grilled cheese and ordered the cheesy tots. I debated since I already had the sandwich, but it ended up being a great choice. The tots were sitting in this amazing cheese sauce (no canned nacho cheese here!) and melted shredded cheese on top. My favorite part was feeling like I was in an old school diner complete with Formica tables and glass Heinz ketchup bottles!
(5)
Joey L.
I just can't help myself, I'm a regular here. Every time I walk in I get the jitters because I just don't know what to order, it's all so very good! Do I stick with what I know and get a blackened bacon burger with tots or maybe I should roll with my favorite buffalo chicken bowl and make it with spinach so I can feel better about my health. Do I head towards the Mexican bowl and add chicken? So many excellent choices! I feel like Will Ferrell in Old School when Frank the Tank slams his beer, only it's the food...It's so good...once it hits your lips, it's so good! Dan's chicken melt is my newfound favorite these days. You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. I would like to know how many pounds of tots Daily Eats runs though in a day? Gotta be an impressive number, they are always cooked to perfection.

I got the Mexican chili bowl. It was really good and the portions were pretty large. I didn't get any meat, so they let me add quinoa for free. I know they're both owned by the same people, but Daily Eats is a lot better than Lemon (which is next door). Everything I saw come out of the kitchen looked good. I think you'll be hard pressed to find something bad on the menu.

I recently got to try this place out and I'm in love. What a great place for brunch or lunch. I love the unique diner style of this place and the options for a healthy or not so healthy meal are extensive. I ended up coming here with a small group of people on a not so busy Monday so it was great to have such quick service and get seated timely. I can't wait until the next time I get to experience this deliciousness!

Visited the weekend of June 19th. Ate there twice, once for breakfast and once for dinner. Service is wonderful. Their signature dishes are bowls; breakfast, lunch or dinner. Farm to table ingredients. Great choice for a visit when you're in Tampa!

My wife and I have been to this establishment twice now and have been very happy with the quality of the food and the friendliness of the staff. The wait can be a little long and the service a little slow if they are busy but it is well worth it. I ordered the buffalo chicken sandwich and I highly recommend it with the tots. On another note, you will see a review posted by another user today that mentions hair in food and a disrespectful manager. I was sitting right next to that gentleman and his partner and I can tell you that the manager was very cordial. In fact if there was anyone out of line it was this customer. He started shouting and even used some adult language with children around. His (the customers) behavior was way out of line and unfortunately made things very uncomfortable for several surrounding customers. I understand there is something wrong with your food but your behavior was not acceptable sir. Anyhow, we love daily eats and I hope you do too!

Francesca L.
Every time I eat here I am reluctant and only going because my hubby loves it, but every time we are done I think "oh yea, that's actually pretty good!" What turns me off is that the menu is very "cafeteria deli" and reads too bland, plus it's got a very casual vibe (and I'm not a casual gal). I've had the club on wheat, the BLT on white and the mac & cheese-all very delicious, especially the club on wheat with the sauce it comes with...yum! Will return, I suggest everyone try it at least once!

Jeff D.
Good food fast, I dropped in today to have a bite to eat on my way home and enjoyed a quick meal. I had one of the bowls that they offer and was happy that I had two sizes to chose from. The Greek bowl was full of good stuff and served fast. The service was friendly and I was explained all of the specials and offered a refill on my drink. All In all a good spot when you wand to eat fast.

Chris W.
Daily Eats is obviously doing something right because the place was packed when we went there for breakfast. Unfortunately for us it was raining when we got there. There wasn't anywhere to wait inside so we had to huddle under the small porch out front with other people that were waiting to get in. After a good wait we eventually got seated. I didn't have any complaints about the breakfast I got, but it didn't feel like anything special to me either. That was probably my fault because I just ordered a standard breakfast with pancakes, eggs, and bacon. I should have tried something unusual, such as their turkey hash. If I go back for breakfast I will definitely do that, but I haven't been motivated to go back when I can go to other places where I don't have to deal with the wait.

Noelle F.
Third time I have been here and the food has always been great. This time we waited a little bit to be greeted, however the manager came over unprompted and apologized and bought us desert. Our waitress was great and they were very accommodating for the rest of the meal. Their crusted french toast and potato chip crusted turkey burger are amazing, and they have a full milkshake menu. A most try when you are in soho or tampa.

Had a great experience here today. The wait to get a table for two on thisSaturday noon was about 20 mins, so we just helped ourselves to the bar area and ate there. the staff were really nice and well coordinated, they helped each other out in order to get through busy hour. The food was amazing and came out timely. It was a well managed restaurant with good menu, fair prices, and friendly staff. The place has a lot of health and non healthy choices, so it's win win for everyone!

Been a Daily Eats reg for over 3 years now. The service has always been fantastic, the ingredients are fresh, and the consistency of the dishes is always amazing. They hit the nail on the head and then some. Weekend brunch can get pretty crazy (its a good thing, trust me) so if you want to be in and out I suggest yet get there by 8a, 10a the absolute latest because if not, you're gonna wait at least 45 mins. They're known for their Shredder Bowls and awesome breakfast but you cant go wrong with anything here, believe me. Definitely a food staple in Tampa.

Michelle D.
Delicious food and drinks. I had the chef's famous crunchy French toast, it wasn't really crunchy, but the flavor and moistness of the French toast was amazing. Blueberry mimosas to go with. They have amazing burgers here, and the Newyorker Benedict is nothing short of delicious. Come here and try literally everything. Only down side is no reservations and long waits, but a lot of people seem to put their names and ditch for the other nearby restaurants, our hour wait turned about to be about 30 minutes.

Haley D.
For a diner, this place is phenomenal. It's a super busy spot in the SoHo district, so you'll most likely have to wait for a table on Saturday and Sunday. It's a pretty small place so the seating is very limited. However, the wait will be way worth it. The Shredder bowls that I've had have all been excellent. All fresh ingredients and toppings let you know that this establishment prides itself with quality over quantity. I like a spicy styled eggs for breakfast, so I choose the Tijuana (which is gluten free btw). The eggs are scrambled and served with vegetarian chili and cheese. I look forward to my menu selections on our next visit.

Why 3 stars? Because this is the exact definition of A-OK. --- --- --- Daily Eats is why 3-star reviews were invented. I have been several times. I have never loved my meal. I have never hated my meal. Nothing has ever stood out one way or another. Being mediocre isn't a bad thing though... especially when my girlfriend loves you. As for me? I've tried a variety of items over the last few years, and I have nothing to recommend or advise to avoid in particular. This has been "Vague Hour" with Brett. Stay tuned for an all new Ricki Lake.

I'm not gonna sugar coat it or write an essay. Daily eats is a great stop on a shopping day or if you're craving a specific dish they make. I'm in love with the Captain crunch crusted french toast and eggs. I drive 25 mins to ge that dish. Always recommend.

This was a fun visit to an interesting diner. I guess I was lucky as I arrived around 1:30 on Saturday afternoon and was by myself so getting in was no problem. The hostess asked if I wanted to sit at the bar which I did - the smell from the kitchen was wonderful. The waitress was great, got my drink right away and made helpful suggestions for my first time there. I tried the hamburger bowl (though she said The California was most popular) and had a basket of fried pickles. Everything was delicious, fresh and quickly served. Sitting there at the bar I watched all the orders come out, breakfast is served all day. I was offered a drink to go when I got my check. All in all this was about as good as it gets. I will surely return.

Robert G.
I'm a big fan of their Shredder Bowls. There's one in particular I order every time I visit. What I especially like about the bowls is that their healthy options. The Cheese Burger Bowl is my go to lunch and/or dinner choice. I up the healthy quotient by subbing beef with bison and add spinach. This dish has such great flavor to it and tastes so decadent yet it truly is a great high protein healthy option dish. Of the many times I've dined at Daily Eats the serve has always been good to very good. I highly recommend Daily Eats for brunch, lunch and dinner.

Logan G.
Okay so I usually love daily eats but this time they seriously messed up. I ordered an egg bowl and asked for runny eggs. I ended up getting scrambled eggs so I sent it back. Then they brought it out with scrambled eggs again and tried to tell me they were runny scrambled eggs.... What the hell! Anyways I guess they don't know what runny eggs are and they don't care to get your order right The second wrong order was just left with us after the waiter tried to make "runny scrambled eggs" a thing. There was no offer to actually fix it.

Great place for Sunday Brunch!!! I just went here on Sunday and this place was packed as usual. I suggest eating at the bar inside, its first come first serve. I've never had anything bad off their menu and every day from 2-7 pm you can get $2 mimosas.

Food was good. Service was terrible. 10a on a monday, they were busy but not full. Waitress never brought us coffee as we asked, and never brought the grits that came with my meal even after I mentioned it multiple times. Then still charged me full price on food I didn't get. There's plenty of other options around the area to choose from.

My wife and I and a friend ate lunch here on vacation and it was really impressive. The breakfast options (all day I think?) are creative and very tasty. I had one of their featured "bowls" that had gyro meat, tzatziki, veggies over a bed of spaghetti squash (sub for rice I highly recommend). We had the special pork quesadillas and a group side of sweet potato fries drizzled in honey. Outstanding across the board, original, well prepared, nice staff. Must try.

Seriously !!! Every time I come here and order they have ran out of food I was here at 1045 and I sat here for 20 min waiting for food, then they tell me they are out of grits last time it was oatmeal I was told they stop selling breakfast at 11am. But you serve it all don't so .... I heard the server yelling at kitchen staff about inconsistency, so that's not my fault that food was sold out and I didn't get my grits prior to 11 AM so then I asked can I get 2 pieces of French toast since grits are out she said No , That's a joke not here to please customers and then they wanna charge me 4 dollars for French toast. Only in south Tampa So after this I will not be returning here to another ruined restaurant due to south Tampa staff that just care about $$$ instead of customer service I will be taking my buisness to Hyde park and I assure you this yelp review will be one to be in the books so anyone that eats here is you want overpriced hangover food then come to "basic eats where all the basic people eat !!!!

Daily Eats came very very close to disappointing me, but they saved it with the meal they served. This was a 3.5 star meal, but I'm rounding down for 2 reasons We showed up wanting a late breakfast, and sat down at around 2:50 or something. I should point out that I am not positive about the time - but it was 5-10 minutes before they switched from their breakfast menu, to their lunch/dinner menu with breakfast all day. This is important, because the server came by after a few minutes and took the breakfast menu away and gave us the lunch/dinner with breakfast menu. She told us that they were 2 minutes-by that point- from the time they switched and said we couldn't order from the full breakfast menu anymore. I want to take a full star away for this, but I won't because I'm a nice guy, but this is B.S. First, we had already been sitting for 3-5 minutes. Second, if you draw a line in the sand, then you should abide by that line. If I had 2 minutes, then I had 2 minutes. I don't like being the person who, for example, sits down in a restaurant within 10-15 minutes of closing, but this was the middle of the afternoon. Same kitchen, same cooks, and if I had 2 minutes, I should have been able to order what I wanted. So while I didn't deduct the star, this is the first of two reasons for the rounding down in my rating. Anyway, the issue was, of course, that my girlfriend and I both wanted something on the regular breakfast menu that wasn't on the all day menu. But, putting the spoiled brat part of me aside, we each found something on the all day menu that we liked. I got the Dan - scrambled eggs, fried jalapenos, bacon and swiss (I dropped the tomatoes because, lets face it, tomatoes are "icky," to use the scientific term) on chibatta bread. Really good breakfast sandwich. However, I ordered fries with that (what? who doesn't like french fries for breakfast? Besides, I ran that morning, which means if I want fries for breakfast then I can have fries for breakfast!). The fries weren't that good. I don't understand the battered french fry thing. I've complained about it before, but it doesn't improve the fry. Cut potato, drop in fryer, drown in bucket of salt (seasoned salt, if you're feeling fancy) and you're done. Anything else is unnecessary and doesn't add to the flavor, it detracts. Hence, you get rounded down from 3.5 stars. I realize 3 stars is mediocre, but this was a 3.5 star meal and I am anxious to go back to try something else.

This place really is as good as the reviews say. Went Saturday morning at 11AM. I knew it would be busy but we really didnt wait that long to be seated; maybe like 10 minutes.The place was packed but we were well attended and got our food quickly. We got the: Tijuana Bowl New York Style Eggs Benedict California Omelet Fresh Squeezed Orange Juice Everything was delicious, hot, and we got GENEROUS PORTIONS! Enough to take food home for later. My omelet was hearty with lots of meat (turkey, bacon), melty cheese, and super thick with lots of eggs! SO GOOD! And the orange juice was delicious all though you just get a small cup. All in all, an EXCELLENT place to go. Would definitely go back and take friends there in the future. I look forward to going there for lunch or dinner to try their other food items. Lastly, the price is just right. About $9 a plate but you get TONS of food!

I had to downgrade this place a little bit. The last few times we have been here the service has been pretty bad. The hostess seemed confused a about how to put 2 tables together to accommodate 4 adults, 2 kids, and a baby. They just generally seemed unwelcoming. The servers are also so slow! When you have a baby with you time is much more of an issue. Even though I still like the food a lot we will probably have to try to find a more efficient breakfast spot with the baby.

Awesome breakfast food here! I had their Tijuana omelette, and it was great! The place was so packed that I ordered to go, and it was still pretty good. I have also had their shredder bowls, and they are awesome as well. I suggest to anyone!

Average food for exuberant prices, that's how I know I'm in SoHo. Staff is nice and that's nice but I will not be eating here again. If you enjoy basic breakfast with out-of-touch Yuppies here's your new favorite spot. Overhearing their gripes about the boat taking too long to be repaired or what to do with the yacht now that they live on a golf course was funny at first but, wow, just at first. Best part was waiting forever to be seated to eat greasy fried food. I'm going back to Seminole Heights. I'll leave the booth open for some yacht club kids so they have somewhere to eat while they wait to collect their inheritances.

Oh. My. God. Really, that is all I can say. I am drooling just thinking of writing about the food I ate there today. I said to my mom the other day something like: I haven't found any place in florida yet, that I simply can't live without, with food that I crave. Well, I think I've found it. My mom and I ordered our own meals but shared, so I've tried the New Yorker (representin'!) Benedict (puddle) it was so friggen delicious and the salmon wasn't even fishy at all. It was sweet, salty and savory. I also got to try their turkey burger which was so fresh I swear they just killed the livestock out back before making my meal. Their food is so full of flavor and even making health conscious decisions won't leave you hungry or disappointed. I will DEFINITELY be going back.

Overall a solid meal. Contemporary, edgy diner serves up bowls of great grub. Went for lunch and the place was packed, so we sat at the bar and were immediately helped. Waitress was really on top of her game. She had the whole bar area on lock, and was extremely accommodating to everyone in the restaurant, not just us. The concept here is quite unique. It kind of reminds me of a japanese restaurant that serves donburi or "don" for short, but substitues fish and seafood for classic american fare like bbq chicken, hamburger and interestingly enough, turkey (which was great). There are a few not-so-traditional concoctions such as the Thai bowl which was also great. What I liked most about this place was the balance of all of the ingredients in the bowls to really make it a healthy, complete meal. The turkey option is also nice, as it is a nice alternative to the usual chicken. This is a neat concept worth trying out. I look forward to eating here again when I am on this side of town. 4.5 stars.

Weekends here seem to be insane, but they turnover tables pretty quickly. During the week, this is a great breakfast spot. Friendly and warm staff and lots of regulars. It's what you'd want in a breakfast spot especially if you happen to be traveling through. Their menu has some interesting sounding but sweet dishes like captain crunch pancakes. That said, you can totally have a nice healthy breakfast if you play your cards right. My only wish would be to take the coffee up a notch. Espresso would be nice and I imagine this neighborhood would eat that up.

If you are really hungry or seeking breakfast all day this place is awesome. They have some original recipes and healthy options too like quinoa, spinach, and fruit blend drinks. And they also have amazing ice cream shakes and pies for when you want dessert. Most of the time service is good but we've gone a few times and had to wait a bit, but the food is always good. There is both outdoor seating and bar seating almost like a diner too for when you need to grab something quick. Parking can be tough at peak hours but there is an alternate lot across the street. Overall a cool place with a fun upbeat atmosphere and an interesting menu.

The food was good, plenty to choose from on the menu, and the service was good. ........ I got a message from the owner(?), after he read my previous review saying I wasn't completely satisfied with the atmosphere....... ((It really was just me... I'm -stupid- picky, and it just wasn't my type of atmosphere...... however..........) he told me to come back to try it out again, they would take care of me, and that they were expecting me. I'm pretty sure I know where I'm going for breakfast lol A for effort for real. I've delt with quite a few different companies lately that clearly do not give a damn about customer service...... I'm extremely impressed, and I really, really appreciate this. Thanks Jeff ;)

We have returned to Daily Eats after a nine month break from it. We are sitting here drinking beverages with no ice which they are still charging us $2.25 for and they are warm. My mac and cheese has bits of other food in it. The fruit is lying exposed right under the food service window. This place is run by a younger crew and it is starting to show. I sat at the counter amd you can see a lot of unappetizing things from that view.......including workers snacking on a fry or other small bit off your soon to be delivered meal.

I just had a really yummy breakfast bowl with lox and scallion cream cheese! Followed by the captain crunch French toast, which does not need any syrup at all, it was crunchy and sweet on the outside and the bread was gooey on the inside. Lauren, my server, was awesome and recommended the grapefruit mimosa, which had the perfect amount of sweetness!

Extensive menu appealing to all in our party. The food was excellent, and the service was one of a kind, Kodie was the best she made us feel a part of the family! We have had difficulty finding a restaurant in the Howard, Hyde Park area that are "truly" family friendly ... This is the place - 5 Stars!!!

Mariana W.
Was just served the most flavorless omelet I have ever tried. Spinach and goat cheese. Eggs were bland, avocado was hard ( not quite ready) and there was honestly a teaspoon of goat cheese inside omelet. Toast was good. The steak and egg bowl was a little better though steak appeared to be grisly minute steak as opposed to shaved beef. Provolone cheese helped. Made both the server and the hostess aware i did not care for omelet -I did eat the fruit and toast, however, so I guess that's why I was charged the full price.

Ate here while on vactaion, THREE times! The best diner in SOHO! Our server Laura B made great suggestions, and even offered us dessert after breakfast! I only had breakfast here; they have great healthy options as well as the famous Capt. Crunch French Toast, (which is AMAZING). I highly suggest you eat here, several times!

Pretty good eats - not oversized portion. It's a bit annoying that they will not seat parties of less than three in their 4-man booths. Instead, they squeeze you in shoulder to shoulder at 1.5 man tables or let you just walk out. Those 4-man booths sat empty the entire time we were there, but we saw as many as 3 couples walk out because they didn't want to wait for more compact seating. Food gets an B+, service gets a B+, use of available seating gets a D. If there are only two of you and you want a larger booth instead of waiting, remember to bring your invisible friend.

If I could give less stars I would. Over an hour wait to be seated (after they told us 20-30 min). Over 45 minutes to get simple orders of 4 breakfast foods. I understand places get busy at this time, but to wait 45 minutes for 2 breakfast bowls, 1 plate of eggs and hashbrowns and 1 order of French toast should NEVER take that long. Also too, it's frustrating when you see a group of three people and a group of 2 people who were seated near us but seated well after us be halfway through their meals before we even get our food. I don't know if it was the kitchen's fault or if the waitress forgot to actually put the order in but it's unacceptable. To top it off my breakfast bowl was completely cold and I sent mine back. She did offer to make it again but at this point I was unwilling to wait another extended period of time. Also, would have been nice to have a manager come and speak to our party to apologize when they obviously knew we were not happy by our frequent visits inside to check on our meals and get our own refills. I don't think I will be back. There are way too many places to eat in South Tampa and spend my money.

Daily Eats is definitely one of my go to places when I want a good breakfast. Since I am a health nut, I like that they have a lot of healthy options, which is why I like to go there. Whenever I go I get an egg white omelet with a side of oatmeal. I have never tried their granola/loaded oatmeal but it looks really good. When I am not watching my waistline so much I will indulge and order the oh so good captain crunch french toast. They have these breakfast bowls that my friends really like, but I am one of those people that try not mix their foods, and I eat one food item on my plate at a time ( I can be weird like that I guess) so the bowls never seem appetizing to me but they look interesting. I haven't tried their lunch, but I did try some of their sweet potato fries when my friend ordered a burger and they were REALLY good ( I love sweet potatoes). Def go by there for breakfast. Please note it's dog friendly too, which can be a good or bad thing if you want to eat outside.

Packed to the gills on Sunday morning as others mentioned. A sign of something good? Eh. Nothing special about the food. Standard breakfast fare along with a few of their own creations and their way of serving the meals. Food was good. However, $40 for three little small meals and two coffees is a bit much. Bottom line OVERPRICED and too cramped to enjoy a meal.

Harry C.
Stopped by on Sunday morning for breakfast. There was a line, but we were sat in less than 10 minutes. Coffee was decent, but at 830 just about any caffeine delivery system will do. The buttermilk/wheat pancakes were more than sufficient, they were amazing. Try the coconut. Pro tip get the short stack. The other meal was two eggs with grits and bacon. Grits and bacon up, eggs were over cooked, down. Would recommend to anyone for breakfast and I'm looking forward to stopping by for lunch and dinner.

I heard great things about this place by several different people so I thought I would try it out. I went on a Saturday morning, it was busy but the service was still great. Our waiter was Adam and he was great very funny and personable. I got their breakfast French toast bowl and it was to die for. This place speaks for it's self. I would definitely give this place a try if you want a good place to eat in south Tampa and don't want to go to a chain restaurant. The prices are reasonable as well.

This is absolutely my favorite place to eat. My favorites are the pancakes with pecans, caramel, and bananas and the turkey hash is amazing! I also enjoy their bowls, particularly the Thai chicken shredder bowl and the buffalo chicken bowl. They are generally a pretty solid place to eat. I personally think the captain crunch French toast is a little too sweet for my taste, but most people tend to enjoy it.

Have tried it....and tried it....and tried it. The place is always packed with folks? Everyone seems happy... The shredded up lettuce in their various "bowl" offerings is reminiscent of the lettuce on a Big Mac...Yuk!

This place is a solid place for American food. I wanted a burger, and I had been recommended Daily Eats by a friend in the past, so we came here for dinner. It was exactly as I expected, maybe a little better. Staff is friendly. The tables are on the small side if you don't get a booth, and the seats aren't very comfortable. The atmosphere is very diner-ish. We started with the Tater Hater -- similar to nachos with with tater tots instead of tortilla chips. Then I had the black and blue burger with the sweet potato fries, and my husband had a cheeseburger with a Caesar salad on the side. He also had a strawberry milkshake and a sundae for dessert (yes, he's a glutton). Everything was very good. The taters stayed crispy despite all the cheese sauce. I ordinarily don't like sweet potato fries that are served with maple syrup (they usually end up cloyingly sweet), but I found theirs to be the right amount of sweet. This place would be great if I had a hangover that needed sopping up. It's certainly a place where it's easy to get grease bombed. I'll have to try something healthier next time.

This was by far the best breakfast we had on our visit to the area. A busy place with a wide variety of patrons. It's so popular that the wait was long and originally I got agitated but the food made up for it. We will definitely come back next time we're in town.

Jason H.
It's solid. For the life of me I can never remember the name of what I get when I come here, but the gf always gets the famous french toast. You get a lot for the price here, but overall it's just not enough for me to push it to five stars. I like a lot of places in South Tampa (a lot of them, including DE, under the Ciccio's group) and this is definitely in the rotation...especially since, like Brett, gf loves it.

You know how hunger is the best seasoning? I was starving when we first got here. We drove around looking for parking for Gasparilla and after half an hour ended up back where we started and decided to pay an arm and a leg for parking. Therefore, our brunch got pushed back half an hour and having not eaten anything all day, those 30 minutes meant a lot. I got the lox breakfast bowl and my fiance got the captain crunch pancakes. When I first started eating the breakfast bowl I thought wow this is amazing! Halfway through I regained my senses and began to really asses what I was eating. It was a good portion and it is a great combination of flavors. However, overall it was too salty. Whether it was too much smoked salmon (is that even possible?) or too many capers, there just was not enough scrambled eggs and home fries to balance it out. I'm actually surprised that this bowl had too much filling (tomatoes, capers, etc.) than scrambled eggs. Overall it was still great, but could have been slightly better. I still love the idea of breakfast bowls and will be back to try a different one. Also, this kept me satisfied and filled until dinner. My fiance liked, but didn't love his captain crunch pancakes. I blame the fact that he is against almost all things healthy and did not realize the pancakes were whole wheat. I tried it and it was very sweet. He ended up leaving a pancake and a half on his plate. However, I think most people would enjoy these pancakes as long as they do not have a vendetta against whole wheat. The atmosphere is great. It has a very diner like feeling and a good number of seats outside. I can see myself going back for brunch. I love the menu and I had a hard time deciding what to get.

Daily eats is great for both dinner and breakfast. Today I got the carnivore omelette and turkey hash and the GF got a scrambled egg and bacon bowl. We both loved it. I was recently diagnosed with Celiac Disease so it was great that their main menu has GF logos next to each Gluten free item. Our server was good and was great breakfast.

We took our parents here for a quick lunch and it was a sweet little lunch spot. They said the coffee was actually the best they'd had in a while and thought it might have been the location of the Old Meeting House ice cream shoppe? Nothing looked dated and maybe if it did it was overlooked bc the whole feel of the place fit in with the fast paced feel of a quick serve diner. We all got the half size bowls which everyone loved the portion size except for me. I love a bowl of food and this seemed really small. Spend the extra $2 and get the full size portion, the food we got was too good to eat too little:) Each bowl had brown rice base with lettuce and a different style topping. -Greek Chicken Bowl- my mother in law got this and she loved it. She wouldn't stop talking about how delicious it was. Lots of chicken, olives, onions, feta. It looked really great. -Buffalo Chicken Bowl- my husband loved this, fried chicken bites covered in buffalo sauce and blue cheese. -Thai Peanut Bowl- I ordered this without the sauce and it came with it on which usually ticks me off but I was so glad I didn't skimp on whatever delicious magic that came in that bowl. Raw broccoli, other various veggies, rice and lettuce (I got mine without meat but it comes with a protein). Granted it did not fill me up but it was so good. A little spicy in a good way.

Samantha G.
The food here is always delicious. The brunch is absolutely amazing, the Californian omelette and the whole wheat butter milk pancakes are a must. The $5 burger and $2 mimosa special keeps people coming here during less busy times. Both are always a good choice. The only reason I am not not giving it full stars is the service. Although the food is amazing, the service could use some improving.

Yup! Another homerun for Ciccio Restaurant Group. The food and service was great and much better than Datz. We ordered the Tijuana breakfast bowl and the greek omelet and have no complaints. We even received a complementary cookie for being a first timer! Once again, Ciccio Restaurant Group is winning me over...

This place has a super chill atmosphere and the food doesn't disappoint. I enjoyed the mimosa (of the three available flavors, I had the orange) and my strawberry salad was deliciously fresh. The people around me had burgers and omelets; all looked incredible. The staff were very friendly - I was greeted immediately by both the hostess and server. I will definitely be back.

First off, you people (yes, I mean you people) need to ask for Doug when you have a seat in this fine establishment. The dude has a menu item and manages in the evening. Exceptional service, great table-side manner and quick with the refill on most any liquid. The outstanding service not withstanding, the food is excellent. I took a chance and made a Sunday morning reservation this last weekend with me girl - a first time visit for each of us. She landed the CA Omelet and I have a weakness for Eggs Benedict. We were not disappointed and even caved into Doug's recommendation on the Captain Crunch French Toast. The cuisine was prepared correctly and swiftly, served in sequence with a smile and simply had a very efficient and professional vibe - while keeping the flow of patrons at a steady pace. The price is approachable, the atmosphere social and the cuisine is solid. Give it a go!

We live on the east coast of Florida and recently spent a weekend in Tampa. I found this little eatery via YELP! when I searched for breakfast spots near the places we would be visiting and the hotel we were staying at. We had a few choices to pick from, so I showed my husband the menus of all the places and he decided upon Daily Eats! We came early (8:30) on a Saturday and were seated promptly by the friendly hostess. As time went on the place got a little more busy but not bad for a weekend. We examined the menu for a long time. It is not huge but there are plenty of interesting choices! Take time to look at he menu. There might be a hidden gem that you missed the first time through. Our food came quick enough and it was delicious! I had 2 scrambled eggs with cheesey bacon grits and an english muffin. The grits were amazing! Very cheesey and the bacon isn't overwhelming. My husband had french toast and was worried about having to use fake maple syrup. He ended up getting caramel pecan french toast, so he didn't need syrup. However, they do have REAL maple syrup for a small upcharge. We will not hesitate coming back to this location the next time we're in Tampa. Great tasting food for very reasonable prices. We were only able to try breafast, we would love to return later in the day to sample lunch/dinner and the shake menu.

Had several great experiences at Daily Eats the first one was at breakfast time. We did arrive a little towards brunch time about 11am. We waited outside in a covered, misting fan waiting area for about 10min. We were seated in a booth by the restrooms and I noticed the wall decor as soon as we sat down. They have some great deals on mimosas so I ordered several flavor which were all delicious. I ended up ordering the buttermilk pancakes and they were quite amazing and large. The server was really nice and attentive. Overall I had a great experience and will definitely be returning.

I have been going to my beloved Daily Eats for years now. I don't get to visit often but it's been my number one choice in SoHo for a while now and with good reason. I love the diner feel of this place and the food, OMG, the food!! They are very inventive and delicious. Right about this time of year, they have my favorite quesadilla with turkey, stuffing, Jack cheese and a little cranberry sauce that, as Liz Lemon would say, is amazeballs! I think they call it the Holi-Dilla. I also love their shredder bowls and my favorite is the Daily Eats Waldorf bowl with brown rice, tender roast chicken, celery, blue cheese, candied pecans, strawberries, a strawberry vinaigrette and chantilly dressing. It's to die for! I've also had their potato chip-crusted turkey burger and I humbly declare it the best turkey burger I've ever eaten. Any time of day is good to visit. They have healthy, delicious menu items too but if you have room to splurge, I highly recommend getting one of their whoopie pies for dessert. So good, I darn near wept. This place gets packed because it's so popular, but I've never had to wait too long. They have ample parking across the street too. The service has always been great with friendly, attentive servers. And most of the menu items are under ten bucks and some of the best local food around. Heck, I would rather go there than Berns that is just up the street and that is the truth. I salute you, D.E.!

Though the wait was about 25 minutes, it was Saturday so I guess that is no surprise. The food was great (pancakes were awesome!) and so was the service - our server was very accommodating and the manager even came over to welcome us since it was our first time there. He gave us a super yummy cookie As a Thank you for coming, which we enjoyed on the plane ride home. We plan to go back to the gulf beaches area soon and will definitely come back to DE!!

I was starving and it was 10:30 am on a Sunday. I knew we were going to get to Daily Eats as some churches were getting out of service, which meant there would be a wait, but I was willing to wait. We had about a 25 minute wait for a table but it was refreshing to stand outside under the misting sprinkler. (Just the perfect amount of mist! Enough to cool off but not get soaked! Kudos for that idea!) When we were seated we noticed the 'diner' music ever so faintly in the background. Nice to relax to! I had read about the Coconut French Toast, and I LOVE french toast so I thought it was only appropriate that I give it a try. It was delish! Perfectly cooked and just the right amount of sweet! I barely even used the maple syrup because it was so good even without it! I also ordered a side of oatmeal. It was pretty bland, and then I figured out that I should have ordered it with fruit in it. Lesson for next time! My husband had the Traditional Eggs Benedict. It was a little salty because of the ham, but other than that, it too was very tasty! He also had a side of potatoes. They had a wonderful seasoning on them, but could have been a tad bit warmer. We were a little disappointed in our drinks. I ordered 'fresh squeezed' orange juice and it was over $3 for a regular sized cup. That is way too expensive considering I can get a gallon of OJ at the store for $5. My husband ordered an iced coffee. The portion size for this was very large and possibly worth the $3 we paid for it. So, food prices were ok, but drink prices, not so much. Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely come back to try out one of the breakfast bowls. **update** We brought some friends back for dinner and we all had a different shredder bowl. I think the favorite of the bowls was the New York Blue. It had tons of flavor! We also ordered sweet potato fries and pickles for appetizers. Both were delish, but I would highly recommend the fries. They could even be for dessert!

Mandy C.
Loved it! First stop on our Tampa visit. It was a late Thursday morning, so not too busy. I ordered the "Monday Morning" which was egg whites, onions, turkey sausage, cheese on spinach. It was nice being able to order something healthy without having to ask for substitutions. It had a diner atmosphere with outdoor seating available. But still not much overall seating, so I can imagine the wait at a busy time on weekends. Family friendly, tons of healthy options and yummy food. I will be back when in Tampa!

I've been here many many times and I always bring visitors here! I've had omelets, French toast, eggs, bowls, chicken sandwiches, Mac and cheese, mimosas, coffee, and so much more. I love this place and I have never been disappointed! Expect a pretty long wait during peak breakfast or lunch times. I know it's not much to look at, but it's worth the wait! They also have breakfast all day, which is a HUGE plus! Add cheese to the grits and they are amazing! This is one of the two places I like grits. The loaded tots and the Memphis chicken sandwich with remoulade sauce are amazing!

I really love breakfast food so it's rare that I order lunch items when I go to brunch. The description of the Greek shredded salad bowl caught my eye and once the waiter talked it up, I had to get it. I made a good choice because the salad bowl was awesome - good sized portion with tons of flavorful ingredients on top of rice. I went with the shredded turkey, which I recommend because it's not processed deli meat but rather actual turkey breast. You know how some places skimp on the protein part of the salad? DailyEats does not commit this cardinal sin. I left feeling very full, but not painfully so. I do want to note that my friend got the potato chip encrusted turkey burger, of which I stole a bite. Usually, I find turkey burgers too dry for my liking, but this one was delicious and not dry at all.
Awesome experience tonight based on the exceptional service of our waitress Samantha and manager Laura. My wife and I darted in with our two boys 3.5 and 1.5 years of age who were ravenous and tired. Samantha clearly had great "E.Q." As she expertly scooped us up in a busy restaurant and got us to a table and didn't wait to get food/drink orders placed in a flash. While Samantha rocked that out behind the counter and hustled the beer, sangria, and apps to the table...with the 2x boys milk that is...Laura came over and was genuinely accommodating and making sure we had everything we needed. Was easy to see how the place was jamming efficiently with Samantha able to keep our chow and night expeditiously running and moving along by the skillful maneuvers of Laura leading the rest of the staff's charge and facilitating the well-oiled machine. We've been away from Daily Eats for a couple of months but we'll be back a lot more regularly now thnx to the great team of Laura and Samantha. Keep up the awesome work. Semper Fi, Dave

Just had brunch here while in town with my parents. Gotta say I'm pretty much in love with the place. It has an old time diner feel but with a modern vibe. Their entire menu looks fantastic and had I been more adventurous I would have gone for one of their bowls, a mix of eggs and savory ingredients in a large bowl or one of their Benedicts (apparently the Gobbler is a house favorite). You really can't go wrong on their menu. I ended up making a safe choice and went with a California omelette. It was a great mix of bacon, turkey and eggs stuffed with melted Swiss cheese and topped with some pretty delicious guac. I might be biased because I'm just obsessed with guac. Their Bloody Mary is a must have brunch drink. Very spicy and a decent amount of vodka, I felt amazing starting off my day. Next time I definitely need to splurge and cheat with Captain Crunch French Toast! What was I thinking trying to eat semi healthy??

I'm a big fan of Daily Eats. I've had numerous meals here and never found anything I didn't like. I have a friend from DC who insists we do a meal at Daily Eats every time he visits. Both brunch and dinner are fantastic, and you get lots of food for not much money. Looking at the menu, the most prominent option is the bowl selection. Daily Eats has a variety of bowls for both brunch and dinner. I recommend The Dougie bowl for brunch as you get to sample the whole grain pancakes which are some of the best anywhere. For dinner, you can choose between a full or half bowl. I'm a pretty big eater, and the half bowl is more than enough for me. Usually I'll get a side item, like the sweet potato fries, to go with a half bowl, and I'm more than full. The menu also includes a lot of other unique items like a potato chip turkey burger and cap'n crunch french toast. It definitely takes a few visits to try everything. The milkshake assortment is also impressive though I've never tried one. Parking is problematic during popular times since the restaurant is located next to Green Lemon, but parking is always a chore in Hyde Park. Also, unless you arrive really early, the wait for Sunday brunch can be pretty long for any party larger than two.

Very nice place. Very very busy. Everyone is nice. If you want breakfast please get their by 9. They change over to lunch by 1030. They home fries are very good but they will run out so get there early. We love the sangria.

Had breakfast here while in town because of the good reviews it had. The food was good, nothing that really blew our minds but it was fine. The grits were very good. Service was ok, took a little while to get our drinks and food and we never saw our waitress ever again. Some other girl came out and dropped off our ticket. Must have been slammed for them, but still...wasn't too impressed.

We decided to go here last minute after visiting the Florida Aquarium and it was a great decision. As soon as we pulled up we could see it was packed. We had to wait for 25 minutes for a table for 2 but it was well worth the wait. I ordered the potato chip crusted turkey burger with a spicy remoulade sauce and a side of cheese fries, and my mom ordered the bacon cheeseburger half size shredder bowl. My meal was one of the best I've ever had in Tampa. The turkey burger was juicy on the inside and crunchy without being oily on the outside, with a great tang from the remoulade. The cheese fries were hands down the best I've ever had. The fries were unique with a crunch that will never be matched, and the mix of cheese was perfect. My mom enjoyed her shredder bowl immensely. For dessert I got a brownie shake which was made with fresh brownies - it was so delicious! My mom had apple pie that was fresh, crisp, and very traditional (in the best way). I would not hesitate to go back and am looking forward to doing so next time I'm in Tampa!

I have to be honest, I fully intended to eat dinner at Datz this past Sunday but apparently they close at 3:00pm on Sundays. Cruising around Hyde Park my friend and I spotted Daily Eats and decided to check it out. It has a diner look and feel about it and we like diners. The staff was quick to greet us and seat us. We chose to eat outside, and our server Sydney was very knowledgeable about the menu. They serve Daily Eatsbreakfast, lunch and dinner all day and she told us about specials that were not on the menu. She suggested a quesadilla that was like having a mini Thanksgiving for an appetizer. We were a little skeptical so we ordered a half and split it. I won't do that again. I want one of my own, no more sharing. The turkey was moist and perfectly seasoned, as was the cornbread stuffing. The cheese brought it all together and there was a cranberry and sour cream dipping sauce. OMG! I was in fat kid heaven. I ordered the Memphis Southern Fried Chicken sandwich on Ciabbata bread and it came with a remoulade dipping sauce. That thing was huge. It was also delicious. It came with a side salad and I managed to eat half before surrendering and getting the to go box. My friend had an Angus burger and she likes it medium. I find that unless you ask for medium rare most burgers arrive overcooked. This one was a perfect medium. She said she was very happy with her meal as well. Our server checked on us regularly but was not intrusive. I felt the prices were reasonable with entrees averaging between 8 - 10 dollars. My only complaint was that it was chilly outside and the AC inside was just as bad if not worse. The servers were cold too. If only they could fix the temperature as well as they fix a plate of food. Oh well, next time I go I'll remember to bring a sweater. And there will be a next time. Daily Inside I usually take pictures of the places I eat and my order but the food was so good I forgot, thus the generic photos. Sorry! You got to try this place and let me know what you think

Drinks- 5 Stars Iced coffee was huge and pretty solid. They get bonus points for having Southern Tier on tap Service- 4 Stars Perfectly timed and friendly enough waitress. Value- 4 Stars A bunch of good food for the money. Atmosphere- 4 Stars Kinda dineresque in a good way.

I wasn't impressed. Service was slow, food barley warm when served. We went absolutely starving for breakfast, Normally when you are that hungry anything taste great. not the case., the eggs were very blah, crispy French toast were good but not filling enough to just have that, you really need edible eggs to go with. Was it "horrible "? ... No Was it "good"?...No Therefore 3 stars.. Would I return? Not by my suggestion but I'm sure since it's a local soho place one of my girls will persuade me and I will only hope it's better the 2nd time.

We visited Tampa and the hotel recommended this place to us on our first night. Thursday was less busy then the rest of the days, but the service was still amazing and the food was just as good. We liked it so much that we stopped by again on Friday. On this day, the hostess Kate was pretty rude to us, but after speaking to management, they expressed that the hostess was new and needed to work on her customer service skills. Weekend mornings are super busy, so plan to come extra early or be prepared to wait over an hour.

Regular here with my husband most Saturday mornings. It's amazing food in a great area. We're usually ones to go for the Mexican omelette (the vegetarian chili is amazing!) and it's become a joke with our regular servers that we're not allowed to order Mexicans. The last time I was in, I ran into my boss and sent her and her husband a plate of Cap'n Crunch French Toast A La Mode. She raved about it. Definitely will continue to make the Saturday breakfast pilgrimage.

Let me start out by saying I love this place and the food is amazing, the servers are fantastic... Typically I would've given this restaurant 5 stars hands down. After witnessing what I witnessed today while eating breakfast there by myself, I simple can not do that. I dined at the bar today with Lauren (waitress). She had a great personality and was extremely attentive. Things became a little chaotic when putting out food for I believe I heard them say table 11. Anyway the owner Raymond began expediting. I ordered a breakfast bowl as I do regularly with a grilled English muffin. I got the bowl first... It was delivered by another server who was sweet. Dark hair, braid and a black headband. She told me the English muffin would be right out... Minutes later Raymond stood in the window asking for someone to drop this, even though I was literally within maybe 4 steps of him. I received my English muffin ungrilled... I asked my sever if they knew what a grilled English muffin was and she said Raymond said it was too busy to grill it... Umm ok, that weird and extremely unprofessional given that I can see on the computer screen that there are only 6 tickets up... What bothered me was the fact that maybe 10-15 minutes prior to receiving my food my waitress Lauren was completely berated by this man Raymond in front of guest about putting her belonging on the side of the bar (which mind you was her station) he told her in front of guests to watch her attitude and do it. I was more than proud that she stuck up for herself... Because I probably would've punch him in his face and walked out. It was appalling. The owners were in a business meeting behind me... Word to the wise if you want to continue running successful business in Tampa get rid of Raymond, he has NO business working in restaurant. He's disrespectful, unprofessional, and so demoralizing of the upbeat character of that building it's insane. If you can't approach your boss in fear of being verbally assaulted, and belittled would you want someone like that working for you, let alone running your establishment!?! He needs to be 86ed!

I've now been here twice for breakfast...and I've left full and satisfied both times! Chose this place last week because I was celebrating something with a friend- and it's one of the only places you can get breakfast and alcohol :) He enjoyed his fair share (and then some) of mimosas. The place is kind of tiny- which is a little challenging while navigating a stroller/car seat combo. But, they were accommodating and let me choose whichever table would be easiest for me and the cumbersome car seat to get into. Both times I've eaten here, I've had the Bushkie Bowl which has egg whites, spinach, broccoli, bell peppers, red onion, and jack cheese. Don't let the egg whites fool you into thinking it's healthy and not delicious. Haha. But it makes me feel better about eating it. I enjoyed the grits (add cheese) but my friend didn't care for them. I think I'll opt for the potatoes as a side next time. Good diner atmosphere. But, on a weekend, expect to wait a while. :)

Best brunch place in Tampa. All the plates are around $7-12 and relatively HEALTHY. Yeah HEALTHY brunch place that's not overpriced?! I am sold. Wait is long on weekends but I think it's worth it. Service was terrific and food was awesome. Food is on little saltier side though. Parking is all street.

Finding a great place for breakfast can be a real challenge. Yelp has made it so much easier when stepping out of comfortable neighborhood. I had an eye doctor appointment at the Optic Shop and we decided to eat here for breakfast. It was amazing!!! The eggs benedict were by far the best I have ever had at a restaurant. The hollandaise sauce had a touch of a lemon flavor. As close to home made as you can get. The grits were very creamy and remained hot the entire time. I would highly recommend!

Katie A.
Came for Sunday brunch. Didn't have to wait to sit at the bar. The server was so helpful! I told her I couldn't have gluten so she walked me through every item on the menu that I could have and made recommendations. She was attentive and friendly even when the counter filled up with a half dozen more folks. The food was fresh and had lots of color. I will definitely check this place out again. I think next time I will try the Tijuana bowl. The guy next to me had it and I was jealous!

Berit M.
So far my favorite breakfast place in the area. Everything I've tried so far is amazing. Hands down best French toast i've ever had! California Omelette rocks and the eggs are always cooked perfectly. Def try a shake sometime too. Dougie is one of the best servers. Can't go wrong with Daily Eats!

I some how forgot to review this wonderful little gem. I apologize. What I really love is that I can take my dog with me, yeah I'm one of those people. In my defense she walks on her own, doesn't wear clothes(backpack doesn't count), and she is well mannered. Hell, she behaves better then some people's kids! My Boyfriends favorite is the NY blue bowl, with a side of tater haters. From breakfast favorites with a twist to one of the best Veggie burgers I've had and milkshakes made of Captain Crunch! They have a little bit of everything to satisfy anyone. Breakfast served anytime. I"m always a fan of that.

Daily Eats is one of those places I'm willing to go when other people want to - but it's never one of my suggestions. I think it's ok but definitely overrate in town. Have you seen the line to get a table on the weekend?!?! The food is pretty good. Their Mexican omelette is a standout item on their menu along with the French toast variations. I also like the grits. Outside of that, nothing has really wowed me. It's not bad, but it isn't amazing either. I'd say that most of my less than stellar feelings come from operational issues and problems with the service. First, their wait estimates can be VERY off. My group was once quoted a 10 minute wait, and it ended up being 40. I'm willing to allow some leeway in that in case people linger, but that was a gross understatement. Second, some of their waitstaff is friendly but some can be a bit snooty. Not sure what's up with that. This last thing is actually a long, rambling story. On New Years Day, I was there for brunch and ordered the aforementioned Mexican omelette with home fries. When it came, I did not have home fries - I had tater tots. I looked at one of the other tables, and another customer had home fries. I asked about the substitution was told they were done serving home fries. Huh??? Don't get me wrong; I'm down with tater tots, but I like home fries with breakfast. And what do they mean by done serving home fries? Come to find out, they ran out at about 10 when I was there. Kind of annoying, but not as annoying as making the substitution without asking me and just dropping off my food like it was how I'd ordered it. Nice try, but no. Not saying I wouldn't come back, but I'm also not counting the days until I do.

it doesn't appear that this place needs another great review, but I'll go ahead and give it one anyway. I've eaten here twice in the past two weeks and it's been awesome both times. It's jammed during lunch so we did wait a little bit for our food but it was totally worth it. The first time I dined, we had an AMAZING waitress. She was friendly and helpful and really on point. I had the cali bowl and the small size (they have a large option too) was perfect. The bowl was jam packed with food that tasted fresh and was filling. The brown rice was perfectly cooked and the hummus we started with was an excellent light appatizer. The great thing about this place is that they have so many healthy options in addition to their great amount of "cheat day" items. The second time I dined there was during lunch and we sat at the bar. The staff was again, super helpful and friendly, but the kitchen seemed slammed. It wasn't a big deal because we still got in and out in an hour. This time I ordered the BLT with tater tots. Ya gotta love a place that serves tots. My buddy ordered the fried chicken sandwich and was supremely impressed with it. All around yumminess. I can't wait to go back and try some of their breakfast items which are served all day - a big bonus in my book.

One of the many, many eateries along Howard and we ended up there on the bounce, having learned Hugo's now closes at 5 pm. Daily Eats is bright, lively and loud. Lots of customers coming through and very kid-friendly, hence high decibels echoing off all hard surfaces. The menu is extensive with lots of all-day breakfast options. Also plenty of shakes, burgers, wraps, shreds, etc. Very much enjoyed the chicken teriyaki ...and if the sauce comes from a jar...I want the jar too. Portions are smaller than most places, so no left-overs to go. Also had several sugar-free pie choices, and enjoyed the banana cream. Clearly a popular SoHo eating place, and convenient to the legendary Tiny Taps Tavern, which is dim, quiet and no-kids. Last night we enjoyed both variations.

The food was good, actually great. But upon first impression , the place seems like a great atmosphere, and I was quite impressed at first. But once entering this eatery , the wait was ridiculously long. As I waited for this so called famous good food, I noticed that their " flow" was poorly organized . As a very busy business owner myself, it's imperative to handle business flow with high priority. As a business grows and becomes more successful. you have to adapt and change with the increased business . This place has not adapted as of yet . If this great eatery would expand their size and staff, I truly believe they will reach new levels of success and possibly put other local completion out of business. But until then , no matter how great the food is, 30-45 minute wait ( no matter how amazing the food) in the 93 degree heat will affect customer retention in the long run. Food was great, staff was friendly, but overall I would not look forward to waiting in the the over crowded parking lot in the sun. Next time I will take my order to go!

My boyfriend and I absolutely loves this place. It has a modern, young, unique atmosphere. The cleanest bathrooms I've ever seen, and VERY friendly staff. I had the turkey hash and grits and the hash was very flavorful and tasted homemade and fresh. The grits were creamy like my mama makes em. My boyfriend had the carnivore and he cleaned his plate the coffee was excellent. Would DEF recommend to anyone looking for a cool little downtown spot for breakfast. We ate outside in the sunshine and loved it. I eat gluten free and their menu specified the items I could choose. LOVE that. The only thing we were missing was my order came out a little different than I specified and they fixed it right away. There wasn't any butter or jelly for my boyfriends toast.

Have lived within walking distance for a year. Take the kids every weekend and have informal breakfast meetings once a month or so. Has been excellent until about the past month. The wait staff has been awful. Things that used to be easy to request in the past are now "not allowed". "Oh, you can't have that bread for breakfast, it's only for lunch bs someone would have to go to the back to get it". Same damn toast I've been ordering for nine months. It seems a majority of the staff is there for a social function vs. taking care of customers. This morning the waitress's butt was literally hanging out of her shorts. I mean, literally and it wasn't anything anyone wanted to see. I used to tell everyone that it's the place to go, but it has been so bad we are going to start the search for a new weekend breakfast spot. Hard to believe a place could go from great to that bad in such a short time. Must have been a change in management. Hope it goes back the other way sometime soon.

Family just moved to Tampa area and we stopped in at Daily Eats because my girlfriend said it was great. This place is fantastic! From start to finish I was really impressed - we started with mimosas (blueberry and mango, $2 daily from 2-7) and chicken quesadillas. For our main course we had the Daily Eats burger (angus - $6, 2-7 daily, with added bacon, cheddar, and a fried egg over easy), and the New Mexico shredder bowl (with pork), while our kids tried the Mac'n'Cheese and. Every item (even the fries) was cooked/seasoned perfectly. We also had a second round of drinks (Florida Cracker Pale Ale and St. Pete's Mule, also very tasty). We finished with 2 shakes: Stay Puff'd (vanilla ice cream, toasted marshmallow, hot fudge) and Are U Peanuts (peanut butter, chocolate ice cream). Everything we had was top notch, far more than I ever expected when I walked into this little diner!

I always thought this place would look like an "old fashion dinner" with lots of fried food and was I wrong. Came here on a Sunday morning there was a long line of people waiting outside to be seated so I assumed that meant the food must be good or there is no other place open at this time. We decided to go on the wait list which was approximately 20-25 minutes. The wait to sit seemed shorter than the time we waited for the food but the food was great. I love that I can order just one piece of French toast or pancakes and not be forced to eat a full plate. I ordered one French Toast topped with chocolate chips (fantastic), the smoked salmon (not too salty) and a pink grapefruit mimosa. The waitress was very friendly and definitely knew the menu. great place for breakfast, the burger in the lunch menu was also good and if you like Bloody Mary's you should try theirs. I found this place to be very loud so if you're looking for a quiet, conversation place this may not be your to go spot.

This place was super packed when we came on a Friday morning. Fortunately we were still sat right away on the outside patio. The noise level for what it was wasn't too bad. The menu was amazing. Everything sounded so delicious so I tried their goat cheese, spinach and avocado omelette. Not impressed :-/ it was undercooked and flavorless. My bf got their bacon and eggs on a bed of cheese and tater tots. He didn't like it at all. The highlight of that meal was their OJ. The tater tots were good and I was thrilled to find they were GF, along with many other items on the menu. I may or may not try them again if I'm ever in the area. Maybe it was an off day from what I read in other posts.

We stopped by Daily Eats for breakfast while visiting family. I thought they had a pretty creative menu and the quality of everything that we ordered was great. The staff was a bit agressive and bordered on being rude. But they were attentive and prompt so it wasn't as big of a deal. Overall, we had a nice breakfast which was complimented by a bottle of champagne for mimosas.

Fatigue. Haziness. Zombie-like walk. Yes. Ann and I are hungover. Shameful, but true. Is the end near? Probably not, but if there is any consolation prize for a hangover, it is yummy breakfast and a mimosa. And what better place to get just that on a Saturday afternoon than Daily Eats? We're glad they stayed open despite a down computer system. I'm not sure what would have become of us if we hadn't had this chance to shovel delicious food into our stomachs like it is going out of style. And AWESOME food at that! Revenge is best served cold and over blueberries, so we took to teaching our bodies a lesson for reacting so disapprovingly to our excesses and ordered two delicious blueberry mimosas. No worries, they have your standard, plus a variety of fruit juice mixtures that will make your mouth water: cranberry apple mimosa. This delightful afternoon cocktail was light and refreshing, the perfect match for a breezy, 80-degree afternoon in Tampa.... continued on Dreaming Ingredients Food Blog.

What a great place for breakfast!!!! There were a lot of us and we all enjoyed our food!!! Best pancakes we've had in a LONG time!!!

Have had daily eats cater some lunches at the business I work at, but when I went with my husband to eat dinner waited over an hour for our order of mac and cheese and ahhi tuna before we finally left without eating. The waiter even kept saying our order was coming out next but We kept seeing huge tables that came after us get served and they would eat and even leave!!! Would love to try again but hubby was so angry about the service I doubt we'd ever go back.

We came here on Saturday for breakfast. Saw many reviews which stressed the importance of arriving by 9:30sh, which we heeded. As soon as were seated, folks were piling in and the wait began. Despite a small dining space, folks seemed to be seated in 30 minutes or less depending on party size. Our server Betsy was very personable, attentive and had good recommendations. We wanted to try a little of everything, so we ordered the Monday Morning(egg whites w/ red onions, turkey sausage, american cheese, on a bed of fresh spinach),The Dougie(chopped whole wheat buttermilk pancakes,egg whites, and turkey sausage, together in a bowl) and the Capt. Crunch crusted French Toast one with strawberries and one with peanut butter chips. I love PB, so this one was my fav. :) Can honestly say we enjoyed every morsel of everything we ordered! Especially the Captain Crunch French Toast.. who would have thought? Only thing I would change would be to saute the spinach in the Monday Morning. Another pleasant surprise was the comped mimosa for first time customers. Can not beat it! We will definitely be back on future Tampa visits because of the reasonable prices, creative menu and cool service.

The food here is really good. The buffalo chicken sandwich is the best I have ever had. Shredder bowls are delicious if you want a healthier meal. The temperature of mine never seems quite right. It should be layered warm and cool foods. Sometimes it's all just lukewarm. Still good tho. Prices are very reasonable. Service is ok. You get what you need but feel like an imposition. If they improved the servers attitudes and customer service skills this place would be worth the wait you'll have to endure before you're seated.

Very good, fun food. They have an awesome breakfast menu and if you have a sweet tooth I would definitely go for the Captain Crunch French Toast or their Chai Shake. If you are in for lunch their shredder bowls are definitely a good option. Portions are big even for a hungry eater like me so just keep that in mind when ordering the 1/2 or full portions. Serving staff is rad and very knowledgable, just try to stay away on a Sunday lunch, no reservations equals an hour wait. This restaurant also has two sister restaurants on Howard: The Lodge and The Lime; Daily Eats is by far the most original but the other two are worth noting.

Another reviewer said, "you can go to any restaurant in the Ciccio's Restaurant Group and I guarantee you'll enjoy your meal" and that is seriously the truth. Daily Eats was a fabulous addition to Soho, the patio is a great place to eat, the food is amazing, and the staff is great! Its simple food done right and leaves your soul happier. And its so not even in the same universe as IHOP... please... Oh and their patio is doggy friendly!!

During our last trip to Tampa we asked the hotel staff for a good place, close by, to grab breakfast. When she recommended the local Waffle House, out came my trusty Yelp app with the quickness! Tampa had to offer more than a Waffle House, right?? We stumbled upon Daily Eats, and after reading a few reviews decided to check it out. As we drove by we noticed a decent sized crowd waiting outside. With the fear of Waffle House in us, we decided we would just wait it out. When we put our name in, the hostess said there was plenty of outdoor seating available if we didn't want to wait for a spot inside. Heck yeah! After all, we were still trying to thaw after a very snowy New England winter. Everything on the menu looked great! I decided to try the Tijuana breakfast bowl which consisted of scrambled eggs, vegetable chili, pepper jack cheese and guac served over home fries. Sometimes bowls like this are just a hodgepodge of ingredients fighting for space, and in the end everything just beings to taste like one singular overpowering item. Not this bowl!! There were the perfect amounts of everything, so each bite was a little different and very delicious. All the flavors played very well together, and nothing was overpowering. Next time we're in Tampa, we'll be back for sure!

It was okay. Wasn't thrilled with the menu. Sort of tasted like IHOP. Not bad, but expected a bit more. The cafe latte was salty. They said that the machine is hit or miss with making them. It was taken off and another drink was brought out, no questions which was decent. I got the french toast and egg bowl. It was okay. Service was good. If you're around and haven't tried it, I guess try it out. It does get busy though.

Daily Eats is a great place for breakfast. If your schedule allows you to go on the weekday, then I definitely recommend it. It is quite and relaxing. If you can only go on the weekend, then definitely get there before 9am! It is a small restaurant, and gets incredibly busy the later that it gets. Most of the waiting is all outside, so it can get pretty hot in the summer months. They have big booths (3-4) that can accomodate big groups, so it is a fun place to come with friends. The menu is pretty varied, and has a lot of good items on it. I always like the Mexican breakfast bowl. It is really tasty, and always fills me up. The breakfast sandwiches are a good way to go as well if you are on a budget. The service is never crazy good, but at breakfast I am usually a bit more laid back than I am at dinner anyhow. Get a cup of coffee and hang out. There are tv's inside too, so you can catch up on the news from last night, or highlights from last night's game on ESPN.

Another place I've gotten hooked on. Had several friends that would frequent here for breakfast and finally got the chance to join. I love the item names on the menu and the food is nothing short of delicious. Whether you are health-conscious or a foodie, you won't be disappointed. As with many South Tampa restaurants, parking can get tricky depending on what time you go. Still worth the wait and the money.

This place is a must go! The good is so yummy, great pricing, and excellent staff! I had the salad bowel ( rice and salad) it comes in 2 sizes and the fried pickles. I have nothing bad to say. I went another time with a big party, still perfect service and no hassle splitting the check! Nothing but great times and great food!

Last saturday morning Bill and I were in desperate need for breakfast food!!! Initially, we set out to try Pinky's however, there were literally no parking spaces in sight and there was a line out the door so we decided to look elsewhere. I remembered reading really good reviews about Daily Eats so we ventured over to the soho area! Upon arrival, there looked to be a fairly long wait however, we were at our table in about 15 minutes. They have a really nice covered area so that you can wait outside which sprays mist to keep the heat from being unbearable! My biggest complaint with Daily Eats is that the space is very small and we sat in a booth right next to another booth and the guy next to me was literally talking SO loud that I could barely hear myself THINK let alone carry on a conversation with my man. But I digress! Lets move on to the food, shall we? Bill and I both started with a cantaloupe mimosa! I really enjoyed it but, I don't think it was Bill's thing. No fault to Daily Eats he is just not a champagne fan. As for food, I had a omelet made with half egg whites and my choice of vegetables with home fries and it was amazing!! I absolutely loved the potatoes. Sometimes at restaurants the home fries can be very bland and tasteless but not here! I highly recommend them. Bill got the "dan" sandwich and he had no complaints :) We will definitely be back!

Food was great! Service was great. The wait was ridiculous!! I don't know if I would go back because of the wait and there is no where to wait everyone was just standing outside or where everyone was eating. Parking was also a nightmare.

I had about 30 minutes before my morning meeting in Tampa. I was STARVING and looking for a great breakfast option that would be filling, healthy, and relatively quick! On to the Daily Eats! I sidled up to the bar, and had a mug of coffee in my hand in no time. I ordered the Raymond - egg whites, spinach, tomatoes, and cheese on toasted multi grain bread. DELICIOUS. I also had a side of fruit to go with! The guy behind the counter was AWESOME. And fun and friendly. I wish I had more time to stay and savor my food, but had to run out pretty quickly. My breakfast was perfect, and I loved the laid back atmosphere of the place!

Breakfast at night! What more can you ask for. Even with that, I ordered other things on the menu. Starting out, tried the Chili Cheese Fries. They were great, but in a pool of cheese not so appetizing. For cheese lovers, they will be in love, but not so much for me. Nonetheless try a small order for around two people. The blackened chicken on the daily special menu was wonderful. It was so spicy, which is what I love. I have never had such a great level of spice other than at a Thai restaurant. I definitely recommend it. The location is great as you can take a seat outside, enjoy the weather and people watch. Will definitely try once again and will have breakfast at night!

Just stumbled across this place. The service was amazing. Very fun atmosphere. Excellent, diverse menu. I'm an eggs Benedict fan and they had many varieties. I had the Broad St. Bully, which was similar to a Philly Steak and Cheese Benedict Style. I had Cheese grits on the side and they were great too. My husband got a breakfast bowl (Steak and Eggs) which he really enjoyed. He ordered a side of Crunchy French Toast (made with Cap'n Crunch) and it was pretty awesome. We'll definitely be going back!

I let Yelp help me find a place for breakfast while in Tampa and I was not disappointed. Tried the Oreo cookie french toast and the chocolate chip pancakes (yes I eat like a 4 yr old). While I was most looking forward to the french toast I actually liked the chocolate chip pancakes the best. I also tried the fresh squeezed OJ which turned out to be almost $4 - it was good... just not that good For the two of us breakfast ran about $30 which is way to much for breakfast... that being said... our bill could have been much less had we known how to order. The plates were huge and we left about half of our food. If you go as a couple and want the pancakes just split a plate, grab a side of turkey sausage and skip the OJ and go with the coffee which was also delicious - you can easily get out of there for around 15 bucks for two people which isn't too bad. A little loud when we went though thanks to a couple of different screaming children but I won't let that effect my rating since that really isn't anyone's fault I would like to go back to try some of the breakfast bowls. Also should note there was no wait when we got there around 9am on a Saturday but the place started filling up shortly after we got there.

For breakfast, Daily Eats seems about a dollar or two overpriced. It's a typical breakfast diner, you'll get a solid meal, decent coffee. Service was good, my coffee cup never got near empty (and I drink a lot of coffee). Unfortunately, my girlfriend's meal was lukewarm. Lukewarm eggs are pretty gross, right? My Carnivore omelet was solid and my grits were pretty yummy. Both of our meals were about $8.50 each. Based on the quality compared to other diners in the area, $7.00 would be more appropriate. Decent enough that I'll go again. Average enough that I won't be rushing there.

So.... Here's the thing about this place. It used to be Jim Strickland's Old meeting house, where Harold would scoop you up a double cone of their home made icecream - something he did when my dad was a kid and was still doing when I was in college.... Sadly, Jim retired and sold the joint to Matthew Hoffman, who decided to 'update' the place and quickly ruined it. Just because your dad is a successful developer, does not mean you have a freaking clue what to do with an institution. Then - while I was out of town at grad school... this new team took over and upped the ante. Well. Yes they did. After months of NOT trying the place (still seething about Old Meeting House) I decided to pop in and give it a shot. The menu is deceptively simple - I went with an angus burger (at my server's suggestion) on a cibiatta roll. Added bleu cheese, red onions and lettuce. Dipped on the fries in favor of a salad. Still expecting fail. I wanted to hate the place. I was wrong. very wrong. The burger was outstanding. Top notch. DELICIOUS. The salad was chopped, with a house vinaigrette that made my taste buds very happy. Well. Here I was all ready to be mean, and the food was so good all I can do is smile and tell you that it took a very long time to eat that gigantic superb burger. Only cons: The open door (yeah, the weather is 'ok' but outside traffic noise is NOT a win, sorry) made the meal a very noisy event, even at 2 pm on a Monday. My server seemed anxious for me to finish (end of shift maybe? that was kind of annoying) and the burger was not pink in the middle like I asked for. Still tasty, but not cooked as directed. With tax and tip, 14 bucks for lunch. Not cheap, but way better than I imagined.

You can call me a breakfast connoisseur. If there is a good breakfast in the city, I will seek it out and destroy my diet. Since discovering all that Soho has to offer, I decided I want to live there. This is one more reason why. I loved this cute little new-aged dinner. The menu was pretty extensive and the food was simply delicious. I couldn't ask for anything more. Oh yeah... and the prices are reasonable. Just to say what I got both times. And by both, I mean that I went there twice in a week because I was so happy the first time. First time I got an omelet loaded with veggies and a side of potatoes. The omelet was fluffy and packed full of veggies. The side of potatoes were "soo good you don't need ketchup." I stole that direct quote from my sister. Second visit, I got the Broad St. Bully Benedict., which is an eggs benedict with hollandaise sauce, shaved sirloin, american cheese, caramelized onions and mushrooms. My sister got the New York Benedict which was an eggs benedict with smoked salmon, chive cream cheese, and hollandaise sauce. Perfecto. The place had a nice crowd around 1-2 pm on a saturday, and I'm sure its even busier earlier in the day on the weekend. Either way, it's worth the wait and the visit. This place has something for everyone, whether your watching your calories, looking for greasy-spoon type food, or just something new. Good for the entire family and has a great outdoor seating area.

I had an informal business breakfast here last week and have to say that the food and service were very good. Since I walk past the place all the time and it's constantly busy I knew there must be something to it. Seeing Nicole's photos of Sunday Brunch made it inevitable I would try the place out anyway. If you've never been, Daily Eats is a diner style place right along S. Howard Avenue with both indoor and outdoor seating. There's a classic counter to sit at - it should remind you of any number of roadside diners.. although a cleaner, friendlier version. I highly recommend getting one of the Breakfast Bowls. You can get omelets anywhere, but my Tijuana Bowl with eggs, salsa and guacamole was unique and about as tasty a breakfast meal as you can find. It's hard to find a place good enough to meet clients or business contacts for breakfast, at least where the average age is under 65. This is definitely the spot.

So when you have to go speak somewhere downtown at 8 am when you're used to rolling out of the rack about 9:30 every morning, the first thing you think is "yikes, that's early and that sucks." But when the second thought is "at least I'll be done in time to get to Daily Eats for breakfast," that should give you some indication of how good this place is. I got the carnivore omelet. I always get the carnivore omelet. Everything else on the menu could be written in sanskrit and it wouldn't make a difference to my dining experience. Ham, sausage, cheese, bacon, and brought to your table quickly always by a waitress that's attentive without being pushy. But what makes it a 5 star experience is the home fries that are marinated in pure joy and love. They are quite amazing, and for some reason much tastier than the ones you get everywhere else on planet earth, and yes I just argued that they they are the world's greatest home fries. Oh, and now they serve Coke Zero. Awesomeness unlocked!

I was in Tampa for the first time in forever this past week, and went to the best place I know for restaurant recomendations...YELP...so this place came up. Off I go placing the address in the GPS..props to this place being on the corner and having ample parking spaces around. I decided to sit outside and enjoy the weather on a cool afternoon. I sat for a bit, until the waitress finally greeted me. I placed my order fairly quickly (a BLT with tater-tots..I LOVE that they even offer tater tots!) The order came out promptly. So everything is going fine right?? Then...BOOM..I don't see the waitress again for like 20 minutes! WTH? All wasn't lost though..she returned finally and apologized for not being attentive..so I wasn't too bent out of shape about it..overall..nice place..reminds me of boutique cafes in NYC..I may return next time I'm in town and try out their breakfast..

Awesome spot! Came here on vacation in Tampa for brunch/lunch with friends. Had the strawberry salad and 3 bean veggie chili. I loved them both. My hubby and friends ordered the pancakes, eggs benedict, and patty melt. Everyone really enjoyed their food and our waitress was awesome! I know where to come for a great breakfast or lunch in Tampa!

Last Sunday Scott turned to me and said, "Entertain me, monkey!" No, no, that's a joke, but we did have a little trouble deciding what we wanted to do. Most of our lives together revolve around food. What to eat, where to eat, how long it will take to get to the places we do eat, etc. So I grabbed my Yelp! bookmarks list and started naming breakfast/brunch restaurants I had thought about trying over the two years I've been collecting. We skimmed over a few in Clearwater and St. Pete, but there was a gay pride festival going on which we feared would end up keeping us waiting for hours and hours. Instead we settled on Daily Eats in Tampa. I knew I had never been and Scott thought he hadn't (turns out when we pulled in he realized he had, but oh well). Reviews looked good and it wasn't a huge distance. The place was packed! We chose to sit outside on the island bar facing the street. We started with grapefruit mimosas (decliiiious!!) and each had one of the special breakfast bowls. I with "The Boot": Scrambled eggs with pepperocini, kalamata olives, green peppers, diced tomatoes, and feta cheese on a bed of fresh spinach (pictured first); and Scott with "The Tijuana": Eggs scrambled with vegetable chili, shredded pepperjack and guacamole, served over homefries (pictured second). I have to say I think I preferred his. I added jalapenos to mine, but they were pickled and just didn't have the kick I was looking for. Also, the feta doesn't melt and there was no "sauce", whereas his had the chili, guacamole and cheese. Either way, they were both delicious and we definitely polished them off! I'd go back again and would like to see what the lunch and dinner menus have to offer. It was a great day.

Our family has eaten here on a Sunday AM and Monday PM. The food is good and consistent, service is quick and efficient, even though they are really busy. I had an omelet that was very tasty on Sunday and a juicy, bison burger on Monday - the sweet potato fries were AWESOME and a nice treat since I do not eat regular fries!

Seriously, best little place to eat in south tampa. It's just a bike ride from us, and we love it. Sometimes I'll just grab a cup of coffee to go, or we will get milkshakes to go; all of the servers are super sweet, and it never takes a long time to get our food. Speaking of the food, just AMAZING. Literally, everything on the menu is awesome. They are very accommodating to my fiancee who is a vegetarian, and we sometimes eat there 3+ times a week.

My boyfriend and I went here for a midday breakfast on a Friday- it was busy, but not overcrowded. John was our waiter- attentive and great with recommendations (as well as easy on the eyes). He got the bacon and eggs bowl (which was delicious, and perfect hangover food- eggs, bacon, and cheese served over tater tots). I went with the somewhat healthier egg whites, sausage, and onion served over spinach. I wasn't thrilled with the taste (there just wasn't much taste to be had with the ingredient list), but I put hot sauce on it to add flavor. Don't get me wrong- the bowl was healthy, which I was looking for, and very well put together, but I just had hoped that they'd add something for pizzazz. We also ordered a side of the crunch French toast, and it was great. Some of the best French toast I've ever had- so good, in fact, that I'm going to try and re-create it at home some rainy Sunday. Overall, the place was great, with excellent servers, a full and appetizing menu, and a really good atmosphere. I'd definitely return next time I'm in Tampa.

This place gets really busy on a Sunday morning with hungover South Tampa-ites, so the wait for a table can be long and the service can be verrrry slow, but the menu is creative. I had a small bowl of oatmeal with banana, blueberries, and honeyed pecans and the Lox Breakfast Bowl. I really enjoyed the oatmeal but didn't eat too much of the Lox bowl. It was a little too savory for my taste, and I think the eggs were a bit overcooked. I'd try this place again though and order the coconut crusted French toast.

Nothing better than their "Monday Morning"...soooo good. Great menu and caters to the health conscious which I like. It's kind of Tampa's version of a diner. You have to wait a few minutes on weekend mornings as it's full of hungover people...but the wait is not too bad.

THE BEST POTATO CHIP ENCRUSTED TURKEY BURGER ON THE FACE OF THE EARTH! The staff is always great. I have never had anything that I didn't care for here. The patio is a nice place to sit, I prefer it over the inside! Now back to that turkey burger! It is lip smakin, finger lickin, slap your momma good!

Holy Bowly! This is eggsactly the kind of place you want to spend a time like Gasparilla (see what I did there?) If you could have a dream and in that dream you imagine you're on death row and you get one last meal. Well obviously you're going to pick steak, potatoes, and eggs. Well if that happened to you, then you're in luck! Because Daily Eats has just that. The bowls are tremendous whether you get the egg bowls in the morning or the mac n cheese bowls at night. Great combinations, great staff, great atmosphere. All around great place If you're in Tampa and you're near Daily Eats, do yourself a favour and stop in and try it.

Today I'm writing a review to say what an amazing place daily eats it is. Last month was my birthday and one of my friends asked where I wanted to go even though I had a bunch of free dinner options I specifically knew I wanted to go to daily eats no matter what the price because their food is just amazing. As soon as we got there we were greeted by a fairly new employee named KB and as soon as he saw my pin that said it was my birthday he was super nice and warm and friendly and made us feel so welcome and even though he didn't know us he treated us like family. My birthday experience got significantly better when we discovered that our server would be my favorite server, Lauren. I met her about 9 months ago on my first visit to the restaurant and she gave us amazing service and treated me like family as well as anybody else I've ever brought to this restaurant. The food is tasty and the food is so tasty and good. My personal favorite is the Gigante breakfast with banana pancakes and fresh fruit my friends regular favorite is the fiesta cheesy mac and we both love the blueberry mimosas. I write this today as we're getting ready to go in and enjoy another wonderful meal and experience at Daily Eats. If you want great food, fabulous service and just a really awesome experience at a great place that serves breakfast anytime go to Daily Eats!

I stopped here for lunch yesterday when I was in town for work. I was in the mood for a salad or breakfast food, so I thought it looked liked a good choice because it had good ratings, and was in a cute & also convenient area. It was definitely a modern diner and the menu looked pretty good. However, 3 things bummed me out: 1) They don't serve breakfast items for lunch. In my opinion, if you call yourself a diner, breakfast items should always be available. 2) For all their interesting "bowl" items, none of them were vegetarian. 3) The one salad that caught my attention was almost $11. I think that's a little steep for a lunch salad with no animals in it. That being said, I ended up ordering the veggie burger with tater tots, and it was definitely the best veggie burger AND tater tots I've ever had! If I lived in Tampa, I would probably go back just for that. :)

I was visiting from out of town, and listened to my fellow Yelpers on this one. I'm glad I did. I'm only giving it three stars because the food wasn't knock-your-socks-off amazing, but I really liked the ambiance. It's just a nice place to sit, enjoy your meal, and people watch or chat with a friend. I went there for both breakfast (regular pancakes and eggs) and lunch (burger with really good sweet potato fries drizzled with honey -- some of the best I've tasted, actually). The outdoor seating is a really narrow space, but there were a couple of tables available both times I was there. It's a great place to chill. Overall, I'd visit Daily Eats again if I'm back in town for a decent, casual dining experience.

Pace C.
Service really brought down the stars here. While every server was extremely nice, they fail to take your order in a timely fashion, check up on you, or hand you the bill. Any place where you have to flag down a server is not "great" service. Food is good. French Toast is amazing and makes you want to go back. Veggie Burger is also highly recommended and homemade. It's a cool little place to eat, casual and kind of reminds me of a city diner you would find in the village. I would still revisit, especially for the French Toast.

Located in Hyde Park, this was a great recommend by the hotel for breakfast. Had the Monday Morning and the wife had The Lox. These were called breakfast bowls where it was like a scramble in a bowl. Mine was very tasty especially with some Cholula. First time customers like us were also getting a free scoop of ice cream. Outside seating is dog friendly as we saw a few locals eating with their dogs.

Another nice visit, with Robyn as our hostess. She's awesome. My portable lunch mate enjoyed Mac and cheese and I had the mahi mahi sandwich, both were very nice.

My husband and I have been searching throughout the Tampa Bay area looking for that perfect burger .. I do believe we have a winner ..It was juicy, full of flavor and it was cooked right the first time. Our server Stephanie was also a delight I've never had a manager welcome us like family. I will definitely be going back. Next time I'll try the Gourmet Mac N Cheese :-)

Had to wait a bit on Memorial Day, but it was worth it! The cafe latte was out of this world. Brought some friends from out of town and everyone loved it. Even my two little girls ate the whole wheat pancakes! Everyone ordered a different version of the Eggs Benedict and everyone was happy. Make sure to get the bacon and cheese grits! So worth it!

Went for dinner on the advice of a friend. When I saw the following on top of the daily specials, I knew I had to try it. Holidilla - Flour tortilla filled with stuffing, gravy and turkey. Served quesadilla style with a side of cranberry sour cream. And it was excellent. Funky place, in a lightly funky part of town. Wasn't terribly busy so no wait issues, and the wait staff was friendly and quick, contrary to some of the other reviews. Overall, a positive experience made memorable by a nice surprise of a meal.

I can only comment on breakfast. After a lame dining experience at the Refinery previous night for all of us, I was hoping to make up for it with breakfast. We were extremely happy with our breakfast choices. The fact that there are multiple takes on Eggs Benedict made me very happy. The omelettes were outstanding as well. I highly recommend opting for the cheesy bacon grits!

So I'm new to the area and in dire need of a go to brunch place. Nothing worse than an early weekend morning with no place to go... I tried the Gigante and my brunch date had some sort of shredded salad concoction... The Gigante was what I had to order (no fancy egg white, guacamole, pan steamed breakfast for me) two eggs, two strips of bacon, two pieces of toast, home fries and a short stack of pancakes. The eggs were good and the bacon was tasty, although I think for the $9-10 I payed for it I'd like to have 3-4 strips of bacon. Pancakes were actually spectacular so all in all I was pretty content with the meal. The salad was good, nice combo of flavors although could have used a bit more focus... Will go again, bit not ready to call this my go to place yet.

After reading the reviews, I decided to stop in for a late breakfast. After finding them by searching for "breakfast" and seeing mentions of breakfast and brunch, I was disappointed to find that they had already stopped serving breakfast when I arrived around 11:00am. Fortunately, their 2-egg sandwich is served all day, so that's what I ordered. The sandwich was excellent, and I could see myself eating here again. I do agree with some of the other reviewers though. This is a small place, and it can get busy and crowded very fast. I'm not sure that I'd wait very long to eat here.

Yum! The food is fantastic. I dont remember what it is called, but I got the eggs on a bagel with lox on top. Huge portions, beyond friendly service, and they were more than accomodating when we came in with a high chair needing baby. They even gave us a free cookie, just because. Reasonable prices, great atmosphere, creative and tasty food... its no wonder this place is famous.

I LOVE Daily Eats! Since breakfast is my favorite thing in the world I have only ordered things off the breakfast menu, but the lunch food looks awesome too (one day I will try the lunch menu, but for now I just can't resist their b-fast food) .....ANYWAYS! I haven't had anything at DE that I didn't love. Some things I have had the pleasure of tasting and would recommend.... - Whole wheat pancakes: delicious. Better than your average pancake. Has a distinct flavor and texture exclusive to DE and the hint of cinnamon really makes them tasty. I get at least 1 EVERY time I eat here. - Captain crunch french toast: I'm a team pancake person so given the choice between Ftoast and Pcakes I will always go with the cakes HOWEVER, this was the best french toast I have ever had in my life. Its like a desert. Reminds me of funnel cake. Just try it. - Oatmeal: the oatmeal is steel cut oats and made with just water so its actually good for you unlike some places that taint the seemingly healthy choice with sugars, butter, and full fat dairy. I loved it. - Omelets: Again these are another fantastic choice. Can't go wrong here. - Scrambled egg whites: they don't skimp out on the portion, which can sometimes happen when ordering egg whites. - Wheat toast: Better than your average slice of bread like at some places. Quality stuff. the only things that could be improved are: - The coffee: nothing special - The b-fast bowls: Every time someone in our party orders one it is disappointing. The portion of food is small and they seem thrown together...but not in a good way, in a hurried routine way. Personally I think they are a bit of a rip off, which leads to... - The prices: sometimes I want to mix and match to try new things and that will cost a fortune here. Add ons can also add up quickly. Great food and atmosphere. The people that work there really care about preserving the stellar reputation. Overall solid place.

We were referred here from anyone and everyone in the area about good diner breakfasts. Every place I've ever been the first thing that happens when you sit down is that magical coffee that you didn't make at home. That coffee that starts everything- after 15 minutes of sitting at a booth right next to the exit from the kitchen and getting ready to leave, the coffee finally came. We watched 8 people behind the counter ignore us the entire time waiting for that wonderful morning coffee. Breakfast was OK, nothing to roll over and die for and the whole "bowl" feeding that's being done has to stop, or just put the contents between a couple of slices of bread and make a breakfast sandwich. Cereal goes in a bowl, soup goes in a bowl..etc. Service was eh. Not going back, it's a cute little place but the food isn't enough to bring me back.

I came in on my lunch break as I did not have much time or money to spare. I ordered the French Toast and the waitress asked "Capt'n Krunch style or plain?" To my surprise they have regular french toast with mixed in Capt'n Krunch cereal. This combination of awesomeness adds a crunchy texture to the already perfectly mixed french toast batter. I would recommend anyone with a sweet tooth try this. Service was quick, friendly, and affordable. Just pop up on the stool at the counter and watch the magic in the kitchen happen!

I liked the concept, and my co-diners really enjoyed, but I just ordered the wrong stuff, cause I couldn't finish anything other than my milkshake (worth a trip just for those, however). My bbq turkey sandwich was way too spicy and my salad was way too sad - limp lettuce drowning in over vinegary dressing. I would go back for a second try, however, because I thought the menu was promising.

This place is exactly what I want a breakfast place to be: staffed by friendly people who pour you coffee really quickly; offering a vast array of not only the sweet and savory breakfast options, but also sweet/savory combinations (my favorite is the Dougie, which features both pancakes and eggs-n-sausage);is reasonably priced; has free wi-fi; and is in my neighborhood. It gets crowded here, but that's the price you pay.

my review stays the same, just want to point out that the awesome veggie burger is not available on the weekend brunch menu. i went there the other weekend craving it bad and found out they didn't have it. bummer cause it's good. i ended up with a bowl of chili and a plate of fries. definitely a worthy substitute, but don't want anyone to be led astray. also, we went on a beautiful, spring tampa morning and sat outside. copious outdoor seating is another plus for this place.

We were in Tampa for my Aunt and Uncle's 60th wedding anniversary and needed a good breakfast place on Sunday. We found this on Yelp and were very impressed. Absolutely delicious food, friendly service and traditional diner atmosphere. We went early and had no wait.

Take this eatery for exactly what it is: small, and therefore expect a wait during busy hours, but those who love a creative but simple menu will really appreciate Daily Eats for just that: daily eats. Feel at home, have a scoop of French Toast ice cream after a somewhat educated version of the Gyro, and then come back to this tiny place for something completely different, like Baja Mac and Cheese with sweet potato fries and a creamy chai. Just cool. :)

The Mexican omelet was awesome! A friend and I shared it with the potatoes and left happy. Seating was right away and loved that we could sit outside. Mimosas were a bit pricey for brunch but the blueberry was different and good.

The Only Place to Have the Brunch of Shame. Where good looking patrons and staff meet over healthy dishes. Go just before 11:30am so you can order full breakfast, and then put in a sweet potato fries order at 11:30am. Sit at the bar or wait in line. Newspaper stand available.

I only had the sundaes here and I'll be coming back for more! the dutch chocolate with vanilla bean was to die for. also the price is right, a little over $3 for 2 large scoops toppings. seating is a little tight but there are fans outside that'll help keep you cool. waitstaff was attentive and polite.

This place was okay, nothing amazing though. I had the coconut crusted french toast based on a recommendation here on Yelp. It was good, but again, nothing particularly spectacular. I gave this place three stars since nothing really wowed me, but I almost gave it two based purely on the appalling poached eggs on their eggs benedict. I'm an eggs benedict fan, I usually order it, but I'm glad I went with the french toast this time. The menu has 5 or 6 different types of eggs benedict so you'd think they'd be pretty good--not so. Two others in my party ordered different versions and both received the worst poached eggs I've ever seen in a restaurant. They looked like they had been cooked in molds (red flag number one) and when cut into they were completely overcooked! No runny yolk at all--on either plate of eggs benedict. One of the eggs benedicts that we ordered was a chicken and mushroom version that was quite good if you completely ignored the overcooked eggs. The other version was the florentine, which really needed the runny egg yolk to complete the flavor. But seriously, it's not that hard to poach an egg properly once you've got the hang of it--any restaurant chef should be capable of it and if your chefs can't poach eggs well, then you probably shouldn't even offer eggs benedict on your menu. Just a thought.

Pretty decent diner food from the Ciccio and Tony's peeps. Good fish sandwiches, good BLT's, good soup, really tasty fries and average service. Unfortunately the place is super loud, which would be alright if it weren't so cramped. There are better greasy spoon's out there.

Good food, but way too much. I've never finished one of their breakfasts.

Matt S.
Very average in my opinion. Food is decent, but the service can be very slow. Location is great, but that creates long lines of hungover people on weekend mornings. Many other choices for breakfast in the area without the wait. I've never eaten there any other time of day besides for breakfast so I wouldn't know how their other food stacks up.

Marcos O.
Nice location, but their food really is not up to par. They need to work on their ingredients or something. Your better off going next door to The Lime

Gertie O.
I've been to Daily Eats several times but haven't in back awhile... I like the open, diner like feeling of the place and the 'bowls' are good but the staff can be aloof and the food seems slapped together. A little tweaking and it would be a better experience-- better service, deep clean the floors under the booths and put a little more care into making the food.

My favorite breakfast place in Tampa. Casual diner atmosphere with really good food. Their French Toast is thick cut and outstanding. Eggs Benedict is available in multiple variations and is simply awesome. So many interesting menu items to choose from, it never gets old.

Ryan B.
The food is still as good as usual, but the service is spotty at best these days. Had to track down wait staff to give our order. Got food and one of us had missing parts to his breakfast. I love coming here, but no that it's best to come during the week for breakfast.

Anish Z.
Was looking for a good brunch spot and it this fits the bill. Try the coconut crusted French toast. We had the Tijuana bowl overflowing with eggs home fries and guauc. Wait time was misquoted but I think one of the servers were trying to help and underestimated the time. Cute hostess made it easier to bear. I hadn't drank the night before but it was obvious there were lots of other trying to fix a hangover with a mimosa and it seemed to have worked

It's an upscale breakfast joint with decent food. With that said, it's not worth an hour's wait.

Inventive menu and fresh tasting ingredients. That's the best I can say. Anytime you'd be likely to want to eat there, it is likely to be packed. usually that's a good sign but in this tiny diner it is not. They are really not set up or capable of handling the large crowds that come in there. It's far too crowded and noisy, and wait staff is too busy to be as attentive as is needed. My husband ordered the Tijuana bowl and as it is full of spiciness his drinking glass should have been a priority, but it stayed empty a long time, more than once. I couldn't fault the waitress too much, she was obviously very busy, but they obviously need more waitstaff at that restaurant. The food didn't take too long and it tasted pretty good. However I was SHOCKED at some of the prices I saw when our check came. $4.50 for two soda's (especially bothersome because our glass was empty and stayed that way so often.) $1.00 dollar extra for a TINY cup of hollandaise (usually when you order something like that the waitress would tell you there is a dollar upcharge but I didn't find out until our check came). There were a few more extra charges on our bill that didn't please me at all. Not to mention 8.50 for an omelette was pushing it a little in the first place. The taste of the food gets an A+ but the atmosphere, service, and prices get a D at best.

Just an overall awesome experiance. The interior takes you back a few decades. The staff is beyond friendly. Food is awesome. Everything is healthy which is rare to find. Try any of their Sheredder Bowls for lunch. Becareful during lunch time because it gets pretty bonkers in there. People love it that much. It is easy to pass by on the outside but stop by, you won't be dissapointed.

Love this place! I dream of the Tater hater when I have had one too many! I unfortunately moved a little farther away so its only a treat when I get to eat here but I tell everyone about it! I crush a little on one of the cooks too so that helps LOL

I had the coconut covered french toast, with the coconut honey cream cheese. It was pretty awesome. They seemed busy but the service was prompt, and I didn't see any ridiculous line waiting like I would a t breakfast spots in Chicago... Food was plated well, and the portions were right on. The only thing I didn't like was the turkey sausage was tiny, but its only a minor err. Everything was not too terribly expensive either.My girlfriend ordered the Tijuana Breakfast Bowl, and said it was pretty awesome too. Outside seating was comfortable. Definitely recommended for breakfast.

Bizz M.
Good spot. We were seated quickly and I had an OJ in my hand in a minute. I had the coconut french toast. Excellent. The fried pickles were also pretty perfect. Its in nice area of Tampa so it was decent people watching as well. We were in and out so there isn't to much i can say but i would visit it again.

Good breakfast. Unfortunately their espresso machine was broken when we stopped here, but they waitress offered to make me an iced coffee which wasn't bad. The coconut french toast was yummy. I got an omelet that was great, it was oozing with cheese and and totally what I needed after a long night.

A favorite place for a quick lunch or dinner. The shredder bowls are amazing, although I found the buffalo chicken a bit too spicy. The Working Cow ice cream is a guilty pleasure after a great meal.

Let me start by saying I love diners! I went here on a Saturday afternoon hoping to get a nice breakfast. They have 2 different menus. One said breakfast available after 4 p.m., but the waiter said I couldn't get breakfast after 3 p.m. The place is small, and there were no tables available so we sat at the bar. I went to wash my hands the was the no soap! (The hostess just left the restroom right before I went in). I ordered the california rice bowl and my bf order a burger. Since we sat at the bar, I could see everything going on in the kitchen. My food was ready at least 5-8 minutes before his and I saw it just sitting there in the window. From the bar, I could also see that the french fries sit in a bowl and aren't fresh. The waiters just grab a handful and through it on your plate. They did use tongs. My food was bland and was room temp, which made it worse. There were flies buzzing around which was annoying. I ended up not eating my meal and another waiter heard us talking and took it. She was very nice and took it off the bill without me asking (even offered ice cream), but our original waiter sat a few seats down counting his money. Another set of waiters were on the other side of us talking about some lady's miscarriage and her "uterus." Seriously? I'm eating (or in my case not eating here!) We were never offered refills. My boyfriend said he liked his meal, but his burger was pink in the middle. He spent $14 on a burger and fries that I thought would have been just as good as going to Steak N Shake. NOT RETURNING!!!

Love their creative menu as well as the fact that we can usually get some vegan and tasty and relatively nutritious. Been here many times over the years, and it continues to be a family favorite. Downside? I agree service can be spotty.

And the S. Howard restaurant marathon continues. I've decided that S. Howard must be Tampa's restaurant mecca. My coworkers ran into my office the other day and said "Michael, we have a new place for you to Yelp!" As I do enjoy a meal that involves a yelp to follow, I was more than happy to try it with them the next day. Daily Eats is a cute little diner, with a healthier flare and a cleaner interior. The girls made sure to point out that the bar seats have a purse hook at each seat. The menu is an interesting mix of burgers and sandwiches with some unconventional toppings. You could literally come here for lunch or dinner for a week and still try something new. They have a ridiculous amount of toppings to choose from, too (goat cheese being one of my favorites). Among the beaucoup of unique sandwiches, there is an interesting mix of salads called "Salad Shredder Bowls". They have a crazy mix of lettuce, rice, and proteins. My friend had one and said it was delicious. Another friend ordered the fried zucchini which, as a zucchini hater...even I enjoyed them. One area where they might need a touch more improvement is in the speed of service. Speed is something that is a little more situational...our group is always in a hurry, so we might have a skewed view as to what is slow. Otherwise, our waitress was as sweet as can be. Now, we went here for dinner and will probably go back for lunch. Their breakfast, however, looks crazy good and I would say "Check it out, yo" for brunch. Tampa...my dear...your restaurants are impressing me, and I haven't a clue how to react! Brava...Brava.

Okay, so I'm in Tampa at the moment and need to comment on this AWSOME eatery! I went here for Sunday Brunch and it ROCKED my world! I started with a nice cup of joe. Nothing to brag about, but not bad, either. I was kind of a coffee snob, pre-tea drinking, so it's possible my taste buds were off about the coffee... Anyway, I ordered an egg omelette bowl. It had egg whites, turkey sausage, provolone cheese and was served on a warm bed of spinach in a big ol' bowl! It really was Delish, so I need to share! :) I also split a coconut crusted french toast with coconut honey cream cheese. Yeah, you read that right...yummy coconuts!!! It was pretty crazy...I don't normally eat frech toast, but HELLOOOO, this was AMAZING!!! People don't seem to Yelp much in Tampa, but I am really glad that someone already reviewed this place. Hooray for their breakfast!!!

Grant M.
Good greasy spoon food, decent prices, horrible service. I've eaten here maybe a dozen time in the last six months and each time I say "Never Again" because the service is so lousy. I know it's a small place, but there's no reason to wait 10 minutes every time just to be seated. They're not THAT busy. If the service was just a touch better I'd probably never even notice it was bad simply because the food is good. Also, the place keeps goofy hours.

the only thing I enjoyed was the old diner type environment on the inside, the food quality was not that good and the portion size for the price you pay was ridiculous.

Busy place with amazingly simple breakfast thats really really good. They have outdoor seating so you can bring your dog...yay! And they have heat lamps so seating out in the cold w/the dog isn't bad at all! The staff is soooo friendly. I also had the Monday Morning which is egg whites w/turkey sausage & onions on a layer of cheese and fresh spinach. I tried the blueberry pancakes...helllooooooo yummy cakes! Wished I had ordered my own. The blueberries were cooked inside this wheat of heavenly goodness. And the cafe con leche...buenisimo! And they only charge $1 to refill it instead of charging for a whole new drink! Everything is inexpensive. I may be hard to please but a place w/great service, tasty food, & $1 refills get my wooo hoo as good as it gets!

Yvonne B.
This little diner style joint is one of my favorite places to grab lunch! Their Natural Grilled Chicken sandwich is mouth watering! The chicken is seasoned perfectly and juicy every single time. Paired with melted provolone on a toasted cibatta roll served with a side of goat cheese marinara sauce for dipping, it is the perfect day time indulgence. I recommend the fried zucchini spears, too. The batter is light and slightly sweet.

I love to eat out for breakfast. I highly recommend something from the staff favorites menu - unique blends of foods that end up being great. They have done a good job of fusing your basic diner food with a twist. It is for sure a local fav.

There were so many things on the menu I wanted to try! I'll have to try next time we're down in the area. The variations on the Eggs benedict were tempting, but the Capt'n Crunch French Toast really caught my fancy. Although I couldn't taste that much of the cereal, the foundation [the bread- I'm guesing a brioche??] was awesome.

Deeeellliiigghhhtttffullllll! Not a Tampa native, so I have to admit that I couldn't be more pleased with this cute little diner. I'll break it down and make it real simple like so you can decide for yourself whether or not to go. BUT if you want to take the easy road stop reading this review and hustle your sweet lil self down there. + Healthy food! Woo, they have these shredder bowls with brown rice and all that California health freak goodness. + DELICIOUS FOOD! mMMmMm ( even though everyone I was wish was convined I had a stink face, the food was really good-- I was just tired and sans make-up, thank you very much) + It smells like breakfast ( yuuummmmm) + There is a line to get in-- always a good sign bc it means that people want to eat there and are willing to wait. + Cute booths + The owner schmoozes around, another good sign. + Outdoor seating + They serve chocolate milk..MmMmmm I had the two egg and cheese sandwhich-- they had just finished serving breakfast by the time I could get my over-served self over. Boo. So good... add a side of fruit and VOILA, one happy camper. - It's in Tampa... so there's a 2% chance that I'll ever return - Everyone goes there so there's a tad of a wait - They serve ice cream and many other goodies so it's hard to walk away without over indulging. Oh another + The coffee mugs have their name on it...cute.

I have eaten here a few times in the past couple months at the recommendation of a colleague. I am not exaggerating when I tell you that everything I have ordered off the menu has been absolutely outstanding. The crunchy french toast keeps me coming back. Last time I was there, I had the cali shredder bowl. The serving size was huge. I wasn't even in the mood for breakfast, but I had to order a side of french toast. I have sat outside the past couple times I have been there and have been served by Lori both times. She is extremely friendly, and has a great attitude. I will more than likely request to be seated in her section from now on, although I have never had bad service from anyone in this establishment. The food and the staff have made me a long time patron of this place. Oh love that they serve beer too! And the lady loves the mimosas (is there even any OJ in those things?!)

Stopped in here looking for a great breakfast and ended up going twice while in town. Had The Gigante, eggs cooked perfectly, awesome whole wheat pancakes and very filling. Staff was very friendly. Definitely will check out their other restaurants when I'm back.

Parag S.
Great food!!!! We went for breakfast and I was choosing between the Gigante and the Healthy DL. Believe it or not, I chose the healthy and was EXTREMELY satisfied. The oatmeal was perfect, not too sweet, just perfect. My wife had the whole wheat blueberry pancakes and they were great as well. Highly recommend me for breakfast. Will have to try lunch and dinner.

Good reviews sent us to Daily Eats for a Sunday morning breakfast. I'm always willing to give a place a break as everyone has an off day. I hope this was theirs. Service was good and the outside seating under the awning was nice (especially with the mister fans keeping us cool). Unfortunately, the food took forever: about 40 minutes for an eggs benedict and a short stack. When the benedict came the hollandaise had been poured on top despite our request to have it on side. Pancakes They had a nice consistency. My wife had plain and enjoyed hers; I had mine with banana and peanut butter chips. It was good, but at .50 a topping i would have liked more than 3 small slices of banana and a tiny droplet of peanut butter. Benedict with Shaved NY Strip (don't recall name) One might expect a home cook to use some sort of pod for poaching eggs, but not at a restaurant. If you do want to use a container to poach, don't over grease it. The nice thing about poached eggs is the cleanness of the egg flavor. These were so oily that I couldn't even taste the egg. The were also so overcooked that you could cut through the yolk. Not ok, but I was not in the mood to send it back. The steak on top was ok, but completely underseasoned and also greasy beyond belief. Hollandaise was good, warm and seemingly very fresh. Grits We ordered them with bacon and cheese. Easily the best thing on the table. Nicely done. Breakfast left both my wife and I feeling gross; chill out with the oil guys.

Just recently stopped in for my 3rd visit, and thought I'd better write this before I forget the whole experience, like I did the 1st two times. I had an omelet, and my love had a BLTA (avocado). Add a Coke and an orange juice and our bill came to about $25. I don't remember what we got here before, which means it didn't stand out. If we had hated it or loved it I could tell you now what was eaten. It's not that anything was bad, the omelet was OK, but I guess it's just a touch bland. I think I'll try them again and get one of the bowls I see everyone raving about. But if it's just more of the same there are too many other great places in the area.

Loreal D.
Daily Eats is a pretty great place to grab some brunch. Every time I stop by I'm not disappointed. I can also bring my doggie without any issue. The staff are friendly and do a fairly good job explaining the menu. I've had a couple of their bowls (lox and Mexican), which I really liked. This last visit I had the patty melt which was super mouthwatering. It was cheesy and well balanced. I highly recommend it! The prices are okay, not real cheap, not super expensive. I think the quality of the food correlates with the price well enough. I will be making more trips to this place in the near future.

Candace A.
Had a very good experience for brunch at daily eats. A little bit of a wait on the weekends 15-30 mins but not too bad. Our waitress was very pleasant and greeted us immediately. Because the place is quite small noise was a little bit of a issue when it came time to order. I decided on the strawberry French toast, home fries, and a coffee. My order the nacho bowl and a blue berry pancake. All were delicious . I'm not a big fan of French toast but these were exceptionally good. Home fries were just regular potatoes, and the coffee was ok but comes in a Cute cup. Pancakes just ok and nacho bowl was a hit. I recommend daily eats and will return for another weekend brunch

Sara J.
First time. There was a wait but thankfully just 15 minutes. Sat in my car and waited not so patiently... What! I was hungry..... Small place inside. Everyone is real nice. Fast paced. Our server was Jay. Very nice. Took our order and we had our food in 10 minutes! That was much appreciated! I had the Mexican omelette. He had the Greek omelette. Both were very good. The house fries on the other hand, I didn't like.... Needs onions or something......too mushy. Table was small and wobbly. Had a big bin of creamer and jam.... Overall, great food and good service! Lots more stuff I need to try! We will be bacccck!

Try the Captain Crunch French Toast!! So worth it! Deliciousness!! the prices were a tad bit much.. And not a lot of combos or specials. I Would definitely go back. CON: outdoor seating ridiculously cramped, inside is really small. BTW saw John Cena (WWE Celeb)

This is a soho take on diners. It's like every other restaurant owned Ciccios, very commercialized, above average but nothing special. The food is consistently good but nothing to rave about. They have your typical diner food like burgers and breakfast food. Being owned by Ciccios, they also have bowls. The prices are reasonable The decor is clean and diner like. Service is on point.

Kelly S.
One word, AMAZING! My family and I will definitely be back! The service was great, and the food was delicious! Not at all what we expected in a good way. We ordered the Capt Crunch French toast as an appetizer and it was a huge hit! No butter or syrup needed.

CJ V.
The place has a nice kitsch appeal. Can get a little loud, and if children aren't your scene beware cause there will probably be at least one family with a screaming child. So if you're a family you'll enjoy the charm. A little inconsistent with the food. Service is where its weakest. Went in for a late lunch and it wasn't crowded. Order drinks that took over 15 minutes to get and the meal came out with the appetizer. Milk shake was very good. Get servers that are aware of what's going on and a little more consistency with the food and you'll get more stars. Also the waitress dress as like young girls working a car wash fund raiser for their school.

While Tampa has a strong Deli scene, the diner offerings are pretty lackluster. Daily Eats is a standout exception. This is a neighborhood favorite, always crowded, serving diner faves, and some more modern stuff too. Burgers are great but too salty. Friendly service.

Jimmy D.
It's a cool place to eat. The menu is spunky and so is the staff. It's set up like a diner you would see in movie. I've eaten here many times. Mainly due to me living across the street. The food is alright, can be little pricey. Now I normally get what I know. I love Benedicts. I get the New Yorker there, it's basically a salmon Benedict. I have lately been getting it to go, there is usually a wait. The Benedict is nowhere close to being my favorite in town, but the connivence gets my business. The service is always great! My Togo orders are usually ready in 10 minutes. They also try to accommodate you anyway possible. I love blueberries and I mentioned I didn't like any of their shake options, but then she mentioned shakes they could do. She had me at blueberry.

This is cute little breakfast place. We got there early enough that we didn't have to wait. A good tip to know is that they cannot seat large parties. We had 7 of us and we had to squeeze into the booth. The menu is full of a bunch of items that I haven't seen before (captain crunch encrusted waffles anyone?) I ordered the gignate which was two eggs, bacon, pancakes and home fries. I was expecting a large meal, I was disappointed to see that it was a very small meal. The home fries were amazing, eggs were runny but tasted fine, the pancake (singular because I had to give my son one of mine because his portion was also tiny) was good, but nothing to write home about. My husband got the jersey shore which is an angus burger, cream cheese, bacon,onion and an egg on everything bagel. He enjoyed it. Overall, this is a cute place that has some great menu items, but the portions are very small.

Zubin K.
Came here for the first time. We were seated quickly and I ordered the half sized Thai Peanut Shredder Bowl. While the food tasted pretty good, it wasn't warm and I did not taste too much of the peanut sauce. Also, there wasn't as much rice as you would typically expect from a bowl. My friend ordered the Greek bowl and hers tasted better. We did order the Daily Fries which were excellent in taste, crispness and quality. Overall, a pretty good experience but could be even better.

Awesome spot for healthy (or rich and decadent if healthy isn't your thing!) breakfast, lunch and dinner on S. Howard On weekends, be prepared to wait. Especially for breakfast-lunch hours. This place gets busy and it isn't huge.. However, they have outdoor seating that helps with accommodating the weekend crowd. They serve breakfast all day and have anything your heart desires: classic egg, bacon, sausage type dishes, pancakes, and french toast, as well as the standard CRG "bowl" dish.. For breakfast, Daily Eats has several different scrambles in bowls (my fav. is the Tijuana - scrambled eggs topped with vegetable chili, shredded jalapeño jack cheese, tomatoes and guac on top of home fries. YES. The breakfast nachos are also AMAZING and my go-to if I plan to do nothing else on my Sunday after brunch. At the lunch hour, in addition to the breakfast items, they also serve some awesome sandwiches and burgers, and bowls with different proteins over rice and lettuce. For dinner, they have everything I already mentioned, PLUS some delicious mac n cheese dishes (5 different choices, to be exact. My fav is the buffalo mac n cheese) Don't forget to save room for a shake .... If only they still had their ice cream set-up, this place would be my #1 restaurant in town (the french toast Ice cream was a spiritual experience)

Karen R.
First time to Daily Eats while visiting Tampa. There was a 20-30 minute wait, but it was midday on Saturday, so that was expected. The seating went fairly quickly actually. We were sat outside and it was a covered area. Service was good, the server was very friendly and knowledgeable. We ordered drinks, and my Bloody Mary was perfectly spicey! The food was spectacular. 2 of us ordered the French toast bowl, which had scrambled eggs and french toast, and we opted the the Capt. Crunch French toast, which was Amazing! The other got the steak and eggs bowl and he loved it. He actually ended up getting an order of the Capt. Crunch French toast because he tried a bite of ours and couldn't resist! Definitely should visit this place if you're in the area. I'm excited to try out the lunch bowls in the future!

Great diner! We sat outside which wasn't too bad during the night. People watching is always fun. And duh! I just realized this is part of the Ciccio Restaurant Group. The menu did have a Ciccio Cali feel lol. Lots of menu options to please everyone here. AND they serve breakfast all day- win! I had the Thai peanut shredder bowl w/ shredded chicken and spinach. I was trying to be good, but that Crunchy French Toast was calling me...I might have to go back there and make someone order it so I can have a bite. Or two. My shredder bowl was fantastic! Huge serving and every bite was bursting with flavor. I like how you are able to customize the bowls to your liking (brown rice/quinoa, lettuce/spinach, choice of protein). Everyone else enjoyed their meals as well. Potato crusted turkey burger- will have to try soon. Service was great, no complaints there. Now if they could open a spot in St Pete...preferably off 4th St...that would be awesome! ;)

So many choices. The Daily Eats menu includes breakfast anytime, plus lunch and dinner. There are several cheesy macs, burgers, a dozen or so each of shredder bowl choices and house specialties, and of course, big salads. The options are almost endless since there are additional choices with so many of the menu items. Even gluten free and vegetarian options so everyone can find something they like. With the chopped salad, you can add goat cheese, bleu cheese crumbles, substitute spinach for Romaine, and/or add shredded turkey, pork or chicken. With the strawberry salad, you can add angus or turkey burger, fried or grilled natural chicken breast, shredded NY strip, or add bison or ahi tuna. The strawberry salad with Romaine, candied pecans, and bleu cheese crumbles with strawberry vinaigrette was amazing. Both the bison and ahi tuna add-ons sounded tasty but I opted for the sushi grade ahi tuna. Delicious. Everything was super fresh: red, ripe, juicy strawberries, crisp romaine, crunchy pecans, and perfectly cooked ahi tuna. Bangin. Great location right on the corner of S Howard and W Bristol with free parking across the street. Definitely on my list of go-to places if I'm in the area.

I can't wait for the St Pete location to open . . . oh my . . . classic comfort / diner food done right with a couple of twists. I wanted to try so many things, decisions decisions. Between 5 of us we tried lots of the menu and nothing disappointed. The service was fine. It is not a large place so the wait can be long. Lots of two tops and probably nothing larger than for a group of 5-6. Enjoy!!

Today was the first time we were ever at Daily Eats. It was very enjoyable. It's a pleasant restaurant. The hostess and our waitress were both helpful and cheerful. Both me and my husband ordered the same meal, Crunchy French Toast. It was delicious. Soft, thick slices and sweet - especially with the powdering of confectionary sugar - with that extra crunch that comes from the bread being rolled in crushed Cap'n Crunch cereal. It's a little too far from us for just a casual drop-in, but I would definitely go again.

We stopped here after an interview I had downtown. I wanted French Toast and this place did not disappoint. The Captain Crunch French Toast was yummy and crunchy. The place is very cute and was very busy the entire time we were there. We will definitely be back and I don't think I'll be able to try anything else. :)

I'll go to Daily Eats any time of Day or Night. Today I was Greeted by Travis. He's friendly and very professional. After 2pm is my Favorite Time of the Day to go. The 2-7pm Specials Are A Must Do. Great Music from 60s to 80s. Great Variety of Tunes. Everybody has that "Feeling Good Vive". There's always something. That will do it for me here. Their Coffee is Served Fresh, right temp. and Best of All with A Smile. Their Staff works hard to Satisfy you. And, boy are they busy. Takes very dedicated people, with decorum and Great People Skills. to have the "Patience" when time is limited to talk and listen to the customer. They have excellent professional etiquette. Even when having to take extra time. Answering questions. Making Suggestions for Subtracting or Adding Items to Customize your selections. And Meet Your Needs and or Wants. NOW THATS Class. And, in my observation. Experience, Good Training. And Yes, Teamwork. Today, Bianca was our Server. She was remarkable, "Can't Believe She Remembered" How I ordered My Custom Prepared Lox Bowl. She takes the Credit for her assistance w/the Choices of Ingredients. I am not able to eat Gluten or Lactose. My Lox Bowl, was another Hit:-) it Consisted of Lox, this time I chose X-Tra Lox. Wanted more Protein Power,Moist Fresh Scrambled Eggs, Brown Rice, Fresh Spinach( Was Savory, Perfect) WOW! And of Course Capers. Just the right amount. Today Will and his Crew. Where really rocking in that Open Kitchen. Started my meal with their OMG. Traditional Mimosa. 2$ from 2-7pm Everyday. Can't go wrong with that. And, needed to stay on the Cool Side. Hey, it's Summer in Fl. Ice Tea. Chills things Down. Their Portions are generous. It's what I call Comfort Food. Glad I opted for the Big Bowl. It's great taking a Favorite Food Home. Puts a Big Yay, tomorrow on my Day.

After our pre-picked out place was closed on Mondays we decided on our second choice thanks to Yelp. Daily Eats fed us well and was easy on the wallet. I had the famous Cap'n Crunch french toast. While I could clearly see it crushed and coated on the outside of the massive stack of bread, I did not add much noticeable flavor to it which left me a little disappointed. I was between the toast and a pancake so now I'll have to switch it up when I come back. Serving was huge so if you're hungry this will cure you. Guy had one of the breakfast bowls. He had the lox bowl that comes with eggs, chives, smoked salmon and more including a tasty chive sauce on the side. The best part was tots on the bottom of the bowl to add crunchiness to your bites. Yum! He was very pleased with his choice. Servers were busy at the late breakfast/ lunch rush so I don't hold that against them. Seating outside was tight but still enjoyable. We'd come back again.

Finally ate here and will definitely be back!! Food- potato chip crusted turkey burger. Yes, please! The bun was a little disproportioned to the patty, but regardless- it was good. Went during the week so no wait for a late lunch, but it's a small place so I can see the wait being long on the weekends. I'm honestly between a 3 1/2 and a 4. It's a diner so you get just that. I'd say it's a classed-up diner though. Service - meh. This is the 3 1/2 star part. For being not very busy, it took an awful long time for drink refills and napkins. I'll be back though! Love the group that this restaurant is a part of. Can't go wrong.

I've been here maybe 6 times and would have previously given this place 3 stars had it not been for the POTATO CHIP CRUSTED TURKEY BURGER W/ TOTS. Yum! This is on my new list of crave foods. I think I've had this burger 3 times in the last 2 months. Such simple, yet perfect flavors with the remoulade sauce and pickles. Tater tots and ketchup just add to the deliciousness. Other than that, I've had breakfast items: omelettes, pancakes, French toast. All not bad. I think I tried the Cali bowl once. Can't remember much about it. Not sure if I'll be able to try anything else in the future as I will always be here for the POTATO CHIP CRUSTED TURKEY BURGER. Oh service here has always been great. Friendly, down-to-earth people. I'll be back!

This place serves Cap'n Crunch french toast. That should entice you enough to have brunch here. Period. But seriously, Daily Eats is pretty amazing. My cousin and I originally wanted to come by on a Sunday morning but they were absolutely slammed with customers, so we opted to come back another day to give them a shot. DE is more or less the size of your average diner, with seats inside and outside under a canopy. The waiters/waitresses here are top notch and super friendly if you're new to the place. The one we had specifically was a spitfire and we joked back and forth with her the whole time, obviously leaving her a generous top because of it. Onto the food. DE seemed to cater more towards the breakfast and brunch crowds, but that didn't stop them from having some pretty mouthwatering lunch and dinner options. We opted on getting brunch since it was sort of in the middle of morning and afternoon and I was craving something with an egg in it. I got the Jersey Shore with a side of fresh fruit while my cousin got The Smitty also with a side of fresh fruit. I then ordered one piece of french toast for both of us to try, and got super excited when our waitress asked whether I wanted regular or Cap'n Crunch. Obviously when Cap'n Crunch is offered, you go with that, especially when, A. You've never had french toast with it, and B. It's Cap'n Crunch. She came out not long after with our entrees and packed the table to the brim with food. My entree ended up being a bacon, egg, and cream cheese sandwich, with a burger and onions, on an everything bagel. You wouldn't expect cream cheese to go well with a burger, but man was it good and it definitely filled me up. My cousin's came out in a big bowl with pieces of scrambled eggs, bison meat, cheddar, and red onions served over brown rice. I had a few bites and fell in love with it, especially with the bison meat. The french toast by the way, flawless. There wasn't an overpowering of Cap'n Crunch flavor, but just enough for it to be noticeable. Not to mention, you don't need syrup for this one, it's fantastic without it. Daily Eats is a BIG must if you're in the Tampa area for both the food and the hospitality. I know I'll be back here next time I'm down in Florida.

Love it. Shredder bowls are excellent. The burger one takes like a Big Mac in a bowl.

Good service. Cute restaurant. Had the Smitty and Hard Body. Both were perhaps their more healthier options. The former had bison meat and brown rice; the latter was with egg whites, turkey, quinoa, and spinach. Both were good but the bison needed more flavor, seasoning...something extra. I could see myself coming back here...maybe for their less healthy options

I was kicking off 2015 with a nice healthy lunch at Daily Eats on South Howard, and had the pleasure of enjoying the company of my Yelp friend, Michelle M. We were renewing our semi-regular monthly lunch meeting to catch up on news and good eats. Neither of us had eaten at Daily Eats, so this seemed like the perfect excuse to try this South Tampa eatery for lunch. As many people know, Daily Eats is part of the successful Ciccio Restaurant Group which includes Ciccio Cali, Ciccio's / Water, the Lodge, Green Lemon, and Fresh Kitchen. These folks seriously love the South Tampa area, and they've done a great job helping to shape the restaurant scene in the region. You'll find Daily Eats along S. Howard Avenue, just south of Swann, and at the intersection of Bristol Avenue. Parking in this area can be a challenge, but they have a small lot between Green Lemon and Daily Eats, and a larger lot across the street for these two restaurants. Daily Eats is a refurbished two-story house right on the corner, and they've taken full advantage of the wrap-around veranda porch to offer al fresco dining for smaller groups. Inside the restaurant you'll find booths, and a casual diner-like atmosphere. Outside is more relaxed, and a nice place to sit when the weather cooperates. Much like a diner you can order breakfast at any hour which includes traditional omelets, egg dishes, French toast, and pancakes -- but all with a playful twist. French toast covered with Cap'n Crunch cereal, or how about scrambled eggs with diced onions, tomatoes, scallions and capers on a bed of tater tots topped with smoked salmon and served with a side of scallion cream cheese all in a bowl? If breakfast isn't your thing, then flip the menu over to see their selection of burgers, mac n cheese, or a nice mix of sandwiches that come with fries, tots, salad, cole slaw, baked beans or fresh fruit. For an upcharge you can go wild and get sweet potato fries, chili cheese fries and more. Now in the middle of the back page are what they call "Shredder Bowls", and this has nothing to do with snowboarding in Vail. Nope, these are their take on fresh ingredients and various proteins served over a bed of brown rice or quinoa, and mixed shredded lettuce or spinach. I liked the sound of their Gyro Shredder Bowl which was gyro meat, tomatoes, onions, pepperoncini, feta, tzatziki sauce and white balsamic vinaigrette, served over brown rice with spinach. They have about ten different styles of these shredder bowls which run about $10 for a very filling meal. Michelle and I both had shredder bowls and liked them very much. Delicious, healthy food at a fair price, and a very relaxed atmosphere. I will be back to try some of their breakfast choices next time.

Oh how I miss having lunch here! Since I'm now in St Pete during work hours I've had to settle for visiting during other times. Every visit here has been great. Staff is always so nice and friendly. On this visit, my sister and I had a late lunch on a rare weekday off. We shared the tater hater, cause how can you not start with loaded tater tots? We both had bowls and they were both delicious as usual. I don't think you could go wrong with a Daily Eats bowl!

I came here for breakfast with my bestie last weekend. I loved it. Great food and service. The place is kind of small, so if you want to sit inside, I suggest you get there early. I believe this place is owned by the same group that owns Cicco's, the Lodge and the Green Lemon, so expect similar type of food (but good food none the less). Also, all of the servers are very attractive, so if that's important to you, there you go. The only thing that disappointed me was I could not get a mimosa, due to it being Sunday and us getting there before 11am (stupid Florida law). Otherwise, it as a great meal with great company. I will definitely come here again, and I will make sure I'm there when mimosas are served.

Came into town for family and loved the brunch we had here. The captain crunch French toast.. shut the front door. The Memphis chicken sandwich was juicy and had great crunch. I have already recommended it to my family and will return when I'm in town. Jay the waiter was great.

Alex R.
I loved eating here. It is a classic diner on the inside and the staff, at least sitting at the bar, was welcoming, informative and attentive. After learning it was my first visit I got some great recommendations which is a great idea for servers to help you feel welcome. I ate the grits and Bronx Bully Benedict...steak and poached eggs with hollandaise. Yum!! The grits do not need doctoring so try them before adding butter or salt or anything. Breakfast with coffee was $15 which is a little high, but for the area I might be ok. I will be back to try some other dishes.. also open for lunch and dinner.

Excellent service. It was pretty busy on a weekday during lunch. Had to wait about 15 minutes to be seated. Didn't mind though. I had 2 babies with me so we were more than happy to wait for an appropriate table that could fit high chairs. The tater tots on the appetizer menu were to die for! I got some kind of BLT bowl and it was delicious. It was more first time going here and I will definitely be back! Even the customers were all very friends and down to earth. Maybe it was because my babies are cute?

Driving around Tampa looking for a place to eat and stopped by since we have heard great things about it. I ordered the sirloin egg bowl and she had the turkey hash bowl. The meat was tender, more so then you would have one Philly steak which I loved. It was missing some seasoning however. The turkey hash bowl was interesting but did not resemble hash by any means. I am no hash expert but her was flavored much better than mine. We heard they had crispy toast crunch. Hmmmm ok I'm in. Did a single slice as an appetizer. Pro- tasted good, perfect for a desert. Con-wasnt crispy and came the same time as our meal (which it probably isn't a popular request so we didn't care much) All in all I'd say I would go again if I saw a better selection on the menu for breakfast. Their lunch items I'm definitely in to try..

One of the best breakfast places. This is an easy and obvious go-to place for breakfast, and probably more since I see some beer and wine specials, but for me, it's one of the best breakfasts in town. Good food, good service, good prices. I haven't had anything I didn't enjoy. My favorite is the onyx breakfast sandwich. It's simple and simply tasty served with some soft but crispy outside potatoes, turkey sausage, eggs, cheese, multigrain bread. Throw a little ketchup and Tobasco, voila! Staff is always awesome. I wonder where they find and train these amazing people sometimes. As busy as it gets, everyone is in positive spirits and always attentive. They will also help you if you're new to the menu or unsure of what to get. They seem to know their product. It's a loud and bustling restaurant with a diner kind of feel. There will be a wait at peak times, but you can sit outside if it's not hot for you and traffic noise doesn't bother you. Parking is available in a large shared lot, on the street or in another lot across the street.

Decided to check this place out with a friend, and i'm glad we did. I had a breakfast bowl and she tried the burger both were amazing the food was fresh & delicious our server Lauren was awesome!! Overall great experience!!! I will definitely be back there were so many choices between the breakfast and lunch menu I can't wait to return.

Whenever I'm home I come here at least a couple times a week. All of there food is done well. You can get your traditional diner food from great burgers to an awesome triple decker club. Or, you can go for a little bit on the healthier side with a Thai Peanut bowl. The wait staff are very nice and have a relaxed vibe to them. If I would have to pick anything that some people would complain about, it would probably be that the girls working there could tie their hair up a little bit to avoid it swinging into the food. I myself haven't had a problem with it, but heard some friends mention it. Overall this place is great, the prices are fair, staff is friendly, and I love all of the food. My favs are: * Thai peanut bowl * New Yorker eggs Benedict * buffalo chicken sandwich * Triple decker club w/ chicken * Pancakes ( THESE ARE STUPID GOOD)

This is one of my favorite spots in town. If you love a good diner experience like I do then don't miss out on Daily! I have never had something that I did not love. A really great staff from the hostess to the servers just really friendly! Of course they have milkshakes, and Ray our server did an outstanding job! You will be a hooked after the first visit.

This is the best breakfast joint in downtown Tampa. Who can argue with a menu full of breakfast options for people who like either sweet, savory, or spicy. Plus... mimosas..... the best! I stop here all the time.

Excuses can be a dime a dozen when it comes to restaurants, whether it be the "rush" or an event that surges business. Tempers can flare, service can fall, and consistency in what winds up on the plate is not always guaranteed. Cue my trip to Daily Eats during what I can only imagine to be a citywide day of hangovers for Tampa: Gasparilla. Any kind soul will cut slack to a little sluggishness or missteps, but it is up to the business to recognize and remedy problems even when the heat is turned up. Daily Eats might have been having a 3-star day, but they had more than enough proof in practice and food-deliciousness to insure I will stop in again. The Space Right off of Southern Howard (SoHo) and just a stretch from the bay, Daily Eats occupies a relatively small building that, thanks to ample outdoor seating, can comfortably maintain the happy masses they attract. The decor is what I might call diner-chic, with bright orange and yellow furnishings throughout. Booths, tables, and a bar all give the opportunity for your most comfortable choice, but no matter where you sit, the foot traffic is constant. The Service Our group of 6 knew what we were getting into at noon on a Sunday after a major local holiday when seeking out the most splendiferous of meals (read: brunch). Given an estimate of 1 hour to be seated, we waited out the minutes with a cup of coffee from Starbucks and suffered through tummy rumbling until getting a pretty roomy booth. The waitress that came to us was swift, vibrant, and helpful in knocking out drink orders and making recommendations beyond the "well this is good". Hearing my choice was best paired with an over-medium versus over-easy egg, for example, was welcomed feedback when she could have easily rushed away and left it at that. Once the orders were placed, though, the mood began to decline. The staff was all over the place in a frantic attempt to keep up with the crowd. This resulted in dropped dishes and projectiles flying at ourselves and patient patrons. There could definitely have been a benefit to slowing down just a wee bit. Then, when we saw that 3 meals came out before 3 others, we became dismayed. Apparently the highly-regarded Captain Crunch French Toast was held up for lack of batter, and was now starting to be made at the time 3 meals were placed on the table. Not a great decision by the kitchen, but I imagine communication was off. That said, when defeat was accepted and our checks came, the waitress frantically rushed out to stop us from signing. Without a single request or complaint from our group, the management comped ALL french toast orders and drinks for us. Stunning, stellar empathy to recognize and act on shortcomings so intentionally. It was as if letting us leave having paid full price would have been hurtful to the powers that be. I love a business like this. The Food For all the scrambled that this egg was turning out to be, I can easily attest to the food tasting pretty great: Bloody Mary (C+) felt non-traditional and was heavy in both lime and sweetness. While I could appreciate the idea behind it, I definitely am a classic tomato-hugs-spice kind of guy for this cocktail. Tijuana Breakfast bowl (B+) embodied my favorite southwestern omelet ingredients into a delicious, layered bowl of goodness. The over-medium egg melts amongst the layers of cheese, chili, and potato to make each bite equally awesome, not to mention a dose of cool sour cream and creamy guac to round out the kick. I asked for a side of sriracha as well (because I am weird like that) and was pleasantly surprised to get a, somewhat small, but tasty version I suspect might be made in-house (would love to know if I am right about this). Captain Crunch French Toast (A) was hyped up to me before I even set foot in the door by a coworker, and it did not let me down. The coating was not too thick, and with the cereal finely milled into the batter, each slice had the memorable taste of Saturday morning cartoon marathons. I was concerned it might taste too much like cereal and not enough like quality brunch, but this fear was immediately disspelled. This not even to mention how fluffy and thick the slices were, resulting in mouthfuls of sweet, syrupy clouds. A must-have if you are a fan of sweet at breakfast time. Final Thoughts The area has a lot to offer when it comes to food, and I imagine the competition is stiff on any given day. Daily Eats's menu is bountiful and fun, in addition to unique daily specials, but I saw this trend in a few other spots I considered. When you can count on above-average being a given, the truly great must go the extra mile. The parts of my experience that leave me wanting, and that could have spelled a so-so aftertaste, also managed to be a highlight of my visit. I look forward to a future chance at tossing the missing star onto this review because, with a bit less fluster, Daily Eats would have the whole shebang.

This is a definite must for breakfast/brunch in Tampa. Thank goodness for great recommendations from friends because we would have not come across this place otherwise. We were staying in Downtown Tampa but it was an easy and quick 10 minute drive to get here. The parking lot was full but, thanks to our patience, we scored a spot in the adjacent lot. (Check out the gorgeous "You Are Beautiful" graphic on the brick wall) No worries though because there is additional parking across the street. Since it was a Sunday morning there was a bit of a wait outside. You have to sorta force yourself through the throngs of people at the door to get to the person who is taking names for the wait list. They asked where we preferred to be seated and we told them first available. Which worked in our favor since they had a table available on the covered patio. The bigger sized parties had more of a wait so keep that in mind. Our server was great and gave us a rundown on their menu. The breakfast bowls are the popular choice-- eggs and toppings on top of a bed of home fries (yummy seasoned potatoes). She also recommended the Chef's Famous crunchy French toast which uses Captain Crunch cereal in its coating! I went with the Tijuana breakfast bowl while my husband went with the Bacon & Eggs breakfast bowl. We also got the French toast to share. Since I was a little under the weather, I went with the OJ but got a little jealous seeing the folks next to us with their bloody marys. Next time!! The food was delicious and way more than I anticipated. I am one that hates to waste but I really couldn't finish my breakfast bowl. It was huge (think pasta bowl size). On top of home fries was a bed of scrambled eggs topped with 3 bean veggie chili, shredded jalapeno jack, tomatoes and guac! OMG sooo good but very filling. My husband's meal was simple - potatoes, eggs, bacon and cheese . The French toast was tasty and better than I was expecting. Only thing that was a concern was that there are only 2 restrooms (male and female). So that means the line can back up quickly .... Overall, we had an excellent meal. Quick seating , great service and awesome food. We will be back someday!

The service was great, my dad ordered a chocolate milkshake (his indulgence) & they were out of chocolate ice cream but the waiter offered him a specialty shake for the same price. I had the Thai Peanut Bowl, my daughter had the Chicken & Cheese and dad had a BLT; all were amazing. My other daughter ordered a buffalo Mac n Cheese, pretty good but the large was too much.

small on the interior of this place so plan on waiting or get there at a magical time. Every time I've been to Daily Eats the service is great and the wait staff is always eager to explain the menu and walk you through any questions you may have. I love how small it is! Sometimes when I go into big restaurants you feel a disconnect from the true atmosphere of the place. Here, the wait staff explains their POV and makes you feel welcome. The food is amazing. The Eggs Benedict is my personal recommendation! OH I almost forgot about the PANCAKES. probably some of the best pancakes I've ever tasted. Great texture and cinnamony flavor

Our final stop on our tour de Tampa was a must have breakfast at Daily Eats on the way out of town. Another place we would hit up on the regular when we lived there and it was exactly as we remembered. I love the concept of this place because it takes your traditional breakfast favorites and turns them on their heads. For example, the breakfast bowls - take your traditional eggs benedict - eggs, ham and hollandaise sauce on an English muffin right? Daily Eats takes those yummy ingredients, mixes them in a bowl, breaks up the English muffin, mixes that in as well and wa-la a breakfast bowl is born! They have several well-known a.m. favorites made into bowls i.e. french toast and eggs or bacon and eggs as well as their own twist, the Tijuana - scrambled eggs, three bean vegetable chili, shredded jalapeno jack, tomoatoes and guacamole on a bead of home fries. Hello! Or should I say, hola? The morning the hubs and I went, I indulged in one of those bowls myself, I was going back and forth between the Cap'n Crunch French toast bowl and the cinnamon French toast and scrambled eggs bowl. I was unsure whether the Cap'n Crunch bowl would be too sweet; my server warned it was on the sweet side, but she did also say it was one of her favorites. I erred on the side of caution and went with the cinnamon toast choice, but after hearing everyone around me comment on and order the other, I immediately regretted my decision. My husband, the meat lover, went with the obvious, carnivore omelet which is exactly that, bacon, sausage, ham, cheddar cheese and scallions. I have to say, after the first bite of my bowl, all my indecision went out the window, it was AH-MAZING. The cinnamon French toast gave it just enough sweetness to compliment the mild flavor of the eggs. When I say mild, I don't mean tasteless, they were very good, fluffy scrambled eggs; the salty to the sweetness of the toast. My husband really enjoyed his omelet and commented on the amount of meat it had. It was a very thick, well-stuffed omelet that he deemed one of the best he's ever had (next to my dad's of course.) We were unable to finish our plates as they are hefty portions for morning, but the meal was every bit as good as we remembered. Daily Eats is a quaint, local favorite for South Tampa residents and even for us all the way down in South Florida. If you are in the area around lunch time, they also have a great lunch menu as well as other restaurants in their group (also some of our favorites) Ciccio and Tony's, Green Lemon and Water. You can't go wrong with any of them! These guys put love in their food!

Ugh no no no! I gave DE a second chance and have really liked the food there recently but I have to update my review again because this is the second time I've found hair in my food and it's REALLY gross. I understand that these things happen, but I think finding hair in my food on two separate occasions is way too many hairs for me. Who knows, I may just be the only one who noticed the hair and said something about it. The manager was nice and took my meal off of the check, but I am very hesitant to come back now that I've had the same thing happen twice. Apparently this was a problem way back when from what the manager told me, but it seems like it hasn't been fixed yet. Ultimately I just don't want to go somewhere and be grossed out by my experience so I really don't want to go back to DE now. The food is good, but cleanliness is really important to me and I think I value that way more in a dining experience.

I LOVE this diner. It really helps maintain the neighborhood feel for those of us who live near South Howard among the college bars and the expensive restaurants. It's perfect for a relaxed breakfast or late night pick me up... It's especially great for cheap, feel good take-out on a rainy night! My favorites: The dougie, Greek shredder bowl w Turkey, Buffalo Chicken Mac, & of course the Oreo Shake!

This banana lover will be back for the banana french toast. When I ordered them I thought I was just getting a few slices of french toast with banana slices on top. When my order arrived....happiness. The bananas are IN the slices. They were so tasty. I am also a huge fan of sweet potatoes so when I had the option of ordering sweet potato fries with my french toast I was very happy. I also really like the green juice that I tried. I ordered the Big Green O. It was very green and very good. It was $5 for a small glass and I did think that was a bit pricey but it was tasty so I may try another :)

This place is so fun!!!! Especially for after work mimosas!!!!!! This is a cool little diner, the food is super yummy (breakfast and lunch) and they serve mimosas of many different flavors!!!!! I work as a nurse and sometimes after a long shift my coworkers and I love to go up here and enjoy a cocktail with breakfast (or I guess its our dinner lol)! We were coming so frequently, the manager started giving us (or anyone else in scrubs) mimosas for $2 !!!!! YUM-O!

When in doubt, get a shredder bowl! That was one of the first meals I had upon moving to Tampa a few years ago and is still just as good. This place is BUSY. To say the least. We sat inside but probably should have been outside since you could barely hear yourself talk. The food was good, and service was fine. Seems like a fun place for lunch or brunch on a lazy day. I didn't know they were dog-friendly, but I plan on bringing the pup next time for sure.

I've dismissed Daily Eats for years, assuming it was nothing more than your typical diner fare. Little did I know that I was missing out on Cap'n Crunch Crispy French Toast, Potato Chip Crusted Turkey Burgers, and Apple Pie Milkshakes. My favorite Yelper and lunch buddy, Steve E. agreed to join me for lunch last Friday at Daily Eats. After hearing the daily specials and looking over the menu we decided to start the New Year afresh and order the healthy Shredder Bowls. These unique bowls offer a combination of fresh vegetables and healthy proteins served over a bed of brown rice or quinoa and shredded lettuce or spinach. The bowls come in half portions at $6.50 or full bowls at $10. (Additional charges apply for quinoa, spinach, NY strip or ahi tuna.) The full portion was filling, but not large enough for leftovers. I would only suggest ordering the half bowl as a light snack or accompanied with another item on the menu. Steve ordered the Gyro Shredder Bowl with gyro meat, tomatoes, onions, pepperoncini, feta, tzatziki sauce and white balsamic vinaigrette served over brown rice and spinach. I ordered the Greek Shredder Bowl with shredded chicken, cucumbers, kalamata olives, pepperoncini, garbanzo beans, feta, white balsamic vinaigrette and oregano served over brown rice and spinach. Both of us agreed that the Shredder Bowls were a delicious and healthy lunch option. Breakfast, my favorite meal of the day, is offered at Daily Eats during all hours of operation so I will be back to try one of the six egg benedict options... and a breakfast bowl.... and the Cap'n Crunch French Toast! Oink! Oink! TIP: Parking is limited during peak hours, but a complimentary parking lot is located across the street.

This is one of my neighborhood faves! I especially enjoy the breakfast options but lunch and dinner are good here too. The specialty throughout the Ciccio's chain of restaurants is the bowl whereby a bunch of listed incredients are pile atop a base in a bowl. For breakfast this is usually potato and at lunch/dinner its usually a starch like rice or pasta. Again I love Daily Eats breakfast so I usually come for the Captain Crunch French Toast with cheesy bacon grits. My sister is a fan of the CNC Pancakes also accompanied by the cheesy bacon grits. I have tried several menu items and I have not been disappointed with anything but the waldorf bowl. Its a waldorf salad on rice ... yeah just give me the salad instead. The prices average $10 per entree item which makes it an affordable place to have a quick bite to eat. Oh now understand quick is a relative term depending on the time of day you visit. This place is popular so you will always find a line out of the door for lunch and weekend brunch. Its a tried and true family fave for us so its definitely worth a try.

This is a cute and casual diner-style place that is great for any meal. We had the shredder bowls, which come in two sizes so you can order depending on your appetite. The ingredients were fresh and really tasty. I had the fish taco bowl with tuna and tried he thai peanut with chicken. I loved the fish taco bowl, but the thai peanut was a little salty for me. We also had the Mac and cheese, which was flavorful and not too rich. The burgers and brunch sound amazing, so I will definitely be back. Overall this is a delicious mostly healthy option for any meal!

This is the kind of place you would find on Diners, Drive-in and Dives. And that means this is the kind of place I want to eat. For starters, my sister and I got into Tampa Airport at 9am. After picking up the rental and checking on Yelp, we found this spot for breakfast cause we was starvin. We both had some ice coffee concoction that was OK, not sweet enough for my liking, but thats just me. There was a hint of flavor, but overall it was good. Wanna say there was almond milk in it, but I am writing this review 11 days later. For breakfest I had the French Toast and Egg bowl, which was mouth watering. My sis and I split a slice of the Crunch French Toast, which if I had known how good it was (though the waitress did tell me how slammin' it is) I would have ordered 4 more slices. The place was very packed, then again it was Sunday morning and being from northern NJ, I'm use to it (though not the humidity, so we waited longer to sit inside). This joint got it going on and from what I've seen and was told, the area is going through a transition and is becoming a hot spot. Check this place out and you won't be feeling hungry or disappointed. It's because of Yelp, we are able to find these great hidden gems.

I have been here several times and always loved what I've ordered. Get what ever Taylor recommends because it will be your new favorite! I'm not sure what it was called...hope she remembers on my next visit. They keep this place spotless and it always helps when they have employees like Taylor that are very nice and helpful. I will definitely ask for her next time.

Love love love this place. My boyfriend took me for brunch and we sat outside which wasn't unbearably hot. Thank god. The server was so welcoming, and had knowledge on the menu which is always my favorite. She was also giving us her favorite items which I enjoyed. We both got breakfast bowls which were yummy. We also got a side of their captain crunch French toast. This is a dish that is discussed a lot on their yelp . I LOVED it. Next time I'll be ordering it as my main dish. We also had mimosas which were so good. The experience as a whole was great. We will deff be back .

I've been here many times and I've never been disappointed. The staff is always super courteous and friendly and it's never been a long wait time for s table. That being said, I've also only gone on weekday mornings after working and weekday afternoons - I hear the weekends can get crowded. I love that it's a little hole in the wall place to eat but the food is AMAZING. I've had both breakfast and lunch here and it's been so good every time. Their pancakes are some of the best I've ever had and I highly recommend the Dougie breakfast bowl in particular - egg whites, turkey sausage, and cinnamon wheat pancakes chopped and mixed in a bowl YUM! Sitting outside could get a little loud because you're right next to Howard Ave and there is a decent amount of traffic. I highly recommend stopping by to grab a bite if you're in the area!

I've eaten breakfast, lunch and dinner here on a number of occasions. I like it! There are so many different items to choose from you can eat every meal here! For breakfast, my favorite options are the Dan (breakfast sandwich), the Greek Omelette with oatmeal and the French Toast and Eggs breakfast bowl. For lunch, I can't seem to get away from the Waldorf shredder bowl with chicken, spinach instead of shredded lettuce, no blue cheese and my dressings on the side. Is SOOOOOO yummy! And for dinner, that option changes each time but always have a good meal. OH the TATER HATERS! Those are so fabulous. And $2 mimosas after 2 pm every day! Great for those late Sunday brunches. The diner feel is fun. It is always jam packed. The service is usually really good. There are only a couple times I can recall not the most attentive or nice service. The place always looks clean. The prices are very reasonable. It's a go-to spot when you can't figure out what you want or for a quick bite. Quick once you're seated. The wait times, depending on the day/time, can be long...

Stopped by for breakfast this beautiful Saturday morning and almost decided to find somewhere else when they told me it would be a half-hour wait for just me. I am very glad I decided to stay - the breakfast and service was well worth the wait. My server, Victor, was extremely attentive and friendly. I ordered a mimosa and the Broad St. Bully benedict sandwich, with some bacon and pancakes on the side. The drinks and food arrived quickly and were *delicious*. Saturday is my "go crazy" day after eating healthy all week, and apparently the owner or manager (I think) liked my gluttonous style (I promise I don't actually eat like this all the time) so much that he bought me another mimosa. Highly recommended (but be prepared to wait) and I'll definitely be back.

Found this little gem in between audits and loved the food! I had the Captain Crunch French Toast, the Turkey Sausage with AVO and a side of potatoes. The Boss had pancakes and eggs. The food was delicious and the potatoes were so amazing the my boss ate all of it! I wish the juices were fresh squeezed but no worries because the service was really friendly and made up for it! If I ever go back I will definitely try this place again!

This place is just as delicious as ever. I tried some new dishes recently after moving to south tampa that were absolutely incredible. They have a quesadilla on the appetizer menu that could totally be a meal with its size. And It was one hell of a quesadilla. It was stuffed with pulled pork, black beans, cheese, plaintains for a little sweetness, and served with a creamy/sweet sauce (cant remember what it was). Holy cow it was so good. I also ordered a patty melt that was flippin gigantic. The picture doesnt even do it justice. It was sinful, and I couldnt even get through half of it. Thanks for another gluttonous & glorious meal Daily Eats.

I love eating in downtown areas, especially at local places that have a good vibe and menu. That being said, I was initially put off by the hostesses at DE. It was raining and the third member of our party dropped us off, so we didn't have to walk in the rain. "We can't seat you until your entire party is here," she said flatly and unappologetically. When we pointed to the door as our third arrived and said that's him, I saw an eye roll. I don't like seeing an eye roll. My other concern is that the shorts on the girls were too tight and short or they were wearing yoga crops, neither of which are appetizing to a straight lady who wants to enjoy their meal. If I wanted to go to Hooters or another kitschy bar, I would have gone there instead. Seeing young girls in their late teens and early twenties dressed like that simply didn't sit well with me. Our server was much nicer than the hostess which redeemed the dining experience a bit. My friends reassured me that the food, despite the rocky start, was well worth it. I enjoyed the Cap'n Crunch Milkshake which tasted like my childhood in a glass. The chopped bits of cereal were crunchy and the milkshake was nice and thick. I followed up with a Tampa Mule, and found it surprisingly refreshing. It was a nice local twist on the Moscow Mule. Next time, if my appetite permits it, I would like to venture into their food menu as many of the choices sounded outstanding. Hopefully the overall service will better next time.

Good spot for brunch type food. We sat outside and there was no wait. there was a wait to eat inside , however. Outside was fine but the tables were a little small for my 6 foot 3 husband. Here is a rundown of our experience Service- Our server was a little off his game, my husband's water went without a refill despite it being empty and the server seeing this twice. I was not impressed with his waiting skills Food- I had the Tijuana bowl which was huge and filling.I liked the chick peas in the chilli. My husand had the carnivore omelet which was ok. Overall the meal was sufficient. I appreciate the fact that they incorporated healthy options in their menu such as quinoa and turkey bacon. Best thing there was the side of sweet potato fries with honey. I may just go back for that and try their bloody marys with it.

Went here for breakfast per suggestion from a friend who lives in Tampa. Let me just say, I was NOT disappointed! Each person in our group ordered something different but my two faves were: Chefs Crunchy French Toast (tastes like Captain Crunch and French toast - ah making!) and the Turkey Hash-savory deliciousness! I love how they have run of the mill breakfast items but they jazz them up. Example: The Dougie has pancakes, Turkey sausage and egg whites all combined in a bowl. Random but incredible at the same time. (a perfect blend of sweet and salty) STAFF : All very knowledgeable about the menu and they make great suggestions! DECOR : Very cute, feels like a modern day diner. ATMOSPHERE : Fun and welcoming. A wide variety of people. Tip : Try the shakes! You can't go wrong with any flavor and they are all handmade, yummmmmmy

This place is to die for. I've only been for breakfast twice but I plan on coming back for lunch or dinner. Both times I ordered chocolate chip & oreo pancakes (yes, they are as delicious as they sound) with home fries. They also have many healthy options but obviously I chose to indulge. Try it! You won't be disappointed!

Disclaimer: One of the waitresses comped the bill in order to correct the situation, but that is merely because the squeaky wheel gets the grease. When your customer at a table of 4 is standing in front of you 38 minutes after an order was placed, you know that they are dissatisfied, especially when the most difficult order was french toast. I actually walked in the restaurant to inquire (both of our waitresses were MIA for eons) and went back in again for coffee/drink refills. I think they just forgot about us. With the disclaimer out there, I am the only person in my party that is willing to go back and try again. Aside from almost chewing the support beams on the porch while we waited,the food was mediocre. One breakfast bowl went back (it was cold) and order cancelled (it wasn't worth the wait for another), one breakfast bowl was lukewarm, eggs & toast okay (standard!) & the crunchy french toast good. You would think that anything might taste great after the wait for a table (45 mins...not complaining- this is understandable on a Sunday) and then the wait for food (38 mins) but noooooo. Daily Eats is in my neighborhood and I had hoped that this could become a regular in my repertoire. I'm sad.
(2)Yisha B.
Amazing food at very reasonable prices with ridiculously large portions. I think that's enough said. This is a great brunch place and they even make their own juices! Definitely worth a try!
(5)Rich B.
Weekends here seem to be insane, but they turnover tables pretty quickly. During the week, this is a great breakfast spot. Friendly and warm staff and lots of regulars. It's what you'd want in a breakfast spot especially if you happen to be traveling through. Their menu has some interesting sounding but sweet dishes like captain crunch pancakes. That said, you can totally have a nice healthy breakfast if you play your cards right. My only wish would be to take the coffee up a notch. Espresso would be nice and I imagine this neighborhood would eat that up.
(4)CJ S.
If you are really hungry or seeking breakfast all day this place is awesome. They have some original recipes and healthy options too like quinoa, spinach, and fruit blend drinks. And they also have amazing ice cream shakes and pies for when you want dessert. Most of the time service is good but we've gone a few times and had to wait a bit, but the food is always good. There is both outdoor seating and bar seating almost like a diner too for when you need to grab something quick. Parking can be tough at peak hours but there is an alternate lot across the street. Overall a cool place with a fun upbeat atmosphere and an interesting menu.
(5)Sarah X.
The food was good, plenty to choose from on the menu, and the service was good. ........ I got a message from the owner(?), after he read my previous review saying I wasn't completely satisfied with the atmosphere....... ((It really was just me... I'm -stupid- picky, and it just wasn't my type of atmosphere...... however..........) he told me to come back to try it out again, they would take care of me, and that they were expecting me. I'm pretty sure I know where I'm going for breakfast lol A for effort for real. I've delt with quite a few different companies lately that clearly do not give a damn about customer service...... I'm extremely impressed, and I really, really appreciate this. Thanks Jeff ;)

The people make the experience! The food is amazing and the drinks and fantastic! Lora will be seeing us again! Thank you for a great start to our day!

Food was average. Service was poor. Messed up on the food, no coffee until the end of meal. No refills. However server did make it up to us by adjusting the bill and bringing us cookies. So we will try it again.
(3)Alexa S.
yum! This place is so cute, and the food was on point. Healthy or cheat meal worthy, can't want to go back!
(4)Tracey R.
We have returned to Daily Eats after a nine month break from it. We are sitting here drinking beverages with no ice which they are still charging us $2.25 for and they are warm. My mac and cheese has bits of other food in it. The fruit is lying exposed right under the food service window. This place is run by a younger crew and it is starting to show. I sat at the counter amd you can see a lot of unappetizing things from that view.......including workers snacking on a fry or other small bit off your soon to be delivered meal.

I came back the next day and Travis kept his promise. It was DELICIOUS as usual. I also received a response back from management which shows excellent customer service. I'd recommend everyone try this place!!!!

Here for the first time and probably coming back my wife and me had two breakfast bowl really good .
(4)Shannon Q.
When I think of breakfast this is the first place that comes to mind. I love that there is so much to chose from and it fits any mood. Do I want something traditional or something trendy and healthy. Your choice. The only downside is that it is a small place and often so crowded that you have a long wait. The take out holds up pretty well.
(4)Notso K.
Great food all day but the breakfast is unbelievable! Never had a bad meal here. Our server was Victor and provided excellent service. Pricing is good for the quality of the meal.
(5)Stephanie H.
Hands down my favorite casual restaurant in tampa! My favorites are the tater hater, Greek shredder bowl, grilled cheese, the macs, and the shakes. You can go healthy or not when you eat here. The service is great and the environment is nice, casual and clean.
(5)Marie W.
This place isn't bad. The BBQ sandwich is pretty good as are the sweet potato fries. Service is actually really good, seems like teamwork is strong. The only thing that blows is parking, but what else is new in South Tampa? Haha
(4)Rhonda D.
I can't recommend this place enough! I was visiting from Las Vegas and heard great things about the shakes. I'm so glad I listened! The food is incredible and the service is too. My server made sure that everything was how I ordered and my soda was kept full. I had the loaded grilled cheese and ordered the cheesy tots. I debated since I already had the sandwich, but it ended up being a great choice. The tots were sitting in this amazing cheese sauce (no canned nacho cheese here!) and melted shredded cheese on top. My favorite part was feeling like I was in an old school diner complete with Formica tables and glass Heinz ketchup bottles!
(5)Joey L.
I just can't help myself, I'm a regular here. Every time I walk in I get the jitters because I just don't know what to order, it's all so very good! Do I stick with what I know and get a blackened bacon burger with tots or maybe I should roll with my favorite buffalo chicken bowl and make it with spinach so I can feel better about my health. Do I head towards the Mexican bowl and add chicken? So many excellent choices! I feel like Will Ferrell in Old School when Frank the Tank slams his beer, only it's the food...It's so good...once it hits your lips, it's so good! Dan's chicken melt is my newfound favorite these days. You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. I would like to know how many pounds of tots Daily Eats runs though in a day? Gotta be an impressive number, they are always cooked to perfection.
(5)Colton S.
I come here frequently and am always pleased. Really great tasting food at a reasonable price. Highly recommend their Daily Eats bowls, super good. Breakfast served all day is great.
(5)Bev S.
Lovedddddd it. The service was awesome...the food was pretty good , it was a chilled atmosphere ...I loved the variety of choices especially the breakfast menu. Will definitely become a regular in the future
(5)Cameron G.
I got the Mexican chili bowl. It was really good and the portions were pretty large. I didn't get any meat, so they let me add quinoa for free. I know they're both owned by the same people, but Daily Eats is a lot better than Lemon (which is next door). Everything I saw come out of the kitchen looked good. I think you'll be hard pressed to find something bad on the menu.
(4)Ameesh P.
I recently got to try this place out and I'm in love. What a great place for brunch or lunch. I love the unique diner style of this place and the options for a healthy or not so healthy meal are extensive. I ended up coming here with a small group of people on a not so busy Monday so it was great to have such quick service and get seated timely. I can't wait until the next time I get to experience this deliciousness!
(5)Kimberley A.
Love this place! No bad thing to say, wish they were a little bigger, so you can go in with larger groups.
(5)Rufus B.
Visited the weekend of June 19th. Ate there twice, once for breakfast and once for dinner. Service is wonderful. Their signature dishes are bowls; breakfast, lunch or dinner. Farm to table ingredients. Great choice for a visit when you're in Tampa!
(5)Ryan S.
My wife and I have been to this establishment twice now and have been very happy with the quality of the food and the friendliness of the staff. The wait can be a little long and the service a little slow if they are busy but it is well worth it. I ordered the buffalo chicken sandwich and I highly recommend it with the tots. On another note, you will see a review posted by another user today that mentions hair in food and a disrespectful manager. I was sitting right next to that gentleman and his partner and I can tell you that the manager was very cordial. In fact if there was anyone out of line it was this customer. He started shouting and even used some adult language with children around. His (the customers) behavior was way out of line and unfortunately made things very uncomfortable for several surrounding customers. I understand there is something wrong with your food but your behavior was not acceptable sir. Anyhow, we love daily eats and I hope you do too!
(4)Francesca L.
Every time I eat here I am reluctant and only going because my hubby loves it, but every time we are done I think "oh yea, that's actually pretty good!" What turns me off is that the menu is very "cafeteria deli" and reads too bland, plus it's got a very casual vibe (and I'm not a casual gal). I've had the club on wheat, the BLT on white and the mac & cheese-all very delicious, especially the club on wheat with the sauce it comes with...yum! Will return, I suggest everyone try it at least once!
(3)Jeff D.
Good food fast, I dropped in today to have a bite to eat on my way home and enjoyed a quick meal. I had one of the bowls that they offer and was happy that I had two sizes to chose from. The Greek bowl was full of good stuff and served fast. The service was friendly and I was explained all of the specials and offered a refill on my drink. All In all a good spot when you wand to eat fast.
(5)Chris W.
Daily Eats is obviously doing something right because the place was packed when we went there for breakfast. Unfortunately for us it was raining when we got there. There wasn't anywhere to wait inside so we had to huddle under the small porch out front with other people that were waiting to get in. After a good wait we eventually got seated. I didn't have any complaints about the breakfast I got, but it didn't feel like anything special to me either. That was probably my fault because I just ordered a standard breakfast with pancakes, eggs, and bacon. I should have tried something unusual, such as their turkey hash. If I go back for breakfast I will definitely do that, but I haven't been motivated to go back when I can go to other places where I don't have to deal with the wait.
(3)Noelle F.
Third time I have been here and the food has always been great. This time we waited a little bit to be greeted, however the manager came over unprompted and apologized and bought us desert. Our waitress was great and they were very accommodating for the rest of the meal. Their crusted french toast and potato chip crusted turkey burger are amazing, and they have a full milkshake menu. A most try when you are in soho or tampa.
(5)Matt M.
Food was good and service was good. Not the best I've ever had but I'd definitely try it out. It's cheap, the foods pretty good and it's healthy. Try it out!
(4)Shawn K.
Had a great experience here today. The wait to get a table for two on thisSaturday noon was about 20 mins, so we just helped ourselves to the bar area and ate there. the staff were really nice and well coordinated, they helped each other out in order to get through busy hour. The food was amazing and came out timely. It was a well managed restaurant with good menu, fair prices, and friendly staff. The place has a lot of health and non healthy choices, so it's win win for everyone!

Great variety and a few unique items combined with 4 hot sauce options and awesome service made for a repeat-worthy brunch. Don't clean your plate unless you have time for a nap!
(4)Marlene P.
Been a Daily Eats reg for over 3 years now. The service has always been fantastic, the ingredients are fresh, and the consistency of the dishes is always amazing. They hit the nail on the head and then some. Weekend brunch can get pretty crazy (its a good thing, trust me) so if you want to be in and out I suggest yet get there by 8a, 10a the absolute latest because if not, you're gonna wait at least 45 mins. They're known for their Shredder Bowls and awesome breakfast but you cant go wrong with anything here, believe me. Definitely a food staple in Tampa.
(5)Michelle D.
Delicious food and drinks. I had the chef's famous crunchy French toast, it wasn't really crunchy, but the flavor and moistness of the French toast was amazing. Blueberry mimosas to go with. They have amazing burgers here, and the Newyorker Benedict is nothing short of delicious. Come here and try literally everything. Only down side is no reservations and long waits, but a lot of people seem to put their names and ditch for the other nearby restaurants, our hour wait turned about to be about 30 minutes.
(4)Haley D.
For a diner, this place is phenomenal. It's a super busy spot in the SoHo district, so you'll most likely have to wait for a table on Saturday and Sunday. It's a pretty small place so the seating is very limited. However, the wait will be way worth it. The Shredder bowls that I've had have all been excellent. All fresh ingredients and toppings let you know that this establishment prides itself with quality over quantity. I like a spicy styled eggs for breakfast, so I choose the Tijuana (which is gluten free btw). The eggs are scrambled and served with vegetarian chili and cheese. I look forward to my menu selections on our next visit.
(4)Brett N.
Why 3 stars? Because this is the exact definition of A-OK. --- --- --- Daily Eats is why 3-star reviews were invented. I have been several times. I have never loved my meal. I have never hated my meal. Nothing has ever stood out one way or another. Being mediocre isn't a bad thing though... especially when my girlfriend loves you. As for me? I've tried a variety of items over the last few years, and I have nothing to recommend or advise to avoid in particular. This has been "Vague Hour" with Brett. Stay tuned for an all new Ricki Lake.
(3)Khemy P.
I'm not gonna sugar coat it or write an essay. Daily eats is a great stop on a shopping day or if you're craving a specific dish they make. I'm in love with the Captain crunch crusted french toast and eggs. I drive 25 mins to ge that dish. Always recommend.
(5)Melissa G.
I've never had a bad experience here, everything's always good and fresh. Fav tampa spot for post-workout meals.
(5)Ann L.
This was a fun visit to an interesting diner. I guess I was lucky as I arrived around 1:30 on Saturday afternoon and was by myself so getting in was no problem. The hostess asked if I wanted to sit at the bar which I did - the smell from the kitchen was wonderful. The waitress was great, got my drink right away and made helpful suggestions for my first time there. I tried the hamburger bowl (though she said The California was most popular) and had a basket of fried pickles. Everything was delicious, fresh and quickly served. Sitting there at the bar I watched all the orders come out, breakfast is served all day. I was offered a drink to go when I got my check. All in all this was about as good as it gets. I will surely return.
(4)Robert G.
I'm a big fan of their Shredder Bowls. There's one in particular I order every time I visit. What I especially like about the bowls is that their healthy options. The Cheese Burger Bowl is my go to lunch and/or dinner choice. I up the healthy quotient by subbing beef with bison and add spinach. This dish has such great flavor to it and tastes so decadent yet it truly is a great high protein healthy option dish. Of the many times I've dined at Daily Eats the serve has always been good to very good. I highly recommend Daily Eats for brunch, lunch and dinner.
(5)Jimmy D.
It's a cool place to eat. The menu is spunky and so is the staff. It's set up like a diner you would see in movie. I've eaten here many times. Mainly due to me living across the street. The food is alright, can be little pricey. Now I normally get what I know. I love Benedicts. I get the New Yorker there, it's basically a salmon Benedict. I have lately been getting it to go, there is usually a wait. The Benedict is nowhere close to being my favorite in town, but the connivence gets my business. The service is always great! My Togo orders are usually ready in 10 minutes. They also try to accommodate you anyway possible. I love blueberries and I mentioned I didn't like any of their shake options, but then she mentioned shakes they could do. She had me at blueberry.
(3)Loreal D.
Daily Eats is a pretty great place to grab some brunch. Every time I stop by I'm not disappointed. I can also bring my doggie without any issue. The staff are friendly and do a fairly good job explaining the menu. I've had a couple of their bowls (lox and Mexican), which I really liked. This last visit I had the patty melt which was super mouthwatering. It was cheesy and well balanced. I highly recommend it! The prices are okay, not real cheap, not super expensive. I think the quality of the food correlates with the price well enough. I will be making more trips to this place in the near future.
(4)Candace A.
Had a very good experience for brunch at daily eats. A little bit of a wait on the weekends 15-30 mins but not too bad. Our waitress was very pleasant and greeted us immediately. Because the place is quite small noise was a little bit of a issue when it came time to order. I decided on the strawberry French toast, home fries, and a coffee. My order the nacho bowl and a blue berry pancake. All were delicious . I'm not a big fan of French toast but these were exceptionally good. Home fries were just regular potatoes, and the coffee was ok but comes in a Cute cup. Pancakes just ok and nacho bowl was a hit. I recommend daily eats and will return for another weekend brunch

This is cute little breakfast place. We got there early enough that we didn't have to wait. A good tip to know is that they cannot seat large parties. We had 7 of us and we had to squeeze into the booth. The menu is full of a bunch of items that I haven't seen before (captain crunch encrusted waffles anyone?) I ordered the gignate which was two eggs, bacon, pancakes and home fries. I was expecting a large meal, I was disappointed to see that it was a very small meal. The home fries were amazing, eggs were runny but tasted fine, the pancake (singular because I had to give my son one of mine because his portion was also tiny) was good, but nothing to write home about. My husband got the jersey shore which is an angus burger, cream cheese, bacon,onion and an egg on everything bagel. He enjoyed it. Overall, this is a cute place that has some great menu items, but the portions are very small.

Awesome spot for healthy (or rich and decadent if healthy isn't your thing!) breakfast, lunch and dinner on S. Howard On weekends, be prepared to wait. Especially for breakfast-lunch hours. This place gets busy and it isn't huge.. However, they have outdoor seating that helps with accommodating the weekend crowd. They serve breakfast all day and have anything your heart desires: classic egg, bacon, sausage type dishes, pancakes, and french toast, as well as the standard CRG "bowl" dish.. For breakfast, Daily Eats has several different scrambles in bowls (my fav. is the Tijuana - scrambled eggs topped with vegetable chili, shredded jalapeño jack cheese, tomatoes and guac on top of home fries. YES. The breakfast nachos are also AMAZING and my go-to if I plan to do nothing else on my Sunday after brunch. At the lunch hour, in addition to the breakfast items, they also serve some awesome sandwiches and burgers, and bowls with different proteins over rice and lettuce. For dinner, they have everything I already mentioned, PLUS some delicious mac n cheese dishes (5 different choices, to be exact. My fav is the buffalo mac n cheese) Don't forget to save room for a shake .... If only they still had their ice cream set-up, this place would be my #1 restaurant in town (the french toast Ice cream was a spiritual experience)

First time to Daily Eats while visiting Tampa. There was a 20-30 minute wait, but it was midday on Saturday, so that was expected. The seating went fairly quickly actually. We were sat outside and it was a covered area. Service was good, the server was very friendly and knowledgeable. We ordered drinks, and my Bloody Mary was perfectly spicey! The food was spectacular. 2 of us ordered the French toast bowl, which had scrambled eggs and french toast, and we opted the the Capt. Crunch French toast, which was Amazing! The other got the steak and eggs bowl and he loved it. He actually ended up getting an order of the Capt. Crunch French toast because he tried a bite of ours and couldn't resist! Definitely should visit this place if you're in the area. I'm excited to try out the lunch bowls in the future!

Just recently stopped in for my 3rd visit, and thought I'd better write this before I forget the whole experience, like I did the 1st two times. I had an omelet, and my love had a BLTA (avocado). Add a Coke and an orange juice and our bill came to about $25. I don't remember what we got here before, which means it didn't stand out. If we had hated it or loved it I could tell you now what was eaten. It's not that anything was bad, the omelet was OK, but I guess it's just a touch bland. I think I'll try them again and get one of the bowls I see everyone raving about. But if it's just more of the same there are too many other great places in the area.
(3)Zao Z.
This is a soho take on diners. It's like every other restaurant owned Ciccios, very commercialized, above average but nothing special. The food is consistently good but nothing to rave about. They have your typical diner food like burgers and breakfast food. Being owned by Ciccios, they also have bowls. The prices are reasonable The decor is clean and diner like. Service is on point.
(4)Thuyen B.
Great diner! We sat outside which wasn't too bad during the night. People watching is always fun. And duh! I just realized this is part of the Ciccio Restaurant Group. The menu did have a Ciccio Cali feel lol. Lots of menu options to please everyone here. AND they serve breakfast all day- win! I had the Thai peanut shredder bowl w/ shredded chicken and spinach. I was trying to be good, but that Crunchy French Toast was calling me...I might have to go back there and make someone order it so I can have a bite. Or two. My shredder bowl was fantastic! Huge serving and every bite was bursting with flavor. I like how you are able to customize the bowls to your liking (brown rice/quinoa, lettuce/spinach, choice of protein). Everyone else enjoyed their meals as well. Potato crusted turkey burger- will have to try soon. Service was great, no complaints there. Now if they could open a spot in St Pete...preferably off 4th St...that would be awesome! ;)

So many choices. The Daily Eats menu includes breakfast anytime, plus lunch and dinner. There are several cheesy macs, burgers, a dozen or so each of shredder bowl choices and house specialties, and of course, big salads. The options are almost endless since there are additional choices with so many of the menu items. Even gluten free and vegetarian options so everyone can find something they like. With the chopped salad, you can add goat cheese, bleu cheese crumbles, substitute spinach for Romaine, and/or add shredded turkey, pork or chicken. With the strawberry salad, you can add angus or turkey burger, fried or grilled natural chicken breast, shredded NY strip, or add bison or ahi tuna. The strawberry salad with Romaine, candied pecans, and bleu cheese crumbles with strawberry vinaigrette was amazing. Both the bison and ahi tuna add-ons sounded tasty but I opted for the sushi grade ahi tuna. Delicious. Everything was super fresh: red, ripe, juicy strawberries, crisp romaine, crunchy pecans, and perfectly cooked ahi tuna. Bangin. Great location right on the corner of S Howard and W Bristol with free parking across the street. Definitely on my list of go-to places if I'm in the area.
(4)Ali C.
I can't wait for the St Pete location to open . . . oh my . . . classic comfort / diner food done right with a couple of twists. I wanted to try so many things, decisions decisions. Between 5 of us we tried lots of the menu and nothing disappointed. The service was fine. It is not a large place so the wait can be long. Lots of two tops and probably nothing larger than for a group of 5-6. Enjoy!!
(4)Karen K.
Today was the first time we were ever at Daily Eats. It was very enjoyable. It's a pleasant restaurant. The hostess and our waitress were both helpful and cheerful. Both me and my husband ordered the same meal, Crunchy French Toast. It was delicious. Soft, thick slices and sweet - especially with the powdering of confectionary sugar - with that extra crunch that comes from the bread being rolled in crushed Cap'n Crunch cereal. It's a little too far from us for just a casual drop-in, but I would definitely go again.
(4)Sundi P.
We stopped here after an interview I had downtown. I wanted French Toast and this place did not disappoint. The Captain Crunch French Toast was yummy and crunchy. The place is very cute and was very busy the entire time we were there. We will definitely be back and I don't think I'll be able to try anything else. :)

I'll go to Daily Eats any time of Day or Night. Today I was Greeted by Travis. He's friendly and very professional. After 2pm is my Favorite Time of the Day to go. The 2-7pm Specials Are A Must Do. Great Music from 60s to 80s. Great Variety of Tunes. Everybody has that "Feeling Good Vive". There's always something. That will do it for me here. Their Coffee is Served Fresh, right temp. and Best of All with A Smile. Their Staff works hard to Satisfy you. And, boy are they busy. Takes very dedicated people, with decorum and Great People Skills. to have the "Patience" when time is limited to talk and listen to the customer. They have excellent professional etiquette. Even when having to take extra time. Answering questions. Making Suggestions for Subtracting or Adding Items to Customize your selections. And Meet Your Needs and or Wants. NOW THATS Class. And, in my observation. Experience, Good Training. And Yes, Teamwork. Today, Bianca was our Server. She was remarkable, "Can't Believe She Remembered" How I ordered My Custom Prepared Lox Bowl. She takes the Credit for her assistance w/the Choices of Ingredients. I am not able to eat Gluten or Lactose. My Lox Bowl, was another Hit:-) it Consisted of Lox, this time I chose X-Tra Lox. Wanted more Protein Power,Moist Fresh Scrambled Eggs, Brown Rice, Fresh Spinach( Was Savory, Perfect) WOW! And of Course Capers. Just the right amount. Today Will and his Crew. Where really rocking in that Open Kitchen. Started my meal with their OMG. Traditional Mimosa. 2$ from 2-7pm Everyday. Can't go wrong with that. And, needed to stay on the Cool Side. Hey, it's Summer in Fl. Ice Tea. Chills things Down. Their Portions are generous. It's what I call Comfort Food. Glad I opted for the Big Bowl. It's great taking a Favorite Food Home. Puts a Big Yay, tomorrow on my Day.

After our pre-picked out place was closed on Mondays we decided on our second choice thanks to Yelp. Daily Eats fed us well and was easy on the wallet. I had the famous Cap'n Crunch french toast. While I could clearly see it crushed and coated on the outside of the massive stack of bread, I did not add much noticeable flavor to it which left me a little disappointed. I was between the toast and a pancake so now I'll have to switch it up when I come back. Serving was huge so if you're hungry this will cure you. Guy had one of the breakfast bowls. He had the lox bowl that comes with eggs, chives, smoked salmon and more including a tasty chive sauce on the side. The best part was tots on the bottom of the bowl to add crunchiness to your bites. Yum! He was very pleased with his choice. Servers were busy at the late breakfast/ lunch rush so I don't hold that against them. Seating outside was tight but still enjoyable. We'd come back again.
(3)Tricia T.
Finally ate here and will definitely be back!! Food- potato chip crusted turkey burger. Yes, please! The bun was a little disproportioned to the patty, but regardless- it was good. Went during the week so no wait for a late lunch, but it's a small place so I can see the wait being long on the weekends. I'm honestly between a 3 1/2 and a 4. It's a diner so you get just that. I'd say it's a classed-up diner though. Service - meh. This is the 3 1/2 star part. For being not very busy, it took an awful long time for drink refills and napkins. I'll be back though! Love the group that this restaurant is a part of. Can't go wrong.
(4)LeeAnna P.
I've been here maybe 6 times and would have previously given this place 3 stars had it not been for the POTATO CHIP CRUSTED TURKEY BURGER W/ TOTS. Yum! This is on my new list of crave foods. I think I've had this burger 3 times in the last 2 months. Such simple, yet perfect flavors with the remoulade sauce and pickles. Tater tots and ketchup just add to the deliciousness. Other than that, I've had breakfast items: omelettes, pancakes, French toast. All not bad. I think I tried the Cali bowl once. Can't remember much about it. Not sure if I'll be able to try anything else in the future as I will always be here for the POTATO CHIP CRUSTED TURKEY BURGER. Oh service here has always been great. Friendly, down-to-earth people. I'll be back!

This place serves Cap'n Crunch french toast. That should entice you enough to have brunch here. Period. But seriously, Daily Eats is pretty amazing. My cousin and I originally wanted to come by on a Sunday morning but they were absolutely slammed with customers, so we opted to come back another day to give them a shot. DE is more or less the size of your average diner, with seats inside and outside under a canopy. The waiters/waitresses here are top notch and super friendly if you're new to the place. The one we had specifically was a spitfire and we joked back and forth with her the whole time, obviously leaving her a generous top because of it. Onto the food. DE seemed to cater more towards the breakfast and brunch crowds, but that didn't stop them from having some pretty mouthwatering lunch and dinner options. We opted on getting brunch since it was sort of in the middle of morning and afternoon and I was craving something with an egg in it. I got the Jersey Shore with a side of fresh fruit while my cousin got The Smitty also with a side of fresh fruit. I then ordered one piece of french toast for both of us to try, and got super excited when our waitress asked whether I wanted regular or Cap'n Crunch. Obviously when Cap'n Crunch is offered, you go with that, especially when, A. You've never had french toast with it, and B. It's Cap'n Crunch. She came out not long after with our entrees and packed the table to the brim with food. My entree ended up being a bacon, egg, and cream cheese sandwich, with a burger and onions, on an everything bagel. You wouldn't expect cream cheese to go well with a burger, but man was it good and it definitely filled me up. My cousin's came out in a big bowl with pieces of scrambled eggs, bison meat, cheddar, and red onions served over brown rice. I had a few bites and fell in love with it, especially with the bison meat. The french toast by the way, flawless. There wasn't an overpowering of Cap'n Crunch flavor, but just enough for it to be noticeable. Not to mention, you don't need syrup for this one, it's fantastic without it. Daily Eats is a BIG must if you're in the Tampa area for both the food and the hospitality. I know I'll be back here next time I'm down in Florida.
(5)Inga S.
Love it. Shredder bowls are excellent. The burger one takes like a Big Mac in a bowl.
(5)Hana C.
Good service. Cute restaurant. Had the Smitty and Hard Body. Both were perhaps their more healthier options. The former had bison meat and brown rice; the latter was with egg whites, turkey, quinoa, and spinach. Both were good but the bison needed more flavor, seasoning...something extra. I could see myself coming back here...maybe for their less healthy options

I was kicking off 2015 with a nice healthy lunch at Daily Eats on South Howard, and had the pleasure of enjoying the company of my Yelp friend, Michelle M. We were renewing our semi-regular monthly lunch meeting to catch up on news and good eats. Neither of us had eaten at Daily Eats, so this seemed like the perfect excuse to try this South Tampa eatery for lunch. As many people know, Daily Eats is part of the successful Ciccio Restaurant Group which includes Ciccio Cali, Ciccio's / Water, the Lodge, Green Lemon, and Fresh Kitchen. These folks seriously love the South Tampa area, and they've done a great job helping to shape the restaurant scene in the region. You'll find Daily Eats along S. Howard Avenue, just south of Swann, and at the intersection of Bristol Avenue. Parking in this area can be a challenge, but they have a small lot between Green Lemon and Daily Eats, and a larger lot across the street for these two restaurants. Daily Eats is a refurbished two-story house right on the corner, and they've taken full advantage of the wrap-around veranda porch to offer al fresco dining for smaller groups. Inside the restaurant you'll find booths, and a casual diner-like atmosphere. Outside is more relaxed, and a nice place to sit when the weather cooperates. Much like a diner you can order breakfast at any hour which includes traditional omelets, egg dishes, French toast, and pancakes -- but all with a playful twist. French toast covered with Cap'n Crunch cereal, or how about scrambled eggs with diced onions, tomatoes, scallions and capers on a bed of tater tots topped with smoked salmon and served with a side of scallion cream cheese all in a bowl? If breakfast isn't your thing, then flip the menu over to see their selection of burgers, mac n cheese, or a nice mix of sandwiches that come with fries, tots, salad, cole slaw, baked beans or fresh fruit. For an upcharge you can go wild and get sweet potato fries, chili cheese fries and more. Now in the middle of the back page are what they call "Shredder Bowls", and this has nothing to do with snowboarding in Vail. Nope, these are their take on fresh ingredients and various proteins served over a bed of brown rice or quinoa, and mixed shredded lettuce or spinach. I liked the sound of their Gyro Shredder Bowl which was gyro meat, tomatoes, onions, pepperoncini, feta, tzatziki sauce and white balsamic vinaigrette, served over brown rice with spinach. They have about ten different styles of these shredder bowls which run about $10 for a very filling meal. Michelle and I both had shredder bowls and liked them very much. Delicious, healthy food at a fair price, and a very relaxed atmosphere. I will be back to try some of their breakfast choices next time.
(4)Ingrid B.
Oh how I miss having lunch here! Since I'm now in St Pete during work hours I've had to settle for visiting during other times. Every visit here has been great. Staff is always so nice and friendly. On this visit, my sister and I had a late lunch on a rare weekday off. We shared the tater hater, cause how can you not start with loaded tater tots? We both had bowls and they were both delicious as usual. I don't think you could go wrong with a Daily Eats bowl!
(5)Kelly K.
My favorite place!! The food is great and they have an awesome staff. I love that they have healthy options.
(5)Kim G.
I came here for breakfast with my bestie last weekend. I loved it. Great food and service. The place is kind of small, so if you want to sit inside, I suggest you get there early. I believe this place is owned by the same group that owns Cicco's, the Lodge and the Green Lemon, so expect similar type of food (but good food none the less). Also, all of the servers are very attractive, so if that's important to you, there you go. The only thing that disappointed me was I could not get a mimosa, due to it being Sunday and us getting there before 11am (stupid Florida law). Otherwise, it as a great meal with great company. I will definitely come here again, and I will make sure I'm there when mimosas are served.
(5)Jazz K.
Came into town for family and loved the brunch we had here. The captain crunch French toast.. shut the front door. The Memphis chicken sandwich was juicy and had great crunch. I have already recommended it to my family and will return when I'm in town. Jay the waiter was great.
(5)Alex R.
I loved eating here. It is a classic diner on the inside and the staff, at least sitting at the bar, was welcoming, informative and attentive. After learning it was my first visit I got some great recommendations which is a great idea for servers to help you feel welcome. I ate the grits and Bronx Bully Benedict...steak and poached eggs with hollandaise. Yum!! The grits do not need doctoring so try them before adding butter or salt or anything. Breakfast with coffee was $15 which is a little high, but for the area I might be ok. I will be back to try some other dishes.. also open for lunch and dinner.
(4)Kimber A.
Excellent service. It was pretty busy on a weekday during lunch. Had to wait about 15 minutes to be seated. Didn't mind though. I had 2 babies with me so we were more than happy to wait for an appropriate table that could fit high chairs. The tater tots on the appetizer menu were to die for! I got some kind of BLT bowl and it was delicious. It was more first time going here and I will definitely be back! Even the customers were all very friends and down to earth. Maybe it was because my babies are cute?
(4)Brian H.
Driving around Tampa looking for a place to eat and stopped by since we have heard great things about it. I ordered the sirloin egg bowl and she had the turkey hash bowl. The meat was tender, more so then you would have one Philly steak which I loved. It was missing some seasoning however. The turkey hash bowl was interesting but did not resemble hash by any means. I am no hash expert but her was flavored much better than mine. We heard they had crispy toast crunch. Hmmmm ok I'm in. Did a single slice as an appetizer. Pro- tasted good, perfect for a desert. Con-wasnt crispy and came the same time as our meal (which it probably isn't a popular request so we didn't care much) All in all I'd say I would go again if I saw a better selection on the menu for breakfast. Their lunch items I'm definitely in to try..
(4)Sara S.
One of the best breakfast places. This is an easy and obvious go-to place for breakfast, and probably more since I see some beer and wine specials, but for me, it's one of the best breakfasts in town. Good food, good service, good prices. I haven't had anything I didn't enjoy. My favorite is the onyx breakfast sandwich. It's simple and simply tasty served with some soft but crispy outside potatoes, turkey sausage, eggs, cheese, multigrain bread. Throw a little ketchup and Tobasco, voila! Staff is always awesome. I wonder where they find and train these amazing people sometimes. As busy as it gets, everyone is in positive spirits and always attentive. They will also help you if you're new to the menu or unsure of what to get. They seem to know their product. It's a loud and bustling restaurant with a diner kind of feel. There will be a wait at peak times, but you can sit outside if it's not hot for you and traffic noise doesn't bother you. Parking is available in a large shared lot, on the street or in another lot across the street.
(5)India M.
Decided to check this place out with a friend, and i'm glad we did. I had a breakfast bowl and she tried the burger both were amazing the food was fresh & delicious our server Lauren was awesome!! Overall great experience!!! I will definitely be back there were so many choices between the breakfast and lunch menu I can't wait to return.
(5)Anthony C.
Whenever I'm home I come here at least a couple times a week. All of there food is done well. You can get your traditional diner food from great burgers to an awesome triple decker club. Or, you can go for a little bit on the healthier side with a Thai Peanut bowl. The wait staff are very nice and have a relaxed vibe to them. If I would have to pick anything that some people would complain about, it would probably be that the girls working there could tie their hair up a little bit to avoid it swinging into the food. I myself haven't had a problem with it, but heard some friends mention it. Overall this place is great, the prices are fair, staff is friendly, and I love all of the food. My favs are: * Thai peanut bowl * New Yorker eggs Benedict * buffalo chicken sandwich * Triple decker club w/ chicken * Pancakes ( THESE ARE STUPID GOOD)
(4)Bill B.
Always a good place to stop in for a bite!
(5)Roxanna M.
This is one of my favorite spots in town. If you love a good diner experience like I do then don't miss out on Daily! I have never had something that I did not love. A really great staff from the hostess to the servers just really friendly! Of course they have milkshakes, and Ray our server did an outstanding job! You will be a hooked after the first visit.
(5)Candace D.
This place is so fun!!!! Especially for after work mimosas!!!!!! This is a cool little diner, the food is super yummy (breakfast and lunch) and they serve mimosas of many different flavors!!!!! I work as a nurse and sometimes after a long shift my coworkers and I love to go up here and enjoy a cocktail with breakfast (or I guess its our dinner lol)! We were coming so frequently, the manager started giving us (or anyone else in scrubs) mimosas for $2 !!!!! YUM-O!
(4)Cecille R.
This is a definite must for breakfast/brunch in Tampa. Thank goodness for great recommendations from friends because we would have not come across this place otherwise. We were staying in Downtown Tampa but it was an easy and quick 10 minute drive to get here. The parking lot was full but, thanks to our patience, we scored a spot in the adjacent lot. (Check out the gorgeous "You Are Beautiful" graphic on the brick wall) No worries though because there is additional parking across the street. Since it was a Sunday morning there was a bit of a wait outside. You have to sorta force yourself through the throngs of people at the door to get to the person who is taking names for the wait list. They asked where we preferred to be seated and we told them first available. Which worked in our favor since they had a table available on the covered patio. The bigger sized parties had more of a wait so keep that in mind. Our server was great and gave us a rundown on their menu. The breakfast bowls are the popular choice-- eggs and toppings on top of a bed of home fries (yummy seasoned potatoes). She also recommended the Chef's Famous crunchy French toast which uses Captain Crunch cereal in its coating! I went with the Tijuana breakfast bowl while my husband went with the Bacon & Eggs breakfast bowl. We also got the French toast to share. Since I was a little under the weather, I went with the OJ but got a little jealous seeing the folks next to us with their bloody marys. Next time!! The food was delicious and way more than I anticipated. I am one that hates to waste but I really couldn't finish my breakfast bowl. It was huge (think pasta bowl size). On top of home fries was a bed of scrambled eggs topped with 3 bean veggie chili, shredded jalapeno jack, tomatoes and guac! OMG sooo good but very filling. My husband's meal was simple - potatoes, eggs, bacon and cheese . The French toast was tasty and better than I was expecting. Only thing that was a concern was that there are only 2 restrooms (male and female). So that means the line can back up quickly .... Overall, we had an excellent meal. Quick seating , great service and awesome food. We will be back someday!
(4)Anthony D.
The service was great, my dad ordered a chocolate milkshake (his indulgence) & they were out of chocolate ice cream but the waiter offered him a specialty shake for the same price. I had the Thai Peanut Bowl, my daughter had the Chicken & Cheese and dad had a BLT; all were amazing. My other daughter ordered a buffalo Mac n Cheese, pretty good but the large was too much.
(4)Meredith A.
small on the interior of this place so plan on waiting or get there at a magical time. Every time I've been to Daily Eats the service is great and the wait staff is always eager to explain the menu and walk you through any questions you may have. I love how small it is! Sometimes when I go into big restaurants you feel a disconnect from the true atmosphere of the place. Here, the wait staff explains their POV and makes you feel welcome. The food is amazing. The Eggs Benedict is my personal recommendation! OH I almost forgot about the PANCAKES. probably some of the best pancakes I've ever tasted. Great texture and cinnamony flavor
(5)Jamie K.
Our final stop on our tour de Tampa was a must have breakfast at Daily Eats on the way out of town. Another place we would hit up on the regular when we lived there and it was exactly as we remembered. I love the concept of this place because it takes your traditional breakfast favorites and turns them on their heads. For example, the breakfast bowls - take your traditional eggs benedict - eggs, ham and hollandaise sauce on an English muffin right? Daily Eats takes those yummy ingredients, mixes them in a bowl, breaks up the English muffin, mixes that in as well and wa-la a breakfast bowl is born! They have several well-known a.m. favorites made into bowls i.e. french toast and eggs or bacon and eggs as well as their own twist, the Tijuana - scrambled eggs, three bean vegetable chili, shredded jalapeno jack, tomoatoes and guacamole on a bead of home fries. Hello! Or should I say, hola? The morning the hubs and I went, I indulged in one of those bowls myself, I was going back and forth between the Cap'n Crunch French toast bowl and the cinnamon French toast and scrambled eggs bowl. I was unsure whether the Cap'n Crunch bowl would be too sweet; my server warned it was on the sweet side, but she did also say it was one of her favorites. I erred on the side of caution and went with the cinnamon toast choice, but after hearing everyone around me comment on and order the other, I immediately regretted my decision. My husband, the meat lover, went with the obvious, carnivore omelet which is exactly that, bacon, sausage, ham, cheddar cheese and scallions. I have to say, after the first bite of my bowl, all my indecision went out the window, it was AH-MAZING. The cinnamon French toast gave it just enough sweetness to compliment the mild flavor of the eggs. When I say mild, I don't mean tasteless, they were very good, fluffy scrambled eggs; the salty to the sweetness of the toast. My husband really enjoyed his omelet and commented on the amount of meat it had. It was a very thick, well-stuffed omelet that he deemed one of the best he's ever had (next to my dad's of course.) We were unable to finish our plates as they are hefty portions for morning, but the meal was every bit as good as we remembered. Daily Eats is a quaint, local favorite for South Tampa residents and even for us all the way down in South Florida. If you are in the area around lunch time, they also have a great lunch menu as well as other restaurants in their group (also some of our favorites) Ciccio and Tony's, Green Lemon and Water. You can't go wrong with any of them! These guys put love in their food!
(5)Jules D.
I flipping love this place so much. Their sweet potato fries with honey are amazing and they have gluten free options on the menu! Super exciting. The staff and managers are very friendly. I come by at least once a month to get my sweet potato fry on!!!
(5)Katie J.
This is the best breakfast joint in downtown Tampa. Who can argue with a menu full of breakfast options for people who like either sweet, savory, or spicy. Plus... mimosas..... the best! I stop here all the time.
(5)James J.
Excuses can be a dime a dozen when it comes to restaurants, whether it be the "rush" or an event that surges business. Tempers can flare, service can fall, and consistency in what winds up on the plate is not always guaranteed. Cue my trip to Daily Eats during what I can only imagine to be a citywide day of hangovers for Tampa: Gasparilla. Any kind soul will cut slack to a little sluggishness or missteps, but it is up to the business to recognize and remedy problems even when the heat is turned up. Daily Eats might have been having a 3-star day, but they had more than enough proof in practice and food-deliciousness to insure I will stop in again. The Space Right off of Southern Howard (SoHo) and just a stretch from the bay, Daily Eats occupies a relatively small building that, thanks to ample outdoor seating, can comfortably maintain the happy masses they attract. The decor is what I might call diner-chic, with bright orange and yellow furnishings throughout. Booths, tables, and a bar all give the opportunity for your most comfortable choice, but no matter where you sit, the foot traffic is constant. The Service Our group of 6 knew what we were getting into at noon on a Sunday after a major local holiday when seeking out the most splendiferous of meals (read: brunch). Given an estimate of 1 hour to be seated, we waited out the minutes with a cup of coffee from Starbucks and suffered through tummy rumbling until getting a pretty roomy booth. The waitress that came to us was swift, vibrant, and helpful in knocking out drink orders and making recommendations beyond the "well this is good". Hearing my choice was best paired with an over-medium versus over-easy egg, for example, was welcomed feedback when she could have easily rushed away and left it at that. Once the orders were placed, though, the mood began to decline. The staff was all over the place in a frantic attempt to keep up with the crowd. This resulted in dropped dishes and projectiles flying at ourselves and patient patrons. There could definitely have been a benefit to slowing down just a wee bit. Then, when we saw that 3 meals came out before 3 others, we became dismayed. Apparently the highly-regarded Captain Crunch French Toast was held up for lack of batter, and was now starting to be made at the time 3 meals were placed on the table. Not a great decision by the kitchen, but I imagine communication was off. That said, when defeat was accepted and our checks came, the waitress frantically rushed out to stop us from signing. Without a single request or complaint from our group, the management comped ALL french toast orders and drinks for us. Stunning, stellar empathy to recognize and act on shortcomings so intentionally. It was as if letting us leave having paid full price would have been hurtful to the powers that be. I love a business like this. The Food For all the scrambled that this egg was turning out to be, I can easily attest to the food tasting pretty great: Bloody Mary (C+) felt non-traditional and was heavy in both lime and sweetness. While I could appreciate the idea behind it, I definitely am a classic tomato-hugs-spice kind of guy for this cocktail. Tijuana Breakfast bowl (B+) embodied my favorite southwestern omelet ingredients into a delicious, layered bowl of goodness. The over-medium egg melts amongst the layers of cheese, chili, and potato to make each bite equally awesome, not to mention a dose of cool sour cream and creamy guac to round out the kick. I asked for a side of sriracha as well (because I am weird like that) and was pleasantly surprised to get a, somewhat small, but tasty version I suspect might be made in-house (would love to know if I am right about this). Captain Crunch French Toast (A) was hyped up to me before I even set foot in the door by a coworker, and it did not let me down. The coating was not too thick, and with the cereal finely milled into the batter, each slice had the memorable taste of Saturday morning cartoon marathons. I was concerned it might taste too much like cereal and not enough like quality brunch, but this fear was immediately disspelled. This not even to mention how fluffy and thick the slices were, resulting in mouthfuls of sweet, syrupy clouds. A must-have if you are a fan of sweet at breakfast time. Final Thoughts The area has a lot to offer when it comes to food, and I imagine the competition is stiff on any given day. Daily Eats's menu is bountiful and fun, in addition to unique daily specials, but I saw this trend in a few other spots I considered. When you can count on above-average being a given, the truly great must go the extra mile. The parts of my experience that leave me wanting, and that could have spelled a so-so aftertaste, also managed to be a highlight of my visit. I look forward to a future chance at tossing the missing star onto this review because, with a bit less fluster, Daily Eats would have the whole shebang.

Good place, with solid good food.

Ugh no no no! I gave DE a second chance and have really liked the food there recently but I have to update my review again because this is the second time I've found hair in my food and it's REALLY gross. I understand that these things happen, but I think finding hair in my food on two separate occasions is way too many hairs for me. Who knows, I may just be the only one who noticed the hair and said something about it. The manager was nice and took my meal off of the check, but I am very hesitant to come back now that I've had the same thing happen twice. Apparently this was a problem way back when from what the manager told me, but it seems like it hasn't been fixed yet. Ultimately I just don't want to go somewhere and be grossed out by my experience so I really don't want to go back to DE now. The food is good, but cleanliness is really important to me and I think I value that way more in a dining experience.

I LOVE this diner. It really helps maintain the neighborhood feel for those of us who live near South Howard among the college bars and the expensive restaurants. It's perfect for a relaxed breakfast or late night pick me up... It's especially great for cheap, feel good take-out on a rainy night! My favorites: The dougie, Greek shredder bowl w Turkey, Buffalo Chicken Mac, & of course the Oreo Shake!

This banana lover will be back for the banana french toast. When I ordered them I thought I was just getting a few slices of french toast with banana slices on top. When my order arrived....happiness. The bananas are IN the slices. They were so tasty. I am also a huge fan of sweet potatoes so when I had the option of ordering sweet potato fries with my french toast I was very happy. I also really like the green juice that I tried. I ordered the Big Green O. It was very green and very good. It was $5 for a small glass and I did think that was a bit pricey but it was tasty so I may try another :)
(5)Cece C.
When in doubt, get a shredder bowl! That was one of the first meals I had upon moving to Tampa a few years ago and is still just as good. This place is BUSY. To say the least. We sat inside but probably should have been outside since you could barely hear yourself talk. The food was good, and service was fine. Seems like a fun place for lunch or brunch on a lazy day. I didn't know they were dog-friendly, but I plan on bringing the pup next time for sure.
(4)Ramona P.
If I could give 10 stars I definitely would! This place is awesome! A couple of friends and I ate here every single day on our vacation in Tampa!!! I was so sad when I had to leave. Try the captain crunch french toast...you will thank me later!
(5)Sara J.
First time. There was a wait but thankfully just 15 minutes. Sat in my car and waited not so patiently... What! I was hungry..... Small place inside. Everyone is real nice. Fast paced. Our server was Jay. Very nice. Took our order and we had our food in 10 minutes! That was much appreciated! I had the Mexican omelette. He had the Greek omelette. Both were very good. The house fries on the other hand, I didn't like.... Needs onions or something......too mushy. Table was small and wobbly. Had a big bin of creamer and jam.... Overall, great food and good service! Lots more stuff I need to try! We will be bacccck!

I've dismissed Daily Eats for years, assuming it was nothing more than your typical diner fare. Little did I know that I was missing out on Cap'n Crunch Crispy French Toast, Potato Chip Crusted Turkey Burgers, and Apple Pie Milkshakes. My favorite Yelper and lunch buddy, Steve E. agreed to join me for lunch last Friday at Daily Eats. After hearing the daily specials and looking over the menu we decided to start the New Year afresh and order the healthy Shredder Bowls. These unique bowls offer a combination of fresh vegetables and healthy proteins served over a bed of brown rice or quinoa and shredded lettuce or spinach. The bowls come in half portions at $6.50 or full bowls at $10. (Additional charges apply for quinoa, spinach, NY strip or ahi tuna.) The full portion was filling, but not large enough for leftovers. I would only suggest ordering the half bowl as a light snack or accompanied with another item on the menu. Steve ordered the Gyro Shredder Bowl with gyro meat, tomatoes, onions, pepperoncini, feta, tzatziki sauce and white balsamic vinaigrette served over brown rice and spinach. I ordered the Greek Shredder Bowl with shredded chicken, cucumbers, kalamata olives, pepperoncini, garbanzo beans, feta, white balsamic vinaigrette and oregano served over brown rice and spinach. Both of us agreed that the Shredder Bowls were a delicious and healthy lunch option. Breakfast, my favorite meal of the day, is offered at Daily Eats during all hours of operation so I will be back to try one of the six egg benedict options... and a breakfast bowl.... and the Cap'n Crunch French Toast! Oink! Oink! TIP: Parking is limited during peak hours, but a complimentary parking lot is located across the street.

This is one of my neighborhood faves! I especially enjoy the breakfast options but lunch and dinner are good here too. The specialty throughout the Ciccio's chain of restaurants is the bowl whereby a bunch of listed incredients are pile atop a base in a bowl. For breakfast this is usually potato and at lunch/dinner its usually a starch like rice or pasta. Again I love Daily Eats breakfast so I usually come for the Captain Crunch French Toast with cheesy bacon grits. My sister is a fan of the CNC Pancakes also accompanied by the cheesy bacon grits. I have tried several menu items and I have not been disappointed with anything but the waldorf bowl. Its a waldorf salad on rice ... yeah just give me the salad instead. The prices average $10 per entree item which makes it an affordable place to have a quick bite to eat. Oh now understand quick is a relative term depending on the time of day you visit. This place is popular so you will always find a line out of the door for lunch and weekend brunch. Its a tried and true family fave for us so its definitely worth a try.
(4)Erica S.
This is a cute and casual diner-style place that is great for any meal. We had the shredder bowls, which come in two sizes so you can order depending on your appetite. The ingredients were fresh and really tasty. I had the fish taco bowl with tuna and tried he thai peanut with chicken. I loved the fish taco bowl, but the thai peanut was a little salty for me. We also had the Mac and cheese, which was flavorful and not too rich. The burgers and brunch sound amazing, so I will definitely be back. Overall this is a delicious mostly healthy option for any meal!
(4)Mike L.
This is the kind of place you would find on Diners, Drive-in and Dives. And that means this is the kind of place I want to eat. For starters, my sister and I got into Tampa Airport at 9am. After picking up the rental and checking on Yelp, we found this spot for breakfast cause we was starvin. We both had some ice coffee concoction that was OK, not sweet enough for my liking, but thats just me. There was a hint of flavor, but overall it was good. Wanna say there was almond milk in it, but I am writing this review 11 days later. For breakfest I had the French Toast and Egg bowl, which was mouth watering. My sis and I split a slice of the Crunch French Toast, which if I had known how good it was (though the waitress did tell me how slammin' it is) I would have ordered 4 more slices. The place was very packed, then again it was Sunday morning and being from northern NJ, I'm use to it (though not the humidity, so we waited longer to sit inside). This joint got it going on and from what I've seen and was told, the area is going through a transition and is becoming a hot spot. Check this place out and you won't be feeling hungry or disappointed. It's because of Yelp, we are able to find these great hidden gems.
(5)J O.
I have been here several times and always loved what I've ordered. Get what ever Taylor recommends because it will be your new favorite! I'm not sure what it was called...hope she remembers on my next visit. They keep this place spotless and it always helps when they have employees like Taylor that are very nice and helpful. I will definitely ask for her next time.
(4)Diana A.
Love love love this place. My boyfriend took me for brunch and we sat outside which wasn't unbearably hot. Thank god. The server was so welcoming, and had knowledge on the menu which is always my favorite. She was also giving us her favorite items which I enjoyed. We both got breakfast bowls which were yummy. We also got a side of their captain crunch French toast. This is a dish that is discussed a lot on their yelp . I LOVED it. Next time I'll be ordering it as my main dish. We also had mimosas which were so good. The experience as a whole was great. We will deff be back .
(5)Erica L.
Good food and OK service. Always too packed to get a relaxed vibe when I go. The french toast is great!
(4)Judy M.
Thank you, Yelp! You found this gem for us! Great service, great food!!!! Superb home fries! We will be back to try more of your culinary delights!
(5)Samantha J.
I've been here many times and I've never been disappointed. The staff is always super courteous and friendly and it's never been a long wait time for s table. That being said, I've also only gone on weekday mornings after working and weekday afternoons - I hear the weekends can get crowded. I love that it's a little hole in the wall place to eat but the food is AMAZING. I've had both breakfast and lunch here and it's been so good every time. Their pancakes are some of the best I've ever had and I highly recommend the Dougie breakfast bowl in particular - egg whites, turkey sausage, and cinnamon wheat pancakes chopped and mixed in a bowl YUM! Sitting outside could get a little loud because you're right next to Howard Ave and there is a decent amount of traffic. I highly recommend stopping by to grab a bite if you're in the area!
(5)Alicia P.
I've eaten breakfast, lunch and dinner here on a number of occasions. I like it! There are so many different items to choose from you can eat every meal here! For breakfast, my favorite options are the Dan (breakfast sandwich), the Greek Omelette with oatmeal and the French Toast and Eggs breakfast bowl. For lunch, I can't seem to get away from the Waldorf shredder bowl with chicken, spinach instead of shredded lettuce, no blue cheese and my dressings on the side. Is SOOOOOO yummy! And for dinner, that option changes each time but always have a good meal. OH the TATER HATERS! Those are so fabulous. And $2 mimosas after 2 pm every day! Great for those late Sunday brunches. The diner feel is fun. It is always jam packed. The service is usually really good. There are only a couple times I can recall not the most attentive or nice service. The place always looks clean. The prices are very reasonable. It's a go-to spot when you can't figure out what you want or for a quick bite. Quick once you're seated. The wait times, depending on the day/time, can be long...
(4)Nicholas P.
Stopped by for breakfast this beautiful Saturday morning and almost decided to find somewhere else when they told me it would be a half-hour wait for just me. I am very glad I decided to stay - the breakfast and service was well worth the wait. My server, Victor, was extremely attentive and friendly. I ordered a mimosa and the Broad St. Bully benedict sandwich, with some bacon and pancakes on the side. The drinks and food arrived quickly and were *delicious*. Saturday is my "go crazy" day after eating healthy all week, and apparently the owner or manager (I think) liked my gluttonous style (I promise I don't actually eat like this all the time) so much that he bought me another mimosa. Highly recommended (but be prepared to wait) and I'll definitely be back.
(5)Vikki Y.
Found this little gem in between audits and loved the food! I had the Captain Crunch French Toast, the Turkey Sausage with AVO and a side of potatoes. The Boss had pancakes and eggs. The food was delicious and the potatoes were so amazing the my boss ate all of it! I wish the juices were fresh squeezed but no worries because the service was really friendly and made up for it! If I ever go back I will definitely try this place again!
(4)Erin S.
This place is just as delicious as ever. I tried some new dishes recently after moving to south tampa that were absolutely incredible. They have a quesadilla on the appetizer menu that could totally be a meal with its size. And It was one hell of a quesadilla. It was stuffed with pulled pork, black beans, cheese, plaintains for a little sweetness, and served with a creamy/sweet sauce (cant remember what it was). Holy cow it was so good. I also ordered a patty melt that was flippin gigantic. The picture doesnt even do it justice. It was sinful, and I couldnt even get through half of it. Thanks for another gluttonous & glorious meal Daily Eats.
(5)Karen P.
I love eating in downtown areas, especially at local places that have a good vibe and menu. That being said, I was initially put off by the hostesses at DE. It was raining and the third member of our party dropped us off, so we didn't have to walk in the rain. "We can't seat you until your entire party is here," she said flatly and unappologetically. When we pointed to the door as our third arrived and said that's him, I saw an eye roll. I don't like seeing an eye roll. My other concern is that the shorts on the girls were too tight and short or they were wearing yoga crops, neither of which are appetizing to a straight lady who wants to enjoy their meal. If I wanted to go to Hooters or another kitschy bar, I would have gone there instead. Seeing young girls in their late teens and early twenties dressed like that simply didn't sit well with me. Our server was much nicer than the hostess which redeemed the dining experience a bit. My friends reassured me that the food, despite the rocky start, was well worth it. I enjoyed the Cap'n Crunch Milkshake which tasted like my childhood in a glass. The chopped bits of cereal were crunchy and the milkshake was nice and thick. I followed up with a Tampa Mule, and found it surprisingly refreshing. It was a nice local twist on the Moscow Mule. Next time, if my appetite permits it, I would like to venture into their food menu as many of the choices sounded outstanding. Hopefully the overall service will better next time.
(4)Mary E.
Good spot for brunch type food. We sat outside and there was no wait. there was a wait to eat inside , however. Outside was fine but the tables were a little small for my 6 foot 3 husband. Here is a rundown of our experience Service- Our server was a little off his game, my husband's water went without a refill despite it being empty and the server seeing this twice. I was not impressed with his waiting skills Food- I had the Tijuana bowl which was huge and filling.I liked the chick peas in the chilli. My husand had the carnivore omelet which was ok. Overall the meal was sufficient. I appreciate the fact that they incorporated healthy options in their menu such as quinoa and turkey bacon. Best thing there was the side of sweet potato fries with honey. I may just go back for that and try their bloody marys with it.
(4)Abbey M.
Went here for breakfast per suggestion from a friend who lives in Tampa. Let me just say, I was NOT disappointed! Each person in our group ordered something different but my two faves were: Chefs Crunchy French Toast (tastes like Captain Crunch and French toast - ah making!) and the Turkey Hash-savory deliciousness! I love how they have run of the mill breakfast items but they jazz them up. Example: The Dougie has pancakes, Turkey sausage and egg whites all combined in a bowl. Random but incredible at the same time. (a perfect blend of sweet and salty) STAFF : All very knowledgeable about the menu and they make great suggestions! DECOR : Very cute, feels like a modern day diner. ATMOSPHERE : Fun and welcoming. A wide variety of people. Tip : Try the shakes! You can't go wrong with any flavor and they are all handmade, yummmmmmy
(5)Kelly C.
This place is to die for. I've only been for breakfast twice but I plan on coming back for lunch or dinner. Both times I ordered chocolate chip & oreo pancakes (yes, they are as delicious as they sound) with home fries. They also have many healthy options but obviously I chose to indulge. Try it! You won't be disappointed!
(5)Anousha H.
Favorite spot for lunch, brunch & breakfast!! Highly recommend checking it out. I have been a loyal customer to Daily Eats for years & years. No matter where I go & what I do I always come back!! I have never had a bad experience with the food yet. I do have to warn you brunch or lunch on weekends specially has long waits & if you don't mind waiting then definitely try it out. They have the best sweet potato fries in Tampa bay in my opinion. The breakfast bowls, Benedict & omelets are all wonderful. The parfait are huge & delicious! Crunchy French toast is a must!! Salad bowls are amazing & all have wonderful flavors & excite your taste buds. Burgers & sandwiches are satisfying & yum!! Go. Run. Do it, get some Daily Eats!
(5)Christine M.
Stopped in for lunch we didn't have to wait which was a plus. They were serving breakfast still and a limited lunch menu. I got one of the shredder bowls which was good and my son had the buffalo chicken sandwich.
(3)Brooke K.
My husband and I were torn between having dinner here or at the Mexican place next door. We were already sitting down in Daily Eats when we decided to try the place next door instead. Since we had already ordered drinks we decided to split some chili cheese fries. The fries were pretty good, nice and crispy. The chilli probably would have been better in just a bowl, it was a little watery to put on top of fries. What really stood out was the service. The waitress was very friendly, quick, and efficient. When she heard us talking about going next store she said that we should really try to guacamole there as it is very good. All together were were probably in and out of Daily Eats in 10 minutes. We would definitely be willing to go here and try some other items on the menu because of the outstanding service.
(4)Elizabeth W.
My co-workers and I frequent here often after a long night at work for their amazing breakfast and their mimosa's! We love that after getting off a crazy night at work, when we show up in scrubs they are only $2! DEAL! They have some yummy flavors like blueberry, watermelon, apple, cranberry, of course original and a few I'm forgetting. This trip in particular Kodi waited on us and did a great job. I met a co-worker there after work (I was off the night before) and opted for a latte. Saddened to find out they were no longer serving expresso at all!! I got a house coffee instead. Kodi did mention that I could get flavoring in my coffee, and I'm glad she did :) My friend got her fav. blueberry mimosa. For breakfast I got the Heathy JL, which consisted of a spinach and tomato omelette along with a side of oatmeal with their house granola, and honey whipped yogurt. Now, when they say a side they really mean a bowl. I managed to eat my omelette but the amount of oatmeal that came was almost overwhelming! It was so much food!! It was all so good thou! Next time I may just order the oatmeal or the yogurt parfait because the honey whip infused yogurt and granola is to die for. Keep up the good work Daily Eats. You do breakfast right.
(5)Paul M.
This place is so delicious. They have an awesome menu for brunch! The location is superb. We order the mimosa tower every time. The service is always very good. The breakfast bowls are a great mix of your favorite breakfast items! Definitely try this place! You will not be disappointed.
(5)Arielle P.
Pretty neat spot on Howard for all day breakfast and lunch! Came here on a Monday morning for some hair of the dog and grub. Had their beer/Bloody Mary cocktail, forgot the name, but these are my favorite type of cocktail and they nailed. Nice and savory with a kick. Had the Tater Haters app which sent me into deep thought on why I hadn't thought of that on my own. A basic yet delicioussss combo. Omg, worst reviewer ever, I can't remember the names of anything! Well whatever, I had a eggs Benedict with NY strip steak and mushrooms with a side of fruit and it was damn good. Steak could've been warmer, but I still enjoyed the flavors. My friend is a fit junkie so she had a grilled chicken bowl with brown rice. Boring but she said it was good also.
(4)Cory K.
Great price point for the amount of food you get. It's top notch. Cap'n crunch French toast is on point and a lot more than I thought from what the menu said. Expect this place to be packed at noon. Coffee is great.
(5)Rachel O.
You would be foolish NOT to come here!! Absolutely amazing place plus amazing service! We were on our way back to the airport, yelped "breakfast" and luckily came across this place. I have never been happier with the quality of the food and the quality of the service before. It is most definitely a hidden gem. At least for me as a first time visitor, but soon to be resident of the area. Before I move down permanently I will be back to visit and I now have my new favorite breakfast/lunch place.
(5)Miranda S.
I had a great experience here! I ordered Dan's Chicken Melt, one of their house favorites, and it was the most delicious sandwich I've had in a long time. Their sweet potato fries cost extra but are worth the price. Did I mention they have an all day breakfast menu? My SO ordered a breakfast bowl and a milkshake and loved both. The milkshake was a bit pricey, but it looked like a work of art so I can't complain too much. Overall, the staff was friendly and the atmosphere was relaxed and inviting. However, it is a very popular place so if you go during a regular meal time, you might have to wait a while to get seated. Or you could do like we did and go in the middle of the afternoon and not wait at all.
(5)Peter C.
Been here a couple of time and every time I Come I'm never disappointed... The food is always great the service is always good and they always have great specials going on....
(5)Isabelle R.
This Jersey girl is happy to have a diner style place close by! Daily Eats is so yummy! Always a crazy long wait (brunch time on weekends, forget it!) but the food has always been a winner. I love The Lox, the Burger bowl, tater hater, Captain Crunch french toast. Great casual place for any meal of the day.
(4)Jennifer B.
Try the Captain Crunch French Toast!! So worth it! Deliciousness!! the prices were a tad bit much.. And not a lot of combos or specials. I Would definitely go back. CON: outdoor seating ridiculously cramped, inside is really small. BTW saw John Cena (WWE Celeb)
(4)Kristen B.
This is a great place for a casual brunch. Diner style eating. They have outside eating which is also nice and they are dog friendly. Don't expect fancy pants food but it's definitely tasty. Service can be slow when they get busy.
(4)Kris C.
The best breakfast I've ever had. The Fish Tacos can't be touched. Everything here is good. All the servers are super friendly. Just an overall great place.
(5)Erik E.
On the 7th day, as He sat back taking in his creations, God whipped up one final concoction--Captain Crunch French toast--which he catalogued in the Book of Eats. Everything I've had here is amazing and, based on the consistent crowd of brunch snobs and foodies, I'm not alone. Staff is incredible, too. Rock on Erin and crew.
(5)david k.
In Tampa for only a few days and tried to squeeze in as many food places as possible. Daily Eats was by far the best breakfast I've had. I was alone on a Friday lunch and the place was packed inside. Once I squeezed into a free spot on the bar eating area, a lined formed immediately behind me and the outside seating filled up quick. This was a good sign to me; so expect a wait when you get there. I had to get what a friend recommended to me and got a breakfast bowl and the french toast. I added a little guac on the bowl to make it "healthy". funny thing when I ordered the french toast was that when I was asked how I wanted it, at least 5 people around me unanimously said "crispy!" I'm glad I took their suggestion because I later found out it was covered in cap'n crunch. The bowl had plentiful eggs well scrambled and the bacon was done perfectly. The portions were huge and I was almost certain I was going to pack away what I couldn't finish off. Good thing for the endless topping off of hot coffee (and a to-go cup before I left), I stuck my guns and finished everything. I do know this, when I go back down to Tampa on a red-eye, this will be the reason why I even book the red-eye.
(4)Bob B.
I used to come here often with Betty back in the day. They are priced fairly and the food is pretty consistent. Eggs benedict was sometimes a crap shoot as they would be overcooked half the time. They have unique milkshakes and the service is very good. Haven't been here in a while, but wouldn't hesitate to stop in. On a side note, parking sometimes sucks when at peak moments but there is street parking close by.
(3)Caitlin S.
My mom and I stopped in for a quick lunch before my flight home and we left satisfied! We split a patty melt on a DE bun with sweet potato fries, and each got espresso. We got a puff'd (marshmallow) shake to go. We told the waiter we were kind of in a hurry, and he made sure to get us in and out quickly. The patty melt was delicious, cooked as ordered, lots of flavor. The sweet potato fries were drizzled with honey. Not as crispy as I like but they were tasty. The shake was good too, and I was impressed that they use real whipped cream. All in all service was excellent and the food was quite good. I would come back!
(4)Rose O.
Great breakfast. A hot spot.
(3)Sebastian M.
I don't live in Tampa, but I will definitely be returning every time I fly into the city. I wish I had a Daily Eats in my area. Service: Amazing! Our server Kate was spectacular and very attentive. wait time was minimal for the food to come out. Food: Ordered the NY Blue bowl; best choice I could have made. Great size portion, taste was great, a lot of steak. Over all, amazing! Also ordered the Oreo shake, It's a must!
(5)Patrick K.
Well It wasn't thanksgiving but i had the Turkey! This was not my first time to Daily Eats but it was my first time having lunch and boy was I pleasantly surprised. I ended up ordering the Turkey Burger dipped in Cornflakes with Fries (You have to have fries with a Burger) and let me tell you, WOW! this was delicious moist, hands down one of the guest burgers I have had. My two lunch companions had the rice bowls, one with Ahi and the other was Gyro and they both raved about how good theirs were as well. We got there at 11:50 and was seated within 15 minutes - during the lunch rush and trust me there was a bunch of customers waiting. We never felt rushed and our server was awesome. Guess what, Daily eats, you have me as a very satisfied customer
(5)Kim H.
So Daily Eats is a must stop when I am in Tampa!! I always get breakfast when I come. Today I decided to try something different. The greek Shredder bowl was delicious!! It was light, healthy, and full of flavor!! A must try for a light healthy lunch!!
(5)Fred D.
Always solid good food. Not a culinary experience but good old fashion food. Eat there often.
(4)Breonna L.
psssstttt, The apple-pie milkshake has crack in it. Okay, not literally but the milkshakes are sooo delicious and addicting, i was convinced that was something illegal in it! I couldn't stop myself from sipping the delicious heaven in a cup. When I first received my order, there was a long blond hair hanging out beside my pickle. The server took it back and they remade my food. The manager was really nice, apologized and took off of my bill. I've worked in fast food/restaurants before so I realize these things happen sometimes. Oh well, just remake my food and please hold off on the hair strings this time. I ordered a turkey burger on wheat with tots and it was very delicious (i made sure there were no hair in my food this time!). My friend ordered chili fries and a veggie burger. We both were satisfied with our food and service. I will come back again.
(4)Denise M.
Fun all-American classic diner with fast friendly service. Hubby and I stopped for breakfast based on other Yelper reviews and thoroughly enjoyed our meals. For this visit, it was only the two of us today so we didn't wait long for outside seating. I ordered a side of tater tots with "The Dan", gorgeous breakfast sandwich with eggs, bacon, fried jalapenos on a fresh chibatta. Hubby ordered the The Tijuanna bowl, a hot spicy mess of delicious. We both our meals and can't wait to visit again to try another Daily Eats favorite.
(4)Kwame O.
A partner of my who live in the area recommend this place. This is a solid small diner located in the SoHo district . I arrived in town in the morning to have breakfast. I was quickly seated . The place is pretty small and busy . Parking was a challenge. I ordered a California omelette that includes house made guacamole, potato frys and wheat toast . Over all a solid spot for breakfast. Full bar with happy hours specials also.
(5)Hassan A.
This one is simple. The service is great. The food is delicious. Eat here! I do every time I'm in town!
(5)Mindy M.
The Captain Crunch French Toast was amazing!! Don't forget a side of bacon!! I definitely recommend eating here. I ate on the patio and it was very relaxing!!
(5)Malia S.
I'd definitely go back to try other options on the menu. The Thai bowl was ok. Mom loves all the gluten free options.
(4)Amy Z.
Great breakfast place. Good selection of breakfast all day. Love the blueberry mimosas.
(4)Ashley R.
Good fun food. Really enjoyed this place. Will be back for more of those $2 mimosas. Service wasn't the greatest but $2 mimosas make up for that.
(4)Derek N.
You cannot go wrong eating here. Simply home cooked, comfort foods is why I like to go back. The burgers are juicy and well portioned, the mac n cheese decadent, and the breakfast bowls are to die for. The food comes out fast and hot. I love the combinations they use to make the menu fun and exciting. The problem I have is that I always want 3-4 items.... My favorite item is the buffalo mac n cheese bowl. I also like the Tater Hater which is there loaded tots. The parking is a little frustrating at times. They have a great happy hour special for drinks and food.

Love this place. I live down the street and often walk here to grab a burger bowl for dinner. It's also a must visit when friends are in town. Any dish with salmon is always amazing.The servers are always nice and never uppity. The prices are affordable and dishes are consistent.

This cool place in SOHO (south Howard Ave) has some great options. I ordered online and went to pick up. They have two reserved 10 minute spots for people picking up which is really convenient. The staff was friendly and knew what I was there for. I ordered the buffalo chicken shredder bowl and am currently stuffing my face, it's so good. I also ordered a side of sweet potato fries which are amazing as well. The half of the shredder bowl is kind of small, so I wish I had gotten the full but it's a good amount for what you pay. When I went to pick up the food people were eating outside with their dogs. I love that! I'll have to keep that in mind for taking our dog out around there.

So I go here all the time and love the food. But I just had the WORST service ever. We were completely ignored for the first ten minutes even though we were sitting right by the register. Everyone proceeded to chat and ignore us. Finally our server comes over after another server takes our drink order. Then doesn't come back at all. We get our food from someone else also. Then I had to stare down a waitress to make eye contact to get some pepper. After all this a totally different person brings us our check. No one asks if we want drink refills, dessert etc. . Mind you the whole time our server was within 5 feet from us. Get your shit together Daily Eats!

Simple food, quick and convenient. The wait can be a bit long so be prepared, but overall amazing.

I'm thinking the food may be a little hit or miss here because what I ordered looked nothing as good as the pictures posted here! Still, this is a cool diner in Tampa. Inside has the big booths reminiscent of a 50s diner. They have counter stools too. I am a big fan of their outdoor dining area; the patio offers plenty of shady thanks to the roof overhang. They have a great menu with lots of options, however you do get what you pay for here. I ordered the omelette with goat cheese and avocado. Three tiny slivers of avocado was what I got and there wasn't a tablespoon of goat cheese in the entire omelette. It was good but it could have been much better. The biggest issue with this place is the service, so if thats a big deal to you, then you will need to go elsewhere. We were in the mood for breakfast late on Sunday morning. The hostess sat us promptly with breakfast menus. It took at least 5 mins for the waitress to make the first stop and when she did she whisked the menus from our hands and told us they were switching to the lunch menu in a 2 minutes. Well, maybe if you greeted us when we first sat down 5 mins ago we could have ordered. I don't give up on a place just because of one below average service experience, so ill be back to try their other items and will update my review then.

My boyfriend and I were in town from Miami and love looking for new places to eat!! THANK YOU YELP FOR LEADING US HERE! We went on a Saturday morning. The food was simply amazing and tasted so fresh. We sat at the bar and got a perfect view of all the food being sent out. Everything being sent out had to be perfect! The staff was extremely nice and friendly. The waiter was very helpful and attentive. The food was very very tasteful and fresh!! We are going back for dinner because we loved it so much!
(5)Julie Mae C.
Delicious $2 mimosas after 2 pm on Saturdays and they serve breakfast all day! I had a special turkey hash panini type sandwich with homemade remoulade sauce and eggs! Cant wait to go back!
(5)Tina C.
I don't know what it is about brunch but I always order everything and I had the same problem here but actually finished it all. So good. The salmon lox was so fresh and generous on the salmon, the breakfast potatoes with the eggs were unreal. And the brunch drinks were perfect. Can't wait to go back when I'm in town !
(5)Dante G.
Took the whole family out last night! Kids love this place and my wife and I love this place! Good vibe great food and I absolutely love the vegan chili! We will definitely be back!

It's all about the chocolate chip pancakes here! Unbeatable!!!

Just left Daily Eats....asked for the BBQ Chicken Sandwich I had on Friday, and they would not serve it. It wasn't after 3PM??? Crazy. It was Noon on Friday when I had it. Time of day really shouldn't matter.....oh well, so we left. Now we are at Panera enjoying Lunch. I have always enjoyed my Meals at Daily Eats. Not today, new management? There are ways to say "no" but I didn't get it today.
(1)Mario S.
What a delicious place to eat! I went there this past weekend when i was up in Tampa for the weekend. I had gotten the Memphis fried chicken sandwich with cheese fries and my fiancé got the Tijuana bowl. They said there's 2 eggs in that bowl..and they were wrong..more like 5-6 eggs! It was so good! I tried that Tampa Mule drink..wow is all i can say! It was so refreshing! The first time i went there i did a Google search for best home fries in Tampa and this little hidden gem popped up. This is definitely a must visit every time i am in Tampa! If for some reason you weren't sure whether to eat here or not.. Don't even hesitate!
(5)Karole S.
We were staying in Tampa for the weekend the and wanted a place for breakfast. Looked on Yelp, read the reviews for this place and decided to give it a shot. So glad we did. First, Jay our server was excellent, friendly and recommendations were spot on. The food was delicious. Husband had the captain crunch french toast and said it was the best he's had. I had the greek omelet and it was huge, fresh and delicious. We will definitely be coming here again next time we visit Tampa. You ever get just a good vibe from someplace? This place, the area has that vibe. Good atmosphere is only topped by the excellent food. Thanks for a great. Dining experience.
(5)Lilly R.
Great staff and service and food. Get there early for brunch or you will wait a while. Call ahead and the hosting staff with help you know how long the wait is. I've never been disappointed here.

Hip breakfast spot. Seated in 10 minutes despite the fact it was packed for Sunday breakfast. Younger college crowd, lots of energy. Three egg omelet , peppers, mushroom, onion with goat cheese. Excellent. Super service. Plenty of cute to look at ...
(5)Desiree D.
Well, my friend talked this place up, and yes the food was pretty good. I came here on a Tuesday Morning around 10:30 AM. Had terrible service. It was not super packed, ive seen diners in New Jersey that were slammed but the waitors have been on their A-Game..but here not so much. I came with two other people & altho we were seated right away, it took awhile to get our waters..menus..and even put in our order. It seemed like all the waitors were basically farting around and not really servicing anyone. I believe the owner or some type of manager who was sitting behind us over heard us talking shit and cracked the whip on one of the waitors. I got "The New Yorker" At first glance, i thought to myself "im gonna be hungry after this". I was wrong...half way through eating this Egg Benedict with a fair amount of Salmon..i entered the Itus mode. It also came with a side..and i chose Home fries which were okay. I knew i should have gotten the grits but they charged extra for cheese. lame! The Benedict itself was great and worth the $10 or whatever. OH annnnddd i had an Apple Mimosa which hit the spot! I wouldnt say that you should rush here..but for breakfast it was pretty good.
(3)Bob C.
The most casual of eateries. New age food mixed with old time favorites. I love this place
(4)Kenneth B.
Samantha was our server and she was excellent. Being a server myself I love recommendations and she suggested the Bison Burger and it was delicious. Their sweet potato fries are...as she swore by, "the best around." Keep up the good work, DE and Samantha!
(5)Melanie H.
LOVE THIS PLACE!!! Again, I ordered the fried chicken ranch bowl. You can never go wrong with chicken, bacon, or ranch! Ask for Whitney! She's ahhhh-mazing!!!
(5)Logan G.
Okay so I usually love daily eats but this time they seriously messed up. I ordered an egg bowl and asked for runny eggs. I ended up getting scrambled eggs so I sent it back. Then they brought it out with scrambled eggs again and tried to tell me they were runny scrambled eggs.... What the hell! Anyways I guess they don't know what runny eggs are and they don't care to get your order right The second wrong order was just left with us after the waiter tried to make "runny scrambled eggs" a thing. There was no offer to actually fix it.
(1)Tom M.
Great place for Sunday Brunch!!! I just went here on Sunday and this place was packed as usual. I suggest eating at the bar inside, its first come first serve. I've never had anything bad off their menu and every day from 2-7 pm you can get $2 mimosas.
(5)Natalie D.
best pancakes ever! i always get a pancake and the tijuana bowl
(5)Hoda B.
A good place to have breakfast, huge variety, fresh and healthy, I will be back again to try their lunch
(5)Brent L.
Food was good. Service was terrible. 10a on a monday, they were busy but not full. Waitress never brought us coffee as we asked, and never brought the grits that came with my meal even after I mentioned it multiple times. Then still charged me full price on food I didn't get. There's plenty of other options around the area to choose from.
(2)Jacob M.
My wife and I and a friend ate lunch here on vacation and it was really impressive. The breakfast options (all day I think?) are creative and very tasty. I had one of their featured "bowls" that had gyro meat, tzatziki, veggies over a bed of spaghetti squash (sub for rice I highly recommend). We had the special pork quesadillas and a group side of sweet potato fries drizzled in honey. Outstanding across the board, original, well prepared, nice staff. Must try.
(5)Kenny G.
One word sums up the breakfast here... Wonderful. The pancakes are really good, and the turkey hash was amazing. Lauren did a really great job! I would recommend this place to anyone and the next time in in Tampa I will be coming here.
(5)Nildalia C.
Ordered the Traditionalist Benedict....one egg was poached. Otherwise the food was pretty good and the tater tots were bangin'....get your own tots!!
(4)Chris L.
I and every guest I bring love this place. The food, portions and selection are excellent. And the service is the best in Tampa
(5)Dustan P.
Seriously !!! Every time I come here and order they have ran out of food I was here at 1045 and I sat here for 20 min waiting for food, then they tell me they are out of grits last time it was oatmeal I was told they stop selling breakfast at 11am. But you serve it all don't so .... I heard the server yelling at kitchen staff about inconsistency, so that's not my fault that food was sold out and I didn't get my grits prior to 11 AM so then I asked can I get 2 pieces of French toast since grits are out she said No , That's a joke not here to please customers and then they wanna charge me 4 dollars for French toast. Only in south Tampa So after this I will not be returning here to another ruined restaurant due to south Tampa staff that just care about $$$ instead of customer service I will be taking my buisness to Hyde park and I assure you this yelp review will be one to be in the books so anyone that eats here is you want overpriced hangover food then come to "basic eats where all the basic people eat !!!!
(2)Angela S.
I had to downgrade this place a little bit. The last few times we have been here the service has been pretty bad. The hostess seemed confused a about how to put 2 tables together to accommodate 4 adults, 2 kids, and a baby. They just generally seemed unwelcoming. The servers are also so slow! When you have a baby with you time is much more of an issue. Even though I still like the food a lot we will probably have to try to find a more efficient breakfast spot with the baby.
(3)Ebonie J.
Visited this place for Sunday brunch ..Great small place with great food. We had Apple mimosa's with turkey sausage and egg sandwich. Very good food and great service...small so expect a wait.i would recommend you go early..I will visit this place again soon.

Daily Eats came very very close to disappointing me, but they saved it with the meal they served. This was a 3.5 star meal, but I'm rounding down for 2 reasons We showed up wanting a late breakfast, and sat down at around 2:50 or something. I should point out that I am not positive about the time - but it was 5-10 minutes before they switched from their breakfast menu, to their lunch/dinner menu with breakfast all day. This is important, because the server came by after a few minutes and took the breakfast menu away and gave us the lunch/dinner with breakfast menu. She told us that they were 2 minutes-by that point- from the time they switched and said we couldn't order from the full breakfast menu anymore. I want to take a full star away for this, but I won't because I'm a nice guy, but this is B.S. First, we had already been sitting for 3-5 minutes. Second, if you draw a line in the sand, then you should abide by that line. If I had 2 minutes, then I had 2 minutes. I don't like being the person who, for example, sits down in a restaurant within 10-15 minutes of closing, but this was the middle of the afternoon. Same kitchen, same cooks, and if I had 2 minutes, I should have been able to order what I wanted. So while I didn't deduct the star, this is the first of two reasons for the rounding down in my rating. Anyway, the issue was, of course, that my girlfriend and I both wanted something on the regular breakfast menu that wasn't on the all day menu. But, putting the spoiled brat part of me aside, we each found something on the all day menu that we liked. I got the Dan - scrambled eggs, fried jalapenos, bacon and swiss (I dropped the tomatoes because, lets face it, tomatoes are "icky," to use the scientific term) on chibatta bread. Really good breakfast sandwich. However, I ordered fries with that (what? who doesn't like french fries for breakfast? Besides, I ran that morning, which means if I want fries for breakfast then I can have fries for breakfast!). The fries weren't that good. I don't understand the battered french fry thing. I've complained about it before, but it doesn't improve the fry. Cut potato, drop in fryer, drown in bucket of salt (seasoned salt, if you're feeling fancy) and you're done. Anything else is unnecessary and doesn't add to the flavor, it detracts. Hence, you get rounded down from 3.5 stars. I realize 3 stars is mediocre, but this was a 3.5 star meal and I am anxious to go back to try something else.
(3)Maria Christina V.
This place really is as good as the reviews say. Went Saturday morning at 11AM. I knew it would be busy but we really didnt wait that long to be seated; maybe like 10 minutes.The place was packed but we were well attended and got our food quickly. We got the: Tijuana Bowl New York Style Eggs Benedict California Omelet Fresh Squeezed Orange Juice Everything was delicious, hot, and we got GENEROUS PORTIONS! Enough to take food home for later. My omelet was hearty with lots of meat (turkey, bacon), melty cheese, and super thick with lots of eggs! SO GOOD! And the orange juice was delicious all though you just get a small cup. All in all, an EXCELLENT place to go. Would definitely go back and take friends there in the future. I look forward to going there for lunch or dinner to try their other food items. Lastly, the price is just right. About $9 a plate but you get TONS of food!
(4)Adrian D.
Awesome breakfast food here! I had their Tijuana omelette, and it was great! The place was so packed that I ordered to go, and it was still pretty good. I have also had their shredder bowls, and they are awesome as well. I suggest to anyone!
(5)Mofongo M.
Average food for exuberant prices, that's how I know I'm in SoHo. Staff is nice and that's nice but I will not be eating here again. If you enjoy basic breakfast with out-of-touch Yuppies here's your new favorite spot. Overhearing their gripes about the boat taking too long to be repaired or what to do with the yacht now that they live on a golf course was funny at first but, wow, just at first. Best part was waiting forever to be seated to eat greasy fried food. I'm going back to Seminole Heights. I'll leave the booth open for some yacht club kids so they have somewhere to eat while they wait to collect their inheritances.
(2)Sonja J.
first time visiting Daily Eats. The menu was fun the food was tasty and our server was a lot of fun!
(4)Alexandra W.
This is my go to place for a South Tampa brunch. The breakfast bowls are good as well as the mojito's. I go for the atmosphere and the outside seating. A must for the South Tampa brunch scene.
(4)Jennifer C.
Oh. My. God. Really, that is all I can say. I am drooling just thinking of writing about the food I ate there today. I said to my mom the other day something like: I haven't found any place in florida yet, that I simply can't live without, with food that I crave. Well, I think I've found it. My mom and I ordered our own meals but shared, so I've tried the New Yorker (representin'!) Benedict (puddle) it was so friggen delicious and the salmon wasn't even fishy at all. It was sweet, salty and savory. I also got to try their turkey burger which was so fresh I swear they just killed the livestock out back before making my meal. Their food is so full of flavor and even making health conscious decisions won't leave you hungry or disappointed. I will DEFINITELY be going back.
(5)Charles S.
Overall a solid meal. Contemporary, edgy diner serves up bowls of great grub. Went for lunch and the place was packed, so we sat at the bar and were immediately helped. Waitress was really on top of her game. She had the whole bar area on lock, and was extremely accommodating to everyone in the restaurant, not just us. The concept here is quite unique. It kind of reminds me of a japanese restaurant that serves donburi or "don" for short, but substitues fish and seafood for classic american fare like bbq chicken, hamburger and interestingly enough, turkey (which was great). There are a few not-so-traditional concoctions such as the Thai bowl which was also great. What I liked most about this place was the balance of all of the ingredients in the bowls to really make it a healthy, complete meal. The turkey option is also nice, as it is a nice alternative to the usual chicken. This is a neat concept worth trying out. I look forward to eating here again when I am on this side of town. 4.5 stars.
(4)Rebecca V.
I wasn't impressed. Service was slow, food barley warm when served. We went absolutely starving for breakfast, Normally when you are that hungry anything taste great. not the case., the eggs were very blah, crispy French toast were good but not filling enough to just have that, you really need edible eggs to go with. Was it "horrible "? ... No Was it "good"?...No Therefore 3 stars.. Would I return? Not by my suggestion but I'm sure since it's a local soho place one of my girls will persuade me and I will only hope it's better the 2nd time.
(3)Valerie R.
My boyfriend and I absolutely loves this place. It has a modern, young, unique atmosphere. The cleanest bathrooms I've ever seen, and VERY friendly staff. I had the turkey hash and grits and the hash was very flavorful and tasted homemade and fresh. The grits were creamy like my mama makes em. My boyfriend had the carnivore and he cleaned his plate the coffee was excellent. Would DEF recommend to anyone looking for a cool little downtown spot for breakfast. We ate outside in the sunshine and loved it. I eat gluten free and their menu specified the items I could choose. LOVE that. The only thing we were missing was my order came out a little different than I specified and they fixed it right away. There wasn't any butter or jelly for my boyfriends toast.
(4)Chris T.
Have lived within walking distance for a year. Take the kids every weekend and have informal breakfast meetings once a month or so. Has been excellent until about the past month. The wait staff has been awful. Things that used to be easy to request in the past are now "not allowed". "Oh, you can't have that bread for breakfast, it's only for lunch bs someone would have to go to the back to get it". Same damn toast I've been ordering for nine months. It seems a majority of the staff is there for a social function vs. taking care of customers. This morning the waitress's butt was literally hanging out of her shorts. I mean, literally and it wasn't anything anyone wanted to see. I used to tell everyone that it's the place to go, but it has been so bad we are going to start the search for a new weekend breakfast spot. Hard to believe a place could go from great to that bad in such a short time. Must have been a change in management. Hope it goes back the other way sometime soon.

Family just moved to Tampa area and we stopped in at Daily Eats because my girlfriend said it was great. This place is fantastic! From start to finish I was really impressed - we started with mimosas (blueberry and mango, $2 daily from 2-7) and chicken quesadillas. For our main course we had the Daily Eats burger (angus - $6, 2-7 daily, with added bacon, cheddar, and a fried egg over easy), and the New Mexico shredder bowl (with pork), while our kids tried the Mac'n'Cheese and. Every item (even the fries) was cooked/seasoned perfectly. We also had a second round of drinks (Florida Cracker Pale Ale and St. Pete's Mule, also very tasty). We finished with 2 shakes: Stay Puff'd (vanilla ice cream, toasted marshmallow, hot fudge) and Are U Peanuts (peanut butter, chocolate ice cream). Everything we had was top notch, far more than I ever expected when I walked into this little diner!
(5)E. F.
Great milkshakes! So many different flavors. Very good breakfast food. Good service. Always busy, but never that long of a wait. Love the atmosphere.
(5)Kelly L.
Add strawberries to the chefs famous French toast ! This place is the best !
(5)Martic R.
I always thought this place would look like an "old fashion dinner" with lots of fried food and was I wrong. Came here on a Sunday morning there was a long line of people waiting outside to be seated so I assumed that meant the food must be good or there is no other place open at this time. We decided to go on the wait list which was approximately 20-25 minutes. The wait to sit seemed shorter than the time we waited for the food but the food was great. I love that I can order just one piece of French toast or pancakes and not be forced to eat a full plate. I ordered one French Toast topped with chocolate chips (fantastic), the smoked salmon (not too salty) and a pink grapefruit mimosa. The waitress was very friendly and definitely knew the menu. great place for breakfast, the burger in the lunch menu was also good and if you like Bloody Mary's you should try theirs. I found this place to be very loud so if you're looking for a quiet, conversation place this may not be your to go spot.
(4)Sarah H.
This place was super packed when we came on a Friday morning. Fortunately we were still sat right away on the outside patio. The noise level for what it was wasn't too bad. The menu was amazing. Everything sounded so delicious so I tried their goat cheese, spinach and avocado omelette. Not impressed :-/ it was undercooked and flavorless. My bf got their bacon and eggs on a bed of cheese and tater tots. He didn't like it at all. The highlight of that meal was their OJ. The tater tots were good and I was thrilled to find they were GF, along with many other items on the menu. I may or may not try them again if I'm ever in the area. Maybe it was an off day from what I read in other posts.
(3)Sarah B.
We stopped by Daily Eats for breakfast while visiting family. I thought they had a pretty creative menu and the quality of everything that we ordered was great. The staff was a bit agressive and bordered on being rude. But they were attentive and prompt so it wasn't as big of a deal. Overall, we had a nice breakfast which was complimented by a bottle of champagne for mimosas.
(4)Blaire O.
Fatigue. Haziness. Zombie-like walk. Yes. Ann and I are hungover. Shameful, but true. Is the end near? Probably not, but if there is any consolation prize for a hangover, it is yummy breakfast and a mimosa. And what better place to get just that on a Saturday afternoon than Daily Eats? We're glad they stayed open despite a down computer system. I'm not sure what would have become of us if we hadn't had this chance to shovel delicious food into our stomachs like it is going out of style. And AWESOME food at that! Revenge is best served cold and over blueberries, so we took to teaching our bodies a lesson for reacting so disapprovingly to our excesses and ordered two delicious blueberry mimosas. No worries, they have your standard, plus a variety of fruit juice mixtures that will make your mouth water: cranberry apple mimosa. This delightful afternoon cocktail was light and refreshing, the perfect match for a breezy, 80-degree afternoon in Tampa.... continued on Dreaming Ingredients Food Blog.

What a great place for breakfast!!!! There were a lot of us and we all enjoyed our food!!! Best pancakes we've had in a LONG time!!! Another fav was the Potato Chip Crusted Turkey Burger and their sweet potato fries are out of this world!!!!! Highly recommend this place!!! We heard they have a great lunch as well!!!
(4)Kay W.
We came here on Saturday for breakfast. Saw many reviews which stressed the importance of arriving by 9:30sh, which we heeded. As soon as were seated, folks were piling in and the wait began. Despite a small dining space, folks seemed to be seated in 30 minutes or less depending on party size. Our server Betsy was very personable, attentive and had good recommendations. We wanted to try a little of everything, so we ordered the Monday Morning(egg whites w/ red onions, turkey sausage, american cheese, on a bed of fresh spinach),The Dougie(chopped whole wheat buttermilk pancakes,egg whites, and turkey sausage, together in a bowl) and the Capt. Crunch crusted French Toast one with strawberries and one with peanut butter chips. I love PB, so this one was my fav. :) Can honestly say we enjoyed every morsel of everything we ordered! Especially the Captain Crunch French Toast.. who would have thought? Only thing I would change would be to saute the spinach in the Monday Morning. Another pleasant surprise was the comped mimosa for first time customers. Can not beat it! We will definitely be back on future Tampa visits because of the reasonable prices, creative menu and cool service.
(4)J S.
The food here is really good. The buffalo chicken sandwich is the best I have ever had. Shredder bowls are delicious if you want a healthier meal. The temperature of mine never seems quite right. It should be layered warm and cool foods. Sometimes it's all just lukewarm. Still good tho. Prices are very reasonable. Service is ok. You get what you need but feel like an imposition. If they improved the servers attitudes and customer service skills this place would be worth the wait you'll have to endure before you're seated.
(4)Nikki K. A.
My favorite is the Mexican omelette....three bean chili topped with guacamole. Delicious. Good choice for kid menu items.
(5)Ashton B.
Very good, fun food. They have an awesome breakfast menu and if you have a sweet tooth I would definitely go for the Captain Crunch French Toast or their Chai Shake. If you are in for lunch their shredder bowls are definitely a good option. Portions are big even for a hungry eater like me so just keep that in mind when ordering the 1/2 or full portions. Serving staff is rad and very knowledgable, just try to stay away on a Sunday lunch, no reservations equals an hour wait. This restaurant also has two sister restaurants on Howard: The Lodge and The Lime; Daily Eats is by far the most original but the other two are worth noting.
(4)Jenna C.
Another reviewer said, "you can go to any restaurant in the Ciccio's Restaurant Group and I guarantee you'll enjoy your meal" and that is seriously the truth. Daily Eats was a fabulous addition to Soho, the patio is a great place to eat, the food is amazing, and the staff is great! Its simple food done right and leaves your soul happier. And its so not even in the same universe as IHOP... please... Oh and their patio is doggy friendly!!
(5)Juli L.
During our last trip to Tampa we asked the hotel staff for a good place, close by, to grab breakfast. When she recommended the local Waffle House, out came my trusty Yelp app with the quickness! Tampa had to offer more than a Waffle House, right?? We stumbled upon Daily Eats, and after reading a few reviews decided to check it out. As we drove by we noticed a decent sized crowd waiting outside. With the fear of Waffle House in us, we decided we would just wait it out. When we put our name in, the hostess said there was plenty of outdoor seating available if we didn't want to wait for a spot inside. Heck yeah! After all, we were still trying to thaw after a very snowy New England winter. Everything on the menu looked great! I decided to try the Tijuana breakfast bowl which consisted of scrambled eggs, vegetable chili, pepper jack cheese and guac served over home fries. Sometimes bowls like this are just a hodgepodge of ingredients fighting for space, and in the end everything just beings to taste like one singular overpowering item. Not this bowl!! There were the perfect amounts of everything, so each bite was a little different and very delicious. All the flavors played very well together, and nothing was overpowering. Next time we're in Tampa, we'll be back for sure!
(4)Danesh J.
It was okay. Wasn't thrilled with the menu. Sort of tasted like IHOP. Not bad, but expected a bit more. The cafe latte was salty. They said that the machine is hit or miss with making them. It was taken off and another drink was brought out, no questions which was decent. I got the french toast and egg bowl. It was okay. Service was good. If you're around and haven't tried it, I guess try it out. It does get busy though.
(3)Nick C.
Not only the best breakfast but food and drinks! Jeff has it dialed in usally get laura as a server so nice and great staff!
(5)Mary B.
Daily Eats is a great place for breakfast. If your schedule allows you to go on the weekday, then I definitely recommend it. It is quite and relaxing. If you can only go on the weekend, then definitely get there before 9am! It is a small restaurant, and gets incredibly busy the later that it gets. Most of the waiting is all outside, so it can get pretty hot in the summer months. They have big booths (3-4) that can accomodate big groups, so it is a fun place to come with friends. The menu is pretty varied, and has a lot of good items on it. I always like the Mexican breakfast bowl. It is really tasty, and always fills me up. The breakfast sandwiches are a good way to go as well if you are on a budget. The service is never crazy good, but at breakfast I am usually a bit more laid back than I am at dinner anyhow. Get a cup of coffee and hang out. There are tv's inside too, so you can catch up on the news from last night, or highlights from last night's game on ESPN.
(4)Pamala H.
Another place I've gotten hooked on. Had several friends that would frequent here for breakfast and finally got the chance to join. I love the item names on the menu and the food is nothing short of delicious. Whether you are health-conscious or a foodie, you won't be disappointed. As with many South Tampa restaurants, parking can get tricky depending on what time you go. Still worth the wait and the money.
(5)Erik W.
Breakfast is spectacular! Great service, great food at a reasonable price. What more can you ask for?

Have had daily eats cater some lunches at the business I work at, but when I went with my husband to eat dinner waited over an hour for our order of mac and cheese and ahhi tuna before we finally left without eating. The waiter even kept saying our order was coming out next but We kept seeing huge tables that came after us get served and they would eat and even leave!!! Would love to try again but hubby was so angry about the service I doubt we'd ever go back.

Food and service are divine but PLEASE OIL THE DOOR to the womens restroom!! I eat here a lot and it's like nails on a chalk board 15 times in an hour. ...very unpleasant sensory experience
(4)Kayleigh M.
This place is a must go! The good is so yummy, great pricing, and excellent staff! I had the salad bowel ( rice and salad) it comes in 2 sizes and the fried pickles. I have nothing bad to say. I went another time with a big party, still perfect service and no hassle splitting the check! Nothing but great times and great food!

Last saturday morning Bill and I were in desperate need for breakfast food!!! Initially, we set out to try Pinky's however, there were literally no parking spaces in sight and there was a line out the door so we decided to look elsewhere. I remembered reading really good reviews about Daily Eats so we ventured over to the soho area! Upon arrival, there looked to be a fairly long wait however, we were at our table in about 15 minutes. They have a really nice covered area so that you can wait outside which sprays mist to keep the heat from being unbearable! My biggest complaint with Daily Eats is that the space is very small and we sat in a booth right next to another booth and the guy next to me was literally talking SO loud that I could barely hear myself THINK let alone carry on a conversation with my man. But I digress! Lets move on to the food, shall we? Bill and I both started with a cantaloupe mimosa! I really enjoyed it but, I don't think it was Bill's thing. No fault to Daily Eats he is just not a champagne fan. As for food, I had a omelet made with half egg whites and my choice of vegetables with home fries and it was amazing!! I absolutely loved the potatoes. Sometimes at restaurants the home fries can be very bland and tasteless but not here! I highly recommend them. Bill got the "dan" sandwich and he had no complaints :) We will definitely be back!
(4)Lenore S.
Food was great! Service was great. The wait was ridiculous!! I don't know if I would go back because of the wait and there is no where to wait everyone was just standing outside or where everyone was eating. Parking was also a nightmare.

I had about 30 minutes before my morning meeting in Tampa. I was STARVING and looking for a great breakfast option that would be filling, healthy, and relatively quick! On to the Daily Eats! I sidled up to the bar, and had a mug of coffee in my hand in no time. I ordered the Raymond - egg whites, spinach, tomatoes, and cheese on toasted multi grain bread. DELICIOUS. I also had a side of fruit to go with! The guy behind the counter was AWESOME. And fun and friendly. I wish I had more time to stay and savor my food, but had to run out pretty quickly. My breakfast was perfect, and I loved the laid back atmosphere of the place!
(5)Jane E.
Breakfast at night! What more can you ask for. Even with that, I ordered other things on the menu. Starting out, tried the Chili Cheese Fries. They were great, but in a pool of cheese not so appetizing. For cheese lovers, they will be in love, but not so much for me. Nonetheless try a small order for around two people. The blackened chicken on the daily special menu was wonderful. It was so spicy, which is what I love. I have never had such a great level of spice other than at a Thai restaurant. I definitely recommend it. The location is great as you can take a seat outside, enjoy the weather and people watch. Will definitely try once again and will have breakfast at night!
(4)Marla T.
Just stumbled across this place. The service was amazing. Very fun atmosphere. Excellent, diverse menu. I'm an eggs Benedict fan and they had many varieties. I had the Broad St. Bully, which was similar to a Philly Steak and Cheese Benedict Style. I had Cheese grits on the side and they were great too. My husband got a breakfast bowl (Steak and Eggs) which he really enjoyed. He ordered a side of Crunchy French Toast (made with Cap'n Crunch) and it was pretty awesome. We'll definitely be going back!
(4)Bibi A.
i went here gasparilla weekend. wait wasn't too bad. service was good. mimosas were awesome! i had an omelet which was good. the french toast is good too.
(4)Chad H.
I let Yelp help me find a place for breakfast while in Tampa and I was not disappointed. Tried the Oreo cookie french toast and the chocolate chip pancakes (yes I eat like a 4 yr old). While I was most looking forward to the french toast I actually liked the chocolate chip pancakes the best. I also tried the fresh squeezed OJ which turned out to be almost $4 - it was good... just not that good For the two of us breakfast ran about $30 which is way to much for breakfast... that being said... our bill could have been much less had we known how to order. The plates were huge and we left about half of our food. If you go as a couple and want the pancakes just split a plate, grab a side of turkey sausage and skip the OJ and go with the coffee which was also delicious - you can easily get out of there for around 15 bucks for two people which isn't too bad. A little loud when we went though thanks to a couple of different screaming children but I won't let that effect my rating since that really isn't anyone's fault I would like to go back to try some of the breakfast bowls. Also should note there was no wait when we got there around 9am on a Saturday but the place started filling up shortly after we got there.
(4)Karen V.
If going for brunch/breakfast, go early. Lines are out the door. Everything on the menu is good - super nice staff and a great neighborhood joint.
(4)Ronnie P.
Loved my Eggs Florentine, fun staff, great food. I love Yelp, found a great local restaurant. Reminded me of Austin, Texas, Maudie's.

So.... Here's the thing about this place. It used to be Jim Strickland's Old meeting house, where Harold would scoop you up a double cone of their home made icecream - something he did when my dad was a kid and was still doing when I was in college.... Sadly, Jim retired and sold the joint to Matthew Hoffman, who decided to 'update' the place and quickly ruined it. Just because your dad is a successful developer, does not mean you have a freaking clue what to do with an institution. Then - while I was out of town at grad school... this new team took over and upped the ante. Well. Yes they did. After months of NOT trying the place (still seething about Old Meeting House) I decided to pop in and give it a shot. The menu is deceptively simple - I went with an angus burger (at my server's suggestion) on a cibiatta roll. Added bleu cheese, red onions and lettuce. Dipped on the fries in favor of a salad. Still expecting fail. I wanted to hate the place. I was wrong. very wrong. The burger was outstanding. Top notch. DELICIOUS. The salad was chopped, with a house vinaigrette that made my taste buds very happy. Well. Here I was all ready to be mean, and the food was so good all I can do is smile and tell you that it took a very long time to eat that gigantic superb burger. Only cons: The open door (yeah, the weather is 'ok' but outside traffic noise is NOT a win, sorry) made the meal a very noisy event, even at 2 pm on a Monday. My server seemed anxious for me to finish (end of shift maybe? that was kind of annoying) and the burger was not pink in the middle like I asked for. Still tasty, but not cooked as directed. With tax and tip, 14 bucks for lunch. Not cheap, but way better than I imagined.

You can call me a breakfast connoisseur. If there is a good breakfast in the city, I will seek it out and destroy my diet. Since discovering all that Soho has to offer, I decided I want to live there. This is one more reason why. I loved this cute little new-aged dinner. The menu was pretty extensive and the food was simply delicious. I couldn't ask for anything more. Oh yeah... and the prices are reasonable. Just to say what I got both times. And by both, I mean that I went there twice in a week because I was so happy the first time. First time I got an omelet loaded with veggies and a side of potatoes. The omelet was fluffy and packed full of veggies. The side of potatoes were "soo good you don't need ketchup." I stole that direct quote from my sister. Second visit, I got the Broad St. Bully Benedict., which is an eggs benedict with hollandaise sauce, shaved sirloin, american cheese, caramelized onions and mushrooms. My sister got the New York Benedict which was an eggs benedict with smoked salmon, chive cream cheese, and hollandaise sauce. Perfecto. The place had a nice crowd around 1-2 pm on a saturday, and I'm sure its even busier earlier in the day on the weekend. Either way, it's worth the wait and the visit. This place has something for everyone, whether your watching your calories, looking for greasy-spoon type food, or just something new. Good for the entire family and has a great outdoor seating area.

Favorite place for lunch or breakfast! Their shredder bowls rock!
(5)Mark S.
I had an informal business breakfast here last week and have to say that the food and service were very good. Since I walk past the place all the time and it's constantly busy I knew there must be something to it. Seeing Nicole's photos of Sunday Brunch made it inevitable I would try the place out anyway. If you've never been, Daily Eats is a diner style place right along S. Howard Avenue with both indoor and outdoor seating. There's a classic counter to sit at - it should remind you of any number of roadside diners.. although a cleaner, friendlier version. I highly recommend getting one of the Breakfast Bowls. You can get omelets anywhere, but my Tijuana Bowl with eggs, salsa and guacamole was unique and about as tasty a breakfast meal as you can find. It's hard to find a place good enough to meet clients or business contacts for breakfast, at least where the average age is under 65. This is definitely the spot.
(4)Steph G.
Great stop for a quick lunch or brunch on the weekends. I love their sweet potato fries drizzled with honey. They're delish!
(4)Collin S.
So when you have to go speak somewhere downtown at 8 am when you're used to rolling out of the rack about 9:30 every morning, the first thing you think is "yikes, that's early and that sucks." But when the second thought is "at least I'll be done in time to get to Daily Eats for breakfast," that should give you some indication of how good this place is. I got the carnivore omelet. I always get the carnivore omelet. Everything else on the menu could be written in sanskrit and it wouldn't make a difference to my dining experience. Ham, sausage, cheese, bacon, and brought to your table quickly always by a waitress that's attentive without being pushy. But what makes it a 5 star experience is the home fries that are marinated in pure joy and love. They are quite amazing, and for some reason much tastier than the ones you get everywhere else on planet earth, and yes I just argued that they they are the world's greatest home fries. Oh, and now they serve Coke Zero. Awesomeness unlocked!

I was in Tampa for the first time in forever this past week, and went to the best place I know for restaurant recomendations...YELP...so this place came up. Off I go placing the address in the GPS..props to this place being on the corner and having ample parking spaces around. I decided to sit outside and enjoy the weather on a cool afternoon. I sat for a bit, until the waitress finally greeted me. I placed my order fairly quickly (a BLT with tater-tots..I LOVE that they even offer tater tots!) The order came out promptly. So everything is going fine right?? Then...BOOM..I don't see the waitress again for like 20 minutes! WTH? All wasn't lost though..she returned finally and apologized for not being attentive..so I wasn't too bent out of shape about it..overall..nice place..reminds me of boutique cafes in NYC..I may return next time I'm in town and try out their breakfast..
(3)Marina S.
Awesome spot! Came here on vacation in Tampa for brunch/lunch with friends. Had the strawberry salad and 3 bean veggie chili. I loved them both. My hubby and friends ordered the pancakes, eggs benedict, and patty melt. Everyone really enjoyed their food and our waitress was awesome! I know where to come for a great breakfast or lunch in Tampa!
(4)Chad U.
For breakfast, Daily Eats seems about a dollar or two overpriced. It's a typical breakfast diner, you'll get a solid meal, decent coffee. Service was good, my coffee cup never got near empty (and I drink a lot of coffee). Unfortunately, my girlfriend's meal was lukewarm. Lukewarm eggs are pretty gross, right? My Carnivore omelet was solid and my grits were pretty yummy. Both of our meals were about $8.50 each. Based on the quality compared to other diners in the area, $7.00 would be more appropriate. Decent enough that I'll go again. Average enough that I won't be rushing there.

Last Sunday Scott turned to me and said, "Entertain me, monkey!" No, no, that's a joke, but we did have a little trouble deciding what we wanted to do. Most of our lives together revolve around food. What to eat, where to eat, how long it will take to get to the places we do eat, etc. So I grabbed my Yelp! bookmarks list and started naming breakfast/brunch restaurants I had thought about trying over the two years I've been collecting. We skimmed over a few in Clearwater and St. Pete, but there was a gay pride festival going on which we feared would end up keeping us waiting for hours and hours. Instead we settled on Daily Eats in Tampa. I knew I had never been and Scott thought he hadn't (turns out when we pulled in he realized he had, but oh well). Reviews looked good and it wasn't a huge distance. The place was packed! We chose to sit outside on the island bar facing the street. We started with grapefruit mimosas (decliiiious!!) and each had one of the special breakfast bowls. I with "The Boot": Scrambled eggs with pepperocini, kalamata olives, green peppers, diced tomatoes, and feta cheese on a bed of fresh spinach (pictured first); and Scott with "The Tijuana": Eggs scrambled with vegetable chili, shredded pepperjack and guacamole, served over homefries (pictured second). I have to say I think I preferred his. I added jalapenos to mine, but they were pickled and just didn't have the kick I was looking for. Also, the feta doesn't melt and there was no "sauce", whereas his had the chili, guacamole and cheese. Either way, they were both delicious and we definitely polished them off! I'd go back again and would like to see what the lunch and dinner menus have to offer. It was a great day.
(4)Shellie E.
Our family has eaten here on a Sunday AM and Monday PM. The food is good and consistent, service is quick and efficient, even though they are really busy. I had an omelet that was very tasty on Sunday and a juicy, bison burger on Monday - the sweet potato fries were AWESOME and a nice treat since I do not eat regular fries!
(4)David H.
I've gone here multiple times and the food is aways good but the service can border from bad to full out awful.
(2)Jessika G.
Seriously, best little place to eat in south tampa. It's just a bike ride from us, and we love it. Sometimes I'll just grab a cup of coffee to go, or we will get milkshakes to go; all of the servers are super sweet, and it never takes a long time to get our food. Speaking of the food, just AMAZING. Literally, everything on the menu is awesome. They are very accommodating to my fiancee who is a vegetarian, and we sometimes eat there 3+ times a week.
(5)LC D.
Pretty delicious Waldorf bowl, they ran out of Salmon which was a bummer so make sure to ask before you order. The staff is very friendly as well as the buss boy's. I custom ordered a sandwich at no extra charge.
(4)Jason M.
My boyfriend and I went here for a midday breakfast on a Friday- it was busy, but not overcrowded. John was our waiter- attentive and great with recommendations (as well as easy on the eyes). He got the bacon and eggs bowl (which was delicious, and perfect hangover food- eggs, bacon, and cheese served over tater tots). I went with the somewhat healthier egg whites, sausage, and onion served over spinach. I wasn't thrilled with the taste (there just wasn't much taste to be had with the ingredient list), but I put hot sauce on it to add flavor. Don't get me wrong- the bowl was healthy, which I was looking for, and very well put together, but I just had hoped that they'd add something for pizzazz. We also ordered a side of the crunch French toast, and it was great. Some of the best French toast I've ever had- so good, in fact, that I'm going to try and re-create it at home some rainy Sunday. Overall, the place was great, with excellent servers, a full and appetizing menu, and a really good atmosphere. I'd definitely return next time I'm in Tampa.
(4)Elizabeth D.
This place gets really busy on a Sunday morning with hungover South Tampa-ites, so the wait for a table can be long and the service can be verrrry slow, but the menu is creative. I had a small bowl of oatmeal with banana, blueberries, and honeyed pecans and the Lox Breakfast Bowl. I really enjoyed the oatmeal but didn't eat too much of the Lox bowl. It was a little too savory for my taste, and I think the eggs were a bit overcooked. I'd try this place again though and order the coconut crusted French toast.
(3)Christine G.
This place is okay. I would go if someone else I was with really wanted to go but would not go on my own.
(3)Ryan A.
Nothing better than their "Monday Morning"...soooo good. Great menu and caters to the health conscious which I like. It's kind of Tampa's version of a diner. You have to wait a few minutes on weekend mornings as it's full of hungover people...but the wait is not too bad.
(4)Eric B.
THE BEST POTATO CHIP ENCRUSTED TURKEY BURGER ON THE FACE OF THE EARTH! The staff is always great. I have never had anything that I didn't care for here. The patio is a nice place to sit, I prefer it over the inside! Now back to that turkey burger! It is lip smakin, finger lickin, slap your momma good!
(5)Danny H.
Holy Bowly! This is eggsactly the kind of place you want to spend a time like Gasparilla (see what I did there?) If you could have a dream and in that dream you imagine you're on death row and you get one last meal. Well obviously you're going to pick steak, potatoes, and eggs. Well if that happened to you, then you're in luck! Because Daily Eats has just that. The bowls are tremendous whether you get the egg bowls in the morning or the mac n cheese bowls at night. Great combinations, great staff, great atmosphere. All around great place If you're in Tampa and you're near Daily Eats, do yourself a favour and stop in and try it.
(5)Linda S.
Today I'm writing a review to say what an amazing place daily eats it is. Last month was my birthday and one of my friends asked where I wanted to go even though I had a bunch of free dinner options I specifically knew I wanted to go to daily eats no matter what the price because their food is just amazing. As soon as we got there we were greeted by a fairly new employee named KB and as soon as he saw my pin that said it was my birthday he was super nice and warm and friendly and made us feel so welcome and even though he didn't know us he treated us like family. My birthday experience got significantly better when we discovered that our server would be my favorite server, Lauren. I met her about 9 months ago on my first visit to the restaurant and she gave us amazing service and treated me like family as well as anybody else I've ever brought to this restaurant. The food is tasty and the food is so tasty and good. My personal favorite is the Gigante breakfast with banana pancakes and fresh fruit my friends regular favorite is the fiesta cheesy mac and we both love the blueberry mimosas. I write this today as we're getting ready to go in and enjoy another wonderful meal and experience at Daily Eats. If you want great food, fabulous service and just a really awesome experience at a great place that serves breakfast anytime go to Daily Eats!
(5)E D.
Food was tasty. Had the potato chip crusted turkey burger and chili. Mom had the giant omelet. Friendly staff and good vibe. Would return when I'm back in Tampa.

I stopped here for lunch yesterday when I was in town for work. I was in the mood for a salad or breakfast food, so I thought it looked liked a good choice because it had good ratings, and was in a cute & also convenient area. It was definitely a modern diner and the menu looked pretty good. However, 3 things bummed me out: 1) They don't serve breakfast items for lunch. In my opinion, if you call yourself a diner, breakfast items should always be available. 2) For all their interesting "bowl" items, none of them were vegetarian. 3) The one salad that caught my attention was almost $11. I think that's a little steep for a lunch salad with no animals in it. That being said, I ended up ordering the veggie burger with tater tots, and it was definitely the best veggie burger AND tater tots I've ever had! If I lived in Tampa, I would probably go back just for that. :)
(3)Jessica A.
I was visiting from out of town, and listened to my fellow Yelpers on this one. I'm glad I did. I'm only giving it three stars because the food wasn't knock-your-socks-off amazing, but I really liked the ambiance. It's just a nice place to sit, enjoy your meal, and people watch or chat with a friend. I went there for both breakfast (regular pancakes and eggs) and lunch (burger with really good sweet potato fries drizzled with honey -- some of the best I've tasted, actually). The outdoor seating is a really narrow space, but there were a couple of tables available both times I was there. It's a great place to chill. Overall, I'd visit Daily Eats again if I'm back in town for a decent, casual dining experience.
(3)Pace C.
Service really brought down the stars here. While every server was extremely nice, they fail to take your order in a timely fashion, check up on you, or hand you the bill. Any place where you have to flag down a server is not "great" service. Food is good. French Toast is amazing and makes you want to go back. Veggie Burger is also highly recommended and homemade. It's a cool little place to eat, casual and kind of reminds me of a city diner you would find in the village. I would still revisit, especially for the French Toast.
(3)Andrew K.
Located in Hyde Park, this was a great recommend by the hotel for breakfast. Had the Monday Morning and the wife had The Lox. These were called breakfast bowls where it was like a scramble in a bowl. Mine was very tasty especially with some Cholula. First time customers like us were also getting a free scoop of ice cream. Outside seating is dog friendly as we saw a few locals eating with their dogs.
(4)Lance T.
good breakfast off the plane, smiling faces bring me back to the south. SOHO ok not that kind South Howard. You have to get into this place and get you some breakfast.
(4)Rob L.
Another nice visit, with Robyn as our hostess. She's awesome. My portable lunch mate enjoyed Mac and cheese and I had the mahi mahi sandwich, both were very nice. Why can't all places do it like these folks. Not perfect, no place is, but so good that it's worth the drive from Carrollwood to hang out. See you soon!
(4)Melanie W.
My husband and I have been searching throughout the Tampa Bay area looking for that perfect burger .. I do believe we have a winner ..It was juicy, full of flavor and it was cooked right the first time. Our server Stephanie was also a delight I've never had a manager welcome us like family. I will definitely be going back. Next time I'll try the Gourmet Mac N Cheese :-)
(5)Bobbie K.
This hot spot is always crowded and for good reason. The food is delicious and the portions are generous. This is one of my favorite spots for breakfast. You might have to wait to get seated but once you eat here you'll realize why it's so popular.
(4)Xi M.
Had to wait a bit on Memorial Day, but it was worth it! The cafe latte was out of this world. Brought some friends from out of town and everyone loved it. Even my two little girls ate the whole wheat pancakes! Everyone ordered a different version of the Eggs Benedict and everyone was happy. Make sure to get the bacon and cheese grits! So worth it!
(5)Jenny M.
My husband and I have been here multiple times and trying different things each time. They were all delicious!! Go here people!
(5)Christopher S.
Went for dinner on the advice of a friend. When I saw the following on top of the daily specials, I knew I had to try it. Holidilla - Flour tortilla filled with stuffing, gravy and turkey. Served quesadilla style with a side of cranberry sour cream. And it was excellent. Funky place, in a lightly funky part of town. Wasn't terribly busy so no wait issues, and the wait staff was friendly and quick, contrary to some of the other reviews. Overall, a positive experience made memorable by a nice surprise of a meal.
(4)Melissa M.
I can only comment on breakfast. After a lame dining experience at the Refinery previous night for all of us, I was hoping to make up for it with breakfast. We were extremely happy with our breakfast choices. The fact that there are multiple takes on Eggs Benedict made me very happy. The omelettes were outstanding as well. I highly recommend opting for the cheesy bacon grits!
(4)Keats H.
This place is one of my favorite places to eat in Tampa. Definitely check out one of the breakfast bowls, they are delicious! The crusted waffles are also tasty! Honestly, there isn't anything bad here. This place is great!
(5)Pierre C.
So I'm new to the area and in dire need of a go to brunch place. Nothing worse than an early weekend morning with no place to go... I tried the Gigante and my brunch date had some sort of shredded salad concoction... The Gigante was what I had to order (no fancy egg white, guacamole, pan steamed breakfast for me) two eggs, two strips of bacon, two pieces of toast, home fries and a short stack of pancakes. The eggs were good and the bacon was tasty, although I think for the $9-10 I payed for it I'd like to have 3-4 strips of bacon. Pancakes were actually spectacular so all in all I was pretty content with the meal. The salad was good, nice combo of flavors although could have used a bit more focus... Will go again, bit not ready to call this my go to place yet.
(4)John B.
After reading the reviews, I decided to stop in for a late breakfast. After finding them by searching for "breakfast" and seeing mentions of breakfast and brunch, I was disappointed to find that they had already stopped serving breakfast when I arrived around 11:00am. Fortunately, their 2-egg sandwich is served all day, so that's what I ordered. The sandwich was excellent, and I could see myself eating here again. I do agree with some of the other reviewers though. This is a small place, and it can get busy and crowded very fast. I'm not sure that I'd wait very long to eat here.
(3)S H.
Yum! The food is fantastic. I dont remember what it is called, but I got the eggs on a bagel with lox on top. Huge portions, beyond friendly service, and they were more than accomodating when we came in with a high chair needing baby. They even gave us a free cookie, just because. Reasonable prices, great atmosphere, creative and tasty food... its no wonder this place is famous.
(5)Cris C.
Had the eggs benedict bowl and the crunchy French toast which is made with captain crunch cereal. Odd but tasted fantastic ...and not too sweet. Will visit here next time I'm in town
(4)Courtney R.
I LOVE Daily Eats! Since breakfast is my favorite thing in the world I have only ordered things off the breakfast menu, but the lunch food looks awesome too (one day I will try the lunch menu, but for now I just can't resist their b-fast food) .....ANYWAYS! I haven't had anything at DE that I didn't love. Some things I have had the pleasure of tasting and would recommend.... - Whole wheat pancakes: delicious. Better than your average pancake. Has a distinct flavor and texture exclusive to DE and the hint of cinnamon really makes them tasty. I get at least 1 EVERY time I eat here. - Captain crunch french toast: I'm a team pancake person so given the choice between Ftoast and Pcakes I will always go with the cakes HOWEVER, this was the best french toast I have ever had in my life. Its like a desert. Reminds me of funnel cake. Just try it. - Oatmeal: the oatmeal is steel cut oats and made with just water so its actually good for you unlike some places that taint the seemingly healthy choice with sugars, butter, and full fat dairy. I loved it. - Omelets: Again these are another fantastic choice. Can't go wrong here. - Scrambled egg whites: they don't skimp out on the portion, which can sometimes happen when ordering egg whites. - Wheat toast: Better than your average slice of bread like at some places. Quality stuff. the only things that could be improved are: - The coffee: nothing special - The b-fast bowls: Every time someone in our party orders one it is disappointing. The portion of food is small and they seem thrown together...but not in a good way, in a hurried routine way. Personally I think they are a bit of a rip off, which leads to... - The prices: sometimes I want to mix and match to try new things and that will cost a fortune here. Add ons can also add up quickly. Great food and atmosphere. The people that work there really care about preserving the stellar reputation. Overall solid place.
(4)Hanbit Y.
Unremarkable food. Long wait for food( more than 20 minutes). Bad service.
(2)Astrid W.
We were referred here from anyone and everyone in the area about good diner breakfasts. Every place I've ever been the first thing that happens when you sit down is that magical coffee that you didn't make at home. That coffee that starts everything- after 15 minutes of sitting at a booth right next to the exit from the kitchen and getting ready to leave, the coffee finally came. We watched 8 people behind the counter ignore us the entire time waiting for that wonderful morning coffee. Breakfast was OK, nothing to roll over and die for and the whole "bowl" feeding that's being done has to stop, or just put the contents between a couple of slices of bread and make a breakfast sandwich. Cereal goes in a bowl, soup goes in a bowl..etc. Service was eh. Not going back, it's a cute little place but the food isn't enough to bring me back.
(1)Larry J.
Gotta love the fresh food and lovely service. I like the different breakfast bowls.
(5)Melissa S.
Had breakfast here yesterday while visiting a friend...got there around 10am and there was already a 1/2 hour wait. But the busboy was nice enough to get us coffee and hot chocolate while we waited. They sat us at a small booth which was fine for our party of 3 and we perused the menu. The waiter was kind of nice in a rushed sort of way and he quickly got our drinks. The menu has a lot of interesting choices, my friend ordered a scrambled egg and french toast bowl over home fries with vanilla maple syrup drizzle - it looked really good. I got the large bowl of steel cut oatmeal with bananas, bluberries, pecans and vanilla honey - YUMMY. Remember folks - not to be a hater but - this is Florida. I didn't have a lot of expectations for the food based on past experience but this place was ok.
(3)Kathleen K.
Definately 5 stars for atmosphere, service, menu choices and taste! The good morning honey and the cali bowl are my faves... i come from citrus county just to eat here (and run bayshore to work it off! )
(5)Angela L.
Cali turkey burger was delicious! Waitress was friendly and helped me make this burger more "gluten" friendly by suggesting to get rid of the bun and replace with spinach leaves. It was so good, thank you!

This was our 2nd & last time at Daily Eats. It was a Saturday around 3:30 pm. With only 5 other tables seated and eating, we waited over 40 minutes for our burgers while marveling at the fact that the place seemed to be staffed by 12 people who were doing very little. There seemed to be two managers, 1 bus boy, 3 kitchen workers and 6 waitresses. Only the eldest waitress seemed to be actually busy. Interestingly, there was a sign on the door accepting employment applications Tables, floors and booth seats were not clean. There was a close encounter with a very dirty mop being carried at table level by the bus boy. My booth seat covering was cracked and kept scratching my legs uncomfortably. Our food was extremely greasy and we noticed a strange thing: there was an aluminum bowl of sweet potato fries on top of the back counter, & every so often the cooks would drop more fries in and the waitstaff would reach in and help themselves, so we thought it was no big deal. Then our orders came out and I saw our waitress reach into said bowl with tongs to fill my plate w/ my order of fries and then she brought it to our table. The fries were notably soft, lukewarm and not hot & crisp out of the frier. We kept hoping that the Restaurant Impossible guy would barge in, retrain the staff, clean the place and help out, because good restaurants are few in this part of the state and this one certainly ain't one of them.

I came in on my lunch break as I did not have much time or money to spare. I ordered the French Toast and the waitress asked "Capt'n Krunch style or plain?" To my surprise they have regular french toast with mixed in Capt'n Krunch cereal. This combination of awesomeness adds a crunchy texture to the already perfectly mixed french toast batter. I would recommend anyone with a sweet tooth try this. Service was quick, friendly, and affordable. Just pop up on the stool at the counter and watch the magic in the kitchen happen!

I liked the concept, and my co-diners really enjoyed, but I just ordered the wrong stuff, cause I couldn't finish anything other than my milkshake (worth a trip just for those, however). My bbq turkey sandwich was way too spicy and my salad was way too sad - limp lettuce drowning in over vinegary dressing. I would go back for a second try, however, because I thought the menu was promising.

This place is exactly what I want a breakfast place to be: staffed by friendly people who pour you coffee really quickly; offering a vast array of not only the sweet and savory breakfast options, but also sweet/savory combinations (my favorite is the Dougie, which features both pancakes and eggs-n-sausage);is reasonably priced; has free wi-fi; and is in my neighborhood. It gets crowded here, but that's the price you pay.
(4)Ricardo M.
Food here is great. But the wait on Sundays is very long.
(5)Talisha M.
Busy place with amazingly simple breakfast thats really really good. They have outdoor seating so you can bring your dog...yay! And they have heat lamps so seating out in the cold w/the dog isn't bad at all! The staff is soooo friendly. I also had the Monday Morning which is egg whites w/turkey sausage & onions on a layer of cheese and fresh spinach. I tried the blueberry pancakes...helllooooooo yummy cakes! Wished I had ordered my own. The blueberries were cooked inside this wheat of heavenly goodness. And the cafe con leche...buenisimo! And they only charge $1 to refill it instead of charging for a whole new drink! Everything is inexpensive. I may be hard to please but a place w/great service, tasty food, & $1 refills get my wooo hoo as good as it gets!

This little diner style joint is one of my favorite places to grab lunch! Their Natural Grilled Chicken sandwich is mouth watering! The chicken is seasoned perfectly and juicy every single time. Paired with melted provolone on a toasted cibatta roll served with a side of goat cheese marinara sauce for dipping, it is the perfect day time indulgence. I recommend the fried zucchini spears, too. The batter is light and slightly sweet.
(4)Claire L.
I love to eat out for breakfast. I highly recommend something from the staff favorites menu - unique blends of foods that end up being great. They have done a good job of fusing your basic diner food with a twist. It is for sure a local fav.
(4)YloDuc E.
There were so many things on the menu I wanted to try! I'll have to try next time we're down in the area. The variations on the Eggs benedict were tempting, but the Capt'n Crunch French Toast really caught my fancy. Although I couldn't taste that much of the cereal, the foundation [the bread- I'm guesing a brioche??] was awesome.
(4)Alli J.
Deeeellliiigghhhtttffullllll! Not a Tampa native, so I have to admit that I couldn't be more pleased with this cute little diner. I'll break it down and make it real simple like so you can decide for yourself whether or not to go. BUT if you want to take the easy road stop reading this review and hustle your sweet lil self down there. + Healthy food! Woo, they have these shredder bowls with brown rice and all that California health freak goodness. + DELICIOUS FOOD! mMMmMm ( even though everyone I was wish was convined I had a stink face, the food was really good-- I was just tired and sans make-up, thank you very much) + It smells like breakfast ( yuuummmmm) + There is a line to get in-- always a good sign bc it means that people want to eat there and are willing to wait. + Cute booths + The owner schmoozes around, another good sign. + Outdoor seating + They serve chocolate milk..MmMmmm I had the two egg and cheese sandwhich-- they had just finished serving breakfast by the time I could get my over-served self over. Boo. So good... add a side of fruit and VOILA, one happy camper. - It's in Tampa... so there's a 2% chance that I'll ever return - Everyone goes there so there's a tad of a wait - They serve ice cream and many other goodies so it's hard to walk away without over indulging. Oh another + The coffee mugs have their name on it...cute.

I have eaten here a few times in the past couple months at the recommendation of a colleague. I am not exaggerating when I tell you that everything I have ordered off the menu has been absolutely outstanding. The crunchy french toast keeps me coming back. Last time I was there, I had the cali shredder bowl. The serving size was huge. I wasn't even in the mood for breakfast, but I had to order a side of french toast. I have sat outside the past couple times I have been there and have been served by Lori both times. She is extremely friendly, and has a great attitude. I will more than likely request to be seated in her section from now on, although I have never had bad service from anyone in this establishment. The food and the staff have made me a long time patron of this place. Oh love that they serve beer too! And the lady loves the mimosas (is there even any OJ in those things?!)
(5)Mike C.
Stopped in here looking for a great breakfast and ended up going twice while in town. Had The Gigante, eggs cooked perfectly, awesome whole wheat pancakes and very filling. Staff was very friendly. Definitely will check out their other restaurants when I'm back.
(5)Parag S.
Great food!!!! We went for breakfast and I was choosing between the Gigante and the Healthy DL. Believe it or not, I chose the healthy and was EXTREMELY satisfied. The oatmeal was perfect, not too sweet, just perfect. My wife had the whole wheat blueberry pancakes and they were great as well. Highly recommend me for breakfast. Will have to try lunch and dinner.
(5)Andrew Z.
Good reviews sent us to Daily Eats for a Sunday morning breakfast. I'm always willing to give a place a break as everyone has an off day. I hope this was theirs. Service was good and the outside seating under the awning was nice (especially with the mister fans keeping us cool). Unfortunately, the food took forever: about 40 minutes for an eggs benedict and a short stack. When the benedict came the hollandaise had been poured on top despite our request to have it on side. Pancakes They had a nice consistency. My wife had plain and enjoyed hers; I had mine with banana and peanut butter chips. It was good, but at .50 a topping i would have liked more than 3 small slices of banana and a tiny droplet of peanut butter. Benedict with Shaved NY Strip (don't recall name) One might expect a home cook to use some sort of pod for poaching eggs, but not at a restaurant. If you do want to use a container to poach, don't over grease it. The nice thing about poached eggs is the cleanness of the egg flavor. These were so oily that I couldn't even taste the egg. The were also so overcooked that you could cut through the yolk. Not ok, but I was not in the mood to send it back. The steak on top was ok, but completely underseasoned and also greasy beyond belief. Hollandaise was good, warm and seemingly very fresh. Grits We ordered them with bacon and cheese. Easily the best thing on the table. Nicely done. Breakfast left both my wife and I feeling gross; chill out with the oil guys.
(2)James H.
my review stays the same, just want to point out that the awesome veggie burger is not available on the weekend brunch menu. i went there the other weekend craving it bad and found out they didn't have it. bummer cause it's good. i ended up with a bowl of chili and a plate of fries. definitely a worthy substitute, but don't want anyone to be led astray. also, we went on a beautiful, spring tampa morning and sat outside. copious outdoor seating is another plus for this place.
(3)Jeff P.
We were in Tampa for my Aunt and Uncle's 60th wedding anniversary and needed a good breakfast place on Sunday. We found this on Yelp and were very impressed. Absolutely delicious food, friendly service and traditional diner atmosphere. We went early and had no wait.
(5)Heidi G.
Take this eatery for exactly what it is: small, and therefore expect a wait during busy hours, but those who love a creative but simple menu will really appreciate Daily Eats for just that: daily eats. Feel at home, have a scoop of French Toast ice cream after a somewhat educated version of the Gyro, and then come back to this tiny place for something completely different, like Baja Mac and Cheese with sweet potato fries and a creamy chai. Just cool. :)
(4)Gabryanna J.
The Mexican omelet was awesome! A friend and I shared it with the potatoes and left happy. Seating was right away and loved that we could sit outside. Mimosas were a bit pricey for brunch but the blueberry was different and good.
(4)Luke H.
The Only Place to Have the Brunch of Shame. Where good looking patrons and staff meet over healthy dishes. Go just before 11:30am so you can order full breakfast, and then put in a sweet potato fries order at 11:30am. Sit at the bar or wait in line. Newspaper stand available.
(5)Ray m.
I only had the sundaes here and I'll be coming back for more! the dutch chocolate with vanilla bean was to die for. also the price is right, a little over $3 for 2 large scoops toppings. seating is a little tight but there are fans outside that'll help keep you cool. waitstaff was attentive and polite.
(5)Christine B.
This place was okay, nothing amazing though. I had the coconut crusted french toast based on a recommendation here on Yelp. It was good, but again, nothing particularly spectacular. I gave this place three stars since nothing really wowed me, but I almost gave it two based purely on the appalling poached eggs on their eggs benedict. I'm an eggs benedict fan, I usually order it, but I'm glad I went with the french toast this time. The menu has 5 or 6 different types of eggs benedict so you'd think they'd be pretty good--not so. Two others in my party ordered different versions and both received the worst poached eggs I've ever seen in a restaurant. They looked like they had been cooked in molds (red flag number one) and when cut into they were completely overcooked! No runny yolk at all--on either plate of eggs benedict. One of the eggs benedicts that we ordered was a chicken and mushroom version that was quite good if you completely ignored the overcooked eggs. The other version was the florentine, which really needed the runny egg yolk to complete the flavor. But seriously, it's not that hard to poach an egg properly once you've got the hang of it--any restaurant chef should be capable of it and if your chefs can't poach eggs well, then you probably shouldn't even offer eggs benedict on your menu. Just a thought.
(3)David F.
Pretty decent diner food from the Ciccio and Tony's peeps. Good fish sandwiches, good BLT's, good soup, really tasty fries and average service. Unfortunately the place is super loud, which would be alright if it weren't so cramped. There are better greasy spoon's out there.
(3)Alldaron K.
Good food, but way too much. I've never finished one of their breakfasts.
(4)Matt S.
Very average in my opinion. Food is decent, but the service can be very slow. Location is great, but that creates long lines of hungover people on weekend mornings. Many other choices for breakfast in the area without the wait. I've never eaten there any other time of day besides for breakfast so I wouldn't know how their other food stacks up.
(3)Marcos O.
Nice location, but their food really is not up to par. They need to work on their ingredients or something. Your better off going next door to The Lime
(2)Gertie O.
I've been to Daily Eats several times but haven't in back awhile... I like the open, diner like feeling of the place and the 'bowls' are good but the staff can be aloof and the food seems slapped together. A little tweaking and it would be a better experience-- better service, deep clean the floors under the booths and put a little more care into making the food.
(2)Brad K.
My favorite breakfast place in Tampa. Casual diner atmosphere with really good food. Their French Toast is thick cut and outstanding. Eggs Benedict is available in multiple variations and is simply awesome. So many interesting menu items to choose from, it never gets old.
(5)Ryan B.
The food is still as good as usual, but the service is spotty at best these days. Had to track down wait staff to give our order. Got food and one of us had missing parts to his breakfast. I love coming here, but no that it's best to come during the week for breakfast.
(3)Anish Z.
Was looking for a good brunch spot and it this fits the bill. Try the coconut crusted French toast. We had the Tijuana bowl overflowing with eggs home fries and guauc. Wait time was misquoted but I think one of the servers were trying to help and underestimated the time. Cute hostess made it easier to bear. I hadn't drank the night before but it was obvious there were lots of other trying to fix a hangover with a mimosa and it seemed to have worked
(4)Jason R.
It's an upscale breakfast joint with decent food. With that said, it's not worth an hour's wait.
(3)jennifer b.
Inventive menu and fresh tasting ingredients. That's the best I can say. Anytime you'd be likely to want to eat there, it is likely to be packed. usually that's a good sign but in this tiny diner it is not. They are really not set up or capable of handling the large crowds that come in there. It's far too crowded and noisy, and wait staff is too busy to be as attentive as is needed. My husband ordered the Tijuana bowl and as it is full of spiciness his drinking glass should have been a priority, but it stayed empty a long time, more than once. I couldn't fault the waitress too much, she was obviously very busy, but they obviously need more waitstaff at that restaurant. The food didn't take too long and it tasted pretty good. However I was SHOCKED at some of the prices I saw when our check came. $4.50 for two soda's (especially bothersome because our glass was empty and stayed that way so often.) $1.00 dollar extra for a TINY cup of hollandaise (usually when you order something like that the waitress would tell you there is a dollar upcharge but I didn't find out until our check came). There were a few more extra charges on our bill that didn't please me at all. Not to mention 8.50 for an omelette was pushing it a little in the first place. The taste of the food gets an A+ but the atmosphere, service, and prices get a D at best.
(2)Josh M.
Just an overall awesome experiance. The interior takes you back a few decades. The staff is beyond friendly. Food is awesome. Everything is healthy which is rare to find. Try any of their Sheredder Bowls for lunch. Becareful during lunch time because it gets pretty bonkers in there. People love it that much. It is easy to pass by on the outside but stop by, you won't be dissapointed.
(5)Karri H.
Love this place! I dream of the Tater hater when I have had one too many! I unfortunately moved a little farther away so its only a treat when I get to eat here but I tell everyone about it! I crush a little on one of the cooks too so that helps LOL
(5)Micah M.
Very good food. Their mac and cheese is pretty damn tasty. They also have a great grilled cheese.
(4)Mandie E.
The food is awesome. My husband and I love the breakfast bowls. Took off two stars for the wait and the slow service.
(3)Justin R.
I had the coconut covered french toast, with the coconut honey cream cheese. It was pretty awesome. They seemed busy but the service was prompt, and I didn't see any ridiculous line waiting like I would a t breakfast spots in Chicago... Food was plated well, and the portions were right on. The only thing I didn't like was the turkey sausage was tiny, but its only a minor err. Everything was not too terribly expensive either.My girlfriend ordered the Tijuana Breakfast Bowl, and said it was pretty awesome too. Outside seating was comfortable. Definitely recommended for breakfast.
(4)Bizz M.
Good spot. We were seated quickly and I had an OJ in my hand in a minute. I had the coconut french toast. Excellent. The fried pickles were also pretty perfect. Its in nice area of Tampa so it was decent people watching as well. We were in and out so there isn't to much i can say but i would visit it again.
(4)Ashley A.
Good breakfast. Unfortunately their espresso machine was broken when we stopped here, but they waitress offered to make me an iced coffee which wasn't bad. The coconut french toast was yummy. I got an omelet that was great, it was oozing with cheese and and totally what I needed after a long night.
(4)Henry P.
A favorite place for a quick lunch or dinner. The shredder bowls are amazing, although I found the buffalo chicken a bit too spicy. The Working Cow ice cream is a guilty pleasure after a great meal.
(4)Anna C.
Let me start by saying I love diners! I went here on a Saturday afternoon hoping to get a nice breakfast. They have 2 different menus. One said breakfast available after 4 p.m., but the waiter said I couldn't get breakfast after 3 p.m. The place is small, and there were no tables available so we sat at the bar. I went to wash my hands the was the no soap! (The hostess just left the restroom right before I went in). I ordered the california rice bowl and my bf order a burger. Since we sat at the bar, I could see everything going on in the kitchen. My food was ready at least 5-8 minutes before his and I saw it just sitting there in the window. From the bar, I could also see that the french fries sit in a bowl and aren't fresh. The waiters just grab a handful and through it on your plate. They did use tongs. My food was bland and was room temp, which made it worse. There were flies buzzing around which was annoying. I ended up not eating my meal and another waiter heard us talking and took it. She was very nice and took it off the bill without me asking (even offered ice cream), but our original waiter sat a few seats down counting his money. Another set of waiters were on the other side of us talking about some lady's miscarriage and her "uterus." Seriously? I'm eating (or in my case not eating here!) We were never offered refills. My boyfriend said he liked his meal, but his burger was pink in the middle. He spent $14 on a burger and fries that I thought would have been just as good as going to Steak N Shake. NOT RETURNING!!!
(1)Jill G.
Love their creative menu as well as the fact that we can usually get some vegan and tasty and relatively nutritious. Been here many times over the years, and it continues to be a family favorite. Downside? I agree service can be spotty.
(4)Michael B.
And the S. Howard restaurant marathon continues. I've decided that S. Howard must be Tampa's restaurant mecca. My coworkers ran into my office the other day and said "Michael, we have a new place for you to Yelp!" As I do enjoy a meal that involves a yelp to follow, I was more than happy to try it with them the next day. Daily Eats is a cute little diner, with a healthier flare and a cleaner interior. The girls made sure to point out that the bar seats have a purse hook at each seat. The menu is an interesting mix of burgers and sandwiches with some unconventional toppings. You could literally come here for lunch or dinner for a week and still try something new. They have a ridiculous amount of toppings to choose from, too (goat cheese being one of my favorites). Among the beaucoup of unique sandwiches, there is an interesting mix of salads called "Salad Shredder Bowls". They have a crazy mix of lettuce, rice, and proteins. My friend had one and said it was delicious. Another friend ordered the fried zucchini which, as a zucchini hater...even I enjoyed them. One area where they might need a touch more improvement is in the speed of service. Speed is something that is a little more situational...our group is always in a hurry, so we might have a skewed view as to what is slow. Otherwise, our waitress was as sweet as can be. Now, we went here for dinner and will probably go back for lunch. Their breakfast, however, looks crazy good and I would say "Check it out, yo" for brunch. Tampa...my dear...your restaurants are impressing me, and I haven't a clue how to react! Brava...Brava.
(4)David S.
Shredders are fantastic. Spinach salad w freshly waiters mushrooms too!
(4)Audrey B.
Okay, so I'm in Tampa at the moment and need to comment on this AWSOME eatery! I went here for Sunday Brunch and it ROCKED my world! I started with a nice cup of joe. Nothing to brag about, but not bad, either. I was kind of a coffee snob, pre-tea drinking, so it's possible my taste buds were off about the coffee... Anyway, I ordered an egg omelette bowl. It had egg whites, turkey sausage, provolone cheese and was served on a warm bed of spinach in a big ol' bowl! It really was Delish, so I need to share! :) I also split a coconut crusted french toast with coconut honey cream cheese. Yeah, you read that right...yummy coconuts!!! It was pretty crazy...I don't normally eat frech toast, but HELLOOOO, this was AMAZING!!! People don't seem to Yelp much in Tampa, but I am really glad that someone already reviewed this place. Hooray for their breakfast!!!
(4)Grant M.
Good greasy spoon food, decent prices, horrible service. I've eaten here maybe a dozen time in the last six months and each time I say "Never Again" because the service is so lousy. I know it's a small place, but there's no reason to wait 10 minutes every time just to be seated. They're not THAT busy. If the service was just a touch better I'd probably never even notice it was bad simply because the food is good. Also, the place keeps goofy hours.
(2)Dave's P.
What can I say everything that I've tried is GREAT...I'm eating and it's so good I can't take the tune to write more about how great it is
(4)Jennifer O.
We visited Tampa and the hotel recommended this place to us on our first night. Thursday was less busy then the rest of the days, but the service was still amazing and the food was just as good. We liked it so much that we stopped by again on Friday. On this day, the hostess Kate was pretty rude to us, but after speaking to management, they expressed that the hostess was new and needed to work on her customer service skills. Weekend mornings are super busy, so plan to come extra early or be prepared to wait over an hour.
(5)Jessica G.
Best bowls in town! Service is super fast. My favorite bowls are the Greek bowl and the Buffalo. Yum!
(5)Addison P.
Regular here with my husband most Saturday mornings. It's amazing food in a great area. We're usually ones to go for the Mexican omelette (the vegetarian chili is amazing!) and it's become a joke with our regular servers that we're not allowed to order Mexicans. The last time I was in, I ran into my boss and sent her and her husband a plate of Cap'n Crunch French Toast A La Mode. She raved about it. Definitely will continue to make the Saturday breakfast pilgrimage.
(5)Austyn O.
Came in for some brunch. Awesome service and awesome food as always. I was helped by a younger guy with a reddish beard. Didn't get his name. I think he was training but he absolutely killed it. Fantastic service. Five stars.
(5)Yasmin L.
good breakfast will return at the crack of dawn!
(3)Lauren M.
I just had a really yummy breakfast bowl with lox and scallion cream cheese! Followed by the captain crunch French toast, which does not need any syrup at all, it was crunchy and sweet on the outside and the bread was gooey on the inside. Lauren, my server, was awesome and recommended the grapefruit mimosa, which had the perfect amount of sweetness!
(4)Paul F.
Extensive menu appealing to all in our party. The food was excellent, and the service was one of a kind, Kodie was the best she made us feel a part of the family! We have had difficulty finding a restaurant in the Howard, Hyde Park area that are "truly" family friendly ... This is the place - 5 Stars!!!
(5)Greg h.
the only thing I enjoyed was the old diner type environment on the inside, the food quality was not that good and the portion size for the price you pay was ridiculous.
(2)RD E.
best breakfast in T-town
(5)Zubin K.
Came here for the first time. We were seated quickly and I ordered the half sized Thai Peanut Shredder Bowl. While the food tasted pretty good, it wasn't warm and I did not taste too much of the peanut sauce. Also, there wasn't as much rice as you would typically expect from a bowl. My friend ordered the Greek bowl and hers tasted better. We did order the Daily Fries which were excellent in taste, crispness and quality. Overall, a pretty good experience but could be even better.
(4)Ed S.
While Tampa has a strong Deli scene, the diner offerings are pretty lackluster. Daily Eats is a standout exception. This is a neighborhood favorite, always crowded, serving diner faves, and some more modern stuff too. Burgers are great but too salty. Friendly service.
(4)Kelly S.
One word, AMAZING! My family and I will definitely be back! The service was great, and the food was delicious! Not at all what we expected in a good way. We ordered the Capt Crunch French toast as an appetizer and it was a huge hit! No butter or syrup needed.
(5)CJ V.
The place has a nice kitsch appeal. Can get a little loud, and if children aren't your scene beware cause there will probably be at least one family with a screaming child. So if you're a family you'll enjoy the charm. A little inconsistent with the food. Service is where its weakest. Went in for a late lunch and it wasn't crowded. Order drinks that took over 15 minutes to get and the meal came out with the appetizer. Milk shake was very good. Get servers that are aware of what's going on and a little more consistency with the food and you'll get more stars. Also the waitress dress as like young girls working a car wash fund raiser for their school.
(1)Kristen O.
Let me start out by saying I love this place and the food is amazing, the servers are fantastic... Typically I would've given this restaurant 5 stars hands down. After witnessing what I witnessed today while eating breakfast there by myself, I simple can not do that. I dined at the bar today with Lauren (waitress). She had a great personality and was extremely attentive. Things became a little chaotic when putting out food for I believe I heard them say table 11. Anyway the owner Raymond began expediting. I ordered a breakfast bowl as I do regularly with a grilled English muffin. I got the bowl first... It was delivered by another server who was sweet. Dark hair, braid and a black headband. She told me the English muffin would be right out... Minutes later Raymond stood in the window asking for someone to drop this, even though I was literally within maybe 4 steps of him. I received my English muffin ungrilled... I asked my sever if they knew what a grilled English muffin was and she said Raymond said it was too busy to grill it... Umm ok, that weird and extremely unprofessional given that I can see on the computer screen that there are only 6 tickets up... What bothered me was the fact that maybe 10-15 minutes prior to receiving my food my waitress Lauren was completely berated by this man Raymond in front of guest about putting her belonging on the side of the bar (which mind you was her station) he told her in front of guests to watch her attitude and do it. I was more than proud that she stuck up for herself... Because I probably would've punch him in his face and walked out. It was appalling. The owners were in a business meeting behind me... Word to the wise if you want to continue running successful business in Tampa get rid of Raymond, he has NO business working in restaurant. He's disrespectful, unprofessional, and so demoralizing of the upbeat character of that building it's insane. If you can't approach your boss in fear of being verbally assaulted, and belittled would you want someone like that working for you, let alone running your establishment!?! He needs to be 86ed!
(1)Cassie P.
I've now been here twice for breakfast...and I've left full and satisfied both times! Chose this place last week because I was celebrating something with a friend- and it's one of the only places you can get breakfast and alcohol :) He enjoyed his fair share (and then some) of mimosas. The place is kind of tiny- which is a little challenging while navigating a stroller/car seat combo. But, they were accommodating and let me choose whichever table would be easiest for me and the cumbersome car seat to get into. Both times I've eaten here, I've had the Bushkie Bowl which has egg whites, spinach, broccoli, bell peppers, red onion, and jack cheese. Don't let the egg whites fool you into thinking it's healthy and not delicious. Haha. But it makes me feel better about eating it. I enjoyed the grits (add cheese) but my friend didn't care for them. I think I'll opt for the potatoes as a side next time. Good diner atmosphere. But, on a weekend, expect to wait a while. :)
(4)Michelle K.
Best brunch place in Tampa. All the plates are around $7-12 and relatively HEALTHY. Yeah HEALTHY brunch place that's not overpriced?! I am sold. Wait is long on weekends but I think it's worth it. Service was terrific and food was awesome. Food is on little saltier side though. Parking is all street.
(5)Mariana W.
Was just served the most flavorless omelet I have ever tried. Spinach and goat cheese. Eggs were bland, avocado was hard ( not quite ready) and there was honestly a teaspoon of goat cheese inside omelet. Toast was good. The steak and egg bowl was a little better though steak appeared to be grisly minute steak as opposed to shaved beef. Provolone cheese helped. Made both the server and the hostess aware i did not care for omelet -I did eat the fruit and toast, however, so I guess that's why I was charged the full price.
(2)Anum A.
Every item was delicious! We had the Mexican, pancakes and home fries. All were amazing!
(5)Jaime F.
Ate here while on vactaion, THREE times! The best diner in SOHO! Our server Laura B made great suggestions, and even offered us dessert after breakfast! I only had breakfast here; they have great healthy options as well as the famous Capt. Crunch French Toast, (which is AMAZING). I highly suggest you eat here, several times!
(5)Mark H.
Pretty good eats - not oversized portion. It's a bit annoying that they will not seat parties of less than three in their 4-man booths. Instead, they squeeze you in shoulder to shoulder at 1.5 man tables or let you just walk out. Those 4-man booths sat empty the entire time we were there, but we saw as many as 3 couples walk out because they didn't want to wait for more compact seating. Food gets an B+, service gets a B+, use of available seating gets a D. If there are only two of you and you want a larger booth instead of waiting, remember to bring your invisible friend.

If I could give less stars I would. Over an hour wait to be seated (after they told us 20-30 min). Over 45 minutes to get simple orders of 4 breakfast foods. I understand places get busy at this time, but to wait 45 minutes for 2 breakfast bowls, 1 plate of eggs and hashbrowns and 1 order of French toast should NEVER take that long. Also too, it's frustrating when you see a group of three people and a group of 2 people who were seated near us but seated well after us be halfway through their meals before we even get our food. I don't know if it was the kitchen's fault or if the waitress forgot to actually put the order in but it's unacceptable. To top it off my breakfast bowl was completely cold and I sent mine back. She did offer to make it again but at this point I was unwilling to wait another extended period of time. Also, would have been nice to have a manager come and speak to our party to apologize when they obviously knew we were not happy by our frequent visits inside to check on our meals and get our own refills. I don't think I will be back. There are way too many places to eat in South Tampa and spend my money.

Daily Eats is definitely one of my go to places when I want a good breakfast. Since I am a health nut, I like that they have a lot of healthy options, which is why I like to go there. Whenever I go I get an egg white omelet with a side of oatmeal. I have never tried their granola/loaded oatmeal but it looks really good. When I am not watching my waistline so much I will indulge and order the oh so good captain crunch french toast. They have these breakfast bowls that my friends really like, but I am one of those people that try not mix their foods, and I eat one food item on my plate at a time ( I can be weird like that I guess) so the bowls never seem appetizing to me but they look interesting. I haven't tried their lunch, but I did try some of their sweet potato fries when my friend ordered a burger and they were REALLY good ( I love sweet potatoes). Def go by there for breakfast. Please note it's dog friendly too, which can be a good or bad thing if you want to eat outside.

Packed to the gills on Sunday morning as others mentioned. A sign of something good? Eh. Nothing special about the food. Standard breakfast fare along with a few of their own creations and their way of serving the meals. Food was good. However, $40 for three little small meals and two coffees is a bit much. Bottom line OVERPRICED and too cramped to enjoy a meal.

Stopped by on Sunday morning for breakfast. There was a line, but we were sat in less than 10 minutes. Coffee was decent, but at 830 just about any caffeine delivery system will do. The buttermilk/wheat pancakes were more than sufficient, they were amazing. Try the coconut. Pro tip get the short stack. The other meal was two eggs with grits and bacon. Grits and bacon up, eggs were over cooked, down. Would recommend to anyone for breakfast and I'm looking forward to stopping by for lunch and dinner.

I heard great things about this place by several different people so I thought I would try it out. I went on a Saturday morning, it was busy but the service was still great. Our waiter was Adam and he was great very funny and personable. I got their breakfast French toast bowl and it was to die for. This place speaks for it's self. I would definitely give this place a try if you want a good place to eat in south Tampa and don't want to go to a chain restaurant. The prices are reasonable as well.
(4)Lisa B.
Food amazing, fresh, creative. Service amazing. Parking convenient too. Do yourself a favor and skip the chains-come here for breakfast and leave happy and full! So glad we found it!
(5)M S.
This is absolutely my favorite place to eat. My favorites are the pancakes with pecans, caramel, and bananas and the turkey hash is amazing! I also enjoy their bowls, particularly the Thai chicken shredder bowl and the buffalo chicken bowl. They are generally a pretty solid place to eat. I personally think the captain crunch French toast is a little too sweet for my taste, but most people tend to enjoy it.
(5)Ron D.
Have tried it....and tried it....and tried it. The place is always packed with folks? Everyone seems happy... The shredded up lettuce in their various "bowl" offerings is reminiscent of the lettuce on a Big Mac...Yuk!

This place is a solid place for American food. I wanted a burger, and I had been recommended Daily Eats by a friend in the past, so we came here for dinner. It was exactly as I expected, maybe a little better. Staff is friendly. The tables are on the small side if you don't get a booth, and the seats aren't very comfortable. The atmosphere is very diner-ish. We started with the Tater Hater -- similar to nachos with with tater tots instead of tortilla chips. Then I had the black and blue burger with the sweet potato fries, and my husband had a cheeseburger with a Caesar salad on the side. He also had a strawberry milkshake and a sundae for dessert (yes, he's a glutton). Everything was very good. The taters stayed crispy despite all the cheese sauce. I ordinarily don't like sweet potato fries that are served with maple syrup (they usually end up cloyingly sweet), but I found theirs to be the right amount of sweet. This place would be great if I had a hangover that needed sopping up. It's certainly a place where it's easy to get grease bombed. I'll have to try something healthier next time.
(4)Mitchell L.
This was by far the best breakfast we had on our visit to the area. A busy place with a wide variety of patrons. It's so popular that the wait was long and originally I got agitated but the food made up for it. We will definitely come back next time we're in town.
(4)Jason H.
It's solid. For the life of me I can never remember the name of what I get when I come here, but the gf always gets the famous french toast. You get a lot for the price here, but overall it's just not enough for me to push it to five stars. I like a lot of places in South Tampa (a lot of them, including DE, under the Ciccio's group) and this is definitely in the rotation...especially since, like Brett, gf loves it.

You know how hunger is the best seasoning? I was starving when we first got here. We drove around looking for parking for Gasparilla and after half an hour ended up back where we started and decided to pay an arm and a leg for parking. Therefore, our brunch got pushed back half an hour and having not eaten anything all day, those 30 minutes meant a lot. I got the lox breakfast bowl and my fiance got the captain crunch pancakes. When I first started eating the breakfast bowl I thought wow this is amazing! Halfway through I regained my senses and began to really asses what I was eating. It was a good portion and it is a great combination of flavors. However, overall it was too salty. Whether it was too much smoked salmon (is that even possible?) or too many capers, there just was not enough scrambled eggs and home fries to balance it out. I'm actually surprised that this bowl had too much filling (tomatoes, capers, etc.) than scrambled eggs. Overall it was still great, but could have been slightly better. I still love the idea of breakfast bowls and will be back to try a different one. Also, this kept me satisfied and filled until dinner. My fiance liked, but didn't love his captain crunch pancakes. I blame the fact that he is against almost all things healthy and did not realize the pancakes were whole wheat. I tried it and it was very sweet. He ended up leaving a pancake and a half on his plate. However, I think most people would enjoy these pancakes as long as they do not have a vendetta against whole wheat. The atmosphere is great. It has a very diner like feeling and a good number of seats outside. I can see myself going back for brunch. I love the menu and I had a hard time deciding what to get.
(4)Nick Z.
Daily eats is great for both dinner and breakfast. Today I got the carnivore omelette and turkey hash and the GF got a scrambled egg and bacon bowl. We both loved it. I was recently diagnosed with Celiac Disease so it was great that their main menu has GF logos next to each Gluten free item. Our server was good and was great breakfast.
(5)Dolores C.
Ok food and reasonably priced. I think it is probably better for breakfast food.
(2)Rachel H.
We took our parents here for a quick lunch and it was a sweet little lunch spot. They said the coffee was actually the best they'd had in a while and thought it might have been the location of the Old Meeting House ice cream shoppe? Nothing looked dated and maybe if it did it was overlooked bc the whole feel of the place fit in with the fast paced feel of a quick serve diner. We all got the half size bowls which everyone loved the portion size except for me. I love a bowl of food and this seemed really small. Spend the extra $2 and get the full size portion, the food we got was too good to eat too little:) Each bowl had brown rice base with lettuce and a different style topping. -Greek Chicken Bowl- my mother in law got this and she loved it. She wouldn't stop talking about how delicious it was. Lots of chicken, olives, onions, feta. It looked really great. -Buffalo Chicken Bowl- my husband loved this, fried chicken bites covered in buffalo sauce and blue cheese. -Thai Peanut Bowl- I ordered this without the sauce and it came with it on which usually ticks me off but I was so glad I didn't skimp on whatever delicious magic that came in that bowl. Raw broccoli, other various veggies, rice and lettuce (I got mine without meat but it comes with a protein). Granted it did not fill me up but it was so good. A little spicy in a good way.
(4)Samantha G.
The food here is always delicious. The brunch is absolutely amazing, the Californian omelette and the whole wheat butter milk pancakes are a must. The $5 burger and $2 mimosa special keeps people coming here during less busy times. Both are always a good choice. The only reason I am not not giving it full stars is the service. Although the food is amazing, the service could use some improving.
(4)Noel T.
Yup! Another homerun for Ciccio Restaurant Group. The food and service was great and much better than Datz. We ordered the Tijuana breakfast bowl and the greek omelet and have no complaints. We even received a complementary cookie for being a first timer! Once again, Ciccio Restaurant Group is winning me over...
(4)D S.
Great Atmosphere and there food is amazing :) Not expensive by any means.
(5)Gina H.
Captain Crunch French toast...need I say more? I just got the side portion added to my carnivore omelette which was also amazing. Quaint with a nice little patio with misters. Great service and great food. Oh and don't forget the many mimosa choices. Definitely coming back!
(5)Lisa P.
This place has a super chill atmosphere and the food doesn't disappoint. I enjoyed the mimosa (of the three available flavors, I had the orange) and my strawberry salad was deliciously fresh. The people around me had burgers and omelets; all looked incredible. The staff were very friendly - I was greeted immediately by both the hostess and server. I will definitely be back.
(5)Ryan E.
Aka The Old Meeting House! I have been eating here for the past 25 years. This place is a great little diner with amazing service. Buffalo sandwich is awesome!
(5)Jason M.
First off, you people (yes, I mean you people) need to ask for Doug when you have a seat in this fine establishment. The dude has a menu item and manages in the evening. Exceptional service, great table-side manner and quick with the refill on most any liquid. The outstanding service not withstanding, the food is excellent. I took a chance and made a Sunday morning reservation this last weekend with me girl - a first time visit for each of us. She landed the CA Omelet and I have a weakness for Eggs Benedict. We were not disappointed and even caved into Doug's recommendation on the Captain Crunch French Toast. The cuisine was prepared correctly and swiftly, served in sequence with a smile and simply had a very efficient and professional vibe - while keeping the flow of patrons at a steady pace. The price is approachable, the atmosphere social and the cuisine is solid. Give it a go!
(4)Camryn G.
Such great service and even better food! The manager/server Laura was so sweet even gave us a free cookie!
(5)Kristina H.
We live on the east coast of Florida and recently spent a weekend in Tampa. I found this little eatery via YELP! when I searched for breakfast spots near the places we would be visiting and the hotel we were staying at. We had a few choices to pick from, so I showed my husband the menus of all the places and he decided upon Daily Eats! We came early (8:30) on a Saturday and were seated promptly by the friendly hostess. As time went on the place got a little more busy but not bad for a weekend. We examined the menu for a long time. It is not huge but there are plenty of interesting choices! Take time to look at he menu. There might be a hidden gem that you missed the first time through. Our food came quick enough and it was delicious! I had 2 scrambled eggs with cheesey bacon grits and an english muffin. The grits were amazing! Very cheesey and the bacon isn't overwhelming. My husband had french toast and was worried about having to use fake maple syrup. He ended up getting caramel pecan french toast, so he didn't need syrup. However, they do have REAL maple syrup for a small upcharge. We will not hesitate coming back to this location the next time we're in Tampa. Great tasting food for very reasonable prices. We were only able to try breafast, we would love to return later in the day to sample lunch/dinner and the shake menu.
(5)Garrett T.
Had several great experiences at Daily Eats the first one was at breakfast time. We did arrive a little towards brunch time about 11am. We waited outside in a covered, misting fan waiting area for about 10min. We were seated in a booth by the restrooms and I noticed the wall decor as soon as we sat down. They have some great deals on mimosas so I ordered several flavor which were all delicious. I ended up ordering the buttermilk pancakes and they were quite amazing and large. The server was really nice and attentive. Overall I had a great experience and will definitely be returning.
(5)Sondra C.
I have been going to my beloved Daily Eats for years now. I don't get to visit often but it's been my number one choice in SoHo for a while now and with good reason. I love the diner feel of this place and the food, OMG, the food!! They are very inventive and delicious. Right about this time of year, they have my favorite quesadilla with turkey, stuffing, Jack cheese and a little cranberry sauce that, as Liz Lemon would say, is amazeballs! I think they call it the Holi-Dilla. I also love their shredder bowls and my favorite is the Daily Eats Waldorf bowl with brown rice, tender roast chicken, celery, blue cheese, candied pecans, strawberries, a strawberry vinaigrette and chantilly dressing. It's to die for! I've also had their potato chip-crusted turkey burger and I humbly declare it the best turkey burger I've ever eaten. Any time of day is good to visit. They have healthy, delicious menu items too but if you have room to splurge, I highly recommend getting one of their whoopie pies for dessert. So good, I darn near wept. This place gets packed because it's so popular, but I've never had to wait too long. They have ample parking across the street too. The service has always been great with friendly, attentive servers. And most of the menu items are under ten bucks and some of the best local food around. Heck, I would rather go there than Berns that is just up the street and that is the truth. I salute you, D.E.!
(5)Heather W.
Though the wait was about 25 minutes, it was Saturday so I guess that is no surprise. The food was great (pancakes were awesome!) and so was the service - our server was very accommodating and the manager even came over to welcome us since it was our first time there. He gave us a super yummy cookie As a Thank you for coming, which we enjoyed on the plane ride home. We plan to go back to the gulf beaches area soon and will definitely come back to DE!!
(4)Sisi B.
Got the steak and egg breakfast bowl and was full, satisfied, and had plenty left over. Love how there are lots of low carb, gluten free options. Definitely will return when I am back in town.
(4)Jude B.
Only works if entire party is ready to sit not a good place to meet someone for lunch however the food is good just not convenient for business and time pressed lunches etc...
(3)Elana L.
I was starving and it was 10:30 am on a Sunday. I knew we were going to get to Daily Eats as some churches were getting out of service, which meant there would be a wait, but I was willing to wait. We had about a 25 minute wait for a table but it was refreshing to stand outside under the misting sprinkler. (Just the perfect amount of mist! Enough to cool off but not get soaked! Kudos for that idea!) When we were seated we noticed the 'diner' music ever so faintly in the background. Nice to relax to! I had read about the Coconut French Toast, and I LOVE french toast so I thought it was only appropriate that I give it a try. It was delish! Perfectly cooked and just the right amount of sweet! I barely even used the maple syrup because it was so good even without it! I also ordered a side of oatmeal. It was pretty bland, and then I figured out that I should have ordered it with fruit in it. Lesson for next time! My husband had the Traditional Eggs Benedict. It was a little salty because of the ham, but other than that, it too was very tasty! He also had a side of potatoes. They had a wonderful seasoning on them, but could have been a tad bit warmer. We were a little disappointed in our drinks. I ordered 'fresh squeezed' orange juice and it was over $3 for a regular sized cup. That is way too expensive considering I can get a gallon of OJ at the store for $5. My husband ordered an iced coffee. The portion size for this was very large and possibly worth the $3 we paid for it. So, food prices were ok, but drink prices, not so much. Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely come back to try out one of the breakfast bowls. **update** We brought some friends back for dinner and we all had a different shredder bowl. I think the favorite of the bowls was the New York Blue. It had tons of flavor! We also ordered sweet potato fries and pickles for appetizers. Both were delish, but I would highly recommend the fries. They could even be for dessert!
(4)Mandy C.
Loved it! First stop on our Tampa visit. It was a late Thursday morning, so not too busy. I ordered the "Monday Morning" which was egg whites, onions, turkey sausage, cheese on spinach. It was nice being able to order something healthy without having to ask for substitutions. It had a diner atmosphere with outdoor seating available. But still not much overall seating, so I can imagine the wait at a busy time on weekends. Family friendly, tons of healthy options and yummy food. I will be back when in Tampa!
(5)Dan J.
Absolutely delicious! Try the Cap'n Crunch French toast if you want a truly unique breakfast. The staff on hand were widely friendly and gorgeous.
(5)Lisa P.
I've been here many many times and I always bring visitors here! I've had omelets, French toast, eggs, bowls, chicken sandwiches, Mac and cheese, mimosas, coffee, and so much more. I love this place and I have never been disappointed! Expect a pretty long wait during peak breakfast or lunch times. I know it's not much to look at, but it's worth the wait! They also have breakfast all day, which is a HUGE plus! Add cheese to the grits and they are amazing! This is one of the two places I like grits. The loaded tots and the Memphis chicken sandwich with remoulade sauce are amazing!
(5)Meg R.
I really love breakfast food so it's rare that I order lunch items when I go to brunch. The description of the Greek shredded salad bowl caught my eye and once the waiter talked it up, I had to get it. I made a good choice because the salad bowl was awesome - good sized portion with tons of flavorful ingredients on top of rice. I went with the shredded turkey, which I recommend because it's not processed deli meat but rather actual turkey breast. You know how some places skimp on the protein part of the salad? DailyEats does not commit this cardinal sin. I left feeling very full, but not painfully so. I do want to note that my friend got the potato chip encrusted turkey burger, of which I stole a bite. Usually, I find turkey burgers too dry for my liking, but this one was delicious and not dry at all.
(4)Kelleigh M.
we went to daily eats today for Sunday breakfast. It was packed. We had to wait 20 min and were sat outside. The menu offers some interesting bowls, but I for one do not like my food all mixed together so I steered away from that section of the menu. I settled for 2 eggs, turkey sausage, home fries and toast for around $6-not bad. My fiancé ordered a bfast sandwich on ciabatta with a side of home fries. It honestly looked like my order, just made into a sandwich and his was $2 more than mine. All in all, it was fine. Nothing out of this world, but not bad either, although it's pretty hard to mess up bfast.
(3)Dave S.
Awesome experience tonight based on the exceptional service of our waitress Samantha and manager Laura. My wife and I darted in with our two boys 3.5 and 1.5 years of age who were ravenous and tired. Samantha clearly had great "E.Q." As she expertly scooped us up in a busy restaurant and got us to a table and didn't wait to get food/drink orders placed in a flash. While Samantha rocked that out behind the counter and hustled the beer, sangria, and apps to the table...with the 2x boys milk that is...Laura came over and was genuinely accommodating and making sure we had everything we needed. Was easy to see how the place was jamming efficiently with Samantha able to keep our chow and night expeditiously running and moving along by the skillful maneuvers of Laura leading the rest of the staff's charge and facilitating the well-oiled machine. We've been away from Daily Eats for a couple of months but we'll be back a lot more regularly now thnx to the great team of Laura and Samantha. Keep up the awesome work. Semper Fi, Dave
(5)Trevor H.
Just had brunch here while in town with my parents. Gotta say I'm pretty much in love with the place. It has an old time diner feel but with a modern vibe. Their entire menu looks fantastic and had I been more adventurous I would have gone for one of their bowls, a mix of eggs and savory ingredients in a large bowl or one of their Benedicts (apparently the Gobbler is a house favorite). You really can't go wrong on their menu. I ended up making a safe choice and went with a California omelette. It was a great mix of bacon, turkey and eggs stuffed with melted Swiss cheese and topped with some pretty delicious guac. I might be biased because I'm just obsessed with guac. Their Bloody Mary is a must have brunch drink. Very spicy and a decent amount of vodka, I felt amazing starting off my day. Next time I definitely need to splurge and cheat with Captain Crunch French Toast! What was I thinking trying to eat semi healthy??
(5)Kyle R.
I'm a big fan of Daily Eats. I've had numerous meals here and never found anything I didn't like. I have a friend from DC who insists we do a meal at Daily Eats every time he visits. Both brunch and dinner are fantastic, and you get lots of food for not much money. Looking at the menu, the most prominent option is the bowl selection. Daily Eats has a variety of bowls for both brunch and dinner. I recommend The Dougie bowl for brunch as you get to sample the whole grain pancakes which are some of the best anywhere. For dinner, you can choose between a full or half bowl. I'm a pretty big eater, and the half bowl is more than enough for me. Usually I'll get a side item, like the sweet potato fries, to go with a half bowl, and I'm more than full. The menu also includes a lot of other unique items like a potato chip turkey burger and cap'n crunch french toast. It definitely takes a few visits to try everything. The milkshake assortment is also impressive though I've never tried one. Parking is problematic during popular times since the restaurant is located next to Green Lemon, but parking is always a chore in Hyde Park. Also, unless you arrive really early, the wait for Sunday brunch can be pretty long for any party larger than two.
(5)Tamiks W.
Very nice place. Very very busy. Everyone is nice. If you want breakfast please get their by 9. They change over to lunch by 1030. They home fries are very good but they will run out so get there early. We love the sangria.
(4)Jenna W.
Had breakfast here while in town because of the good reviews it had. The food was good, nothing that really blew our minds but it was fine. The grits were very good. Service was ok, took a little while to get our drinks and food and we never saw our waitress ever again. Some other girl came out and dropped off our ticket. Must have been slammed for them, but still...wasn't too impressed.
(2)Abigail D.
We decided to go here last minute after visiting the Florida Aquarium and it was a great decision. As soon as we pulled up we could see it was packed. We had to wait for 25 minutes for a table for 2 but it was well worth the wait. I ordered the potato chip crusted turkey burger with a spicy remoulade sauce and a side of cheese fries, and my mom ordered the bacon cheeseburger half size shredder bowl. My meal was one of the best I've ever had in Tampa. The turkey burger was juicy on the inside and crunchy without being oily on the outside, with a great tang from the remoulade. The cheese fries were hands down the best I've ever had. The fries were unique with a crunch that will never be matched, and the mix of cheese was perfect. My mom enjoyed her shredder bowl immensely. For dessert I got a brownie shake which was made with fresh brownies - it was so delicious! My mom had apple pie that was fresh, crisp, and very traditional (in the best way). I would not hesitate to go back and am looking forward to doing so next time I'm in Tampa!
(5)Denise S.
I have to be honest, I fully intended to eat dinner at Datz this past Sunday but apparently they close at 3:00pm on Sundays. Cruising around Hyde Park my friend and I spotted Daily Eats and decided to check it out. It has a diner look and feel about it and we like diners. The staff was quick to greet us and seat us. We chose to eat outside, and our server Sydney was very knowledgeable about the menu. They serve Daily Eatsbreakfast, lunch and dinner all day and she told us about specials that were not on the menu. She suggested a quesadilla that was like having a mini Thanksgiving for an appetizer. We were a little skeptical so we ordered a half and split it. I won't do that again. I want one of my own, no more sharing. The turkey was moist and perfectly seasoned, as was the cornbread stuffing. The cheese brought it all together and there was a cranberry and sour cream dipping sauce. OMG! I was in fat kid heaven. I ordered the Memphis Southern Fried Chicken sandwich on Ciabbata bread and it came with a remoulade dipping sauce. That thing was huge. It was also delicious. It came with a side salad and I managed to eat half before surrendering and getting the to go box. My friend had an Angus burger and she likes it medium. I find that unless you ask for medium rare most burgers arrive overcooked. This one was a perfect medium. She said she was very happy with her meal as well. Our server checked on us regularly but was not intrusive. I felt the prices were reasonable with entrees averaging between 8 - 10 dollars. My only complaint was that it was chilly outside and the AC inside was just as bad if not worse. The servers were cold too. If only they could fix the temperature as well as they fix a plate of food. Oh well, next time I go I'll remember to bring a sweater. And there will be a next time. Daily Inside I usually take pictures of the places I eat and my order but the food was so good I forgot, thus the generic photos. Sorry! You got to try this place and let me know what you think
(4)Alexi A.
Summary- Damn good breakfast with all the right ingredients. I could have ordered the whole menu. Food- 4.5 Stars I had the Tijuana Breakfast bowl. It was pure awesome with the added option of jalapeno's and turkey sausage. So good. Wifey and Bro in law were very happy with their omelets as well. Drinks- 5 Stars Iced coffee was huge and pretty solid. They get bonus points for having Southern Tier on tap Service- 4 Stars Perfectly timed and friendly enough waitress. Value- 4 Stars A bunch of good food for the money. Atmosphere- 4 Stars Kinda dineresque in a good way.
(5)Maura P.
Finding a great place for breakfast can be a real challenge. Yelp has made it so much easier when stepping out of comfortable neighborhood. I had an eye doctor appointment at the Optic Shop and we decided to eat here for breakfast. It was amazing!!! The eggs benedict were by far the best I have ever had at a restaurant. The hollandaise sauce had a touch of a lemon flavor. As close to home made as you can get. The grits were very creamy and remained hot the entire time. I would highly recommend!
(5)Katie A.
Came for Sunday brunch. Didn't have to wait to sit at the bar. The server was so helpful! I told her I couldn't have gluten so she walked me through every item on the menu that I could have and made recommendations. She was attentive and friendly even when the counter filled up with a half dozen more folks. The food was fresh and had lots of color. I will definitely check this place out again. I think next time I will try the Tijuana bowl. The guy next to me had it and I was jealous!
(5)Berit M.
So far my favorite breakfast place in the area. Everything I've tried so far is amazing. Hands down best French toast i've ever had! California Omelette rocks and the eggs are always cooked perfectly. Def try a shake sometime too. Dougie is one of the best servers. Can't go wrong with Daily Eats!
(5)Illiana A.
I some how forgot to review this wonderful little gem. I apologize. What I really love is that I can take my dog with me, yeah I'm one of those people. In my defense she walks on her own, doesn't wear clothes(backpack doesn't count), and she is well mannered. Hell, she behaves better then some people's kids! My Boyfriends favorite is the NY blue bowl, with a side of tater haters. From breakfast favorites with a twist to one of the best Veggie burgers I've had and milkshakes made of Captain Crunch! They have a little bit of everything to satisfy anyone. Breakfast served anytime. I"m always a fan of that.
(5)Danielle K.
Daily Eats is one of those places I'm willing to go when other people want to - but it's never one of my suggestions. I think it's ok but definitely overrate in town. Have you seen the line to get a table on the weekend?!?! The food is pretty good. Their Mexican omelette is a standout item on their menu along with the French toast variations. I also like the grits. Outside of that, nothing has really wowed me. It's not bad, but it isn't amazing either. I'd say that most of my less than stellar feelings come from operational issues and problems with the service. First, their wait estimates can be VERY off. My group was once quoted a 10 minute wait, and it ended up being 40. I'm willing to allow some leeway in that in case people linger, but that was a gross understatement. Second, some of their waitstaff is friendly but some can be a bit snooty. Not sure what's up with that. This last thing is actually a long, rambling story. On New Years Day, I was there for brunch and ordered the aforementioned Mexican omelette with home fries. When it came, I did not have home fries - I had tater tots. I looked at one of the other tables, and another customer had home fries. I asked about the substitution was told they were done serving home fries. Huh??? Don't get me wrong; I'm down with tater tots, but I like home fries with breakfast. And what do they mean by done serving home fries? Come to find out, they ran out at about 10 when I was there. Kind of annoying, but not as annoying as making the substitution without asking me and just dropping off my food like it was how I'd ordered it. Nice try, but no. Not saying I wouldn't come back, but I'm also not counting the days until I do.
(3)Beth S.
it doesn't appear that this place needs another great review, but I'll go ahead and give it one anyway. I've eaten here twice in the past two weeks and it's been awesome both times. It's jammed during lunch so we did wait a little bit for our food but it was totally worth it. The first time I dined, we had an AMAZING waitress. She was friendly and helpful and really on point. I had the cali bowl and the small size (they have a large option too) was perfect. The bowl was jam packed with food that tasted fresh and was filling. The brown rice was perfectly cooked and the hummus we started with was an excellent light appatizer. The great thing about this place is that they have so many healthy options in addition to their great amount of "cheat day" items. The second time I dined there was during lunch and we sat at the bar. The staff was again, super helpful and friendly, but the kitchen seemed slammed. It wasn't a big deal because we still got in and out in an hour. This time I ordered the BLT with tater tots. Ya gotta love a place that serves tots. My buddy ordered the fried chicken sandwich and was supremely impressed with it. All around yumminess. I can't wait to go back and try some of their breakfast items which are served all day - a big bonus in my book.

One of the many, many eateries along Howard and we ended up there on the bounce, having learned Hugo's now closes at 5 pm. Daily Eats is bright, lively and loud. Lots of customers coming through and very kid-friendly, hence high decibels echoing off all hard surfaces. The menu is extensive with lots of all-day breakfast options. Also plenty of shakes, burgers, wraps, shreds, etc. Very much enjoyed the chicken teriyaki ...and if the sauce comes from a jar...I want the jar too. Portions are smaller than most places, so no left-overs to go. Also had several sugar-free pie choices, and enjoyed the banana cream. Clearly a popular SoHo eating place, and convenient to the legendary Tiny Taps Tavern, which is dim, quiet and no-kids. Last night we enjoyed both variations.

The food was good, actually great. But upon first impression , the place seems like a great atmosphere, and I was quite impressed at first. But once entering this eatery , the wait was ridiculously long. As I waited for this so called famous good food, I noticed that their " flow" was poorly organized . As a very busy business owner myself, it's imperative to handle business flow with high priority. As a business grows and becomes more successful. you have to adapt and change with the increased business . This place has not adapted as of yet . If this great eatery would expand their size and staff, I truly believe they will reach new levels of success and possibly put other local completion out of business. But until then , no matter how great the food is, 30-45 minute wait ( no matter how amazing the food) in the 93 degree heat will affect customer retention in the long run. Food was great, staff was friendly, but overall I would not look forward to waiting in the the over crowded parking lot in the sun. Next time I will take my order to go!

I ate here last night. The service is friendly. They have the best vegi burger around and the vegetarian chili is also good. This joint definitely has good things going for it.

Had breakfast here yesterday while visiting a friend...got there around 10am and there was already a 1/2 hour wait. But the busboy was nice enough to get us coffee and hot chocolate while we waited. They sat us at a small booth which was fine for our party of 3 and we perused the menu. The waiter was kind of nice in a rushed sort of way and he quickly got our drinks. The menu has a lot of interesting choices, my friend ordered a scrambled egg and french toast bowl over home fries with vanilla maple syrup drizzle - it looked really good. I got the large bowl of steel cut oatmeal with bananas, bluberries, pecans and vanilla honey - YUMMY. Remember folks - not to be a hater but - this is Florida. I didn't have a lot of expectations for the food based on past experience but this place was ok.
(3)Kathleen K.
Definately 5 stars for atmosphere, service, menu choices and taste! The good morning honey and the cali bowl are my faves... i come from citrus county just to eat here (and run bayshore to work it off! )
(5)Angela L.
Cali turkey burger was delicious! Waitress was friendly and helped me make this burger more "gluten" friendly by suggesting to get rid of the bun and replace with spinach leaves. It was so good, thank you!
(5)Shazia T.
i came here with a friend for breakfast. the wait was pretty long, so i guess this is a popular place. i had the eggs benedict with spinach and tomato. it came with some grits. i was pleased and wouldn't mind going back.

This was our 2nd & last time at Daily Eats. It was a Saturday around 3:30 pm. With only 5 other tables seated and eating, we waited over 40 minutes for our burgers while marveling at the fact that the place seemed to be staffed by 12 people who were doing very little. There seemed to be two managers, 1 bus boy, 3 kitchen workers and 6 waitresses. Only the eldest waitress seemed to be actually busy. Interestingly, there was a sign on the door accepting employment applications Tables, floors and booth seats were not clean. There was a close encounter with a very dirty mop being carried at table level by the bus boy. My booth seat covering was cracked and kept scratching my legs uncomfortably. Our food was extremely greasy and we noticed a strange thing: there was an aluminum bowl of sweet potato fries on top of the back counter, & every so often the cooks would drop more fries in and the waitstaff would reach in and help themselves, so we thought it was no big deal. Then our orders came out and I saw our waitress reach into said bowl with tongs to fill my plate w/ my order of fries and then she brought it to our table. The fries were notably soft, lukewarm and not hot & crisp out of the frier. We kept hoping that the Restaurant Impossible guy would barge in, retrain the staff, clean the place and help out, because good restaurants are few in this part of the state and this one certainly ain't one of them.

Favorite spot for lunch, brunch & breakfast!! Highly recommend checking it out. I have been a loyal customer to Daily Eats for years & years. No matter where I go & what I do I always come back!! I have never had a bad experience with the food yet. I do have to warn you brunch or lunch on weekends specially has long waits & if you don't mind waiting then definitely try it out. They have the best sweet potato fries in Tampa bay in my opinion. The breakfast bowls, Benedict & omelets are all wonderful. The parfait are huge & delicious! Crunchy French toast is a must!! Salad bowls are amazing & all have wonderful flavors & excite your taste buds. Burgers & sandwiches are satisfying & yum!! Go. Run. Do it, get some Daily Eats!
(5)Christine M.
Stopped in for lunch we didn't have to wait which was a plus. They were serving breakfast still and a limited lunch menu. I got one of the shredder bowls which was good and my son had the buffalo chicken sandwich.
(3)Brooke K.
My husband and I were torn between having dinner here or at the Mexican place next door. We were already sitting down in Daily Eats when we decided to try the place next door instead. Since we had already ordered drinks we decided to split some chili cheese fries. The fries were pretty good, nice and crispy. The chilli probably would have been better in just a bowl, it was a little watery to put on top of fries. What really stood out was the service. The waitress was very friendly, quick, and efficient. When she heard us talking about going next store she said that we should really try to guacamole there as it is very good. All together were were probably in and out of Daily Eats in 10 minutes. We would definitely be willing to go here and try some other items on the menu because of the outstanding service.
(4)Elizabeth W.
My co-workers and I frequent here often after a long night at work for their amazing breakfast and their mimosa's! We love that after getting off a crazy night at work, when we show up in scrubs they are only $2! DEAL! They have some yummy flavors like blueberry, watermelon, apple, cranberry, of course original and a few I'm forgetting. This trip in particular Kodi waited on us and did a great job. I met a co-worker there after work (I was off the night before) and opted for a latte. Saddened to find out they were no longer serving expresso at all!! I got a house coffee instead. Kodi did mention that I could get flavoring in my coffee, and I'm glad she did :) My friend got her fav. blueberry mimosa. For breakfast I got the Heathy JL, which consisted of a spinach and tomato omelette along with a side of oatmeal with their house granola, and honey whipped yogurt. Now, when they say a side they really mean a bowl. I managed to eat my omelette but the amount of oatmeal that came was almost overwhelming! It was so much food!! It was all so good thou! Next time I may just order the oatmeal or the yogurt parfait because the honey whip infused yogurt and granola is to die for. Keep up the good work Daily Eats. You do breakfast right.
(5)Paul M.
This place is so delicious. They have an awesome menu for brunch! The location is superb. We order the mimosa tower every time. The service is always very good. The breakfast bowls are a great mix of your favorite breakfast items! Definitely try this place! You will not be disappointed.
(5)Arielle P.
Pretty neat spot on Howard for all day breakfast and lunch! Came here on a Monday morning for some hair of the dog and grub. Had their beer/Bloody Mary cocktail, forgot the name, but these are my favorite type of cocktail and they nailed. Nice and savory with a kick. Had the Tater Haters app which sent me into deep thought on why I hadn't thought of that on my own. A basic yet delicioussss combo. Omg, worst reviewer ever, I can't remember the names of anything! Well whatever, I had a eggs Benedict with NY strip steak and mushrooms with a side of fruit and it was damn good. Steak could've been warmer, but I still enjoyed the flavors. My friend is a fit junkie so she had a grilled chicken bowl with brown rice. Boring but she said it was good also.
(4)Cory K.
Great price point for the amount of food you get. It's top notch. Cap'n crunch French toast is on point and a lot more than I thought from what the menu said. Expect this place to be packed at noon. Coffee is great.
(5)Rachel O.
You would be foolish NOT to come here!! Absolutely amazing place plus amazing service! We were on our way back to the airport, yelped "breakfast" and luckily came across this place. I have never been happier with the quality of the food and the quality of the service before. It is most definitely a hidden gem. At least for me as a first time visitor, but soon to be resident of the area. Before I move down permanently I will be back to visit and I now have my new favorite breakfast/lunch place.
(5)Miranda S.
I had a great experience here! I ordered Dan's Chicken Melt, one of their house favorites, and it was the most delicious sandwich I've had in a long time. Their sweet potato fries cost extra but are worth the price. Did I mention they have an all day breakfast menu? My SO ordered a breakfast bowl and a milkshake and loved both. The milkshake was a bit pricey, but it looked like a work of art so I can't complain too much. Overall, the staff was friendly and the atmosphere was relaxed and inviting. However, it is a very popular place so if you go during a regular meal time, you might have to wait a while to get seated. Or you could do like we did and go in the middle of the afternoon and not wait at all.
(5)Peter C.
Been here a couple of time and every time I Come I'm never disappointed... The food is always great the service is always good and they always have great specials going on....
(5)Isabelle R.
This Jersey girl is happy to have a diner style place close by! Daily Eats is so yummy! Always a crazy long wait (brunch time on weekends, forget it!) but the food has always been a winner. I love The Lox, the Burger bowl, tater hater, Captain Crunch french toast. Great casual place for any meal of the day.
(4)Kristen B.
This is a great place for a casual brunch. Diner style eating. They have outside eating which is also nice and they are dog friendly. Don't expect fancy pants food but it's definitely tasty. Service can be slow when they get busy.
(4)Kris C.
The best breakfast I've ever had. The Fish Tacos can't be touched. Everything here is good. All the servers are super friendly. Just an overall great place.
(5)Erik E.
On the 7th day, as He sat back taking in his creations, God whipped up one final concoction--Captain Crunch French toast--which he catalogued in the Book of Eats. Everything I've had here is amazing and, based on the consistent crowd of brunch snobs and foodies, I'm not alone. Staff is incredible, too. Rock on Erin and crew.
(5)david k.
In Tampa for only a few days and tried to squeeze in as many food places as possible. Daily Eats was by far the best breakfast I've had. I was alone on a Friday lunch and the place was packed inside. Once I squeezed into a free spot on the bar eating area, a lined formed immediately behind me and the outside seating filled up quick. This was a good sign to me; so expect a wait when you get there. I had to get what a friend recommended to me and got a breakfast bowl and the french toast. I added a little guac on the bowl to make it "healthy". funny thing when I ordered the french toast was that when I was asked how I wanted it, at least 5 people around me unanimously said "crispy!" I'm glad I took their suggestion because I later found out it was covered in cap'n crunch. The bowl had plentiful eggs well scrambled and the bacon was done perfectly. The portions were huge and I was almost certain I was going to pack away what I couldn't finish off. Good thing for the endless topping off of hot coffee (and a to-go cup before I left), I stuck my guns and finished everything. I do know this, when I go back down to Tampa on a red-eye, this will be the reason why I even book the red-eye.
(4)Bob B.
I used to come here often with Betty back in the day. They are priced fairly and the food is pretty consistent. Eggs benedict was sometimes a crap shoot as they would be overcooked half the time. They have unique milkshakes and the service is very good. Haven't been here in a while, but wouldn't hesitate to stop in. On a side note, parking sometimes sucks when at peak moments but there is street parking close by.
(3)Caitlin S.
My mom and I stopped in for a quick lunch before my flight home and we left satisfied! We split a patty melt on a DE bun with sweet potato fries, and each got espresso. We got a puff'd (marshmallow) shake to go. We told the waiter we were kind of in a hurry, and he made sure to get us in and out quickly. The patty melt was delicious, cooked as ordered, lots of flavor. The sweet potato fries were drizzled with honey. Not as crispy as I like but they were tasty. The shake was good too, and I was impressed that they use real whipped cream. All in all service was excellent and the food was quite good. I would come back!
(4)Rose O.
Great breakfast. A hot spot.
(3)Sebastian M.
I don't live in Tampa, but I will definitely be returning every time I fly into the city. I wish I had a Daily Eats in my area. Service: Amazing! Our server Kate was spectacular and very attentive. wait time was minimal for the food to come out. Food: Ordered the NY Blue bowl; best choice I could have made. Great size portion, taste was great, a lot of steak. Over all, amazing! Also ordered the Oreo shake, It's a must!
(5)Patrick K.
Well It wasn't thanksgiving but i had the Turkey! This was not my first time to Daily Eats but it was my first time having lunch and boy was I pleasantly surprised. I ended up ordering the Turkey Burger dipped in Cornflakes with Fries (You have to have fries with a Burger) and let me tell you, WOW! this was delicious moist, hands down one of the guest burgers I have had. My two lunch companions had the rice bowls, one with Ahi and the other was Gyro and they both raved about how good theirs were as well. We got there at 11:50 and was seated within 15 minutes - during the lunch rush and trust me there was a bunch of customers waiting. We never felt rushed and our server was awesome. Guess what, Daily eats, you have me as a very satisfied customer
(5)Kim H.
So Daily Eats is a must stop when I am in Tampa!! I always get breakfast when I come. Today I decided to try something different. The greek Shredder bowl was delicious!! It was light, healthy, and full of flavor!! A must try for a light healthy lunch!!
(5)Fred D.
Always solid good food. Not a culinary experience but good old fashion food. Eat there often.
(4)Breonna L.
psssstttt, The apple-pie milkshake has crack in it. Okay, not literally but the milkshakes are sooo delicious and addicting, i was convinced that was something illegal in it! I couldn't stop myself from sipping the delicious heaven in a cup. When I first received my order, there was a long blond hair hanging out beside my pickle. The server took it back and they remade my food. The manager was really nice, apologized and took off of my bill. I've worked in fast food/restaurants before so I realize these things happen sometimes. Oh well, just remake my food and please hold off on the hair strings this time. I ordered a turkey burger on wheat with tots and it was very delicious (i made sure there were no hair in my food this time!). My friend ordered chili fries and a veggie burger. We both were satisfied with our food and service. I will come back again.
(4)Denise M.
Fun all-American classic diner with fast friendly service. Hubby and I stopped for breakfast based on other Yelper reviews and thoroughly enjoyed our meals. For this visit, it was only the two of us today so we didn't wait long for outside seating. I ordered a side of tater tots with "The Dan", gorgeous breakfast sandwich with eggs, bacon, fried jalapenos on a fresh chibatta. Hubby ordered the The Tijuanna bowl, a hot spicy mess of delicious. We both our meals and can't wait to visit again to try another Daily Eats favorite.
(4)Kwame O.
A partner of my who live in the area recommend this place. This is a solid small diner located in the SoHo district . I arrived in town in the morning to have breakfast. I was quickly seated . The place is pretty small and busy . Parking was a challenge. I ordered a California omelette that includes house made guacamole, potato frys and wheat toast . Over all a solid spot for breakfast. Full bar with happy hours specials also.
(5)Hassan A.
This one is simple. The service is great. The food is delicious. Eat here! I do every time I'm in town!
(5)Mindy M.
The Captain Crunch French Toast was amazing!! Don't forget a side of bacon!! I definitely recommend eating here. I ate on the patio and it was very relaxing!!
(5)Malia S.
I'd definitely go back to try other options on the menu. The Thai bowl was ok. Mom loves all the gluten free options.
(4)Amy Z.
Great breakfast place. Good selection of breakfast all day. Love the blueberry mimosas.
(4)Ashley R.
Good fun food. Really enjoyed this place. Will be back for more of those $2 mimosas. Service wasn't the greatest but $2 mimosas make up for that.
(4)Derek N.
You cannot go wrong eating here. Simply home cooked, comfort foods is why I like to go back. The burgers are juicy and well portioned, the mac n cheese decadent, and the breakfast bowls are to die for. The food comes out fast and hot. I love the combinations they use to make the menu fun and exciting. The problem I have is that I always want 3-4 items.... My favorite item is the buffalo mac n cheese bowl. I also like the Tater Hater which is there loaded tots. The parking is a little frustrating at times. They have a great happy hour special for drinks and food.
(4)Cassandra S.
Love this place. I live down the street and often walk here to grab a burger bowl for dinner. It's also a must visit when friends are in town. Any dish with salmon is always amazing.The servers are always nice and never uppity. The prices are affordable and dishes are consistent.
(5)Lauren B.
This cool place in SOHO (south Howard Ave) has some great options. I ordered online and went to pick up. They have two reserved 10 minute spots for people picking up which is really convenient. The staff was friendly and knew what I was there for. I ordered the buffalo chicken shredder bowl and am currently stuffing my face, it's so good. I also ordered a side of sweet potato fries which are amazing as well. The half of the shredder bowl is kind of small, so I wish I had gotten the full but it's a good amount for what you pay. When I went to pick up the food people were eating outside with their dogs. I love that! I'll have to keep that in mind for taking our dog out around there.
(4)Julie N.
So I go here all the time and love the food. But I just had the WORST service ever. We were completely ignored for the first ten minutes even though we were sitting right by the register. Everyone proceeded to chat and ignore us. Finally our server comes over after another server takes our drink order. Then doesn't come back at all. We get our food from someone else also. Then I had to stare down a waitress to make eye contact to get some pepper. After all this a totally different person brings us our check. No one asks if we want drink refills, dessert etc. . Mind you the whole time our server was within 5 feet from us. Get your shit together Daily Eats!
(1)Michael J. C.
Simple food, quick and convenient. The wait can be a bit long so be prepared, but overall amazing.
(5)Melissa Z.
I'm thinking the food may be a little hit or miss here because what I ordered looked nothing as good as the pictures posted here! Still, this is a cool diner in Tampa. Inside has the big booths reminiscent of a 50s diner. They have counter stools too. I am a big fan of their outdoor dining area; the patio offers plenty of shady thanks to the roof overhang. They have a great menu with lots of options, however you do get what you pay for here. I ordered the omelette with goat cheese and avocado. Three tiny slivers of avocado was what I got and there wasn't a tablespoon of goat cheese in the entire omelette. It was good but it could have been much better. The biggest issue with this place is the service, so if thats a big deal to you, then you will need to go elsewhere. We were in the mood for breakfast late on Sunday morning. The hostess sat us promptly with breakfast menus. It took at least 5 mins for the waitress to make the first stop and when she did she whisked the menus from our hands and told us they were switching to the lunch menu in a 2 minutes. Well, maybe if you greeted us when we first sat down 5 mins ago we could have ordered. I don't give up on a place just because of one below average service experience, so ill be back to try their other items and will update my review then.
(3)Patty C.
My boyfriend and I were in town from Miami and love looking for new places to eat!! THANK YOU YELP FOR LEADING US HERE! We went on a Saturday morning. The food was simply amazing and tasted so fresh. We sat at the bar and got a perfect view of all the food being sent out. Everything being sent out had to be perfect! The staff was extremely nice and friendly. The waiter was very helpful and attentive. The food was very very tasteful and fresh!! We are going back for dinner because we loved it so much!
(5)Julie Mae C.
Delicious $2 mimosas after 2 pm on Saturdays and they serve breakfast all day! I had a special turkey hash panini type sandwich with homemade remoulade sauce and eggs! Cant wait to go back!
(5)Tina C.
I don't know what it is about brunch but I always order everything and I had the same problem here but actually finished it all. So good. The salmon lox was so fresh and generous on the salmon, the breakfast potatoes with the eggs were unreal. And the brunch drinks were perfect. Can't wait to go back when I'm in town !
(5)Dante G.
Took the whole family out last night! Kids love this place and my wife and I love this place! Good vibe great food and I absolutely love the vegan chili! We will definitely be back!
(5)Z A.
It's all about the chocolate chip pancakes here! Unbeatable!!!
(5)Scott P.
Just left Daily Eats....asked for the BBQ Chicken Sandwich I had on Friday, and they would not serve it. It wasn't after 3PM??? Crazy. It was Noon on Friday when I had it. Time of day really shouldn't matter.....oh well, so we left. Now we are at Panera enjoying Lunch. I have always enjoyed my Meals at Daily Eats. Not today, new management? There are ways to say "no" but I didn't get it today.
(1)Mario S.
What a delicious place to eat! I went there this past weekend when i was up in Tampa for the weekend. I had gotten the Memphis fried chicken sandwich with cheese fries and my fiancé got the Tijuana bowl. They said there's 2 eggs in that bowl..and they were wrong..more like 5-6 eggs! It was so good! I tried that Tampa Mule drink..wow is all i can say! It was so refreshing! The first time i went there i did a Google search for best home fries in Tampa and this little hidden gem popped up. This is definitely a must visit every time i am in Tampa! If for some reason you weren't sure whether to eat here or not.. Don't even hesitate!
(5)Karole S.
We were staying in Tampa for the weekend the and wanted a place for breakfast. Looked on Yelp, read the reviews for this place and decided to give it a shot. So glad we did. First, Jay our server was excellent, friendly and recommendations were spot on. The food was delicious. Husband had the captain crunch french toast and said it was the best he's had. I had the greek omelet and it was huge, fresh and delicious. We will definitely be coming here again next time we visit Tampa. You ever get just a good vibe from someplace? This place, the area has that vibe. Good atmosphere is only topped by the excellent food. Thanks for a great. Dining experience.
(5)Lilly R.
Great staff and service and food. Get there early for brunch or you will wait a while. Call ahead and the hosting staff with help you know how long the wait is. I've never been disappointed here.
(5)J. S.
-We ordered water with lemon of course we just got water (not a biggie comparedto what was going to happen -Ordered "steak and eggs" I got a bowl mangled with poorly and questionable meat and scrambled eggs that tasted horrible I just sent it back. -and I

Hip breakfast spot. Seated in 10 minutes despite the fact it was packed for Sunday breakfast. Younger college crowd, lots of energy. Three egg omelet , peppers, mushroom, onion with goat cheese. Excellent. Super service. Plenty of cute to look at ...
(5)Desiree D.
Well, my friend talked this place up, and yes the food was pretty good. I came here on a Tuesday Morning around 10:30 AM. Had terrible service. It was not super packed, ive seen diners in New Jersey that were slammed but the waitors have been on their A-Game..but here not so much. I came with two other people & altho we were seated right away, it took awhile to get our waters..menus..and even put in our order. It seemed like all the waitors were basically farting around and not really servicing anyone. I believe the owner or some type of manager who was sitting behind us over heard us talking shit and cracked the whip on one of the waitors. I got "The New Yorker" At first glance, i thought to myself "im gonna be hungry after this". I was wrong...half way through eating this Egg Benedict with a fair amount of Salmon..i entered the Itus mode. It also came with a side..and i chose Home fries which were okay. I knew i should have gotten the grits but they charged extra for cheese. lame! The Benedict itself was great and worth the $10 or whatever. OH annnnddd i had an Apple Mimosa which hit the spot! I wouldnt say that you should rush here..but for breakfast it was pretty good.
(3)Bob C.
The most casual of eateries. New age food mixed with old time favorites. I love this place
(4)Kenneth B.
Samantha was our server and she was excellent. Being a server myself I love recommendations and she suggested the Bison Burger and it was delicious. Their sweet potato fries are...as she swore by, "the best around." Keep up the good work, DE and Samantha!
(5)Melanie H.
LOVE THIS PLACE!!! Again, I ordered the fried chicken ranch bowl. You can never go wrong with chicken, bacon, or ranch! Ask for Whitney! She's ahhhh-mazing!!!
(5)Claire K.
Disclaimer: One of the waitresses comped the bill in order to correct the situation, but that is merely because the squeaky wheel gets the grease. When your customer at a table of 4 is standing in front of you 38 minutes after an order was placed, you know that they are dissatisfied, especially when the most difficult order was french toast. I actually walked in the restaurant to inquire (both of our waitresses were MIA for eons) and went back in again for coffee/drink refills. I think they just forgot about us. With the disclaimer out there, I am the only person in my party that is willing to go back and try again. Aside from almost chewing the support beams on the porch while we waited,the food was mediocre. One breakfast bowl went back (it was cold) and order cancelled (it wasn't worth the wait for another), one breakfast bowl was lukewarm, eggs & toast okay (standard!) & the crunchy french toast good. You would think that anything might taste great after the wait for a table (45 mins...not complaining- this is understandable on a Sunday) and then the wait for food (38 mins) but noooooo. Daily Eats is in my neighborhood and I had hoped that this could become a regular in my repertoire. I'm sad.
(2)Shannon Q.
When I think of breakfast this is the first place that comes to mind. I love that there is so much to chose from and it fits any mood. Do I want something traditional or something trendy and healthy. Your choice. The only downside is that it is a small place and often so crowded that you have a long wait. The take out holds up pretty well.
(4)Notso K.
Great food all day but the breakfast is unbelievable! Never had a bad meal here. Our server was Victor and provided excellent service. Pricing is good for the quality of the meal.
(5)Stephanie H.
Hands down my favorite casual restaurant in tampa! My favorites are the tater hater, Greek shredder bowl, grilled cheese, the macs, and the shakes. You can go healthy or not when you eat here. The service is great and the environment is nice, casual and clean.
(5)Marie W.
This place isn't bad. The BBQ sandwich is pretty good as are the sweet potato fries. Service is actually really good, seems like teamwork is strong. The only thing that blows is parking, but what else is new in South Tampa? Haha
(4)Rhonda D.
I can't recommend this place enough! I was visiting from Las Vegas and heard great things about the shakes. I'm so glad I listened! The food is incredible and the service is too. My server made sure that everything was how I ordered and my soda was kept full. I had the loaded grilled cheese and ordered the cheesy tots. I debated since I already had the sandwich, but it ended up being a great choice. The tots were sitting in this amazing cheese sauce (no canned nacho cheese here!) and melted shredded cheese on top. My favorite part was feeling like I was in an old school diner complete with Formica tables and glass Heinz ketchup bottles!
(5)Joey L.
I just can't help myself, I'm a regular here. Every time I walk in I get the jitters because I just don't know what to order, it's all so very good! Do I stick with what I know and get a blackened bacon burger with tots or maybe I should roll with my favorite buffalo chicken bowl and make it with spinach so I can feel better about my health. Do I head towards the Mexican bowl and add chicken? So many excellent choices! I feel like Will Ferrell in Old School when Frank the Tank slams his beer, only it's the food...It's so good...once it hits your lips, it's so good! Dan's chicken melt is my newfound favorite these days. You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. I would like to know how many pounds of tots Daily Eats runs though in a day? Gotta be an impressive number, they are always cooked to perfection.
(5)Colton S.
I come here frequently and am always pleased. Really great tasting food at a reasonable price. Highly recommend their Daily Eats bowls, super good. Breakfast served all day is great.
(5)Bev S.
Lovedddddd it. The service was awesome...the food was pretty good , it was a chilled atmosphere ...I loved the variety of choices especially the breakfast menu. Will definitely become a regular in the future

I got the Mexican chili bowl. It was really good and the portions were pretty large. I didn't get any meat, so they let me add quinoa for free. I know they're both owned by the same people, but Daily Eats is a lot better than Lemon (which is next door). Everything I saw come out of the kitchen looked good. I think you'll be hard pressed to find something bad on the menu.

I recently got to try this place out and I'm in love. What a great place for brunch or lunch. I love the unique diner style of this place and the options for a healthy or not so healthy meal are extensive. I ended up coming here with a small group of people on a not so busy Monday so it was great to have such quick service and get seated timely. I can't wait until the next time I get to experience this deliciousness!
(5)Kimberley A.
Love this place! No bad thing to say, wish they were a little bigger, so you can go in with larger groups.

Visited the weekend of June 19th. Ate there twice, once for breakfast and once for dinner. Service is wonderful. Their signature dishes are bowls; breakfast, lunch or dinner. Farm to table ingredients. Great choice for a visit when you're in Tampa!

My wife and I have been to this establishment twice now and have been very happy with the quality of the food and the friendliness of the staff. The wait can be a little long and the service a little slow if they are busy but it is well worth it. I ordered the buffalo chicken sandwich and I highly recommend it with the tots. On another note, you will see a review posted by another user today that mentions hair in food and a disrespectful manager. I was sitting right next to that gentleman and his partner and I can tell you that the manager was very cordial. In fact if there was anyone out of line it was this customer. He started shouting and even used some adult language with children around. His (the customers) behavior was way out of line and unfortunately made things very uncomfortable for several surrounding customers. I understand there is something wrong with your food but your behavior was not acceptable sir. Anyhow, we love daily eats and I hope you do too!

Every time I eat here I am reluctant and only going because my hubby loves it, but every time we are done I think "oh yea, that's actually pretty good!" What turns me off is that the menu is very "cafeteria deli" and reads too bland, plus it's got a very casual vibe (and I'm not a casual gal). I've had the club on wheat, the BLT on white and the mac & cheese-all very delicious, especially the club on wheat with the sauce it comes with...yum! Will return, I suggest everyone try it at least once!
(3)Jeff D.
Good food fast, I dropped in today to have a bite to eat on my way home and enjoyed a quick meal. I had one of the bowls that they offer and was happy that I had two sizes to chose from. The Greek bowl was full of good stuff and served fast. The service was friendly and I was explained all of the specials and offered a refill on my drink. All In all a good spot when you wand to eat fast.

Daily Eats is obviously doing something right because the place was packed when we went there for breakfast. Unfortunately for us it was raining when we got there. There wasn't anywhere to wait inside so we had to huddle under the small porch out front with other people that were waiting to get in. After a good wait we eventually got seated. I didn't have any complaints about the breakfast I got, but it didn't feel like anything special to me either. That was probably my fault because I just ordered a standard breakfast with pancakes, eggs, and bacon. I should have tried something unusual, such as their turkey hash. If I go back for breakfast I will definitely do that, but I haven't been motivated to go back when I can go to other places where I don't have to deal with the wait.
(3)Noelle F.
Third time I have been here and the food has always been great. This time we waited a little bit to be greeted, however the manager came over unprompted and apologized and bought us desert. Our waitress was great and they were very accommodating for the rest of the meal. Their crusted french toast and potato chip crusted turkey burger are amazing, and they have a full milkshake menu. A most try when you are in soho or tampa.
(5)Matt M.
Food was good and service was good. Not the best I've ever had but I'd definitely try it out. It's cheap, the foods pretty good and it's healthy. Try it out!
(4)Shawn K.
Had a great experience here today. The wait to get a table for two on thisSaturday noon was about 20 mins, so we just helped ourselves to the bar area and ate there. the staff were really nice and well coordinated, they helped each other out in order to get through busy hour. The food was amazing and came out timely. It was a well managed restaurant with good menu, fair prices, and friendly staff. The place has a lot of health and non healthy choices, so it's win win for everyone!

Cool breakfast fest
(4)Paul S.
Great variety and a few unique items combined with 4 hot sauce options and awesome service made for a repeat-worthy brunch. Don't clean your plate unless you have time for a nap!
(4)Marlene P.
Been a Daily Eats reg for over 3 years now. The service has always been fantastic, the ingredients are fresh, and the consistency of the dishes is always amazing. They hit the nail on the head and then some. Weekend brunch can get pretty crazy (its a good thing, trust me) so if you want to be in and out I suggest yet get there by 8a, 10a the absolute latest because if not, you're gonna wait at least 45 mins. They're known for their Shredder Bowls and awesome breakfast but you cant go wrong with anything here, believe me. Definitely a food staple in Tampa.
(5)Michelle D.
Delicious food and drinks. I had the chef's famous crunchy French toast, it wasn't really crunchy, but the flavor and moistness of the French toast was amazing. Blueberry mimosas to go with. They have amazing burgers here, and the Newyorker Benedict is nothing short of delicious. Come here and try literally everything. Only down side is no reservations and long waits, but a lot of people seem to put their names and ditch for the other nearby restaurants, our hour wait turned about to be about 30 minutes.
(4)Haley D.
For a diner, this place is phenomenal. It's a super busy spot in the SoHo district, so you'll most likely have to wait for a table on Saturday and Sunday. It's a pretty small place so the seating is very limited. However, the wait will be way worth it. The Shredder bowls that I've had have all been excellent. All fresh ingredients and toppings let you know that this establishment prides itself with quality over quantity. I like a spicy styled eggs for breakfast, so I choose the Tijuana (which is gluten free btw). The eggs are scrambled and served with vegetarian chili and cheese. I look forward to my menu selections on our next visit.
(4)Brett N.
Why 3 stars? Because this is the exact definition of A-OK. --- --- --- Daily Eats is why 3-star reviews were invented. I have been several times. I have never loved my meal. I have never hated my meal. Nothing has ever stood out one way or another. Being mediocre isn't a bad thing though... especially when my girlfriend loves you. As for me? I've tried a variety of items over the last few years, and I have nothing to recommend or advise to avoid in particular. This has been "Vague Hour" with Brett. Stay tuned for an all new Ricki Lake.
(3)Khemy P.
I'm not gonna sugar coat it or write an essay. Daily eats is a great stop on a shopping day or if you're craving a specific dish they make. I'm in love with the Captain crunch crusted french toast and eggs. I drive 25 mins to ge that dish. Always recommend.
(5)Melissa G.
I've never had a bad experience here, everything's always good and fresh. Fav tampa spot for post-workout meals.
(5)Ann L.
This was a fun visit to an interesting diner. I guess I was lucky as I arrived around 1:30 on Saturday afternoon and was by myself so getting in was no problem. The hostess asked if I wanted to sit at the bar which I did - the smell from the kitchen was wonderful. The waitress was great, got my drink right away and made helpful suggestions for my first time there. I tried the hamburger bowl (though she said The California was most popular) and had a basket of fried pickles. Everything was delicious, fresh and quickly served. Sitting there at the bar I watched all the orders come out, breakfast is served all day. I was offered a drink to go when I got my check. All in all this was about as good as it gets. I will surely return.
(4)Robert G.
I'm a big fan of their Shredder Bowls. There's one in particular I order every time I visit. What I especially like about the bowls is that their healthy options. The Cheese Burger Bowl is my go to lunch and/or dinner choice. I up the healthy quotient by subbing beef with bison and add spinach. This dish has such great flavor to it and tastes so decadent yet it truly is a great high protein healthy option dish. Of the many times I've dined at Daily Eats the serve has always been good to very good. I highly recommend Daily Eats for brunch, lunch and dinner.
(5)Logan G.
Okay so I usually love daily eats but this time they seriously messed up. I ordered an egg bowl and asked for runny eggs. I ended up getting scrambled eggs so I sent it back. Then they brought it out with scrambled eggs again and tried to tell me they were runny scrambled eggs.... What the hell! Anyways I guess they don't know what runny eggs are and they don't care to get your order right The second wrong order was just left with us after the waiter tried to make "runny scrambled eggs" a thing. There was no offer to actually fix it.
(1)Tom M.
Great place for Sunday Brunch!!! I just went here on Sunday and this place was packed as usual. I suggest eating at the bar inside, its first come first serve. I've never had anything bad off their menu and every day from 2-7 pm you can get $2 mimosas.
(5)Natalie D.
best pancakes ever! i always get a pancake and the tijuana bowl
(5)Hoda B.
A good place to have breakfast, huge variety, fresh and healthy, I will be back again to try their lunch
(5)Dan S.
Good place, with solid good food.
(3)Brent L.
Food was good. Service was terrible. 10a on a monday, they were busy but not full. Waitress never brought us coffee as we asked, and never brought the grits that came with my meal even after I mentioned it multiple times. Then still charged me full price on food I didn't get. There's plenty of other options around the area to choose from.
(2)Jacob M.
My wife and I and a friend ate lunch here on vacation and it was really impressive. The breakfast options (all day I think?) are creative and very tasty. I had one of their featured "bowls" that had gyro meat, tzatziki, veggies over a bed of spaghetti squash (sub for rice I highly recommend). We had the special pork quesadillas and a group side of sweet potato fries drizzled in honey. Outstanding across the board, original, well prepared, nice staff. Must try.
(5)Kenny G.
One word sums up the breakfast here... Wonderful. The pancakes are really good, and the turkey hash was amazing. Lauren did a really great job! I would recommend this place to anyone and the next time in in Tampa I will be coming here.
(5)Nildalia C.
Ordered the Traditionalist Benedict....one egg was poached. Otherwise the food was pretty good and the tater tots were bangin'....get your own tots!!
(4)Chris L.
I and every guest I bring love this place. The food, portions and selection are excellent. And the service is the best in Tampa
(5)Dustan P.
Seriously !!! Every time I come here and order they have ran out of food I was here at 1045 and I sat here for 20 min waiting for food, then they tell me they are out of grits last time it was oatmeal I was told they stop selling breakfast at 11am. But you serve it all don't so .... I heard the server yelling at kitchen staff about inconsistency, so that's not my fault that food was sold out and I didn't get my grits prior to 11 AM so then I asked can I get 2 pieces of French toast since grits are out she said No , That's a joke not here to please customers and then they wanna charge me 4 dollars for French toast. Only in south Tampa So after this I will not be returning here to another ruined restaurant due to south Tampa staff that just care about $$$ instead of customer service I will be taking my buisness to Hyde park and I assure you this yelp review will be one to be in the books so anyone that eats here is you want overpriced hangover food then come to "basic eats where all the basic people eat !!!!
(2)Todd B.
Daily Eats came very very close to disappointing me, but they saved it with the meal they served. This was a 3.5 star meal, but I'm rounding down for 2 reasons We showed up wanting a late breakfast, and sat down at around 2:50 or something. I should point out that I am not positive about the time - but it was 5-10 minutes before they switched from their breakfast menu, to their lunch/dinner menu with breakfast all day. This is important, because the server came by after a few minutes and took the breakfast menu away and gave us the lunch/dinner with breakfast menu. She told us that they were 2 minutes-by that point- from the time they switched and said we couldn't order from the full breakfast menu anymore. I want to take a full star away for this, but I won't because I'm a nice guy, but this is B.S. First, we had already been sitting for 3-5 minutes. Second, if you draw a line in the sand, then you should abide by that line. If I had 2 minutes, then I had 2 minutes. I don't like being the person who, for example, sits down in a restaurant within 10-15 minutes of closing, but this was the middle of the afternoon. Same kitchen, same cooks, and if I had 2 minutes, I should have been able to order what I wanted. So while I didn't deduct the star, this is the first of two reasons for the rounding down in my rating. Anyway, the issue was, of course, that my girlfriend and I both wanted something on the regular breakfast menu that wasn't on the all day menu. But, putting the spoiled brat part of me aside, we each found something on the all day menu that we liked. I got the Dan - scrambled eggs, fried jalapenos, bacon and swiss (I dropped the tomatoes because, lets face it, tomatoes are "icky," to use the scientific term) on chibatta bread. Really good breakfast sandwich. However, I ordered fries with that (what? who doesn't like french fries for breakfast? Besides, I ran that morning, which means if I want fries for breakfast then I can have fries for breakfast!). The fries weren't that good. I don't understand the battered french fry thing. I've complained about it before, but it doesn't improve the fry. Cut potato, drop in fryer, drown in bucket of salt (seasoned salt, if you're feeling fancy) and you're done. Anything else is unnecessary and doesn't add to the flavor, it detracts. Hence, you get rounded down from 3.5 stars. I realize 3 stars is mediocre, but this was a 3.5 star meal and I am anxious to go back to try something else.
(3)Maria Christina V.
This place really is as good as the reviews say. Went Saturday morning at 11AM. I knew it would be busy but we really didnt wait that long to be seated; maybe like 10 minutes.The place was packed but we were well attended and got our food quickly. We got the: Tijuana Bowl New York Style Eggs Benedict California Omelet Fresh Squeezed Orange Juice Everything was delicious, hot, and we got GENEROUS PORTIONS! Enough to take food home for later. My omelet was hearty with lots of meat (turkey, bacon), melty cheese, and super thick with lots of eggs! SO GOOD! And the orange juice was delicious all though you just get a small cup. All in all, an EXCELLENT place to go. Would definitely go back and take friends there in the future. I look forward to going there for lunch or dinner to try their other food items. Lastly, the price is just right. About $9 a plate but you get TONS of food!
(4)Angela S.
I had to downgrade this place a little bit. The last few times we have been here the service has been pretty bad. The hostess seemed confused a about how to put 2 tables together to accommodate 4 adults, 2 kids, and a baby. They just generally seemed unwelcoming. The servers are also so slow! When you have a baby with you time is much more of an issue. Even though I still like the food a lot we will probably have to try to find a more efficient breakfast spot with the baby.
(3)Ebonie J.
Visited this place for Sunday brunch ..Great small place with great food. We had Apple mimosa's with turkey sausage and egg sandwich. Very good food and great service...small so expect a wait.i would recommend you go early..I will visit this place again soon.
(5)Adrian D.
Awesome breakfast food here! I had their Tijuana omelette, and it was great! The place was so packed that I ordered to go, and it was still pretty good. I have also had their shredder bowls, and they are awesome as well. I suggest to anyone!
(5)Mofongo M.
Average food for exuberant prices, that's how I know I'm in SoHo. Staff is nice and that's nice but I will not be eating here again. If you enjoy basic breakfast with out-of-touch Yuppies here's your new favorite spot. Overhearing their gripes about the boat taking too long to be repaired or what to do with the yacht now that they live on a golf course was funny at first but, wow, just at first. Best part was waiting forever to be seated to eat greasy fried food. I'm going back to Seminole Heights. I'll leave the booth open for some yacht club kids so they have somewhere to eat while they wait to collect their inheritances.
(2)Sonja J.
first time visiting Daily Eats. The menu was fun the food was tasty and our server was a lot of fun!
(4)Alexandra W.
This is my go to place for a South Tampa brunch. The breakfast bowls are good as well as the mojito's. I go for the atmosphere and the outside seating. A must for the South Tampa brunch scene.
(4)Jennifer C.
Oh. My. God. Really, that is all I can say. I am drooling just thinking of writing about the food I ate there today. I said to my mom the other day something like: I haven't found any place in florida yet, that I simply can't live without, with food that I crave. Well, I think I've found it. My mom and I ordered our own meals but shared, so I've tried the New Yorker (representin'!) Benedict (puddle) it was so friggen delicious and the salmon wasn't even fishy at all. It was sweet, salty and savory. I also got to try their turkey burger which was so fresh I swear they just killed the livestock out back before making my meal. Their food is so full of flavor and even making health conscious decisions won't leave you hungry or disappointed. I will DEFINITELY be going back.
(5)Charles S.
Overall a solid meal. Contemporary, edgy diner serves up bowls of great grub. Went for lunch and the place was packed, so we sat at the bar and were immediately helped. Waitress was really on top of her game. She had the whole bar area on lock, and was extremely accommodating to everyone in the restaurant, not just us. The concept here is quite unique. It kind of reminds me of a japanese restaurant that serves donburi or "don" for short, but substitues fish and seafood for classic american fare like bbq chicken, hamburger and interestingly enough, turkey (which was great). There are a few not-so-traditional concoctions such as the Thai bowl which was also great. What I liked most about this place was the balance of all of the ingredients in the bowls to really make it a healthy, complete meal. The turkey option is also nice, as it is a nice alternative to the usual chicken. This is a neat concept worth trying out. I look forward to eating here again when I am on this side of town. 4.5 stars.
(4)Yisha B.
Amazing food at very reasonable prices with ridiculously large portions. I think that's enough said. This is a great brunch place and they even make their own juices! Definitely worth a try!
(5)Rich B.
Weekends here seem to be insane, but they turnover tables pretty quickly. During the week, this is a great breakfast spot. Friendly and warm staff and lots of regulars. It's what you'd want in a breakfast spot especially if you happen to be traveling through. Their menu has some interesting sounding but sweet dishes like captain crunch pancakes. That said, you can totally have a nice healthy breakfast if you play your cards right. My only wish would be to take the coffee up a notch. Espresso would be nice and I imagine this neighborhood would eat that up.
(4)CJ S.
If you are really hungry or seeking breakfast all day this place is awesome. They have some original recipes and healthy options too like quinoa, spinach, and fruit blend drinks. And they also have amazing ice cream shakes and pies for when you want dessert. Most of the time service is good but we've gone a few times and had to wait a bit, but the food is always good. There is both outdoor seating and bar seating almost like a diner too for when you need to grab something quick. Parking can be tough at peak hours but there is an alternate lot across the street. Overall a cool place with a fun upbeat atmosphere and an interesting menu.
(5)Sarah X.
The food was good, plenty to choose from on the menu, and the service was good. ........ I got a message from the owner(?), after he read my previous review saying I wasn't completely satisfied with the atmosphere....... ((It really was just me... I'm -stupid- picky, and it just wasn't my type of atmosphere...... however..........) he told me to come back to try it out again, they would take care of me, and that they were expecting me. I'm pretty sure I know where I'm going for breakfast lol A for effort for real. I've delt with quite a few different companies lately that clearly do not give a damn about customer service...... I'm extremely impressed, and I really, really appreciate this. Thanks Jeff ;)
(5)Jeremy B.
The people make the experience! The food is amazing and the drinks and fantastic! Lora will be seeing us again! Thank you for a great start to our day!
(5)Karesa P.
Food was average. Service was poor. Messed up on the food, no coffee until the end of meal. No refills. However server did make it up to us by adjusting the bill and bringing us cookies. So we will try it again.
(3)Alexa S.
yum! This place is so cute, and the food was on point. Healthy or cheat meal worthy, can't want to go back!
(4)Tracey R.
We have returned to Daily Eats after a nine month break from it. We are sitting here drinking beverages with no ice which they are still charging us $2.25 for and they are warm. My mac and cheese has bits of other food in it. The fruit is lying exposed right under the food service window. This place is run by a younger crew and it is starting to show. I sat at the counter amd you can see a lot of unappetizing things from that view.......including workers snacking on a fry or other small bit off your soon to be delivered meal.
(2)Soy H.
I came back the next day and Travis kept his promise. It was DELICIOUS as usual. I also received a response back from management which shows excellent customer service. I'd recommend everyone try this place!!!!
(5)Franklin P.
Here for the first time and probably coming back my wife and me had two breakfast bowl really good .
(4)Lauren M.
I just had a really yummy breakfast bowl with lox and scallion cream cheese! Followed by the captain crunch French toast, which does not need any syrup at all, it was crunchy and sweet on the outside and the bread was gooey on the inside. Lauren, my server, was awesome and recommended the grapefruit mimosa, which had the perfect amount of sweetness!
(4)Paul F.
Extensive menu appealing to all in our party. The food was excellent, and the service was one of a kind, Kodie was the best she made us feel a part of the family! We have had difficulty finding a restaurant in the Howard, Hyde Park area that are "truly" family friendly ... This is the place - 5 Stars!!!
(5)Mariana W.
Was just served the most flavorless omelet I have ever tried. Spinach and goat cheese. Eggs were bland, avocado was hard ( not quite ready) and there was honestly a teaspoon of goat cheese inside omelet. Toast was good. The steak and egg bowl was a little better though steak appeared to be grisly minute steak as opposed to shaved beef. Provolone cheese helped. Made both the server and the hostess aware i did not care for omelet -I did eat the fruit and toast, however, so I guess that's why I was charged the full price.
(2)Anum A.
Every item was delicious! We had the Mexican, pancakes and home fries. All were amazing!
(5)Jaime F.
Ate here while on vactaion, THREE times! The best diner in SOHO! Our server Laura B made great suggestions, and even offered us dessert after breakfast! I only had breakfast here; they have great healthy options as well as the famous Capt. Crunch French Toast, (which is AMAZING). I highly suggest you eat here, several times!
(5)Mark H.
Pretty good eats - not oversized portion. It's a bit annoying that they will not seat parties of less than three in their 4-man booths. Instead, they squeeze you in shoulder to shoulder at 1.5 man tables or let you just walk out. Those 4-man booths sat empty the entire time we were there, but we saw as many as 3 couples walk out because they didn't want to wait for more compact seating. Food gets an B+, service gets a B+, use of available seating gets a D. If there are only two of you and you want a larger booth instead of waiting, remember to bring your invisible friend.
(3)K.L. R.
If I could give less stars I would. Over an hour wait to be seated (after they told us 20-30 min). Over 45 minutes to get simple orders of 4 breakfast foods. I understand places get busy at this time, but to wait 45 minutes for 2 breakfast bowls, 1 plate of eggs and hashbrowns and 1 order of French toast should NEVER take that long. Also too, it's frustrating when you see a group of three people and a group of 2 people who were seated near us but seated well after us be halfway through their meals before we even get our food. I don't know if it was the kitchen's fault or if the waitress forgot to actually put the order in but it's unacceptable. To top it off my breakfast bowl was completely cold and I sent mine back. She did offer to make it again but at this point I was unwilling to wait another extended period of time. Also, would have been nice to have a manager come and speak to our party to apologize when they obviously knew we were not happy by our frequent visits inside to check on our meals and get our own refills. I don't think I will be back. There are way too many places to eat in South Tampa and spend my money.
(1)Candice M.
Daily Eats is definitely one of my go to places when I want a good breakfast. Since I am a health nut, I like that they have a lot of healthy options, which is why I like to go there. Whenever I go I get an egg white omelet with a side of oatmeal. I have never tried their granola/loaded oatmeal but it looks really good. When I am not watching my waistline so much I will indulge and order the oh so good captain crunch french toast. They have these breakfast bowls that my friends really like, but I am one of those people that try not mix their foods, and I eat one food item on my plate at a time ( I can be weird like that I guess) so the bowls never seem appetizing to me but they look interesting. I haven't tried their lunch, but I did try some of their sweet potato fries when my friend ordered a burger and they were REALLY good ( I love sweet potatoes). Def go by there for breakfast. Please note it's dog friendly too, which can be a good or bad thing if you want to eat outside.
(4)Kathy W.
Packed to the gills on Sunday morning as others mentioned. A sign of something good? Eh. Nothing special about the food. Standard breakfast fare along with a few of their own creations and their way of serving the meals. Food was good. However, $40 for three little small meals and two coffees is a bit much. Bottom line OVERPRICED and too cramped to enjoy a meal.
(3)Harry C.
Stopped by on Sunday morning for breakfast. There was a line, but we were sat in less than 10 minutes. Coffee was decent, but at 830 just about any caffeine delivery system will do. The buttermilk/wheat pancakes were more than sufficient, they were amazing. Try the coconut. Pro tip get the short stack. The other meal was two eggs with grits and bacon. Grits and bacon up, eggs were over cooked, down. Would recommend to anyone for breakfast and I'm looking forward to stopping by for lunch and dinner.
(4)Ericka J.
I heard great things about this place by several different people so I thought I would try it out. I went on a Saturday morning, it was busy but the service was still great. Our waiter was Adam and he was great very funny and personable. I got their breakfast French toast bowl and it was to die for. This place speaks for it's self. I would definitely give this place a try if you want a good place to eat in south Tampa and don't want to go to a chain restaurant. The prices are reasonable as well.
(4)Lisa B.
Food amazing, fresh, creative. Service amazing. Parking convenient too. Do yourself a favor and skip the chains-come here for breakfast and leave happy and full! So glad we found it!
(5)M S.
This is absolutely my favorite place to eat. My favorites are the pancakes with pecans, caramel, and bananas and the turkey hash is amazing! I also enjoy their bowls, particularly the Thai chicken shredder bowl and the buffalo chicken bowl. They are generally a pretty solid place to eat. I personally think the captain crunch French toast is a little too sweet for my taste, but most people tend to enjoy it.
(5)Ron D.
Have tried it....and tried it....and tried it. The place is always packed with folks? Everyone seems happy... The shredded up lettuce in their various "bowl" offerings is reminiscent of the lettuce on a Big Mac...Yuk!

This place is a solid place for American food. I wanted a burger, and I had been recommended Daily Eats by a friend in the past, so we came here for dinner. It was exactly as I expected, maybe a little better. Staff is friendly. The tables are on the small side if you don't get a booth, and the seats aren't very comfortable. The atmosphere is very diner-ish. We started with the Tater Hater -- similar to nachos with with tater tots instead of tortilla chips. Then I had the black and blue burger with the sweet potato fries, and my husband had a cheeseburger with a Caesar salad on the side. He also had a strawberry milkshake and a sundae for dessert (yes, he's a glutton). Everything was very good. The taters stayed crispy despite all the cheese sauce. I ordinarily don't like sweet potato fries that are served with maple syrup (they usually end up cloyingly sweet), but I found theirs to be the right amount of sweet. This place would be great if I had a hangover that needed sopping up. It's certainly a place where it's easy to get grease bombed. I'll have to try something healthier next time.
(4)Mitchell L.
This was by far the best breakfast we had on our visit to the area. A busy place with a wide variety of patrons. It's so popular that the wait was long and originally I got agitated but the food made up for it. We will definitely come back next time we're in town.
(4)Jason H.
It's solid. For the life of me I can never remember the name of what I get when I come here, but the gf always gets the famous french toast. You get a lot for the price here, but overall it's just not enough for me to push it to five stars. I like a lot of places in South Tampa (a lot of them, including DE, under the Ciccio's group) and this is definitely in the rotation...especially since, like Brett, gf loves it.
(4)Christina C.
You know how hunger is the best seasoning? I was starving when we first got here. We drove around looking for parking for Gasparilla and after half an hour ended up back where we started and decided to pay an arm and a leg for parking. Therefore, our brunch got pushed back half an hour and having not eaten anything all day, those 30 minutes meant a lot. I got the lox breakfast bowl and my fiance got the captain crunch pancakes. When I first started eating the breakfast bowl I thought wow this is amazing! Halfway through I regained my senses and began to really asses what I was eating. It was a good portion and it is a great combination of flavors. However, overall it was too salty. Whether it was too much smoked salmon (is that even possible?) or too many capers, there just was not enough scrambled eggs and home fries to balance it out. I'm actually surprised that this bowl had too much filling (tomatoes, capers, etc.) than scrambled eggs. Overall it was still great, but could have been slightly better. I still love the idea of breakfast bowls and will be back to try a different one. Also, this kept me satisfied and filled until dinner. My fiance liked, but didn't love his captain crunch pancakes. I blame the fact that he is against almost all things healthy and did not realize the pancakes were whole wheat. I tried it and it was very sweet. He ended up leaving a pancake and a half on his plate. However, I think most people would enjoy these pancakes as long as they do not have a vendetta against whole wheat. The atmosphere is great. It has a very diner like feeling and a good number of seats outside. I can see myself going back for brunch. I love the menu and I had a hard time deciding what to get.

Daily eats is great for both dinner and breakfast. Today I got the carnivore omelette and turkey hash and the GF got a scrambled egg and bacon bowl. We both loved it. I was recently diagnosed with Celiac Disease so it was great that their main menu has GF logos next to each Gluten free item. Our server was good and was great breakfast.
(5)Dolores C.
Ok food and reasonably priced. I think it is probably better for breakfast food.

We took our parents here for a quick lunch and it was a sweet little lunch spot. They said the coffee was actually the best they'd had in a while and thought it might have been the location of the Old Meeting House ice cream shoppe? Nothing looked dated and maybe if it did it was overlooked bc the whole feel of the place fit in with the fast paced feel of a quick serve diner. We all got the half size bowls which everyone loved the portion size except for me. I love a bowl of food and this seemed really small. Spend the extra $2 and get the full size portion, the food we got was too good to eat too little:) Each bowl had brown rice base with lettuce and a different style topping. -Greek Chicken Bowl- my mother in law got this and she loved it. She wouldn't stop talking about how delicious it was. Lots of chicken, olives, onions, feta. It looked really great. -Buffalo Chicken Bowl- my husband loved this, fried chicken bites covered in buffalo sauce and blue cheese. -Thai Peanut Bowl- I ordered this without the sauce and it came with it on which usually ticks me off but I was so glad I didn't skimp on whatever delicious magic that came in that bowl. Raw broccoli, other various veggies, rice and lettuce (I got mine without meat but it comes with a protein). Granted it did not fill me up but it was so good. A little spicy in a good way.

The food here is always delicious. The brunch is absolutely amazing, the Californian omelette and the whole wheat butter milk pancakes are a must. The $5 burger and $2 mimosa special keeps people coming here during less busy times. Both are always a good choice. The only reason I am not not giving it full stars is the service. Although the food is amazing, the service could use some improving.
(4)Noel T.
Yup! Another homerun for Ciccio Restaurant Group. The food and service was great and much better than Datz. We ordered the Tijuana breakfast bowl and the greek omelet and have no complaints. We even received a complementary cookie for being a first timer! Once again, Ciccio Restaurant Group is winning me over...
(4)D S.
Great Atmosphere and there food is amazing :) Not expensive by any means.
(5)Gina H.
Captain Crunch French toast...need I say more? I just got the side portion added to my carnivore omelette which was also amazing. Quaint with a nice little patio with misters. Great service and great food. Oh and don't forget the many mimosa choices. Definitely coming back!
(5)Lisa P.
This place has a super chill atmosphere and the food doesn't disappoint. I enjoyed the mimosa (of the three available flavors, I had the orange) and my strawberry salad was deliciously fresh. The people around me had burgers and omelets; all looked incredible. The staff were very friendly - I was greeted immediately by both the hostess and server. I will definitely be back.
(5)Ryan E.
Aka The Old Meeting House! I have been eating here for the past 25 years. This place is a great little diner with amazing service. Buffalo sandwich is awesome!
(5)Jason M.
First off, you people (yes, I mean you people) need to ask for Doug when you have a seat in this fine establishment. The dude has a menu item and manages in the evening. Exceptional service, great table-side manner and quick with the refill on most any liquid. The outstanding service not withstanding, the food is excellent. I took a chance and made a Sunday morning reservation this last weekend with me girl - a first time visit for each of us. She landed the CA Omelet and I have a weakness for Eggs Benedict. We were not disappointed and even caved into Doug's recommendation on the Captain Crunch French Toast. The cuisine was prepared correctly and swiftly, served in sequence with a smile and simply had a very efficient and professional vibe - while keeping the flow of patrons at a steady pace. The price is approachable, the atmosphere social and the cuisine is solid. Give it a go!
(4)Camryn G.
Such great service and even better food! The manager/server Laura was so sweet even gave us a free cookie!

We live on the east coast of Florida and recently spent a weekend in Tampa. I found this little eatery via YELP! when I searched for breakfast spots near the places we would be visiting and the hotel we were staying at. We had a few choices to pick from, so I showed my husband the menus of all the places and he decided upon Daily Eats! We came early (8:30) on a Saturday and were seated promptly by the friendly hostess. As time went on the place got a little more busy but not bad for a weekend. We examined the menu for a long time. It is not huge but there are plenty of interesting choices! Take time to look at he menu. There might be a hidden gem that you missed the first time through. Our food came quick enough and it was delicious! I had 2 scrambled eggs with cheesey bacon grits and an english muffin. The grits were amazing! Very cheesey and the bacon isn't overwhelming. My husband had french toast and was worried about having to use fake maple syrup. He ended up getting caramel pecan french toast, so he didn't need syrup. However, they do have REAL maple syrup for a small upcharge. We will not hesitate coming back to this location the next time we're in Tampa. Great tasting food for very reasonable prices. We were only able to try breafast, we would love to return later in the day to sample lunch/dinner and the shake menu.

Had several great experiences at Daily Eats the first one was at breakfast time. We did arrive a little towards brunch time about 11am. We waited outside in a covered, misting fan waiting area for about 10min. We were seated in a booth by the restrooms and I noticed the wall decor as soon as we sat down. They have some great deals on mimosas so I ordered several flavor which were all delicious. I ended up ordering the buttermilk pancakes and they were quite amazing and large. The server was really nice and attentive. Overall I had a great experience and will definitely be returning.

I have been going to my beloved Daily Eats for years now. I don't get to visit often but it's been my number one choice in SoHo for a while now and with good reason. I love the diner feel of this place and the food, OMG, the food!! They are very inventive and delicious. Right about this time of year, they have my favorite quesadilla with turkey, stuffing, Jack cheese and a little cranberry sauce that, as Liz Lemon would say, is amazeballs! I think they call it the Holi-Dilla. I also love their shredder bowls and my favorite is the Daily Eats Waldorf bowl with brown rice, tender roast chicken, celery, blue cheese, candied pecans, strawberries, a strawberry vinaigrette and chantilly dressing. It's to die for! I've also had their potato chip-crusted turkey burger and I humbly declare it the best turkey burger I've ever eaten. Any time of day is good to visit. They have healthy, delicious menu items too but if you have room to splurge, I highly recommend getting one of their whoopie pies for dessert. So good, I darn near wept. This place gets packed because it's so popular, but I've never had to wait too long. They have ample parking across the street too. The service has always been great with friendly, attentive servers. And most of the menu items are under ten bucks and some of the best local food around. Heck, I would rather go there than Berns that is just up the street and that is the truth. I salute you, D.E.!
(5)Heather W.
Though the wait was about 25 minutes, it was Saturday so I guess that is no surprise. The food was great (pancakes were awesome!) and so was the service - our server was very accommodating and the manager even came over to welcome us since it was our first time there. He gave us a super yummy cookie As a Thank you for coming, which we enjoyed on the plane ride home. We plan to go back to the gulf beaches area soon and will definitely come back to DE!!
(4)Sisi B.
Got the steak and egg breakfast bowl and was full, satisfied, and had plenty left over. Love how there are lots of low carb, gluten free options. Definitely will return when I am back in town.
(4)Jude B.
Only works if entire party is ready to sit not a good place to meet someone for lunch however the food is good just not convenient for business and time pressed lunches etc...
(3)Elana L.
I was starving and it was 10:30 am on a Sunday. I knew we were going to get to Daily Eats as some churches were getting out of service, which meant there would be a wait, but I was willing to wait. We had about a 25 minute wait for a table but it was refreshing to stand outside under the misting sprinkler. (Just the perfect amount of mist! Enough to cool off but not get soaked! Kudos for that idea!) When we were seated we noticed the 'diner' music ever so faintly in the background. Nice to relax to! I had read about the Coconut French Toast, and I LOVE french toast so I thought it was only appropriate that I give it a try. It was delish! Perfectly cooked and just the right amount of sweet! I barely even used the maple syrup because it was so good even without it! I also ordered a side of oatmeal. It was pretty bland, and then I figured out that I should have ordered it with fruit in it. Lesson for next time! My husband had the Traditional Eggs Benedict. It was a little salty because of the ham, but other than that, it too was very tasty! He also had a side of potatoes. They had a wonderful seasoning on them, but could have been a tad bit warmer. We were a little disappointed in our drinks. I ordered 'fresh squeezed' orange juice and it was over $3 for a regular sized cup. That is way too expensive considering I can get a gallon of OJ at the store for $5. My husband ordered an iced coffee. The portion size for this was very large and possibly worth the $3 we paid for it. So, food prices were ok, but drink prices, not so much. Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely come back to try out one of the breakfast bowls. **update** We brought some friends back for dinner and we all had a different shredder bowl. I think the favorite of the bowls was the New York Blue. It had tons of flavor! We also ordered sweet potato fries and pickles for appetizers. Both were delish, but I would highly recommend the fries. They could even be for dessert!
(4)Mandy C.
Loved it! First stop on our Tampa visit. It was a late Thursday morning, so not too busy. I ordered the "Monday Morning" which was egg whites, onions, turkey sausage, cheese on spinach. It was nice being able to order something healthy without having to ask for substitutions. It had a diner atmosphere with outdoor seating available. But still not much overall seating, so I can imagine the wait at a busy time on weekends. Family friendly, tons of healthy options and yummy food. I will be back when in Tampa!
(5)Dan J.
Absolutely delicious! Try the Cap'n Crunch French toast if you want a truly unique breakfast. The staff on hand were widely friendly and gorgeous.
(5)Lisa P.
I've been here many many times and I always bring visitors here! I've had omelets, French toast, eggs, bowls, chicken sandwiches, Mac and cheese, mimosas, coffee, and so much more. I love this place and I have never been disappointed! Expect a pretty long wait during peak breakfast or lunch times. I know it's not much to look at, but it's worth the wait! They also have breakfast all day, which is a HUGE plus! Add cheese to the grits and they are amazing! This is one of the two places I like grits. The loaded tots and the Memphis chicken sandwich with remoulade sauce are amazing!
(5)Meg R.
I really love breakfast food so it's rare that I order lunch items when I go to brunch. The description of the Greek shredded salad bowl caught my eye and once the waiter talked it up, I had to get it. I made a good choice because the salad bowl was awesome - good sized portion with tons of flavorful ingredients on top of rice. I went with the shredded turkey, which I recommend because it's not processed deli meat but rather actual turkey breast. You know how some places skimp on the protein part of the salad? DailyEats does not commit this cardinal sin. I left feeling very full, but not painfully so. I do want to note that my friend got the potato chip encrusted turkey burger, of which I stole a bite. Usually, I find turkey burgers too dry for my liking, but this one was delicious and not dry at all.
(4)Kelleigh M.
we went to daily eats today for Sunday breakfast. It was packed. We had to wait 20 min and were sat outside. The menu offers some interesting bowls, but I for one do not like my food all mixed together so I steered away from that section of the menu. I settled for 2 eggs, turkey sausage, home fries and toast for around $6-not bad. My fiancé ordered a bfast sandwich on ciabatta with a side of home fries. It honestly looked like my order, just made into a sandwich and his was $2 more than mine. All in all, it was fine. Nothing out of this world, but not bad either, although it's pretty hard to mess up bfast.
(3)Dave S.
Awesome experience tonight based on the exceptional service of our waitress Samantha and manager Laura. My wife and I darted in with our two boys 3.5 and 1.5 years of age who were ravenous and tired. Samantha clearly had great "E.Q." As she expertly scooped us up in a busy restaurant and got us to a table and didn't wait to get food/drink orders placed in a flash. While Samantha rocked that out behind the counter and hustled the beer, sangria, and apps to the table...with the 2x boys milk that is...Laura came over and was genuinely accommodating and making sure we had everything we needed. Was easy to see how the place was jamming efficiently with Samantha able to keep our chow and night expeditiously running and moving along by the skillful maneuvers of Laura leading the rest of the staff's charge and facilitating the well-oiled machine. We've been away from Daily Eats for a couple of months but we'll be back a lot more regularly now thnx to the great team of Laura and Samantha. Keep up the awesome work. Semper Fi, Dave

Just had brunch here while in town with my parents. Gotta say I'm pretty much in love with the place. It has an old time diner feel but with a modern vibe. Their entire menu looks fantastic and had I been more adventurous I would have gone for one of their bowls, a mix of eggs and savory ingredients in a large bowl or one of their Benedicts (apparently the Gobbler is a house favorite). You really can't go wrong on their menu. I ended up making a safe choice and went with a California omelette. It was a great mix of bacon, turkey and eggs stuffed with melted Swiss cheese and topped with some pretty delicious guac. I might be biased because I'm just obsessed with guac. Their Bloody Mary is a must have brunch drink. Very spicy and a decent amount of vodka, I felt amazing starting off my day. Next time I definitely need to splurge and cheat with Captain Crunch French Toast! What was I thinking trying to eat semi healthy??
(5)Kyle R.
I'm a big fan of Daily Eats. I've had numerous meals here and never found anything I didn't like. I have a friend from DC who insists we do a meal at Daily Eats every time he visits. Both brunch and dinner are fantastic, and you get lots of food for not much money. Looking at the menu, the most prominent option is the bowl selection. Daily Eats has a variety of bowls for both brunch and dinner. I recommend The Dougie bowl for brunch as you get to sample the whole grain pancakes which are some of the best anywhere. For dinner, you can choose between a full or half bowl. I'm a pretty big eater, and the half bowl is more than enough for me. Usually I'll get a side item, like the sweet potato fries, to go with a half bowl, and I'm more than full. The menu also includes a lot of other unique items like a potato chip turkey burger and cap'n crunch french toast. It definitely takes a few visits to try everything. The milkshake assortment is also impressive though I've never tried one. Parking is problematic during popular times since the restaurant is located next to Green Lemon, but parking is always a chore in Hyde Park. Also, unless you arrive really early, the wait for Sunday brunch can be pretty long for any party larger than two.
(5)Tamiks W.
Very nice place. Very very busy. Everyone is nice. If you want breakfast please get their by 9. They change over to lunch by 1030. They home fries are very good but they will run out so get there early. We love the sangria.
(4)Jenna W.
Had breakfast here while in town because of the good reviews it had. The food was good, nothing that really blew our minds but it was fine. The grits were very good. Service was ok, took a little while to get our drinks and food and we never saw our waitress ever again. Some other girl came out and dropped off our ticket. Must have been slammed for them, but still...wasn't too impressed.
(2)Abigail D.
We decided to go here last minute after visiting the Florida Aquarium and it was a great decision. As soon as we pulled up we could see it was packed. We had to wait for 25 minutes for a table for 2 but it was well worth the wait. I ordered the potato chip crusted turkey burger with a spicy remoulade sauce and a side of cheese fries, and my mom ordered the bacon cheeseburger half size shredder bowl. My meal was one of the best I've ever had in Tampa. The turkey burger was juicy on the inside and crunchy without being oily on the outside, with a great tang from the remoulade. The cheese fries were hands down the best I've ever had. The fries were unique with a crunch that will never be matched, and the mix of cheese was perfect. My mom enjoyed her shredder bowl immensely. For dessert I got a brownie shake which was made with fresh brownies - it was so delicious! My mom had apple pie that was fresh, crisp, and very traditional (in the best way). I would not hesitate to go back and am looking forward to doing so next time I'm in Tampa!
(5)Denise S.
I have to be honest, I fully intended to eat dinner at Datz this past Sunday but apparently they close at 3:00pm on Sundays. Cruising around Hyde Park my friend and I spotted Daily Eats and decided to check it out. It has a diner look and feel about it and we like diners. The staff was quick to greet us and seat us. We chose to eat outside, and our server Sydney was very knowledgeable about the menu. They serve Daily Eatsbreakfast, lunch and dinner all day and she told us about specials that were not on the menu. She suggested a quesadilla that was like having a mini Thanksgiving for an appetizer. We were a little skeptical so we ordered a half and split it. I won't do that again. I want one of my own, no more sharing. The turkey was moist and perfectly seasoned, as was the cornbread stuffing. The cheese brought it all together and there was a cranberry and sour cream dipping sauce. OMG! I was in fat kid heaven. I ordered the Memphis Southern Fried Chicken sandwich on Ciabbata bread and it came with a remoulade dipping sauce. That thing was huge. It was also delicious. It came with a side salad and I managed to eat half before surrendering and getting the to go box. My friend had an Angus burger and she likes it medium. I find that unless you ask for medium rare most burgers arrive overcooked. This one was a perfect medium. She said she was very happy with her meal as well. Our server checked on us regularly but was not intrusive. I felt the prices were reasonable with entrees averaging between 8 - 10 dollars. My only complaint was that it was chilly outside and the AC inside was just as bad if not worse. The servers were cold too. If only they could fix the temperature as well as they fix a plate of food. Oh well, next time I go I'll remember to bring a sweater. And there will be a next time. Daily Inside I usually take pictures of the places I eat and my order but the food was so good I forgot, thus the generic photos. Sorry! You got to try this place and let me know what you think
(4)Alexi A.
Summary- Damn good breakfast with all the right ingredients. I could have ordered the whole menu. Food- 4.5 Stars I had the Tijuana Breakfast bowl. It was pure awesome with the added option of jalapeno's and turkey sausage. So good. Wifey and Bro in law were very happy with their omelets as well. Drinks- 5 Stars Iced coffee was huge and pretty solid. They get bonus points for having Southern Tier on tap Service- 4 Stars Perfectly timed and friendly enough waitress. Value- 4 Stars A bunch of good food for the money. Atmosphere- 4 Stars Kinda dineresque in a good way.
(5)Rebecca V.
I wasn't impressed. Service was slow, food barley warm when served. We went absolutely starving for breakfast, Normally when you are that hungry anything taste great. not the case., the eggs were very blah, crispy French toast were good but not filling enough to just have that, you really need edible eggs to go with. Was it "horrible "? ... No Was it "good"?...No Therefore 3 stars.. Would I return? Not by my suggestion but I'm sure since it's a local soho place one of my girls will persuade me and I will only hope it's better the 2nd time.
(3)Dave's P.
What can I say everything that I've tried is GREAT...I'm eating and it's so good I can't take the tune to write more about how great it is
(4)Jennifer O.
We visited Tampa and the hotel recommended this place to us on our first night. Thursday was less busy then the rest of the days, but the service was still amazing and the food was just as good. We liked it so much that we stopped by again on Friday. On this day, the hostess Kate was pretty rude to us, but after speaking to management, they expressed that the hostess was new and needed to work on her customer service skills. Weekend mornings are super busy, so plan to come extra early or be prepared to wait over an hour.
(5)Jessica G.
Best bowls in town! Service is super fast. My favorite bowls are the Greek bowl and the Buffalo. Yum!
(5)Addison P.
Regular here with my husband most Saturday mornings. It's amazing food in a great area. We're usually ones to go for the Mexican omelette (the vegetarian chili is amazing!) and it's become a joke with our regular servers that we're not allowed to order Mexicans. The last time I was in, I ran into my boss and sent her and her husband a plate of Cap'n Crunch French Toast A La Mode. She raved about it. Definitely will continue to make the Saturday breakfast pilgrimage.
(5)Kristen O.
Let me start out by saying I love this place and the food is amazing, the servers are fantastic... Typically I would've given this restaurant 5 stars hands down. After witnessing what I witnessed today while eating breakfast there by myself, I simple can not do that. I dined at the bar today with Lauren (waitress). She had a great personality and was extremely attentive. Things became a little chaotic when putting out food for I believe I heard them say table 11. Anyway the owner Raymond began expediting. I ordered a breakfast bowl as I do regularly with a grilled English muffin. I got the bowl first... It was delivered by another server who was sweet. Dark hair, braid and a black headband. She told me the English muffin would be right out... Minutes later Raymond stood in the window asking for someone to drop this, even though I was literally within maybe 4 steps of him. I received my English muffin ungrilled... I asked my sever if they knew what a grilled English muffin was and she said Raymond said it was too busy to grill it... Umm ok, that weird and extremely unprofessional given that I can see on the computer screen that there are only 6 tickets up... What bothered me was the fact that maybe 10-15 minutes prior to receiving my food my waitress Lauren was completely berated by this man Raymond in front of guest about putting her belonging on the side of the bar (which mind you was her station) he told her in front of guests to watch her attitude and do it. I was more than proud that she stuck up for herself... Because I probably would've punch him in his face and walked out. It was appalling. The owners were in a business meeting behind me... Word to the wise if you want to continue running successful business in Tampa get rid of Raymond, he has NO business working in restaurant. He's disrespectful, unprofessional, and so demoralizing of the upbeat character of that building it's insane. If you can't approach your boss in fear of being verbally assaulted, and belittled would you want someone like that working for you, let alone running your establishment!?! He needs to be 86ed!
(1)Cassie P.
I've now been here twice for breakfast...and I've left full and satisfied both times! Chose this place last week because I was celebrating something with a friend- and it's one of the only places you can get breakfast and alcohol :) He enjoyed his fair share (and then some) of mimosas. The place is kind of tiny- which is a little challenging while navigating a stroller/car seat combo. But, they were accommodating and let me choose whichever table would be easiest for me and the cumbersome car seat to get into. Both times I've eaten here, I've had the Bushkie Bowl which has egg whites, spinach, broccoli, bell peppers, red onion, and jack cheese. Don't let the egg whites fool you into thinking it's healthy and not delicious. Haha. But it makes me feel better about eating it. I enjoyed the grits (add cheese) but my friend didn't care for them. I think I'll opt for the potatoes as a side next time. Good diner atmosphere. But, on a weekend, expect to wait a while. :)
(4)Michelle K.
Best brunch place in Tampa. All the plates are around $7-12 and relatively HEALTHY. Yeah HEALTHY brunch place that's not overpriced?! I am sold. Wait is long on weekends but I think it's worth it. Service was terrific and food was awesome. Food is on little saltier side though. Parking is all street.
(5)Austyn O.
Came in for some brunch. Awesome service and awesome food as always. I was helped by a younger guy with a reddish beard. Didn't get his name. I think he was training but he absolutely killed it. Fantastic service. Five stars.
(5)Yasmin L.
good breakfast will return at the crack of dawn!
(3)Maura P.
Finding a great place for breakfast can be a real challenge. Yelp has made it so much easier when stepping out of comfortable neighborhood. I had an eye doctor appointment at the Optic Shop and we decided to eat here for breakfast. It was amazing!!! The eggs benedict were by far the best I have ever had at a restaurant. The hollandaise sauce had a touch of a lemon flavor. As close to home made as you can get. The grits were very creamy and remained hot the entire time. I would highly recommend!
(5)Katie A.
Came for Sunday brunch. Didn't have to wait to sit at the bar. The server was so helpful! I told her I couldn't have gluten so she walked me through every item on the menu that I could have and made recommendations. She was attentive and friendly even when the counter filled up with a half dozen more folks. The food was fresh and had lots of color. I will definitely check this place out again. I think next time I will try the Tijuana bowl. The guy next to me had it and I was jealous!
(5)Berit M.
So far my favorite breakfast place in the area. Everything I've tried so far is amazing. Hands down best French toast i've ever had! California Omelette rocks and the eggs are always cooked perfectly. Def try a shake sometime too. Dougie is one of the best servers. Can't go wrong with Daily Eats!
(5)Illiana A.
I some how forgot to review this wonderful little gem. I apologize. What I really love is that I can take my dog with me, yeah I'm one of those people. In my defense she walks on her own, doesn't wear clothes(backpack doesn't count), and she is well mannered. Hell, she behaves better then some people's kids! My Boyfriends favorite is the NY blue bowl, with a side of tater haters. From breakfast favorites with a twist to one of the best Veggie burgers I've had and milkshakes made of Captain Crunch! They have a little bit of everything to satisfy anyone. Breakfast served anytime. I"m always a fan of that.
(5)Danielle K.
Daily Eats is one of those places I'm willing to go when other people want to - but it's never one of my suggestions. I think it's ok but definitely overrate in town. Have you seen the line to get a table on the weekend?!?! The food is pretty good. Their Mexican omelette is a standout item on their menu along with the French toast variations. I also like the grits. Outside of that, nothing has really wowed me. It's not bad, but it isn't amazing either. I'd say that most of my less than stellar feelings come from operational issues and problems with the service. First, their wait estimates can be VERY off. My group was once quoted a 10 minute wait, and it ended up being 40. I'm willing to allow some leeway in that in case people linger, but that was a gross understatement. Second, some of their waitstaff is friendly but some can be a bit snooty. Not sure what's up with that. This last thing is actually a long, rambling story. On New Years Day, I was there for brunch and ordered the aforementioned Mexican omelette with home fries. When it came, I did not have home fries - I had tater tots. I looked at one of the other tables, and another customer had home fries. I asked about the substitution was told they were done serving home fries. Huh??? Don't get me wrong; I'm down with tater tots, but I like home fries with breakfast. And what do they mean by done serving home fries? Come to find out, they ran out at about 10 when I was there. Kind of annoying, but not as annoying as making the substitution without asking me and just dropping off my food like it was how I'd ordered it. Nice try, but no. Not saying I wouldn't come back, but I'm also not counting the days until I do.
(3)Beth S.
it doesn't appear that this place needs another great review, but I'll go ahead and give it one anyway. I've eaten here twice in the past two weeks and it's been awesome both times. It's jammed during lunch so we did wait a little bit for our food but it was totally worth it. The first time I dined, we had an AMAZING waitress. She was friendly and helpful and really on point. I had the cali bowl and the small size (they have a large option too) was perfect. The bowl was jam packed with food that tasted fresh and was filling. The brown rice was perfectly cooked and the hummus we started with was an excellent light appatizer. The great thing about this place is that they have so many healthy options in addition to their great amount of "cheat day" items. The second time I dined there was during lunch and we sat at the bar. The staff was again, super helpful and friendly, but the kitchen seemed slammed. It wasn't a big deal because we still got in and out in an hour. This time I ordered the BLT with tater tots. Ya gotta love a place that serves tots. My buddy ordered the fried chicken sandwich and was supremely impressed with it. All around yumminess. I can't wait to go back and try some of their breakfast items which are served all day - a big bonus in my book.

One of the many, many eateries along Howard and we ended up there on the bounce, having learned Hugo's now closes at 5 pm. Daily Eats is bright, lively and loud. Lots of customers coming through and very kid-friendly, hence high decibels echoing off all hard surfaces. The menu is extensive with lots of all-day breakfast options. Also plenty of shakes, burgers, wraps, shreds, etc. Very much enjoyed the chicken teriyaki ...and if the sauce comes from a jar...I want the jar too. Portions are smaller than most places, so no left-overs to go. Also had several sugar-free pie choices, and enjoyed the banana cream. Clearly a popular SoHo eating place, and convenient to the legendary Tiny Taps Tavern, which is dim, quiet and no-kids. Last night we enjoyed both variations.

The food was good, actually great. But upon first impression , the place seems like a great atmosphere, and I was quite impressed at first. But once entering this eatery , the wait was ridiculously long. As I waited for this so called famous good food, I noticed that their " flow" was poorly organized . As a very busy business owner myself, it's imperative to handle business flow with high priority. As a business grows and becomes more successful. you have to adapt and change with the increased business . This place has not adapted as of yet . If this great eatery would expand their size and staff, I truly believe they will reach new levels of success and possibly put other local completion out of business. But until then , no matter how great the food is, 30-45 minute wait ( no matter how amazing the food) in the 93 degree heat will affect customer retention in the long run. Food was great, staff was friendly, but overall I would not look forward to waiting in the the over crowded parking lot in the sun. Next time I will take my order to go!

I ate here last night. The service is friendly. They have the best vegi burger around and the vegetarian chili is also good. This joint definitely has good things going for it.

My boyfriend and I absolutely loves this place. It has a modern, young, unique atmosphere. The cleanest bathrooms I've ever seen, and VERY friendly staff. I had the turkey hash and grits and the hash was very flavorful and tasted homemade and fresh. The grits were creamy like my mama makes em. My boyfriend had the carnivore and he cleaned his plate the coffee was excellent. Would DEF recommend to anyone looking for a cool little downtown spot for breakfast. We ate outside in the sunshine and loved it. I eat gluten free and their menu specified the items I could choose. LOVE that. The only thing we were missing was my order came out a little different than I specified and they fixed it right away. There wasn't any butter or jelly for my boyfriends toast.

Have lived within walking distance for a year. Take the kids every weekend and have informal breakfast meetings once a month or so. Has been excellent until about the past month. The wait staff has been awful. Things that used to be easy to request in the past are now "not allowed". "Oh, you can't have that bread for breakfast, it's only for lunch bs someone would have to go to the back to get it". Same damn toast I've been ordering for nine months. It seems a majority of the staff is there for a social function vs. taking care of customers. This morning the waitress's butt was literally hanging out of her shorts. I mean, literally and it wasn't anything anyone wanted to see. I used to tell everyone that it's the place to go, but it has been so bad we are going to start the search for a new weekend breakfast spot. Hard to believe a place could go from great to that bad in such a short time. Must have been a change in management. Hope it goes back the other way sometime soon.

Family just moved to Tampa area and we stopped in at Daily Eats because my girlfriend said it was great. This place is fantastic! From start to finish I was really impressed - we started with mimosas (blueberry and mango, $2 daily from 2-7) and chicken quesadillas. For our main course we had the Daily Eats burger (angus - $6, 2-7 daily, with added bacon, cheddar, and a fried egg over easy), and the New Mexico shredder bowl (with pork), while our kids tried the Mac'n'Cheese and. Every item (even the fries) was cooked/seasoned perfectly. We also had a second round of drinks (Florida Cracker Pale Ale and St. Pete's Mule, also very tasty). We finished with 2 shakes: Stay Puff'd (vanilla ice cream, toasted marshmallow, hot fudge) and Are U Peanuts (peanut butter, chocolate ice cream). Everything we had was top notch, far more than I ever expected when I walked into this little diner!

Great milkshakes! So many different flavors. Very good breakfast food. Good service. Always busy, but never that long of a wait. Love the atmosphere.
(5)Kelly L.
Add strawberries to the chefs famous French toast ! This place is the best !
(5)Martic R.
I always thought this place would look like an "old fashion dinner" with lots of fried food and was I wrong. Came here on a Sunday morning there was a long line of people waiting outside to be seated so I assumed that meant the food must be good or there is no other place open at this time. We decided to go on the wait list which was approximately 20-25 minutes. The wait to sit seemed shorter than the time we waited for the food but the food was great. I love that I can order just one piece of French toast or pancakes and not be forced to eat a full plate. I ordered one French Toast topped with chocolate chips (fantastic), the smoked salmon (not too salty) and a pink grapefruit mimosa. The waitress was very friendly and definitely knew the menu. great place for breakfast, the burger in the lunch menu was also good and if you like Bloody Mary's you should try theirs. I found this place to be very loud so if you're looking for a quiet, conversation place this may not be your to go spot.

This place was super packed when we came on a Friday morning. Fortunately we were still sat right away on the outside patio. The noise level for what it was wasn't too bad. The menu was amazing. Everything sounded so delicious so I tried their goat cheese, spinach and avocado omelette. Not impressed :-/ it was undercooked and flavorless. My bf got their bacon and eggs on a bed of cheese and tater tots. He didn't like it at all. The highlight of that meal was their OJ. The tater tots were good and I was thrilled to find they were GF, along with many other items on the menu. I may or may not try them again if I'm ever in the area. Maybe it was an off day from what I read in other posts.
(3)Sarah B.
We stopped by Daily Eats for breakfast while visiting family. I thought they had a pretty creative menu and the quality of everything that we ordered was great. The staff was a bit agressive and bordered on being rude. But they were attentive and prompt so it wasn't as big of a deal. Overall, we had a nice breakfast which was complimented by a bottle of champagne for mimosas.
(4)Blaire O.
Fatigue. Haziness. Zombie-like walk. Yes. Ann and I are hungover. Shameful, but true. Is the end near? Probably not, but if there is any consolation prize for a hangover, it is yummy breakfast and a mimosa. And what better place to get just that on a Saturday afternoon than Daily Eats? We're glad they stayed open despite a down computer system. I'm not sure what would have become of us if we hadn't had this chance to shovel delicious food into our stomachs like it is going out of style. And AWESOME food at that! Revenge is best served cold and over blueberries, so we took to teaching our bodies a lesson for reacting so disapprovingly to our excesses and ordered two delicious blueberry mimosas. No worries, they have your standard, plus a variety of fruit juice mixtures that will make your mouth water: cranberry apple mimosa. This delightful afternoon cocktail was light and refreshing, the perfect match for a breezy, 80-degree afternoon in Tampa.... continued on Dreaming Ingredients Food Blog.

What a great place for breakfast!!!! There were a lot of us and we all enjoyed our food!!! Best pancakes we've had in a LONG time!!! Another fav was the Potato Chip Crusted Turkey Burger and their sweet potato fries are out of this world!!!!! Highly recommend this place!!! We heard they have a great lunch as well!!!
(4)Yvonne C.
Have had daily eats cater some lunches at the business I work at, but when I went with my husband to eat dinner waited over an hour for our order of mac and cheese and ahhi tuna before we finally left without eating. The waiter even kept saying our order was coming out next but We kept seeing huge tables that came after us get served and they would eat and even leave!!! Would love to try again but hubby was so angry about the service I doubt we'd ever go back.
(2)TDawg T.
Food and service are divine but PLEASE OIL THE DOOR to the womens restroom!! I eat here a lot and it's like nails on a chalk board 15 times in an hour. ...very unpleasant sensory experience
(4)Kay W.
We came here on Saturday for breakfast. Saw many reviews which stressed the importance of arriving by 9:30sh, which we heeded. As soon as were seated, folks were piling in and the wait began. Despite a small dining space, folks seemed to be seated in 30 minutes or less depending on party size. Our server Betsy was very personable, attentive and had good recommendations. We wanted to try a little of everything, so we ordered the Monday Morning(egg whites w/ red onions, turkey sausage, american cheese, on a bed of fresh spinach),The Dougie(chopped whole wheat buttermilk pancakes,egg whites, and turkey sausage, together in a bowl) and the Capt. Crunch crusted French Toast one with strawberries and one with peanut butter chips. I love PB, so this one was my fav. :) Can honestly say we enjoyed every morsel of everything we ordered! Especially the Captain Crunch French Toast.. who would have thought? Only thing I would change would be to saute the spinach in the Monday Morning. Another pleasant surprise was the comped mimosa for first time customers. Can not beat it! We will definitely be back on future Tampa visits because of the reasonable prices, creative menu and cool service.
(4)J S.
The food here is really good. The buffalo chicken sandwich is the best I have ever had. Shredder bowls are delicious if you want a healthier meal. The temperature of mine never seems quite right. It should be layered warm and cool foods. Sometimes it's all just lukewarm. Still good tho. Prices are very reasonable. Service is ok. You get what you need but feel like an imposition. If they improved the servers attitudes and customer service skills this place would be worth the wait you'll have to endure before you're seated.
(4)Nikki K. A.
My favorite is the Mexican omelette....three bean chili topped with guacamole. Delicious. Good choice for kid menu items.
(5)Ashton B.
Very good, fun food. They have an awesome breakfast menu and if you have a sweet tooth I would definitely go for the Captain Crunch French Toast or their Chai Shake. If you are in for lunch their shredder bowls are definitely a good option. Portions are big even for a hungry eater like me so just keep that in mind when ordering the 1/2 or full portions. Serving staff is rad and very knowledgable, just try to stay away on a Sunday lunch, no reservations equals an hour wait. This restaurant also has two sister restaurants on Howard: The Lodge and The Lime; Daily Eats is by far the most original but the other two are worth noting.
(4)Jenna C.
Another reviewer said, "you can go to any restaurant in the Ciccio's Restaurant Group and I guarantee you'll enjoy your meal" and that is seriously the truth. Daily Eats was a fabulous addition to Soho, the patio is a great place to eat, the food is amazing, and the staff is great! Its simple food done right and leaves your soul happier. And its so not even in the same universe as IHOP... please... Oh and their patio is doggy friendly!!

During our last trip to Tampa we asked the hotel staff for a good place, close by, to grab breakfast. When she recommended the local Waffle House, out came my trusty Yelp app with the quickness! Tampa had to offer more than a Waffle House, right?? We stumbled upon Daily Eats, and after reading a few reviews decided to check it out. As we drove by we noticed a decent sized crowd waiting outside. With the fear of Waffle House in us, we decided we would just wait it out. When we put our name in, the hostess said there was plenty of outdoor seating available if we didn't want to wait for a spot inside. Heck yeah! After all, we were still trying to thaw after a very snowy New England winter. Everything on the menu looked great! I decided to try the Tijuana breakfast bowl which consisted of scrambled eggs, vegetable chili, pepper jack cheese and guac served over home fries. Sometimes bowls like this are just a hodgepodge of ingredients fighting for space, and in the end everything just beings to taste like one singular overpowering item. Not this bowl!! There were the perfect amounts of everything, so each bite was a little different and very delicious. All the flavors played very well together, and nothing was overpowering. Next time we're in Tampa, we'll be back for sure!
(4)Danesh J.
It was okay. Wasn't thrilled with the menu. Sort of tasted like IHOP. Not bad, but expected a bit more. The cafe latte was salty. They said that the machine is hit or miss with making them. It was taken off and another drink was brought out, no questions which was decent. I got the french toast and egg bowl. It was okay. Service was good. If you're around and haven't tried it, I guess try it out. It does get busy though.
(3)Nick C.
Not only the best breakfast but food and drinks! Jeff has it dialed in usally get laura as a server so nice and great staff!
(5)Mary B.
Daily Eats is a great place for breakfast. If your schedule allows you to go on the weekday, then I definitely recommend it. It is quite and relaxing. If you can only go on the weekend, then definitely get there before 9am! It is a small restaurant, and gets incredibly busy the later that it gets. Most of the waiting is all outside, so it can get pretty hot in the summer months. They have big booths (3-4) that can accomodate big groups, so it is a fun place to come with friends. The menu is pretty varied, and has a lot of good items on it. I always like the Mexican breakfast bowl. It is really tasty, and always fills me up. The breakfast sandwiches are a good way to go as well if you are on a budget. The service is never crazy good, but at breakfast I am usually a bit more laid back than I am at dinner anyhow. Get a cup of coffee and hang out. There are tv's inside too, so you can catch up on the news from last night, or highlights from last night's game on ESPN.
(4)Pamala H.
Another place I've gotten hooked on. Had several friends that would frequent here for breakfast and finally got the chance to join. I love the item names on the menu and the food is nothing short of delicious. Whether you are health-conscious or a foodie, you won't be disappointed. As with many South Tampa restaurants, parking can get tricky depending on what time you go. Still worth the wait and the money.
(5)Erik W.
Breakfast is spectacular! Great service, great food at a reasonable price. What more can you ask for?
(5)Kayleigh M.
This place is a must go! The good is so yummy, great pricing, and excellent staff! I had the salad bowel ( rice and salad) it comes in 2 sizes and the fried pickles. I have nothing bad to say. I went another time with a big party, still perfect service and no hassle splitting the check! Nothing but great times and great food!
(5)Marissa W.
Last saturday morning Bill and I were in desperate need for breakfast food!!! Initially, we set out to try Pinky's however, there were literally no parking spaces in sight and there was a line out the door so we decided to look elsewhere. I remembered reading really good reviews about Daily Eats so we ventured over to the soho area! Upon arrival, there looked to be a fairly long wait however, we were at our table in about 15 minutes. They have a really nice covered area so that you can wait outside which sprays mist to keep the heat from being unbearable! My biggest complaint with Daily Eats is that the space is very small and we sat in a booth right next to another booth and the guy next to me was literally talking SO loud that I could barely hear myself THINK let alone carry on a conversation with my man. But I digress! Lets move on to the food, shall we? Bill and I both started with a cantaloupe mimosa! I really enjoyed it but, I don't think it was Bill's thing. No fault to Daily Eats he is just not a champagne fan. As for food, I had a omelet made with half egg whites and my choice of vegetables with home fries and it was amazing!! I absolutely loved the potatoes. Sometimes at restaurants the home fries can be very bland and tasteless but not here! I highly recommend them. Bill got the "dan" sandwich and he had no complaints :) We will definitely be back!
(4)Lenore S.
Food was great! Service was great. The wait was ridiculous!! I don't know if I would go back because of the wait and there is no where to wait everyone was just standing outside or where everyone was eating. Parking was also a nightmare.
(4)Joanna C.
I had about 30 minutes before my morning meeting in Tampa. I was STARVING and looking for a great breakfast option that would be filling, healthy, and relatively quick! On to the Daily Eats! I sidled up to the bar, and had a mug of coffee in my hand in no time. I ordered the Raymond - egg whites, spinach, tomatoes, and cheese on toasted multi grain bread. DELICIOUS. I also had a side of fruit to go with! The guy behind the counter was AWESOME. And fun and friendly. I wish I had more time to stay and savor my food, but had to run out pretty quickly. My breakfast was perfect, and I loved the laid back atmosphere of the place!
(5)Jane E.
Breakfast at night! What more can you ask for. Even with that, I ordered other things on the menu. Starting out, tried the Chili Cheese Fries. They were great, but in a pool of cheese not so appetizing. For cheese lovers, they will be in love, but not so much for me. Nonetheless try a small order for around two people. The blackened chicken on the daily special menu was wonderful. It was so spicy, which is what I love. I have never had such a great level of spice other than at a Thai restaurant. I definitely recommend it. The location is great as you can take a seat outside, enjoy the weather and people watch. Will definitely try once again and will have breakfast at night!
(4)Marla T.
Just stumbled across this place. The service was amazing. Very fun atmosphere. Excellent, diverse menu. I'm an eggs Benedict fan and they had many varieties. I had the Broad St. Bully, which was similar to a Philly Steak and Cheese Benedict Style. I had Cheese grits on the side and they were great too. My husband got a breakfast bowl (Steak and Eggs) which he really enjoyed. He ordered a side of Crunchy French Toast (made with Cap'n Crunch) and it was pretty awesome. We'll definitely be going back!
(4)Bibi A.
i went here gasparilla weekend. wait wasn't too bad. service was good. mimosas were awesome! i had an omelet which was good. the french toast is good too.
(4)Chad H.
I let Yelp help me find a place for breakfast while in Tampa and I was not disappointed. Tried the Oreo cookie french toast and the chocolate chip pancakes (yes I eat like a 4 yr old). While I was most looking forward to the french toast I actually liked the chocolate chip pancakes the best. I also tried the fresh squeezed OJ which turned out to be almost $4 - it was good... just not that good For the two of us breakfast ran about $30 which is way to much for breakfast... that being said... our bill could have been much less had we known how to order. The plates were huge and we left about half of our food. If you go as a couple and want the pancakes just split a plate, grab a side of turkey sausage and skip the OJ and go with the coffee which was also delicious - you can easily get out of there for around 15 bucks for two people which isn't too bad. A little loud when we went though thanks to a couple of different screaming children but I won't let that effect my rating since that really isn't anyone's fault I would like to go back to try some of the breakfast bowls. Also should note there was no wait when we got there around 9am on a Saturday but the place started filling up shortly after we got there.
(4)Karen V.
If going for brunch/breakfast, go early. Lines are out the door. Everything on the menu is good - super nice staff and a great neighborhood joint.
(4)Ronnie P.
Loved my Eggs Florentine, fun staff, great food. I love Yelp, found a great local restaurant. Reminded me of Austin, Texas, Maudie's.
(5)Chad U.
For breakfast, Daily Eats seems about a dollar or two overpriced. It's a typical breakfast diner, you'll get a solid meal, decent coffee. Service was good, my coffee cup never got near empty (and I drink a lot of coffee). Unfortunately, my girlfriend's meal was lukewarm. Lukewarm eggs are pretty gross, right? My Carnivore omelet was solid and my grits were pretty yummy. Both of our meals were about $8.50 each. Based on the quality compared to other diners in the area, $7.00 would be more appropriate. Decent enough that I'll go again. Average enough that I won't be rushing there.
(3)Jim B.
So.... Here's the thing about this place. It used to be Jim Strickland's Old meeting house, where Harold would scoop you up a double cone of their home made icecream - something he did when my dad was a kid and was still doing when I was in college.... Sadly, Jim retired and sold the joint to Matthew Hoffman, who decided to 'update' the place and quickly ruined it. Just because your dad is a successful developer, does not mean you have a freaking clue what to do with an institution. Then - while I was out of town at grad school... this new team took over and upped the ante. Well. Yes they did. After months of NOT trying the place (still seething about Old Meeting House) I decided to pop in and give it a shot. The menu is deceptively simple - I went with an angus burger (at my server's suggestion) on a cibiatta roll. Added bleu cheese, red onions and lettuce. Dipped on the fries in favor of a salad. Still expecting fail. I wanted to hate the place. I was wrong. very wrong. The burger was outstanding. Top notch. DELICIOUS. The salad was chopped, with a house vinaigrette that made my taste buds very happy. Well. Here I was all ready to be mean, and the food was so good all I can do is smile and tell you that it took a very long time to eat that gigantic superb burger. Only cons: The open door (yeah, the weather is 'ok' but outside traffic noise is NOT a win, sorry) made the meal a very noisy event, even at 2 pm on a Monday. My server seemed anxious for me to finish (end of shift maybe? that was kind of annoying) and the burger was not pink in the middle like I asked for. Still tasty, but not cooked as directed. With tax and tip, 14 bucks for lunch. Not cheap, but way better than I imagined.
(4)Dana U.
You can call me a breakfast connoisseur. If there is a good breakfast in the city, I will seek it out and destroy my diet. Since discovering all that Soho has to offer, I decided I want to live there. This is one more reason why. I loved this cute little new-aged dinner. The menu was pretty extensive and the food was simply delicious. I couldn't ask for anything more. Oh yeah... and the prices are reasonable. Just to say what I got both times. And by both, I mean that I went there twice in a week because I was so happy the first time. First time I got an omelet loaded with veggies and a side of potatoes. The omelet was fluffy and packed full of veggies. The side of potatoes were "soo good you don't need ketchup." I stole that direct quote from my sister. Second visit, I got the Broad St. Bully Benedict., which is an eggs benedict with hollandaise sauce, shaved sirloin, american cheese, caramelized onions and mushrooms. My sister got the New York Benedict which was an eggs benedict with smoked salmon, chive cream cheese, and hollandaise sauce. Perfecto. The place had a nice crowd around 1-2 pm on a saturday, and I'm sure its even busier earlier in the day on the weekend. Either way, it's worth the wait and the visit. This place has something for everyone, whether your watching your calories, looking for greasy-spoon type food, or just something new. Good for the entire family and has a great outdoor seating area.
(5)Mark S.
I had an informal business breakfast here last week and have to say that the food and service were very good. Since I walk past the place all the time and it's constantly busy I knew there must be something to it. Seeing Nicole's photos of Sunday Brunch made it inevitable I would try the place out anyway. If you've never been, Daily Eats is a diner style place right along S. Howard Avenue with both indoor and outdoor seating. There's a classic counter to sit at - it should remind you of any number of roadside diners.. although a cleaner, friendlier version. I highly recommend getting one of the Breakfast Bowls. You can get omelets anywhere, but my Tijuana Bowl with eggs, salsa and guacamole was unique and about as tasty a breakfast meal as you can find. It's hard to find a place good enough to meet clients or business contacts for breakfast, at least where the average age is under 65. This is definitely the spot.
(4)Steph G.
Great stop for a quick lunch or brunch on the weekends. I love their sweet potato fries drizzled with honey. They're delish!
(4)Collin S.
So when you have to go speak somewhere downtown at 8 am when you're used to rolling out of the rack about 9:30 every morning, the first thing you think is "yikes, that's early and that sucks." But when the second thought is "at least I'll be done in time to get to Daily Eats for breakfast," that should give you some indication of how good this place is. I got the carnivore omelet. I always get the carnivore omelet. Everything else on the menu could be written in sanskrit and it wouldn't make a difference to my dining experience. Ham, sausage, cheese, bacon, and brought to your table quickly always by a waitress that's attentive without being pushy. But what makes it a 5 star experience is the home fries that are marinated in pure joy and love. They are quite amazing, and for some reason much tastier than the ones you get everywhere else on planet earth, and yes I just argued that they they are the world's greatest home fries. Oh, and now they serve Coke Zero. Awesomeness unlocked!
(5)Nick J.
I was in Tampa for the first time in forever this past week, and went to the best place I know for restaurant recomendations...YELP...so this place came up. Off I go placing the address in the GPS..props to this place being on the corner and having ample parking spaces around. I decided to sit outside and enjoy the weather on a cool afternoon. I sat for a bit, until the waitress finally greeted me. I placed my order fairly quickly (a BLT with tater-tots..I LOVE that they even offer tater tots!) The order came out promptly. So everything is going fine right?? Then...BOOM..I don't see the waitress again for like 20 minutes! WTH? All wasn't lost though..she returned finally and apologized for not being attentive..so I wasn't too bent out of shape about it..overall..nice place..reminds me of boutique cafes in NYC..I may return next time I'm in town and try out their breakfast..
(3)Marina S.
Awesome spot! Came here on vacation in Tampa for brunch/lunch with friends. Had the strawberry salad and 3 bean veggie chili. I loved them both. My hubby and friends ordered the pancakes, eggs benedict, and patty melt. Everyone really enjoyed their food and our waitress was awesome! I know where to come for a great breakfast or lunch in Tampa!
(4)Nicole Leigh S.
Last Sunday Scott turned to me and said, "Entertain me, monkey!" No, no, that's a joke, but we did have a little trouble deciding what we wanted to do. Most of our lives together revolve around food. What to eat, where to eat, how long it will take to get to the places we do eat, etc. So I grabbed my Yelp! bookmarks list and started naming breakfast/brunch restaurants I had thought about trying over the two years I've been collecting. We skimmed over a few in Clearwater and St. Pete, but there was a gay pride festival going on which we feared would end up keeping us waiting for hours and hours. Instead we settled on Daily Eats in Tampa. I knew I had never been and Scott thought he hadn't (turns out when we pulled in he realized he had, but oh well). Reviews looked good and it wasn't a huge distance. The place was packed! We chose to sit outside on the island bar facing the street. We started with grapefruit mimosas (decliiiious!!) and each had one of the special breakfast bowls. I with "The Boot": Scrambled eggs with pepperocini, kalamata olives, green peppers, diced tomatoes, and feta cheese on a bed of fresh spinach (pictured first); and Scott with "The Tijuana": Eggs scrambled with vegetable chili, shredded pepperjack and guacamole, served over homefries (pictured second). I have to say I think I preferred his. I added jalapenos to mine, but they were pickled and just didn't have the kick I was looking for. Also, the feta doesn't melt and there was no "sauce", whereas his had the chili, guacamole and cheese. Either way, they were both delicious and we definitely polished them off! I'd go back again and would like to see what the lunch and dinner menus have to offer. It was a great day.
(4)Shellie E.
Our family has eaten here on a Sunday AM and Monday PM. The food is good and consistent, service is quick and efficient, even though they are really busy. I had an omelet that was very tasty on Sunday and a juicy, bison burger on Monday - the sweet potato fries were AWESOME and a nice treat since I do not eat regular fries!
(4)David H.
I've gone here multiple times and the food is aways good but the service can border from bad to full out awful.
(2)Jessika G.
Seriously, best little place to eat in south tampa. It's just a bike ride from us, and we love it. Sometimes I'll just grab a cup of coffee to go, or we will get milkshakes to go; all of the servers are super sweet, and it never takes a long time to get our food. Speaking of the food, just AMAZING. Literally, everything on the menu is awesome. They are very accommodating to my fiancee who is a vegetarian, and we sometimes eat there 3+ times a week.
(5)LC D.
Pretty delicious Waldorf bowl, they ran out of Salmon which was a bummer so make sure to ask before you order. The staff is very friendly as well as the buss boy's. I custom ordered a sandwich at no extra charge.
(4)Cynthia C.
Favorite place for lunch or breakfast! Their shredder bowls rock!
(5)Jason M.
My boyfriend and I went here for a midday breakfast on a Friday- it was busy, but not overcrowded. John was our waiter- attentive and great with recommendations (as well as easy on the eyes). He got the bacon and eggs bowl (which was delicious, and perfect hangover food- eggs, bacon, and cheese served over tater tots). I went with the somewhat healthier egg whites, sausage, and onion served over spinach. I wasn't thrilled with the taste (there just wasn't much taste to be had with the ingredient list), but I put hot sauce on it to add flavor. Don't get me wrong- the bowl was healthy, which I was looking for, and very well put together, but I just had hoped that they'd add something for pizzazz. We also ordered a side of the crunch French toast, and it was great. Some of the best French toast I've ever had- so good, in fact, that I'm going to try and re-create it at home some rainy Sunday. Overall, the place was great, with excellent servers, a full and appetizing menu, and a really good atmosphere. I'd definitely return next time I'm in Tampa.
(4)Elizabeth D.
This place gets really busy on a Sunday morning with hungover South Tampa-ites, so the wait for a table can be long and the service can be verrrry slow, but the menu is creative. I had a small bowl of oatmeal with banana, blueberries, and honeyed pecans and the Lox Breakfast Bowl. I really enjoyed the oatmeal but didn't eat too much of the Lox bowl. It was a little too savory for my taste, and I think the eggs were a bit overcooked. I'd try this place again though and order the coconut crusted French toast.
(3)Christine G.
This place is okay. I would go if someone else I was with really wanted to go but would not go on my own.
(3)Ryan A.
Nothing better than their "Monday Morning"...soooo good. Great menu and caters to the health conscious which I like. It's kind of Tampa's version of a diner. You have to wait a few minutes on weekend mornings as it's full of hungover people...but the wait is not too bad.

THE BEST POTATO CHIP ENCRUSTED TURKEY BURGER ON THE FACE OF THE EARTH! The staff is always great. I have never had anything that I didn't care for here. The patio is a nice place to sit, I prefer it over the inside! Now back to that turkey burger! It is lip smakin, finger lickin, slap your momma good!

Holy Bowly! This is eggsactly the kind of place you want to spend a time like Gasparilla (see what I did there?) If you could have a dream and in that dream you imagine you're on death row and you get one last meal. Well obviously you're going to pick steak, potatoes, and eggs. Well if that happened to you, then you're in luck! Because Daily Eats has just that. The bowls are tremendous whether you get the egg bowls in the morning or the mac n cheese bowls at night. Great combinations, great staff, great atmosphere. All around great place If you're in Tampa and you're near Daily Eats, do yourself a favour and stop in and try it.

Today I'm writing a review to say what an amazing place daily eats it is. Last month was my birthday and one of my friends asked where I wanted to go even though I had a bunch of free dinner options I specifically knew I wanted to go to daily eats no matter what the price because their food is just amazing. As soon as we got there we were greeted by a fairly new employee named KB and as soon as he saw my pin that said it was my birthday he was super nice and warm and friendly and made us feel so welcome and even though he didn't know us he treated us like family. My birthday experience got significantly better when we discovered that our server would be my favorite server, Lauren. I met her about 9 months ago on my first visit to the restaurant and she gave us amazing service and treated me like family as well as anybody else I've ever brought to this restaurant. The food is tasty and the food is so tasty and good. My personal favorite is the Gigante breakfast with banana pancakes and fresh fruit my friends regular favorite is the fiesta cheesy mac and we both love the blueberry mimosas. I write this today as we're getting ready to go in and enjoy another wonderful meal and experience at Daily Eats. If you want great food, fabulous service and just a really awesome experience at a great place that serves breakfast anytime go to Daily Eats!

Food was tasty. Had the potato chip crusted turkey burger and chili. Mom had the giant omelet. Friendly staff and good vibe. Would return when I'm back in Tampa.

Great food, fantastic service, wonderful ambiance. Highly recommended!

I stopped here for lunch yesterday when I was in town for work. I was in the mood for a salad or breakfast food, so I thought it looked liked a good choice because it had good ratings, and was in a cute & also convenient area. It was definitely a modern diner and the menu looked pretty good. However, 3 things bummed me out: 1) They don't serve breakfast items for lunch. In my opinion, if you call yourself a diner, breakfast items should always be available. 2) For all their interesting "bowl" items, none of them were vegetarian. 3) The one salad that caught my attention was almost $11. I think that's a little steep for a lunch salad with no animals in it. That being said, I ended up ordering the veggie burger with tater tots, and it was definitely the best veggie burger AND tater tots I've ever had! If I lived in Tampa, I would probably go back just for that. :)

I was visiting from out of town, and listened to my fellow Yelpers on this one. I'm glad I did. I'm only giving it three stars because the food wasn't knock-your-socks-off amazing, but I really liked the ambiance. It's just a nice place to sit, enjoy your meal, and people watch or chat with a friend. I went there for both breakfast (regular pancakes and eggs) and lunch (burger with really good sweet potato fries drizzled with honey -- some of the best I've tasted, actually). The outdoor seating is a really narrow space, but there were a couple of tables available both times I was there. It's a great place to chill. Overall, I'd visit Daily Eats again if I'm back in town for a decent, casual dining experience.
(3)Pace C.
Service really brought down the stars here. While every server was extremely nice, they fail to take your order in a timely fashion, check up on you, or hand you the bill. Any place where you have to flag down a server is not "great" service. Food is good. French Toast is amazing and makes you want to go back. Veggie Burger is also highly recommended and homemade. It's a cool little place to eat, casual and kind of reminds me of a city diner you would find in the village. I would still revisit, especially for the French Toast.
(3)Andrew K.
Located in Hyde Park, this was a great recommend by the hotel for breakfast. Had the Monday Morning and the wife had The Lox. These were called breakfast bowls where it was like a scramble in a bowl. Mine was very tasty especially with some Cholula. First time customers like us were also getting a free scoop of ice cream. Outside seating is dog friendly as we saw a few locals eating with their dogs.
(4)Lance T.
good breakfast off the plane, smiling faces bring me back to the south. SOHO ok not that kind South Howard. You have to get into this place and get you some breakfast.
(4)Rob L.
Another nice visit, with Robyn as our hostess. She's awesome. My portable lunch mate enjoyed Mac and cheese and I had the mahi mahi sandwich, both were very nice. Why can't all places do it like these folks. Not perfect, no place is, but so good that it's worth the drive from Carrollwood to hang out. See you soon!
(4)Melanie W.
My husband and I have been searching throughout the Tampa Bay area looking for that perfect burger .. I do believe we have a winner ..It was juicy, full of flavor and it was cooked right the first time. Our server Stephanie was also a delight I've never had a manager welcome us like family. I will definitely be going back. Next time I'll try the Gourmet Mac N Cheese :-)
(5)Bobbie K.
This hot spot is always crowded and for good reason. The food is delicious and the portions are generous. This is one of my favorite spots for breakfast. You might have to wait to get seated but once you eat here you'll realize why it's so popular.
(4)Xi M.
Had to wait a bit on Memorial Day, but it was worth it! The cafe latte was out of this world. Brought some friends from out of town and everyone loved it. Even my two little girls ate the whole wheat pancakes! Everyone ordered a different version of the Eggs Benedict and everyone was happy. Make sure to get the bacon and cheese grits! So worth it!
(5)Jenny M.
My husband and I have been here multiple times and trying different things each time. They were all delicious!! Go here people!
(5)Christopher S.
Went for dinner on the advice of a friend. When I saw the following on top of the daily specials, I knew I had to try it. Holidilla - Flour tortilla filled with stuffing, gravy and turkey. Served quesadilla style with a side of cranberry sour cream. And it was excellent. Funky place, in a lightly funky part of town. Wasn't terribly busy so no wait issues, and the wait staff was friendly and quick, contrary to some of the other reviews. Overall, a positive experience made memorable by a nice surprise of a meal.
(4)Melissa M.
I can only comment on breakfast. After a lame dining experience at the Refinery previous night for all of us, I was hoping to make up for it with breakfast. We were extremely happy with our breakfast choices. The fact that there are multiple takes on Eggs Benedict made me very happy. The omelettes were outstanding as well. I highly recommend opting for the cheesy bacon grits!
(4)Keats H.
This place is one of my favorite places to eat in Tampa. Definitely check out one of the breakfast bowls, they are delicious! The crusted waffles are also tasty! Honestly, there isn't anything bad here. This place is great!
(5)Pierre C.
So I'm new to the area and in dire need of a go to brunch place. Nothing worse than an early weekend morning with no place to go... I tried the Gigante and my brunch date had some sort of shredded salad concoction... The Gigante was what I had to order (no fancy egg white, guacamole, pan steamed breakfast for me) two eggs, two strips of bacon, two pieces of toast, home fries and a short stack of pancakes. The eggs were good and the bacon was tasty, although I think for the $9-10 I payed for it I'd like to have 3-4 strips of bacon. Pancakes were actually spectacular so all in all I was pretty content with the meal. The salad was good, nice combo of flavors although could have used a bit more focus... Will go again, bit not ready to call this my go to place yet.
(4)John B.
After reading the reviews, I decided to stop in for a late breakfast. After finding them by searching for "breakfast" and seeing mentions of breakfast and brunch, I was disappointed to find that they had already stopped serving breakfast when I arrived around 11:00am. Fortunately, their 2-egg sandwich is served all day, so that's what I ordered. The sandwich was excellent, and I could see myself eating here again. I do agree with some of the other reviewers though. This is a small place, and it can get busy and crowded very fast. I'm not sure that I'd wait very long to eat here.
(3)S H.
Yum! The food is fantastic. I dont remember what it is called, but I got the eggs on a bagel with lox on top. Huge portions, beyond friendly service, and they were more than accomodating when we came in with a high chair needing baby. They even gave us a free cookie, just because. Reasonable prices, great atmosphere, creative and tasty food... its no wonder this place is famous.
(5)Cris C.
Had the eggs benedict bowl and the crunchy French toast which is made with captain crunch cereal. Odd but tasted fantastic ...and not too sweet. Will visit here next time I'm in town
(4)Courtney R.
I LOVE Daily Eats! Since breakfast is my favorite thing in the world I have only ordered things off the breakfast menu, but the lunch food looks awesome too (one day I will try the lunch menu, but for now I just can't resist their b-fast food) .....ANYWAYS! I haven't had anything at DE that I didn't love. Some things I have had the pleasure of tasting and would recommend.... - Whole wheat pancakes: delicious. Better than your average pancake. Has a distinct flavor and texture exclusive to DE and the hint of cinnamon really makes them tasty. I get at least 1 EVERY time I eat here. - Captain crunch french toast: I'm a team pancake person so given the choice between Ftoast and Pcakes I will always go with the cakes HOWEVER, this was the best french toast I have ever had in my life. Its like a desert. Reminds me of funnel cake. Just try it. - Oatmeal: the oatmeal is steel cut oats and made with just water so its actually good for you unlike some places that taint the seemingly healthy choice with sugars, butter, and full fat dairy. I loved it. - Omelets: Again these are another fantastic choice. Can't go wrong here. - Scrambled egg whites: they don't skimp out on the portion, which can sometimes happen when ordering egg whites. - Wheat toast: Better than your average slice of bread like at some places. Quality stuff. the only things that could be improved are: - The coffee: nothing special - The b-fast bowls: Every time someone in our party orders one it is disappointing. The portion of food is small and they seem thrown together...but not in a good way, in a hurried routine way. Personally I think they are a bit of a rip off, which leads to... - The prices: sometimes I want to mix and match to try new things and that will cost a fortune here. Add ons can also add up quickly. Great food and atmosphere. The people that work there really care about preserving the stellar reputation. Overall solid place.

Unremarkable food. Long wait for food( more than 20 minutes). Bad service.
(2)Astrid W.
We were referred here from anyone and everyone in the area about good diner breakfasts. Every place I've ever been the first thing that happens when you sit down is that magical coffee that you didn't make at home. That coffee that starts everything- after 15 minutes of sitting at a booth right next to the exit from the kitchen and getting ready to leave, the coffee finally came. We watched 8 people behind the counter ignore us the entire time waiting for that wonderful morning coffee. Breakfast was OK, nothing to roll over and die for and the whole "bowl" feeding that's being done has to stop, or just put the contents between a couple of slices of bread and make a breakfast sandwich. Cereal goes in a bowl, soup goes in a bowl..etc. Service was eh. Not going back, it's a cute little place but the food isn't enough to bring me back.
(1)Larry J.
Gotta love the fresh food and lovely service. I like the different breakfast bowls.
(5)Lauren L.
I came in on my lunch break as I did not have much time or money to spare. I ordered the French Toast and the waitress asked "Capt'n Krunch style or plain?" To my surprise they have regular french toast with mixed in Capt'n Krunch cereal. This combination of awesomeness adds a crunchy texture to the already perfectly mixed french toast batter. I would recommend anyone with a sweet tooth try this. Service was quick, friendly, and affordable. Just pop up on the stool at the counter and watch the magic in the kitchen happen!
(4)C K.
I liked the concept, and my co-diners really enjoyed, but I just ordered the wrong stuff, cause I couldn't finish anything other than my milkshake (worth a trip just for those, however). My bbq turkey sandwich was way too spicy and my salad was way too sad - limp lettuce drowning in over vinegary dressing. I would go back for a second try, however, because I thought the menu was promising.
(3)Alex Z.
This place is exactly what I want a breakfast place to be: staffed by friendly people who pour you coffee really quickly; offering a vast array of not only the sweet and savory breakfast options, but also sweet/savory combinations (my favorite is the Dougie, which features both pancakes and eggs-n-sausage);is reasonably priced; has free wi-fi; and is in my neighborhood. It gets crowded here, but that's the price you pay.
(4)James H.
my review stays the same, just want to point out that the awesome veggie burger is not available on the weekend brunch menu. i went there the other weekend craving it bad and found out they didn't have it. bummer cause it's good. i ended up with a bowl of chili and a plate of fries. definitely a worthy substitute, but don't want anyone to be led astray. also, we went on a beautiful, spring tampa morning and sat outside. copious outdoor seating is another plus for this place.
(3)Jeff P.
We were in Tampa for my Aunt and Uncle's 60th wedding anniversary and needed a good breakfast place on Sunday. We found this on Yelp and were very impressed. Absolutely delicious food, friendly service and traditional diner atmosphere. We went early and had no wait.
(5)Heidi G.
Take this eatery for exactly what it is: small, and therefore expect a wait during busy hours, but those who love a creative but simple menu will really appreciate Daily Eats for just that: daily eats. Feel at home, have a scoop of French Toast ice cream after a somewhat educated version of the Gyro, and then come back to this tiny place for something completely different, like Baja Mac and Cheese with sweet potato fries and a creamy chai. Just cool. :)
(4)Gabryanna J.
The Mexican omelet was awesome! A friend and I shared it with the potatoes and left happy. Seating was right away and loved that we could sit outside. Mimosas were a bit pricey for brunch but the blueberry was different and good.
(4)Luke H.
The Only Place to Have the Brunch of Shame. Where good looking patrons and staff meet over healthy dishes. Go just before 11:30am so you can order full breakfast, and then put in a sweet potato fries order at 11:30am. Sit at the bar or wait in line. Newspaper stand available.
(5)Ray m.
I only had the sundaes here and I'll be coming back for more! the dutch chocolate with vanilla bean was to die for. also the price is right, a little over $3 for 2 large scoops toppings. seating is a little tight but there are fans outside that'll help keep you cool. waitstaff was attentive and polite.
(5)Christine B.
This place was okay, nothing amazing though. I had the coconut crusted french toast based on a recommendation here on Yelp. It was good, but again, nothing particularly spectacular. I gave this place three stars since nothing really wowed me, but I almost gave it two based purely on the appalling poached eggs on their eggs benedict. I'm an eggs benedict fan, I usually order it, but I'm glad I went with the french toast this time. The menu has 5 or 6 different types of eggs benedict so you'd think they'd be pretty good--not so. Two others in my party ordered different versions and both received the worst poached eggs I've ever seen in a restaurant. They looked like they had been cooked in molds (red flag number one) and when cut into they were completely overcooked! No runny yolk at all--on either plate of eggs benedict. One of the eggs benedicts that we ordered was a chicken and mushroom version that was quite good if you completely ignored the overcooked eggs. The other version was the florentine, which really needed the runny egg yolk to complete the flavor. But seriously, it's not that hard to poach an egg properly once you've got the hang of it--any restaurant chef should be capable of it and if your chefs can't poach eggs well, then you probably shouldn't even offer eggs benedict on your menu. Just a thought.
(3)David F.
Pretty decent diner food from the Ciccio and Tony's peeps. Good fish sandwiches, good BLT's, good soup, really tasty fries and average service. Unfortunately the place is super loud, which would be alright if it weren't so cramped. There are better greasy spoon's out there.
(3)Alldaron K.
Good food, but way too much. I've never finished one of their breakfasts.
(4)Matt S.
Very average in my opinion. Food is decent, but the service can be very slow. Location is great, but that creates long lines of hungover people on weekend mornings. Many other choices for breakfast in the area without the wait. I've never eaten there any other time of day besides for breakfast so I wouldn't know how their other food stacks up.
(3)Marcos O.
Nice location, but their food really is not up to par. They need to work on their ingredients or something. Your better off going next door to The Lime
(2)Gertie O.
I've been to Daily Eats several times but haven't in back awhile... I like the open, diner like feeling of the place and the 'bowls' are good but the staff can be aloof and the food seems slapped together. A little tweaking and it would be a better experience-- better service, deep clean the floors under the booths and put a little more care into making the food.
(2)Brad K.
My favorite breakfast place in Tampa. Casual diner atmosphere with really good food. Their French Toast is thick cut and outstanding. Eggs Benedict is available in multiple variations and is simply awesome. So many interesting menu items to choose from, it never gets old.
(5)Ryan B.
The food is still as good as usual, but the service is spotty at best these days. Had to track down wait staff to give our order. Got food and one of us had missing parts to his breakfast. I love coming here, but no that it's best to come during the week for breakfast.
(3)Anish Z.
Was looking for a good brunch spot and it this fits the bill. Try the coconut crusted French toast. We had the Tijuana bowl overflowing with eggs home fries and guauc. Wait time was misquoted but I think one of the servers were trying to help and underestimated the time. Cute hostess made it easier to bear. I hadn't drank the night before but it was obvious there were lots of other trying to fix a hangover with a mimosa and it seemed to have worked
(4)Jason R.
It's an upscale breakfast joint with decent food. With that said, it's not worth an hour's wait.
(3)jennifer b.
Inventive menu and fresh tasting ingredients. That's the best I can say. Anytime you'd be likely to want to eat there, it is likely to be packed. usually that's a good sign but in this tiny diner it is not. They are really not set up or capable of handling the large crowds that come in there. It's far too crowded and noisy, and wait staff is too busy to be as attentive as is needed. My husband ordered the Tijuana bowl and as it is full of spiciness his drinking glass should have been a priority, but it stayed empty a long time, more than once. I couldn't fault the waitress too much, she was obviously very busy, but they obviously need more waitstaff at that restaurant. The food didn't take too long and it tasted pretty good. However I was SHOCKED at some of the prices I saw when our check came. $4.50 for two soda's (especially bothersome because our glass was empty and stayed that way so often.) $1.00 dollar extra for a TINY cup of hollandaise (usually when you order something like that the waitress would tell you there is a dollar upcharge but I didn't find out until our check came). There were a few more extra charges on our bill that didn't please me at all. Not to mention 8.50 for an omelette was pushing it a little in the first place. The taste of the food gets an A+ but the atmosphere, service, and prices get a D at best.
(2)Josh M.
Just an overall awesome experiance. The interior takes you back a few decades. The staff is beyond friendly. Food is awesome. Everything is healthy which is rare to find. Try any of their Sheredder Bowls for lunch. Becareful during lunch time because it gets pretty bonkers in there. People love it that much. It is easy to pass by on the outside but stop by, you won't be dissapointed.
(5)Karri H.
Love this place! I dream of the Tater hater when I have had one too many! I unfortunately moved a little farther away so its only a treat when I get to eat here but I tell everyone about it! I crush a little on one of the cooks too so that helps LOL
(5)Micah M.
Very good food. Their mac and cheese is pretty damn tasty. They also have a great grilled cheese.
(4)Mandie E.
The food is awesome. My husband and I love the breakfast bowls. Took off two stars for the wait and the slow service.
(3)Justin R.
I had the coconut covered french toast, with the coconut honey cream cheese. It was pretty awesome. They seemed busy but the service was prompt, and I didn't see any ridiculous line waiting like I would a t breakfast spots in Chicago... Food was plated well, and the portions were right on. The only thing I didn't like was the turkey sausage was tiny, but its only a minor err. Everything was not too terribly expensive either.My girlfriend ordered the Tijuana Breakfast Bowl, and said it was pretty awesome too. Outside seating was comfortable. Definitely recommended for breakfast.
(4)Bizz M.
Good spot. We were seated quickly and I had an OJ in my hand in a minute. I had the coconut french toast. Excellent. The fried pickles were also pretty perfect. Its in nice area of Tampa so it was decent people watching as well. We were in and out so there isn't to much i can say but i would visit it again.
(4)Ashley A.
Good breakfast. Unfortunately their espresso machine was broken when we stopped here, but they waitress offered to make me an iced coffee which wasn't bad. The coconut french toast was yummy. I got an omelet that was great, it was oozing with cheese and and totally what I needed after a long night.
(4)Henry P.
A favorite place for a quick lunch or dinner. The shredder bowls are amazing, although I found the buffalo chicken a bit too spicy. The Working Cow ice cream is a guilty pleasure after a great meal.
(4)Anna C.
Let me start by saying I love diners! I went here on a Saturday afternoon hoping to get a nice breakfast. They have 2 different menus. One said breakfast available after 4 p.m., but the waiter said I couldn't get breakfast after 3 p.m. The place is small, and there were no tables available so we sat at the bar. I went to wash my hands the was the no soap! (The hostess just left the restroom right before I went in). I ordered the california rice bowl and my bf order a burger. Since we sat at the bar, I could see everything going on in the kitchen. My food was ready at least 5-8 minutes before his and I saw it just sitting there in the window. From the bar, I could also see that the french fries sit in a bowl and aren't fresh. The waiters just grab a handful and through it on your plate. They did use tongs. My food was bland and was room temp, which made it worse. There were flies buzzing around which was annoying. I ended up not eating my meal and another waiter heard us talking and took it. She was very nice and took it off the bill without me asking (even offered ice cream), but our original waiter sat a few seats down counting his money. Another set of waiters were on the other side of us talking about some lady's miscarriage and her "uterus." Seriously? I'm eating (or in my case not eating here!) We were never offered refills. My boyfriend said he liked his meal, but his burger was pink in the middle. He spent $14 on a burger and fries that I thought would have been just as good as going to Steak N Shake. NOT RETURNING!!!
(1)Jill G.
Love their creative menu as well as the fact that we can usually get some vegan and tasty and relatively nutritious. Been here many times over the years, and it continues to be a family favorite. Downside? I agree service can be spotty.
(4)Michael B.
And the S. Howard restaurant marathon continues. I've decided that S. Howard must be Tampa's restaurant mecca. My coworkers ran into my office the other day and said "Michael, we have a new place for you to Yelp!" As I do enjoy a meal that involves a yelp to follow, I was more than happy to try it with them the next day. Daily Eats is a cute little diner, with a healthier flare and a cleaner interior. The girls made sure to point out that the bar seats have a purse hook at each seat. The menu is an interesting mix of burgers and sandwiches with some unconventional toppings. You could literally come here for lunch or dinner for a week and still try something new. They have a ridiculous amount of toppings to choose from, too (goat cheese being one of my favorites). Among the beaucoup of unique sandwiches, there is an interesting mix of salads called "Salad Shredder Bowls". They have a crazy mix of lettuce, rice, and proteins. My friend had one and said it was delicious. Another friend ordered the fried zucchini which, as a zucchini hater...even I enjoyed them. One area where they might need a touch more improvement is in the speed of service. Speed is something that is a little more situational...our group is always in a hurry, so we might have a skewed view as to what is slow. Otherwise, our waitress was as sweet as can be. Now, we went here for dinner and will probably go back for lunch. Their breakfast, however, looks crazy good and I would say "Check it out, yo" for brunch. Tampa...my dear...your restaurants are impressing me, and I haven't a clue how to react! Brava...Brava.
(4)David S.
Shredders are fantastic. Spinach salad w freshly waiters mushrooms too!
(4)Audrey B.
Okay, so I'm in Tampa at the moment and need to comment on this AWSOME eatery! I went here for Sunday Brunch and it ROCKED my world! I started with a nice cup of joe. Nothing to brag about, but not bad, either. I was kind of a coffee snob, pre-tea drinking, so it's possible my taste buds were off about the coffee... Anyway, I ordered an egg omelette bowl. It had egg whites, turkey sausage, provolone cheese and was served on a warm bed of spinach in a big ol' bowl! It really was Delish, so I need to share! :) I also split a coconut crusted french toast with coconut honey cream cheese. Yeah, you read that right...yummy coconuts!!! It was pretty crazy...I don't normally eat frech toast, but HELLOOOO, this was AMAZING!!! People don't seem to Yelp much in Tampa, but I am really glad that someone already reviewed this place. Hooray for their breakfast!!!
(4)Grant M.
Good greasy spoon food, decent prices, horrible service. I've eaten here maybe a dozen time in the last six months and each time I say "Never Again" because the service is so lousy. I know it's a small place, but there's no reason to wait 10 minutes every time just to be seated. They're not THAT busy. If the service was just a touch better I'd probably never even notice it was bad simply because the food is good. Also, the place keeps goofy hours.
(2)Greg h.
the only thing I enjoyed was the old diner type environment on the inside, the food quality was not that good and the portion size for the price you pay was ridiculous.
(2)RD E.
best breakfast in T-town
(5)Ricardo M.
Food here is great. But the wait on Sundays is very long.
(5)Talisha M.
Busy place with amazingly simple breakfast thats really really good. They have outdoor seating so you can bring your dog...yay! And they have heat lamps so seating out in the cold w/the dog isn't bad at all! The staff is soooo friendly. I also had the Monday Morning which is egg whites w/turkey sausage & onions on a layer of cheese and fresh spinach. I tried the blueberry pancakes...helllooooooo yummy cakes! Wished I had ordered my own. The blueberries were cooked inside this wheat of heavenly goodness. And the cafe con leche...buenisimo! And they only charge $1 to refill it instead of charging for a whole new drink! Everything is inexpensive. I may be hard to please but a place w/great service, tasty food, & $1 refills get my wooo hoo as good as it gets!
(5)Yvonne B.
This little diner style joint is one of my favorite places to grab lunch! Their Natural Grilled Chicken sandwich is mouth watering! The chicken is seasoned perfectly and juicy every single time. Paired with melted provolone on a toasted cibatta roll served with a side of goat cheese marinara sauce for dipping, it is the perfect day time indulgence. I recommend the fried zucchini spears, too. The batter is light and slightly sweet.
(4)Claire L.
I love to eat out for breakfast. I highly recommend something from the staff favorites menu - unique blends of foods that end up being great. They have done a good job of fusing your basic diner food with a twist. It is for sure a local fav.
(4)YloDuc E.
There were so many things on the menu I wanted to try! I'll have to try next time we're down in the area. The variations on the Eggs benedict were tempting, but the Capt'n Crunch French Toast really caught my fancy. Although I couldn't taste that much of the cereal, the foundation [the bread- I'm guesing a brioche??] was awesome.
(4)Alli J.
Deeeellliiigghhhtttffullllll! Not a Tampa native, so I have to admit that I couldn't be more pleased with this cute little diner. I'll break it down and make it real simple like so you can decide for yourself whether or not to go. BUT if you want to take the easy road stop reading this review and hustle your sweet lil self down there. + Healthy food! Woo, they have these shredder bowls with brown rice and all that California health freak goodness. + DELICIOUS FOOD! mMMmMm ( even though everyone I was wish was convined I had a stink face, the food was really good-- I was just tired and sans make-up, thank you very much) + It smells like breakfast ( yuuummmmm) + There is a line to get in-- always a good sign bc it means that people want to eat there and are willing to wait. + Cute booths + The owner schmoozes around, another good sign. + Outdoor seating + They serve chocolate milk..MmMmmm I had the two egg and cheese sandwhich-- they had just finished serving breakfast by the time I could get my over-served self over. Boo. So good... add a side of fruit and VOILA, one happy camper. - It's in Tampa... so there's a 2% chance that I'll ever return - Everyone goes there so there's a tad of a wait - They serve ice cream and many other goodies so it's hard to walk away without over indulging. Oh another + The coffee mugs have their name on it...cute.
(5)Todd S.
I have eaten here a few times in the past couple months at the recommendation of a colleague. I am not exaggerating when I tell you that everything I have ordered off the menu has been absolutely outstanding. The crunchy french toast keeps me coming back. Last time I was there, I had the cali shredder bowl. The serving size was huge. I wasn't even in the mood for breakfast, but I had to order a side of french toast. I have sat outside the past couple times I have been there and have been served by Lori both times. She is extremely friendly, and has a great attitude. I will more than likely request to be seated in her section from now on, although I have never had bad service from anyone in this establishment. The food and the staff have made me a long time patron of this place. Oh love that they serve beer too! And the lady loves the mimosas (is there even any OJ in those things?!)

Stopped in here looking for a great breakfast and ended up going twice while in town. Had The Gigante, eggs cooked perfectly, awesome whole wheat pancakes and very filling. Staff was very friendly. Definitely will check out their other restaurants when I'm back.

Great food!!!! We went for breakfast and I was choosing between the Gigante and the Healthy DL. Believe it or not, I chose the healthy and was EXTREMELY satisfied. The oatmeal was perfect, not too sweet, just perfect. My wife had the whole wheat blueberry pancakes and they were great as well. Highly recommend me for breakfast. Will have to try lunch and dinner.

Good reviews sent us to Daily Eats for a Sunday morning breakfast. I'm always willing to give a place a break as everyone has an off day. I hope this was theirs. Service was good and the outside seating under the awning was nice (especially with the mister fans keeping us cool). Unfortunately, the food took forever: about 40 minutes for an eggs benedict and a short stack. When the benedict came the hollandaise had been poured on top despite our request to have it on side. Pancakes They had a nice consistency. My wife had plain and enjoyed hers; I had mine with banana and peanut butter chips. It was good, but at .50 a topping i would have liked more than 3 small slices of banana and a tiny droplet of peanut butter. Benedict with Shaved NY Strip (don't recall name) One might expect a home cook to use some sort of pod for poaching eggs, but not at a restaurant. If you do want to use a container to poach, don't over grease it. The nice thing about poached eggs is the cleanness of the egg flavor. These were so oily that I couldn't even taste the egg. The were also so overcooked that you could cut through the yolk. Not ok, but I was not in the mood to send it back. The steak on top was ok, but completely underseasoned and also greasy beyond belief. Hollandaise was good, warm and seemingly very fresh. Grits We ordered them with bacon and cheese. Easily the best thing on the table. Nicely done. Breakfast left both my wife and I feeling gross; chill out with the oil guys.

Just recently stopped in for my 3rd visit, and thought I'd better write this before I forget the whole experience, like I did the 1st two times. I had an omelet, and my love had a BLTA (avocado). Add a Coke and an orange juice and our bill came to about $25. I don't remember what we got here before, which means it didn't stand out. If we had hated it or loved it I could tell you now what was eaten. It's not that anything was bad, the omelet was OK, but I guess it's just a touch bland. I think I'll try them again and get one of the bowls I see everyone raving about. But if it's just more of the same there are too many other great places in the area.

Daily Eats is a pretty great place to grab some brunch. Every time I stop by I'm not disappointed. I can also bring my doggie without any issue. The staff are friendly and do a fairly good job explaining the menu. I've had a couple of their bowls (lox and Mexican), which I really liked. This last visit I had the patty melt which was super mouthwatering. It was cheesy and well balanced. I highly recommend it! The prices are okay, not real cheap, not super expensive. I think the quality of the food correlates with the price well enough. I will be making more trips to this place in the near future.

Had a very good experience for brunch at daily eats. A little bit of a wait on the weekends 15-30 mins but not too bad. Our waitress was very pleasant and greeted us immediately. Because the place is quite small noise was a little bit of a issue when it came time to order. I decided on the strawberry French toast, home fries, and a coffee. My order the nacho bowl and a blue berry pancake. All were delicious . I'm not a big fan of French toast but these were exceptionally good. Home fries were just regular potatoes, and the coffee was ok but comes in a Cute cup. Pancakes just ok and nacho bowl was a hit. I recommend daily eats and will return for another weekend brunch
(4)Sara J.
First time. There was a wait but thankfully just 15 minutes. Sat in my car and waited not so patiently... What! I was hungry..... Small place inside. Everyone is real nice. Fast paced. Our server was Jay. Very nice. Took our order and we had our food in 10 minutes! That was much appreciated! I had the Mexican omelette. He had the Greek omelette. Both were very good. The house fries on the other hand, I didn't like.... Needs onions or something......too mushy. Table was small and wobbly. Had a big bin of creamer and jam.... Overall, great food and good service! Lots more stuff I need to try! We will be bacccck!
(4)Jennifer B.
Try the Captain Crunch French Toast!! So worth it! Deliciousness!! the prices were a tad bit much.. And not a lot of combos or specials. I Would definitely go back. CON: outdoor seating ridiculously cramped, inside is really small. BTW saw John Cena (WWE Celeb)
(4)Zao Z.
This is a soho take on diners. It's like every other restaurant owned Ciccios, very commercialized, above average but nothing special. The food is consistently good but nothing to rave about. They have your typical diner food like burgers and breakfast food. Being owned by Ciccios, they also have bowls. The prices are reasonable The decor is clean and diner like. Service is on point.
(4)Kelly S.
One word, AMAZING! My family and I will definitely be back! The service was great, and the food was delicious! Not at all what we expected in a good way. We ordered the Capt Crunch French toast as an appetizer and it was a huge hit! No butter or syrup needed.
(5)CJ V.
The place has a nice kitsch appeal. Can get a little loud, and if children aren't your scene beware cause there will probably be at least one family with a screaming child. So if you're a family you'll enjoy the charm. A little inconsistent with the food. Service is where its weakest. Went in for a late lunch and it wasn't crowded. Order drinks that took over 15 minutes to get and the meal came out with the appetizer. Milk shake was very good. Get servers that are aware of what's going on and a little more consistency with the food and you'll get more stars. Also the waitress dress as like young girls working a car wash fund raiser for their school.
(1)Ed S.
While Tampa has a strong Deli scene, the diner offerings are pretty lackluster. Daily Eats is a standout exception. This is a neighborhood favorite, always crowded, serving diner faves, and some more modern stuff too. Burgers are great but too salty. Friendly service.
(4)Jimmy D.
It's a cool place to eat. The menu is spunky and so is the staff. It's set up like a diner you would see in movie. I've eaten here many times. Mainly due to me living across the street. The food is alright, can be little pricey. Now I normally get what I know. I love Benedicts. I get the New Yorker there, it's basically a salmon Benedict. I have lately been getting it to go, there is usually a wait. The Benedict is nowhere close to being my favorite in town, but the connivence gets my business. The service is always great! My Togo orders are usually ready in 10 minutes. They also try to accommodate you anyway possible. I love blueberries and I mentioned I didn't like any of their shake options, but then she mentioned shakes they could do. She had me at blueberry.
(3)Susanne H.
This is cute little breakfast place. We got there early enough that we didn't have to wait. A good tip to know is that they cannot seat large parties. We had 7 of us and we had to squeeze into the booth. The menu is full of a bunch of items that I haven't seen before (captain crunch encrusted waffles anyone?) I ordered the gignate which was two eggs, bacon, pancakes and home fries. I was expecting a large meal, I was disappointed to see that it was a very small meal. The home fries were amazing, eggs were runny but tasted fine, the pancake (singular because I had to give my son one of mine because his portion was also tiny) was good, but nothing to write home about. My husband got the jersey shore which is an angus burger, cream cheese, bacon,onion and an egg on everything bagel. He enjoyed it. Overall, this is a cute place that has some great menu items, but the portions are very small.
(3)Zubin K.
Came here for the first time. We were seated quickly and I ordered the half sized Thai Peanut Shredder Bowl. While the food tasted pretty good, it wasn't warm and I did not taste too much of the peanut sauce. Also, there wasn't as much rice as you would typically expect from a bowl. My friend ordered the Greek bowl and hers tasted better. We did order the Daily Fries which were excellent in taste, crispness and quality. Overall, a pretty good experience but could be even better.
(4)Mallory W.
Awesome spot for healthy (or rich and decadent if healthy isn't your thing!) breakfast, lunch and dinner on S. Howard On weekends, be prepared to wait. Especially for breakfast-lunch hours. This place gets busy and it isn't huge.. However, they have outdoor seating that helps with accommodating the weekend crowd. They serve breakfast all day and have anything your heart desires: classic egg, bacon, sausage type dishes, pancakes, and french toast, as well as the standard CRG "bowl" dish.. For breakfast, Daily Eats has several different scrambles in bowls (my fav. is the Tijuana - scrambled eggs topped with vegetable chili, shredded jalapeño jack cheese, tomatoes and guac on top of home fries. YES. The breakfast nachos are also AMAZING and my go-to if I plan to do nothing else on my Sunday after brunch. At the lunch hour, in addition to the breakfast items, they also serve some awesome sandwiches and burgers, and bowls with different proteins over rice and lettuce. For dinner, they have everything I already mentioned, PLUS some delicious mac n cheese dishes (5 different choices, to be exact. My fav is the buffalo mac n cheese) Don't forget to save room for a shake .... If only they still had their ice cream set-up, this place would be my #1 restaurant in town (the french toast Ice cream was a spiritual experience)
(5)Karen R.
First time to Daily Eats while visiting Tampa. There was a 20-30 minute wait, but it was midday on Saturday, so that was expected. The seating went fairly quickly actually. We were sat outside and it was a covered area. Service was good, the server was very friendly and knowledgeable. We ordered drinks, and my Bloody Mary was perfectly spicey! The food was spectacular. 2 of us ordered the French toast bowl, which had scrambled eggs and french toast, and we opted the the Capt. Crunch French toast, which was Amazing! The other got the steak and eggs bowl and he loved it. He actually ended up getting an order of the Capt. Crunch French toast because he tried a bite of ours and couldn't resist! Definitely should visit this place if you're in the area. I'm excited to try out the lunch bowls in the future!
(5)Thuyen B.
Great diner! We sat outside which wasn't too bad during the night. People watching is always fun. And duh! I just realized this is part of the Ciccio Restaurant Group. The menu did have a Ciccio Cali feel lol. Lots of menu options to please everyone here. AND they serve breakfast all day- win! I had the Thai peanut shredder bowl w/ shredded chicken and spinach. I was trying to be good, but that Crunchy French Toast was calling me...I might have to go back there and make someone order it so I can have a bite. Or two. My shredder bowl was fantastic! Huge serving and every bite was bursting with flavor. I like how you are able to customize the bowls to your liking (brown rice/quinoa, lettuce/spinach, choice of protein). Everyone else enjoyed their meals as well. Potato crusted turkey burger- will have to try soon. Service was great, no complaints there. Now if they could open a spot in St Pete...preferably off 4th St...that would be awesome! ;)
(4)Jean K.
So many choices. The Daily Eats menu includes breakfast anytime, plus lunch and dinner. There are several cheesy macs, burgers, a dozen or so each of shredder bowl choices and house specialties, and of course, big salads. The options are almost endless since there are additional choices with so many of the menu items. Even gluten free and vegetarian options so everyone can find something they like. With the chopped salad, you can add goat cheese, bleu cheese crumbles, substitute spinach for Romaine, and/or add shredded turkey, pork or chicken. With the strawberry salad, you can add angus or turkey burger, fried or grilled natural chicken breast, shredded NY strip, or add bison or ahi tuna. The strawberry salad with Romaine, candied pecans, and bleu cheese crumbles with strawberry vinaigrette was amazing. Both the bison and ahi tuna add-ons sounded tasty but I opted for the sushi grade ahi tuna. Delicious. Everything was super fresh: red, ripe, juicy strawberries, crisp romaine, crunchy pecans, and perfectly cooked ahi tuna. Bangin. Great location right on the corner of S Howard and W Bristol with free parking across the street. Definitely on my list of go-to places if I'm in the area.
(4)Ali C.
I can't wait for the St Pete location to open . . . oh my . . . classic comfort / diner food done right with a couple of twists. I wanted to try so many things, decisions decisions. Between 5 of us we tried lots of the menu and nothing disappointed. The service was fine. It is not a large place so the wait can be long. Lots of two tops and probably nothing larger than for a group of 5-6. Enjoy!!
(4)Karen K.
Today was the first time we were ever at Daily Eats. It was very enjoyable. It's a pleasant restaurant. The hostess and our waitress were both helpful and cheerful. Both me and my husband ordered the same meal, Crunchy French Toast. It was delicious. Soft, thick slices and sweet - especially with the powdering of confectionary sugar - with that extra crunch that comes from the bread being rolled in crushed Cap'n Crunch cereal. It's a little too far from us for just a casual drop-in, but I would definitely go again.
(4)Sundi P.
We stopped here after an interview I had downtown. I wanted French Toast and this place did not disappoint. The Captain Crunch French Toast was yummy and crunchy. The place is very cute and was very busy the entire time we were there. We will definitely be back and I don't think I'll be able to try anything else. :)
(5)Chachi B.
I'll go to Daily Eats any time of Day or Night. Today I was Greeted by Travis. He's friendly and very professional. After 2pm is my Favorite Time of the Day to go. The 2-7pm Specials Are A Must Do. Great Music from 60s to 80s. Great Variety of Tunes. Everybody has that "Feeling Good Vive". There's always something. That will do it for me here. Their Coffee is Served Fresh, right temp. and Best of All with A Smile. Their Staff works hard to Satisfy you. And, boy are they busy. Takes very dedicated people, with decorum and Great People Skills. to have the "Patience" when time is limited to talk and listen to the customer. They have excellent professional etiquette. Even when having to take extra time. Answering questions. Making Suggestions for Subtracting or Adding Items to Customize your selections. And Meet Your Needs and or Wants. NOW THATS Class. And, in my observation. Experience, Good Training. And Yes, Teamwork. Today, Bianca was our Server. She was remarkable, "Can't Believe She Remembered" How I ordered My Custom Prepared Lox Bowl. She takes the Credit for her assistance w/the Choices of Ingredients. I am not able to eat Gluten or Lactose. My Lox Bowl, was another Hit:-) it Consisted of Lox, this time I chose X-Tra Lox. Wanted more Protein Power,Moist Fresh Scrambled Eggs, Brown Rice, Fresh Spinach( Was Savory, Perfect) WOW! And of Course Capers. Just the right amount. Today Will and his Crew. Where really rocking in that Open Kitchen. Started my meal with their OMG. Traditional Mimosa. 2$ from 2-7pm Everyday. Can't go wrong with that. And, needed to stay on the Cool Side. Hey, it's Summer in Fl. Ice Tea. Chills things Down. Their Portions are generous. It's what I call Comfort Food. Glad I opted for the Big Bowl. It's great taking a Favorite Food Home. Puts a Big Yay, tomorrow on my Day.

After our pre-picked out place was closed on Mondays we decided on our second choice thanks to Yelp. Daily Eats fed us well and was easy on the wallet. I had the famous Cap'n Crunch french toast. While I could clearly see it crushed and coated on the outside of the massive stack of bread, I did not add much noticeable flavor to it which left me a little disappointed. I was between the toast and a pancake so now I'll have to switch it up when I come back. Serving was huge so if you're hungry this will cure you. Guy had one of the breakfast bowls. He had the lox bowl that comes with eggs, chives, smoked salmon and more including a tasty chive sauce on the side. The best part was tots on the bottom of the bowl to add crunchiness to your bites. Yum! He was very pleased with his choice. Servers were busy at the late breakfast/ lunch rush so I don't hold that against them. Seating outside was tight but still enjoyable. We'd come back again.
(3)Tricia T.
Finally ate here and will definitely be back!! Food- potato chip crusted turkey burger. Yes, please! The bun was a little disproportioned to the patty, but regardless- it was good. Went during the week so no wait for a late lunch, but it's a small place so I can see the wait being long on the weekends. I'm honestly between a 3 1/2 and a 4. It's a diner so you get just that. I'd say it's a classed-up diner though. Service - meh. This is the 3 1/2 star part. For being not very busy, it took an awful long time for drink refills and napkins. I'll be back though! Love the group that this restaurant is a part of. Can't go wrong.
(4)LeeAnna P.
I've been here maybe 6 times and would have previously given this place 3 stars had it not been for the POTATO CHIP CRUSTED TURKEY BURGER W/ TOTS. Yum! This is on my new list of crave foods. I think I've had this burger 3 times in the last 2 months. Such simple, yet perfect flavors with the remoulade sauce and pickles. Tater tots and ketchup just add to the deliciousness. Other than that, I've had breakfast items: omelettes, pancakes, French toast. All not bad. I think I tried the Cali bowl once. Can't remember much about it. Not sure if I'll be able to try anything else in the future as I will always be here for the POTATO CHIP CRUSTED TURKEY BURGER. Oh service here has always been great. Friendly, down-to-earth people. I'll be back!
(4)Mike P.
This place serves Cap'n Crunch french toast. That should entice you enough to have brunch here. Period. But seriously, Daily Eats is pretty amazing. My cousin and I originally wanted to come by on a Sunday morning but they were absolutely slammed with customers, so we opted to come back another day to give them a shot. DE is more or less the size of your average diner, with seats inside and outside under a canopy. The waiters/waitresses here are top notch and super friendly if you're new to the place. The one we had specifically was a spitfire and we joked back and forth with her the whole time, obviously leaving her a generous top because of it. Onto the food. DE seemed to cater more towards the breakfast and brunch crowds, but that didn't stop them from having some pretty mouthwatering lunch and dinner options. We opted on getting brunch since it was sort of in the middle of morning and afternoon and I was craving something with an egg in it. I got the Jersey Shore with a side of fresh fruit while my cousin got The Smitty also with a side of fresh fruit. I then ordered one piece of french toast for both of us to try, and got super excited when our waitress asked whether I wanted regular or Cap'n Crunch. Obviously when Cap'n Crunch is offered, you go with that, especially when, A. You've never had french toast with it, and B. It's Cap'n Crunch. She came out not long after with our entrees and packed the table to the brim with food. My entree ended up being a bacon, egg, and cream cheese sandwich, with a burger and onions, on an everything bagel. You wouldn't expect cream cheese to go well with a burger, but man was it good and it definitely filled me up. My cousin's came out in a big bowl with pieces of scrambled eggs, bison meat, cheddar, and red onions served over brown rice. I had a few bites and fell in love with it, especially with the bison meat. The french toast by the way, flawless. There wasn't an overpowering of Cap'n Crunch flavor, but just enough for it to be noticeable. Not to mention, you don't need syrup for this one, it's fantastic without it. Daily Eats is a BIG must if you're in the Tampa area for both the food and the hospitality. I know I'll be back here next time I'm down in Florida.
(5)Inga S.
Love it. Shredder bowls are excellent. The burger one takes like a Big Mac in a bowl.
(5)Hana C.
Good service. Cute restaurant. Had the Smitty and Hard Body. Both were perhaps their more healthier options. The former had bison meat and brown rice; the latter was with egg whites, turkey, quinoa, and spinach. Both were good but the bison needed more flavor, seasoning...something extra. I could see myself coming back here...maybe for their less healthy options

I was kicking off 2015 with a nice healthy lunch at Daily Eats on South Howard, and had the pleasure of enjoying the company of my Yelp friend, Michelle M. We were renewing our semi-regular monthly lunch meeting to catch up on news and good eats. Neither of us had eaten at Daily Eats, so this seemed like the perfect excuse to try this South Tampa eatery for lunch. As many people know, Daily Eats is part of the successful Ciccio Restaurant Group which includes Ciccio Cali, Ciccio's / Water, the Lodge, Green Lemon, and Fresh Kitchen. These folks seriously love the South Tampa area, and they've done a great job helping to shape the restaurant scene in the region. You'll find Daily Eats along S. Howard Avenue, just south of Swann, and at the intersection of Bristol Avenue. Parking in this area can be a challenge, but they have a small lot between Green Lemon and Daily Eats, and a larger lot across the street for these two restaurants. Daily Eats is a refurbished two-story house right on the corner, and they've taken full advantage of the wrap-around veranda porch to offer al fresco dining for smaller groups. Inside the restaurant you'll find booths, and a casual diner-like atmosphere. Outside is more relaxed, and a nice place to sit when the weather cooperates. Much like a diner you can order breakfast at any hour which includes traditional omelets, egg dishes, French toast, and pancakes -- but all with a playful twist. French toast covered with Cap'n Crunch cereal, or how about scrambled eggs with diced onions, tomatoes, scallions and capers on a bed of tater tots topped with smoked salmon and served with a side of scallion cream cheese all in a bowl? If breakfast isn't your thing, then flip the menu over to see their selection of burgers, mac n cheese, or a nice mix of sandwiches that come with fries, tots, salad, cole slaw, baked beans or fresh fruit. For an upcharge you can go wild and get sweet potato fries, chili cheese fries and more. Now in the middle of the back page are what they call "Shredder Bowls", and this has nothing to do with snowboarding in Vail. Nope, these are their take on fresh ingredients and various proteins served over a bed of brown rice or quinoa, and mixed shredded lettuce or spinach. I liked the sound of their Gyro Shredder Bowl which was gyro meat, tomatoes, onions, pepperoncini, feta, tzatziki sauce and white balsamic vinaigrette, served over brown rice with spinach. They have about ten different styles of these shredder bowls which run about $10 for a very filling meal. Michelle and I both had shredder bowls and liked them very much. Delicious, healthy food at a fair price, and a very relaxed atmosphere. I will be back to try some of their breakfast choices next time.
(4)Ingrid B.
Oh how I miss having lunch here! Since I'm now in St Pete during work hours I've had to settle for visiting during other times. Every visit here has been great. Staff is always so nice and friendly. On this visit, my sister and I had a late lunch on a rare weekday off. We shared the tater hater, cause how can you not start with loaded tater tots? We both had bowls and they were both delicious as usual. I don't think you could go wrong with a Daily Eats bowl!
(5)Kelly K.
My favorite place!! The food is great and they have an awesome staff. I love that they have healthy options.
(5)Kim G.
I came here for breakfast with my bestie last weekend. I loved it. Great food and service. The place is kind of small, so if you want to sit inside, I suggest you get there early. I believe this place is owned by the same group that owns Cicco's, the Lodge and the Green Lemon, so expect similar type of food (but good food none the less). Also, all of the servers are very attractive, so if that's important to you, there you go. The only thing that disappointed me was I could not get a mimosa, due to it being Sunday and us getting there before 11am (stupid Florida law). Otherwise, it as a great meal with great company. I will definitely come here again, and I will make sure I'm there when mimosas are served.
(5)Jazz K.
Came into town for family and loved the brunch we had here. The captain crunch French toast.. shut the front door. The Memphis chicken sandwich was juicy and had great crunch. I have already recommended it to my family and will return when I'm in town. Jay the waiter was great.
(5)Alex R.
I loved eating here. It is a classic diner on the inside and the staff, at least sitting at the bar, was welcoming, informative and attentive. After learning it was my first visit I got some great recommendations which is a great idea for servers to help you feel welcome. I ate the grits and Bronx Bully Benedict...steak and poached eggs with hollandaise. Yum!! The grits do not need doctoring so try them before adding butter or salt or anything. Breakfast with coffee was $15 which is a little high, but for the area I might be ok. I will be back to try some other dishes.. also open for lunch and dinner.
(4)Kimber A.
Excellent service. It was pretty busy on a weekday during lunch. Had to wait about 15 minutes to be seated. Didn't mind though. I had 2 babies with me so we were more than happy to wait for an appropriate table that could fit high chairs. The tater tots on the appetizer menu were to die for! I got some kind of BLT bowl and it was delicious. It was more first time going here and I will definitely be back! Even the customers were all very friends and down to earth. Maybe it was because my babies are cute?
(4)Brian H.
Driving around Tampa looking for a place to eat and stopped by since we have heard great things about it. I ordered the sirloin egg bowl and she had the turkey hash bowl. The meat was tender, more so then you would have one Philly steak which I loved. It was missing some seasoning however. The turkey hash bowl was interesting but did not resemble hash by any means. I am no hash expert but her was flavored much better than mine. We heard they had crispy toast crunch. Hmmmm ok I'm in. Did a single slice as an appetizer. Pro- tasted good, perfect for a desert. Con-wasnt crispy and came the same time as our meal (which it probably isn't a popular request so we didn't care much) All in all I'd say I would go again if I saw a better selection on the menu for breakfast. Their lunch items I'm definitely in to try..
(4)Sara S.
One of the best breakfast places. This is an easy and obvious go-to place for breakfast, and probably more since I see some beer and wine specials, but for me, it's one of the best breakfasts in town. Good food, good service, good prices. I haven't had anything I didn't enjoy. My favorite is the onyx breakfast sandwich. It's simple and simply tasty served with some soft but crispy outside potatoes, turkey sausage, eggs, cheese, multigrain bread. Throw a little ketchup and Tobasco, voila! Staff is always awesome. I wonder where they find and train these amazing people sometimes. As busy as it gets, everyone is in positive spirits and always attentive. They will also help you if you're new to the menu or unsure of what to get. They seem to know their product. It's a loud and bustling restaurant with a diner kind of feel. There will be a wait at peak times, but you can sit outside if it's not hot for you and traffic noise doesn't bother you. Parking is available in a large shared lot, on the street or in another lot across the street.
(5)India M.
Decided to check this place out with a friend, and i'm glad we did. I had a breakfast bowl and she tried the burger both were amazing the food was fresh & delicious our server Lauren was awesome!! Overall great experience!!! I will definitely be back there were so many choices between the breakfast and lunch menu I can't wait to return.
(5)Anthony C.
Whenever I'm home I come here at least a couple times a week. All of there food is done well. You can get your traditional diner food from great burgers to an awesome triple decker club. Or, you can go for a little bit on the healthier side with a Thai Peanut bowl. The wait staff are very nice and have a relaxed vibe to them. If I would have to pick anything that some people would complain about, it would probably be that the girls working there could tie their hair up a little bit to avoid it swinging into the food. I myself haven't had a problem with it, but heard some friends mention it. Overall this place is great, the prices are fair, staff is friendly, and I love all of the food. My favs are: * Thai peanut bowl * New Yorker eggs Benedict * buffalo chicken sandwich * Triple decker club w/ chicken * Pancakes ( THESE ARE STUPID GOOD)
(4)Bill B.
Always a good place to stop in for a bite!
(5)Roxanna M.
This is one of my favorite spots in town. If you love a good diner experience like I do then don't miss out on Daily! I have never had something that I did not love. A really great staff from the hostess to the servers just really friendly! Of course they have milkshakes, and Ray our server did an outstanding job! You will be a hooked after the first visit.
(5)Katie J.
This is the best breakfast joint in downtown Tampa. Who can argue with a menu full of breakfast options for people who like either sweet, savory, or spicy. Plus... mimosas..... the best! I stop here all the time.
(5)James J.
Excuses can be a dime a dozen when it comes to restaurants, whether it be the "rush" or an event that surges business. Tempers can flare, service can fall, and consistency in what winds up on the plate is not always guaranteed. Cue my trip to Daily Eats during what I can only imagine to be a citywide day of hangovers for Tampa: Gasparilla. Any kind soul will cut slack to a little sluggishness or missteps, but it is up to the business to recognize and remedy problems even when the heat is turned up. Daily Eats might have been having a 3-star day, but they had more than enough proof in practice and food-deliciousness to insure I will stop in again. The Space Right off of Southern Howard (SoHo) and just a stretch from the bay, Daily Eats occupies a relatively small building that, thanks to ample outdoor seating, can comfortably maintain the happy masses they attract. The decor is what I might call diner-chic, with bright orange and yellow furnishings throughout. Booths, tables, and a bar all give the opportunity for your most comfortable choice, but no matter where you sit, the foot traffic is constant. The Service Our group of 6 knew what we were getting into at noon on a Sunday after a major local holiday when seeking out the most splendiferous of meals (read: brunch). Given an estimate of 1 hour to be seated, we waited out the minutes with a cup of coffee from Starbucks and suffered through tummy rumbling until getting a pretty roomy booth. The waitress that came to us was swift, vibrant, and helpful in knocking out drink orders and making recommendations beyond the "well this is good". Hearing my choice was best paired with an over-medium versus over-easy egg, for example, was welcomed feedback when she could have easily rushed away and left it at that. Once the orders were placed, though, the mood began to decline. The staff was all over the place in a frantic attempt to keep up with the crowd. This resulted in dropped dishes and projectiles flying at ourselves and patient patrons. There could definitely have been a benefit to slowing down just a wee bit. Then, when we saw that 3 meals came out before 3 others, we became dismayed. Apparently the highly-regarded Captain Crunch French Toast was held up for lack of batter, and was now starting to be made at the time 3 meals were placed on the table. Not a great decision by the kitchen, but I imagine communication was off. That said, when defeat was accepted and our checks came, the waitress frantically rushed out to stop us from signing. Without a single request or complaint from our group, the management comped ALL french toast orders and drinks for us. Stunning, stellar empathy to recognize and act on shortcomings so intentionally. It was as if letting us leave having paid full price would have been hurtful to the powers that be. I love a business like this. The Food For all the scrambled that this egg was turning out to be, I can easily attest to the food tasting pretty great: Bloody Mary (C+) felt non-traditional and was heavy in both lime and sweetness. While I could appreciate the idea behind it, I definitely am a classic tomato-hugs-spice kind of guy for this cocktail. Tijuana Breakfast bowl (B+) embodied my favorite southwestern omelet ingredients into a delicious, layered bowl of goodness. The over-medium egg melts amongst the layers of cheese, chili, and potato to make each bite equally awesome, not to mention a dose of cool sour cream and creamy guac to round out the kick. I asked for a side of sriracha as well (because I am weird like that) and was pleasantly surprised to get a, somewhat small, but tasty version I suspect might be made in-house (would love to know if I am right about this). Captain Crunch French Toast (A) was hyped up to me before I even set foot in the door by a coworker, and it did not let me down. The coating was not too thick, and with the cereal finely milled into the batter, each slice had the memorable taste of Saturday morning cartoon marathons. I was concerned it might taste too much like cereal and not enough like quality brunch, but this fear was immediately disspelled. This not even to mention how fluffy and thick the slices were, resulting in mouthfuls of sweet, syrupy clouds. A must-have if you are a fan of sweet at breakfast time. Final Thoughts The area has a lot to offer when it comes to food, and I imagine the competition is stiff on any given day. Daily Eats's menu is bountiful and fun, in addition to unique daily specials, but I saw this trend in a few other spots I considered. When you can count on above-average being a given, the truly great must go the extra mile. The parts of my experience that leave me wanting, and that could have spelled a so-so aftertaste, also managed to be a highlight of my visit. I look forward to a future chance at tossing the missing star onto this review because, with a bit less fluster, Daily Eats would have the whole shebang.

This is a definite must for breakfast/brunch in Tampa. Thank goodness for great recommendations from friends because we would have not come across this place otherwise. We were staying in Downtown Tampa but it was an easy and quick 10 minute drive to get here. The parking lot was full but, thanks to our patience, we scored a spot in the adjacent lot. (Check out the gorgeous "You Are Beautiful" graphic on the brick wall) No worries though because there is additional parking across the street. Since it was a Sunday morning there was a bit of a wait outside. You have to sorta force yourself through the throngs of people at the door to get to the person who is taking names for the wait list. They asked where we preferred to be seated and we told them first available. Which worked in our favor since they had a table available on the covered patio. The bigger sized parties had more of a wait so keep that in mind. Our server was great and gave us a rundown on their menu. The breakfast bowls are the popular choice-- eggs and toppings on top of a bed of home fries (yummy seasoned potatoes). She also recommended the Chef's Famous crunchy French toast which uses Captain Crunch cereal in its coating! I went with the Tijuana breakfast bowl while my husband went with the Bacon & Eggs breakfast bowl. We also got the French toast to share. Since I was a little under the weather, I went with the OJ but got a little jealous seeing the folks next to us with their bloody marys. Next time!! The food was delicious and way more than I anticipated. I am one that hates to waste but I really couldn't finish my breakfast bowl. It was huge (think pasta bowl size). On top of home fries was a bed of scrambled eggs topped with 3 bean veggie chili, shredded jalapeno jack, tomatoes and guac! OMG sooo good but very filling. My husband's meal was simple - potatoes, eggs, bacon and cheese . The French toast was tasty and better than I was expecting. Only thing that was a concern was that there are only 2 restrooms (male and female). So that means the line can back up quickly .... Overall, we had an excellent meal. Quick seating , great service and awesome food. We will be back someday!

The service was great, my dad ordered a chocolate milkshake (his indulgence) & they were out of chocolate ice cream but the waiter offered him a specialty shake for the same price. I had the Thai Peanut Bowl, my daughter had the Chicken & Cheese and dad had a BLT; all were amazing. My other daughter ordered a buffalo Mac n Cheese, pretty good but the large was too much.

small on the interior of this place so plan on waiting or get there at a magical time. Every time I've been to Daily Eats the service is great and the wait staff is always eager to explain the menu and walk you through any questions you may have. I love how small it is! Sometimes when I go into big restaurants you feel a disconnect from the true atmosphere of the place. Here, the wait staff explains their POV and makes you feel welcome. The food is amazing. The Eggs Benedict is my personal recommendation! OH I almost forgot about the PANCAKES. probably some of the best pancakes I've ever tasted. Great texture and cinnamony flavor

Our final stop on our tour de Tampa was a must have breakfast at Daily Eats on the way out of town. Another place we would hit up on the regular when we lived there and it was exactly as we remembered. I love the concept of this place because it takes your traditional breakfast favorites and turns them on their heads. For example, the breakfast bowls - take your traditional eggs benedict - eggs, ham and hollandaise sauce on an English muffin right? Daily Eats takes those yummy ingredients, mixes them in a bowl, breaks up the English muffin, mixes that in as well and wa-la a breakfast bowl is born! They have several well-known a.m. favorites made into bowls i.e. french toast and eggs or bacon and eggs as well as their own twist, the Tijuana - scrambled eggs, three bean vegetable chili, shredded jalapeno jack, tomoatoes and guacamole on a bead of home fries. Hello! Or should I say, hola? The morning the hubs and I went, I indulged in one of those bowls myself, I was going back and forth between the Cap'n Crunch French toast bowl and the cinnamon French toast and scrambled eggs bowl. I was unsure whether the Cap'n Crunch bowl would be too sweet; my server warned it was on the sweet side, but she did also say it was one of her favorites. I erred on the side of caution and went with the cinnamon toast choice, but after hearing everyone around me comment on and order the other, I immediately regretted my decision. My husband, the meat lover, went with the obvious, carnivore omelet which is exactly that, bacon, sausage, ham, cheddar cheese and scallions. I have to say, after the first bite of my bowl, all my indecision went out the window, it was AH-MAZING. The cinnamon French toast gave it just enough sweetness to compliment the mild flavor of the eggs. When I say mild, I don't mean tasteless, they were very good, fluffy scrambled eggs; the salty to the sweetness of the toast. My husband really enjoyed his omelet and commented on the amount of meat it had. It was a very thick, well-stuffed omelet that he deemed one of the best he's ever had (next to my dad's of course.) We were unable to finish our plates as they are hefty portions for morning, but the meal was every bit as good as we remembered. Daily Eats is a quaint, local favorite for South Tampa residents and even for us all the way down in South Florida. If you are in the area around lunch time, they also have a great lunch menu as well as other restaurants in their group (also some of our favorites) Ciccio and Tony's, Green Lemon and Water. You can't go wrong with any of them! These guys put love in their food!

I flipping love this place so much. Their sweet potato fries with honey are amazing and they have gluten free options on the menu! Super exciting. The staff and managers are very friendly. I come by at least once a month to get my sweet potato fry on!!!

If I could give 10 stars I definitely would! This place is awesome! A couple of friends and I ate here every single day on our vacation in Tampa!!! I was so sad when I had to leave. Try the captain crunch french toast...you will thank me later!

Ugh no no no! I gave DE a second chance and have really liked the food there recently but I have to update my review again because this is the second time I've found hair in my food and it's REALLY gross. I understand that these things happen, but I think finding hair in my food on two separate occasions is way too many hairs for me. Who knows, I may just be the only one who noticed the hair and said something about it. The manager was nice and took my meal off of the check, but I am very hesitant to come back now that I've had the same thing happen twice. Apparently this was a problem way back when from what the manager told me, but it seems like it hasn't been fixed yet. Ultimately I just don't want to go somewhere and be grossed out by my experience so I really don't want to go back to DE now. The food is good, but cleanliness is really important to me and I think I value that way more in a dining experience.

I LOVE this diner. It really helps maintain the neighborhood feel for those of us who live near South Howard among the college bars and the expensive restaurants. It's perfect for a relaxed breakfast or late night pick me up... It's especially great for cheap, feel good take-out on a rainy night! My favorites: The dougie, Greek shredder bowl w Turkey, Buffalo Chicken Mac, & of course the Oreo Shake!

This banana lover will be back for the banana french toast. When I ordered them I thought I was just getting a few slices of french toast with banana slices on top. When my order arrived....happiness. The bananas are IN the slices. They were so tasty. I am also a huge fan of sweet potatoes so when I had the option of ordering sweet potato fries with my french toast I was very happy. I also really like the green juice that I tried. I ordered the Big Green O. It was very green and very good. It was $5 for a small glass and I did think that was a bit pricey but it was tasty so I may try another :)
(5)Candace D.
This place is so fun!!!! Especially for after work mimosas!!!!!! This is a cool little diner, the food is super yummy (breakfast and lunch) and they serve mimosas of many different flavors!!!!! I work as a nurse and sometimes after a long shift my coworkers and I love to go up here and enjoy a cocktail with breakfast (or I guess its our dinner lol)! We were coming so frequently, the manager started giving us (or anyone else in scrubs) mimosas for $2 !!!!! YUM-O!
(4)Cece C.
When in doubt, get a shredder bowl! That was one of the first meals I had upon moving to Tampa a few years ago and is still just as good. This place is BUSY. To say the least. We sat inside but probably should have been outside since you could barely hear yourself talk. The food was good, and service was fine. Seems like a fun place for lunch or brunch on a lazy day. I didn't know they were dog-friendly, but I plan on bringing the pup next time for sure.

I've dismissed Daily Eats for years, assuming it was nothing more than your typical diner fare. Little did I know that I was missing out on Cap'n Crunch Crispy French Toast, Potato Chip Crusted Turkey Burgers, and Apple Pie Milkshakes. My favorite Yelper and lunch buddy, Steve E. agreed to join me for lunch last Friday at Daily Eats. After hearing the daily specials and looking over the menu we decided to start the New Year afresh and order the healthy Shredder Bowls. These unique bowls offer a combination of fresh vegetables and healthy proteins served over a bed of brown rice or quinoa and shredded lettuce or spinach. The bowls come in half portions at $6.50 or full bowls at $10. (Additional charges apply for quinoa, spinach, NY strip or ahi tuna.) The full portion was filling, but not large enough for leftovers. I would only suggest ordering the half bowl as a light snack or accompanied with another item on the menu. Steve ordered the Gyro Shredder Bowl with gyro meat, tomatoes, onions, pepperoncini, feta, tzatziki sauce and white balsamic vinaigrette served over brown rice and spinach. I ordered the Greek Shredder Bowl with shredded chicken, cucumbers, kalamata olives, pepperoncini, garbanzo beans, feta, white balsamic vinaigrette and oregano served over brown rice and spinach. Both of us agreed that the Shredder Bowls were a delicious and healthy lunch option. Breakfast, my favorite meal of the day, is offered at Daily Eats during all hours of operation so I will be back to try one of the six egg benedict options... and a breakfast bowl.... and the Cap'n Crunch French Toast! Oink! Oink! TIP: Parking is limited during peak hours, but a complimentary parking lot is located across the street.

This is one of my neighborhood faves! I especially enjoy the breakfast options but lunch and dinner are good here too. The specialty throughout the Ciccio's chain of restaurants is the bowl whereby a bunch of listed incredients are pile atop a base in a bowl. For breakfast this is usually potato and at lunch/dinner its usually a starch like rice or pasta. Again I love Daily Eats breakfast so I usually come for the Captain Crunch French Toast with cheesy bacon grits. My sister is a fan of the CNC Pancakes also accompanied by the cheesy bacon grits. I have tried several menu items and I have not been disappointed with anything but the waldorf bowl. Its a waldorf salad on rice ... yeah just give me the salad instead. The prices average $10 per entree item which makes it an affordable place to have a quick bite to eat. Oh now understand quick is a relative term depending on the time of day you visit. This place is popular so you will always find a line out of the door for lunch and weekend brunch. Its a tried and true family fave for us so its definitely worth a try.
(4)Erica S.
This is a cute and casual diner-style place that is great for any meal. We had the shredder bowls, which come in two sizes so you can order depending on your appetite. The ingredients were fresh and really tasty. I had the fish taco bowl with tuna and tried he thai peanut with chicken. I loved the fish taco bowl, but the thai peanut was a little salty for me. We also had the Mac and cheese, which was flavorful and not too rich. The burgers and brunch sound amazing, so I will definitely be back. Overall this is a delicious mostly healthy option for any meal!

This is the kind of place you would find on Diners, Drive-in and Dives. And that means this is the kind of place I want to eat. For starters, my sister and I got into Tampa Airport at 9am. After picking up the rental and checking on Yelp, we found this spot for breakfast cause we was starvin. We both had some ice coffee concoction that was OK, not sweet enough for my liking, but thats just me. There was a hint of flavor, but overall it was good. Wanna say there was almond milk in it, but I am writing this review 11 days later. For breakfest I had the French Toast and Egg bowl, which was mouth watering. My sis and I split a slice of the Crunch French Toast, which if I had known how good it was (though the waitress did tell me how slammin' it is) I would have ordered 4 more slices. The place was very packed, then again it was Sunday morning and being from northern NJ, I'm use to it (though not the humidity, so we waited longer to sit inside). This joint got it going on and from what I've seen and was told, the area is going through a transition and is becoming a hot spot. Check this place out and you won't be feeling hungry or disappointed. It's because of Yelp, we are able to find these great hidden gems.

I have been here several times and always loved what I've ordered. Get what ever Taylor recommends because it will be your new favorite! I'm not sure what it was called...hope she remembers on my next visit. They keep this place spotless and it always helps when they have employees like Taylor that are very nice and helpful. I will definitely ask for her next time.
(4)Diana A.
Love love love this place. My boyfriend took me for brunch and we sat outside which wasn't unbearably hot. Thank god. The server was so welcoming, and had knowledge on the menu which is always my favorite. She was also giving us her favorite items which I enjoyed. We both got breakfast bowls which were yummy. We also got a side of their captain crunch French toast. This is a dish that is discussed a lot on their yelp . I LOVED it. Next time I'll be ordering it as my main dish. We also had mimosas which were so good. The experience as a whole was great. We will deff be back .
(5)Erica L.
Good food and OK service. Always too packed to get a relaxed vibe when I go. The french toast is great!
(4)Judy M.
Thank you, Yelp! You found this gem for us! Great service, great food!!!! Superb home fries! We will be back to try more of your culinary delights!
(5)Samantha J.
I've been here many times and I've never been disappointed. The staff is always super courteous and friendly and it's never been a long wait time for s table. That being said, I've also only gone on weekday mornings after working and weekday afternoons - I hear the weekends can get crowded. I love that it's a little hole in the wall place to eat but the food is AMAZING. I've had both breakfast and lunch here and it's been so good every time. Their pancakes are some of the best I've ever had and I highly recommend the Dougie breakfast bowl in particular - egg whites, turkey sausage, and cinnamon wheat pancakes chopped and mixed in a bowl YUM! Sitting outside could get a little loud because you're right next to Howard Ave and there is a decent amount of traffic. I highly recommend stopping by to grab a bite if you're in the area!
(5)Alicia P.
I've eaten breakfast, lunch and dinner here on a number of occasions. I like it! There are so many different items to choose from you can eat every meal here! For breakfast, my favorite options are the Dan (breakfast sandwich), the Greek Omelette with oatmeal and the French Toast and Eggs breakfast bowl. For lunch, I can't seem to get away from the Waldorf shredder bowl with chicken, spinach instead of shredded lettuce, no blue cheese and my dressings on the side. Is SOOOOOO yummy! And for dinner, that option changes each time but always have a good meal. OH the TATER HATERS! Those are so fabulous. And $2 mimosas after 2 pm every day! Great for those late Sunday brunches. The diner feel is fun. It is always jam packed. The service is usually really good. There are only a couple times I can recall not the most attentive or nice service. The place always looks clean. The prices are very reasonable. It's a go-to spot when you can't figure out what you want or for a quick bite. Quick once you're seated. The wait times, depending on the day/time, can be long...
(4)Nicholas P.
Stopped by for breakfast this beautiful Saturday morning and almost decided to find somewhere else when they told me it would be a half-hour wait for just me. I am very glad I decided to stay - the breakfast and service was well worth the wait. My server, Victor, was extremely attentive and friendly. I ordered a mimosa and the Broad St. Bully benedict sandwich, with some bacon and pancakes on the side. The drinks and food arrived quickly and were *delicious*. Saturday is my "go crazy" day after eating healthy all week, and apparently the owner or manager (I think) liked my gluttonous style (I promise I don't actually eat like this all the time) so much that he bought me another mimosa. Highly recommended (but be prepared to wait) and I'll definitely be back.
(5)Vikki Y.
Found this little gem in between audits and loved the food! I had the Captain Crunch French Toast, the Turkey Sausage with AVO and a side of potatoes. The Boss had pancakes and eggs. The food was delicious and the potatoes were so amazing the my boss ate all of it! I wish the juices were fresh squeezed but no worries because the service was really friendly and made up for it! If I ever go back I will definitely try this place again!
(4)Erin S.
This place is just as delicious as ever. I tried some new dishes recently after moving to south tampa that were absolutely incredible. They have a quesadilla on the appetizer menu that could totally be a meal with its size. And It was one hell of a quesadilla. It was stuffed with pulled pork, black beans, cheese, plaintains for a little sweetness, and served with a creamy/sweet sauce (cant remember what it was). Holy cow it was so good. I also ordered a patty melt that was flippin gigantic. The picture doesnt even do it justice. It was sinful, and I couldnt even get through half of it. Thanks for another gluttonous & glorious meal Daily Eats.
(5)Karen P.
I love eating in downtown areas, especially at local places that have a good vibe and menu. That being said, I was initially put off by the hostesses at DE. It was raining and the third member of our party dropped us off, so we didn't have to walk in the rain. "We can't seat you until your entire party is here," she said flatly and unappologetically. When we pointed to the door as our third arrived and said that's him, I saw an eye roll. I don't like seeing an eye roll. My other concern is that the shorts on the girls were too tight and short or they were wearing yoga crops, neither of which are appetizing to a straight lady who wants to enjoy their meal. If I wanted to go to Hooters or another kitschy bar, I would have gone there instead. Seeing young girls in their late teens and early twenties dressed like that simply didn't sit well with me. Our server was much nicer than the hostess which redeemed the dining experience a bit. My friends reassured me that the food, despite the rocky start, was well worth it. I enjoyed the Cap'n Crunch Milkshake which tasted like my childhood in a glass. The chopped bits of cereal were crunchy and the milkshake was nice and thick. I followed up with a Tampa Mule, and found it surprisingly refreshing. It was a nice local twist on the Moscow Mule. Next time, if my appetite permits it, I would like to venture into their food menu as many of the choices sounded outstanding. Hopefully the overall service will better next time.

Good spot for brunch type food. We sat outside and there was no wait. there was a wait to eat inside , however. Outside was fine but the tables were a little small for my 6 foot 3 husband. Here is a rundown of our experience Service- Our server was a little off his game, my husband's water went without a refill despite it being empty and the server seeing this twice. I was not impressed with his waiting skills Food- I had the Tijuana bowl which was huge and filling.I liked the chick peas in the chilli. My husand had the carnivore omelet which was ok. Overall the meal was sufficient. I appreciate the fact that they incorporated healthy options in their menu such as quinoa and turkey bacon. Best thing there was the side of sweet potato fries with honey. I may just go back for that and try their bloody marys with it.
(4)Abbey M.
Went here for breakfast per suggestion from a friend who lives in Tampa. Let me just say, I was NOT disappointed! Each person in our group ordered something different but my two faves were: Chefs Crunchy French Toast (tastes like Captain Crunch and French toast - ah making!) and the Turkey Hash-savory deliciousness! I love how they have run of the mill breakfast items but they jazz them up. Example: The Dougie has pancakes, Turkey sausage and egg whites all combined in a bowl. Random but incredible at the same time. (a perfect blend of sweet and salty) STAFF : All very knowledgeable about the menu and they make great suggestions! DECOR : Very cute, feels like a modern day diner. ATMOSPHERE : Fun and welcoming. A wide variety of people. Tip : Try the shakes! You can't go wrong with any flavor and they are all handmade, yummmmmmy
(5)Kelly C.
This place is to die for. I've only been for breakfast twice but I plan on coming back for lunch or dinner. Both times I ordered chocolate chip & oreo pancakes (yes, they are as delicious as they sound) with home fries. They also have many healthy options but obviously I chose to indulge. Try it! You won't be disappointed!
