Eve's Family Restaurant - Oldsmar, Florida

Finally—a breakfast place that understands the magic of a Taylor Ham, Egg, and Cheese sandwich! As someone from northern NJ, this rare find feels like a slice of home. The first bite had me wondering if they somehow smuggled a Jersey diner down south.

The sandwich was perfection: the Taylor ham was crispy on the edges, the egg cooked just right, and the cheese melted like it had a job interview to impress. I may or may not have shed a tear of joy (don’t judge).

This place has officially become my go-to spot for breakfast, and I’m ready to campaign for them to rename the sandwich “The Jersey Special.” Highly recommend for anyone craving a taste of the North down here in sunny Florida. Just don’t tell my dietician!

With my wife on a family cruise (Nope I’m not ready for a ship full of people), I invited a couple from church to have St Patrick’s Day lunch with me. Just celebrated their seventy ninth (79!!!) anniversary. Both use walkers and neither drive so we’re like “adopted kids”.

Eve’s was really busy, even though we came at 1:00 PM. But we were seated right away and ordered teas. We glanced at menus but of course we all ordered the Corned Beef and Cabbage meal, with salad salads. Our salads and fresh rolls came quickly. Salads were fresh, chilly and delicious. Since they were so busy we had ample time to talk while enjoying our salads.

About the time we were finishing our salads our Huge plates of food came. Oh boy! Why do we have to wait a whole year to enjoy this? The corned beef was super and sooo tender I didn’t need the knife to cut it. Potatoes were soft and perfect. Cabbage was just a bit Al Dente? Not quite as tender as I would have liked but I was able to saw through it in small pieces. Still crunchy, it too was delicious. And a side of horseradish, fairly mild, was a good partner for the beef.

Then disaster struck!!! As I reached for a roll from the basket I bumped my tea glass and a full glass of tea went all over my side of the table, partly in my plate but mostly in my lap! I used all the napkins on our table and Debbie, our excellent server, brought more. Managed to clean up the table mostly but my pants looked like a too-late run for the bathroom!

Thankfully it was a slow meal so by the time we left my pants didn’t show as being soaked. Oh my. I don’t think I have spilled a drink in years! Maybe I was too excited going after the yummy rolls. No pics of my wet pants and also no pic of the Coconut Cream Pie we shared.

Stopped by with an Army Veteran friend that had never visited here. He was very impressed with the food, service and ambiance. He ordered a Steak Sub. I ordered Zucchini Straws to share and the Chicken Liver Plate with Onion Rings.

Our Zucchini Straws came quickly and were absolutely delicious! Hot, crisp and seasoned perfectly. And a huge pile! We had to push them away to have room for our lunch.

After a bit our meals came. He really enjoyed his Cheesesteak Sub. My Chicken Livers were out of this world. Best I have ever had. Onion Rings were perfect also. I recall that I’ve never had a bad meal of hundreds eaten here. My guest, although it was my treat, he insisted on paying the tip. The waitress, Luli Eve’s granddaughter and baker, and I were surprised. He left a 50% tip! I guess he liked it too!

When we moved to this small Florida town 33 years ago, Eve’s was just a donut shop. ThThen later served breakfast, again later added lunch and finally dinner. I’ve never had a bad meal there in all this time. And their cakes and pies are absolutely the best around. Great food, great service and fair prices make it a must visit.

Love the new remodel, sat at the breakfast bar and had the best omelette. Love extra crispy hash browns and they did not disappoint. I did not catch my servers name but she was so pleasant it made my whole experience perfect. Can’t wait to come back again.

Eve's Family Restaurant is the BEST diner I have been to in my life. I live an hour away and just happened to come across Eve's today and I can tell you that I am happy to drive the hour just to get here anytime! Our server Kayla was so great and attentive! Overall, best experience and food I have had in a long time!

This is the first time that I have visited Eve's family restaurant. Overall I believe the food was edible. Shelly are waitress was fast efficient and either needs help or a raise cuz she really was on the ball. Even though I got the meat lovers omelet it did come with a nice variety of sides but because of my dietary needs I chose the sliced tomatoes and no bread but it does come with your choice of toast or biscuit and other sides.
