Portobello Diner

Pretty good and very reasonably priced to breakfast. I gave it four stars instead of three because of the lack of decent breakfast places in the area. Seminole is filled with fast food chain places for breakfast which generally suck so it is nice to find an actual café where they make home fries and good value for the money. I had the French toast combo which was very filling and good! Real butter and I think the syrup was true maple syrup but I could not be 100% sure. Large portions and a full breakfast ran me $ 8 plus tip without coffee. The second time I ate there I had an omelet which was pretty good as well. The place does a big take away business as well for locals which I think is a good sign.
The only thing is that I would not recommend the coffee. Pretty weak and flat tasting if you are use to Starbucks level of morning. Good local place to find as an alternative to Fast food outlets.

Amazing place. Go once a week. Staff very friendly and helpful. I’ve been going for about 4 years now. Breakfast is so yummyyyy! In a plaza mall so theres stuff nearby like a nail place so you could eat and then get you mani and pedi! Highly recommend this diner

This is a small clean family restaurant with an unusual and eclectic menu. My first and still best experience was their eggs Florentine, which I was delighted to find was made with FRESH spinach! (So many restaurants these days use chopped frozen spinach, which to me makes it not worth ordering). I thoroughly enjoyed it, and they don’t raise eyebrows at me when I ask for them to hold the English muffin. The home fries are among the best I’ve ever had, crispy, delicious and worth the calories (especially if I don’t eat an English muffin!).
My husband loves their other breakfasts, and I have also sampled their crepes — tasty but could use a bit more filling. Still, the spinach-​mushroom-​cheddar crepes I had contained FRESH spinach and mushrooms, so I was very happy with them. The cappuccino I ordered was not good, but when we got our check the waitress said «I didn’t like the way the cappuccino turned out, so I took it off your check» — that makes me think they usually do better on it, so given the other good things there I’ll give them a pass on that.
We’ve been there three times. Always liked the food, and always had prompt friendly service. We will continue to frequent this very nice family restaurant! You should try it…

This place is a total gem. It came highly recommended, and I am so glad we stopped in. Such friendly service, and a great décor. And the food is amazing. Biscuits and gravy to die for and my husband was beyond excited that they have nutella crepes. Which he said were amazing. We will definitely be back!

As a local I try to get here once a week. Biscuits and gravy, pancakes and eggs Benedict are awesome. Friendly

Good lunch food. Bummed they do not have fresh brewed iced tea. Great and speedy service. Will recommend to friends.

This was the worst food I have ever eaten in a restaurant. A week old McDonalds hamburger would have been better. I am utterly aghast that they could actually charge for this food, if you can call it food at all!!! The dressing on the salad was so salty we could not eat our salads. They were out of German sausages so we ordered Schnitzel. It was burned, actually black. It was as dry as a hockey puck. The potato salad was so sweet it was inedible. My daughter had a French dip that tasted like cold cat food. The frozen fries were still slightly frozen. I really thought I was going to get physically sick and was nauseated from just the few bites I had. They did at least refund my money.

STAY AWAY! I Ordered a Caesar salad, French dip, and my guest had the schnitzel with eggs and a Caesar salad. The salads were overly salty, over dressed and wilted. My dip was on a soggy hoagie. The meat was greasy and over cooked. The cheese was also greasy so it leads me to believe it wasn’t real cheese but processed cheese food which separates when heated. The fries that came with it where from a frozen bag. They were still cold even. The au jus was salty and watery, hardly any meat flavour at all. My guest said that their schnitzel was horrible, the meat was over cooked but the batter was greasy, and the eggs were so severely over cooked they had burned spots on the whites. We both only took a couple bites because it was so inedible. They did comp our meal but it was still a horrible experience. We left feeling nauseous from the horrendous food. I would never return here and would never recommend it to anyone.

Great place for breakfast and lunch.
It is a seminole secret, family owned.
If you like schnitzel, this is the place!

Decent breakfast spot serving German food and really good potato pancakes.

This place is down the street from where my grandparents/​aunt and uncle live, so we sometimes head over for family brunch when I’m in town. Recently I also stopped by the restaurant with a large group of hungover friends who were in town to celebrate my wedding. The staff at Portobello Diner can handle grandmas and detoxing 20somethings with equal aplomb.
The menu features standard diner fare as well as some German offerings like schnitzel and spaetzle. I’m partial to the potato pancakes. Breakfast dishes sometimes come with choice of bacon, sausage links, OR sausage patties, so let me tell you what’s up: the patties are where it’s at.

Just two minutes from my place is a pretty cool spot which does breakfast and lunch, closing at three p.m.
I’ve not had the breakfast but from the looks of the menu it seems quite tasty.
Portobello prides itself on home-​cooked food and when my friend and I went in for lunch, we saw the Specials board touting Chicken/​Bacon wraps for $ 6.95.
We ordered this and my friend got the house wine (more on this in a minute)
Delicious, moist morsels of chicken marinated in a spicy sauce with real bacon bits incorporated inside a soft flour wrap, drizzled with a home-​made Ranch sauce. The sides of cole slaw and potato salad were superb! I have to give a nod to the potato salad, slightly sweet with parts of the skin. best stuff I’ve had in a while.
As for the house wine. I noticed my friend hadn’t hardly touched her white Chardonnay. She confided it was ‘off’ or ‘old’. When the waitress came over, she told her and the waitress said it was ‘home-​made’.
This is when I tasted it and I recoiled like I had a shot of Moonshine. The flavor was so overwhelmingly redolent of alcohol I thought of Retsina or Ouzo. I mean, this stuff could have been added to a car’s gas tank and the car would have gotten real good mileage. I could have stripped old paint off with a bit of this. Damn!
So the waitress took this off our bill but actually charged us $ 7.95 for the lunch specials. We showed her the mistake and she was apologetic about the mistake.
So, I didn’t add a fifth star to our lunch adventure at Portobellos but I’m anxious to come back and try breakfast.
And they should seriously consider marketing the ‘home-​made’ wine as something else but they don’t have a liquor license!
