"Say Cheese" at Eggs Up Grill in Winter Garden Florida
I love visiting new restaurants wherever we go. But I love it, even more, when they open up in our home city.
Eggs Up Grill is a franchise. The Winter Garden location opened in August of 2021.
While a lot of restaurants were closing within the last two years due to Covid, Noel and his wife, Annie Arriola decided it was a good time to open a restaurant.
Unlike my two sons and I, who have been in the restaurant business for 30 years, Noel and Annie knew they wanted to try something different and had talked about opening a restaurant for 10 years.
They came across the Eggs Up Grill franchise. The motto of serving the community where you work and live stuck with them and knew that that was what they wanted to do.
Noel's career was in technology and Annie was a nurse. A big difference switching to the restaurant industry.
While I did have the pleasure of meeting Noel, the "window washer", (Noel's words lol,) he told me his wife, Annie, who owns the restaurant, was at her nursing job.
When you are in the restaurant business, or any job where you interact with people, you have to have a good sense of humor, especially in this day and age.
Choosing the Perfect Location
When starting up a new restaurant, it's always easier when you find a location that was a restaurant.
Since many restaurants were closing due to the pandemic, they just happened upon the perfect location.
And that was exactly what they did. The location was previously a Beef O' Brady's bar and grill, and another restaurant. Obviously, it wasn't good if I can't even tell you the name of it.
Situated in the West Point Commons Shopping Center at 13750 W. Colonial Drive in Winter Garden, Florida.
Unless you know it's there or are shopping at the Publix grocery store, you cannot see it because it sits back off the main road.
The "Say Cheese" Menu and More
I bet you are saying, get on with it already! How was the food?
I was invited to Eggs Up Grill to try out the new "Say Cheese" menu.
However, everything looked so good and it was a hard decision. But we also ordered from the regular menu to try out some of the daily items.
Good thing my son met us there so that we could try out more menu items.
"Say Cheese" Menu Items
- Strawberry Cheesecake Pancakes - 2 Fluffy pancakes filled with cheesecake bites, layered with cream cheese frosting, and topped with fresh strawberries. You can also add 2 eggs with bacon or sausage.
- Smokehouse Mac & Cheese Bowl - Smoked pork served over creamy mac & cheese with crumbled bacon, sauteed onion, grilled seasoned tomato slice and garlic toast.
- Cali Mac & Cheese Bowl - Grilled chicken and sauteed spinach served over a creamy white cheddar mac & cheese. Topped with fresh seasoned diced tomatoes, fresh avocado and chives. Served with garlic toast.
- Big Smoky Melt - Smoked pork, bacon, pickles, swiss cheese and bacon jam on grilled Texas toast. Served with home fries, potato salad, or chips and a pickle.
- Berry, Berry, Chocolate Mimosa - Sparkling wine with hints of berries and chocolate, and fresh sliced strawberries.
I started off the breakfast with the Berry, berry, Chocolate Mimosa, even if it was only 10:00 in the morning, lol.
And let me tell you...it is DELICIOUS! I was like Oh Em Gee! While I am a wine drinker, normally, I'm not a fan of sparkling wine. However, it wasn't as bubbly like some of the sparkling wines I've tried before.
It had a berry taste with an ever-so-slight taste of chocolate. I know they probably wouldn't have given me the recipe, but I should have at least asked. That's how good it is.
Maybe I'll have to get a job there to get the recipe. 😉
We also ordered the Strawberry Cheesecake Pancakes, because who doesn't love cheesecake and the Big Smoky Melt.
I didn't think I was going to get to try the Big Smoky Melt because he was eating it so fast. It was nice of him though to save me a bite so I could tell y'all my thoughts on the sandwich. 🙄
The Big Smoky Melt sandwich was one of the best sandwiches I've ever had and would definitely order it again. I'm pretty sure my husband agrees, lol.
The Strawberry Cheesecake Pancakes could be served for dessert. They weren't overly sweet and are a meal in itself.
In addition to the "Say Cheese" menu items that we ordered, we also ordered the Founder's Corned Beef Hash and Eggs and the Patty O' Sullivan Signature Omelet.
Because the corned beef hash is homemade and not from a can, it was exceptionally good and will be coming back for more.
Even though there were three of us, we could not finish all the food.
I really did want to try the Smokehouse Mac & Cheese Bowl, however, I knew we had already too much food.
We ended up taking a good portion of the pancakes home. My husband and son both said not to because normally pancakes aren't good reheated.
And you know what???? I didn't have to reheat them because they were so good later on even cold.
Eggs Up Grill's "Say Cheese" menu only runs through Mother's Day, so be sure and stop in to try out some of the delicious menu items.
And gosh, I hope they add the Berry, Berry, Chocolate Mimosa to the regular menu. I'm still hoping for the recipe though. 🤞
You can visit eggsupgrill.com for the full menu.
We can't forget to tell you about the staff. In addition to Noel making the rounds and chatting with all their customer's friends, the servers and hostesses are very friendly and attentive to your every need.
They really treat everybody like family.

Florida was way too humid for me the last time I visited.
