No wait the day we ate breakfast here, but it soon filled up. We were seated at a table for four next to a wall. You know the kind, where the person sitting next to the wall is eating with their elbows pressed to their sides. The food was average although plentiful. I was the only person at the table... More

We decided to try the Recipe Box for breakfast after hearing a great review from family member. I was disappointed - it is between average to poor. Let me explain why; 1) French toast was cold 2) Bacon excessively greasy (yes bacon can be greasy but this seemed excessive). After breakfast my stomach complained thanks to the grease. 3) Husband...

Quick service, great atmosphere with red-checker tablecloth type diner feel. Its a real simple place with food/service provided by real people. The eggs and hashbrowns were not full of butter or grease and were very tasty. Although there were lots of hungry folks standing out front, the wait was not that bad at all. Its a locals place thus not... More

Our original plan was to go to Ihop. But instead, I remembered a breakfast place that I heard about. Problem was, I couldnt remember the name. I only remembered that it was on Bloomingdale. Luckily, I remembered right as we turned off of John Moore and we found it immediately. We went the day after Christmas and it was busy,... More

I usually get the skillet but I have tried and seen many other breakfast dishes and they are all wonderful. If you want a hearty breakfast in Brandon/Valrico you are limited to just a few places, good thing one of those places is Recipe Box.

We've had the opportunity to eat at the Recipe Box a few times and every experience has been great. The food is very good and the servers are efficient and friendly. With a family of 4 it can get pricey going out to eat....the Recipe Box has big portions for a very low price.

Loved the spinach pie. I got it "to go" and hope to go back to try some other dishes. There is usually a line outside on Saturdays for brunch so it must be good.
