All of these restaurants are very good, just not good enough (in my opinion) to make
my Top-25 in New Tampa. I’m even admitting to liking some “fast food” places.-GN

For those of us who had been begging
for a great breakfast place in New Tampa, owner
Stanley Athan’s The Brunchery filled that void.
And, even though I prefer fried eggs over easy
with crispy bacon to the scrambled egg breakfast
shown above, this was such a pretty picture we
decided to use it instead. The Brunchery also
serves a selection of “Benedict” (poached egg)
breakfasts, avocado toast, a lox (smoked salmon)
platter, ultimate omelettes and an incredible
variety of French toast options. I’m embarrassed
to say Jannah and I haven’t sampled it for lunch
yet, but it offers burgers, sandwiches (including
tuna and grilled chicken melts) and salads.
There was a time, like when I first
purchased the Neighborhood News 26 years
ago, when this beautiful club, Boston Cooker
and Hunter’s Green Country Club were the
only “real” restaurants open for dinner in New
Tampa. But of course, you usually had to be a
member to dine at TPGCC, so I really only got
to eat there when I attended New Tampa Rotary
Club breakfast meetings on Friday mornings —
and that club still meets there every week! However,
I will say that the times when I’ve gotten
to have dinner at TPGCC, the food has always
been pretty good, like the filet shown above.
Why run to the store when we
can offer a better alternative
from every faucet?
