    My experience was unbelievable! From the moment I walked into the restaurant to the moment I left everything was so perfect. Gabby was our waitress and she was nothing short of amazing. She was attentive very, very nice so professional and did not miss a beat. I actually made sure that she is now in my profile at the restaurant. My ribeye was probably one of the best if not the best ribeye I’ve ever had. I could even cut it with a butter knife. The Caesar salad was amazing and the twice baked potato oh my gosh.!! I definitely left their extremely happy satisfied and very full. I live in Tampa and will definitely be coming back. If I could give the restaurant more than five stars, I would not one thing was not amazing.

    This was our first visit to the Braized Onion. The experience was perfect! The service was friendly and professional, the food was delicious, and the value on point. I had the meatloaf, which was unique and delicious. A friend joining me had the fish and chips, which was also delicious. The coconut cream pie was unlike any I’ve ever tasted!

    I went for brunch with a friend. I had the Southern Eggs Benedict. Loved the flavor and creativity with the Creole Hollandaise sauce. My friend had the Vegetarian Benedict and she loved the freshness with the avocado
