This place is good. Wife and I have been coming here since we moved here in Late January, 2016. Food and service is good, but you do have to wait a while as it is not fast food. Well worth the wait!!!

Other than eggs not being cooked to order(over medium) not over hard, service is Mediocre. Good price for what you get otherwise. Will try again in the future to see if there is improvement. More

I've been here on a few occasions and the breakfast is very good. They did a great job with my bacon cheeseburger and fries for lunch. I wasn't too thrilled about their meatloaf. The place is small and it can get crowded in the morning however I would definitely go there for breakfast.

This place the food is excellent. It definitely gets crowded but opens up a little as the morning goes.. Great food. Breakfast potatoes are excellent. Excellent prices too. And staff is very friendly and good.. Now there is only one or two waitress but I still say they move pretty good for all the people there.

Bonita Fish company food and staff once again did not disappoint! We have family that work for a high end restaurant group so we hold high standards when we go out. Cheryl and Lily were amazing as well as the manager!!! Stone crab was the best I have ever had and the grouper plater is a meal that after eating it you crave the flavor until the next time you eat it! Phenomenal food!!!

My wife and I stopped in at H & M Restaurant in Sanford, FL on our way to Leesburg. We were amazed at the Great Prices and service! It doesn't look like much from the outside, but if you stop in you will be glad you did! Prices are out of this world! For instance I ordered a Philly Cheese Sub w/fries and a Dr. Pepper. My wife ordered a Chicken Stir Fry and a Iced Tea. The total cost with tax was only $24.20. That was pleasantly appreciated! Don't judge this place by it's outside appearance. Do stop in and you won't be disappointed! Large portions of food, great prices and excellent service will follow! We will definitely return there in the future! I highly recommend this little family owned restaurant to anyone looking for a great meal for breakfast or lunch! Give them a try.

Stopped here before heading to the Amtrak Auto Train. It's small and has minimal seating, but I was greated and seated upon entering. They do have counter seating if the booths are full. The menu had a good variety, but I came for the breakfast. I had a simple egg and sausage scramble. It was good and the price was reasonable. The five star review is for the service.
The entire staff was great. Welcoming and genuine. My server was attentive and didn't mind me practicing my Spanish with her. 😆😆.

When you step into the restaurant immediately you feel comfortable! Not a huge dining area but decent, this place has soul!! I ordered biscuits and gravy, with a side of cheese eggs and sausage! Hands down my favorite Breakfast Spot! I have been to many restaurants in Sanford for breakfast. I would put this one on Top!!! The biscuits taste like they are def homemade, and the prices are right, I normally finish my food but I was so stuffed. I left an entire essay about this because I'm very satisfied. Don't plan on eating anywhere else for breakfast!
