The only place open in downtown Fort Lauderdale before 10 a.m., Old Fort Lauderdale Breakfast House serves up locals and last night's bar crowd hearty homemade-style breakfast .

OB House is unique. You might get the feeling that you're at a Bed & Breakfast . Ask to sit along the front windows, a view of Esplanade Park can be seen. Take home a fresh baked muffin for later! Read more

Great place, but they don't have a liquor license, so you'll have to settle for a Sake Bloody Mary (not good). The Eggs Benedict w/Lump Blue Crab & spinach was great and the pancake is truly unique.

Bluebeard

Best damn grits I've ever had. The staff were all smiles, very courteous, food was amazing and the huge toast makes Texas toast look like a mini slice of bread . Highly recommended!!!!

Jennifer Bohmann

This is hands down my favorite breakfast place. I think the people are super friendly . They do get packed on the weekends. The food is fresh and yummy. There is not a bad thing on the menu.

Chaz Pike

D-clawed omelette is awesome!!! Great breakfast , no kids menu though. Grits are great, as well as the OB hollandaise . Thick slices of bread , dog friendly .

VisitLauderdale

Go ahead and sleep in. Get free-range eggs and homemade bread for breakfast - served weekdays until 2 pm and weekends until 3 pm.

Fort Lauderdale Magazine

Get to know the staff , visit often and have the best dining experience in Fort Lauderdale! Great food!

Melissa Ainslie

Now open for dinner . BLT salad , fish dip , Mac & mahi , and mahi popeye were all delicious. As was the chocolate icebox cake for dessert . Service was also much friendlier than usual

Keegan Hitchcock

Almost always busy. Kinda elitist attitude & high priced. BUT, more pleasant than negative experiences & its better each time (they're new). Food is fresh & delicious. Cheesegrits & bacon are great

Jose Ayala

The best breakfast I've ever had, though also probably one of the most expensive ! Try the pancakes ... Out of this world!

aj

Try the pancake , even if just a small one. You will not regret it. The orange juice is also out of this world, freshly squeezed: 8-10 halves for a 16oz

Chris Policino

The new and improved menu and setup post 2020 is so great! Everything was delicious and the ordering system is easy. So happy for the revamp.

Gita Robb

Everything is always amazing!Totally reasonably priced, only a $10 corking fee, but you don't even need to byob since their wine is so well priced anyway.Please help keep them in business,they rock!

Beth York

if you're in fort lauderdale, venture on down las olas to the ob house. after you find parking and get through the waiting/hungry crowd, you're introduced to wonderful atmosphere & phenomenal food.

Diego Naranjo

The banana pancakes have to be the best pancakes I'ver EVER had. And I'm a pancake connoisseur!!! Give it a shot, it's worth the wait.

Naima Lynn

The gentlemen were nice, helpful. Service was spectacular. The setting really laid back and the food!!!! Yum! I recommend!

Greg Philippi

Orange juice is truly fresh squeezed and whole grain toast is healthy and still awesome! Hard to find healthy breakfast items in Fort Lauderdale try them here!

Jason Rowley

The bacon is out of this world delicious. See also: the BLT, which is as big as your head.

Mariela Aguilera

Not bad & service wasn't as bad as described! Food wise the grits were great, but order a side if bacon and crush it into it. French toast ... not bad, & the mahi sandwich was tasty. Overall decent.

Greg Philippi

The Chicken Sausage are EXCELLENT w a unique flavor - very much handcrafted !

Chris Fullman

The open face steak sandwich is awesome. Add a little A1 and you're golden!

Danya Jimenez

OVERPRICED. Food is good but prices. Be prepared to pay $30+ per person for breakfast

Andrea Stern

Best breakfast ever. Poached eggs are delicious

John DeFelice

Owner/Chef Ron Ely was a total clown when we complained about the hour wait for our food. He sent a busboy to the table w cookies and could not even muster an apology. He needs to stay in the kitchen

Tatianna

OB House servers are friendly & the food is good, but the wait is way too long and all the rules are arbitrary & ridiculous. Wouldn't recommend!

Izzy Pagan Jr.

Need to try the Anchor Breakfast . Yummy Mahi with eggs .
