Tom Winter, owner of Fresh 2 Order in Johns Creek, boasts that his restaurant has the best brunch in town, and he might just be right. On Sunday morning the eatery offers an array of breakfast items that will satisfy any appetite.
With a mission of providing hungry patrons with gourmet food in less than 10 minutes for around $10, F2O, has solidified itself as a lunch staple in Johns Creek. This concept is what drew Winter and his wife Heather to the restaurant franchise in the first place.
“It is healthy food, and a fresh idea,” said Heather. “We wanted to be at the upper end of causal dining.”
The Winters have accomplished their lunch goal and now are poised to expand on their original concept by providing hungry patrons with not only healthy lunches but an impressive dinner menu and Sunday brunch.
Each week Tom and his staff prepare familiar brunch items with a twist, as well as secret recipes and Winter family favorites.
The brunch buffet includes a Belgium waffle bar and southern style cheese grits.
However, the establishment has also put a new spin on old favorites by creating unique dishes like cinnamon raisin cream cheese toast, and Tom’s secret family recipe “Corn Puddin.”
F2O has also mixed things up by making even basic brunch staples unique by frying up bacon in a secret blend of brown sugar, and shipping in bagels fresh from a New York Deli.
They have also staffed the buffet with an omelet expert who will make the perfect omelet to exact specifications. The restaurant also provides customers with premium lattes and cappuccinos.
The establishment also provides an Internet connection for wandering WiFi customers who might want to conduct business over a meal.
“Every week we bring out something different,” said Tom.
The quality of the food is also impressive, F20 Manager Mark Jackson said fresh produce is brought in fresh to the store daily.
“We work to maintain consistency where food is concerned. We work to promote freshness, and the quality of the food. The main thing is quality, that is top,” said Jackson.
The staff also prepares soups daily.
“If we are promoting fresh, like our name says, we don’t stock pile produce,” said Jackson.
The staff at F2O is constantly working to expand on their already impressive menu by adding new dishes. Tom said he hopes to have convenient breakfast items on weekdays.
Another thing that sets F2O apart is the attention to providing customers with exactly what they want. Tom surveyed 300 customers, 82 percent of them said they would like a dinner menu with table service. The restaurant has created a dinner menu that includes unique dishes like Seared Tuna Steak and Avocado Crab Encrusted Salmon. Along with dinner, customers can enjoy chef specials and top-end beer and wines.
Beginning soon, F2O will resume their Saturday night summer concert series on the spacious restaurant patio.
