Buttermilk Eatery is set to debut its third location in the former Urban Brew and BBQ spot in St. Petersburg’s Grand Central District.
The restaurant already has two locations in Pinellas County, one in Brighton Bay and the other in Pinellas Park. The Grand Central District outpost is projected to open in early summer, according to director of operations Heather Holland.
Traditionally a breakfast, brunch and lunch restaurant, the new spot plans to offer expanded hours, a full bar and possibly an early dinner service down the road, Holland said by phone Wednesday.
Buttermilk Eatery serves mainly American breakfast classics: pancakes, country fried steak and eggs, omelets and Benedicts, with a selection of handhelds like BLTs.
Renovations are planned for the exterior of the property, including an Instagram-ready photo area, updated patio lounge and yard games such as giant Jenga.
Some signature dishes like the Dubai Dreamstack will be carried over to the new location, and the eponymous buttermilk pancakes and waffles will be on its menu.
Expect brunch to be a focus at the Grand Central location with bottomless mimosas.
Robots may even deliver the mimosas.
Buttermilk Eatery employs robots at its current locations to assist servers with expediting food and drinks.
