The food was ok, but nothing spectacular. The eggs Benedict didn't have a proper hollandaise sauce - it was more of a cream. And don't get me started on the water they serve. It literally comes out of the kitchen's sink and has strong notes of chlorine, fluoride, copper, and other minerals characteristic of bad tap water. I couldn't even mask the foul taste with a lemon. Owners, if you're reading this, please, we're all begging you, invest a small amount of money in a water filter. It makes a huge difference in the taste of the water - and it is healthier for you, too. read more

The shrimp and grits here is the BOMB!!! I hate we don't have one where I live in Daytona Beach, FL. This a must place to visit. The food is awesome and fresh. If u ever get chance to visit a location do so. read more

Granted, we just moved to the area, so this is our first visit to this restaurant, but I was not impressed. Given the egregious wait times, I felt certain that the food would be amazing. It was not. The beignets were dry, cold, and overcooked, as were the hash browns. My omelet was plain tasteless. The service was great, but even so, I don't think we'll be back. read more

After having a great time the night before, a few of us decided to visit Another Broken Egg for breakfast. Being upfront, I judge breakfast on Biscuits and Gravy. We knew that a Saturday morning could be problematic so we called ahead to see if we could get reservations. The answer was no, but the waitress was able to put us down on the "call ahead list". When we got there the place was packed, so I'm glad we did get on that list. We were seated right away and after ordering caffeine, everyone else ordered an omelet type dish, while I ordered my signature biscuits and gravy. When the food came not too long after my meal also had an egg, English muffin, and bacon. The biscuits and gravy were ok, nothing to write home about. I was actually jealous of everyone else's and they all said they were good. The bill ended up being around $15, which is kind of pricey for breakfast. I probably wouldn't come back for the biscuits and gravy, but i might try again for those omelets. read more

The worse breakfast food in Charlotte, omelete was nearly burnt, chicken was clearly old, waffle was hard, and fruit came out brown like it has been sitting out for days. I would not recommend this place to anyone. A complete waste of money. I wish I could give it zero stars read more

Had a bit of time before work so I decided to give this place a try. I asked the waitress for recommendations. She told me that everything was good except the Sausage Patties. I didn't see Turkey bacon on the menu & I haven't eaten the yolk of an egg in so long and now have an intolerance for it so I ordered the Skinny Omelet, sub Goat Cheese for Parmesan. The omelet was mediocre. Looked like something I could make at home. And they just kind of threw some parmesan cheese on top instead of cooking it into the omelet or even inside the fold. Also i couldnt find a single Garlic Clove. No effort at all. I saw some other omelets that I'd like to try on the menu but the little omelet I got today came to $12 & wasn't even that great. I think I'll stick to the Omelets at The Flying Biscuit in this area for now. read more

Another Broken Egg Cafe - Skinny Omelet sub Goat Cheese for Parmesan, no English Muffin, extra Fruit instead. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

I was thrilled to see a new restaurant in the location Skillets had occupied on Community House Road. I was even more thrilled to find a coupon for a free omelette in my mailbox. So I decided to hike on over and take a taste. That was a mistake. I took a seat at the counter and perused the menu. Omelettes and eggs benedict occupied most of the menu, all at prices of $10 and over. All of the omelette options were unusual and I didn't see a make your own option. As I watched food come out of the kitchen, it seemed very disorganized. The staff don't appear to have any system under control just yet. I went with Stan's #1 - an omelette with shrimp, crawfish, ham mushrooms and cheese. It was not something I would normally order, but for free, I was willing to give it a shot, as I liked all of the ingredients in forms other than omelettes. I asked them to make sure the eggs were cooked, as i hate runny eggs. When the dish arrived, it was bone dry. The crawfish tasted old and the shrimp was about the only edible part of the creation. Unlike the omelette, the english muffin that came with it was not crispy. The highlight of the meal were the seasoned country potatoes, which were salty but good. Had I been paying for the dish, I would have sent it back and gotten something else. When I got my bill, I was stunned to discover the charge for my unsweet tea was $2.69! Really?! So glad I got the to-go cup. Because of the convenience of the location, I may try it again, but no more omelettes for me. Can't recommend this place at this time. read more

This is a nice looking establishment. Food is perfect for white Americans. Unseasoned. People of color and taste buds would consider this bland food. Northern Caucasian people friendly. I asked other negro people their thoughts as well. They concurred. All the best. read more

When this place was Skillets, we came on several occasions and it was always hit or miss. So, when we found out Skillets had closed and a new restaurant was coming in, we had high hopes that this place would be even better than Skillets. After my visit, I don't think that is going to be the case. On my visit, the food was properly prepared and nothing was outright bad, but it wasn't great either. It was ok. However, I thought the menu options were "meh" and the prices were a bit higher than other comparable breakfast/brunch places in the area. I opted to go with the veggie omelet which included spinach, goat cheese, mushrooms, and diced tomatoes. (I think it was either 8.99 or 9.99) This comes with potatoes and an English muffin. The first couple of bites of my omelet were sort of bland because the ingredients were sort of clumped together instead of being spread throughout the omelet. One thing that was disappointing is that it was sort of "watery" (?!) and I had to move my English muffin away from the omelet so it wouldn't get soggy... not good! But as I got to the center of the omelet, I actually began to get some of the flavors from the goat cheese & veggies that improved the overall taste. As the other reviewers have mentioned, the potatoes taste like bland frozen potatoes... definitely needs improvement! Also, the English muffin was "meh" as well. They should serve a better quality of English muffin. Also, they don't leave the jams/jellies on the table, so you will have to request it. On the "plus side", our service was pretty good, I thought the portion size was ok, and we did not have a long wait to be seated. Another plus is that they do not charge an upcharge if you want your omelet made from egg whites (many other places do charge extra for that). I would consider giving this place another try if I had a great coupon or some other incentive. But quite honestly, I would be more inclined to go to Le Peep or Brigs before coming back here... read more

WATCH YOUR RECEIPT! We had breakfast here last Sunday 3/13 and as I am looking back at my Visa bill and The staff took the liberty of raising my tip from $6 to $10. If you need the money that bad you can keep the four bucks and I hope it was worth it as I WILL NOT be returning. The food was just about average and the service was very slow. I'll be going back to Stacks or maybe First Watch. Both of which will give you more for your money. And, that's what we all need today! read more

We just had the pleasure of dining here again this morning and as always the food, service and atmosphere was incredible. Our server Michelle V. (#706) was very friendly and service was spot on. The leadership that the manager Veronica is incredible and shows through the colleagues that work for her. We love coming here and if you have not been there, then you are missing out. If you get a chance try their new brisket Benedict or the Nee Orleans omelet. You will not be disappointed with either. read more

I've gone here about twice only because I really wanted to some grits and a biscuit. Neither were that great. The grits: overly salted, lumpy, and too runny. The biscuit: decent enough as far as biscuits go. Didn't disappoint but didn't delight me either. The potatoes: way too salty for my taste. Maybe I'm sensitive to salt, but you guys really need to monitor that. I know it's breakfast food but at least be mindful of the sodium. I had no problems with the service on each of my visit, but I'm unlikely to return again. read more

I was highly disappointed with this place after hearing some good things. Everything on the menu is disgustingly expensive. I got the crab, cream cheese, and brie omelette. The crabmeat was very greasy, or maybe it was from the abundance of cheese. It definitely wasn't worth over $10. The service was pretty slow even though there was only one other table in the restaurant. I was just really upset that I paid so much for not being satisfied. I would not recommend. read more

Waited at front for ten minutes without anyone greeting or seating us. Went looking for someone to help us. Once seated another ten minutes and no one came to offer coffee. We left and went to the Gallery Resturant next door where we were treated like a wanted guest and the food was awesome. read more

I ordered the gluten-free blueberry pancakes for my girlfriend who cannot tolerate any gluten. We've been going here for multiple times throughout the summer without issues. On the past two times in August and today, the pancakes made her nauseous and vomit minutes after being eaten. I don't know if the cooks decided to change things up with the recipe or just don't care it's supposed to be gluten-free but I'm sad to say we both will avoid coming to Another Broken Egg Cafe again. Celiac or gluten-insensitive patrons should avoid dining in. read more

This place is super cute, family friendly, clean, and all around happy feeling. Besides the poached eggs being REALLY runny, everything was great. Props for the pickled okra on the Bloody Mary read more

Went on a Friday morning and was seated immediately. I had the super omelette with potatoes and grits. Everything was great, well seasoned. The grits were nice and creamy. My date had the crab cakes and fried tomatoes, my food was so good that I forgot to ask her how the crab cakes were. The fried green tomatoes were so sweet and the breeding was perfect. We received good portions of everything. read more

Another Broken Egg Cafe - Menu is full of options! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

We actually first tried this place in ATL and wasn't impressed as the service sucked and we were nickled and dimed for every little thing from the syrup on the side (warm) to the separation of the fruit from the waffle (REALLY?!).. We were totally turned off and planned to never visit again however one morning we saw that the old breakfast restaurant (which we didn't like) had change to Another Broken Egg & decided to try it in NC. The service was good, the hostess was welcoming and prompt to acknowledge and sit us. We found some great options on the menu and the waiter was very accommodating. The food was not the best but it was food and edible. I had a egg white omelet with veggies and rye toast that came out untoasted which the manager quickly took it back and toasted the bread for me. My husband had the same and my daughter had the pancakes with a side of scrambled eggs with cheese and some bacon (she is the only pork eater in the family). I wouldn't make having breakfast here a DEFINITE but I wouldn't object if invited. I have other places that are much better with food taste within distance that I would eat at if I had a choice. However if in the area (on that block or in the parking lot) definitely check them out for breakfast food which is all that we tried. read more

Ok,nothing great. My waitress was super, rest of the staff was average and not really friendly. Bring a sweater, it's cold inside .... cannot stay for more than 20 min. read more

Yum yummy! This place was delicious. Friendly staff, quick service, and good food. I enjoyed my breakfast. I really liked the grits. It's someplace I would go back to if I'm ever in the area again. read more

See all

We had a 7 person party. We were told 30 minutes for the wait but our table wasn't ready till an hour in and that was only because we kept asking about our table. We could see that there were a lot of tables free, but no employees cleaning and readying them; some tables remained unattended for more than 15 minutes. Then, when were were seated, we had to wait almost another hour before the food was brought out. The avocado toast was not toasted and the crawfish was most certainly spoiled. read more

Food is excellent. And it was not congested like the usual Saturday morning restaurants. read more

Another Broken Egg Cafe - Stan's Omelette with city grits! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Since we ditched our car here New Year's Eve after dinner went back to retrieve it in need of a hangover breakfast and this place fit the bill for that. I went with the southwest scramble which comes with soft tortillas for making breakfast tacos. Really enjoyed it. I went with the grits though I really wanted to have the city grits which I would do next time. I had the city grits at another location and they are a treat. A little bacon grease tends to make grits better, who knew. Coffee was solid and service was good. read more

My husband went to Another Broken Egg in Louisana and really liked it. So, he was excited to see them expanding into Charlotte. When we heard that this location and South Park had both opened, we read the reviews on both and decided to try South Park first based on the unfavorable reviews for this location. (I've posted a review for the South Park location, too) However, when we received a Coupon deal, we decided to give this location a try since it's significantly closer to home. We're so glad we did! The service was excellent and the food was delicious! Thankfully, we didn't experience any of the issues that have been posted here! My husband and I are trying watch our waistlines so we decided to share a dish. We had the Huevos Rancheros and it was delicious and more than enough for us to share. We also ordered a side of fruit and was pleasantly surprised by the fruit selection...fresh raspberries, sliced cantaloupe, sliced kiwi, and sliced pears. The fruit was very fresh and quite substantial for a "side". The coffee was also quite good. Next time we visit, I will be sure to take a picture of the Heuvos Rancheros to post here. It looked as fantastic as it tasted! Our server was very friendly and attentive. She was also happy to answer the handful of questions that we had about the menu. During our meal, the Manager also stopped by our table to check on us and to ask if we enjoyed our meal. She was very friendly, too! The prices here are comparable to other local breakfast restaurants. So, no complaints there either. I do need to say...I wish that Yelp had the option of giving a 1/2 star, because I probably would have gone with 4.5 stars instead of 4 and only for one reason....all of the food is fresh, but it appears that the breakfast potatoes are not made fresh. Don't get me wrong, they were still very tasty and we ate them all, but fresh potatoes really would have kicked the rating to 5 stars for me. So let me say...in my opinion, this should be a 4.5 star rating, but that wasn't an option...so I need to go with 4 stars. If they had fresh potatoes, the rating would have been 5 stars. We've been searching for a go-to breakfast place for several years and it looks like we may have found it. Finally! I can only hope that our future visits will be as good as our first one was. (Keeping fingers crossed!) read more

I've passed this location multiple times and I regret not stopping by sooner, everything was spot on . My server Richardo was attentive his suggestions were excellent, we had the bacquezo which is a cream cheese filled bacon and chorizo omelette. The omelette was super tasty and rich and filled with lots of bacon, I'm coming back just for that. My husband got the delicious cinnamon roll French toast which was topped with cream cheese frosting and fresh berries, if you have a sweet tooth than it's definitely for you. I recommend this spot if you're looking for both exceptional food and service read more

No stars. Should not be affiliated with ABE Cafe's found along the Gulf Coast. Hard beignets, burnt toast, lukewarm food with no garnishment. Steak N Shake has much better skillets! Service is okay. Obvious why there is no wait during peak brunch times. We went on a Saturday and the place was a ghost town. read more

Great food always! Sundays are extremely busy once it hits 10:30am, but that is expected. Service has never disappointed!

Just okay. It's not bad but nothing memorable. I'm still in search of a yummy, deliciously original dishes that aren't always just southern. Something with a flare maybe. Wish I could move some of my old favorite brunch places from my old town to here. Charlotte could use some original places. read more

This has been one of my favorite breakfast spots. Today was not a great day for this morning. Food was solid, but the service was very spotty. I sat at the bar and no one said nothing to me for a good 15mins. I get it if they we're busy, but that wasn't the case. read more

!!!MUST TRY THIS RESTAURANT!!!!! So I eat here almost every Monday morning! I love the restaurant and the staff are very friendly, great atmosphere (not dark I hate dark restaurants), and the food is outstanding I've never had anything bad. For the most part it's a very fast paced place, get in and get out. It can get a little congested at time but that is expected with such a popular restaurant! I also love the fact they have fresh coffee and the Location of where the coffee is from is changed every six months! So give this place a try!! read more

I personally have been to this location twice; let me say the interior is beautiful, very colorful and lively.. Unfortunately, I just didnt particularly care for the food or the service. I went the first time with my entire family to try it out, I ordered the crab cake benedict... I was very disappointed... in fact I didn't eat it all. The service was mediocre.. In passing and on the way to taking my daughter to work one morning I thought I would give this location another try... Why?? I should have learned from the initial visit . My daughter and I both felt the same way. The waitress seemed as if she wasn't really interested in serving us and the food was really not all that good. read more

I had amazing service today Dana Brown was very attentive. I would not come back unless she is my server!

Good but overpriced. Spent $36 Same as IHOP where I spend $20 for 2 people. Service was excellent and buttermilk pancakes were amazing read more

I have to start off by saying this, I don't really do breakfast. Because of that, when my family does breakfast, it is a large group of people (15+) that descend upon a restaurant and cause havoc for everyone involved. With that being said, I found ABE a very nice break from the normal restaurant feel. Upon walking into the restaurant, you realize that there are several rooms spread about the interior, giving a smaller restaurant feel when you are seated. The menu is a little limited, however every one of the offerings we had were nicely prepared and seasoned properly. The menu prices seemed a little on the steep side for breakfast, but as the food came out, I realized that the serving sizes were appropriate for the pricing. All in all, everyone was quite pleased with the food that they received, and was extremely happy with the staff that took care of us. read more

I finally got to try this restaurant in Charlotte and will definitely go back to the Raleigh location. The menu has lots of options and everything looked great. I got an omelette which was very good- also liked their potatoes and andouille sausage. The gluten free pancake and egg scrambles were also great. If you go, do NOT pass up the beignet appetizer! It was very popular at our table! Looking forward to trying more options here. read more

Our server Ricardo M was so sweet and very helpful. Even when other customers seemed to be giving him a hard time he approached us with a smile. He made sure we were happy without being intrusive. Also the egg Benedict was super good read more

This place was fantastic. We had a group of ~20 people for a family reunion. Service was quick and attentive, food was AMAZING and reasonably priced. I tried the lemon blueberry goat cheese pancakes - they were stuffed with the berries and cheese and didn't even need syrup or butter. I'll definitely be returning when I come back to the area since there isn't one in MD! read more

Nice cute and clean establishment. Staff has always been nice. Prices are decent. However the food is a little bland.. salt and pepper is hip. read more

Great weekday breakfast for the companies nearby - service has always been pretty good and coffee is good!!! They offer mini beignets which are "ok" - but I'd suggest skipping and ordering your meal - it comes quick, so there's no need for the "breakfast appetizer" ;) I think some of the staff came from Briggs, which is good - I always loved that place. I've never ordered the gluten free pancake here, but I hear it's fantastic - I always get the oh-so-reliable omelette.... Tasty and HOT! My son (toddler) gets the oatmeal and eats every last bite (it's the good oatmeal - none of that quick oats nonsense! read more
