We waited for 2 hours on the wait list. The waitress was AWESOME, but she should have noticed that we barely ate because our food was cold. The beignets were doughy, bacon was drenched in grease, pancakes were overcooked, scrambled eggs tasted like they came out of a box, hash browns were square dry pieces served in a bowl (not edible) and my poached eggs on my Eggs Benedict were hard boiled. I've never had a breakfast out that everything was awful. Worse $50.00 breakfast ever! read more

Horrible host staff. Don't pay attention to the order of check in and get snappy when you ask about your wait time. They had room at the bar and only offers it to us after we raised a stink about. Don't think I will be back to this location again read more

We went to brunch at noon on a Saturday and it was packed per usual. It was not an issue for us because we had used the handy Waitlist option to reserve seats ahead of time and we were seated right in time. I have been coming to the location for years and not once have I had a bad experience. The customer service from the hostess to the servers is phenomenal. I ordered the cinnamon roll French toast with eggs and maple chicken sausage and my partner had Banana Foster pancakes with the same sides! We also ordered beignets! They are so good there. The food was delicious per usual and filling. I took some to go. read more

Great spot in Ballantyne for brunch! Large space, bar seating, efficient service. We went at 11:15am on Sunday. The online waitlist quoted 30min, but it was much shorter actual wait time. We ended up sitting at the bar though, just out of preference. We had the Abe Bloody (perfectly crispy bacon, delicious pickled okra, great flavor with perfect spice) and cranberry mimosa for drinks. I don't typically like Bloody Marys but this one was very tasty. For food we had the: * lemon blueberry goat cheese pancakes with scrambled cheesy eggs and bacon: I was actually surprised at how good the eggs were. In my opinion, restaurant eggs can be weird sometimes but these were truly cooked well and had a home cooked flavor. The bacon, again, perfectly crisp! The pancakes were good, though I think I would opt for the plain buttermilk with berries next time. I thought the lemon, goat cheese, and blueberries would be cooked INTO the pancakes, but they were all toppings. Still good, just not what I expected. * crab cake Benedict with city grits: the grits were very tasty! Creamy, savory, topped with bacon bits, tomatoes, and green onions. The crab cakes were cooked well, and had a nice mild flavor (not an aggressively fishy/crab taste). The eggs were done to my personal preference, though my husband would have preferred them a little less done. To each his own. Overall, great food, great service, great location (for us) for short wait time and not having to fight the south end/uptown crowd. Definitely will come back! read more

This place is delicious! I came on a sunday morning and got sat right away. Server was great and very friendly. I forgot what his name was, oops! I ordered the city grits and a side of turkey sausage links. City grits were amazing. I'm not a huge grits fan but with all the added toppings to it, I couldn't resist. It has bacon, green onions and tomatoes on topped. I added a bit of hot sauce to it and it was amazing!! I will definitely get that again!! Turkey sausage links were good, but a bit pricey for what you got. My husband got an omelette thought it was good. Came with potatoes. He added salsa to it and was pretty pleased. Our friend got got sausage and gravy biscuits with scrambled eggs and ate the whole thing. Our other friend got the benedict and loved it!! I will definitely come back! read more

Okay I have to admit upfront that I was not overly excited about trying yet another unspectacular chain breakfast restaurant and did not have the highest of expectations walking in here mid-morning on a Tuesday. I did so thanks to a BOGO coupon. I ordered the Salmon & Raw Kale Salad and it was surprisingly good. The ample serving of salmon steak was both seasoned and cooked well. The light dressing over the kale was sweet and tangy however I did encounter a few pieces with brown spots. Avoiding such is always a challenge with kale even at home. My buddy ordered the Sausage Chorizo Omelet with hash browns. Despite being a bit dry it was acceptable and plentiful. Service was fair as waitress seemed young and inexperienced. Atmosphere was relaxed and attractive. It did exceed my expectations but in this case that means it was just fair to good. Glad I tried it but probably won't be back simply because there are just too many better options. read more

Very good for the brunch rotation. The prices are competitive to the local brunch market with the average eggs benedict costing $13. The salted ham they have is outrageous and worth a trip! read more

Another disappointment. Went here for Breakfast. 4 people. All of our food came out cold. The manager offered to remake anything, however the food was not that good so it wouldn't have mattered if it was hot or cold. I've been to the Broken egg in Siesta key Florida and this one doesn't come close. Very disappointed. read more

Always a great meal and a great time!!! The city grits are a must try when you visit. I'm partial to the mimosas I have tried ever flavor and they are all AMAZING!! We always start with the Beignets which outside of NOLA are the best around. The crab cakes are to die for and a favorite of mine. Really you can't go wrong with anything on the menu read more

My husband and I were looking for a breakfast "date spot" when we came across Another Broken Egg Cafe. We visited one of their Houston locations and decided to check this one out. The first time we went there was a bit of a wait but the food was excellent! We have been back every Sunday since and we now use the wait-in-line feature on Yelp to hold our place. We have found our new "date spot"! read more

This was my first time visiting and the food was delicious. The syrup was nice and hot, chicken was decently seasoned and the grits were nice amd creamy. We were seated quickly and our waitress was attentive amd friendly. They are COVID minded with additional barriers for booth seating. I went with my girlfriends for a girl's day out and the only thing we missed out on were Mimosas by the pitcher..lol. We will definitely be back again. read more

Yelp find. Here to see the family and I ventured out to support the local businesses. Everything on the menu sounded yummy, I was in the mood for eggs but also wanted some spice. I chose the Eggs Blackstone Benedict with a side of City Grits. The grits were a pleasant surprise. Light and fluffy, not gritty and gross. Mild flavored too. I requested the eggs be over medium, they were perfect! Needed some spice though. My waitress was a doll. read more

Food is good but not great! The wait time from when we sat down to food arrival was over 45 mins. This is unacceptable. Ambience is below average. Prices are steep. We were a party of 3 1adult, 17 year old and 12 year old. Simple breakfast plus drinks was over $60. I'll stick to other family owned restaurants in the area. read more

Painfully slow service (and they weren't busy). When we questioned why it was taking so long to get our food, the server became rude and beligerent. When she finally brought our food, she literally threw the plates on the table (no joke) and walked away cussing us. We have NEVER had anything like that happen before! That woman has no business being a server, and frankly she should be fired. We definitely will not dine there again. read more

We ordered chilaquiles and didn't get tortillas (main ingredient) of the dish. Where is the quality of what you are selling?

Very excited to try this place as we had never been before. This location is huge and we had no wait for a table this Sunday morning. Our waitress was efficient and friendly. The food was excellent and no complaints at all. The biscuit beignets were out of this world served warm with homemade marmalade. It was the favorite part of our entire meal but not free so you have to pay for them (I would eat the whole plate myself if they were free). Hubby went with the Floridian omelet that comes with breakfast potatoes. He had a side of Andouille sausage and was very pleased with his meal. I went all out and had the Cinnamon roll French toast, which was delicious as well. The hand glazed mugs they use for coffee are very cute and you can purchase them. My only complaint is that it was a very expensive breakfast with the sides we ordered, and not something we would do all of the time. read more

Ecclectic Creative Breakfast Menu First time we went to an Another Broken Egg Cafe was earlier this summer in Vinings Ga when we went down for our Grandson's birthday and baptism. Enjoyed it and since we were down in the Ballentyne area, decided to give this one a try as well. Biggest difference between the Vinings locaiton and this one is the level of energy. Vinings appers to be smaller and more crowded so the servers have to be more fast paced. This location is bit more spread out and the pace of the service is a bit slower but this would only be a problem if you were on a tight time budget. That said, it's not slow service but rather, you don't feel quite as rushed. My wife ordered a Veggie Burger with a side of Fruit. She like both and was particulary pleased that the side of fruit had more than just melons in it. In Vinings, she had had an omelet that was called a Floridian which looked great so I tired that for breakfast. It's a stuffed omelet with Cream Cheese as one of the filling and it was indeed very good. It's a good menu and the food is well prepared and excellent service. Ballentyne is a bit of a hike from Cornelius, but next time we are in the area, we will be back. read more

I came for brunch over the weekend and the service was good. The food was just okay. I ordered the Hey Lucy omelette which comes with avocado, chorizo, onions, green chilies and then topped with cheddar jack cheese. Well...mine didn't have the cheese (see photo) but overall the dish was just missing something. It comes with a side of salsa and sour cream but i still needed something more. Seasoning? Flavor? For my side, I chose the country potatoes and they were cold - but I did sample the city grits so if I return I'd chose that side instead of the potatoes. Overall, the food for me was just two stars. But everyone was so friendly so I threw in an extra star. But this wouldn't be my main brunch spot. read more

Food is awesome -- if you can get seated. 1) I know waitstaff / servers / kitchen help is hard to come by these days ... but follow along. 2) Sundays are probably the worst days to try to get seated - 90 min wait is commonplace for them 3) We had out of town family surprise us for President's Day weekend-thought we'd grab brunch & then head out to Whitewater for a fun afternoon. 4) Arrived at 10, was put on the waiting list & told it would be a 90 min wait. The entire group was not present at 10, so we were ok with that. It was a party of 8. 5) At noon we were told we were the "next" large party to be SEATED. 6) We were finally seated & walked OUT of the restaurant at 2PM. Four hours later. Yes, we could have gone elsewhere but has anyone tried going out to eat lately? Wait times are like this everywhere. Just know that ABE on Sundays are probably not the place to be .... At least until people start going back to work. No matter how good food is, service like this ruins it. ***Update: I was contacted by management for them to gain better understanding of the issues we faced. I was strongly advised to return and use the waiting list on line feature. I'm happy to report that I did return on 3/6/22 and everything was much smoother. Here's to hoping it will always be this way! read more

We went for Sunday brunch around 12....expect a wait it was about 45 minutes! The frustrating thing about the wait was they had tons of empty tables so I think they just need to better manage their staff or maybe they were short staffed that day? We finally sat down and ordered a strawberry lemonade vodka drink which was yummy but pricey ($7) and of course being born in louisiana had to get beignets! The beignets were good and served with a fruit jelly of some sort (they didn't say). I ordered the lobster brie omelet which came with potatoes or grits and an English muffin. I got potatoes which were perfectly crispy and so good! The omelet had cream cheese inside and lobster and brie on top...it was amazing! I would go back and have a hard time not ordering this again even though so many other things look good! read more

I really like this place. Everyone there is always super friendly and nice. They have a great little outdoor area that is dog friendly, so don't forget to bring your pups! I've been here a couple of times and the service is always great. Last time I was here I got the berry pancakes and I love fruit and I love pancakes, but I just wasn't a fan of this. I ate out all of the berries but the batter was really different, and a little too sugary for my liking. My husband loved his omelet though. Their food is very fresh and their fruit is always really fresh and good. It's usually busy inside so if you want to eat immediately you might want to call ahead. Overall, the service is great and most of the food is really good too. read more

My dining mate and I had breakfast here and we were not disappointed. The restaurant is open for breakfast and lunch features a wonderful assortment of dishes from specialty pancakes , waffles, a variety of egg dishes, breakfast cereals and yogurts, and sides such as biscuits, grits, country potatoes, and a variety of sausages etc. Brunch features burgers and salads and other brunch specialties such as crab cakes, chicken and waffles, shrimp and grits and specialty omelettes etc. Menu prices moderate, good portions, food plated nicely came out hot. Our breakfast bill for 2, was around $35. Our waiter was friendly and accommodating and offered to suggest customer favorites. The atmosphere comfortable. We both ordered the smoked salmon benedict on a bagel which was delicious. The coffee was great but pricey. As a matter of fact the coffee cups were made in the US and were on sale for about $19 a coffee cup and $25 for a cappuccino cup. We would certainly return agian and try another menu choice for a special breakfast. A kids menu is also available. I read other reviews but ours was very positive with our visit. read more

First time there...after waiting almost an hour for a table for 2, the menu was just ok, no specialty coffee which is not a big deal but I was looking forward to. The service was mediocre at best. After our server took our order we didn't see her again for coffee or anything until she came back with our food. They never came back to see if we needed anything etc and then we had to wait another long while just to get our check. In the meantime, staff kept walking by our table empty handed and nobody bothered to clear our table. I'd much rather go to Le Peep next time. read more

First visit. My mother is in town so I made a week of visiting places I've never been. Mom wanted breakfast so I took here here since I've heard good things and pass it often in the evening (when the restaurant is closed.) It took a few minutes to be acknowledged and seated. Once seated, the server was quick with the drink order. Unfortunately, the specialty coffee machine was broken. The food was fresh and delivered within ten minutes. I got the chicken and waffles. The chicken was flavorful and crispy, unfortunately a bit dry and over cooked. Then waffle was sweet so I ate it with butter only. I don't review other people's food but in this case I will. My mom had the Floridian omelet which is a cream cheese filled omelet topped with crab meat. My mom didn't like the crab so I tasted it. It tasted old or like it was close to being spoiled. She let our server know and my mom got a replacement omelet without the crab. The server gave a discount on the omelet so she was charged for a cheese omelet. I will definitely think of visiting this place for breakfast or brunch in the future. read more

Decided to try Another Broken Egg Café while in the area. The staff was super friendly and the décor reminded me of a New Orleans café. The first time visiting this place; my order started with a mimosa and beignets. The texture of the beignets was harder than expected. They could've been more light and airy. It didn't scare me off! When the waitress came back I ordered the Hey Lucy! Omelette (cooked w/egg white) and it was delicious! The waitress excitement about how much she like the Hey Lucy! was a reason to try it. Also, I love avocado! The omelette is filled with breakfast chorizo (crumbed sausage), avocado, sautéed onions, and green chilies. Also, topped with cheese, side of English muffin, sour cream and salsa. I decided to revisit Another Broken Egg with a friend because of my first experience. This time I ordered the Black Bean Benedict with another mimosa. The taste wasn't to my liking! The black bean benedict should be altered because it was to much going on with that dish.I sent it back!!! Just for the record the waitress was kind and understanding~ She simply asked if I would like to reorder and I did. My breakfast date ordered the Bananas Foster French Toast with coffee. The Banana Foster French Toast was amazing!!! The thick sliced Hawaiian bread was topped with a New Orleans-style Foster sauce, fresh bananas, pecans and whipped cream. SO DELICIOUS!! So how did I come up with giving this place 4 stars? The overall experience was pleasant. Both times the staff was extremely friendly, the mimosa was on point, and the food was pretty good. I will definitely revisit this place over a few local breakfast restaurants/cafe. The plan during my next visit is to stick with what I enjoyed the most. I will reorder a mimosa, either a different omelette, simple eggs, grits, fruit, or even the famous Bananas Foster French Toast. Remember everyone preference of flavors in food is not always the same! By the way the mimosas are the best!! read more

Amazing food! Great staff! I always get the Shrimp & Grits. I do recommend making a reservation, ahead of time -- we waited 2 hours.

I was in the area and wanted some breakfast and felt like going somewhere other than Waffle House or Ihop. My server was really nice, and actually started a conversation with me; probably since I was alone at the bar. I ordered the Hey Lucy omelette which had breakfast chorizo, avocado, and cheddar cheese. It was served with sour cream and salsa on the side, and also an english muffin. I had the choice of potatoes or grits. Honestly, I had a higher expectation for the food but it was still good.The only issue I had which is unorthodox was the speed that my food came out. Yes, it was warm but it was just a flag to me. read more

For the second weekend in a row. Our family had breakfast here. It was ok, there will not be a 3 visit.

I enjoyed my visit here, I got chicken and waffles. The chipotle syrup for the meal had a little kick to it. The chicken can be a little more moist but overall it was enjoyable to eat. Got a side of Home fries and they tasted good. I'd def go back to this location for breakfast and Brunch. Service was quick didn't have a wait. Super cute interior. read more
