This was my first time eating from here, and I will say the food I ordered was amazing! I did a pickup since I was in a hurry. I had the Cajun Shrimp Crawfish Omelette. The grits melt in your mouth! I love a good soft and moist bowl of grits. The omelette was prepared just right and filled with shrimp, catfish, red peppers, tomatoes and so many other yummy ingredients. This was definitely a great start to my day. The customer was top-notch, the establishment was clean and well lit. I will be visiting this location again soon:) read more

Yummmm! My cousin and I came here for brunch and this place did not disappoint. We went on a Saturday and we added our names to the waitlist and it stated 25-40 minutes, but when we arrived, we were seated immediately. This was about 11 am on a Saturday. My cousin ordered pancakes and I ordered the lobster and Brie omelette. The lobster was sweet and the cooked to perfection. The omelette was divine. The grits were nice and the right kind of thick. The English muffin came on the side. It could've been toasted, but it was just the muffin. Good but toasted I believe it would've been better. Then I had the blueberry margarita. And my word...do they know how to make a drink. It was strong but in a great way! It wasn't overpowering. It was just perfect and a great addition to my food. The atmosphere is bustling. The staff were sipping all around. Please come see them! They offer military discount. read more

Me and my family went in the morning, when the restaurant was just about empty. There were 12 of us. There was no one at the front the moment we walked in, and it took them around 4 minutes to realize there were people there and finally walked up. Once seated our waitress decided to take another 15 minutes to come take our order, when we didn't even have drinks yet. From the time we got there, to the time we ate, it was around an hour wait. They were out of milk, we had to ask for straws because only 4 were dropped on our table for a group of 12, and extra silverware for the same reason. The food was not as good as I was expecting and the bathrooms were filthy at 8 in the morning. Will not be returning read more

I will definitely come here again but only to go. An extensive menu (but not a billion options). I had the pancakes with andouille sausage. Why is this not a 5 star review? Our waitress was highkey rude. Real chill and lowkey; again, will be here again. read more

This place is absolutely buzzing but a more than solid breakfast or brunch option. They have great variety including some adult beverages if you're in the mood to get your day started off that way lol. The service was amazing! I used the wait ahead option online and timed it just perfectly. It was definitely crowded and busy but we walked in and were seated in seconds. The wait staff and runners were all super friendly and the atmosphere was busy but in a good way. Lots of families and friends sharing a meal together with plenty of conversation going on. The food is properly priced and minus a few tweaks, everything was great! It appears as if they make their own sausage blend or at the very least form it to order so that's always a plus. The grits had the perfect consistency just needed a hefty hand of salt and pepper. The crab benny's were super flavorful, just the poached eggs were a little over and didn't have the runny yolk. All in all, I'll definitely be coming back with my kids and trying out some seasonal options. read more

This restaurant another Broken Egg cafe of this address I can not recommend it. I was tried in another cities is not the same. The soup taste old. Not good experience. read more

The food I ordered -- grits, country potatoes, scrambled eggs, and an English muffin was good except I thought the eggs had a funny taste. I ate cold food and drank cold coffee because of the fans above me and it was already cold in the restaurant. I spoke to the waitress to see if the fans could be cut off while I was eating and she told me the owner or manager, whoever she said, will not cut the fans off EVER even though they've had lots of other complaints. The one directly over my head was cut down a notch but definitely did not help. Anyway, I told the waitress to tell the manager or owner, whoever, that I don't enjoy cold food and coffee and I wouldn't be coming back. I'm sure they don't care but I had to say it. The waitress was wonderful. read more

A nice place for brunch with a pleasant atmosphere. The waitress and her trainee was very nice and hospitable. We chose the Apple Fritter French Toast and the Western Omelette. The food presentation was nice and the food was served at a great temperature. However, I suggested getting the French toast grilled a little longer. In some places, Mine's was still doughy inside. But overall, we had a wonderful experience! read more

Love the gluten-friendly menu options! Had the skinny omelet with fruit and gluten free toast - it was great. Was definitely heavy on the garlic but overall enjoyed it. read more

The food is good and it's always consistent. I always get the shrimp and grits and a side on potatoes / home fries. The service is great. They come check on you and make sure your food is good and right. The place is spacious. I haven't had to wait for a seat upon entering but I've always gone earlier in the morning, and have done several pick up orders. read more

I've been to this location before and I've always enjoyed my visits. Staff is knowledgeable about the menu, courteous and the food comes out in a timely manner prepared as ordered. They often have new items on the menu so you can get something new each time. I must note that the bacon was perfect today. I ordered a side.of sausage but I was yearning for more of the bacon. Do yourself a favor and join the waitlist ahead of time. You will be seated quicker. read more

Went here for brunch around 10am and got seated right away since it wasn't too busy. I ordered the Shrimp Benny with a Peach Palmer and both were delicious. My friends enjoyed their meals as well. The only downside was that by the time we were wrapping up, the restaurant got pretty busy and it took a while for our server to check in, so closing out the check was a bit slow. Overall, great food and drinks, and I'd definitely come back earlier in the day to beat the rush. read more

Decided to have breakfast before headijg to the office ... was greeted immediately when I walk in and was seated ... I always like this place because of the bar design with the sports theme being we are so close to the college .. I ordered the Crab Benedict ... with the reg Hollandaise sauce being I gone eat pork... with the potatoes add cheese ... my meal came out and was piping hot which I love ... the red and greeen peppers are a nice addition for a pop of color ... the crab cake was book perfectly and not overcooked how some places do.. the biscuit was fresh also... most importantly the poached egg brought the meal together. For personal preference I added salt which enhanced the flavor... Nice quick meal before I start my day ... and thanks to Pascualina for great service and making sure the hollandaise sauce was not pork infused ... read more

Took my parents here few days ago for breakfast as they are visiting Columbia for a few days and they are picky eaters. Let's just say everyone left very happy & satisfied with how amazing the food was. I recommended my mom get the cinnamon roll pancakes, my dad get omelette, and I got the biscuit with gravy, 3 butter milk pancakes, and the full basket (8 piece) beignets. The cinnamon roll pancakes literally felt like I was eating cinnamon rolls for breakfast, but it wasn't overly sweet like the real thing. The sausage gravy was good, not too rich and spread all over two pieces of a giant, soft biscuit. Buttermilk pancakes were delicious, and spongy and the sausages that came on the side were home made patties. The omelet seemed like any other omelet, I don't have anything hype to mention about. Now the beignets were slightly crunchy outside, but soft inside. I didn't even need the dipping sauce because its natural flavor alone was sweet enough. Service was quick, staff were professional, highly recommend coming early to beat the crowd. It's a very popular place and the line gets long fairly easily. They do have an option for putting your name down on an online wait list. The location we went to has good amount of parking unlike their other location in downtown Columbia. Highly recommend this breakfast establish, Definitely going back! read more

My go to brunch spot. The food is good and portions are big enough to keep you full all day. It gets cold in there so bring a sweater.

Nice decor for a breakfast house tucked away in a plaza. Staff was friendly and attentive. The apple fritter French toast was delicious as well as the chorizo omelette with goat cheese and bacon. Pricing was reasonable. read more

Another Broken Egg is always a good time. The wait time varies depending on the day, but as long as you get in the wait list it's not that bad. The environment is always bustling with high energy and it's very well lit. I always have to get a mimosa pitcher. All of the flavors are delicious. Definitely try it for some good brunch vibes ! read more

Let me start by saying I love Another Broken Egg, in Charlotte. So I just assumed the quality of food would be the same in Columbia. My wife ordered my food on line. All I wanted was the BLT&A . It looked really good before I took it apart to add some mayo to it. The lettuce was brown and withered. The avocado also brown. I was sad. Now the reason it gets 3 star is because Isaiah took care of us. He gave us a refund as well as some gift cards. Praying they get it right next time. read more

The food was great. The staff were friendly. The restaurant was nice and clean. A great breakfast spot to come back to!

We've been here twice. It's always a long wait, slow service and mediocre food. My kids enjoy the chocolate chip pancakes but they aren't anything special. The frozen crab cakes from the grocery aisle taste better than the ones cooked here. I would not recommend. read more

Not sure if you have to ask for REAL eggs or not but the eggs i got all three times had a very nasty smell to them. The taste matched. I drove all the way back up there both times and each time the eggs just smelled like a dirty toilet. I'm not sure how people are eating them but i haven't been back since. Even the eggs that we ate in the field while in the army were better and we just added water to those and some pepper in a large bag. To eat here again i'd have to literally see the egg cracked. read more

Best breakfast I've had in a long time. I ordered the Spanish omelet he got the country power bowl - all was fantastic but the Martin gras pancakes were seriously the best I've had. I saw the Cinamon roll French toast come out and that's definitely happening next time, Sweet tea was on point also. Diabetes will ensue. read more

I've been here a few times and it's prob one of my favorite breakfast/brunch spots to go to during the week since it's not too busy and crowded. My baby graduated kindergarten today so I decided to treat her. She got the kids dollar pancakes and bacon and scrambled eggs and I got the Mardi Gras omelette with side of fruit and house blend coffee with half and half. I got the omelette without red peppers and it was so good. I think there is crawfish, shrimp and andouille sausage in it with a hollandaise sauce. The meat was cooked perfectly and gave the omelette a lot of flavor and texture. The sauce was creamy and also gave a different texture to the omelette vs just putting hot sauce on it. I think it paired perfectly with the seafood and balanced out the flavors. I forgot they had green onions on top which I could have done without but I just took them off. The coffee was a medium roast and was so fresh and I love the smell of coffee so it made everything better. It is still strong but not overpowering. With the half and half and Splenda sugar, it cut the bitterness and was still a bit sweet to enjoy. I'd say it was overall a 9/10. My daughter enjoyed her pancakes and bacon and they make it crispy how she likes it, she said it was a 10/10 lol. She also enjoyed my blueberries and i ate the strawberries which were perfectly ripe and sweet. Definitely a good brunch spot but I'd recommend going on a weekday and avoid weekends especially holidays if you want to avoid waiting. read more

This is one of my top choices for breakfast/brunch in Columbia. Their menu was diverse enough to satisfy everyone and gave sweet/savory options. I ordered the sunrise spinach scrambler with added ham. My friend ordered the lobster and Brie omelette. Both had fresh ingredients and a good portion size. The size of pancakes were nice and fluffy. We both cleared our plates. I love that you have the option to join the waitlist beforehand. I joined the waitlist around 11 and checked in around 12. I was seated shortly after. The staff is very friendly. Our waitress was very personable and attentive. She also offered great suggestions. I will definitely be back. read more

I've been to this location a few times. This time was on a Saturday. I used yelp to join the waitlist. I was quoted 45 min- 1 hr 15 min wait and ended up waiting 1 hr 30 min so it wasn't completely off but be prepared to wait as Saturdays are always pretty busy. It's possible to grab some seats at the bar. I love that they have a specials that change seasonally. I ordered the strawberry pound cake French toast with eggs and bacon. Also had the grand mimosas. My French toast was delicious. I usually do not like too sweet but it had a perfect balance, was light and fluffy and fresh. Our server was friendly and we received our food quickly. This was the best brunch that I've had thus far from this location since their opening. Just make sure to join the waitlist if you go on a busy weekend. read more

The food was plastic like. The eggs were a dark yellow. The grits were mere instant grits.

Been here twice now. First time about a month ago with a buddy of mine for an 8am Saturday breakfast meet. Not too crowded that early but it was 'slammin and jammin' when we left about an hour and a half later. Good coffee and great breakfast menu offerings. First breakfast dish I had ever for breakfast that had Brussel Sprouts as one of the main ingredients. Second time was just a few weeks ago with my wife and I catching the Sunday Brunch. The "Join the Waitlist" option worked perfectly, and when we joining it we had a 45 minute wait with over 25 tables in front of us. When we checked in, we only had to wait about 5 minutes at the most before we were seated. Service was a little slow for the brunch but that's to be expected considering how busy it was. Great brunch and we will be back! read more

On a whim we decided to grab some breakfast and we ended up at this lovely place! First tip if you're craving some brunch on a Sunday is Online Reservation will save you so much time ! We logged on to yelp & made it in and there were many people waiting to be seated. I think the best decisions was ordering the Tito's Bloody Mary it was delicious! I wish I knew the other Bloody Mary one was the only one with bacon but man still a great drink. I ended up getting a eggs Benedict & Husband the traditional breakfast I believe I enjoyed my food and those potatoes I know now while they are good grits here are the way to go so much better ! The maple sausage was a great hit for us as well. All in all sat down fast and got some good food while there was a lot of people in a small space it was some good food! read more

Delicious and good Customer service. Suggestions: Please open up a restaurant on NE area!

2 1/2 to 3 stars. Server was sweet but the food wasn't something to be desired, IMO. What they call chilaquiles are nothing of the sort and the poached eggs were over cooked in my husbands Eggs Benedict. Pancakes were decent however not worth coming back for. Although the actual restaurant atmosphere is decent the women's restroom looked like it hadn't been cleaned in a week. I was hoping for more of a 3 1/2 star restaurant. Might as well go to a Waffle House. read more

I like the sayings on the wall for decor. The service is good. They serve up a healthy portion of food as well.

the wait list you do online is not actually their waitlist time. i would never recommend coming here simply for that. wasting people's time when they're hungry is a fantastic way to lose business. the host is rude and waved us away when we asked about our place in line. the restaurant is way too small for the amount of people that they allow in. we are spilling over into where people are eating giving them no personal space. we waited over 30 minutes past when it said it was ready on top of the extremely long wait time. to be clear, not a overall 30 minute wait, 1+ hour wait + 30 minute additional wait time. i would recommend pancake house. fast service and accurate wait times. however, the actual food was decent. my friends said the drinks were great. i would recommend the chocolate milk with whipped cream read more

This was my second visit to ABEC and it was very disappointing compared to the first visit. I got the short rib special however it was nothing special.
