Dear Another Broken Egg Cafe, Thank you for saving me on Sunday morning. I couldn't have eaten at Cracker Barrell or IHOP with a straight face and if we had ended up at Casa Blanca again I might have had to boycott Huntsville forever. You let us call ahead. You were filled with friendly people and cute preppy babies. Your menu is filled with deliciousness- and has so many options for those of us who are suckers for Southwesterny breakfasts. I loved my omelette - massive, filled with avocado and chorizo, topped with salsa. I adored my potatoes - crispy, crunchy, salty. I could've left the giant pancake - sorry, it was flavorless. Your servers are sweet, your coffee cup is always full. You saved me from a chain breakfast in a town where Sunday breakfast is a wasteland. Thank you, ABEC. Love, Sarah read more

Let's start with the good: great food. Always liked the different omelets that we order. My orange juice tastes like it was fresh squeezed. One of our favorites is the southwest scrambler. The servers are real nice too. The bad: the time for us to get our food is ridiculous. Since we ordered, we have waited for over 40 minutes! Our server says that it is because of the Sunday church rush and other days it takes only 10 min. My thought is, if the resturant know this, then they should plan for it. It is a really bad kitchen issue that is affecting the customers' experience and not allowing the resturant have as many table turnovers. So my recommendation is to try it, but only on the weekday. read more

Ok. I really want to like this place because it's been recommended by so many people. But after three visits here in the past year with over-salted, been-sitting-around-too-long brunch entrees, I just can't give it my stamp of approval. I want to like Another Broken Egg for lots of reasons. It has a bar and a great breakfast-drinks menu (again, I'm skipping the drinks for the next few months), the menu is varied, it has a decent patio, and the decor is themed but not overly cute. Even though we had to wait 20 minutes for a table on a Sunday, our service was pretty much on-par. It's just really the food that's the problem. Cold eggs benedict, burned bacon, gelatinous cheese on top of my eggs, amazingly over-salted potatoes. POOOOOOOOO! I almost ordered the Huevos Rancheros, my go-to dish for brunch, but I knew that I'd be disappointed so I skipped it. You've been warned. read more

Haven't been here in YEARS. Great atmosphere and the staff was extremely friendly. My eggs Benedict were perfect. If I could master hollandaise sauce, this is how I'd make them. A tad pricey, but an excellent treat once-in-awhile! read more

Wanted this place to be good. They have great ingredients; high quality and fresh. My server, Brie, was a delightful and attentive addition. They have a interesting menu selection, the facility is clean, well lighted and very good service. The décor is something like Cajun restaurant meets Starbucks but, it works. I had the Andouille omelet with tomato hollandaise sauce, their Blackberry Grits, and a cup of coffee. The omelet comes with medium-dice home fried potatoes and an English muffin (Wolferman, I think). I think the plate was even heated slightly to keep the meal warm. The omelet was extremely mild flavored, including the hollandaise. Even the Andouille was mild (how did they do that?). The potatoes were fine but could have benefited from sautéed onions for a flavor base. The grits were well prepared and the addition of blackberries gave them a unique almost desert quality. The muffin was a good quality but should have been lightly toasted (I think it was just warmed). Coffee was not bad but it did have an interesting slightly bitterness to it. With boost in flavor and just a couple of changes this could be a go-to casual breakfast lunch spot. I wish them well. read more

Great Breakfast! Took a good 10 minutes before anyone ever came to take my drink order. Once my waitress finally came service went swiftly. My brunch was delicious as ways. Had a pancake and a order of bacon. Bacon was perfectly cooked! Great for groups and families. Also a great place to go to a nice brunch. read more

Okay, so this place is one of my new hometown obsessions. The day I had to leave to go back to NYC, my mom and I opted to try this spot, having heard it was quite good. Oh and good it sure was... For those of the pro-egg camp, there are so many options for omlettes here which are quite creative and extensive. Options galore! For me, I was pleased to see there were a lot of options for pancakes/waffles/french toast. Mmmmm. I went with the large pancake with strawberries. LARGE PANCAKE? Why haven't other places adopted this concept? It was perfect. Just enough food without overwhelming you with pancake upon pancake. Just perfect. Which left room for the blackberry grits. This was a highlight for me. I have never had this combination and, after having had it, I think I'm spoiled. Can I ever have plain grits again? To be continued... I loved the hometown diner feel, with an upscale flair to it. The service was prompt and courteous. I loved the layout of the restaurant and even the cute keepsakes they sold on the way out (little clay glazed vases with the restaurants logo, etc.). The hours are limited to 7am to 2pm but makes sense with the offerings they have. I can't wait to go back. Mmmmm. read more

We've eaten here many times, since it's the only decent breakfast spot on Sunday in Huntsville. The omelets are, for the most part, a winning choice. As others have suggested, try the baked Brie... You won't be disappointed. I'd recommend avoiding the times that the local churches are dismissing, however; the wait can be atrocious. Update: We've stopped eating here. The service has gone downhill over the last year and you'll easily spend $50 on a family brunch here. I'd rather have cereal at home than eat marginal food with marginal service. read more

This place has a long wait on Sunday mornings, but they will text you when your table is ready and you can walk around downtown while you wait. I ordered the Black Bean Benedict which was comprised of a black bean patty and a poached egg on top of an English muffin with Chipotle Hollandaise. I'm usually not a fan of Hollandaise but this one was great. Not spicy, but very flavorful. My boyfriend ordered the Blackstone Benedict which he really enjoyed. The country potatoes were also very good. We had a pitcher of orange mimosas which were very tasty and pretty potent. They have a few other flavors too which I'll have to try next time. They had free samples of cinnamon rolls in the lobby. Cute country diner atmosphere and service was friendly. read more

One of the better places in Huntsville to get a good breakfast or brunch. Food is generally very good and staff is quite accommodating. The only thing I noted is that things tend to be a bit salty. I like salty foods and my bacon was noticeably salty. For a healthier alternative, get a side of fruit instead. It's also moderately pricy - it's really easy for 2 people to spend $40+ on breakfast. Avoid going on Sunday morning. There are a LOT of churches right around that area in Jones Valley, so everyone tends to go there after church. You may have to wait 20-30 minutes for a table and 30-40 for your food. Any other day of the week, there's probably no wait. Here's a hint: if it's just for one or two, you can sit at the bar and eat. Usually no wait there! read more

Like the character of the place and the waitress was friendly and accommodating. I ordered a simple breakfast since I just did a race. I was tempted by the bananas foster but thought it might be too rich. I ordered the breakfast plate that includes country potatoes- good, looked simple but had flavor, scrambled eggs- made to my liking, not runny cooked firm, english muffin- hard to mess that up, and an addition of corned beef hash- thought it looked like a small portion but it really did have a kick of enough flavor to add to my breakfast. The butter that came with my meal was whipped butter- huge plus for me. OJ tasted fresh squeezed. Everything seemed very fresh. My fiance gobbled his burger fast- liked the cafe burger and country potatoes. Decor of the place is warm and like a little home in a shopping strip area. Good choice for a meal with friends. The coffee/hot chocolate mugs were like pieces of clay pottery art and the fresh flowers on the tables gave the place warmth and character. read more

The food here is always so good I finish the plate and waddle out the servers are friendly and the restaurant is clean! Love!

This restaurant has the ability to be really great. However, every time we order from here, they screw up our order. Almost without fail, it's every time. On top of that, this place is also on the more expensive side, so I would appreciate if they would get their act together. read more

If you are used to brioche french toast DO NOT ORDER from here. It is made with sourdough bread which is not the brightest idea. The bananas foster used old bananas (not freshly cut) The baked brie and beignets were good enough. Middle of the road brunch NOT amazing but good enough to get you past IHOP. We had: baked brie, beignets, corn beef hash, bananas foster french toast, black coffee, tea, and an omellete. OK BUT NOT GREAT! read more

Another Broken Egg is a great breakfast, brunch, and lunch place. Their food is flavorfull and their service is good. Pros: Good Food Good Service Cons: Limited hours of operation read more

Personally I had a great experience. I really enjoy the food. Coffee was great. I had it black, no sugar or milk. I had the French toast and I like them. Chocolate chip Muffins where good. English muffin was good. And I liked the sausages and the potatoes. Service was great too. The place inside is great. The only problem is that is extremely busy on the weekends. I wish they would move to a bigger location or open multiple locations. read more

Service is always good. Coffee is always hot, but it's a little weak to me. The food, well, that's always touch and go. Sometimes it's hot, sometimes it just warm. Also, they really need to toast the English muffin until it has a little bit of color. Pale and pasty looking only works for the Pillsbury Doughboy. And when did corn beef hash have peppers in it? read more

I had a amazing waitress that went above and beyond...wonderful food...amazing service...if you go here ask for Gina as a waitress you will be grateful read more

Visited on a weekday morning, so it wasn't all that busy. We were seated promptly. The server was friendly and helpful. I made a horrible choice for an omelet, however. The skinny omelet is an egg white omelet with what was evidently an entire bulb of garlic. My palate was so burned by the garlic I couldn't taste anything else. On the upside, I was able to enjoy an English muffin for the first time in a while because I was starving and it wasn't loaded with garlic. Thanks English muffin! read more

I highly recommend this eatery. I wish I had tried it years ago. Judging by the reviews here back to 07 it hasn't changed since inception and that's a good thing. I had the omelet and enjoyed it ALL! My girl had the One pancake and couldn't finish it all but we agreed it was perfect. The service felt very homey without the clingy feeling some places give you. Everyone was having a great meal with smiles every where. GO! Now! read more

Another Broken Egg is an amazing brunch spot! I have been there twice and was not disappointed. Their food is amazing! I had the biscuits and gravy, French toast, omelette, hash browns, and eggs (not all at once). Definitely good for a nice brunch on a Saturday or Sunday morning. read more

Amazing food and great staff. I love the shrimp and grits! I just wish it would stay open later than 2:00pm

Great menu and good food. I had the yogurt and granola and it was quote good. My friend had an excellent omelets with chorizo, green chilies and cheese that looked out of this world. I would definitely return! read more

The best breakfast in town. The food is fresh, the service is consistent, and it is clean. I like the sweet potato pancake with a side of scrabbled eggs. My mom orders the blueberry pancakes and is always happy. It's not a far drive to Jone's Valley from downtown. It's a great place to meet a friend for brunch or for brunch after church. read more

Always have a great breakfast with our family! Love it here. Love that we can join the waiting list with Yelp on Sunday mornings so we don't have to wait too long. read more

Amazing!!! This food was literally soothing to my soul. If you try nothing else make sure you try the cinnamon roll French toast, it's absolutely wonderful. Fast, quick service and not too long of a wait for a Sunday. I would eat here a million times over. read more

Another Broken Egg Cafe - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Huntsville, Alabama

Wow!! You must try this place!!! This was my first visit to Another Broken Egg but it will not be my last. Ate here on a Sunday around 12:20. Our only wait to be seated was for them to quickly clean off a table. Had a friendly waitress and attentive service. Our order took maybe 25 minutes to come out, which was worth the wait. I went savory and ordered the Biscuit & Gravy meal. (See pictures) Huge plate of food including eggs sausage, seasoned potato cubes. Everything tasted amazing and well-seasoned. My husband ordered sweet with the Cinnamon Roll French toast. He claimed it was literally the best breakfast he has ever had after saying mmm and oh my gosh after every bite until he was done. He also ordered freshly squeezed OJ. It was $4 a glass, but such a yummy splurge. With 2 waters, order total was about $27 plus tip. Not sure how this place got so many negative comments, but it's more than worth a try! read more

I am a fan of the food...but not of the prices and definitely not of the time of service. I have always asked for my check here and at times go up and have some one finalize the transaction. The time here does take a while to get seated, order, get the food, and get the check. read more

Great food but service is REALLY slow as they expanded size of restaurant but not kitchen.

took my girlfriend here for her birthday... excellent choice. Even though it was a busy noontime, I felt like we were attended to, and the whole experience felt casual and rich at the same time. You MUST have the baked brie! it was phenomenal..apples, raisins and nuts with french bread. perfect flavor, perfect amount There are so many options on the menu it feels a little overwhelming, but I just ordered the first thing that caught my eye, and it was superb. I had the crab cake entree that came with hollandaise and eggs benedict, and fancy sausages. I will be returning, so I can try everything else :) read more

Love this place, I used to visit the one in Mountain Brook when I was in college. This one does not disappoint, it's just like Birmingham. I always get the traditional day starter with a biscuit and bacon. It's so good! If you want something sweet get the beignets. They aren't traditional but it's a twist on biscuits and they are so darn good. The service at this location is always great. The only thing I have noticed is if someone is not at the front door in the hostess booth try and get someone's attention or you may be waiting a while before someone seats you. read more

Our server Josha was lovely. The food was delicious, as always, and it was a great place to take my Dad fir Father's Day.

So Delicious! Wait was a little long but well worth it! Hubs got the lemon goat cheese pancakes, I got skinny omelet and added bacon! Because everything is better with bacon. Highly recommended! read more

When looking for brunch in Huntsville I was directed here. I was very disappointed. The food seems to have been copied from real brunch restaurants like Brennans of New Orleans and countrified (read completely trashed). It lacks any significant flavor or style. The atmosphere is a step up from a greasy road side diner, the waitresses wear T-shirts and the patrons look fresh from a NASCAR event. Huntsville needs real brunch, this is not it. read more

Great food, crazy wait times. We checked in using Nowait at 9am and were quoted as having to wait 70-100 minutes. We were seated at 11:30 and got our food at Noon. While we waited we watched 4 groups seated ahead of us that checked in later than us. read more

The lobster omelette was great, the coffee was delicious. I will return.

Loved our early brunch here on a Sunday morning. Come early (ish) and avoid the wait. The menu has something for everyone - if you want miles of pancakes, something more unique like the lobster and brie omelette, or something on the healthier side. They even did not bat an eye at providing non dairy coffee creamer (coconut milk). This menu is so unique and this location does not differ in its commitment to excellence. ABEC is one of my favorite brunch stops! read more

If yelp allowed a 0 rating. I had such a bad bad experience recently. Since moving to Huntsville, this has been my brunch go to.... until last Saturday. I had friends in from DC (where Brunch is king) and we bragged about how great ABEC was- so we called ahead for an outside table. The nice gentleman confirmed our time in 45 minutes. And we headed to the restaurant. When we arrived... the 'hostess' told us there was a party of 15 ahead of us...we were a party of 4... and they would text us when we had a table. The outside patio had literally 3 tables of people..... we waited for 30 minutes. I went back and chatted with the "hostess' who in7dicated she wasn't sure when we'd be able to be sat outside because they are preparing for a table of 15 who called before us. But they'd text us when they had a table.... 7 days later still waiting. We left after an hour of waiting. NO FOOD IS WORTH SUCH BAD POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!! If you can't accommodate your quests.... just say so. It is more respectful and hospitality focused. This place is off the list. read more

My husband and i had brunch here today. Although the food and the wait staff get 5 stars, the hostess brings this place down to a two star review. If i had been at McDonalds, your blatantly rude employee wouldn't have bothered me much at all. However, when I'm paying $50 for a two person brunch, I want to have a relaxing & pleasant experience from start to finish. The moment my husband and I walked inside, your hostess said nothing to me as I approached the counter. I said "hi." She then raised her eyebrows & gave me a look that suggested she was annoyed and wondering what i could possibly want from her. She never asked a question...like "may i help you, how many are in your party?" etc. After a few seconds, my husband said our last name & that there were two of us. She told us there would be a 30 min wait and gave us a pager. We waited outside with our infant daughter for 30 minutes and watched a family of 7 who arrived after us get seated. Then, we went inside and continued to wait in the small area in front of the hostess station. My husband asked how much longer it would be and she stated that there were four parties still ahead of us. No apology or explanation was offered. By the time we were seated, we were both pissed. Don't get me wrong, i realize that the wait time and busy atmosphere are unavoidable. Friendliness, professionalism, smiling, basic courtesy (or lack thereof) toward your customers make or break the experience. Again, the waiter we had was great. He kept our drinks full, was professional and friendly, and eager to help. The food was delicious, fresh, and hot. But I almost wanted to leave before we got to experience any of that... read more

The food and service were excellent. I had the crab cake and fried green tomatoes! Delish! We called and had our name added to the waitlist since it was mid-Saturday morning. Only had to wait about 5 minutes when we arrived. read more
