This classy top floor restaurant gave us exceptional service and offered delicious upscale dining. We stayed on the appetizer menu because everything on it sounded delicious and the dishes we got did not disappoint. The food was top notch. Don't miss this gem. And there is one local that I will be visiting soon. read more

It felt like 5 star prices but 2 star service. The staff was friendly enough but rushed our party if 12- in a mostly empty restaurant- to the point of rudeness. When you're paying these prices, you expect a certain level of service- not stacking plates on the table next to other diners and asking multiple times in a five minute period if I'm done with my meal. The food was pretty good and flavorful, just not hot. If I went again I'd ask the wait staff to slow down a little. I wanted an experience, not fast food. read more

Service was absolutely horrible. Waitstaff was incredibly rude, asked to take our appetizers 4 times as we still eating, asked group who wanted boxes while some were still eating. Cleared plates around those stool eating too. We were a group of 12, with reservations, and were told the table was reserved for us for 2 hours. The tried to rush us out within an hour. There were only two other parties in the whole restaurant so I have no idea why. Also added a 20% tip without telling us. I assumed a tip would be added but they did not tell us. Food was ridiculously expensive for this kind of service. Will not be returning! read more

I brought the family here on vacation and had a good experience. The staff was very helpful but the wait time for meals was about 30 minutes, a little longer than I had anticipated. This restaurant is located on the second floor of a plaza so you don't have any spectacular views. Overall is the good restaurant and I recommend it. read more

Not a typical decor or atmosphere for a coastal restaurant, but food was delicious and they were getting busy pretty quickly even in an off season. Our server was wonderful, very attentive, and overall service was very good, other than a minor issue with a couple of ingredients missing off my spouse's sandwich, but it was addressed and taken care of immediately. Best she-crab soup I've had, and my fish and chips entree was perfection, though not in a typical presentation. The batter was so good. Please come try this place out! read more

We had a nice dinner here. The service was friendly and the atmosphere felt grown and welcoming--perfect for a relaxed night out. My husband really enjoyed his steak, and the crab cakes were decent. The crab dip appetizer was just okay, but my cocktail was both delicious and beautifully presented. The highlight of the evening was definitely the dessert--the toffee cake was amazing! 10/10 recommend it if you go. The restaurant is tucked inside the same building as the arcade, so it took us a minute to find it. There's also a cute flower wall for photos. Overall it was a nice experience and worth checking out if you're in the area! read more

Ambience was great. Food was just mediocre. Crab Cake was one of the best things I've ever had but the crab toast was not. Service was excellent but the food just threw me off a little bit. Good stop just need to order the right food. read more

Unique in their flavoring and options, which is what we liked about it. Service was good and the environment was surprising, looks uninviting from the outside being above an arcade. read more

I found a hair in my Caesar salad. And it took an hour for us to even receive our food. For the prices, I wouldn't say it's worth it. The decor is not great, not as classy as I think they are going for. Bathrooms were outdated and dirty. We had to ask to have our drinks refilled. The taste of the food was good for the most part. We will not be back. read more

Broken Plate Kitchen - Caesar salad - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Corolla, North Carolina

Cute little restaurant in Corolla, up on the second story of a shopping center. Early for dinner, probably don't need a reservation, but the place does get busier as the evening goes on. The bar area is lit by neon green lights, which...is a look, for sure. It's almost as if the place turns into a club at night? Dunno. Anyway, food. The restaurant area itself is quite nice, and the service was very friendly. The menu is quite large, and they have some stuff for kids in addition to adults. For starters, we had some mozzarella sticks, just because we were starving and they sounded good. They were good, because fried cheese, but nothing crazy; just mass-produced type of deal. The cocktails were tremendously good! Had a few of those, and both of which were quite good. For dinner, we had scallops and the shrimp and grits. The scallops were well cooked and delicious! The real winner was the shrimp and grits, though! absolutely tremendous! one of the best servings of shrimp and grits i've ever had. wanted to lick the plate when i was done! a little bread would've been good to wipe up the remaining sauce. And this place actually was not that expensive, which was nice! I don't know the area overly well, but it honestly feels like a hidden gem. Definitely check this place out for a wonderful dinner! read more

We read the reviews and thought we'd give the Broken Plate Kitchen. While there was plenty of parking and the hostess staff members were delightful, we were only quickly greeted by our waiter, and saw him minimal the rest of the time we were there ( intro with drink order, food order, and check at end - our food was delivered by someone else). We have 11-month old twins, and although we understand that maybe it was felt they were doing us or others a favor by placing the four of us in the bar area (by ourselves) and not in the main dining area with everyone else, it felt as if we were disregarded and not appreciated. Our twins are really well behaved, so to assume they wouldn't be was pretty shameful (if that was the case). We watched other parties come in and be sat with the "main diners" as we continued to be ignored, and not even be asked how our meal was. Disappointed. read more

There wed night with large party, heat broken. Everyone had to sit in jackets whole time. Thermostat read 57 in hall by bathroom. Food cold when served. $55 steak dinner taste like dinner at Golden Corral. Mashed potatoes seemed out of a box. Seafood not good, never would recommend this place. read more

Food was absolutely amazing. We got the snapper, Mahi Mahi, seared scallops, fish tacos, fish and chips and she crab soup. Every single dish was delicious (we literally all cleaned our plates). The star was either the seared scallops or the fish and chips. We also liked it so much we went a second time on our trip! read more

We were there 2 different times on our vaca and it was delicious both times. Wait staff was very friendly and accommodating as well. I would def recommend read more

I wasn't sure about this place because the pictures online didn't look like casual dining and we were traveling with children. To our surprise this was a very family friendly restaurant. Service was excellent-- very friendly, prompt and courteous. We felt welcomed right away. The food was a hit for all ages! A food menu for all. The drinks were delicious as well. Would return again. read more

As others have mentioned, the food is not bad, but the ambiance is lacking for a family dinner as it located on the second level of a strip mall. The menu seems haphazzard and Family Feud was on the tv in the bar and viewable from the dining room. read more

Place is "new" Very fancy looking inside. Upstairs from an arcade. They did not however renovate the restrooms. Food was ok. Cream of crab soup was loose. Not thick and creamy as described by waiter. Shrimp and grits were good. Kids mac n cheese must've been underdone bc my son said there were crunchy pieces in it. Had to send my burger back bc I wanted it well done and it was not. I wouldn't go back. We go to corolla every year so we had to check out the newest place. The waiter did however let my aunt and I order off the kids menu because we just wanted regular cheeseburgers. read more

I enjoyed my dish (fish tacos) a lot My wife did not enjoy her dish (shrimp grits) at all. The place has a good menu, a little on the fancy side Service was friendly read more

Were nice. The tables were set very elegantly and we were greeted by Chevelle who is a lovely happy, joyful young lady. The meal was fantastic. My sister had shrimp and grits, which was a generous portion size and very delicious. i mahi-mahi with a lemon beurre blanc sauce. Served with vegetable pearl couscous. Again delicious! The service was quick and pleasant. I highly recommend this restaurant. It was a very pleasant surprise and a great way to end our vacation. read more

I came in with a family of 10. It came out in 10 minutes max. The decor is amazing, the good is hot, it's tastes amazing. And our waiter was a very nice man who offered to take pictures for us. An amazing experience overall. And if you are looking for a seafood restaurant, it has that, and a lot more if you don't like seafood. Like burgers, wings, mozzarella sticks, etc. Loved it here. read more

So we came here because we saw photos of fancy milkshakes. This is not the same place. They have renovated and made the dessert portion of their menu a sister location called Tasty Treats across the parking lot. The food was decent. Ashley our server was great. The crab dip appetizer was tasty and the crab cake sandwich was really good. Not a whole lot of filler in the cake. The chicken sandwich was fine but not great. A little thin and a little dry. Still good food, a good menu and a nice, cool reprieve from a hot day. read more

I had a great experience at broken plate. The food was great. We started with wings as an appetizer. It was enough to share with 4 people (2 adults/2 kids). My wife had the mahi mahi tacos with a glass of wine. I had the mahi fish sandwich. My kids had grilled cheese and cheese burger. Everyone was pleased with their meals. My cut of fish was massive, well seasoned and the slaw really added a nice topping. Prices were not outrageous. Four meals, an app, and a glass of wine came out to $100. The service and ambience were amazing. Our waitress was very attentive and the wait staff were really friendly. The location of the restaurant did not match the ambience. Upon entry, you're transformed into this upscale environment. Although the ambience was upscale, it was still very welcoming to families. Overall, we had a great experience. If you're looking for great service, good food, and nice ambience, I would definitely recommend that you check out broken plate. read more

Shrimp were breaded and frozen. Mahi sandwich was only warm. Fries were great. Service was good. Atmosphere was very nice. To nice of a place to serve frozen food. read more

We are in Corolla for our friends' wedding over the weekend and we had dinner here tonight. The place is beautiful and the ambiance is chique. Initially we were the only people there as it first opened, but soon the place was flooded with people and it got busy very quickly. The service was great and the server was very attentive. Most of the food we tried was delicious. We especially loved the crab dip, and my friend really enjoyed the pasta with scallops. I appreciate places that have good mocktail options and this place was definitely one of them. Their smoky old fashion was a hit! Giving it a 4 star only because the orange crush (picture not included) my friend ordered wasn't what she expected (like in Virginia Beach) and didn't seem to be made with fresh orange juice. Also the fish tacos were just okay. read more

I have mixed feelings about our visit, and would potentially come back to give it another chance. We went out with the whole family (9 total, kids and adults), and we saw that they did take reservations but opted to see what the walk-in availability was, as all of the reservation time slots were open online. Immediately from when we walked in, the 2 people at the front counter were stand-offish and didn't seem too happy that we didn't have a reservation. Eventually we got seated, and got basic drinks from one of the ladies who sat us. Our waiter came over shortly after, who made us feel welcome, explained the specials, and clarified about the check being split into groups or one check. No issues with the waiter, he kept up with checking in and refills, and was friendly and helpful with questions. The food was pretty bland, even the jerk chicken, which honestly was a little over powering with just straight spice and no other flavors. The kids meals with chicken tenders, burgers and fries were all really good, and even some of the adults shared the kids meals too! Like I said, we would consider trying it again, maybe with a reservation and a different meal time to try their other foods read more

Stopped by on a whim, so glad we did. This spot is a hidden gem. My wife had the fried mahi sandwich, and I had the tropical tacos with shrimp--it was all fantastic. The crab dip appetizer was amazing too. We will certainly return later this week and add to our list of spots for future visits to the island. read more

customer service, well, I'd give 10 stars! The only restaurant that accommodated a reservation for 30 people. The wait staff....amazing! Our favorite...Kevin, gave us exceptional service along with other staff members. Don't let the arcade downstairs fool you, our meal was delicious! This will be our go to for sure! Thanks to the staff for a wonderful family memory! read more

Was very disappointing, cheese sticks were good but the snapper was chewy and zero blackened... service was above par... family had shrimp and grits and enjoyed it...and the pasta was decent.. read more

We came for breakfast. Food was okay. Was a little bland. Probably wouldn't recommend breakfast maybe lunch and dinner are better. Waiter was pretty good but table didn't have salt and pepper and had to ask for cream with coffee. The vibes from the inside give a more dinner ambience. read more

Food was awesome, service was prompt. Everything came out quick and everyone was super nice for our party of eight.

My wife took me out for a celebratory dinner and we enjoyed everything. I got the ribeye and my wife had the halibut. Food was flavorful, fresh and cooked to perfection . Would definitely go back ! read more

Food and drinks are soooo good. The servers are clutch. Location is great. There's not much of a kids menu but there are plenty of sides and apps that do the trick in a pinch. We had the largest mahi sandwich with slaw and pineapple sauce. One of my favorite salads I've ever had (BPK Chopped salad), I want to eat it every day. The mozzarella sticks were the best I've had. And don't get me started on the cheesecake milkshake The bathrooms could use a facelift but I don't even care read more

The service was not good. Barely saw the waiter. Tables were dirty around us from previous customers. Food was not good at all. I had shrimp and grits. The grits were cold and not cooked correctly. Sodas were flat. Overall experience was not good and because we had a group of 6 they auto charged a "large group" 20% tip to my bill. Probably why the service is trash because they are auto tipping. If not I would have left 10%. Maybe they would learn to give better service. read more

Absolutely the worst establisment with horrible service. Immature professional conduct by manager and waitress. 20 minute wait for draft beer that never came because tap was broken, followed by another 10 minute wait for a simple bottle beer. As we watched other parties who ordered after us enjoy their meals we sat over an hour with empty glasses only to be served ice cold steak and salmon. Waitess was usually MIA and was the worst. Their website looks upscale and mistakenly we thought it was perfect for our celebration dinner. Luckily there are plently of better local restaurants near by where we had the best server who made our anniversary and birthday memorable and earned his much deserved generous tip. Broken Plate is horrible and probably will be until the day they are shut down by the health department. read more

My family went here 3 times during our vacation and it was excellent once for breakfast and twice for dinner. First time, I got the salmon and it was excellent, very flavorful. The next day I had the fish and chips they were very crispy. For breakfast I had the Avocado toast wish they added more avocado but besides that it was good. it came with an egg on top as well as patatoes on the side. The servers were really nice and friendly. the place also has a nice vibe to it, 10/10 would recommend. read more

Don't let the location fool you. I was skeptical, but it ended up being a very nice dinner. Everything was fresh, including the kids chicken tenders. She crab soup had a great flavor, and the Rasta Pasta with chicken had a subtle jerk flavor to it. The shrimp and grits with the andouille sausage was delightful. Everything had great seasoning. 10/10 would recommend! read more

The food was amazing and the service was even better. "Adam" was phenomenal. I would highly recommend this restaurant for dinner.

Truly enjoyed dinner with friends on Saturday evening of Veterans Day Weekend. Many restaurants were closed for the season; those open had long waits. Perhaps due to their location (on second floor above an arcade) and difficult to see signage, we were able to get in without a reservation. The room decor is stylish and hip (I'd got rid of the TVs over the bar and have recorded music; I gather they have live music occasionally) . The service was understated and gracious. Pricing was extremely reasonable and portion sizes were large. My pork chop was beautifully prepared. Kudos to whoever put the wine list together: it was great to see some interesting wines--not the usual suspects--at fair markups. If you're headed to Corolla, please support Broken Plate. You won't be disappointed. read more
