    Great go to spot for breakfast/brunch. I have been here several times when in the area visiting family and it never disappoints. This time we ordered Ranchero Skillet, Chilaquiles bowl, and regular french toast. All the food was great! Can't wait to try something new at my next visit!

    I love this place. Back when I used to live in San Diego, I used to go to the one there all the time. I was happy when one opened here! They have great breakfasts and yummy mimosas! The inside is always well maintained and the staff are always very friendly.

    Forgot to get a picture of our food but it was so good!! The portions for brunch were spot on and we joined the waitlist on here so we didn't have to wait at the restaurant. I was told to come here by a friend and I am so glad we did. I will absolutely come back! I had the hash skillet and it was good but I wish they put more hash on it. The Bloody Mary flight was also good, but they took the menu and didn't explain them or let us know which was which. Probably won't get that again.

    Biscuits and gravy w/ sausage links and fresh fruit.

    Friendly service, generous portions. Best biscuits and gravy I've had in a very long time! We were in town for a long weekend and wound up coming here two days in a row.

    This was my second visit to he location. My first visit was just so-so but we were starving due to having to fast for labs and Broken Yolk was near the lab draw facility. We had to wait to be seated as the hostess was feverishly trying to set up multiple tables by herself for a large party; it was a little uncomfortable to watch her trying so hard whilst many co-workers stood by as she was setting up everything up. We were finally seated and quickly received service. This feels like an IHOP inside almost...just a standard breakfast place motif. I ordered the Rancher omelet with home fries and an English muffin. Husband ordered a pancake short stack. Food came out relatively quickly and looked visibly delicious for the most part. The Rancher is full of bacon, homefries, green bell peppers, tomatoes, green onions and topped with sour cream. It was very dry and was overwhelmingly full of green peppers to the point that I couldn't even taste bacon. The omelet is begging for some cheddar cheese inside. I could only manage to eat half of it, after dousing it in ketchup. The home fries were barely cooked and woefully under seasoned. I would have loved to taste a roasted onion flavor with a crispy outside to these potatoes...none of which was found. The highlight was the English muffin which was delightfully toasted, fluffy and quite delicious. Thankfully hubby gave me more butter for the English muffin off his pancakes which elevated it to buttery. His pancakes looked amazing...fluffy, golden and hot...but they tasted like they were tangy? Almost like the buttermilk was "sourer" or something. He thought they were "fine" but couldn't finish them. It was $30 for our meals, without drinks. I would say for that amount the food should be good enough to come back. This place will not be a place we will seek out, unfortunately. There are some amazing breakfast and brunch options at a lower price point. Service was very friendly and attentive, which is why I felt bad giving Broken Yolk Cafe anything less than 3 stars.

    Hold the phone - I think that we could have the best hollandaise sauce in the Boise area now. The…read moreClassic Benedict is pretty amazing as a blend of flavors. The eggs were actually poached perfectly. Seriously, my mouth is watering just reflecting on the food. The toasted single ciabatta is something that I liked versus a couple English muffins. The smoked ham a tad salty but paired with the hollandaise very well. Ripe tomatoes. The greens for a side was my choice versus potatoes. I'll have to try the potatoes next time because this day was going to be hot and smokey, so I needed to keep it light. I drink coffee black, and the coffee was really good. On the service, as some have complained about, I can't really speak to that. I went in before work, so I was there at 7. By the time I left at 7:45, two more tables came in and one had already left. 9 or 10am on a Sunday is probably different. So the service was good for me. The decor was an updated nautical theme that I seen before. A few decades ago, I went to a First Watch in a land far away. When it was brought to the Boise area, I thought it would be interesting to have that seasonal approach option compared to fixed menu Cisco approach. And if you're good with a standard pancake, maple flavored syrup, a couple slices of bacon, and two plain scrambled eggs - do that. If you like something interesting, First Watch.

    So I decided to give this place a second chance and once again it was another let down. Food was…read moremediocre at best. With some of it just not good at all. The million dollar bacon as they call it is nothing to brag about either. So let's get into it a bit more. My meal was Avocado Toast that was decent but not great. When ordering Avocado toast I don't expect my avocado to be mashed and put on with a scoop of it, most places I get it have it sliced and looking presentable and the poached eggs on top as part of the presentation as well not slopped in a cup on the side. It would have also been nice if they had everything bagel seasoning for the dish as well and could offer to customers. The fall breakfast sandwich my friend ordered was awful and way over flavored with the maple. We ended up getting that replaced it was that bad. I would also like to add that the potato's are not that great either. Tasted like they were undercooked and had a crunch to the cent of them not a crispy exterior. When it came to the service it was good and she was really nice and accommodating to the over the top friend that was there enjoying brunch with me. She handled him like a pro. The manager was really nice and wanted to please us because of the food that wasn't great. The restaurant has a nice feel and the service team does its best to create an environment and ambiance that is enjoyable for the customers.
