We go to the Broken Yolk at least once a month and the service is ALWAYS exceptiona! They all work as a team and are so kind to each other. so great to witness. We had Susie as our server today at the counter and she was fantastic! Would recommended this place and her service any day! read more

$25 for a Steak + 2 Eggs + Potatoes & a Pancake WOW! ZATS CRAZY DEAL. For the value of the steak and egg combo alone it's a 5 stars. My wife got the Sopes and as you can tell she was *Tantazlied* by the flavors. Don't be discouraged if there is a MOUNTAIN of people outside the wait times are usually 20-25min! Fih STAH read more

Broken Yolk Cafe - New York Steak & Eggs - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Oceanside, California

I am not huge on high volume breakfast joints, but if the need arises, I would definitely head to the Broken Yolk. They've got several locations throughout North San Diego. Our nearest spot was in South Oceanside. We headed there one Sunday around mid-morning to celebrate my son's 1st Communion. We had quite a few relatives in town to see the massive step for my son and his faith and so we wanted to treat our family and friends to something that would fill their bellies. And something a little more than Dennys or IHOP. I mean nothing wrong with either of those two spots. I love pancakes and the Monte Cristo at 2am at any Dennys will certainly hit the sweet spot! But...u know what I mean?!? So step 1, it was Saturday morning and the event was roughly 24 hours away. I knew they can get crowded on occasion hit this was the weekend AFTeR Mother's Day so I felt it may not be THaT crowded. Nonetheless, I called to make a reservation. The phone leads you to Yelp to make the Res. So I head to the site whereupon I read that if the party is over 8 you have to call instead. So now I'm starting to get a little sweaty. (You know, the precursor to anger which then can lead to rage?). Suffice to say it never reaches the boiling point even though when I called, the server answers and upon hearing g my request for accommodations for roughly 12-14 people, immediately refers me back ti the site. I stop her mid-sentence fully aware of her intentions and redirect her to me, right there, and right now. Waiting on the other end of that telephone line for assistance. Thank you to her, as she obliged and basically told me to come in and mention what I just said to her. So first thought of advice for the folks at the BY....you may want to solidify your reservation policy as everyone seemed a bit confused. So despite all of that, our party arrived exactly at the time mentioned, only TK have to wait for close to 39 min anyways! Again, BY management please see comment above. But I'm with a group who loves Jesus and just came from a beautiful ceremony for my son and so the vibes a currently positive. (They remain that way because God is Good!) Our server was awesome! Cannot recall his name but he took our party on (complete with at least half a dozen young kids) and did so with positivity the entire time! Loved that dude! Anyone who's been in the restaurant game knows what I mean about the 6 youngsters in the party. Heck they were involved in an intense full blown game of freeze tag once the food had been devoured. Thankfully the other patrons and workers thought them to be "cute". And yes I know the hidden meaning there but what are you gonna do?!? And by the way, wifey was out of town with the oldest and so I was solo with these hoodlums! All good through because again, Jesus is the Reason! Food was solid as it always is and had come to be expected. I cannot recall all of the order but I know that nobody left hungry and all were more than satisfied. Except maybe our waiter. As awesome as he was (and he was-Thank you God) he almost received a double tip as my father in law, who is one of those guys who tries to beat you to the bill and pay for everything before you even finish half your meal, did so without telling anyone and had already filled out the tip portion at around $50 unknowing that 18% had already been added due to the party size. Lucky for him I noticed and corrected. UNLucky for him is that h e noticed his method of beating me to the bill for over 20 years now and while he thinks his 75 year old behind is as quick as a mongoose in a pit of vipers, and as stealthy as.....well, I don't know what is stealthy right now...except for maybe me! Because this is where I was going here. I've known his tricks for decades yet.....quiet is the son-in-law who knows his place. Great time! Great food! GREAT server! (Sorry about taking the double tip back) and Great is Our God for he is Merciful! Cheers! read more

Visited Broken Yolk on 4/12 around noon. The GM (I believe her name was Toressa or Clarissa) was working the hostess desk. She said the wait for a booth was about 30 minutes. I asked about counter seating and was told it's first come, first served, but asked to still be put on the waitlist in case my partner wanted a booth. That simple request set her off. She got visibly upset and threw the iPad used for the waitlist to a young hostess. I asked what her name was and what the issue was, and she said I changed my mind after she "accommodated" me. When I asked if she was okay, she ignored me. Again, I asked her what her problem was and she ignored me. The hostess later explained she was stressed because it was busy--but it was a Sunday lunch rush, which is expected. A server also mentioned other customers have had similar issues with her. Very unprofessional behavior from someone in a GM role, especially taking it out on staff and guests. She's TOXIC and should be fired. read more

We went on a busy Saturday, for brunch. We added ourselves to the waitlist only minutes before arriving. But, amazingly we're seated quickly. Our server came over, who was SPECTACULAR (I wish I could remember her name. She was an older woman). Very knowledgeable able the new addition to their menu, Smaller-Side. I ordered from that. Definitely not too much smaller than a full portion, but whatever. Obviously decor was typical of any chain dining establishment. We will be back, simply because the staff have been cool and the food is always yum for us. read more

We like this place for breakfast on the weekends. So does everyone else! Our server Suzy was super nice and fast. What we love best is that they have an automated "wait list" that you can join before you get to the restaurant. Saves time during busy weekend mornings. This is our go to for a close to home meal. read more

Looks like it's been 8 years since I last reviewed Broken Yolk! Time for another one! Came in super early today on a Sunday and had a great experience! My server Thomas was super on top of it and friendly! The food was delicious! I had the "mom" omelette with green peppers, red peppers, mushrooms, spinach and avocado! The eggs and vegetables were cooked perfectly! Had the hash browns ant tortilla to make it compete. Add my cup of coffee and it was an excellent breakfast! read more

Food is so good, service is great & efficient! Will be in & out in an hour. As a Mexican I will say I like their American breakfast better than their Mexican food.

We love coming here. Always greeted with a smile! It's not knock your socks off food but it's consistent and it is good. I got the meat lovers omelette today which was delicious. Has to make a couple adjustments to the sides and Thomas our server was extremely helpful. He's awesome and was perfectly attentive to our table. It was busy but the noise level isn't overbearing or anything. Still quiet enough to have a low volume convo. Until next time read more

First time at this location. Server was pretty terrible unfortunately. We sat there for a good while before we even got our food ordered. Once our food was delivered by another staff member, our server never even came by to check if everything was going well. He came by to neighboring tables multiple times but still never checked in with us. We asked for some coffee and as he was filling my cup he ran out so my cup was less than half full. He'll come back with a full pot of coffee to refill, right? Nope. Had to ask another server for more coffee. Pretty disappointed in this visit. Might give it another shot in the future but we'll see. read more

Broken Yolk Cafe - Tiki Toast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Oceanside, California

Came for lunch on a weekday. The place was pretty empty but I wasn't concerned as it seems to be a weekend brunch place. They have a new small plate menu priced at $9.95. The portions are just enough. Ordered the chilaquiles with one egg and black beans. The beans were over salted and our server kindly swapped them out for us. The red and green salsas were good and added flavor to the dish. Service was great. Would go to 3.5. read more

This is my go to breakfast spot in the area. It does get super packed on Saturdays and Sundays, but it's worth the wait. I haven't been let down on my food once since I started going here (and I've gone like 20 times). My only critique is that the staff can be slow at times. read more

This was the second time in two months both the service and food were not good. (The first time service was bad; food was just passable). This time we got there before 9 am on a Tuesday. There were very few customers at tables. Ordered at 9. Saw our food in the window at 9:15. Our waiter walked by the window half a dozen times. Finally got our food at 9:25 (from another server). It was cold. Got the manager to find our waiter. Told him we'd pay for the coffee but that was it. He said not to worry about it. No apology, no offer to have the food remade - nothing. Need to find another place for breakfast. Sad... read more

Food is great. Service is excellent. Ambiance is always relaxed and chilled. They make sure everyone is taken care of. Holidays can be a little tricky, but its a good spot to eat at. read more

Service was great. The staff members were very friendly and attentive. The restaurant was a little busy but we added our names to the online waitlist and got sat down fairly quick. We were a party of 6. I ordered the salmon avocado toast with poached eggs and the mimosa flight. My food was pretty good and the tropical mimosa flight was delicious! Everyone at the table enjoyed their food too. Great experience, good breakfast/brunch spot. read more

Broken yolk is such a strange place. It's always crowded but the food is literally nothing special. I got the strawberry waffle combo and added home fries. I was expecting like a strawberry compote but to be fair it does just say strawberries and whipped cream on the description. Don't expect real whipped cream either. It's from the can. Waffle was dry. Home fries has potential but they were uncooked. Would like them to be crispy a was not what I was expecting anyways. More like a scalloped potato type cut and floppy. Eggs and bacon were ok. Not the best cook either. Husband had the biscuit and gravy. The biscuit was actually pretty good but there wasn't much gravy and came with a greasy piece of fried chicken. My son had the chilaquiles. I thought it was actually decent but he said it tasted more like pasta sauce and It for sure looked like pasta sauce in color and consistency as well. We only came here because it was Easter and wanted something with an online waitlist. Service was friendly enough but I don't see us coming back on purpose read more

This is always our go to spot. They have yummy omelettes and a variety of options. They're iced vanilla latte is so delicious.

Huge portions. Friendly staff. Lively breakfast/brunch crowd. My go-to meal is the Mom Omelet (no spinach or mushrooms - too watery), with hash browns and a blueberry muffin. Their hash browns are the only way I like hash browns -- non-mushed together shreds of potato and perfectly crispy. It can be a short wait on the weekends. Check on the Yelp waitlist before you come! read more

Accommodated our large walk-in group of 13 for our niece's birthday celebration. Wait time was around 45 minutes on a busy Sunday. Everyone was happy with their meals. It was a decent brunch place with friendly, accommodating workers! They don't do birthday stuff but we told our server and he came out with a little cupcake for the birthday girl, which was really nice! read more

Great service. Loved the food. Highly recommend. Kids meal breakfast was also a hit.

I've been to broken yolk a few times as a kid but haven't been back since. While the options on the menu seemed promising the food was not great. I got the country scramble and the gravy lacked flavor. It was a pretty bland dish and I felt that the gravy was pretty disappointing considering it was what made the dish different from the other scrambles. The service was decent but none of us were impressed with our food. My friend didn't like his pancakes which was a bummer since we'd think they'd be good at a chain restaurant but unfortunately the food just didn't hit. read more

It was a fairly busy morning but we only had to wait about 15 mins to be seated. The guy who seated us was very nice as was our server. She was also very attentive throughout our meal. My wife had the Nutella crepes and they were tasty although she would have liked a little more whipped cream. The Nutella was drizzled on the crepes but there was little or none on the inside. I had the omelette which was also good with a lot of ham. The blueberry muffin was hot and fresh and could have been the highlight of the meal. We will go back for sure but it may not be our first choice. read more

Vegan review I absolutely love the açaí bowl and the vegan breakfast bowl. I had the vegan bowl without siracha because it's not my jam. It was breakfast potatoes with a plant based veggie omelette, plant sausage and half an avocado. Delicious. I could only eat half so I had left overs. Also the açaí bowl is three scoops topped with agave or honey (depends on you) and either granola or almonds with fresh berries on top. It's excellent and filling read more

From the money you walk in the door, it's crazy but the hostess has it all under control! Big smile - very attentive to anyone who's got a question My server Susie T is probably one of the best servers I've had here! She's on top of everything, not just for me but all of her tables! Big smile! The smoked salmon avacado toast was yummy although the base bread was a little hard on the edges. Plenty of salmon and avacado tho This place is always busy! The ambience is hectic but controlled by the servers, seaters, and other staff! What's cool is that when a "seater" is escorting people to their seats, they always ask how the customers day is going and also thank them for their patience and waiting for a table! Good training here! Well done! read more

Very clean establishment and big too! We were sat pretty fast, and greet by our waiter. Soon after we both were in heaven enjoying a fine cup of coffee(for me) and a mimosa for my wife. The food was very good and filling. Chicken and waffles was my choice, with side of eggs and toast. The waffles were so airy on the inside. And the chicken was great. Kinda reminded me of chicken cutlets. Very good. My wife had something fruity as always. Which looked delicious I have to say. A little pricey but worth it. They even had a food challenge with the people's names and time it took. The fellow from Man Vs Food even took the challenge. Yes he completed it too. Good place. read more

We stopped in to grab breakfast before starting our journey home. I was able to join the waitlist before we arrived and were seated in about 15 mins. The young man who sat us was so pleasant! He asked how our day was, asked if we have been there before and even pointed out the bathrooms for us. He was very sweet. Our server was on top of things! She was moving all over that restaurant, busy but so nice! We both ordered the messy caramel latte and it was delicious! I ordered a skillet and so did my partner. Food came out quickly and hot! Everything was tasty. $66 for two skillets and coffees was a little high for a casual eatery but we would still come back! read more
