    Iced Pineapple Matcha
    Jessica V.

    Had free kids meal gift certificates so we finally tried this place out! Seated right away at 8:30am on a Sunday, with great quick service. Our kids loved their breakfasts, and so did we! I tried the new pineapple matcha and it was good! Biscuits and gravy so delicious, and mom's omelette was amazing too. Coffee was flowing, generous portions, clean place! We will totally be back!!

    Had brunch here multiple times (at this location and others), and it's been enjoyable every single time. The menu is huge, which makes it hard to decide - but that's a good problem to have. My boyfriend is a big omelette fan, so he's always happy with the wide variety of omelette options. We've tried the Chicken Fried Steak, Mom Omelette, and the California Breakfast Burrito. Everything was delicious and the portions were generous. Service here really stands out. Several staff members stopped by to check in and make sure everything was going well. When I was packing up leftovers, our server Alex noticed my salsa container didn't have a lid and immediately asked if I wanted one so it wouldn't spill. It's those small, thoughtful gestures that make a big difference. Alex was our main server and did a fantastic job. We'll definitely be back.

    The service was good. The food was great cute little restaurant to eat at the wait was a bit long, but it was Mother's Day and it was only an hour, so really can't complain about that but we really loved it and enjoyed ourselves. Will be going there again soon, our waitress was great. I don't remember her name. We sat in a corner booth right when you walk into the right go by little couple booths and then the one in the corner there on Mother's Day morning about 10 1030. I wish I remembered her name but I'd like to give her props as well. She was a great waitress.

    The broken yolk is a long time regular breakfast/brunch place for me. I've been eating here for many years. My girlfriend and I were looking for brunch while waiting for an appointment nearby so we hit up the broken yolk. As usual it didn't disappoint. We both went with the French toast combo. She ordered a side of country potatoes and we split them. We put ourselves on the online waiting list and were seated as soon as we arrived. Our hostess took drink orders and our server verified the drinks and took our orders. Our drinks came right out and our food followed shortly thereafter. We'll definitely be back.

    The Broken Yolk Cafe really checks all the boxes for a prime brunch experience. The service was consistent and quick as we were able to be seated right away. There aren't any views available here but the chefs here can definitely cook one up for you.

    Avocado Toast
    Kristine Y.

    This restaurant has a large fun menu with lots of choices you are sure to find something you may enjoy. The restaurant is clean and there is plenty of parking to be had. The service is ok. They are neither attentive nor are they dismissive. It could just be that I went in a Saturday afternoon and they were busy. The food itself to me was subpar. Avocado toast - very very thin layer of avocado. The toast was more a bread than toast so it didn't have that fun texture difference. Completely overloaded with the onions. Eggs Bennie- was sloppy in presentation and the egg was way over cooked. The sauce was nice but almost too much. I am unsure if it is just because I went on the weekend but the reviews do not match what I experienced. I may come again not during the weekend time to check.

    Lemon Ricotta Pancakes or it is supposed to be

    Much better this time! I ordered for delivery. My husband loves breakfast so much. I like breakfast, but it's not my favorite. I ordered the build your own omelette with hash-browns and an orange juice. The omelette needed more cheese. It was all egg. My husband got a Cali breakfast burrito and the biscuit and gravy meal. He said it was really good and enjoyed it. Service was great, we got all the condiments we requested. Food was still warm on delivery.

    Teacher Appreciation

    In celebration of Teacher Appreciation Week, our team at Primrose School of Plano at Chase Oaks would like to thank John and the Broken Yolk for spoiling our staff with a delicious, warm, and tasty breakfast. We highly recommend this scrumptious restaurant for both its amazing food and excellent customer service!

    The service here is amazing! I had called ahead to see if they could accommodate a large group with dogs and they said they could. I hadn't specified a time or asked for a reservation but when I arrived they had set aside a table for us already. The food was delicious with huge portion sizes. Everyone from our party had to get to go boxes because the plates were that large. I'd recommend trying out some of their omelettes or biscuits and gravy.

    Ranchero Skillet

    We went here for brunch on our LA trip. I ordered the Ranchero skillet...spices. Fast service. Love going here on our LA trips

    Border Benedict with hashbrowns  The Homefries are better than the Hashbrowns.
    Jasmine N.

    The Border Benedict is my jam. Sometimes the meat is a bit dry and not super flavorful, but the sauce with the sweet corn cake and all the other flavors are so good. They also have mimosa and Bloody Mary flights, which I loved because I always want to try everything. Their menu is definitely a bit overwhelming. When I couldn't decide, our server let us know we could mix and match Benedict's! That's awesome! I decided to mix and match and got one border and one sope Benedict. They were both delicious, but the border Benedict is still my favorite. Our server also offered us free reusable tote bags! I recently tried their takeout, which held up well! Of course I got the Border Benedict and my friend got the waffle. The Border Benedict was delicious as usual, but I wasn't happy they didn't let us know there was no butter or syrup in the bag for the waffle. They didn't ask me what kind of potatoes when I ordered over the phone, and i ended up with hashbrowns. The homefries are better. This place can get packed, so I try not to go during busy times, and make sure you check your order and ask for any condiments before you go!

    Mexican Inspired American Breakfast! Food: The food was a bit bland, but I can appreciate the unique menu options for an American style restaurant! Service: Workers were kind and quick! Ambiance: The place is spacious and getting seating was fast! Lots of natural light!

    Holiday decor!
    Anthony F.

    The Broken Yolk is one of our favorite breakfast chains. This spot didn't disappoint. The place isn't hard to find and there's plenty of parking. The inside is roomy and we were pleasantly surprised to see holiday-themed decor. You can argue about pulling out the Christmas tree before Thanksgiving, but it was nice. We came on a weekday around noon and it wasn't busy. We were seated and served promptly, with hot coffees and water brought out right away. I ordered a meat lover's skillet, which had ham, sausages, peppers and thinly sliced potatoes with three eggs on top, I ordered mine over easy, and opened them up so the yolk could mix into the rest of the food. The skillet didn't look as big as I had hoped, but it was plenty filling. My +1 ordered a salmon eggs Benedict, which was tender and delicious. The capers went well with the salmon and the hollandaise sauce brought it all together. They also have kid's options, and our little one must be in the middle of a growth spurt because he's constantly hungry. The generous portion of pancakes, along with a scrambled egg and two pieces of bacon, were enough to satisfy him. For the time being. Overall, the food was great, service was great, and we left satisfied.

There is a crispy shell, two different sauces, and condiments to add with it. There is a lot of different textures and the meat was juicy. The smoked salmon flatbread wasn't as good, it looks very colorful and pretty, but I didnt think the flavors went together very well. I like the smokiness but the salmon wasn't umami enough to justify mixing in caviar and avocado and arugula that would normally pair well with beef. Finally, had the chicken tinga skillet, which had flavor in the sauce, but the chicken itself was just ok.

I wanted to share some comprehensive feedback regarding a recent experience, aiming to highlight both your successes and areas where further refinement could elevate the customer journey even further. First and foremost, I must commend your team for their exceptional warmth and hospitality. From my initial phone call to the moment I picked up my order, I felt genuinely welcomed and valued. This level of customer service, which often feels lacking in many establishments today, truly sets American Grub apart. It creates a welcoming atmosphere that significantly enhances the overall experience, and I sincerely hope this commitment to friendliness remains a cornerstone of your operation. However, I encountered a couple of points that, in my personal opinion, warrant consideration for improvement. Regarding the payment process, I felt a degree of apprehension about providing my credit card details over the phone. While I understand the operational need to secure orders and prevent potential losses, particularly for larger transactions, for a single item like my bacon cheeseburger, priced at $17.24 including tax, this practice felt somewhat disproportionate. I also noted the 99-cent fee for online payments, which, while minor, might deter some customers who are seeking convenience without additional charges. Perhaps exploring alternative secure payment links for phone orders or adjusting the fee structure for smaller transactions could enhance customer comfort and streamline the process. My primary concern, however, arose upon returning home. Despite ordering a bacon cheeseburger, I discovered the burger completely lacked bacon, as well as any form of sauce or mayonnaise. This oversight had a significant impact on the meal; the absence of these core components rendered the burger quite bland and far from the experience I had anticipated. When ordering a single item, the expectation for meticulous attention to detail is particularly high, as there are fewer variables. Consequently, the overall value of the meal, given the missing ingredients, was not quite met on this occasion. I did reach out to the owner privately via email to discuss these points, and I appreciate their responsiveness and transparency in addressing my feedback, particularly concerning the rationale behind the phone payment policy. It is reassuring to know that your business is open to customer input. My hope is that these observations can serve as constructive input, allowing American Grub to continue refining its excellent service and product quality. I remain a supporter of your local endeavor and look forward to seeing these aspects addressed. Thank you for reaching out. To clarify, all my reviews and communications are crafted solely from my personal experiences and genuine perspectives, not AI. Every word and insight you read is authentically mine, driven by my commitment to provide honest feedback.

The bun was also noticeably crushed and flattened, giving a careless presentation. While appearance isn't everything, it didn't help when the taste was equally disappointing. The overall dining experience was not much better. Only two of us dined in, with no other customers inside. Although several to-go orders were being prepared, our food still took longer than expected. The atmosphere was less enjoyable than I had hoped. Staff members were quite loud in the kitchen, and an employee sat next to our table, speaking loudly on a phone call for an extended period, making it hard to enjoy the meal. I'm sharing this feedback hoping management will address these issues. The meal did not reflect the quality I expect from a restaurant that prides itself on its food. For the price, customers deserve food and service that match the advertised quality.
