Just had breakfast at Canopy Road Café for the first time today and was very pleased. The hostesses and my server, James, were friendly and accommodating, and the food was fresh and delicious (real homemade, none of this frozen "corporate" food). I ordered their cinnamon roll, and it was so yummy (and I'm a stickler for a good cinnamon roll)! I also ordered the bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich on Texas toast with hash-browns. The sandwich was great, but will I say the hashbrowns were just OK -- I'll probably go with the country potatoes next time. Overall, I had a very pleasant experience I would definitely come back. *I didn't get a pic of the cinnamon roll, but, trust me, it was good! read more

I came in here absolutely starving after a medical procedure and was happily full by the time I left! The overall vibes were casual in a nice way -- nothing too aggressively themed, just a good and bright breakfast spot. Our server, Bonnie, was friendly and helpful. I ended up ordering a hodge podge of breakfast items: eggs over medium, hash browns, cheese grits, a waffle, and a blueberry muffin split and grilled. My mom got an egg sandwich with grits and vegetarian sausage (yay!). Our food came pretty quickly, and I hoovered up everything on my plate. Everything tasted the way you'd expect: just good breakfast food. The hash browns had a crisp top, which is vital for me. The malted waffle stood out the most; I could smell it the second our server walked out of the kitchen with it and I ate the whole thing, even though I frequently split a waffle and take half home for later. The muffin was good, but a special shoutout for the option to have it split, buttered, and lightly grilled. I immediately requested my mom start trying that with her own blueberry muffins next time I'm over. It's a little pricey, but what isn't these days? It sure hit the spot. read more

I've been to Canopy Road Cafe many times and just realized I never wrote a review. They are consistently good pretty much every time we went. Staff has always been friendly and food delicious. I remember when they first opened, we were pleasantly surprised by the energetic staff, the bright and clean dining area, and we have been a fan ever since. We've only dined there for breakfast only and I do enjoy their build your own skillet or omelet. I also like that they have creative specials outside of their regular menu if you want to try something different. read more

As usual this is an amazing place . James and his staff make you feel right at home . Food and service is extraordinary. If you like the feel of eating at a place where you feel right at home don't miss eating here . Make sure you start off with their blueberry muffin which is buttered and grilled so good read more

The food is decent but the reason for 4 stars is the price. It is just insanely expensive. We love to go out for breakfast and we love brunch and we just wanted a nice little outing. However, my breakfast sandwich with a very tiny side of fruit was $16. My daughter ordered a kids meal and a drink which was around $11... It's just crazy for two people to go out for breakfast is almost $30 before tip. I did not even allow myself to get coffee because the menu prices were just so high, which was a bummer. The value just isn't there for what you're paying. I will say service was good but again the pricing was just frustrating. Their portions are on the smaller side so there's not even like a really expensive meal with a little bit of leftovers to stretch it out. read more

The FOOD WAS GREAT! The SERVICE FELL WAY SHORT. As a YELPer I pride myself in being pretty fair and try to make my reviews line up with the score and I try to assume the best even when an experience falls short. With that said, this should have been a 5 all day long but the service was abysmal. I started to give it a 3 but that seems too harsh. Things started out great. The young man sat me and another server grabbed my coffee but then I got handed off to another server. She took my order but never came back. Someone else brought me my food, another took my empty plate, the other cashed me out (after waiting 20 minutes for her to come back and maybe refill my coffee). That said, the Chicken Tinga Omelette was one of the best things I have ever eaten for breakfast. Omelette was cooked perfectly, chicken was marinated, shredded and delicious. Served over seasoned black beans and topped with cotija cheese. It was great. It is the only reason the review is a 4 and not a 3 but had the service been marginally better it would have been a 5 hands down! read more

Canopy Road had been on my list to try for so long, and we finally made it in. Lowlight- the cinnamon roll didn't live up to the hype. The donut holes more than made up for it though, and the rest of our food did too. With my savory brunch fare I was wishing for a Bloody Mary, but they do have mimosas. I stuck with coffee. There's more I want to go back and try. read more

A classic breakfast spot with all the favorites plus some unique menu items. The cinnamon roll was bready and not our favorite but everything else was quite good. I loved the decoration and fun wallpaper in the restaurant. There aren't a ton of tables so I can imagine it gets busy quick at peak breakfast hours. The service was very friendly and fast. read more

My experience here wasn't great. We went midmorning on a Saturday and seemed to arrive at a good time when only a handful of tables were filled. As we were there, though, the place definitely seem to get busier. We reviewed the menu and asked about a children's menu, which they ended up having. Although it wasn't in print, our waitress knew that the options included French toast sticks, a Mickey pancake, Canopy Road breakfast with toast/eggs/meat, grilled cheese sandwich, hamburger/cheeseburger, and chicken tenders. Fries were included with the lunch options. We started with the cinnamon roll and ordered the Mexican omelette that had chorizo, pepper, jack and cheddar cheeses, onions, peppers, and was supposed to be top with pico de gallo and micro cilantro. We also got another omelette that we built and the kids hamburger with fried. The cinnamon roll came out quickly and shortly after, the entrées arrived. I first noticed that the kids burger had cheese on it, though we had ordered a hamburger. They took the cheeseburger and fries back. Later on, they brought out a hamburger with no fries, saying that the fries would be coming. The hamburger ended up having butter on the bun and had to be sent back for just a plain bun due to a dairy allergy. They brought the bun back quickly and we waited on the fries. The omelettes were just ok. The chorizo was definitely overcooked and hard, the cheese was concentrated on one side of the omelette, and the omelettes were not fluffy. They both appeared quite simple. I would say that the pluses about this place were that the biscuit was good, the cinnamon roll was delicious, and the fruit was fresh. The omelettes were nothing more impressive than what could be made at home and when both adults were done, we were still waiting on the kid's meal fries. When we asked for the bill, we shared with the waitress that the fries never came. She inquired about whether we wanted to wait longer on the fries or take the burger off the bill. This was surprising to me as most places would've just suggested taking it off the bill given that it was made incorrectly and the fries never arrived. She asked us our preference and opted to take it off the bill. She then proceeded to take the burger (which was uneaten) away as well. I wouldn't say that this was excellent customer service. I'm not sure that this is a place that I would return to. I found most of the food relatively average and the customer service was just OK. read more

By far our favorite spot for Saturday morning breakfast! Always enjoy their build your own skillets. The coffee is amazing too! We started buying to have it at home on our non Canopy days. My daughter is a fan of their pancakes! read more

One of the things about Canopy that I love most is the regulars. I think it speaks a lot about the business to have repeat customers and to see the familial banter with workers. It's a beautiful thing! Went for a late breakfast so didn't have the usual longer wait, just a quick 5-10 mins until we were seated. Service was friendly and attentive. Received our food fairly quickly, too. I don't get to come here often but when I do, I always enjoy what I order. Today was no different. Just went with basic breakfast orders: the hasher and canopy road special. First time trying the hasher upon raving reviews from a few friends. It was ok. I think my expectations were high, and while I liked the cook on the hash (crispy), I don't believe it was homemade corned beef - please correct me if I'm wrong. And I'm not a fan of the canned stuff. Regardless, still enjoyed breakfast and will keep Canopy Road on the breakfast spot rotation. read more

Came back to Canopy after not going for awhile and was very interested when I saw that their menu had been updated. I also noticed that they now has seasonal specials and luckily for me one of them really stood out to me , the Short Rib Benedict. If you know me you know I love short ribs and that I'm a sucker for different types of benedicts. Unlucky for me though that were currently out of it. So I went with my back up benedict which always has been Crab Cakes Benedict. The Crab Cakes Benedict comes with Two tender crab cakes atop sautéed spinach on grilled ciabatta with two basted eggs covered in creamy hollandaise, pico de gallo, scallions and Old Bay seasoning. Now I opted for no spinach of course and home fries for my side since Ashley is always known to get hash browns. Our food came out in about 10 minute and my crab cakes were nice and large. They were pretty tasty but not the best crab cakes benedict I have had. Metro has been doing their best to keep that title. I was also a big fan of the home fries were I believe are deep fried and not pan fried so you get crispier potatoes. Ashley got the Southern Benedict which comes with A split buttermilk biscuit topped with pimento cheese, fried green tomatoes, sausage patties and two basted eggs then covered in creamy hollandaise sauce. This was going to be my third pick had there been no Crab Cakes Benny so that at least really worked out. Can't go wrong with Pimento Cheese on anything especially when you got fried green tomatoes. This was also very good. Will for sure be coming for often to Canopy now since we are now in the middle of 2. Just gotta make sure you get there early because they full up fast but you once seated you are pretty much in and out within 30 minutes. read more

... well. This is more of a service to those who love to order corned beef hash. If you're going to serve Hormel canned corned beef, and have the nerve to put that on the receipt but not on the menu, do it. The audacity to charge $14 for a quarter of a can of Hormel is asinine. Grits could use some love. Toast proper stale. Cream cheese served in a packet. Overall do not recommend. The server even admitted there have been so many issues with the cream cheese packets, she offered scissors. Server was great. Restaurant is clean. Host stand is in the corner tucked away and easy to miss upon entry. I've posted a photo of the meal in comparison to a different restaurant in town that charges the same amount. Overall, hard pass. read more

I've never had a bad meal here and I've been here quite a few times. The staff is wonderful. The food is wonderful. I highly recommend.

Breakfast dates are the best. We stopped by on our way from an early morning doctor appointment. The rave reviews are really worth the hype. From the outside this restaurant is small and unassuming; however, inside is the hustle and bustle of a true small town diner where everyone is framily. The staff is very friendly and the food is great with large portions. If I could only get the recipe for their cinnamon rolls I would never leave my house. read more

Arrived 30 minutes before close and was seated right away. Got the blueberry muffin and cinnamon roll for appetizers and they were both amazing. Tender, warm, buttery... just perfect. Typical breakfast with eggs, has browns (extra crispy,) bacon, sausage link, and a side of blueberry cobbler pancakes. Everything was cooked perfectly and had great flavor. I didn't particularly like the flavor of the sausage link, but it was just personal preference. My favorite sausage is Azar or Country Pleasing. Great food and awesome service! read more

Down and dirty: Always a bit of a wait so plan accordingly. However, there is a reason for that! It's delicious, efficient and affordable! I recommend you try it and I may just see you in line! I've been several times and is my favorite breakfast spot. The menu has a mix of everything for everyone. Healthy breakfast, not so healthy breakfast, and lunch. I haven't had anything I didn't like. Same with everyone I have brought here with me. No complaints about the food or the service. The only thing I don't like are the hours. It closes at 2 and wish it stayed open for a little longer, 5 would be ideal. It would probably help with the long wait too. read more

The food is great at the other location. Everytime I've come to this one I've been disappointed and wonder if it's the same owner. I never felt the need really for a bad review until today. So I asked for extra compote and vanilla topping and this is what they do. The pancake has completely dissolved due to the liquid and it's inedible. Time before this bacon was completely burnt couldn't eat it. Time before that the waitress who served me in the drive thru was extremely rude. This place could be great like the shops LN location but the people who work here are to inconvenienced by people eating at the restaurant. Look at that picture what they did. I obviously struck a nerve with the cook staff so they took out out on the pancake. SMDH ‍ read more

Cute cafe close to home. Everything we have tried so far has been delicious. Service has always been fast.

One of the worst places I have ever eaten. We were a party of six, including a special needs child. First of all, upon entering the restaurant, you feel a very heavy air from the heat and oil. You want to eat food in a well-ventilated place. Then, the table given to us was dirty, with food on the table and stuck to the menus. The chairs were dirty, and the floor underneath was not clean. The food we ordered (omelettes, pancakes, eggs Benedict, and a basket of biscuits) was bland and mediocre at best. But the worst part for us was the attitude of a lady who appeared to be in charge of the restaurant. Our special needs child accidentally spilled some water on the table and floor. First of all, this could happen to anyone; it is pretty common and not a big deal! It is water, after all, spilled on an already dirty floor. Second, we immediately cleaned up the water on the table with all the napkins we had and informed the server that there was some water on the floor so they could be aware and take care of it. The server reported this to the lady in charge, and what we got was a shaking head and rolling eyes. Lastly, the server brought us the check while we were still eating our breakfast. Zero stars for the customer service. I hope this was a one-time unfortunate experience, but our entire party agreed that we definitely would not be back to this restaurant. read more

My husband loves breakfast snd says this is the best biscuits and gravy he's ever had! So we go here a lot . I love all their varieties of waffles and eggs are always cooked to perfection.

A few ladies and I went to brunch at Canopy Road Cafe. I am always game for trying a new restaurant. The restaurant was a little far from where I live, but I'm always game for good food. Canopy Road Cafe is a small intimate brunch place located on Phillips Road. I probably would have missed it if I didn't have my GPS. Like every brunch spot on Sunday, the place was full. The hostess said the wait time would be about 30 to 35 minutes, but the wait seemed closer to an hour which was okay because I really didn't have much to do. This may be good to know for someone short on time though. The menu was a traditional breakfast with a few interesting things sprinkled in. I really wasn't in the mood for breakfast, so I decided to get a beyond burger since they didn't have a turkey burger option. The burger was decent, but I wish they had turkey options. The fries were also nice and hot. My others in my party got an order of the fried green tomatoes, cinnamon bun, crab cake with home fries, and Philly cheese steak fries with onion rings. One of the ladies was not a huge fan of the crab crake, but the fried green tomatoes and Cinnabon I sampled was nice. Again, this place is a little far out for me, but if you're in the area you may enjoy it. read more
