I got the loaded potato bow. It had bacon or sausage (you choose), onions, green peppers, cheddar cheese, and 2 eggs anyway you want it. I did feel my peppers and onion were way undercooked and they skimped on the cheese. Didn't feel very loaded to me like a loaded baked potato would be. My husband got the 3 egg omelet. Egg whites- turkey sausage, spinach and pepper jack. He enjoyed it! Normally comes with home fries or grits he got fruit for $1.99 more. And you also get to choose a toast with the meal. Service was phenomenal! Our server was friendly. And it took less than 10 minutes for our food to come out! read more

Eggs Up Grill - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Clayton, North Carolina

The food was just ok this visit I ordered the steak and eggs plate and though my steak was seasoned nicely the meal was a little underwhelming. The dreamcicle beverage wasn't my cup of tea either. the waitress gave below average service. She wasn't very friendly and gave short responses to questioned about new menu items. She messed up our order and then over charged us. Maybe she needs some additional training. read more

I HAD to update my review from 8 months ago!!WHAT A DIFFERENCE....From the moment we walked in we were greeted and before we were seated the manager, Miguel Reyes, wanted to sweep the area before seating us. He was attentive, kind and informative, just like the staff. Miguel greeted us and welcomed us and made our dining experience such a positive one. Being from New York, it was amazing to see the southern hospitality everyone speaks of. The atmosphere was perfect for an Easter Sunday brunch! For being as busy as it was, we did not wait long for our delicious food! Our waitress Stephanie was incredible and patiently took care of our party of 7. I highly recommend you check EGGS UP GRILL, great manager, staff, atmosphere and even better food! read more

I came here for the third time yesterday and I left a little disappointed. I decided to try a breakfast item since it was the morning even though I know I love their chicken, so I ordered the Classic Benny with a side of home fries. The eggs were so runny they didn't stay on the English muffin which made it very sloppy and difficult to eat (I know poached eggs are runny but it was extreme) and the hollandaise sauce wasn't very good. The home fries were great as always but I was pretty disappointed with the eggs benedict. My sister and my partner were both unsatisfied with their meals as well. I'm starting to think this place has solid lunch options but they fall short when it comes to breakfast. read more

Love coming here we expected a wait today but when I asked how long the wait was the young lady said she could not tell me, probably long is what she said. I said ok approximately how long... she couldn't even estimate. She said we already have a wait list like she didnt want to add anyone else. She explained we have a big group coming... ok how about the people already here willing to wait. Love this place and the food but this time was a miss. All I wanted was a approximate wait time witch usually we get. read more

Staff were friend, and placed my orders in a timely manner. Menu prices were reasonable, and the restroom was clean. There is only one restroom for each gender, so be mindful if there is a line waiting outside of each restroom. The Grand Classic breakfast tasted ok, but there was no spectacular wow factor that sparked excitement. My potatoes were cold, and the food temperature was warm. I like hot food. I may return again in the future. If I return, I'll definitely choose a table instead of a booth. I enjoy open concept seating, and I do not like to be interrupted by movements, vibration, and noise from the opposite party while dining at booths. read more

When you step into the place it's bright and spacious. The staff is nice. I ordered the Casa Baja omelette and share their amazing croissant donut which was amazing. The mocha ice coffee was delicious as well. I will definitely go back there. read more

Its never an easy thing finding a decent cafe that can serve an old school breakfast at a decent price, especially in a fast growing town like Clayton. One thing to take into consideration is the level of popularity here, This place is busy throughout the breakfast rush, much like going to a Broadway show, be prepared to take your place in line. Its a cafe in a strip mall so there is noting special about the ambience, but the menu provides a good variety, the cappuccino is excellent and the food is good. Although the omelet was good, I felt a bit shortchanged by the lack of a decent amount of cheddar cheese. A cheese omelet is an egg dish that's folded in half and filled with cheese, "FILLED WITH CHEESE", not just given a quick sprinkle. Clearly something I will take into consideration next time! The staff are great and they do seat people as quickly as possible, if I was to eat breakfast out again in Clayton any time in the future, this is where I would go. Cheers! read more

Eggs Up Grill - people eating in a restaurant - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Clayton, North Carolina

Best omelette and home fries I've had in a while. Everything was fresh, well seasoned and oh so yummy!

The food and services were both great. The ambiance also - a large light-filled room with many tables spread apart so you are not on top of other guests. We were in the area for an appointment and were happy to find such a good breakfast/lunch place. Wed go more often but we live too far away. It's a gem. read more

My wife and I visited EUG after attending church service based on the word of mouth reviews we had been hearing. When we walked in, the hostess greeted us with a smile and we were quickly seated. Our server Isabella welcomed us and took our drink orders. Shortly thereafter, she took our food order. During that time, she was very patient and helpful explaining the menu based on some questions my wife had. I had the Philly Cheesesteak omelet. My food was very warm and cooked v nicely. During our meal, the manager asked if we needed anything and thanked us for visiting. I would highly recommend Eggs Up Grill. Great food and exceptional service! We will definitely visit again! read more

Eggs Up Grill - Menu - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Clayton, North Carolina

I'm visiting family in Clayton so I searched food near me & saw this lovely breakfast/brunch restaurant. Although I placed my order to go online; this place was PACKED! Looks like this is the spot to go to for delicious breakfast food. Ordering online was straight forward. The hostess was pleasant, my food was ready so I didn't have to wait to receive my order. The portion size was perfect for me which is why I opted out of toast..getting grits AND potatoes was filling enough. The best part is that the price was reasonable!! My food was good! Just needed to add some salt & pepper to my grits (personal preference). Definitely recommending to friends & family & will return again! read more

Found this little diner in clayton after church. Very cure. It was definitely busy, which is good right? We saw apple cider mimosas and all these cool coffee drinks on the menu, so of course i wanted one. Welp, the restaurant doesn't have an alcohol license soooo no mimosa. My husband asked for a latte, he got a cup of coffee (waitress didn't know what it was or how to make it). We ordered crab cake Benedict and the texas farm house. Food was good, prices were good. I might come back when its not so busy and they actually offer mimosas read more

Clayton, North Carolina. First visit, since this place has just opened up. Service: On point! You're greeted as you walk through the door and the wait staff is friendly and professional. Two (I'm assuming) managers/owners were also walking around the dining room, checking in with each table. Nice touch. Dining room: A bit on the small side, but clean. The wooden chairs aren't the greatest for comfort, but they're just fine for a quick sit-down. Food: Very solid! Good coffee! Everything was cooked as requested, but I wasn't a fan of the sausage links. They were pretty dry, with almost a jerky-like texture. Probably just over cooked a bit. The eggs, grits and breakfast potatoes were perfect! The ONLY exception I'm noting: Food temp needs to be monitored. When it was delivered, it was barely at room temperature. The manager made a note of this, and went off to look into it. Overall, it's great to have another solid, go-to breakfast place in Clayton. There just aren't many, but this one should fit in just fine with the community! Totally recommend! Thanks for a great breakfast! read more

Wow. Such a good breakfast, highly recommend! Everything excellent, from the clean and lovely restaurant, to the great service by nice folks, to the large-portioned well prepared great tasting dishes. A blueberry muffin placed on the griddle? Oh yea! Huge 4 egg omelettes (try the chicken!), with great sides and meats. Really enjoyed our visit. read more

Ok, so let's set expectations. If you are looking for a good filling breakfast that you could make at home. Nothing fancy, just a solid breakfast ... then I would suggest staying at home and saving your money. The food quality here is nothing special. You would get the same stuff from the grocery store, so why pay these guys to do it. For instance ... the eggs ... I ordered scrambled eggs. I got egg "sheets", not sure how to describe it .... but likely just some egg mixture poured on a flat top and flipped once. Was not horrible, but again, not what I would expect. I can make much nicer eggs at home. The grits ... you know those 5 lb bags of grits you get at Food Lion ... those are the ones. I would expect maybe a better stone ground grit. I think you get my drift. The staff was very nice, the service very good, just not a big fan of the food. read more

Have been several times and the food is great every time. The service is excellent and very interaction has been pleasant. Food comes out quickly and is always tasty. read more

Good was really good. It gets really busy but the service was good. Everything tasted great!

It's just ok. It's overpriced for what you get. My food is always overly greasy and when I've ordered delivery my drinks were consistently forgotten. There is seriously a pool of grease in the bottom of the bowl. I've ordered delivery here twice and both times I was disappointed. I will not get food from here again. Wait time is incredible. I consistently decline DoorDash order from here when I'm driving because the tips are never enough to compensate for the wait time. I do appreciate they keep delivery food in hot bags so at least I know my customers food will not be cold and affect my rating in any way. Most staff is friendly but the time I dined in I honestly believe one of the servers was on drugs by her overly erratic behavior. I wasn't the only one who noticed. I also wait a good 25 minutes for my food with a toddler. He started to act up because he was so hungry. Took 10 minutes just to get drinks. I ordered fruit and oatmeal for him. As someone who's been a server before, they could have at least brought his fruit out and drink to keep him calm as I wait in the rest. I would give dine in another try if I trusted my skillet dish wouldn't have a pool of oil. The home fries are excellent though, the best in town which is the only reason I've given it more than one chance read more

The portion sizes are small.. The prices are ridiculously high for portion size..for avocado toast-The avocado is not even spread and it's not on a piece of toast that's warm, 2 cold small pieces of bread..I feel like if they're gonna charge you that much, for two pieces of bread-avocado.. they can at least make the presentation with something else, everything bagel seasoning optional , some veggies(tomatoes-onions) on the side or fruit of your picking...the eggs and the hash browns are small for the price. Basically everything is overpriced..food isn't necessarily bad, it's just overpriced for what you get, portion and quality. read more

4 out of 5. Excellent Service. Food was cold. My eggs, bacon, & toast were cold. Very kind waitress. Refilled our coffees. Coffee was hot. This place has a lovely, cute, & relaxing atmosphere. Kid friendly. Comfortable Seating: tables and booths. We tipped 20% even though I wish our food was hot. Hopefully next time. read more

It's a small comfortable diner type breakfast/brunch spot. Very affordable and good food. My favorite is the founders hash eggs Benedict. We haven't had a bad meal yet no matter what we order. read more

I tried this location twice and was Somewhat dissapointed each time The first time they were short handed and overwhelmed. My meal sat in A delivery window with a dozen others for a half hour and was luke warm when Served I tried again two months. This time the Service was faster but at 9 am they already out of several common items. It is a Nice location but prices are unreasonable for mediocre food. I still hope they get better. I see a lot of people had a better experience. read more

I'm happy Clayton started a morning/brunch restaurant. Before, my family always had a 30-minute commute.Even though they close at 2pm, we arrived on a Sunday at 1:30 and were immediately welcomed by the host. We didn't have to wait very long for the food, and the waitress was pleasant (I forgot her name). Everything appeared to be in good taste. We most certainly plan to return! read more

Loved the food. Took a while to be seated when we went, but it was a busy Sunday. Will definitely be returning soon.

Went there for the sole purpose of getting mimosas! They still do not have their liquor license and they have been open for more than 6 months. They still have mimosas on all of their menus and the web site. We didn't find out until after a 40 minuet wait for a table. It took 40 minutes to get our food and we got our empty drinks (the ice was melted by the time we were even offered refills) with warm tea. The food was ok but nothing spectacular. Next time we will just go to the diner up the street. read more

Was very disappointed. Bacon tasted like it was deep fried in old cooking oil. Over medium eggs we fried. Potatoes were cold.

I am sad to write this review. 2 stars for cleanliness - still feels generous all else considered. I cannot speak about food quality because we walked out after waiting 1/2 hour for a table and were still waiting for our order nearly an hour later AND was told our order would be another 15. And so we left. While I understand that help is hard to find I am disappointed that the owner kept packing people in with no thought to the customers waiting, & kept taking phone orders, again leaving patrons stranded. Solution: tell people what the REAL wait will be so they can decide if they want to stay. Not a pleasant experience - we left hungry and I will have to think twice before returning. :( read more

Super busy!!! There was a wait for a group of seven. Food was good overall everyone seemed satisfied.

My daughter and I came to this location while we waited on her car to be fixed. We were sat right away and then sat at the table for over 15 minutes being ignored by all staff. Several of the staff members walked by us, others glanced our way (including two managers) but no one came over and said hello, can we get you something to drink etc. Then I see a server speak to another server, who ended up being our server and she said "oh alright". It was another 5 minutes before she came over to us. She offered no hello, no I'm so sorry for the wait, nothing. Her first words were "are you all set to order". We ordered food and coffee drinks. A different server brought our drinks over which were very good. We both got the mocha cold brew coffees. From there, it only went downhill. Our server comes back with our food and starts to hand me what she was calling chocolate chip pancakes (I had ordered blueberry) and I told her that wasn't what I ordered so she then tried giving my daughter "plain french toast" which is not what she ordered. I told her she must have the wrong table. She proceeds to bring the food back to the counter. Then a manager shows up and asks us what we ordered. I was dumbfounded, how about you look it up in the computer device that the server used to take our order? But I kept my cool and and told her exactly what we ordered. I ordered The Three Deuces - blueberry pancakes, scrambled eggs and two strips of crispy bacon. My daughter had ordered the cinnamon swirl french toast with two strips of crispy bacon and two sunny side up eggs. The manager said, that's what she brought over to you. So I told the manager that wasn't what she was telling us she was serving. She just said that the server was mistaken and what she brought over was correct. So the server has no idea what she's serving now? They brought the food back over. The bacon was cold and chewy, the scrambled eggs were still runny and lukewarm and the pancakes had egg shells in them. My daughter's bacon was also chewy and cold, she only received one egg and that was cold and not fully cooked and the cinnamon swirl french toast was literally Pepperidge Farm cinnamon swirl bread made into french toast. The server came over at one point and asked how everything was and I told her not good, I was just frustrated with the entire experience at this point and I just wanted to leave. She asked if there was anything she could do and I told her no. Then the manager comes over and asks us how everything was and I told her the same "not good" and that this has been a horrible experience and that I would just like the check please. She said she was sorry to hear that and was there anything she could do to make it better. I told her no and that it was too late for that. She ended up charging us half price which I paid and left zero tip. I'm a former server, my family has worked in a kitchen/restaurant/bar/banquet environment for years so I know how this should've gone down. The only other table this server had was a family of 7 or 8. Her station was completely manageable. I am a patient person and one of those people that pretty much cleans up the entire table so that the server has less to do but grab a stack of plates. I typically over tip even when the service is sub par. This is only the second time in my life that I have left zero tip but I strongly felt that this server did not deserve one. Another observation was seeing another server blatantly eating, standing up at the counter while she watched over her guests. This is taboo in the server world. You either sit in a back room and eat quickly or at least turn your back to guests so they're not watching you eat. On the positive side, the place was clean, the hostess was efficient and friendly and whoever made our coffee drinks did a great job! read more

Very disappointed that they did not have gluten-free toast! They have gluten-free pancakes and gluten-free waffles. The staff says the owner does not want to put it in the store even though he could freeze it and take out the slices as he needs it. Waitress said they had many requests for gluten free bread read more

Brought my family here for breakfast. This was my first time here and my last. Three out of seven orders came out wrong. My eggs came out not even warm but cold. After we finished the server came to our table with a tablet to check you out and guides you through the process including the screen begging for their tip. I don't think they're capable of handling larger parties. I won't return here. read more

The restaurant was cozy and very clean , I had the Caramel Apple pancakes and my friend had the cheesesteak melt both were OFF THE CHAIN , so so sooo good ! Our server was Kayla, she was so polite , prompt , attentive and super sweet! Thank you Kayla. We will definitely be back!!! read more

Today was my first time eating here. I am hooked so far. The service was excellent and very southern friendly. The food was of great quality. Coming from California, it had been a task finding great food s fine service. I give this place a thumbs up. Sorry no photos because I gobbled down my meal. read more

Great food and service! Such a great place for families. They have such a wide variety of food for everyone.

Awesome service, great food. It's a breath of fresh air having this establishment in our area. I highly recommend this place and look forward to coming back. read more

The service was average. Speed of service was good and food came out hot and to order. I got the classic breakfast and it was sub-par. I think they use Old Bay seasoning for the potatoes, so it gave them a shrimp taste, really ruined the meal. The biscuit was not what I would expect in the south and not that good. read more

The food was good. The service upon entering the restaurant left a lot to be desired. We stood at the door for a while, never being greeted, even though waiters and waitresses came from the back. When the hostess finally came up, she needed to check every single table and, walk to the restaurant to determine what was available. It was pretty frustrating but once we were seated, we did not take too long to get our food and the meal was enjoyable. I had the chicken and waffles, which is one of my staples. It was more like chicken tenders and waffles, but it was fine. I would still eat there again, but anticipate a lackluster greeting. read more
