First time here. No wait on a Saturday morning in June! Very clean, good variety on the menu. You can get breakfast or lunch items. I chose the blueberry pancakes and was not disappointed. Prices were reasonable. My plate of 2 pancakes, two eggs, and two slices of bacon was $7.95.I think i'm comimg back tomorrow... read more

Eggs Up Grill - Can I eat it all??? Im sure going to try! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

The food was great, hot n fast. Racheal kept coming back to make sure we had what was needed. Wish lived closer n could come more

Friendly staff; food was delicious and very inexpensive; got on the wait list they are busy on the weekends; but very much worth the wait

The employees are beyond friendly, the service was very fast, and the food was delish! We yelp'ed a breakfast spot for our last morning visiting Columbia, and Eggs Up Grill was our choice. I had the Corn Beef Hash Benedict w/crispy home fries. Definitely a winner & a place we'll visit again! read more

I really enjoyed my brunch at Eggs Up Grill! It was a nice atmosphere and the breakfast was delicious! I had the Mason Dixon and the home fries and biscuit were marvelous. Also, the Cuppa Cocoa is great! read more

Home fries were horrible. Biscuit was flat. Literally flat. I could not separate the bottom from the top. Eggs were served warm. I could have done better at a Waffle House. read more

This place was super busy when we came in on a Saturday morning. The host was very prompt with us as far as wait time goes and even offered that we sit at the bar if we wished. Since we were really hungry, we sat at the bar. I enjoyed sitting at the bar because I could see the kitchen crew working their asses off putting orders up. I definitely appreciate how hard they were working! I got eggs Benedict. The poached eggs were PERFECT. The hollandaise sauce, however, was sub par. Unfortunately, I scraped most of the sauce off just to eat the eggs and the English muffin. I love ordering eggs Bennie at restaurants because I suck at cooking my own hollandaise sauce, but I definitely could have matched the quality of this sauce. Anyyyyyyyywho, I wanted hash browns and they brought me country potatoes. Like boy bye! If you didn't have hashbrowns I would have preferred toast. read more

Not sure why the high ratings. Poor presentation of food. Taste not great. We ordered. Waffle, eggs, home fries, side bacon and French toast. I could have made this meal better for $3. Cost $23 2 stars for quick seating , great waiter and fast service. read more

Eggs up grill has a nice breakfast menu and plenty of parking. I really enjoyed their egg white omelette with fruit. The service is friendly and fast. I didn't have any pancakes but they looked very good. read more

First time there since I was from out of town. Very friendly staff. The hash browns had an herb (rosemary?) that I didn't care for, but others may. However the eggs Benedict were really good. Going back tomorrow to try the pancakes with peaches, cream cheese and bacon. Wasn't very crowded when I got there at 8am on a Saturday but was getting full by 8:30. Regular customer beside me said if you don't get there early you can have a 20min plus wait read more

The food is good , the staff is friendly and efficient, the coffee is terrible. Having bad coffee in a place that is primarily a breakfast place is a huge disappointment. read more

This place exceeded expectations. I had heard the food was good but as far as the Eggs Benedict Florentine goes, it was awesome. The food was fresh and it was such a nice change of pace to have breakfast that wasn't swimming in butter or grease. I also would recommend their cocoa which is mixed with coffee and served with whipped cream on top - so good! On top of the great tasting, fresh and fast food, every single person on the staff had a smile on their face and seemed happy to be there, which is really impressive to me since I'm not usually a morning person. For sure the best breakfast spots I've found in a while! read more

Eggs Up Grill - Tomato florentine eggs Benedict. Sooooo good - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

We visited from out of town on a Saturday morning after going to Columbia for a concert. I ordered a combo that came with two eggs, a meat, and half of a waffle. My husband got Eggs Benedict and hash browns. Most of my breakfast was good and the waffle was really great. My husband's eggs were ok - the sauce was weak somehow, but the hash browns were enjoyable. We'd both ordered coffee to come out with the food but that didn't show up. Half way through the meal our waiter hadn't checked on us so I got up and went outside where there was a table with coffee and styrofoam cups and helped myself to two cups. A waiter came up and asked me what I was doing and I told him and he just looked at me kind of blankly. It was never addressed by our waiter. He came around as we were nearly done with two mugs of coffee and no comment. He seemed kind of irritated in general and several times when he walked into the dining area from the back, he was putting food into his mouth which is pretty gross. The food with a cranky-but-helpful or even a clueless-but-nice waiter would have gotten three stars. A solid waiter along with the waffle would have gotten 4. UPDATE: I received a message criticizing my character in response to this review which tells me quite a bit about this "Christian based" establishment. read more

Great breakfast! Sometimes have a very long wait but a good system to manage the crowd. Only wish they had a liquor license as I do miss having a mimosa with my French toast. Very fair prices and friendly staff. read more

I love this place! Sure wish it stayed open all day. The service is really fast and friendly. The food is absolutely amazing. I'm now addicted to the Sausage Gravy Biscuit. It's sooooo good! Also I love the Spuds and the Grits. My husband is addicted to the Eggs Benedict. It stays pretty crowded, but with the service so quick, it doesn't take long to get a table. I'll be back as often as I can. I can't go for too long without one of their Gravy Biscuits. read more

So, to be fair, I didn't eat breakfast food here. Obviously that is the specialty of the place and from other reviews it sounds like they do a nice job. However, they have lunch items on their menu and I was there for lunch so that is what I ordered. Big mistake. I had a soup and half sandwich. The half club sandwich had nothing in common with any club I've ever eaten before. It was untoasted bread with a slice of turkey, half a slice of bacon, and a little lettuce and mayo. I toss together better sandwiches while half asleep in the mornings. It was soggy and sad. The soup was very tasty but I highly suspect it wasn't made on site. Probably comes in frozen from a restaurant supply. Service was lovely and attentive so they get to keep that second star. I'll try it again for breakfast and hopefully have better things to report but I'd suggest that you steer clear of the underwhelming lunch menu. read more

Wow, this place is nice. Went here the other day while in town and we were glad we picked Eggs Up. Had a traditional eggs, home fries and bacon and everything was great. Service was great and everyone very professional. read more

This is a breakfast place and it doesn't disappoint. I have only had one thing I didn't like here (cornbeef hash btw) but everything else is great! There are several options that are huge portions like their homefry bowls. They have a good Eggs Benedict, but it is standard. My biggest complaint is that some of their food is over priced, which is why they get 4 rather than 5 stars. read more

What a great meal! My daughter and I ordered several things so we could each try them: sweet potato pecan waffles, grits, a custom omelette, toast, potatoes, and coffee. Everything was delicious, and the service was outstanding! Our server Laura made us feel as if we were the only customers there even through the place was packed. I recommend getting on the Yelp waiting list ahead of time. read more

I'm not sure why people like this place so much. The food is ok, the prices are high and the ambiance of the place isn't anything to write home about. I mean it's a breakfast place that's not Denny's but eh, not my fav, I would rather go to waffle House. read more

We arrived on a busy Sunday afternoon and they had a wait. The one thing I loved was how high tech they were. They used our phone number and text messaged us when the order was ready. There was even an app we could use to see our place in line. They even took orders on a phone. It was really efficient. I wish more restaurants were this mobile friendly. We had John as our server and he took good care of us. This was our first time and the menu was pretty overwhelming, so he did a good job at recommending dishes. I went with a corn beef hash omelette since he raved about how their hash is fresh. To be honest, I'm not a fan of hash, but I'm always up for adventure and believe in trying whatever the restaurant is best at. Even though it's not my thing, it was pretty good and I'm glad I ordered. A lot of breakfast places in the same price range serve misshapen, gargantuan omelets that fall apart when you take a bite. Ours was almost a perfect square and easy to eat served with breakfast potatoes that were cooked just right. They were busy and the food was a little bit slow, but that's to be expected for the time of day. There was one time when I thought I might have to ask John for a drink refill, and before I knew it, he had one for me. It may not be the best option for gourmet brunch, but we had a good experience and will come back. read more

Only open until 2pm, and usually the line is around the door on the weekends and we hate lines so have not been able to try it. A nearby appointment kindly gave us an opportunity. The service is great, the food was very good. The place is bright and cheery and open. My kid was a huge fan of the pancakes and they looked enormous. I had the steak and eggs and was really pleased. I'd asked for rare, and the cook apparently didn't feel it was done correctly and sent out a new one. Who does that kind of awesome, I tell you?! read more

Love this place! I've now been there three times and it was great, The biscuits are a little weird but tasty.

Skillet is on point, great service. Check in on yelp to minimize wait time. Overall, great experience.

My daughter and I shared a delicious bowl of hash browns smothered in sautéed onions, fresh green peppers, bacon, cheese, and a scrambled egg. Delicious! And our waitress was so pleasant and patient and provided excellent service. read more

It's not bad! I wouldn't call it my first choice but we've never had a particularly bad experience. The prices are good & the staff is nice. It's your standard breakfast place. It's like what Denny's would be if Denny's ever actually did their job right. read more

The worst service ever. We've been coming to this place for years every Sunday and recently have been obviously been treated differently based on color. It's been so bad that there has been 2 instances that other guests have even shamed their heads in disgust and one couple left after seeing how we were treated. read more

I went with some friends for the first time. I got the chocolate chip pancakes with chocolate chips on the inside and outside. They were really good and a great size for the money. Very soft and fluffy. The waiter was a little slack compared to where the standards should be. But the food was good and we didn't have to wait to get seated even at 12:45 pm. I would recommend and would go again for the breakfast food. I haven't tried any lunch menu items but I bet they are just as good! read more

Shelter in the storm. Open for business during the big floods. We had disposable plates and utensils because no potable water in the area. Food was great and community spirit awesome. Love this place! read more

I'm moving to Lexington and I was in town with the wife to find a place to live. Found this place on Yelp while looking for a local hot spot for breakfast. A very pleasant hostess meets you out front where she takes your name and phone number and invites you to help yourself to a cup of coffee outside while you wait. We didn't wait long, it was Sunday before church let out. I received a text on my phone letting me know my table was ready and was met inside by a very nice guy who greeted me by name and shook my hand. My server was attentive and very pleasant. The food was excellent, my wife had the Benedict and I went for the homemade Hash with eggs. The Hash was very good, not like the canned crap some people push off as the real deal. The Benedict was very good, although a bit under seasoned. Overall a very good experience. If this is any sign of what the local eats are like in the Columbia area, then I can't wait to get settled in. This will no doubt be a regular breakfast spot for us. read more

Visited 11/25/17: we have visited this amazing breakfast establishment many times and took out friends/family there too, each time a memorable experience. Complimentary coffee on weekends if you end up waiting for a table- yup, FREE coffee! Since we have been to Eggs Up Grill many times, I know what I want and order just about the same things off the menu about every visit. I get the steak and eggs, breakfast of champions! Steak is not tough, comes with 2 eggs (I get mine over easy, no slime), a tomato for garnish, home fries (I get mine extra crispy) and an orange slice to clear my pallet lol. I also get a side of sweet potato pancakes with yum yum syrup- they make a sweet potato waffles version but pancakes are hands down better! Everything gets devoured coz its so good and I leave no evidence. My wife had a cheese burger with home fries, don't know why but she wants, she gets, everyone's happy :) She said it was satisfying- must be a craving lol. We both had poor mans mocha (part hot cocoa and coffee) it was good, I make it at home so nothing special. Service was excellent as always and my wife got a FREE meal for her birthday!! read more

I LOVE Eggs up grill because they have the option of a gluten free pancake and waffle. BUT...this experience today really was not good. I stated at the beginning of my order that I needed gluten free pancakes and the waitress asked if I wanted any powdered sugar and I declined. She confirmed that she understood then I went on with placing my order. All of my friends' food came along with mine and I just wasn't sure about those pancakes. My gut said don't except them. I asked if they were gluten free and the waitress that brought the food out (a different waitress) said she wasn't sure... wait!... this is something you need to be sure about. So I sent them back. It took a long time to get the food back. A guy came out and said that they cooked the first batch of pancakes and someone bumped into the plate and knocked them to the floor so they were waiting for more to be cooked. By this point my friends were pretty much done with eating. I was told by the waitress that I would be able to get the order take off and not worry about a charge. When they brought the check there was only a discount of $2 and some change and it said (family discount). Disappointing since I almost ate pancakes that would have made me very sick and it took forever to get any food back out due to issues in the kitchen. I wont give up on eggs up grill yet but I may not visit this one again. +the coffee was extremely weak and tasted like water, yet it was $2 and some change for it. Just disappointing. read more

This is definitely a must for breakfast!! The people are great! The environment is excellent and the food is ideal!! Nothing bad to say at all read more

Busy as can be. Our waitress was super nice, funny, and sweet. Eggs are the show of the plate. I got steak and eggs. Steak was a a little undercooked, but not enough to send back. Wife got corn beef hash and eggs. It says house made, but it was like most diner corn beef. My Mother-in -law got the omelet with corn beef hash in it. Coffee was good. This place is good. I'd go again. It is on the other side of town than where I live, so I probably will not be a regular. read more

Eggs up grill may not be open all day but this place is amazing. At least the one off of Clemson is. The staff is friendly. The food was amazing. Every time I go I try to get something different. But if you want a great breakfast or brunch this is the place to go. read more

Oh don't even get me started on raving on this place! For starters... they take online waitlist check ins! My friends and I usually come on Sundays during the busy times, but we check in at home and once we get there we usually wait 5 minutes and they get us in ASAP. They have healthy choices and the food will have you screaming "OH. MY. GOSH." The only down fall was, our server was absolutely sweet and she was great, but it took her forever to come around and get our orders/check up on us. But I get that it was busy. But usually the servers we get are fast. But on the bright side, the food is worth it. read more

Service from the moment we walked in the door to when we left was impeccable. Service and food was excellent. Staff is really attentive and food really good. Kudos to the entire staff read more

Toddler in tow? Craving brunch? Be sure to try Eggs Up. Service is quick (I went at 11 on a weekday- not sure if this changes during peak hours), facilities are clean, and you get a lot of bang for your buck. The kids meal was the gift that kept on giving: there was enough leftover to take home for toddler snacks and dinner. You can choose three items from a huge list of options in addition to juice in a reusable plastic cup + straw. I was going to tell you how cheap it was but thanks to mom brain, I can't remember the price. I ordered the eggs florentine which is one of the few things with which I'll cheat on my mostly-vegan diet. I opted for the side of potatoes. I love that they used red potatoes- something different from other brunch spots. I'll be back again with the fam so I can sample the pancakes and waffles. read more
