Best breakfast I ever had , fast and good service visited my daughter that's in the military and we decided to go out for breakfast. It was great ! read more

Great place to go for something a little different. The food was great and service was excellent. They are only open during breakfast/brunch hours. Usually there is a wait to be seated. Sometimes the wait can be more than an hour. It's a very popular restaurant. If you haven't been here, check it out. You can even get mimosas by the pitcher. read more

More of a 4.5 than a 4. I went here on my last day in Columbia. Wasn't sure what I was expecting, but they exceeded all expectations. Everything was great from the service to the food. And everything was under $30. Highly recommend read more

Solid breakfast/brunch spot. Quick service, friendly staff, affordable prices. Good vibes. Location is in a slightly weird place, and the food is good, although not quite excellent. Worthy of 4/5 stars and would perhaps return if I'm ever in Columbia again. read more

Friendly service but food is meh. We came in at about 9:30 on a Sunday. Still plenty of tables. Our waitress was great. Food came out fast. Slices, strips and spuds with extra crispy homefries - Alex was disappointed with this one. The French toast was with cinnamon bread; he was expecting Texas toast or plain white bread. At least his homefries came out extra crispy. Gluten-friendly pancakes with blueberries, no powdered sugar, bacon - The gf pancakes were sour, almost like it was made from sourdough bread mix. Very strange for a sweet breakfast item. Good thing I got blueberries otherwise I would have not eaten any. Side of jalapeño homefries - My homefries were regular, not really crispy. They tasted like they had some kind of spice mix on them. Lots of jalapeños though. Next time: we'll check out other menu items or places in town. read more

Was traveling through on business. This was my first time eating here. I was alone and was asked by a very nice hostess if I would like to sit at the bar. I agreed and was greeted by my server, Stephanie. I asked what she recommended, and both she and the hostess helped me decide on my order. The hostess said she had the corned beef hash almost every day. I had never had corned beef hash, but I have to say it is now one of my favorite dishes. All the food I ordered was delicious, but the hash and cinnamon swirl french toast get top billing. Also a shoutout to Dave the manager who was very personable, hands-on and obviously very good at his job. read more

This is great breakfast place. I took my little guy to eggs up Grill on Devine Street for lunch. He chose a pancake, eggs and a sausage link. He was absolutely thrilled when his pancake showed up in the shape of Mickey Mouse. The food was delicious. The pancakes are the absolute best! read more

Britney was the sweetest. She had a smile on her face the entire time we were there. We had finished our meal, but when I said I was treating my friend for her birthday she then brought out a complimentary muffin. Our entire meal was delicious but this was an extra treat, I had already paid and tipped when she brought it out so it really felt special. Thank you Britney! I'll be back to see you. read more

Server was awesome! She gave great recommendations and the food was hot and delicious on delivery ...: the mimosas were a plus !

The food was great. I like the atmosphere. It is rare to see a new in up to date type of restaurant around here. The food came quick and was cooked well. I got the shrimp and grits and was not disappointed. The meal also came with garlic bread so that was a plus. This was my first time eating there. I will be back. read more

I really love Eggs Up Grill! I don't like the parking here. I drove around for an extra 10 minutes just for parking until my friend called me and told me the employee said there was parking in the back. Lo and behold, there's a few spaces back there. That's nice to know. If you're from out of town, there are parking spaces in the back! Lol. The breakfast was really good. I always enjoy the food here. The service was great as well. We got a wobbly table but our server took care of it ASAP. She was on point! I love this go-to spot and this location lived up to the expectations. I would visit this location again! read more

Patty O'Sullivan omelet is eggcellent! Super good!!! Could not recommend this enough. Kids loved the waffles. The lone drawback to this place are 2-one stall bathrooms. This place stays busy so you wait in line to go. But the food is great! read more

Jersee was the best! She helped us navigate our food allergies patiently and cheerfully. Food was good too.

I am a huge fan of corned beef hash, so any time I can get some fresh kind I will take it. Not only do they have it but they turned it into my favorite breakfast dish: eggs Benedict! The eggs were a tad overpoached but the food was really good! We also got a side of the sausage and gravy which was really filling and the biscuits were fluffy. The place was completely cram-packed and honestly the servers looked stressed out, I feel for them. But they did a good job with that stress and made it enjoyable! read more

They have everything you need. I had the shrimp and grits without the egg and added avocado. So good and a huge portion. It was flavorful with a little spicy, warm and creamy and a colorful presentation. It was served with toast and I ate every last bite! The dishwasher probably thought I licked the bowl clean!! Great iced tea, sweet or unsweetened. The service was fast and Mary Lynn, our server, was efficient and on point. Thank goodness these places survived the pandemic because it's like a secret hideout to get some food that tastes like Grandma's kitchen. read more

Eggs Up Grill - Shrimp and grits without the egg but added avocado - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

Always a great breakfast spot!!! Love to go when visiting my son at USC!. Good food and good service.

This kind of a comprehensive review for Eggs Up Grill because I have eaten at so many of their locations. The Columbia location was big and had a lot of parking. We got there on a Saturday morning, table of seven with no wait at 9:15. Our server was great and took good care of us. Their Benedict dishes are very good. We like the traditional and the hash version. I usually get the Mason Dixon which is two eggs, sausage biscuit with gravy, and home fries. Their grits are also good and creamy. We had someone get the Avocado toast which they really liked. By the time we left at 10:00 there was a wait. You can call ahead on busy mornings to get on the list,but they do not take reservations. There lunch menu is good also with a lot of sandwich, soup, and salad choices. read more

Eggs Up food is excellent. The service is even better. We have rarely had to wait for a table. On a Sunday morning, it might be very busy; then we'd call ahead and save ourselves a spot In line. I have a favorite, the pumpkin pancakes with walnuts. Not exactly the highest protein load, eh? They make all the normal breakfast dishes well of course, but they make a grilled blueberry muffin that tolerates applying a lot of butter. I would definitely recommend my Eggs Up Grill on Devine St in Columbia. read more

Love this restaurant and this location! The staff is very friendly and efficient. My server filled up my water constantly which was wonderful. The food is so incredible. They have a very big menu with many sweet and savory options. There can be a little bit of a wait at the peak breakfast hours however they are usually pretty good about seating parties quickly. read more

I was glad that this place sat a table of six around 10:30 on a Sunday morning almost immediately as soon as we walked in. I know sometimes there is a wait on weekend days so we got lucky! I tried the Little Waffle in the Hen House with a half waffle and substituted the sweet potato pecan waffle instead of the original one and it was fantastic. In fact, I want to drive to Columbia for a full one right now and I don't even normally care for waffles. I would have a hard time deciding what to order between that and the Benedict because they were both delicious. Unfortunately, my husband thought the Patty-O-Sullivan and didn't care for it. He is not as inclined to come back here because of the other great breakfast options in town, but I will be back for that waffle. read more

Eggs Up Grill - crab cake Benedict - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

I was not that thrilled with the food. I ordered build your own omelet with onions, bell peppers, and spinach. The cook forgot to include the spinach. It was loaded with uncooked onions and bell peppers. That made the omelet very unpleasant to eat. I let the server know that the spinach was missing. She did offer to get me some sautéed spinach to add it myself. I am not sure what happened to customer service, but this was not it! I told her to take it off my bill and she did. My husband order was correct and he enjoyed it. I don't think I will be going back for breakfast. I will stick to Waffle House. read more

You can't go wrong at this fast and friendly diner spot. Everything is fresh, made to order and they even keep a cute 'lil egg counter for how many they have cracked. Adorable. The cook staff are all on point: if you ask for eggs poached medium, it's what you get. If you say no onions, it's what you get. They all seem to have a genuinely good time cooking together and they certainly bring me and everyone else some smiles. There are also super fun regulars (who doesn't love a regular lol) and then some not so fun regulars (why are you leaving a $2 tip?). The owner (or least I think it's the owner) seems nice and friendly enough, but he doesn't seem to have a thing for faces or for regulars which is :-( however, you have David (never forgets a face) who is wonderful and warm, with a charming and lovely sense of humor and demeanor. He is as earnest as they make 'em. And Barton who is ready with a zinger for me and has on multiple occasions purchased my breakfast for me as I seem to be there almost daily. And that is not to leave out the extremely hardworking wait staff: Stephanie, Kenyatta, Melissa and Rachel to name four standouts. I also have a soft spot for Olivia who is the weekend hostess and UofSC student. I'm picky and weird and they make me feel right at home. I truly love this place, all of the staff and I'll continue to show up until they ask me not to. HEADS UP - they now have Rose (yum) and mimosas as well as a CRAB CAKE BENE. HELLO FOR THE CRAB BENE. Five stars each and every time. read more

One of the best brunch experiences ever customer service was an A+. We were told our wait would be 15 minutes which only ended up being 5 minutes and we were quickly seated. Our waitress LB had the best personality ever! She was extremely friendly and patient as I indecisively chose my meal. I got the steak and eggs which were phenomenal! Quick service, friendly staff and awesome food! read more

Eggs Up Grill - Steak and Eggs - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

We went here while visiting Columbia for a overnight trip and enjoyed a filling breakfast. My husband got black coffee while I tried the cuppa cocoa which was a mix of the hot cocoa and coffee and it was delicious, bonus it was served in a giant coffee mug which is my favorite. I got the hash Benedict which I enjoyed a lot since it combined two of my favorite breakfast meals my only complaint was the hollandaise sauce on top was a little thick/congealed. My husband got a cup of black coffee and the philly cheese steak omelet which I stole a bite of. He loved it and the biscuit that came on the side. Apparently there's one in Charlotte now too so we'll have to go check it out! read more

Came here after a late night with my daughter....meeting her friends, moving her into her new apt. Needed a good breakfast place and this was rated highly. Big space....love it. Most of the breakfast places back in San Diego are so squished & small, we can all share our breakfasts...and conversation! Service: 5/5 Latawney was so bright & friendly at 10AM...I guess compared to many other dining establishments here in Columbia, the southern hospitality was NOT showing through until we came here to eat. Latawney was nice, smiley, helpful. Food: 5/5 although it is a breakfast place, they had a large menu, & everything was homemade. I got their corned beef hash...delicious! The rest is regular: eggs, bacon, pancakes..but still all good! The only thing that was a bit of a letdown was their biscuits and gravy. Their gravy was so thin and flavorless. We were hoping for that thick, white sausage gravy with tons of flavor,pepper, so thick you could cut it with a knife. San Diego breakfast places outdoes them on this dish. West Coast the best coast! Totally recommend this place, hungover or not. Food was on point, and all the servers were nice...except the dude w/the black glasses at the front taking names and ringing people up. He was kind of an unfriendly douche...but other than that...Great place!!!! read more

Eggs Up Grill - Big breakfast area - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

If you like breakfast then you must try Egg Up Grill!! These ppl really know how to do breakfast. My family and I tried the Columbia SC location. I normally don't like franchise but Eggs Up Grill knows how to do a franchise. I recommend you try the sweet potato pecan waffle, the loaded home fries platter and add cheese to the grits. My nephew loved his kids meal and we had to order him an extra egg and cheese omelet and my mother ordered an extra waffle to go!!! The staff was very warm and inviting. Several staff members stopped by our table to check on us. I truly wished I lived closer to an Egg Up Grill! I could define see it being a regular breakfast spot for me. read more

Our go-to brunch place after Sunday service. Taylor is our favorite server. She is very observant and fill the coffee without asking.

This was my very first time eating at Eggs Up Grill. I have to say the experience was divine from start to finish. When my daughter and I arrived, we were greeted at the door. A staff member opened the door for us wearing a mask. We were immediately seated. The waitress "Nata" was her name was so delightful and so funny from beginning to end. She kept up laughing the entire time. Not to mention she was very helpful with the menu. My daughter just wanted a breakfast sandwich and I wanted an omelet. She ordered a sausage, egg, and cheese sandwich with a cup of hot chocolate. I ordered the shrimp and grits omelet with a cup of coffee. My daughter and I both thoroughly enjoyed our meal. The place has a great atmosphere and very polite staff. I will most definitely be returning and I highly recommend you try this wonderful breakfast spot. Go check it out. It's a five-star rating from me. read more

Terrible. we were advised by a fellow soldier before us that he waited 15 minutes without being acknowledged and walked out. my party of 3 hoped we'd have better luck. Nope, waited for 10 minutes at the stand without being acknowledged even though all of the servers looked at us. Approached someone and they said "I'm cleaning a table, I'm busy". clearly they don't respect service members read more

Visiting Columbia to visit an old friend who was passing through. No breakfast at the hotel, so we ventured out and found the Eggs Up. Our server, Jennifer, was a big help. She talked us through the menu and helped narrow things down. I wasn't looking for a big meal and just ordered sausage links with grits and eggs. Eggs were perfect and everything was delicious. My friend went on a shopping spree and ordered a little of everything. He managed to eat almost all of it and commented on how good it all was. Coffee stayed full and hot. I currently live in a fairly breakfast-deficient land, and welcome a great place for the morning meal. This place is the real deal! We checked in fairly early, and the place was getting pretty full as we were leaving. Looks like they do a good business, and from what I saw on this visit, they deserve it! Thanks for a great meal! read more

We ate at the counter and the food was delicious! we had the hash Benedict, banana foster french toast, and home fries. All was super good. I love eggs benedict but have never had hash before, so I went for it. Pretty good! Hollandaise tasted perfect and the eggs were poached just right! The french toast was one of the best I have ever had! Perfectly sweet and crunchy! Food came out fast and server was attentive. To be honest, the hostess almost turned us off to staying. She said it would be about 15 minutes in a deterrant way. When we noticed there was space at the bar, we asked if we could sit there. She then asked the people before us if they wanted the counter and they said they didn't care. Then she looked at us and told us it is first come first serve so they can have it. The counter was never offered and because we pointed it out, she gave it to someone else. Nothing I have ever experienced and was not actually thrilled about. Even with this little blip, the service was good and the food was fantastic so I would definitely go back if I am ever in the area. read more
