Two scrambled eggs with a side of berries and cinnamon toast
Jessica H.

Came back on our latest trip to Charlotte and found that the menu had been updated and everything we wished from our 2018 visit had come true! My husband was able to get iced cold brew coffee. I got oatmeal and yogurt and a side of turkey sausage- all my favorites to start my day. The service was great! Very friendly and prompt. We sat upstairs to the ambiance was sunny and welcoming. Would definitely come back!

Famous Toastery Bowl
Manuel G.

Good food, just potatoes lacked flavor and there wasn't much ambiance inside, lacking some decor. The water tasted weird, like old. The staff was really nice though!

Toast Famous Toastery Bowl

This was recommended to me by the hotel staff and OMG I'm so glad I listened. I got there around 930, was sat right away. I ordered the Toastery Bowl with 1 pumpkin pancake. DELICIOUS!!!! I forgot to take a picture until after I was done, it was outstanding and I had enough food for breakfast the next day. Katelyn was my server and she was quick and attentive! When I'm in town, I'll be back!!!

Service was very slow staff had no sense of urgency Food was brought out all different times and cold, the hottest thing was the syrup Cups had lipstick on them The google location is wrong The phone number is disconnected

They said I could have breakfast and lunch at the same time so I did!

This is a small place where you can order breakfast or lunch at any time. I ordered breakfast potatoes and mac and cheese simply because it was around 10am and I had the option. The breakfast potatoes were absolutely delicious. Mac and cheese was decent. There were 2 servers, both shared all of the tables. Both were friendly. Food is cooked in a downstairs kitchen and brought upstairs. I would definitely recommend getting the breakfast potatoes no matter what you order.

Stuffed French Toast side and Classic Benedict
Brittney S.

Stopped by for brunch and tried the Cali Benedict with a side of stuffed French toast. The French toast was pretty decent--definitely a good mix of flavors, a little sweet, a little rich, and overall a nice treat on the side. The Classic Benedict was a solid savory option--flavorful and satisfying without being too heavy. The potatoes were a nice bonus, with a light crisp that added great texture. I also had the fresh-squeezed orange juice, which was a really nice touch--bright, refreshing, and paired well with the meal. Overall, a good spot for a balanced brunch with both sweet and savory options that hit the spot.

Omelette and home fries
Dale M.

The food and atmosphere was great it's just they only had one bathroom for the whole spot so people were crowding next to people trying to eat while waiting for the bathroom.

Breakfast and drinks
Joe L.

Came here on a Monday morning for breakfast. 5 of us. We waited 15 minutes to get a seat. When we finally got our seats, we already knew our orders from waiting so long. Drink orders went in and asked if we could put our food order also. After putting the whole order in, food came out first in about 5 minutes. My omelette was tasty and good, but my breakfast potatoes were really cold and under cooked. Drinks never came until we were finished with food! Then complained and still took a while. We will not be back. Plenty of other places. The manager did comp our whole meal. That was amazing and very appreciated

Huevos Rancheros w/ chorizo ($16) + coffee ($4).
David L.

Found this convenient location in the center of uptown Charlotte, where there seem to be few breakfast options. The upstairs is a cute little spot, but don't get too attached to it, as they seat most customers down in the basement where the main dining area and kitchen is located. Service is fast, polite and attentive, and the menu offered plenty of breakfast/brunch options. I opted for the huevos rancheros w/ chorizo. Overall, I enjoyed this dish, but $16 for primarily black beans and two eggs seemed a little pricey. Especially because it could have used some toast to dip in the sauce, and coffee is another $4. For $20, I felt like I could have had breakfast in a nice hotel atmosphere rather than the windowless basement of Famous Toastery. However, the service is prompt, location close to many offices, and the food was good, so I returned a few days later and got the Classic Benedict w/ grits ($13) This was less successful. The Benedict was pretty basic and the grits were watery...not creamy, not cheesy, not flavorful. Even w/ the added cheddar ($1), the grits were runny. At least they offered me a refill of my coffee in a to-go cup this time, which was much appreciated. If you're in the area and looking for a quick sit-down breakfast to fill you up, Famous Toastery is a decent option for basic breakfast fare priced for the convenience of the uptown location.

Breakfast

We almost missed this place because it looked like a simple cafeteria setup, but I'm so glad we stopped in. The food was absolutely wonderful--true Southern comfort done right--and the service from Angela was spectacular. I had the chicken sandwich, and my friend ordered the meatloaf; both were fantastic. The Brussels sprouts were so good we ordered an extra serving. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area!

Is there free parking?

Hello Nat, We don’t validate parking but on weekends there should be free parking on the street.

Does this location validate parking?

I found it difficult to find parking because it's literally in the central part of uptown

I know I made it look very pretty in my photos, but don't be fooled. Here is the complete review. We found the green tomatoes bland and appeared to have been frozen before being prepared. The "Gravy Train" with the mini biscuit was inedible. The gravy itself was OK. Nothing special, not one of the three were "great." But the mini biscuits were terrible, hard, dense chunks of dough. I ate one of them and discarded the rest. The "Chicken Ditch the Waffle" was equally terrible. Whatever they did to turn the biscuit into "fake" French toast is a 100% fail. They were as dense and unappealing as the mini biscuits. The chicken itself was fine. If I was only rating the chicken I'd probably give it a 3.5. The best dish was actually the "GOAT." It was served with a Standard biscuit which we thought was still too dense and dry. I recommend finding an independent restaurant that serves real, "from scratch" food. I should point out that the service crew in the dining room who delivered the food as well as provided cleanup and assistance, were exceptional. They were friendly, courteous, and focused on customer service. I'm sure they deserve more than they are being paid. It was obvious many of them were spanish-speaking immigrants. Not everyone in the restaurant treated them with the respect and gratitude they deserve. Here's the detail of our order from their menu. GRAVY TRAIN mini biscuits with samples of our gravies: sausage, mushroom, and smoked gouda mornay 9.25 FRIED GREEN TOMATOES O hand-breaded and served with ranch or pimento cheese (+1) 8.5 CHICK 'N DITCH THE WAFFLE we've ditched the waffle and replaced it with our biscuit-style french toast with a buttermilk fried chicken breast and Mike's Hot Honey 13.25 THE G.O.A.T. buttermilk fried chicken breast, sweet pepper jelly, goat cheese 12.25 DARK & SPICY BLOODY MARY poblano-tomato mix, vodka, garnish 11.25 (Overpriced and underwhelming)

After many visits over the years, Ruby Sunshine has officially taken the top spot as my husband's…read moreand my favorite breakfast place in Charlotte. Their menu is vast and varied. They even have a "Dietary Preference" menu (look for it online), with keto, gluten-free, and vegetarian options. Some servers aren't aware of this menu, but they will see it in their Toast device if they look for it. We have landed on a couple of favorite dishes that are repeats for us. I like the Spanish Omelet keto-style. Instead of a biscuit and grits, you get a half of an avocado (sliced) and a roasted tomato. The omelet is always full of flavor, and I love it. My husband's favorite is their White Chocolate Bread Pudding Pancakes, with bacon ($2 extra). Don't let the name deter you--these pancakes aren't too thick. They are slightly chewy, and the white chocolate whiskey sauce is amazing. He rarely uses the syrup! Ruby's coffee is always good and strong, and their service is great, no matter who you get. I'm already thinking of when we will return next!

The service is always fast and friendly, and of course, the food is good! I started with the fried green tomatoes, and they were easily the highlight of the meal. They were fried so well and topped with bacon, tomato, lettuce, and a tasty remoulade. I'm still thinking about them honestly! For my entrée, I ordered the 3 Little Pigs Omelet. Unfortunately, it was a bit underwhelming. It was smaller than I expected and didn't really resemble an omelet. It was a little messy and slightly runny for my taste. On the side, I added a single pancake and a bowl of grits, both of which were delicious though. I had a good experience and will definitely be back. I just wish the omelet had been prepared a little better.
