Great ambiance, very friendly waitress. We had to wait 45 minutes to get our food... restaurant needs to hire more staff. The eggs benedict had good flavor overall. However, the pork belly was overcooked and dry. One of the eggs in the eggs benedict was also overcooked and not runny. The sausage biscuit was just ok. The biscuit and sausage were a bit dry... The hashbrowns were a little crispy but mostly soggy. Redeeming point - I tried my friend's pancakes and they were pretty good. read more

Very cool place for breakfast and I can't wait to go back. They have pancake flights with different options you can pick, like: - sweet potato pancakes - upside-down pineapple - pancakes with berries The upside-down pineapple pancake was one of the best things I've ever eaten in the pancake world. A friend of mine ordered the pork belly fried rice for breakfast and he says it was delicious. He just wished the portion was a little bigger. You're going to love the cool vibes in here and the lighting, just a special place to come to. Don't miss it. They even have a full bar. read more

If having plenty of options for drinks is a priority, you get a large bar at your disposal. Habanero Pork Belly fried rice was very tasty. Not very hot though so don't let the "Habanero" scare you. Lots of room and great service. read more

Snooze, an A.M. Eatery is a great spot for breakfast or brunch in Chapel Hill. I love the retro diner decor and the upbeat music--it creates a fun, energetic atmosphere without feeling forced. The food is high-quality, creative, and definitely more interesting than your typical breakfast fare. Service was fast, friendly, and personalized, which made the whole experience even better. Lots to love about Snooze--I'll definitely be back! read more

Love the retro decor! This place is in Eastgate so there is plenty of parking. I was there early so I had quick efficient service and an absolutely delicious strawberry shortcake stack of pancakes. The strawberries & cream were fresh and a huge portion (1 pancake is an option); so I had leftovers for breakfast the next day that heated nicely. Coffee & bacon were perfect. There is a full bar to complete the retro look and some creative drinks on the menu to try for brunch one day in the future. My server "Indiana B" was charming, helpful, & I loved her pearls! Us Southern ladies wear our pearls. read more

Great food. Will visit again. Decent service for a busy day!!!! Great breakfast and lunch options

We stopped into Snooze on a whim, hungry and hopeful -- it had caught our eye back in May. Walking in an hour before the kitchen closed, we flagged that my husband has Celiac disease and has to be careful. The hostess was warm and reassuring: Snooze takes gluten-free seriously, she said, and she'd seat us in the section with one of their best servers. That pitch is the only reason we stayed. What followed didn't match it. We were seated in a back area -- the same spot where off-shift staff were eating their last meals before closing. After a 10-minute wait, our server took our order (a protein bowl and a bunless burger). Then 23 minutes for the food, while the room visibly wound down: kitchen staff heading home, servers wandering past who clearly felt we weren't their table. When the food finally came and we asked if the kitchen was always that slow, there was no apology -- just that she'd only rung it in 20 minutes ago. The food was cold on the bottom, warm on top: the tell of a plate that sat under the heat lamp while nobody brought it over. No one checked back. Our glasses sat empty. Staff propped the back door open to close out, letting flies in -- which landed on our food. And the finale: our server appeared with the handheld Toast reader, holding the bill up for us to tap rather than setting it down -- the universal signal to pay and leave. For a restaurant that markets itself as allergy-conscious, rushing a Celiac diner's plate under a lamp and never returning isn't just poor service -- it's a safety concern. The concept has promise. The execution, at least at close, does not. read more

Ok it may have been relatively busy but we got out on a waitlist and proceeded to see multiple parties get seated before us - I went up after waiting the allotted time and based on the girls reaction we should have been seated faster. So she walked us to a table... the waitress got our drinks pretty quickly but on the other hand the food we were waiting for a while to get. Again the people who sat AFTER us received their food before ours. Just was annoying honestly. As for ambience after looking around you can tell it's like a chain considered every foot of space has the logo all over it. Overall the food was good but it was really expensive for the quantity and what we got. Two pancakes (no sides) at $14 is nuts and I'm not talking about the pecans sprinkled on top. Probably won't be back because there are so many other better and more affordable spots. Cinnamon pancake was good just really sweet. Recommend the Sandwich I Am - pretzel bun was tasty. read more

I found a new go to place to dine. My food was great actually it was delicious. I had 3 egg jalapeño omelet. My wife had a pancake flight. The food was great. We came on a late Sunday morning. We sat at the bar because it would have been a 20 minute wait for a table. I was starving. Our server was great and I had special instructions on how I wanted my food. Everything came out perfect. I would recommend this restaurant highly!!!!!!!!!! We will be back read more

Had breakfast here today and it was AMAZING! We had a bit of a wait because there were multiple large parties seated nearby, but that's expected on Saturday morning. The waiter was 10/10. He was helpful, funny, and personable. We hardly had to wait for our food which was a plus. The food was incredible, the bathrooms were clean, and the restaurant was well maintained with a cute patio. I can't wait to come back next weekend ! read more

This is an updated review since last time I went was during their opening. Service was very slow. It took a long time to get someone to take our order for food. It seemed like there was not enough floor staff. As for the food, it was so good. The kitchen knows what they are doing. I had the crab cake Bennie and it was delicious and good portion size. I would recommend going during non peak hours to combat the wait issues because the food is delicious. read more

My girl & I had been looking for a good breakfast spot in Chapel Hill where we could get quality Benedicts, and we finally found 1: Snooze, one of the newer locations at Eastgate, a shopping area that gets a lot of foot traffic even on weekday brunch times. Thankfully, we didn't have to wait to be seated at Snooze on a busy Wednesday brunch time. We were taken to a small table that's pretty close to an occupied table with 2 people in a cramped area; Despite Snooze's large and open space with a nice outdoor seating and a bar (probably the largest restaurant in Eastgate), it seems that there is a spacing issue, and it looks like there was only 1 waitress assigned to our section. She said her name is Baj, and I'll talk about her customer service later, but first: the food! I ordered the Barbacoa Chile Verde Benny & my girl ordered the Smashed Avocado Benny & we got a blueberry pancake for us to share. Orders arrived in about 12 min., which is relatively fast considering Snooze's busy brunch time. It was my first time trying a Benny with Barbacoa (shredded beef - Mexican barbecue style), and the meat tasted as what I expected from a Barbacoa dish, and there was a fine amount in my Benny. Instead of English muffin, this one has a layer of tortilla in the bottom. The green chile sauce, melted cheese. green chile hollandaise, pico de gallo & cotija cheese all create a Mexican twist to a typical Benedict, but after trying this, I think I still prefer a typical Benny with ham, English muffin, etc,. There was issue in my order: 1 of the 2 eggs it came with was cooked too long, so it's more like a hard-boiled egg than a poached one, so I told Baj about it, and a manager came to check what the problem was. She asked what wanted, replacing the one wrongly-cooked egg is just fine, and she said they could do that, so I received the 1 replacement egg. I ended up eating that 1 egg by itself because I already devoured the rest of the Benny while waiting. Other than that mistake, the Bennys were generally satisfying with a healthy amount of well-baked hashbrowns on the side. My girl enjoyed her Smashed Avocado Benny, which looked quite healthy, with large slices of tomatoes, just the right amount of avocado & everything else. The $6+ blueberry pancake we shared was fine but they did not serve enough syrup, and the server did not even bother to ask if we need anything else, so we weren't able to ask for more. Snooze's customer service clearly needs improvement. While server Baj seemed friendly at first, she didn't accommodate our needs well - we had to call her to get water refills and ketchup for our hashbrowns, and not even once did she ask if we needed anything else like that pancake syrup! As for our bill, she just silently placed it on our table, making us wonder what she just put, while she took orders from the customers beside us. When we were ready to pay, she just put the payment device in front of us, and she seemed to be more cheerful doing that than actually serving us well. I was thankful that she called the manager about the egg issue, and that the manager was able to resolve it well, but overall, the customer service is just disappointing. It's not easy to find a good Benny in Chapel Hill, so I still think it's a blessing to have Snooze, a nice brunch spot with quality breakfast and a vibrant ambiance. If you prefer alcohol with your brunch, Snooze's bartender can serve that to your table. The outdoor seating is also nice but there were no customers there despite the short line of waiting ones while we were seated there. I wouldn't say that we will never return here, but probably not anytime soon. We are willing to go farther to get a better breakfast/brunch experience with professional customer service. Overall Score: 3.1/5 read more

First time was a while back. This place has an awesome selection of breakfast items along with a decent portion size to leave you full. When we went this place was busy and we only had to wait for a short time. Our service was great we had no complaints. The food itself was delicious. What's nice is if you're in the mood for a drink this place has a good selection to pair up nicely with your meal. We'll be back in the future. read more

Bright, loud, open, and airy. Walking in you're greeted with a wall of sound from their 60s-70s sound track and the buzz of other patrons talking over it. They have a wide variety of foods, mostly centered on breakfasty things. I saw the Benedict menu and didn't look further. I chose the Avocado Benedict, which is and English muffin covered by a slice of tomato (slightly grilled), avocado, a poached egg and hollandaise sauce. Notice anything missing? Yeah, shoulda added bacon, but it was zero-yawn thirty to me (11am on a Tuesday ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ) and I didn't notice. I did notice that there was very little salt used in the food. I'm happy that this will help some folks who have to limit their intake of sodium. I'm also happy there was a salt and pepper grinder on the bar. The coffee was tasty, and the folks behind the bar kept the cup filled while I enjoyed. read more

We arrived and added our party to waitlist. (Didn't know I could do it on their app.) We waited about 10 minutes at the most. Not bad at all. They offer indoor & outdoor seating. They have corn hole to play outside. The outside area has fans, but right now with temps being 95-102 degrees, we chose inside. They have a bar with a TV. Plenty of seating. We ordered different entrees so we could sample each other's food. The OMG French Toast was so delicious. We also had a pancake flight with a strawberry shortcake pancake, pineapple upside down pancake, and a cinnamon roll pancake. Oh my goodness, the pineapple won my vote!!! Perfectly made crispy edges on all of them. We had a yogurt bowl. It was meh. Not my thing, maybe with honey or vanilla yogurt. Won't order again. And we also ordered the Spuds Deluxe (Hash browns). You can add 2 enhancements to the spuds. The Butterfly Lemonade was very refreshing. I can't wait to try their Rejuvenate beverage when I go back. I definitely give them a 10 out of 10. read more

Delicious food and wonderful service. Love the gluten free options. Favorite place for breakfast.

If you're coming in on the weekend I suggest adding your name to the list before leaving home because they are definitely busy. The good thing is that there are lots of businesses in the area you can venture in to. The food was amazing. My friend is vegan and felt like she had lots of great options but they do have some dishes marked as vegan that include eggs which aren't vegan but she was able to ask for it to be made without eggs. The variety and brunch drinks was exciting. We couldn't resist the pancakes so shared the pineapple upside down pancake which was delicious and sweet but not too overwhelming with sweetness. The spuds deluxe was delicious and very filling. All of the portions were perfect for brunch. the restaurant is colorful and bright not too loud and great for the whole family. read more

I love snooze but today was ridiculous. I ordered chocolate milk like I always do. I never got chocolate milk because it had to be made, and then the person making it was talking forever according to the server. Meanwhile there was only 3 tables with me and an entire table of workers sitting around. I'm fairly certain the server always makes me chocolate milk. Literally went for the chocolate milk read more

I'm going to start this review by saying that Emma, our waitress, was the biggest highlight of this place. It was our first time here and she is a gem. She took her time to explain the menu, talked briefly about the restaurant and just overall made our experience that much better. I would definitely come back and ask to seat in her section. The restaurant is super cute, it's bright with booths and table seating. They also have an outside patio that's covered. We were seated right away. The menu has some amazing options and the price is great. They have a weekday $10 menu. I took a picture and will post to this review. Emma explained that you can go in for breakfast all day anytime. They also have a bar! We ordered the half bravocado toast and opted for scrambled eggs with it. It comes with a side salad, which was delish. We also ordered the Denver omelette and a side of grits. The food was fresh, came hot to the table and it was tasty. I got a latte. I was told I have to try their pancakes and will do that next time. Great find, definitely worth checking out if you haven't yet. Will definitely come back. read more

Even on an insanely busy weekend (Mother's Day And graduation) the food was all made perfectly (and accurate!) and came out hot. Highly recommend joining the waitlist virtually on busy days. The wait time actually was on the lower end of the average. Food took a little while to come out but worth it to have such a great meal. read more

Friendly service from everyone! Just a pleasure to interact with such nice people on a Wednesday morning. The ambiance is very cool- retro and 1960s. Most importantly- the menu! So many good looking options! I opted for the sweet potato veggie smash up which was delicious- savory and satisfying and set me up for a great rest of my morning. My dining companion got the two Juan's breakfast tacos, which he raved about. We also got a side of their chicken sausage, which was fantastic. I was also tempted by their amazing looking NA drinks but decided to try some of those next time. We'll definitely be back! read more

Long time fan of Snooze- primarily in Arizona and Colorado. After waiting for the reopening of Snooze in Chapel Hill, we finally returned. Sadly, the service was so lacking. We waited about 15 minutes for water and a waitress. The wait for our food was about the same. The smoked cheddar sauce lacked its typical great flavor. Our hashbrowns were undercooked, despite requesting them extra crispy. New new atmosphere is plastic diner chic. Maybe Snooze Chapel Hill will improve. So disappointing...... read more

My family stopped by snooze for breakfast and we were surprised to find that it was relatively busy on a Sunday morning. We were greeted by an open, fun, and colorful space. There was a bar by the entrance that served an impressive drinks menu for a breakfast restaurant. We had to wait a couple minutes before we were seated and there was a noticeable wait before our food came after we ordered. We ordered the ham benedict III, bravocado toast, three egg omelette (with mushroom, asparagus, and avocado) with wheat toast, and the smashed avocado benny. The hashbrowns were uniquely created on many of our plates in a circular, short cylinder shape. I was very happy with how my bravocado toast turned out, however at first glance, my mom's omelette included very measly slices of avocado which was disappointing. She also wished that her slices of toast were buttered. However, overall, we had a delicious and enjoyable meal and would definitely come back! read more

Plenty of parking since in a shared strip mall. Also FYI GPS says it's next to Petco but it is not..it is next to Birkenstock and core yoga at end of strip mall. We were in a group of 4 and made a reservation which is suggested for weekdays All of our food was great, waitstaff was friendly and worked together as a team, very efficient. I ordered the shrimp and grits and it was amazing...I recommend if you like cheesy grits...I loved it and when I return to a snooze location I will order again We also had pancakes and corn beef hash everything was really good. read more

This is the second Snooze location that I've been to. I have to say that my second visit did not disappoint. The Chapel Hill location is full of character. The decor is warm and inviting. The seating options here include a bar, tables and booths. I was especially excited to see that the bar area included a tv, which just happened to be showing Wrestlemania highlights (see pics). Seeing Dwayne Johnson before breakfast is a good way to start the day. Our waitress was busy, but was attentive to our table. I ordered the Ham Benedict III. Y'all- it was ________ delicious (use your imagination to fill in the blank). The smoked cheddar hollandaise sauce is tangy, creamy and rich with flavor. The order included a toasted English muffin, sliced ham, and hash browns. It was simply divine! I plan to try the crab Benedict next. read more

We go to Snooze in Denver, CO when we visit there every summer, but we had no idea there was one right down the street at home in NC. We accidentally found the Chapel Hill location a month or two ago, and we have been about three times since because we love it. We go during what are probably off hours, so there is never a wait. I imagine it is pretty busy on weekends. But service has always been friendly and fast. My boyfriend and I try something different every time, and we haven't been disappointed yet. I always have coffee and orange juice, but he has and loves one or two mimosas. We will keep coming back and are so happy to have this place nearby. read more

I was finally able to try Snooze here in the triangle. Let me start by saying YES they are busy, so please make sure you get on the waitlist. The restaurant is new and very clean. Parking can be a pain.The food is always good, we ordered the hot chocolate (yummy) , pork belly fried rice (10/10), shrimp & grits (must try!), and the strawberry pancakes (good but still needed a lil syrup). The food is always good at Snooze, this location was no different! The reason why I gave them 3 stars was our waitress, Alyssa was too busy to help us. Instead she asked her co worker, Brandon to assist us while she fixes a check. She only came to our table once, but it was after we placed our drink & food order with Brandon. She only came to our table to say, she will be with us in a moment. That moment never came. We also never had silverware on our table, neither did the two tables next to us. Although Brandon helped us, I guess it was just too busy for anyone (even our waitress Alyssa) to make sure we were ok with everything & to refill our waters (we had to ask for more water) I would come again not only for the food, but the hostess upfront (didn't get her name) & Brandon were GREAT! If they are able to get more staff, their service would match their food! read more

Excellent, interesting food offerings - refreshing spins on old favorites and some totally unique ideas too. Very welcome surprise. Worried it might be too boisterous but it''s just lively and fun. You can still hold a personal conversation without thinking about volume. Seating could be more comfortable - most is formed plastic but there's a padded bench if you're lucky. Highly recommend! read more
