Lauren was a great server, with exceptional service and a great personality. She greeted my family warmly and made us feel welcome.

Dined here for late brunch one afternoon while in Houston. This location is not as large as others but very nice and seems to get a lot of guests as it was bit crowded. I tried the special the Reuben Sandwich Benedict with cheese hash browns. My food was freshly made delicious and the eggs were cooked to my liking perfect medium poached. The chicken salad was also very good. Their signature Bloody Mary was little spicy the way I like to have mines. Anyway, I would go back to this location again if in this area. Service was good as well and attentive to our needs. Give it a try folks they have a good breakfast menu but also the lunch items seems good as well. read more

My usual Friday breakfast spot closed out nowhere last Friday. So I spent my morning looking for a new breakfast spot. I went to the Katy location over a year ago. I wasn't too crazy with what I ordered. This time around, I'm just looking for the usual: 2 eggs, bacon, potatoes, bread/pancake, and strong coffee. I decided to check out the location on Westheimer. I walked in, was greeted with a menu, and sat at the bar. Place was empty but loud. It's a Friday morning in Houston. The Mimosas are being poured and the weekend has started already for some people! lol. I ordered "Two Eggs and a Cake". I pretty much got a bang for my buck! The French Toast was a so damn sweet and good complement to the bacon, eggs, and hash brown casserole. The coffee was fresh and strong! Even took some to go! Overall, it looks like I found my new Friday morning spot. read more

In town for a brief visit and stopped by for breakfast on a Sunday. Plenty parking and seating. We were greeted and seated without any delay. I was craving pancakes and added n egg and bacon. The bacon was excellent. Just the right thickness, crispiness, and fattiness. The eggs were cooked too long and part of them had begaun to brown. They weren't inedible. But I certainly hope that's not how they are usually served. I wasn't asked if I wanted them cooked hard or soft. The pancakes were huge and hot. Not bad but I'd try another dish if I were to return. I asked for extra butter one time and it never came. The server was cool but was a little less attentive than I expected as it was not at all busy. The music wasn't too loud which made for great conversation without yelling. There's a bar but we didn't get any 'dranks'. My host got eggs Benedict and scarfed it down before I could snap a pic or taste a bite :). 3.5 stars for me. read more

The Toasted Yolk Cafe - Pancakes(2pc). Added bacon and eggs - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Houston, Texas

What an awesome breakfast joint! This is a perfect place to meet friends, come on a date, or just indulge by yourself. I ordered the Southwest breakfast bowl. It was absolutely delicious and very filling. I highly recommend if you have a big appetite but watch out as it can be a little spicy. I also tried my friends biscuits and gravy and they were soooo good. The gravy was nice and peppery, yum! We all enjoyed our meals. We got a round of mimosas as well which were good. Juices are not fresh if that's a concern. Our server Stephen was very nice and went above and beyond to make us feel like we were the most important customers around. Shout out to him! Will most definitely return! read more

Came here today for some breakfast as I'm visiting town. Checked out the menu and of course I picked the biscuits and gravy! The place was nice and clean. Staff seemed friendly enough. It was a cool little spot. Why 3 stars. I placed my order and I swear 2 minutes later my food was at the table. That's not a bad thing given what I had ordered. However, my biscuit was very hard. It has a good flavor to it, but it wasn't soft. The gravy was very delicious and I enjoyed the big chunks of sausage in it. The gravy wasn't hot enough and was very thick so it didn't make the biscuits soft enough to enjoy. My waiter was cool, but didn't check on me at all. I sat for 10 minutes and finally asked for the bill since he never really asked me how I was. And I was sitting at the bar. I tried striking conversation to get some suggestions on things because of course I'm not from here. But his responses seemed like he was more annoyed so I didn't try to have a conversation with him. Gave him my money and left. I did have another guy talk to me twice and check on me. He was really nice. Would I try this place again? I would because I seen things on the menu I would enjoy. Next time I would also ask for a more fresh made biscuit too. read more

A nice place for traditional brunch favorites. If you're looking for a good place that'll satisfy all tastes including picky eaters and restrictive diets, etc you should try this place out. As someone visiting from out of town, we like to try places that don't exist in our neck of the woods. But we still have to think about young children and picky in-laws. Got a late start to the day? Some people want breakfast? Some want lunch? Sweet or savory? This place ticks all the boxes. We came on a Wednesday, around 1:00 in the afternoon... Perfect for us because the work that many people there and the service was quick and attentive. The orders were correct and the food came out hot. Fried chicken sandwich was a lot bigger than it seemed in the picture and unfortunately last seasoning. no matter, I still left with the other half to sate inevitable apres-beer late-night munchies. The onion strings under the pretzel bun are a nice touch. The special sauce tingled the tongue. Piquant, not unnecessarily spicy. Pickles on the side? No problem. Breakfast standards such as eggs, french toast, bacon and sausage, cooked perfectly and to order. Requested runny yolks did indeed flow like liquid gold. Chili was on point, tortilla soup was delicious and Grandma was satisfied with her cream of broccoli. read more

Good spot for hungry folks! Service and ambiance: First of all, big shout out to Mary C. who was our waitress! Her friendly personality and outstanding service made our visit super special. The restaurant was clean and spacious. Plenty of parking spaces outside too. Food: BIG portions so come here hungry. The food arrived in timely manner and was tasty. Our party enjoyed the dishes we ordered. Make sure to ask for side of their spicy sauce. It went very well with all the foods. Pricing: Very affordable considering how much food you are getting. read more

Service was slow and the food was just so so. I routinely go to another toasted yolk on fountain view and found it to be much better.

Overall it was a nice experience but could use some improvement. The wait time to sit down was definitely a little long so we ordered mimosas while we waited. I had the pineapple mimosas which was great! Once we were finally seated, our waiter was Steven. He did a great job. He had a semi large group but he did great. He was personable and wanted to make sure he heard our requests. I ordered the TWO EGGS AND A CAKE. I opted to get strawberry banana pancakes instead of the standard pancake. Delicious. Also the hashbrown casserole.......... Delicious. I honestly could eat that all day. The one downfall of the whole experience was the gnats. Gnats were everywhere which indicates to me, they are not cleaning properly. There are no plants in sight to be over watered, so there is definitely a cleaning issue. Other than that, it was a pleasant experience read more

Yesterday, we popped in for Sunday brunch and had a good time! As soon as we came in, we immediately got seated. Once seated, waiter was quite friendly & helped us navigate the menu with his faves. Menu has a number of affordable varieties and it was easy to make substitutions to our orders. We got the fried chicken sandwich with a side of fresh fruit and the 2 eggs and a cake (which we subbed for French toast). Chicken was crispy and paired with a pretzel bun that melted in your mouth. The accompanying sauce was flavorful. Eggs and French toast were also treat! French toast was warm and had just the right amount of sweetness. Overall, a really good deal for the price. read more

We were seated outside and had to walk in to get a server- we were patient and waited almost 10 minutes but felt like it was ridiculous no one came/ the host didnt tell the server we were outside. Throughout the whole time we would have to go inside to get service. Also the girl gave us water with a bug in it... 0/10 read more

To me this is a step up from your Denny's/ihop, not fine dining, but still a nice place to bring the fam or grab a quick meal with a boo. The environment is super chill/casual I've been to this chain several times and the food is pretty consistent. Don't order at anything crazy like a lobster bisque ( they don't sell those, but for example). The burger was good. The shrimp and grits were flavorful, but tangy. The service was great! We sat at the bar and the bartender was very attentive. I had an issue with my meat being over cooked and it was immediately handled! read more

I love this place. I'm a frequent flyer here. Everything is always so good and not expensive. I can walk out full around $25 with tip. My biggest complaint is the bathroom. It's always moist and dirty. Things are breaking and need to be taken care of more. I don't know why it always feels like a sauna in there but it does. And not to mention a safely hazard since the floor is always wet. read more

The flavors were ok only. Nothing too special to make it worth the 20 minutes we had to wait after we were sat at our table until someone showed up to take our drinks. Then they disappeared and we had to fetch a waiter to take our order. He happily took our order and explained the menu and went away. About 5 minutes later our waiter came to repeat the order the other guy took. By this time we were 45 minutes at the table and still no food. Just a bland coffee. We paid $125 for what's on the photo, plus another plate. Not really a good value for what I thought was going to be a quick breakfast. Place was clean and crowded, but it seemed like not enough waiters. read more

The Toasted Yolk Cafe - Poached eggs on chicken strips with biscuit and gravy. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Houston, Texas

I ordered breakfast this morning from a third-party delivery service. My food arrived hot, fresh and fast. I ordered the two eggs and a cake. My eggs were cooked perfectly over hard, and the grits had the right texture and consistency. Also, They were not swimming in butter, which I appreciated. The two pieces of sausage were standard fare, but one piece of sausage would've been plenty. The French toast had a light and fluffy texture with a little crispiness on the ends and a nice cinnamon dusting. It was very good! A solid breakfast from the Toasted Yolk. read more

So I had the omelette with brisket. This meal was absolutely amazing. I have never been so excited for the next bite. I had it with the grits but I couldn't really judge because I loved the egg so much. I had the chicken and waffles the day before and it was a bit much for me. For the drink I got the margarita. It was okay. Not strong. The strawberry orange mimosa was delicious. read more

We usually eat at the bar, mainly because it's a lot quicker than waiting for a table, but the bar tenders are always friendly and have some interesting stories and/or jokes from time to time. You can never go wrong with their signature item, The Toasted Yolk, but I also LOVE the Alaskan Eggs Benedict, with a side of extra crispy bacon! Don't forget the Specialty frozen drink(s) either! They have a great variety of mixed drinks on the menu, but I keep going back to the Paloma! Whatever you get, it's bound to be delicious! See you there next Saturday or Sunday! read more

This location was clean and nice. Friendly staff. I had the southwest bowl and it was SPICY. The waitress said it had SOME spice but that was about a 4 out of 5 to me on spice level. Next time I know to tell them less spice. The shrimp and grits was good and creamy. I would order both again. My mom had the pancakes, eggs, & turkey sausage and there was no complaints. This was her first visit to any Toasted Yolk. Happy Birthday to my mom! She enjoyed her breakfast. read more

First things first s/o to Gina the GM! The moment Gina learned it was our first time, she immediately stopped what she was doing and brought us complimentary drinks as welcome. Huge s/o to Charles our server as well! Spaciously designed, The Toasted Yolk has plenty of seating with a patio seating as well. The staff were friendly and very welcoming, not to mention you'll see the chef & GM constantly floating to ensure the guest experience is up to par. Food wise, The Toasted Yolk has a plethora of options. Our choices were Granola Apple French Toast, French Toast, & Shrimp and Grits. The Shrimp and Grits are a must try! Grits were cooked to perfection and I don't say that lightly. The savory bacon and diced tomatoes, offset the bit of spice kick making for an excellent entree. The toasted chips are nice touch for scooping. Portion wise the shrimp and grits is huge, so huge I didn't even touch my Granola Apple French Toast. If on the west side of HTX, I definitely recommend pulling up for brunch. We got there kind of early for the brunch crowd, however during our dining it got busier overtime. read more
