    Always WOW. Food is impeccable. You definitely will not leave hungry. They do care about the quality of their food and portions are definitely Texas size. Don't think about any other breakfast joint. Price point is a little higher but well worth it. Had the toasted Yolk breakfast southern style and yop had to have a mule drink....which kicked me in the face for the morning lol. Great bartenders, servers, management, food, atmosphere. Keep it up yall and they have over the years. No slowing down here on a great breakfast, brunch and lunch establishment.

    Decided to stop in for Saturday brunch. Ordered hot coffee, eggs Benedict and hash brown casserole. Service was great and food was tasty and well seasoned.

    This chain has potential. Service and atmosphere: Service was on a slow side, however, our server was nice and polite. The place itself needs a bit TLC. Unfortunately, the AC wasn't working properly as we felt hot inside. Eating hot food and drinking hot coffee made the feeling worst. Food and drinks: The restaurant offers good selection of various breakfast and lunch dishes. I chose California omelette. It was prepared well. I just wish they added more feta cheese as it was not much of it. Other dishes we ordered were good. Pricing: $$ - the items on the menu had standard prices for breakfast chain restaurants.

    During our second day visiting TX for my mom's birthday, we took her to The Toasted Yolk Cafe for another round of breakfast. This was definitely our favorite breakfast spot during our trip! There's a ton of parking out front. The restaurant was packed but we were brought to our table immediately. Everything was clean and our waitress was very kind and welcoming. We had bottomless coffee that was indeed, bottomless and never went empty. Our breakfasts were all hot and delicious! My mom is particular about how her bacon is cooked and they crisped it exactly how she likes it. I loved the side of fruit each meal comes with, too. Everyone was thrilled with their meals. This was definitely a new favorite breakfast spot, I just wish I could bring it home with me!

    Great brunch spot. They sat us quickly, service was quick, and the food was delicious! This experience neither wowed me nor was disappointing. It was just a good breakfast spot! My coffee was always full and the food came out hot. We sat outside, it was a bit scattered looking. Birds kept coming in and out as well. Not much they could control though.

    Came here for a late Sunday brunch and perhaps I came too late. They close at 3pm and we arrived at about 2:15pm. I was looking forward to having some pancakes but unfortunately apparently they had "run out" of pancakes by that time. I've never heard of a primarily breakfast restaurant running out of pancakes. That put a damper on my experience because I wasn't really interested in their French toast or Belgian waffle. However, I ended up opting for the waffle. I had an omelette to go with it and it was quite a lot given they used 4 eggs which was unusual given most establishments use no more than 3 eggs. That aside it tasted decent, but it wasn't anything spectacular. The waffle was pretty basic, as it cost extra to add any toppings such as fruit. I think what impressed me the most about this place was their customer service. We had a very large party, including two kids and they were very accommodating of all of us despite coming within their final hour of business. The manager also stopped by to check in on us which was nice. We stayed well past 3pm to finish our meals and were never rushed out which I really appreciated. I may give this place another go based on service alone. I will just make sure to come earlier when they should still have all menu items available.

    Great food and service. No wait on an early Sunday morning and I enjoyed the patio area.

    Hot honey chicken biscuit and 2 eggs and a cake

    We come here for breakfast probably 4 times a year. The service is hit or miss but the food isn't bad. It is on the pricier side, say compared to black bear. While I don't think it's the best in town, it's not bad! We actually wanted to go to black walnut but they were closed for renovations and decided to switch it up. I'm not mad at it! They have an array of breakfast cocktails and mimosas that go on special often for those who enjoy an alcoholic drink at brunch. They also have a bar. Coffee is good!

    Handmade Omelette
    Collin H.

    Went here for brunch. The staff was accommodating and able to seat us outside. With our dog. Our waitress was helpful and checked in on us frequently. Overall the food was good. The salsa and queso on top of my omelette was delicious.

    BRISKET SCRAMBLE.   No sides were included other than 1pc toast.

    We love the food, ordering to go/delivery sucks. Half the order is always missing, whether you order through their website or DoorDash.

    Buttermilk pancake
    Ashley B.

    Very delicious and reasonable option for breakfast if you don't wanna go to Denny's. If you're on a budget, I would go to Denny's. If not, it's gonna be double the price of Denny's. Cons: Waiters are very busy so it's hard to catch them Pros: The pancake was the star of the show It stood out because it is delicious flavor The bacon, eggs and hash brown casserole was delicious as well! I went back the next day to get breakfast so is definitely up there! To go ordering process: It was a little chaotic because when I came in, I had to ask for help at the podium and then I went to the bar and I had to place my order. I felt like the waiter could've offered me water while I waited, but they didn't. When my food arrived I wasn't told thank you. Have a good day, The waiter just slid the food to me. Hmmm very interesting. I'll just stick to my to go meals from Denny's.

    Great diner with a variety of options for the whole family. Incredible service - personal shout out to Javian - but the whole team was amazing and very attentive. Welcoming atmosphere and good food. Easy. I would definitely return. Ample parking, okay prices. Highly recommend!

    Golden Gate Omelette with extra fruit

    First time at this restaurant and I want to say this place was great - I was there for breakfast on Sunday- very busy - luckily I added myself on the waitlist on the Yelp which was the best - some people were waiting close to an hour ! - so if waitlist is available add yourself- highly recommend. The service was excellent and my service was Natalia ! She was polite and respectful- and she was so patient- great server. She was so sweet and helpful making sure we had everything we needed at our table. I recommend this spot for a hearty breakfast. The win for me was they had gluten-free toast & dairy free creamer - big thank you !

The 1/2 lb of meat was somewhat satisfying, but you'll probably want a side (i.e, fries or tots) to make the meal feel more complete. Our friend ordered a shake and was unable to drink from it because the straw was designed too small for the consistency. Unfortunately, they didn't have any other straw, but not a big deal - just something to consider for the future. They don't offer free water. If you are thirsty, you have to buy a drink or stay thirsty. I'm not a fan of this concept because it's not going to force me to buy bottled water. I just rather not pay for bottled water, but that's preferential. I rather go next door to get milk tea afterwards. Not sure how I feel about tipping at a place where you order at the counter, clean your own table, and take out your own trash. Do people tip at Whataburger? The interior felt clean. They had a hand washing station up front too (though not sure if we were suppose to use it or if it was employee only). Come and give this place a try!

Once inside and seated, our waitress was at our table in less than a minute. (I noticed this was true, with the couple that came and sat at a table next to us too) We got our drink orders and then a basket of homemade sour dough rolls (biscuits) was at our table. These were great biscuits and the jelly & butter were out of this world. My wife had the Caesar Salad with grilled chicken. The salad was fresh & crisp and the chicken, was seasoned and grilled to perfection. I had the sticky ribs. The ribs were fall off the bone and great. The sticky sauce was a nice mixture of sweet and spicy. Definitely going to get them again. Great food, matched with great service. My only negative comment, which did does not affect my rating. Is the table top was loose. It wiggled around and moved any time you cut anything or even just by spreading the butter and jelly on the biscuits.

This time it did come with different sides - kind of cool, something different than the previous trip which was only in October. They said they said one of the high top tables near the bar and I thought it was kind of cool that the manager brought me a little coat rack thing to hang our purses on. We had two problems which is why it got 3 stars: 1. Our reservation was for seven and at 7:25. We had to go ask when our table would be ready and the reservations were made a week in advance 2. we were there for a birthday (2 couples) and we wanted the table side smoked old-fashioned so we ordered it and our waitress who is new didn't bother to tell us that it cost extra to get the table side. So they brought us the plain one from behind the bar, so we kind of missed out on that experience. Since it's $5 more expensive to do a table side, you would think that they would push for that to raise the overall bill for their tip. But her excuse when we mentioned it was "oh, you didn't ask for that. Its $5 more" Well, we didn't know we had to ask for it, thats not mentioned on the menu - we just thought it was part of the drink... but other than our waitress being inexperienced... it was a fantastic evening and we would still return.

The exterior is just as beautifully decorated. It's clear that chef-owner Lori Pope poured a lot of time, heart, and soul into both the menu and the store's design. The hostess was super friendly. As soon as I walked in, she gave me a warm and smiling greeting. The menu was a feast for the eyes. It had a lot of lovely pictures of the different dishes. I was ecstatic to see that there were so many vegetarian and vegan friendly options. Also, most of the dishes can be requested to be made gluten-free. Big plus. You don't order at your table, instead you go to the counter in the back and make sure to bring the sheet with your table number on it. The gal at the counter who took our order wasn't as friendly as the hostess but she was polite enough to inform us about the 15% charge. The food came out very quickly. Hopefully it's because they had a ton of people working in the back. Hopefully. I ordered the Magic Mushroom Tacos and thought it was a beautiful plate. My favorite thing about the dish is the tortillas. It had a nice light crisp to it and kept all the fillings intact from start to finish. The "Magic Mushrooms" were good but could have been better if the batter were lighter and crispier. The batter was a little on the heavy and dense side for me. I also think the sauce could be even better if it had a bit less oil and a bit more flavor. I really enjoyed the potato slices and the fresh berries were a great way to cleanse the palate. My lunch date ordered the Biscuit and gravy dish and thought it was good. We also ordered a side of the Belgian waffle to share. I thought the waffle on its own was extremely sweet and way too dense for my liking. I am happy there's a locally owned and created brunch place like Harvest Kitchen and will definitely be back to try other dishes. Note: There's an automatic 15% service charge to every order.

I don't expect to sit down for 10 - 15 minutes to then be notified they are out of what I ordered. I've sat down for an extra 5 - 10 minutes and I saw 10 empty tables with no line. The whole experience here has gone downhill and rapidly fast. To say the least, I will not consider myself a regular here anymore. I added an old picture because I really use to enjoy this place.
