    Veggie Scramble with hash brown casserole
    Carmen S.

    Standard breakfast fare. Pancakes- good flavor. Light. Could have used a couple more minutes of cooking, they were a bit gummy. However, the flavor was good & they are light. Served with warm syrup which is always a plus. Veggie Egg scramble - ample veggies. Nice amount (it's made with 4 eggs). Definitely needed salt & pepper. Hashbrown casserole - I dont really prefer regular hash browns but this casserole was creamy & I could taste & see the black pepper. Biscuits are buttery & good. Service was fine. I think one of the things that impressed me most was the actions of the manager. The restaurant was a bit crowded yet the manager was busy spot cleaning the walls & baseboards. I didn't notice any dirtiness but maybe that's because she cleans them a lot. Didn't catch the manager's name but she had pink hair. (likely a different color now!) but shout out to her!!

    First time trying! It was pretty good, we just came im for your traditional breakfast items and I believe the Texas Benedict? I love the ambiance, we came super early so we didn't experience the crowd. I would like to come back and try other menu items!

    Cowboy Scramble

    The service was excellent or should I say egg-selent. Nothing? Come on! That was funny! The manager Megan and our server Trinity were both wonderful and made the entire experience A+. Party of 6 on the patio and everyone enjoyed their food. Stand outs were shrimp and grits, and cowboy scramble. Their sausage cream gravy was also really good. I usually don't like sausage gravy but they brought out a tiny bit to try and it convinced 3 of us to get items that in included that gravy. Parking is a bit challenging but it's town center so you always get paid parking. It's right across the street from Perry's. Glad we tried it! Kudos for the great service!

    Greatest Coffee!

    Great coffee, meaning that it was hot coffee and fresh. Service: not so great. Food: this was my first visit to this particular Toasted Yolk. The food was delicious. It was consistent with other Toasted Yolks, which is positive.

    Breakfast is one of my favorite meals and The Toasted Yoke consistently serves the basics very well. The restaurant is always clean and bright with lots of natural lighting. The staff is friendly from the initial greeting from the host to the server's timely arrival at your table. The pancakes are a reasonable size and fluffy, tasty without tons is syrup. My eggs were a generous portion and perfectly cooked served with flavorful sausage patties. My breakfast desires are simple but I expect good and The Toasted Yoke works for me.

    Erika's service is always above expectations! She's helpful and so kind. The ambiance is always comforting and relaxing. The mimosas and food hit the pot every time!

    They definitely revamped their menu. They ate way better than I remember. So many items to choose from. I'll definitely come back.

    Eggs shouldn't have a brown side.

    WONDERFUL WAFFLE FANTASTIC FRIES…read more Saturday 1 pm. 30 minute wait. Place is small. Raining. Outside tables and bar seating is available right now. We wait. Menu is on a QR code on napkin box or u can ask for paper menu. ALOT of variety. Burrito, chicken and waffles, donuts, chicken wings, spam and eggs, bulgogi kimchi fries, country fried steak and more. Ordered 1. Ube Waffle- Warm, creamy, buttery, fresh waffle taste, delicious! Would order again and again 2. Bulgogi Kimchi fries- I was not expecting them to be this good as kimchi has a very strong fermented, acidic flavor. SO GOOD. There wasn't tons of kimchi on the fries, they have mayo and hosin sauce on them with cliantro and other stuff. did I say SO GOOD? Would order again and again as a shareable between friends. 3. Country Fried Steak, sunny side up eggs and cheesy hash- I did not expect it to be so tender. The pepper flavor hit me right away. The runny eggs with some hash on the fork, delicious combo. 4. Viet style Steak and eggs- My friend ordered it, it's his second time ordering. He loves it. It comes with a salad, dressing and two how u want'em eggs. The steak is marinated and tender. Service was fast. I had a mimosa, it wasn't too orangey or too champagney. I loved the glass it came it, stylish and tapered upwards. Would try a different drink next time. They have a lot of different drinks. Overall, the visit has me wanting more, especially hearing about their unique donuts. Already looking forward to next visit. Gonna try other things in the menu. The fries and waffle would be part of my final death row meal

Since it was cold that day, we waited near the outdoor heaters, which made the wait a bit more comfortable. The restaurant offers both indoor and outdoor seating, along with a private indoor dining room for larger groups. I'm not sure whether there's an additional fee to reserve the private room. There is plenty of seating overall, but this place is consistently busy, especially during weekend brunch. Given Houston's often extreme weather, I definitely prefer sitting indoors when possible. I almost always order the sausage and eggs over a bed of sweet potato tater tots. They are absolutely delicious! Not many restaurants serve sweet potato tater tots, so whenever I'm craving them, this is one of my go-to spots. Because of my food allergies, I asked for a side of maple syrup instead of their house sauces, and it paired surprisingly well with the tots. While their gluten free and dairy free options are somewhat limited, I was able to modify my meal by omitting the cheese. The hostess was friendly and welcoming, but the waitstaff seemed overwhelmed by how busy the restaurant was. As a result, service wasn't particularly attentive. If you visit during peak brunch hours, I would recommend coming with the expectation that the food is the highlight, while the service may be a bit slower due to the crowds.

Also came with a biscuit and jam, which were average - the biscuit tasted like it might have been from a box or mix rather than scratch? But not sure. My friend got the Oliver's breakfast which was a large portion, and she also got a blueberry pancake, which was packed full of blueberries and had a nice crispy edge. She also ordered hot tea and got to choose her tea bag from a lovely box, which was a cute touch. The only thing I might say is that the owner was a bit brusque/gruff. I understand being businesslike and I know customers can be a pain in the food industry, but his attitude was just not very welcoming I suppose. Still a good experience overall though!

Although it appears to be a typical full service restaurant, there is no server to take your order. You begin by ordering at the counter. Afterward, you find a table and your order will be brought out when it's ready. I ordered: The McFancy (substituted the sausage for a tomato slice) $7 - The biscuit had a crispy, golden exterior and a soft, fluffy interior. You can tell they bake it fresh in-house. It was VERY buttery but also very finger licking good. Blueberry Pancake (without powdered sugar) $12 - Their pancake is truly unique and unlike any other I've ever had. The deep golden brown edge around the pancake is crispy and give it a satisfying crunch, similar to the edge of a grilled cheese sourdough sandwich. While it's quite greasy, it's also incredibly satisfying to eat. Both dishes 5/5. Where I felt the experience fell short was the service. Although the young dark-haired gal who was clearing and setting tables was very friendly and pleasant, the lady at the counter taking my order wearing a chef coat, who I presume may be the owner, wasn't particularly warm or friendly. I asked if the sausage in my sandwich could be substituted for something other than meat since I don't eat meat. She begrudgingly said, "the best I can do is a slice of tomato." I was perfectly happy with that substitution but her demeanor was disappointing and very off putting. Overall, Oliver's Gourmet has a nice atmosphere and good food but the service was inconsistent during my visit. A little more warmth and friendliness from the owner would have made this a 5 star experience.
