The food was amazing! I went while they were still doing some inside construction m. It was quite noisy, but I later visited again and food was still amazing! Highly recommend!! read more

I was really excited about the experience. I instantly feel in love with the description of the lemon ricotta poppyseed pancakes. It had all of the makings of a great meal. Boy did it disappoint, it is essentially a pancake with a thin layer of the mixture at the bottom. Not mixing the mixture into the pancake batter was a huge miss and this dish fell flat. The pancake was dry and crumbled when I tried to cut and transfer to a smaller plate. The biscuits and gravy did not look fresh and the biscuits were not smothered just a dollop. The pancakes were huge but dry, the service was quick, but the food was a miss. Neither meal was completed in its entirety. I probably would not return. read more

The Toasted Yolk in Lafayette was such a pleasant experience from start to finish. I went with my family which included my 102 year old grandmother and my 92 year old great aunt who are both very opinionated and picky when it comes to their food. Upon entry we were warmly greeted by the host who kindly held my grandmother's walker behind the hostess stand. I truly appreciated that as they were very accommodating to her needs. We sat in either Jolie or Joelle's section. I forgot her exact name but she was incredibly kind and patient in answering all of our questions about the menu. My great aunt had seen the restaurant on the news and was very excited to try the staple item which was the Toasted Yolk, basically eggs in a basket. She ordered that and I ordered two pancakes for the table. Those pancakes could have easily fed the entire restaurant. I kept seeing them come out to other tables and noticed many people could not finish theirs. I see why. With a table of four we still took a lot home. We added blueberries to ours which took them to another level. For my entree I shared with my grandmother. We ordered the Eiffel Tower Omelette and built our own combination along with grits and a biscuit. Both were very delicious but the pancakes stole the show. The mimosa offerings were plentiful with different flavors to choose from. I had the strawberry one and it was delicious. I would definitely return. The best part was after I dropped my great aunt off my cousin called to tell me she talked for thirty minutes straight about how good the food was. That is a five star review in itself. read more

This is a nice option for brunch. I went on a Saturday afternoon and was able to sit immediately, but they do close at 3. The food came fast, they serve breakfast and lunch the entire time. The junkyard fries appetizer was good, I especially liked the chili. Another honorable mention to the hashbrown casserole. I would like to go back to try some of their cocktails! They also have a nice loyalty program available. read more

This was our first time at the Toasted Yolk and I thought it was pretty good. I got the southern fried Arnold with a poached egg. It was pretty tasty and interesting. I love eggs Benedict so I was a little skeptical to taste this take on it, but I was pleasantly surprised. Just make sure you're hungry when you go because the portions are large. The service was very prompt and friendly. We will given blueberry donuts to celebrate our first visit and they were very yummy. I can't wait to go back and try more things. read more

Always a great experience. Management and staff are top notch and care about their customers. Food was amazing as always and our server took great care of us and anticipated every need. Would highly recommend a stop here. The wait list option is very useful to manage expectations prior to arrival. read more

Excellent food, service, & ambience. Our first time here. Coming in on a Sunday, the wait wasn't too bad. Our server Alexandra was very kind! Even with the wait, everyone made sure to say thank you, etc. We will definitely be back! I forgot to take photos. :( read more

The food was really good. The brisket is Smokey and makes for a great omelet. The cheese grits were excellent and not too grainy. Instead of the country gravy on the eggs Benedict, we choose to get the Cholula Ranch instead.... Oooo it was so tasty. I could drink that ranch! The coffee was strong like we like it. The greeters at the front door weren't too welcoming but other than that our waitress was nice and attentive and refilled our coffee regularly. The restrooms are a little tight but they were clean and everything was stocked. We arrived at 9:42AM and were seated quickly. All in all it was a good experience and we will be back. read more

I had no idea there was a new brunch restaurant that opened. Firstly this is a great location with plenty of parking, and open seating arrangements, tables, booths, and high tops. We arrived and were seated quickly, it was busy however you could tell it's newer and they're working out the timing. I liked the upbeat vibe. For the meal the soup and sandwich was ok, tuna needed more flavor, but the 4 egg omelette was very good, however the hands down star was the Pancakes!!! Which was the size of the plate, and they were actually fluffy and a great vanilla flavor that stood out, now I know why a serving is only two, I could only eat one. Try the two eggs with cake which is the pancake, and I'm sure this will be very filling, with good value. read more

This review is for the shrimp and grits solely. It is not good. At All. It's a plate full of straight sour taste with poorly seasoned and poorly cooked shrimp. I don't feel good now. read more

The service here was awesome! We tried the donuts for an app. and it was delicious but very very sweet. I enjoyed the chicken biscuit and the French toast. Not ceasy about the bacon. But we will try it again when we are in the area. read more

I love this place.. but only on weekdays. I always order the shrimp and grits and it's delicious on weekdays. I tried weekends 2 x's and the grits were lumpy and didn't taste nearly as good as during the week. I think it's bc they are packed during the weekends. read more

Ordered a crawfish omelette. You would think a crawfish omelette which is made with 4 eggs would have a good bit of crawfish in it to called a crawfish omelette. The whole omelette had 4 small crawfish tails in it and they charge 19.99 for essentially what was an omelette that had l onions and red bell pepper what would be a southwest omelette. There wasn't enough crawfish in it to even justify it as a crawfish omelette. It's a lie and a ripoff. Plus I get a regular coffee with flavored creamers and charge 3.89 and call it gourmet. Another overcharge and ripoff. Great waitress food not worth it. read more

From the moment we walked through the door this was one of the most pleasant experiences I've had at a restaurant in a very long time. Every staff member we met from the greeter to our amazing waitress Kayla to even the guys clearing the tables had a smile on their face and would greet us and make sure everything was to our satisfaction. The food was great, but we stayed with the standard fair though the biscuits and Arnold's looked amazing. Next time will veer away from ham and eggs and maybe try something fancy. Again, a huge shout out to Kayla, who, from the very first moment she came to our table had a smile that was radiant and warm, made suggestions, checked on us often, and just made it a five star experience. We had to stop and talk Cort the manager on duty to tell him how impressed we were with the staff and the experience. Love, love, love this place. read more

We love this place. Great breakfast! More than you can eat in one sitting. Delicious!!

What an excellent addition to Lafayette! Large restaurant and bar with plenty of seating. The menu is excellent with lots of choices. The cocktails and entrees are reasonably priced. I had the Southwest Breakfast Bowl and it was very tasty. I doused it in their amazing Garlicky Greengo Hot Sauce! So good. I do hope they add some pictures on the walls as the place is clean and comfortable but the ambience is a bit sterile. However, that is a minor quibble. We loved the place and will be back soon! read more

Very loud, felt like a gentrified/millennial taco joint. The waitstaff was kind, which I appreciated, but they got my order wrong and it was impossible to pin down a waiter since they were so understaffed with a full restaurant. The food was also very mid...I had originally ordered a bowl that had grains and sausage but got Eggs Benedict with cafeteria nacho cheese on top?? Very weird. Wouldn't recommend it. read more

I ordered the avocado toast and my husband ordered French toast with a side of bacon. That with two drinks was $50 - which is very expensive! The ambience of the restaurant is like a hotel lobby -the bright green everywhere is very displeasing to the eye. Our waitress was nice and attentive. However, my eggs were supposed to be over medium and they came out so over easy that the egg white was running on my plate. When I mentioned that to the waitress and asked for her to remake them she said the cooks were "probably just in a hurry." This did not make me feel great about the quality of the food. Overall, the food did taste good, but we probably won't be back. read more

I took my daughter and granddaughter sons today. The children were finished eating before we got our food. When it did come out it was lukewarm and not seasoned well. 1 read more

First time at the toasted yolk and it was pretty damn good! The hashbrowns were delicious !! They were cheesy. Service was quick, food came out maybe 15min after we ordered. Now as far as how the place looks, the green is an eye sore. But very clean establishment. read more

The food was cold ,we reported cold they offered to heat the gravy to try and warm it up!! Then said they would remake food when food returned I was handed a plate full of gravy at the bottom of it and the gravy was cold when touching to gravy on biscuits again it wasn't warm as you would except fresh food from kitchen and the plate we sent back of the cowboy scramble was returned with cold meat and biscuits again my son being hungry still ate the food! We have been here serval times after church but have to say this is the worst food we have ever been served and when given a 2nd chance to serve it and again it is served cold! Just very disappointing but server was great read more

Tried this place for the first time today & certainly wont be my last. This place is so cute and welcoming. The staff is so friendly and the menu is massive. I ordered a strawberry orange mimosa and it was delish. For my meal I got the breakfast burrito and hash-brown casserole which was absolutely amazing. I highly recommend this place for anyone wanting to have brunch. read more

Our meal took a long time to arrive with the waitress apologizing. The food presentation was disappointing and portion sizes small. All for $45! Will NOT rec or return. read more

First, I want to start off and say the customer service was really great! Everyone was so kind! The atmosphere was really chill and cozy. For the appetizer I ordered the Churro Donuts! It was so good! It was fluffy, light, and tasted great with and without the caramel sauce! The prices of the menu items are very affordable, which I believe is a plus! For my entree, I ordered the Yolk's Lover Platter. It was okay. The bacon was chewy, the pancake was doughy (almost tasted like flour), & the eggs were okay. Overall, I would go back and recommend people to try it out! I would just order something different the next time I go. read more

The service was fine and attentive. But don't get the fried chicken steak that was the worst one ever. I really should have sent it back and got something else. They need to go eat one at Rachelle's nearby and see how that's done. read more

What a great addition for Lafayette. I love this place. The atmosphere is great and the food that we had was amazing. We were seated immediately and our waitress was very nice and attentive. The drinks were very good too!! I highly recommend! read more

They have the best patty melt. They also have great omelettes and their fruit is unbelievable.

The food is good, but service is so slow. It seems like they have a problem with getting food out of the kitchen, which slows everything else down. I have only been twice on Sunday morning and it was slow each time. read more

Had to wait an hour for food once we ordered the food was just okay bar tender should not be waiting table and take care of the bar. Bloody Mara could be better chances of us returning is not likely read more

Once seated we easily waited 5-10 minutes for a server just to order our drinks. Once he finally arrived he said sorry guys it's really really really really busy today and I have three tables over there (motioning on the other side of the partition) and they just double sat me. First off, that's not something you tell your table. Second, I don't want to know why I just want to place a drink order. Water for myself and my daughter as well as a sprite for my daughter. Husband ordered coffee. Our drinks were delivered but coffee was not, citing cleaning coffee mugs. 15/20 minutes later, still no coffee while other tables around us are being served coffee. He finally realized and coffee was brought, "just in time". We ordered our food - we all ordered breakfast, nothing crazy, eggs, pancakes, the Arnold. Easy, right?! Nope. Tables all around us are getting food and yet here we are an hour in and still don't have food. What gives? Finally mine and my husbands food is brought out, without our daughters pancakes. All of it brought by other servers. Our server has yet to check on us, refill drinks, make sure we have everything. The manager seemed to be walking around helping but even he wasn't that much of a help. I don't think I'll be returning until service has improved, if ever. I prefer other places in town, but gave this a shot today to change it up. Management needs improvement, service needs improvement. Food is okay. read more

the omelet was oozing with oil! it was so nasty. then on top of that we had sourdough toast, how could you mess up sourdough toast right? well, it had a gnat baked into it!! the tomato "soup" was the blandest soup i've ever had; definitely out of a can. we unfortunately will not be returning. ever. it was very unappetizing. read more
