So I brought my daughter for breakfast here and we were both amazed by the service, freshness, and taste of the food. The waitress were extremely friendly and helpful, the food was exactly how my ( extremely picky) teen likes it. This place is a 10 out of 10 for me any day. This review is more so just to say thanks to the staff for the experience. Sorry for no pics didn't plan on writing a review. read more

Ordered Greek salad, turkey rueben, up charge of fruit, graham crackered up French toast. $48.76 Greek salad wasn't too bad. The turkey Rueben was with deli meat, which tasted a bit rubbery. Russian dressing was good. The fruit side was meh, strawberries were a bit mature. Turkey sausage was boring and bland and maybe frozen. The graham crackered up French toast. Service is good. Food was average. read more

Very friendly service and extensive menu. Coffee is good. My son loved his pancakes and sausage and he ordered fries which he loved as well. I thought they kind of tasted like rancid oil or old oil so I could not eat any. I had an egg sandwich on a croissant, no meat, and while The croissant was dry and kind of burnt on the outside, the cheese was under melted. If I go here again, I will definitely look for a lunch option, ideally something fresh doesn't require a lot of cooking or oil read more

Love this diner style breakfast/brunch spot in St. Clair Shores. Great menu with lots of variety. The experienced servers keep this place running like a well oiled machine & the kitchen keeps up with demand. Even when there's a line, they plow through it with a smile & without making you feel rushed. I love the Oops Mistake omelette or bowl and the Super Hippie bowl, but there are so many great things to try....when I'm feeling super gluttonous, I splurge on the loaded stuffed french toast. Parking is tight here, so if you can ride share during peak breakfast hours, it's a good idea. Love the OG servers; Jenny, Heather, and Angie. They are the heart of this great little spot & keep people coming back for the smiles & delicious food read more

Overall a very positive experience. The space is small, and interestingly they don't manage seating themselves. I don't think I've been to a restaurant in Southeast Michigan that had a seat yourself arrangement in probably 20 years, but that's what they do here. Lots of interesting choices on the menu. A few that I think I'll have to come back to try on another occasion. For this visit I tried the ham and Swiss on croissant. The ham was delicious and the cheese was melted and gooey. It was absolutely delicious. I drink decaffeinated coffee, and I was delighted when the server informed me that they were making a fresh pot so that I could have some more. Very nice touch. Prices are reasonable and the portions on other people's plates looked very generous. I will definitely be back. read more

Fantastic old school diner! I loved everything about my experience at The Yolk. I visited last Saturday close to closing time. I imagine that it would've been much more crowded had I stopped earlier. I was seated and waited on right away. It was my first visit there so I carefully perused the menu. I found lots of tempting options, such as build-your-own omelets, pancakes and French toast, but I decided on items that were already curated. I ordered the fresh strawberry French toast, and a spinach, mushroom, Swiss cheese omelet. I added bacon inside instead of having strips of bacon. Both were equally delish and made me want more. The cook did his thing with both items. Also, they were plated cleanly and were appetizing to look at. I was impressed with the amount of fruit for my meal. It was enough to serve as a righteous meal on its own. The waitress was attentive and pleasant. I really appreciated the cup of iced tea to go. I remarked to the waitress that I hadn't been offered a drink to-go since I left the South. read more

Cool little spot, first time in, seat yourself. Service was prompt and attentive. Food arrived quickly. Well prepared, decent portion sizes But not overkill. Also very clean. My wife and I had breakfast and coffee + 20% gratuity and walked out at 35$. places in Mt Clemens you can't get out the door for barely under 50$. Check this place out. read more

Great spot for some fast, hot and delicious food. We were in a hurry for a flight and we were starving too. Despite the packed house we found a place at the bar and were quickly greeted. Our drinks (tea & OJ) arrived quickly and the nice gal took our order. For some reason my little brother got oatmeal. He raved about it, while I tried to eat a Corned beef stuffed omelet. My breakfast was large. An omelet with corned beef was interesting to me. It did not disappoint. It was really good. Just like the service. We were in and out in good time and didn't have to settle for a fast food breakfast. I thank he good folks at at The Yolk for that and If I ever get back here I will stop in again without hesitation. Do not let the absolutely packed parking lot fool you. These folks do food fast and good. read more

Let me start with the service...top notch! She was very attentive and helpful to any questions or concerns I might, just amazing. The food...yes sir and ma'am...highly recommended 10.5 out of 10, just delicious! The ambience is a small diner feel and comfortable but the foodis definitely a yes read more

We had four adults and two toddlers, and the staff couldn't have been sweeter or more accommodating. My son-in-law got the breakfast bowl and loved it, my husband had the all-meat omelet and (shockingly ) didn't complain once -- said it was awesome! We also shared the chicken pita wrap, the buttermilk chicken sandwich, and the Reuben -- every single thing was delicious. And the portions? Huge! Way bigger than what most places serve these days. Service was top-notch, food was fantastic, and even our picky eaters were happy. We'll definitely be back! read more

It wasn't bad, I just don't like that coneys now slap brunch on their names and then call themselves a brunch spot. When there is nothing that makes them a brunch spot the food was okay and the service was great. I was just disappointed because I expected actual brunch with alcohol etc. the ambiance is very small. read more

Solid breakfast, friendly service, great food, and no pretentiousness! Looking forward to next time!

Food was good...came out very quickly. Service was also solid. The reason for the low rating is because I was not told about the extra egg charge when I ordered my entree. The response from the waitress: "that's why it's written on the sign, so you see it when you enter the restaurant." It's not the amount of the extra charge, but the principle of no one telling me. Where I was seated, there was a partial wall blocking my view and I did not think I had to look at the wall in the kitchen when I entered the establishment. This is something that should be told to everyone by the waitstaff or have something posted at every table. The photo is of where I was seated and where the sign is posted on the restaurant. read more

Thought I would try this place for breakfast with my husband. The name/sign outside had recently changed. I ordered the Big House Breakfast. It was only $1 mire than the similar one but had 3 not 2 eggs and all the meats: ham, bacon, sausage. That's what sold me, all the meats, only because I can never decide which one I want...not that I could possibly eat that much. My husband was hoping for a warm cinnamon roll, but nothing like that on the menu. So he opted for the plain waffle, " classic waffle" $7 and a coffee. When the coffee came, the waitress apologized for no cream, but she could offer milk. How does a restaurant that serves breakfast not have cream to serve with coffee. After a few minutes, she served me my big breakfast, but apologized my rye toast wasn't ready. Several minutes later, she brought my husband's waffle. More time passes, and finally my rye toast arrived. I'm very perplexed at the order food was served and the time intervals between the food arriving. The waffle was underwhelming. Parts were soggy and it was overpriced. The Big House breakfast is huge! Definitely a good price for the quantity. Sadly, the ham slices were really thin, and very dry. The 2 pieces of bacon were crispy but cold. The 2 sausage links good. I ordered the hash browns well down...but they weren't. So, if your hungry for breakfast and aren't looking for great, I'd recommend the house big breakfast. Not certain if the waitstaff was new, and that's why they served things as they came up. No idea why rye toast would take the longest to be served. read more

Decided to try something new. My partner ordered eggs over medium ,well done hash browns: Eggs were a short over easy and whites were runny, potatoes were not crispy at all and super soft inside, The bacon chewy like Jerky. I had the French toast: probably the best I have ever had but... it came out over 10 minutes after the egg order. There was only one other table with one person at it who was already eating. No Togo's being prepared either. Cute inside just the kitchen did not cook food correctly and the wait was terrible considering ours was the only order placed! Coffee was great. Prob not return. read more

The Yolk is a quaint little diner with pretty good food. It's a smaller place, but that makes a great spot for a quiet meal and casual conversation. It is mostly breakfast items, which are delicious, and they have some pretty good dessert options. Their service is always good; you don't have to wait too long, just enough time to chat and have some coffee before food. All in all, it's a nice spot for a quality meal at a good price. read more

I've been here many times for breakfast. The food is delicious, the service very accommodating. I've tried most of the breakfast menu and I'm particularly blown away by the potato plates. Portions are generous--you're going to get a mound of french fries with your sandwich. My wife raves about their cheeseburger. read more

We tried the yolk on a Friday morning. It's kind of a no frills place, the decor is a standard diner style. We were able to seat ourselves which I appreciated. They also brought us some crayons and a activity sheet for my son to do. The menu had some really interesting items, especially the pancakes. We ordered the fruit & berry waffle for my son, and the Denver omelet for me with rye toast. The food came out pretty quickly, which was nice. My omelet was very good. The veggies were nice and flavorful and there was a good amount of cheese. The hash browns were super unique. They were more like shaved pieces of potato vs your standard hash brown. I thought they were great. My sons waffle was also good. It had plenty of fruit on it, which was nice. He really enjoyed it. My only complaint is that a lot of the blueberries had their stems on them so we had to take the off. The service was good, the waitress was attentive and kept my water glass full without being overly attentive. Overall, a good experience and we'll be back. read more

just didn't have a good vibe. meat on the turkey burger wasn't nearly as big as the bun. it was all bread and lettuce. waitress took my girl and mine drink order and walked away before I could order a drink for my son. brought the check before we were even done eating or asked about it. read more

So delicious. The girls are a treat as well. Always friendly and delightful Nice start to my morning

I ordered the biscuits and gravy and my mom got an omelette. To sum up, this place's food tasted like they didn't know seasonings exist.

Nice little place! It's just another breakfast and lunch place. Nothing spectacular, but it's good. I had a the spinach/mushroom/cheese omelette with hash browns and toast. All cooked just fine! The hash browns were definitely crunchy...I like them that way but someone else might view them as overdone...so make sure you keep that in mind. My friend had the French toast. Very tasty. The bread that came with my omelette was delicious. It's as if it's bakery bread...not just from a loaf of stands bread. Nice! Coffee was hot and it kept coming.

Super friendly service and yummy food! Server came over right away. Food didn't take long and portion sizes are amazing.

Great food, great location and great service. We love Jenny and Lori! Great ambiance.

The food was FANTASTIC! It was fresh and homemade! Waitress was EXCELLENT! She didn't hassle us about taking 30 minutes to decide what we wanted (the menu is EXTENSIVE) The place is small and gives a homely feel. We will definitely be back!! read more

Previously called The Grubhouse Restaurant. The waitstaff was incredibly friendly and attentive. Two people were walking around asking if you needed anything, filling up your water or coffee and cleaning up. Unfortunately, it seemed like the cooks either had the grill too hot or weren't paying attention to the food. Our hash browns were extremely burnt. I ordered over easy eggs and the yolk was hard. The skillet isn't a traditional skillet in a skillet pan. It's hash browns on a plate with all of your toppings. Overall, the staff is great, so just be prepared to ask for your food a specific way and if you're craving a skillet then go somewhere else. read more

First time here, and pleased with the portion of my Breakfast Sandwich. It was $9 and that was a bit off-putting. Then I realized that I haven't been in a restaurant since mid-2019! The sandwich was a one-of-a-kind, as I've not seen these ingredients put together this way, anywhere else. One very nice feature was when I got the bill and The Yolk offered a discount on the bill for cash payments. That made me smile. read more
