Another Broken Egg Cafe

We got seated on the outdoor patio but decided to go inside after we placed our order as it was too hot and dust was being kicked up towards us from big trucks passing by on the road before us. Our waitress asked the manager to move us inside but to allow her to keep us as her table. The manager refused, which was odd considering our waitress was serving the table right next to us inside. Some uncomfortable politicking going on there.
Our new waitress brings out 3 of the 4 meals we ordered saying the 4^th will be out soon. 15 minutes later, my daughter’s meal arrives. I dig in to my Bokeyzo omelet to find they have completely left the cream cheese out which leaves the omelet bone dry and completely unpalatable. I tell our waitress who says «I got you», but I wait over 20 minutes for the replacement which never comes. They say it’s coming out soon, or they can box it up to go which I decline since I’ve already picked off my family’s meals as I was starved waiting.
Just an overall unpleasant, weird vibe. Absolutely will not return with so many better options in the area. It’s too bad as I generally am very happy at the other ABE locations. If the GM is reading this, I hope you get out to this location and clean it up. It’s a shame to see this at a generally good franchise.

My bf and I make it a point to find different breakfast locations that offer more than your typical bacon, eggs and toast menu. I stumbled upon this place via instagram. I was very impressed with the food! The biscuits beignets are a must! Their eggs were fluffy and their bacon was crisp! I tried their chobani tuile which was very light and refreshing. The service could have been better but it was a holiday weekend and you could tell they were a bit understaffed. Completely understandable due to the holiday — I would highly recommend this place.

Yesterday, Memorial Day, my husband and I were up early. We wanted breakfast since we had the day off. Well, it’s not easy to find a place open early for breakfast on a Monday. I first thought of Café Monte. Closed. The Original Pancake House down in Southpark is open, but then my husband reminded me of Another Broken Egg. Sold!
I really like this place. I find it to be consistent which is a big plus. Parking can be challenging on the weekend but it wasn’t yesterday. It’s over in the same center as the Earthfare.
Right now, when you check in on Unilocal,you also get a free half order of their biscuit beignets which are really the best, especially dipped in the orange marmalade they serve alongside them. Must get these!
They got your standard ‘build your own breakfast’ sort of things like eggs, toast, potatoes, etc. Then many Omelettes to choose from as well as sweet options like sweet potato pancakes with cinnamon syrup. Make sure to ask for the REAL syrup because they have it.
I think it’s open everyday and early. Just know there will be a wait during the weekend breakfast hours.
Check out their cool, custom made mugs when you are there enjoying your coffee or tea!

I used to work downtown and now work in the South Park area. There are a couple cafes in the area but none that are really memorable. ABE I found by accident doing a Google search. I absolutely love this place. The breakfast is priced just right and tastes homemade. The bacon is crispy, their scrambled eggs taste extremely fresh and their potatoes are large and in charge. Zero complaints and have been back 3x this week.

Maybe I visit at just the right time, but I never seem to experience the extended wait times that others have mentioned. I should add that I have only frequented Another Broken Egg during the weekend brunch hours, so that may be key. The food is good. Sometimes (not always) GREAT, but always good. The consistency is a bit lacking. I often order the exact same thing the exact same way and the preparation can still vary quite a bit from visit to visit. Like I said though, it’s always good.

LOVE this place!!! Amazing iced coffee! I had the blueberry pancakes and eggs and my friend had the biscuits and gravy, both were beyond delicious! We will def be back and will def recommend to everyone!

This place gave my son and me the best service of our life! It was his 21^st birthday and was busy later that day so it was his only birthday celebration. The staff was incredibly friendly and gave him a celebration to remember

The food was so good I forgot to take the picture before I dug in! This place has multiple locations in the US but maintained that home feel! Each item on the menu is unique and designed for all kinds of preferences vegan and meat lover combined! I had the Baquezo Omelet with City Grits and it was FANTASTIC. the grits were so creamy and and the chorizo in my omelet had a nice subtle kick. My Mom had the Southern Crabstack and she could not put her fork down. Excellent suggestions from our waitress.

Cute atmosphere but overpriced crappy food and terrible service. Wasn’t even that busy.

The food was good, however the service on Sunday around noon was very inefficient. Make sure to call ahead at least two hours in advance. The restaurant was understaffed and servers were not proactive. There was wifi though.

I really want to like this place. Their menu selection, at face value, is great for breakfast/​brunch and the service we had at our most recent visit here was amazing as well. It’s just the food itself tastes like it is missing something. I’ve been to their location in Raleigh and most recently gave it another shot in Charlotte as well. Speaking to the food, both times, it was just so blah. I had the biscuits and gravy along with the Supreme skillet. The biscuits themselves were fairly ok but the gravy was a little on the runny side. Some people may like that but I’m more of a «spoon stands straight up in it» gravy kinda guy. The Supreme skillet I got had sausage, bacon, mushrooms, onions, cheese and eggs but everything seemed a little dried out. Beyond the lack of moisture it tasted just sort of bland. Not sure if one ingredient was lacking or several but it just didn’t do it for me. On a high note though, I do have to give props for their biscuit beignets. Those sugar and honey covered little devils were amazing.

I’m a little torn on this review. I really wanted to like ABE and had high hopes when entering the building for a memorable breakfast.
Instead I stood by the «Please Wait, We will seat you!» sign for 5 minutes prior to anyone approaching us. The person who finally spoke to us was a server who then went to clean a dirty table to seat us even though 95% of the restaurant was empty and clean. My group of 4 sat down and placed our drink order with our server. He brings me my coffee in a styrofoam to go cup and tells me that they are out of clean coffee cups. When the restaurant almost empty I doubt that was the case.
I ordered the Sausage and Gravy biscuits. The gravy was delicious and the portion was pretty large. The sausage patties were strange, very sweet and off putting flavor. Another guest at the table had a burger and they cooked it to order which gave them brownie points in my book!
Overall I was disappointed but will probably try again. Maybe they just had an off day! Everyone deserves a second chance!

Poached egg still had clear juice running out of it from an eggs Benedict. Asked for mustard and they brought me Dijon that was expired and asked for regular mustard and it was brick hard in the packets. No thanks!

I should’ve listened to what others were saying in the reviews. They were literally SPOT ON! We came here being optimistic of a shorter line than other well known breakfast spots on the morning of New Years Day. We were optimistic because we had just visited two other places that we knew had amazing food, but left due to 60+ min waits. We then called Broken Egg and asked about a reservation over the phone but were told it wasn’t offered. But they did promise us a 20 minute wait so we headed on over. After arrival we waited for about 35 minutes outdoors after putting our names on the list… And then we stepped inside, and despite asking about our promised seating time multiple times, we had to wait for an additional 20 minutes. As another reviewer noted, we saw very slow turnaround of tables while waiting after customers left. Tables were left dirty for a while before anyone came to clean or in some cases there were just empty tables and people just weren’t being seated at them. If it wasn’t for having a party of 7, we would’ve definitely made it a point to request an empty table that we were looking at. Well at long last after being seated, you would hope the food was worth it. In our case, it sadly was not I wanted to like the food, but the cinnamon bun pancakes I ordered just weren’t good. The way everything was thrown together somehow kept the flavors from working as the menu would have you think it would. My homefries were great however, there’s no denything that. Another sore, spot was that my wife’s food (waffle sliders) was served cold to the touch. Like refridgerator cold. It was sad because you could imagine how hungry we were after the wait. Instead of asking them to heat the food back up, she simply asked for some warm syrup. The waitress said ok, and then left never to be seen again. We asked a different waitress we caught walking by and asked her for the same thing. She said yes and also was not seen for at least 10 minutes. When she did come back, it was without the syrup. Very frustrating. My wife ended up pickng over her cold food but we chose to get something else to eat after leaving. I would not recommend coming here to anyone curious. Not only was the customer service among some of the worse I’ve experienced, but the food was not worth it even if there was no wait. There are much better options close by

The ABE in Ballantyne is my hangout; I was up in the South Park area one day, and needed a place to park myself for 2 hours in the morning. Having a point of reference to compare to, I can say the food was pretty much the same, but the service was not nearly as good at this location as the one in Ballantyne. It was clean and quiet, and in a nice location, so all in all, it’s pretty good.

Okay, Another Broken Egg Café, we’re done. It’s not me, it’s you. Really.
We’ve been a handful of times over the past couple of years since they opened. At first, it seemed like a great addition to our list of breakfast places. However, they’ve been going downhill for quite awhile now, and I say enough’s enough.
I’ve tried various breakfast menu items here, but nothing has ever wowed me. Breakfast is my favorite meal, and for nothing to wow me from a breakfast place with egg in their name is pretty sad. The Eggs Benedict is so-​so. The Black Bean Benedict is dry. The Andouille sausage is gristly. The crawfish too fishy and suspect. The omelets are just plain amateur-​looking. And the breakfast potatoes have never been anything but bland (no seasoning whatsoever) and overcooked.
This past weekend we went. We arrived and were, surprisingly, almost promptly seated. We just had to wait for the server to clean off her own table, which took longer than it should have. No bus boy? How about the lazy teenage boy walking around pretending to be a host occasionally? Or maybe the manager wandering around pretending to look busy, but never really doing anything?
It took us awhile to order and then even longer to get our meals. One of the kids ordered the Cajun Crawfish Skillet, and he even pointed to it on the «special» menu so our server could see what he wanted. After about 20 minutes, another server came by (not too happy) because apparently the kitchen had asked her (instead of our own server) to ask what kind of potato skillet he wanted. He was confused (as we were) as the miscellaneous server rattled off some options. He picked some and she ran away. I then went to grab a menu from the host stand, because it all seemed odd. That’s when we realized that our server must have put in the build-​your-​own potato skillet into the machine instead of the Cajun Crawfish Skillet. But… wouldn’t the machine ask you for the items for the build-​your-​own potato skillet? Anyway, we chased down the 2^nd server and explained what must have happened. She said she’d advise the cooks. The food came out after much more waiting and our server said «The Cajun Skillet» as she placed the plate down. However, it wasn’t the Cajun skillet. It had the items that he had told the 2^nd server out of confusion. We brought this to our server’s attention a few minutes later and she said that he had only ordered the potato skillet, not the Cajun skillet? What? First, if he HAD ordered the build-​your-​own potato skillet, she never asked what he wanted in it. Second, when she delivered the plate, she specifically called it the Cajun one! She offered to have the kitchen make the correct one, but we didn’t have another 45 minutes to waste. We just asked her to make sure we weren’t charged for the higher-​priced one he DID originally order.
Yes, she brought us some complimentary beignets after we had waited there for over 30 minutes for our breakfast food. And they were good. But everything else was, as usual, bland. My Bacquezo omelette (one of the only things I’ve tried that has any resemblance of flavor) looked like a five-​year-​old made it. The accompanying potatoes were — as usual — bland, unseasoned, and dry. The English muffin was slightly warmed, but nowhere near toasted. When you’re charging a few dollars more per item than IHOP, don’t you think you should step up your game? And how sad is it when IHOP outdoes your breakfast options in both presentable and flavor, and comes out 10x quicker?
All in all, we were there for an hour and a half and had only a tolerable experience. So, yes. We’re over, Another Broken Egg Café.

I don’t often review unless I’ve been to a place multiple times, but this morning kinda made me feel like I need to say something. I’ll update the review when I go back.
So a lot of the reviews on this location are poor based on service, and I knew that going in (although they have the «People love us on Unilocal» sticker… I kinda walked in snarkily thinking «Are you sure they do? Really?»). I can’t say that I experienced any better service than the reviews on here.
Let’s cover the food first: The food is good. I’d love to be back and try other things on the menu. We ordered beignets and ‘monster’ cinnamon rolls to start, and both were great! Beignets were a little denser than I’m used to (they used funnel cake batter) and the cinnamon rolls were pretty good as well! For the main meal, I got their version of biscuits and gravy, with eggs, sausage, and hash browns. The biscuits were great, sausage was alright, potatoes were great. Server didn’t ask what style eggs I wanted (on the menu it says ‘any style’, and they came out scrambled, which i don’t like, so I didn’t try them.
The service was pretty dang bad. Our waitress didn’t really understand timeliness, nor communication, nor personal bubbles. Throughout the entire meal she was uncomfortably close and physical with multiple people in our party. Coffees took about 7 – 8 minutes to get out, an order of hot chocolate took about 15, our appetizers took about 20 minutes, and then our main courses probably took about 35 – 40 minutes. We were STARVING by the time our food came. The only update that we got was about 30 seconds before the food came out as well. When the bill came, one of our checks had a mystery «iced coffee» on it that we had to request removal as well. And our waitress’ response? «What in the what? That is SO strange!» … You’re the one who input it!!! Don’t act so surprised! Ugh.
Anyways, folks, I’ll be back because the food was definitely decent, but I hope next time the service picks up.

Another Broken Egg originally started out as as the Broken Egg Café in Mandeville, Louisiana back in 1996 and has grown steadily across the country ever since. We rarely pass up an opportunity to check out a new restaurant so we made our reservations and were on our way.
We started breakfast with the Baked Brie Delight with Apples, pecans & raisins sautéed in a Grand Marnier butter sauce over warm Brie cheese with toasted French bread. This was definitely the best part of our breakfast. The cheese was perfectly warm, soft. and gooey while the sautéed apples added the perfect amount of sweetness to balance the salty cheese. I usually see baked brie wrapped in puff pastry, but serving this dish with toasted bread added a crunch to the dish that really made it stand out.
Ella got the Belgian Waffle with strawberries and bananas with a side of eggs and bacon. The waffle was delicious, but I have not had many waffles that are not. The strawberries and bananas were fresh and added a touch of fruitiness to a sticky sweet dish. The part that really stood out was the bacon. It was nice and thick and full of flavor.
I decided to step way out of my comfort zone and get the Benedict Oscar with Grilled flat iron steak, two poached eggs topped with garlic sautéed crabmeat & asparagus with Béarnaise. I hate seafood… and I’m not very keen on asparagus, but despite those shortcomings I really enjoyed this plate. It did seem a little heavy for a breakfast plate but the flat iron steak and and sautéed crabmeat were absolutely delicious. The only thing I didn’t particularly enjoy were the side lack luster side of squishy potatoes.
Another Broken Egg is a tremendous step above the average breakfast restaurants. The food was incredibly fresh and the menu was diverse without being overbearing. Its not a good spot if you’re in a hurry but if you want to kick back and relax while eating something delicious first thing in the morning then Another Broken Egg is a good spot to check out.

We came here for Sunday brunch. There was a bit of a wait but it was a nice day so we were able to sit outside until our table was ready. The place was packed so we really had high hopes!
I’d been before and enjoyed my food but this time I thought everything was just okay. I ordered the Lobster and Brie omelet and we split a waffle with strawberries. I’d had the omelet before and really enjoyed it… but this time it wasn’t my favorite. Perhaps because it seemed like it had been sitting out for a while. Our waffle was burnt on one side and came topped with a pitiful one strawberry cut in small slivers… really? The same with the potatoes… just okay.
I left a bit bummed, but I’d be willing to give them another try but not go out of my way to suggest it as a «go-​to» brunch spot.

We decided to check out Another Broken Day Sunday afternoon, knowing there would probably be a wait. Upon arrival we were told 20 – 25 minutes which wasn’t bad, however, we spotted two open seats at the counter so we decided to go that route.
As we reviewed the menu, being first timers, we were greeted and placed our drink order. The bloody mary, my choice, had too much horseradish so I replaced mine with a mimosa, much better. After looking over the menu I chose a scrampler, with potatoes and an english muffin. The scrampler was okay, but the potates were very dry and bland. The service was hit or miss, as our waitress seemed to be working the counter, other tables and assisting in running food from the kitchen. So, water and coffee refills, requests for butter and jelly, etc. took a little while. Overall the food and service was just okay. Nothing to run back to in my mind.
