Service is very slow. As many people have attested the servers don’t seem to have a clue on what’s going on around them. You will have multiple servers try to bring you someone else’s food and act like you’re the crazy one. Food is hit and miss, some items are great, but most is bland, cold and out of a can. Always busy, but even when it’s not you’ll still have to wait a long time. I’ve been to other Broken Yolk locations and they are much better. Shame, because this one had potential and is in a great location. But mediocre food and horrible service have caused it to accumulate one star reviews very quickly.

Great place for a brunch! We ate on the patio on a beautiful sunny, cooler day but they had plenty of heat sources to make eating alfresco a perfect experience. We were impressed with the numerous selections on the menu and we were not disappointed. Recommend the Tiki Toast (which was delicious and not too sweet) and the Pomegranate Mimosa. Looking forward to going back :)

Great food and the portions are big. Try their amazing plate size
We gave this place a try today at about 11:30am. The patio is nice, but hadn't been cleaned up in a while (food and trash on the ground and multiple tables. There was a part to the patio heater leaned up against our table ( it was removed, as we were seated). Drinks took about 20-25 minutes to get to our table after our order was taken. My eggs were served with a huge hair on top, what no one checks the food before it comes out...? The replacement eggs were very runny and undercooked with clear whites mixed with the yolk (raw). Bacon was also very undercooked, even though, I asked for crispy bacon. Our waitress (as a matter of fact, all of the staff) was rude and not attentive. They didn't serve anything to the individual people at our table... They would just set it on the end of the table or hand it to the person at the head of the table and say pass it down. What...? Wait a minute.., I don't work here! Drinks (after asking multiple times over 20-25 minutes, after our orders were taken), food (hair and all), silverware/napkins (which we had to ask for 2x after half of our food was dropped on the table), to go box, literally everything that came out was piled at the end of the table or handed to one of us to distribute to our family. My wife did ask to speak with the manager, surely this was not how things should be done at The Broken Yolk, right? The "manager," seemingly not much of a leader, definitely didn't seem very concerned. After literally the worst service ever and half of my meal being inedible (after 2 attempts) the "manager" took $9.11 off of our $90+ tab with a very unconvincing/flippant apology. Our previous experiences at The Broken Yolk were mediocre, at best, but this was unacceptable. Definitely done with this place. I'm sorry, but you can't do it all wrong with little to no apology and expect return business... We will stick to the Old River Grill, where they have great service, good food and almost everyone who works there is smiley and polite.

I have been coming here since they opened. The service has always been great, with minimal wait times. Their eggs Benedict's are one of the best I've had.

As a regular customer, I consistently notice something wrong with my food. I do genuinely enjoy coming here as I think the food tastes great. Although, earlier today we found hair embedded in the scrambled eggs. In my previous visit, the avocados were near black. Most of the time the service is phenomenal, there are times where service can be very slow and takes a while for drinks to be offered and/or is not very tentative. My family and I do enjoy coming here as mentioned before the food is great and so are the prices, but there are some downsides.
The food and drinks taste great. There's a great kids menu too. Alcoholic beverages taste great. If you order take out, check your order before leaving because they forget some things sometimes.
Great breakfast, large servings. Only complaint is prices higher than others.

Haven't tried this place in a long time so we decided to give it a try again seeing as we never had any issues before. We went in and were immediately seated which was great. We ordered drinks and food and that's when we started to notice that our server (Berenice) wasn't really paying attention to us or would try to get away from us asap which we found odd. Once our food came out it looked delicious but once we looked at it closer, two of our 4 dishes had a hair on them. After that it was extremely difficult to get the attention of our waiter and she ended up only coming to our table about 3/4 times during the whole time we were there yet she was going to all her other tables multiple times and even making small talk. We were a party of 3 and one of the dishes made two of us sick so we didn't even eat half of it, the other one was alright it didn't have much flavor and the other dish was good. Overall, not a great experience whatsoever and we won't be coming back here anymore. This place has definitely changed over time and it's not good anymore.

I am a repeat customer. This time I met friends for a meeting. I enjoyed the churro waffle. I am also a big fan of the Nutella crepe. They have great acai bowls and wraps. Coffee is good and the mimosas are even better. ?
