50 Best Breakfast Restaurants near Brookhaven

“I liked almost everything about Egg Harbor Cafe until I heard Stephanie who was there for 9 years had left the company. How do lose such an awesome employee like her? It's beyond my comprehension. Our DG Breakfast Group has moved to The Baked Apple Breakfast Co. Our group numbers 7! Big mistake!!!“

“10/10! Food and service is phenomenal! Literally no complaints! Try the egg rolls & the “one love” drink! 🔥🔥🔥“

“DELICIOUS!! When you order grits in a restaurant and they come out delicious—needing no salt, butter, or pepper—you know it’s a good place to eat!! All of our food was delicious. And the staff was sooo friendly! I wish I had taken a picture of our food but we scarfed it down! Definitely will eat here again!“

“chicken waffles were absolutely on point and the ABC hot sauce was 🔥, but what was even better...the service. best service I've had anywhere in easily 15 years (and I travel a lot). this is now my go to spot whenever I am in Atlanta.“

“Came in for a late breakfast and left full, happy, and with a great local rec for a Halloween parade. Folk Art keeps things simple and satisfying, with food that’s rich and filling without trying too hard.

I ordered the chorizo omelette and cheese grits. The omelette was solid—loaded with just the right amount of heat and not greasy. The grits were creamy and held their texture, not runny or bland like you sometimes get with sides.

What stood out just as much as the food was the service. Our server was quick, easy to talk to, and genuinely helpful. When we asked about local events, they casually mentioned the Halloween parade and gave us a heads up on timing and crowd size. That kind of local touch makes a spot feel like part of the neighborhood, not just another brunch stop.

The space has that lived-in charm—busy but not chaotic, and everyone around seemed to be enjoying their food. No long wait, which was a nice surprise on a weekend.

If you’re in the area and want a strong brunch option with real hospitality and comfort food that holds up, Folk Art delivers.“

“We celebrated my niece's 16th birthday and even though the food didn't come back quite like some wanted it, we definitely appreciated the server Jamani for assisting our server who seemed a little overwhelmed and the Manager Taylor was awesome! He was great with fixing the issues and making the situation better considering it was a birthday brunch celebration! He & Jamani even sang Happy Birthday with us to her! It ended up being a good time! Thank you guys so much!“

“I had the opportunity to visit 2 weeks ago and the atmosphere was great! The food was excellent. I ordered crab cakes and it was delicious! The manager made me feel special on my birthday. Thank you for delicious food, service and the wonderful experience.“

“*Photos coming soon* This was the best breakfast experience I have had in years! Let me be clear, i live for breakfast food and will seek it out at any meal of the day if the fancy strikes me. It was very busy being a Sunday in the late morning but our wait was short and ended up with seats at the bar. This turned out to be fantastic because the staff behind the counter/bar were great. To top it off the food was exceptional!

The food was fresh made to order and I have nothing but praise for it. The timeliness coming from the kitchen was on point. And to their credit, we ordered a lot of food for just two people. We made this an event and it was worth it. Bacon, pork belly, pancakes, stuffed French toast, eggs benedict, and some excellent beverages made for a great meal and tons of leftovers. Nothing was basic and each item had a unique and exceptionally complimenting twist to your basic idea of these staple breakfast dishes.

Service with a smile. The staff all had great attitudes even when the place was packed and nearing midday.

It seemed like the perfect balance of chaos and coordination inside. The only thing that looked remotely out of place was the congestion at the door where groups were waiting for tables to become available. I will note that people unwilling to sit at the counter as spots became available did wait for quite a while. We were leaving when a couple that was waiting before we even arrived was just being seated. Like I said, busy.

To wrap this place up, 10/10 highly recommend. If its a short drive for you then make it a point to try this place if you haven't. If it hours away? Plan accordingly to beat the rush. I promise you will not be dissapointed.“

“What a fantastic experience we had here. Brie our server was really fantastic and all of the food tasted delicious.“

“Unity Restaurant delivers an exceptional experience from start to finish. The food is outstanding—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. Every dish tastes thoughtfully crafted, with generous portions and seasoning that’s spot-on. You can tell real care goes into both the ingredients and presentation. The Salmon Croquettes, grits and biscuits was bussing fasho!“

“Food was ok, my potato’s were slightly hard/under cooked while other pieces were burnt. Everything else was really good. Service was meh, would prefer to go to another first watch instead of this one due to 20+ minute wait time on food, and the food was warm not hot. Overall 6.5/10.“

“CREW WAS SO NICE OMG!! Me and my friends came in pretty late after a football game. We were welcomed with warm smiles and nice greetings all around.

Everyone went so above and beyond I felt more than welcomed!!!!“

“Grabbing some breakfast for lunch on Wednesday since the Thanksgiving cooking had commenced. Diana was our waitress, and she was amazing. She was very attentive and helpful. My daughter had the chicken and waffles and I had the jumbo sampler with mostly bacon and smoked sausage. The food was hot and delicious. The wait was very shirt we got our food in 10 minutes. Service was great we will definitely come again.“

“I was here because so many of the local waffle houses have started pick up food at the window. This was a old-fashioned waffle House where you sat down and your food and enjoyed your breakfast. It was 5:00 a.m. and I was just getting off Uber. I wanted to have some breakfast before going home. I was very happy to find this place. I intend to boycott any waffle House that doesn't allow you to come in 24 hours a day 7 days a week. That's the waffle House I know.“

“The fluffiest, tasty, full filling omelet I ever had and I don’t like eggs!!!☺️😃😎coffe was great as well, I had two full cups!!!“

“I usually order (and highly recommend) the eggs Benedict, but decided to try the Route 66 and was very pleased! I ordered it with an over medium egg and English muffin and it was absolutely delicious. The portion size is great for the price as well!“

“I have only eaten breakfast here, but it is always good and inexpensive. This more of a grab your food to go spot. Get the breakfast potatoes and the fried green tomatoes. The country steak is extra crispy on the outside and moist on the inside.“

“Great breakfast! Will definitely try them again.“

“Coco Beans was lit 🔥 she gave us a morning vibe with her sister ✅💯“

“My family and I stopped by this location to have breakfast and everything was good. The staff was friendly, the food was good and hot and the vibe was hospitable. I would recommend this location if you are looking for a good breakfast spot.“

“Seriously the best cupcake I've had in San Antonio. It's not absurdly sweet and the flavor is strong and balanced. The frosting does not leave a film at the roof of the mouth like conventional cupcakes do. So worth it and great for those with dairy and egg allergies because it's vegan!“

“This was my first time trying First Watch and it was pretty busy for a Sunday afternoon (to be expected). We were advised the wait would be around 30 to 40 minutes, but sat down inside and only waited about 5 to 10 minutes before we were called to be seated.

Pictured below is the Bacado omelette with cheese grits and the Tri-fecta with cinnamon chip pancake and scrambled eggs.

We were not expecting for the pancake to be so big, but everything was delicious.

Highly worth a try if you've never been.“
