Went at opening time 8am. The grape leaves were spot on. The smoked salmon eggs Benedict were good, a bit under but salmon, tomato, and onion helped the dish, with hot, properly cooked potatoes to go along. Sergio was a very nice host, and whatever hiccups others may have had I'm sure he'll fix. Prices were reasonable and plenty of parking in back.

This place is such a unique gem, not to mention it being Latin owned which I love. The owner, staff & overall environment is so welcoming & comfortable. The food! Phenomenal & just a home cooked taste.

My husband showed me an ad for Surge from Step Out Buffalo. When I saw they had an Eggs Benedict flight, one of my favorite breakfast options, I knew we had to go! Upon arrival, the atmosphere was confusing- the decor gave it an upscale vibe, but there was Latin music playing. There was some sort of art exhibit/sale going on at the time too, which felt a little out of place.
The mimosa menu was extensive with at least a dozen different options. I decided to get the Caramel Apple, but definitely was interested in trying a second flavor later on. The menu has a lot of great options. It was difficult to choose between savory and sweet, but I knew I wanted the Eggs Benedict flight. I decided on the Deluxe, Lox, and Hash as my three. My husband ordered the Latin Skillet.
While we were dining, the restaurant got busier. At its busiest, there was about 6 or 7 tables full plus there were people coming in to pick up take-out orders. Our server, who I'm assuming was the owner, was the only one there. He struggled to manage the amount of customers he had on his own, often disappearing into the kitchen for 5 minutes at a time. He assured me three times that my mimosa was coming, but by the end of the meal, I still never received the mimosa I initially ordered and he had to take it off the bill. What a disappointment, especially because I likely would've ordered a second.
While I can sympathize with him being short staffed, the food did not make up for the poor service. The Eggs Benedict was probably the worst I've ever had. The English muffins were not toasted, the eggs were overdone and not runny, and the hollandaise sauce was very thick and salty. The home fries were cold and under seasoned. My husband's meal was a little better. The eggs with his skillet were also overcooked, but the chorizo was nicely seasoned. He upgraded his toast for pancakes, which turned out to be a mistake. The pancakes clearly had sat out long enough to cool allowing the moisture to set and making them dense, not light and fluffy.
Overall, not a good experience, especially considering the price ($55 for two entrees and a coffee). I would not come here again.

My husband and I took his parents to Surge to celebrate his birthday. Unfortunately no one enjoyed their food and it was quite a disappointment. All the meals were served luke warm. My mother and father in law ordered the eggs Benedict. All the eggs were either hard and overcooked or transluscent and undercooked. I ordered a savory crepe that was not good. The crepe was very sweet and thick like a pancake. The ends were crunchy and brown. The asparagus was overcooked and difficult to chew and the chicken was grizzly. My husband ordered the rueben which was just ok. We spent over $100 for a very unsatisfying meal. Our server was nice, but besides that we did not enjoy our experience and will not return.

It's a charming restaurant with great atmosphere. The menu is wonderful...from umpteen mimosa choices to the Benedict choices and everything else. I'd love to try the crepes. I just think drinks should be cold; not slightly cool AND hot foods should be hot; not lukewarm. Once they nail this, they'll be GREAT!!

I really enjoyed the food. The service was a bit awkward and the mimosa drinks are served in very small glasses. What is the most disappointing is the atmosphere. The carpets had several stains and the decorations look odd. I wouldn’t come here for drinks. But the eggs Benedict was delicious.
First of all I would like to say I discovered Surge Restaurant on Facebook. Everything on the menu looked and sounded amazing so I had to try the food. We went for breakfast and we weren’t disappointed. Our waitress was very friendly, coffee was great and plentiful and we got our food in about 15 minutes after ordering. My husband had the eggceptional omelette and I had the apple almond crepes. We both enjoyed our meals and prices were very reasonable. The only thing that I would suggest is maybe warming the apples that go in the crepes. They were served cold but the crepes were still delicious. Will definitely be back I would love to try lunch or dinner there.

Service was incredibly friendly if a little bit slow and frenetic if that bothers you-we had no plans and enjoyed not feeling rushed. Huge menu, accommodating of many dietetic wants/needs. Will definitely be back. Oh, and free parking lot in the back with back entrance!
