ordered my food to go at the bar. The bartender was a doll. Honestly, I didn't properly review the menu before ordering so I had to call my guest a few times to get the complete order but she was so patient, I wish I had gotten her name. I ordered shrimp and grits for myself and the crawfish omelette for my mom. I also got an iced caramel macchiato. I was shocked at how good my macchiato was because im usually skeptical about ordering specialty coffee from restaurants. I felt the prices for fair for the quality of food and the amount you get. No real complains. I would definitely return.

This is one of my favorite breakfast places. The servers are friendly, the restaurant is clean, and everything is nice overall. My go to's are always the Eggs Benedict and the Shrimp and Grits. Those two are always my must have's whenever I stop by Toasted Yolk. For the Eggs Benedict, I usually get the Classic Arnold with the hash brown casserole. The poached eggs are always perfectly cooked, and the hollandaise and the hash brown casserole are perfectly seasoned. The Shrimp and Grits is also super good. It's very flavorful without being salty and overall really good. I also really love their French Toasts and their Caramel Macchiato.

Came to my hometown from Cali and this was our first breakfast spot we went, to catch up with my family. There was a wait for a table so we decided to sit at the bar. The bartender was named Victoria (blue hair) she was the most rudest hostile bartender/server we have ever had. My partner nicely mentioned to her that we were ready to order whenever she got a chance, and the way this girl snapped!!! She very rudely stated, "Yeah!!! I'm busy and when I'm not I'll help you" so we waited and when she finally took the order, I asked for a club sandwich and a side salad. She asked me repeatedly which sandwich because there was two on the menu, I repeated the name and pointed at the club sandwich again. She said,"Not the club sandwich! you mean the classic" while rolling her eyes. I then let her know that nowhere on the menu does it say that, and that this was my first time here, I wouldn't know if it's a classic, considering it's not stated anywhere. I was just reading her what it said on the menu and pointing to it. Then she tells us she was unable to put a side salad in and a club sandwich on the register. Which really meant she just didn't want to apply any effort into putting in an order. The items I ordered were clearly both on the menu, so I asked her if there was someone she can ask, and she again very rudely said, "Ugh, yeah I guess I can tell the manager if I have to". Isn't that her job? and if you don't know how to do your job then maybe you should be trained or ask a manager without being mad that you have to. Finally, the manager came and put in my order as requested, and every time Victoria walked by, it was just a big cloud of hostility. My family and I felt very uncomfortable so we asked to be sat at the table, and closed our check. On the other hand the food was very good and our service at the table with the other employees was pleasant, despite our horrible experience at the bar. I'm in the industry, I know how stressful it can be especially when you're busy, but you always need to maintain your kindness and if you are incapable of serving and being polite you need a new job. The sad thing was she wasn't even busy, there was 2 people at the bar besides us. I would give her 0 stars, by far the worst experience I have ever had. Unfortunately we won't be coming back. If only the service was as good as the food.

Ran in this morning to grab some hashbrown casserole after I heard how amazing it was. The hasbrown casserole is hands down the best hashbrown casserole I have ever tasted. I have not dined in or tried anything else on the menu however, since I work so close I can see myself getting a portion of this casserole weekly! I appreciate how quick and efficient the take out order came out. I will definitely be back!

Came to try this place because my friend told me it was yummy. And it was! I try the Ruben with tomato basil soup. Food was delicious and my server was sweet. The only reason that I'm leaving a 4 star is because when I walked in, and sit down and I had to wait for a server to finally come and acknowledge that I was there for like 15 minutes. 3 different servers passed by me, and no one said anything, and also the Bartender saw me sitting on the booth, and did not even offer water or anything. Place was also not busy at all.

This was my first and last time trying this restaurant. I informed my waitress about things that I do not eat, prior to ordering so that there were no mistakes during my visit. Well she stills bring pork to the table and instead of remaking the plate, she tells me that I can pick the bacon out of the grits. Mind you it appears to be cooked throughout the grits; picking it out would have been very unsuccessful. In addition to that, I was overcharged for 2 pcs of toast. They comfortably charge me $10 for toast before discussing it with me. They were not accommodating, despite me being understanding to their negligence to my health and religion. I was 100% disappointed in this experience.

Breakfast here is just not good. I always get coffee with breakfast, but here it's so gross. I need to fill half of my mug with creamer because the coffee is SO STRONG. It's like they're using espresso as normal coffee! Also, their pancakes are horrendous. They completely fall apart and are super mushy. They definitely need a new recipe because I had them twice and they were the same each time. The service is good, but their food is lacking.

Started with the Chicken Beignets, (absolute 10/10, seasoned PERFECTLY!) The Mrs. had The Alaskan Arnold, & I had the Southern Fried Arnold, BOTH WERE AMAZING!! The drinks also were very good as I had 2 Jackies Morning Ritas, Wifey had famous Strawberry Orange Mimosa, and the Toasted Yolk Coffee, both she says were great, but The Toasted Yolk she says just HIT DIFFERENT ? ! The Morning Ritas were the perfect combo of tasting the juice w the alcohol, and the PUNCH!! Our Waitress was Ashley; very kind and attentive!This was our first time here and definitely will be back!Parking: About 40-50 parking spots.

Have been going to Toasted Yolk for a long time and have never had any issues. Managers are always very nice but at this location when we requested the manager, we were told he would come, but that he was busy at the moment. After a few minutes of waiting, we asked for the manager again and we saw when the person pointed to the manager to come to our table but he still didn't come. He was sitting at the bar with his computer. We then got up and left and he saw us walk out and didn't get up even then to talk to us. I don't think he deserves to be a manager. We were told his name was something like Rogue or Rowe. Will not be coming back to this location ever again. If I were the owner of this location, I would fire this manager immediately for letting a customer leave like that. My issue was that I wanted to order from the kids menu because I cannot eat a huge breakfast and have always done this at other toasted yolk locations without an issue. Here, the waitress said there would be an up charge of $5 if l did that. So then I decided to order another item from the adult menu and the plate comes with a biscuit. I asked to change the biscuit to toast and again she said there would be an up charge. I then said that I wanted just the oatmeal and she asked with what fruit. I said no fruit but it made me so upset that there is an up charge for everything but if I didn't want fruit there is no down charge. Like I said, manager never came to show his face and at least explain to us or listen to our concerns. Bad, bad service!!

Ordered the crawfish omelet and it seemed as if they didn't season the crawfish or omelet at all. It literally tasted like the ocean and not in a good way. The hollandaise sauce was phenomenal. My date ordered the shrimp and grits and they were extremely satisfied.

The hash browns were not good at all. The eggs were not good, and the sausage was not good. I will never go to this there again,and I'm telling anyone who ask don't go to that restaurant. The professionalism of service is great but the food no.
