The food itself was almost perfect. I got the shrimp Benedict which was awesome and a great portion, the side of fruit was lovely except the blueberries were at the bottom so they came squished. I also got their new winter berry spritz which was nice but it took about 15 minutes to get to me after my friends had already gotten all their drinks. Annoying, but it tasted good so that's what matters to me. The host was friendly and our server Amber was an absolute delight. She made us feel incredibly welcome and is hilarious, absolutely no complaints. The one thing that really got to me was when we had to ask for silverware set ups after our food was delivered (again annoying, but really not a huge issue), the black linen had SO much lint on it I did not want to use it and the silverware had water spots all over, was clearly not polished. Just that silverware made me want to write this review because I almost asked for new ones which I've never done before. Please train your staff to polish silverware and use clean linens. If they come back from the cleaners with that much lint, either use white linens or use a different cleaning company. Will probably be coming back because the food is amazing and the service was lovely, but I hope that next time the silverware roll ups are appropriate to hand out to guests. read more

The good is my food was good. Always get the chorizo and avocado omelette. So good with sour cream on it and the restaurants pepper sauce. English muffins are good but would be nice to have butter that isn't very hard/cold so you can spread it on an English muffin The disappointing part is I sat at the bar area and the server didn't come by to check on me. I was going to place a to go order also but it took so long to be checked on and actually get my check. Lots of staff standing around the hostess stand talking with each other and saw me looking around for my server. read more

Of course, this wasn't my first time here but I did try some new things off of their seasonal menu. For our drink we decided to try a picture of the apple pie mimosa. It was a tangy but sweet drink that we finished with our meals. I ordered the Apple Crunch French Toast and my bf ordered the Abe Hot Chicken and Biscuits. Both meals were delicious but the French toast was amazing! I'm currently trying to find a recipe to replicate it. Everything complemented each other so well. My server was very helpful and sweet. I was brought out the wrong meal and she made sure that I was brought the correct one and that we were well taken care of. It surprisingly wasn't that busy when we went but it's usually flowing with people. It was perfect for a brunch date. Will return! read more

First time here and did not disappoint! Brunch was absolutely delicious! Very clean and our server Kate was so sweet. We had Abe Cyclone's to drink and I had the lobster and Brie omelette and my friend had the apple fritter French toast. Both cooked to perfection and are highly recommended.

Another Broken Egg is a place I constantly forget about because I just don't see them often anymore. I was in the area and decided to stop by for pancakes and their lunch duo with fried chicken salad and jambalaya. The pancakes were good, fried chicken salad was nothing special, jambalaya was a pool of oil (the oil was covered by the egg). My server Stacy was sweet, however, she was inattentive, made no table touches, was more concerned about if she was closing today. My issue could have been resolved long before it was if she had checked in. There were tables and floors that needed attention. A server almost slipped on a butter packet that was dropped by a previous server who just left it. Salt and pepper grinders need to be wiped. The server waiting tables directly across from me (black young lady with a long braided ponytail) was great though. I witnessed her constantly check in with her tables, she was personable, smiling, quick on her feet. A couple of people who she checked out complimented her service as well. Should you go here? Maybe. Everyone else appeared to enjoy their visits. read more

The food was delicious. I had steak in potatoes. That was very nice on the pallet. The s'more mimosas were top tier for the season. I went in January and I'm just now dropping the. Review, but it's okay. The service was amazing. My server was very attentive and very knowledgeable of the menu, and she pointed me in the right direction on where and what I should eat to complimented my s'more mimosa. The ambiance was nice with a soft texture, the lighting was just right. That you can have a great conversation or cuddle app with a book. read more

Another Broken Egg Cafe - For French toast with side of fruits and grits - there two sides were substitutes to meat options - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Mountain Brook, Alabama

Our server today was Alex. He was very attentive and also suggested entrées to us. My brunch date had never been here before, but he was very impressed with the shrimp and grits. He got a bloody Mary that he really liked I got an apple mimosa that was delicious. I got the eggs Benedict. Not sure if I would get them again. The ham was very thick but other than that, it was delicious. The breakfast potatoes were a little dry, but I got a ranch on the side. I've been coming here for years and I've never had a bad experience. It's kind of hidden and if you're not familiar with it, you probably would never go. But I encourage you to try out this brunch place. It's so delicious. read more

Had an overall okay experience -- it wasn't great, but it wasn't terrible either. It was half empty when we went for brunch, but our waitress was awfully slow and we sat there waiting for a bit to order. She also wasn't friendly either. My water glass came with food stains so I asked for a new water, but the waitress didn't take the old glass with the stain away. The food was alright -- the hash brown benedict was too salty, but I did appreciate how crispy it was. The poached eggs were very dense in texture and had no flavor. The side potatoes weren't even remotely warm, just cold. The soft shell scrambler was alright, nothing special. The apricot streusel pancakes were insanely sweet, and the eggs and sausage that came with it were also cold. Given our experience, we're not too inclined to come back. Maybe it was because it was a slower day that the quality of the food wasn't that great, but also it was a Friday afternoon. This place wasn't the worst, but I feel like there are better brunch places around. read more

Came by for brunch and the place had a really lively ambiance. It was quite busy, but the service was still good and our server was attentive. As for the food, my main dish was very flavorful and cooked well. The side that it came with was a little plain, but everything else on the plate was really tasty. Overall it's a very solid spot for a weekend meal, and it was a positive experience. read more

I went on a Saturday morning when they first opened. It's a fantastic location; the staff offers excellent suggestions. The omelet is very light and delicious, and it is cooked fresh.

I ordered the Chicken biscuit sandwich with the egg over medium and the City grits on the side, All the food at the table was delicious, but the kicker to the whole meal is when our server brought out a little plate of fruit and cheese for the babies!

Today was a bit of an off day. Hubby ordered lobster has with hollandaise. The roasted tomato sauce was just okay. Really soupy and heavy mushroom in the hash. The potatoes were mushy.

Another Broken Egg Cafe - Carmel iced coffee. We ordered two. They were two different colors, but good. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Mountain Brook, Alabama

My most recent visit to Broken Egg definitely changed my view of it! I've always been more tough on brunch spots as they've tended to have identical menus to each other or didn't feel worth the money ordering things I could make at home, but the current seasonal menu is perfection!! The salted caramel cold brew will surely make any coffee lover happy- the salt rim is so so good with the sweet and smooth cold brew. The soft shell crab omelette (sans andouille) was very fresh and tender, not heavy at all even with the fried coating. The apricot streusel pancakes were the BIGGEST surprise to me. I am not one for sweeter breakfast options and almost always opt for or favor savory items, but these were too good. I couldn't stop eating them!! One thing though, @waiters/waitresses, we can see you clear as day laughing at and pointing at customers through the glass windows from the outdoor seating; not a good look. Very happy the two we saw doing this weren't our wait staff. read more

Great service, awesome food and nice atmosphere. This was my first time going and I'll be going again soon and often.

Sunday Brunch here was a quasi New Orleans experience!! Not only was there a broken egg, but the whole idea about omelettes was broken. Omelette taken to a new level! I ordered the Mardi Gras omelette, City Grits, and one pancake. They threw in everything except the Mardi Gras beads. Fluffy eggs, andouille sausage, ham, peppers, onions, tomatoes, and.... crab meat, and.... Shrimp!! The wait wasn't long. The server was amazing and attentive to our requests. Enough portion to have for Monday breakfast!! read more

I went to a brunch place in mountainbrook/homewood area called Another broken egg this past weekend. Usually at brunch places during the weekend it does get pretty busy and the wait to be seated it always long. I am glad that this place had an online waitlist where you could join it and just check in at the front and depending on the line you'll get seating. We waited about 15 minutes to get seated which was not too horrible for it being a Saturday and for it being valentines day. The waiter was quick and the staff was very nice and welcoming. There was a lot of room to sit, outside and inside and there was also a bar area where you could get served. Their menu was really big and had many drink options and they also had mocktails and cocktails you could choose from. We ordered and the waiter was very sweet and explained the menu to us. We waited around 10 minutes for our food but it came out pretty quickly. The food was fresh and hot and amazing. The whole restaurant was very clean and was just a good vibe overall. I would definitely go back again! read more

The host stand didn't do great with seating guests. We were quoted 30-45 min to start and ended up waiting another 30 minutes while they seated guests at tables that had just walked instead of pushing the available tables together. They do not have any non-dairy milk alternatives for coffee and the food was mediocre at best. We tried the location in Nashville earlier in the week which was amazing and gave us high expectations. Just a bit disappointed read more

I've come here before and it was never that bad, management needs to do better. read more

I love me a good brunch! and I must say Another Broken Egg is sooo tasty. But unfortunately, for my first visit to the Birmingham location I wasn't too pleased. I waited about 8 minutes before anyone showed up to the counter to seat me. 3-4 employees walked by me without saying anything. 1 employee did say "someone will be right with you." And they were about 3 minutes later. The Resturant was not busy at all. I arrived at around 1135 on a Monday, about 5 tables had customers. To include the high table bar area. 4 tables that I could count were dirty, food still on the table, and the floors were dirty. The staff had a friendly smile, maybe just short handed today, not sure. Now, I selected "maybe" as a recommendation solely on the fact that the food is good, and their Lemon Blueberry mimosa is absolutely delicious. So, if you're ok with an unnecessary wait, a few crumbs on the floor, a family environment, which means there will be children. I say yes! Check this place out. Your taste buds will thank you. AFTER RECEIVING MY MEAL: 1 star. My food was cold, as if it had been sitting. I waited 20 mins for my food. Received my food and my order was wrong. Spoke with management, and they took care of my bill. I noticed a few other customers that had issues today, and spoke with management. Thanks Management. read more

Another Broken Egg Cafe is one of my favorite brunch spots. I only come about four times a year, but they never disappoint. I have learned to use the waitlist feature to cut down on the wait time because they usually have a long time whenever I come. I ordered my usual, a smoked salmon benedict with an extra helping of smoked salmon and I like my poached eggs cooked for one minute longer than usual, just until the yolks are slightly jellied. I also had the breakfast potatoes and coffee. They have some of the best coffee not served in a coffee specialty shop. The waitress was nice and prompt and the atmosphere was great as usual, just normal brunch chatter. If you haven't checked it out, I highly recommend it. read more

Great place for your Sunday morning breakfast with the family. From many breakfast places, this location is more quiet which is nice. Often times we have to fight for seating or get on a long wait. The staff is friendly and they are very reasonably priced for their large menu. read more

Awful experience! So let me tell you what happened... My husband and daughter as well as myself came for brunch yesterday we called & was told there was a hour & a half wait so my daughter put us on the waitlist we arrived way before time & received a message asking if we were still interested in a table my daughter replied yes only to receive a message that out reservation was canceled thank God we were outside the building so we went in & was told they'd put us back on the list we informed them we had already waited over the time so she quickly apologized and said she'd get a table however the table was in the corner in the back of the restaurant by the window that housed every fly in mountain Brook our waitress even said I hate this table long story short they moved us only after we asked the food was horrible! I had the chicken sandwich which looked like I was given the remnants of the tenders no hold pieces the bacon was left off no ranch with very ripe avocados and lettuce once my husband's order was corrected (another long story) his pancakes were warm & dry our daughter had the Madi gras omelette and she said it was aight! Overall not worth the wait the waitress seemed annoyed & the food didn't smack worth a damn! I won't be back!! read more

Disappointed by this place. Over easy eggs were oily/soggy. Apple fritter pancakes had a strange aftertaste, and the smoked salmon Benedict was probably the worst Benedict I've ever had (cold, way too salty, no Hollandaise).

This is a cute little restaurant in Mountain Brook that serves breakfast. I believe they only serve breakfast options which is why I was a little disappointed when the food tasted subpar. I ordered pancakes with a side of eggs, bacon, and grits. My favorite part of the meal were the grits because the bacon was too crunchy and the pancakes were bland, over cooked, and too doughy. (This could be someone's taste but it's not mine.) The sweet tea here is delicious though. Service was good but you may have to wait to be seated if you go on a weekend. read more

Stopped in an hour until they closed to a very disappointing experience. The staff was less than enthused to deal with an end of shift customer. The quality of the beverages was poor. Servings of soured OJ was the first indication of what was to come. I ordered immediately so not to delay the staff from closing on time. The eggs Benedict that were served were completely raw with translucent whites pooling into the plate. Brought it to the attention of the staff to only be told "I'm sorry ". Didn't even offer to remove the eggs from the bill when it wasn't edible nor consumed. The manager on duty wasn't informed while I was still on premises. Don't waste your time on this restaurant unless you come early and be prepared for being aware of the hazardous food conditions with uncooked eggs and other food safety Dangerous behavior read more
