This place was great. I have heard many good things about this restaurant, but it's great to experience it. I could not have asked for better service. My food was delicious (I ordered chicken and waffles with a side of scrambled eggs). I would recommend this place to anyone for a good breakfast. read more

Although it was my first time remembering to check in, Ive eaten at ABE multiple times and it gets better each visit. To start the new year off, I enjoyed chicken and waffles and my fav; the city grits. the city grits were made with gouda , roasted garlic, bacon, tomatoes, and green onions. uber satisfying. of course no visit is complete without those delicious biscuit beignets and my, my, my! they were warm, moist, fluffy and delicious with just the right amount of sugar powder! top them with the orange marmalade and you're surely be satisfied! read more

Want to first start off by saying that the biscuit beignets with orange marmalade are to die for! Definitely worth a try if visiting this place. I place an online order, which was ready upon arrival. Even though I didn't dine in the atmosphere seemed very nice. I also had the French toast croissant and homemade sausage. The sausage wasn't my thing but, the French toast was delicious and generously sized. Staff was also pleasant read more

Out with my wife with no children (this time). Whew hoo!!!! Great service as usual. Coffee was great and service was awesome. They have new menu options not sure whether its seasonal or not, French theme though. Food came without a hitch, was fresh and hot. Definitely recommend this place. read more

The food was excellent!! I questioned how we paid $45 for a pitcher of bloody mary's, which the menu states is 4 glasses in a pitcher & we ended with 2 glasses. You can buy them for $11.50 a glass (same size glasses are used as with the pitcher). Then, our food took 2 hours to get to our table. What a coincidence?!?!? I've been here plenty of times & this time the service was terrible thanks to one waiter. One waiter can cause a business to lose customers. Thanks Matt! Look at the receipt that says 2 glasses. read more

The shrimp and grits were much better, fried potatoes were hard and tasted like frozen not fresh The to go order had so much plastic in utensils and condiments, all bad for our environment , these things affect our planet. How can we change this? read more

Great breakfast, great service and prices reasonable. I'm not a chicken and waffle person but hubby got it so I couldn't resist trying the chicken fingers and they were delic! I ended up eating two of them and put my sausage patties to the side ...lol! We will be back. read more

Had breakfast on a Thursday morning! I was alone and sat at the bar. The bartender/waiter was not very friendly. He didn't smile and seemed like he was having a bad day. He wasn't rude. He just wasn't very warm. The food was good. I had the Hey Lucy with chorizo, avocado and light on the cheese. The chorizo taste was amazing, it didn't have a lot of avocado which was disappointing. The dish comes with potatoes, if you are trying to be good, skip the potatoes. The portions are a good size. I like seating at the bar, normally is pretty relaxing but in this visit the people next to me where talking so loud. It just ruined the experience a bit. read more

I am a huge fan of Another Broken Egg Cafe. I have been to the one in Huntsville as well. One of my favorite items on the menu - Banana Foster French toast - never disappoints. In addition, you get to pick two eggs any way you like and a side of meat. The whole thing is delicious (pretty much dessert for breakfast). Their coffee is also strong - one of my fav things about a good wake up coffee. If it is a nice day, definitely check out the patio seating. It is nice and relaxing, and the servers don't forget about you just because you are outside. read more

June, late post. I had the lobster bisque and was so happy when I left the restaurant, I had a big smile.

The food was absolutely delicious And I loved the mimosas I was on a weekend relaxing to myself I looked up places to eat and found this one I will definitely be back read more

the food was good, but it took an hour to get in and 30 minutes to get our food. I would have been just as happy with the food or even happier if we had gone to the Waffle House drive thru. read more

Been here a couple of time , it was good , there were 4 of us and I think the prices are a little high for brunch. The food was ok, the oats was the best thing we had. Took a good while to get seated , then the service was just ok. Just wish they had more GF options. But all around it was a nice place and pretty good food. read more

I had an absolutely positive experience during busy Sunday brunch time here. I checked into line through yelp and was seated right away when I arrived to the restaurant. Gavin (I think?) waited on us and was so pleasant. He was doing absolutely everything in his power to offer great service. There were 2 other parties near us complaining about every little thing and having their food remade multiple times (while they went ahead and ate the food they complained about in the meantime) and the servers were bending over backwards to make everyone happy. I hate to see that, but the manager did her best to resolve the situation. Might I also add that we did not complain whatsoever about waiting on anything while the staff was tending to these other needy parties, and our bill was still discounted with an apology so we left a hefty tip to thank them. On to the food and drinks. Coffee was great quality, we really enjoyed it. Our food all came out hot, beautifully presented, and as we ordered it. I really enjoyed my power waffle. The house made sausage is DELICIOUS! I highly recommend it. The location is great and decor was cute. I did not know this was a part of a southern chain because everything felt authentic and local. They had many seasonal dishes special for st Patrick's day weekend. This staff deserves all 5 stars. All of our dishes were excellent. We will definitely be back!! read more

Another Broken Egg Cafe - Eggs Benedict - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Mountain Brook, Alabama

I would like to call this place a secret, but the crowds imply otherwise. Hospital night shift work downtown can be physically demanding. The frustration of finding a place at 8AM that one can restore caloric requirements while offering a spiritual oasis, can be even more challenging. Another Broken Egg is my getaway... Every dish is plated as if it were the product of something supernatural. The taste of it all corresponds to it's appearance in a positive linear fashion. It has been suggested that our expectations based on visual assessments of a dining establishment heavily effect our perception of food. The decor is pleasing and in no way distracting. In the morning, they grill a burger at my request without reservation. I find my self dispensing moderate amounts cash without any regret or hesitation. Breakfast of this quality simply cannot be found elsewhere in this area. I can argue that the clientele is distinctly mixed between the wealthy local community, the cubicle dwelling bougie middle class, and the undefined foodie community. Despite our social and political differences, we all stare at our plates asking "Did I really eat the bacon already?" read more

Meh. Let me start with $9.99 for two glasses of orange juice!!!! My eggs Benedict was okay...not impressed . I really wanted to be. Maybe I just compare all of my brunch restaurants to the Egg and I which is now gone ( Lort have mercy... * faints* * wig fall off* gather thoughts) I probably won't eat here again , it just wasn't memorable. I'll keep trying. read more

I came here excited and hungry (8 months pregnant) and was greeted with snooty hostess that rolled her eyes when I told her we didn't have a reservation but it was only two of us so it shouldn't have been that hard to find us a table right?? They said 30 minute wait, okay whatever that's fine. We give the phone number, I get the confirmation text, and then we proceed to wait 45 minutes at least with no text saying our table is ready. I finally go back to the text messages and click the link and it says we've been removed from the wait list. ??? We never got a text saying our table was ready! read more

Bottom line: not worth the prices. The portion sizes are pretty hefty - not "over the top" but definitely not small. It was just that the way the food was presented was nice, but the quality/taste was literally just alright. The description of the dishes were way better than the taste. I went with 4 other people, and we shared the beignets as an "appetizer" during brunch. Totally worth it! That was probably the only remarkable thing from what I tried. Also, they have free "to-go" coffee bar in the bar area: that was a total plus for me! I may try this place again because it was in a really nice area that had a lot of stores/shopping around so, I could see myself giving them another try. Service was really good, and that always makes me want to go back to places! read more

Another Broken Egg Cafe - The mugs for coffee! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Mountain Brook, Alabama

I have never had a bad meal here. I am all about the eggs and meat. While my wife is more of the veggie variety. We both find what we want here. The potatoes seem like they could be frozen. But I still love them and are great. The only bad things are that there is always a crowd when I crave it. They can't help that they are popular. Also when I typically go, I am in need of some strong coffee. I can go through at least a half a dozen cups when I go here because it could be stronger. But the service is always great and will refill at will. This is a place that we take out of town guests because it is convenient. But even when we have tried to go somewhere else and can't (too crowded, closed, etc.) our out of town guests are always happy going back here. read more

I love non traditional dishes or traditional ones with a twist so when I saw that this restaurant offers Omelette with lobsta and brie and cinnamon roll French toast, I was sold!!! The restaurant is really quaint and located in a street with boutiques and not too far from the Zoo and Botanical Garden. Since there was a bit of wait, we decided to just eat at the bar. Our waitress was very friendly. Both dishes were good although the French toast was as you can imagine, a bit too sweet. I loved the presentation of the dishes and just the whole experience there. Apparently this is a chain that started in Louisiana where the original "broken egg" is, so hence the name of this restaurant, "Another broken egg"... luv it!

Mountain Brook is a gorgeous town, one that feels more Austria than Alabama, Another Broken Egg fits right in, with tasty mimosas relaxing you during the 40min wait for a table. Once sitting down, service is ok. The beignets were absolutely tasty, and the cinnamon roll was wonderful. My ham and cheese omelet was very good, but the best touch was the option to have chorizo cooked with the home fries. Chorizo is the answer to world peace. It is the fourth star in this review. Thankfully I was out with Birmingham natives, because it is a bit hard to find. read more

We called in for the wait list and we're told the wait would be 30-45 minutes. Fine. We got there in a little less than 30 minutes and still waited over an hour to be seated Their explanation was that a party of 12 on the list turned out to be 24 people so they had to accommodate them first! We and others were pushed way back! Bad business decision. It was chaos inside after we were seated, including a young boy running around the restaurant shooting spitballs through a straw. Not enjoyable at all. We will not visit here again. Ambiance and service were terrible. read more

Great food and atmosphere! Definitely one of my family's favorite brunch locations! We love it!!

Review updated!! The service was amazing!! The food was amazing. No wait time, previous review was 4 stars because of wait time during my last visit but my most recent visit there wasn't any wait time. It was a beautiful atmosphere and the patio was open as well. The food never disappoints and it's easy to try new things here because everything is always so good. read more

The omelette was over cooked & the Peach Bellini taste like a standard mimosa ... customer service was great very attentive!

Delish! Everything and the service is top notch! You must try this place if you live in or are visiting Birmingham.

Had a nice time for my first time. Good breakfast and didn't have to wait but 30 seconds as we got a seat at the bar top. Had the Lucy omelette. It was good and the hot sauce they have is on point. Glad they didn't mess up breakfast it's one of the easiest things to do. I would be back. read more

Don't forget to wear your patience pants! The crowds know this place is good and keep it packed on the weekends. We waited an hour to get a table. I usually order their Banana's Foster French Toast. The last time we were in, the manager brought us an order of beignets to apologize for the wait on one of our tables plates. Overall we had a good experience, but it seems a bit frenzied inside the restaurant. read more

My friend had her wedding meet and greet here and the service was great. The waitress did a great job serving all of us alone, staff even volunteered to take our pictures after our meal.

Went there this morning with extremely high hopes only to be extremely let down. The two stars are for the hostess, the cute mugs and our server being understanding. We ordered our food and waited a whiiiiiiile for it. During our wait, I glanced toward the kitchen and watched as another server was smoking her e-cigarette right there inside near the kitchen. Wow. Even the worst places I've been don't allow that. All the kids in there acted and looked like they just rolled out of bed hung over, still drunk or something! When our waiter set my plate down all I saw was brown guacamole and tough potatoes that had been sitting out, barely hot. Not fresh at all. No. Our kids got what was supposed to be chocolate chipped filled pancakes with whip cream but what they got was almost burnt pancakes sprinkled with a few chocolate chips. We asked for two orders of fresh potatoes and fresh guacamole. The potatoes were better but the guacamole was still brown and super unappetizing. I settled on some sliced avocado but was brought out a plate full of black grainy slices of avocado. I don't know why but being in this area, I was expecting better quality and cleaner. PLEASE DO NOT SMOKE ANY TYPE OF ANYTHING INSIDE OF A PUBLIC RESTAURANT, especially if YOU ARE A SERVER. read more

Foods absolutely delicious and service is pretty good!
