The food was delicious! We waited about an hour on Sunday, September 24th. I was my daughters' Birthday and we were told how good the food was. When we first got seated, there was a misunderstanding with our waitress and another waitress in the same area. One brought us silverware and took our drink orders and the other one took over. At the end of our meal, we had two separate tickets for two orders. When I checked my bank account, I was charged for two orders. She charged my account and my sister's account for the same order on top of my original order. I called them and had to leave a message for the manager as well as an email and phone number.NO RETURN CALL!!! The next day, I called, left a message and phone number again!!!!... NO RETURN CALL OR EMAIL!! I waited a few days to give them time to respond. AGAIN NOTHING!!.. I sent another email yesterday!! No Return Call!!..Not only did they charge me for someone else's bill, but THEY ADDED A TIP!!!!! If I ever return there, Im paying cash!!! read more

Best brunch in town. I highly recommend the lobster and brie omlette. The beignets are hit or miss depending on how fresh they are, but the marmalade is delicious! Other recommendations: Mardi Gras omlette(wonderful blend of flavor and heat) , cinnamon roll French toast (need I say more?) , and the lemon blueberry goat cheese pancakes (odd combo, but the goat cheese ties everything together well.) Be warned, you will most likely have to wait. It is a small, popular location. Average time that I have gone is 30-40 minutes. It's worth it. My wife and I love to kick back while we wait and watch the grown adults pitch Holy hell when being told they have to wait for their table at lunch time on a Sunday. read more

I tried messaging the restaurant on Facebook several days ahead of time as I was coming in with a large group and wanted to know the protocol for a group. I never received an answer on Facebook. I called the restaurant twice 2 days ahead of time and left a message and was not able to get through nor was I ever called back. Finally today prior to our arrival I called twice again at opening and did have someone pick up. When I inquired about a larger group (15 at the time) I was told to join the waitlist about an hour prior to arrival and put the actual number of the group (you can only join with a group of 6, anything larger and you have to call the restaurant) and the arrival time in the notes section. I also let the host I spoke with know we would be there at 1015am 15 minutes prior to 10am I received a text message that we were being removed from the waitlist although I had followed the instructions I was given. I immediately rejoined the waitlist and we arrived at 10am. At that time we were told that they had already sat another party and it would be an additional 30 minutes. At this time half of our party decided to leave as our entire group was traveling after brunch. The hostess was dismissive when we arrived and stated they had just given our table away and when we let them know about the change in group. Our waiter, Omar, was great and the food was good although we did have a few mix-ups with our orders. I think this place is fine for a couple or small group, but due to our experience I would avoid this place for larger groups. Also be mindful of where you're sat. We were under a vent in a smaller room and although the food came out hot it cooled quickly. read more

Personally, I don't get the hype of this place. I went to brunch with friends on a Sunday at noon. The wait was over an hour. Typically, I wouldn't wait that long to eat at any restaurant, but I was chatting with friends, so the wait wasn't too bad. I did get a drink at the bar to sip on while we waited for the table. I had the Tomatillo Mary which was unique, but it needed more vodka. It wasn't so good that I ordered a second drink. I ordered the Biscuit Beignets for the table to share. They were totally fine and edible. They did seem a bit dry. The honey marmalade that they were served with was tasty and helped add some moisture. I wanted to have the Cinnamon Roll French Toast, because it got good reviews on Yelp. But, it is served with two eggs and meat, and I don't eat either of those things, so I passed. A friend did get the Cinnamon Roll French Toast and said that it was delicious. I just got a side of French toast and a side of grits. They were both fine but nothing to write home about. The service was so-so. The food did come out pretty quick, but the friend that got the Cinnamon Roll French toast had to wait on her eggs & sausage. A truly good and organized restaurant would send out the food all at once. We did have to wait a LONG time for our second round of drinks from the bar. The wait was so long that we thought about cancelling the order. It was just a glass of wine and two Mimosas, so they weren't labor intensive. I would go back to Another Broken Egg Cafe, but I won't go out of my way for a second visit. There are plenty of other places in Raleigh where I would rather have breakfast --- Mecca, Big Ed's, Remedy Diner, Humble Pie. read more

I ordered takeout from here the other day with my son and needless to say this place did not disappoint! I got the shrimp and grits and he got the supreme omelette. First off the omelette was "Huge" it came in it's own box (sides came on the side ). The veggies tasted fresh like they came out of a garden, cheese and sausage were sooo yummy ! But the shrimp and grits....... make you want to smack your mama (a good thing)! The cream sauce had the perfect amount of seasoning and heat and the grits were sooo smooth. Definitely will go back! The only reason I didn't give them a five star rating was because it was kinda inconvenient to have to find quick parking just to run in and out but other than that it was a great place read more

They said our wait was 25 mins to 45 mins. Did not get seated until 2 hours. Then got ignored by servers. 4 servers walked out right by us for 30 mins. Left. read more

Just had the best experience! My waitress made my day and was absolutely amazing. I feel awful that I can't remember her name now, but she was super pretty with dark hair and a thick headband. She, on top of being great at her job, went out of her way to compliment a tattoo of mine and just overall made my experience at the restaurant really really nice. I will obviously be coming back. Oh, and the food was good too! read more

The food is good as is the service. Everyone told me this was the best breakfast place and it's ok but I'm not sure I would give it that high praise. It's nice and clean, they have a good patio and a lot of southern selections. I'd done there again. read more

Great food and good service. I had pancakes they were good, and hot. My friends had the eggs and grits with home fries. Our food was hot, drinks was great, we didn't have a long wait. However parking can be a headache. read more

Definitely, worth the wait! There was a bit of wait for our small group, but the food was so good. I ordered the cinnamon roll French toast, and I highly recommend it! Everyone was happy with what they order (the pancakes were a fan favorite amongst us). We were able to split a pitcher of mimosas among the 5 of us (about a glass and a half each). read more

Looking for a good meeting place we agreed on the Egg. The staff was welcoming and attentive. A simple basic American diner style restaurant. Good solid choices with a few seasonal items. Great for work, family, or any reason to let someone else make your breakfast!! read more

Arrived after church around 1250 and we were told the wait would be 45 minutes to an hour. We decided to wait since sometimes the wait can actually be shorter than expected. We were contacted via text about 40 minutes later that our table was ready. We received swift service and were met with smiles by the host to seated us and our waitress. It was our first time eating there so the waitress gave us complimentary beignets which were amazingly good! My husband and I both ordered omelettes with additional sides and a mimosa. All of the food gets an A+. I will definitely be back, because I love a good breakfast/brunch dining experience! The hours are 7am-2pm, so plan your dining ahead using the YELP app to have your party name on the list and avoid long wait times!! read more

This breakfast spot was so good and server was so nice. I reserved to go here very last minute and the hostess was super sweet. Their kitchen was slow but server compensated in every way possible. read more

Service was lovely & environment tidy. Food was extremely bland. We got the southwest scramble and the chicken & waffles, both dishes didn't have much flavor. This is the first chicken & waffles dish I've ever had that didn't have seasoning to the chicken, which made the dish taste bland, even with the chipotle honey drizzle. The southwest scramble consistency was a mushy/ purée, not at all what was expected for a scramble. It didn't look like there were eggs in the dish either. We'll possibly give other dishes a try if we decide to come back here. read more

I went to this location yesterday with a co worker. This is my third time going. My first time was in July for my birthday and they had a lemon custard pancake that I thought was wonderful so I have gone back twice since. I don't know if the first time was a fluke or if there has been mishaps the other two times but I have had really bad luck trying anything else. We tried the carrot cake pancakes which I thought had a good flavor but extremely dry. We also tried the short ribs which again, had a good flavor but extremely dry. Also tried the Apple fritter French toast. They seemed very dressed up but plain in flavor. I am not happy with the last two experiences read more

Food was just ok. Eggs and Potatoes were cold. Not worth the wait and I don't think we will be coming back.

So, so is what I'll say. I was very happy with the free cinnamon roll thanks to the Yelp check in offer! Free is ALWAYS for me. It came out warm and oozing with icing and perfect for two people. That made me happy. While the menu items we ordered sounded amazing, they were pretty underwhelming to eat. Very mediocre, definitely like chain restaurant type food. Service was very friendly but slow. Our waitress disappeared for a while at one point and that was annoying. Cute coffee mugs, and casual atmosphere. 3 stars. read more

We went for the training weekend because it was to benefit the SPCA. I honestly did not have very high expectations because new restaurants typically need time to get good. I was wrong! The food was great and the service was fantastic (the hostess was a little below fantastic but the rest were up there). We started with the biscuit beignets. They were really really good by themselves and even better with the honey marmalade; It is definitely a lot so share them. For breakfast he ordered the eggs blackstone (basically benedict with roasted tomatoes) and I ordered the benedict oscar. Both were fantastic dishes that would be ordered again with no hesitation (expect for wanting to try the rest of the menu). The waiter also brought us a side of bacon to try because they bake a special thick cut of bacon - WOW....delicious too! Oh the coffee...don't forget the coffee. The serve a singe roasted brew in a handmade cup. The brew is strong with no bitterness at all, a really good cup of coffee. This was a great change from Briggs, etc and a welcomed addition in my opinion. For those reviews looking for a Denny's breakfast this is the wrong place. While those types of places certainly have a spot this just isn't one of them, and that's not a bad thing. read more

Today after much anticipation of trying out this restaurant for the first time, this review is solely on the customer service. It was that terrible we did not even stay to try the food. As we walked in, an older woman was already waiting for a table to be sat. The host comes up without a welcome and asks, "who came first?". The woman answered and the hostess proceeded to ask how many. The woman waiting was looking around out the window and said to the hostess with her back facing her, "I don't think she has arrived yet." The hostess snapped with an attitude while pulling out the menus and said with a snide remark : "well do you want to sit or not?" She had a disgruntled look and even made the awful hand gestures at her. I'm sorry this woman had not done anything except wait patiently to be serviced, and when she did she was given an attitude? This is a poor representation of the restaurant and the waitstaff at this location. It shows pure ignorance, unprofessionalism, and even prejudice. The hostess apparently had realized we saw her reaction and proceeded with a more warming welcome when it came to us. She had said something to hostess about something being ugly, then the server walked away. We then told her we had a party of two and she took us to our table and said ,"have a good one." We were looking at the menu, and we were excited for trying the coffee, biscuit beignets, and something off the benedict menu. I noticed when I looked around, it was not even quite that busy and the man sitting behind us looked irritated. He looked like he had been sitting there for quite some time just waiting for a check to be picked up. Each server had walked past us about five to six times already since we had been sat. I gave them the benefit of the doubt it was probably because we were still looking at the menu. About 15 minutes had past and we were not even acknowledged. Now, if the servers were "struggling,"or couldn't handle their tables they should have gotten someone else or the manager to start us off. We finally decided to call it quits because it was if we were invisible. As we were getting up and putting on our coats, one of the servers looked at us and didn't even ask why were getting up or anything (this was the same server that had come up to the hostess stand before we were sat). Then we were chased out by the manager who asked did a server not come to our table and offered to pay for our meals, at the point I did not even want to walk back in. Free or not, we came there to enjoy our meal and service which we didn't receive. If it took that long to be acknowledged our service would have been horrible. I am never going to this location again. I would rather drive to Durham to try out the menu. It is a shame for a restaurant to have such a great potential to have such a mediocre waitstaff. read more

This is the third time I have been to this Another Broken Egg location for Sunday Brunch. Unfortunately, I come because I love the food, but the service is always lacking. This is the least busy I've seen the place, and for some reason they still were unable to manage. The first time I went they had an appetizer menu with the beignets on it and they were amazing! They still had them on the menu so we asked if we could have them as an appetizer before our meals. Unfortunately, all of the food came out at the same time (took 45 minutes after we ordered which was in addition to the wait to be seated). We waited another 15 minutes after eating for our check and even longer for them to take the check. On a plus side, you can't beat their Eggs Benedict. They have different variations. I loved the crab cake Benedict but went with the Blackstone Benedict this time (Grilled red tomato slices on an English muffin, topped with poached eggs, hollandaise, baked bacon and green onions.). It was delicious and I always love their country potatoes. My boyfriend got the cinnamon roll French toast and loved it. Sorry no pictures because we were starving by the time we received the food. read more

Terrible first experience at North Hills. Host gave us an unprofessional greeting as we waited at the host stand. Soon after, we were seated. After waiting approximately 10 minutes for a server or at least an "I'll be right with you," we decided to leave. Right after exiting, the manager chases after us and asks if our server ever came to our table. Obviously that was a no. She then offered to buy our meals but we declined. Terrible service and unprofessional work ethics drove me away from ever coming to this location again. read more

We had friends visiting from Greenville and they only had one requirement for breakfast - FRENCH TOAST. After searching Yelp, we settled on ABEC. We called ahead and put our party of 4 on the list. While we waiting, we ran over to Crepe Traditional (formerly Saxby's) for coffee. We were give a 25 minute wait time but it was shorter than that and our pager went off as we walked back up. Seating was comfy, near the bar (which is first come first served) and we enjoyed the atmosphere. It is a little loud on Sunday's. The waitress brought over some free beignets (amazing) and our food was served up fast. I enjoyed my skillet special and our out of towners noshed on French toast so good he's requested it again in subsequent Raleigh trips. The waitress really worked hard to make sure we were happy and we left her a good tip. I really like this place and will definitely be back. read more

I was really expecting more from the hype I've heard about this place. The food was great, don't get me wrong, but they lack in other areas. Our server was fine, nothing to write home about, but while we sat in the lobby waiting to be seated all we heard was catty waitress talk! It was very unbecoming and rude. I get that everyone talks crap about everyone at work but to do it within such plain earshot of your customers is unacceptable. The wait time was about an hour, no problem, it's NH so we walked around in the rain and got some coffee. However the wait for the food was ridiculous. I don't understand why they don't keep a ready batter of pancake mix, that is stupid in my opinion. I shouldn't have to wait 20+ minutes for breakfast food--it wasn't even busy by the time we were sat. I'll go back to try the other menu items with high hopes of some improved professionalism! read more

Food was spectacular. The only reason I don't rate 5 stars is because of the 2 hour wait from arrival to actually being served food. They were understaffed on a Saturday morning. read more

Went there for Saturday breakfast with my bride. We had the powdered biscuits and marmalade. Oh God they are so good. My wife ordered the seafood and crawfish omelette and I had the bacon and sausage omelette. The shrimp in the omelette were huge! I am not kidding. My meal was delicious as well. This place is not cheap. Two breakfasts were $33.00, but it was really good. I can't afford to eat there everyday, but I wish I could read more

Went here while visiting a friend for a birthday brunch. Everything was delicious. I'd definitely go here again if I didn't live several hundred miles away. Try the double chocolate dulce de leche waffle and you won't be sorry. But honestly everyone in our party got something that was delicious so you probably don't have any wrong choices on this menu. Sorry no pics, but we ate all the food! read more

We put in a reservation but there was still a wait. The food and drinks were delicious. Our server was very nice. We will be back.

The food was excellent as well as the portions. We had a medium-size group and the workers were accommodating, accessible, and even was flexible when more members of our group unexpected arrived. They also offer gluten free options. read more

Maybe some of the service comments stem from the fact that ABE was new, opening in March this year. My service was good. There at about 8:30 am. The food was good. The coffee was good. The service was good. I'd go back. I'd take friends there. read more

3.5 stars I haven't been to Another Broken Egg in awhile, because they are always really busy for weekend brunch. But recently I was lucky enough to have a chance to try them out during the week, so no wait for us! When you check-in on your Yelp app it said you can get a free gourmet muffin, but our server informed us that they didn't have any and brought us out biscuit beignets instead! I preferred that anyways since it is easier to share. While trying to figure out what I wanted to order, I was having a major case of indecision. But then I realized they had a pancake flight on the menu. Problem solved! I got to choose 3 different types of pancakes off their menu. I went with the Lemon Blueberry Goat Cheese, Peach Cobbler and Banana's Foster pancakes. I LOVED the Lemon Blueberry Goat cheese, closely followed by the Banana's Foster. But the peach cobbler was just kinda meh to me. The flight also came with eggs and a meat, so I ordered the kielbasa. I would probably choose the same meat again, because it is a little different than the normal bacon or sausage as it has a little more spice to it. I definitely recommend getting the pancake flight though if you want a variety of flavors or if you are just indecisive like me. I tried my husband's French toast flight, and we both agreed that the pancakes were better. Service was ok, but nothing spectacular. While we didn't have to wait for a table, our server wasn't the quickest. After getting our food we realized we didn't have any syrup, so we requested it. But he forgot and it took him awhile to bring it by, and only after we reminded him. Overall, Another Broken Egg is a decent brunch choice. They have a really big menu, so everyone should be able to find something they like. And if you want something a little different than every day breakfast food, they have some New Orleans inspired dishes to try! The portions are also very generous and left me stuffed! read more

Brunch is the Big New Thing in the Triangle, and while it's nice to have a place offering breakfast/brunch during the week that's a step above Waffle House, I wasn't all that impressed with Another Broken Egg. We arrived after the Sunday brunch rush and the place wasn't terribly full, yet service felt rushed and disorganized. We didn't get utensils until we asked for them, and after waiting a while I ended up going to the bar to get the hot sauce I'd requested as our server didn't seem interested in bringing it to the table. The food was okay. Not good, not bad, just okay. My friend's salmon benedict was just salmon on an English muffin under some sauce and egg, without so much as a hint of vegetables or anything else to add interest to the meal. He did say the eggs were done perfectly to his liking, which was a plus. My huevos rancheros looked impressive, but I've had more beans in a single arepa at Guasaca than I did in the whole dish here - and aren't the beans one of the more important aspects of the dish? I suppose they skimp expecting people to upgrade with added chorizo. What beans were present were overpowered by raw onion chunks and the thin, slightly bitter liquid in which they were served. The tortillas were large and tough, and the disc of conglomerated egg and cheese was overdone to the point where the yolks were grainy and dry. The side of fried potatoes was the highlight of the dish. I've had worse huevos rancheros but I've also had a lot better, and to be honest I was expecting something in the latter category from a restaurant that specializes in breakfast items. read more

So it was my birthday yesterday and I didn't really make a plan to do much of anything. I went on Yelp and because we were in the area I decided to check out this place with my boyfriend. Firstly, you should add yourself to the online waitlist if you are even just possibly thinking of going here because if you don't you might as well try again another time bc it's a true 1-1 1/2 hr wait BUT SO WORTH IT if you wait it out. As we waited in a corner I felt as though the two hostesses were friendly and tried to be as calm as possible as people walked in confused by such a long wait time. Once seated I ordered the Lobster and city grits with a single pancake. It was AMAZING! Literally the best thing I ate this weekend. I'm sad it's only seasonal because but I have to make sure I come back before it goes away .My bf ordered blueberry pancakes with eggs and sausage patties which we discussed these sausages a majority of the day. Overall I had a great bday brunch experience and definitely look forward to coming back read more

It's not bad, but we honestly only visit maybe once a year despite being big fans of breakfast and lunch and it being very close nearby. On a recent visit, found the entryway / waiting area filthy, the floor a mess, a trash sweeper and cleaning spray out in the open. It is said that the entrance to a place is representative of its whole, and although it was only 11am, it was way more dirty than it should have been at that time. The floor in the dining area was also quite dirty. Not what we want to see at an otherwise quaint place. Staff and service is attentive and thankfully less chatty than our last visit. Unless you arrive early expect to wait for a table. The food is generally good although pricier than the options in the general vicinity, and they have slimmed down their menu since our last visit, so one of us struggled to find a meal we wanted. A suggestion would be for more simple breakfasts with options. This place has all it needs to go from ok to really good. For now it's just ok and remains an annual or semi-annual visit. read more

Had some out of town friends looking for a breakfast together before they drove home, and found this place on Yelp so we thought we'd give it a shot. The wait time on a Sunday at 9:30am was about 20 mins, which was slightly less than typical of this time at breakfast and brunch places in the area, so we thought that was pretty good. Our guests were vegan and vegetarian, and our server AJ was simply terrific with them. She was paying attention to every dish to ensure the veg's were well taken care of and got exactly what they asked for. The vegetarian friend in particular is a foodie and very picky about food and service, and he was very happy with what he got - AJ more than earned his trust. The food was excellent. I had 2 eggs over easy. Most places this means an oily thing on your plate. Here it wasn't oily at all. It was superb. I also had some grits because I was pleased to find they were not cheese grits, and they were tasty and smooth. And I normally don't like grits. The vegan had oats with fruit, which was berries, and she commented how nice that was. Other had traditional breakfasts with or without meat and all commented how good it was. The place ended up being exceptionally busy - I imagine the wait was longer by the time we left - so I would suggest getting there early. But our experience was excellent - I'll be going back there for sure! read more

BE SURE TO CALL AHEAD! We go here often for breakfast Saturday and Sunday mornings, but just today learned that you can call ahead to be placed on their waiting list. With waits around 1 hour, calling ahead is key or you will find yourself feeling quite claustrophobic waiting in the small entry space. Food is always yummy and the staff is consistently friendly, polite and efficient. Best place for breakfast around North Hills. read more

Wasn't impressed. I thought that the idea of someone pouring syrup on my pancakes was weird. That's just like someone bringing me cereal .... No thanks! It's all about portion control. I asked for cheese eggs, scrambled with onions. Eggs were scrambled with cheese thrown on top, onions laid on the side . The best thing about this place was the 180 coffee, the waitress made sure it was hot and fresh. Oh and speaking of waitress, didn't forgot to bring us napkins, forks. I'm not sure if I will try this place again..... If I do, I won't order pancakes swimming in syrup . read more

Tried the classic steak and eggs and was impressed. They managed to make my eggs over hard without breaking the yolks, which is far better than the easy out many breakfast places take. The steak was a small 4 oz portion, but didn't add much to the price. We also tried the biscuit beignets, which were hot and dense with a tasty orange marmalade. Overall, I was very impressed with out breakfast and will be back. read more
