I have celiac, so dining out with me is an unalloyed joy. We start with the interrogation and go downhill from there. This restaurant advertises itself as "gluten friendly" which inadvertently awkward. That's like saying you're "STD friendly" because that's not something anyone ever asks for, I hope. We've eaten here before and it was a good experience. I ordered "safe" and genuinely enjoyed the meal. We stopped in on a weekend visit, and I asked about the gluten free pancakes. The server immediately explained the pancakes were cooked on the same grill as regular, which would make it a hard pass. My husband, who owns a conference and event management company asked if they could make the pancakes in a "clean pan" on the grill. She asked the kitchen, and they agreed. So, I got to have really outstanding gf pancakes with banana slices and it was Christmas on a plate. This alone guarantees I'll be back and will recommend this to others. On the flip side, the scrambled eggs were rubbery and the apple chicken sausage tasted like a depressed half smoke that gave up on life at a young age. I skipped those and would also suggest others do the same. read more

Wanted to love this place since I love brunch but was underwhelmed. The house potatoes tasted stale and like they just reheated them. The grits were so cold that the butter didn't melt. The syrup looked and tasted watered down. Asked for a tea refill and they just added hot water. No additional lemon slice or tea bag. The takeaway bag doesn't even fit the boxes. The soap in the bathroom was also watered down. This location just seems to try and cut corners. For the positives the smoked salmon Benedict was a unique menu item that I enjoyed. I will say the peach French toast was delicious and a perfect addition to a seasonal menu. Raspberry white chocolate cold brew was also good another great seasonal menu item. Lots of booth seating. The industrial look is nice. The server was the sweetest ever. I think they were understaffed because she was also the bartender. Overall, would not be returning. read more

beignets, which I was really looking forward to trying. When I arrived, our food was ready on time, everything was packaged correctly, and the entire order was accurate. I mentioned to the hostess that the beignets were not available to order online, and she seemed surprised that they weren't listed. Overall, I had a good experience and would definitely consider ordering again. However, I would recommend that the restaurant review and update its online menu so customers have access to all available items. read more

My family and I visited this restaurant for brunch on February 28th. The atmosphere is a casual setting, and there is an option of booths or standard table seating. We were greeted with professionalism when we arrived and were seated promptly. We ordered a variety of drinks as well as entrees. The pineapple berry agua fresca was absolutely tasty and refreshing. Everyone enjoyed their food. Each dish had a good portion size. Besides the drink mentioned above, some of our favorites included the cajun shrimp & crawfish omelette, the apple crunch French toast, and the shrimp and grits. We had two mishaps. The Hendricks Hurricane drink was not mixed appropriately; there were clumps of coconut floating around in it giving the appearance of spoiled milk, and it also did not taste good, so we had to return it. Secondly, I ordered my omelette without the andouille sausage as I am allergic to pork. Unfortunately, as I was eating my omelette, I happened to see that the middle had a few pieces of sausage in it. I informed the server of the situation. She handled it quickly, very professionally, and was proactive in providing a resolution. The manager also came over to apologize for the situation and ensure that the resolution was adequate. I was highly impressed with their Customer Service. I felt that they genuinely valued me as a customer and wanted to make sure that the situation was adequately rectified. This was truly appreciated. I will visit again the next time I am in town. read more

What a wonderful surprise to see some sausage bits to compliment my crab cake eggs Benedict perfectly. Absolutely delicious. They also had a seasonal apple crunch French toast with the PERFECT crispy texture to contrast the softened caramalized apple pieces on top. Plenty of seating and natural light. All around positive experience. read more

Weekend Winner: Another Broken Egg Café - A Brunch Blessing with Bourbon Street Vibes After my less-than-impressive stop at Roast Rider, I spotted Another Broken Egg Café just a short walk away--and let me tell you, it ended up being the best decision of the weekend. I've been wanting to try this place for a while, and with Lexi in tow and patio seating available, it felt like the perfect moment. Turns out, this place is not as hidden as I thought--but it definitely deserves the hype. Let's start with the service: Our waiter was a total gem. He's actually from Florida and is just working at this location for the summer while visiting friends in the area. And wow, they hit the jackpot with him. Friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about the food--that's the kind of energy that makes a breakfast experience unforgettable. He let me know the menu leans New Orleans-style, which immediately sold me. I asked for a drink rec and went with the monthly special: a blueberry margarita. The juice was fresh-squeezed--you could tell right away--but it was a little tart for my taste. When I mentioned it, he kindly brought out some simple syrup, and with a quick stir, it became the perfect brunch cocktail. Now, let's talk French toast. I ordered the pineapple rum sauce French toast, and I'm not exaggerating when I say it might be one of the best I've had since moving here. That. Sauce. Was. Everything. Sweet, boozy, buttery magic. I was this close to asking for a jar to take home. I even saved a piece of French toast just so I could enjoy it later with more of that rum sauce. And yes--I already have dreams of blending it into a frozen banana milkshake. The patio? Gorgeous. Plenty of seating--tables, lounge chairs, even little couches--and totally dog-friendly. It's relaxed, comfortable, and perfect for solo brunch, friend catch-ups, or bigger parties. There's indoor seating too, with a cute bar top if you want to sit read more

I got their seasonal peach pancake ($14) and it was pretty average tasting. The peach was kinda of lack luster. Staff was good. My group was the only party here during the early morning which may have made a factor. Overall a little disappointed in the food, I'd probably check out other brunch options. Food(50%): 5.0 Staff/service(25%): 6.5 Value(25%): 6.0 Overall: 5.6/10 read more

We've been here a few times. The first two times we went, the food was good. And then on the third time, I made the mistake of ordering a salad. It was the worst salad I have ever seen. If I had eaten it, I would have been sick for days on the toilet. The lettuce had gone bad and I had to send it back to the kitchen. Only order breakfast food here. The times I had breakfast food here, it was SO GOOD. I will go back, but definitely will not order a salad. read more

The food is delicious, with creative and tasty option on the menu. The service side was a train wreck that day though. Didn't mark it down star wise because I have been here before several times and service was fine. Today I got in just before the Saturday brunch crowd, and as I left it was clear they were sacked with people waiting for seats and I eventually had to flag down a manager to get a check. Great food, right now service process has a few cracks in it and a few trainees, I expect things will be ironed out soon. read more

One of the worst experiences ever. We walked out after waiting an hour. After 50 minutes, we were told they forgot to add the avocado I asked to be added. I told the server I'll take it as it is and just bring it out. 10 minutes later, after watching the server go in and out of the back multiple times, we decided to leave. read more

I keep coming back. Even though it's a chain, they do a great job of keeping it cute, cozy, and relaxing while maintaining solid quality across the board. The service is always attentive and friendly, which makes a big difference when you're trying to enjoy a laid-back brunch. The décor is bright and inviting, perfect for brunch vibes. I also love that the menu has calories listed. The seasonal items keep things fresh, and the drink menu is top-tier, whether you want a boozy brunch or just a solid coffee. A huge plus? You can get in line online, so no standing around forever. That's always a win in my book. If you're looking for a reliable, high-quality brunch spot in VA Beach with great service and a welcoming atmosphere, this is it. Definitely worth checking out! read more

Have visited several times in the couple years open Service is hit or miss. Cleanliness needs improvement and the food sometimes really good and other times not so much. Last time we were there or ever will be Came in on a Wednesday morning at 11 not crowded Stood in front and wasn't greeted by 3 servers who passed us. Finally a server came by and said I will right with you. We were taken to a table right outside kitchen door Were passed by 2-3 servers on several occasions no one came. After about 12 minutes at the table and a total of almost 22 minutes in the restaurant, we got up and left read more

Came for brunch after church. It wasn't packed so we were seated quickly near the bar area. My husband ordered the chicken and waffles with the tenders in their buffalo. I got the brown egg biscuit sandwich with fruit and a side of gumbo. Our server who was also the bar tender asked my husband if he wanted the tenders on top of his waffle bc the sauce would make the waffle soggy. He asked for the tenders in the side. I asked for the gravy for my sandwich on the side. When our order came out the chicken tenders were on top of the waffle. When we asked the server who brought the food out for another waffle they advised they would have to check with our specific server. She came over and advised another waffle would be out soon because she did notate the tenders should've on the side. When the waffle finally came, my husband had to go over to the bar area to ask for syrup and butter because the server was preoccupied at the bar, even though it wasn't busy. I enjoyed the biscuit sandwich. The tenders were seasoned well and the biscuit was soft. The gumbo wasn't good this time. When I saw the picture of gumbo from my first visit, it looked nothing like what I got today. read more

My sister recommended this place because she loved the location in NC. So we gave it a whirl. The place has good vibes and the service is great. I ordered pineapple berry mocktail and the cajun shrimp&crawfish omelette. The portions are huge; you can definitely share with everyone at the table. The food was delicious. Our only complaint was how long the food took to come out. 8/10 would recommend, will come again! read more

I can't get enough of this place! The place is nice modern decore. There is a lot of seating, but fill up fast. And you may have a long wait, but if your good there is seating at the bar and no wait. I herd so much about the "Cinnamon Roll French Toast ", so I had to order it! Ooh my folks!! Definitely the Rum Sauce, fresh berries and cinnamon roll all rapped in one delicious package. Definitely gonna ask for extra rum sauce when I do come back. Also tried the "Lobster & Brie Omlette" it was so good and rich cause of the cream cheese filling. Will have to order light on the cream cheese filling. Had to also have my Bacon! Lol They do change up the menu to reflect the season, so definitely check out. I am excited to go back and try more of their awesome dishes! But I will tell you every time I go am always gonna order the "Cinnamon Roll French Toast" Will definitely recommend this place! read more

What, a brunch place on Sunday morning without a wait... should've been a red flag. We were greeted and seated quickly. Tried talking to the waitress to get a kids order in early while we adults were still trying to decided. She gave us about 15 seconds before she no longer had patience for my 2 year old to order and said she'd come back when we were really ready. Uh. Ok. The menu items ALL sounded amazing. Eventually I ordered 1/2 beignets, apple fritter French toast with eggs over easy and sausage. My husband ordered the traditional breakfast with an add on of pancakes. The $5 pancakes were so tiny and luke warm. My MIL also got the fritter. I'd say the fritter had a yummy flavor and was filling - a 8/10. The sausage that came with it was delicious - 9/10. Beignets were hot but hard, 6/10. My son had difficulty eating them and I had to cut them. We asked about the tiny pancakes and she said if we ordered them differently then they would have been normal size (same price) but because we added them to the meal, they are tiny (ie they were trash). Traditional meal for what you get for the cost of $20, totally not worth it- 4/10. My mother in law tried talking to the waitress and while she was mid sentence the waitress walked off. Literally we just sat there stunned. Service - 3/10. Maybe it was an off day. I say tread lightly when picking this brunch location. read more

we were lucky getting a close space to park here at hilltop, and being cane bound the entrance had both the option of a step or a curb very noisy going inside and little wait (we went early afternoon). i was able to order cold brew coffee, delicious, and i usually look for a seafood omelette. everything was very good. only issue i rated the other star was because i literally had to speak louder to my friend although we were a table apart, and the server was very sweet read more

Ambiance is great, bright and airy.. modern than most mom and pop diner. Lots of people seem to come to enjoy the atmosphere, congregating over good food. Service is fast, we got seated immediately. Server came quickly to our table. When asked whether the shrimp and grits is good, she said it is , but do not expect it to be like typical Louisiana style. And she was right. My shrimp and grits didn't look as appetizing, brownish sauce/gravy drowning the grits. The proportion of shrimp to grits is little. And it was on the salty side. My beau got eggs Benedict and home fries, which seemed more delectable. I'd say check this place out. I'd come back for other menu items. read more

I was absolutely thrilled when I found out this new breakfast/brunch spot was open in the Hilltop area. Since we were close by on a Friday afternoon, we just had to stop in and try it out. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by the hostess who asked if we needed any gluten-free or vegan menus. I absolutely love restaurants that cater to patron's dietary needs. Once we were seated, our waitress, Heidi, quickly greeted us! She was very nice and had a great sense of humor! Since it was our first time there, she informed us of some of the items that people love. We were struggling with what to order because everything on the menu sounded amazing! I decided on the Shrimp & Grits with a 1/2 order of the Biscuit Beignets and my daughter created her own omelette (which came with potatoes and toast) with a 1/2 order of pancakes. The Biscuit Beignets were served first and I loved them! They were covered in a generous amount of powdered sugar which made them pretty sweet but they were really good. The Shrimp & Grits weren't bad but they had a strong Worcestershire-like taste to them that was a bit off putting. I did add some salt, pepper and hot sauce and it definitely helped. My daughter enjoyed her omelette and the pancakes were absolutely delicious. We did order a mocktail and a mimosa and they both were great, very refreshing. Overall, I will definitely be returning back to try the other items. I love the modern rustic decor, it definitely gives the restaurant a unique feel. The outside patio is very large and will definitely come in handy during the Summer months. I highly recommend stopping in and trying out this new, Southern-inspired restaurant!!! read more

Love this restaurant. Always so clean, bright and welcoming. The staff from the moment you walk in until you check out is always so friendly. Brittany was our server and she was fantastic. She took very good care of us and didn't hesitate to help us out. The food came out fast, was delicious and very flavorful. My only minor complaint was that my breakfast potatoes were a little shriveled and overcooked but the the bourbon pancakes were to die for! I could have eaten that all day, every day. Will certainly return soon. read more

Impressed! Excellent service and nice and new inside with a huge patio. We headed to the website to review the menu and saw you can join the waitlist from your home or car on the way - sweet! When we arrived there wasn't a wait and we were able to request a spot out on the patio under one of their three umbrellas - warning - not lots of shade otherwise. Our waitress was such a sweetheart! So friendly and polite and easily able to answer menu questions and make suggestions. We chose a range of items and everyone was happy with their choices. -House coffee - very good and hot and fresh - served in an adorable themed mug -Blueberry, Lemon, Ricotta pancakes served with eggs and sausage. -Veggie Omelette -Make Your Own Biscuit (house-made) with bacon, egg, cheese and fruit. -Half order beignets (4) Everything was very good - hubs loved the beignets. My pancakes were fluffy and delicious and my mom's omelette was HUGE in portion size and she enjoyed it. The inside is spacious, updated, and clean with a very large bar seating area as well. Great location in the Hilltop shopping center by PlantHouse, Taste and Melting Pot. We will come back for sure for brunch with out of towners. read more

We had a nice spur of the moment breakfast here. They have a bunch of seasonal items right now on the menu. I tried the cinnamon roll French toast. I liked it for the most part taste wise but I felt that it was expensive for it being cinnamon rolls that seemed just like Pillsbury ones. But it did taste good with the fresh berries. I really loved the flavor of their homemade sausage patties. My partner got an omelette and said it was good. The potatoes and their gravy were underwhelming. Cocktails were tasty- we tried the margarita and blackberry mule. I really enjoyed that they had outdoor seating and our server was pleasant. read more

Probably not our favorite place in the world. We waited for about 50 minutes, so we were hungry! lol The shrimp n grits were delicious, a lot of the egg oriented dishes were not as good, not sure if it's because the place was just jam packed and they were trying to just get the food out, but a lot of the eggs were overcooked. We're going to have to come back and give it a second try. read more

Ambiance was great and the service was great, but I hate to say the food was awful. I ordered the biscuits and gravy and my partner had the country power bowl. The bacon was decent and flavorful, but everything else was so bland it practically tasted like cardboard. No amount of salt or pepper could fix the gravy, imagine a spoonful of soggy flour on top of (I will say, decent) biscuits. My partner's grits were also completely flavorless and watery, along with everything else in the bowl. We hate wasting food, but unfortunately most of it was inedible and we ended up paying while leaving full plates behind. It's never a good feeling to spend money on a bad meal, but I guess you win some and lose some. Learn from our mistake and spend your money elsewhere. read more

Joined the waitlist for minimal wait when we arrived at the restaurant. This was our second time and it's just as good as the first. We started off with drinks- salted caramel cold brew for me and margarita for my babe. Both were great. Last time I ordered the butter pecan cold brew. I think I like the salted caramel better. I ordered the lobster and Brie omelette and it is definitely my favorite omelette. My fiancé ordered the madri gras omelette and my daughter ordered the traditional breakfast. We also ordered a small stack of the bourbon banana pancakes and beignets. Everything was wonderful. Definitely will be back read more

So disappointed with this place. I think they were short in the kitchen. First, their website has a waitlist that means nothing at all. I checked in with the host when we got there and they had no electronic waitlist and just wrote my name down as if I was a walk in. The manager told me "you still have to put your name on this list ". I felt like telling him, that is not the purpose of a waitlist and that's not how it works. So then he told us it was only a 15 minute wait only to find that he told everyone that as they walked in! We ended up waiting over 35 minutes and then finally sat down and the waitress was very kind and took our order right away. It was clear after waiting 50 minutes for our food on top of the unexpected 35 minute wait to be seated that there kitchen was backed up. How do you not tell your customers??? After talking with the server we found it was under new management. They will run it into the ground. Food was still good just slow. read more

Not the greatest service. Walked in and sat at the bar. There was two people at the bar. Bartender didn't say hello I said hi how are you doing? She actually responded. I said can I get a glass of water and a coffee and check out a menu. I received the water never got my coffee. Never got the menu and they were literally making drinks right in front of me the entire time I was there. Total of about 10 mins. I Bartended and managed restaurants for years. It's not hard to grab the menu and hand it to a customer sitting in front of you. Kind of a shame cause I work in that shopping center. read more

This could've been at least a 4 star for the food and design of the restaurant but the service dropped it to a 3. We went on Father's Day which was busy but we had extended waits and lack of service. We checked in for 2 and they said it would be 30-40 mins, which was no problem. When it went past 45 mins we went to the hostess table because we hadn't heard anything. They were able to seat us shortly after. We sat down and we're greeting quickly. We hadn't had time to look at the menu so we just ordered waters with lemon and told our waitress we'd be ready when she came back. She came back with the waters and no lemon. She said she would drop off some food and be back to take our order. She did not come back. I had to flag her down 15 mins later. We then ordered a spiked cold brew, the Hey Lucy omelette and crab benedict and asked for lemons. She didn't write anything down. About 20 mins went by and my drink still wasn't delivered nor were the lemons. We asked another waitress at that time if she could find our waitress and locate the drink and lemons. She did which was great. Then another roughly 30 mins went by before our food came. One dish was incorrect so she had to take it back. At this point I had waited over an hour from the time we ordered food to eat. Other tables that ordered after us received their food before us. I have waitressed for many years and if my food takes over an hour it should be comped. Now to the good part, the spiked cold brew was delicious and my dad enjoyed his omelette. He said it was flavorful with the chorizo and the salsa was good on it. I liked the crab in my benedict but I think the Cajun benedict sauce would've been better with shrimp. I wish I would've asked for the herb benedict sauce instead. It was all made well but I would try something different next time. The patio is cute for nice days and it's still a great spot for brunch! read more
