This Brunch spot is conveniently near DNT at the crossroads between Carrollton / Plano. All of the times I ate there were during busy morning hours with friendly service. Food is consistently good. I tried their scrambles, omelettes, waffles, and Benedicts and liked them all. I generally prefer hash browns but their home fries are good as well. There are lots of seating and lines go reasonably fast. read more

Be sure to tell server that you want the French toast cooked well. I had to send mine back today because one side hardly touched the grill! But they did make another piece for me read more

Awake - Mexican Skillet (w/ egg whites) - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Carrollton, Texas

I went here for brunch one Saturday with some friends. They were very accommodating for our big party with a few kiddos. I got the Biscuit & Gravy $11.00 which comes with 2 eggs, I ordered them over easy. The eggs were cooked perfectly. The sausage gravy had noticeable sausage pieces in it but it was very bland. I added pepper and salt to everything. This came with a side and I got the fruit cup which was almost the best part of my meal. The service was absolutely fantastic but the food was a little lacking in flavor. I will have to try something else next time I go back. read more

The food is always amazing here and well priced. I always as for an extra side of their homemade hollandaise sauce, sausage gravy and the pork green chile sauce. I haven't had anything bad from this place yet and the mimosas are well priced read more

Was in the area and decided to try this place and it was fine, pretty average. We asked for no meat in the burrito and it was filled with potato, the side item was also potato so it just became too much. Overall it was fine but a lot of better options out there. read more

I love this place! I love the minimalist decor, makes the restaurant look sleek and cute. I always get the Kale Cooler as my drink, so refreshing and a great alternative to high sugar juices. This time I got the Mexican Omelette and added avocado, the absolute best. Extra sour cream please! I have to have the ranch potatoes every time. Sooooo good! Good service as well. It can get crowded and the wait could be longer on some days, depending on the time you go. Just know, if you have to wait, it will be worth it. @MissMo2323 read more

Unfortunately, the first day of the year was off to a rough start. Although I was seated immediately, I waited and waited for someone to take my order. After about 10-15 minutes, when she saw no food or beverage on my table, the lead waitress asked if anyone came by. Soon after, someone finally took my order. The problem was that I was seated in the section directly behind the hostess/register. A partition behind me blocked the view from the other side. Unless someone already has a reason to walk by, that person would never know I had been seated at their table. Eventually my waiter did come to take my coffee order. As for my breakfast, I ordered the Awake omelette. The kitchen must not have been too busy because my order came pretty quickly. The omelette is ideal for mushroom-lovers. Because I failed to asked for it dry, the English muffin was soaked in butter. The coffee was okay. Because of the delay in getting it, I did not drink more than a cup. My waiter must have gotten gun-shy due to not checking if anyone sat his section. Throughout my breakfast, he checked on me very often. read more

I always enjoy my visits to Awake. Their service is fast and you don't have to wait a long time for your food. Their menu offers a little bit of everything in terms of breakfast and brunch items. I enjoy their sweet items including their French toast and waffles. For their sides, their potatoes are delicious! read more

M and I tried Awake for the first time this weekend and we had a great experience. Our server, Jasmine (sp?), was wonderful and she was very patient with me when I told her this was our first time. I usually choose a savory option at brunch (often veering into the lunch territory), but I was hoping for both salty and sweet, and the sweet combo works so nicely for that. I ended up going with the French Toast, ordering the two eggs over easy and the pork sausage. M ordered the Hiker's Benedict with the side of potatoes. The food came out pretty quickly, which I was grateful for. The French Toast was delightful, with a fluffy interior, and I really enjoyed the pork sausage. The eggs were exactly how I wanted, with the yolk still runny but all the whites set. I added some of the house-made hot sauce to my eggs and sausages and really liked it. M's benny was a hit as well. I tried a bite and was pleasantly surprised at how smoky the ham was. The bacon was good, although I was glad that I ordered the sausage for my dish (as much as I love bacon, I am a sucker for the breakfast sausage patties). The potatoes were probably my favorite. They didn't necessarily look that crispy but oh they were. And they were well seasoned--who wants bland potatoes? So with the delicious food and Jasmine's great service, we were happy and full and ready to go. When I got up to pay our check, I found out that another couple had paid for our food! I thought this was just something that happens in movies and on TV. The couple was already gone when I found out, so I didn't even get to thank them, but It was such a nice gesture and I can't wait to pay it forward one day. We'll be back to try some more items from the breakfast menu and also the lunch combo! read more

"Awake" - what a catchy name! It tells you right away what they serve. We came in a Saturday morning. There was no wait time at all. We were greeted and seated right away. We ordered a couple of breakfast items: Parisian benedicts and pancakes and eggs. It's called Parisian because it uses a croissant instead of an English muffin. The poached eggs on the Benedicts were nicely made. I particularly like the creamy mushrooms and Swiss cheese, and of course the smoky bacon. The croissant didn't disappoint. It was nice and buttery. The pancakes were whole-wheat pancake, not as eggy and chewy like regular pancakes. But you know you're getting something more wholesome and healthy. The house coffee was very smooth and well-balanced. They serve you a whole pot of coffee. We were not able to finish it all. So we asked for a to-go cup to enjoy it for the next couple of hours. We also got a kale juice, which was crisp and refreshing. We loved it! This is not a big place. But it seems like the wait staff seat people every other table. We felt quite comfortable sitting inside. If you want to have more distance, you can take one of the few tables right outside. You can also access the electronic menu via your cell phone. They have a full menu on breakfast and lunch items. I'm sure I'll come back to try something else. read more

Very average, came here starving with my family. Chicken & waffles my wife ordered & the waffle is very mid, & chicken was almost identical to kid cuisine, totally not a chicken tender! I got the omelette & it was very spongy. Rated it a 3/10 read more

Not a good experience... only one server in the restaurant with several tables. People getting up to get their own napkins, going to kitchen to find server, etc. Hostess threw a wet cloth in front of us. The towel looked dirty and smelled of strong cleaning chemicals and sat there for a long time right next to us. My food was missing several items. Not worth $40 for 2 people with water. We will be visiting your Nextdoor competitor, First Watch as soon as they open. read more

The server was good and the food came out quickly, however the food was subpar. I had the Parisian eggs Benedict and it did not have much flavor, the oatmeal pancake was decent for a "healthy" pancake. The traditional pancakes were a little better. The best was the side of potatoes we had! The Tuscan scrambler was good for my sister in law! My brother got the Cambridge. It was ok but a little too much ham (same with the Tuscan scrambler). The French toast was decent, basic French toast! The coffee was not the best we have had but it was basic cafe coffee. There was no wait on a Saturday morning which was nice. The ambiance was a good little brunch place. Very cute, however they had "FailArmy biggest fails" playing on the tvs which was a little strange. read more

Went yesterday and the place wasn't very busy. 3 tables sitting. We were sat and no one came to see us for 10 minutes. 2 wait staff walked by us several times and the front host saw us numerous times. Never given water, never said hello or "we are coming soon". After 10 minute we got up and told the front host we were leaving because no one acknowledged us. She said "okay." And turned away from us. No "we are sorry", no "we can get someone to your table now." I don't want to spend my money on a place that doesn't want me there read more

Awake - One really cool guy... - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Carrollton, Texas

This is my usual location and I always order an egg Benedict and my eggs have never been over cooked!! This consistency, the brioche French toast and usually the drinks is what keeps me coming when I want a place close to home. My last visit was a tad bit disappointing because of how warm both the restaurant and my carafe of mimosas was. I didn't get a chance to tell the waitress because it was a while before she came back to check on us. The food was delish as usual although you could tell it was sitting out for a bit. My Monterey Benedict was thankfully still warm and yummy as usual. We were on a bit of a time limit so the other order of scrambled eggs that were cold weren't eaten. The brioche French toast was great as usual as well, thick, fluffy, sweet, and not to eggy. I recommend if you prefer cold mimosas you ask for champs to be cold as well not just the juice they add in- I will def make this request next time. read more

I have never had anything less than excellent service and delightful meals at Awake. Orlando is our server every time we go, and seems to be a one-man band of sorts, running the register, serving (and doing a dang good job of it, too, on time with refills, etc.), often seating, the works. We were a bit later than usual Saturday morning, arriving at about 7:30am, so there were a few other staff assisting. (NOTE: I do not mean to imply anything negative about the staff in any way; I simply want to applaud the recognizably challenging workload.) I always get the hot cocoa, which is sweet and rich (I generally add sugar to cocoa to fully enjoy it, but there is absolutely no need here) and I love the whipped cream on top. We've had waffles, pancakes, sandwiches, omelets, you name it - nothing has ever been disappointing. I'm one of those people who always has requests (crispy bacon, add cheese...) and they have accommodated all of them with a smile. I wish I'd thought to take photos, but I'm always too hungry (maybe next time). All in all, fantastic experience and highly recommended. read more

The wait was not bad but the table we received was dirty. They wiped the table with a dirty wet rag and left it like that. They placed the menus on the wet table. The food was not good, it was bellow average. The only positive thing was our waitress. She was nice and attentive. Overall I will not return to this establishment. read more

Good food, variety of options. We had 3 generations of people with some food restrictions and we all found something to eat\drink that we were happy with. The way the restaurant tables are set up you might find yourself sitting closer to a stranger than you prefer because of the bench seating but there's other options of course!! Service was good, perfect amount of out of the way but accessible most of the time. I don't remember my servers name or I would share so you could get her good service. The host on duty when we dined there was young and a bit lacking in experience I dare say, so you might have to to get her attention. I am sure she will learn all those little things that help the guest experience. The restaurant was clean and dirty tables were bussed quickly. All I all good experience all around, we will be back to try other menu options. Parking is a b*t*h! read more

Great brunch spot! The wait was pretty long and I was kinda thirsty while waiting in line for 30 min. I really could of used one of their beautiful mimosas!

This is a great brunch spot, stoked to try it again. read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!! I don't give 5s out lightly, but this place is deserving! We went for late brunch after Sunday church service and we had to wait about 20 minutes to be seated. The waiting area is a decent size, we had a party of 8 and they put tables together for us. Our server was attentive and took his time with the kids as they ordered. I had a coffee but the sell some beer and wine and mimosas so you have that option which is ni e if you want that. The ambiance was nice, soft music in the background and clean, modern lines and furniture. Now, let's talk about that damn waffle......it was something special. You see I dabble a bit in the kitchen and getting waffle to that level of cunchiness with a moist batter and enough sweet to balance the bananas and tart strawberries is an art. You can tell they spent time perfecting that batter. The fruits were super fresh....maybe let the strawberries sit in sugar water for 5 minutes, but that quibble wasn't enough o drop my score. The egged perfectly done as was sausage/hash browns, add some cholula and we are set!! I snagged a bit of my new ogres omelette and it was fluffy and savory, perfectly done. Be prepared for a wait, places like this thrive because of word of mouth. And shoot, we will be back!! read more

I had the Awake omelette, my mom got the skillet and said it was really good, and my sister had the avocado toast. While the avocado toast could have stood to have a few more garnishes on it for some pizzazz, she said it really had good flavor. read more

I really like this simple breakfast eatery. I got the waffle breakfast plate which came with eggs and a choice of breakfast pork product. They do not have Turkey bacon or sausage in place of pork which is a bummer but I got breakfast potatoes in place of the bacon or sausage. First off our server was so kind. I just hoped he would have notified us about paying up at the front after your done eating because my group and I were un-aware since it was our first time there. Anyways I really liked the waffle! It was crispy and light. It wasn't dense and dry. I got my berries on the side. Some of the berries were moldy so I didn't even eat the blueberries which was a bummer. Breakfast potatoes were too salty but the eggs were cooked perfectly. They serve liquid eggs by the way. I may come back for a quick breakfast but my experience here was just okay! read more

Food average at best Eggs we're supposed to be poached hard came out over well. Did not even get a chance to look at the menu and the server was asking if knew what I wanted to order. I literally sat there and listen to her tell everyone her name that she served except me. Also asked a few customers how there day was going and all I got was a menu and do I know what to eat and drink. Never came back to check on me until I was finished with my meal gave me my check and then offered me a refill. Grits bland and tasteless. Never again will I return to this place. read more

Great food and great service... Came here for Barksdale Spirit Day just to support the school and ended up finding a really great breakfast spot. It now has a new name and I believe new owners, so not sure why Yelp is showing reviews for "The Egg and I" under the new name "Awake". My previous review was for when it was called "The Egg and I". The Eggs Benedict looked so good I was jealous that I didn't order it. The scrambled eggs were like the best ever. And, my spinach salad was absolutely delicious. To take it one step higher I'd recommend using grilled chicken breast over whatever you're using now. Andy was air server and she was great because she anticipated our ever need. She was attentive, timely and very pleasant. Next time we come back we will make sure they put us in Andy's section. read more
