The Toasted Yolk gave us a little bit of everything--some hits, some misses, and one bartender who…read moremay have found a new calling. Avocado Toast Let's start with what should be one of the easiest breakfast items on any menu. Avocado toast doesn't need much--fresh avocado, a squeeze of lemon or lime, cracked pepper, sea salt, roasted tomatoes, cilantro, and a little love. Unfortunately, mine arrived with chunky raw onions, a few tomatoes, and not much else. The bright flavors that make avocado toast shine were missing. The sourdough bread, however, was perfectly toasted and had a great texture. Eggs Both dishes were ordered with eggs cooked over hard. Both arrived over easy. That's a simple request that should have been easy to execute. Salmon Benedict Presentation was nice, but the seasoning department apparently took the morning off. Salmon naturally has great flavor, but it still needs something. A squeeze of lemon, a touch of cracked pepper, sea salt, fresh herbs--anything. The salmon was bland, and the hash brown casserole followed the same theme. Breakfast Potatoes We ordered potatoes with grilled onions and received potatoes topped with the same chunky raw onions that appeared on the avocado toast. Not exactly what was expected. Now for the stars of the show... the drinks. The Mimosa was delicious, refreshing, and exactly what brunch should be. The Sidecar deserves special recognition. When the bartender admitted they had to Google how to make it, I became a little nervous. Turns out I had no reason to be. That Sidecar was fantastic and easily the best thing that hit our table all morning. Whoever made it absolutely knocked it out of the park. Final Verdict The Toasted Yolk has potential, but the kitchen needs to become friends with seasoning. The ingredients were there; the flavor was not. A few simple additions--lemon, pepper, salt, herbs, and attention to cooking eggs correctly--would have dramatically improved the experience. Will I return? Yes. The drinks were excellent, the atmosphere was pleasant, and there's enough on the menu to give it another chance. Next visit, I'll be ordering something different and hoping the kitchen brings a little more flavor to the table.

Plenty of indoor seating including the bar area. There are a few tables for outdoor seating as well. Plenty of parking. Hostess seated me. The menu was front and back simple with breakfast items and small section for lunch. Breakfast is their main menu meal. I had coffee and ordered the Belgian waffle that came with fruit and whip topping. The coffee was piping hot anso delicious you can drink it straight. The waffle looked good just was not hot and skimpy on the fruit and whipped topping. It had a nice crispy taste and flavor and was really good just not hot when it arrived. Caroline was my waitress and she had such a pleasant smile and disposition. A very personal person. The way she took care of her customers you could tell she enjoyed her job. She brought me my bill and there was a Big Bad Breakfast postcard attached. Nice touch. Excellent service. I got a coffee to go and it was hot and freshly brewed. The tables were cleaned after each customer, sprayed down, chairs pushed in , tables straightened and fresh silverware placed. Check the time before you go but this is a great place to eat.

After a brief wait, we were escorted to our table and shortly afterward met our server, Taylor. We started with water and coffee while looking over the menu. For my meal, I ordered the Bacon Lover's BLT&A, no Avocado, served with a pickle and country potatoes. The sandwich was tasty and the potatoes complemented the meal without making it overly filling. Taylor added a fun element to the experience. She was quirky, entertaining, and kept the atmosphere relaxed while still staying attentive to the table. Overall, the brunch experience was smooth with no issues. Good food, good service, and a relaxed atmosphere made it an easy choice for a casual brunch stop while in town. Good brunch atmosphere Friendly and entertaining service Well balanced meal portions Quick seating and smooth service flow Solid brunch experience with good food and personable service. A reliable option for a casual breakfast or brunch outing. Recommended.

The grits were ok, but the omelette was AWFUL. I had to send it back. A few people at my table had to send back their coffees as it was cold (like seriously lukewarm). The beignets were hard as bricks. The eggs Benedict was bland. The server was likely new as we had to remind her about items a lot and we were her only table for much of the experience. She was nice tho, as were the other employees. Also parking is free and plentiful. Overall an extremely underwhelming experience and I feel like our money was wasted. I generally like this restaurant (it's a franchise) so I will go to a different location but THIS LOCATION will never see me again.
