Breakfast AF - Delicious breakfast! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

Such a fun breakfast spot! Breakfast AF is definitely not your typical breakfast restaurant! It's counter service with plenty of seating, a huge variety on the menu, plus daily and seasonal specials. The atmosphere is what really makes this place stand out. It has a fun, laid-back retro vibe, and the outdoor patio is AMAZING! There are umbrella-covered tables, horse statues, a Ronald McDonald, a huge water fountain, a couple of TVs, and funky music playing in the background. It's quirky, relaxed, and just plain fun. And the food did not disappoint! The bacon was thick and delicious, the eggs were cooked perfectly, and the pancakes were fluffy with just a hint of vanilla--so good! We'll definitely be back for breakfast, but I'm also looking forward to trying their alternative menu when Breakfast AF transforms into Pizza AF after breakfast. How fun is that?! Definitely worth checking out if you're looking for great food in a fun, unique atmosphere! read more

This was our second time here and it was not as memorable as we remembered. The egg omelets were fluffy and tasted good, but not necessarily worth the wait in line. Cute outdoor area. Cold waitstaff. read more

This place looks small from the outside, but once you enter you see there is more to it than meets the eye. I did see there is a patio out front, then there is a small indoor seating area, but the real space is the back yard/porch. That area is impressive. The place is rather rustic. You order at the counter and they will call you when it's ready. No table service here. You are on your own to get a to go container and such. Usually that wouldn't be a problem, but when you are dining alone, it's kind of hard to go fetch anything. Do you leave your belongings? Do you leave your food? If you need more coffee, how are you going to carry it all? Even to just pick up your food. Do you leave your drink? Will you loose your table if none of your stuff is there? It can be a problem. However the food is delicious and the portions are generous with reasonable prices. I love that there is a section for my vegan friend... I always scan the menus for vegan options so I make informed suggestions if we want to hang out for brunch/lunch or dinner. read more

The food was just marvelous. We heard many great things before we visited. We especially heard about the Bloody Mary topped with spam. Much to our chagrin, our bloodies had no spam, and no garnish whatsoever. And, we'd already gotten our food by the time we got our bloodies because no one informed us that we had to go to the bar & get them ourselves. Why would you expect new customers to know what to do or how your restaurant works & flows? The food, however, did not disappoint one bit. My breakfast empanadas were one pointe & my hubs loved his bacon croissant. Potatoes were seasoned just right. We'll be back with a much better idea of what to expect next time. read more

Great variety of made to order meals! We ordered the chicken n waffles, a make your own omelet, and a breakfast platter with pancake. The breakfast platter was unimpressive with unseasoned eggs and a way overcooked hockey puck like sausage patty. The skillet potatoes were crisp & lightly seasoned and an item to repeat. The side pancake was fluffy and huge, we took most of it to go. The roasted tomatoes in the omelet and the chicken sausage were amazing pops of flavor along with perfectly cooked omelet. My daughter loved the chicken & waffles! Efficient order at counter system and plenty of seating indoors & out! read more

THIS IS HOW BREAKFAST IS DONE! I'm always looking for the local flavor that stands out among the crowd and Breakfast AF (cool name btw), really held true to their brand. Situated an easy drive from downtown, and part of the Schnitzeltown are of Louisville, this apparently was a legacy deli counter back in the heyday and the original corner Hauck's deli sign is still visible. The expansion seems to include a few bars, a pizza joint, breakfast joint, and a revised deli with a smoker actively going at the end of the complex. And it is complex... we sat out front on the patio of the breakfast joint since we had the pup with us, but had I known how large the rear patio was, we would've chosen to sit back there away from the road traffic. I the menu is straightforward... the fare is on the higher side of breakfast pricing, but the portions are enormous and I easily made two meals off my sandwich and home fries. Speaking of which... get it... wich... okay fine. I chose the fried chicken/bacon/egg sandwich on Texas toast and it was... substantial. I added home fries, but honestly, the sandwich was a meal on and of itself. The two succulent chicken tenders exploded with flavor of a distinctive savoriness and that flavor peaked when I dipped them in maple syrup (they have a dispenser next to the coffee pots). The egg and bacon were perfectly cooked, complemented each other well, and the buttery toast just pulled it all together. My wife chose the shrimp-n-grits and that was just a flavor bomb with every bite. Savory grits with the slightly sweet shrimp, topped with smoked pork belly, and drizzled with a chili crisp oil that simply overwhelmed the tastebuds with every bite. It's a line order with pagers, so place your order, grab a table, and the coffee/water is self serve over across from order pickup. The back patio is open air, expansive, and spans the entirety of the multi space front buildings. There's even a soft surface children's playground behind the new deli. I was just absolutely astounded and definitely want to make it back to try their lunch fare next time I'm in town! read more

This place is great!!! We came on a friend's recommendation and it was delicious. First of all looks can be deceiving, the place looks tiny but they have plenty of seating in the back. It's like 3 business combined seating areas and you should be able to find a spot inside or outside here. Great ambiance for kids and a calm chill vibe. There's even a playground as well For food I opted for the bacon croissant sandwich. It's was verrrrry good. Thick crispy bacon paired with a delicious aoili on a butter croissant. What more can you ask for??? I also got the orange juice which was freshly squeezed. Loved it read more

So 5 stars may be overkill for this spot. The Indian inspired avocado toast was good and had some good Indian inspired spices paired with the egg and naan. The bread pudding French Toast though was unexpectedly incredible. Perfect amount of sweetness with a very creamy soft center and crispy exterior in addition to a luxurious homemade whipped cream. The restaurant is mostly self service and also has a nice, casual vibe. read more

We had been wanting to try this place for awhile and it was suggested for Mother's Day! Parking was definitely an issue but we caught someone pulling out. The line was out the door, so it took us about 30 minutes to be able to place an order. You're given a buzzer and you pick up your food. We weren't prepared for how huge the place was outside! Plenty of seating and they had at least three bars for you to de order drinks. We ordered the empanadas and shrimp and grits and both were absolutely divine! The empanadas had a chipotle aioli that was sooooo good! My husbands shrimp in his grits were cooked to perfection. Overall amazing experience. I take a star off for that line! Given the size of the place there should be at least two places to place an order, given that there's three bars! read more

This is a super fun brunch spot connected to Hauck's in Germantown. The back patio has games, awesome decor, and plenty of seating. This is a great spot to have summer brunch. The brunch cocktails are incredible, especially the Cinnamon Toast. The food was very solid and the portions are huge. The avocado toast was cold but I think it may have been intentional. Empanadas tasted fresh and the pancakes were the right level of sweetness. Super friendly staff. We will be back! read more

Great spot! Delicious food, not bad service for a Saturday morning. The food quality was definitely worth any wait.

My family and I visited on an early Sunday afternoon. It was moderately busy, so I was pleasantly surprised to see a playground for kids. For my drink, I ordered the Screwed AF and very much enjoyed it. For my late breakfast, I ordered a side of cheese grits. It was the perfect size and absolutely delicious. I also had a bite of my daughter's pancake and enjoyed that too. Between the playground, fountain, and TV playing sports, the patio was such a vibe. It was the perfect spot for our family get together. read more

Look, if you're the type of person who wakes up hangry and wants your eggs yesterday, this might not be your place. But if you're down to sip some solid coffee, soak up some shade, and contemplate whether your grandkids are cuter than the other patio kids (they are), then welcome to Breakfast AF, aka the brunch spot your whole family didn't know they needed. We were expecting parking chaos, but the brunch gods smiled upon us and BAM--spot right up front. I assume this was a miracle, so don't count on it, but it can happen. Ordering was quick and easy--love that for us--but the food took a while to arrive. Not a dealbreaker though, because the patio is shaded and we were too caffeinated to care. Great place for kids to play if you bring them along. Speaking of food: we had the American breakfast with bacon, a croissant, and eggs over medium--and let me just say, they nailed those eggs. Rare is the restaurant that doesn't undercook them like it's a dare or overcook them into rubbery disappointment. But here? Perfection. Bacon crispy, croissant flaky, and I may or may not have considered licking the plate but remembered I'm a grandparent now and should set an example. The whole vibe is like a brunch commune surrounded by carbs: Pizza AF next door, ice cream a few steps away. I could very easily spend half a day here with my adult kids and grandkids. It's like a family-friendly hangout zone disguised as a breakfast spot. In short: Family-friendly Cute patio with shade Eggs over medium victory Name that makes your mom go "What does AF mean?" Will return. Might try the pizza. Might never leave. read more

Not quite 4 stars. Maybe 3.75 stars. My friend and I came for breakfast on a Monday morning. You order at the counter, then they give you a buzzer. Coffee is self serve. They have half and half and alt milks which was impressive. Service was good. They asked if we had been in before and gave us the rundown. Even gave us their recs. I ordered black coffee and the chicken and waffles while my friend got oj with chicken and waffles as well. The coffee is just okay. Kinda watered down but did the job. The chicken and waffles were okay. The waffle is cooked pretty crispy...almost too crispy. And the chicken is just tenders with a light breading. It wasn't dry. The syrup on the side kinda soaks into the waffle to the point where you can't even tell it's there. Just not the most satisfying meal. Could be more flavorful for the price. No really memorable. They do have a ton of seating though. The front room is small. But the back area and patio area is large. It shares with Hauck's. Parking is parallel. Easy. I found parking across from it. read more

Went on a Saturday morning around 9am. Order at the counter. Plenty of seating inside. Went outside and a lot of tables were filled but still plenty of room. Waited about 15 minutes for our food to come. The smoky bacon croissant was amazing. Also really Enjoyed the French toast and hashbrown side. Highly recommend. Nice breakfast spot where kids can run around. read more

We were actually not prepared for the line nor the ordering process, it took about 15 minutes to get inside where the place is well air conditioned and another 10 to order. You self serve your beverages and you receive a number and wait for your order to be delivered. It is always a journey when traveling with me since I am not only vegan but also have allergies to soy, sesame and peanuts. So I have to be cautious 30 minute wait for meal was a bit long however it is not fast food which I appreciate but I guess I would visit somewhere else if I have limited time. A word to the wise they do not validate parking here so look for street parking if you don't want to pay 8 dollars an hour The meal was yummy. I ordered the vegan empanadas, they were very filling, the guacamole was excellent with just a touch of pepper which is perfect for a morning meal. My sister ordered a pancake, eggs and potatoes and she was pleased with the flavor. I was disappointed I could not order the steel cut oatmeal, but the brown sugar and glazed walnuts are mixed into the oats making that an option I couldn't choose read more

Asked for medium poached eggs and they came out soupy. Asked to redo and then they were hard as a rock. Bacon - one piece was almost burnt and the other barely cooked. The toast was maybe swiped with a little butter- could hardly tell. Cute place - nice people. I would try again but not for breakfast. read more

The food is good. I'll start with that off the bat. It knows how to blend flavors pretty well. I take issue with the portion size and pricing. Seems a little over priced for a croissant with spam and no sides. Drinks are also on the pricier side for some reason. Lines are usually long and the service is ok. It's just a counter where you order and pickup. Like I said, not worth the price especially since you're already doing most of the self serve stuff yourself. Ambiance is best part about it. Connected to Haucks and other places in the back. Good for families and kids. read more

First off. The patio here is to die for - best one I've found in Louisville! The food was genuinely really good, even in my simple waffle order! The whipped cream it came with was definitely home made and delicious! The wait was a bit long but staff were so nice, friendly, and accommodating, making it worth it. I can't wait to come back and try more soon! read more

Food was ok didn't like my coffee at all. Just didn't taste like anything. Sandwiches were good from the other party but that is about it.

We went a while ago and enjoyed it- now the portions have gone down, pricing up and there are so many other places to go. read more

Breakfast AF - Shrimp & grits - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

Breakfast AF has one of the best patios in Louisville, it's huge, breezy, and allows for private conversations and child play without feeling crowded. Having been here before and being amazed I will say this second trip was less amazing than the first. The menu options are just as exciting as their affiliate restaurants Pizza AF and Baked AF. The kegs, potatoes, cinnamon sweets all make your mouth salivate. The pancake is great, it absorbs syrup so well and holds a sweet flavor. My favorite thing is the potatoes, literally any potato from this place tastes like well crafted and like they enjoyed doing it. The eggs today fell flat, I don't expect much. But when the eggs taste like the box a liquid they came out of its more difficult to respect a scrambled egg. The sausage was tough, I think a dog would have a hard time enjoying it. The potatoes and pancake really save the breakfast and their amazing drink cooler selection. I love an Energy V8 and this is one of the only place I know that has it as a drink cooler option. I think this was an off day experience, not disappointing enough to give up on. I would give it a 3 but I know they can do better. read more

I recently came here for the first time and oh my goodness so so good! I've been wanting to try it for a while but it seems like there's always a line when I try. But now I know why there's always a crowd The food was delicious! I had eggs, bacon, toast, and a few of their special hash browns (cheddar and bacon). I had a peach mimosa to go along with it and my friend had a fried chicken breakfast sandwich with a cranberry mimosa. Instead of being seated and having someone take your order, you just order at the front and receive a buzzer so you can pick up your food when it's ready. The outdoor seating is great, lots of seating inside and covered inside a patio. There's even a playground area for kids. The only downfall is some of outdoor area isn't covered so when you walk out with your food you do get a little wet. But I believe they're working on that so everything will be covered. Can't wait go back! Staff were all super friendly! read more

What a unique place! It's a small and cozy place in the heart of Germantown. Food was great too! We went on a Saturday morning and thankfully it was not terribly busy. You have to stand in line to place your order and then retrieve it when ready. I ordered a simple all American breakfast of eggs bacon potato kegs and a croissant. Tasty and hot the spot. I want to come back soon and try something more adventurous. My only comment is that they have good bread, and specifically croissants and brioche. They need to have some better jam choices. The only option was grape jelly in a squeeze packet. Potato keg is interesting. It's like a tater tot but filled with a cheesy oniony mashed potato type filling. My husband got the shrimp and grits and it might have been one of the best ones we've ever had. Just delicious. Salty with the seasoning and bacon, then finished with something sweet. I think maple syrup? Yall gotta try this place. Worth the drive! read more

I got the chicken bacon croissant. The chicken was crispy, but the meat was kind of chewy. The bacon had some honey on it, which was the best part. I substituted a croissant instead of Texas toast, which was recommended, but the croissant was basic -nothing special. Atmosphere is good and service was quick. Don't think I'll go out of my way to go back for breakfast. read more

Very trendy place with TONS of seating great for groups and kids of all ages. Out back they have corn hole and a play ground.

My husband and I stopped in on New Years Day, surprised there was hardly a line - when I was here back in June there was a line a mile long that we waited in, but I guess most people were still in bed from the night before. When we walked in the dining room was full but after we ordered we found there is additional seating out back, you just must walk outside and around the corner to enter an enclosed patio with a fire pit that leads into a dining area. Despite the frigid temperatures it was warm inside. Coffee and Water are self-served, they will give you a coffee cup when you order it so it's not free, so we helped ourselves and went and found a seat. I walked back inside to wait at the "bar" - it's a little drink station to wait for the Mudslide I ordered, which is not blended. It has Chocolate Baileys, Evan Williams Burbon, Coffee Liquor, Cream, and it's topped with Whipped cream, Chocolate Syrup and Candies. It's very fun to say the least. It was good, however much too sweet for my taste, even with the bourbon. We probably waited about 10 minutes for our food to be ready. I ordered the Sausage "Corndogs" and my husband got the Shrimp and Grits. The corndogs were so good, the batter was light a fluffy and comes with syrup on the side. The order comes with 3 which I was honestly surprised for the price. The Shrimp and Grits was huge and full of Cajun flavor that came with 6 shrimp. a poached egg, charred corn with a bacon and bourbon sauce on top of a bed of white cheddar & Mascarpone Cheese Grits. YUM! If you have never been I highly recommend giving this business a try! read more

This is a walk up to order breakfast place but wait staff brings your food to the table. The day we're there the line was out the door. It was worth standing in line! Everyone at our table was happy with their food. I had the empanadas and they were very tasty. My dear friend loved that a pancake was an actual bread "choice" and not an add on (although you certainly could add pancakes to any order ). The cocktails were generous in size and they had some very interesting options for the month. There is indoor and outdoor seating which is hard to tell just by looking at the small store front. read more

For those with ADHD and won't read past the first sentence...this place is a 9.5/10!!! For those who read more than the first sentence...this is a service counter restaurant with no servers. You order at the window, take a buzzer, get your drinks and find somewhere to sit. We (a party of 4) showed up around 11 on a Sunday morning and the line was already out the door. We had a hard time deciding what to order because everything we saw coming out before us looked just as delicious as the last. After the owner greeted us and gave a run down while in line, we settled on the shrimp and grits, steak and eggs, bread pudding french toast with a side of bacon, and a chicken and bacon croissant sandwich. (I wanted to order the biscuits and gravy weekend feature but they were already sold out.) The girl at the register was polite but very soft spoken so we had trouble hearing what she said. The coffee was the perfect temperature for drinking immediately without scalding yourself, and the different flavorings and types of milk/cream to choose from was a major plus! There were no complaints about any of our food except the steak was a bit under seasoned. I had the french toast, and, in my opinion, is enough for 2 people. There was a bit too much whipped buttercream for me but I was able to rake off majority, and the fruit that came on top was so fresh! The bacon was thick sliced and 3 of my 4 pieces were cooked perfectly to my liking - not too crispy, not too soft! We all were part of the clean plate club after eating because the food was that good! I wished now we would have taken pics of our food before eating! It's a shame it came up as #16 on my Yelp search because it wasn't even the least bit on my radar for our breakfast spot. But luckily, the tag line, "The second best thing you can do in the morning", caught the attention of one our male guests Definitely will be back when the chance arises! read more

Ordered the All American breakfast (over medium eggs) with bacon and multi-grain toast. The eggs were overcooked by a mile. Over hard. Bacon was crispy but too thick for my liking, but I know that's just a personal preference. Toast was barely toasted. It was really just bread; no satisfying crunch. Too many tables inside makes it almost impossible to move around without shimmying and changing directions with every step. Potatoes were good. That's it. read more

What a cute restaurant. We came in and ordered then ventured off to the back where they have their full patio that's connected to a bunch of different businesses. We got a number of different things to cry. Starting with the spam and egg sandwich, it was so good! I could only finish half the sandwich without getting too full to try the rest. But I definitely had it for dinner and it did not disappoint. My husband got the burrito and mentioned that it was a fullll burrito because you needed both hands to eat it but it was really flavorful as well. We tried the pancake corndogs, which were a bit tooo sweet for me. I did wish that it came as nuggets instead of a full dog because it would've been able to enjoy it more. The last item we got was the stuff potato tots. Those boys were loaded and full of flavor they were super crispy but definitely hearty. Overall we had a great experience, parking is street parking and complimentary. The food does take a while since they make everything fresh but is worth the wait. read more
