We walked in and the atmosphere was nice but the size was very small. We were seated immediately and placed our orders. I ordered the shrimp and grits and my wife ordered the chicken sandwich and my kids ate the french fries with chicken strips. The prices on the menu were inflated but we were hungry so we just ordered our food. The food came out pretty fast and was hot and fresh. My wife liked her chicken sandwich and the kids like the french fries and chicken tenders. My shrimp and grits however was lackluster. It lacks flavor and was spicy. I do like spicy food and I don't mind Spicy shrimp and grits but the grits were definitely not flavorful. They were very bland and it seemed like the spice was covering up the flavor of the grits. I also had the crab soup which was OK but not enough crab in it. We also had mozzarella sticks for an appetizer which was amazing! I have to say they were the best mozzarella sticks I've had in quite a long time. The mozzarella sticks were definitely the star of the show.Overall the meal was OK but nothing to write home about. read more

Good food and great service. I would recommend. Give it a should folks. Ambiance is ok.

Tried for the first time because the kids wanted the milkshakes. We got lunch - not one of us (7 of us) had a bad meal - everyone loved their food. Shrimp and grits, fish and chips, fried shrimp, crab cake sandwich and Caribbean spiced fish. The fish was amazing with a super fresh mango salsa and the sautéed zucchini side was amazing. We will definitely be back read more

Amazing Caribbean Flare! Ate here while on vacation in the OBX and made a last minute reservation, the staff was very friendly and accommodating. Dinning room is a little small so don't try to walk up unless you're ready to wait, but it IS worth the wait. Jerk Chicken wings had an amazing kick and beautiful flavor. The seared diver scallop appetizer was packed full of incredible flavor, sweet, salty, smoky, just a beautifully rounded dish. Had the coconut shrimp and scallops as my entree and it was very good. If you like bourbon you cant miss out on the smoked old fashioned, it comes to the table smoking!!! Loved this place!!! read more

This was a great find. Small place with great food. I had the chicken avocado sandwich. It had a great, light spicy flavor. My husband enjoyed the grilled crab cheese sandwich. Clean place with great service. read more

Waited at our table for an hour watching others that came after us get served their appetizers and then their main courses while we just ordered milkshakes that didn't arrive. read more

Food was delicious and fresh. Great variety, friendly service. Our party had scallops, fried shrimp, fish and chips, coconut shrimp, crab dip, and loved it all! read more

The food here is FANTASTIC!! We loved everything we got and would highly recommend the shrimp and grits, coconut shrimp and scallops, wings and strawberry shortcake bubble waffle! Our waiter was amazing and helped make our experience a lot of fun. Only drawback is that the restaurant space leaves much to be desired... The food and pricing are more mid to high end fare whereas the restaurant space suggests a more low to mid range bar atmosphere. The tables were very cramped and we were consistently bumped or needing to move ourselves by passing patrons or waiters. This restaurant would be one of the best in the area if they just rethought the dining room layout and upgraded their decor, furniture, etc to match the phenomenal food and beverages. read more

Had breakfast here our first day in the OBX. Breakfast tacos and Crab cakes Benedict were fantastic. The crab cakes were generous with sweet crab meat and the hollandaise sauce was delicious. As an additional side, the grits were also on point. The chocolate chip pancakes were double thumbs up from our kiddos, too. read more

Food was not good. Fish and chips were dry and tasteless and served with tarter sauce in plastic cups were you peel the top to open. At least put it in a ramekin or small stainless cup for presentation. Chicken tenders were over cooked and rubbery and crab legs were terrible with movie theater style butter on the side . Not sure how this place has 4.5 stars. read more

Broken Plate Kitchen is a spectacular restaurant! If I would have found this restaurant sooner, in my vacation, I would have had every meal here! Service, food, and drinks are all out of this world. Big shout out to Milan for being an amazing waiter! Broken Plate Kitchen, you all rock! Keep up the terrific work! read more

Broken Plate Kitchen - Strawberry Cheesecake Milkshake - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Corolla, North Carolina

This is the first poor review that I have ever left. The one star rating is not accurate because Yelp would not let me use zero stars or negative stars.We had the rudest waitress in 45 years of eating at an establishment. Be sure to read the menu well. We were seated before 4pm and the menu has different sides for some meals after 4pm than before 4pm. After problems with the food we were served, our waitress never came back. We had to get our check from another waitress. I can only hope they go out of business. We will NEVER be back ! read more

excellent! Pricey, but delish! Only 4 scallops for dinner plate , but cooked perfectly. Shrimp and grits also excellent. Specialty drinks are amazing. Great meal, great service. read more

Tiny restaurant with big flavor! The she crab soup and the scallops were delicious. Definitely save room for one of their milkshakes! The pineapple sauce with the fish and coconut shrimp was incredible! I give them 4.5 stars. read more

Party of five stopped here on 9/14/22 ordered breakfast. 3 people received their food. The other two waited and waited, finally asked where the food was. Waitress didn't know as they use a food runner. They bring out one more dish gave it to the wrong person then took it back to give to the right person. The fifth person was told they missed the order, within seconds they returned with a dish that she did not order and then were angry when she wouldn't accept it. As the other members of the party had finished eating she told the waitress never mind she didn't want anything , however didn't not want to pay for the coffee. The waitress came back and said they would not comp the coffee and if she didn't pay for it the waitress would have to. We asked for the manager and she refused to come over. We did pay for the coffee. Two wrongs don't make a right. read more

Decided to pop by for a quick lunch and it did not disappoint! The Rasta pasta was amazing! Their drinks were also delicious! Staff was very friendly and I love they have a little icecream shop connected that belongs to them as well super cute! Definitely worth a try if you are in the area. read more

Saw the good reviews on Yelp and made a reservation. Food was great...service was just as good.

Excellent food and cozy atmosphere. Recommend the clam chowder. Carribean fish. Desserts look amazing. Too full to try. read more

Broken Plate Kitchen - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Corolla, North Carolina

My pan jerk chicken wing was raw it was still bleeding I'm telling Gordon Ramsey about this

We went to The Broken Plate last night for the first time -- had a couple appetizers and drinks. The wings were crispy, well-seasoned and delicious, and the seared scallops with the mango and bacon salsa were outstanding. Owners Anna and Sean are warm and welcoming, making the place feel like home, and Wilson the bartender is friendly and attentive. Can't wait to sample the rest of the menu. I highly recommend this spot as a new dining/drinking option in Corolla!! read more

I would give this place 0 stars if I could. The hostess stand was very inefficient and had a rude demeanor. I was told for my group of 6 that I could be seated outside right away (Still waited 15 minutes to be seated) when she showed us to our table and it was two separate tables that a group of 4 could sit at and then another table could hold 2. We asked if we could at least combine the tables, she said no they had to stay separated. She didn't even apologize for the inconvenience that my group couldn't sit together and she also didn't disclaim that to me initially when I first asked about the wait time for 6. Food is very mediocre, everything was pretty dry. Then they applied an automatic gratuity of 18% because we were a large party even though WE DIDN'T SIT TOGETHER. This place is very poorly managed, and the food is not worth even waiting one minute. read more

We were the first order of the day. We ordered two hot coffees, one with cream and one black. They had to process our payment twice and we waited 35 minutes for this incredibly simple order. Finally, the hostess returned with 2 ICED coffees, one with whipped cream (ew?) and one black. As you can see in the picture, the fresh seasonal fruits were 4 strawberries in a soup cup. Terrible service and they completely messed up the order. Will never return again. read more

Broken Plate Kitchen - Fresh seasonal fruit--4 strawberries for $4 :/ - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Corolla, North Carolina

This place was absolutely wonderful. The second I walked in the door I was greeted with a friendly welcoming. While my first impression was that it was very tight and small it was surprising open. I came with a family of 15 and there were other people in the restaurant as well and our food still came out in great time. Mind you the food was delicious. I highly recommend the jerk chicken and jerk salmon they make a very good jerk sauce considering I am from Jamaica. All in all this was a wonderful restaurant. read more

I went with 2 of my besties for breakfast today. We all loved our food! I had the crab cake eggs Benedict, one had the French toast and the other quinoa power bowl...all delicious!! read more

Cool, cozy place with good food and good music. Elevated egg sandwich was great. Tots are amazing. My husband's biscuit was burnt on the bottom a bit :( read more

Horrible less than 20 people in there 2 servers and no one even came to take our order for 25 mins we left not a word from anyone. Yall need to do better. There were two other tables that were waiting for their checks for over 15 mins. Everyone that worked there did not know what they were doing read more

, waitresses brought the wrong thing to our table, took forever to get water, food overall was very bad. Very bad experience for overpriced food read more

Was a little skeptical based on appearance but the food was amazing and the staff was very friendly.

This is a great little restaurant. Friendly and accommodating staff. Warm and fun atmosphere. The food is fantastic! We came here for breakfast, but they have lunch and dinner menus as well. My wife got the French toast and I got the breakfast tacos. So good! read more

My family and I came in and were welcomed by a lovely young lady. The space is small and adorable with upbeat music. I ordered the tropical tacos with Mahi Mahi which were 10/10 delicious! Highly recommend visiting this place if you're in Corolla. read more

My husband and I ate dinner here 2 times while vacationing in Corolla. One time we both got the crab cake sandwich. It was excellent! I took mine off the bun to eat. The flavor and texture was excellent. The 2nd time I got the coconut shrimp and scollops. It was very tasty. My husband got the fish and chips. He said it was very good too. Our waiter wasn't very good that night but it wasn't real bad. The one thing I could say that needs improvement is the dining area. It needs some sprucing up. Some scrubbing and paint would help. read more

Good food, excellent service - best I've eaten at in Corolla. We ate here last summer and the food was incredible then too. Consistently high quality food! read more

Another great meal at Broken Plate. They're celebrating 1 yr anniversary, swing on by and grab some good food. Newly renovated with a bar, much success for 2022. read more

Seafood plates and service were a 5 - out of the water fresh. Perfectly fried. Absolutely delicious. Lack of air conditioning ... and terrible over-abundance of flies ... were a 1, so I'm averaging. read more

Small place but it was super busy. We had reservations for 12 of us ladies. Food was awesome and our waitress was very nice. I believe we all had some sort of seafood. My coconut shrimp and scallops were to die for and I loved the sweet spicy Caribbean style dipping sauce that came with it. The she-crab soup was very tasty. The size of the servings were very generous also. All in all our group loved the food and would go again. American and Caribbean fusion. Awesome. read more

This place is really not good- I am surprised by all the good reviews. The services was unfriendly and food was really bland. Not coming back read more

First the restaurant was very cold, other tables were complaining too. Had several servers working but once you ordered no one checked back with you for refills or anything. Had to get ketchup, salt and pepper from table beside us. From the reviews we expecting much better food than we received. It was ok but nothing to recommend. Getting a check and paying took a long time as well. Overall a disappointing breakfast. read more

Let me begin by saying all the images and pictures on yelp's website is inaccurate. As well, do not go by the Google reviews and they are inaccurate as well. Please please please save your money and go elsewhere. The quality and service is no good. My family came here over the weekend and was displeased. The food quality is absolutely wonderful quality, and the cooks are subpar with little knowledge of culinary food adequacy. Something very peculiar is happening in this business, as there were patrons going in and out- young and old very suspicious not quite sure if they were buying food or something else. This business appears to be untrustworthy. And the service, they act and behave in a manner that makes you feel that you should be so lucky as to dine in the restaurant. Chicken wings were raw, crabcake sandwich that my wife ordered was not of high-quality it was small mushy and wet, and the kids burger was dried to cardboard like level. Beware! Shady place and food is junk! read more

We went to 2 other restaurants that turned us away an hour and a half before the posted closing time, but this place, under staffed, happily seated us. The food was fantastic and the service was impeccable. Highly recommended because they took care of everyone else that walked in after us as well. Can't wait to come back again for breakfast! read more

Amazing food that is thoughtfully prepared and well plated. Food was fresh and with a party of 5, everyone loved their food. I had the crab cake sandwich that had no filler and great flavor. Others in my party had the fish and chips, scallops, porcini fish and surf and turf. Everyone was pleased with the quality, freshness, and flavor. We will definitely be back! read more
