    Churro French Toast and Ranchero Skillet
    Leslie C.

    Broken Yolk Cafe is my favorite brunch place that has me thinking about it days and months after! Parking lot is packed when its busy. The wait is usually short if there is any at all even when busy. There is both booth and table seating available. The churro french toast is unlike anything else out of all the brunch places I've been to. It's the fluffiest and sweetest. The cream cheese icing is amazing with the cinnamon and sugar. The whip cream starts sliding off since the toast comes out hot, but it definitely pairs well with the icing, syrup, and french toast. The ranchero skillet comes with sauteed potatoes and egg on top. It was a good size for singular brunch or sharing! The french toast qualifies to be the best I've ever had. Absolutely unforgettable and on the top of my brunch favorites!

    Chilaquiles Bowl with asada
    Michelle G.

    Went on Mother's Day, so it was a very busy day. Service was okay overall, but the servers took a long time to check on us throughout the meal. The food was okay, but definitely not what I expected for the price we paid. The Nutella crepes had almost no flavor -- there was only a small drizzle of Nutella on top and very little inside. The matcha latte was okay, but I've had much better elsewhere. The chilaquiles barely had any sauce, and the asada looked more like ground beef. Overall, the food and experience did not live up to the hype or the price.

    Mimosa flight

    Can't go wrong with a good brunch spot! They have a large variety of brunch options from eggs Benedict, classic breakfast, pancakes, to lunch options such as burgers, salads, and soups. They also have a wide drink offering from coffee selections, smoothies, to of course mimosa flights! I got the golden state Benedict which was my favorite combination of bacon, avocado, tomato, and poached egg. I did ask for the sriracha on the side so I can control how much I get in each bite & it was delicious! They offer both indoor and outdoor seating. Overall, large clean open space with a modern feel to it. Our server was friendly and the service was fairly quick despite it being packed when I went. There is parking in front of the restaurant but it can get filled up really quickly during peak brunch hours!

    Came here on a Saturday morning at 11am. The parking lot is pretty tight and hard to find parking. We ended up parking elsewhere and walked. We were able to add ourselves on the Yelp Waitlist so that was helpful! Food and service were good. The Machaca was pretty good and the breakfast trio I tried came with a tiki toast, French toast, and cinnamon pancake. Yum!

    Great and popular breakfast spot. Cute diner vibes. An extensive menu of scrambles, omelets, toasts, burgers, and yogurts. I got the meat skillet and loved it! The server Megan was very kind and accommodating.

    This is the best Broken Yolk Cafe I've been to. My lady friend and I were very happy with our food and service. Megan really took care of us. Seh was so nice. She was eager to answer any questions we may have. We both loved our food too.

    Classic Eggs Benedict & Golden State Benedict
    Nikki S.

    As soon as I walked in the door I was greeted, taken to a table, my drink order was taken and immediately delivered. My server, Gabriel was very busy yet came right away, introduced himself and welcomed me. It's a nice place, clean and looking at the counter everyone had a smile while working together. You're able to mix the eggs Benedict so I ordered the Classic which was okay, my eggs were a little undercooked but the hollandaise was pretty good. The Golden State was my favorite with that touch of sriracha and the egg cooked perfectly. In season fruit was sweet and I was checked on regularly. The price was not bad at all for what I experienced. This was a far better experience from what I had at the Palm Springs establishment so I was pretty pleased.

    Thomas S.

    Excellent service at this place! Megan our server was so attentive and nice. Our food was really good as well- I got the machacas and it was so good. Very crowded so make reservations!

    Good Morning Burger
    Ayden P.

    What I Ordered Golden State Benedict ($17.95) Sweet Trio ($17.45) Good Morning Burger ($16.95) Strawberry & Banana Smoothie ($9.25) Blueberry & Banana Smoothie ($9.25) Food: Broken Yolk Cafe is one of my favorite brunch spots in all of Orange County. I loved the Golden State Benedict, which came with grilled tomato, avocado, bacon, poached eggs, on an English muffin with hollandaise sauce and sriracha. Every bite was full of flavor thanks to the creamy and savory hollandaise sauce. All of the fresh ingredients matched well with the applewood-smoked bacon that was thick and juicy. The Sweet Trio lets you try a slice of each of their most popular toasts: Tiki Toast, Crunchy French Toast, and Cinna-Cake. All of these are very sweet, but also great brunch/dessert foods! My favorite was the Good Morning Burger, which came 1/2 lb beef, sunny side up eggs, bacon, cheese and more. The quality of the beef was absolutely incredible, and it paired very well with the bacon and eggs. It was as if breakfast and lunch had a perfect dab with each other. Staff: All of he staff members were quick and friendly. Ambiance: Huge indoor seating area along with a few seats outside. The parking lot is a bit small, but there is a plaza with a bigger lot across the street.

    Chilaquiles Bowl French toast
    Pawan S.

    Overall this place is always good but not amazing. I've been a few times, their service is nice and the food comes out relatively quick. The food was a solid 8/10. I think next time I will go I will try something more sweet and maybe I will like that more. But would definitely recommend but maybe don't go on a weekend because I heard the waits times get really long.

    Huevos Rancheros
    Selina T.

    Chris was an awesome server , very informative and kind throughout our visit! The food was just okay overall. The crepes could've used more Nutella since they were a bit on the dry side, and the French toast tasted slightly salty. The rancheros were decent, but I wasn't a huge fan of the rice. That said, it was still a nice outing for my family and me. The Messy Caramel drink was great too, although the outside of the cup was definitely a little messy.

    Mimosa Flight, Nutella Crepe, Ranchero Skillet, American Breakfast
    Julie V.

    Looking for a new brunch spot in OC? Broken Yolk Cafe has several locations, and we checked out the Buena Park one. It's spacious, and we were surprised that there was little to no wait for brunch on a Saturday. Their menu has the classics, from breakfast to brunch and lunch. We ordered the mimosa flight (strong!), iced coffee, an American breakfast, the ranchero skillet, and Nutella crepes. The skillets are a must-try. The ranchero skillet was packed with fried potatoes, chorizo, and cheese. If you're into hearty, savory brunch, this one delivers. Shoutout to our waitress, Mariela, who was incredibly kind and sweet! She made the whole experience even better. The entire staff was friendly and welcoming.

    Hawaiian Bread French Toast
    Russ L.

    Met a friend from out of town brunch. This is my first time here. Very busy location since its across Knotts Berry Farm. I highly recommend to getting on the waitlist online especially on weekends. Service was a bit all over the place, it didn't bother us that much though. We understand its the holiday weekend. Food though was on point. The lattes and coffee are very strong. The Hawaiian Bread French Toast was a guilty pleasure and the Golden State Eggs Benedict was perfect. The experience was good, not amazing but I still would like to try and come back at another location, preferably near my home.

    Can we bring a cake for a birthday celebration?

    I would be a bit surprised if you could, it doesn't seem to be that type of place. However, if you call ahead and ask I'm sure they might allow it.

    Do you have bottomless mimosas?

    Hi Jenevie, We do not offer bottomless mimosas, but check out our amazing mimosa flight and Bloody Mary flight!

    Coke or Pepsi?

    Hi Jon, We carry Pepsi products.

    Do they take reservations?

    Is this location dog friendly? like their other locations?

Although CJ's was a much better restaurant from 1977-2005 when privately run by the Nickoloff family and took another quality hit when the otherwise excellent Landry's chain took over in 2010, the remaining locations, including this one, are still decent sit down, casual, and family dining restaurants. After visiting several times for lunch and dinner on both weekdays and weekends during both peak and non-peak hours, in our opinion, Yelpers who have complained about poor service both from servers and seaters as well as the seats being run down have not had a typical experience here. Although getting seated was a little slow on several of our visits, the people who seated did not have a bad attitude and on a few occasions it was our server. Although several of our servers here were friendly and attentive, Austin on our last visit, really did a good job. This is one of the only remaining CJ's that still has a salad bar and we have gotten it on several visits. We have also had the ribs and chicken pot pie at this location as well as some of their cocktails. Although it is sad that soup is no longer included in the salad bar, the food quality is still good and comparable to other renaming CJ locations such as in San Diego and Vegas (Henderson). This CJ's is located in a strip mall with limited parking and is across the street from Knott's Berry Farm. Parking can be difficult and the spaces are small, but we have always been able to find a spot so far. There are several other good restaurants in the area, but if you are visiting Knott's and want a sit down, casual, and family dining experience, this CJ's is a good choice and better than eating at Knott's--CJ's chicken pot pie is bigger and better than Mrs. Knott's Chicken Dinner Restaurant. The 3.1 current Yelp average for this CJ's location is too low--it should be a 4 star. It cannot be a 5 star unless the return to the former quality and quantity the restaurant had under the Nickoloff family.

Unfortunately my meal was nothing like my kids. I ordered plain avocado toast. The first time it was brought out the eggs weren't in correct. Our server was kind and said she would have them remake it. I was hoping they actually would remake it because the avocado in the toast makes the bread soggy. The second time my plate was brought out it was the same toast eggs made correctly. As I cut my toast I noticed it was soggy and there was a hair on my plate. The manager was kind and did not hesitate to take it back. I was offered a fresh meal or a nee plate but my appetite was completely gone. Overall the service wasn't bad, I'm not sure what went wrong. Lesson to learn here. Check your food & have the waiters read back your order.
