Had a great brunch here yesterday. I had a California Benedict, which was just the right size, and the eggs were cooked perfectly. Mom had a Californian Omelette, which was great, cooked well, but was a bit too large for her - we took the rest home and I had it the next day. I had a diet soda, Mom had a Bloody Mary. They have a choice of bloodies, with different faux alcohol. The mix and the veggies were great, the alcohol was meh. The big booth table was hard to get our feet around. Staff was friendly, atmosphere was pleasant, we ran into a friend there. read more

I'm not a certified public accountant, but I know bad business when I see it. It makes no sense to refuse service to someone for bringing in a 5 dollar coffee and lose out on 50 dollars worth of food. The solution would also be to offer better coffee and milk substitutions to avoid needing to bring coffee from another place. Your loss. read more

Very beautiful establishment. Open and inviting with delicious scents soon as I walked in the door. This was my friend's recommendation and it was a diamond. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal which was great in proportion and super flavorful. Never really had tacos for breakfast but these were quite tasty. If I ever go back think I'll try them with out the cornmeal taco as that was a bit heavy for me but it could've been just my preference. The service was spot on, not just our waitress asked were we good but several other passing service members and that is not something I'm used to. If I find myself back in California again in this neck of the woods I would love to come here again maybe for lunch because breakfast was a home run. Thank you from this little Virginian that loves flavorful yummy food. read more

Food and service was great! They recommended the chicken fried steak breakfast and it didn't disappoint. The mimosas were delicious also!

Looking for a great breakfast in the IV is like looking for the fountain of youth! After reviewing several possibilities I decided on the Broken Yolk simply because it was pet friendly. The place wasn't busy and was seated in the outside patio that turned out to be infested with several mosquito gangs that were relentless and annoying. The waitress came by quickly and took my drink order and gave me a bit of time to decide on my order. The menu has an insurmountable amount of items that even Chef Ramsey would have cried over. I decided on the mom omelette and a side of pumpkin spice pancakes. As I waited for my order I did enjoy the coffee that was the highlight of the meal. My order arrived and they looked like there was enough food on my plates to feed the entire valley. As I started my meal adventure it became apparent to me that I had chosen the wrong pill and would have to live in this nightmare for the next 20 or 30 minutes. I basically had to pick away at the only salvageable part of the meal which was the egg. Even the has browns were soggy and tasteless. The veggie interior was overwhelming and off putting! But there was one last hope in my side order of pumpkin pancakes. They were the size of the salton sea and tasted about as salty as the salton sea. They were uncooked and the pumpkin was no where to be found. After a couple of attempts trying to find a cooked piece I had to do a Linda Blair and spit out the hellish pieces onto my plate. It became apparently obvious to me that the Broken Yolk is about as broken as Humpty Dumpty and this place cannot be put back together! Disappointment is the only thing on this menu that is done right at this place! Do yourself a favor and just drive to Yuma or San Diego next time you wake up hungry. Or simply go next door to Dunkin Donuts. read more

Someone needs to give our waitress a raise. We completely forgot her name but she was amazing. She checked up on us soapy times despite it being busy. And the fact that she brought everything for four people with missing a single thing is just perfection in my book. Restaurant was very clean, comparable to the other chains. read more

I come here after 6hrs of driving for morning hearings in El Centro. Great food, the staff is always friendly.

Never again. Will I enter this building me And my son went in, put our names down was told that we're going to wait 25 minutes, which was not a problem. But then a couple who showed up after us were seated before us unacceptable.I will never be in this building again read more

Great food and service! Their " Join the waitlist" feature is awesome. Everything is pricey, but you get what you pay for and more!

Amazing breakfast, I love the creativity in their dishes (several different kinds of hollandaise). The coffee is good and strong. Very pleasant wait staff. You need to be there early or the line is out the door. I would highly recommend for breakfast, big menu and well-made food with fresh ingredients! read more

I popped in on a rando Monday, and the wait was like 20mins, pro tip use the "join waitlist" on this app, make your life better. The restaurant was warm, clean, the food was good and the service solid. I went in when I was super hungry. The item that jumped off the menu and on to my plate was the short stack cinni-stack combo. I ordered my eggs scrambled, and "not super dry be definitely not wet", totally woshwashy, but they came out perfectly amazing!!!! The sweetness of the pancakes was a good combo with the bacon and eggs. My waitress was a pro at keeping the coffee coming and making sure I had everything I needed. I'd recommend this place to anyone looking for a good breakfast:) read more

I love the acai bowl it was really good. The food and the atmosphere was amazing. Great workers. The service was really fast

The Broken Yolk is a solid American diner in Imperial Valley. They have an extensive variety of breakfast and lunch options, ranging from omelettes, benedicts, pancakes, toasts, sandwiches and burgers. The wait staff here are extremely friendly. I am a huge fan of their Tiki toast, Wild West burger and Hawaiian fried chicken burger! read more

I was seated and attended to immediately. Was able to order and again my food was brought to me immediately. The food was tasty. I did ask for bacon well done, but it tasted "funny" like old oil...that's my only complaint. The potatoes were a little oily but I think that's how most people would like them. The egg was pooched exactly as I asked, muffin toasted well and the avocado was fresh! I was in and out w/in 25 mins. It was great, clean and convenient to everything in the town! read more

We are from out of town stopped in. This is a chain we have gone to before and enjoyed. The service was good. I had the American breakfast. My Husband had a skillet. We would return if in the area. read more

I have fond memories of the La Jolla location during my university years, so I was definitely thrilled to have this location open up in my hometown. I come about once a month or so with my mom. We really enjoy everything about this place! They switched to a better brand of coffee, so that's a plus. They offer vegetarian and vegan alternatives. I love the variety on their menu. I LOVE the Hash Skillet and the Border Benedict. Mom and I almost always get a savory breakfast and then one single buttermilk pancake to split... just for a touch of sweet! The staff are super friendly and accommodating! Kendra is our favorite, she is amazing! read more

Haven't been here in over a year but now I remember why. We ordered three meals two out of three were ok but the chilaquiles were so dry and had no sauce or flavor. Only two spoonfuls of meat on the chilaquiles. So disappointing like how can the waiters drop this off at our table. I didn't even eat it and wanted to send it back but never had the waiter return until the bill was dropped off. The other meal had no salt either! Aside from this, we were seated by a table with children. The neglectful parents allowed their two children to cry it out. One of them being under a couple months. They didn't do anything to stop the babies from crying and they cried till they finished eating and left. I had to bite my tongue to not intervene. I did expect at least the manager to speak to them on behalf of the restaurant patrons. We all have to right to dine but we also have a right to enjoy our meal. Do better broken yolk! read more

Broken Yolk Cafe - Avocado Toast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - El Centro, California

Just stopped in for breakfast. I ordered the Mile High Omelet. While it tasted good, I was a bit shocked at the way it was made. In all actuality it wasn't an Omelet. The cook prepared the ham green pepper, onions, and cheese placed them on the plate and just layed the scramble eggs on top of all the other ingredients. A very lazy way of making an Omelet. The cook obviously does not have very good skills. read more

Food is always amazing . The service is good. I come here every weekend with my family.

Great food, nice staff, cute place. Didn't care for the mimosas but Will eat here again!

The food was pretty good, but the service was too slow, the ambiance was good too, but the a/c was right on top of my table and it was too cold, I ask to low the thermostat or turn off but the server says they can't do that, the hot coffee was cold, but the the food is good 7/10 :) read more

Broken Yolk Cafe - Chicken and Waffles - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - El Centro, California

Please turn off the stupid celling fans! Our food gets cols before we can put ketchup on it, it is ridiculous! The service and the food are great if you can het seated in the back. Winter or summer they have the fans on, I know the servers are walking around and get hot but it is awful for our food, it messes up the whole experience. Someone should tell them celling fans are meant to recirculate air so they should be spinning in reverse and not blowing air down!!! If you ask anyone they tell you "oh! i am sorry, we can't turn it off" Please!!!! Turn them off or fix the direction in which they spin!!!! It is not rocket science! read more

Excellent service, great food and a lot of food. Coffee is excellent as well! need to start selling the coffee grounds 3rd time this month for breakfast ! read more

Service was good. We had to wait a little bit were seated fairly quickly. Food was very delicious

What's the point of joining the waiting list if they are not gonna respect it. Joined the waited list at 1139 and almost an hour still not seated. Front desk waiter did not respect the online waiting list she just said we will check you in and put me at the bottom of the list. I believe they should let us know that the waiting list is not going to be respected. read more

Hosts was rude after having to wait 30 mins to be seated and said I called your name so I took you off the wait list but I was out side and she never came outside to call my name to be seated she just assumed and went to the next person on the wait list read more

So glad I came in here! I got the good morning burger with my eggs over easy and my burger cooked medium rare. First off the portions are HUGE! I didn't expect my burger to be as big as it was thickness and width. Burger and fries were cooked to perfection, the fries nice and crunchy but not over cooked at all. Not one soggy or undercooked fry on my plate. I paired my burger with the mimosa flight, each one was equally amazing it's it's own different way, all with unique taste of their own. I will definitely be back for something else on the menu! EVERYTHING LOOKED SO GOOD! My girlfriend couldn't decide what to get so she copied my burger but with a side of fruit. read more

The food here is great. We would add this to our Saturday breakfast rotation if we lived here. The servers are attentive and friendly.
