Had a great time even though it was busy which makes sense since it was a Sunday. The server was great, he was very nice right off the bat and very attentive. Darrien did an amazing job and overall had a pleasant experience. read more

$25 for a Steak + 2 Eggs + Potatoes & a Pancake WOW! ZATS CRAZY DEAL. For the value of the steak and egg combo alone it's a 5 stars. My wife got the Sopes and as you can tell she was *Tantazlied* by the flavors. Don't be discouraged if there is a MOUNTAIN of people outside the wait times are usually 20-25min! Fih STAH read more

Broken Yolk Cafe - New York Steak & Eggs - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Oceanside, California

Food was mid. Our server took our orders and never came back to see us again. I got the chorizo omelette and it was the saddest plate i've seen. $20 when i can just make it my own. I expected more but it just wasnt worth $20 bucks . We waited for our check to be picked up and no one said anything after waiting 15 mins. Our server gave us our checks right away like he was trying to kick us out. The check was given to us 10 mins after we got our food. read more

Broken Yolk Cafe - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Oceanside, California

I am not huge on high volume breakfast joints, but if the need arises, I would definitely head to the Broken Yolk. They've got several locations throughout North San Diego. Our nearest spot was in South Oceanside. We headed there one Sunday around mid-morning to celebrate my son's 1st Communion. We had quite a few relatives in town to see the massive step for my son and his faith and so we wanted to treat our family and friends to something that would fill their bellies. And something a little more than Dennys or IHOP. I mean nothing wrong with either of those two spots. I love pancakes and the Monte Cristo at 2am at any Dennys will certainly hit the sweet spot! But...u know what I mean?!? So step 1, it was Saturday morning and the event was roughly 24 hours away. I knew they can get crowded on occasion hit this was the weekend AFTeR Mother's Day so I felt it may not be THaT crowded. Nonetheless, I called to make a reservation. The phone leads you to Yelp to make the Res. So I head to the site whereupon I read that if the party is over 8 you have to call instead. So now I'm starting to get a little sweaty. (You know, the precursor to anger which then can lead to rage?). Suffice to say it never reaches the boiling point even though when I called, the server answers and upon hearing g my request for accommodations for roughly 12-14 people, immediately refers me back ti the site. I stop her mid-sentence fully aware of her intentions and redirect her to me, right there, and right now. Waiting on the other end of that telephone line for assistance. Thank you to her, as she obliged and basically told me to come in and mention what I just said to her. So first thought of advice for the folks at the BY....you may want to solidify your reservation policy as everyone seemed a bit confused. So despite all of that, our party arrived exactly at the time mentioned, only TK have to wait for close to 39 min anyways! Again, BY management please see comment above. But I'm with a group who loves Jesus and just came from a beautiful ceremony for my son and so the vibes a currently positive. (They remain that way because God is Good!) Our server was awesome! Cannot recall his name but he took our party on (complete with at least half a dozen young kids) and did so with positivity the entire time! Loved that dude! Anyone who's been in the restaurant game knows what I mean about the 6 youngsters in the party. Heck they were involved in an intense full blown game of freeze tag once the food had been devoured. Thankfully the other patrons and workers thought them to be "cute". And yes I know the hidden meaning there but what are you gonna do?!? And by the way, wifey was out of town with the oldest and so I was solo with these hoodlums! All good through because again, Jesus is the Reason! Food was solid as it always is and had come to be expected. I cannot recall all of the order but I know that nobody left hungry and all were more than satisfied. Except maybe our waiter. As awesome as he was (and he was-Thank you God) he almost received a double tip as my father in law, who is one of those guys who tries to beat you to the bill and pay for everything before you even finish half your meal, did so without telling anyone and had already filled out the tip portion at around $50 unknowing that 18% had already been added due to the party size. Lucky for him I noticed and corrected. UNLucky for him is that h e noticed his method of beating me to the bill for over 20 years now and while he thinks his 75 year old behind is as quick as a mongoose in a pit of vipers, and as stealthy as.....well, I don't know what is stealthy right now...except for maybe me! Because this is where I was going here. I've known his tricks for decades yet.....quiet is the son-in-law who knows his place. Great time! Great food! GREAT server! (Sorry about taking the double tip back) and Great is Our God for he is Merciful! Cheers! read more

We went on a busy Saturday, for brunch. We added ourselves to the waitlist only minutes before arriving. But, amazingly we're seated quickly. Our server came over, who was SPECTACULAR (I wish I could remember her name. She was an older woman). Very knowledgeable able the new addition to their menu, Smaller-Side. I ordered from that. Definitely not too much smaller than a full portion, but whatever. Obviously decor was typical of any chain dining establishment. We will be back, simply because the staff have been cool and the food is always yum for us. read more

Looks like it's been 8 years since I last reviewed Broken Yolk! Time for another one! Came in super early today on a Sunday and had a great experience! My server Thomas was super on top of it and friendly! The food was delicious! I had the "mom" omelette with green peppers, red peppers, mushrooms, spinach and avocado! The eggs and vegetables were cooked perfectly! Had the hash browns ant tortilla to make it compete. Add my cup of coffee and it was an excellent breakfast! read more

Dianne H, my server was fantastic. She was so friendly and kind. We being came out just to order. The gentleman who delivered my mimosa flight and my meal was also very kind. Overall it was a great experience. This was my first time at a Broken Yolk despite having one close by. If I'm in this area again, I will definitely come back! read more

We love coming here. Always greeted with a smile! It's not knock your socks off food but it's consistent and it is good. I got the meat lovers omelette today which was delicious. Has to make a couple adjustments to the sides and Thomas our server was extremely helpful. He's awesome and was perfectly attentive to our table. It was busy but the noise level isn't overbearing or anything. Still quiet enough to have a low volume convo. Until next time read more

I was in your cafe on Wednesday 8-12-26 from10am to10:50 am placed my order at 10:14 the ticket said didn't get my order until 10:45 am as your guest service finally around 10:35 as me what did I order again. I looked back where he went he talked with another employee they had placed my order to stay not to go . My food looked like they placed it back to cook some more because everything was over cooked burnt!!!! So I talked with the original employee that took my order he told me well it's still hot. Very disappointing because that was my first time at the Broken Yolk Cafe. I order pancakes burnt, bacon and sausage burnt, hashbrowns burnt, toast burnt and eggs. They emailed me two days ago asking me to tell them more about what happened. Haven't heard from them. A good business start from upper management down to the workers who work for you. read more

So good! Finally went to this location this past weekend and I loved it. The fast that you can join the waitlist online is a game changer. So you're not waiting there much. Service was lacking honestly, but I know they were busy and it didn't seem like many servers were working, so I took a star off for that because we didn't get the service that we would have wanted. However the food was so good and the portions are huge. My favorite is the country fried steak and I get it every time I go to any location. So far, it's been consistent and so good! Can't wait to come back and bring more people. read more

Broken Yolk Cafe - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Oceanside, California

We like this place for breakfast on the weekends. So does everyone else! Our server Suzy was super nice and fast. What we love best is that they have an automated "wait list" that you can join before you get to the restaurant. Saves time during busy weekend mornings. This is our go to for a close to home meal. read more

The food is great and the employees seemed to be friendly! I got the veggie eggs Benedict and coffee which were both delicious, but I must say the portion sizes seem to be small. It was unfortunate that this location is not apart of the free French toast coupon I've had sitting in my wallet! Happy the coffee is refillable and the server gave us plenty of coffee refill opportunities, for $5 is kind of expensive if you just have 1 of the small cups that they provide. Not sure if it's just me, but whenever I go to any Broken Yolk location it seems like I need to order 2 entrees to satisfy my hunger. It was busy for a Monday morning, but the server managed to give us plenty of attention and they have a lot of seating areas which seemed to fill up by the time we had left. We were not pressured to leave despite the growing crowd and they even gave us coffee cups to go! read more

Food is so good, service is great & efficient! Will be in & out in an hour. As a Mexican I will say I like their American breakfast better than their Mexican food. I got the green chilaquiles once but ever since have chosen pancake/ french toast breakfast options instead. Also their açaí bowls are amazing! read more

We had such a great experience at Broken Yolk! Our server John was amazing -- super friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. The food was delicious and the service made our experience even better. Definitely recommend asking for John if you come here! We'll be back read more

Visited Broken Yolk on 4/12 around noon. The GM (I believe her name was Toressa or Clarissa) was working the hostess desk. She said the wait for a booth was about 30 minutes. I asked about counter seating and was told it's first come, first served, but asked to still be put on the waitlist in case my partner wanted a booth. That simple request set her off. She got visibly upset and threw the iPad used for the waitlist to a young hostess. I asked what her name was and what the issue was, and she said I changed my mind after she "accommodated" me. When I asked if she was okay, she ignored me. Again, I asked her what her problem was and she ignored me. The hostess later explained she was stressed because it was busy--but it was a Sunday lunch rush, which is expected. A server also mentioned other customers have had similar issues with her. Very unprofessional behavior from someone in a GM role, especially taking it out on staff and guests. She's TOXIC and should be fired. read more

Always an extremely good and affordable place to eat I would not recommend the coffee only because it taste like instant coffee but other than that everything else in the venue is always phenomenal read more

Darrian was excellent! True service and genuinely happy. Thank you for your service. Food was excellent and coffee was perfect.

Came for lunch on a weekday. The place was pretty empty but I wasn't concerned as it seems to be a weekend brunch place. They have a new small plate menu priced at $9.95. The portions are just enough. Ordered the chilaquiles with one egg and black beans. The beans were over salted and our server kindly swapped them out for us. The red and green salsas were good and added flavor to the dish. Service was great. Would go to 3.5. read more

First time at this location. Server was pretty terrible unfortunately. We sat there for a good while before we even got our food ordered. Once our food was delivered by another staff member, our server never even came by to check if everything was going well. He came by to neighboring tables multiple times but still never checked in with us. We asked for some coffee and as he was filling my cup he ran out so my cup was less than half full. He'll come back with a full pot of coffee to refill, right? Nope. Had to ask another server for more coffee. Pretty disappointed in this visit. Might give it another shot in the future but we'll see. read more

Broken Yolk Cafe - Tiki Toast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Oceanside, California

This is my go to breakfast spot in the area. It does get super packed on Saturdays and Sundays, but it's worth the wait. I haven't been let down on my food once since I started going here (and I've gone like 20 times). My only critique is that the staff can be slow at times. read more

Huge portions. Friendly staff. Lively breakfast/brunch crowd. My go-to meal is the Mom Omelet (no spinach or mushrooms - too watery), with hash browns and a blueberry muffin. Their hash browns are the only way I like hash browns -- non-mushed together shreds of potato and perfectly crispy. It can be a short wait on the weekends. Check on the Yelp waitlist before you come! read more

Accommodated our large walk-in group of 13 for our niece's birthday celebration. Wait time was around 45 minutes on a busy Sunday. Everyone was happy with their meals.

Extremely sad! We have been going here for years! Loved Theresa the manager and loved Gaby the waitress! We have been bringing our 7lb Yorkie with us every time and has NEVER been an issue. Now that Theresa is gone the attitude of the restaurant is quiet... not happy and joyful with her fluttering through the restaurant. Now all of a sudden no dogs?!?! What!!!.. can't believe how much they have changed and not for the good. We will not be returning read more

Service was great. The staff members were very friendly and attentive. The restaurant was a little busy but we added our names to the online waitlist and got sat down fairly quick. We were a party of 6. I ordered the salmon avocado toast with poached eggs and the mimosa flight. My food was pretty good and the tropical mimosa flight was delicious! Everyone at the table enjoyed their food too. Great experience, good breakfast/brunch spot. read more

I've been to broken yolk a few times as a kid but haven't been back since. While the options on the menu seemed promising the food was not great. I got the country scramble and the gravy lacked flavor. It was a pretty bland dish and I felt that the gravy was pretty disappointing considering it was what made the dish different from the other scrambles. The service was decent but none of us were impressed with our food. My friend didn't like his pancakes which was a bummer since we'd think they'd be good at a chain restaurant but unfortunately the food just didn't hit. read more

It was a fairly busy morning but we only had to wait about 15 mins to be seated. The guy who seated us was very nice as was our server. She was also very attentive throughout our meal. My wife had the Nutella crepes and they were tasty although she would have liked a little more whipped cream. The Nutella was drizzled on the crepes but there was little or none on the inside. I had the omelette which was also good with a lot of ham. The blueberry muffin was hot and fresh and could have been the highlight of the meal. We will go back for sure but it may not be our first choice. read more
