    I enjoy going to the Broken Yolk Cafe in the morning to get some free WiFi, handle some business and have a great breakfast. The food is usually taste and cooked fresh, the service is excellent the management between Jennifer and Ariana do a great job at tending to all customers. The ambiance is the restaurant is pretty average the broken windows are pretty unappealing and block natural sunlight. I highly recommend this breakfast spot, it won't disappoint!

    Interesting decore design.

    It was a bit crowded and with us being new to Texas, it was nice to see a variety of different ethnicities in the restaurant even though we were the only Asians there. But none the less it was nice to see different ethnicities mingling in one place. I ordered the classic eggs Benedict with hash browns and my husband ordered the American Breakfast with Mexican Rice and Corn-beef hash (because we're from Hawaii). Our drinks came out first and then our food came out shortly after. It didn't take to long and the waitress kept checking up on us. The food was good and both my husband and I didn't mind how things were prepared. If I had to compare it to something similar, I would probably say it was similar to an IHOP. The only issue was that the photos in the menu were not of what your order looked like. I ordered the Green Tea Matcha and was expecting it to come out in a large mason cup like the photo showed, but it was a much smaller glass that wasn't similar at all to the photo. I guess I'm old school with what you see is what you get. Both my husband and I said we would probably come back to this place to try other dishes, just because the service was great.

    Food is very fresh and homemade. Service was phenomenal, we loved how attentive every server was here. Cute and cozy place. We are def coming back. Pricing was surprisingly affordable. We ordered the chilaquiles, ranchero skillet, and churro French toast which was homemade brioche bread for $50!

    Broken Yolk Cafe is our favorite breakfast spot in the area. I always get the ranchero skillet, which is a very rich blend of a lot of different flavors, including Homefried potatoes sauteed with spicy chorizo, fresh chopped serrano peppers and onions, and their signature ranchero sauce. The sope benedict is also very good - the corn tortilla base with shredded beef makes for a unique Benedict! The staff is always very friendly and pleasant. Each visit is always enjoyable!

    The "crispy" hash browns as served, totally cold in the middle and undercooked overall.

    I have been visiting this restaurant for years. For the last year, something happened, and each visit is worse than last. Today, I ordered two eggs, crispy hash browns, Canadian bacon, and English muffins. The waitress wrote down the order, and I thought I heard her saying "three eggs." I told her that I just wanted two eggs, not three. She looked at her paper and said, "Yes, two eggs." When the order came, there were three eggs. I mentioned that I wanted two only. Of course, I could eat two only, but her response was: "Are you sure you didn't want three?" Moving on... The hash browns were totally white and seemed raw in the middle. She looked at them and acknowledged that they were far from crispy. She said that she'll order a side of crispy ones. When they came, they were a clump of totally burned potatoes and tasted like rancid oil! I guess the cook got offended and taught me a lesson! I have to say that for months now, at each visit, the hash browns are undercooked no matter if I ordered them crispy or not. One last thing, there seemed to be a lot of confusion as to which server handles which customer. I am sorry, but I will find another breakfast place. This was my last visit here.

    First time visit...very impressed!! New, spacious, high ceilings and clean! Very easy going laid back vibe. Open and "airy'. Our new breakfast home. Food was spot on good and service to match. Huge menu options with many traditional offerings and some Mexican as well... My perfect variety. But, it isn't budget friendly.. $50.00 for breakfast for 2. Worth a visit if in the area. Just my opinion...

    Ariana is the best!!! This was our first visit here and so many options. Ariana helped my wife with choices based on gluten and she was spot on! Will bring the fam next time!

    Red chilaquiles with two eggs on top

    I just finished eating at The Broken Yolk. I must say, it never disappoints! I just love their red chilaquiles! The sauce is homemade with a little kick and the tortillas are crunchy and never soggy. I come here specifically to eat their chilaquiles about every two weeks! The dish comes with two eggs any way you like, and you can choose chicken or beef to go on top. They add cheese, crema, onions and cilantro , which makes it perfect! The waitresses are so nice, they always get my order right! I love this place because it reminds me of food back home. You can tell it's made by someone who cares and pays attention to detail! I will keep coming here, for sure!

    I had the chance to try the messy Carmel lotte. If you are a coffee drinker this is a good change of pace. I also had the chance to try a Rancher Omelette. It was pretty good, did have to and a little salt and pepper.

    Ranchero Skille

    I had the Ranchero Skillet and it was really good. I give this spot an5-star because the service was also very friendly and even though they were really busy (Saturday morning rush) our food came out quickly. I will definitely be back because there were tons of great menu options.

    5 stars all the way for location, vibe, food, and service. A tad shocked though, as to how pricey…read moreit all got in the end - essentially a drink (cocktail and beer)-sandwich - dessert meal for two costing $92, including tax and tip. Ordered Prickly Pear Mezcal margarita, Sierra Nevada Hazy Little Thing light IPA beer, cup of Cream of Cauliflower Soup, Caprese Panini on Focaccia bread with Herbed Fries, West Coaster Panini (Ham, Avocado, Arugula) on Ciabatta bread with Herbed Fries, and a Coffee Fudgy Brownie with Vanilla Ice Cream to go. Service was fantastic with our server (Will) being very knowledgeable and friendly. Drinks and food arrived quickly and were fantastic - the drinks were on point, the food ample in quantity and flavorful in taste. The Fudgy Brownie was divine! Well-done! As I mention above, the final tally was a bit shocking. Otherwise, a great place to hang out; planning to return to avail of the Mon/Tue $25 Wine and Bruschetta Board special.

    [EDIT only to correct to "Postino"]…read more I use the one-stars sparingly, I really do. This has nothing to do with the food, as we never got that far in the course of my miserable experience at this location (not sure if it's a chain or not). Walked into a relatively quiet restaurant somewhat later in the evening after strolling a bit in the summer Houston heat around the Woodlands. A couple of people recommended Postino. The issue arose when I asked for a possible menu modification. Specifically, I was trying to avoid GOAT CHEESE on the meatball dish I had my eyes on (which otherwise looked pretty tempting). The server indicated that they probably couldn't do it but I nevertheless requested this... a couple of minutes later the server returned with the bad news. Apparently, it simply had to be served as-is, according to the menu. This in itself wouldn't have got me to the point of writing this review. However, I, incredulous, was kind of laughing (you have to laugh) and said something like "so I can only order exactly what's on the menu, and the kitchen can't do anything different?" (slight paraphrasing, perhaps). There wasn't much further conversation with the server but within about 30 seconds of this exchange, a "manager" stormed over to the table and borderline-abusively shouted "is there a problem?!". This "mini-manager" as I will refer to her, proceeded to inform me that they could NOT accommodate changes because it would "violate the integrity of the restaurant" ... I of course I also found a bit humorous, and in this state inquired further about what sense it made to be so obnoxiously strict for someone just trying to grab a quick bite about 30 minutes before closing. I'm sensitive to the work involved in running restaurants and serving obnoxious customers, but I was NOT rude, obnoxious, or difficult. Just blown away by this treatment. I was then informed by the mini-manager that she was from LONDON which I assume meant I should accept that her cosmopolitan background and (I assume vast and high-level culinary experience) meant that I should shut my trap and stop being so picky. At this point I was compelled to mention that I, too, grew up overseas and was very surprised at this complete lack of flexibility. Within another 30 seconds or so of this dialogue, the mini-manager tipped the menu over on the table and abruptly shouted, "you know what, I'm refusing you service!" That made it all easy from there as we promptly (while laughing, partly out of shock) exited the facility. Huge disappointment and embarrassing in my view for a restaurant that seems otherwise to have maintained a great reputation - and especially so for the fact that service (and people in general) in Houston tend to be kind and accommodating, not typically RUDE or reactionary. I'm encouraging this restaurant to have a look at the service model. I can't say I'll try Postino again the next time I'm in Houston, but I certainly hope it continues to truly earn its 4.5 star rating, 'cause they sure did NOT when I was there this weekend.

Each request I made was unnecessarily delayed. When I requested a container which was within eyesight and reach of the staff, I watched the employee stop and check on 2 other guests and make them drinks BEFORE handing me the container. I asked a 2nd person behind the bar and they did a similar thing before passing a container to me. There were 4 people behind the bar and maybe 5 guests, but each time I needed assistance, I had to ask more than once. Also, I could see my food items sitting in the kitchen while the team was continually chatting in the bar. This is my 3rd time at this location, and it will be my last. Although I like some of the menu items, the service today has depleted my tolerance for this location.
