Only reason I did 4 instead of 5 stars was due to the 45 min wait time turn into more of at 1 hr and 15 min wait time! Darrell was the best waiter! Friendly smile and very good service once seated. Have to get the Ube pancakes with Ube sauce! read more

The dining experience at Easy Like Sunday was awesome! The food was delicious and the service was great. Our server Diana was so helpful in helping us pick our dish and the food came out hot and fast. Thank you Diana!! read more

Another wonderful experience! I love that even a month later the food was still delicious! The staff are some of the best in Charlotte, moving quickly, being polite and ridiculously efficient. When we arrived there was a wait for larger groups but I was pleasantly surprised that our party of two was sat immediately on Easter Sunday morning at a table near the bar. I ordered pancakes and eggs with a matcha. My date had the chicken and waffles but subbed the waffles for flattery French toast. I cannot recommend this place enough! read more

2.5 stars. Our server was incredible! Answered all our questions and was so friendly. The food was mid. It was good but not memorable. And expensive. Pancakes for $20? Breakfast burrito for $18? Yikes. For all the hype this place gets, I was somewhat disappointed. The purple ube pancakes themselves have zero flavor, it's the glaze that tastes like cake. Its all created by social media is my guess. And your hostess... seemed annoyed and bothered to greet all your patrons. As the first impression of your business - she was quite awful and Id move her to simply seating ppl. I was there on 5/16 if that helps narrow it down... read more

Easy Like Sunday has a great brunch vibe, but the experience was a mix of good food and not-so-great service. We came in with a party of 10 and waited about an hour, which was expected since we didn't plan ahead. The wait wasn't bad at all, especially with good conversation. Once seated, service started off slow--we waited a bit just to get water, and it felt like the staff may have been overwhelmed or not fully prepared for a larger group. We ordered a little bit of everything--French toast, vegan hash, short rib hash, eggs over easy, shrimp and grits--basically a full brunch spread. The food overall was good and looked great coming out. No major complaints across the table, though the potatoes were a bit overcooked. What really stood out, though, was the service from the expeditors bringing out the food. The interactions felt rushed and came off with a bit of an attitude, which took away from the overall experience. It just didn't feel warm or welcoming. The space is small and has a nice, cozy vibe, but it may not be the best setup for large groups during busy brunch hours. Overall, the food was solid, but the service needs improvement to match the atmosphere. read more

Honestly not as good for how busy they are. I had WAY better breakfast at RedEyeDiner and better service as well. It was extremely busy, everything was a mess there's not enough room anywhere in the restaurant to even open your elbows when you eat. Our bartender was VERY NICE but overwhelmed and it was obvious. It was just a hot mess, our table was never wiped down, never got the teas we ordered, every bit of our food came out separate, the silverware was dirty - they had to replace it TWICE. The bacon they're so known for was mediocre at best, they poured butter all over my French toast even though I specifically asked for no butter. And the bathrooms were FILTHY. And I do mean FILTHY. Just not the experience I was hoping for. My friend never got her grits, she also said her pancakes were still doughy so she didn't even eat them. Aside from all this, our bartender was exceptionally nice, my fruit was fresh, he made sure to remove anything we didn't receive off our receipts, the fried chicken was good as hell - cooked to perfection. And I really liked the decor. read more

Tried ELS for the first time and it did not disappoint. We went on a Saturday morning for brunch and they were busy but we managed to grab a patio seat outside for our party of 6. Our server was attentive and provided us with great service as well. read more

For me, this place was insanely overrated. The food was decent. The service was fine up until the server was hovering over me as I paid and tried to determine my tip--which is where the experience completely crashed and burned. The prices they charge don't justify the small serving sizes. My friend ordered the shrimp and grits and said it was good. I had the short rib hash and split it with my husband. Our plate was good but nothing exceptional. We indulged in the mimosa flight to celebrate a special occasion. The price wasn't posted on the menu and of course I don't expect it to be cheap but $40 was over the top for a basic bottle of prosecco and some flavored juices. Maybe if they were freshly squeezed that could justify the price a bit. The presentation was also confusing. It wasn't explained what each little carafe was and you'd think that the garnish would denote the flavor of each juice but that wasn't the case. For example, there was a carafe of mango juice with a strawberry garnish. As for the ambiance, we sat outside and this was a great choice in this situation since the weather was absolutely beautiful. My only complaint was that our table was very wobbly. We had to grab a paper to go bag, fold it up and prop it underneath to make it stop moving. Overall, I'm not motivated to return. With the menu prices, you'd expect something a little more elevated--not fancy, but certainly not the basic service and presentation that we received. Side note: they currently have ube pancakes on the menu. When I asked where the ube flavor comes from, they said it was a syrup. That's not a true ube flavor. If you ever try anything labeled as ube and it just tastes like vanilla, it is not the real thing. read more

Yes yes & yes again!! I went for breakfast on Valentines Day & there was a wait, which was expected, of about 50 mins or so. I like that for the outside diners they offered blankets and hand warmers (nice touch). I secured a spot at the bar and ordered the "all in one" breakfast which includes eggs, meat, cheese grits or home fries & i got the Churros Pancakes. They were fluffy and Devinely topped with whipped cream and the cheese grits...(see pic #4). I love that although the restaurant was busy the food was still hot & didn't take long. I washed it down with a passion fruit mimosa which was deeelish. The staff were still courteous even with the rotating traffic. I didn't take pics of the inside since it was super busy and I wanted to be respectful. But under 1 slower time its a very intimate and cutesy place get delicious food! Will definitely return. read more

I finally made it into this spot for brunch on a rare Monday when I was off. Every other time I've attempted to get in, the line was out the door. I sat at the bar, just me and it took a moment to get acknowledged but once the bar tender came over, it was all good. I ordered the basic breakfast, 2 eggs, bacon, potato's and sub's the toast for classic French toast. They cooked my eggs perfectly (a pinch of salt and pepper would make them perfect), the bacon was crispy and I think they might deep fry it so it was dry, the potatoes were def deep fried and lacked any seasoning at all and finally the French toast was too soft for my liking (no crispy buttery edges) nor did it have a creamy custard like middle. Overall, it was just a breakfast. I'll come back for some other trendy brunch items like the shrimp and grits and/or fried chicken and corn meal pancake before making any recommendations read more

Delicious food! Everything was very good and delicious. We enjoyed our brunch on the large outdoor area on a rare 70 degree day in January. One improvement I would recommend is a chocolate syrup with that Oreo pancakes instead of maple. I feel maple changed the flavor profile and took away from the chocolate and Oreo goodness. read more

This is a cute little spot, with a long wait (went on a Thursday morning.) Although our server was nice and attentive, the food was just subpar and pricey. I had the pulled pork hash, which they sat directly on top of the potatoes which made the potatoes mushy. There also wasn't enough flavor, and the eggs were bland. Cute establishment, but there's better breakfast places out there. read more

Easy Like Sunday - Eggs, sausage & grits. Eggs & pulled pork hash. Both were just okay. Rather bland. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Good, different and expensive...at least for us having a late breakfast. Hard to find in their shopping center, which is three levels and oddly arranged. Lots of businesses under or over others and limited signage, depending on how you approach it. Keep trying. A very eclectic menu. It had breakfast brunch items, lunch items, sweets and interesting combinations of ingredients. Try this: Best Sellers: Chicken & Waffles, Short Rib Benedict (!), Lemon Ricotta Pancakes (very interesting). Plates: Breakfast Burrito, Avocado Toast, Sunday Chicken Sandwich (!). And, Blueberry Mascarpone French Toast, Smoked Salmon Tartine...not likely to find in Charlotte area any time soon. Other Options: Brunch Combos, Kids' Breakfast Plates. Seating is not very large, but they seem to thrive on Dine-In, Takeout, Delivery via App and Website, along with in-house. Wife and I had Churro Pancakes ($19.95), which was a six pancake high mound of cinnamon flavored cakes with butter on top. Too much to eat, so half of it came home with us. I had their wonderful shrimp and grits ($22.95) and they were up there with the best I have ever had. Cajun shrimp literally stuck into very creamy and flavorful grits and lots of bacon and spring onion (maybe leeks) all over it. Yum-a-luscious for sure. We had herbal (natch!) tea and juice ($4.95 each). I think they are on to something...not the usual fare in Charlotte. You tell us all what you think. read more

Finally made it! Was able to walk right up and be seated, which I'm so thankful for because there is usually a wait. We came a little after 9am. Shortly after we were seated more people started to line up outside. the restaurant is a little smaller than i imagined it to be inside, and now the wait makes sense. Tables are fairly close together, so you will most likely hear others conversations. The food was well worth it! I'm so glad i was able to go. The ube pancakes were amazinggggg! I love ube and every chance i get i try a new item. Between the actual pancakes and the sauce it was a perfect combination. The shrimp and grits were *chefs kiss* plenty of flavor! Our waitress was super nice, helpful, and attentive. The chicken could've been a little more flavorful but it wasn't bad. read more

First off, the service here was amazing!! From the host to our waitress, everyone was so kind and attentive. Truly A1 service! That said, I don't think the food quite lives up to the hype or the wait time. We tried the ube pancakes (pretty solid), cowboy bacon (definitely our favorite item), and chicken sausage (a bit dry). The eggs were just okay, not much flavor or anything special. The peach lavender mimosa was nice though! Overall, it's a decent brunch spot with great vibes and stellar service, but the food itself didn't wow us enough to make me want to rush back. Still, judging by how packed it was, they're clearly doing something right with their community.... Maybe we ordered wrong-- idk! It was cool though. 3.5/5 read more

First time visiting this restaurant and cannot believe that I have not ever stopped in prior to today. No reservations required however, generally there is a little bit of a wait. The menu has the typical brunch items to choose from, as well as some other typical lunch choices. Their French Toast was so amazing. They were so good that I had to place an additional order to go. read more

This is a 'NAH SON' type of UNEASY feeling establishment. First of all, when you walk in they have the mirror of deception placed in the back to give the illusion that this place is large. But once you realize the trick, you see how small this place is. BIG BOOTYs beware as you won't be able to comfortably maneuver through without bumping into an elbow or 2 coming and going. The food lacked flavor. My sauteed vegetables was just overly drenched in oil and the eggs were bland. They give you long plates for food but the portions equate to the nibblings for a rabbit. The coffee was ok, but the prices are not for what you're given. Don't believe all the hyped up reviews from these influencers. read more

I came in on a Wednesday around 12pm and although there was no hostess, the bartender was able to signal for me to have a seat wherever I wanted. So I did. I will say that it was a bit difficult to enjoy the ambience once I sat down because the kitchen crew had their music on so loud that I could barely hear my own thoughts. Later, I had some trouble deciding what to eat, so I asked the bartender (he never told me his name, sorry) and he recommended their new pumpkin pancakes and WOW were they sweet. The walnuts they added on top, however, helped. All in all, had an alright time, but I'm not so sure the food, ambience nor service was special enough to keep me coming back any time soon. read more

I was excited to try this place being new to the area. I came away with these takes. 1. I get better pancakes at IHOP. 2. Filthy, cobwebs hanging on lights over tables. 3. Staff just chillin around chatting with each other and no sense of urgency. 4. Unless you're 90 lbs, you can't fit through the tables as they are 12" apart and your junk hangs over the next table getting in. read more

Ok, so there are some positives as well as negatives for this review. Stopped by with the fam before getting on the road back to the DMV. It was packed, which I wasn't really expecting for a Monday, so we sat outside. Our waiter was nice and informative, but the other waiters that helped him were inpatient, and borderline rude. I didn't appreciate that. I ordered the white chocolate mocha with oatmilk. I enjoyed that, it wasn't too sweet, and it was smooth. The food came out really fast, but there was a lot of us in the party and they struggled to get the items correct. My breakfast burrito (not pictured) was average at best, but the cheese grits had an awkward consistency, and were extremely rich. My son really enjoyed the chicken sandwich (not pictured). I probably wouldn't come back, there are better options for brunch. read more

Stopped in for a brunch on a Thursday late morning, inside was packed with only outside or bar seating available. Our party of 2 chose to sit outside. They intermittently played music. Our server was pretty prompt with our food/drink order. If you love sweets, you would love the pancake menu it has sooo many sweet options. I enjoyed the veggie scramble. I appreciate when a restaurant offers more than an omelette for a non meat eater. We ate our plates clean! The mimosas were in cute glasses and were decent. We were constantly having to swipe copious flies away from the food table. But it seemed to only be our table location, other outside patrons didn't seem to have many; and of course we are outside lol. Overall I see what the hype is about, would definitely go back again and try something new. read more

This is hands down my favorite breakfast spot! I seriously wish they had a bigger space because there is always a line. You may have to wait on a Sunday morning, but trust me--it's 100% worth it. The lavender lattes are my go-to, and they have the BEST ube pancakes I've ever had I literally dream about these pancakes. My husband ordered the fried chicken and cornmeal pancakes, and that's his favorite every time. It's a cozy, intimate restaurant with patio seating when the weather permits The service is always amazing, and if it weren't so busy, we'd probably be here every single weekend. Highly recommend! read more

Absolutely delicious food and coffee. Great service, everyone was super nice and food came out FAST. My husband is a shrimp and grits snob and he said they may be the best in Charlotte. read more

We had a little bit of a wait upon arrival on a Saturday but it wasn't bad (15 minutes for two people). The food was good and the chai tea latte was delicious! My friend raved about the Ube pancakes so those are a must try. My only complaints are: Idk if it's hard to find seasoned and fluffy eggs in Charlotte or what lol but this was the second place where the eggs were a tad hard for my liking and didn't have any seasoning. The restaurant is super busy and bustling nonstop so I didn't really feel an "Easy like Sunday" experience but the food's flavor made up for that. (We actually asked to be moved because we were seated at the end of the bar near the kitchen window and drink pickup and the traffic was so hectic. People carrying things over my friend's head and etc. it just seemed like we were in the worker's way they apologized and had no issue moving us.) I'd say add it to your list of places to try if you have a smaller party but because it's smaller on the inside it doesn't seem great for groups or if you have children. read more

Everything was good: soft and decadent ube pancakes, savory and flavorful breakfast burrito, and tasty lattes. We got seated immediately on a Sunday morning too, which was great, and the seating area was crowded but nice. However, this would not be a place I would frequent, just for the price point. $19 for a stack of pancakes and $17 for a relatively small breakfast burrito is a bit too much for me. Tasty, yes, but there are other places where I could get similar meals for less. Overall, it was a good place and experience, but not the best bang for your buck if that's what you're looking for. read more

Easy Like Sunday - Breakfast Burrito Ube pancakes - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Great brunch spot! This location is fairly small inside but does have several outdoor seating options. They don't take reservations but you can get on the waitlist when you arrive - we got there at 11:10 on a Saturday and were seated at 12:00 so just good to know for planning purposes. We got the short rib hash (SO GOOD!) and the shrimp and grits (yum!) - I would recommend the hash if you are hungry and shrimp and grits if you aren't as hungry. I had to order a side of the potatoes because the shrimp and grits was just not enough food but very good! Also highly recommend the mimosa flight! It comes with a full bottle of Prosecco and 3 different juices - all delish. Plenty of parking in the shopping center! read more

My friends and I came in for brunch on a Sunday, and of course it was packed. It took about an hour for us to be seated... We sat outside on the patio, which was comfortable because the weather was nice. Our server was really nice and attentive, and the manager also paid us a visit. The recommendations from the server and the manager were outstanding. We loved everything we had. I would definitely go back...

One of my besties suggested this spot, for none other than Sunday brunch. Super cute spot, indoor seating is limited and packed (shoulder to shoulder) but there's also outside seating. Be prepared to wait! We shared the short rib hash, we asked for medium on the egg and it came out soft but the meal itself was delicious. The rib hash was tender and the potatoes were soft and crispy. We also shared the Strawberry Shortcake Stuffed French Toast, GET IT, GET IT, GET IT! The best French toast I've ever had! And the lavender mimosas was strong! read more

I really wanted to like this place, it was cute but so small and cramp. Savannah, our waitress was a bit overzealous. There were so many servers on hand but they were all just huddled in a corner. My bestie and I both ordered the short rib hash and it definitely came up short! I had high hopes but it was dry, I think my creme' fraiche was missing or there wasn't enough and I don't even recall there being a caramelized onion. It was good but things were definitely missing. Ohh! My glass of water was also dirty with a side of hair. read more

Okay, I wanted to loooove this place, especially since I know it's so highly rated! The service was good (a little slow), but my main issue was that everything I wanted to order was out.

I've had Caprese salads so many times, but I still love the flavor profile. However, when I saw halloumi on the menu for another dish, I decided to try the substitution. Our server, Shannon, said there was no issue with customizing their dishes to try new things. The firmer texture was nice, and the saltier flavor was a great compliment to the tomatoes as well as a nice contrast to the balsamic reduction. Good selection of hot teas. The restaurant isn't big, but there's also a nice outdoor area which will be great as the weather gets warmer. The service was excellent. Shannon was attentive and made sure we were happy. Great breakfast spot and my husband and I very much enjoyed it. read more
