Very good food! Came out very fast. I had the French toast and bacon. They have a typical breakfast menu. Sunshine was a great waitress.

Disappointed. The cafe is in a decent Greenville location near a grocery store and Moe's Southwest Grill. Overall, the food is pretty good, but the drive-thru service could have been better. First, the person could not understand my order. Second, when I asked about the price, I was not given an answer, but ignored. Lastly, when I went to pay with the manager, I was still not given an itemized list of the price of the individual food items. No one seemed to care. Food-Good Service-Bad There are better breakfast spots around town to visit. read more

The Egg Yolk Cafe could be a really great place. It has plenty of parking and is a good sized place. When you arrive, you need to wait to be seated. There was a group ahead of me so there was a wait for any of us to be acknowledged. Although after I was eventually seated those that came later were pretty much immediately acknowledged and seated. I was seated in a booth so could see the whole restaurant. Service was ok. I ordered the eggs benedict and it came out with runny yolks so I was happy with that. The dish was good but I don't think I'd return next time in town. read more

Very disappointing today. Am hour and a half plus to get order! And the food? Bread was soggy!!! And it was toasted?? And fries were cold. This is beyond ridiculous. And did anyone who worked there smile? No. Lots of excuses. Marked it off my list. My second visit and service and food were disappointing both times. Also cold in there and wooden chairs have seen better days. read more

Great location for a traditional luncheonette. Menu is geared towards the area, with unique options. Server makes the difference in your experience here. read more

It is a great place to eat!! We love going there for a quiet morning meal!! Great atmosphere and wonderful staff. They are always cheerful and smiling!! Wonderful food! I highly recommend this restaurant! read more

I want to love this place! They have so much potential. Relatively reasonable prices. Good food. Service is hit or miss. I really wish they would update the menu a bit. Or have a special just something to change it up a bit. read more

Few things went wrong...45 minute wait to get our food and place wasn't busy. 2. Ordered the special and it came out burnt and raw. Waitress said bc of the sugars that's how it's supposed to be...‍ Manager went back to recook it himself and about 10 minutes later he asked if there was something else I wanted. At this time my family was about done with their meals and we had some where to be. The manager did me a favor by not charging me for my meal that I didn't get. Um thx I guess. Will never be back read more

Note: Did not eat here/turned around. This place had good reviews from friends of mine and the menu online looked delicious. however, when my bf and I attempted to go a month ago we were not happy about the COVID precautions. No outdoor seating and crowded indoors with almost every table being sat (and there was one party of over 15 people with about 4 tables smashed together.) Also some workers not wearing masks and took a while to be addressed. That said, when we were finally greeted (after being literally ignored by others), the woman was nice and helpful. We chose to leave given the situation indoors combined with lack of outdoor seating. I am looking forward to trying this place after the pandemic and updating my review. read more

Such good breakfast. The link sausage was some of the best I have ever had. Definitely will be back.

It was a long line the food was pretty good only thing I didn't like was that they left my bacon off my plate so I had no meat just pancakes when trying to call back could not get an answer But overall pretty good food I would come back again with my babies read more

Terrible food and so-so service! What brunch restaurant IN THE SOUTH runs out of grits, biscuits and BACON! That should have been my first clue! No hostess came to seat me. A lady at the back waved me to a table. I ordered the Eggs Benedict w/out onion and hash browns. The hash browns were cold. The muffins for my Benedict were not toasted. There was a half a slice of Canadian bacon on each muffin. Was there a supply chain issue!? I try to support local, but I've never been so thoroughly disappointed in a restaurant. My suggestion: go to Waffle House instead (which I did). Way overpriced for what you get! ($13 for my meal) read more

I gave my work colleague a choice between two restaurants for breakfast and he picked this one. The place was easy to find and they had a few tables available for breakfast on a Sunday morning. We were promptly greeted and seated. The menu was quite simple for breakfast consisting of two pages. They did put more of an emphasis on pancakes as they had a few different selections like a blueberry pancake or a sweet potato pancake. I went with the Hungry Man which was two eggs, one bacon, one sausage, grits, a pancake and a biscuit. I paid extra for gravy to take that biscuit to the next level. I'm not a huge fan of grits but I rarely eat them. I gave it a try since I was in NC. The food came out at an acceptable pace. The staff was on top of coffee refills but the service wasn't entirely friendly. The food was OK as is most breakfast places. The prices were on par with what I typically pay in CA. I was just passing through and am not likely to return to the area; however, if I do return to the area I will likely give a different place a try. Three stars! read more

Stopped in for breakfast today. We had a bit of a wait, maybe 30 minutes, but it is Sunday and most places are packed after church. I had the Veggie Delight with a side of bacon and the Triple Fruit smoothie. I was happy with all of it. I would have liked more hollandaise sauce but didn't ask for any additional. Overall it was a good meal. read more

This is the second & last time that I will come here. The managing of this establishment seems disorganized. It took forever for the food to come out. When it did the food was cold. I don't send food back ever but it was so cold that they had to remake it. The server was very friendly and it's not totally her fault. This place is a simple breakfast place. There are plenty of those places around town so we will try the others now when we want a simple breakfast. read more

I came here for breakfast with my best friend who is a regular, but after the experience we had, neither one of us are ever going back. For starters, our waitress got our drinks, but then completely forgot to take our food order for 20 minutes. We then had to wait another 30 minutes before our food ever came out. Once we got our food, EVERYTHING was cold. We asked if we could get the food remade, which the waitress was quick to get that fixed. The redo came out and it was better, but still not hot, and the bacon was flimsy and barely cooked. The pancakes came out a few minutes later and of course it wasn't right either. It was doughy in the middle, to where it just tasted like pancake batter and not actual pancakes. After this whole entire experience, the waitress came back and said the manager took off the cup of coffee By no means would we be looking for a free meal, but they took off the one part of the meal that was actually good. The manager couldn't even come up to our table to apologize either, just kept looking at us from behind the counter and making the waitress do part of his job. read more

Local 1st timer. Environment and food very traditional. Really enjoyed on a settled day, they're usually busy. They owner/waitresses were cool made sure I was comfortable and service was great. Definitely recommend 10/10 read more

Waited a while to be seated. I asked for a booth just for myself and was told by the server that they wanted to save the booths for bigger parties, so she sat me at a small table. About 10 minutes later two people walk in to be seated and she gives them the booth. I waited about 10 minutes and still was not served at my table. I will not be going back. read more

- Food is the only thing that was good from my visit. ( Thank you to the cooks ) - We got seated but our waiter took 15 minutes to come to our table. - the waiter did not ask us if we needed anything. - The owner visited every other table to greet his self except for us. ( maybe because we are Latino) - I don't think I'll be returning back. - this place could have potential but the service is horrible. read more

Food good, very crowded, wait staff busy but everything great , we waited about 20 minutes on a busy Sunday morning but worth it

Have been enjoying Egg Yoke for years , lately we've been on an Western omelette to go routine. Easy phone call in from the house Saturday morning drive over to the drive up window and enjoy at the house with everything you'd want or need ! So easy so good ! The staff is wonderful either eating in or meeting you at the to-go window! read more

there was amazing entertainmen, this lady was arguing with enthusiasm and was just very touching and this is the best was to entertain customers 5/5 for me :) and the food was great read more

This is generous considering we didn't even eat here... My husband and I entered the restaurant and noticed two couples standing in front of us (cramped entranceway) and six empty / uncleared tables with the one hostess scrambling to clean tables. She told us it would be a 15min wait. The restaurant was not busy. My husband and I decided to eat elsewhere, if they are unable to clean tables after their patrons leave, how can we expect to get our meal in a timely manner? read more

A lot short staffed. But the waiter was really nice. Food came out quick. The apple cinnamon pancakes were really good. Affordable

I would give this place at least 3 stars. The food was decent and everyone was nice except for our server Shannon.. it started well with her nice greeting until my boyfriend and I both ordered the Hungry Man which comes with eggs, grits, sausage, or bacon and an option of French toast or pancakes. I got grits turkey sausage, love that they had turkey option, french toast, and scrambled eggs. He asked for the same thing but with home fries instead of grits. When our food came out my food had home fries instead of grits and when we questioned our server she told us they had run out of grits; which was never discussed with us. The French toast came out 5 minutes after receiving our food. Which wasn't too much of a problem until we received a pancake instead of the French toast we asked for. Then after questioning Shannon for a second time, she told us that we ordered a pancake and French toast. At this point, we were fed up and did not want the French toast remade. The bill came and I explained that the French toast needed to be removed to someone who I thought was the manager. Then she proceeds to tell me I need to take that up with my server and walks off. Then I noticed Shannon was talking with her co-workers saying that it was our fault and that she would not be taking anything off. She proceeds to talk nasty about us with her co-workers. We finally got the manager who was super understanding of the situation and nice and gave us a 20% discount for our inconvenience. So we pay and Shannon comes to get our check and says to her co-workers all of that for $6 wow.. Then gives us a sorry tail apology at the end which I'm sure she didn't genuinely mean. All in all, I would not recommend going to this place. I understand it was the end of the day, but customer service is what brings your guest back. I wish the best for this establishment and Ms Shannon and pray for better. read more

This place was nothing less of amazing. I ordered potato cakes and they were fried to perfection. The waitress was very attentive and helpful. I recommend for anyone who wants good homemade breakfast! read more

Very slow to be seated with many open tables. Slow service. There should be more than 2 servers on a Sunday morning.

I am unable to rate the food, as we never got to eat. They don't seem clear on how to run a business. We arrived this morning. It took 15 minutes to even put our name on a list. We saw a ton of empty tables, but assumed they were staggering seating to not overwhelm the kitchen (which makes sense). 10 minutes later we find out their computers are down so they can't send orders to the kitchen. Which meant that all the orders for the tables sat would be hitting the kitchen at the same time. Things happen, but the lack of communication is what was most disappointing. We ended up leaving after about 30 minutes (realizing the residual impact on the kitchen) read more

We stopped here before returning to VA, the food is awesome, make sure to get you some pancakes.. sooo delicious, we will return again when visiting. read more

I had never been to Egg Yolk before so I had no idea what to expect. The location is a little small so we had to wait a little while plus we had a party of 7 so we waited for a minute. Outside of that, the service was pretty good, our server checked on us a lot which was nice. The food was REALLY good. I had the slam dunk with a sweet potato pancake (an upcharge from the regular pancake it comes with). It came with eggs, sausage and bacon (I got double turkey sausage instead) and home fries. Overall a pretty great experience and the food was great. I will be back for sure next time I am in Greenville. read more

I am a huge breakfast lover and this place did not disappoint! The cafe is very cute and the service was amazing! Shirley, who works there and seems to be a jack of all trades, was so sweet to us. She even brought us out a bit of her homemade apple butter which was delicious on their flaky, light and fluffy biscuits! She even gave us her secret recipe which I instead to try out. If I am ever in Greenville again, I will definitely pop back in! read more

Eh...medi"yolk" breakfast. Nothing special just your basic breakfast plate. Waitress was friendly enough and thoughtful enough to tell us if we want a side of gravy it would cost $3.99 extra! wait..what??!! read more

I came in thinking that this would be a good place to have breakfast... and it was! Not great, but definitely good.... I started with the specialty Strawberry Glaze pancakes. It was good enough that I finished them, but not awesome. (Then again I consider myself a pancake expert and know that Ally's Comfort Cafe in Sunrise, FL has the best in the world). We also ordered the Fiesta Omelette... also good not great.. had to spice it up with hot sauce to get it down the hatch. I noticed that the water cups were chipped and in need of replacing (and are plastic). Paper mats didn't help. Biscuits were awesome though!! So there's that. I'd come here over Ihop or Denny's, but not over, let's say a Crackel Barrel. The service was A+++ our server was Jaime. read more

The server was great. Owner horrible. Ordered shrimp & grits and found one wasn't deveined. So I sent it back no problem. Owner comes out with my bowl and says he checked my shrimp and Only found one that was dirty? I said well one is enough. He said I didn't need to come back! I said don't worry I won't!!!!!! read more

The food here is okay, nothing special, but it's certainly not bad. Typical breakfast diner type fare -- some fun pancake variations. Waaaay overpriced for what you get, though! It's hard to find an entree for under $10, and that's a bit much for breakfast. The service, though, is where this restaurant really falls down. We've been here a couple times, and the waitresses have never been super friendly. The last time, she was downright surly, told us there was no kid's menu (which the manager later told us was not true), and would walk away while we were talking. Between the service, the just okay food, and the high prices, we won't be back. read more

We went to the egg yolk cafe today and the service was down right terrible! It took about 12 mins to get our drinks we ordered. The waitresses looked like the were so overwhelmed when it was just a regular crowd. And the hostess....smh..... she had about 5 tables open but there was a a long wait because she was running around looking like a chicken with her head cut off. Waitress was extremely rude and did not give a rats butt about how we were doing. The food runner dropped all my sausage on the serving tray that looked pretty dirty she picked them up with her hands slapped them in the bowl and said here you go. I thought it was pretty gross. This will be my First and last time read more

I have been to Egg Yolk a few times and finally decided it was time for a review! It can get busy pretty quickly and they close around 2-3 so you wanna get there early. I had the fiesta omelet and it was huge!! The owner also shared some of her birthday cake with me and it was absolutely delicious! The server was training someone but she was very attentive! My water and coffee stayed full which is always important to me! I came to Egg Yolk to study before work and I will be definitely be back! read more

SO SLOW. Geezzz we literally waited for an hour for our food to come out! The service is pretty nice but I never waited so long for breakfast before, plus it wasn't even busy. I got the orange glazed pancakes because their waffle machine was broken? The pancakes are HUGE and it was pretty good. I tried some of my friends potatoes hash & it was good as well. Honestly I'll probably come back since it's close to my campus but that wait thoooough. read more

My family came down from DC to celebrate my niece graduating high school and my niece recommended Egg Yolk Cafe. We had no reservations and it was 20 of us. We got there at 12pm and they closed at 2pm. We just knew we would t be seated, but they accommodated and gave my whole family the back room and got it all set up for us. When I tell you it was the best experience ever. Everyone was so nice and warm to us and we are a lot lol.... The food was amazing....like everything was so good. They even came and congratulated my niece and took pictures for us before we left. I got the corned beef hash eggs and cheese grits and it was banging all crispy and delicious. We will definitely one back every time I come to Greenville. read more
