Eggs Up Grill didn't miss today!!! Our waitress was AMAZING! Just the right amount of touches at the table without being overbearing. The restaurant is clean and has a nice atmosphere. I came around lunch time so it wasn't too busy. Service was FAST! This seasonal Carne Asada bowl was 100/10! The steak was seasoned to the nines and it was super juicy/tender. Would've never thought of this combination but it'll definitely be on the rotation. read more

Our first visit here for Sunday Brunch and I enjoyed myself. We were seated quickly and were given menus. It took a little longer to order food but it was worth the wait. Everything was delicious. Only complaint was the steak was not cooked to order. The waffle sandwich was the biggest hit for my preteen kid! read more

Visited SC recently. Ate here three days (as long as I was in city). Busy, happy, hungry folks, me included. Fluffy pancakes, eggs to order. Excellent service. Was at the location near the round-about on the corner. In a mall like area, down from popular nail shop - yeah, that location read more

We decided to come back since we were unsure of any other breakfast joints in the area. I have to admit, I was wary to give it a second chance. Well, I'm glad I did! This place apparently went under some renovations last summer and the place looks brand new! The interior is very nice, very modern, and a huge improvement. Their food was delicious, and the service quick. We got mimosas ($20), I got the caramel apple pancakes ($10.99), and my mom got "the classic" breakfast ($8.99). We were both pleased with our meals and completely cleaned our plates. The only criticism that my mom had was that the eggs were a little dry. Otherwise, service and breakfast was perfect. I can easily see this becoming a regular breakfast spot for me and my family. read more

This is my first time trying eggs up and honestly I've been wanting to try them for awhile. Based off the menu, they seem like a pretty straightforward breakfast spot. The restaurant gives old school diner vibes which I thought was cute and I liked it. I ordered the shrimp and grits omelet and there was shrimp,, andouille sausage, Swiss cheese and it did come with onions and green peppers but I opted those out. The grits had cheese on it and it was slightly runnier than I like but it was still good. I put it a little bit of salt and pepper on it and it did its job. When my omelet first came out, it had onions and peppers on it even though the waitress told the kitchen no onions and peppers lol so she took it back and they made me a new one fairly quickly. I put a little hot sauce on it and it was so delicious. They give you a decent amount of shrimp and sausage so definitely didn't skimp out on the filling and it parties well with the grits. I think for a quick brunch it was really good. I'd give it a 8/10. Our waitress was also super sweet and helpful during our service. read more

Eggs Up Grill - Fluffy, flavorful pancakes are a must for a good brunch and Eggs Up delivered perfection! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

Don't be deceived by the outside appearance. It's gives your typical local dinner look but I did enjoy my food a lot even though it didn't look like much and I wasn't sure I'd be full. I modified my dish a lot because I am always that person and accommodating me was a seamless process! My order was taken right the first time with no hassle. I got the crab cake Benedict but I didn't want the eggs so I really just had crab cakes and toast. Lol The crab cakes had a good little flavor to them and the garlic bread was just loaded with flavor! Our server was nice and attentive as well! The coffee is strong so if you're not a true coffee drinker I've warned you BUT they have plenty creamer and sugar along with a slew of other coffee options like iced coffee and what not. Also they offer Turkey bacon! A Turkey burger would be a nice edition, fruit French toast, more chocolate pancake options or some slight menu expansions and this would be a five star local dinner for sure! read more

Still a five. Dining room was open, and people dining outside also Saturday morning 6/13/20 around 10:30. No wait to be seated. Breakfast was very good. The coffee was burnt. Asked Sam to make a fresh pot, but she didnt, she got it out of the big carafe machine, and second cup she brought also had the same burnt taste to it, that no amount of cream and sugar would have taken away. They took it away and gladly removed it from the bill. Hope they get the coffee fixed as $2.49 for a burnt cup of coffee is way too much. Still a 5 star for the food and service. read more

Breakfast on a Sunday after a weekend bender has truly stood the testament of time. Recently, I was able to try out a new Eggs Up Grill location over towards Forest Acres. Upon entrance, one becomes entrances with the lighting and comfort colors spread throughout the restaurant. My party and I got seated very quickly and Darren was incredibly prompt with getting our orders in. To our pleasure, our orders came out almost lightning fast and we were able to dig right in. My Southwestern Bowl had a wonderful filling to it along with an almost scientific blend of ingredients, although, the jalapeños were quite big. One cannot go wrong with a bowl and if you opt for one, poached eggs made it delicious. I also had the opportunity to try the waffle sandwich and it was a combination that surprisingly worked really well. read more

I was expecting more in terms of flavor. I ordered the triple deuce or something, It's on the menu under favorites. I opted to try one sweet potato praline and one buttermilk pan lake, bacon, and eggs with cheese. Everything was mediocre and the sweet potato didn't even taste like sweet potato nor could you even taste the pralines. It honestly tasted like a bad batch of pancake mix with nuts. They replaced It with a buttermilk pancake but even then I still didn't enjoy the meal for $10+. The bacon was average and the eggs were nothing to brag about. read more

I came here with my kids for breakfast and this is honestly one of the worst breakfast places I've ever been to. I've never been to an Eggs Up Grille before but I can say I'm not going to be coming back. The only good thing was that the service was good and food came out fast. I ordered a hash benedict and bananas fosters pancake. The hollandaise sauce on the benedict was broken and tasteless, it lacked flavor and the texture left a rough feel on my tongue. The beef hash was mushy and red, it left much to be desired. There was no crispiness on the hash or the english muffin at all. The potatoes weren't bad but there were some questionable burnt pieces mixed in. The caramel on the bananas fosters pancake was overly cooked to the point where it was crunchy and bitter. The bananas were unripe so they were kind of hard. Maybe it's because I've worked at a breakfast restaurant with good food before, so I was so grossed out by all this food. I couldn't finish a single thing on my plates. Save yourself the trouble and either order something else or don't come here at all. read more

We were refused service at Tazza Kitchen with a party size of 13 with our soldier. We came to Eggs Up Grill and were welcomed with open arms and no issues. The staff were wonderful and kind. Service was great and food was delicious! Highly recommend! read more

My last visit found me with burnt and overcooked food. Not quite sure what's going on post COVID, but there seems to be a disconnect somewhere. I do hope they come back up to their previous high standard of quality standard. Right now the Devine St and Robert's Branch location are very consistent. read more

Found this place across from the Joint. Just came outta there and came here. Our server Anna is awesome and chatted us up a bit. I love their shirts with the sayings on them... defiantly CRACKED me up today. She is so cute (looking and personality )! I had Eggs Bene today and boy was that good. Haven't had that in awhile. Also one blueberry pancake. So yummy. Bf helped with that! He ordered a Greek omelete with ham, then potatoes with onions n green peppers etc. they were equally good. Service was great from Anna. She always came around with refills as well as small talk. Love the decor and the T-shirt's they wear... lol! read more

This was my first visit to this location, but second visit to Eggs Up overall in Columbia, and it still lives up to all expectations. While an odd thing did occur at this visit (more on that later) the food and the service were totally on point. Having perused the Yelp page (of course!) before visiting, I saw that they had a Home Fries Platter/bowl. Whaa? Yeah, that HAD to be ordered. I went for the Traditional, topped with scrambled eggs but minus the bacon, and was overwhelmed by how good these were. A few shakes of hot sauce made them perfect. What I liked was that there was just the right amount of cheddar cheese melted in...I know its verboten in the South, but I don't like TOO much cheese, so I was a happy eater. The sweetie and I also chose to order their Sweet Potato Waffle, to share, but this proved overwhelming as everything was so filling. The waffle was crazy good though, and I opted to eat my portion with the provided creamy cinnamon syrup, which was barely sweet. The odd thing was that we were told we had a 10-15 minute wait, but that restaurant was only half-full. We opted to sit at the 'bar' which allowed immediate service, thankfully. We surmised that they do this to keep service quickly floating, but then why have all this space? Regardless, I'll admit that Eggs Up is worth the wait, so either way you should check it out for breakfast. read more

I always leave satisfied. This place is great! I came on their opening day, and have been back at least 10 times since. The same quality as Devine St. but with less of a wait. It's the best breakfast food (in my opinion) here in Columbia. They have all your basics, but it's fresh, fast, and delicious. 100% recommend! You'll be happy with whatever you choose! But I am partial to the waffles. :P read more

We were scheduled to have a morning conversation at another restaurant and they were closed. The manager and staff welcomed us and the food was amazing. We were a party of 16 without warning. The servers were amazing, the food was excellent and their hospitality was exceptional. I highly recommend breakfast and lunch as our group ordered both without complaints. read more

I came in and the manager is so rude to the cooks, I understand if things are slightly backed up but your customers don't need to see you talking to them poorly, it's sickening. If she had such an issue then hop back there and talk to them like they are human beings, maybe even help them but I don't need to hear it. I'm disappointed because I love the food but the management is terrible and I really hope that the cooks find another job because no one deserves to be spoken to like that especially in front of customers. Just disgusting. read more

So I order a sausage egg and cheese toaster and my wife order burrito with a side of fries with Diet Coke .

Popped in for a sandwich and got a nice turkey avocado BLT with home fries. I didn't really know what to expect, since the place is really known for breakfast. However, the sandwich was really pretty good. It's more akin to a turkey & Swiss melt than a BLT. There's a lot of butter on the grilled bread. The avocado and BLT are more like additions for extra flavor. Regardless, though, it's a good sandwich. The home fries are large potato dice cooked up on a grill or frying pan with some spice - good, and pair well with the sandwich. Together it made for a filling yet not overly so lunch. read more

Steak and eggs for breakfast. What more could a girl possibly want?! I went on a calm Wednesday and I highly recommend this if you are not a fan of crowds. It was such a nice experience. Our server was sweet and friendly. The food was hot, out fast, and reasonably priced. I have had less than stellar experiences here so this was a nice change of pace. I really think the difference between weekend dining and during the week dining is palatable. Carve out the time to enjoy this place as breakfast should be..slowly with good company and a hot cup of coffee. read more

Eggs Up is always a great idea! Cannot beat their quality of food and the service. The location on Forest Drive is able to accommodate social distancing and tables outside, which was perfect for the morning I visited-- nothing better than hot coffee in the outdoors! My husband and I both had wonderful breakfasts and I know we will return to this location often! read more

When this place first opened, they had some very good food. Things have changed since then. They have positively the worst home fries that I've ever had in my life! A couple years or so when they were new on the scene, the home fries were crispy - and diced, like home fries should be. Now, their "home fries" are soft, brown, "stuff" that tastes like what an old dish rag smells like. I made the mistake of ordering the home fries again on the last visit. I told my wife, "I hope they've changed back to the way they used to make crispy home fried potatoes." Just for extra measure, I asked the waiter (who was very nice) for my order of home fries to be crispy. Yeah, they came "crispy" all right. They were as black as a new tire and probably tasted the same. I may have found a couple potatoes that didn't look like a brand new tire, but they didn't taste good either. Nah, I won't be back. I thought we could kill three birds with one stone, that is, go to the drugstore, go to the grocery store, and then have breakfast. From now on when we go grocery shopping on Forest Drive, we'll eat somewhere else first. read more

An other great breakfast at eggs up grill, I surely will miss this place once I leave Columbia. The staff was lovely as usual, I love that home feeling as soon as you step in this restaurant.

We ordered two additional co workers plates after and it arrived shortly after we were served. Food was great. Service was good. No refill on hot chocolate compared to pancake house but service and speed of food supersedes them so it's all good. Also, its cold inside so west a jacket or something read more

We found you on Yelp and thought this is a place we should try. It was our first visit and we were not disappointed. Bre, our server was excellent. The food was really good and filling.

Great place for breakfast. Tasty food, clean, no wait. I want to say thank you to our sever Darnel, he was amazing!

Big sigh. Where do I even begin? Being that this is a chain, we expected that the experience and food would be the same. The pros - this location is relatively new so the design and menus are clean / nice. Conveniently located on Forest Drive it's centrally located if you're out and about shopping. We were seated relatively quickly (by Taylor) - very nice young lady. Unfortunately, after this our experience went way downhill. Claudia (our waitress) just could not get it together! She forgot to put an order on, put another order in wrong and brought the food to the table 1 by 1. She seemed overwhelmed having to work multiple tables at once and was confused by items on the menu. Food - absolutely do NOT order the shrimp and grits omelette (you'll get about 4 shrimp) and the grits that accompany the dish are disgusting (spinach and red pepper). What saved this from being a one star review? The exceptional customer service by the manager Brandon Reaves Thank you for your kindness, willingness to make it right and ownership of the situation. All of this to say, if you really want to go to Eggs Up Grill, visit one of the other locations in Columbia (try Devine Street - you'll likely have a wait, but the service and food are consistent). *PS didn't even take pictures of the food, you're not missing anything* read more

Service and food was good as always, but please managers invest in some thick bacon or increase the slices with the meal ordered. Two measly slices of bacon for the price is ridiculous. Eggs Up Grill you can do better than that. read more

We really enjoyed the avocado on toast with eggs and a side of turkey bacon. The food was delivered quickly and was tasty. Our server Katie was lovely and we chatted with the manager Max for a while.
