Eggs up is near our house and we like supporting businesses in our neighborhood and we like supporting businesses in our immediate area so we decided to have breakfast here. Usually this place has a line but with other breakfast restaurants opening in the area, I think the crowds have spread out to different brunch/breakfast places. We ordered coffee and were brought water. The coffee is good. I can drink it black, no problem. They should sell the beans! I've been trying to eat healthier so got their gracious goodness breakfast, which was made with egg whites, spinach, mushrooms, feta, onions and tomatoes. It's served with either grits or hash browns and toast. I got my toast without butter. My husband got an omelet that had sausage, veggies, potatoes, etc. it came with the same sides options and he chose girls, and toast. When my egg white omelet showed up it was swimming in butter. You can see how much if you look at the picture. So much for being healthy. The toast was barely toasted and the potatoes were lukewarm and tasted like they've bit sitting in a box in the walk-in for too long. They weren't crispy either. I didn't eat the potatoes and only ate half of the omelet. I also had a side of corned beef hash because it's one of my favorites. My husband said his omelet was just okay. Next time we go for breakfast we will probably go somewhere else. I know the Eggs Up Grill where I grew up closed (it was in Mt Pleasant SC). The difficulty in franchise restaurants is the quality control. This Eggs Up might be suffering from the same thing. I hope the owner pays more attention to food quality This was just an okay breakfast for me. I don't know that I'd order the same read more

PARKING: Plethora of parking due to being located in a shopping center. AMBIANCE: The restaurant is pretty casual and isn't particularly big. Unfortunately they don't take reservations, however we didn't have to wait too long to be seated despite being fairly busy. SERVICE: Friendly waitress who checked on us a decent amount of times. No complaints. FOOD: I was in love with their menu. I saw a variety of options that I wanted to try with very fair pricing. Unfortunately, I won't get to frequent this restaurant as much as I would love to. Coastal Crab Cake Benedict Two crab cakes stacked on toasted garlic bread with poached eggs, Hollandaise sauce, and a dash of Old Bay seasoning. Served with home fries, grits, or fresh fruit. Caramel Apple Pancakes Two buttermilk pancakes with apple pie crumble griddled in for a crispy crunch, topped with caramelized fire-roasted Fuji apples, caramel sauce, and powdered sugar Crab-ocado Scrambler Eggs scrambles with Cheddar cheese and topped with crabcakes, and fresh avocado, bacon, spinach, caramelized red onion, and creamy hollandaise. Served with toast and home fries or grits. Creme Brulee French Toast Two pieces of custard dipped Texas toast layered with vanilla cream and topped with a caramelized brown sugar crunch and sweet caramel drizzle. Served with bacon or sausage. Mimosa Flight Peach Blueberry Strawberry Lemonade Orange Cranberry read more

Always a great meal. Charming companion had Shrimp + grits and I had the Philly steak omelet. Shrimp + grits were seasoned perfectly tho my omelet was a tad in the salty side - most likely from the cheese and the home fries were just a tad over seasoned with old bay - but nothing ketchup couldn't fix. Only instance of this in close to a dozen visits there. read more

Nothing like over cooked poached eggs, cold potatoes, and the worst quality corned beef hash I've ever had. On a side note some of the wait staff is horrible, they refused to let an elderly couple sit at a both near the door that was just cleaned and saI'd it was for wait staff, yet 5min later they sat another family sit in the same booth... like wow. read more

8/7/23 11:54am They only had two wait staff working so there was a little wait. Understood. The waitress was pleasant. I ordered veggie omelette minus the tomatoes, home fries w/onions and toast. Sweet tea to drink. The atmosphere is family style. Very bright and cheerful upon walking in. The omelette is very good. As are the potatoes. Excellent! The sweet tea was even good! All around a good experience. I will definitely eat here again. read more

I wanted to try somewhere new for my birthday breakfast last week and landed on this location of Eggs Up Grill. Since it was a Tuesday, there were only a handful of occupied booths, so we were seated right away. I overheard another patron telling our server that her birthday had been on Sunday and was confused why she mentioned that until I checked Eggs Up's website and noticed they have a birthday reward program offering a free breakfast. I was signing up as she came over, and she agreed to let me have the promo even though it didn't send me an email, which was super sweet. I imagine there's usually some sort of waiting period for the email. I ordered the strawberry lemonade spritzer with a Greek omelet and fruit as my side with sourdough toast. I also added an extra side of bacon, and thank goodness I did -- it was perfectly crispy and so dang good! Everything else was tasty also. Service was friendly, the meal was satiating, and the space was inviting. I would definitely go back sometime. read more

Okay, it's a chain. GET OVER IT. There is a difference between a Mc-chain that is formulaic and focused on table turnover vs a chain that is still small-school minded as if it is a stand alone. I think Eggs Up is in that sweet spot where they have refined their corporate menu without losing the mom and pop service approach. We were very happy with our meal. First, the set up. This location is in a strip mall corner spot. Parking is obviously going to be easy. We got there on a Saturday at about 11 (it is open I think from 6 to 2) and were immediately seated. Maybe a dozen 4 tops pulled into various configs plus a bartop area seating maybe 6. I ordered the founder's hash and eggs. I think you can learn a lot about a breakfast place by how they treat corned beef hash. If it's straight from food supplier Sysco or even Hormel canned stuff, the rest is going to reflect that approach to the customer experience. Eggs Up relies on its "founder's recipe" for hash. What that ended up being was a VERY well seasoned well considered meat offering that was actually made from what tasted like real corned beef. Like NYC style corned beef, with spices. I was very impressed with the flavor. Not as impressed with the hash portion size. See my pictures. Maybe I expect too much, but this is a small portion of hash compared to other breakfast places. Still, the eggs were cooked perfectly and the grits tasted like they were made on site rather than instant. Notably, the grits were not over-salted which is a real plus. My partner had a biscuit with a fried chicken pattie, cheese, egg, bacon, and a nice pepper jelly. I'd know the name of this offering if the store's website actually displayed the current menu. Her overall meal was great tasting, though the biscuit itself did not hold up to its contents and the thing quickly turned into a knife and fork affair. She also had the grits, which were again great. Coffee was good, service was excellent. We are adding it to the rotation, despite a few rough edges. read more

Great find! Service was friendly, food was yummy! Blueberry pancakes were just what my mom was looking for! Will return when I am in the area again! read more

The food was excellent. I can only say that my preference for home fries is for them to be slightly crunchy. The portions of breakfast meats seemed a little large by comparison with other breakfast venues, not complaining just an observation. Staff was friendly and efficient, service was great. As good of an experience as I had this morning, I'm a little shocked the place isn't packed constantly. read more

Eggs Up Grill - Creme Brulee French Toast, Coastal Crab Cake Benny , Steak & Eggs, Grits, Home Fries, Mango Mimosa. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

4 stars for potential, 3 stars for today's experience. The menu has a big selection at great prices, although nothing too creative in options. The restaurant is bright, airy, and cute. The server was friendly. We ordered and got our drinks pretty quickly. Coffee is weak, but okay. The food took a while. When it came out, I could immediately see the bacon and sausage were so over cooked and dry that they were almost inedible; the plate probably sat under the lamp. We pointed it out and the server offered to replace those. Unfortunately, it took 15-20 min for fresh ones to come out. My husband ate the egg and biscuit with gravy, waiting for the rest. Given how long it took, they should have just made a fresh plate. The fresh bacon and sausage were MUCH better. My blt bomb sandwich was very good and the chicken on the chicken and waffles was really tasty. The kids menu has a good selection, great value, and my little one was really happy were her meal. They were out of crayons and sounds like they have been for a while. Crayons are pretty inexpensive to replace, if you are going to have activity menus. Despite the mistakes, we would still go again. read more

I love a good brunch but most of the brunch spots are downtown in Richmond. Glen Allen doesn't have a whole lot or if they do then they are always so booked on the weekends. I was meeting a friend and wanted to find a unique spot and Eggs Up Grill was great! It's in a shopping center that you would probably pass by and not realize this DELICIOUS place is. The inside is pretty cool and the staff is super nice and checks on you. I got Coastal crab cake Benedict with French fries and a mimosa and both were fantastic! We got there at 1:00 and they closed at 2 and we didn't feel pressured, we weren't getting stares and finished right before 2. I would definitely eat here again! HIGHLY recommend! read more

The food was great, we ordered the chicken fried steak & eggs and the carne asada breakfast burrito with a pancake on the side! We went in for a Sunday brunch and they were very busy but we got seated immediately, our server was super friendly and checked in on us semi-frequently, she was super busy though so it was understandable. The overall vibe in the restaurant is great for such an open concept and being so busy the noise level was surprisingly quiet. Will definitely be returning for another Sunday brunch! read more

Most of the food was OK and the service was good. However, the batter for the pancakes and waffle taste the same and it wasn't good at all. I think if you had real buttermilk pancakes and a lighter batter for the waffles, it would make this restaurant amazing. read more

I was thoroughly dissatisfied by this place. The one in Chesterfield was actually good, but this was a disappointment. The eggs Benedict had buttered toast on the bottom instead of an English muffin, the hollandaise was garbage, and the eggs were overcooked and congealed. The coffee was decent and my wife enjoyed the waffle. Service was pretty good and the restaurant was very very slow on a weekday morning. read more

We were seated immediately and our server was very pleasant. I had a refreshing iced coffee and the yogurt parfait. Don't know that I would call it a parfait since it's served in a bowl but it was yummy. Vanilla yogurt, berries, and honey granola. My son ordered a Good Morning Sunrise - OJ, club soda, and grenadine. It was very tasty. He got the Great American Cheeseburger and was surprise that it was 2 patties. (I hired it helps to read the menu). He said the burger was ok. We'll definitely return next time we visit Richmond read more

I had seen the Southside location of Eggs Up open a while back, but never made it over. So, was glad to see a West End location open. It's tucked in the side shopping center of the YMCA and Publix, and if you're nostalgic like me in knowing this area, it used to be Rudinos grinder restaurant. Anyway, I had the pleasure of trying this restaurant two days in a row, so definitely a good measure of food and service to review! On my first visit, it was a Sunday after church, probably around 11am or so. There was a short wait maybe 15-20 mins, which isn't bad for Sunday brunch anywhere. The place definitely picked up even more by noon or so with obviously more people waiting for tables. The restaurant is bright and open inside, and honestly has a small waiting area in the front by the doors. I actually opted to wait for my table outside in the car, and just checked back in, as they don't have a text system or buzzers or anything. The parking lot is super close so no biggie, just worth noting. On this initial visit I went traditional-ish, opting for the French toast. I have to admit I was so impressed they treat southern people right by giving sides with french toast!! I was so excited to see that, and hate when restaurants are like french toast, that's all you get. I went for bacon and potatoes, and was pleased with my meal. I have to admit, the potatoes could use some work, as they were seasoned but like the seasoning that doesn't cook into the food or give it flavor, and is just surfaced, if that makes sense. Even though the weekend was busy, the food was served in a reasonable time, and overall we're probably in and out once seated in about an hour. On my second visit, my friend and I dined on a Monday morning before 10am, and were seated immediately. The service was consistent, which was nice to see and experience. I tried the waffle, half waffle actually, based on a recommendation from another friend. The waffle was beautiful and cooked perfectly and was delish! This came with bacon and eggs. I opted to add a side of breakfast potatoes, you know trying to redeem those from Sunday. They were a tad better, but still could use some improvement. As a newer restaurant, I definitely give some grace there, and hope they continue to improve the flavor profile of them soon. Overall, great food, great service, and great location and I highly recommend for a fast casual brunch option! read more

Beyond my eggspectations... have I mentioned breakfast and brunch are my favorite meals??! I'm so thrilled this restaurant opened up near my work! Get used to my face, I'll be here often! My daughter and I came in for their opening and it was fabulous! Here's what's great about EUG: Food: I ordered the Three Little Deuces, a pancake, egg and bacon combo! The pancakes were big, fluffy and tasty, and who doesn't like a light sprinkle of powdered sugar on top! The eggs were fresh and well cooked. The bacon ordered crispy came out perfect. I had a side of grits which came out with a nice consistency, not too runny or too thick. I was glad they served Earl Grey tea... lovely! My daughter ordered the Build Your Own breakfast sandwich... a huge amount of cheesy scrambled eggs & sausage on a grilled buttery biscuit! Have it your way, so many options! Her side of fruit was fresh and flavorful! She had the coffee which was Ah-mazing! Perfect cuppa Joe! Her cup was never empty as the server came often to refill! Menu: This menu is not only varied and serves breakfast options like Benedicts, Breakfast Sandwiches, Pancakes, French Toast & Waffles, Brunch Bowls, Omelets, Classic Combos, but they also offer Avocado Toast, Biscuits & Gravy, Chicken & Waffles, Shrimp & Grits and a wide selection of sides. And that's not all folks... for lunch they have Burgers, Wraps, Sandwiches and Salads! For beverages, the choices seem endless... Spritzers, Coffees, Juices, Sodas, Hot Cocoa, and Mimosas!! (yes! Please!!) I love the Egg 101 description, the personal welcome from the owners, and the history of the restaurant on the menu! Service: impeccable service! From the greeter/hostess who welcomed us and showed us to our booth to Sophie our server, to Jess who was training all the servers, to the owner Rob... we felt like family instantly! Rob came a checked on our table and we had the most engaging chat. What a friendly, efficient and personable staff! Atmosphere: A bright, cheery space with yellow lighting fixtures that greet you like a ray of sunshine! Comfortable seating, nice layout, super clean and aesthetic! Price: Great value with price points that won't empty your wallet! The prices are fair and reasonable for the quantity and quality of the food! Most meals are under $10! The grand opening seemed to run like clockwork! You'd think they'd been open for years when you experience the smooth process of ordering and delivery of the food! On the weekends, expect a wait because this place will be hopping! Can I give more than 5 stars? This place is off the charts!! And that's no yolk!! ;-) read more

Eggs Up Grill - Shrimp & Grits Bowl - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

Delicious and great quality food! I was so happy with my order after finding this restaurant on Uber eats! I got the crab cake Benedict which I highly recommended, with a side of bacon and sliced tomatoes!! I never had any kind of egg benedict so needless to say my first experience was an awesome one. The hollandaise sauce fully coated the poached eggs which made the flavor that much better and the crab cake really has crab meat and not a bunch of filler. Instead of the traditional English muffin they use a buttered toasted bread which was a phenomenal pairing. My only regret which wasn't the restaurant's fault,was Uber eats doesn't give you the option on how you want the poached eggs cooked, so they ended up poached hard, I really wish I could've tried it with a runny yolk, but delicious nonetheless. The menu was super extensive with so many good options it was so hard to choose, needless to say I'll be back!! read more

Stumbled upon eggs up grill after searching for breakfast places on Yelp. I was not disappointed at all. Very clean, bright, and open restaurant. Our waitress Jennifer was a sweetheart and accommodating. Michelle checked in on us as well and was very nice. Only complaint is we saw a lot of the meals sit on the counter under the heat lamp for quite some time before the runners would bring it out. Our food wasn't all that warm and it is likely because we watched as it sat there for some time. The toast on the crab cake Benedict was sadly burnt. Overall great staff, clean atmosphere, good prices, and good food. read more

I was eggcited to hear that there's a new breakfast place that opened up closer to home. We decided to order takeout on a Saturday morning. We got: Avocado toast & eggs - the toast was a bit soggy and the "avocado" was more of like a bad guacamole with extra citrus juice that was meant to cover Biscuits and gravy - underwhelming, Hardee's biscuit and gravy is better! Three little deuces - pancakes were alright, the bacon was soggy and oily Side of home fries - potatoes weren't cooked thoroughly, some parts were cooked, other parts were raw I also wanted to talk about my pick up experience. I went in to pick up on time and stood in the waiting area to be helped. One of the ladies working there was helping another customer so I patiently waited to get her attention after. After they were helped, the lady promptly left to go do something. I waited probably about 10-15 minutes to be helped. During that time, a couple of works walked through the waiting area to put menus away and didn't acknowledge me. There was also other workers hanging in the back of the restaurant just chatting and looked my way a few times but no one attempted to help. I ended up having to interrupt someone to get some help! TLDR; food was alright, some parts were underwhelming. Inattentive service, I most likely won't be back anytime soon. read more

This is a typical breakfast and lunch type of place. The food is ok but unremarkable. I had the chicken and biscuit brunch meal. The chicken was over-fried, but otherwise ok. I usually go to the local places instead of chains, but this place was convenient. It had fine service, so no worries there. It lacks the excitement of watching brawls at the Waffle House, or the nefarious activities of a Denny's at 2am, but it works. The menu is pretty standard, but again, its fine. read more

First off hip hop hooray for a breakfast spot that is only a short walk away! Seriously, I've lived in this area for 5 years without one so I APPRECIATE YOU EGGS UP GRILL! Location location location. So I'm giving 4 stars only cause I ordered my fried egg to be fried hard and it was runny. However when I called out the error the server was SUPER friendly and apologetic, she would've had another one made for me but I don't like to waste food if I can help it so I squeezed all the liquid egg out and ate around it. (Her name was Jennifer and I found out she loves runny eggs-might've been a subliminal thing but yeah Jennifer was great!!!) The home fries seasoning seems to need a tad more salt. Aside from the two above items, this place is fantastic. Food is reasonably priced and they have a nice selection. Good for kids and groups, this place should be here to stay for a while! Oh, they have mimosas so there is that! read more

My mom and I were looking for a new brunch spot and came across Eggs Up Grill. There are many brunch spots in Richmond but not many with a wide variety of breakfast and lunch options so we were really intrigued. We came in on a Saturday around 12:30pm and surprisingly it wasn't super busy we were seated right away. Our server was very nice and welcoming. We started off with the poinsettia mimosa carafe, which was reasonably priced and really tasty. We were both glad that it came without ice so it wasn't watered down over time. There were so many options on the menu that it was hard to choose but I settled on the grand classic and got my eggs made into an omelette with cheese. My mom ordered the avocado toast, added an extra egg turned her eggs into an omelette and got Turkey sausage on the side. Both of our meals were pretty good (what you would expect for diner food). The eggs could've been a little better in my opinion but my mom loved her omelette, however she said the avocado toast was just ok. The staff were all friendly and it was a pretty nice atmosphere, a slight upgrade from your typical diner. It was nice to try something new and actually get your money's worth with nice food servings. read more

Been here twice (different locations each time) and had similar experiences at both. Service was okay both times.

Omelette had uncooked peppers and onions both times as well. read more
