    Toast Famous Toastery Bowl
    Lauren S.

    This was recommended to me by the hotel staff and OMG I'm so glad I listened. I got there around 930, was sat right away. I ordered the Toastery Bowl with 1 pumpkin pancake. DELICIOUS!!!! I forgot to take a picture until after I was done, it was outstanding and I had enough food for breakfast the next day. Katelyn was my server and she was quick and attentive! When I'm in town, I'll be back!!!

    They said I could have breakfast and lunch at the same time so I did!

    This is a small place where you can order breakfast or lunch at any time. I ordered breakfast potatoes and mac and cheese simply because it was around 10am and I had the option. The breakfast potatoes were absolutely delicious. Mac and cheese was decent. There were 2 servers, both shared all of the tables. Both were friendly. Food is cooked in a downstairs kitchen and brought upstairs. I would definitely recommend getting the breakfast potatoes no matter what you order.

    Stuffed French Toast side and Classic Benedict
    Brittney S.

    Stopped by for brunch and tried the Cali Benedict with a side of stuffed French toast. The French toast was pretty decent--definitely a good mix of flavors, a little sweet, a little rich, and overall a nice treat on the side. The Classic Benedict was a solid savory option--flavorful and satisfying without being too heavy. The potatoes were a nice bonus, with a light crisp that added great texture. I also had the fresh-squeezed orange juice, which was a really nice touch--bright, refreshing, and paired well with the meal. Overall, a good spot for a balanced brunch with both sweet and savory options that hit the spot.

    Omelette and home fries

    The food and atmosphere was great it's just they only had one bathroom for the whole spot so people were crowding next to people trying to eat while waiting for the bathroom.

    Breakfast and drinks

    Came here on a Monday morning for breakfast. 5 of us. We waited 15 minutes to get a seat. When we finally got our seats, we already knew our orders from waiting so long. Drink orders went in and asked if we could put our food order also. After putting the whole order in, food came out first in about 5 minutes. My omelette was tasty and good, but my breakfast potatoes were really cold and under cooked. Drinks never came until we were finished with food! Then complained and still took a while. We will not be back. Plenty of other places. The manager did comp our whole meal. That was amazing and very appreciated

    Huevos Rancheros w/ chorizo ($16) + coffee ($4).
    David L.

    Found this convenient location in the center of uptown Charlotte, where there seem to be few breakfast options. The upstairs is a cute little spot, but don't get too attached to it, as they seat most customers down in the basement where the main dining area and kitchen is located. Service is fast, polite and attentive, and the menu offered plenty of breakfast/brunch options. I opted for the huevos rancheros w/ chorizo. Overall, I enjoyed this dish, but $16 for primarily black beans and two eggs seemed a little pricey. Especially because it could have used some toast to dip in the sauce, and coffee is another $4. For $20, I felt like I could have had breakfast in a nice hotel atmosphere rather than the windowless basement of Famous Toastery. However, the service is prompt, location close to many offices, and the food was good, so I returned a few days later and got the Classic Benedict w/ grits ($13) This was less successful. The Benedict was pretty basic and the grits were watery...not creamy, not cheesy, not flavorful. Even w/ the added cheddar ($1), the grits were runny. At least they offered me a refill of my coffee in a to-go cup this time, which was much appreciated. If you're in the area and looking for a quick sit-down breakfast to fill you up, Famous Toastery is a decent option for basic breakfast fare priced for the convenience of the uptown location.

    We almost missed this place because it looked like a simple cafeteria setup, but I'm so glad we stopped in. The food was absolutely wonderful--true Southern comfort done right--and the service from Angela was spectacular. I had the chicken sandwich, and my friend ordered the meatloaf; both were fantastic. The Brussels sprouts were so good we ordered an extra serving. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area!

    Scrambled eggs and beyond sausage
    Pam M.

    We had to hunt for the entrance due to the construction, but it was worth the effort. They were quite busy, but we were seated promptly and the service was quick and efficient. I had the strawberry crêpes with two scrambled eggs and beyond sausage. Hubby had a western omelette. Everything was delicious with healthy portions. The coffee was good and plentiful.

    Is there free parking?

    Hello Nat, We don’t validate parking but on weekends there should be free parking on the street.

    Does this location validate parking?

    I found it difficult to find parking because it's literally in the central part of uptown

    I highly recommend!…read more From the food, the service and the ambience everything was a wonderful experience! We visited Saturday during brunch hour with a large party. So first and foremost, let's talk about the process of this eatery, you are expected to come in and wait in line grab a menu and then order at the counter. Once you order your food you will get a number to go with your meal then you will choose your seating area for larger parties, the staff will assist and support you with seating. Patrons are not following this process and they are saving tables as they enter which is extending the wait time in line. I ordered the chicken and red velvet waffle, and it was delicious! The chicken was fried perfectly and the cream cheese drizzle paired perfect with the velvet waffle! I didn't even use syrup. I ordered a cup of Parmesan grits on the side. I recommend that you try them. All paired with a pineapple mimosa. I am looking forward to returning. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did!

    I'm always down for a good brunch, and this spot was the perfect way to wrap up our last morning in…read moreCharlotte. The Wafflery is a fast-casual breakfast spot with a surprisingly extensive menu--think waffles, biscuits, and plenty of other brunch favorites. It took me a minute to decide because everything sounded so good! Everything we ordered was flavorful and hit the spot. You can tell they don't cut corners when it comes to taste. They have two locations, and we visited the Rozzelles Ferry location, which was a great choice because there was more parking available. Just a heads up--both locations get pretty busy on weekends, but the line moves quickly, so the wait isn't too bad. If you're visiting Charlotte or just looking for a solid brunch option, this is definitely worth checking out
