Came back on our latest trip to Charlotte and found that the menu had been updated and everything we wished from our 2018 visit had come true! My husband was able to get iced cold brew coffee. I got oatmeal and yogurt and a side of turkey sausage- all my favorites to start my day. The service was great! Very friendly and prompt. We sat upstairs to the ambiance was sunny and welcoming. Would definitely come back! read more

Good food, just potatoes lacked flavor and there wasn't much ambiance inside, lacking some decor. The water tasted weird, like old. The staff was really nice though! read more

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!!! read more

Service was stretched thin I'm guessing short staffed. Food was mediocre at best. Overall just slow and could've been better. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Avocado Benedict hit the spot and overall food was above average. Not the most impressive looking spot but service on point and food is delicious and somewhat creative for breakfast. Recommended read more

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. read more

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 read more

Don't waste your time... no coffee refills, ordered OJ with me breakfast and it came out after we were done eating... only after I had to ask for it. When our food did finally come out, the delivery girl said "I'll come get someone to fill your drinks" that never happened. They took our order and no one came back for anything except to drop our cold food off. Eggs Benedict wasn't toasted... over med egg was slimy. read more

This place was packed for breakfast before the panthers game. Comfortable environment, friendly staff although I feel they could use a few more waiters or waitresses. Omelette was outstanding! read more

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. read more

Walked in no one greeted us, got sat and the table was disgusting, hostess made a rude comment when seating us and had to ask for menus. Very uncomfortable atmosphere do not go here. read more

Apple maps says validated parking they don't validate it. The food was awful I got a rock hard biscuit with an egg that had egg shells in it. Service was okay. The restaurant it's self is a safety hazard they have hand rails for the stairs that aren't fully attached to the wall. DO NOT GO HERE. Disgusting. read more

The service was exceptional! The staff kind and friendly and the food was just as delicious! Everything was great except for the humidity which they couldn't fix! read more

Your typical diner experience--solid food, solid service, solid ambiance. I opted for an untraditional diner meal (IMO) of a quinoa bowl which was quite tasty. The pancakes looked fluffy and the coffee was quite yummy. read more

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! read more

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. read more

We we're a group of 6 standing in the doorway for nearly 10 minutes and recieved no greeting or assistance. Multiple doordashers/pickup orders were getting taken care of at the counter as soon as they walked in. Made eye contact and waited patiently with 3 employees. Walked out with no experience and we're really bummed. read more

Food was ok. I got the seasonal chorizo and sweet potato hash. the hash had not been reheated all the way through. Had to send back. And it was incomplete without the peppers and onions indicated in menu. Biscuit was overbaked and chewy. Not impressed. Unfortunate, since other reviews were so complimentary. Service was ok. Nothing remarkable. And it's a bare bones atmosphere. next time I'm in town I will go elsewhere for brunch. read more

Food is amazing but a bit pricey. The restaurant is a beautiful ambiance and lends to the best atmosphere for networking and friendship. The hot chocolate is amazing. read more

Food 2/5 It was just OK. Ordered the French toast, biscuit, corned beef hash. The French toast was alright, the biscuit was too hard on the outside but the inside was flaky. The scrambled "eggs" were liquid eggs you'd find at a cafeteria so was very disappointed in that one. With the hash, we asked for eggs fried over well but they came out over easy. The hash itself was exceptional and had a nice crust to it along with good salty flavor. The smoked sausage was better than expected and had a nice pop to it. Service 5/5 This was amazing! The hostess to the waitresses were all extremely nice and brought us the many condiments we needed. Ambiance 4/5 A bit off putting as you walk in and see zero customers then they take your phone number and text you. After you're texted, you walk downstairs to where everyone is eating. Overall, there was some highs and a few lows. Would I go back? Maybe, if I wasn't paying. Or just for the smoked sausage and corned beef hash. read more

The Food was great. The staff were nice. It's not very fancy. My only negative was the place was warm inside. When you walk a bit to a place to eat I don't want to continue to sweat. I never really cooled down and almost left before I even ordered. I noticed this at lots of Charlotte places as well. read more

If you're looking for a breakfast spot that has poor service and riddled with incompetence then I have found the place for you! Picture this, you walk into a barren hotel lobby cafe themed restaurant that has a wait to be seated while there is barely anyone there. Once you get seated after waiting 20 mins with the crowd that has now accumulated at the front door, you get seated where you get to then wait another 20 mins to order, then another 20 mins to get that order then another 20 mins to get your drinks. Not including the times you have to ask to get water (3). Overall experience was abysmal. The staff are nice but they're either mismanaged or just that "slow." Food wise it's breakfast food, pretty easy not to screw up. Currently typing this in their bathroom while I wait for them to bring the check. I can stay in here another 18mins before that ever gets to our table so I have some cushion to explore the neglected abandoned offices that are right beside us. read more

The food was delicious and freshly prepared. The waitstaff was very attentive until it was time to pay then I had to approach them to get the bill. The restaurant had a mildly hipster vibe to it that was comfortable. read more

Right off the plane and into downtown, this was my first stop when I came to Charlotte for a weekend visit. It was crowded and there was a wait. The wait was worth it. I ordered biscuits with gravy, eggs scrambled with cheddar, house potatoes, and candied bacon. All of this made me miss being down south. This was definitely a good choice before a day of touring the city. Service was very "down home" and I appreciated that. Food can be outstanding and bad service can ruin it. Even with the dining area being crowded, my server was the best. And the breakfast was absolutely the best. Adding this restaurant to my list of eateries on any return visit I make to Charlotte. read more

I'm visiting Charlotte for the weekend and wanted to explore the food scene! I love pancakes and decided to give Famous Toastery a try! I like the vibe of the place. It's very cozy, I like that! My waitress was attentive and friendly. Too bad my pancakes were horrible! They were thin and mushy and lacked flavor. My eggs and bacon were both cooked wonderfully. But, I was here for the pancakes! read more

I loved the downstairs area of the restaurant. This was by far one of the best mimosa flights I've had. As far as the food it was pretty good nothing too extravagant. The bacon was really good and the shrimp grits had so much potential but they were not hot. Our waiter was nice and attentive and the restaurant was clean. I might give this place another try. read more

Biscuits and gravy are very sub par. First place I've had biscuits with sausage gravy that doesn't have any sausage at all. 15 bucks for bread with gravy on top. Rip off read more

My friends and I came here on a Monday to get some breakfast before we headed on our road trip. This place had really quick seating and the service was good and fast. As far as the food goes, it's alright. I got the daybreak burrito with breakfast potatoes. The burrito didn't have a sauce and tasted regular. Nothing special about it. The potatoes were cooked well but didn't have much seasoning either. read more

We love the Famous Toastery everywhere we go. If we see one is in town we often go out of our way to get breakfast there. We've found they aren't all the same and the experience can vary but have never been really let down by any of them. This location was a little understaffed the day we went but it was also a very quiet day. Despite being outnumbered the staff did a great job and we had no extra wait for anything. Our food was exactly what we expected and we were more than happy with the experience. We'll be back for certain! read more

I had the avocado Benedict and it was sooooo good. The watermelon mimosa was yummy too. The business was not crowded and we got seated immediately. Staff was super friendly and quick. My granddaughter had a pancake and because she's 1 we didn't put syrup on it but it didn't need it at all. The plain pancake was really good plain. read more

This was a cute spot we stopped by for breakfast after checking out of a hotel. It was recommended on Yelp of course so we headed to it. A nice young man greeted us and took our order.
