This was my second visit to Toastery, the first being pre-Covid. Although I really enjoyed my food during both visits, my husband did not find his burger to be very flavorful this go around. This past weekend, I ordered a pretty basic omelette, which was fine, and the side of potatoes were excellent. I would have to order something else to better evaluate the food now. However, I think the best part of Toastery is the beautiful outdoor patio space to be enjoyed in nice weather! Plan to wait at least 45 minutes on a beautiful morning! read more

After a busy morning of hustle and bustle we stopped into the Famous Toastery for brunch on a Thursday. Having been to every other FT in my area and just recently moving to Davidson we finally had the opportunity to see if this one was just as good. This one might be the best. Great atmosphere with the homey feel you might expect from downtown Davidson. The staff was very friendly, the food was amazing and we will definitely be making our way back to this spot, if not making it a regular occurrence. read more

Vanessa was our server and what a really pleasant experience! Excellent service with a smile. We visit the Toastery when we're in town and the food!! Never disappoints. read more

This is a gem for locals, and my go to for breakfast in Davidson. A little bigger inside than it looks and outside seating for the warmer months, a charming location for this chain that has never disappointed me. I order from the old menu and they always accommodate me, and all the servers are great and will give you interesting tidbits - one time they told me the biscuits just came out so I went ahead and got one hot and fresh and it was fantastic. For breakfast the prices are a bit on the higher end and it definitely gets crowded but I know the busy times and have never had an issue or a wait. Love this place! read more

Loved the food and the service. We walked around Davidson and found this perfect brunch spot. The service was quick. Prices were good for the amount of food and had plenty options for everyone. read more

Famous Toastery - The Famous Hash - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Davidson, North Carolina

I love this location. The waiters are prompt and friendly. The location has some tricky parking, but it is worth it. The restaurant itself is warm and inviting and very comfortable. This is one of my favorite places to eat in Davidson because it is on the Main Street where you can see people and cars go by. The menu selection is just like all the other locations, but I enjoy how much faster the food comes out here. Definitely the best brunch spot in Davidson. read more

After waiting for a table for 30 minutes, I got the rubber omelet for brunch. The omelet was great, but I was disappointed by the fact that they were out of Turkey. I got it without Brie so it was just egg whites and roasted veggies. The tasted good but I added pico and hot sauce to make up for what it was missing. The potatoes were good but seemed super fatty, and the fruit wasn't awesome. My server seemed confused by my request that I get a gluten free meal, and wasn't super helpful. He wasn't friendly and he wasn't accommodating. Finished my water shortly after being seated and didn't get any refills. The other workers seemed nicer and happier to be there. A good meal, but the service wasn't good. I blame the wait on short staffing, and completely understand it. I'll try it again but wasn't impressed by my first visit. read more

Famous Toastery - The Runner Omelet - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Davidson, North Carolina

I cannot believe I have deprived my tastebuds & tummy from visiting Toast! My boyfriend & I made a point to head on over this morning though & an 8 AM opening time saw us, plus quite a few other couples, too. This was a good sign! They opened the door & allowed all of us to file in & choose our own table. The cafe is a decent size, but mainly just tables seating two & four. As soon as we sat down, we had a young waiter come over & ask for our drink choice. A minute later, out came my coffee (in a huge mug - score!) & my boyfriend ordered apple juice, which came in a medium size plastic cup. They also brought out huge plastic cups of water. Another minute later, fresh, warm cornbread appeared at our table. YUM! I'm such a sucker for cornbread. It was light, fluffy, & cooked perfectly. About another minute, a young girl came & took our brunch/breakfast order. I order the two eggs (scrambled), grits, white toast, & bacon. My boyfriend ordered the stuffed french toast, with eggs, & bacon. Within five minutes, we received our food. Presentation was top notch! Everything looked great on the plate. Luckily, our food tasted as good as it looked! The eggs were light & fluffy, the toast was toasted nicely, bacon is thick cut, with no fat & grease, & the grits weren't too thick or too runny. Shawn's meal was equally as good (he said); however, he wished the stuffed french toast had more strawberries & not so much cream cheese. The wait staff came over quite frequently to check on us, refill my coffee, & make sure we didn't need anything else. Other notes: looks like a typical cafe, has a "homey" feel to it, with wooden tables/chairs, greenery vines hanging around, local artwork on the walls (which are for sale). Wait staff is efficient & quick. Cafe is clean. Prices are reasonable, especially when you look at the food portions. This will be a place I'll definitely frequent! read more

I tried to go there this morning, gave my name/number to the hostess and was told it would be a 15-20 min wait. After 35 minutes I called to get an update on our wait. The hostess rudely stated she had texted me 3 times, when I told her I hadn't received any text, she again rudely stated she had and I should check my phone. Then she asked me what my phone number was, when she realized she had typed it in incorrectly because her nails were so long she couldn't properly perform her duties, she again rudely told me our table was ready and hung up! read more

I cannot say enough about this restaurant - every single time I've been here, the service and food has been top-notch! From their flights of iced coffees, to their other-worldly Avocado Benedict, to their tuna melts - FANTASTIC! read more

Great menu and service. Banana nut pancakes, omelettes and huevos rancheros are a must. Biscuits are flaky and cooked perfectly. Definitely a great place for breakfast and inexpensive. read more

Food is over priced for what it is. I had a classic Benedict on biscuit instead of an English muffin... the biscuit was so old it was like a hockey puck. $14 for what? My girlfriend got a quesadilla and it hardly had any cheese... $15. The waitress took 5 mins to get our drinks and came back with only water, not the OJ we asked for. Then 5 more mins to take our order. A different server brought us our food WITH THE RECEIPT. We didn't see a waitress again our entire meal. Terrible food and even worse service. read more

Ignored! Took 45 minutes to get a hamburger and two eggs. Waitress who took our order spent at least 30 minutes flirting with a male customer. Cashier who took our money asked how was everything. When I said 'very disappointing' she didn't ask why or even acknowledge that I said anything. Plenty of wait staff. No one waiting to be seated. No one offered to refill the ice tea. Wait staff just looked right through you as if you were invisible. This was our first visit here since moving to Davidson. Probably our last. read more

OK. Went back for another try. I drive by and see the people waiting to get in, so I felt it was only fair that I give it another chance. The service is great, people watching is great, and their outdoor seating is dog friendly. SO it's disappointing that the food doesn't measure up. This time I had the Huevos Rancheros. The dish was mostly a pile of refried black beans, and I feel confident, like the corn beef hash, it was from a can. The person I was with agreed. The only tortillas involved where store bought salad-type tortilla strips, almost certainly not "fresh". Minimal salsa. Expensive for iHop quality. I would wager that much of their food is not fresh. read more

They are open on Christmas Eve. The food was good compared to other times I've been and the service was fast.

2nd time i've tried this place. decided to order the biscuits n gravy combo which includes 2 eggs any style. had them prepare scrambled eggs. let me start by saying the service is very good. everyone is attentive (almost to a fault) and fast.... but the meal was terrible. eggs were cold and the biscuits and gravy were way, way too salty. couldn't finish it and quite frankly didn't look appetizing at all. think i'll look around for another breakfast spot. read more

Famous Toastery - Country Benedict - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Davidson, North Carolina

Went to Famous Toastery for the first time today. Food was excellent! Service and experience was exceptional! We will definitely be back. Wait was about 25 minutes for Brunch today which wasn't too bad for noon on a Sunday. They turn tables quickly and the food looked delicious as we were waiting. When we were seated, our server was super friendly and got our drink orders right away. When she took our food order she offered some suggestions which we appreciated and then she brought us some fresh cornbread with yummy homemade apple butter. Fiancé ordered a blah blah blah omelette with cheddar and ham with a side of country potatoes and sourdough. Mama ordered a blah blah blah omelette as well with pepper jack, spinach, mushroom and onions with a side of grits and sourdough. I ordered the corned beef and hash crispy, with medium poached eggs, hollandaise on the side and sourdough. Also since it looked so good, we got an order of standard French toast with fresh strawberries and crispy bacon to share. As they brought out our food, the food runner accidentally knocked my fiancé's sweet tea down. Now this could have made this first experience a very bad one. But they were super apologetic and though a little wet, we totally understand accidents happen. Also probably partially our fault for having the drink on the end of the table. The food runner didn't see the drink due to all the food he was carrying. Anyhow they cleaned up the floor immediately and brought us napkins to wipe down as well. Being distracted with the spilling of the tea and the grumbling of our tummies, I forgot to take pictures of our untouched food but luckily I remembered before we finished devouring everything and will include that. Now in regards to the food it tasted just as good as it looks. Fiancé liked his omelette so much that by the time I had finished buttering and putting strawberry jam on my toast, his omelette was gone. I sneaked a piece of his potatoes and they were seasoned really well and perfectly crispy. Mama really liked her omelette but said next time she'll order with cheddar since the pepper jack was a little spicy. Even then, she ate the whole thing. Though we didn't finish it since we had so much other food to try, we all had a bite of her grits and it was seasoned well and delicious with a little extra butter added into it. I think the French Toast is made with brioche and it was light and fluffy and just mMmMm! Usually you have to ask for the syrup to be warmed but here they automatically bring you warmed syrup. My food was super yummy and I would definitely order it again. Eggs were poached medium so they weren't slimy but the yolk was runny and perfect. The corned beef was crispy on the outside and perfectly seasoned. Mama doesn't like corned beef and she thought it was excellent. I almost forgot about the hollandaise sauce since I asked for it on the side. But it brought the dish to an even higher level. Hollandaise was creamy and flavorful but light. I've ordered eggs benedict from many restaurants and their hollandaise sauce is probably the best I've had. Now though we were not at all expecting it, the manager stopped by to apologize again for the spilling of the tea and comped our entire meal. We tried to tell him no and that we didn't expect that at all and would be happy to pay for our meals but he said it was already taken care of. Since they did not allow us to pay for our check, we just left a great tip instead. We thanked our server again for the delicious food and great service. Also to thank their manager for going above and beyond for us. She said it was part of their culture to make sure customer experience was excellent. If you haven't tried this place, just do it! It's worth the wait! You'll be one of many who will leave with a full tummy, happy taste buds and a smile on your face. read more

Came on a Sunday morning with my other half around 9am. We parked on the street and had no difficulty finding a spot close to the restaurant. We were greeted and seated immediately. The place was very busy. Decent size and decorated with what seems like local artists' paintings. Fun, laid back atmosphere. Outdoor seating is available. They have a complimentary coffee station outside for waiting customers. Love that. We had 2-3 different servers wait on us. All were friendly and helpful. We tried the following: Almond milk cappuccino Almond milk latte Cornbread with apple butter Avocado Benny Breakfast Quinoa bowl Side of fruit Side of breakfast potatoes Side of french toast The espresso drinks were tiny, but strong. We were hoping for flavored syrups to go in the drinks, but they didn't have any. One of the servers brought us complimentary cornbread with apple butter shortly after we ordered drinks. I like my cornbread on the sweeter side and theirs was just that. The apple butter complimented it. My avocado benny came with a whole avocado cut in half and each half was topped with an egg cooked over medium, Pepperjack cheese, and cajun spices. It also came with pico de gallo and fresh fruit on the side. It was delicious, light, but filling. I don't normally eat half an avocado let alone a whole one, so I gave the other half to my other half, which he added to his quinoa bowl. The french toast came with 2 slices of bread, cut in half. It was good, but had a strong cinnamon taste. It wasn't overwhelming, but I like my french toast to have just a touch of cinnamon. I thought the breakfast potatoes were cooked perfectly, a bit crispy. After finishing my side of fruit, avocado benny, half of the french toast, and a few bites of the potatoes, I was stuffed. I did not get a chance to try my SO's quinoa bowl. He ate all of it, though so that's a good sign. Our total came to $43.79. When we left, the waiting area was full of people waiting to be called. Good portions, great service, and reasonable prices. We will definitely return! read more

Breakfast burrito was an excellent first time choice. Highly recommended. Will go again and try something else.

I had heard great things for this place from my friends who regularly visit it for breakfast or brunch. My expectations were fairly high, but they weren't quite met. The food was good and there was a great selection, however, it wasn't something that Will be my first choice. Also, there were some mishaps with our orders; the drinks were mixed and they did not make the food orders how we asked them (ex. They added Mayo even if we asked to not add any). These were minor things but still it is something that I noticed. We felt a bit intimidated by some of the stuff members as well, and that was one of the main reasons I wouldn't go back any time soon. read more

Met some friends for breakfast here. This is a great local chain that serves really good food. We have tried this for breakfast as well as lunch and both are really good. Today I had the omlet with potatoes and a biscuit. I loaded up the omlet so I didn't need another meat. Quality of the omlet was very good. All of the ingredients were cooked well. Service was very good. They have a concept that you have multiple servers so you aren't searching for help. They were attentive but let our party have privacy. This location has a very warm feeling. Lots of dark wood and is classy. Recommend frequenting this business. read more

Brought a table of 10 in, we called ahead to let them know we were coming and we said we prefer to sit together but it's alright if we get split or have to wait. They ended up making the decision to sit us outside. It started raining and they did not accommodate for it and the manager ended up talking to us and saying "we really were not wanting to sit anyone outside." When it wasn't our decision at all, it was the staffs. We received no apology and we had no where to sit to eat our food when it was ready. Ended up leaving with the food to eat at home. They made it sound like it was our fault. We paid and tipped and realized they charged us for two extra meals. We wish the manager would have apologized and that our bill would have been checked over. Our waitress Jada was super nice and great, she did everything right! read more

I went in to the famous toastery and was bombarded with fake attitude. I could hear the people talking smack about me behind my back. The food was okay-nothing to write home about. Not a pleasant customer service experience read more

Service and food were both great. The Classic Waffle was especially good and sweet almost like sweet cream flavor even before the syrup.

Hooray! I'm beyond excited to learn that Famous Toastry is again open for business and delivery. It had been at least 3 years since I eaten a delicious freshly prepared breakfast . By happenstance I found Famous Toastry. Absolutely stellar! This may be the only reason I will keep my Door-Dash app. read more

Oh my goodness, this place really lives up to the name. We had a late lunch and were seated immediately. Our server was very knowledgeable and although I was going to order the California salad, her recommendations of the Coastal BLT and Reuben quickly changed our minds. Wow, I'm sure what we were going to order would've been great but what we did order was delicious. While we waited for our lunch she brought us some cornbread with their homemade cinnamon applesauce...it was so good I asked if they sold the applesauce and if not that they should. If you are in the area you should definitely check this place out, you will not be disappointed. read more

Came here twice for breakfast on a trip down south. Excellent food and friendly staff. Both times I was waited on by Lexi who was very nice and offered up some cool ideas for things to do while I was in the area. First day I had 2 eggs, meat and house fries with a side of french toast. The french toast was really good; a hint of nutmeg set it apart from any other french toast I've had. The second day was special. I ordered the Cali benedict which layered poached egg, avocado and tomato on an english muffin covered in hollandaise. Also came with a choice of side. Just...wow. Tasty food, welcoming staff and excellent coffee makes this a go-to breakfast joint if you're in the area. Highly recommendable! read more

Famous Toastery - Cali Benedict - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Davidson, North Carolina

Rating: 3.5/5. The fresh $12.99 crab roll came with a small side of crisp cucumbers. The crab meat mixed with mayonnaise tasted slightly bland. Moreover, the size portion was too small to be fulfilling. The waiter made a mistake on the order of a crab roll. Initially, he brought a lobster roll. To be honest, I told him so. The fresh-looking lobster meat was paired with iceberg lettuce. Nevertheless, the size portion of the lobster meat was small. So, the ~ $17 lobster roll went back to the kitchen. And the ordered crab roll arrived afterwards. The clean decor was relaxing and homey. The bathroom was clean with no changing table. Their free wifi for customers wasn't working. You can park easily on the street for free up to two hours from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.. The food was fresh. But I would hesitate to come back here because of the size portion. read more

First time here and food, atmosphere and staff were all excellent! Will definitely return!

This location is great! Sometimes the parking can be tricky and the inside of the restaurant is quite small. However, once you come in, you'll love your meal! We came in for brunch on a Sunday and were seated quickly. The servers all rotate and kind of float around. This is great because they seem to be a well-oiled machine. The meals are always delicious and I think you can't go wrong with Famous Toastery! read more

My lovely wife said we just had to try this famous local institution. Weekend special crepes: 2 banana Cinnamon and included 3 stripes of bacon and one egg any style. She was not impressed. Tasted like 'uncooked pie filling" she said. I would says that is not particularly good. I had the weekend special shrimps and grits. Creamy cheddar grits topped with a brown grave with shrimp and sausage. Very satisfying. The provide a basket of corn bread which was just ok, and a very small amount of apple butter which was delicious. My wife said the coffee "was the worst". This place is famous, but not that great. We won't be back. Service was 5/5. Food was 3/5. Overall 3/5 read more

Charming little breakfast/lunch spot that's sure to please any hungry belly. Famous Toastery, or Toast as I've always known it, is nestled on the same street as the famous Kindred which means there's no designated parking lot so expect to be driving around on a busy Saturday as I found myself doing last weekend (April 22nd). Thankfully, I didn't have to drive too far as I was able to pull into a spot on a nearby street. I was meeting my best friend for brunch so I walked in and was told there would be a 5-10 minute wait which it was exactly (less than 10 minutes). I was able to be seated without my friend being there which I appreciated. As I waited, I placed my mimosa order and the waitress brought out waters for the both of us. The mimosa was mixed perfectly and at a decent price of $5.50 for a deep wine glass portion. I placed my order for the combo consisting of a pancake, 1 egg, and slices (about 3-4) of bacon. My best friend, who's vegan, placed her order for a black bean wrap. The waitress had to ask if the black bean wrap was made with any dairy products and even then she said that she couldn't get a definitive answer. My friend decided to just go ahead and order it. We both ended up greatly enjoying our meals. I was pleasantly surprised that the bacon was thick cut and not that weak, thin kind that's served at some establishments. My true test when going out for breakfast is the quality of coffee. However, I'd downed a cup before I went to Famous Toastery so I decided to skip out on ordering a cup this go 'round. Service was very quick so if there's a wait, do not be alarmed. You will be seated within a decent amount of time. I look forward to visiting the other FTs in the area! read more

Four very deserving stars for excellent service, delicious menu offerings and great location on Main Street. Visiting Davidson for the first time, we were lucky enough to stumble upon the Toastery while walking down the tree-lined sidewalks along the main hub of restaurants and cute shops. We found the ambience kitschy and welcoming, the food exactly what you'd expect from a hometown diner, and the service friendly and present without hovering. They serve both a lunch and breakfast menu, we only had breakfast and the variety and selection were abundant without being overwhelming. They take pride in their French toast and my husband (a bit of a French toast snob, is that a thing, another time maybe) ordering it on back to back days indicative that their pride is rightly placed. A selection of eggs Benedict gave me a bit of ordering remorse but the perfectly poached egg sitting atop a classic Benedict quickly erased it. If I lived in Davidson it might become a different Benedict each day kind of thing. read more

My daughter and a friend invited me on a Sunday for brunch. The place was busy and packed. They were already seated when I arrived. I didn't care for the location of our table (too close to the kitchen door) but our server was great and so was the food. I had my favorite breakfast (scrambled eggs, French toast, bacon) and I loved every bite. I'll definitely eat here again but seating in a different section is a must. read more
