Great place for breakfast, lunch or brunch. Breakfasts are reliably great. The chicken salad is great and very finely chopped and pairs great with the tomato boat on which it is served. All the staff are awesome and the very definition of a team. Highly recommended! read more

Too busy - staff is mostly bothered about turning tables. Food is fine. Mimosas were weak.

Fast & friendly service when you come through the door. Simple things are better when fresh. Delicious food.

The food was amazing. Great corned beef hash! Homemade! Ordered to go. Everything was correct.

This is a new place for Fresh Chef and it was very good. Liked all the healthy options as sides. Very fresh

Excellent service and food. The best breakfast in the area hands down. The California omelet is a must try.

Good food and good service! Went for brunch on Sunday, got seated fairly quickly, will be back! read more

Dont ever get in line to be seated, that place puts friends based on call-in ahead of you and you will wait 3x time what they tell you!! Go elsewhere!! read more

I found this place, on Yelp, while we were traveling along Route77, heading north of Charlotte. The reviews sounded good and we were tired of the same old, same old Cracker Barrel breakfasts we'd been settling for on our road trips. Although I still highly recommend Cracker Barrel's blueberry pancakes, we were both ready for a change. Instead of breakfast, we decided on an early lunch. After serious consideration of the numerous enticing dishes, recommended by our most personable and courteous server, Taylor, we decided on NOLO Jambalaya and chicken pot pie. Homemade comfort food and lots of it as well as a warm and friendly atmosphere made this a perfect spot for us to stop. What a nice treat and diversion from the usually boring franchises along the road! We definitely plan on returning to the FRESH EGG KITCHEN the next time we travel through the area and, if you're ever in these parts, we'd recommend you do the same. read more

Really great breakfast restaurant with outdoor seating. My husband and I tried Fresh Egg for the first time last weekend, and the service was awesome! In addition to the great service we both ordered omelettes, and it was probably one of the best I've ever had - loaded with bacon and lots of avocado! We will definitely be back! read more

Foods great! Loved the atmosphere! It's by gay my favorite breakfast spot in Cornelius!

The food was very enjoyable. The restaurant was packed but the staff was still able to maintain good service. The clientele consisted of a mix crowd of families and friends. A much needed fresh breakfast place. read more

First time there today. Visiting from West Palm Beach. Breakfast was outstanding and came out fast. Owner introduced herself and made me feel very welcomed. Ambiance was nice with a great selection of 60's music playing in the background. I'll def be returning before heading back home to West Palm Beach. I would highly recommend, 10 out of 10!!! read more

Not only was the food yummy but the service was so impressive! From the moment we walked in we were made to feel right at home. You can tell the staff works together to keep everything moving and customers happy! We can't wait to go back. read more

Excellent brunch spot in Lake Norman. Recommend calling ahead to get on the waitlist because it is small.

First visit, out of town, looking for a hearty breakfast to start the day. The good. Food. Delicious. Had the Cali Benedict and the Country Ham Bene. Both tasty. Country Ham was very salty as per hubs. But we are a low-salt household, so anything salty can seem salty. Short-ish wait for a Sunday morning, less than 30 minutes is always a good thing, but means they're well liked, so be willing to wait. Bathroom was clean and seemed tended to. The bad. Service is good at the start of the meal for ordering and drinks, but deteriorates quickly once the food arrives to be ignoring at the end. Had to ask for our check when we'd clearly finished and our plates had been bussed for a while...and people waiting for a table while we sat outside. No coffee refills...not sure why. Maybe oversight or maybe their way of saying please let us turn over the table. The ugly. Not much. Maybe the fact it took over 10 minutes to get the slip to sign for card purchase. Overall, it was good food and pleasant staff, just missed the mark on the service aspect. Would I return? Yes, during the week, probably to try to the lunch menu as it looked delicious. read more

Busy, bustling, terrific breakfast place. It's small and crowded, but they bang out excellent breakfast fare pretty quickly and efficiently. I loved my eggs & corned-beef hash; best I've had in years. My dining companion immensely enjoyed his Eggs Benedict, and the couple next to us ordered awesome looking omelets. Our server wasn't exactly Little Miss Sunshine, but she was bustin' tables pretty hard, so...whatever. Cool place. read more

Great place to eat. Good food and great service! I was looking for a place to have a sit down breakfast versus fast food. I found them on Yelp and decided to try the restaurant for breakfast. I must say it was a very good experience. Quick service and attention to details, a good fresh hot breakfast made a great start to my day. I will be dining here again. read more

We have eaten at the sister restaurant to this, Fresh Chef, many times and loved it. Our experience here was not so good. The service was attentive, but that's the only bright spot. The negatives: tables are too close together, orange juice is not fresh squeezed and the food was meh. Breakfast for two, including coffee (which was bland) and tip was close to $50. read more

The absolute BEST brunch experience you'll have in the Lake Norman area! The manager Charlie and the rest of the staff are so incredibly friendly & make you always feel welcomed with a big hello! The food consistently comes out hot, and quick. Some of my personal favorites are the California Omelette, and Benedict, the Chicken Salad sandwich is fantastic, and the Blackened Salmon Sandwich is also very tasty! *Friendly Tip* The Cheddar Biscuits are a MUST! read more

Nice, local breakfast and luncheon place. Prices are reasonable and food is good. Good service and pleasant staff. Really like the hashbrowns. read more

To want $10 for A slice of toast, an avocado (not sure if half or whole) and two eggs is a bit crazy. Then I ask for over medium egg, it's underdone, on the "toast" that's barely toasted. Completely over priced therefore your food better be perfect to make it worth it. read more

I love this spot. The food is cooked when ordered, taste amazing and it is reasonably priced. I also love the fast service. I walked in, ordered take out and a few minutes after I sat down to fix my coffee, my food was ready. I was in and out in no time. Also, the staff is super friendly. I highly recommend this spot! read more

I have eaten at The Fresh Egg numerous times now and I absolutely love it. It is in the category of 'better breakfast', because the menu is better and more creative than what you will find at most other breakfast places. Today,for the second time in a week, I had a crab cake benedict. One of the creative touches on the menu is that they offer a cauliflower cake instead of english muffin. That's how I've had it, and it's delicious. For my side, I had the cheddar grits. These are some of the best grits you will ever taste. Creamy, with deep flavor from what I'm told is sharp cheddar. If you are a grits person, GET THE CHEDDAR GRITS. I also had a cheddar biscuit with my breakfast, and it was delicious. I have also had the Baja omelet and the western omelet. Both highly recommended. The breakfast potatoes are very good too. Service is quick and friendly, the food arrives hot, and Charlie the manager keeps an eye on everything and makes sure everyone is happy. You will not be disappointed with the Fresh Egg. Top notch! read more

It's a "go to" for great breakfast/brunch and lunch. Portions are good, food always reliable and tasty. Staff is great, and inside is cozy.

Great portions, and fresh food that is delicious. They have a pretty large menu for a breakfast place. I would recommend the Baja omelette.

After so many meals at home due to sheltering in place, Fresh Egg was our first restaurant that we took a chance on to dine in. The sisters that own this quaint little gem made our day! It was spotless clean! The service was impeccable! It was also our very first time to eat here. My husband had the cornbeef hash with 2 over easy eggs. I had the veggie omelette. The hash was cooked and seasoned perfectly and the over easy eggs....yum! The veggies were sautéed and filled the yummy omelette. The potatoes were great! Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside and seasoned the potatoes should be seasoned! We will be back!!! read more

Love this restaurant! I love the eggs Benedict, the Rueben sandwich is great, the club sandwich with Brie is fantastic...I haven't tried a bad thing yet! read more

Great breakfast. Social distance between tables. I recommend the chicken pot pie, they serve breakfast and lunch simultaneously.

Best food in the area. Highly recommended. Got the shrimp and grits benedict and it was awesome. Great mimosas too! read more

What a wonderful experience. Although it is a small location, the food was great and so was the service!! I would recommend totally!!

Delicious breakfast and friendly service. I had the eggs Benedict with crab cake and cheese grits, both were really good. Above average coffee, I got some to go which is saying a lot for me. Kids had pancakes which were huge and looked great. They had outdoor tables and tables inside spaced out well. read more

Stopped in this weekend to try Fresh Egg as I am forever a fan of Fresh Chef! I enjoyed the Avocado and Bacon Benne on the cauliflower cake rather than the English muffin.. HOLY cow that thing was delicious! it seems cheesy perhaps, with tons of flavor and really a great addition to a breakfast menu! I was a bit surprised at how pricy the menu was for breakfast items as a 2 egg platter runs around $10.00 and I seem to find the other local breakfast options cheaper. read more

Not please with I believe was the manager(tall curly brownish black hair white Caucasian lady). This was my first time there. The waiter was nice and the food was good. The problem came about when I was getting ready to go to the register to pay. She whisper to the lady about me and the lady ask where and look me in the face. First of all me trying to steal an omelette and a salad is bs. My eggs in my fridge at home cost 7.00 dollars for 12. People need to understand African American money is the same as a Caucasian or any other race..All races have people that steal but it seem that blacks are the only ones that have problems. Just for her reaction the waiter did not get a tip because I paid and was a very unhappy customer. Never assume anything because u make an ass out of yourself. read more

This is a great breakfast place. Service was excellent. Buttered Rye Toast, Cooked Eggs, Bacon and Pancakes.

Same space where the original Fresh Chef was, which moved 6 doors down on the same plaza. The Fresh Egg offers the same quality food and great service that we are used to with Fresh Chef. I came here for breakfast and had an omelette and requested as my side a small salad. Keep in mind that they do not have an espresso machine, so no espresso based drinks here! read more

Good food good service. The price is very reasonable and you get a good amount of food for the price. I had made to order eggs with bacon and toast. The restaurant is small and quaint but clean and has outside seating as well. Could bring dogs if sitting outside. read more
