Great reputation and definitely lived up to it, especially with brunch. I got the crabcake poached…read moreeggs and homefries. Also got the sweet potato biscuits. The crabcake and poached eggs were fantastic. The large peppers and onions were not my favorite, but the potatoes were cooked well so I was happy. Also, the sweet potato biscuits were a fantastic appetizer and I'd absolutely recommend them. The parking lot does fill up on busy weekends, so expect to struggle to find parking unless you get there early. Otherwise, the experience of eating here was a breeze. We got our name on the list, got a call when the 30 minutes was up, and were promptly seated when we came in. Service was friendly and quick. I really enjoyed this place for brunch and look forward to trying some of their specials next time I come in. The pumpkin pancakes (presumably seasonal) looked incredible!

Long wait for decent-ish food. They say a lot is fresh and if that's the case they may want to…read morecheck expiration dates. The fresh squeezed orange juice was very comparable to Tropicana. I worked at a diner for 5 years with fresh squeezed and this was fresh out of a box maybe. They don't have a lot of their menu on weekends which is unique, it's typically reversed. They should have a weekend only menu tho as it's frustrating to order things it says they have and they don't. A LOT of fried or super heavy options. I came bc it said fresh but I guess deep fried fresh food is still "fresh." Plates and majority of glasses are plastic. No matter how fresh or not the food is, you still need to eat microplastics. Sugar on the table is all plastic wrapped fake sugar it was impossible to find just REAL raw sugar. Feels like they hopped on a fresh health trend but have a hard time walking that walk.

At the Monkey Junction location, they used bottled salsa on the avocado toast. That was a surprise,…read moreafter having it for the first time, in Leland. I prefer the fresh! Our server let me know they make it "in house". I have to say, the chair are so uncomfortable. I only want to sit in a booth.

7/4/26: Eggs Up Grill was a great brunch stop during our time in Leland. We visited on the morning…read moreof July 4th, and the restaurant was packed. There was about a 15-minute wait, which wasn't bad considering how busy weekend mornings seem to be here. We ordered the Hash Benedict, Classic Benny, Croissant Style Donuts, and the Chimi Steak Scrambler with cheesy scrambled eggs, grilled marinated skirt steak, avocado, tomatoes, toast, and home fries. Every dish was well prepared and exactly what we were hoping for. The benedicts had perfectly cooked poached eggs with rich hollandaise sauce, the Chimi Steak Scrambler was hearty and flavorful, and the croissant-style donuts were a fun, sweet treat to share at the table. Because the restaurant was so busy, the food didn't come out immediately, but the wait was completely reasonable and never felt excessive. The staff did a great job keeping everyone moving, and our server was exceptional. She was friendly, attentive, and checked in on us throughout the meal despite having a full section. Overall, I'd give Eggs Up Grill 4/5 stars. The combination of great food, outstanding service, and a welcoming atmosphere made for an excellent brunch. I'd definitely come back the next time I'm in Leland and would recommend it to anyone looking for a dependable breakfast or brunch spot.
