Food was delicious all of us enjoyed it. Service was a little shaky with our waitress who would rather talk to the bus boy instead of bringing us some water? She must of been new? Or she lack experience about customer service. We were sitting right there? Had to ask for some ai juice that came with the sandwich? Besides that we really enjoyed eating there and will be back.

Ordered the pot roast dinner and it was extremely dry with only a dabble of brown gravy. Mashed potatoes was about a tablespoons worth. Ordered 2 meatloaf dinners and they have always came with 4 pieces and this time only got 2 each meal. Ordered a baked potato and got mashed potatoes and again only a tablespoon worth on both. Barely any gravy again. Ordered a patty melt and it was burnt and my baked potato had these hard nasty bacon bits and no butter whatever on it. Totally disappointed meal

I ordered the Chilaquiles Verde with Carne Asada - girl, it was hella good. That meal and the service gave me a 5/5 rating and would come back instantly. My parents and brother ordered the Denver omelette and biscuits and gravy. I can't be the judge of how their food was, but they enjoyed themselves nonetheless. There was outdoor seating, and if the weathers right and we come at a later time to take advantage of the outdoor seating/lights, that would've been the best. Also, the server helping us was new and it was her first day serving. Her names Audrey were thinking and was very kind and helpful! Thank you Audrey!

She knows her stuff-knows how to ask the right questions so that you get what you really want. For instance, I was on the fence about having biscuits and gravy but I asked if the gravy was really peppery. She offered to get me a small taste and although it was delicious, I've been a little under the weather so I decided I didn't want anything really heavy. Instead I ordered the 3 egg scramble with their smoked ham and added cheese-it was really good and a huge serving including their potatoes and English muffin. I'll probably be able to make two more meals from this serving! My husband ordered the eggs Benedict and asked which potatoes they would be able to make the most crispy as we both like our potatoes crispy. She suggested the hash browns and even asked if he wanted them crispy on both sides which was a great way to get them the way he wanted. Those kinds of gestures really make the difference when you're dining out. The eggs Benedict and the hash browns were delicious, btw. :) Camryn had a great personality too-very friendly, bright and quick. She did a great job of checking in on all of her tables. When we go back I hope we are lucky enough to have Camryn serve us again but all of the servers seemed very friendly as well. Great job, Izzy's and Camryn!

Well dang. After consistent letdowns from this place it's time to say something and change my…read morerating. This place used to be top 3 for me in terms of breakfast. I've made this my destination breakfast for birthdays, weekends, friends brunches. This was literally the spot. The last 3 times though.... A bummer. The first letdown... these cooks have a tendency to overload their scrambles with uncooked green onions. While it may be good for others, it's not good for me. So i will CONSISTENTLY ask for light green onions. The first let down... a waitress who has been there for a while.. tried to gaslight me into thinking that if I had asked for light green onions, it'd be "a laughable amount". I asked for it anyways and it came packed with green onions. She ate her words, apologized and discounted our breakfast. The second time, the same waitress... the same interaction... but this time it came with zero green onions. She came back and said "it's either all or nothing haha". That was unnecessary. The third time... asking a completely different waitress.... Completely different interaction. 30min later, the omlette comes out packed with green onions and the waitress ignores us for the duration of our stay. So no breakfast for me lol. I understand I'm the picky eater. But dang. I wanna waste the food and not a literal bunch of green onions from the prep bin. The one thing they seem to be consistent on is goofing up my order, so it's time to move on.

The croissant was buttery and flaky, stuffed with eggs and cheese, and everything tasted fresh. The potatoes were well-seasoned with peppers and onions, nice crisp on them, and the sauce on the side added a good kick. Portion size was solid too, definitely filling. Service was awesome and the inside decor was a sight to see too. Overall, great breakfast spot with good flavor, presentation, and quality. I'll definitely be back to try more off the menu.

I asked the hostess if we could sit outside and she sent me across the sidewalk to wait for a different hostess, so she could send me and told me they had their own hostess for outdoor service. The waitress was nice enough but took forever to come by and take our order, and even longer for the food to arrive. Luckily, we weren't in a hurry. The music was good to listen to. The food is terribly priced for what you. $24 for a steak salad, but the steak had no flavor whatsoever. It probably dried out in the fridge while waiting days or weeks to be ordered. Now, since the location was good and you spend a while there anyway, I might try it again; but only for guac & chips with a cold beer. That should be pretty good.

I also love watching the planes take off & land from the side. This place is perfect for families, foodies, and plane lovers in your life! They have plenty of seats & parking on a busy weekend afternoon. Thank you again for the great food & service. Recommendation: Country Fried Steak with potatoes, fresh squeezed orange juice and unlimited coffee.

On weekends you can expect some interesting planes to watch while eating. Personally, my go to is the country fried steak. This is one place that offers both hash browns and roasted potatoes. But their biscuits and gravy isn't my favorite. They don't offer fancy coffee though. No Lattes, cappuccinos, nothing. Just regular or decaf... Great service and there is rarely a wait. Super dog friendly. It's quaint, friendly, and super fast. It is loud though with all the plane noise but you can always sit inside if noise is a thing...

We felt like it was authentic and reasonable price point. For the table, they brought out lots of chips and salsa. It was nice and crispy and flavorful. Not spicy, though. I had ordered the Hacienda Carne Asada. It was a flamed broil skirt steak with a cheese enchilada, rice, beans, and guacamole. The beans came inside a fried tortilla bowl. OH MY! It was so good. I am embarrassed to say, I kept on eating and talking even though I was full. Overall, we had a great time! The food was delicious. The service was amazing. Ample parking.

We enjoyed a really good breakfast at Broken Yolk in Santee on a sunny Sunday morning…read more We arrived around 9:45 and the dining room was already hopping pretty good. We are bar sitters and found the "hook" open, so we took our seats. Luke was our bartender/server for the day. Luke provided excellent service. Super friendly dude. We hope that your knee is fixed Luke! A mimosa for Becky and a Modelo "NFL" for me to start. Bex ordered the Meat Lover's Skillet. Diced ham, bacon and sausage sauteed with bell peppers, onions, and home fries. Topped with scrambled eggs, Jack cheese and green onion. I chose a side of Biscuits and Gravy as I knew I would be sharing in the skillet. After about a 10-minute wait, our food was delivered. It was piping hot fresh out of the kitchen. Bex decided that she wanted a side of sourdough toast, Luke had it to us in less than two minutes, despite his bum knee. The skillet was a very large portion and easily fed us both with plenty to take home. Every component of the skilled was excellent. From the breakfast potatoes on the bottom to the gooey Jack cheese on top. The eggs were scrambled and seasoned well. The biscuits were super dense and really tasty. The gravy was thick and peppery. I did not need two biscuits. I only finished one. Only One biscuit with an additional ladle of gravy would have been perfect. It had been a while since our last visit to Broken Yolk. We were very impressed with the food and the service.
