    Love the retro decor! This place is in Eastgate so there is plenty of parking. I was there early so I had quick efficient service and an absolutely delicious strawberry shortcake stack of pancakes. The strawberries & cream were fresh and a huge portion (1 pancake is an option); so I had leftovers for breakfast the next day that heated nicely. Coffee & bacon were perfect. There is a full bar to complete the retro look and some creative drinks on the menu to try for brunch one day in the future. My server "Indiana B" was charming, helpful, & I loved her pearls! Us Southern ladies wear our pearls.

    Ok it may have been relatively busy but we got out on a waitlist and proceeded to see multiple parties get seated before us - I went up after waiting the allotted time and based on the girls reaction we should have been seated faster. So she walked us to a table... the waitress got our drinks pretty quickly but on the other hand the food we were waiting for a while to get. Again the people who sat AFTER us received their food before ours. Just was annoying honestly. As for ambience after looking around you can tell it's like a chain considered every foot of space has the logo all over it. Overall the food was good but it was really expensive for the quantity and what we got. Two pancakes (no sides) at $14 is nuts and I'm not talking about the pecans sprinkled on top. Probably won't be back because there are so many other better and more affordable spots. Cinnamon pancake was good just really sweet. Recommend the Sandwich I Am - pretzel bun was tasty.

    I found a new go to place to dine. My food was great actually it was delicious. I had 3 egg jalapeño omelet. My wife had a pancake flight. The food was great. We came on a late Sunday morning. We sat at the bar because it would have been a 20 minute wait for a table. I was starving. Our server was great and I had special instructions on how I wanted my food. Everything came out perfect. I would recommend this restaurant highly!!!!!!!!!! We will be back

    This is an updated review since last time I went was during their opening. Service was very slow. It took a long time to get someone to take our order for food. It seemed like there was not enough floor staff. As for the food, it was so good. The kitchen knows what they are doing. I had the crab cake Bennie and it was delicious and good portion size. I would recommend going during non peak hours to combat the wait issues because the food is delicious.

    Barbacoa Chile Verde Benny* & Smashed Avocado Benny*
    Jake V.

    My girl & I had been looking for a good breakfast spot in Chapel Hill where we could get quality Benedicts, and we finally found 1: Snooze, one of the newer locations at Eastgate, a shopping area that gets a lot of foot traffic even on weekday brunch times. Thankfully, we didn't have to wait to be seated at Snooze on a busy Wednesday brunch time. We were taken to a small table that's pretty close to an occupied table with 2 people in a cramped area; Despite Snooze's large and open space with a nice outdoor seating and a bar (probably the largest restaurant in Eastgate), it seems that there is a spacing issue, and it looks like there was only 1 waitress assigned to our section. She said her name is Baj, and I'll talk about her customer service later, but first: the food! I ordered the Barbacoa Chile Verde Benny & my girl ordered the Smashed Avocado Benny & we got a blueberry pancake for us to share. Orders arrived in about 12 min., which is relatively fast considering Snooze's busy brunch time. It was my first time trying a Benny with Barbacoa (shredded beef - Mexican barbecue style), and the meat tasted as what I expected from a Barbacoa dish, and there was a fine amount in my Benny. Instead of English muffin, this one has a layer of tortilla in the bottom. The green chile sauce, melted cheese. green chile hollandaise, pico de gallo & cotija cheese all create a Mexican twist to a typical Benedict, but after trying this, I think I still prefer a typical Benny with ham, English muffin, etc,. There was issue in my order: 1 of the 2 eggs it came with was cooked too long, so it's more like a hard-boiled egg than a poached one, so I told Baj about it, and a manager came to check what the problem was. She asked what wanted, replacing the one wrongly-cooked egg is just fine, and she said they could do that, so I received the 1 replacement egg. I ended up eating that 1 egg by itself because I already devoured the rest of the Benny while waiting. Other than that mistake, the Bennys were generally satisfying with a healthy amount of well-baked hashbrowns on the side. My girl enjoyed her Smashed Avocado Benny, which looked quite healthy, with large slices of tomatoes, just the right amount of avocado & everything else. The $6+ blueberry pancake we shared was fine but they did not serve enough syrup, and the server did not even bother to ask if we need anything else, so we weren't able to ask for more. Snooze's customer service clearly needs improvement. While server Baj seemed friendly at first, she didn't accommodate our needs well - we had to call her to get water refills and ketchup for our hashbrowns, and not even once did she ask if we needed anything else like that pancake syrup! As for our bill, she just silently placed it on our table, making us wonder what she just put, while she took orders from the customers beside us. When we were ready to pay, she just put the payment device in front of us, and she seemed to be more cheerful doing that than actually serving us well. I was thankful that she called the manager about the egg issue, and that the manager was able to resolve it well, but overall, the customer service is just disappointing. It's not easy to find a good Benny in Chapel Hill, so I still think it's a blessing to have Snooze, a nice brunch spot with quality breakfast and a vibrant ambiance. If you prefer alcohol with your brunch, Snooze's bartender can serve that to your table. The outdoor seating is also nice but there were no customers there despite the short line of waiting ones while we were seated there. I wouldn't say that we will never return here, but probably not anytime soon. We are willing to go farther to get a better breakfast/brunch experience with professional customer service. Overall Score: 3.1/5

    First time was a while back. This place has an awesome selection of breakfast items along with a decent portion size to leave you full. When we went this place was busy and we only had to wait for a short time. Our service was great we had no complaints. The food itself was delicious. What's nice is if you're in the mood for a drink this place has a good selection to pair up nicely with your meal. We'll be back in the future.

    Bloody Mary and a mimosa
    Danielle C.

    A must visit for anyone visiting or living in Chapel Hill! The restaurant theme is a classic 1960s inspiration with a modern twist. The selection of breakfast/brunch/coffee/adult brunch beverages is wonderful! Helpful tip, if you go on a weekend, go before 10am or make a reservation/hold online because the place is always busy.

    Sandwich I Am* ~no cheese~
    Madison I.

    We had quick service. There was a very fast paced, up beat vibe. We liked they also had drinks, it's great to get a good mimosa. Our food was very good. The bread on the sandwich was absolutely fantastic. He did say his omelet was a little dry but that happens. We ate here about a month ago.

    The Avocado Benedict and hash browns. There was no warning that there wasn't bacon in this.
    Smythe R.

    Bright, loud, open, and airy. Walking in you're greeted with a wall of sound from their 60s-70s sound track and the buzz of other patrons talking over it. They have a wide variety of foods, mostly centered on breakfasty things. I saw the Benedict menu and didn't look further. I chose the Avocado Benedict, which is and English muffin covered by a slice of tomato (slightly grilled), avocado, a poached egg and hollandaise sauce. Notice anything missing? Yeah, shoulda added bacon, but it was zero-yawn thirty to me (11am on a Tuesday ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ) and I didn't notice. I did notice that there was very little salt used in the food. I'm happy that this will help some folks who have to limit their intake of sodium. I'm also happy there was a salt and pepper grinder on the bar. The coffee was tasty, and the folks behind the bar kept the cup filled while I enjoyed.

    Pineapple upside down pancake was so great! The burrito was fine, not amazing but not bad.

    Went here for my birthday and it was great! My server Sarah was wonderful and as well as they gave me a free pancake of your choice and it was delicious! I also ordered the "OMG French Toast" and it was cooked wonderfully as well! From when I sat down and ordered my food, it took 13 1/2 minutes to get my food out even when it was busy at 9:30am on a Sunday. I would definitely go back!

    We arrived and added our party to waitlist. (Didn't know I could do it on their app.) We waited about 10 minutes at the most. Not bad at all. They offer indoor & outdoor seating. They have corn hole to play outside. The outside area has fans, but right now with temps being 95-102 degrees, we chose inside. They have a bar with a TV. Plenty of seating. We ordered different entrees so we could sample each other's food. The OMG French Toast was so delicious. We also had a pancake flight with a strawberry shortcake pancake, pineapple upside down pancake, and a cinnamon roll pancake. Oh my goodness, the pineapple won my vote!!! Perfectly made crispy edges on all of them. We had a yogurt bowl. It was meh. Not my thing, maybe with honey or vanilla yogurt. Won't order again. And we also ordered the Spuds Deluxe (Hash browns). You can add 2 enhancements to the spuds. The Butterfly Lemonade was very refreshing. I can't wait to try their Rejuvenate beverage when I go back. I definitely give them a 10 out of 10.

    If you're coming in on the weekend I suggest adding your name to the list before leaving home because they are definitely busy. The good thing is that there are lots of businesses in the area you can venture in to. The food was amazing. My friend is vegan and felt like she had lots of great options but they do have some dishes marked as vegan that include eggs which aren't vegan but she was able to ask for it to be made without eggs. The variety and brunch drinks was exciting. We couldn't resist the pancakes so shared the pineapple upside down pancake which was delicious and sweet but not too overwhelming with sweetness. The spuds deluxe was delicious and very filling. All of the portions were perfect for brunch. the restaurant is colorful and bright not too loud and great for the whole family.

    Denver Omelet* we opted for the grits (paid a bit extra for it)
