    Menu - Daily Lunch Plates
    Kathy L.

    We stopped by Wednesday after hubs eye appointment. There were 2 other customers in the restaurant. We ordered ham and cheese omelettes, hash browns and biscuits to go. Our wait wasn't long and off we were back home to eat brunch before the next appointment. When I opened the to go containers, the omelettes were flat and I wondered about the ham. We started to eat and my husband said he didn't get any ham. I didn't either. I specifically asked the man to put ham in the omelettes. The menu has ham and cheese omelettes on it. This was a huge disappointment. The eggs were heavy, not soft and fluffy like other restaurants prepare. We know not to order omelettes from here again. We were charged an additional $5 or $6 for ham we never received because our order was not made correctly. I saw the handwritten ticket and it clearly had "ham and cheese " omelettes. I do not remember if ham was another $2.50 or $3 extra. We didn't get what we paid for. The best part of the meal was the biscuits. Homemade biscuits with whipped butter. My husband enjoyed the biscuits. The hash browns were ok. We were given whipped butter, strawberry jam, ketchup and flatware with our order. This visit didn't hit on all cylinders. Perhaps I caught them on an off day.

    French toast with bananas
    Bailey B.

    Came by for lunch / breakfast for lunch with my mom this week for our weekly outing together. This small local spot is near the old Grissom High School / new south Huntsville library. Parking is ample, although super-close parking is a little bit harder to come by. Seating is very limited and it would probably be very hard to sit together if you came in a group larger than 4. None of that was a problem for us, though! We were comfy in our booth. Business was moderate at about 11:30 on a Friday. They have pretty much every American breakfast item you could ever want: BYO omelet or burrito, pancakes, French toast, all manner of eggs, biscuits and toast, grits, multiple potato options. Also some standard lunch options (hamburgers, club sandwiches) and meat+3 plate lunches to include catfish and other southern classics. On the day we visited, they had pork tamales and huevos rancheros on special. Yum! Breakfast and lunch only here, fyi. The place was clean and had a very high health department rating. I don't know that I'd say the service was effusively friendly, but they were certainly polite and running a very tight and efficient ship. Our food came out quickly, correctly, and piping hot. I thought the price was reasonable at ~$30 for two large entrees and two drinks. My mom had two eggs over easy with a biscuit, hash browns, and bacon. The bacon amount was generous and she said her eggs were cooked perfectly. The biscuit was a little dry - presumably leftover from the breakfast rush - but plenty good with some butter. We both enjoyed sweet tea to drink. I ordered the "sweet beginnings:" two eggs (I asked for scrambled), French toast (added bananas), and hash browns. It was all yummy! The French toast was a little thinner cut than I expected but it was cooked just right and the bananas were a wise addition for a small extra cost. I typically prefer my scrambled eggs cooked a little runnier than the ones I got but I certainly understand why they cook them very thoroughly and I probably could have asked for them runnier. Mom and I both loved our hash browns. So often places get the top crispy but the bottom undercooked, but these were perfect. Crunchy on top and soft and fluffy beneath! Overall, complaints are very minor and we had an enjoyable time together. We will certainly be back in the future for more French toast and hash browns!

    Classic benny and home fries
    Tess O.

    The classic Benny was OK. For my side I ordered home fries. Obviously, they consider potato chips to be home fries! I explain to the waiter that these are not home fries these are potato chips. I was informed that's how they make home fries. I will not be back.

    Great hidden gem. Support local & this local spot has a great variety of good & great service. It's a small venue with only 10 tables, but you can tell that there are a lot of regulars or locals eating there because the staff were visiting with several patrons (but still attentive to other customers). Check them out!!

    bacon, eggs, and biscuits on a green plate
    Johnny B.

    Just a wonderful, quaint little eatery. Around 15 tables and booths, so if you have a crowd, you'll have to spread out. I was seated as soon as I walked in and treated like family. The menu is a basic menu of down home eats. I ordered the "Southern Egg Breakfast with Bacon and biscuit". The food was made to order and brought out pretty quickly. My regular readers know I am a picky SOB when it comes to eggs over easy, and they absolutely nailed them. There was enough food to satisfy most diners. Everything was fantastic! The staff treat everyone like they were a either family or a reviewer (I NEVER tell folks they are being reviewed). I made a followup visit and was certainly not disappointed. This has to be one of the best breakfasts in Huntsville. Try it, you shan't be sorry!

    Southern Style Chorizo (front) and Veggie Delight Omelette (back) with fruit and biscuits.
    Gary L.

    We had breakfast here mid-morning on a Sunday, choosing the Southern Style Chorizo and the Veggie Delight omelette, adding a biscuit with the side of fruit that came with the omelette. The food was delicious -- especially the mix of chorizo, hash browns, green peppers, onions, and cheese, which accompanied two scrambled eggs. The biscuits were so buttery tasting, we ordered an extra one to take with us. A sign as we entered asked for patience, as the restaurant is under-staffed: one waiter was taking everyone's orders, aided by two young men who were taking drink orders, serving the drinks and food, and clearing the plates. With the restaurant half full, we found the service prompt, from taking our order to preparing the food. The Southern Egg Cafe also offers interesting and tasty-sounding daily lunch specials, which we're eager to try. This is a keeper.

    Slap your momma good! I have NEVER had a more delicious meal, bar none. Came in for dinner and had…read moreno clue of what experience I was about to have. The place was clean, great vibe and music playing. Put me right at ease. Mateo was the best. I decided on the chicken tenders, sprouts and a side salad. When that tender hit my mouth, I was in heaven! Words can't describe. I kept slapping the tabletop. Hahaha Prices are extremely reasonable, and staff was just wonderful. Heading back tonight as I only have one more night here in town. Can't recommend enough to get your butt in here and enjoy the experience and food.

    I visited a friend in Huntsville, and my friend suggested trying Tupelo Honey Southern Kitchen. We…read moreboth have never been to this place, so we didn't have any huge expectations. I was pleasantly surprised at how lovely the decor of this restaurant. It was very modern and chic with great esthetics. That hands down was a plus for me. Moving on to my experience, it was actually very lovely. The server was really nice and was helpful reviewing the menu with my party. The menu was pretty good. It had typical American brunch/breakfast, but they also had a few twist to some of the item. Very tasty. This was a solid pick for brunch. It's an IG worthy place to be, and the food is solid which is a win to me. If I lived here, I could definitely see myself going back. Honestly, a very pleasant first time at this restaurant.
