If I had to judge breakfast based on one question--would I come back?--The Toasted Yolk easily earns a yes from me. I really love this place. The service can be a bit unpredictable, and the coffee isn't very flavorful, but that doesn't stop me from loving it, mainly because of the Breakfast Brisket Scramble. It's full of flavor, really filling, and the kind of meal you end up craving days later. No restaurant is perfect, but The Toasted Yolk nails the important stuff: the food. If you're grabbing breakfast or brunch, do yourself a favor and order the Breakfast Brisket Scramble. It totally makes up for the little flaws elsewhere. read more

(No pics sorry). Brunch 10am on a weekday. They must have had a septic issue because for first 15m there was a slight odor we thought was eggs cooking but decided not. Stayed anyway because server and hostess were good and atmosphere was cute. I ordered a Power Bowl called the Garden Breakfast Bowl (I knew my mom ordering traditional breakfast for me to sneak bites from). I was hoping for healthy crunch and boost to my day. The vinaigrette was too much for the fresh veggies, bulgar wheat and quinoa. I'm not sure what you would put on that power bowl but that dressing was not it. It had too much of it as well. The veggies and avocado were fresh and ratio of other fillers was good. I wouldn't get it again though. Like I said I took some bites of my mom's traditional breakfast. Eggs cooked correctly, bacon was too, Belgian waffle was very good- fluffy and sweet. Pancake was basic. Overall, the whole experience was basic honestly. I wouldn't turn down if invited there but not going back on my own. read more

The food is always amazing! It's one of my favorite places to go for brunch. Service is always good and pretty quick. If you're going on the weekend I would make a reservation, because they do get super busy on the weekends. All the Arnold's are amazing! read more

The Toasted Yolk Cafe - The Classic Arnold - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Mobile, Alabama

I went with my husband on the rainiest of days. That didn't stop us or the flavor!! The service was great and the location is open and airy. The price is pretty decent for what you're getting. Right in between WH and the slipper. I know I shouldn't eat anything creamy or milky but I had the shrimp and grits! The tomato/bacon topping with the shrimp had THE PERFECT bit of lemon zest/squeeze to it. I could use another cup of grits. But I had a nap after breakfast and woke up after they closed. My husband had the burger and said it was so juicy!! I know he will be back for sure for the burger and I'll be back for the shrimp and grits! Lactose intolerance be damned!! read more

We were visiting Mobile for Mardi Gras, and our son suggested Toasted Yolk Cafe. Luckily, we were able to get a table because the day we went it was very busy!! There is inside and outside seating. Let me go ahead and say that parking is crazy, so be forewarned. They have all sorts of great things to eat on the menu such as churro style and blueberry donuts , omelets, French Toast, Belgian waffles , pancakes. Shrimp and grits and a lot more. I decided to be boring and get the two egg breakfast which is two eggs, a breakfast meat and a biscuit. The biscuit, by the way, was huge and absolutely delicious! read more

Always a great spot! We love the little blueberry donuts. Best kept secret. Make sure to get on the list early on Sundays.

We loved everything about this place - the food, service, and atmosphere. The staff and waitress Princess made our experience wonderful, and the food was absolutely delicious. Now, we just need to figure out how to get a restaurant like this in Pensacola! read more

At my recommendation my wife, my daughter and I went for breakfast here. I had high hopes for this restaurant, but now find that I wouldn't recommend it to anyone else. This would easily be a five star review; after all, the restaurant is clean, the employees were friendly and inviting, and the service was excellent. But for the food, which was severely lacking in quality, I would happily recommend. I had the dish they called Two Eggs and a Cake, which was scrambles eggs, grits, a sausage patty and one pancake. The eggs were dry to the point of being nearly crumbs on the plate. They were so desiccated that it was impossible to eat them with a fork. I actually had to use the spoon for my grits to consume the eggs. They were still edible, but it is frustrating when the food that normally one would place in ones mouth using a fork, crumbles back unto the plate, or even worse, onto oneself or the floor before making it to ones mouth. The pancaked was equally as frustrating. It arrives looking very tasty and inviting, not looking at all over cooked, but at the same time, not quite right. It had little flavor and, like the eggs, so dry that I had to use the spoon to consume it. I judge, a restaurant's ability to prepare an adequate breakfast upon its ability to serve up a delicious pancake. I've learned that it's more difficult than one might suppose; thus, a good and truly delicious pancake is, when one finds a kitchen that is able to produce one after another, after another all morning long, is a delightful thing to discover. If the cook staff can get a pancake right, then it stands to reason that they can get the other things right as well. Unfortunately, the kitchen at this establishment hasn't yet developed that skill. Moving on to my wife's and daughter's meals, they each ordered an omelette. My wife ordered the Big Ben, and my daughter ordered the Double Decker. I can report that they both reported their omelette as cooked so dry that they were nearly tasteless. My wife noted after leaving, while reviewing our bill, that she felt robbed. We went in with high hopes, and initially, due to the friendliness of the staff, felt vindicated in our choice of restaurant, but the cook staff let us down. read more

I will start with the service. My server was awesome. She was able to help me narrow my menu choices down and she was very attentive. The ambiance is very casual and comfortable. Everybody fits in here. Sweats work here as well as your Sunday best. The food was fine. You definitely get more than enough to fill you up. I might revisit them again after Sunday service. read more

Lots of natural light makes this place feels bright and alive. Tons of breakfast options especially if you like eggs. I wantes something different so i tried the banana foster french toast. The bourbon sauce was savory but not too sweet. The bar is open all the time so it's never too early to get toasted (that's their slogan). read more

The food was great! The wait staff was excellent! All around a very good experience. Will definitely go back.

Came around 7:20 on a Sunday. My friend and I were the only customers there. The music was extremely loud, so I politely asked one of the staff if they could turn it down a bit so we could hear each other. She said she couldn't but would ask a manager or someone above her. When our male waiter came to take my friend's coffee order, I kindly asked again if the music could be lowered. His response shocked us -- he said, "No, we keep it like that so we don't have to hear y'all's conversations!" That level of rudeness was unbelievable. My friend and I just looked at each other, speechless, and decided it was best to leave. We asked for the check (for just one coffee), and he told us to leave. Completely unprofessional and disrespectful experience. Definitely won't be coming back. read more

Checked reviews so we knew to get on the waitlist. Smart choice as we were seated immediately. We opted for patio seating which was hot but better than the indoor area which was pretty full and loud. Our server was fine. We were given adult cups for our kids but later she brought their water in the kids cups as requested. She asked if we wanted to order the kids food first which I appreciated. Unfortunately, we had to pay for meat that my vegetarian children don't eat in addition to paying extra for them to have eggs. The kids meal is $7.99 and included one piece of French toast. The pancake meal did include two pretty big pancakes. They never got the fruit that comes with the meal. We mentioned it at checkout and she did bring us a to go. There's also only one crayon per child. We started with the churro donuts. They are okay but there's a spice in it that just sits on the back of your palate...and not in a good way. The caramel sauce was very oily so you couldn't taste much of it. The scramble was pretty straight forward, nothing to write home about. The hashbrown casserole was good. Grits are bland. Asked for the queso on the side but it never came. Asked for salt and pepper and the server realized we didn't have our condiment caddy. Overall, a bit overrated. Oh, restrooms were clean. Manager did stop by to ask how everything was-which I always appreciate-but we (the adults) hadn't gotten our food yet. Pay at table options not available, waited over eight minutes to get my debit card back. Update: When we got in the car to travel home, my child asked for the leftover pancakes. I tore a piece of and realized the inside was raw. See photo. Needless to say, we trashed it. read more

I was supposed to be eating at another restaurant but the people I was going with backed out last minute. I then decided to go here because I wanted to try it out. I hadn't really heard what everyone is trying here but I looked at the menu and felt like waffles. I got the chicken and waffles. There was a twist with these waffles. They had cheese and jalapeños. I also ordered cheese grits. I forgot to mention that this place was packed. I was eating by myself so I chose the bar area. The wait staff was very busy but very courteous. Anyway my food came back pretty quickly. Now I was excited when my food came but my cheese grits didn't look like grits. It looked more like hash brown casserole with cheese. Now I admit I could've asked one of the women behind the bar to take the hash brown back but I was hungry. I ate the hash brown casserole like I ordered it. It was really good, might I add. Now the waffles looked exactly like what I ordered. I didn't know that what to expect when I bit into some jalapeño and cheese infused waffles but I was pleasantly impressed. The sweetness of the waffles along with savory flavors of the jalapeños and cheese is a great combination. And to top it off with syrup was a plus. The chicken in this equation were 2 pretty big tenders. They were cooked well and very tender as the name suggests. I really enjoyed my meal. read more

For a party of 7 we were sat quickly after arriving. The drinks were enjoyable, the food was delicious, and the decor was cute! I ordered the Brisket Scramble with the hashbrown casserole, and it was so much food I had to get a to-go box for my leftovers. It was a hearty portion of scramble, a biscuit, a nice side of the casserole and a small ramekin of fruit. The mimosas with the gals filled me up, and we enjoyed laughing all morning over our brunch. Our server was great-- very polite and attentive. I hate I missed her name. My only docking of a star is that two of us had to wait longer than everyone else for our food, which was a little disappointing. However, I look forward to returning and trying other options from their menu. Lots of fantastic choices to choose from! read more

So glad we have brunch spot open in this location- they really did a great job with the decor. More lunch items on the menu and extra drink specials than I was expecting- the ranch with our bowl Of fries was delicious. The egg plate with a cake - picked the French toast and it was so light and fluffy- the staff heard it was my birthday and they would stop by and tell me happy birthday/ so sweet. I love that the front porch is pet friendly with a water bowl- will be back - SOON read more

We've been here an hour. Have managed to get 2 drinks and a plate of cold food. Server is sweet, but seems overwhelmed. When gravy and grits come out with visible skin on them...you KNoW it's cold. Cute spot with a lively crowd. Maybe it's just an off day? Update: So after waiting for cold food to be replaced for over 20 more minutes...asked for the manager. He is the one who brought me the cold food to start with. He informed me that our server had not "resubmitted" the order for the cold, congealed food. Although we weren't charged for the food, Ian appalled at the lack of concern that the manager had for customer service/satisfaction. For anyone in the restaurant business to serve cold, congealed grits and gravy...y'all should be ashamed. read more

The food, the service and the ambiance were all on point. What a cute new brunch place in Mobile. The menu has a lot to choose from to please a crowd. We got two sandwiches- the cordon bleu and the egg/bacon/tomato. Both very good. Our server gave us 2 churro donuts with caramel sauce because it was our first time in there and they were delicious. We will be back. read more

Just left this restaurant. The waitress could not understand our order for just the biscuits and gravy & one egg for my friend. She brought full two biscuits, sliced with gravy and two eggs on top. We said that wasn't what we ordered. Just wanted one egg on the side. She kept saying the eggs are free. "but the eggs are free!" Whatever. We asked for two Carryout boxes to take the extra food. When she brought the bill she just kept standing there waiting then said "I'll take this." Like we weren't supposed to sit there and finish our food and coffee. So I gave her my card. She came back and presented two printouts. Customer copy said "paid in full." I asked if she had already charged my card she answered yes. I asked why I still had a merchant copy to put tip and add if up if she'd already charged me. She said it's ok I'll just add the tip in on the charge. After she had already run my card?!? How does that work? Do I get an additional copy to check what she charged? "No!" It was very confusing and stupid me, when she said they have to do it that way I just picked up my receipt and left. Should have made her rerun it. And, breakfast for two was $44!!! Will NOT be going back. read more

Food was incredible. But newbie beware - several up charges were tacked on. "Extras" were offered on hashbrowns and presented as if it were the dressings for a baked potato. In reality, there was an extra charge for each item. This may be spelled out in the menu - but for a newbie, this was very "sneaky" and was the only negative point of our experience. Food was great. read more

Came in with a party of 9, food was decent, place was clean besides a broken toilet stall that wouldn't flush. When we received the check a 20% gratuity was included. Generally, not an issue even though i've only ever seen as high as 18%. The problem is, the only time we saw the waitress was first to take our order and second when we got the check. Besides that she never came around to ask us for refills or anything, which the whole table did need more of. We were there for about 45 minutes and never got more water. The waitress received a $35 tip but did the bare minimum which did not sit well with me. read more

Went here early for breakfast on Sunday and thoroughly enjoyed the food and ambience. Our server, Jason, was in top of everything.

The food was good. The service was Okay. We dined in for breakfast. First time in, after hearing about the place, I kinda expected more however, It was not bad at all, overall I enjoyed the food but I believe if I had tried something else.

I'm glad many others feel the food is awesome. I had the BLT and Chicken Tortilla soup and an of the Churro donuts w/caramel sauce. The soup was not of my liking. It was more like chili than soup. I would not be surprised if they added chicken to the chili and call it tortilla soup. My bacon on the BLT was burnt and the tomato was definitely fresh. My husband had a Ruben and did not like. The music was way too loud. I don't mind some soft music in the background but not so loud you can't carry on a conversation. Was not my favorite. read more

The Hashbrown Casserole is Cheesy and Soft. Easy to Eat and Delicious. The Southern Chicken Arnold is a great portion with nice soft biscuits. The egg was cooked to perfection and the gravy had a kick at the end that I was looking for at first bite. This reviewer adjusted the Toasted Yolk to her specifications before taking a photo, however, the Sourdough is nice and toasty and a perfect basket for the egg. The egg was over medium and cooked perfectly to order. The portion sizes were perfect. The Rise and Shine punch was a delicious addition to our meal with a higher concentration of pineapple juice that can be dangerously hiding the gin. This reviewer enjoyed the light and refreshing nature of the drink. The waitlist is essential to getting to dine at this establishment! I would recommend checking the waitlist before and during your car ride here to secure a lower wait time. I enjoyed the experience we had with our booth seating. I would probably request it next time as well as our server, Dustin. read more
