    Two Eggs Breakfast Deluxe and Southern Fried Arnold
    Centoria G.

    Let's get to it! The service was good and very quick and attentive. I got the deluxe breakfast and southern eggs Benedict. The food was good. The cheese grit could have had more cheese but I balanced it with the cheese eggs. The southern Arnold had good spice. I would eat here again

    If it's just food, then yes yes come!! Servings are HUGE, flavors are wonderful and on point. Prices are fair for the popularity of the place. Our server was kind and fast, but forgot a lot of things unfortunately (just busy). We cleaned up our own table that we were seated at, and our wait list time went from 20 minutes to almost an hour and no real update from the front. Don't worry we tipped well considering our server was still kind, but they looked overwhelmed :/ SIDE NOTE: FRIED BANANA PEPPERS, WOW!!

    Brisket Tacos (bottom) and West Coast Arnold (top)

    This was my first visit to the Spring location, and I was really impressed with how inviting the place is. I stopped by on a Sunday morning, and it was quite busy! I opted to sit outside, which may have contributed to the server being less attentive than I would have liked. Despite that, the food was exceptional. I ordered the brisket tacos and the West Coast Arnold, and both were delicious! My only suggestion would be to ensure the West Coast Arnold includes more avocado, as it was barely noticeable, despite being listed as an ingredient. Overall, the food was fantastic, and I look forward to coming back!

    Chicken & Waffles (Nashville hot chicken but I asked for "regular" chicken and rice waffles), hash brown casserole, Side Bacon (3pc)

    The food is really, really good. The chicken and waffles are to absolutely die for, as well as these lemon ricotta pancakes as they were called? The place is also well decorated, I wouldn't say it's anything to write home about but far from BAD. I've looked at a couple other reviews and apparently the wait times are long? I personally never seem to notice wait times, but it never felt very long! All in all, great place to eat. If I move, I might even make sure to swing by whenever I visit!

    Vegetable scramble
    Sunny B.

    Toasted Yolk was overall a decent brunch spot in terms of food. I may go to a different location next time due to the ambiance and service though. There are just a few vegetarian options on the menu. If you are looking for vegan only (no eggs) I only saw a basic salad available. I got the vegetarian scramble with hashbrowns and biscuit. The portion size was huge!! This made up for the high price tag. The biscuit was very heavy on the butter, but tasty. Hashbrowns are mixed in with cheese so they are not crispy like most other restaurants. The egg scramble was tasty overall. I also tried the apple french toast which was tasty and not too sweet. Service was ok. It was a Sunday so they were busy inside. Our server forgot to give my friend her cappuccino until she brought it up. However, had to give -1 star because the location itself was dirty and there was a fly flying around our food. That's always a sign to me of a dirty kitchen. The restroom had a leaking sink which was covered with towels to absorb water.

    Food was fine bc my expectations of Toasted Yolk are "I want something satisfying, fairly priced, and I don't have to cook...just don't get my order wrong & give good service", and Toasted Yolk usually hits all the marks; this location does anyway. Unfortunately, the service today is the reason for the 2 star rating. And it may sound petty, but I found it extremely rude for my Hubby and I to be brought our check 5 minutes after receiving our food. Mind you I was already irritated bc the grapefruit juice mimosa I ordered was, LATE, lukewarm, AND I had to ask for water...although Mychal brought a glass of water for my Hubby. Usually when I order a drink our server automatically offers a glass of water. Anyway, I literally had 2 bites of my toast when Mychal placed the check on the table WITHOUT saying "No rush...take your time...whenever you're ready"...NOTHING! I looked at my Hubby then looked at Mychal's other table receiving their checks, THEY WERE ALL COMPLETELY FINISHED EATING! Then the kicker AFTER Mychal placed the check on the table, he finally realized my Mimosa was finished and offered me another. TBH my immediate thought was "you brought the check BEFORE we've eaten 1/4 of our meal while your other tables receiving checks are completely finished with their meals, now you wanna offer another drink, but it's time to go, right???...are we being rushed or is there another reason"? As often as we eat at Toasted Yolk I have NEVER felt this way! I decided to pay the check right then. Mychal QUICKLY came to take payment, and when we asked for to-go plates with our plates still FULL OF FOOD, he never asked if anything was wrong or questioned why we were leaving w/o eating. We will be back, but will definitely request NOT to be seated in Mychal's area.

    5 stars all the way for location, vibe, food, and service. A tad shocked though, as to how pricey…read moreit all got in the end - essentially a drink (cocktail and beer)-sandwich - dessert meal for two costing $92, including tax and tip. Ordered Prickly Pear Mezcal margarita, Sierra Nevada Hazy Little Thing light IPA beer, cup of Cream of Cauliflower Soup, Caprese Panini on Focaccia bread with Herbed Fries, West Coaster Panini (Ham, Avocado, Arugula) on Ciabatta bread with Herbed Fries, and a Coffee Fudgy Brownie with Vanilla Ice Cream to go. Service was fantastic with our server (Will) being very knowledgeable and friendly. Drinks and food arrived quickly and were fantastic - the drinks were on point, the food ample in quantity and flavorful in taste. The Fudgy Brownie was divine! Well-done! As I mention above, the final tally was a bit shocking. Otherwise, a great place to hang out; planning to return to avail of the Mon/Tue $25 Wine and Bruschetta Board special.

    [EDIT only to correct to "Postino"]…read more I use the one-stars sparingly, I really do. This has nothing to do with the food, as we never got that far in the course of my miserable experience at this location (not sure if it's a chain or not). Walked into a relatively quiet restaurant somewhat later in the evening after strolling a bit in the summer Houston heat around the Woodlands. A couple of people recommended Postino. The issue arose when I asked for a possible menu modification. Specifically, I was trying to avoid GOAT CHEESE on the meatball dish I had my eyes on (which otherwise looked pretty tempting). The server indicated that they probably couldn't do it but I nevertheless requested this... a couple of minutes later the server returned with the bad news. Apparently, it simply had to be served as-is, according to the menu. This in itself wouldn't have got me to the point of writing this review. However, I, incredulous, was kind of laughing (you have to laugh) and said something like "so I can only order exactly what's on the menu, and the kitchen can't do anything different?" (slight paraphrasing, perhaps). There wasn't much further conversation with the server but within about 30 seconds of this exchange, a "manager" stormed over to the table and borderline-abusively shouted "is there a problem?!". This "mini-manager" as I will refer to her, proceeded to inform me that they could NOT accommodate changes because it would "violate the integrity of the restaurant" ... I of course I also found a bit humorous, and in this state inquired further about what sense it made to be so obnoxiously strict for someone just trying to grab a quick bite about 30 minutes before closing. I'm sensitive to the work involved in running restaurants and serving obnoxious customers, but I was NOT rude, obnoxious, or difficult. Just blown away by this treatment. I was then informed by the mini-manager that she was from LONDON which I assume meant I should accept that her cosmopolitan background and (I assume vast and high-level culinary experience) meant that I should shut my trap and stop being so picky. At this point I was compelled to mention that I, too, grew up overseas and was very surprised at this complete lack of flexibility. Within another 30 seconds or so of this dialogue, the mini-manager tipped the menu over on the table and abruptly shouted, "you know what, I'm refusing you service!" That made it all easy from there as we promptly (while laughing, partly out of shock) exited the facility. Huge disappointment and embarrassing in my view for a restaurant that seems otherwise to have maintained a great reputation - and especially so for the fact that service (and people in general) in Houston tend to be kind and accommodating, not typically RUDE or reactionary. I'm encouraging this restaurant to have a look at the service model. I can't say I'll try Postino again the next time I'm in Houston, but I certainly hope it continues to truly earn its 4.5 star rating, 'cause they sure did NOT when I was there this weekend.

It wasn't bad, it just wasn't my preference. I would not get it again. The service at this location was poor today. Since it was pretty empty and all the staff members were surrounding the bar, I sat at the bar. The team was more engaged with their interactions between one another than checking on my party. Each request I made was unnecessarily delayed. When I requested a container which was within eyesight and reach of the staff, I watched the employee stop and check on 2 other guests and make them drinks BEFORE handing me the container. I asked a 2nd person behind the bar and they did a similar thing before passing a container to me. There were 4 people behind the bar and maybe 5 guests, but each time I needed assistance, I had to ask more than once. Also, I could see my food items sitting in the kitchen while the team was continually chatting in the bar. This is my 3rd time at this location, and it will be my last. Although I like some of the menu items, the service today has depleted my tolerance for this location.
