Lemon Ricotta Poppy Seed Pancakes
Danielle G.

I was really excited about the experience. I instantly feel in love with the description of the lemon ricotta poppyseed pancakes. It had all of the makings of a great meal. Boy did it disappoint, it is essentially a pancake with a thin layer of the mixture at the bottom. Not mixing the mixture into the pancake batter was a huge miss and this dish fell flat. The pancake was dry and crumbled when I tried to cut and transfer to a smaller plate. The biscuits and gravy did not look fresh and the biscuits were not smothered just a dollop. The pancakes were huge but dry, the service was quick, but the food was a miss. Neither meal was completed in its entirety. I probably would not return.

The Toasted Yolk in Lafayette was such a pleasant experience from start to finish. I went with my family which included my 102 year old grandmother and my 92 year old great aunt who are both very opinionated and picky when it comes to their food. Upon entry we were warmly greeted by the host who kindly held my grandmother's walker behind the hostess stand. I truly appreciated that as they were very accommodating to her needs. We sat in either Jolie or Joelle's section. I forgot her exact name but she was incredibly kind and patient in answering all of our questions about the menu. My great aunt had seen the restaurant on the news and was very excited to try the staple item which was the Toasted Yolk, basically eggs in a basket. She ordered that and I ordered two pancakes for the table. Those pancakes could have easily fed the entire restaurant. I kept seeing them come out to other tables and noticed many people could not finish theirs. I see why. With a table of four we still took a lot home. We added blueberries to ours which took them to another level. For my entree I shared with my grandmother. We ordered the Eiffel Tower Omelette and built our own combination along with grits and a biscuit. Both were very delicious but the pancakes stole the show. The mimosa offerings were plentiful with different flavors to choose from. I had the strawberry one and it was delicious. I would definitely return. The best part was after I dropped my great aunt off my cousin called to tell me she talked for thirty minutes straight about how good the food was. That is a five star review in itself.

This is a nice option for brunch. I went on a Saturday afternoon and was able to sit immediately, but they do close at 3. The food came fast, they serve breakfast and lunch the entire time. The junkyard fries appetizer was good, I especially liked the chili. Another honorable mention to the hashbrown casserole. I would like to go back to try some of their cocktails! They also have a nice loyalty program available.

Southern Fried Arnold
Daphne G.

This was our first time at the Toasted Yolk and I thought it was pretty good. I got the southern fried Arnold with a poached egg. It was pretty tasty and interesting. I love eggs Benedict so I was a little skeptical to taste this take on it, but I was pleasantly surprised. Just make sure you're hungry when you go because the portions are large. The service was very prompt and friendly. We will given blueberry donuts to celebrate our first visit and they were very yummy. I can't wait to go back and try more things.

The food was really good. The brisket is Smokey and makes for a great omelet. The cheese grits were excellent and not too grainy. Instead of the country gravy on the eggs Benedict, we choose to get the Cholula Ranch instead.... Oooo it was so tasty. I could drink that ranch! The coffee was strong like we like it. The greeters at the front door weren't too welcoming but other than that our waitress was nice and attentive and refilled our coffee regularly. The restrooms are a little tight but they were clean and everything was stocked. We arrived at 9:42AM and were seated quickly. All in all it was a good experience and we will be back.

I had no idea there was a new brunch restaurant that opened. Firstly this is a great location with plenty of parking, and open seating arrangements, tables, booths, and high tops. We arrived and were seated quickly, it was busy however you could tell it's newer and they're working out the timing. I liked the upbeat vibe. For the meal the soup and sandwich was ok, tuna needed more flavor, but the 4 egg omelette was very good, however the hands down star was the Pancakes!!! Which was the size of the plate, and they were actually fluffy and a great vanilla flavor that stood out, now I know why a serving is only two, I could only eat one. Try the two eggs with cake which is the pancake, and I'm sure this will be very filling, with good value.

The breakfast burrito is the star and it's not close. They put broccoli and squash in it. Sounds insane, shouldn't work, but it's one of the best breakfast burritos I've had in my entire life. Get the extra crispy bacon in it. Everything was texturally perfect and they've got this fermented hot sauce that goes with it. Not spicy, just adds a whole extra layer of flavor. A 10 out of 10. The coffee was the letdown. We did a few rounds (cortado, latte, cappuccino) and they came out inconsistent, milk to coffee ratio all over the place. Felt like whoever was making them didn't really know the difference between the drinks. If I'm dinging them on anything, it's that. My wife got one of those big healthy veggie bowls and it was pretty mediocre. Just lacked flavor. If super healthy is what you're after you'll be happy, but hers was a 3 and my burrito was a 10, so I ended up handing her half of mine. That's the deal here, it depends what you order. The veggie and vegan stuff is never going to hit like the real thing, but there's a ton of good options if you care about that. We also grabbed a bunch of their canned goods on the way out. Pesto, that hot sauce, radish kimchi, sweet potato kimchi. They make it all in house and you can tell there's a real passion for creating and doing new things. Super happy we found this one. Highly recommend, especially that burrito.

Let's talk about the food because there are definitely some good things happening in that kitchen! We've had the French toast, shrimp and grits, beignets, French toast sticks, fried green tomatoes, and breakfast sandwich, just to name a few. And trust me, we've worked our way through the majority of the menu! I love going to a restaurant where there's more than one thing on the menu that catches my attention. Whether we're in the mood for something sweet like French toast and beignets or something savory like shrimp and grits or a good breakfast sandwich, there's always something to satisfy our cravings. One thing about us, we enjoy a GOOD brunch, and Parish Biscuit has definitely earned a spot on our list of places we love to visit. It's nice having a go-to spot where we can switch things up instead of ordering the same meal every time. If you're a breakfast or brunch lover and haven't checked out Parish Biscuit yet, I definitely recommend giving it a try! Come hungry, explore the menu, and don't be afraid to order a little extra for the table. That's half the fun of brunch anyway! We'll definitely be back because apparently we're on a mission to try the entire menu!

I did a side of eggs and bacon. The scrambled egg was probably the best I've ever had. The bacon was thick-cut and chewy, so that's a major plus for me. I did a mimosa and they were great. We had the same bartender as last time fixing our drinks and she remembered us so that's awesome. Fiancé did avocado toast and she said it was good but not her favorite. She did the tipsy jeaux drink and it was a little too much with the chocolate syrup. Upbeat music so you were vibrant while they were busy.

The interior of this location was very nice and welcoming. There was a good mix of seating options that seemed accommodating for both larger groups and smaller parties. The music selection was also enjoyable and added positively to the overall atmosphere. I ordered the shrimp and andouille omelette. I will say the presentation was very stark and uninteresting. Just based on how it looked, I would not have expected much from the dish. While I cannot quite pinpoint how it could be improved visually, it simply came across as boring on the plate. That said, the omelette itself was better than expected once I started eating. The bites that included both shrimp and andouille sausage were the strongest and most flavorful parts of the dish. Overall, if I were judging strictly on appearance, my expectations would have been low. Taste wise, I would give the meal about a 6 out of 10. I did notice several other dishes coming out to nearby tables that looked more appealing, so while this order did not fully impress me, I would not rule out returning. Next time, I would likely try something different from the menu.

There's something about finding your go-to spot and knowing exactly what you're craving before you even walk through the door!

The pork chop was cooked perfectly. It was juicy, incredibly tender, and honestly tender enough to cut with a fork. It had a great char from the grill that added so much flavor, and the pickled peppers on top cut through the richness of the pork perfectly. The dirty rice underneath reminded me of my mom's rice dressing and soaked up all the juices from the chop. It was one of the best pork chop dishes I've had. My wife ordered the smoke fried chicken, and it was also excellent. The crust was crispy while the chicken stayed juicy and flavorful. The sweet potato biscuits were light and delicious, and the pepper honey tied everything together nicely. For my taste, it leaned just a little on the sweet side, but it was still a very enjoyable dish. My daughter ordered the Social Cheeseburger with just meat and cheese. She loved it, and I was impressed too. Even with such a simple order, the burger was juicy, well seasoned, and served on a fantastic bun. She and my wife both could not stop talking about the hand cut fries. They were crispy, perfectly seasoned, and some of the best fries we've had in a while. From the food to the service, everything exceeded our expectations. We left very impressed and will definitely make a point to stop here whenever we are in the Lafayette area.

There's no host stand or clear seating system, so the entrance felt chaotic. We weren't sure what to do until a nice local told us to just grab a table.

We were told breakfast orders would be taken at the table and lunch needs to be ordered separately at the cafeteria style counter. My husband went to the counter to order lunch while I stayed behind, waiting for the server to return with drinks and take our breakfast order, she never did. The smothered pork dish looked worse than school cafeteria, and unfortunately tasted like it too. It was overly salty and the pork had a weird taste to it. Since we had already paid for the lunch item upfront and still hadn't been able to place breakfast order, we decided to cut our losses and went to another restaurant. Overall, wasted 35 mins and left frustrated and disappointed, definitely won't come back!
