I heard that this was one of the more popular breakfast spots in Corvallis so I decided to check it out with a friend. My friend who had lived in Corvallis before told me that the items on their menu were overall really good, but make sure I got the English muffin and jam with whatever I got. I ordered the western omelette and it was good but nothing that put it over other western omelettes I have had in the past. The English muffin and jam that I had was pretty good and it was one of my favorite parts of my meal, but it doesn't taste any different than other jams or jellies I have had in the past. The service we received was pretty good. Our waitress checked up on us every so often and made sure my water was never empty, which I appreciate. This is definitely a place to eat some breakfast/brunch in Corvallis. read more

I graduated from OSU four years ago and still think about this place from time to time. I enjoyed eating breakfast here and I remember the jam being spectacular! I don't even like jam that much! It was crowded a lot of the time though, and the wait was very long. Be prepared to wait a while. read more

I am a regular customer and typically love coming here, I am a huge fan of the Hobo Hash and I was excited today for it. Until it took a turn for the worst... My hobo hash comes out and I began eating until I noticed a nice little black hair that did not belong to me nesting gently upon one of my home fries, the little guy startled me so bad that I lost my appetite and left a good amount of my hobo to be consumed by the trash. I am unsure when the next time I will be back because it was a traumatic experience, so for the time being, Broken Yolk let this loyal customer get away. read more

My wife and I now have an absolute favorite place for breakfast in Corvallis. We love the Broken Yoke. The server we had was awesome, the coffee was excellent, the food was great and the portions huge. Highly recommended. I had the Cisco Omelette and a side of bacon. It's gonna be a great day. read more

This was my first time here and it was a good experience, however not great. The lady who sat us was not super friendly and I watched her as she passed by a few times and she looked super annoyed to be there. Maybe it was just a bad day? But I would say still try to put on a better front around customers. Our waitress was very sweet. The food was good and pretty decent portion size. The hot chocolate was great! read more

Kinda pricey, but a quaint little place to get breakfast. They had a bunch of seating in the back that was for some reason closed off. I felt bad for the people waiting in line for a seat. The menu boasted about "grandmas jam" that was a syrup in a squeeze bottle made from corn syrup. It spread out on the toast and made it soggy. I had the hobo hash which was more like a scramble, but good. The kids got a the french toast sticks plate which was a piece of french toast cut into 3 sticks and scrambled eggs for $5.50 a plate... which wasnt worth it. There was a play area that wasnt open, nor did anybody working there offer it for our rowdy toddlers. I wouldn't really consider this place family friendly and if we lived in town this isnt a place I'd bring my kids due to the price of their dish alone. Would be a nice date spot or anybody without children. read more

A place open at 6a.m. for breakfast! I have been eating there for a couple time since it opened no long ago... It was always packed during lunch time on the weekends whenever I go. Lunch menu doesn't serve during weekends though. I have had their "The Motherload" with Biscuits&gravy with 2 sausage links, 2 bacon strips, 2 eggs, hash browns and toast. I liked it! Especially, their jam in ketchup bottle, I can add as many as I want!! =) This is one of the restaurants I have been that is "kid friendly".. I am seriously.. they have a little play place at the corner... and they have coloring pencil and paper right next to their front door! 3 stars on the food, 1 more star for the kids! read more

Slow service took forever to be seated in a half full building the staff was rood inpatient staff, ok food. I won't go back

Good food. Service was a bit slow the two times I went on both a Saturday and a Sunday morning but it's okay. I love their strawberry jam! I'd love more vegan SOY FREE options as I'm soy intolerant lactose intolerant and vegetarian. The breakfast potatoes are amazing. read more

Went or breakfast the other day! Good food at a good price! Generous servings. Excellent service!

An absolute must! Fantastic specialty drink and the most wonderful breakfast and brunch options. So flavorful and plentiful serving. The bottom of by biscuit was a little over cooked but everything else was amazing. Brunch time expect a wait but so worth it. Make sure to order the homemade cinnamon roll. We were full and got one to go and it was one of the best I've ever had and huge! read more

We decided to stop for breakfast, on our way to the coast. It was early and it was very busy. (to me, that says alot about a business, busy is a good thing). We only had to wait for about 5 minutes, and were seated by some very kind servers. All the wait staff were outstanding, kind, knowledgeable and helpful. (Thank you). The place was busy, and once our order was placed, did not take too long for it to reach our table. We were very happy with the quality of the food. It was hot, and very tasty. I had the sausage and egg breakfast, and it was done very good. We will certainly be back and would invite all our family and friends to stop by and check it out. read more

If you're looking for a breakfast place in Corvallis, Broken Yoke is the place to go. They've got Grandma's strawberry freezer jam on the table. Need I say more? The atmosphere at Broken Yoke is fun and fresh. It's unique and driven with personality. Anyone can fit in here and you'll notice while you're here that anyone does fit in. The food is fabulous. I'm an omelette girl so I usually opt for that portion of the menu. The Cisco kid and the Western omelette are pretty good. You also may choose the side you want to go with your meal: hashbrowns, homestyle potatoes, cottage cheese, or fruit. They give you the choices so no matter what, you'll enjoy your dining experience. I love the Broken Yoke and I'm pretty sure most breakfast food people will love it as well. read more

I'm not really a morning person. I really shouldn't order before I've had my coffee. So presented with a great menu and a large omelet selection, I ordered... A basic breakfast with eggs, bacon and hasbrowns. It was fine, but I was disappointed with myself for not trying sometihng else. My boyfriend's Hobo Hash with home fries was much better than my breakfast. Our friend got the Athens skillet with red pepper, artichoke, kalamata olives and capers was also good, but I agreed that the eggs should have been mixed in rather than on the side. The decor is cute and the service is pretty decent. This is the type of place I would have brought my parents to when they came to visit me in school. We didn't even have to wait for a table during our visit. Prices run in the $8-$10 range. I told our friend we went here and only thought it was okay. He said, "why the hell didn't you get the breakfast burrito?" Why indeed. read more

So many good choices! Hard to pick and great service. I'll definitely be back. Chicken fried steak . Kinda weird that the Loco Moco didn't have brown gravy...Grandmas jelly !!! Holy Moly it was good. read more

I love WiseCracks. They have great home cooked food and the grandmas jam is hard to beat. They give you huge servings and drinks in nice jars. They have great mimosas and their loaded hash browns are hard to beat. read more

The food was awesome! Didn't wait any longer than 15 minutes for it after we ordered. Our waitress was super friendly, too. Would definitely recommend. read more

Food is delicious! A little wait during busy times, but worth it. Best breakfast ever! Loved the biscuit and gravy. Eggs done to perfection and the crisp on the hash browns where exactly as I asked. Staff is friendly. I ate at the last sitting of the day so it was relaxed. The early morning crowd may have more pressure to turn tables because it's busy and it's high demand. If I lived in Corvallis I would be a regular. read more

We stopped in on a Saturday morning for some much-needed breakfast and we weren't disappointed. The wait wasn't too bad and the service was alright by me. I had the chicken-fried steak and my gf had the Eggs Benny. Both were delicious! I'm kind of obsessed with CFS and their version was tasty with a nice crispy, flavorful crust and the gravy had a lot of sausage chunks in it. I was happy and stuffed. Oh, and their coffee is surprisingly good. It was funny to see a lot of hung over college kids grubbin' in the joint. read more

We went on a busy Sunday morning. Wait time was only 6 minutes, except they won't seat you if your whole party isn't present. Which seems silly to me. I would've ordered my mimosas while waiting. We had simple breakfasts of eggs, hash browns and bacon, as well as a hobo hash. All were very underwhelming. The hash had almost no flavor to it, which is bad considering there is so much in it. Very bland. My friend asked for extra crispy hashbrowns and they were barely warm, let alone crispy. Service was good, thus the 3 stars. I doubt I'll go back. read more

Still love this restaurant. But I need to remind myself to not get the hash. I just don't like the way they prepare it. Too much thyme and undercooked potatoe cubes read more

Real omelette with fresh ingredients and they are not stingy with the cheese I luv it Will definitely go again & again :) read more

WiseCracks Cafe - The broken yolk omelette - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Corvallis, Oregon

Absolutely terrible service. The food was unseasoned . The eggs were undercooked. The wait staff was standing around talking with each other while folks waited at the door for tables to be cleaned. There was ONE young dark haired gal bussing tables and working her butt off, but the rest of the staff ignored them. Our waiter, who looked like something out of a bad 60s hippie nightmare with high dreads and many piercings and extremely baggy pants, disappeared shortly after delivering our tasteless food. The place was dirty with cob webs all over the windows and our table was sticky and gross. Oh, and the booth padding was so broken down that I sank into a black hole and had to dig my way out to reach the table. Do yourself a favor and cross this place off your list if you want to taste your food and avoid sickness. If you're a college student with a good immune system that hasn't developed a palate yet and likes giggly, diverse service, this might be the place for you. read more

Super yummy food but the portions have shrunk and the prices have gone up. The staff are my favorite part about this place. They are super friendly and helpful. read more

I come up to this area to visit family from out of state often and this place was recommended. Five of us came in at an extremely busy time and only had to wait about 10 minutes for seating which was expected to take about an hour based on the looks of the environment. A short time later we had drinks and placed our order and very quickly had our food which was delicious. I left wisecracks extremely satisfied and prepared for my very long drive home. Thank you for everything and we will all be back. + read more

This place is amazing for brunch! You can eat a ton of food/drinks for cheap. I had the mimosa sampler for $12 and they basically brought me 4 full mimosas. Coming from the south - I'll say that the biscuits & gravy are sensational and very unique. The ambiance is very cool & the staff are quick / friendly. We didn't have to wait long. Excellent experience read more

Not sure aboout the other comments regarding service because our servers have been prompt and friendly. The coffee is wonderful and of course we have wonderful coffee in the PNW so that is notable. We split a breakfast omelet and they brought an extra plate at no extRa charge. And the omelette was very flavorful. We cleaned our plates! read more

Best breakfast food in Corvallis. The staff is very friendly and super extroverted. The food, service, and atmosphere make it worth coming back for breakfast all the time. A must stop breakfast cafe for anyone passing through!!! read more

The food is good and I have eaten here several time. I would recommend it if you are looking for a descent breakfast. They are really busy and you will have to wait. Also not a lot of room to wait. I do have a few issues to address. 1) A glass of orange juice is like $5 and you get a small glass not enough 12oz with no refills. A really big rip off an its not fresh, its store bought. 2) The wait staff is bad. They are slow and a odd bunch. One waitress was wearing yoga pants that were rainbow and weren't inappropriate for work. Her butt seem to always be in your line of sight. I tired to pay my bill with another waitress but she refused and told me to wait for mine. 3) They have a kids area but I have never seen kids playing there. If they got removed it you could get 3 more tables to fit. read more

I come here almost every time I come to Corvallis. They have a great selection on their menu. I appreciate being able to grab a Bloody Mary if the whim hits. Have gone as a party of anywhere from 2-6 people and have always had great service and food. There is a book to sign in on when you arrive which is good to know when it's busy if you haven't been here before. Don't be discouraged by any negative review. There are people that don't know about the sign in and then complain because of their wait, or they come in the back door and don't know why they aren't being seated right away. As for those that complain about the food, I just don't get it. We've been here a dozen times. If something is wrong with your food let them know and they'll fix it right away. We've never had any issues coming here. The negative thing I've seen are patrons with attitude, not the staff. You're not the only people in the place and even when the place does get slammed I'm always impressed with the speed and quality of their food and team. read more

BEST PLACE FOR BREAKFAST. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. The people are always friendly, and you feel like you're right at home. My biggest tip is to call in your order and take it home. There have been so many times I have cruised in at their busiest breakfast mornings when people are starving, shivering, and waiting around for a HIGHLY coveted table, picked up my order and stuffed my face at home!!! Leave a good tip. These people work hard and deserve it. read more

I put off visiting this place because of the mixed reviews (and because I already have a go-to breakfast place in Albany) but I was pleasantly surprised. They seated me immediately on what looked to be a fairly busy Friday morning. I settled in with my laptop and a generously sized cup of coffee, prepared to wait for my food, but the waitress brought my order almost immediately (within five minutes). I ordered the huevos rancheros with black beans and they were delicious -- I cleaned my plate. Gooey cheese, perfectly prepared eggs, and a generous amount of guacamole and sour cream. This item is listed as spicy on the menu, but I did not find it so (every table is stocked with Cholula and chipotle pepper sauce though, so I was able to add additional heat). In all -- low-key diner atmosphere with quick, friendly service. Nothing fancy, but a good place for breakfast if you happen to be in Corvallis. read more

The atmosphere is pretty family friendly, but the food is just okay. Nothing great and the prices were pretty high compared to other breakfast places around. The food was about like what you'd expect at a Denny's or Shari's but a better atmosphere. read more

The atmosphere was warm and welcoming. The food was very good. The customer service was hit and miss. Started off stale and got better throughout our stay. I would recommend to anyone and I plan on returning. It's all about timing to avoid lines and wait times. read more

Not sure why they can't hire more people and open up the back section. We waited probably a half hour for a table, luckily there is the cutest little play area for the kids. Tony went and asked how much longer and the guy had scratched ours names off the list even though we were inside waiting the whole time, that was irritating. They should look into getting the pagers or something if they don't want to come look for someone when they're table is ready. Kayla was our server and did good except for a couple things. I asked for no tomatoes and still got them, there was no extra plates or napkins for our little ones and she never came around with more coffee. The food was very good and good portion sizes. Will come here again, just always expect to wait for a table. read more

This is the third time I have been to Wise Cracks and left disappointed. There is almost always a wait because there are very few breakfast places in Corvallis. The food and coffee is overpriced. A cup of coffee is 3.25 and it was like pulling teeth to get my cup refilled. The staff was not friendly or attentive, and the table was dirty when we sat down. It feels like because of the lack of options in Corvallis for breakfast they don't have to try very hard. read more
