Another Broken Egg Cafe

Okay, I wanted to give this place a fair shake and so I didn’t review it after my first visit. My adult daughter and I went again this past weekend and the food is just meh. The first visit, we both ordered the Eggs Benedict. Nothing in the menu description stated that the hollandaise sauce would be saturated with lemon juice so we were a little taken aback by the strong (overwhelming) lemon taste which completely ruined what would have been a decent eggs benedict. Service was friendly and good but when we asked the waiter about the strong lemon taste he said it was probably a new prep person and they may have used too much. Fair enough, we decided to wait a few weeks and try it again. The most recent visit, I opted for the regular eggs, bacon and English muffin. Eggs were okay, English muffin was okay bacon was limp and cold. I could make better at home and I’ve had better at Denny’s so as cute as this place is and the friendly service we’ve received both visits, I don’t believe I’d be in a hurry to head back there.

The lobster and Brie is excellent and I love the way they cook their potatoes. Do NOT order anything with the hollandaise sauce though unless you want to taste pure lemon. I ordered the eggs Benedict the first time I went here and all I could taste was lemon. Not a good first experience. But I have it a second try and ordered the lobster and Brie instead after sampling the hollandaise sauce again to make sure it was not just a mistake. They drown the hollandaise sauce in lemon and it just doesn’t taste good. I wouldn’t go out of my way to eat here again.

Great food but a bit pricey. I always get the Café St. Charles and it’s always the perfect coffee to alcohol ratio, great for a girl born and raised in NOLA. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve been here. I always get something different and I’ve never disliked my food or had to send anything back.

Love this place! Last time we came, the waiter Kenneth helped us surprise my sister with a graduation gift and was a great sport! We’re back today and requesting him again!

I came with 6 girlfriends for breakfast. It was our first time there. We were greeted by the Hostess, Sugar (her real name) and she was so funny and so sweet, a fantastic first impression. Well, it didn’t stop there. The waiter was awesome, the food was excellent, and even the owner/​manager came to see if we were needing anything. This is not the last they will see of me. Thanks for making us feel welcome.

So we tried this place on a Sunday Morning and it was a bit crowded, so we decided to make it to go and we enjoyed it on the lake. We ordered the Shrimp and Grits and the City Grits and they were both GREAT. The shrimp n grits were cheesy you can tell by the pictures. The City Grits were just a good or even better. They should try placing the shrimp on the city grits instead of regular grits. We don’t know how the table service was, but the take out was quick and just as delicious, even better on the steps of Ponchartrain Lake. This is a great spot for just about anything, there was outdoor seating. We’ll be back.
City Grits:
Creamy southern grits, roasted garlic, onions & smoked Gouda cheese, topped with baked bacon, tomatoes & green onions
Shrimp ‘n Grits:
Shrimp & Andouille sauté with red peppers & onions in a spicy TABASCO ® low reduction, served on creamy cheese grits with garlic French bread

I went to The broken egg to spend Mother’s Day brunch. It was my first visit to the restaurant and I must say The wait was long but it was worth it. The food was outstanding, the service was welcoming, and it is decently priced. The manger even took the time to stop by and make sure all of needs were met. I’ll be back again for sure.

I haven’t been to this location, but I have been to the ones in Mandeville and in the Florida panhandle (Destin) the eggs (anything) was awesome, the décor was cute, the waitresses were good, and everything was perfect.

The first time I went to ‘Another Broken Egg Café’ I had a great time. Food and service was great. The biscuit beignets and city grits are to die for. The second time I went was on a Sunday, which a do not recommend. It’s very busy on a Sunday. I placed my order and got my appetizer about 15 minutes are I placed it. I did not receive my food until 50 minutes after I received my appetizer, food was not hot, and service was slow. I like the environment here and the food. I will return to ‘Another Broken Egg Café,’ but never on a Sunday.

This place never disappoints. This morning I tried they’re Bloody Mary. It’s peppery but not necessarily spicy. First thing you taste celery.

I have been wanting to try this place for a while and I was really hoping to love it. We went for Sunday brunch. Our server was professional, but the service was slow. It took forty minutes to get our food, which was basic (omelets). The potatoes were tepid, at best. There are so many great places to eat breakfast around here, I would move on to the next place.

We love this place. They have amazing food and the service is good as well.
When they are busy. It. Is. Swamped. That’s got to mean something, right? It’s ALWAYS worth the wait.
The outside seating is good as well. On a nice day of course.
It’s always a great idea to order in and then bring it home. It’s ready when you get there and you don’t have to wait.

Had this for the first time when I was in Florida. Have to say glad NOLA is just as great. Great food and the ppl are always so nice. It’s my once a week place

I had a Southwest Scramble here and it was one of my favorite breakfasts ever.
Only complaint is we were told a 15 minute wait time and it ended up being closer to 40.
Waitress and hostess were friendly and accommodating.

Stopped by for a quick lunch with my husband as we were looking for somewhere near City Park. We sat on the porch which was pleasant and the service was very good. I ordered the decadent sounding lobster and Brie omelet at that was approved by the waitress and my husband had the burger with bacon and cheese. Both came with crispy square Brabant style hash browns which were good. My omelet was yummy with a surprising amount of lobster. It also came with your choice of bread and I chose the English muffin. My husband was pleased with his burger. Overall, a really nice place for lunch as well as breakfast with options for those who aren’t up for eggs and lots of brunch type options for those of us anytime breakfast lovers. I will definitely go back.

After a year and a half going by, I decided to give this place another chance. It also didn’t help that another Unilocal friend found the chain near her and sang the praises. So here I am. Trying it again.
Last week when I came, I was seated quickly at the table next to the hostess booth/​front door. The waitress who seated me had an unpleasant look on her face, but someone (looked to be in charge, appeared to be a manager) told her to seat me. I ordered a couple of sides and an appetizer. Blackberry grits, fried green tomatoes, an english muffin and two handmade sausage patties. All of it was awesome. When the manager-​looking lady brought my food out, a young man (who I can only assume worked there as he stood right at the hostess booth, never straying very far, nor was he actually helping from what I could tell) asked her about my food, what it was, how did it taste. I’m not sure what he does at Another Broken Egg Café, but it was odd that he was asking so many questions, and just standing and watching me eat for most of my meal. It was all very unusual and confusing, but I am easily confused sometimes.
Today I ordered the biscuits and gravy which came with eggs (I like them scrambled), two sausage patties, and potatoes. It was all very good, and served by a friendly guy. Everyone seemed to be moving with a purpose today and working hard, which is an improvement from last week.
The restaurant itself is clean and neat. Why only three stars, an improvement over the two stars from June 2014? Well, the young gentleman freaked me out last week. Other than that, everything has been improved over my last review, and I hope it remains better. Just as a warning for the handicapped, there are steps to go up into the restaurant, and a lift to the side for wheelchairs, but it is fairly blocked in by benches and planters, so I am unsure how someone in a wheelchair will be able to get in. The interior of the restaurant also looked difficult to maneuver a wheelchair.

Brunch, please! I went here with some nursing friends recently and had biscuits with sausage gravy and eggs. Staff was friendly, food came out quickly, and the food was tasty and hot. They also have a bar.
It fits right in with the neighborhood, plus they have outdoor seating. I want to go now, actually…

What can I say? Eh? The atmosphere is nice, the service was pretty forgettable. I got the crab cake benedict. The country potatoes were frozen chunks of flash fried potatoes (no flavor, no real taste) and the benedict came with two filler-​full crab cakes which were overcooked and just didn’t taste quite right. The hollandaise was white, runny and have very little flavor. The red and green peppers must not have been fresh, because they had zero flavor.
Served in a skillet, it looked small and unappetizing.
My hubs had the «hey Lucy», which I took a bite of and I’m not 100% sure WHAT I was eating. It «tasted like burning!»
Also, the coffee was absolutely horrible. Served with cocktail stirrers… um, burnt plastic?
We used the app for «no wait» and deleted it. There are soooooooo many better spots for breakfast and brunch in this city. I *may* give them a second chance… but, it’ll be a while before this burnt taste is out of my mouth.

Did not have a good experience here. We went for brunch and the place was slammed. After waiting about an hour we were finally sat.
We started with the biscuit beignets which were really good, highly recommend. I ordered the Lafitte Tortilla which is a breakfast burrito with eggs and chorizo (it was terrible). My wife made a better choice and got the veggie delight omelette with egg whites which she enjoyed.
I must say the service here was pretty bad. It was so busy that it was hard to get ahold of anybody to let them know they forgot my orange juice. The kitchen must have been short staffed because the food took forever to get to us. Overall, pretty bad experience… I will never go back!

New facility with what looks like a curb you have to go over to get in the parking lot. Nice people working there and but everything else is for show. The Popeyes was over cooked ugly, salty eggs and spinach. The English muffin was limp and I toasted. I liked the potatoes. Beginets were dense, but okay. The dipping sauce tasted like über sweet marmalade. Chicory coffee was okay. My husband had Lakeview scrambled which were ugly overcooked eggs, but he said they tasted okay. Overall, I felt like I tore up $ 40 and threw it in the trash. Oh, did I mention the quarter size chip out of my plate? Bacteria grows in chips and cracks.
