Food is decent, but not great. In general, the prices are a bit on the high side for breakfast/brunch food but I'm sure the location plays a big part in that. Two things that annoyed me to no end, the music was horrible and the tables aren't high enough. I know this may seem insignificant but try eating while slouched over the entire time, and the music had me feeling like I was in a department store dressing room. Service was excellent, but there were just as many wait staff as there were customers so getting bad service would have been difficult. Maybe they could decrease their prices by decreasing the amount of employees a bit. All in all, this was my first visit and will most likely be my last. Much better breakfast options nearby.

First time to come here and really disappointed Service was slow and food lukewarm I was asked if I wanted to substitute the meat which was done but I wasn't told of the $3 up charge until the bill came Don't plan to return

They serve a hearty breakfast and because they're quaintly situated on the corner of a quiet Harrison Ave neighborhood, this place makes for a nice brunch spot. But that's its biggest downfall too, because it gets packed with every arrogant, annoying twat from the Lakeview area. My biggest complaint is that the staff is super slow. Some of the waiters just plain suck. And they always have a long line on the weekends. That said, if you have Ghandi's patience, and you're willing to wait, then prepare to have your taste buds rewarded and refreshed because they have a very nutritious menu that is also very tasty. Their brunch alcoholic cocktails don't disappoint either. Cheers!

As a rule I enjoy eating at Another Broken Egg franchises. This location was an enormous disappoint. I was waiting to have breakfast with my sons. I was seated immediately even though my sons had not yet arrived. I sat a table for 15 minutes. No one approached me. I even asked the host for a cup of coffee which never came. I finally walked out and went to Russell's Marina Grill instead, where I was immediately greeted at my table and asked if they could bring me some coffee while I waited. This location could learn a little something in customer relations from Russell's!

The food is great here. Every time me and my kids have come we have found something different on the menu and everything has been absolutely delicious. The only two downfalls (which is out of their control), is not enough parking, and long waits on the weekend...but as a business owner, I understand it from both angles, this is a good problem, it means there are a lot of people coming to see you and that people are willing to wait for your food!!

We had a great experience here! The space is large, clean, and very comfortable. The decor is very modern and friendly. The menu is large and was a little overwhelming, but everything that we ordered was great! We ordered the classic breakfast, huevos rancheros, the quinoa and granola, and the Chez B omelet. All portions were large and filling. They were cooked perfectly! The service was prompt and friendly. The prices were very fair for the quantity and quality of the food. Breakfast is breakfast for the most part, but a lot of places mess it up pretty frequently. These guys know what's up with breakfast!

We were told the wait would be 20 minutes for two people. 40 minutes later, I went to return the pager and find somewhere else to eat. The hostess said we were next for seating, so we waited...and waited...15 minutes later, we were seated. I was frustrated that we were lied to twice about the wait times. Unfortunately, it gets worse. We waited another 10 minutes after FINALLY getting seated and never met a waitress. We walked out. Wish I could've rated the food, but the service is a zero.

Cute Victorian house makes it feel less like a chain restaurant. Luckily, I received a coupon in the mail because it's kinda pricey. I mean for breakfast food. I had a traditional breakfast with an egg, English muffin and potatoes which tasted like fries. Fries are good. The English muffin was a little hard. The cafe' au lait was pretty good too. It was fun to stop in before work, charge my phone, eat a big breakfast and start the day. I'd recommend a visit with a family or small group for breakfast.
(3)Serrah S.
What a disappointment. After my children and I waited for 45 minutes to be seated, our waitress was rude and the food was really, really bad. Like really bad. Mind you I have young kids so it's not like this was difficult stuff, but some how a grilled cheese sandwich and pancakes were gross looking and my scrambled eggs were not cooked all the way. I like this location because it's close to my office but there are too many other places to chose from. Won't be back.

I could wish I can give it zero stars, I honestly do. This is my first time at this establishment. I've been to others and the service was superb but at this place I don't know what's going on. From the time me and my boy sat down, no one approached us. Not even for a drink order. I understand that we came in at a busy time but it was no excuse. The service was that bad that the lovely old ladies next to us stop one of the waiters to notify him that we've been sitting down for a little over 30 minutes. Yes, 30 minutes and I'm not even exaggerating. I did not wanted to say anything to the waiter or staff because I wanted to see what he or the staff was going to do. After a couple minutes the waiter approached us and apologize as he said that the table we were sitting at was originally his table. This is my first time here but I will give it another try at this establishment and see how it goes.

O.M. GAWD! We are so lucky...I just heard that a second Broken Egg is opening on February 10th! Yippy. The building is where The Gingerbread Caffe was. Great outdoor seating too! I'll update my post once I eat there... they open at 7am...so check back Monday at 10am :) On Sundays and Mondays they are only open until 2pm

I've tried Another Broken Egg in Destin, Fl and enjoyed it. I was happy to hear that another decent brunch place was opening up. I searched yelp and was discouraged by the reviews. Surprisingly, my husband bought a groupon, so I figured why not give it a chance. Today's visit was disappointing. First tell tale, my neighboring table food was brought out with a conspicuous burnt English muffin. When our food came out, I was hopeful. The presentation looked decent. With closer inspection, I realized my omelette was greasy. Very greasy. The stuffing of my omelette was also lacking. The bottom on my English muffin was a little darker than I'd like. My husband ate is meal and didn't finish. Which never happens. We both agree there are other places that serves better food. I'll vouch for the service being pretty good. However, it wasn't a busy Sunday. It was steady when we walked in. The waitstaff checked on us and made sure everything was ok. Too bad it doesn't make up for the less than mediocre food.

Though the waiter was very apologetic, the kitchen manager came out with only one of our meals (which was cold), and asked if we wanted a plate to share. We responded that we had another plate coming. He said "Yeah, about that...we tried to make it twice and it didnt come out to our liking, can I get you something else?"...after an hour waiting on our order. Now Im next door at Koz's waiting on chicken fingers for breakfast so I can eat before work. Third time trying Another Broken Yolk...don't waste your day.

Our oven is being replaced so unable to make breakfast this morning. Girlfriend decides to pick up from here. She got me the Supreme Omelet (bacon, sausage, cheese). Hrm. All of the inside ingredients are burnt to a crisp. Inedible. She requested no carb items; fresh fruit was the only option (pineapple, cantaloup, honeydew, grapes). My container still contained fried potatoes and an english muffin. No banana slices? Strawberries? Anyways, her breakfast was eggs benedict. The giant, thick, slab-o-ham was off-putting; still had the rind. The sauce was bland. Muffin was tough. Egg was cooked OK. We've been to several other "Broken Eggs", including one in Denver, and this location does not come up to par. Certainly not worth the $35 we paid for 2 breakfast meals. "Eek. Methinks not" accurately describes our first experience at this location.
(1)Olivia M.
What a bad experience... We had breakfast here today, both of us ordered the Hey Lucy Omlette and it was so greasy and completely lacking avocado. I also told the waiter several times not to put an engilsh muffin on my plate and ordered a side of fruit. To my surprise, my breakfast came with an English muffin and the side of fruit never arrived.... the waiter however did not forget to charge us for the fruit. Another Broken Egg needs to hire wait staff that is more skilled for a fast paced environment or give the servers fewer tables. We will not be repeating this experience.
(2)Janira W.
Wait time for the meal was pretty lengthy, The food was cool... Not to bad but the waitress wasn't too pleasant.
(3)Kelsey W.
We went here this morning for breakfast/brunch. We were seated immediately and our server came over for drinks shortly after. We came here because my husband saw online that they had gluten free pancakes, and they didn't disappoint! He had the cinnamon roll French toast without bananas foster sauce, and said "it was the first time I've had this before, and they're pretty good!". The coffee was delicious, as was the fresh squeezed oj. Price was pretty reasonable, maybe a bit on the high side but worth it for going somewhere where I can accommodate my dietary restrictions with no issues.
(4)Jason B.
I went to another broken egg for brunch and it was great. the wait we only about 15 minutes despite the place being packed. the bloody Mary's was one of the best I've ever had. the salmon was delicious also. I highly recommend.

I am writing this review because I recently visited another broken egg on Harrison in New Orleans. I ordered the crab stack and it was impeccable. The andouille in the butter champagne sauce and the garlic bread plus the crab cake and grit cake were beyond my liking. It was amazing! Next time I go to a broken egg cafe anywhere else I will ask for extra sauce though. Elizabeth's service was perfection. Refills on time, explained the meals she enjoyed very well which led me to choose one of her fav's the crab stack. It was an excellent choice. She was prompt friendly smiled a lot and I received splendid service from her waiting on me. Thank you another broken egg for your services. The owner should be proud.
(5)Michael D.
Worst service ever for a place with those prices. When we were greeted our server complained she was hungover and she forgot to put our order in. After 30 minutes we asked for for our food and she said it was coming right up ....not. Will not return. Manager was called several times to tables on our visit
(1)Richard B.
The food was really good. The service was terrible. I would have tipped the chefs if I could. We had a long wait for Sunday brunch but we were seated sooner than the 45 minutes we were told it would take. The only time we saw our waiter was when he took our order (since we had been waiting, we looked at the menu) and gave us the bill. The guy that brought our food didn't bring me the main dish of my meal. I don't think he would have if the kitchen manager had not been walking by and said something to him. My girlfriend did not get half of her order and had to ask another waitress for it. We had to ask for silverware. Both meals were good, but I felt so slighted by the service, for the first time in my life, I did not leave a tip. We have eaten there a few other times, some good, some like this time. It's been the same manager, so he really doesn't seem to hire the best people or seem motivated to run a great restaurant. After this visit, I don't think we'll be going back there for awhile, which is a shame
(2)Michael B.
I so enjoy going here. Popular place, diners enjoy their convo here, large groups arrive so tables don't turn quickly. Food is excellent however, at least I think so. One of my favorite cozy places.
(5)Carolyn F.
The service sucks. Went today at. 11:30 sat on porch open seating waited for someone to bring menu then waited another 10 mins for server to come take order got our drink order left got those but didn't take our order. We waited another 15 mins then walked out. We did leave money for the drinks. Two other table sat outside and 2 different servers came out to help them and another server was cleaning tables around us and didn't even ask if we had been waited on. It should not be my job to ask for a server to come help take my order. There are way too many restaurant in this city that want my business. I didn't even want to give one start but you have to in order to post a review
(1)Jonny Z.
Food was good. Service was pathetic. When I have to wait 45 minutes for a table, I can only blame myself because I chose to wait. However, if the cause of a long wait is because of the staff then that's a different story. Our waiter was pretty much non-existent. I can not remember the last time that I had such an inattentive waiter. I'm still waiting for a condiment that I requested. Never came. We waited so long for the check that I eventually had to go inside and ask the host to try and find my check. Incidentally, this was not because our waiter had too many tables. We actually waited so long for our food that the place was pretty much cleared out. I also noticed that the manager had to be called to two different tables in our section. Food was good, but not 45 minute wait, bad service good. I may try the location on Magazine St one day, but I don't think I'll waste another Sunday afternoon here.

I am a huge fan of Another broken Egg, The food is impressive and there is outdoor seating and the building is beautiful old NOLA style new. The kids menu is fantastic and they give crayons and a worksheet that both young and old can enjoy. I am a huge Chorizo lover and it is on the menu! So happy to have them!
(5)R D.
Been to this new location twice so far and both times food was pretty good, served hot with good presentation. Menu is varied and has something for everyone. The problem with this place is the service. The girl that waited on us the second time we went was terrible. Had to be reminded to bring things and just left us feeling overall like she couldn't be bothered. A sign telling people to "seat themselves" would be nice, as employees just look at you when you come in. If you see the other reviews for this place you'll see these types of comments over and over. I'm hoping things get better, as everything else about the place is ok.
(3)Stacey B.
First, I would like to say the servers and staff were absolutely friendly and attentive. However, I was not blown away by the food. I WANTED to be, but I just wasn't. I had the veggie burger, which was pretty bland and the potatoes really seemed like Ora Ida frozen potatoes. I know they just opened, so maybe they are still getting things together. My two dining companions were not impressed either. Perhaps we all ordered the wrong thing. The Brie appetizer looks awesome! Hopefully I can update this review with a better one next time. However, I just don't know if I'd go again... But again, I want to emphasize the staff was very very kind!

BEST BRUNCH SPOT I HAVE VISITED IN A WHILE. Service was great and the food was superb! They get all five Stars!
(5)Liz S.
Went to Another Broken Egg this weekend with my family and was thoroughly underwhelmed. The food itself was OK, but the execution was way off. If I didn't know better I would have assumed the restaurant had opened within the past few weeks. When we arrived we were put on a waiting list (no big deal) and were seated about thirty minutes later. Upon seating us, we were told that there were no high chairs available for our toddler. How does that happen? They have 5 total high chairs for the whole restaurant which was literally PACKED with kids. No big deal, though, that alone doesn't kill it. Next up, we ordered two cups of coffee - no big thing for a breakfast place...no mugs. What? Again, how does that happen? You are exclusively a breakfast restaurant. We received our coffees about 15 minutes into the meal. When we set out to order I was surprised that there didn't seem to be a children's menu, so we ordered our entrees and an order of biscuit beignets for our daughter to munch on. Only toward the end of the meal when she was getting restless did our server offer to bring her some crayons, at which point we realized there WAS a kids menu that we just hadn't seen. Also bizarre. When we received the biscuit beignets and started to eat them we realized that we had never been given napkins or silverware, nor did we ever receive any waters (which had been asked for). None of these things alone were a make or break, but the whole thing was just kind of blah. The food was OK, the service was OK, but overall it was just a meh experience. We will probably stick to our regular haunts rather than returning.
(2)Cherri W.
Okay. So I love the food! And the porch! I have been here 4 times. I live three blocks away. The shrimp and grits are THE best I've ever had and I grew up in the South. Why three stars? Well, I have to say that the service is just really lacking. Not the regular service with attitude we are used to in NOLA but just lacking in personality and SLOW. I don't expect perfection. I promise. That expectation has been beat out of me since I've been here (14 years now). It's seriously lacking. If they could fix that then it would be a near perfect place. Oh, and the chairs inside are a bit uncomfortable. Each time was a different server. I'm not sure if they understaff or if they triple seat the poor people but whatever it is it needs to be assessed. Until then I'll be ordering food to go.

Breakfast was good, little pricy for eggs. Service and coffee was eggcellant. I had the Hey Lucy omelette plate and hubs had some potato with various meats and egg creation and he wasn't impressed with his choice so i shared half of mine with him. He said his was really dry. I really enjoyed mine. Felt like i was having a breakfast out west somewheres. The coffees were very strong and so was the bill for breakfast.....about $36 for the two of us. I will go back if in the hood and its not crowded.
(3)yasi j.
Definitely not as good as the northshore location. Cute place but for New Orleans the food was on the same level as ihop or sizzlers. Also the service was poor. My waiter actually burped when he brought the bill to me. I won't be coming back especially since there ate way better places in NOLA.
(2)Joseph E.
amazing food! veggie omelette was outstanding. my daughter Loved the blackberry grits!
(4)Pietro M.
Service was awful. My wife and I went there for lunch one day. We order a cinnamon roll to start. When it finally came out it was hard as a brick. We sent it back. When our sandwiches came out we had to ask for our sides. I had order a side of grits, which I never got. Our sandwiches tasted okay.
(2)Ellen Y.
Broken Egg is the best brunch ever. We came to this location on a Saturday. Food was outstanding. Husband got biscuits and gravy, changed the sausage for bacon (oh my the bacon! It's baked and delicious). I got French toast. Yuuuummmmmm. I love it! But I will say, the service leaves a LOT to be desired. I don't know if they were short staffed but it was a Saturday morning. They should be at their max for servers. We sat down fairly quickly (like 20 minutes and the complimentary coffee during the wait is awesome), but there were a lot of open tables with a lot of people waiting. What gives?? Like seriously, seven tables open and no one being seated at them. It was strange. But eventually after about 25 minutes, they did seat people at those tables. So definitely come for the food, expect a wait (an hour is typical), and maybe it'll take some time for the hostesses to learn how to seat. OR you can go to the Magazine street location and get fantastic service!!

Wait was 45 mins but service was great and yummy food. My daughter got the fanciest chocolate milk ever.
(5)Leena T.
Came here a few months ago on a busy Sunday morning. Wait time seemed to be long, but myself and boyfriend were happy to know that one of the managers that morning added an extra table to accommodate us two. Major brownie points!! Bf and I ordered screwdrivers which were in my opinion amazing because they were strong and delicious. For our apps, we ordered the biscuit beignets, which were really different from the usual beignets I eat because they had a zest of orange in it!! So good with the honey mamalade. For my entree, I had the Benedict Oscar. Which is cubed steak, topped with poached eggs and delicious garlic sautéed crabmeat and asparagus/bēarnaise sauce. I did think the sauce was a little bit bland, but nonetheless I was still satisfied nonetheless. Our server was a little bit slow so we spent more time here than we wish we could have. I'm sure she was overwhelmed because of how busy they were!! Overall, great place for families to come eat. Menu has many options for everyone.

Yaaaaaaaas. This place slays. There are a couple of tells for a high-quality establishment: the beverage product brand and the weight of the silverware. This place has exceeded in both of those areas. This cafe is a wonderful, quaint place. It literally feels just like grandmas house - and I rather love my grandmas house. The food was DELIGHTFUL. I'm always a little iffy with my eggs so I was quite wary to order the scrambled skillet but I did and it was amazing. God bless. The hot chocolate was so rich and creamy and the fruit parfait was beautiful! The service was flawless. Everyone was so eager to take care of us. And they were so friendly. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I want to cry I'm so happy. So yeah. I have no other choice but to move in.
(5)Dawn B. B.
We got there Sunday morning right before 10 am..We would suggest that. Very busy and understandably...the service was GREAT! We had some specifics for our diets and every one was delivered...with grace. The fare was yummy and it was a joy to sit outside...Our busser even asked if we were finished instead of "done" before picking up our plates...first class..we hear they are under new mgt. Bravo for the xtras in training...we will definetly be back.

About a month ago we went to another broken egg for breakfast. It was good. The host gave us attitude but otherwise it was a fine experience. We especially liked the sweet potato pancake and the Mediterranean breakfast potatoes. So we decided to go back. This time was a completely different experience. We walked in and were not greeted for several minutes. Finally someone came up and brought us to a little back room away from the rest of the diners. They first tried to sit us at a table for two even though with my son, we were three. I asked to move to a bigger table since there were three open bigger tables in the room. They said OK. I asked for a high chair and waited quite some time for them to bring one. Once we finally got settled we realized that there were several (think 8-10) flies in the window next to our table. Our waitress approached and asked us for our drink order I asked for water and coffee. The coffee was forgotten. She came back several minuets later to take our food order...an omelet to split with a side of Mediterranean potatoes and a sweet potato pancake to split (same as last time) she said they could split the omelet for us and give us extra sides for an additional charge. We agreed. As we sat there the flies got worse so we stopped the manager and asked to be moved. We told her about the flies and her response was "i'm working on it!". We settled into our new table and were trying to put the sour start behind us but things got worse as our food came out. First, the omelet tasted like it was cooked in the butter flavoring they have at the movie theaters for popcorn, and the onions in the potatoes were burnt to a crisp. I asked for my coffee, and the waitress brought it, then quickly took it away returning with another cup. When I asked her why she did that she said she think she saw something floating in the first one. GROSS!! I could not choke down my omelet but the pancake was still delicious so I did eat a good portion of that. We saw the manager again and told her about the burnt onions and she said "that's how they are supposed to be, tobacco onions, it's their recipe not mine". Now I grew up in the restaurant business (my parents owned a restaurant) and I know the proper response is, "I'm sorry you didn't like it, can I get you something else or remove it from the bill?" not, "Hey don't blame me!". So we decide to get the check and get the heck out of dodge but again the waitress is nowhere to be found. Finally we stop someone and ask for our check. The waitress drops it off and disappears again. Another 10 minuets go by and we ask someone if we can please pay our bill. The guy says I cant do it but I will find your waitress and give it to her.If it hadn't been 28.00 (for a pancake and an omelet and a cup of coffee!!!!) we would have just left money on the table and left Well needless to say, she did not get a tip. I'm bummed that I wont get another sweet potato pancake but have decided even though they are good it wasn't worth all the trouble. And Surrey's has wonderful pancakes anyways.

I received a coupon in the mail for a free traditional breakfast here, and after hearing so many people brag about it, I figured why not try it out? From the outside, it looks like a quaint and cutesy breakfast place, very home-y. We walked in where we were greeted by the hostess or should I say stared at like we had 3 heads. Because this was my first time here, I wasn't sure if it was seat yourself or wait to be seated so my sister spoke up and said a table for 2 please because I was still taken aback that the hostess didn't say anything. Already off to a bad start, which kind of ruined the whole meal because now I was paying attention to everything wrong with the place and not what is right about it. The hostess then trudged over to a table to seat us and blandly said how a waitress would be with us shortly. After a few minutes of my sister trying to decide what she wanted, I overheard a woman and her husband ask the hostess if they can please have their waitress. Either they are extremely impatient or they've been waiting a while and judging by the hostess's demeanor, I have a feeling they didn't just get there. The hostess was too busy slowly cleaning a table to go get a waiter at that moment even though you can tell that the parents were not pleased, especially since the kids started to get restless. Finally the waitress came, and she was surprisingly friendly. But again, I still had a bad first impression so I noticed more negative than positive. When she brought us water, she forgot to give us straws. I didn't feel like waiting forever to get one from her so I was going to get up out of my chair instead and get one from the bar. Luckily, she got to me as I was in the motion of standing up so I didn't have to walk across the restaurant. When we were eating, I noticed another older couple complaining to the manager about something. I was trying to eavesdrop to hear what it was about, but they were all the way across the room. When our bill finally came, I noticed we were only charged for a traditional breakfast (which was supposed to be free), fruit, and a cup of coffee, when we ordered the traditional breakfast, 2 cups of coffee, and an omelette, which is the more expensive of the two. When I asked the waitress about it, she said it was the bill for the person who was there before us.....good thing there are honest people in this world. Now onto the positives: The atmosphere is very New Orleans and home-y. You almost feel like you're in an upscale diner or even a bed and breakfast. The porch area looks nice too. The food. DELICIOUS! My sister got the Floridian omelette, and it was SOOOOO GOOD! The traditional breakfast I got was just an English muffin, eggs, and hashbrowns, nothing fancy. If I go back, I wou,ld definitely get an omelette or something. All in all, I will come back again despite the hostess's lack of motivation and poor attitude. I am giving her the benefit of the doubt that she was having a bad day. Like I said, our waitress was super friendly, the kitchen staff member who brought us our food was nice, and so was the manager, who came around and asked how we were doing. I just hope the poor service isn't a reoccurring problem, which seems like it based upon other reviews. I thought the prices were kinda high for a breakfast place so I expect better service. Hopefully if it is a problem, they fix it because the food, location, atmosphere, and some of their workers, are all there. It was just that one girl who gave me such a negative impression of the place.

HALLELUJAH! This place! YUM! My boyfriend had been here a few times and I had never, so one lazy morning lying in bed we decided to grab brunch because it was a rare beautiful late winter day. My only gripes are that is was one of those "lets maximize on space and place tables EVERYWHERE" type restaurants. Still, it was comfortable enough for my boyfriend and I to dine in. The Hosts are also blonde dumb about wait times which I don't necessarily blame on them. They quote you 15-20 minutes and its accurate but you wait longer and its because the patrons are in the lakeview area and linger at their table well after finishing meals. We sat next to a group who were eating when we arrived and when we finally sat 30 minutes later they were chit chatting about EVERYTHING up until we were served food which took another 20 minutes. The server was a bit frustrated but super nice in not rushing them so I guess that's some thing to consider. People think late breakfast means take in the ambiance. Still, the Hosts need to give more accurate wait times. I ordered the Cinnamon French Toast with fresh fruit. PEOPLE LET ME TELL YOU BOUT' MY BEST FRIEND !! It's an over-sized cinnamon roll sliced into 3 halves horizontal, dipped in french toast batter, pan cooked, and the syrup is a mixture of cinnamon frosting and syrup. This was the best thing I'd ever had in my entire Breakfast life! My BF insisted that I order it and I damn near proposed to him after eating it. It was SO FREAKING GOOD. He had the full breakfast platter and I wound up eating off his plate. I was willing to go to war over his eggs and pancakes. This place is at the top of NOLA's best Breakfast/ Brunch places. Def try out this location and the one on magazine.

This place isn't half bad. I really enjoyed the atmosphere they have been packed both times I went but they get you seated fairly quick. Stay clear of the Mediterranean potatoes the description sounds good but I had to send them back three times. But the manager came to my table to apologize and gave me a complimentary meal ticket for my next visit. The staff are very friendly; their winning dishes would be the cinnamon roll French toast omgx10! And their lobster rolls are VERY tasty!

Most amazing Banana Fosters waffles... Looking for a great brunch spot? Look no more! This place does get a bit crowded but the flow of service has improved tremendously!!! Gina - new manager orchestrates the entire operations with ease and grace. Even with the morning rush... She still checks every aspect of the service flow - bussing tables ... Filling drinks and greeting everyone. Their team really flows well. The food is amazing ... I'll be back again for sure!

My only guess to how this Another Broken Egg will survive is because of the location and the fact that Lakeview residents are habitually loyal. The menu is vast and offers the typical breakfast fare. I opted for the eggs benedict and not one element of the dish was above mediocre. Everything from how the eggs were poached, english muffin, ham and hollandaise sauce. Everything was just blah. Not to mention it took an hour for our food to hit our table. Our server was nice and friendly, and did apologize for the food taking a while. I would have loved to give this place 4 or even 5 stars, but the food just does not compare to other places in the city for what they are charging. I won't be hurrying to come back.

I have been here one time since its opening. The place...its cute but cute doesn't make up for the fact that the hostess was awful! The food was really good too! The coffee not bad! The waitress did a great job! But the hostess looked like she had never interacted with people before. She could have been having an off day but first impressions are everything. The food is also pricey so beware! I spent over 20 bucks for an omelette and coffee. It was a good omelette but breakfast to me is just breakfast. I would have been fine eating a bowl of cereal for 2 bucks. Not saying it is bad or anything. I just think it is overpriced. Basically you are eating there just so you can say you have been to The Broken Egg cafe.

I highly recommend the shrimp and grits or The Lucy breakfast omelet. The menu is very diverse and has options for anyone, as well as a full bar. When the weather permits, definitely sit outside on the charming porch.

The food was good, but brunch on Mardi Gras day was a bad idea. The government would be more efficient at managing a wait list. Our estimated 30 minute wait turned into an hour and 20 minutes. Apparently they do call ahead seating, so our wait time was extended considerably. Had something else been open nearby, my party of 3 would've gone elsewhere. Bottom line--food was good, but the poor wait list management will deter me from returning. Never again!
(2)Helen L.
It was phenomenal! Both the service and the food. We went there at 7:10 am therefore our food was fresh and delicious! We return after my workout. I loved the Black Bean Benedict!
(5)Jeff C.
My picky son loved it so much it's the only place he wants to go. That in itself would be enough for me, but great service, original cuisine, and 1 of a kind atmosphere put it over the top.
(5)Amy S.
I'm so disappointed with the service and food here. It's so convenient to my work that's its almost impossible not to come here. But I will not anymore. This is the third time my (our) order is wrong and when we tell the manager she has an attitude. Its not our fault the order is wrong its the waitress fault. Once again very disappointed.
(1)Mandy L.
Great food in a laid back environment. Service was quick and friendly. Manager touched the table and was present on the floor. Definitely coming back!
(5)Tari T.
We had heard many things about this place so it was time to give it a try... and we were not disappointed. We sat down quickly, were waited on quickly, and had our food come out quickly. Our waitress gave us incredible service, and two other employees checked on us to make sure we were doing alright. The staff were very attentive and we were happy to see that after reading some of the reviews. Our food was excellent. We had the Popeye's Scramble and the Traditional breakfast. Neither one of us can tolerate a greasy meal but took our chances on the breakfast potatoes. Soooo good! Crispy and flavorful without leaving the plate full of grease. Everything we ordered came out just as we special ordered it, tasted better than we expected, and was plated nice and neat. The ambience was very enjoyable. Sometimes restaurants have too much "flair". It feels like they are trying to hard. This place had just the right amount. We will definitely go back.

This place was stupid crowded on a Sunday morning but our group of 6 was told that the wait would be 15 minutes...uh, yeah, we shouldn't have believed them. As we were about to leave 75 minutes later, they finally find a table for our group. hmmmm The porch is great. And our server was awesome. I enjoyed my bananas foster waffle (except that the bananas came out a good 10 minutes after the rest of my waffle) and I snuck potatoes off of one of my companions plate and they were yummy too. I'm really glad we were seated on the porch because the inside was freezing with the a/c cranked pretty high. I get that the servers are running but no need to turn the patrons into icebergs. The menu was varied and our group found something to make each of us happy. But between the delay and the price point (my waffle was $11 dollars with the foster sauce & bananas), I'm not sure how soon I'll be back.

We went around 12:30 and we're seated around 1:45. The wait might have been long because there were a few tables that just sat around and talked before we got there and well after closing. There was also a impromptu baby shower that took up most of the dinning room, and waited to order until close to closing. When we finally got seated our waitress seemed overwhelmed, but we tried to make it easier for her, but that didn't help! We had to ask for straws, napkins, and silverware. We ordered the biscuit beignets and they were amaze balls. We couldn't use the plates for our appetizer, because there were grits stuck to the plates. So after sitting until 2:40 we finally get our food! Yay it looked and smelled amazing! My poor friend starts to toss her salad and what comes up two receipts!!!! Management apologized and replaced her salad with one with no receipts! .... My cinnamon roll French toast was yummy and super sweet I recommend sharing it! All in all the food was amazing, service sucked, and they need to clean the dishes!

I have been here on three separate occasions now. The first time (shortly after they opened) was great, the service and staff was quick. I had the eggs benedict and it was awesome. The second time, the service was slow, but the food was hot and good. I ordered the French Toast and it was great. The third visit, on this last Monday, it was mid-morning, and the host stated that I could pick my own table, as they were not busy. I do not really like that, if I wanted to go somewhere that you picked your own seating, I would go to a cheaper restaurant where I would expect it. It took awhile to get a menu, the waitress was slow. I ordered the corned beef hash, did not want the potatoes, and I was able to substitute an english muffin. The food was scorching hot, nearly burning my mouth. The waitress never came with my ticket to pay, even after waiting almost ten minutes after pushing my plate away and having my wallet out, so I went to the bar. The lady at the bar took my credit card, looked around, then walked outside with my credit card and walked around. It took her some time to run my card, even though I pointed at the table where I was at, and told her what I had. The prices were a bit high, which I was more than ok with on the first visit because that visit was great, but I am regretting coming back after the second visit only being ok.
(2)Courtney W.
My first time going....expect a wait time but the food is pretty good and filling. I got the Southwest Scramble! Good stuff...and they gave me extra since I told them I was pregnant and starving lol
(4)Vanessa D.
Service was awesome; very friendly and knowledgable. Prices are higher than I'd like to pay for breakfast, even considering the specialty items. The food was above average, but not GREAT. I think the prices are high to account for a lovely setting. It is corporate, but this is not obvious because the the "house" and ambiance are charming. There were a couple of items I would like to try if I go back. Not a place I will frequent, but glad I checked it off my list.

After an early Saturday morning graduation ceremony my wife, son and girlfriend decided to celebrate by having brunch at the Broken Egg. The manager/hostess was very friendly and wait time was only 15 minutes for Saturday morning. My son ordered the Eggs Benedict with crab cakes, the Eggs Benedict was fine , but the crab meat had a terrible fishy smell, the manager removed the dish from our bill and offered a replacement dish. I had the basic Eggs Benedict, it was okay, eggs slightly over cooked and the English muffins were soggy. The one thing we did enjoy was the beignet biscuits. Watch out how you part on the side streets, when we left the restaurant we had a nice gift waiting for us on the car windshield, a $20 parking ticket for parking on wrong side of the street. What was so ironic about this was Officer Morris just got a complementary breakfast at the Broken Egg and was the one issuing the parking tickets on Louis XIV street. Protect and Serve.

Our first visit to this new location did not begin well at all. We had a party of 7 and wanted to sit together. For some reason, whomever was running the front, could not seat us for almost two hours. I know we should have left after the first hour, but because of the time of day, it was Sunday and the size of our party, we'd have to wait even if it was the local Ihop. I don't know what the problem was or what was happening in the background, but no one bothered to get a manager's help until we finally requested to speak to him. He apologized profusely and thanked us for sticking it out. He was nice enough to comp our brunch as well. The four in our party had to leave due to a prior engagement, although they should have stayed, hindsight..........The three of us that stayed, enjoyed the eggs benedict, cinnamon roll french toast, beignets and their homemade corned beef hash. Everything was good and since we were starving - we ate it all up. The home fries that came with the benedicts looked perfectly cooked, but without seasoning - not a deal breaker since there's salt, pepper, hot sauces. The corned beef hash had an interesting texture, it was almost like scrapple. I was expecting something more substantial that required the chewing of a discernible meat and potato. This seemed to be pureed together and grilled into a patty. It tasted good, it was just presented in a way that we had never experienced before. The wait time and front of house staff does merit one star or less, but the manager gets four stars for doing his best to rectify a bad experience.
(4)Ane T.
Next time, please ask whether I am done with my meal before dropping off my check. Rude! Slow service. I don't think their kitchen is made to handle a high volume pace. Food was edible, to say the least. Everything came out room temperature and we waited over 30 minutes. I don't mind waiting for good food. However, this was not the case. Atmosphere was uncomfortable. Tables were way too close together. Flies everywhere. Super dirty carpet. Extremely humid inside.
(1)Kimberly C.
The house grits are to die for! I could eat them every day. Great service and really nice to sit on the porch for breakfast.
(5)Emily A.
This place was seriously amazing. We wanted to go to a chill, local breakfast place and this was it. They had the best bloody mary I had in New Orleans at the time. I was craving biscuits and gravy, and again, best biscuits and gravy I had in New Orleans (and I got them more than a few times during my week there...). The atmosphere is cozy, its a family restaurant. They had plenty of tables and the place was pretty open. You get a lot of space. We were told we had to wait 20 twenty minutes and was seated in 10. I can appreciate that.
(5)Allie N.
Just moved to New Orleans (Metairie area) and was looking for a cute breakfast place. I got just that, and more! I ordered the traditional breakfast with scrambled eggs. I was expecting your ordinary eggs, bacon, and potatoes but was pleasantly surprised! The bacon was nice and crisp, not floppy like other places. The eggs were fluffy and the potatoes were nice and done like I like them! I got an iced mocha that my amazing female server suggested and it hit the spot. I would suggest this place to everyone!
(5)Mike T.
The service is great and the atmosphere is fine. However, the food here can be a hit or a miss & sadly today was a miss. My friend order the Belgian waffle and she made it a combo with scrambled eggs w/bacon. While I had the Sweet Potato pancake and a combo as well. Also, each of our food was around $7-$10. I was disappointed with my dish. It was just one big ole pancake which was 7.99 without the combo. If I would have known that it came with ONE pancake then I would have gotten their speciality brunch. I ate most of it but one part of the pancake was drenched in syrup & so I couldn't eat it anymore. It was too sweet for me.
(3)Andrea S.
Superior servers!! I have to do a shout out to Elena, Rock Star server. Quick service, great food and charming atmosphere. Specifically the biscuits and gravey were yummy. Eggs prepared perfectly, yummy seasoned potatoes, friut was fresh and the mamosas at the next table gave me drink envy.
(5)Alex R.
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!
(2)Maura Z.
Another Broken Egg in Lakeview is just that...another Another Broken Egg. If you're familiar with them, nothing new here. Pretty standard breakfast fare. Maybe a little rough around the edges sometimes (think slightly burned English muffin, spotty service), but reliable overall. Big menu with nice fluffy omelettes & pancakes, crunchy perfect breakfast potatoes, good selection of "healthy" items, and even a decent burger in there. Get here early. It's getting too hot to sit outside, so the dining room was almost full by 8:30 this morning. Everyone has the same idea..
(3)Nora S.
If the name of your restaurant is "Another Broken Egg," your kitchen staff should actually know how to cook eggs. I'm an egg fiend. Poached, scrambled, fried, chicken eggs, quail eggs, fish eggs. I loves me some eggs! Thus, I've ordered Eggs Benedict here several times &, with one exception, the eggs were beaucoup undercooked. When I order a poached egg, I don't expect to get an egg that is raw everywhere but the outside so that a cascade of gelatinous white goo oozes all over my plate when I hit it with the knife & fork. Runny yolks, cooked whites. That's how a poached egg is supposed to be served. But good luck with that! When you send them back, you get eggs so hard, you could use them as paperweights. Ordering eggs over medium here is no different. The one time I tried that, I ended up telling our server to just forget the eggs after the second attempt. Fortunately, it was in the afternoon & they do have a delicious chicken quesadilla to fall back on. The service here is also extremely hit & miss. We've never had any problems with the hosts or hostesses & the young man who waited on us during the Over Medium Fiasco was as sweet as he could be. But on one breakfast visit, we saw our waitress when she took our order & when she brought the check. Since we never saw her again, we asked a neighboring waitress to help us & she did. So we tipped her at the end of the meal instead of the waitress actually assigned to our table. These problems are a shame because, in a Victorian house, the place is cute as hell, only a 5 minute drive from my home &, as I said, I love eggs. But the frustration of knowing I'll have to repeatedly send my egg dish back until it's cooked properly isn't worth my return.

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 uber 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.
(2)K B.
Good concepts poor execution. Had the Chez B omelet. The onions were burnt. The biscuit was good. The side of Mediterranean potatoes we also burnt! The onions in them were also burnt!! Not sure who's coking the food. But there's no quality control. The service isn't bad. But based on the quality of food. Won't return!! Also despite there being many open seats in the front of restaurant. My husband n I were seated in the back in a smaller room. We didn't mind until another black couple came also. I took a walk to the restroom to notice only whites seated in the front and a fair skinned black family. After almost finishing breakfast. We noticed a young Asian couple coming in the area. But quickly leaving. We thought they left. But they were seated in the front. The $33 bill really pissed me off cuz I barely ate the inedible food!!!
(1)Teneha B.
Love the ambiance of this place. Outdoor seating on the wrap around porch is totally in place. The good: My espresso was very powerful & did not disappoint. The food was prepared to order & was delivered in a timely fashion; cooked according to my specifications. The crab cakes were flaky & lightly seasoned just right. The eggs were light, fluffy & palette-pleasing. English muffins toasted to perfection. Service with a smile is not on the menu, but is delivered. The not-so-good: With only 8-10 parking spaces in front the door, parking is a rat race. But off-street parking & residential parking are there to save the day. Crowded, but I found the seating to move fairly quickly, so no complaints here. I have passed this place on several occasions, but never made the time to stop in. Glad to have had the suggestion made on this day.
(4)Huong H.
Staffs are friends. Always checking on how we're doing. Owner is friendly and stops by the table. Overall great service! Didn't have to wait so long for our food! City grits is probably my favorite! Thick&creamy! The crab cake was good but the sauce was a bit much. Don't care for the taste to much! French toast was ok probably won't get it again. Just toooo sweet. And strong bourbon sauce.overall not so bad,I don't mind giving it another try.
(4)Julie Jackson B.
NOT CLEAN: First time there today and I sat at the bar. The servers were rolling silverware and one kept dropping pieces on floor. I pointed this out and she said. " ok " but kept rolling the dirty utensils. Pretty sure I nor any other customers eat off the floor. Will not go back and will advise my friends to avoid .
(1)Dorothy M.
Loved it. Delicious breakfast. Clean & nicely decorated but with a laid back feel. Wonderful service.
(5)Janira W.
Wait time for the meal was pretty lengthy, The food was cool... Not to bad but the waitress wasn't too pleasant.
(3)Kelsey W.
We went here this morning for breakfast/brunch. We were seated immediately and our server came over for drinks shortly after. We came here because my husband saw online that they had gluten free pancakes, and they didn't disappoint! He had the cinnamon roll French toast without bananas foster sauce, and said "it was the first time I've had this before, and they're pretty good!". The coffee was delicious, as was the fresh squeezed oj. Price was pretty reasonable, maybe a bit on the high side but worth it for going somewhere where I can accommodate my dietary restrictions with no issues.
(4)Jason B.
I went to another broken egg for brunch and it was great. the wait we only about 15 minutes despite the place being packed. the bloody Mary's was one of the best I've ever had. the salmon was delicious also. I highly recommend.
(5)Nina S.
Though the waiter was very apologetic, the kitchen manager came out with only one of our meals (which was cold), and asked if we wanted a plate to share. We responded that we had another plate coming. He said "Yeah, about that...we tried to make it twice and it didnt come out to our liking, can I get you something else?"...after an hour waiting on our order. Now Im next door at Koz's waiting on chicken fingers for breakfast so I can eat before work. Third time trying Another Broken Yolk...don't waste your day.
(1)Matthew B.
Our oven is being replaced so unable to make breakfast this morning. Girlfriend decides to pick up from here. She got me the Supreme Omelet (bacon, sausage, cheese). Hrm. All of the inside ingredients are burnt to a crisp. Inedible. She requested no carb items; fresh fruit was the only option (pineapple, cantaloup, honeydew, grapes). My container still contained fried potatoes and an english muffin. No banana slices? Strawberries? Anyways, her breakfast was eggs benedict. The giant, thick, slab-o-ham was off-putting; still had the rind. The sauce was bland. Muffin was tough. Egg was cooked OK. We've been to several other "Broken Eggs", including one in Denver, and this location does not come up to par. Certainly not worth the $35 we paid for 2 breakfast meals. "Eek. Methinks not" accurately describes our first experience at this location.
(1)Jason D.
Food is decent, but not great. In general, the prices are a bit on the high side for breakfast/brunch food but I'm sure the location plays a big part in that. Two things that annoyed me to no end, the music was horrible and the tables aren't high enough. I know this may seem insignificant but try eating while slouched over the entire time, and the music had me feeling like I was in a department store dressing room. Service was excellent, but there were just as many wait staff as there were customers so getting bad service would have been difficult. Maybe they could decrease their prices by decreasing the amount of employees a bit. All in all, this was my first visit and will most likely be my last. Much better breakfast options nearby.
(3)Joshua C.
They serve a hearty breakfast and because they're quaintly situated on the corner of a quiet Harrison Ave neighborhood, this place makes for a nice brunch spot. But that's its biggest downfall too, because it gets packed with every arrogant, annoying twat from the Lakeview area. My biggest complaint is that the staff is super slow. Some of the waiters just plain suck. And they always have a long line on the weekends. That said, if you have Ghandi's patience, and you're willing to wait, then prepare to have your taste buds rewarded and refreshed because they have a very nutritious menu that is also very tasty. Their brunch alcoholic cocktails don't disappoint either. Cheers!
(3)Shawn G.
As a rule I enjoy eating at Another Broken Egg franchises. This location was an enormous disappoint. I was waiting to have breakfast with my sons. I was seated immediately even though my sons had not yet arrived. I sat a table for 15 minutes. No one approached me. I even asked the host for a cup of coffee which never came. I finally walked out and went to Russell's Marina Grill instead, where I was immediately greeted at my table and asked if they could bring me some coffee while I waited. This location could learn a little something in customer relations from Russell's!
(2)Paul T.
The food is great here. Every time me and my kids have come we have found something different on the menu and everything has been absolutely delicious. The only two downfalls (which is out of their control), is not enough parking, and long waits on the weekend...but as a business owner, I understand it from both angles, this is a good problem, it means there are a lot of people coming to see you and that people are willing to wait for your food!!
(4)Olivia M.
What a bad experience... We had breakfast here today, both of us ordered the Hey Lucy Omlette and it was so greasy and completely lacking avocado. I also told the waiter several times not to put an engilsh muffin on my plate and ordered a side of fruit. To my surprise, my breakfast came with an English muffin and the side of fruit never arrived.... the waiter however did not forget to charge us for the fruit. Another Broken Egg needs to hire wait staff that is more skilled for a fast paced environment or give the servers fewer tables. We will not be repeating this experience.
(2)Gen G.
I am writing this review because I recently visited another broken egg on Harrison in New Orleans. I ordered the crab stack and it was impeccable. The andouille in the butter champagne sauce and the garlic bread plus the crab cake and grit cake were beyond my liking. It was amazing! Next time I go to a broken egg cafe anywhere else I will ask for extra sauce though. Elizabeth's service was perfection. Refills on time, explained the meals she enjoyed very well which led me to choose one of her fav's the crab stack. It was an excellent choice. She was prompt friendly smiled a lot and I received splendid service from her waiting on me. Thank you another broken egg for your services. The owner should be proud.
(5)Richard B.
The food was really good. The service was terrible. I would have tipped the chefs if I could. We had a long wait for Sunday brunch but we were seated sooner than the 45 minutes we were told it would take. The only time we saw our waiter was when he took our order (since we had been waiting, we looked at the menu) and gave us the bill. The guy that brought our food didn't bring me the main dish of my meal. I don't think he would have if the kitchen manager had not been walking by and said something to him. My girlfriend did not get half of her order and had to ask another waitress for it. We had to ask for silverware. Both meals were good, but I felt so slighted by the service, for the first time in my life, I did not leave a tip. We have eaten there a few other times, some good, some like this time. It's been the same manager, so he really doesn't seem to hire the best people or seem motivated to run a great restaurant. After this visit, I don't think we'll be going back there for awhile, which is a shame
(2)Michael B.
I so enjoy going here. Popular place, diners enjoy their convo here, large groups arrive so tables don't turn quickly. Food is excellent however, at least I think so. One of my favorite cozy places.
(5)Carolyn F.
The service sucks. Went today at. 11:30 sat on porch open seating waited for someone to bring menu then waited another 10 mins for server to come take order got our drink order left got those but didn't take our order. We waited another 15 mins then walked out. We did leave money for the drinks. Two other table sat outside and 2 different servers came out to help them and another server was cleaning tables around us and didn't even ask if we had been waited on. It should not be my job to ask for a server to come help take my order. There are way too many restaurant in this city that want my business. I didn't even want to give one start but you have to in order to post a review
(1)Jonny Z.
Food was good. Service was pathetic. When I have to wait 45 minutes for a table, I can only blame myself because I chose to wait. However, if the cause of a long wait is because of the staff then that's a different story. Our waiter was pretty much non-existent. I can not remember the last time that I had such an inattentive waiter. I'm still waiting for a condiment that I requested. Never came. We waited so long for the check that I eventually had to go inside and ask the host to try and find my check. Incidentally, this was not because our waiter had too many tables. We actually waited so long for our food that the place was pretty much cleared out. I also noticed that the manager had to be called to two different tables in our section. Food was good, but not 45 minute wait, bad service good. I may try the location on Magazine St one day, but I don't think I'll waste another Sunday afternoon here.
(3)Niki N.
I am a huge fan of Another broken Egg, The food is impressive and there is outdoor seating and the building is beautiful old NOLA style new. The kids menu is fantastic and they give crayons and a worksheet that both young and old can enjoy. I am a huge Chorizo lover and it is on the menu! So happy to have them!
(5)Michael D.
Worst service ever for a place with those prices. When we were greeted our server complained she was hungover and she forgot to put our order in. After 30 minutes we asked for for our food and she said it was coming right up ....not. Will not return. Manager was called several times to tables on our visit
(1)R D.
Been to this new location twice so far and both times food was pretty good, served hot with good presentation. Menu is varied and has something for everyone. The problem with this place is the service. The girl that waited on us the second time we went was terrible. Had to be reminded to bring things and just left us feeling overall like she couldn't be bothered. A sign telling people to "seat themselves" would be nice, as employees just look at you when you come in. If you see the other reviews for this place you'll see these types of comments over and over. I'm hoping things get better, as everything else about the place is ok.
(3)Stacey B.
First, I would like to say the servers and staff were absolutely friendly and attentive. However, I was not blown away by the food. I WANTED to be, but I just wasn't. I had the veggie burger, which was pretty bland and the potatoes really seemed like Ora Ida frozen potatoes. I know they just opened, so maybe they are still getting things together. My two dining companions were not impressed either. Perhaps we all ordered the wrong thing. The Brie appetizer looks awesome! Hopefully I can update this review with a better one next time. However, I just don't know if I'd go again... But again, I want to emphasize the staff was very very kind!
(3)Awaionica S.
BEST BRUNCH SPOT I HAVE VISITED IN A WHILE. Service was great and the food was superb! They get all five Stars!
(5)Liz S.
Went to Another Broken Egg this weekend with my family and was thoroughly underwhelmed. The food itself was OK, but the execution was way off. If I didn't know better I would have assumed the restaurant had opened within the past few weeks. When we arrived we were put on a waiting list (no big deal) and were seated about thirty minutes later. Upon seating us, we were told that there were no high chairs available for our toddler. How does that happen? They have 5 total high chairs for the whole restaurant which was literally PACKED with kids. No big deal, though, that alone doesn't kill it. Next up, we ordered two cups of coffee - no big thing for a breakfast place...no mugs. What? Again, how does that happen? You are exclusively a breakfast restaurant. We received our coffees about 15 minutes into the meal. When we set out to order I was surprised that there didn't seem to be a children's menu, so we ordered our entrees and an order of biscuit beignets for our daughter to munch on. Only toward the end of the meal when she was getting restless did our server offer to bring her some crayons, at which point we realized there WAS a kids menu that we just hadn't seen. Also bizarre. When we received the biscuit beignets and started to eat them we realized that we had never been given napkins or silverware, nor did we ever receive any waters (which had been asked for). None of these things alone were a make or break, but the whole thing was just kind of blah. The food was OK, the service was OK, but overall it was just a meh experience. We will probably stick to our regular haunts rather than returning.
(2)Cherri W.
Okay. So I love the food! And the porch! I have been here 4 times. I live three blocks away. The shrimp and grits are THE best I've ever had and I grew up in the South. Why three stars? Well, I have to say that the service is just really lacking. Not the regular service with attitude we are used to in NOLA but just lacking in personality and SLOW. I don't expect perfection. I promise. That expectation has been beat out of me since I've been here (14 years now). It's seriously lacking. If they could fix that then it would be a near perfect place. Oh, and the chairs inside are a bit uncomfortable. Each time was a different server. I'm not sure if they understaff or if they triple seat the poor people but whatever it is it needs to be assessed. Until then I'll be ordering food to go.

Breakfast was good, little pricy for eggs. Service and coffee was eggcellant. I had the Hey Lucy omelette plate and hubs had some potato with various meats and egg creation and he wasn't impressed with his choice so i shared half of mine with him. He said his was really dry. I really enjoyed mine. Felt like i was having a breakfast out west somewheres. The coffees were very strong and so was the bill for breakfast.....about $36 for the two of us. I will go back if in the hood and its not crowded.

Definitely not as good as the northshore location. Cute place but for New Orleans the food was on the same level as ihop or sizzlers. Also the service was poor. My waiter actually burped when he brought the bill to me. I won't be coming back especially since there ate way better places in NOLA.

amazing food! veggie omelette was outstanding. my daughter Loved the blackberry grits!

Service was awful. My wife and I went there for lunch one day. We order a cinnamon roll to start. When it finally came out it was hard as a brick. We sent it back. When our sandwiches came out we had to ask for our sides. I had order a side of grits, which I never got. Our sandwiches tasted okay.

Broken Egg is the best brunch ever. We came to this location on a Saturday. Food was outstanding. Husband got biscuits and gravy, changed the sausage for bacon (oh my the bacon! It's baked and delicious). I got French toast. Yuuuummmmmm. I love it! But I will say, the service leaves a LOT to be desired. I don't know if they were short staffed but it was a Saturday morning. They should be at their max for servers. We sat down fairly quickly (like 20 minutes and the complimentary coffee during the wait is awesome), but there were a lot of open tables with a lot of people waiting. What gives?? Like seriously, seven tables open and no one being seated at them. It was strange. But eventually after about 25 minutes, they did seat people at those tables. So definitely come for the food, expect a wait (an hour is typical), and maybe it'll take some time for the hostesses to learn how to seat. OR you can go to the Magazine street location and get fantastic service!!

Wait was 45 mins but service was great and yummy food. My daughter got the fanciest chocolate milk ever.

Superior servers!! I have to do a shout out to Elena, Rock Star server. Quick service, great food and charming atmosphere. Specifically the biscuits and gravey were yummy. Eggs prepared perfectly, yummy seasoned potatoes, friut was fresh and the mamosas at the next table gave me drink envy.

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!

If the name of your restaurant is "Another Broken Egg," your kitchen staff should actually know how to cook eggs. I'm an egg fiend. Poached, scrambled, fried, chicken eggs, quail eggs, fish eggs. I loves me some eggs! Thus, I've ordered Eggs Benedict here several times &, with one exception, the eggs were beaucoup undercooked. When I order a poached egg, I don't expect to get an egg that is raw everywhere but the outside so that a cascade of gelatinous white goo oozes all over my plate when I hit it with the knife & fork. Runny yolks, cooked whites. That's how a poached egg is supposed to be served. But good luck with that! When you send them back, you get eggs so hard, you could use them as paperweights. Ordering eggs over medium here is no different. The one time I tried that, I ended up telling our server to just forget the eggs after the second attempt. Fortunately, it was in the afternoon & they do have a delicious chicken quesadilla to fall back on. The service here is also extremely hit & miss. We've never had any problems with the hosts or hostesses & the young man who waited on us during the Over Medium Fiasco was as sweet as he could be. But on one breakfast visit, we saw our waitress when she took our order & when she brought the check. Since we never saw her again, we asked a neighboring waitress to help us & she did. So we tipped her at the end of the meal instead of the waitress actually assigned to our table. These problems are a shame because, in a Victorian house, the place is cute as hell, only a 5 minute drive from my home &, as I said, I love eggs. But the frustration of knowing I'll have to repeatedly send my egg dish back until it's cooked properly isn't worth my return.

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 uber 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.

Good concepts poor execution. Had the Chez B omelet. The onions were burnt. The biscuit was good. The side of Mediterranean potatoes we also burnt! The onions in them were also burnt!! Not sure who's coking the food. But there's no quality control. The service isn't bad. But based on the quality of food. Won't return!! Also despite there being many open seats in the front of restaurant. My husband n I were seated in the back in a smaller room. We didn't mind until another black couple came also. I took a walk to the restroom to notice only whites seated in the front and a fair skinned black family. After almost finishing breakfast. We noticed a young Asian couple coming in the area. But quickly leaving. We thought they left. But they were seated in the front. The $33 bill really pissed me off cuz I barely ate the inedible food!!!

Love the ambiance of this place. Outdoor seating on the wrap around porch is totally in place. The good: My espresso was very powerful & did not disappoint. The food was prepared to order & was delivered in a timely fashion; cooked according to my specifications. The crab cakes were flaky & lightly seasoned just right. The eggs were light, fluffy & palette-pleasing. English muffins toasted to perfection. Service with a smile is not on the menu, but is delivered. The not-so-good: With only 8-10 parking spaces in front the door, parking is a rat race. But off-street parking & residential parking are there to save the day. Crowded, but I found the seating to move fairly quickly, so no complaints here. I have passed this place on several occasions, but never made the time to stop in. Glad to have had the suggestion made on this day.
(4)Huong H.
Staffs are friends. Always checking on how we're doing. Owner is friendly and stops by the table. Overall great service! Didn't have to wait so long for our food! City grits is probably my favorite! Thick&creamy! The crab cake was good but the sauce was a bit much. Don't care for the taste to much! French toast was ok probably won't get it again. Just toooo sweet. And strong bourbon sauce.overall not so bad,I don't mind giving it another try.

NOT CLEAN: First time there today and I sat at the bar. The servers were rolling silverware and one kept dropping pieces on floor. I pointed this out and she said. " ok " but kept rolling the dirty utensils. Pretty sure I nor any other customers eat off the floor. Will not go back and will advise my friends to avoid .
(1)Dorothy M.
Loved it. Delicious breakfast. Clean & nicely decorated but with a laid back feel. Wonderful service.
(5)Mike T.
The service is great and the atmosphere is fine. However, the food here can be a hit or a miss & sadly today was a miss. My friend order the Belgian waffle and she made it a combo with scrambled eggs w/bacon. While I had the Sweet Potato pancake and a combo as well. Also, each of our food was around $7-$10. I was disappointed with my dish. It was just one big ole pancake which was 7.99 without the combo. If I would have known that it came with ONE pancake then I would have gotten their speciality brunch. I ate most of it but one part of the pancake was drenched in syrup & so I couldn't eat it anymore. It was too sweet for me.

Came here a few months ago on a busy Sunday morning. Wait time seemed to be long, but myself and boyfriend were happy to know that one of the managers that morning added an extra table to accommodate us two. Major brownie points!! Bf and I ordered screwdrivers which were in my opinion amazing because they were strong and delicious. For our apps, we ordered the biscuit beignets, which were really different from the usual beignets I eat because they had a zest of orange in it!! So good with the honey mamalade. For my entree, I had the Benedict Oscar. Which is cubed steak, topped with poached eggs and delicious garlic sautéed crabmeat and asparagus/bēarnaise sauce. I did think the sauce was a little bit bland, but nonetheless I was still satisfied nonetheless. Our server was a little bit slow so we spent more time here than we wish we could have. I'm sure she was overwhelmed because of how busy they were!! Overall, great place for families to come eat. Menu has many options for everyone.
(4)Raven J.
Yaaaaaaaas. This place slays. There are a couple of tells for a high-quality establishment: the beverage product brand and the weight of the silverware. This place has exceeded in both of those areas. This cafe is a wonderful, quaint place. It literally feels just like grandmas house - and I rather love my grandmas house. The food was DELIGHTFUL. I'm always a little iffy with my eggs so I was quite wary to order the scrambled skillet but I did and it was amazing. God bless. The hot chocolate was so rich and creamy and the fruit parfait was beautiful! The service was flawless. Everyone was so eager to take care of us. And they were so friendly. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I want to cry I'm so happy. So yeah. I have no other choice but to move in.
(5)Dawn B. B.
We got there Sunday morning right before 10 am..We would suggest that. Very busy and understandably...the service was GREAT! We had some specifics for our diets and every one was delivered...with grace. The fare was yummy and it was a joy to sit outside...Our busser even asked if we were finished instead of "done" before picking up our plates...first class..we hear they are under new mgt. Bravo for the xtras in training...we will definetly be back.

About a month ago we went to another broken egg for breakfast. It was good. The host gave us attitude but otherwise it was a fine experience. We especially liked the sweet potato pancake and the Mediterranean breakfast potatoes. So we decided to go back. This time was a completely different experience. We walked in and were not greeted for several minutes. Finally someone came up and brought us to a little back room away from the rest of the diners. They first tried to sit us at a table for two even though with my son, we were three. I asked to move to a bigger table since there were three open bigger tables in the room. They said OK. I asked for a high chair and waited quite some time for them to bring one. Once we finally got settled we realized that there were several (think 8-10) flies in the window next to our table. Our waitress approached and asked us for our drink order I asked for water and coffee. The coffee was forgotten. She came back several minuets later to take our food order...an omelet to split with a side of Mediterranean potatoes and a sweet potato pancake to split (same as last time) she said they could split the omelet for us and give us extra sides for an additional charge. We agreed. As we sat there the flies got worse so we stopped the manager and asked to be moved. We told her about the flies and her response was "i'm working on it!". We settled into our new table and were trying to put the sour start behind us but things got worse as our food came out. First, the omelet tasted like it was cooked in the butter flavoring they have at the movie theaters for popcorn, and the onions in the potatoes were burnt to a crisp. I asked for my coffee, and the waitress brought it, then quickly took it away returning with another cup. When I asked her why she did that she said she think she saw something floating in the first one. GROSS!! I could not choke down my omelet but the pancake was still delicious so I did eat a good portion of that. We saw the manager again and told her about the burnt onions and she said "that's how they are supposed to be, tobacco onions, it's their recipe not mine". Now I grew up in the restaurant business (my parents owned a restaurant) and I know the proper response is, "I'm sorry you didn't like it, can I get you something else or remove it from the bill?" not, "Hey don't blame me!". So we decide to get the check and get the heck out of dodge but again the waitress is nowhere to be found. Finally we stop someone and ask for our check. The waitress drops it off and disappears again. Another 10 minuets go by and we ask someone if we can please pay our bill. The guy says I cant do it but I will find your waitress and give it to her.If it hadn't been 28.00 (for a pancake and an omelet and a cup of coffee!!!!) we would have just left money on the table and left Well needless to say, she did not get a tip. I'm bummed that I wont get another sweet potato pancake but have decided even though they are good it wasn't worth all the trouble. And Surrey's has wonderful pancakes anyways.

Another Broken Egg in Lakeview is just that...another Another Broken Egg. If you're familiar with them, nothing new here. Pretty standard breakfast fare. Maybe a little rough around the edges sometimes (think slightly burned English muffin, spotty service), but reliable overall. Big menu with nice fluffy omelettes & pancakes, crunchy perfect breakfast potatoes, good selection of "healthy" items, and even a decent burger in there. Get here early. It's getting too hot to sit outside, so the dining room was almost full by 8:30 this morning. Everyone has the same idea..

I received a coupon in the mail for a free traditional breakfast here, and after hearing so many people brag about it, I figured why not try it out? From the outside, it looks like a quaint and cutesy breakfast place, very home-y. We walked in where we were greeted by the hostess or should I say stared at like we had 3 heads. Because this was my first time here, I wasn't sure if it was seat yourself or wait to be seated so my sister spoke up and said a table for 2 please because I was still taken aback that the hostess didn't say anything. Already off to a bad start, which kind of ruined the whole meal because now I was paying attention to everything wrong with the place and not what is right about it. The hostess then trudged over to a table to seat us and blandly said how a waitress would be with us shortly. After a few minutes of my sister trying to decide what she wanted, I overheard a woman and her husband ask the hostess if they can please have their waitress. Either they are extremely impatient or they've been waiting a while and judging by the hostess's demeanor, I have a feeling they didn't just get there. The hostess was too busy slowly cleaning a table to go get a waiter at that moment even though you can tell that the parents were not pleased, especially since the kids started to get restless. Finally the waitress came, and she was surprisingly friendly. But again, I still had a bad first impression so I noticed more negative than positive. When she brought us water, she forgot to give us straws. I didn't feel like waiting forever to get one from her so I was going to get up out of my chair instead and get one from the bar. Luckily, she got to me as I was in the motion of standing up so I didn't have to walk across the restaurant. When we were eating, I noticed another older couple complaining to the manager about something. I was trying to eavesdrop to hear what it was about, but they were all the way across the room. When our bill finally came, I noticed we were only charged for a traditional breakfast (which was supposed to be free), fruit, and a cup of coffee, when we ordered the traditional breakfast, 2 cups of coffee, and an omelette, which is the more expensive of the two. When I asked the waitress about it, she said it was the bill for the person who was there before us.....good thing there are honest people in this world. Now onto the positives: The atmosphere is very New Orleans and home-y. You almost feel like you're in an upscale diner or even a bed and breakfast. The porch area looks nice too. The food. DELICIOUS! My sister got the Floridian omelette, and it was SOOOOO GOOD! The traditional breakfast I got was just an English muffin, eggs, and hashbrowns, nothing fancy. If I go back, I wou,ld definitely get an omelette or something. All in all, I will come back again despite the hostess's lack of motivation and poor attitude. I am giving her the benefit of the doubt that she was having a bad day. Like I said, our waitress was super friendly, the kitchen staff member who brought us our food was nice, and so was the manager, who came around and asked how we were doing. I just hope the poor service isn't a reoccurring problem, which seems like it based upon other reviews. I thought the prices were kinda high for a breakfast place so I expect better service. Hopefully if it is a problem, they fix it because the food, location, atmosphere, and some of their workers, are all there. It was just that one girl who gave me such a negative impression of the place.

HALLELUJAH! This place! YUM! My boyfriend had been here a few times and I had never, so one lazy morning lying in bed we decided to grab brunch because it was a rare beautiful late winter day. My only gripes are that is was one of those "lets maximize on space and place tables EVERYWHERE" type restaurants. Still, it was comfortable enough for my boyfriend and I to dine in. The Hosts are also blonde dumb about wait times which I don't necessarily blame on them. They quote you 15-20 minutes and its accurate but you wait longer and its because the patrons are in the lakeview area and linger at their table well after finishing meals. We sat next to a group who were eating when we arrived and when we finally sat 30 minutes later they were chit chatting about EVERYTHING up until we were served food which took another 20 minutes. The server was a bit frustrated but super nice in not rushing them so I guess that's some thing to consider. People think late breakfast means take in the ambiance. Still, the Hosts need to give more accurate wait times. I ordered the Cinnamon French Toast with fresh fruit. PEOPLE LET ME TELL YOU BOUT' MY BEST FRIEND !! It's an over-sized cinnamon roll sliced into 3 halves horizontal, dipped in french toast batter, pan cooked, and the syrup is a mixture of cinnamon frosting and syrup. This was the best thing I'd ever had in my entire Breakfast life! My BF insisted that I order it and I damn near proposed to him after eating it. It was SO FREAKING GOOD. He had the full breakfast platter and I wound up eating off his plate. I was willing to go to war over his eggs and pancakes. This place is at the top of NOLA's best Breakfast/ Brunch places. Def try out this location and the one on magazine.
(5)Anastasia A.
This place isn't half bad. I really enjoyed the atmosphere they have been packed both times I went but they get you seated fairly quick. Stay clear of the Mediterranean potatoes the description sounds good but I had to send them back three times. But the manager came to my table to apologize and gave me a complimentary meal ticket for my next visit. The staff are very friendly; their winning dishes would be the cinnamon roll French toast omgx10! And their lobster rolls are VERY tasty!
(5)Shan E.
Most amazing Banana Fosters waffles... Looking for a great brunch spot? Look no more! This place does get a bit crowded but the flow of service has improved tremendously!!! Gina - new manager orchestrates the entire operations with ease and grace. Even with the morning rush... She still checks every aspect of the service flow - bussing tables ... Filling drinks and greeting everyone. Their team really flows well. The food is amazing ... I'll be back again for sure!
(4)Mandy L.
Great food in a laid back environment. Service was quick and friendly. Manager touched the table and was present on the floor. Definitely coming back!
(5)Faith A.
My only guess to how this Another Broken Egg will survive is because of the location and the fact that Lakeview residents are habitually loyal. The menu is vast and offers the typical breakfast fare. I opted for the eggs benedict and not one element of the dish was above mediocre. Everything from how the eggs were poached, english muffin, ham and hollandaise sauce. Everything was just blah. Not to mention it took an hour for our food to hit our table. Our server was nice and friendly, and did apologize for the food taking a while. I would have loved to give this place 4 or even 5 stars, but the food just does not compare to other places in the city for what they are charging. I won't be hurrying to come back.
(2)Brianne C.
I have been here one time since its opening. The place...its cute but cute doesn't make up for the fact that the hostess was awful! The food was really good too! The coffee not bad! The waitress did a great job! But the hostess looked like she had never interacted with people before. She could have been having an off day but first impressions are everything. The food is also pricey so beware! I spent over 20 bucks for an omelette and coffee. It was a good omelette but breakfast to me is just breakfast. I would have been fine eating a bowl of cereal for 2 bucks. Not saying it is bad or anything. I just think it is overpriced. Basically you are eating there just so you can say you have been to The Broken Egg cafe.
(2)Cristen F.
I highly recommend the shrimp and grits or The Lucy breakfast omelet. The menu is very diverse and has options for anyone, as well as a full bar. When the weather permits, definitely sit outside on the charming porch.
(4)Travis J.
The food was good, but brunch on Mardi Gras day was a bad idea. The government would be more efficient at managing a wait list. Our estimated 30 minute wait turned into an hour and 20 minutes. Apparently they do call ahead seating, so our wait time was extended considerably. Had something else been open nearby, my party of 3 would've gone elsewhere. Bottom line--food was good, but the poor wait list management will deter me from returning. Never again!
(2)Helen L.
It was phenomenal! Both the service and the food. We went there at 7:10 am therefore our food was fresh and delicious! We return after my workout. I loved the Black Bean Benedict!
(5)Jeff C.
My picky son loved it so much it's the only place he wants to go. That in itself would be enough for me, but great service, original cuisine, and 1 of a kind atmosphere put it over the top.
(5)Amy S.
I'm so disappointed with the service and food here. It's so convenient to my work that's its almost impossible not to come here. But I will not anymore. This is the third time my (our) order is wrong and when we tell the manager she has an attitude. Its not our fault the order is wrong its the waitress fault. Once again very disappointed.
(1)Tari T.
We had heard many things about this place so it was time to give it a try... and we were not disappointed. We sat down quickly, were waited on quickly, and had our food come out quickly. Our waitress gave us incredible service, and two other employees checked on us to make sure we were doing alright. The staff were very attentive and we were happy to see that after reading some of the reviews. Our food was excellent. We had the Popeye's Scramble and the Traditional breakfast. Neither one of us can tolerate a greasy meal but took our chances on the breakfast potatoes. Soooo good! Crispy and flavorful without leaving the plate full of grease. Everything we ordered came out just as we special ordered it, tasted better than we expected, and was plated nice and neat. The ambience was very enjoyable. Sometimes restaurants have too much "flair". It feels like they are trying to hard. This place had just the right amount. We will definitely go back.
(4)Jen L.
This place was stupid crowded on a Sunday morning but our group of 6 was told that the wait would be 15 minutes...uh, yeah, we shouldn't have believed them. As we were about to leave 75 minutes later, they finally find a table for our group. hmmmm The porch is great. And our server was awesome. I enjoyed my bananas foster waffle (except that the bananas came out a good 10 minutes after the rest of my waffle) and I snuck potatoes off of one of my companions plate and they were yummy too. I'm really glad we were seated on the porch because the inside was freezing with the a/c cranked pretty high. I get that the servers are running but no need to turn the patrons into icebergs. The menu was varied and our group found something to make each of us happy. But between the delay and the price point (my waffle was $11 dollars with the foster sauce & bananas), I'm not sure how soon I'll be back.
(3)Maia S.
We went around 12:30 and we're seated around 1:45. The wait might have been long because there were a few tables that just sat around and talked before we got there and well after closing. There was also a impromptu baby shower that took up most of the dinning room, and waited to order until close to closing. When we finally got seated our waitress seemed overwhelmed, but we tried to make it easier for her, but that didn't help! We had to ask for straws, napkins, and silverware. We ordered the biscuit beignets and they were amaze balls. We couldn't use the plates for our appetizer, because there were grits stuck to the plates. So after sitting until 2:40 we finally get our food! Yay it looked and smelled amazing! My poor friend starts to toss her salad and what comes up two receipts!!!! Management apologized and replaced her salad with one with no receipts! .... My cinnamon roll French toast was yummy and super sweet I recommend sharing it! All in all the food was amazing, service sucked, and they need to clean the dishes!

I have been here on three separate occasions now. The first time (shortly after they opened) was great, the service and staff was quick. I had the eggs benedict and it was awesome. The second time, the service was slow, but the food was hot and good. I ordered the French Toast and it was great. The third visit, on this last Monday, it was mid-morning, and the host stated that I could pick my own table, as they were not busy. I do not really like that, if I wanted to go somewhere that you picked your own seating, I would go to a cheaper restaurant where I would expect it. It took awhile to get a menu, the waitress was slow. I ordered the corned beef hash, did not want the potatoes, and I was able to substitute an english muffin. The food was scorching hot, nearly burning my mouth. The waitress never came with my ticket to pay, even after waiting almost ten minutes after pushing my plate away and having my wallet out, so I went to the bar. The lady at the bar took my credit card, looked around, then walked outside with my credit card and walked around. It took her some time to run my card, even though I pointed at the table where I was at, and told her what I had. The prices were a bit high, which I was more than ok with on the first visit because that visit was great, but I am regretting coming back after the second visit only being ok.
(2)Courtney W.
My first time going....expect a wait time but the food is pretty good and filling. I got the Southwest Scramble! Good stuff...and they gave me extra since I told them I was pregnant and starving lol
(4)Vanessa D.
Service was awesome; very friendly and knowledgable. Prices are higher than I'd like to pay for breakfast, even considering the specialty items. The food was above average, but not GREAT. I think the prices are high to account for a lovely setting. It is corporate, but this is not obvious because the the "house" and ambiance are charming. There were a couple of items I would like to try if I go back. Not a place I will frequent, but glad I checked it off my list.

After an early Saturday morning graduation ceremony my wife, son and girlfriend decided to celebrate by having brunch at the Broken Egg. The manager/hostess was very friendly and wait time was only 15 minutes for Saturday morning. My son ordered the Eggs Benedict with crab cakes, the Eggs Benedict was fine , but the crab meat had a terrible fishy smell, the manager removed the dish from our bill and offered a replacement dish. I had the basic Eggs Benedict, it was okay, eggs slightly over cooked and the English muffins were soggy. The one thing we did enjoy was the beignet biscuits. Watch out how you part on the side streets, when we left the restaurant we had a nice gift waiting for us on the car windshield, a $20 parking ticket for parking on wrong side of the street. What was so ironic about this was Officer Morris just got a complementary breakfast at the Broken Egg and was the one issuing the parking tickets on Louis XIV street. Protect and Serve.

Our first visit to this new location did not begin well at all. We had a party of 7 and wanted to sit together. For some reason, whomever was running the front, could not seat us for almost two hours. I know we should have left after the first hour, but because of the time of day, it was Sunday and the size of our party, we'd have to wait even if it was the local Ihop. I don't know what the problem was or what was happening in the background, but no one bothered to get a manager's help until we finally requested to speak to him. He apologized profusely and thanked us for sticking it out. He was nice enough to comp our brunch as well. The four in our party had to leave due to a prior engagement, although they should have stayed, hindsight..........The three of us that stayed, enjoyed the eggs benedict, cinnamon roll french toast, beignets and their homemade corned beef hash. Everything was good and since we were starving - we ate it all up. The home fries that came with the benedicts looked perfectly cooked, but without seasoning - not a deal breaker since there's salt, pepper, hot sauces. The corned beef hash had an interesting texture, it was almost like scrapple. I was expecting something more substantial that required the chewing of a discernible meat and potato. This seemed to be pureed together and grilled into a patty. It tasted good, it was just presented in a way that we had never experienced before. The wait time and front of house staff does merit one star or less, but the manager gets four stars for doing his best to rectify a bad experience.
(4)Ane T.
Next time, please ask whether I am done with my meal before dropping off my check. Rude! Slow service. I don't think their kitchen is made to handle a high volume pace. Food was edible, to say the least. Everything came out room temperature and we waited over 30 minutes. I don't mind waiting for good food. However, this was not the case. Atmosphere was uncomfortable. Tables were way too close together. Flies everywhere. Super dirty carpet. Extremely humid inside.
(1)Kimberly C.
The house grits are to die for! I could eat them every day. Great service and really nice to sit on the porch for breakfast.
(5)Emily A.
This place was seriously amazing. We wanted to go to a chill, local breakfast place and this was it. They had the best bloody mary I had in New Orleans at the time. I was craving biscuits and gravy, and again, best biscuits and gravy I had in New Orleans (and I got them more than a few times during my week there...). The atmosphere is cozy, its a family restaurant. They had plenty of tables and the place was pretty open. You get a lot of space. We were told we had to wait 20 twenty minutes and was seated in 10. I can appreciate that.
(5)Allie N.
Just moved to New Orleans (Metairie area) and was looking for a cute breakfast place. I got just that, and more! I ordered the traditional breakfast with scrambled eggs. I was expecting your ordinary eggs, bacon, and potatoes but was pleasantly surprised! The bacon was nice and crisp, not floppy like other places. The eggs were fluffy and the potatoes were nice and done like I like them! I got an iced mocha that my amazing female server suggested and it hit the spot. I would suggest this place to everyone!

We had a great experience here! The space is large, clean, and very comfortable. The decor is very modern and friendly. The menu is large and was a little overwhelming, but everything that we ordered was great! We ordered the classic breakfast, huevos rancheros, the quinoa and granola, and the Chez B omelet. All portions were large and filling. They were cooked perfectly! The service was prompt and friendly. The prices were very fair for the quantity and quality of the food. Breakfast is breakfast for the most part, but a lot of places mess it up pretty frequently. These guys know what's up with breakfast!

Cute Victorian house makes it feel less like a chain restaurant. Luckily, I received a coupon in the mail because it's kinda pricey. I mean for breakfast food. I had a traditional breakfast with an egg, English muffin and potatoes which tasted like fries. Fries are good. The English muffin was a little hard. The cafe' au lait was pretty good too. It was fun to stop in before work, charge my phone, eat a big breakfast and start the day. I'd recommend a visit with a family or small group for breakfast.

We were told the wait would be 20 minutes for two people. 40 minutes later, I went to return the pager and find somewhere else to eat. The hostess said we were next for seating, so we waited...and waited...15 minutes later, we were seated. I was frustrated that we were lied to twice about the wait times. Unfortunately, it gets worse. We waited another 10 minutes after FINALLY getting seated and never met a waitress. We walked out. Wish I could've rated the food, but the service is a zero.

What a disappointment. After my children and I waited for 45 minutes to be seated, our waitress was rude and the food was really, really bad. Like really bad. Mind you I have young kids so it's not like this was difficult stuff, but some how a grilled cheese sandwich and pancakes were gross looking and my scrambled eggs were not cooked all the way. I like this location because it's close to my office but there are too many other places to chose from. Won't be back.

I could wish I can give it zero stars, I honestly do. This is my first time at this establishment. I've been to others and the service was superb but at this place I don't know what's going on. From the time me and my boy sat down, no one approached us. Not even for a drink order. I understand that we came in at a busy time but it was no excuse. The service was that bad that the lovely old ladies next to us stop one of the waiters to notify him that we've been sitting down for a little over 30 minutes. Yes, 30 minutes and I'm not even exaggerating. I did not wanted to say anything to the waiter or staff because I wanted to see what he or the staff was going to do. After a couple minutes the waiter approached us and apologize as he said that the table we were sitting at was originally his table. This is my first time here but I will give it another try at this establishment and see how it goes.

O.M. GAWD! We are so lucky...I just heard that a second Broken Egg is opening on February 10th! Yippy. The building is where The Gingerbread Caffe was. Great outdoor seating too! I'll update my post once I eat there... they open at 7am...so check back Monday at 10am :) On Sundays and Mondays they are only open until 2pm

I've tried Another Broken Egg in Destin, Fl and enjoyed it. I was happy to hear that another decent brunch place was opening up. I searched yelp and was discouraged by the reviews. Surprisingly, my husband bought a groupon, so I figured why not give it a chance. Today's visit was disappointing. First tell tale, my neighboring table food was brought out with a conspicuous burnt English muffin. When our food came out, I was hopeful. The presentation looked decent. With closer inspection, I realized my omelette was greasy. Very greasy. The stuffing of my omelette was also lacking. The bottom on my English muffin was a little darker than I'd like. My husband ate is meal and didn't finish. Which never happens. We both agree there are other places that serves better food. I'll vouch for the service being pretty good. However, it wasn't a busy Sunday. It was steady when we walked in. The waitstaff checked on us and made sure everything was ok. Too bad it doesn't make up for the less than mediocre food.
