About the Business
Broken Yolk was one of the first full-service restaurants to find success in breakfast and lunch--no dinner required. Reclaiming brunch from the special occasion category and making it a meal for every day, they were pioneers in a segment that continues to grow in popularity. Guests with flexible schedules have discovered the joys of daytime dining; trading the ubiquitous egg bites and plastic-wrapped muffins for freshly prepared, quality food and friendly full-service.

Our server Miguel B. Was Awesome! We went with a party of 7 on a crazy busy rainy Saturday and he was the friendliest and calm and got everything our picky group asked for and answered all our questions in such a positive manner. He bade the experience pleasant! He recommended food items which were a hit! I hadn't been here in years and I will for sure be back soon!
Go to the website and get on that waiting list!
Parking was a hot mess but since we were already in the waiting list we weren't stressed. Lots of variety. Ask for Miguel!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

Hi Monica,
We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your breakfast with us! We really appreciate your feedback on your service from Miguel. We can’t wait for you to visit again! - Layla S.Imperial Beach, CA566092Feb 7, 2024
I ordered a Lemon Ricotta pancake, I felt disappointed because I was served with a regular pancakes with a slice of lemon and fine white sugar spread on top of the pancake.
I was under the impression that the pancakes have ricotta, but they didn't have. Didn't taste the ricotta at all.
My granddaughter liked her Kiddie chocolate chip pancake.
And I could tell my son didn't like the waffle he ordered because he had more leftover than what he ate.
Nevertheless, the only thing I liked about when we were here, our Server was very attentive, and very polite. She was always asking us if everything is okay.
I was about to complain about the pancake, but I just let it slide.
I just hope they check the detailed description of the Lemon Ricotta pancake, and make sure it has the flavor of ricotta in it.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Feb 3, 2024Updated review
Visited during the week for lunch and we were able to be seated right away. I noticed right away that they had very, very cute Valentines Decorations all over the restaurant and especially behind the host counter. Nice touch!
Our server was amazing. He was an older gentlemen and he was super attentive. We ordered: Golden State Benedict, Short Stack of Cinna-Cakes, a Western Burger, A Cafe Mocha, and an herbal tea.
The wait was only about 10 minutes for our food. Everything was delicious. The only gripe I have is that there was no side of butter with my Cinnamon-Cakes, so it made them a bit tough to eat. The service was great and we even took a couples selfie at the Valentines Decorated wall.
Great experience, great food, great server.Helpful 6Thanks 0Love this 7Oh no 0Business owner information

Hello Taura! Thanks for sharing your recent experience. We're glad to hear that during these challenging times you were comfortable and our team was attentive while we served your meals. Great pictures too! Thanks for sharing and we hope to see you again soon!
Jul 26, 2020Previous reviewTook a while to be seated because someone stole out seating outside while we were getting our party to the seat. One star off for that, because we waited a total of 36 minutes to be seated finally.
The service was good. Our servers were customer friendly and they were very good about social distancing and serving the items according to COVID-19 Pandemic guidelines.
Some of us in the dining party had the $5 mimosa flights and they were yummy. Please see pics.
Our food came out in a timely manner and was still hot and tasty. We enjoyed ourselves and the attached-to-the-building covered patio seating was ideal and the best option for the restaurant.

The restaurant is clean and the flow of getting sitted was swift! The food came out at a fair time and you could tell it was fresh. The host were very kind and patient especially when taking our order. My son has allergies and trying to decide what would be best is challenging sometimes.
The food was great! My son said the best fries he has had! This place is solidHelpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

Hi Anna,
We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your visit! We really appreciate your review and can’t wait for you to brunch with us again! - Feb 10, 2024
I've been coming to this location for years, and I feel like it's gotten better than it used to be. Never really have to wait that long, if ever anymore and we usually get seated pretty quickly. Food quality I feel has gotten much better and always comes out pretty quickly. We never have to wait for our drinks or coffees to be refilled. I almost gave it 4 stars because the prices have gone up a lot, but Truth be told, I'd come here just to say hello to Fernando, who ends up serving us almost every time we come in. He is absolutely amazing. Very quick, extremely friendly and hospitable, and makes the whole experience very pleasant. He alone makes this a 5 star any day of the week!

I feel the front desk area needs a little more training on greeting clientele. I got on YELP WAITING LIST leaving home. I was checked in by a young man when I arrived and then 5 minutes later was notified I had been taken off the wait list via text. WT Heck! I told a young lady and she immediately sat us. Miguel was our waiter and was delightful and attentive. Wife ordered the Mom Omelet and I ordered the Ranchero Skillet. YES, the Ranchero Skillet is quite spicy but can hunt down the serrano chiles in the mix and take them out. The Mom omelet was very good and healthy. The avocado on dishes were so delicious. The place was quite full and food came out fairly quickly.

We have been coming here since we have lived in Eastlake. It's been 2 1/2 years. Miguel was the best server I've ever had. He was great with accuracy, his personality, prompt. The busser was fantastic too. Prebussed our table and gave coffee refills.
Food is always good, kitchen never disappoints. Very impressed. Thank you for getting our kids food out so quickly.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0Business owner information

I have been here before and have had the sopes Benedict which were delicious but I will say that this time around I tried the caprese benedict and it was amazing. I would say it's my favorite dish now, let's not forget about the hash brown. They were perfectly cooked and still has the slight crunch. Hands down 5/5 I highly recommend this place. Parking is plentiful and the bar was nice to sit for a party of 1. I highly suggest you use the waitlist if you have a bigger party!
