The Toasted Yolk Cafe — Restaurant in Houston

Sweet Lord. This was probably one of the worst experiences I've ever had at a restaurant. My party & I arrived at 10:50am but we had already checked in online. One of the hostesses told us 15-20 minutes which was fine. We ended up having to add someone to our party but the other hostess said it was no issue & we were not going to be moved in the queue & even showed us on the iPad.

So 20 minutes went by, then 30, then 40, & at 45 minutes a 6 top that came in over 30 minutes after us was seated first. When we went inside to ask what in the world was happening the hostesses were pointing the finger at each other. They accidentally gave our table away & when I was explaining to the group the snotty high school hostess said "No! They just accidentally got seated before you all." Um, that's giving the table away. She tried to sit our party outside at SEPARATE tables. After another 15 minutes we were seated. We had to basically tell the hostesses that we would need to speak to a manager. The manager while friendly did not offer any type of compensation.

We were well into an hour of waiting for our reservation in the Houston hear that was supposed to be a 15 - 20 minute wait. Incredible. Once we were seated we waited another 5 minutes to be approached & we immediately placed our order. Another 10 minutes for just our drinks in which we had to again ask the manager to check on.

The food was absolutely incredible & our waitress was a sweetheart (overwhelmed) but the experience was absolutely horrendous. What's the point of making reservations if the hostesses don't understand how to manage them? We wanted to get out of there ASAP!

Oh, & the cherry on top was that they do validate parking but it only covers two hours so because of THEIR mistake our entire party had to...

I worked in this establishment from March to the end of June, it was amazing, I loved my job and I loved the people I work with (front staff and back staff) yet I left due to the unnecessary disrespect from Angie, a current employee. I literally fell in love with this job from day 1, I had to move to weekends due to my medical field work during the week. Honestly though I do not know an establishment (mgmt/owner) that would continually allow someone to work for them when they consistently disrespect not just 1 member yet multiple members of the server staff. From weird verbal “threats” against the staff (jokingly or not) to her and I verbally getting into it because she doesn’t know how to show or come at anyone with an ounce of respect. It is a shame that before she even came back to the workplace, multiple staff sat there and warned me of her disrespect since I’m not the 1st employee to go toe to toe with her. The moment she was proven wrong in a stupid situation over a little table, after yelling at me and disrespecting me infront of the ENTIRE kitchen/server staff, and whatever guest heard from outside the door, she did not apologize to me and I had 3 team members come apologize to me FOR HER because and I quote “she won’t do it herself even if she knows she’s wrong”, which is a wild sentence when talking about someone who wants to be treated as an “adult”. This has been brought up multiple times to the higher ups and nothing was done about it, so I quit and informed them I would be willing to come back when Angie is out of the establishment. All I now have to say is she might be a decent server but Bless her heart for how she...

I don’t go out for breakfast very frequently but when I do, I don’t have any problem going to a chain establishment, since so many of them serve fine meals to start your morning. A good example of a worthwhile chain specializing in breakfast is Toasted Yolk Café.

This Toasted Yolk Café is located on Washington street, in Houston’s Heights area. It’s in a brick building and it offers both indoor and outdoor seating with a pet- friendly patio. The interior seating includes a bar, tables, and booths. Beware of the stool- style seating at the bar and some of the tables. There is no back support, and it may not meet your comfort standards.

You’ll find a nice assortment of breakfast options at Toasted Yolk Café. Eggs, pancakes, omelets, biscuits and gravy, and other choices await your selection. I usually go for one of the omelets. They are made with four eggs and include hashbrowns or grits, plus toast. The hashbrowns are actually a casserole and are different from the crispy style that most of us are familiar with. If your appetite leans toward a sandwich, then one of the Arnolds is a good choice. And the power bowls are a good choice if you’re visiting for brunch.

I like the food served at Toasted Yolk Café and I find that one meal is quite filling- so much so, that I either end up taking food home or, if I finish it all, I can skip lunch. Service is friendly and prompt, and I like the location on Washington Street because it’s easy to find and they will validate your parking ticket, making your parking free. It’s a good start to any morning, and a restaurant chain that excels at...
