Another Broken Egg Cafe — Restaurant in McAllen

TLDR is: Food was good, but christ was it expensive, and didn't feel like something we personally could see ourselves justifying coming back for. Went with my mom after work, waitress was very nice and checked in on us often! Food was very good, no complaints on the quality. But, MAN! Between me and my mom, the bill was damn near $60! For two drinks and two plates- not even any appetizers! Had the portions been large it'd be fine, but they weren't all that big. It was two biscuit halves with each having toppings and a poached egg on top, and a side. It was... kind of filling for me? But I'm also pretty small and very much not a big eater; I can't imagine your average person would feel satiated by just the one plate. You probably won't walk out feeling like you've had a filling meal unless you spend over $30 a person. I've BEEN to real expensive places, I'm not unfamiliar with a bill for two that hits high double or even triple digits, yea? But, although it was nice, it didn't feel "$60 for two plates and two drinks" nice. It was pretty good, but I don't find myself clamoring to go pay $17 for another plate. Similarly nice or nicer sit in restaurants for the same price we paid, you'd get two drinks, one or two appetizers, and two big plates of food; You'd walk out having eaten something just as delicious AND feeling fulfilled, you get me? And, hey, if that's the price they have to put it at for one reason or another, that's fine and fair! I can totally see why someone might feel the price would be justifiable for themselves. It wasn't so outrageous that I'd want to complain about the price in person or something, or sit here and say the food actually sucked (it really was good!) but it left enough of an impression that I've been thinking about it, I felt the need to write about it. We walked out concluding that, although we enjoyed the food, we would not be coming back because the price just didn't feel justifiable. If you really like brunch, and you make good money to where you aren't gonna blink at semi-regularly spending $60 on a good-but-not-mindblowing brunch for two, then it's probably a good place for you. But if you're, like, not making much money, and $60 is the upper limit of what you can spend on a nice date taking your SO out, this is NOT the place. It's like Five Guys is what I'm trying to get...

📍 Brunch Perfection at Another Broken Egg Café! 🍳☕🍓 If you're a brunch lover, this spot delivers big flavor and Southern comfort in every bite! I tried two standout dishes:

🥚 Eggs Benedict with a rich hollandaise drizzle, crispy bacon, and fresh tomato stacked on toasted English muffins. Served with golden breakfast potatoes and piping hot coffee in their signature purple mug—classic and comforting!

🍗 Country Fried Biscuit Benedict—tender fried chicken on flaky biscuits, smothered in creamy sausage gravy and topped with vibrant peppers. Balanced with a refreshing bowl of seasonal fruit.

Everything tasted freshly made and beautifully plated. The atmosphere is warm, the service is friendly, and the coffee is just right. Highly recommended for weekend brunch or even a weekday treat.

👀💬 Service with a Side of Hide-and-Seek? 🍽️

Again, i Loved the food at Another Broken Egg Café—the Eggs Benedict was spot-on, and the country-fried biscuit? A dream! ☕🍳🍗

Now, as for the service... our assigned server was actually wonderful—friendly, attentive when she was around, and clearly juggling a lot of tables. We appreciated her!

That said, we did notice a group of other staff members engaging in what appeared to be an intense brunch edition of “The View” around the corner. 😂 Lots of chitchat, lots of avoiding eye contact—almost like we had become invisible superheroes waiting for coffee refills. 🫣

Totally get that teamwork makes the dream work, but maybe next time, one of the ghost servers could swoop in and help when the assigned one’s swamped? Just a thought from the "table that's been waving for 10 minutes."

Still—great vibes, solid food, and we’ll definitely be back (hopefully with our invisibility cloaks

⭐ Rating: 5/5 Would definitely come back again—and again!

I was able to go to the soft opening of another broken egg cafe.

It was thru an email program they had, if you were invited u could make a reservation and instead of paying for your food, you were invited to make a donation to the local boys and girls club. (Thumbs up for community engagement ! )

We arrived, our reservation was at 11:15 and we got there at 11:00. They sat us right away. The tables are really close together. We had a reservation for two so we were sat at a small table.

Our server was really nice and attentive. If we had any questions they were really knowledgeable. I ordered the bourbon street pancakes it comes with eggs and i chose the andouille sausage for protein. My brother ordered the supreme omelette with a side of fruit and the English muffin.

The supreme omelette was pretty good, I wish my brother had ordered something different, since I feel like the menu has some really different and exciting stuff that isn’t really available anywhere else. Anyways the omelette was good, the English muffin was underwhelming. Nothing out of this world.

The bourbon street pancakes were a little too sweet for my liking, but they were good! If you don’t like stuff too sweet I recommend you ask for the bourbon sauce on the side so you can control the amount. But I would recommend them if you have a sweet tooth.

The star of the show without a doubt was the andouille sausage. Absolutely delicious. It was so smoky and had this great Cajun flavor. Huge recommend. I would come back just for that.

Overall it was a good experience. The food did take a bit of time, but it is definitely expected for a restaurants first run. I would definitely come back and...
