Part of Town Square since April of 2019, but a known entity near San Diego for forty years prior, The Broken Yolk Café has captured Las Vegas’ attention by offering “high quality, homemade Food in large portions” to the tune of Southwest and Henderson locations plus the recently opened space at 201 South Las Vegas Boulevard.
An expanding concept with over thirty-nine locations across five states, Sin City’s newest just yards from Fremont Street, it is after securing parking that guests approach a freshly built space capable of seating hundreds, though for a Restaurant so new service is outstanding from the General Manager to servers, bussers and even folks at the hostess stand.
Made (more) famous by an appearance on “Man vs Food” it is from a multi-page menu that guests seeking variety are invited to make choices, a full-bar offered from open to close daily also provided to tempt those who desire more than just Mimosas and Bloody Marys.
Priced competitive to Cracked Egg or Babystacks, and approximately half the cost of other Las Vegas Boulevard Breakfasts, it was with Coldbrew Coffee and Cocktails that things got underway, a Frozen Mangonada well-suited to South-of-the-border specialties while “Cinnamon Toast Cereal Milk” and “Strawberry Gin Fizz” each act as light sippers that compliment The Broken Yolk Café’s Diner fare.
Opting to dine lighter than usual, though a check-average of approximately $20 per guest will leave most over-sated, first bites came from extra-large Biscuits made from scratch with Butter, a gentle yeastiness amidst good rise attesting to quality with or without added Honey while Onion Rings cook up crispy.
Focusing on items marked as “BYC Favorites,” many of these recipes dating back four decades, it was after splitting a warm Blueberry Muffin that attention turned to a spicy Ranchero Skillet with fried Potatoes plus Chorizo and a Chilaquiles Bowl with dueling Sauces cooked into the Chips.
Not about to pass on French Toast and Pancakes, the latter offered solo or stacked in seven varieties including Gluten Free, those unafraid to indulge are highly encouraged to order swirled Cinna-Cakes drizzled with Vanilla Icing, and although “Crunchy French Toast” looks better on the menu than it does as plated the flavor is still excellent – though not quite on the level of Tiki Toast that perfectly suit’s “The Ninth Island” with thick slices of Hawaiian Bread, Berries and Caramel Sauce.
