“Breakfast at EGGcellent & Things Cafe

First things first, a quick shoutout to our awesome server, Emma, who made our breakfast experience smooth and enjoyable. She was attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed. Thanks, Emma!

Now, onto the food!

I ordered the corned beef hash with sourdough toast and avocado on the side—and WOW, this dish delivered! The chopped potatoes were perfectly balanced with tender corned beef, and the toast was crispy on one side and warm and buttery on the other -- just right! Oh, and the hollandaise sauce? Amazing. Smooth, rich, and flavorful, with just the right little kick—it elevated every bite!

My wife went for the steak and eggs (poached, of course), and it was cooked to perfection. The steak was tender and flavorful, and her poached eggs were exactly what you'd hope for—delicate whites with velvety yolks. She loved the hollandaise sauce just as much as I did, adding it to just about everything on her plate.

Our younger son was all about those Mickey Mouse pancakes with whipped cream, fresh fruit, scrambled eggs, and sausage links. The pancake was fluffy and golden, and the whipped cream made it a total kid-pleaser. He gave it two sticky thumbs up!

Meanwhile, our older son went straight for the chicken and waffles. The waffle was light and airy, the fried chicken was crispy and flavorful, and together, they hit that perfect sweet-and-savory combo. He cleaned his plate in record time—always a good sign!

Our son's friend kept it classic with a chocolate chip waffle, scrambled eggs, and bacon. That waffle? Loaded with melty chocolate chips and just the right amount of sweetness. Add the crispy bacon and fluffy eggs, and you've got yourself a solid breakfast winner.

And did I mention the portions? Generous across the board!

All in all, EGGcellent & Things Cafe really lived up to its name. Cozy vibes, fantastic food, and stellar service. We’ll definitely be back—and next time, we might just order extra hollandaise!

“My family was in Tulsa Christmas eve weekend. We came to see the Rhema Christmas lights on Friday and the gathering place park on Saturday (both amazing!). On our way out of town we needed to eat lunch before we drove back the KC, MO. I just did a Google search best restaurants near us. We enjoy finding places we have never been before and hopefully non chains while on road trips. Upon searching through a few the high amount of reviews along with the high amount of positive reviews took me to search the website. I was instantly intrigued by the menu and fresh cut fries always catches my eye! So we decided to go to the brook! We were NOT disappointed at all! First cute neighborhood lots of neat shops etc and the building looked cool. The workers were very nice and although busy were attentive. We started with queso and chips and after eating almost all of the queso were offered a 2nd cup for free! I ordered the ground beef taco wrap with fries, my husband got a SW chicken wrap with mashed potatoes and my son got Mac n cheese. No one was disappointed. The fries, mashed pot and Mc n cheese were all frsh and definitely homeade. my taco burrito was delicious and very big..enough for a 2nd meal the next day. My husband's was the same! My son loved his Mac! I would give this place 10 stars if I could!“

“Dietary restrictions: I’m allergic to dairy and the chef and crew were so kind and considerate about making my food without any diary when I asked for no butter on my sandwich bread. The chef even double checked the ingredients in the bread to make sure there was no milk without me even having to ask first. I truly appreciated the kindness and ingredient knowledge the staff had for my restrictions.“

“This review is for Society Burger 101st and Mingo in Tulsa.

First, I'd like to thank everybody who has viewed my reviews, as of today I'm up to 9.7 million views.

This is my first venture to Society Burger and I will definitely be going back! From the moment you walk in the door you're greeted with a warm welcome. The environment and atmosphere were wonderful and the facility very clean. I often judge a restaurant on the cleanliness of its restrooms and I must say these were perfect.

I had the classic hamburger which was cooked to absolute perfection. I would venture to say it was probably one of the best hamburgers I've had. The onion rings were spot on, very fresh and also cooked to perfection.

My date had a Salad Number 4, which was exceptionally fresh and plentiful.

Although there was plenty of seating available, we had our meal at the bar. I had the Orange Crush which had Deep Eddy Orange, Cointreau, orange juice and Sprite; it was absolutely refreshing, so much so I had a second.  My date's cocktail was a cherry vanilla Dr. Pepper which has Stoli Vanilla, real black cherry and Dr. Pepper.  She thoroughly enjoyed it and wants to replace all her Dr. Peppers with this one!

To top it off we had the Fruity Pebble milkshake which was close to heaven. Definitely have to try it.  My date said her diet does not exist anymore but it was so worth it.

Now to the staff: our bartender was Cade who is kind, friendly and very attentive to our needs, she's top notch.  The manager was Hutch who stopped by to check on us multiple times. I saw him do the same to other tables, and like he did with us he made several meal suggestions, two of which we took him up on and I'm glad we did. Hutch absolutely knows his business.  He's very personable and you can tell he absolutely loves what he does.

The food and the outstanding personalities of the staff joined together to make it a perfect outing.

I base my tip on several things, the attentiveness of the staff, the quality and quantity of food, and the facility cleanliness. I was impressed with all three and therefore left a 25% tip. It was well worth it.“

“Food is always great, service is impeccable, especially if Brandi, Lana, or the owners daughter waits on ya. Saturday's brunch is plentiful and great tasting as well. Been going to this restaurant for years and will continue to do so.“
