Another Broken Egg Cafe offers Tuscaloosa Riverwalk healthy, gourmet breakfast food

One of the newest additions to Tuscaloosa’s Riverwalk is Another Broken Egg Café, and this restaurant is anything but ordinary. Another Broken Egg Café is now the best place to get breakfast in Tuscaloosa – the perfect and cozy location to come sit in on a cold morning and look out over the Black Warrior River, while enjoying a hot, nutritious meal.

The café is located in the new Riverwalk retail-condominiums on Jack Warner Parkway and is open from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. each day. Working under the motto “Inspiring Eggs to Excellence,” Another Broken Egg specializes in breakfast and brunch and is known for its delicious omelets and signature eggs Benedict.

The café’s menu offers a variety of options for breakfast lovers of all kind, and that is what I found most appealing about the restaurant. When several friends and I visited Another Broken Egg Café last week, the service was friendly and the energy throughout the restaurant was pleasant. It was especially delightfully to sip my hot coffee out of their custom made stoneware mugs, a signature piece of the restaurant.

Another Broken Egg Café was founded by Ron Green around 15 years ago in Mandeville, La. After working a corporate job for the majority of his life, Green decided to open the café as a quant, friendly place for friends and families to gather and share delicious breakfasts.

Since its quiet opening in 1994, the café has grown to have restaurants all over the Southeast. Southern Living Magazine named the restaurant’s location in Birmingham, Ala., as one of the “Five Best Breakfast Restaurants in Alabama”in 2010, and Baton Rouge, La., voted their Another Broken Egg Café as “Best New Restaurant” last year.

The gigantic menu at Tuscaloosa’s Another Broken Egg Café includes a section titled “The Yolk” that features French toast, Belgian waffles, pancakes and cinnamon rolls for those with a sweet tooth. There are eight “Egg-Straordinary Omelets” to choose from in the omelets section of the menu, my favorite being the Fontainebleau with ham, green bell peppers, onions and Cheddar Jack cheese.

For all of you spring break 2013 dieters, there is no need to fear: Another Broken Egg offers a healthy section of the menu with options, such as, a seasonal fruit plate or salmon. If you are looking to eat on the heartier side, venture to the “Specialty Brunches” section of the menu that features larger meals like Shrimp’n’Grits and Huevos Rancheros. Another Broken Egg Café also offers sandwiches and salads for lunch.
