Toasted Yolk

[Michael 61]

Patronized the new breakfast eatery in Lake Deaton Plaza this morning - The Toasted Yolk.

I think I’ve finally found a proper eggs Benedict here in “the bubble”. Other breakfast places here have disappointed me with my favorite breakfast meal. Some use ham in place of Canadian bacon. One popular place doesn’t properly toast their English muffins, so the hollandaise and egg yolks turn the English muffin in a wet sponge.

Service was attentive and personable. Waitress checked in with me multiple times and kept my coffee cup filled. The ambiance is bright and cheery, a great place to start your morning.

Highly recommend- this may be my new favorite breakfast spot. Will return for sure, and want to try their lunch items.

What sides are offered? Do they serve corned beef hash?

Not sure about hash, they serve an awesome hash brown casserole as a side - far superior to the one at Cracker Barrel. And the coffee is great as well!

Check out their menu online: they're part of a chain of some 30 restaurants, mainly in the south (one in Ohio) so the menus may vary a bit. But from what I saw online, they offer a LOT of choices, and to their credit there is ham, bacon and sausage aplenty. Might have to try them.

We were semi-regulars at The Flying Biscuit; however their insistence on All Things Chicken even in the breakfast menu (they do offer actual pork bacon but I believe it was uncured) as well as their recent health dept. review results, has us shying away from them at least for the present. They did have great biscuits though.

We’ve eaten twice at toasted yolk first time was unremarkable. Second time was better, but they’ve only been open for a few weeks. Michael Have you tried reveille in Magnolia Plaza for eggs Benedict? Not too much lemon and have never had a break in hollandaise.
We go weekly, it is the only place that I have found the egg to be perfectly cooked every time. I asked if they sous vide their eggs, perfectly cooked even with 4 orders at our table.

The egg guy came out, thanked me for such a wonderful compliment and that I knew what a sous vide was. He does all of his poached eggs as ordered. I am very impressed.

Wife went there for the first time last week with her Mah Jong friends. Portions were very large and her breakfast was fine. Service also very good.

Is on the expensive side

[bagboy]

We recently enjoyed breakfast at the Toasted Yolk. Everything from atmosphere, service, and food quality was very good. We'll definitely go back. I'm hoping over time they maintain their food and service standards.

Important...Can I order booze at 7:00 AM? :)

After 7 am as long as the business is licensed to sell alcohol for consumption on the premises, and it must be a restaurant or bar whose sales are at least 51% food. If it’s take-away, it has to be part of a food order.

On their menu it says "it's never too early to get toasted" so...

Not sarcasm, it is the law. Florida law prohibits the sale of alcoholic beverages for on-premise consumption between 12 midnight and 7am, except in those counties that allow exceptions. The Toasted Yolk is located in Sumter County which does not allow exceptions to the state law. Although, the restaurant does need to have a state alcohol license. The only other exception is that, on January 1, alcohol can be served from midnight to 2am.

My stomach has told me years ago not to have alcohol before noon. It told me in ways that I will not go against its wishes

Nice! LOL! I figure I can get "toasted" there and then head over to Hooters :)

[Mikee1]

Well, we went there for breakfast. Here is what we experienced, 1st service was slow, way over 35 minutes from order to food. 2nd the place is noisy, all hard surfaces. No sound absorbing materials used at all in the interior. ie sound absorbing panels, carpeted walls, etc ,etc. Whoever did the interior design should have been aware of noise control. Eggs Benedict were so so, nothing notable. Was surprised, was expecting a better experience, given the reviews.

[Rocksnap]

I’ve know several long term residents here that have lived in the bubble for so long, they are not aware that so many restaurants available are actually chain restaurants. It can happen.

Asian, yes Reveille is very good for eggs as well. I’m there at least once a week, and will continue to patronize the establishment. However as far as sides go, I’m not a huge fan of grits, and I find their fried potatoes bland and unremarkable. The hash brown casserole side at Toasted Yolk is something I am still thinking about and craving.

I eat out breakfast almost every day, and dinner at least 4-5 times per week. It’s nice to have options, so you don’t grow tired of just “one” favorite restaurant.

you got me!!...again, LOL

I think I’ve finally found a proper eggs Benedict here in “the bubble”.

I find it so amusing that people think that the way things were done where they are from is the only proper way to do them.

But, I’m glad you found a place to get a breakfast like you were used to eating back home.

Who would have thought????:pepper2:

[asianthree]

what exactly is in the hash brown casserole?

Depending on where you were raised, in many southern households

Shredded Potatoes
Butter
Milk or cream
Cheddar cheese
Salt pepper

Mix well and bake in the oven until brown.

Some add bacon, onion, peppers, and multitudes of different cheeses. Either way it kind of comes out crusty on top and the bottom with cheesy goodness in the middle.

Eggs, Benedict prepared properly is the same way all over the US. An English muffin lightly toasted, Canadian bacon, a perfectly cooked poached egg, hollandaise sauce, regular paprika, or smoked. Julia Childs recipe is excellent.
Newer recipes on original, have added a multitude of variation with smoked salmon, gravy, crab, lobster, steak, ham and sometimes a biscuit.

[jimdecastro]

I agree. I did a review on the Newell Facebook page. I too have my favorite- an American cheese (only) omelette. Other places I have too customize a complicated mix of ingredients - and pay extra. Here it is not only on the menu but $2 LESS! There are three things to note.
1- there is an online wait list so you can get on the line before you go.
2-it is much larger than Reveille - and much noisier. I bring this up as my son has Autism and noise can be upsetting. It is isn't so loud you can't hear others at the table.
3-several of the tables are bar-stool height so some of us may not be able to sit there. On the wait list mentioned above you can request not to be on those higher chairs.

It can happen to any of us!

I thought this sounded like a great day in The Villages. Then, my wife asked me how far would the walk home be. :22yikes:

I am thinking that when Hooters comes it is a guys only place

[Joe C.]

Another good breakfast place is Denny's on 441. Early bird specials from 6am to 10am ...... 2 eggs, toast, homefries or hashbrowns and corned beef hash is only $7.99

I too liked the restaurant with one exception. They don't have Home fries or Hash browns. If you want potatoes it will have to be potato casserole.

[Micizel]

We tried it out about 2 weeks after they opened. We ate outside but walked through the inside first and we noticed it was pretty noisy in there. Almost reminded me of a cafeteria noise. We really liked the breakfast and will definitely be back. The first thing that I loved was the nice big mug of coffee that we got. That alone will keep us going back.

[firefighter4u]

good food, not cheap though.

Be sure to tell your wife that :)

Wow wife offered to walk hone so you could have quality time at Hooters. Sure sounds like a keeper.

Reveille is lame. Absolutely tasteless bland food.
