Breadmen's

Tried a carryout breakfast from Breadmen's this morning -- nothing fancy, just eggs over easy with toast and home fries. I also ordered a side of bacon to go with that. The food was fine, but it's pretty hard to screw up bacon and eggs.The service was friendly and during the ten-odd minutes I sat in the place, I saw a relaxed and casual atmosphere with lots of UNC memorabilia on the walls. I had always though of Breadmen's as being a place that specialized in breakfast, but when reviewing the menu I saw that they also have lunch and dinner offerings that look pretty appealing (including a submenu for 'misplaced northerners' like myself). Nothing fancy, but I'm planning to try the place out again for a lunch and/or a dinner sometime soon.

Wow.....My wife saw some good reviews and wanted to give it a try. That was a mistake. If I could go negative 1 on here I would.Showed up yesterday at about 1:30. They were mildly busy. Looked around, the place looked like a needed to be cleaned pretty badly. I was trying to be a good sport and kept my mouth shut.Wife asked for a table for 2, preferably a booth. Never greeted with a hi or a smile - just got an okay and told in an incredibly nasty tone to wait outside. It was very hot and no one was waiting inside or outside!!! Considering the lack of cleanliness inside along with the terrible attitude I finally spoke up and pulled the plug.Spoke with some local friends later in the day that said they stopped going there for a multitude of reasons that included some of what we shared.If you go, I wish you luck. We won't be doing that again.

I'm a long time diner at Breadmans even way back to their two previous locations. The new owners have kept the menu completely the same and the food is prepared exactly as well so you can count on the same excellent flavors and quality. Today I had the corned beef hash breakfast that comes with two eggs any style and choice of toast. I asked that the over easy eggs be put on top of the hash, which is house made btw. I could even taste the juniper in it! Next time I think I'd ask for sunny side up so they don't keep cooking from the heat of the hash as one yolk was almost cooked hard. I also asked for the sunflower toast, which is so good and I think from The Bread Shop in Pittsboro. IYKYK.You can always count on a great meal at Breadmans be it their all day breakfast or anything else on the menu.

We went for lunch and found delicious food and perfect service. The burgers and fries are delicious and the breakfast food is great too as we were able to order breakfast all day. The Olympics was on TV and everyone in the restaurant was kind and polite. Classic Chapel Hill landmark with food better than ever. P.S. Try the scrumptious chocolate cake.

Bear in mind, I've been eating at Breadman's since 1980. I'm a longtime satisfied customer. The service is strong here, cheerful and fast. The food comes out of the kitchen swiftly, even when they're crowded (every weekend, and twice as bad on game days). I can recommend everything on the menu. You'll get diner pricing for better-than-diner food. Breadman's moved from a smaller location on Rosemary St to a larger storefront on Elliott some time ago, but the nicest upgrade is more, more parking.

I love this place. Thankful we live nearby. I had the 1/2 fried chicken w two sides under $11 - baked sweet potato and black eyed peas!! What a deal!! Perfect for a senior citizen budget. My husband got the 1/2 bbq chicken. We usually eat the breakfast but thought we would try one of many blue plate specials. The waiter was courteous and patient as we changed selection a few times. We had a good laugh!! We will be back for many of their different meals - open 7-9!

We had a large group, so understandably, it took a while for our orders to come out. My egg white omelet with mushrooms, tomatoes, and spinach was okay. The eggs were overcooked. Also, the omelet was a bit wet due to the veggies. Usually, diner food can be salty, but not here. The coffee is good. Our server was attentive, and she took good care of us. Overall it was a good breakfast place with affordable prices. I can see why it's a local favorite.

Great service, kept checking on our drinks. Delicious breakfast omelette and biscuits buttered and toasted. Grits very tasty too. Thanks for a great experience!

I used to love Breadmen's, and this was my first visit since they moved to their new location in Elliott. The service was great, and I ordered my old favorite: the vegetable plate with 4 sides.I got a side salad, vegetarian chili, Mac and cheese, and steamed broccoli. Came with a huge piece of cornbread! Everything was delicious and it was just such a comforting and healthy mix of items. It was a TON of food for the price too, what a bargain!My husband got blueberry pancakes and said they hit the spot.We were the only people in on a Saturday night, until a few other parties showed up. They had the Duke/UNC game playing (um, maybe why most people were someplace else watching the game ). I would definitely return if I was in the mood for diner comfort food. They have something for everyone!

Good food and service! First time visitor today, I had an omelette and waffle and my wife had the BLT. Very good. Will come back again!
