Biscuit and Gravy with Eggs and Potatoes
There is so much energy and excitement here in Owensboro, you can practically hear the buzz and feel the electricity. Our downtown/riverfront area, especially, has so much going on that it can be hard to keep track of it all.
One of the beautiful new hotels on the riverfront, Holiday Inn, has something extra special and you don’t have to be an overnight guest to enjoy it. Another Broken Egg Cafe is located inside the Holiday Inn and, I assure you, it’s extraordinary (I was dying to say eggstraordinary, but resisted the temptation – I guess the fact that I just mentioned it means temptation won out in the end, doesn’t it?)
Members of our family have eaten at Another Broken Egg several times and we haven’t just been “pleased” each time, we’ve been “blown away.”
The first time I went to Another Broken Egg was for brunch, so I ordered a Gluten Free Jumbo Pancake and added a side of bacon. The Pancake was absolutely huge, totally living up to its name. My oldest daughter (Emily) also has to eat gluten free, so she ordered the same thing. For $1.99 extra, she added berries to her huge pancake.
Neither one of us could get over just how delicious the pancake was. Served with delicious whipped butter, it made a delicious meal and as for the bacon… it was seriously some of the best bacon I’ve ever eaten. You can tell when you’re eating excellent quality bacon and this was it.
Jumbo Gluten Free Pancakes
As you can tell from the pictures, the pancakes nearly cover the entire plate – and it was a huge plate, at that. And can I promise you something? My pancake may not win any beauty contests (compared to Em’s decorative version!) but it was out of this world delicious.
Another Broken Egg Cafe has a golden reputation with vegetarians as well as those of us who have to eat gluten free. It’s always refreshing to see a restaurant take everyone’s needs into consideration. Having said that, there is absolutely something for everyone – meat eaters, vegetarians, the gluten free crown, and the gluten gorging crown.
Another Broken Egg is the perfect spot to enjoy breakfast, brunch, lunch, or dinner. There are burgers, salads, omelets, and glorious eggs cooked every way you can imagine. I have it on good authority that the omelets make you want to dance in the aisles.
I also have witnessed family members having other worldly experiences when they eat the potatoes.
A quick word about eating gluten free at Another Broken Egg. As their menu states, while they serve “gluten free friendly items,” their kitchen is not a 100 % Gluten Free facility. Speaking from experience, however, I have not had a single issue and I am HIGHLY sensitive. In fact, so is Emily and we both waltzed away happy as clams without a single issue. Well, other than full stomachs.
Whether you have to follow a restrictive diet or aren’t even sure what one would look like (most of my family falls into this category), you’re going to love everything about Another Broken Egg. Because the food is so incredibly fresh, on Sundays you need to be prepared to wait for possibly up to 30 minutes. This isn’t fast food we’re talking about here. No one’s taking something out of a freezer and nuking it before hustling it out to your table.
One bite into your meal, this is something you’re going to be especially happy about! I’ll take freshly prepared over frozen and thawed any day of the week… even Sunday.
The entire restaurant (like the building it’s in) is just gorgeous. Will some people consider the prices to be a little higher than what they’re used to paying when they eat out? Sure.
You can get a less expensive meal in some restaurants, but you can’t get a better one any restaurant. When you take into consideration that you pay for an experience as much as the food when you eat out, I’d say Another Broken Egg is more than worth it. It’s absolutely beautiful.
Besides, I personally think the prices are reasonable. Click through the menu below and see for yourself. You can also find the Owensboro Another Broken Egg Menu online (just click the link).

Our Most Recent Visit to Owensboro’s Another Broken Egg:
When my husband called Monday afternoon and asked if I’d like to go out for supper, I was pretty excited. When he said he wanted to go to Another Broken Egg, I was over the moon excited.
Oddly enough, as much as we love the restaurant, we’d never eaten supper at Another Broken Egg. It has become the GO TO restaurant for our entire family when it comes to breakfast and brunch – but somehow we just hadn’t joined them for supper yet.
Michael was eager to correct this oversight!
Before I get to the actual review, let me just say that both the outside and the inside of the Holiday Inn on Owensboro’s riverfront is beautiful, in a jaw-dropping sort of way. It is just spectacular. Every large and small detail are absolutely perfect. I also love the friendliness of everyone you come across – whether it’s people at the front desk or the staff in the restaurant.
If I had to point any of my readers to one place in Owensboro for lodging, Holiday Inn would be it.

Another Broken Egg inside Owensboro’s Holiday Inn
Speaking of perfect details, look at the picture above. See the columns in the background and the bottom of the column in the foreground? Gorgeous! The chandeliers, the carpet, candles on the tables… it’s just a beautiful place and one Owensboro can be very proud of.
As you know, for health reasons I have to eat entirely gluten/wheat free, so my options at any restaurant are limited. Fortunately, Another Broken Egg has delicious sausage, bacon, eggs, grits, and even a huge gluten free pancake for me to choose from.
I had eaten their bacon several times before, so I was anxious to sample their sausage. I’d heard from one of my daughters that it was some of the best sausage in the world.
She was right.

Sausage and Eggs (Over Easy)
The eggs were perfect, as well. They were exactly how I like them and soaking up the runny yolk with the delicious, somewhat sweet sausage was quite the experience!
Michael ordered a pancake, gravy and biscuits, and blackberry grits. He said he has never had better pancakes or gravy before. High praise, indeed, from someone who has eaten gravy and biscuits and pancakes his entire life.

Blackberry Grits – As Delicious as They are Beautiful
The Blackberry Grits were absolutely delicious. I’d never have thought of putting blackberries on grits – but it’s Heavenly.
{Review Continued Below…}
City Grits
EVEN better than the Blackberry Grits, however, were the City Grits (Creamy southern grits, roasted garlic, onions & smoked Gouda cheese, topped with baked bacon, tomatoes & green onions). Words are going to fail me, here, but I’ll try to soldier on. One bite in and I knew I was dealing with an instant legend. The flavors were absolutely unreal.
Earlier, in the review above, I mentioned that the food at Another Broken Egg is cooked fresh. I honestly don’t care if I have to wait a little while for my food to be fixed fresh.
Here’s why: When food’s fresh (as opposed to frozen and nuked or cooked in ridiculously huge quantities), you can taste each of the flavors as they are meant to be tasted. The light smokiness of the Gouda cheese, the grits, the bacon, the tomatoes, and onions – each flavor was beautifully and deliciously distinctive.
I have my lovely and extra friendly server to thank for introducing me to the City Grits. She recommended them – and if she had not, I’d never have had the chance to try them myself. This is why it is so important to hire a great staff – they are your restaurant’s ambassadors!
Note: The City Grits are found on the menu under appetizers or “Apps.” They’d be great as an appetizer, of course, but I’d treat it as a side. Or main course. Yeah, they’re that amazing.

Gravy and Biscuits
In fact, another very friendly server happened to start a conversation with us and highly (very highly!) recommended their meatloaf. If I didn’t have to eat gluten free, I’d have ordered some on the spot! She said the tomato based glaze on top of the meatloaf is out of this world.
Just thinking about it made my mouth water. Fortunately, I had amazing food in front of me, so I didn’t have to long for the meatloaf long. I just returned to the City Grits which are just too delicious to describe.
Each dish at Another Broken Egg isn’t just perfectly delicious, it’s presented in such a beautiful way that just heightens the whole experience.

View from a Window Seat
Sitting by a window looking out over the river while enjoying a meal that’s uncommonly delicious (and beautiful) – it’s something I’d highly recommend to anyone. You can’t tell from the picture above, but the rectangular structure is actually an amazing fountain – with water streaming from the top.
Talk about relaxing to watch! I told Michael I needed him to hook me up with one of those for our yard. He just kept eating his biscuits and gravy….
