Wild Eggs, Louisville, KY

Best breakfast in town

by Carrie Daut | July 20, 2011

If you’re the type of person who’d prefer to eat breakfast at all three meals of the day, then you’ll love the grub served up at Wild Eggs. Not a breakfast fan? Well, one visit to this loveable local chain just might turn you into one.

Since 2007, Wild Eggs has been “crackin’ wild eggs” – and selling them like hotcakes. By 2010, the restaurant had already expanded to three Louisville locations and was voted Best Breakfast in Louisville in the WHAS11 Best of Kentuckiana Contest. In July 2011, it was voted Best Omelette in the city by Louisville Magazine.

(Insider Tip: Following so much success, Wild Eggs is slated to open its first non-Louisville location in Denver, CO in August 2011.)

A look at their menu – omelets, frittatas, scrambles, pancakes, French toast, waffles, crepes, soups, salads, sandwiches and numerous house specials – and it’s no wonder. Portions are big, and flavor is even bigger.

Some of Wild Eggs’ most popular menu items include:

the Surfer Girl Omelet - fresh spinach, wild mushrooms, tomato, cream cheese and onion, topped with diced avocado, pico de gallo, sour cream and fresh alfalfa sprouts
the Breakfast Burrito - flour tortilla stuffed with scrambled eggs, chorizo, cheddar jack cheese, poblano pepper and onion, topped with queso fundido, sour cream, pico de gallo, avocado and green onion. Skillet potatoes and black beans.
and Kalamity Katie’s Border Benedict - green chili cheddar corn cakes topped with chorizo, two poached eggs and queso fundido, pico de gallo, sour cream, green onions and avocado. Skillet potatoes and an everything muffin.

And this Insider’s Favorite? The Fried Bologna & Egg sandwich. Italian mortadella, fontina cheese, grilled tomato and pesto aioli on toasted whole grain ciabatta, topped with an over easy egg. Side of skillet potatoes.

For drinks, Wild Eggs offers fresh squeezed orange juice, house blend coffee and a cocktail menu. Mimosa? Bloody Mary, anyone?

And with any meal, add one of their famous homemade Everything Muffins. Baked with roasted garlic, onion, poppy seeds, sesame seeds and kosher salt, locals are obsessed with them. Literally, obsessed
