From Brunch to Dinner, They’ve Got You Covered
Where Brunch Dreams Come True
Charlotte’s food scene is no joke, and if you’ve been sleeping on Eggspectation Charlotte, consider this your wake-up call. Nestled in Ballantyne Village, this restaurant isn’t just flipping eggs—it’s flipping expectations. With a menu that caters to early risers, late-night diners, and everyone in between, this Montreal-born gem is serving up serious flavor in the Queen City.
Eggspectation Delivers on All Fronts
Eggspectation Charlotte boasts an all-day breakfast menu that could tempt even the staunchest night owl into becoming a morning person. Take the Uneggspected—a 10-ounce Angus beef New York strip steak with free-range eggs and crispy Lyonnaise-style potatoes. It’s indulgent, it’s hearty, and it’s exactly the kind of meal that sticks with you (in the best way).
But why stop there? The Eggspectation Burger turns the classic burger up a notch, layering a seven-ounce Angus beef patty with chipotle aioli, cheddar, applewood-smoked bacon, and a sunny-side-up egg on a buttery brioche bun. And for those with a sweet tooth, the S’mores French Toast—thick-cut brioche drenched in marshmallow spread and chocolate drizzle—is a sugar rush worth every bite.

And speaking of occasions, the space itself is as inviting as the menu. The modern yet cozy decor makes it an ideal spot for a casual brunch with friends, a family gathering, or even a business dinner. Looking to host a larger event? Eggspectation’s private event space has you covered.
