Breakfast gets most of the attention at Wild Eggs in Carmel, a chain restaurant with a warm, contemporary dining room and outdoor seating. Near Carmel City Center and the Arts & Design District, it serves breakfast and lunch rather than dinner, with a typical price range of $10 to $20. Diners repeatedly praise the welcoming atmosphere and attentive table service.
The benedict flight and cast iron cinnamon roll give brunch two clear starting points. For a substantial plate, the Mad Platter combines three eggs cooked to order with bacon, sausage, home fries or stone-ground grits, bread and a large buttermilk pancake. Country fried steak takes another hearty route: hand-breaded sirloin under white bacon gravy, accompanied by two fried eggs, home fries and an Everything muffin.
Made-to-order omelets, sandwiches and salads broaden the choices beyond those large breakfast combinations. A dedicated gluten-friendly menu includes pancakes, French toast and omelets; the kitchen is not a certified gluten-free facility, and cross-contact is possible. Coffee and cocktails are also served.
Wild Eggs is at 1438 West Main Street, Carmel. Hours are Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 2 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday, 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. The location offers an online waitlist, takeout and delivery, plus same-day catering for groups of 10 or more.
