Eggs Up Grill has officially opened its first restaurant in Louisiana, bringing its signature breakfast and brunch experience to Lake Charles. The new location is owned by local entrepreneurs Norman Carter and T‑Claude Devall, who have designed the space to reflect both warmth and community spirit. The restaurant aims to provide a welcoming environment where neighbors can gather over morning and midday meals while enjoying the hospitality that has become synonymous with the Eggs Up Grill brand.
Carter brings over two decades of experience in the restaurant industry, and Devall’s background in business and community leadership complements the venture. Together, they have created a space that balances comfort, style, and functionality, inviting families and friends to enjoy both classic menu items and inventive offerings. “Lake Charles has an incredible food culture, and we’re proud to introduce something fresh, family-oriented and focused on community,” Carter said, highlighting the vision behind the new location.
The restaurant is currently serving guests daily from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m., and preparations are underway for a grand opening in January. The event will feature special promotions and a ribbon-cutting ceremony to formally welcome the local community. The menu offers a variety of dishes, including omelets, breakfast sandwiches, burgers, and mimosas, designed to appeal to a wide range of tastes while maintaining the brand’s reputation for quality and hospitality.
Ricky Richardson, CEO of Eggs Up Grill, praised the new owners for embodying the brand’s mission and values. “Norman and T‑Claude embody the spirit of community and connection that we strive for across all our locations,” he said. Their dedication to creating a friendly and inviting atmosphere is expected to make the Lake Charles location a popular destination for both residents and visitors.
The opening of Eggs Up Grill in Lake Charles marks an important step for the brand as it continues to expand its presence in new markets. By combining thoughtful design, attentive service, and a menu tailored to local preferences, the restaurant is poised to become a vibrant gathering place and a lasting addition to the community’s dining scene.
