No, it's not correct. Try "If you have not yet had your breakfast, please come to me and have some".

No, it's not correct. Try "If you have not yet had your breakfast, please come to me and have some".

THANK YOU for answering my question.
I didn't finish my sentence, it should be
"If you have not yet had your breakfast, please come to the hallway where we've prepared some hamburgers to satisfy your appetite."
Would be really appreciate it if you are willing to solve my question...see if the sentence is correct or appropriate to use in a serious company meeting.

Thanks and Best Regards.:-D

Hamburgers for breakfast seems odd. Do you mean "lunch"?

The sentence is grammatically correct. I would end it after "hamburgers" as "to satisfy your appetite" sounds odd.

Hamburgers are not normally offered as breakfast food, so I also wonder if you mean "lunch".

THANK YOＵ for the answer!!:-D
And "yes"...we are really going to provide hamburgers as breakfast...but the size of it is much more smaller..ha!

"If you haven't had breakfast yet, come and get some."

"Come to me" is quite unnatural in this case. "Come to me if you need some advice" is normal.
"If you have not yet had your breakfast" is an over-burdened way of saying what you want.

Small hamburgers? White Castle burgers, maybe?

Aka "Sliders".

Edward, please note that a better title would have been If you not yet have your breakfast...
