This place absolutely stinks! I’m really surprise that it’s lasted this long :/I keep trying it just because I think it’s going to get better and because it’s so close to my house but it doesn’t, oh well.

I went to the Good Egg on a Sunday around 1pm, and there was a long wait for brunch/lunch for two people. That takes me by no surprise, however, because the food tasted like it was cooked well. The inside of the restaurant was cute. There is a separate bar-ish area in the middle, with some booths for larger parties on the side. My friend and I sat at the bar, and the service was prompt and the waiters attended us frequently. I know that there were many people in the restaurant, but the waiters attended us enough that we never felt like we were overlooked. So for the service, I give this place five stars. I asked the waiter for some recommendations on the menu, and decided to order the huevo ranchero. It tasted healthy without overbearing flavors or oils that I sometimes find in other restaurants. I also tried some of my friend’s omelets, and those were really good — I also liked the potatoes that came on the side. Overall, despite the wait, I had a very good experience.

Somewhat busy Sunday brunch after 12. Waited over an hour for our food. Food came out all cold. Our waiter didn’t deliver the food and disappeared, too hungry to wait we just ended up eating cold breakfast food. In the end we got 20% off our order for the inconvenience.

My husband and I go to good egg for special occasion for breakfast. We love the food there. We went for a date day after a long time on December 23rd. The resturant closes at 2:30 and we were there at 1pm. Our waitor’s name was Logan. He asked and greeted us and asked us if we were ready to order…1 min after we sat down. We got our food, and after 10 mins, Logan comes again and places the check on the table and says, please make payment when you are done up front. After few minutes he came again and said, I’m just going to take it because I would like to go home. From the beginning to end, we felt like we were rushed and could not enjoy our time! Nevertheless, the food was good as usual, my husband and I were dissaponted with the service.

This is a very clean restaurant! The wait staff is incredibly kind and helpful. I gave it only 3 stars because the name is «The Good Egg.» I took a friend for breakfast. I had very ‘mediocre’ Eggs Benedict. They were almost completely hard. My friend had an omelette. Her omelette bordered on being completely rubbery. The potatoes that came with the meal were excellent, however. This was our first time at this restaurant. If we go again we will try something that is not primarily egg based. Better luck another time.

Had the Cobb Salad off of the new menu. Delicious! Waitress was very attentive and prompt. I’ve never had a bad experience at The Good Egg.

I decided to come here because of the amazing ratings. However, I thought the food was good, but nothing amazing. The portions were fairly small and the prices were a bit steep for what you get. I think there are better breakfast places in the area.

I went here when a couple of friends on a Saturday morning before my friend’s wedding. It was about 9:30am but not overly busy — we waited about 4 minutes for a table. Our server was friendly, but I ordered Eggs Benedict(my new favorite breakfast entrée) and one of the two eggs was as hard as a hard boiled egg on the inside! I was contemplating telling the server and just asking for a different egg, but she did not come back to our table until after everyone was pretty much done eating — so that answered my question of whether or not I should send the food back(I HATE sending food back).

Our go to breakfast place. It’s not the Armitage but it’s much better than the chain breakfast places. Food is consistent and so is service. Liz is the best and somehow we always get her section without even asking. My sis loves the four peaks French toast and I get the macho nacho without barbacoa. Huge servings. Kids love the pancakes & the little snacks they get while waiting for food to arrive. Oh also love their iced tea! The wait can be pretty long on the weekends but it’s worth it.

Not going back here. I ordered the Tucson Tacos whose description states: «Tucson Taco Fresh romaine hearts, cabbage, carrot, pico de gallo, red bell pepper, black beans, sharp cheddar, avocado, corn tortilla strips, sour cream, cilantro & lime wedges. Served with ancho chili dressing, salsa & choice of flour or corn tortillas7.29» I asked for no dairy, I got no bell pepper, no black beans, no avocado, no cilantro, no pico, no lime wedges, no tortillas. It was a to-go order for my work day so I couldn’t take it back and have them correct it. Additionally, the person that rung my order up was rude. No way am I going back.

Note: I teetered between 2 – 3 stars and chose to go with two. My husband got off work early so we decided to eat a quick meal here, we saw that reviews were either hit or miss and wanted to see where on that scale we landed. Service — It’s not bad, but it’s also not good. We asked to sit on the patio since it was such a nice day but it felt like since we were the only people on the patio they may have forgotten us. We did get our orders in quick but didn’t see our waiter again until he came with our food and again with our check. Food — my husband said his omelet was«fine but had nothing noteworthy» about it. I ordered eggs Benedict and the ham tasted like overly salty packaged sandwich meat. Ick! Potatoes on both our meals were a little underdone. Everything appears super tasty… it just isn’t… The only really GREAT thing about this place is the spectacular view of Pusch mountain from the patio. If only you could enjoy the view and your meal I’d bump the rating up.

The experience I had when ordering my food to go was a 1 star. However, I’ve had some pleasant experiences in the past with The Good Egg so I will average it out. J and I have eaten at The Good Egg many times. We’ve gotten food to go and picked it up as well. The dining experience(service and food) is usually a 4 – 5. Really the only thing I can complain about is it’s a bit pricey but you get enough food to leave full and relatively happy so we keep coming back. The takeout orders have probably been a 3.5−4(Food sometimes doesn’t come the way we order, but overall it’s usually still tasty and it’s convenient so whatever!) but usually J and I pick it up on lazy days when the fridge is a little too bare for a full breakfast, we want to spend our day off relaxing and we both want some traditional breakfast food. This last visit however, made me really reconsider eating there for awhile and exploring other options for breakfast. I mean for crying out loud, it’s standard breakfast fare as well, there’s plenty of places for that kind of thing. There were so many things wrong with the breakfast we ordered to go. J ordered the Grains, Nuts, & Fruits Oatmeal. It’s topped with an assortment of fruits, caramelized pecans, nutmeg, milk, brown sugar. When J opened the container, he mentioned the oatmeal had the consistency of playdoh. The container itself wasn’t large enough with all of the toppings so he opted to move it into a larger bowl to enjoy. There was no enjoyment, the oatmeal came out in chunks. You know how you make sand castles with those little buckets at the beach, where you pat all the sand in and then dump it upside down and hope for the best? That’s kind of what happened here. It also kind of tasted like it too. There was little to no sweetness, The only saving grace? Caramelized Pecans. Those were delicious! Now I tried to make excuses for The Good Egg… TOGO oatmeal might have just been a really poor decision on our part. Maybe it was pre-made, maybe it sat there for just a bit too long. Maybe we took too long to pick it up. But we live 5 minutes away. Orders take 15 – 20 minutes. Even if we were 5 or maybe even 10 minutes later… oatmeal should not turn into kid’s craft projects within the time frame we had. Also, the strawberries that topped the oatmeal were not properly cleaned and prepped. J attempted to doctor up his oatmeal. He had the entire pantry of seasoning’s at his disposal. Half way through eating, he gave up and had a can of soup. I ordered the Traditional Breakfast. My eggs were overcooked but something I could have forgiven. BUT, what I couldn’t forgive? I normally get the potatoes that come with it. They usually come with enough potatoes for me that I give half to J. He absolutely LOVES breakfast potatoes. The portion size was so much smaller than usual. I finished my potatoes thinking, «I used to get so much more than this.» Maybe they’re cutting back on things at The Good Egg. But potatoes are cheap, and filling, and when you charge the prices you do and then decide to cut back, it makes me decide against paying for overpriced slightlybetterthanDenny’s/Ihop breakfast food. I also ordered an iced tea on the side. Honestly, it was my favorite thing about The Good Egg. I loved that I could order in, and at the end of my meal get a TOGO cup and it was a HUGE cup of Iced Tea with a fresh lemon. I loved that it was the same size when I ordered TOGO orders because the size justified to me paying $ 2.50 for a plain, iced black tea. I have all of those ingredients at home and they cost pennies to make. Pennies. When I picked up the tea this time, it was half the size. About the size of a Starbucks’ Grande cup. I even said, «Oh No, The cups are different!» The person at the desk said, «Oh, yea. Sorry!» The problem is when you go from having«Venti» sized cups and then start offering half the size for the same price, you go back to value. The Good Egg, you just aren’t worth it. P. S. Who puts six blackberry jellies in a TOGO bag? Blackberry has to be the worst fruit turned jelly ever. Ugh. It may have just been a bad day in the kitchen. And a lot of times I chalk it up to a bad day, move on and try the food again another day. This just feels like bad decision making for a business. You can’t have inconsistent, crappy portioned and overpriced food. Well, you can. But you won’t have my business.

I live in the area and finally got to dine at The Good Egg! I took part of my Dining Trio(Gary, husband; mom wasn’t with us this time). The converted Blockbuster store is a big space inside; I like the open airy ambiance plus they have some outdoor seating and a small counter area for dining. We were seated in a cozy table next to a front window. Friendly, young server. Nice large menu. I ordered coffee and a little different type of omelette(Caprese) with small whole wheat pancakes; Gary had the Denver omelette. Nice to have the whole wheat option. As it was after 1 pm, the place was half full. Nonetheless, our server was substantially slow in arriving. Once she took the order, my coffee took a long while to arrive also(close to when my food came). That surprised me a bit. I was about to ask for it when she did bring it. The omelettes were OK, not the most memorable. Gary’s ham was less than tasty. My omelette was a creative, tasty combination, but was missing a key ingredient(the Kalamata olives). I didn’t realize it until nearly done. I did then mention the mistake to the server; she was very sorry and brought me a container full of cut-up olives that would’ve gone into the omelette. I’m not sure that was the best resolution for the mistake(but I enjoyed the olives with the last few bites.) The syrup for the pancakes was nicely warm, but a bit watery. The pancakes were slightly flat. I was a bit disappointed in the level of service and food prep, given the food is not at the lower end of pricing. I think the servers(or at least my server) may need a little training on awareness about timing on serving items like coffee. However, I’d love to go again and give it a fair chance. They have a fun, interesting menu and a great location with easy parking and a nice, comfortable atmosphere. I looked around the people were very much enjoying themselves. I believe they are open until around 2:30, so it’s a breakfast/lunch/brunch place.

5 stars for dealing with the Mother’s Day rush extremely well. Of course, we didn’t make reservations anywhere and decided last second to go out for breakfast. There were tons of people waiting outside and we geared up for an hour wait or so, but were surprised to find that we got seated in about 10 minutes. The staff prepared a complementary drink stand outdoors for those waiting to use, which was a nice touch. The place was rammed but our server(I wish I could remember his name) was not flustered, didn’t make is feel rushed, and dealt with our table in a really nice funny way. We had annoying orders like 4 different flavors of coffees, each with a different flavor or creamers and so on… he managed to get everything correct and had a smile and a joke every time he came to the table. I haven’t eaten here since I was very young– but the food was better than I remembered. The eggs Benedict were super nice. They even have options of how you want your poached eggs cooked… wow…and here I was thinking a poached egg was a poached egg. Everyone at the table enjoyed their meal, and the atmosphere inside the restaurant was pretty casual and non-hurried, even though there was a massive line outside. I think that’s hard to do on a day like Mother’s Day, so props to them.

This new location is quite good. This was my first visit to any Good Egg. The staff was friendly and attentive, the menu had a lot of choices.
