Simply put, the Egg and I is packed each morning for one simple reason - quality fresh food. Regardless of your breakfast preference you will find something to tempt your taste buds. The Veggie Benedict is quite good with a hollandaise sauce that rivals more expensive restaurants boasting a top rated brunch. My wife thoroughly enjoyed the corned beef hash... More

So I won't be a total hater, the food is decent. The first time we went there, we actually liked the food and the general "mom's breakfast" vibe. It was OK. Today we [party of 8] went for brunch (on a Sun). Per their advertisement, I called ahead and made a reservation. We waited for LITERALLY 1 hour past our... More

The restaurant is very good. Large food portions for decent price. Think Upgraded IHOP. The waiters were very friendly. I Highly recommend this place! More

Location by North Star Mall: Went to The Egg and I with 7 family members because we love this resturant in other states. Servings are large, staff is friendly, even though we had to give cues to our waiter for ice tea refills, but finding a 4 inch light brown hair stuck inside my coffee cup is nasty, then my... More

Agree with previous reviewer (Better than the Rest). We have had breakfast at least twice a week since this restaurant opened. You won't find a friendlier staff anywhere. They serve delicious, hot coffee in a carafe to each table. They have an outstanding selection of eggs benedict dishes (highly recommend parisienne benedict and the crab cake benedict). Portions are generous,... More

We have been coming here every Saturday for the last 2 years and have never been treated badly, had horrible food, or had to wait more than 10-15 minutes to be seated. They aren't perfect every time but compared to IHOP, Denny's, or Jim's there is no contest. The food is priced very reasonably, the hazelnut coffee is always hot... More
