| - Look, I realize reading is fundamental but if you're going to do something as blasphemous as only using whole wheat in your pancakes (and aren't an obviously "health conscious" restaurant), you should probably put that in every instance of a menu item with that thing. Well, US Egg does mention their pancakes are wheat in nearly every item except the Jr. Pancakes which is exactly what my partner ordered on his quest to find a decently made pancake in the NW valley. Womp womp. At least the manager graciously removed it from our bill.
However, I ordered the veggie skillet without eggs or cheese and with a tortilla (seemed like the easiest vegan option). It was edible, I can say that much. Full size spinach leaves (read: large piles of squishy greens), diced tomato, a few mushrooms, and a few flecks each of green peppers and onion. The real kicker was the massive pile of undercooked hashbrowns. I struggled to find any crispy bits to provide the bulk of my diy burrito. Nothing was seasoned at all - I don't believe salt nor pepper was to be found on my skillet that day. The manager agreed the hashbrowns were sad and did offer a replacement side of crispy browns but I declined, having already smashed down my burrito of sadness. No recompense was provided for the large portion of my dish being undercooked and inedible (mind you this was $12 for basically a hot salad - I don't expect places to charge me less for customizing my food to fit my diet by removing a majority of the dish but this was an extreme situation of suckiness)
I also ordered a spicy Bloody Mary which was garnished with 2 green olives, a 4 slices of not-spicy-in-the-slightest fresh jalapeƱo, and a giant pickle spear. Oh, and a bottle of Cholula (blessedly still on the table so I didn't have to resign myself to using tabasco on my burrito). Drink was a touch watery, not very flavorful, but not the worst.
Overall, I don't think I'll be returning to US Egg. Everything was lackluster and bland, if even edible.
