| - I almost give this place 3 stars, but as far as my experience goes, it's not there yet, and I would honestly rather have IHOP or Denny's. Saturday morning at 9:30ish seems to be prime time for breakfast, and Over Easy proved that with the gaggle of people hanging out outside. Since I was starving we quickly found another place via Yelp Mobile, and we ended up here.
The patio is cute with tons of shade provided by the greenery. The inside however is awfully tacky and very poorly put together. I was embarrassed for the owners just looking at it. We were told to sit anywhere and we found ourselves at a little two top against the wall. Service was prompt and we were quickly given our GIANT cups of soda, always a plus for me. I ordered a dish that had hash browns, 3 eggs any way, bacon, and I subbed biscuits and gravy for the bread. The amount of food on my plate was massive. The hash browns took up a whole third of the plate real estate, but that was unfortunate as they were rather tasteless. They were lacking in the salt/grease/butter department. Next up, my eggs were overcooked in the yolk part but somehow not cooked enough in the whites. It was weird, but still edible and not the way I like them. The bacon... well there was a lot of it. I thought that was a wonderful thing until I bit into overly fatty bacon that was cooked for way too long. It was just really salty and crunchy. For the first time ever, I did not eat all of the bacon in front of me. The biscuits and gravy was by far the worst part of my meal. The biscuits were very hard, dry, and flavorless. It was as if they had been sitting out for at least a few days. The gravy was pretty bad. It was completely over-peppered and was super thick and congealed. It wobbled instead of dripped. Kind of gross. When I smothered it on top of the hash browns it was a little bit better.
The husband enjoyed his dish much more than I did mine. Maybe we will go back some time, but I know what to avoid and how to specify my bacon to be cooked. For now, it's just a meh.
