| - The wifey and I love getting breakfast on Sunday morning. I don't know, something about it seems envigorating, like getting ready for the next week.
We in Las Vegas have no shortage of breakfast places to indulge at to carry on our day. The Cracked Egg is located right off of Ann Road, right across the street from the nearby Yogurtland and Walgreens. Real close to the Centennial area.
The Cracked Egg has been voted best of Las Vegas on three different years. So yes, especially on a weekend the restaurant is bustling with patrons needing their morning cup of joe. The kitchen is hopping, and the smell of bacon and eggs can be quite intoxicating to the senses.
The menu at The Cracked Egg is quite diverse, covering a whole realm of breakfast and lunch staples. Lots of egg dishes (yeah you bodybuiding protein lovers), and lots of fresh ingredients. You have scrambled egg dishes like the 'North Shore Scramble' which comes with bacon, tomatoes, onions, jack & cheddar cheese, and sour cream. You have your Eggs Benedict plates, a common staple in most breakfast eateries. There's breakfast choices like French Toast and pancakes on the ready. You have your skillets like 'The Chili Skillet' which comes with chili, onions, and cheese. Seems their big seller is omelettes which they call 'Fluffy & Folded', they crank a lot of these out of the kitchen. That day we tried 'The Greek' which came with spinach, tomatoes, and feta cheese. Most dishes come with either seasoned potatoes or hash browns (which I love well done), and your choice of toast or coffee cake.
In summary, the food is OK. I mean the omelette was good, the hash browns were good, and the coffee cake was pretty darn tasty. But I dunno, I just don't see paying around $9 for this. In fact, a lot of the dishes just seemed a tad overpriced. Call it the economy, call it inflation, it just seems damn expensive! Maybe it's because I can see myself at home making a similar dish without much fuss. I do like how the food looks mostly fresh, and appreciate the cooks since making an egg right is one of the hardest things to do.
The service was great, our waiter kept our coffee cups full and our water glasses topped off. Even on this busy day, which in itself is a feat. Nice guy, lots of energy, and good with holding multiple plates of food. A necessary skill!
The Cracked Egg is also open for lunch, and that menu looked pretty good. There's sandwiches like 'The Club' with turkey, ham, bacon, swiss, avocado, mayo, lettuce, and tomato on wheat. Or salads like 'The Cobb' with chicken, bacon, ham, cheese, bleu cheese, avocado, hard boiled egg, tomatoes, and croutons. I love me a club sandwich so this I may have to try if I ever go back. They also have burgers too. Same thing though, almost $10 for a lunch item is a bit high in my book for what you are getting.
They also have a new gluten free menu for those of you with this sensitivity. That alone takes a lot of breakfast places out of the running, and having an entire menu for folks with gluten sensitivity probably helps ramp up business a bit.
I like The Cracked Egg but it's not one of the places I think of first when I want a hearty breakfast at a tiny price. This place borders more on the gourmet side. I'm happy as a clam with two scoops of hot rice, two eggs over easy, and two slices of SPAM! So what do I know??
