Walking up to this place, you'd think there was no other place in town for breakfast. We had very high hopes just based on the amount of people waiting to be seated. Unfortunately, our hopes were dashed after eating.
First of all, as far as service is concerned, they rate high. This place was C-ROW-DED! My husband and I and our toddler were seated outside on the patio about 20 minutes after we arrived. Our waitress was friendly and attentive.
As far as the food is concerned? Blah!! I ordered the California Benedict. The English muffin was toasted which was nice, but everything else was bland as can be. I asked the waitress to request my eggs poached "medium". One thing having a kid will do to you is change some food habits. I haven't been able to eat runny eggs since I was pregnant. "Sure" she said with a happy smile. One egg was completely undercooked, the other was completely OVERcooked... no happy medium. The hollandaise must have been from a packet. It had no flavor whatsoever. Same with the potatoes. Bland. Boring. Yuck.
My husband had the chicken friend steak. Like the hollandaise, he was certain the gravy was straight out of a packet.
It's so rare that we get out for breakfast, let alone a benedict or chicken fried steak sort of breakfast. I misjudged the long lines outside and the relatively steep prices. I don't mind paying $25 for breakfast for two if it's worth it. But U.S. Egg was definately not worth it.
