| - The Good Egg should really change its name to the "Mediocre Egg." The menu looks so good and promising, but then your plate arrives and it is just "meh." I don't know why I keep going back here (wait, yes I do, it is really close to my house...duh!) when I am disappointed every single time.
The restaurant has been there forever, and it shows in the tired decor. I think the egg pictures are quite funny, but the rest of the restaurant is straight out of 1988 and could use some refreshing.
Today I ordered one of the X-ceptional Skillets. The skillet had potatoes, onions, bell peppers and ham (I said no to the fungus) and was supposed to have melted cheese over the top and my choice of eggs. The skillet came out, and it just looked sad!! The chunks of green pepper and onion were clearly just thrown in the pan with cooked potatoes, as they were barely warm and not cooked at all. Raw onions with breakfast? Not the way I want to start the day! My biggest complaint, is the lack of cheese. Normally, when you order a skillet meal, it is blanketed in cheese (which is the best part in my opinion)....I had to go on a search and rescue mission just to find the cheese in this dish! I think they had used a whole tablespoon of cheese that they plopped in the very middle and covered up with the scrambled eggs. Seriously? What a joke, I think a lactose intolerant person could have eaten this dish and had no reaction! So I sat there and at raw onions with no cheese and eggs with a weird texture that were five degrees away from being cold, not the breakfast of champions I had imagined. The best part of the meal was the sourdough toast, it was thick and chewy and perfectly toasted, and they actually put the butter on it for me! No trying to spread cold butter on hot toast!
In past experiences I have ordered the Sun Devil Scramble and it always seems to be really watery....how does that happen?
In a nutshell (or should I say eggshell)....The Good Egg isn't all that it is cracked up to be!
(I apologize for so many egg references....I just couldn't help myself!)
