The Good Egg is a breakfast place located in a strip mall, and this is one time where you probably could have guessed the book from its' cover. The Egg serves up a fairly generic, but utilitarian breakfast.
While wandering through North Phoenix and staring at dismay at the long lines at Matt's Big Breakfast, The Good Egg turned into the fallback breakfast choice. And it's not so bad here: hearty food in a reasonable climate, extra newspapers at the front of the place for browsing and a small patio out in front.
The special was a Philly scramble with sausage, peppers and mushrooms served with hashbrowns. The scramble was fairly uninspiring, but nothing bad certainly. The hash browns were middle of the road as well.
Service was prompt and friendly and they do sit a large pitcher of water on every table as well as a coffee container. This is probably more useful during the summer in Phoenix, but it did allow me to rehydrate after a morning run (and there was still plenty of water left over).
Overall, a basic breakfast at a reasonable price.
