| - Preface my review by stating that Phoenix's east valley has scant little in terms of really good breakfast places. Okay, I'm a food snob...lived most of my life in NY, SF and L.A., and frankly, the best breakfasts I've found since moving here 4+ years ago have been at resorts like Camelback, Buttes, etc.
That said...I've eaten at several other Good Eggs, including the ones on Ray in Chandler, McQueen in Gilbert, and on Scottsdale Rd. Any of them beats this new one hands down. (And that sucks, since this one's much closer to me.) Tried it twice, and both times the service was hideous.
Both times I brought my family of four, and both times they messed up at least one of our orders. The second visit, they ended up giving me mine for free, since I had to wait an extra 20 minutes while they redid it. I'm not talking complex special requests here either...simple eggs and bacon or omelets.
Then there was little stuff I would've complained about had I not already lost patience from spending an hour there....like raw onions in the omelet instead of the grilled ones I asked for, or the english muffin they brought instead of the sourdough toast....
On both occasions at least one of our dishes was barely room temperature. I had to practically send up a flare to get my waitress' attention more than once...you'd think after I'd actually gotten up from my table to ask the front desk to send her over, she'd have been more attentive, but I still had to get up and tap her shoulder just to get the check 10 minutes later.
The food at the GE is okay....nothing stellar, but certainly better than your average greaspoon. But for whatever reason, the wait staff at this one just don't seem to get the gig, and the kitchen doesn't read right.
