| - It had been quite some time since I'd been to the Good Egg, as my favorite Midtown breakfast spot was always First Watch. Well, I went on probably a 2 year breakfast hiatus and had only been to a couple of places (I'm a night owl.) After my last visit to First Watch indicated it had completely gone down hill, it was time to try a new place. The Good Egg it is.
In contrast to First Watch, The Good Egg is spectacular. I ordered a basic breakfast consisting of two eggs over hard, pancakes, and bacon. The eggs were well prepared and I really enjoyed them, the bacon was worlds ahead of most breakfast places with only Matt's and Over Easy really standing out as better, but the pancakes were not really fluffy and light. Overall, I'd say the food quality was above average. Our waitress was very kind and extremely prompt, and performed her job exactly as she should have. I really appreciate getting great service or anymore even decent service makes me happy.
What went awry for me was the pricing. They are just a few pennies less than Matt's, and at $7.50 for my aforementioned breakfast, I guarantee it wasn't the same quality as Matt's. I wasn't eating organic cage-free eggs, nor was I consuming Neuske's bacon. I'm sure their rent at Park Central mall is outrageous, but I did find the pricing to be a bit on the high side, and my coffee, though unlimited, was kind of high at $2.25 when most breakfast places are under $2.
Overall a good experience, but my $12 bill including tax and tip was kind of a lot for breakfast.
