To be a good breakfast place, you need 3 things: (1) good food; (2) GREAT coffee; and (3) good service. Egg Works has these covered. I live and die by the South of the Border Skillet. It's off menu, so I am sharing this little nugget with you because I am a regular here and know the secret menu. You can thank me later.
From the minute you walk in the door here, it's like stepping into a breakfast joint in Gatlinburg, Tennessee (aka the #1 vacation spot for rednecks east of the Mississippi). I think this is the look they are going for considering all the hokey decor. I love it! The hostesses, servers and bussers work together to make sure you get excellent service. Each table has a little sign on it that you can use to alert your server if you need something, but you won't need to use it because the service is just that good.
The only downside is I could sit for an hour just sipping coffee, but this place is too busy to do that. When I see the line out the door, I feel too guilty. So get in as many cups of coffee as you can before turning over your table. I like to take half my breakfast to go for the next day, but if that isn't your thing, be sure to order the half portion offered for most menu items. These breakfasts are built for lumberjacks.
