| - This is the sixth and newest location for US Egg, an Arizona based restaurant concept. Six locations? Do we now call it a chain? Hard to say. This location is nicely done, a bit larger inside than what I expected based on the exterior. With Butterfield's located a couple of blocks to the East and Eggstasy located a couple of blocks to the West, this stretch of Shea Boulevard may become a destination for breakfast lovers. It could be a competitive challenge for this newcomer, but it will be nice to have a new alternative when the lines are out the door elsewhere.
The protein pancakes are US Egg's greatest strength. Filled with blueberries, granola, cinnamon and almonds, it's a bit of a stretch to think they're really that healthy, but they are certainly delicious. The "Half and Half" is a great way to order the pancakes and to sample some of the rest of the menu. You receive two small protein pancakes, an egg and a half sized hot skillet. We also ordered some whole wheat pancakes, US Egg's standard pancake, on this day. I'm sure they were better for me than some fluffy buttermilk pancakes I could order elsewhere, but they are forgettable. Stick with the protein pancakes!
