| - Husband and I were on our way to one of our fav breakfast places and decided to be spontaneous and try somewhere new. We found Over Easy on Yelp and didn't even realize it was part of The Yard in Tempe! I've been to The Yard in Phoenix and absolutely loved it so I had hopes for this one as well.
As someone who has worked in the food service industry as a server for numerous years I feel like I let things slide because I know how crazy things can get sometimes. This was unfortunately not the case at Over Easy.
The hostess took our name down and gave us the standard 10-15 minutes. It was not busy, and we were the only people waiting to be seated, there were a couple of tables that were open, and I figured the hostess was giving the server in that section a little time between tables. Standard stuff in the restaurant biz, and totally understandable. We perused the rest of the facility for maybe 2 minutes and then returned to the seating area. Another couple walked in and she told them she would seat them in a second. She then seated them immediately completely disregarding us, so of course I stood up right next to the host stand, she realized she had messed up and sat us at the next table she could. Oh did I mention she was smacking her gum? I know it's a lax environment but gum smacking is just unprofessional, period.
Our server was sweet and probably the only redeeming part of our experience. Food was average. And although I appreciate servers taking plates away, we weren't completely done eating one of the plates that was taken.
The last part was what sealed the deal for me. A large party was then waiting to be seated and a couple of tables around us had gotten up, it was pretty obvious that they were going to seat them and just needed our table, again, we were not done eating yet, and the hostess comes over and starts taking everything off our table, including water cups, coffee, everything. Then says "sorry" when I tell her I'm not finished. Still smacking her gum by the way.
I'm sad we had such a crumby experience and will definitely not be back to Over Easy. I typically love Fox Concepts restaurants, but this one has fallen short. :(
