| - Went to this location today to meet friends because it was the closest to the middle of our houses.... thanks Good Egg for totally ignoring the SW Valley :/
I drove here not expecting much (always known this location as the crappy one), I had been to this location while it was still under the forgotten step-child The Eggery. I was surprised that they had finally gotten rid of that name and changed the signage to The Good Egg (not sure if this is recent or not, I haven't been down this part of Camelback in a bit of time). Upon seeing the new signage, I thought perhaps there would be a better experience to be had.... no, nope, not at all.
I met my party that was already seated in the WAAAAAAY outdated restaurant... I mean seriously people, the bakery cases that haven't been used in decades, the wood, the wallpaper, the metal chairs, and all the BRASS... oh my goodness all the brass....YUCK!..... Give this place a little attention Good Egg.
When I sat down I found half of the table wet and no napkins, a little puzzled I asked what the deal was. Apparently the waiter had spilled the water all over the table and used our napkins to try and wipe it up.... I repeat TRY to clean it up, he didn't succeed. Perhaps if he had went to get a towel he could of gotten all the water up, but apparently he never did (as this happened 10 min. before I got there and there was still puddles all over the table. Nor did he come back with fresh napkins...nice buddy, nice.
After being there for about 5 minutes the guy came to ask if I wanted anything to drink... Coffee and cream please. And walks away before we can say that we are ready to order... Now I am the ding dong who was a half hour late because my ass slept in, so friends were huunnngggry.....He comes back with coffee (lukewarm at best), no cream, and walks away...AGAIN. We sit, and sit, and sit. He finally comes and ask if we are ready to order, umm.. we had been there 45 minutes and 15 minutes...yeah, I think we've got it. We order and remind him again of the cream and napkins.
He comes back with cream, no napkins. sigh.
Food finally comes, order is right, but haphazardly prepared. Maybe the kitchen guy overslept too?
I have the Monterrey, it is missing tomatoes and you can tell that it was almost forgotten about because the eggs were starting to brown, my english muffin is nearly burnt and looks like it was toasted on a grill that needs some scrubbing, the cook compensated by soaking it in butter. Dollar Pancakes were shaped like road kill, and the side plate they came on was placed on my main plate. That's no big deal, I don't care. But as I am going fork to plate the server takes the side plate off the main plate...umm...eew, don't touch my food once it has hit the table. I worked my way through high school and college waiting tables, I have a high tolerance for eew, but some things just bug me right away... this is one of them. Dude, if you touch my food while it is in the kitchen, ignorance is bliss, but if you do it in front of me once the food is ON THE TABLE for goodness sake then that shit just be NASTY yo! I know damn well there is a good chance your hands aren't clean. Practically no food workers wash their hands as much as they are supposed to unless the health inspector is there....sorry people, its true.
Friend 1 had an even more crispy looking omelet. Friend 2 got a turkey sandwich. It was dry, and lacking in well... turkey! It looked as if they had folded up one piece of lunch meat to make it look more substantial. Her salad was pretty lame looking and had the runniest ranch dressing I had ever seen. What was even worse is that there was one sad runaway strawberry in her sandwich... wtf? Check your cold storage bins people! If Friend 1 had been the one to order the sandwich instead of Friend 2 then I wouldn't be writing this review right now because I would be supporting Friend 1 in the HOSPITAL!! Friend 1 has a major strawberry allergy. i understand shit happens, but how does a STRAWBERRY get put on a TURKEY sandwich and the cook doesn't notice?!??!!!
We could of said something if our server wasn't practicing his disappearing act again. Only time we saw him after he dropped off the food was when he dropped the check, and kindly paused out of his busy day to say "Everything ok?" ...kind of waited for a response and walked away.. no "thank you" "have a good day" "come again" "bugger off" nothing.... Mind you I use the word "busy" lightly, there was about 6 tables in the whole place full at 10am, and at least 4 other servers that I saw.
This was the third time I had been to this location... shitty experience as always, you know what that means people.... three strikes you're out! (oh and the water pitcher that half of which was spilled all over...the water was unfiltered grossness...boo :/ )
