I've come to the conclusion that there are two types of ratings here on Yelp...the Standard star rating, and the Suburban star rating. The average Suburban star rating appears to generally be a star higher than it would be with the Standard star rating because the restaurant is in a suburban setting amongst all the other ho-hum chain restaurants. I think that's the case for this place, the food was OK but not 4 1/2 stars worth.
I had the pork chop breakfast and Mark H had the New York strip breakfast. Both were ok with the steak being the better of the two...seasoned nicely and was cooked to mid-rare as ordered. My pork chops on the other hand were cut so thin (about 1/4") that there was no way that they'd be anything but dry. They were seasoned OK, but just so darn dry. The other disappointment were the potatoes that came with Mark H's steak and eggs. They were also quite dry like they had been sitting under the heat lamp for a long time. The best part of the breakfast was that you could get a house-made banana nut muffin instead of toast. The muffin was tasty and really moist. If you check in on Yelp, you also get a free banana nut muffin so we got the free one to go. The service was friendly and attentive so that's also another thing Egg Works has going for it.
Don't get me wrong, this place is OK and compared to the numerous chain places in Summerlin it's better but I'm just not sure it's worth 4 1/2 stars.
