| - Always noticed this driving and visiting Archie's for lunch (in the same complex). I asked the server if this place was related to "Egg Works" / "Egg and I"? She replied "the owner here used to be a part owner of Egg and I.." Similarities in the menu were obvious.. " Well, I'm a fan of Egg and I, so I guess this place should be good too?!
Coffee Cake: Fresh, Spongy Soft, a little sweet/cinnamony.. Delicious! Reminded me of the 'Heavenly' Banana Nut muffin at Egg and I..
Homemade Corned Beef Hash: Real corned beef, short slices mixed with diced onions and bell peppers.. Eggs on top (I opted for egg whites this time). I went with their hashbrowns, it came on a separate dish (decent size). The Corned Beef was good, better than the usual canned versions. Hash Browns were average.
Chicken Fried Steak, Gravy and Eggs: Nicely portioned, chicken and gravy was good, eggs scrambled, seasoned potatoes (identical to seasoned potatoes at Egg and I) came as little fried treats with heavy seasoning and the white toast just like at every other restaurant.
Service, Atmosphere, Value and Taste: Overall, just squeezed into the 4 star level, in my opinion (the coffee cake gave them the edge). I plan to try more of their offerings.. If you like Egg and I, then you should feel the same for this place.. Or if your a breakfast person, it should satisfy!
