| - "Ah, excuse me, ma'am....is there anything on this menu that doesn't have eggs of some kind?"
"Why would you come to a place called the 'Egg and I' and expect anything different?"
That's the conversation I had in my head, anyway. They seriously know their eggs here, and virtually every dish has some form of egg in the dish or as a side.
The skillets. Oh my. I had the Green Chili Chicken Hash Skillet, and I gotta say it was pretty intense. It's a rarity that my mouth is on fire over the heat of a spicy breakfast, but the green chilis put me there. I didn't eat until dinnertime...it was that filling.
My wife had the standard biscuits and gravy, which did not disappoint. She did admit there was a bit too much pepper in them for her taste.
Passable coffee is a necessity at any breakfast establishment, and the Egg and I delivers well above that. But keep in mind that while I give them credit for offering a couple different flavors of coffee, the hazelnut coffee was disappointing in that it was pretty over-the-top on the hazelnut flavor. Stick with the standard octane and you'll be a caffeine-happy person for the day.
Overall, it's a great choice for a breakfast destination. You'll leave stuff, caffeinated, and a believer that eggs truly are a great addition to breakfast.
