We've been eagerly anticipating going to Egg 'N Joe for breakfast. As people who don't typically like the long weekend waits we chose a Tuesday morning for our visit. Egg 'N Joe is located at Pinnacle Peak and Scottsdale Road in the new Sprouts shopping center. We're over there all the time because Desert Ridge is so difficult to navigate and such a food wasteland.
Maybe we were hoping for too much. I'd never heard of Egg 'N Joe before and thought it might be locally owned. Unfortunately it's just another franchise place. To me I found the menu to be somewhat limited, especially when it came to the skillets. When I saw pictures of the food on the menu it was a big letdown.
Eating here reminded me of going to IHOP or Denny's when I thought we'd get a North Scottsdale experience. the food just isn't that great. In all fairness it's hard to hit the benchmark for me which is Butter's or Butterfield's in Scottsdale. They are the absolute best and you can get just about anything you want. If you're in this neighborhood and want a decent breakfast I would go to JJ's Delicatessen first.
Egg 'N Joe isn't a place I would seek out or go back to. Pricey, limited menu and there are better options elsewhere for breakfast.
