| - I live a few blocks away and I love breakfast, so I'm really pulling for this place to get their act together. This review is aimed squarely at management. I want your restaurant to survive! Stop making this so hard!
I've gone to the Farmer's Ave Over Easy three times. Each visit was on a Sunday. Each visit it wasn't particularly busy.
1) The food is pretty solid. That's why I'm pulling for them to right this ship.
2) Both times the service has been beyond bad. Despite us each time being the server's only table, we couldn't get a drink refill to save our lives. The servers all look particularly unhappy and miserable. Perhaps the manager isn't easy to work with, but they drop off your first round of drinks, and then you're left to literally wave them down each time you want more diet coke or water. I had to wave down our waitress three times this last Sunday to get a refill on my diet coke (the cups are very, very small.) The waitresses are all behind the large counter and they seem to be more preoccupied with counting receipts, or wrapping silverware, or being on their phones. They don't look up. They don't even talk to each other. They look pretty unhappy to be at Over Easy.
3) This last visit I went to order an omelet and the waitress told me they were out of bacon and ham. Pretty much the only thing more ridiculous for a breakfast place to be out of would be eggs. It's bacon and ham! That's like half your menu, gone!
Honestly, if I didn't know better, I would think they're trying to make this place go out of business. The food isn't as good as Tempe favorite NCounter, but Over Easy is at least as good as Tempe's Snooze. The difference is that a) Snooze hasn't run out of bacon and ham, and b) Snooze's servers apparently don't hate their jobs.
