| - Have been to this place twice, and each time had a great experience.
Both times I had ordered off the specials while my fiance took the more traditional breakfast route.
Today I had the Beef Brisket and Eggs skillet. Basically a large helping of tender beef brisket, a few scrambled eggs with fresh veggies mixed in. Perfect combination Desert Ray's! Had the country potatoes and pancakes for the sides. Country potatoes where good, and pancakes quite delicious.
Fiancee had the vegetarian Benedict, and judging by how fast she ate, it was very enjoyable. The poached eggs looked perfectly cooked and glad her English muffin was properly toasted vs being just warm like a few places had served them. Vegetables where fresh and another good point is the tomatoes where really red, which meant perfectly ripe.
Now when the food is this good, I can overlook some of the slight service issues. Please Desert Ray's, train your waitresses to check on their tables. Had to get up and get my own ketchup. She was younger, so obviously hadn't been doing this that long, but place wasn't that busy. Stopped by at the end of breakfast but was personable and friendly.
One last small detail- and just because my fiancee was a bit thrown off. The servers all looked professional in their black polo shirts. After all, you are charging $12-13 for breakfast, so a clean place (definitely spotless) and a professional staff is important. So what threw me off was the gentleman who was the host in a green t shirt and orange cargo pants. When I first saw him, I thought he just came from the gym next door. Turns out he was the host or manager. (and was very helpful to all guests and friendly- cool guy)....Just saying when your in North Scottsdale, and your place is very tidy and professional, wouldn't it make sense to reflect that?
Will absolutely come back and if your looking for a good breakfast spot, give them a try.
