| - I don't know how anyone can go to a place like IHOP or Denny's voluntarily when they could go to The Cracked Egg. My girlfriend and I had had the worst night of our lives, our dog was in a veterinary hospital overnight sick - we didn't get much sleep (there was a lot of weeping involved). We woke up, knowing we would pick him up at noon and thought - goddamn it, I deserve a good breakfast after all this! And the Cracked Egg is that kind of place. This is food and service that could mend you, body and soul...
I ordered their croissant sandwich and my date ordered an omelette with bacon, cheese, and avocado (the serving of avocado was very generous - for those wondering). We both opted for hash browns. The hash browns here are WAY better fare than you would get elsewhere, although they are greasy to a fault. Still, it's like IHOP hash browns on steroids. These hash browns would make IHOP hash browns pee their pants in fear. It reminded me of something my grandma from Oklahoma would pull out in the morning, made in a skillet - low on presentation, high on deliciousness and love.
The wait was manageable if you're an early riser, service was extremely prompt. We received several offers of more coffee, water, milk etc, were asked if everything was good, from many different waiters and our main waiter was smiling, happy, and clearly a kind guy.
We ended up spending $30, around $15 per person for three drinks and two HUGE platters of food. For the quality and service (and the fact that you're supporting a smaller business) it's worth it.
