Eggs in the City

Good lord people. Did you not see that waitress with the bad bouffante and too many tats being terrible to the other servers in the back of the restaurant, and then adopting an entirely fake cheery, squeaky voice moments later with a customer? And she's only nice to the customers she thinks are going to tip well - the rest she treats like dirt.. Eggs are also not supposed to be watery. Skip this joint. It is not worth it.

Went for lunch today. The atmosphere was very sunny and indoor/outdoor seating. The menu offers breakfast (omelets, breakfast burritos, I noticed biscuits & gravy, but did not try). Had a veggie sandwich; it was pretty good, better than most, but not the best. Wasn't impressed with the bread. Breakfast potatoes were also above average, some crispy, some potatoey. Boyfriend had a burger, wasn't too big and the bread was soft (I have no opinions on that one, just an observation.) I will definitely try a Saturday/Sunday brunch. Worth going back.

i had the eggs florentine and the husband had the meat lover's special. the hollandaise on the eggs could have used some lemon and a touch of curry in it but at least it was a real sauce because it started to separate as i was almost done eating. the sausage in the meat lover's was differently spiced than one would expect but very good. the place was warm on the first 80+ day in the valley but otherwise comfy and welcoming. not sure i would want to eat there when it was super hot weather. we were seating in a primo spot outside & it was lovely. as a major side note: i know the folks in the neighgorhood hate this place because it's popular and parking overflows into the neighborhood for a few houses in either direction. emigration market is kitty corner from the restaurant and jolley'spharmacy just to the south. it might explain why there are so many houses in the area for sale. it's no reason to be rude though. not sure why they moved there in the 1st place if they didn't want to be able to be within walking distance to these amenities. the neighbors on the side street to the northeast were very rude to me. sorry i walked on the grass at the treeline bordering the street - don't block the sidewalk so people can use it [you, your wife, your exceedling cute child who you were oohhing and ahhing over as he tried to walk and did a face plant on the cement, along with another couple], put a sign up asking people to please not walk on the grass because you just put sod down [it wasn't obvious at all], or don't yell at people to get off the lush grass next to the street/parking. my choice was to walk in the street on the grass bordering it.

Pros: great tats on one of the waitresses

Cons: rude neighbors/parking

Welcome To Eggs In The City: HOURSE ARE 7AM to 2PM Seven Days a week. I have emailed city search to no avail. Hi I am Jessa and I am a server at Eggs. I thought I would hop online and give you some suggestions and perks about Eggs In The City. We have done a lot of updating on our menu and restaurant and would love to have you stop in. What are you known for you might ask? Well.... We are known for a few great items that you may have just not tried when coming in before. Ask for one of our Breakfast Burritos smothered in Jose's homemade chile verde. It is yummy. Also our french toast is to die for. We call it Diablos French Toast cause it is sinful. It is marinated in maple syrup and once it hits the grill it carmilizes the french toast. Also, if you don't like our potatoes which we are always tring to improve feel free to sub them for a slice of this wonderful french toast. Also the Greek Skillet is new to Eggs and is deeelicious. It is a bed of potatoes grilled with green peppers, onions, spinach, feta, chedder and avo- It comes with two eggs and tortillas or toast to wrap it all up in. Our Salads are fresh and wonderful and our Beef Philly and PotRoast Tacos(Ask when coming in..its a chef specialty) will knock your socks off and will be the best you will ever have. We also serve hot and fresh local roasted MillCreek Coffee. After reading some of the reviews I was sad to hear that food had been coming out hap-hazzardly. We have a head chef that has worked out the kinks of that from last fall. We hope you will give us another try. Also, in regards to being out of food. We get so busy on the weekends that we actually RUN out of food. We have also changed our food order to comply and it has seemed to work out nicely. Come in and speak with me and I will make your stay a pleasant one. Hope I have given some helpful tips. Come and see the crew down at Eggs In The City and we will treat you like family. Jessa Orme....

Pros: Patio Seating, Fast Service, Treated like Family, Smothered Burritos, French Toast, Reservations, Family Oriented, Good Coffee, Nice View.

I basically wanted a bowl of oatmeal with fruit on top and for $6.50 they gave me the "creme brulee". a small bowl of oatmeal with some blueberries, banana, pecans and brown sugar. i asked for the pecans on the side and they tried to charge me for a side order of pecans. needless to say, i had a bad first visit to the restaurant. the egg dishes looked good and seemed to be worth their price, but don't come here expecting flexibility when ordering or universally reasonable menu prices.

Fast seating, good food if you can get it. Service tends to parcel out food orders, one person at the table at a time. It has been as long as ten minutes between delivery, the idea is to eat together. This has happened several times. Only been for breakfast.

I ate here for the first time with some co-workers based on a "rave" of a recommendation from a friend, that claimed it to have the best breakfast burrito in town. The menu at first glance looks like any menu from any diner in any town. They have burritos, huevos rancheros, omelets, waffles, pancakes, french dip, blah, blah, blah, blah. But the dishes when plated are anything but traditional. The cornbeef has isn't mashed with small potatoes. It's huge cubes of cornbeef with huge diced potatoes. The French dip is stacked about a mile high. The breakfast burrito is basically anything you can imagine putting in an omelet and then rolled into a flower tortilla. Having said all that, the bottom line is the food is good... but not great. There isn't one thing on the menu that I would say if you are going to "Eggs" you have to get this. The decor and the ambiance are more of an attraction than the food. The people are nice and jovial to "regulars" and apathetic to others. The cooks work in an area no bigger than a jail cell so when busy plates are served as they come out. So it's not uncommon to get your food 20 mins before or after others at your table.

Pros: Ambience, decor, patio

Cons: service

My boyfriend and I went to Eggs in the City because our friend had suggested it. The food was boring, and we had to order our food three times because they were out of everything. They were out of egg whites, eggs Florentine, sausage, bacon, Caesar salad, and who knows what else. My food came out an hour before my boyfriends did, and by the time his finally came out I had already finished my meal. The server was apathetic, and acted like she was doing us a favor when she comped our breakfast. I will not be returning to that overly pretentious café. They only serve mediocre food, and they don’t even have an espresso machine. Don't go there unless you like rude service, bad food, and no options, because they'll be out of whatever you want.

Pros: I don't have to eat there again!

Cons: where to begin?

IT began with the people, which is where it starts for me everywhere. There AWSOME, Then came the food, Its AWSOME. I had the Huevos Rancheros and I have to say it was as good as I"ve ever had. The location and feel of the place was inviting and warm with an incredible patio. CAN'T WAIT TO GO BACK!

Pros: Food, People, Ambience
