What People Are Saying About Egg & I

In Short
Don't expect anything fancy--just a classic American breakfast done really well. The setting is equally simple: A scattering of local art and heaps of newspapers to pore over while you eat. The breakfast menu offers every imaginable combination of every breakfast staple, all cooked to golden brown in a glory of butter. The choices are endless: Wheat or white? Scrambled or fried? Bacon or sausage? Pancake varieties include buttermilk, sourdough, buckwheat and multigrain.

We went to the Lyndale location over the weekend for the first time. The service was great. Even though it was packed in there, our server was on the ball with the coffee, juice, food, and the jokes. Even the bus-boys were on it....no need to wait for any refills. Food was quick and really tasty. Even though I live on the other side of the city, I want to try the "Big Egg" now in St. Paul.

The breakfast here is pretty much standard fare, they offer nothing special in terms of dishes or quality. The service is good, the waiters are friendly. The food is a good deal.

Great atmosphere, food always prepared really well, I have never been disappointed with any breakfast item on their menu. The waitresses take alot of pride in doing things "right". For a great breakfast experience, go to the "EGG and I".
