There is nothing like getting to brunch on the Monday of a three-day weekend! So I have to say that I have always been skeptical of Eggtc. because I know that it's owned by Minsky's and, to put it lightly, I'm not a fan of Minsky's. However, my family wanted to go this morning, and I'm not one to say "no" to a free meal. I visited the Shawnee location, which is in a weird location, if you ask me. It's right off of an overpass and if you blink, you'd miss it. We arrived around 11:30 and there was a wait time of 30 minutes. There's not a whole lot of a waiting area, so we ended up waiting on a bench outside. When we finally were seated, we were greeted by our very cheerful, bubbly server. I wish I'd remembered her name because I'd love to give her a shoutout. Eggtc., if you're reading this, please let your server with the short hair and glittery eyeshadow know that she was awesome! The inside of the restaurant looks to be a renovated bar. It's pretty open with one raised seating area and one at a regular level. There's a lot of yellow paint on the walls and it goes nicely with the reddish wooden furniture and wall trimmings. For brunch, I had a cup of tea and the crepe dulce. I expected the tea to be of the Lipton variety, but what I was brought was a tea bag of organic English breakfast tea in a cute silky sachet. I know that Eggtc. isn't making the tea or anything, but it was really good, and I have to commend them in their tea choices. The crepe dulce was excellent! To explain, it consisted of two sweet crepes filled with fresh strawberries and a fruity-ricotta sauce; topped with fresh mangoes and strawberries, candied pecans, and a mango sauce; and finished with a whipped cream garnish. The crepes could have been chewier and the mangoes could have been a little riper, but it was so good. And that ricotta filling! Fantastic! The service was great and the entire experience was enjoyable. If you, for whatever reason, find yourself in Shawnee, Kansas on a weekend (or weekday!) morning, check out Eggtc. for a great brunch.

The best. Best. Best. Best. And best breakfast place in town. Service has watched my kids grow from when we had none to now that my daughter is three and greets us as family when we arrive. Our waitress just said she was happy and excited to see my one year old boy walking and being adventurous. The Rockies Benny is my go-to with the Southwestern Benny and Desperito Burrito to follow while my wife loves the Garden of Eden and Spinach and 4-Cheese Omelet. Their waffles are amazing. Out of this world, legit. I can't express enough how great this place is and less than $30 for a family of 4.

I have dined a many local eats in my 30 years eating out. Eggct. Has to be one of the better cafes for a great breakfast, brunch, or Lunch. They serve local roaster's Parisi's coffee, a big plus. The servers are very friendly and check on their customers frequently. On several visits we have bern served by Tiffany, who seems very busy, but always takes the time to speak to her customers. Management is also very courteous and professional. The food is consistently flavorful and tasty and the coffee hot and freshly brewed. The chorizo omelet has plenty of chorizo to distinguish from the sparse black pepper seasoning serving other cafes pass off. An added bonus is the televisions to keep informed of current news, sports, etc. overall, Eggct provides a quality product and service for a wonderful dining experience.
Probably the best breakfast place in Johnson County

Great breakfast! Athena's greek omelet and the eggs benedict with avocado are my favorites.

First time in KC, found this right next to the courtyard by Marriott in Shawnee just by passing by. I would eat bfast every day here if I could, just for the sourdough French toast alone.

Amazing food and the staff here was so polite! Just amazing customer service. Definitely going to come back and recommend to anyone going to KC. They also have football on the TV's which is a plus for everyone!

This was a nice brunch. It was not all that and a bag. The service was pretty good on a slammed Memorial Day. I ordered Eggs that were super good. I like them scrambled soft, and they were perfecto. The bacon was cooked soft as well and very tasty. My grits were by far the low point of the visit. They were absolutly forgetable.

I'm from San Diego and this place has pretty freakin good eggs benedict. I had the eggs florentine and they were cooked perfectly with fresh avocado, spinach, and tomatoe.

So this is right down the road from my house and I've never been but I'm really not a breakfast/brunch gal. A friend suggested we meet there for lunch and surprisingly I got breakfast food. It was really good and so dang fast! I got the breakfast sandwich with sausage, egg and cheddar on sour dough. Can't complain. It was pretty great. I think I would come back if I ever found myself wanting breakfast food from a restaurant.

Always reliable for a great breakfast. My favorite is the "Classico" Fast turnover on tables so wait isn't real bad on weekends. Week days are way better. Always have friendly service, they never make you feel rushed even when they're busy & food comes out relatively quick. It's my go-to place for a breakfast out. Nothing too fancy but a nice place, reasonable prices & good selections for personalizing your dish. Not hesitant to go back.

The premiere breakfast stop in the greater Kansas City metro. You better believe that you won't leave hungry, but you will leave impressed. From the great service, to the egg-centric art on the walls this place matches its ascetic personality with the same energy with its food and service. They have a secret weapon that most breakfast places should have to be consider to be premiere. The bar. It is magic, and the interaction with the staff is not mandatory, but highly recommended. Small talk, big talk, or no talk to pair with the copious options for drinks and personalized menu will be a memory that you won't forget. P.S. If you like home made salsa, try theirs. Made fresh every day, and so flavorful.

Best brunch in the area! Service is always great (Jenny was so attentive and friendly when we were there last with our 8 month old), and food is always made to order - hot and fast - even when the place is jam packed (weekends). My husband is a bacon addict and I am vegetarian, and we both always leave happy and full. My favorites are the Athena omelette, Garden of Eden Frittata, and french toast. We get our coffee to-go so we can enjoy it on the ride home. Go once and you'll be hooked!

We went for breakfast on a Saturday morning and the place was packed. Wait was only 15 minutes though. I ordered the eggs Benedict florentine and a side of pancakes. Good size portions and it was delicious! Smoothies were huge! One of my favorite places to go for breakfast now! Service was great and fast for it being so busy.

Great place. Great coffee and food. Eggs Benedict here is outstanding - some of the best I've ever had. Coffee cups are about the size of your head and filled with great coffee :)

Good food and great customer service! We got our food 15 minutes before they closed and I didn't feel rushed to eat my food and leave :) The menu is pretty extensive though. So, it wouldn't hurt to review the menu before you go if you're not sure exactly what you're looking for. They have plenty of options to choose from :)

I had breakfast here two days in a row while on a work trip. Very satisfied. It hit on all the things I look for with a good breakfast spot. Good food, variety of options (savory and sweet), good interior and staff that works hard. We had our whole team here one of the days and they were spot on with their service. I had the Despierto Burrito one day, and the breakfast tacos the second day. Both were solid dishes that I would argue are B+ or maybe even A-. They had fresh squeezed orange juice too, which looked delicious. All the dishes our team got looked to be a sizable quantity and no one in the bunch was disappointed. I'd say for sure visit Eggtc if you are tired of standard gross fast food breakfast options.

I eat here almost every Sunday. Great menu with plenty to choose from. Favorite things are the cinnamon roll, ranchero omelet and the finish line omelet. Best place to sit is up at the bar. Plenty of friendly conversation.

Eggtc is just wonderful and always fresh! I bring breakfast and lunch often to my customers and Julie, the Manager, is a pleasure to work with and brings amazing breakfasts...even quiche, crepes, thick perfectly cooked bacon and all the trimmings. Their lunches are great too, I recommend the hot turkey sandwiches or the grilled chicken sandwich on ciabatta bread. The staff is a fun, friendly crew and I always have customers ask me where these wonderful breakfasts and lunches come from...I happily tell them their neighborhood eggtc! They also deliver so it is very convenient and healthy. I like to surprise and delight my customers and eggtc always delivers!

There was a hair in my to go sour cream container and hair really, really, really disgusts me. So, in lieu of that I will probably not eat here again anytime soon. Food is pretty decent and all, but I'll have a hard time getting past the long, gross sour cream soaked strand.

I've always been a fan of Eggtc, a great breakfast joint that ranks right up at the top with other formidable morning establishments. This particular visit was just as good as others. Local Parisi coffee is always a great start. Our server today was outstanding - she knew all the right things to say but also when to step away from the table to give us our time to chat. Like other breakfast restaurants, Eggtc's menu is pretty extensive. Lots of omelette choices and a few griddle options. Prices are about right - $7.99 for omelettes with potatoes or fruit and choice of toast. I tried the cobb today, bleu cheese, monterey jack, avocados, and walnuts mixed into a perfectly made two eggs omelette. We also shared the pancake special one tres leche pancake. This was one of the best pancakes I've ever tasted. I was expecting a desert style pancake, but it was brilliant. Our dining mate had the belgian waffle. Though a good taste, it weighed about four pounds, a little too dense for what should have been a fluffy waffle. Eggtc fills up pretty quickly the closer you get to 9am. The local cycling crowd can often fill numerous tables and there is frequently a wait outside the door. Get here early to beat the rush. We'll be back to try some more options here or at their other location on Main St.

Our regular neighborhood spot for brunch. I've had a couple less impressive experiences - once we got sticky coffee mugs, twice I got rotten avocado in my omelet. But our good experiences have far outweighed those so we keep going back. There is usually a wait so if you're going for Sunday brunch get there early. 9am is the best time to get in because by 10 there will be people filling the sidewalk outside waiting for a table. The downtown location is great too but this one is closer to home and has easier parking.

Food is decent, but the entry way hell (especially on weekend mornings) is terrible. The waiting area really needs to be rethought so that people can more easily get in and out. The wait staff is so-so the last few times we've been.

The husband and I stopped here on our way down to OKC so it was a Friday at 8:30 am. The hostess was friendly, but our server was just so rude. We saw the Red Velvet pancakes special on the board as we walked in, but ultimately decided to split them, biscuits and chorizo gravy and the french toast. Our water and coffee came quickly, but then we waited and waited to order. Now on a busy day I am totally understanding, but I was starting to get irked since the place wasn't exactly crowded. Anyway, we ordered and I said the French Toast first. Then she asked "how many?"... the menu just says "french toast" and a price, so I was thrown off by the question. She repeated rudely... How many pieces of french toast do you want?? I then paused again thinking to myself like whole pieces/halves/huh? and just blurted out 2. I then ordered the red velvet pancakes and got the same question. Well, you know what.... I don't freaking know how many I want. I clearly haven't been here before so some help on how big they are would be helpful. I ordered 2 again and then specified how many biscuits we wanted when I ordered those. The food was disappointingly good. When you get service like this, it makes it easier when the food sucks too, but unfortunately I loved the chorizo gravy. The french toast was solid, but not stand out and I also really liked the red velvet pancakes as well. However, I don't think we will be back. The waitress was just rude, and this place is a hassle to deal with during breakfast hours on the weekend (we have tried to come a couple times before, but its a small parking lot and usually a long wait).

This place always has a line. The wait is generally short and the food is always hot fresh and served promptly with friendly service. I'd recommend the eggs Benny with salmon or southwest Benny. Glad to have this place in Shawnee.

I had been to the other location before a couple of years ago and it was really pretty decent. This place, however, was barely tolerable. Hubby had the vegetable quiche and it was fairly tasty, but he complained that the portion size was too small. I had the omelet special which sounded good, an apple and goat cheese omelet, but it was really very sad. There was literally nothing inside the omelet except for a few little bits of goat cheese. No apple! There were a couple of tiny slivers of green apple on top and a bunch of sauteed red onions. I was hungry, so I ate it, but it was really not good. I could have stayed home and made a far tastier omelet myself. In fact, the next time I think about going here, I will do just that. Hubby and I both ordered fruit with our meals instead of potatoes and we laughed to each other when it was plopped on the table; little plates with a tiny strawberry sliced into bits, three little slices of banana, a tiny bit of old dried out cantaloupe and some grapes that were far past their prime. If I were the owner of a restaurant that delivered something like that to any table, I would be terribly embarrassed. The decor is a bit red for me that early in the morning and the big screen televisions are an unwelcome distraction. The service was tolerable, but nothing to write home about. They had a lot more wait staff on hand than they needed as they were all congregated nearby, yet our waitress was a bit slow on the uptake to process our check. All in all, First Watch and Le Peep both have this place beat hands down. I see no compelling reason to go back.

Michelle B.
The service was good and the food was good. Nothing super special about it but nothing to really complain about. The menu could definitely be a little bit bigger but the crepes dolce were delicious and if you get coffee you get a huge cup instead of a tiny one like most other restaurants offer.

I love the Main Street location but I live in Olathe so I decided to try this location. I won't try it again. My husband and I wait for 25 minutes in a very cramped, small waiting area (is it me or does NO ONE say excuse me anymore??) We were finally seated and there were lots of tables available so I'm not sure why we waited so long. We ordered on the first visit from the waitress and then waited quite a bit for our food. Once our food did arrive my bagel was burned, my quiche was hard and gross (I ordered the Denver and it was smothered in cheese... Good if you love lots of cheese!) my husbands eggs were scrambled hard (he ordered them soft). The waitress was attentive and they fixed our order but the overall experience was not great and in the future I will drive to the Main Street location.

My wife took me to Here a few years ago and we've been hooked ever since. Today I took my family here and the food was fantastic. I had the Rachero Omlette and my aunt had their version of the breakfast burrito. Both had just the right amount of spices and were very filling. They were a little busy today and it seemed there was only one waitress and she seemed to keep up pretty good once she took our order. If you're in the mood for a nice diner, you've got to check them out.

This was suggested by a few friends of mine. It was conveniently located across the street. Walking into the place there was already a huge group of people waiting. Surprisingly the hostess said about 15 minutes until we get a table. The place itself is fairly spread out, red painted walls, a bar with 2 TV's, and on the opposite side an elevated floor to another eating area. I'll get this out of the way.... The service here is horrid. It seems like their employees aren't trained to do what other waiters/waitresses do. Check tables, refill drinks, and make sure that the patrons are taken care of and overall happy with their service. None of those things happened. I won't take too many points from our waiter, but I am 100% sure he's dyslexic. He had written my order down, to later some how forget my order and requested that I repeat it again. It took a bit of effort to get our orders down. Also he did not give us our utensils or refilled our drinks. He was only present at taking our order and then at the end of our meal, giving our bill. He had also forgot that my friend requested that he wanted bacon, to which he never got. Also had put the wrong items on our tickets. I can only give him the benefit of the doubt that it could have possibly been his first day working there. Now the food. I am sure you've been waiting to read this part. The food is EGGCELENT! I had ordered the classico, which had scrambled eggs, 2 sausage patties, seasoned potatoes, and a toasted/buttered English muffin. The orange juice was also freshly squeezed. It could have been diluted a little bit with water, as it was fairly sweet, but great that they would offer that. I don't know of any breakfast places that do that. I made a little sandwich with what I ordered. If you can tolerate horrible service to get freshly made breakfast, it's worth the wait. Perhaps my next visit, the service will improve. I'll make an updated review if that happens.

This is one of our easy go to breakfast spots in KC. I've found the food to always be consistently good and the coffee always hits the spot. I've yet to have bad service here, but they almost are always busy when we come so we always have a wait. They have a large menu to cater to anything someone might be craving. I tend to always lean towards an omelet, which are large and fluffy and stuffed with goodies. Last time we split a pancake on the side and it was really good as well and a single pancake was actually pretty large!

Stopped by for Lunch last Saturday with the family and was very pleased. I had the turkey burger with feta and of course added bacon. The burger was really good, not too dry (which can happen with turkey). The bacon was perfect. I ordered the sweet potato fries and they were pretty good too. The wife ordered the savory crepe which came with plenty of hollandaise sauce. The sauce was yummy, but a bit overwhelming as the crepe was smothered in it. For our daughter we ordered the pig in a blanket with an egg. It met expectations and she loved it...of course. :) The service was great and I'd come back.

Scott M.
Great food spoiled. I have eaten here about a half dozen times in the past 12 months. It never ceases to amaze me at how many times I have to ask my server to go back and get the additional items I have ordered. Missing compote, missing cilantro, missing syrup...all minor, but... The definition of insanity is doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting a different result. A true shame. The place on Main has it pretty much dialed...here...not so much....sad.

Jordan W.
The variety of the food and drink menu was agreeable. Very family friendly which is great for suburban families, but not so comfortable for young professionals not too long out of college. My little group found ourselves seated right next to baby so we felt the need to censor our language a bit. My waffle and oatmeal were good but nothing more spectacular than could be found at IHOP. I found $4 for a bowl of plain oatmeal to be exorbitant. If I'm gonna do brunch in the future then I'm probably going to stick to the Plaza or Westport.

In the mood for breakfast, I started to head to one of my favorite places, Le Peep, but remembered that Eggtc was closer, and I wanted to give them a try. I was there shortly after 1:00 pm, and it wasn't very crowded. I ordered eggs and biscuits. I liked the fact that honey-butter was available. It wasn't the best honey butter I've had, but it wasn't too bad, and I appreciated the attempt. The eggs were average, as were the biscuits (hmmm maybe slightly above average), although they did 'grill' the biscuits, which I like sometimes. The service was good. My water glass was always full (I drink a LOT of water!). I do like Le Peep better; I feel the eggs are better quality. The price was the same as at Le Peep for my breakfast.

Erika M.
I have been here a few times for breakfast. Each time I have been, there has been a minimal wait time. Always less than 15 minutes. Although they are usually swamped when I have been there, the servers try their hardest to check in frequently with everyone. The coffee, vegetable quiche, breakfast potatoes, and pancakes are very delicious! Be warned that if you order the pancakes, they will be VERY generous in size! (The size of the plate!) While they do serve lunch, it appears as though their lunch specific items were much more limited than the number of breakfast items. Yet, they do serve breakfast up until the time they close.

I come here a lot for mediocre (spelling?) food. Sometimes its good, sometimes its not. Sometimes there is leftover lipstick on the coffee mugs, sometimes there isnt. If you have to eat at Eggtc, take the time and go to the plaza location, its much much better, and more consistant.

Disappointed in the portions of the daily special omelet. Basically consisted of egg only minus the shepards pie paired with 5 pieces of fruit. You're better off ordering the potatoes as a side. Would not recommend the cappuccino-it tasted like milky water.

I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed. After a frigid night sleeping on concrete outside of Nebraska Furniture Mart, I decided to cap off the night with my favorite meal: breakfast. Hosts were great, we were seated immediately. I noticed the full bar that takes up the north side of the restaurant---which seemed out of place given the 2pm closing time. Perhaps they are catering to the "hair of the dog" crowd. Now, a rather callous rundown of the food and service. Bacon was dry and plastic in texture---reminded me of turkey bacon. Gravy was congealed. Eggs were perfectly over-easy, and there was a good selection of hot sauces, but they made my lady's over-hard, and then forgot to replenish her silverware on the return And most glaringly annoying was our server, who spoke at an inappropriate volume and didn't offer to refill water or coffee until she left the check. Perhaps I was underslept, but I was awake enough to know I was thoroughly underwhelmed.

After an insanely early wakeup call, I was quite excited to visit Eggtc. since I'd heard such good things about their Main St. location. I ordered the coffee, which was better than your average diner coffee, but nothing worth writing home about. Next up came Athena's omelette with Feta cheese, Kalamata olives, tomatoes, red onions with a balsamic vinegar reduction. The reduction tasted like nothing, weird right? But the rest of the omelette was simply divine. Perfect texture, perfect doneness, perfect balance of flavors. I'd eat it again. The potatoes that came along with it weren't what I wanted, but they were still good. The toast was overly greasy and I didn't eat it. My fellow diners were significantly underwhelmed and disappointed with their dishes, unfortunately. If the review stopped here, I'd give it probably 4.5/5 stars. However, I can't finish my review without mentioning the service, or my server in particular. She spoke so loudly, and so shrilly, I could hear her all the way across the restaurant. And she was complaining to the patrons, which is a huge no-no, in my opinion! Finally, she didn't refill my water OR coffee, until I asked for it. Then she forgot, and remembered a while later. To wrap it up, I loved my food, and was gravely disappointed with the service. Maybe I should try the highly-rated Main St location??

I stopped here with my family for an early Sunday morning breakfast. The location was quite busy but it only took about 10 minutes for our party of 6 to get seated. The staff was all friendly and served us well. Our waitress was extra peppy and I was tired, so not exactly what I was looking for but it was alright. The food was pretty regular price for a normal breakfast, similar to a Dennys or Perkins. They did have some variety, but mostly what you would expect. The rachero omelette I had was good, nothing too full of flavor though. The decor was pretty lame. I think part of the bar was made out of plywood and spray paint and it looked like crap. The waitress mentioned how the kitchen is very small so they are slow, and the menu even mentioned how slow the food comes. Fix your kitchen or stop making excuses, no one wants slow service unless they are retired. Overall it was average food, service and price. Sub average cooking times and decor. Not planning on making a trip back anytime soon.

Well, I don't know where to find a good breakfast in kc anymore. I had eggtc. once at the near plaza location and enjoyed it but have never been impressed with the new Shawnee location. The wait staff is less than impressive. Silverware rarely clean. The food never to the quality you would expect for the decent location and eggtc name. This eggtc and le peep and firstwatch has inspired the wife and I to just drive to the grocery store and get some good ole bacon and eggs to make at home.

We've gone here a couple times for breakfast/brunch and it's delightful. They have many different varieties and there are ample portions of everything. We went at prime time for seating and after a marathon at shawnee mission park so it was packed but there's plenty of sidewalk and they usually have newspapers to read. I believe you can also sit at the bar and wait if there's an open seat. Definitely a place to try if you're trying to avoid IHOP/Denny's :D

We ate here this morning after hearing how good it was from my in-laws. We were there at 10 on a Sunday, so maybe that was the problem, but the service was not outstanding. The hostesses didn't seem to know how long it would take to seat people, and there were a bunch of servers standing around and chatting. It seemed to take longer than other places for Sunday morning breakfast. I got a crepe with spinach and eggs covered in hollendaise sauce. It was pretty good. Potatoes on the side were seasoned well. I thought it interesting that a decent percentage of the place was devoted to the bar. For a breakfast and lunch place, I found that to be unique. They are proud of it though and advertized their "sun-up giddyups" including bloody marys etc. Maybe when I feel like a morning cockail, I will head back again.

I am surprised to see so many negative reviews. I've always been pleased with my meals there and I've been there many times. Pancakes are just right. Southwest omelet is a favorite. Coffee is pretty good. Prices slightly too high but I will still be a regular.

absolute ripoff. Went there with my granddaughter and I ordered 6.99 classico for myself and my 3 year old grand daughter got a kids meal and the total was 19.00 without tip. I had to look at my watch to make sure this wasnt dinner, however it was in fact breakfast at 7:30 am. IDK, maybe they forgot to set there clocks. I wont need to make a note to myself to not go back here, so you dont need to remind me.

I was a little surprised reading some of the poorer reviews of this restaurant. I thought that the price here was on par with the average breakfast restaurant, the service was good, and my water & coffee were always full. My meal was prepared quickly and was very yummy. I was also impressed with the manager, because I ordered crispy bacon and when she brought out my plate, she told me that the kitchen was remaking my bacon, as she didn't feel that the first batch was up to her standard. I really appreciated that, because I've ordered crispy bacon at other restaurants many times and then received limp, fatty pieces. All in all, I was very pleased with my experience here.

There is nothing like getting to brunch on the Monday of a three-day weekend! So I have to say that I have always been skeptical of Eggtc. because I know that it's owned by Minsky's and, to put it lightly, I'm not a fan of Minsky's.

There's not a whole lot of a waiting area, so we ended up waiting on a bench outside. When we finally were seated, we were greeted by our very cheerful, bubbly server. I wish I'd remembered her name because I'd love to give her a shoutout. Eggtc., if you're reading this, please let your server with the short hair and glittery eyeshadow know that she was awesome! The inside of the restaurant looks to be a renovated bar. It's pretty open with one raised seating area and one at a regular level. There's a lot of yellow paint on the walls and it goes nicely with the reddish wooden furniture and wall trimmings. For brunch, I had a cup of tea and the crepe dulce. I expected the tea to be of the Lipton variety, but what I was brought was a tea bag of organic English breakfast tea in a cute silky sachet. I know that Eggtc. isn't making the tea or anything, but it was really good, and I have to commend them in their tea choices. The crepe dulce was excellent! To explain, it consisted of two sweet crepes filled with fresh strawberries and a fruity-ricotta sauce; topped with fresh mangoes and strawberries, candied pecans, and a mango sauce; and finished with a whipped cream garnish. The crepes could have been chewier and the mangoes could have been a little riper, but it was so good. And that ricotta filling! Fantastic! The service was great and the entire experience was enjoyable. If you, for whatever reason, find yourself in Shawnee, Kansas on a weekend (or weekday!) morning, check out Eggtc. for a great brunch.

The best. Best. Best. Best. And best breakfast place in town. Service has watched my kids grow from when we had none to now that my daughter is three and greets us as family when we arrive. Our waitress just said she was happy and excited to see my one year old boy walking and being adventurous. The Rockies Benny is my go-to with the Southwestern Benny and Desperito Burrito to follow while my wife loves the Garden of Eden and Spinach and 4-Cheese Omelet. Their waffles are amazing. Out of this world, legit. I can't express enough how great this place is and less than $30 for a family of 4. "On my death bed, my greatest regret will be that we didn't find Eggetc until we'd gone to First Watch one-too-many times..." -Sarah, my Wife

I have dined a many local eats in my 30 years eating out. Eggct. Has to be one of the better cafes for a great breakfast, brunch, or Lunch. They serve local roaster's Parisi's coffee, a big plus. The servers are very friendly and check on their customers frequently. On several visits we have bern served by Tiffany, who seems very busy, but always takes the time to speak to her customers. Management is also very courteous and professional. The food is consistently flavorful and tasty and the coffee hot and freshly brewed. The chorizo omelet has plenty of chorizo to distinguish from the sparse black pepper seasoning serving other cafes pass off. An added bonus is the televisions to keep informed of current news, sports, etc. overall, Eggct provides a quality product and service for a wonderful dining experience.

Some people like to eat breakfast at any time of the day - I lunched with a couple of those people on Monday, March 5 so we headed over to Eggtc. on Renner Rd. The restaurant was quite at lunch - different than the breakfasts I have experienced there on a Saturday or Sunday morning (usually a 15-25 min wait during those times). We were quickly seated and waited upon. Eggtc. is consistent - the food I've ordered has always been good and this experience was no different. I ordered (I wish I could remember the exact name) a burger with BBQ sauce and pineapple with a side of sweet potato fries. In addition to the burger, Eggtc. is one of the few places around where you can get a glass of fresh squeezed orange juice, so I treated myself to one. My lunch companions both ordered breakfast - one the Eggs Benedict, the other an omelet. Both were pleased with their meals. So, I have two minor complaints about Eggtc. (neither of which keep me from coming back). 1. I feel their décor is assaulting to my eyes. Yellow and Red and Black, oh my! 2. I feel that their menu is missing something. I'm not sure what is missing - I'm always able to find something to eat, but every time I find myself there it's like I'm settling for something rather than finding the perfect item on the menu. They do have the fresh squeezed OJ, and that's definitely a plus. The staff is always pleasant and knowledgeable about the menu. Will I go back? I'm married to a breakfast lover and I love fresh-squeezed OJ, I'll be back. It's good but not eggceptional.

I looked forward to going to Eggtc with a friend to celebrate her birthday. She had an omelet coupon. and chose Athena's with Feta cheese, Kalamata olives, tomatoes, red onions with balsamic vinegar reduction. It was served with toast and a fruit salad. The omelet seemed to be tasty, since she ate all of it and made no negative comments. I ordered the Crepe Cena, It was described as sautéed spinach and onions in a scrambled egg filled crepe,. topped with hollandaise and garnished with crisp bacon. Breakfast potatoes rounded out the meal. The crepe and the scrambled eggs were good, but the hollandaise sauce was not rich and creamy. It was slightly grainy and had a strange little under-taste The spinach was sauteed until it was almost tender. If there was a teaspoon full of bacon on top of the crepes, it would surprise me. The bacon was in tiny pieces(about 3 mm cubes), like you would find in a can of pre-cooked bacon. Crispy, not so much; the cubes were hard and tough. The potatoes were acceptable, but I can make better potatoes at home. They tasted like frozen Ore-Ida potatoes. The meal wasn't bad, it just wasn't tasty. Portion sizes were fine, and the coffee was strong. I love eating crepes at a restaurant, since I rarely make them . However, the next time that I want a crepe, I'll head for LePeep or First Watch. Those restaurants know how to make a crepe with rich and delicious hollandaise sauce..

Probably the best breakfast place in Johnson County
(5)Erin P.
Great breakfast! Athena's greek omelet and the eggs benedict with avocado are my favorites.
(5)Ben N.
First time in KC, found this right next to the courtyard by Marriott in Shawnee just by passing by. I would eat bfast every day here if I could, just for the sourdough French toast alone.
(3)Rachel A.
Amazing food and the staff here was so polite! Just amazing customer service. Definitely going to come back and recommend to anyone going to KC. They also have football on the TV's which is a plus for everyone!
(5)Thomas M.
This was a nice brunch. It was not all that and a bag. The service was pretty good on a slammed Memorial Day. I ordered Eggs that were super good. I like them scrambled soft, and they were perfecto. The bacon was cooked soft as well and very tasty. My grits were by far the low point of the visit. They were absolutly forgetable.
(3)cassandra m.
I'm from San Diego and this place has pretty freakin good eggs benedict. I had the eggs florentine and they were cooked perfectly with fresh avocado, spinach, and tomatoe.
(4)Laurel S.
So this is right down the road from my house and I've never been but I'm really not a breakfast/brunch gal. A friend suggested we meet there for lunch and surprisingly I got breakfast food. It was really good and so dang fast! I got the breakfast sandwich with sausage, egg and cheddar on sour dough. Can't complain. It was pretty great. I think I would come back if I ever found myself wanting breakfast food from a restaurant.
(4)Mary M.
Always reliable for a great breakfast. My favorite is the "Classico" Fast turnover on tables so wait isn't real bad on weekends. Week days are way better. Always have friendly service, they never make you feel rushed even when they're busy & food comes out relatively quick. It's my go-to place for a breakfast out. Nothing too fancy but a nice place, reasonable prices & good selections for personalizing your dish. Not hesitant to go back.
(5)Abbie J.
Took my sister here for the first time while she was in town! I am obsessed with their spicy sausage gravy! This is such a great breakfast place because they have something for everyone!
(4)Eric M.
The premiere breakfast stop in the greater Kansas City metro. You better believe that you won't leave hungry, but you will leave impressed. From the great service, to the egg-centric art on the walls this place matches its ascetic personality with the same energy with its food and service. They have a secret weapon that most breakfast places should have to be consider to be premiere. The bar. It is magic, and the interaction with the staff is not mandatory, but highly recommended. Small talk, big talk, or no talk to pair with the copious options for drinks and personalized menu will be a memory that you won't forget. P.S. If you like home made salsa, try theirs. Made fresh every day, and so flavorful.
(5)Kate B.
Best brunch in the area! Service is always great (Jenny was so attentive and friendly when we were there last with our 8 month old), and food is always made to order - hot and fast - even when the place is jam packed (weekends). My husband is a bacon addict and I am vegetarian, and we both always leave happy and full. My favorites are the Athena omelette, Garden of Eden Frittata, and french toast. We get our coffee to-go so we can enjoy it on the ride home. Go once and you'll be hooked!
(5)Kai C.
We went for breakfast on a Saturday morning and the place was packed. Wait was only 15 minutes though. I ordered the eggs Benedict florentine and a side of pancakes. Good size portions and it was delicious! Smoothies were huge! One of my favorite places to go for breakfast now! Service was great and fast for it being so busy.
(5)Brent G.
Great place. Great coffee and food. Eggs Benedict here is outstanding - some of the best I've ever had. Coffee cups are about the size of your head and filled with great coffee :)
(5)Pam T.
Good food and great customer service! We got our food 15 minutes before they closed and I didn't feel rushed to eat my food and leave :) The menu is pretty extensive though. So, it wouldn't hurt to review the menu before you go if you're not sure exactly what you're looking for. They have plenty of options to choose from :)
(5)Kevin M.
Ok, I'll admit that the breakfast is good, but dang, does everything need to be so expensive?? C'mon it's breakfast food!!
(3)Blair S.
I had breakfast here two days in a row while on a work trip. Very satisfied. It hit on all the things I look for with a good breakfast spot. Good food, variety of options (savory and sweet), good interior and staff that works hard. We had our whole team here one of the days and they were spot on with their service. I had the Despierto Burrito one day, and the breakfast tacos the second day. Both were solid dishes that I would argue are B+ or maybe even A-. They had fresh squeezed orange juice too, which looked delicious. All the dishes our team got looked to be a sizable quantity and no one in the bunch was disappointed. I'd say for sure visit Eggtc if you are tired of standard gross fast food breakfast options.
(4)Matt J.
I eat here almost every Sunday. Great menu with plenty to choose from. Favorite things are the cinnamon roll, ranchero omelet and the finish line omelet. Best place to sit is up at the bar. Plenty of friendly conversation.
(5)Gina R.
Eggtc is just wonderful and always fresh! I bring breakfast and lunch often to my customers and Julie, the Manager, is a pleasure to work with and brings amazing breakfasts...even quiche, crepes, thick perfectly cooked bacon and all the trimmings. Their lunches are great too, I recommend the hot turkey sandwiches or the grilled chicken sandwich on ciabatta bread. The staff is a fun, friendly crew and I always have customers ask me where these wonderful breakfasts and lunches come from...I happily tell them their neighborhood eggtc! They also deliver so it is very convenient and healthy. I like to surprise and delight my customers and eggtc always delivers!
(5)Jackie A.
There was a hair in my to go sour cream container and hair really, really, really disgusts me. So, in lieu of that I will probably not eat here again anytime soon. Food is pretty decent and all, but I'll have a hard time getting past the long, gross sour cream soaked strand.
(3)Michael P.
I've always been a fan of Eggtc, a great breakfast joint that ranks right up at the top with other formidable morning establishments. This particular visit was just as good as others. Local Parisi coffee is always a great start. Our server today was outstanding - she knew all the right things to say but also when to step away from the table to give us our time to chat. Like other breakfast restaurants, Eggtc's menu is pretty extensive. Lots of omelette choices and a few griddle options. Prices are about right - $7.99 for omelettes with potatoes or fruit and choice of toast. I tried the cobb today, bleu cheese, monterey jack, avocados, and walnuts mixed into a perfectly made two eggs omelette. We also shared the pancake special one tres leche pancake. This was one of the best pancakes I've ever tasted. I was expecting a desert style pancake, but it was brilliant. Our dining mate had the belgian waffle. Though a good taste, it weighed about four pounds, a little too dense for what should have been a fluffy waffle. Eggtc fills up pretty quickly the closer you get to 9am. The local cycling crowd can often fill numerous tables and there is frequently a wait outside the door. Get here early to beat the rush. We'll be back to try some more options here or at their other location on Main St.
(4)Kimberly Y.
Our regular neighborhood spot for brunch. I've had a couple less impressive experiences - once we got sticky coffee mugs, twice I got rotten avocado in my omelet. But our good experiences have far outweighed those so we keep going back. There is usually a wait so if you're going for Sunday brunch get there early. 9am is the best time to get in because by 10 there will be people filling the sidewalk outside waiting for a table. The downtown location is great too but this one is closer to home and has easier parking.
(4)Deva J.
I love everything about this place. The food is always delicious and staff friendly and welcoming.
(5)Megan T.
Food is decent, but the entry way hell (especially on weekend mornings) is terrible. The waiting area really needs to be rethought so that people can more easily get in and out. The wait staff is so-so the last few times we've been.
(3)Courtney L.
The husband and I stopped here on our way down to OKC so it was a Friday at 8:30 am. The hostess was friendly, but our server was just so rude. We saw the Red Velvet pancakes special on the board as we walked in, but ultimately decided to split them, biscuits and chorizo gravy and the french toast. Our water and coffee came quickly, but then we waited and waited to order. Now on a busy day I am totally understanding, but I was starting to get irked since the place wasn't exactly crowded. Anyway, we ordered and I said the French Toast first. Then she asked "how many?"... the menu just says "french toast" and a price, so I was thrown off by the question. She repeated rudely... How many pieces of french toast do you want?? I then paused again thinking to myself like whole pieces/halves/huh? and just blurted out 2. I then ordered the red velvet pancakes and got the same question. Well, you know what.... I don't freaking know how many I want. I clearly haven't been here before so some help on how big they are would be helpful. I ordered 2 again and then specified how many biscuits we wanted when I ordered those. The food was disappointingly good. When you get service like this, it makes it easier when the food sucks too, but unfortunately I loved the chorizo gravy. The french toast was solid, but not stand out and I also really liked the red velvet pancakes as well. However, I don't think we will be back. The waitress was just rude, and this place is a hassle to deal with during breakfast hours on the weekend (we have tried to come a couple times before, but its a small parking lot and usually a long wait).
(2)Eric B.
This place always has a line. The wait is generally short and the food is always hot fresh and served promptly with friendly service. I'd recommend the eggs Benny with salmon or southwest Benny. Glad to have this place in Shawnee.
(4)Ann W.
I had been to the other location before a couple of years ago and it was really pretty decent. This place, however, was barely tolerable. Hubby had the vegetable quiche and it was fairly tasty, but he complained that the portion size was too small. I had the omelet special which sounded good, an apple and goat cheese omelet, but it was really very sad. There was literally nothing inside the omelet except for a few little bits of goat cheese. No apple! There were a couple of tiny slivers of green apple on top and a bunch of sauteed red onions. I was hungry, so I ate it, but it was really not good. I could have stayed home and made a far tastier omelet myself. In fact, the next time I think about going here, I will do just that. Hubby and I both ordered fruit with our meals instead of potatoes and we laughed to each other when it was plopped on the table; little plates with a tiny strawberry sliced into bits, three little slices of banana, a tiny bit of old dried out cantaloupe and some grapes that were far past their prime. If I were the owner of a restaurant that delivered something like that to any table, I would be terribly embarrassed. The decor is a bit red for me that early in the morning and the big screen televisions are an unwelcome distraction. The service was tolerable, but nothing to write home about. They had a lot more wait staff on hand than they needed as they were all congregated nearby, yet our waitress was a bit slow on the uptake to process our check. All in all, First Watch and Le Peep both have this place beat hands down. I see no compelling reason to go back.
(2)Michelle B.
The service was good and the food was good. Nothing super special about it but nothing to really complain about. The menu could definitely be a little bit bigger but the crepes dolce were delicious and if you get coffee you get a huge cup instead of a tiny one like most other restaurants offer.
(3)Nicole P.
I love the Main Street location but I live in Olathe so I decided to try this location. I won't try it again. My husband and I wait for 25 minutes in a very cramped, small waiting area (is it me or does NO ONE say excuse me anymore??) We were finally seated and there were lots of tables available so I'm not sure why we waited so long. We ordered on the first visit from the waitress and then waited quite a bit for our food. Once our food did arrive my bagel was burned, my quiche was hard and gross (I ordered the Denver and it was smothered in cheese... Good if you love lots of cheese!) my husbands eggs were scrambled hard (he ordered them soft). The waitress was attentive and they fixed our order but the overall experience was not great and in the future I will drive to the Main Street location.
(2)Eric H.
My wife took me to Here a few years ago and we've been hooked ever since. Today I took my family here and the food was fantastic. I had the Rachero Omlette and my aunt had their version of the breakfast burrito. Both had just the right amount of spices and were very filling. They were a little busy today and it seemed there was only one waitress and she seemed to keep up pretty good once she took our order. If you're in the mood for a nice diner, you've got to check them out.
(4)Long B.
This was suggested by a few friends of mine. It was conveniently located across the street. Walking into the place there was already a huge group of people waiting. Surprisingly the hostess said about 15 minutes until we get a table. The place itself is fairly spread out, red painted walls, a bar with 2 TV's, and on the opposite side an elevated floor to another eating area. I'll get this out of the way.... The service here is horrid. It seems like their employees aren't trained to do what other waiters/waitresses do. Check tables, refill drinks, and make sure that the patrons are taken care of and overall happy with their service. None of those things happened. I won't take too many points from our waiter, but I am 100% sure he's dyslexic. He had written my order down, to later some how forget my order and requested that I repeat it again. It took a bit of effort to get our orders down. Also he did not give us our utensils or refilled our drinks. He was only present at taking our order and then at the end of our meal, giving our bill. He had also forgot that my friend requested that he wanted bacon, to which he never got. Also had put the wrong items on our tickets. I can only give him the benefit of the doubt that it could have possibly been his first day working there. Now the food. I am sure you've been waiting to read this part. The food is EGGCELENT! I had ordered the classico, which had scrambled eggs, 2 sausage patties, seasoned potatoes, and a toasted/buttered English muffin. The orange juice was also freshly squeezed. It could have been diluted a little bit with water, as it was fairly sweet, but great that they would offer that. I don't know of any breakfast places that do that. I made a little sandwich with what I ordered. If you can tolerate horrible service to get freshly made breakfast, it's worth the wait. Perhaps my next visit, the service will improve. I'll make an updated review if that happens.
(3)Sara C.
This is one of our easy go to breakfast spots in KC. I've found the food to always be consistently good and the coffee always hits the spot. I've yet to have bad service here, but they almost are always busy when we come so we always have a wait. They have a large menu to cater to anything someone might be craving. I tend to always lean towards an omelet, which are large and fluffy and stuffed with goodies. Last time we split a pancake on the side and it was really good as well and a single pancake was actually pretty large!
(4)Kris T.
Stopped by for Lunch last Saturday with the family and was very pleased. I had the turkey burger with feta and of course added bacon. The burger was really good, not too dry (which can happen with turkey). The bacon was perfect. I ordered the sweet potato fries and they were pretty good too. The wife ordered the savory crepe which came with plenty of hollandaise sauce. The sauce was yummy, but a bit overwhelming as the crepe was smothered in it. For our daughter we ordered the pig in a blanket with an egg. It met expectations and she loved it...of course. :) The service was great and I'd come back.
(3)Scott M.
Great food spoiled. I have eaten here about a half dozen times in the past 12 months. It never ceases to amaze me at how many times I have to ask my server to go back and get the additional items I have ordered. Missing compote, missing cilantro, missing syrup...all minor, but... The definition of insanity is doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting a different result. A true shame. The place on Main has it pretty much dialed...here...not so much....sad.
(2)Jordan W.
The variety of the food and drink menu was agreeable. Very family friendly which is great for suburban families, but not so comfortable for young professionals not too long out of college. My little group found ourselves seated right next to baby so we felt the need to censor our language a bit. My waffle and oatmeal were good but nothing more spectacular than could be found at IHOP. I found $4 for a bowl of plain oatmeal to be exorbitant. If I'm gonna do brunch in the future then I'm probably going to stick to the Plaza or Westport.
(2)Chris G.
In the mood for breakfast, I started to head to one of my favorite places, Le Peep, but remembered that Eggtc was closer, and I wanted to give them a try. I was there shortly after 1:00 pm, and it wasn't very crowded. I ordered eggs and biscuits. I liked the fact that honey-butter was available. It wasn't the best honey butter I've had, but it wasn't too bad, and I appreciated the attempt. The eggs were average, as were the biscuits (hmmm maybe slightly above average), although they did 'grill' the biscuits, which I like sometimes. The service was good. My water glass was always full (I drink a LOT of water!). I do like Le Peep better; I feel the eggs are better quality. The price was the same as at Le Peep for my breakfast.
(3)Erika M.
I have been here a few times for breakfast. Each time I have been, there has been a minimal wait time. Always less than 15 minutes. Although they are usually swamped when I have been there, the servers try their hardest to check in frequently with everyone. The coffee, vegetable quiche, breakfast potatoes, and pancakes are very delicious! Be warned that if you order the pancakes, they will be VERY generous in size! (The size of the plate!) While they do serve lunch, it appears as though their lunch specific items were much more limited than the number of breakfast items. Yet, they do serve breakfast up until the time they close.
(4)Stuti J.
Went to Eggtc. for Brunch. The Eggs Benedict Florentine was really delicious. French toast could have been better. I loved the warm wall colors and the layout.
(4)Brett O.
The coffee is very good and served in large mugs. My favorite is the primo sandwich, which is really enough for 2 to share. The breakfast potatoes are also very good, with just the right amount of seasoning.
(4)Raquel C.
I come here a lot for mediocre (spelling?) food. Sometimes its good, sometimes its not. Sometimes there is leftover lipstick on the coffee mugs, sometimes there isnt. If you have to eat at Eggtc, take the time and go to the plaza location, its much much better, and more consistant.
(2)Ashel A.
Disappointed in the portions of the daily special omelet. Basically consisted of egg only minus the shepards pie paired with 5 pieces of fruit. You're better off ordering the potatoes as a side. Would not recommend the cappuccino-it tasted like milky water.
(1)BEN K.
Fabulous breakfast. Busy Busy Busy which made service a little slow but the food was worth the wait.
(5)Christopher Thomas B.
I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed. After a frigid night sleeping on concrete outside of Nebraska Furniture Mart, I decided to cap off the night with my favorite meal: breakfast. Hosts were great, we were seated immediately. I noticed the full bar that takes up the north side of the restaurant---which seemed out of place given the 2pm closing time. Perhaps they are catering to the "hair of the dog" crowd. Now, a rather callous rundown of the food and service. Bacon was dry and plastic in texture---reminded me of turkey bacon. Gravy was congealed. Eggs were perfectly over-easy, and there was a good selection of hot sauces, but they made my lady's over-hard, and then forgot to replenish her silverware on the return And most glaringly annoying was our server, who spoke at an inappropriate volume and didn't offer to refill water or coffee until she left the check. Perhaps I was underslept, but I was awake enough to know I was thoroughly underwhelmed.
(1)Kayla B.
After an insanely early wakeup call, I was quite excited to visit Eggtc. since I'd heard such good things about their Main St. location. I ordered the coffee, which was better than your average diner coffee, but nothing worth writing home about. Next up came Athena's omelette with Feta cheese, Kalamata olives, tomatoes, red onions with a balsamic vinegar reduction. The reduction tasted like nothing, weird right? But the rest of the omelette was simply divine. Perfect texture, perfect doneness, perfect balance of flavors. I'd eat it again. The potatoes that came along with it weren't what I wanted, but they were still good. The toast was overly greasy and I didn't eat it. My fellow diners were significantly underwhelmed and disappointed with their dishes, unfortunately. If the review stopped here, I'd give it probably 4.5/5 stars. However, I can't finish my review without mentioning the service, or my server in particular. She spoke so loudly, and so shrilly, I could hear her all the way across the restaurant. And she was complaining to the patrons, which is a huge no-no, in my opinion! Finally, she didn't refill my water OR coffee, until I asked for it. Then she forgot, and remembered a while later. To wrap it up, I loved my food, and was gravely disappointed with the service. Maybe I should try the highly-rated Main St location??
(3)David P.
I stopped here with my family for an early Sunday morning breakfast. The location was quite busy but it only took about 10 minutes for our party of 6 to get seated. The staff was all friendly and served us well. Our waitress was extra peppy and I was tired, so not exactly what I was looking for but it was alright. The food was pretty regular price for a normal breakfast, similar to a Dennys or Perkins. They did have some variety, but mostly what you would expect. The rachero omelette I had was good, nothing too full of flavor though. The decor was pretty lame. I think part of the bar was made out of plywood and spray paint and it looked like crap. The waitress mentioned how the kitchen is very small so they are slow, and the menu even mentioned how slow the food comes. Fix your kitchen or stop making excuses, no one wants slow service unless they are retired. Overall it was average food, service and price. Sub average cooking times and decor. Not planning on making a trip back anytime soon.
(3)Doug C.
Well, I don't know where to find a good breakfast in kc anymore. I had eggtc. once at the near plaza location and enjoyed it but have never been impressed with the new Shawnee location. The wait staff is less than impressive. Silverware rarely clean. The food never to the quality you would expect for the decent location and eggtc name. This eggtc and le peep and firstwatch has inspired the wife and I to just drive to the grocery store and get some good ole bacon and eggs to make at home.
(2)Rebecca R.
We've gone here a couple times for breakfast/brunch and it's delightful. They have many different varieties and there are ample portions of everything. We went at prime time for seating and after a marathon at shawnee mission park so it was packed but there's plenty of sidewalk and they usually have newspapers to read. I believe you can also sit at the bar and wait if there's an open seat. Definitely a place to try if you're trying to avoid IHOP/Denny's :D
(4)Shana S.
We ate here this morning after hearing how good it was from my in-laws. We were there at 10 on a Sunday, so maybe that was the problem, but the service was not outstanding. The hostesses didn't seem to know how long it would take to seat people, and there were a bunch of servers standing around and chatting. It seemed to take longer than other places for Sunday morning breakfast. I got a crepe with spinach and eggs covered in hollendaise sauce. It was pretty good. Potatoes on the side were seasoned well. I thought it interesting that a decent percentage of the place was devoted to the bar. For a breakfast and lunch place, I found that to be unique. They are proud of it though and advertized their "sun-up giddyups" including bloody marys etc. Maybe when I feel like a morning cockail, I will head back again.
(3)P K.
I am surprised to see so many negative reviews. I've always been pleased with my meals there and I've been there many times. Pancakes are just right. Southwest omelet is a favorite. Coffee is pretty good. Prices slightly too high but I will still be a regular.
(4)brett s.
absolute ripoff. Went there with my granddaughter and I ordered 6.99 classico for myself and my 3 year old grand daughter got a kids meal and the total was 19.00 without tip. I had to look at my watch to make sure this wasnt dinner, however it was in fact breakfast at 7:30 am. IDK, maybe they forgot to set there clocks. I wont need to make a note to myself to not go back here, so you dont need to remind me.
(1)L. G.
I was a little surprised reading some of the poorer reviews of this restaurant. I thought that the price here was on par with the average breakfast restaurant, the service was good, and my water & coffee were always full. My meal was prepared quickly and was very yummy. I was also impressed with the manager, because I ordered crispy bacon and when she brought out my plate, she told me that the kitchen was remaking my bacon, as she didn't feel that the first batch was up to her standard. I really appreciated that, because I've ordered crispy bacon at other restaurants many times and then received limp, fatty pieces. All in all, I was very pleased with my experience here.
