I've already left a review for Pegah's. 5 stars all the way. But this is about the review that S…read more Feliks wrote about the place. I was directly across the floor from Feliks and her family. Feliks and her family came in and were seated by the side door, next to the coffee and orange juice machines. Feliks said she was in a hurry and wanted to order at that moment, basically cutting in front of two other customers. First off.... Francine is one of the best servers in the place. Always greets with a smile and if you're a regular, you may be lucky enough for a little playful banter from her. Feliks didn't wait 20 minutes for coffee. She waited about 5 or 6 minutes tops. You asked about eggs. She asked how you'd like them and you never answered her. So, when she asked again, you got crabby and condescendingly said, "Scrambled" then asked for another server. There was nothing calm about your offensive behavior, wanting the entire check to be comped. You were the bully!! In fact, YOUR behavior made MY dining experience not so pleasurable, so, thanks for that. It's rare that Nima, the owner isn't there on a Sunday, but even restaurant owners have lives outside of work. Next time you're in a total hurry, try not going out to eat at a popular eatablishment on a Sunday beforehand. Not only will you be happier, but the gals at Pegah's won't have to put up with your shit.

The restaurant must've been between signs, too, as…read moreyou could only see the outline of the old sign on the facade of the building when we went in June 2026. Almost looked like it was shut down, since the windows are blacked out, too! However, once you go inside, it's lively, the people are friendly, and it's a casual atmosphere. Unless you go at an odd hour, expect a wait. We waited around 10 mins at 9am on a Saturday. They have indoor and outdoor covered seating. There are also games for kids to play out front, but it's up against the parking lot with no barrier, so not the safest. Menu is huge, so hard to decide! However, I'd argue overpriced, even by today's crazy standards. Nearly every entree is $20+, which is crazy for breakfast in my opinion! I got one of the few cheaper entrees at around $16, and was disappointed by the quantity, but enjoyed the flavor of the sunrise sandwich. Comes with your choice of meat and one of several sides. Basically a glorified egg McMuffin meal at twice the price. Also got the tabby iced coffee, which was good.

Tucked into the corner of a little strip mall on the east side of Esco I can't imagine how many people have missed or passed it without giving a thought. I've lost track of how many breakfasts we have had at this diner over the years but the one consistent thing is the service is always on point and everything we have tried has been great (except the chicken fried steak which was perfectly average but I am SUPER picky about chicken fried steak). I tend to stick with omelettes but their pancakes and waffles are always delicious and honestly I can never decide if I like the hash browns or home fries more so that is always a last minute decision. It has sucked watching the prices go up but I would be disingenuous if I said I didn't understand that they are dealing with their own suppliers raising prices on them and if they did not raise the prices then they would go out of business. This is my goto breakfast place any time friends and family visit, can't recommend it strongly enough.

First, there will be a line to order at the counter, don't worry, this place has a drive thru, they know how to cook and prepare food quickly. The menu is on the wall, simple, yet something for everyone. I ordered an egg and sausage breakfast with a coffee, my bride a chili cheese dog and soft drinks! (Came out to $21.93) Coffee and soft drinks are self-serve. We found a table and the serve brought our food to us. The food is served on paper plates and plastic utensils (and the server clears the table, there are no trash cans around). My breakfast was as good as a typical cafe style meal, only it cost $10 less. My bride said her dog was great. If you are looking for fresh food that is better than any fast food place this is the place to go. I can't wait to come back and get a burger and fries! Thank you Money Pit

This restaurant knows kids, and I was so appreciative. They even brought one for my 13 year old so she wasn't left out. Drinks - hot (but not too hot) chocolate served in tall mugs with whipped cream and sprinkles. Need I say more? Food - apple pie waffle for kid #1 - delicious! Kid #2- Biscuits and gravy - such delicious sage! We all had some and it was perfect. Kid #3 only wanted sourdough toast, and it was exactly what it should be. Maryland potato casserole- I had asked before ordering if they were large potato chunks (yes), so I knew what to expect. Our waitress let me know I could sub since it was a slow Wednesday morning, but I wanted to try it as nature intended. The ingredients were magic and very well cooked. I just don't like large chunks of potato and never will. The toppings (bacon/mushroom/spinach/onion/hollandaise/Swiss) were perfect and plentiful! Service- exceptional! From treating my kids like humans to accommodating us with an extra plate 'just in case', it was fantastic from start to finish. She knew I was unsure about the potatoes and even followed up to ask if I wanted it remade, which I absolutely did not because there was nothing off at all except my large-chunked-potato-aversion. I wish I could remember her name because she was awesome! Even the other staff nearby were friendly. Good vibes all around! Price - it's not cheap, but it shouldn't be with the quality of ingredients. I am so very tired of paying $100 for a family breakfast that I could make better at home. A true exception at Golden Egg!
