My family and I wanted to try something new, so I went to Yelp and found this place near by. We did wait a while, but because it was so busy! However, when we were seated it did not take long to get waited on and to receive our food. The menu is somewhat unique and the quality is 10/10. Service is good and the environment is like a modern retro. Definitely the type of place you would eat at with your family. read more

Love this place and it's a wonderful atmosphere to bring family and friends who come into town. That Classic German Pancake is delicious when eaten right away. Get it with some Apple Filling, you'll be glad you did. It's always a thrill to see their reactions when they bring the pancake out. Hubby and Kiddo love their Omelettes, while I always stick to sweet breakfast favorites with a side of eggs and potatoes. read more

Great ambiance! The service was great. The German Pancake was awesomely delicious! And because it was our first time here, we got a coupon to come back. Bonus! We will definitely ride back up this way. read more

Greasy and bland. Tasteless and not worth the calories. Reminds me of a big chain like a Denny's or Coco's restaurant.

The bomb. Must try for a healthy portioned breakfast. Come hungry leave with some added pounds lol. read more

I've been trying hard to visit different breakfast restaurants, and I couldn't be more happier I stopped in here. We had to try the gigantic German pancake topped with lingonberry. Tasted like a dessert pizza, and I mean that with total compliments. Delicious! We also ordered the Avocado Benedict, and everything that went along with our meals was divine. The bacon....oh, the thick-cut bacon. This may of been the best bacon I've ever had the pleasure of eating, and I'm not exaggerating. read more

Eat here every weekend. Our favorite place. Toady got here with the in laws after hyping up the place. Quoted 30 minutes since we are a party of 5. But was promised they would put 2 smaller tables as soon as they could. After every single party outside got in except for us and 60 minutes later, went in for an explanation. The tables were socially distanced ( a good thing) . The manager, usually very nice, flat out told us that they will not put 2 tables together. If we were told this at the beginning, we would have gone somewhere else. Reason, they couldn't put 2 tables together? Social distancing and other parties would feel uncomfortable. Well, we are actually now sitting 5 ft away from another table with 5 people sitting, 2 friends/ employees and a a manger standing around them talking. I guess it doesn't matter if I'm uncomfortable? Actually, the manager and hostess seemed to be bothered and could care less. Well 1 hour in now and finally got sat. No more wait, open tables after every single party got in before us. One star for always good food. Minus 4 stars for poor handling , lying and in apologetic attitude. COVID, I know. We eat here every weekend but this will be our last. But hey, They could probably care less, right? read more

If you're familiar with Elmer's popular in the PNW, then the menu items will seem familiar and all are delicious. Love the German pancakes (aka Dutch baby). I wish their lunch offerings were more extensive but it's focus really seems to be breakfast. read more

Super clean and nice patio. I wouldn't order scrambled eggs but everything else was tasty. Eggs are like in ribbons and they don't seem fresh. Seemed like they were reheated. read more

Great food and great hospitality. It's not often that you go to a restaurant, let them know it's your birthday and you get a handwritten card. What a great touch! Tried the German Pancake for the first time and it was delicious! read more

My favorite place for Eggs Benedict. The wait was minimal. Service was very good. Definitely a busy place.

Really enjoy this breakfast place. Always seems like great service! I think my favorite is the big German pancake. I highly recommend. read more

Tried Egg N' Joe at the recommendation of a friend. I can tell you it was even better than my friend described. Really, the food was EXCELLENT, and I also want to commend the staff....SO friendly, welcoming and attentive even though they were really busy. Would definitely recommend this breakfast place!!! read more

First visit definitely the last, we asked for crispy hashbrowns first time they came out they were not,second time they came out dripping in oil everything was disappointing from the coffee to the eggs, Denny's is better than here read more

In love with those German pancakes and potato cakes. We stopped at Elmer's in Palm Springs on our way to Arizona and absolutely loved it so much I craved German pancakes throughout our whole trip. I searched Yelp and came across EggNJoe unknowingly. We found the menu items so similar to Elmer's! We discovered then that they're one in the same! The service was amazing! The manager treated us like family and was so kind. She even gave us a coupon! Thank you for making Arizona memorable! read more

I stopped by Egg N' Joe for breakfast on a recent weekday morning... The bright signage and new shopping center looked appealing; I love trying out new places. It definitely felt like a chain, and I learned after a bit of research, that it ENJ is indeed a new concept from the Elmer's restaurant group. While I've never eaten at an Elmer's before, I would guess that my experience at Egg N' Joe pretty much reflects that of an Elmer's. That being said, I had a positive experience... Here are the pros: *Chris, my server, was friendly and mostly attentive *Coffee was decent *Bathrooms were clean *Prices were moderate *They have free wifi I agree with a few of the other reviews that this place reminds me a lot of a Denny's or IHOP. The food was fine but not anything to write home about. My omelette felt processed, unlike when I order from locally owned businesses that use local products. It was fine, but nothing to rush back for. If I do return, I'd splurge and go for the German pancake, and I'd keep my expectations in check as well. This is a place to go for a consistent meal, but I wouldn't suggest it if you're planning on wowing your dining companion(s) or enjoying anything out of the ordinary. read more

My family went there on a Monday morning. It was quite busy. I had Swedish pancakes which were good, but I would rather they use lingonberries rather than lingonberry butter. My other family member liked their breakfast dishes. More creative dishes would makes this spot even better. read more

I hate to give places under 4 stars, but Egg N' Joe really did not wow me! I had been wanting to go here for months and finally tried it out last week. After seeing pictures of the German pancake, I got excited, assuming all of the portions would be quite big, unfortunately this was not the case. That is my main complaint, tiny portions. At least for what I ordered. I got the garden vegetable skillet with egg whites and no cheese, assuming it would be enough to fill me up, or at least I'd get a larger side or something. My skillet was so tiny! Even everyone who I was eating with commented that my skillet looked small! It did taste pretty good, I liked all the vegetables in it and the hash browns. It was not incredible but not too bad. The biscuit was yummy too. There was just not enough to fill me up. I asked to look at the menu again, planning to order a side but there was no side menu apparently? So I just went and got a snack somewhere else haha. Also our server was very sweet but forgot a couple people's things here and there. But she didn't do a bad job or anything, we were pleased. This place is good for light eaters I think. When I go out to eat I want to have a ton of food, so I left a little disappointed, but it was not bad. I like how there is an open feel in the restaurant with all of the big windows, the location is nice. I would agree to go back and order something else, but I'm not quite rushing back! read more

Visited Elmer's in Palm Springs and couldn't wait to come to Egg N Joe in North Scottsdale and it doesn't disappoint. Elmers is known for their German Pancake and so I am glad that Egg N Joe also has it on their menu as well. The new location is located in a shopping center, there was plenty of parking and the restaurant is shiny and new, which is nice, but for anyone looking for that old style Elmer's look, you wont find it here and I prefer the old style, but that doesn't in anyway affect the food which is really good. The menu is large with many choices. Of course I had the German Pancake and my dining partner ordered an omelet. We shared both and that was plenty! The pancake was a bit overcooked on the edges but still delicious and the omelet was also good. The fruit on the plate was very fresh which is nice because so many times at other restaurants the fruit is not good. Take the trip to Egg N Joe, you will be happy you did. read more

A very nice restaurant, with some unique breakfast items. I got the German Pancakes, which were quit different, and the bacon was awesome. Very clean place, and I would go back again read more

I have came here a handful of times so I figured I should leave a review. This place has amazing PNW Arabic coffee. The plates have great portions for pricing and every time I bring someone new they love it. Servers have always been sweet. The hostesses also help out and fill waters or get the door for you. I have nothing but good things to say about this breakfast joint. I have never seen it crazy busy which I like so I can get in; but I really hope they get more business because they deserve it. A diamond in the rough. read more

Only been once but not at all impressed with the savory crepes. CRAZY salty!! I could barely eat half of it. And also soggy crepes. One and done for me. read more

What an aaahhhhsssuuummm breakfast spot. After leaving Mayo for an overnight stay we picked E&J over 4 other sites and happy we did. #1 Staff is friendly and helpful with person w walkers. The menu is full of great choices we went with the German pancake w eggs and sausage, shared and the kitchen split it for us! Coffee is very good. So great service, food and coffee--what better way to start Valentine day plus having the love of your life with you. read more

Great food. I ordered the Saturday market omelet- packed with veggies & cheese - just needed some salt, came with a fluffy biscuit & choice of hash browns or fruit- I opted for the fruit (banana, pineapple & grapes -all perfectly ripe! Big portions (but not too much). Service was wonderful - very friendly and on top of coffee refills. All around wonderful experience! This was our 3rd time here. We rarely eat out and haven't at all since COVID, started so this was such a nice treat. We especially appreciated not being hassled for being mask-free. Nowadays, that's a rarity. I'll definitely be sharing with like-minded friends. read more

This business should be 5 Star. Service, food quality and overall attentiveness to the clients, even open the door with a smile cannot be overlooked. We came twice and got the Crab Benedict and it was 11 stars out of 10. We are Philly / Maryland Eastern Shore people saying this. We never had better French Toast. Restaurant was extremely clean and efficient. Even the GM kicked in and assisted with the overflow. Well done team! You deserve this rating. Marriott Canyon Villas Owner (Desert Ridge Scottsdale). Resort is 5 minutes away from restaurant. read more

I had to try their German pancake; I like trying new things. It was impossible to eat with a fork though. I recommend using your hands as it requires tearing. It tasted too doughy to me; I probably go back to eating regular pancakes. I also asked for no butter but it came out with butter. Otherwise the service was great. I returned another time to try their crepes minus cream cheese. It was delicious. My companion tried their crab eggs Benedict and said it was little on the dry side because it had too much crab...not sure if that's good or bad. We also tried their omelette which was very good. Their portion size is huge, so go hungry. I will return to try their other menu items; they have very extensive menu. read more

Definitely a 5 star experience. Ask for Payton, she went above and beyond and gave friendly awesome experience. The food was amazing.

Good food and excellent service, once seated. Usually have breakfast, but I'm guessing lunch is good as well.

Great breakfast / brunch place up north Scottsdale! Will definitely try this place again, maybe for lunch. Recommend checking it out! Two of us went for brunch on a Saturday. Called at 10:15ish to see what the wait was and we gave our name to the hostess who answered, told her we'd be there in about 20 minutes. When we arrived (on time as we said we would), the parking lot was full, but we still found a stall as soon as we drove thru. There was a good amount of people waiting outside. We checked in with the hostess desk, was given a pager, went outside to wait & not a minute after we sat on a bench outside, our pager went off. (We loved that we could put our name on their list when we called!) Got seated & greeted quickly. Our waitress was friendly and attentive, even though the place was jammin'. Didn't have to wait long for our food and it was yummy! Although, I don't think they're known for their coffee...just sayin'... but we are kinda coffee snobs. Definitely recommend! And will definitely be back! read more

Food is good but a little expensive compared to other breakfast places. Also not enough lingonberries on my pancakes.

They advertise a northwest theme. The Dungeness eggs Benedict was tasty. Portion sizes are above average. They say the hashbrowns are from the Northwest.... Not sure what the difference is. The only major disappointment we had was that the Ivers clam chowder was extremely bland. If you gonna call yourself an ivars clam chowder you need to live up to it.... read more

Average place for breakfast. Nothing special but nothing bad either. A place for quantity but not great. Just ok.

Came here for breakfast. It was busy, but we were seated immediately. There were no surfaces to absorb sound so the dining room can get quite loud. I had the Valley of the Sun Omelette. The salsa really set it apart as well as the generous amount of bacon. The avocado on top probably could have used another day to ripe. We also had the german pancake. It was HUGE!!!!! Like eating a crepe with nothing in it (so not incredibly flavorful on it's own). I would suggest sharing it as a side with your table. Overall a pleasant experience. We also got a coupon for $10 off our next visit since it was our first time! read more

Tried Egg 'n JOE out this morning, a busy rainy Sunday. I called ahead to see how long the wait was and was able to get our name on the list- major score. We were quickly seated and our waitress arrived within minutes to take our drink order, giving us time to look over the menu. The menu is a glossy affair with high quality imagery of many of the dishes. I appreciate that the pictures were professional AND the food actually looked like the pictures. The clean white background made everything pop and easy to find. We both had crepes, the blueberry banana and a strawberry crepe. You get two crepes per order, made with fresh fruit, whipped cream PLUS two eggs and choice of meat for roughly $10.50 per order. It's a lot of food. The food came out relatively quickly, nicely presented, eggs perfectly cooked. The bacon was crispy and not greasy. My only complaint was that the chicken apple sausage was cold. It had good flavor, wasn't sweet like some apple sausage, just could have been hot or at least warm. The menu has a nice selection of omelettes, Benedicts, waffles, pancakes, crepes and other traditional breakfast meals. Egg 'n Joe is doing a nice job turning out food that may be more costly than Denny's, but it really isn't competing in that category. It is fresher and better prepared. We will be back, especially knowing we can call ahead and get on the wait list! read more
