This is a great little hidden gem. If you're looking for something different then a typical breakfast joint this is the place. It has a nice southwestern flair. I got the hatch green chili pork skillet and the wife got the green chili burrito. I believe this is some of the best green chili sauce I've ever had. The pork was tender and juicy and the red potatoes were cooked perfectly and tasted fresh. We couldn't stop talking about how good it was on the drive home and how we're looking forward to going back. read more

I saw this place as a highly rated restaurant n yelp during our trip to Arizona and had to try their Mexican inspired breakfast dishes. They had a great menu for all of our group, adults and children, and the plating of all the dishes was great. We luckily beat the morning breakfast rush and were seated pretty quickly. It is a smaller dining room, and is a cozy spot. The staff was great, and the food came quickly. I would highly recommend read more

This is a super cute, low key spot to grab a bite. I love trying corned beef hash at different spots, and this place has a wonderful version that feels really true to the classic dish. The service was very attentive but also relaxed; ultimately I'd love to go back any time for another delicious breakfast! They had an extensive list of seasonal options that looked fantastic. read more

Food. Service were just right. It felt like a midwestern diner. Nothing flashy. Just good food and fast service.

The food here is always really good. Today was no different. I ordered the California Scramble off the seasonal menu. My son had the hatch chili green pork burrito. I also tried the blueberry muffin as well. It was moist and delicious! It was a bit slower than usual because it was pretty packed but my man Tomas, came through and took our order The light music in the background was perfect! If you are looking for a comfort homey place to eat, I highly recommend this spot! read more

Came here on a rainy day on a Saturday and we got seated right away. The service and staff were fast as it wasn't busy. The food came out hot and was good. Me and my husband both finished our food and were served a good portion. A good place to check out if you don't want to go to a big restaurant type of place. They serve lunch as well. read more

We love the Crowned Egg! The staff are always pleasant and the service is excellent. The food is delicious, and always cooked fresh; they have an expansive breakfast menu featuring both American and Mexican favorites. The restaurant ambiance is similar to a café or diner, it is always clean and pretty busy. The prices are very fair and the coffee is consistently better than good! read more

Came in with my Bestie--her first time here--and it was a wonderful experience. She had the traditional eggs Benedict and I had 2 eggs over easy and hash browns. As has been my experience, service is prompt and pleasant. Our orders arrived quickly, we were checked on by our server and coffee was refilled as needed. There were no complaints from either of us and the prices are extremely reasonable. I totally prefer local restaurants versus chains and will always support their survival. This place gets busy--a testament to their food quality and service. Check them out--they will never disappoint. read more

Food was ok. Been to better breakfast places. I guess I expected more. Was just ok. Service was great. Server was so personable, pleasant and quick. Restaurant was clean. But nothing much to rave about. read more

4/12/25: Short version - it was most definitely not the worst place we have eaten, but it most definitely could have been better. Longer version - The strawberry lemonade tasted like Kool-Aid, with a strawberry or two tossed in; the hazelnut banana crepe had too much Nutella on it for such a thin crepe, plus the crepe was thin, which means it had some crispy parts. Crepes are not supposed to be crispy. My sister's tropical French toast was described as having "cream cheese & mango stuffed..." Neither of us tasted much of the cream cheese, it was more some ooey, gooey, sugary knock-off that did not taste well at all. Usually we are pretty good about eating our leftovers, but I notice the other half of this remains in the fridge ... will likely make it into our compost bin. There was no sign upon walking in (do we wait to be seated or seat ourselves?) so we just walked in & sat. There were a few tables that needed desperate bussing, the decor was decent. It's not a large place, chairs were uncomfortable, but there is plenty of parking. Our server, Perla, was fairly quick so kudos to her, and to the chefs for getting everything made so quickly. But despite this, still probably won't have a return visit, not with so many other superb options for crepes. read more

Local AM / lunch eatery. I let the server know I was in a bit of a hurry. I was served promptly and provided my check early. In and out with a full belly in approx. 30 minutes! I had the skillet with green chili. Eggs were cooked to perfection, green chili was flavorful with a hint of heat. Recommend supporting this local mom and pop shop. read more

Came here for Sunday brunch and was pleasantly surprised to be seated right away. The service was excellent. Our server was friendly, fast, and super attentive throughout our meal. I ordered the country fried steak with gravy on the side, and it was absolutely delicious. The steak had a perfectly crispy crust, and the gravy was rich, flavorful, and seemed to have bits of sausage or bacon that added a nice savory kick. My husband went with the meat lover's skillet, and it was just as tasty, he loved how hearty and well-seasoned everything was. The place itself is really cute and cozy, with a welcoming vibe that makes you want to linger. We'll definitely be coming back to try more from the menu! read more

A friend suggested we meet here for breakfast. It's always fun to try new places. The place was crowded which is usually a good sign. Service was ok, we had to remind them of our coffee refills a couple times, but the staff was friendly about it. The food was pretty good. I ordered the chorizo omelette which was packed with flavor. The hash brown was cooked really well, but a tad on the small side. I would eat here again if I were in the area. read more

This was our first stop for brekkie after dropping off mom at the airport. Sis and I are not morning people, so we needed some sustenance to wake us up and get us back on the road for the drive home. I am forced to leave a star because Yelp won't let you slide without one. However, this place needs to readjust their hours. We pulled up slightly after their advertised opening time of 6:30 am. The lights were on, but the door was locked. The lights behind the door to the kitchen were on, so clearly, employees were inside. Can't give a full rating since we did not get to experience the food at this supposedly Yelp-worthy restaurant. All I know is that we were starving and left after waiting about 20 minutes, and they STILL had not opened when we drove off. Not cool, and I would suggest maybe coming at 8 am because maybe at that time they would finally unlock the door?! Who knows? Go ahead and chance it if you dare. Good luck! read more

My friend and I visited on a Sunday around 9:30am, and we were seated within 5 minutes after wiping down a table. We didn't realize how small the seating area was, so we will keep that in mind for the future as we wanted to linger more but didn't want to hold up a table. This location is more a grab and go quickly type of breakfast location. The food was served very quickly, though the coffee refills were a little too spread out for my liking/consumption. I definitely like 2-3 cups of coffee while dining for breakfast to put a pep in my step. The Veggie Skillet was priced at $13, and pretty comparable to other skillets at other locations. I enjoyed the freshness of the veggies, and I did enjoy a side of hollandaise for $2 to spruce it up. I do wish they had a Spinach Benedict as that would have been what I opted for. All of their Benedicts had meat, so there wasn't a good meatless option to choose from. Overall, the food was tasty and decently priced for a breakfast location. When in the area and wanting a quick dine in and go breakfast, I can see myself returning. read more

We ordered a Tropical French Toast and Country Fried Steak as our meals. Tropical French Toast was stuffed w cream cheese and had 4 pieces to it. It's very filling on its own so we are glad to not have gotten it as a combo. The Country Fried Steak was solid. The hash browns were super crisp but felt like a portion on the smaller side. The steak was tasty and the gravy had a good flavor and texture, I do wish it came w a bit more gravy though. We replaced the toast for the biscuit and gravy and were pleased that the biscuit wasn't dry. The ambiance is very intimate and casual/homey vibe. We came on a Saturday afternoon and had no wait for a table! read more

Food: My partner and I ordered the tropical French toast which had a cream cheese in between 2 slices of French toast. It is topped with grilled mango and coconut shavings. The chicken fried steak was flavorful and I love how crispy the hash browns are. The biscuits & gravy was flavorful and I love the homemade biscuit. Service: Our waiter was very kind and helped us with our meal. It seemed like there were a lot of people who come back often that they even update the workers about life. Ambiance: It's family oriented and the portions are decent. It's clean inside and there's ample parking in the lot. read more

We were in Gilbert for a family wedding recently. We were looking for a good breakfast to begin our day. We happened into The Crowned Egg after searching the internet for breakfast spots. We were welcomed by a very friendly staff! We really enjoyed the fresh brewed coffee and a delicious and substantial breakfast. I had the chorizo breakfast burrito (that also provided me with another breakfast). If we lived in the area it would be our "go to" due to the friendliness, the food and the service! read more

This will be a strange review. LOL This place is very small, definitely nothing fancy.... When we walked in I felt like maybe we should walk out, but the reviews are good. It was surprisingly good. The Huevos Rancheros was amazing. Full of flavor. Probably one of the best we have had. The bacon avocado omelette was delicious too. The food was good but not sure this spot is a place I would revisit. More because of the vibe than the quality of food. If I am going to go "out" and spend $..... the experience matters, right? My husband ordered Rye bread and I asked for a side of hollandaise- we didn't get either one, and we were finished with our food before she ever came back. :( What was really interesting to witness.......... The one gal came out of the "kitchen" and the door stuck, she couldn't open it but less than halfway, because of a high chair blocking it. As I watched her struggle to push through the door, (not carrying anything) she left it that way, and went to a table to take orders. About 2 mins later a waitress tried to come through with a full tray of drinks, as the door unexpectedly (to her) jammed........ the tray fell out of her hands and everything fell to the floor and shattered. Sad it could totally have been avoided, nice way to look out for your co-workers. read more

My wife and I decided to try this place because we've seen reviews of it on different social media platforms. Overall, I was pretty surprised by our experience here and it left me wanting to come back to try other dishes. I would say it was a little busy on the day that we went and I could see that there was a very friendly but busy waitress, working all of the tables, along with one cook. Although our waitress was busy, she was very friendly and she made some nice recommendations for our food. I decided to try their seasonal Benedict while my wife wanted to try the classic Benedict. My wife said that she was happy with her dish, but I was really happy with mine. Instead of English muffins, mine were served on two homemade biscuits. The ambience was pretty nice as far as the overall presentation of the restaurant. It kind of reminded me of just a "mom and pop" place, which is always a good thing. read more

The Crowned Egg - Definately a thumbs up - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

Decided to try out new breakfast place.. Was in the area and saw some good reviews so thought I check it out.. Nice little cozy restaurant with friendly staff... Daikys special and over all prices of the dishes were very good. Ordered the chilaquile with added carnitas (extra $2.50). I got the one with red and green sauce. When I got the dish i was little surprised to see how the chips were presented... Little bit different then way I normally get it from other places.. But the dish was very yummy.. Carnitas was very nice and tender.. Green and red sauce was very good, wish it had some little kick to it. Portion wad pretty big.. I barely finished it. Also ordered the hatch green chilli burrito but tortilla on the side instead of burrito.. Don't ask why but they accommodated which was nice. That dish was also very yummy.. Over all the food was very yummy price was very good, and services was awesome.. I definitely would come back to this place again.. read more
