    The Great Egg Omelette
    Santanu S.

    Adding lettuce leaves to any entree makes it healthy, right? Well, that is what I told myself while enjoying The Great Egg Omelette. I ended up finishing all of the greens before I took a bite of anything else. That is how much I enjoyed its dressing. With the exception of a baked potato topping, I rarely have a dollop of sour cream on my food, so it provided an interesting flavor contrast. Some other restaurants charge extra for an English muffin. I liked how most of the egg dishes is served with one at not additional charge. Unfortunately, three years later, I still did not like their coffee.

    2 Egg Breakfast
    Syd G.

    Met with a large group in their banquet room on a Saturday morning. So went in with the understanding that it would probably be slow. I was pleasantly surprised at the stellar level of service. We had about 15 in our group and one waitress handled everything like a champ. She got our drink orders and delivered them quickly. Then, she turned around and got all our individual meal orders. So nice to get our orders in 20 minutes. I had the 2 egg breakfast with home potatoes and sausage patties. Great recommendation by the waitress. Good food. A solid four stars performance.

    Patriot waffle, eggs over easy, and ham.

    Food is wonderful and consistent. There is never an issue with omissions or substitutions. Wait staff is very friendly and always happy to get your food just the way you want it. You never have to wait for a refill for your coffee because they give you a pot to refill when you want. Our favorite breakfast spot!!!

    Breakfast Croissant

    The breakfast croissant was so yummy! Owen always takes care of us and makes the experience fantastic. This place has the best vibes, should be called the Greatest Egg!

    They give you the whole coffee pot!

    We stopped in here for breakfast and it was such a great experience! Our waiter Joaquin was amazing! Made sure my tea was always filled even gave me a to go one without me asking! That's great service! Make sure you sit in his section he will make you smile! The food was delicious and the coffee pot stays at your table to you leave caffeinated! Hope you go try them out! Enjoy!

    We stopped in for a quick breakfast when we were in Denton and had a wonderful experience. The service was fantastic!! I failed to get our servers name, but she was young and had her hair dyed blue. She was so friendly and pleasant. I would go back just for the service!! The decor was very inviting, as well. My eggs were cooked perfectly, and my husband loved his omelette. We will definitely be back when we are in the area.

    Undercooked bacon and rotten strawberry
    Mr. P.

    They brought us rotten fruit. There were gnats all over us, and the bacon was undercooked to the point of being unsafe to eat. The waitress was clearly overwhelmed with too many tables; I blame management. My wife and I each had the crab cake Benedict. The crab cake was real crab but it tasted old. When we first walked in we stood around for 15 minutes while the hostess and an old woman (presumably the manager) looked at each other and couldn't figure out how to seat us. It was very odd. The food is cheaply priced, and thus attracts a consistent crowd of elderly folks whose taste buds don't work anymore and don't care what the food tastes like or if it's fresh.

    Create Your Own Omelette-bacon sausage ham and peppers. My fiancé got the Strawberry Banana Waffle in the back. They liked it.

    I've tried the great egg multiple times. Even back when it was called the egg and I. Not the best breakfast place in town but it's definitely not the worst. Pretty decent food and decent prices!

    Veggie Benedict
    Courtney D.

    I ordered UberEats from here and was thoroughly impressed because the food was super hot and fresh still! I even unexpectedly burned my mouth on the coffee a bit because it was so unexpected. I had been here a couple of times before the pandemic, and I can honestly say the food is just as good getting takeout as in person. They packed everything where nothing was soggy and the hollandaise sauce was in a separate container to keep it from impacting the rest of the food. It was my first time ordering the veggie benedict and it was an amazing amount of food with plenty of artichokes, spinach, mushrooms, tomatoes, and asparagus on top of a toasted english muffin. The eggs were just right, and I loved the consistency of the hollandaise sauce. The potatoes were, also, a nice portion. So, I will definitely be ordering this dish again!

    We recently visited the Union Bear in Denton, we had been to the Frisco/Plano location before but…read morewe really like the quaintness and decor of the Denton location. Our server Daisy was AWESOME! she was super friendly and very knowledgeable about the menu. Especially in giving good recommendations when we were between items. We got the pretzel bites to start, which were really good! The salad with blackened salmon on top and I forget what they were called but similar to a "dynamite shrimp" type dish were both really good too! Drinks were also great (my husband got a few different beers all of which he said were nice! He drinks mostly IPA drinks and is super picky so for him to find good beer is saying alot! I had a few different cocktails all of which were super refreshing on the hot day it was) we would recommend anything to eat or drink from there for sure! Next time you go be sure to ask for Daisy, she will greet you with a smile and make sure you have a wonderful experience!

    Someone mentioned it was the best burger in Denton, and since I don't remember it being the best…read morewhen I ate here before, I decided to give it another try. My partner in food wanted to try the King Kong against my better judgment. Looking at the photos, it didn't appear conceivable - to make matters worse, he wanted it to go! It came deconstructed. Four HUMONGOUS beef patties and probably a whole pound of bacon and beautifully melted cheddar. The bun was questionable, mostly because it was nowhere near enough bread for all that meat, but I get it, in a challenge situation, I wouldn't want to load up on bread. The patties were well seasoned and firm. I would have preferred medium, but since I was sharing, well done was fine. Not over done and still juicy. It also came with a container full of steak fries! I admittedly put a hurting in the fries, dipping them in the house ranch mixed with the jalapeño ranch. I wanted the fries to be crispier and the ranch to be thicker, but they were delicious nonetheless!! So how much of it did we finish?? I finished one patty with out bread!! My partner finished one and a half patties with sandwich bread. The bun got designated to my leftover patty. Tomorrow's lunch will be a single patty burger with half a pound of bacon!

    We stopped by RG Burgers hoping for one of those hidden-gem burger spots, but overall it was just…read moreokay. The food looked great when it came out -- generous portions and nice presentation -- but the flavor didn't quite live up to the visuals. The burger patties were cooked through but a little dry, and the seasoning was pretty mild. The mushroom and onion topping added some flavor, but the bun felt a bit soggy halfway through. The cheeseburger was fine, but nothing that really stood out. The chili dog had plenty of chili and cheese on top, but the chili itself was a bit bland and heavy. The fries were thick and crunchy at first, but cooled off quickly and lost their crisp. They tasted more like frozen fries than fresh-cut. Service was polite and friendly, though the wait for food felt a little long considering it wasn't busy when we came in. The place has a laid-back, old-school diner vibe, which is nice in theory, but the inside could use a little refresh. It's not bad if you're nearby and craving a burger, but I wouldn't go out of my way for it.

We walked into the unassuming interior and were surprised to discover a very limited menu, starting with a burger and only a few Italian dishes.

We came here for an early dinner after the show at the planetarium. Seriously get the burnt carrot. It's $10, for 1/2 of a carrot, but no joke, it's worth it. The chicken pesto entree was okay, but they used some other herb besides Basil in the pesto that is just not my jam-- dill maybe?, chervil??-- I dunno, but it threw off the flavor for me. That said, the cutlet underneath was very crispy and all the bites without the pesto were delish!. I have heard raves about the burger, so maybe that is worth another shot?? The service?, not stellar, just bored and unenthusiastic at the counter and s-l-o-w from the kitchen. The carrot came out quickly, but the cutlet took about 30 minutes after that, and the place was nearly empty. And, sorry to mention this part, the bathroom was filthy. I try not to correlate a dirty bathroom with a dirty kitchen, but it's difficult to reconcile.
