    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.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    Whole-Wheat Pancake
    Hong M.

    Searching for a brunch spot without a long wait on Sunday, I called and got on the list expecting roughly a 20 minute wait for a table for 4. Upon arrival, we checked in and sat on the benches out front. Seeing so many others waiting to be seated, we were skeptical that we'd be seated in the cited time. We were delightfully surprised when we were called a short time later. Our waiter was prompt and friendly, with our drink orders and our meal. Portions were good and the food was hot and satisfying. Atmosphere was comfortable and perfect for brunch. Glad we didn't wait an hour to be seated at the places up the road.

He had come here several times with a couple of his friends from college and said I needed to give it a try. I ordered biscuits and gravy and it's not like your typical biscuits and gravy. It just has way more flavor than you would expect. I sampled a few other various items off the menu and everything was outstanding. The staff is very nice and courteous and it's just a cozy little place to go and get some food. It's also very clean inside and it's one of these businesses that if you're not paying attention, you'll just drive right past. It's kind of hidden out of the way, but it is definitely worth going. It's not a huge restaurant and I didn't have any trouble finding parking. It also wasn't very busy at the time that we went so I would imagine it will get busy with the breakfast or lunch rush but both times that I've been it's been really nice. Highly highly highly recommend visiting this at least once and trying it

I am gluten free and they had a binder with a special gluten free menu inside that I ordered off of. I got the Migas (minus the hash browns and tortilla chip strips because there isn't a dedicated frier) they were so good and the staff was kind of enough to replace my hash browns with a side of fresh fruit so it was still a filling meal. I would recommend this place to anyone in the area looking for a tasty lunch/breakfast.

There are corn cakes, for those eating gluten free, if you're still wanting pancakes. They're decent. The cinnamon rolls are huge, & not a typical cinnamon roll, as they're made from scratch. Covered in icing! Biscuits are layered, & delicious. French toast is really good, but it's also the same dough used for biscuits, so it isn't like your normal slice of bread French toast. The coffee is from "Avoca," a local roaster in Fort Worth. Sooooo good. Lot of options for the fancy coffee drinkers, at the coffee bar BTW Prices: about $10-20 a plate. Pancakes are pretty big, so you will be full. Everything is reasonable for portion size, compared to price Environment- hipster. Open, can be loud if music is loud, making everyone else talk louder Service- you walk up to the register & order. Menu is on wall, as well as some handheld menus if waiting in line. So you don't have anyone coming to your table, everything is self serve, which is great I used to come here weekly, every Friday morning lol it's well worth stopping in and trying. Only issue I've ever had with it is parking, if it's during a crowded time lol
