The Egg & I

This is just a less efficient IHOP. With food that isn’t even as good. Service was fine. Nothing amazing here.

The Egg and I is our favorite breakfast spot, they never disappoint, and the wait staff are all so professional and friendly! I highly recommend the Egg and I, I if you want a great meal!

Hello fellow Unilocalers, this review is for the egg and I in grand Junction, Colorado I never been to one, but the girlfriend said it was good so we went here for a brunch type deal, I ordered got my food seems it came out fast enough they weren’t super busy as most of the lunch crowd left but my food was lukewarm and the girlfriends plate was hot, but she had to send it back because the waitress forgot to write down no crepes. But we finished our meal and it seemed our waitress forgot she still had people in her section as we waited 20 minutes for our ticket. If I had to choose between here and a cracker barrel I know which one would be chosen first.

I generally don’t review large chain restaurants, but want to this time because of the waitress.
When arriving at this particular location it can be kind of awkward because of the way the dining room and hostess stand are situated, but the hostess will be back to seat you.
Anyway on to the waitress; a very very minor mistake was made on the omelette I ordered, not a big deal at all — but even so, she went above and beyond to remedy the situation and ensure we will definitely visit again!

Driving from Salt Lake to Denver we stopped at The Egg and I in Grand Junction. Very clean, we were greeted and seated promptly. Our service was great, very friendly and attentive. I had the Huevos Rancheros, with Ranch Potatoes, Green Chili was tasty but could use a bit more on the plate. My wife had the Bisquets and Sausage, unfortunately one of the bisquets were burnt on the bottom. We informed our server who promptly informed the manager, they comped her entire breakfast. And offered to remake her selection, however she declined and requested a Carmel Iced Coffee. Promptly made the iced coffee and apologized once again. So created a positive experience out of an error from the kitchen. Bravo. We travel to Grand Junction several times a year, 8, to see our grandchildren and we will now make The Egg and I our morning half way top. Sorry Pufferbellys you have been replaced.

This used to my go to spot for breakfast but not anymore. Last time I tried eating here with my mom and sister but no one acknowledged us after we sat at our table. Not only were we invisible but the floor was incredibly dirty … needless to say we took our business else where that day. While I’ve enjoyed their eggs Benedict in the past, I don’t enjoy poor customer service.

For a chain, the Egg and I is exceptionally good. Very rich fare, with plenty of options for the Carb seeker, the ‘quasi vegan’, and the Ketogenic style eaters. They work both on and off-​menu. Coffee is ample, and good flavor. If you are on the high-​fat diet, they have heavy whipping cream from the kitchen, with a little convincing of the server needed.
Good quality, a little upscale on price, but well worth it.

I tried The Egg & I earlier this year & was not impressed. I swore that I’d never go back.
This morning, my husband & I decided to give it another chance.
OMG, the food was amazing. The biscuits & gravy was the best I have ever had & I’ve had some pretty awesome B&G at other restaurants. Service was exceptional & we have decided to go there every Saturday now.

Love the omelettes here? My favorite breakfast place! It’s always packed and a bit noisy but the food is so good who cares. I’ve been coming here for years and love the skillet plates and the potatoes. Also the blueberry wheat pancakes with extra blueberries. The service is excellent and the coffee cup is always full.

I LIKE this place! The egg & I was the best breakfast I have had in GJ so far. I am a push-​over for a great classic Eggs Benedict and the Egg & I did not disappoint. Great service and fun staff too.
Wish I had thought to take a pic.
Enjoy

Good food, slow breakfast service.
My wife and I used to come here often on weekends for breakfast. Whether we’d come before 8 or after 11, we always seemed to wait more 30 minutes for our food. This is too long, in my opinion, for some eggs and potatoes at a plate of toast.
Nevertheless, every meal we’ve had has been delicious. No complaints about the food. Just the speed of the kitchen.

My boyfriend and I’ve been here many times, because it is one of the better or best breakfast place in the Grand Junction area. Being from LA, and a flight attendant, I have limitless access to breakfast places throughout the countries, so I was just glad they have this place here. Their raspberry granola pancake is the best. Services are prompted and friendly. Highly recommend to stop by and eat here.

I am a stickler for great service, as I work in a service industry. I cannot say enough great things about the quality of service at the egg & i. I have been here about 7 times for both breakfast and lunch. The consistent quality service is impressive. The food is also amazing! Prices are fair, and the balcony outside is awesome atmosphere for breakfast!

A Great Place & even Better People. Our waitress Jess & the manager really stepped up and took care of us. Flavors are amazing & it has an Awesome Vibe. It was very clean & has an cool local feel. Good Luck to Jess & Thank You :-)

We were visiting from out of town and saw the breakfast and lunch sign as we drove by. Nice selection of breakfast dishes. We ordered a frittata and an omelet which came with home fries. Everything was very good. I have to avoid gluten and I was offered fruit instead of toast, which I appreciated! We would eat there again.

The Egg and I is a very clean restaurant which I like. The salt and pepper shakers were even clean, no greasy feeling from other patrons.
I like drinking out of glassware instead of those red plastic cups you get from other restaurants.
We went for lunch for the first time and I had the Classic Club with side of cottage cheese. The club was very good and filled well with meat. My husband had the Triple Lunch Combo, he had the Sante Fe salad and white bean chili and half a Reuben and all was superior in taste.
Service was great and served with a smile. I would definitely go again. I think management is doing a great job, making sure restaurant is clean and service is good and food quality is outstanding.

I guess this place is good if you want breakfast at an «upscale» restaurant that’s a cut above Denny’s or IHOP, but that’s the only compliment I’ll give.
My basic breakfast of scrambled eggs with cheese, sausage, toast and potatoes was fine, but nothing tasted or was presented much better than your average greasy spoon establishment. Also, their prices are higher. I couldn’t believe they charge $ 2.39 for coffee. Isn’t that a lot? (I opted for water. Ha ha.)
Like other reviewers have noted, the Egg and I has a sterile ambiance, albeit everything seemed clean. I know this sounds horrible, but if you’re an older person with plenty of money who likes a little gourmet flair and you don’t care about ambiance, then the Egg & I might be for you.
Not terrible. Not great either. I doubt I’ll be back. Denny’s is good enough for me.

Had breakfast here with my wife. Eggs Parisian was good, wife had sunrise chili rellenos which she liked. Sat on patio which was nice. Service was good as well.

Second visit with the same results. Cooks can’t figure out the difference between an over easy egg or a brown one that is rubbery. Service good… hospitality is nice… food prep needs work… and that is no bull.

I love the Egg and I… great food, great coffee and a wonderful, friendly staff. I always eat here anytime I’m driving through Grand Junction. Wish they would open one up in Montrose!!!

After having visited other locations, such as Steamboat and Fort Collins, which are very good, I was glad to see The Egg & I come to Grand Junction.
The food is consistently above average and they provide a comfortable, relaxed environment accompanied by mellow classical music and warm colors to put you in the right mood. My breakfast recommendation is the Crab Cake Eggs Benedict, and for lunch, try half a Reuben with a side salad topped with lemon basil dressing.
During the first year in business, professionalism was on par with the Fort Collins locations, but as time has progressed, the service seems to have waned, but I guess that’s the case with most places here on the Western Slope. The communication of the wait-​staff gives the impression that they hire only former truck-​stop waitresses and single moms in rehab.
The location is nice and clean, and very convenient, although the parking area was poorly thought-​out, with many spaces allocated for adjacent business, which draw a fraction of the clientèle. As for the interior, though comfortable and quaint, it’s not unique; it smacks of chain restaurant /​thoughtless architect. I would highly recommend requesting a booth for comfort’s sake, as the chairs inform you that your welcome is over at 45 minutes.
While I have taken a somewhat cynical approach, I have to say that for breakfast and lunch, there are few options in the area that offer a better menu and fresher quality. Yeah, you pay a bit more than you would at Denny’s, but you have to decide what it’s worth to you.

There always seems to be a wait at the Egg & I, but I’m not sure why. The food isn’t bad, but it isn’t great either.

The Egg & I is one of my favorite places to eat breakfast here in GJ. Breakfast is a meal I never skip. The food comes in large portions. The pancakes are SO good and whole wheat even! They have a variety of basic Egg, pancake and waffle meals which I am highly fond of. LOTS of good food– even open for lunch! here is a link to their menu–

I’ve eaten here twice, and I probably won’t go back. I was very excited when they first opened, as this was the first restaurant within walking distance of my home. Unfortunately there was a problem with the service on both of my visits. One time they brought the wrong food and the other time it just took forever for our order to arrive. As for the food itself, it’s good but not great. There is nothing creative or fun about the food or the restaurant. Very corporate. The décor is pleasant but sterile. «The Egg and I» is one of the more expensive breakfast/​lunch spots in town, but the service and food are mediocre at best. I guess my favorite thing about this place is the grammatically correct name.
