The Good Egg – Uptown

Love the classic French and skillet of seasoned potatoes. Also try the hot sauce on the table.

This location is closing. It has been my favorite place for breakfast. Staff is friendly and takes good care of us. I normally order egg whites and turkey with bacon bits and fresh avocado. The have good breakfast potatoes or fresh fruit. We will miss the restaurant

So sad. It’s a Thursday, late morning. I walk in and the woman at the front, presumably the hostess, is on the phone. Only one couple is ahead of me to be seated but there was about 4 parties waiting to check out. Im starving. So I sit myself at the «bar». A gentleman comes over after about 3 min to bring me a menu and beverage (water). About 10 min later someone takes my food order, and fills my water. Someone (female) goes behind the «bar area» at least twice to clean up and collect condiments, trash, and dishes without asking to fill my empty water. My food comes out about 10 min later. It was hot and very good. Not good enough to go back and wait for though. Never got a fill on my empty water. And
«the bar» is very awkward to sit at while eating. My plate was so far away from me. I read a sign they are closing, so good thing.

The atmosphere here is very nice. Not sure what the building was prior to becoming a restaurant, but it’s pleasantly decorated. And the food quite tasty. This is my first visit to The Good Egg and I will have to keep it in mind for future breakfast visits.

I took my gf here for breakfast because we (I mean she) didn’t feel like cooking. We got in and waited about 20 minutes which was fine. My gf ended up ordering the eye opener and I got the crepes. When we both tasted the pancakes they we a little sour, so we asked our server if she knew about the freshness of the mix. She apologized and said they weren’t suppose to taste sour so she offered to have them make something else. My gf decided French toast was fine. When she got the French toast, it was 1 piece of thick bread with hardly anything in it or on it. Do you usually get just ONE piece of toast???
Anyway when we got the bill nothing was discounted, I feel like they should have.
We will be going to other locations.

I’m trying to think of a superlative I could possibly use here, and the only thing I could come up with is «exceptionally mediocre.» The Good Egg isn’t doing anything exceptionally wrong, but they’re doing exactly nothing right.
The food is bland and unhealthy. The price is cheap but not a bargain. The service is mediocre to poor. The interior looks like it hasn’t been deep cleaned in a decade or two.
I guess all the innovative, intriguing food options in Phoenix has me feeling entitled to excellence. Mediocrity just isn’t cutting it for me anymore, and this place is the epitome of mediocre.
Edit: Went through the reviews and there are a whole lot of very similar, very suspicious looking four-​star reviews, and a couple of obvious 5-​star reviews coming from employees. Seems suspiciously like something a failing business would do to manipulate their Unilocal rating upwards. Pathetic, so I’m bumping this from a generous 2-​stars to a well-​deserved 1.

This is my go to place for breakfast while in scottsdale. The banana and pecan pancakes are the best. Service is friendly and efficient. You really can’t go wrong here.

Great food and great service. I will definitely be coming back here in the future. Although, you have to watch your step, but its not a deal breaker.

Quick and Easy place with a Quick and Easy Review
Neighborhood restaurant… great family place.
I take my girls here when we want to have something fun other than my Dr suess inspired green eggs and ham or cereal. My eldest got the french toast with a side of their well prepared bacon… yummy! My youngest ordered off the adult menu as well but got a simple plate of scrambled eggs bacon and toast with jam. As for my, I ordered an all white egg crêpe filled with mushrooms, spinach, broccoli, turkey, garlic and cheese! How can you go wrong… you can’t!

The Good Egg has reasonable food. It isn’t amazing, but it’s not bad. Prices are pretty reasonable, too.
This location has lots of parking since it’s in a shopping strip. Inside, the décor is a little dated, but I think that’s a common theme for breakfast restaurants. The manager is very friendly and attentive; I think some of the servers should take a cue from him and try to do the same.
French toast are big, loaded with cinnamon, and tasty. Bacon is nothing extraordinary. Veggie omelet is a reasonably good, healthy option. I like the breakfast potatoes, even if they are a bit plain.
This isn’t my first choice for brunch, but it’s a pretty good, simple backup.

The good egg used to be my absolute favorite breakfast place, but they got rid of the snickers and Oreo pancakes! What a bummer. My other old favorite, the la vida loca omelette, has also changed and is now called the Wild cat… what’s that about? This is sun devil territory! The service was fantastic, and the food was great, but not as amazing as it used to be. I would still choose the good egg over restaurants such as IHOP any day.

The food was amazing, good prices, service, and music. Plan on going back there very often. It’s a great place to have breakfast or brunch. They do close at 230, so make sure you wake up early and get some food (:

I decided to come here on a Sunday Easter morning of which I thought there would be a long wait. Fortunately, there was not and we were seated within 5 minutes. While waiting, they offer water, tea, and coffee (at no charge). We get to our seat and we were greeted with a friendly server. I ordered the special — California scramble — eggs, bacon, onion, and avocado on a skillet with a fruit cup. It was quite tasty and I definitely enjoyed it. The fruit was good and fresh. The atmosphere is like a Denny’s, family friendly and not trendy whatsoever. Parking was good as I parked close to the See’s candy shop.

Best food staff and place will continue to come here every weekend. The add in for only $ 1 for any type of pancakes n $ 2 for French toast is so great!

Always a positive breakfast lunch restaurant centrally located in Phoenix.
Generally order one of the omelettes which are always made to order with potatoes and toast.
The orange juice is fresh squeezed and awesome.
The restaurant is a nice place where it allows you to sit and talk at your own pace. They set a very pleasant atmosphere where there is not loud music or people talking so loud that you can not hear your own friends across from you .
Will keep on coming back as long as they don’t continue to do what they have always done

This place knows breakfast. The ‘egg-​crêpe’ with egg whites, «spicy» (although not over the top) was GREAT! A perfect, hearty breakfast served in a friendly atmosphere.
And, the OJ was FRESH SQUEEZED!
My associate had Eggs Benedict and also was impressed.

My husband and I visited The Good Egg on Cambelback Road five times since arriving in Phoenix on Saturday 6÷7÷13. We also brought some of our staff as well as locals. We Always had exceptional service and wonderful food! Our waiters and waitresses asked if we had any problems and were attentive to our needs. As for the NASTY review you received, if you have a problem any couldn’t get the response you were looking forward from the waiter, than you ask for the MANAGER. Simple as that. We look forward to another great breakfast before we leave Phoenix tomorrow.

My boyfriend and I went on a Sunday around noon so of course a 20 minute wait was to be expected. No complaint there. The complementary coffee and creamer was VERY nice to have in the waiting area.
We were promptly sat by a nice hostess who still took the time to ask how our morning had been. Service was wonderful. Autumn was excellent! Happy, nice, fast and met all of our breakfast needs! My omelette was perfect with a yummy fruit cup on the side. My boyfriend got the amazing breakfast special, the bananas foster. YUM! And only $ 7?!! Needless to say, we left satisfied and full. Autumn even got me an ice tea to go! Victor was the finishing touch on our first time experience at this location. He asked how our breakfast was and made sure we left with a smile and made sure we’d be returning. Its not very often you get such breakfast service as this! Keep up the great work guys!!!

I know it’s a chain, but it lit up my Unilocal choices and I knew that this was the place to catch my Phoenix breakfast. They have a huge menu and it took me a little bit to decide. I really wanted the Eggs Benedict, but detoured slightly and had the Sunrise Benedict instead. They replace the grilled ham with grilled sliced turkey and top it with a few slices of avocado. With a pile of country potatoes on the plate, it was AWESOME. I was stuffed all morning for sightseeing in the Valley of the Sun.
Free wifi worked well.
Tip: Try and sit in the solarium area. It’s only a view of the parking lot, but it’s much sunnier than sitting deep in the restaurant.

They have free wi-​fi. Yes! I usually eat here when I don’t feel like cooking breakfast at home or before hiking with friends.
I’ve always had good service here and I don’t know why people are hating the place. Our service has always been pleasant and food is good. I love that they have Stevia sweeteners instead of that dangerous pink aspartame stuff.
This place is now called «The Good Egg», so maybe the bad ratings are from the Eggery.
They now have Hazelnut coffee which is great and they have stamp cards for frequent guests.
My friend Sage has already gotten 4 free breakfasts here ’cause they are so easy to accumulate and the breakfast prices are reasonable.
I think people need to give this place another chance. It’s no longer called the Eggery, so maybe the rude waitress is gone.
