The food is amazing, and it has been like that for many years. But the best part when it came to the employees, and I mean everyone, was smiling and very accommodating. They looked like they enjoyed their jobs, and this made the experience so much more enjoyable. What a great spot to eat. Thank you to everyone who works there. You have made regulars out of my wife and I.

Delicious Breakfast and Outstanding Service! My recent visit to Egg N I was nothing short of fantastic. The breakfast was absolutely delicious—everything was cooked to perfection, fresh, and full of flavor. What made the experience even better was the incredible service. Our waitress was attentive, friendly, and made us feel right at home. She went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed.
If you're looking for a cozy spot with great food and even better service, I highly recommend stopping by Egg N I. I'll definitely be back!

The Egg & I locations are both historical and iconic. I have enjoyed eating breakfast and brunch here for decades. Priced well and delicious every time I can’t suggest eating here with your friends, family or your thoughts.

Be wary getting anything with spinach on it. They should put a giant disclaimer that they use frozen spinach. Completely ruined the eggs Benedict I had. You’d think a restaurant would use fresh ingredients but I guess not.
