Incredible atmosphere & great food. I am biased because I went to Egg & I when I was a kid, i got inspired by their artworks and unique dining areas which always made me want to keep coming back to Egg & I. I have not been to this location since I was very young and it is safe to say the food tastes even better than what I remembered and I brought my boyfriend here who also went as a child. Food came very quick and no wait to be seated even though it was busy. We were...

This place will always be part of Hamilton's heart. You can't go wrong with this place. It's a classic brekkie diner!!
I gave it a 4 star only because my bacon in my BLT was over cooked. And if I could guess, wasn't freshly cooked.
It had only a tiny piece of lettuce and a nice slice of tomato. Unfortunately I have had better BLTs at other locations. Won't stop me ever from going back there. I'll just get something else next time.
