We try a new breakfast place every Saturday and Sunday. We stopped by this place for breakfast on a Sunday morning . The place had maybe 5 customers and was empty but they sat us in a corner and ignored us for most part. The wait staff took some time to show up and take our order and the food took long to come out. The food was ok but the staff was not friendly and would ignore us when we tried to get their attention. This place does not make one feel comfortable sitting there. We will not be going back there read more

I've eaten here three times in the last week and had a great time doing it!!! Excellent selection of breakfast dishes that are well made, and usually delivered to your table in a short amount of time. -good staff -very clean -good selection -coffee service includes personal thermos of coffee Not my everyday breakfast location but I always enjoy my meal read more

A good choice for breakfast. I have been here a couple times and both times been happy with my selection. I recommend the eggs benedict. You will pay about ten dollars a plate. The kids menu has many selections the children will enjoy. read more

I'll get the egg puns out of the way first. I was eggstremely eggcited when the wife seggjested we eat at a new place. This doesn't happen much so I jumped on the bandweggon and egg egg egg. It's lunchtime and we just got out of church. The weather is nice - 70's and the wind is blowin' somethin' fierce outside. We would have asked for outside seating had it not been for the wind and once we sat down inside, we should have. For whatever reason, it was rather warm and humid inside and our waiter was sweating bullets but even so, he was super nice and helpful. Looking over the menu, each category of food has an egg icon to help you. The drinks have an egg with an umbrella. Or the pancakes and waffles have eggs sitting on a pancake. It's a nice touch. So the food. We look over the menu and the wife says, "Dude, *one* pancake is almost $5." We ask the waiter and he says, it's a big pancake roughly 10-12 inches in diameter. Yeah, it's about the size of 3 IHOP pancakes. I get the "Flapper" and it comes with one pancake, two eggs and 2 bacon or 2 sausage. I got one of each. It was delicious. I do have an affinity to pancakes so anything drenched in syrup is going to taste good and this was not an exception. The bacon was cooked perfectly - you know crisp, but still chewy, not brittle and not soggy. The sausage was good, but not perfect like the bacon. The whole meal was a little more than enough and just what I wanted. After consulting with our waiter, the wife gets the breakfast sundae and two eggs on the side. It's a parfait of fruit and yogurt and granola. She seemed to like it a lot. I'd go here again. It has a bunch of different breakfast and lunch foods so there are definitely other things to try. The check was just under $19 before tip. We almost always get water to drink. Of course, after paying, they bid you farewell with "Have an EGGcellent day!" Wahhh wah... read more

My place for Breakfast and take out. Nice ti sit and enjoy a cup of coffee along with a delightful breakfast.

Very extensive menu to chose from. Something for everyone. I had the Greek veggie wrap and it was pretty darn good (even as leftovers). I would love to go back and try their breakfast sometime. I was with someone who had a child with certain food allergies, so it was tough for her finding something for her baby. The waiter was extremely helpful (and patient). The inside has this old diner feel, which I love. I'm a fan for sure. read more

Good, friendly Service, but the food is not First Class - just alright. But simplicity & consistency is what folks go there for. Wouldn't return myself. read more

Awake - Take-out! For guests. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Carrollton, Texas

I've been here several times and they don't disappoint! The food is always really good, and the staff is friendly. The wait can be a bit long on the weekends, but that is to be expected with such a great brunch spot. We've gotten their pancakes, sandwiches, salads, eggs Benedict, and French toast. We've loved it all and enjoy visiting as often as we can. Highly recommend this place! read more

Excellent location and great restaurant. I have been to this location several times. Everything tastes great. Last visit to this restaurant was Sunday, 3-15-2015 about 12:15 pm. Though the restaurant was extremely busy, service was excellent and fast. We waited about 10 to 15 minutes to be seated. I ordered the Belgian Waffle from the "Favorites" list. The food was excellent - this waffle is really good! However, I do think The Egg and I restaurant chain should consider changing how this meal is plated. The waffle, the eggs, and the bacon are all served together on one large platter. So the first decision the customer has to make is "Do I really want my eggs and bacon in the syrup?" My answer is a resounding NO! So I decided to very quickly eat the eggs, hoping the waffle would stay warm. The bacon, I put on the top edge of the platter, out of the way of the syrup. The waffle did stay mostly warm. The reason I did not ask for a second plate was that the waiter did not return to my table to ask if everything was okay. I tried to get his attention but failed. As mentioned, the restaurant was extremely busy. So, dear restaurant chain, why don't you serve this as you do the biscuit and gravy platter? With this platter the biscuit and gravy are in an additional bowl centered on the platter. This is presumably to keep the gravy from getting on the eggs or the potatoes. I personally wouldn't mind so much about gravy on my potatoes or maybe even on the eggs. So if you're so careful to keep those items separated from gravy (which doesn't run nearly as much as syrup), why aren't you concerned about keeping the eggs separated from syrup? Please consider changing the way the Belgian waffle is served and get five stars. read more

This is the best breakfast spot in town! The food is amazing and there's lots of variety to choose from! Service is also A+! The General Manager, Curtis, runs his restaurant with superior standards and has all the staff working as a united front to make sure everyone is taken care of and your food arrives hot and exactly the way you ordered it! He always has a smile on his face too! The owners run their restaurant with eggceptional integrity and treat their employees like family and with respect! Most importantly, the food, location, and service are the best around! I definitely reccomend trying them out! read more

This I is the best breakfast and lunch place I have eaten in. The manager and waitstaff go overboard to welcome you. The food is always cooked properly and is delicious. read more

My wife and I visited today for Brunch and the food was great! Everything we tried was delicious. The service was awesome our server was Jonathan and he was very courteous and nice! Will definitely be back! read more

I really wanted to give this place 5 stars, but you've just gotta blow my socks off to get that rating. I ate here for the first time this morning. The menu was pretty exciting, fairly extensive and catering to BOTH types of breakfast lovers...those who want dessert for breakfast, and those who like some savory substance. I ordered the huevos rancheros, primarily because it came with pork chili verde...perhaps my favorite substance on the planet. I mention this first because it was the only disappointing part of the experience...it came on a flour tortilla (should be corn to stay traditional, but whatever floats your boat!) and the chili verde had a canned flavor and the porn had a canned texture. (I'm guessing this means they get their chili verde in a can.) The potatoes on the side were absolutely superb...crisp and flavorful without a trace of grease. Maybe the best "home fries" I've found anywhere! My partner ordered the fall special...pumpkin pecan waffles. Being a fairly advanced home chef myself (I've been on national TV for cooking) who is particularly obsessed about cooking with pumpkin, I was COMPLETELY blown away. It's as if someone had crammed an entire pumpkin pie into a waffle iron...the flavor and texture were quite simply astounding. Nothing like a waffle...and yet obviously a waffle. My partner ordered their signature turkey sausage on the side, and it was also a total surprise. Exceptionally moist and fatty for a turkey sausage, perfectly seasoned, and one of the most delicious breakfast sausages I've EVER eaten. The coffee was served in a refill-yourself carafe on the table, but unfortunately BOTH carafe refills were lukewarm. The coffee was good...we had the Rainforest Robust blend...I just would have preferred it to be either hot or iced, not tepid. We sat on the patio, which was nice...albeit a bit alarming looking across the parking lot at one of the largest mega-churches in the world. Overall, a superb restaurant with a great menu...just avoid the Tex-Mex side of the menu! read more

Good food, generous servings, high quality ingredients - only complaint is the restaurant is very loud so the atmosphere left something to be desired. read more

Fresh clean look and good environment. Got the corned beef hash and it wasn't bad or great. I was still satisfied and enjoyed my meal. Won't be let down with a visit. read more

I love this place. Great food & service, you can't go wrong. Breakfast is always amazing, everything is delicious. My own thermos of coffee, you can't go wrong! Lunch is great too, homemade soups are incredible. Private room you can ask for if you have a large group, free of charge and has a big screen and projector. Really awesome neighborhood spot. Ask for Ariana, she's an awesome server!! read more

Ate here last Saturday on a rainy morning and barely had to wait more than 5 mins for a table. We had great service and the flavored coffee (hazelnut) was good. They also offer low fat skim milk in addition to half and half etc, so that made me happy. Hubby had the wheat pancakes that were bigger than my head, with fruit in them, they were delish. My plate was turkey sausage, 2 eggs, and an english muffin. Had to send the muffin back because it was soaked SOAKED in butter, but the waittress gladly brought me another toasted no butter one in a jiffy. I also soaked the oil/butter off the plate before I started eating it, but I can't complain because we're not at home and therefore I really can't always make sure it's exactly the way I want it prepared. Great place if you don't want to make breakfast, good service, cozy interior and close to our house. We'll be back! read more

My wife and I ate here on a Saturday morning. There was about a 15 minute wait, which gave us hope that the place was good because it was popular. Unfortunately, compared to other breakfast places near us, this place was o.k., but not "very good" or "excellent". They offer a wide variety of breakfast entrees: skillets, omelets, frittatas, pancakes, waffles, french toast; plus lunch sandwiches. We ordered pancakes and french toast with bacon and eggs. My wife likes her eggs over-easy, and they arrived too cooked. My scrambled eggs were a bit rubbery, but o.k. I didn't like the fact that my French toast had a strong cinnamon taste - but it was acceptable. Other issues were that it took quite a while to get our food, once ordering - more than at other popular breakfast places we frequent. All in all, it was an o.k. experience, but not exceptional; and not as good as other places near by. I doubt we will be back. read more

Had the Baja tacos. Tasted good, but the chorizo is very mild and the picante is Pace, which is disappointing. This is Texas where no self respecting restaurant doesn't make its own picante. Service is polite and quick. Coffee is decent. Prices are fair. Will definitely come again. read more

Second meal at this same location. First time ordered the Corned Beef hash. Today I ordered the Eggs Benedict, traditional, with the breakfast greens, very non- traditional. Both meals were excellent. Better yet, the portions were the perfect size. Full disclosure: I was doubtful about the breakfast salad. It paired nicely. It's a very basic assortment of greens with a house vinaigrette but the Eggs Benedict is complex enough. Especially after being doused with the Egg and I Sizzlin Hot Jalapeño Pepper Sauce, which I recommend. The Egg and I is a very good brunch option that I recommend to all breakfast enthusiasts. Really good food with a simple presentation. read more

First my cup was dirty and then there were ants on the wall. Never will I go back. Absolutely disgusting.

Decent coffee. The Eggs Benedict was okay but the Canadian bacon was tough and thin and a bit overdone. My wife's pancake was good and their sausage patties were outstanding. The service is prompt and friendly. All in all, a decent place but a little pricey. read more

The food is gross, i am a cook myself so I am a food snob. No flavor, and uncooked veggies in my omelette ugh! Even my husband and my 9 yr old who are not picky eaters where very unhappy and didn't bother to finish their plates. Great customer service but they need new cooks. Definitely a waste of my money and time :-( read more

Had another great experience at The Egg & I but this time it was more then the good food it was the service. Courtney took care of us outside when the inside was slammed with customers. We avoided the rush and she took care of us with an approach as if we were family. I will always request her when we come here. read more

Food was good. Service was quick and friendly. Great place to grab a quick bite to eat for breakfast!

I checked out this place for lunch this past weekend and was impressed. I can tell they are kind of new because there were a few flaws, but the food was amazing and more than made up for it. I ordered the Triple Play with a cup of homemade soup (white chicken chili) with half an arizona turkey sandwich (no avocado) and a house salad. The food seemed to take a really long time and they weren't packed so I didn't quite understand the delay, and while I was waiting for my food I noticed that my fork wasn't exactly sparkly clean. No big deal I just asked for another one when the waitress stopped by. When our food finally arrived my sandwich had the avocado I had asked to be excluded so I had to send it back. It was worth the wait when I finally got my food. The salad was fresh and crisp, the soup was FANTASTIC and the sandwich was pretty good for a turkey sandwich. I saw lots of breakfast-y things passing by our table and everything looked great. I'm sure I will be back here soon. read more

I've been to the Egg and I a couple of times. I always order the chicken salad sandwich. I think they have the BEST chicken salad sandwich ever. This place is a great substitute for IHOP. It's Million times better. The prices are low and you the servings are big. read more

A great place for breakfast! Went here for the first time last Saturday with my wife and a friend. We had a variety of things; my meal was an eggs benedict with crabcakes in lieu of the muffins. I had a bite of waffle that was good. Everything was great and we look forward to coming back and trying more stuff. I would not be surprised if this place eventually earns five stars. read more

me and my friend were hungry so we went to eat here the chocolate milk was pretty good BUT i ordered the pancakes and it came with eggs and sausage anyways my friend noticed that someone took a bite out of my sausage that's really nasty and the food wasn't the great overall not the best place to eat read more

1st time here. Friday 1030am and this place is packed. Honestly - service sucked. But the logistics were off. If you seat 10 tables at the same time for the same waiter/waitress, it's going to be a drag. But the waiters, waitresses, hostess, managers were hustling in and out of the kitchen (I was seated right next to the kitchen). It was busy, but I did not feel rushed, and I still got out of there in less than an hour after finishing a chapter or two from my current read. It took awhile to order. But my food came out quick status and exactly as ordered. Gold star for the kitchen. It was yummy. I'm not a big fan of sourdough but they're sourdough toast is sooo good. I had the VeraCruz chicken omelette, without cheese. Sooo good. I walked out feeling sated not bloated, nice! I'll definitely be back. They do a damn good breakfast and I still have other dishes I want to try. Hopefully, I can miss the crowd next time. read more

Since we moved to Texas we have been looking for the perfect breakfast place. We have tried several places, most were ok but wither not very good or average. The Egg and I is perfect. The food was awesome and the service was great. I highly recommend it read more

The service here was good. I have no complaints there. I didn't give it 5 stars because my order didn't come back right. I did not mention it to the server, so I guess I didn't give them a chance to fix it. The breakfast burrito was pretty god but not my favorite. I think the cold toppings blew it for me because I like the warm comfort of a good burrito . I did have to ask for refills and my server didn't notice me looking for her although she was at the front of the restaurant having a conversation with another employee. The atmosphere was quiet and they have wifi if you want to bring your laptop in. All in all it was an okay breakfast. Nothing too thrilling but good. read more

Brunch spot that absolutely nails the benedict game. Creamy hollaindaise, runny yolk, and amazing ranch potatoes to soak it all up and leave you ready to seize the day...or take a nap. Coffee was hot & bold, service was good as well. All in all, a great little spot to knock our brunch. The pancakes are huge, larger than your face, and just as delicious as expected. I didn't have a chance to try to waffles or any of the skillets, and I can't speak to the lunch menu, but all in all, a solid experience. Looking forward to trying out more! read more

Great customer service but the order was not correct. There were no vegan options except fruit so one of my family members had to go to Einstein Bagels to get more options. read more

This is one of my favorite places in the Plano area!!! It is just a simple place that has this homey feel to it, so you can tell its family owned. My favorite thing to order here is the Avocado Toast with Scrambled eggs. Best. Ever. It is so good with the sea salt and lemon on top of thick, whole wheat bread! And they do not skip on the avocado either!!! Make sure to check this place out if you're in the area. read more

First time to eat at this restaurant. Thought it would be okay based upon comments by friend, but was not impressed. Owner came by table but wore no mask. Menus were not paper - I did not accept one. Coffee cup was dirty - waitress had to replace. Food okay, but I've had better. Definitely won't return - did not feel they were following safety guidelines during pandemic. Risk much greater than reward! read more
