Mediocre food and worse service. We were there a good 10 minutes before being waited on. I would…read moresay it was another 45 minutes for the food to come out and it was just a sandwich and fries. Other people at our table waited longer. Whoever reviewed the poutine fries as the best they ever had, clearly never had them elsewhere. The gravy was awful, there was melted cheese, not curds, and the fries aren't homemade. They were actually the worst I've ever had. The sandwich was a good size but just ok, nothing special. It took forever to get drinks refilled. I asked 25 minutes before we left and never got another. Once we finished eating our waitress didn't come back to the table. We had to ask others for drinks and the check. We originally went to play bingo. It was fun but didn't start on time and went all the way to 10pm.

I really like the Claire's veggie benny.. just wish there was more of it. My daughter ordered the strawberry crunch french toast- fun idea and it was good in small doses, but a lighter, simpler version would be better. Extremely greasy/ buttery and they added a bunch of red food coloring to the cream cheese filling to make it pink, which i think was really unnecessary. I don't even remember seeing any strawberries in it.

If the pancakes were on point would have given them 4 stars.

From the second we walked in, the atmosphere was so charming and nostalgic, right down to the unbelievably reasonable prices. It's the kind of spot that instantly makes you feel comfortable and keeps you entertained the entire time you're there. We sat at the bar and were greeted right away with coffee and water while we looked over the menu. One of the coolest parts was being able to watch the food being prepared right in front of us - the entire vibe of the room felt lively, authentic, and honestly hilarious at times. Between the conversations, the energy behind the counter, and the overall ambiance, it genuinely felt like dinner and a comedy show wrapped into one. We ordered the vegetable omelet and the pancake special, and both came out piping hot and absolutely delicious. Everything tasted homemade, fresh, and comforting in the way classic breakfast spots should. You can tell this place has character, heart, and a loyal following for a reason. This is truly one of those spots that deserves way more attention and is 100% worth stopping into if you're in the area. And if you're a fan of Mayor of Kingstown, you definitely need to check this place out!

A special shoutout to our server, Hannah, who was absolutely perfect - super friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal.

The scrambled eggs were uniquely flat but good. The bacon was thin, but it was delicious (and they gave more than two pieces, so it was plenty). The home fries were pretty standard. Italian toast was well toasted and buttered. I found it odd that they gave ketchup packets instead of a bottle, but this is a Greek owned restaurant, and maybe ketchup isn't prevalent in Greek culture. My son got Greek eggs Benedict, which had Gyro meat. I tasted a bit of the meat, and it was awesome. Definitely something to consider on a future visit or maybe for lunch. Not huge inside, so large parties could be tricky. There were five of us, and it looked like only one table could accommodate a larger party, but it was available with no wait. There was only one server, so I was worried that the service would be slow, but she did a great job. The restaurant was only around half full at the time. I saw comments in other reviews about the waitress being rude. I'm not sure if ours was the same person, She had a very monotone voice and direct demeanor (probably partially due to being the only server and trying to be as efficient as possible) and I can understand how some people might perceive this as rude. We had zero problem with her. She was very nice and attentive, and she offered a bit of small talk as I was paying at the register.

The Speckled Egg provided the upscale and elevated breakfast, that was a nice contrast to the rustic and local breakfast we had the next day. Our waitress was friendly and professional.

He was courteous, well spoken and friendly. We sat there for about 10-12 minutes. No one approached the table. We looked over to what appeared to be a bar area and we saw two servers standing there talking and showing each other their phones. My wife said, "With our luck, one of those two is our server." Sure enough, when they were finally done talking, one came over to our table....no smile and a big audible sigh. She asked what we wanted to drink, we gave our order and she returned with our beverages. After another 10 minute wait she came back to take our order. When asked about a certain dish, came another big sigh, eye roll and and a rote description of said dish. The food arrived and one of the orders was wrong. Another wait to get her attention. We asked for the item to be redone as we had ordered it. And she even asked how we wanted it! You got it...another eye roll and a big sigh. At least she was well oxygenated! The dish came back with the very same results. On that issue we gave up. Then came the wait for the check. Once again the two servers were chatting, no heads turned to check on their tables. My son went over to get the check. When the check arrived, it was attitude city. She accused us of picking on her because she was only a server. It's obviously how she saw herself. We then asked for the manager who was quick to side with the server. She said that nothing seemed to satisfy us and that we had a problem. IN SHARP CONTRAST. I have been to the Speckled Egg on the South Side many times. From the Host/Hostess to the servers to the bus staff, everyone had a smile, chatted with their customers, laughed and it was always a great experience. The manager came over since he recognized me from being there many times and we chatted for a minute. We are talking Night and Day. Completely two different experiences from server to management styles. To me there is only one Speckled Egg and one complete waste of time (Downtown).
