Great diner-style energy every time we come to The Cracked Egg. We love this place for Sunday brunch because there's a little bit of everything for everyone to enjoy. Whether you're looking for a classic American breakfast or something with a bit of cultural influence, the flavors are always great, and the service is consistently fast and friendly. Their coffee is also one of our favorites. No matter where we go, we always end up comparing it to the coffee here , it's just that good. Today we ordered the Cowboy Skillet, which had great flavor with the gravy and the mix of peppers and potatoes. Everything paired really well together and made for a hearty breakfast. The waffle was well made with a nice butter crisp on the outside. We also tried the Shaved Ribeye Benedict with mushrooms. I really enjoyed the flavor coming from the mushrooms and onions cooked into it. The shaved ribeye was a little on the dry side, but overall the flavors still worked well together and the dish was nicely plated. Energy here is always phenomenal as people are always so kind and making sure to be constantly checking on us and making sure we have everything we need always! Ambiance is great and always nice and warm feeling. This is a place we always recommend to people, and we'll definitely continue coming back. read more

Staff was so friendly. The place is cute and comfy. Coffee is good! Food was delicious.

Even had someone approach me and asked what I was eating because it looked delicious. read more

One of the few breakfast spots in town to offer truly really country potato's which you'd be surprised are hard to find. It's breakfast food but it's delicious breakfast food and the eggs are real eggs not the liquid eggs some other places use when you order scrambled eggs so it's a plus. read more

I used to go here for weekend brunch with my family when I was a kid and used to live several miles down the road. Came back to visit and stopped by for good old memory. Still with good services (better before in the late 80s) and good foods, slow service but it was busy morning so understandable. Decor still felt like back in the good old days but with modern touch. Parking is great since it has a big lot. Prices are changed for sure but glad that I stopped by and try it again. read more

I came here for brunch on Saturday around 1130. There was a 10 minute wait and they don't take reservations. The inside had classic breakfast diner vibes. Our server Lindsey was awesome. Very patient and helped answer all of our questions and was attentive to all of our needs. I ordered the breakfast tacos which came with refried beans and I choose potatoes as my side. The portions at this restaurant are very large and the food was solid! I would definitely order this again! My husband ordered the steak fajitas and also really enjoyed it! This place has a huge menu, something for everyone! read more

Sitting in restaurant I noticed no waiter can tell me wat taste good or what's most popular. The pancakes came out dry with lack of flavor. Not really homestyle more so seem to be fast food similar to eating eggs out a box .. I wouldn't recommend taking your family / spouse for the first time . Overall I'm giving this place 2 out of 10 Rating . Only positive thing to say is food comes fast read more

The service was great. The food was good. We came in for brunch on Saturday on the place was hopping still Saturday at about noon! If we're in the area, we would definitely visit again. I wanted to try the biscuits and gravy, but I overheard the waitress tell another table that there biscuits were about the size of a softball and there's no way I could've eaten all of that! read more

What looks like a former Denny's with a clay tile roof is a pretty standard breakfast and lunch place. The menu packs meals into combos, so if you're looking for a simple egg and bacon breakfast you purchase items as sides. Our server provided outstanding service. The kitchen also performed well by delivering correct orders quickly. It's a comfortable spot but the hard walls create a loud space once customers start filling seats. read more

Great food and service! Was there today. No request denied!!! They make it your way!

Did a quick google search for breakfast spots in the area after finishing up my workout at the gym. This place popped up and we decided to give it a try, as we really enjoy trying out new brunch spots. Upon entering The Cracked Egg, I immediately took notice of the warm, inviting, diner-style setting, which featured beautiful holiday decor, that introduced nice warm holiday vibes into atmosphere. Our server was very pleasant and personable, yet professional and efficient. I had a create-your-own omelette with, double eggs, turkey sausage, spinach, mushrooms and avocado. My sweetie had a strawberry yogurt parfait. Service was quick. My omelette arrived just as I had envisioned - it was fresh, hearty, beautiful and tasted delicious! It came with a side of hash browns that were seasoned well, cooked perfectly, and had a nice southern-type edge to them. My sweetie enjoyed her Parfait. We were checked on often by our server. We had a great first-time experience and will definitely return in the future. I highly recommend this great breakfast joint!! read more

Long ago a stranger passing through Black Canyon City stopped at the Biz E Bee Cafe. writing about "...pancakes big as your face...." I steal that line regarding The Cracked Egg. Remember Sambo's? It's a dim memory for me. I remember Fast Eddy's. But never stopped. The Cracked Egg is in the building now. If you like your food fast and restaurant loud and bustling this is your place. It is a restauranteur's dream. We ate at 10 am on a Monday. The house was full. Ashley was our server handling her tables well. She said her job is her gym. But, she gets paid instead of paying out. My lovely wife and I split a Denver omelette plus a side of crispy bacon. Sister had pancakes WAY bigger than her face. We brought 2/3 of her nreakfast home, finishing it today. The Cracked Egg is no Gas Monkey Garage. It is fast and loud with generous portions. read more

Had breakfast here on a Saturday morning. The hostess was quick to greet us and the wait time surprisingly was only 10 minutes. It's a very open space with big windows and a bar/counter to eat if you choose with no waiting. I had the farmer's skillet and a flight of mimosas. The food was amazing. Tasted home-cooked and very well seasoned. The mimosas were strong but hey, that's what makes them so good. I had a traditional, orange pineapple, orange cranberry and a cranberry flavored mimosa. They definitely packed a punched. Great place to go for breakfast or brunch. Family friendly and they offer a discount for GCU students. Loved it! read more

A perfect way to start the day. It was very busy on a Monday morning. We had the special fish tacos with their special sauce and the banana chocolate pancakes with eggs, bacon, and hash browns. The staff works very hard to get everyone served quickly. I will definitely be back to try some other items. read more

Update: We've been back a few times, never disappointed. This place is nothing fancy, some might say hole in the wall. BUT the service is good, the portions are large (including the butter-I didn't have to ask for extra for my pancakes). The coffee is OK. The food was really fresh. We will definitely be back. read more

The Cracked Egg - Signature French Toast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Always and I mean always great service and some of the best food around. I have never been sorry for going there.

My friend brought over some food today from this restaurant for lunch. I ordered the French dip and fries, she ordered French toast, and my boyfriend ordered a country breakfast. I liked the beef in the French dip but I felt it was lacking the right quantity of meat and cheese. It was decent. I don't think the fries traveled well but they were edible. I think if I ate them fresh they would have been better vs floppy. She enjoyed her French toast, and even took some home with her. The country breakfast was tasty as well, including the biscuits and gravy. I would try the food here again, but probably in person if I'm in the west valley vs delivered. read more

Extremely disorganized, rude staff but decent food. Whipped butter for the waffles is delish.

Everything ran perfectly here. The service was professional, the food came out promptly, and every dish had great taste. The place was clean, bright, and inviting. It's nice to see consistency and genuine care for customers. read more

I came here on a Sunday afternoon for brunch. The service was slooooow... it was fairly busy and parking was a bit difficult. We ended up parking in the nearby CVS lot. It is a nice, pleasant restaurant though. This place is pretty good. My server was pleasant and personable. I don't think she was the reason for the slow service as, she seemed efficient. The coffee was good and so was my breakfast. I think I'm gonna give this place a second chance and hope the service is a little quicker. read more

Hate to write this review because it will make it harder to get in. Every time we go it's always first class. Food, service all that you would expect from a "diner" type setting. Had the poncho omelette. The chorizo is the best I've had, (only lived in AZ 60+ years). Normally get a pancake, but saw the biscuit, and had it OMG, this big beautiful biscuit is the best, like out of a chuck wagon on the trail. Service was perfect. Great little spot!!! Will definitely be back when back in the area. read more

Overall: Unexpectedly really good food and super service. Great diner type food. Big portions with good flavor. California eggs Benedict had lots of flavor, the bacon was thick and cooked well. Hollandaise sauce was the right consistency. Cowboy burrito was like country fried steak and eggs wrapped in a tortilla. Cute ideas and yummy. First impression was not super, with older looking furniture, plain style and not much decor. But.... the service was fantastic. Our waitress was nice, attentive, very personable. Out water and coffee never went completely out before she was refilling them up. If your in Phoenix you should definitely try this place out for some good, down home breakfast. read more

Visiting AZ and had a great brunch experience here after church. Atmosphere: 10/10 Old diner feel, same experience as dennys or ihop. Clean and well maintained. Service: 10/10 Everything was fairly prompt and everyone was very kind and took great care of patrons. It was very busy so nothing was right away, but still done in a timely manner. I couldn't ask for kinder servers and staff, and servers were very knowledgeable of the menu and very patient with this new comer. Food: 10/10 My friend and I enjoyed our fishes immensely. My friend ordered her favorite: biscuits and gravy, which she loved. I ordered: meat lovers and it was so good! Way better than Denny's since the bacon was real (not microwaveable) and everything was cooked to perfection. The meat was of great quality. The "house fries" were hash browns basically, just as the server promised, but was only good after I added salt, pepper and ketchup, to which I inhaled it whole. The mimosas (cranberry and the pineapple orange) were the perfect blend of alcohol to juice and were not overly sweet. The serving size was not enough to say generous but definitely received the worth of the money you spend to order one. Over all I was very pleased I brought my friend here to catch up. Great food, extraordinary service and we had a great time. Will definitely return in the future during another trip to AZ. Ps. I was starving after church so I inhaled my food and didn't take pics no perfect plating, but still comes to your table looking amazing and basically looks the same as the pics on the menu. read more

The Cracked Egg has two dining areas. One has more of an old school diner feel; complete with a counter with seating in front of the window to the kitchen. The other dining area is more of a basic dining room. We were sat across from the counter. Much like a neighborhood diner, there are regulars who sit at the counter. Regulars were having full conversations with servers and the busboy. Phones were brought out to show pictures. There was a real sense of community. Even with their conversations, other tables were taken care of. Large portions. Come hungry or be prepared for leftovers. My son ordered the fajita skillet with chicken. The amount of vegetables and chicken was plentiful. Food was well seasoned. He was offered a choice of bread or tortillas. Being a fajitas skillet, he chose the tortilla. I ordered the signature French toast. The signature French toast is "Three thick slices topped with fresh strawberries, banana slices, pecans, strawberry reduction, powdered sugar, cinnamon, and whipped cream." Order was plentiful. French toast itself was nicely cooked. It was not mushy in the middle or dry. French toast had plenty of toppings. This dish eats more like a dessert. It is coyingly sweet. The Cracked Egg has an extensive menu. All kinds of breakfast foods. There is a strong southwestern and Mexican influence in many of their savory breakfast options. For those who do not like spicy foods, there are all the typical American diner options. Prefer your breakfast sweet? There are multiple different flavors of pancakes, waffles, and French toasts to choose from. Having food ordered and delivered via food delivery apps is popular here. There was a steady stream of people coming in and showing their phones to pick up orders. The kitchen did a fabulous job of having those orders ready before the drivers got there, as well as getting the food out quickly for those dining in. The kitchen had impeccable timing. The Cracked Egg is a little far for us to dine at regularly. We chose it because it showed up on the map as being on the way to a hiking spot we wanted to check out. That being said, I do look forward to eating here again. There are many savory options I wish to try. This is a spot I look forward to returning to, and sharing this restaurant with the rest of the family. read more
