    Good food. We just found this place after living here a year. It's tucked away and there isn't a big sign. We have one kid who is hard to feed and she loved the French Toast. Everything tasted great. Only negative was the egg surcharge of 50 cents per egg. Hopefully this is temporary as they also pass on the credit card charge.

    So, as soon as you walk in, there is a short staff sign. I understand with the pandemic and labor shortages that service may be slow. So I took about 5 minutes to even see someone, which wasn't a problem. I get seated at the bar, at my request, because I saw a server working behind the bar and figured this would be a wise choice for service. I sat and sat, probably another five minutes before anyone even talked to me. Apparently they had some confusion on who was going to be serving me - so instead of saying hi and getting a basic drink order as soon as they saw me, they decided to let me wait while they figured it out. There were at least five servers on the floor for a 10% occupied restaurant. The food was good, but the service was poor.

    This was my first time eating here that wasn't a holiday, so they weren't slammed with patrons waiting outside for seats. Service was excellent, as usual. I will note, they are now adding a 4% fee to every order if you pay with a card. My Dad joined me for breakfast, and he enjoyed what he ordered. I forgot to note what he got, but there is a photo of it. I ordered the Classic Biscuit and Gravy. The gravy was great. Perfect consistency and flavor. I wish there was more than one biscuit. Their patty sausage is very flavorful. My eggs were cooked as requested and seasoned decently. I also added a side of Bradley's sausage. This is my favorite sausage in the world, so it is hard to beat it. If you have never tried Bradley's sausage, please do yourself a favor and find it. I enjoy this restaurant for breakfast, and my father and I may start eating here for our weekend breakfasts.

    Decent food. Pretty much the same menu as Another Broken Egg. Had a few issues/ dislikes. 1. People in my party ordered Blood Mary's and they had to ask for their bacon strips. Yet the table behind us received their bacon in their drinks no problem. 2. I went to the restroom to change my baby and an employee who did not need to use the larger stall with the changing table took her precious time in there. 2 other stalls were open. The large stall should be prioritized for handicapped individuals and people with children. 3. Our waiter didn't seem like he wanted to wait on us and seemed less enthusiastic. 4. The food looked bland so additional seasoning needed to be added

    It took a bit to find this place via my Google assistant's direction, but once here it was worth finding. It was cozy and the service was great, pretty busy at 9 am on Black Friday and the wait was not long at all. Been wanting some corned beef for awhile and was excited to see their Irish Benny on the menu. Their version of corned beef hash was more like bacon bits but had a great flavor none the less. I love eggs Benedict so I'll be back to try the others in the menu.

    First, a star was taken off, like unfortunately with any other brunch place in Tallahassee, the waiting time is beyond ridiculous. As said, in Tallahassee it seems normal that you have to wait 1hr at a minimum to be seated when trying to get brunch on the weekend. With that said, the food is extraordinary delicious, so is their Bloody Mary. If u don't mind waiting, this is your place to be.

    After having trouble getting seated the first time we tried to brunch here, we finally got in here one day with a shorter wait. As usual, bottomless coffee! We ordered hot coffee to start off our brunch. We also ordered the beignets, which I have always loved at the other locations. They came out hot and sweet and tasty. I got the garden benny, which was actually quite good. It was lighter than the usual eggs Benedict but more veggies on top than the usual eggs Florentine. So the service isn't great. But the food is solid. I can't wait to come back for some brunch... but maybe not during peak hours.

    Disappointed that they only offer military discount to those in uniform. My daughter is 100% disabled retired US Army. She has her military ID but won't give the discount because she's not in uniform. The menu is pricey and the charge to swap the breakfast potatoes for a slice of tomato or other fruit is $1.50 more. Split a plate between 2 for a smaller meal, that'll be an extra $2.50. No senior menu to get a smaller meal. They are a pretentious overpriced cafe. At least provide flavored creamer. Half and half doesn't cut it. Looking around at other tables, people are clearly finished and the dishes aren't cleared from their table. Food is brought out quickly.

    Another great time at the Egg Cafe and Eatery this time at the location on Capital Ciricle. We had a party of 6 and the speed of service was perfect. Jamie was our server and she was excellent! I didn't get the Asian Chicken salad, but recommended it to someone in my party and she thoroughly enjoyed. I didn't want anything with eggs as I had some for Breakfast so I went with the potato skillet with broccoli, spinach and Bradley Sausage. It was filling, however I wasn't crazy about the combo but the greenery made me feel "healthier" even though I'm sure the potatoes and cheese cancel it out. I would try it again just with different items. The breakfast potatoes here are still so so good! Someone else in my party had the cinnamon roll French toast and she didn't seem disappointed.

    Great brunch experience! It was my first time going to The Egg and I enjoyed myself. The food was delicious, prompt friendly service and they had a beautiful venue space. Food ordered: The Ultimate Seafood Omelette Cinnamon Roll French Toast This is a nice place for Breakfast, Brunch, or Lunch with many things to choose from that you will not be disappointed. Give them a try and stop by!!!

We chose to dine on their colorful outdoor terrace, and when I tell you that we were transported to another country.... I mean, it literally took us out of Tally and dropped us in a tropical paradise. As the sun went down, the lights began to glow. The ambiance was surreal. I repeatedly told my husband I felt thousands of miles away from home. Was it the cafe lights or the Sangria? I can't be sure. The live music began and it was a whole vibe. Heads turned, ears perked up, and an entire terrace just exhaled. The sultry atmosphere was only overshadowed by the savory food. Dear Lord we ate far too much. What is that saying? Ask forgiveness not permission. Sounds about right. We started with cocktails and Fried Yucca. The Jamaican Margarita was a perfect blend with a sweet sugared rim. The Sangria was a full party in the glass with fresh fruit. The Yucca portion was hefty, but we ate it ALL. In hindsight, we should have saved more room for our actual meal. We ordered Lomo Saltado Beef that was so tender and rich, and it was accompanied by another hefty portion of indulgent carbs. See? That's where moderation in our starter would have been wise. Ahh lessons learned. If we had saved half of the Yucca for leftovers it would have reheated in an air fryer beautifully. We also ordered the Escabeche which was a beautifully fried , snapper filet served with sweet potato and rice. The sauce was simple and elegant with that classic tart vinegar bite. We looked at the dessert menu. I repeat, looked. We simply had no more room. We'll be back soon and promise to make it to the dessert menu and coffee.

Large table inside was much better although the chair was uncomfortable for this big guy. Our drinks were brought quickly as well as plates of their lagniappe of pimento cheese and Ritz crackers. Our food orders were taken quickly too. Took a good amount of time to get our food and I don't think anyone was impressed with the flavor. I got neither a smoky taste nor a sausage taste from the sausage in my omelette. The Gruyère cheese was bland. Smoked Gouda grits needed salt and were not much for flavor either. Wife's French toast was ok and the bacon was rather plain for flavor. Service was excellent and the food came out pretty quick once it got done so it was still warm. It is loud inside when it is busy. Concrete floors and open ceiling guarantees plenty of echo. This is another $15-$20/person breakfast place to choose from and, for me, I would choose one of my favorites in the future. Glad I tried it because lots of people love the place but it's not for me.
