This one of my top favorite brunch places in Denton. They are usually packed on weekends, so plan ahead and try to go early. However, this is one place that I don't mind waiting in line. Service is always great, despite the busyness. Our severs are always cheerful and helpful. My favorite dishes are the seasonal veggie hashes or the avocado toast. I always add a waffle on the side because theirs are delicious. read more

Amazing experience! So good to be back at 'The Egg and I'! Dell greets the guests with a smile and welcomes them as if they are coming home. . Kayleigh is such a great server! Fast food, fast and kind service! read more

This is mine and my boyfriend's favorite breakfast spot in town. The service is always incredible and we're always treated like regulars. The waffles are out of this world! If I could eat a waffle from the Egg & I everyday without gaining weight, I totally would. We have tried other breakfast spots in town and nothing compares to the egg and I. I always bring my outside friends and family to this spot whenever they come to visit! read more

The food is great and good for value but everyone is sitting wayyyy too close together

the breakfast hunt is on! Sunday morning here in Denton, go by Old West a 30 minute to 45 min wait, for breakfast? it's lunch time by the time you get in. why? try I hop same olé same ole, Denny's, they are running around with their head cut off. Then Egg and I, a 10 min wait place is packed but not to bad , the breakfast is first class their detail on cooking is top of the line and one of the best tasting breakfasts I've ever had. And the eggs over' hard' are cooked to perfection and the choices are quite unique and healthy. Stop by you'll be impressed with the wait staff. read more

DELICIOUS! We wanted to go to Old West, but we're disappointed with the hour long wait (not unusual... we've done this before). Last time we bailed on Old West we went to Le Peep; YUCK! Thank goodness we gave this area a second chance! The Egg & I was a nice change to our previous experiences. We were sat right away, greeted by a nice server and had some of the best breakfast food one could ask for. We will certainly be coming back read more

Nice refreshing family friendly place! Good coffee. I've had a combo of options from omelets, breakfast skillet, French toast & pancakes. All good. They do have gluten free options too. read more

We are from out of town. More the pity I really like this morning's breakfast. It was one of their healthier choices. And it was actually pretty good at exactly the right portion. The best thing about this place is the waitress we had. Her name is Alicia. And I wish I had service like that at every restaurant I went to. Highly recommend this place. It was pleasant surprise. read more

I love the food here and the customer service is better than I have experienced in a very long time! I would recommend this restaurant to everyone! read more

I like the atmosphere it gave me a sense of peace and quietness, and the staff seem very friendly. Now I arrived at 11:45am it was not very crowded. I order the Texas skillet and man do you get a lot of food I even asked them to place gravy on top and they did not disappoint. The food taste great! I would recommend trying this place. read more

Great food and service at a moderate price. Wisconsin omelet is wonderful. Give 'em a try. read more

Great place to have breakfast or lunch!! Everyone is friendly and upbeat!! Food is always great!! Very busy on Sunday after church service but really worth the wait!! Highly recommend. read more

On vacation from California visiting my father with my family. Stoped here to grab breakfast before going for a hike. Had to wait ten minutes for a table which was fine. However when we were seated, we were not even given menus. The "waiter" came and attempted to poor us some coffee, I notice my cup was still dirty and obviously wasn't washed efficiently. Asked for a new cup and he brought me back another cup but already had coffee in it so no way for me to tell if it was clean even. Pretty sure it was the same cup. He never even took my wife's drink order even. After about 10 minutes we had to ask the same hostess that seated us for menus. Had to ask twice for half and half! Don't know if the waiter understood the first time. The whole restaurant looked miserable and the other guest appeared to be unhappy. We got up and walked out. If your looking for a breakfast joint that's going to ruin your morning go here. read more

Ladies ate together in meeting room for a delicious, relaxing meal. The manager was very accommodating and our waitress, Lisa was just the right amount of attentive. read more

The Great Egg - Denton - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Denton, Texas

We saw a New Place in town and thought we'd try it....Waste of Time and Money. First off we were placed in the "Meeting Room" that was empty while there were plenty of seats out front in main dining room. Felt ostracized away from the rest of the patrons. Ordered Cobb Salad that was okay, chicken and bacon in salad should have been brought to room temperature prior to serving - being ice cold made the meats tough and tasteless and a cheeseburger plate that came with chips and a pickle...nothing to write home about, really, barely a step up from McDonald's Cheeseburger. If you going to open a restaurant, have something that makes the dining experience memorable - whether it be the food or the atmosphere or an energetic and welcoming staff. They have none of these things. A signature dish that is memorable and endorsed by the staff would have been nice. Give me a reason to return. Prices slightly higher than I-HOP, food quality lower than I-HOP. (Used I-HOP to compare since the day before we ate there and ordered the same items.) The Egg & I is now know to our family and "The Egg & NOT I" read more

The food was ok. I had the biscuits and gravy which was average at best. The service was nothing to brag about. We waited for over 30 minutes to get our food. I don't think I will be returning. read more

I had great hopes for this new breakfast joint in Denton and found my outing to be just OK. I inquired about a gluten free menu and was given a gluten-friendly menu (in other words, they could not guarantee gluten cross-contamination). Sadly, the menu was all skillets and omelets. Not a gluten-free pancake, french toast, or waffle substitute to be found. I ordered the ham and cheese omelet with ranch potatoes and cottage cheese in lieu of bread and my husband had the waffle. The omelet was light and fluffy and the cottage cheese felt special with paprika added on top. My husband loved his waffle. The fresh-squeezed orange juice was excellent but pricey at $7.99 a carafe. Service was OK and the place had an odd smell...not bad, just odd. For my money, I am going to stick with Le Peep across the street where I can get better gluten free options at a comparable price. read more

Every other Sunday, after church, we go out for breakfast/brunch at various resturaunts. The Egg and I was very good. At many places we eat, rarely is the bacon cooked exactly as we order, but, at the Egg and I, it was cooked to perfection. Our waitstaff was attentive and all food items were delicious. They also have a great merting space for groups if that is your need. read more

The food was sub par at most. The omelete had a very salty taste to it and the grits def were store bought. The biscuts tasted very starchy and basically had to coat them in jelly to enjoy what I could of them. I heard alot of good things about this place only to be let down. The gf had a breakfast burrito and she said she would never order again. First impressions are what does it for me and this was a bad one. We wont be returning and for breakfast will be going back to Old west for a good home cooked breakfast thats well worth the money. read more

Went this morning for the first time and the food was great! We will go back. I will say that the front of the restaurant has a poor smell to it. We couldn't figure out what it was- sewer lines maybe? We sat in the meeting room area as the place was pretty busy but all the waiters in the place were on top of their game, addressing patrons quickly when they sat down. We had slow service with water refills but that was about all. We ordered three meals for $30. The waffles were fabulous, portions are large, and they had coloring pages for the kids. For a Sunday morning, we were impressed. read more

Pretty good place for breakfast or lunch. I didn't see many options for me and I do prefer IHOP but this is much more elegant than IHOP.

Good, but to much dill on the roasted potatoes for the first meal of the day.

Excellent service every time we come to this location, and the food is impeccable!! I would definitely recommend this place to anyone! P.S our server Michael was very polite & gave great customer service! read more

We came into The Egg & I and had to wait to be seated. That took about 2.5 minutes. We were seated then waited about 5-6 minutes for waiter to finally come to our table. He apologized for the wait, took our drink order and breakfast order ( we didn't want to wait longer for food order ). The food was blah, the eggs Benedict were not cooked properly so that threw the whole meal off. The Wisconsin omelette was just ok. We tried it and decided not to come here anymore. The food and price is way way better at The Old West Cafe in Denton or Sanger. read more

My frittata was runny. Service was meh. The Richardson was is way better. Then again, it could have been a one time fluke.

I like it. No wait, I had a very sweet waitress -the coffee was good. - I didn't dig the biscuits n gravy, my daughter had the eggs Benedict and liked it. We were pleased to see the iced mocha -she said it was good too. The manager was very nice to us. We will be going back. read more

The ambience is wonderful. The eggs were perfectly cooked, though chilly, but the potatoes were stone cold and they didn't taste good. The biscuit was as heavy as a stone. The service was great! read more

The Egg & I has the best breakfasts in town! Their pancakes are huge with lots of melting butter and warm syrup on them. And the bacon and eggs are done to perfection-can't beat 'um anywhere! Now the best for last, the steel-cut oatmeal is to die for-yum yum! The service is outstanding under the management of Della, sorry I don't remember her last name, but she runs a tight ship and keeps everyone hopping! Love, love, love this place!! read more

Stopped in this morning to try out the new place. Read posted reviews and wasn't sure what to expect. My wife and I were very pleasantly surprised. Wife has the Spinach bacon mushroom omelette it was so very good. Hollandaise was tart lots so spinach bacon and mushrooms. Eggs were light and fluffy. I had the Texas skillet and it was also very good. Meat was tender with lots of veggies and spuds. Coffee was very mild just like I like it. Overall a very good place for breakfast. Service was fast and friendly. Not sure about the other reviews about the service but ours was spot on. We recommend the Egg & I for breakfast. Will have to come back for the lunch. read more

The food was pretty good...much better than Le Peep in my opinion. The atmosphere was friendly, open and CLEAN! Our waiter was very quick (except for bringing the check...). Great place for a nice brunch! read more

Ashley provided excellent service today. Made our awesome breakfast very enjoyable. Prompt and attentive but never intrusive.

By far the best breakfast in Denton. My favorite is the crab cake Benedict! Excellent service every time.

Super yummy! The staff was spread a little thin but she did the best she could. Poor girl was sweating the whole time trying to keep everyone happy. This will be one on my new favs for my very rare breakfast cravings. read more

The food is great and the waiters are awesome. BUT, the hostesses and manager stare way too much when guests walk in. The hostesses have a way of making guests feel really uncomfortable and judged upon coming in the restaurant. Besides the catty hostesses, the food and waitstaff make the restaurant. read more

Came here after I received a coupon for 10$ off a 20$ or more check around May. Best decision I ever made! Since then, I came in tthree times total. The first visit I got the eggs benedict with ranch potatoes on the side and an Arnold Palmer. My little sister got a plain waffle with a side of ranch potatoes. The drinks are served very cute. You receive a filled up cup with a pitcher(size depends on how many orders there were) that you can use to refill your cup with by yourself, very convenient and cute! I loved the eggs benedict. The hollandaise sauce was very creamy and delicious when it was combined with the egg yolk. The ranch potatoes were very good also! I wish they were smaller and crunchier though(I don't like big pieces of potatoes). My sister loved the potatoes and her waffles. She's a very picky eater, so if she likes it, it HAS to be good. Our waiter was very nice and I thought the way he talked was cute because he sounded very monotone even though his expressions were enthusiastic. He checked up on us often to make sure everything was good. Second time I went with a friend. I ordered the Cordon Bleu Skillet with scrambled eggs(tried it another time at HV location w/ sunny side up eggs and it was better!). It was really filling and delicious, but I preferred the eggs benedict. Had the same waiter as the first time and had the same service. The third time was with my mom. I was a little bit disappointed :( I ordered the eggs benedict and a side of loaded ranch potatoes. The hollandaise sauce was weird this time. It was very oily and you could see it separate from the sauce. It didn't taste as good as before, but it was still okay. I did not like the loaded ranch potatoes at all. It was way too overloaded for my own tastes. Was very strong. If you are a fan of chili, you should definitely order it! My boyfriend loved it when I bought it home though. My mom had sunny side up eggs with bacon and toast. She said it was alright(she doesn't like American breakfast foods, so it was understandable). Our waitress brought my mom the wrong drink but I was fine with that, I could tell she was overwhelmed and tired(since they open so early and it was 1 PM), but she still was very nice and happy when it came to serving us. She realized she brought the wrong drink and was very apologetic, but I let her know it was fine and understandable. She checked up on us very often also. I would come here a lot more if it was open longer(I know, it's a breakfast and lunch place) since I'm in school during their hours. Service is great and the food is good! read more

I always have a goid meal, and good customer service here. It isnt fair to take a star for inly not having one breakfast item.

The food is good but the amount is small and the food is overpriced, but the service is still good, I like this restaurant but it is overpriced, and it takes a long time for the food to come out. read more
