The Good Egg – McQueen

Best breakfast place hands down! Great food and friendly people! I’ve been coming here for a year and it’s always been a great experience. I rarely post anything on this but felt that I should let people know what a great place this is. See Micheal what a great attitude and great service!

Dependable good food but kind of expensive…
Food and service here are good…
I lose breakfast motivation when you have over $ 20 into some really simple breakfast food when I could go eat something more substantial for barely more…
I have eaten at these places for years but as prices go up I go less and less…

Eddie is one of the most attentive, personable servers at this location. Ask for him and make the good egg experience even better.

I’m torn with giving this a 3 vs. a 4 as the food was excellent, but server was awful. Manager and general manager made up for it by the end of the meal so I’m going with 4. Hesitant to go back as Gilbert has many, many choices, but their pineapple upside down pancakes were excellent! Not as good as Snooze, but definitely better than Black Bear Diner. Also, their chorizo breakfast burrito smothered in Veracruz sauce with black beans was amazing!

The two stars on Unilocal mean «Meh, I’ve experienced better» and this restaurant used to be so much better! I used to be a regular at the good egg for the past year and a half. I loved going there — their server Tatum made us feel really special and got to know us really well. She’d make suggestions and when I’d forget to mention something, she would double check to see if I didn’t want it or just forgot to mention it. The front desk people were great, the food was slow, but it was because they were making a great meal for us.
Now the Good Egg is First Watch and the changes are «meh» egg. Tatum is no longer at the McQueen location, but the remaining servers and new front desk folks are really trying — and I really appreciate that.
The problem is with the food. I know they are saying that they are using «local fresh ingredients» but it doesnt feel that way. I ordered the bocado and the eggs felt like they were made from liquid eggs. the bocado used to come with avocados and this time it came literally with one tiny slice and the omelet wasn’t «fresh off the grill» hot and it got cold very very quickly. The potatoes that came with it were hard. The coffee cups were tiny and the water glass were also tiny.
I’m sorry to say that I’m going to start looking for another brunch place.

Love this place — they are always great about accommodating our triplets. Great food, great service.

I love it when family comes in from out of town… one reason is I get to go out for breakfast! Alas, I’m the only one in my house that likes breakfast food… :(So when my brother was here this week, we ran right up to The Good Egg. It’s always solid but this was a reminder… when they are on… they are ON. I must say, the service was 6 stars. I had the Eggs Florentine… very well executed and really hit the spot. My only criticism would be the side of rye toast came barely toasted. I know I could have asked for them to toast it up. I’m sure this would have been done quickly, but there is simply a timing issue with eggs and toast! Must be the same time man! … lol minor issue… I like coming her. :D

We come every Subday morning with our children and Tarissa does an amazing job taking care of us. She’s incredibly attentive and knowledgable as well as keeps us entertained with her sense of humor. She is by far one of the best servers we’ve had. Thank you Tarissa for everything and for keeping us company Sunday mornings! ;)

Amazing service (thank you Tarisa) and well portioned meals. Fast, hot, and delicious food when you’re in the mood for breakfast or lunch. Try The Elevated breakfast sandwich if you love avocado.

We ate breakfast here yesterday, and we just had to come back again today. The food is delicious and the staff is super friendly!

Unfortunately with new ownership of all the Good Eggs, the frequent diner card is now buy 10 meals, get one free. It used to be 7 meals. I guess new ownership doesn’t care about loyal customers! Food is okay and pricey. Wait staff is great!

Great place to have breakfast, nice friendly staff and delicious eggs. I like how the staff keep asking if anything is needed, and they serve really good coffee, nice place to start your day with.

I have been here a few times now and although I will say my servers have been great, the wait times (for seating AND food) can be much improved. The food is good, not anything super amazing, but decent. Great choices for kids as well but overall, MiMi’s or Crackers and Co. Café are just better for breakfast.

4 stars who paid for those nothing special by any means. Really nice staff. I could make better food then what I was served. Seriously who paid for these reviews, doesn’t taste right to me. Lol. Hey you been warned.

I have a great deal of respect for a buisness that values the customers. After having an unpleasant experience I was gifted a gift card at an attempt to better my experience. This experience was much better. The service was great, the food was awesome. I certainly will continue to be a customer thanks again.

My daughter and I go here every Sunday for ‘brunch’. We usually go around 1pm or later so there’s never a wait. We’ve been doing this for at least the last 6 months and not once have we had a bad experience. The hosts always know where we like to sit and some of the waiters and waitresses see us and come say hi if they can. Everyone is always super friendly and helpful. Also, the food is great! I tend to try different things to switch it up from time to time, and I haven’t found anything I don’t like. I’ve been to multiple Good Eggs throughout the Valley and this by far has been the best one I’ve been to.

This is your typical breakfast/​lunch only place. I chose to go because I love one of their omelettes … that is unfortunately now no longer on the menu. I guess they got bought out by a national change and made some budget cuts here and there. The waitress was nice enough… And after she spilled my juice all over the table, she took it off the bill (I should hope so since it was $ 3 for juice and she never refilled the spilled portion lol). Accidents happen so it’s not because of that, but because of the «meh» food, that I won’t be back.

WOW try out their Lumberjack skillet — you’ll either stuff yourself so much you’ll fall asleep on the car ride home or you’ll have leftovers for later or the next day.
I normally don’t like chains, and especially diner-​like chains.
But this place was definitely a good find and I left thoroughly happy.

It’s been a few years since I’ve been at The Good Egg. I don’t remember if I didn’t like it or was just underwhelmed and opted to not go back.
I can’t say that about this visit. WOW, I left full, impressed and wanting to go back ASAP!
We came in around 10 am on a Sunday morning so we expected a brief wait, it wasn’t bad, maybe 10 minutes at the most. After being shown to our table we were greeted by a super friendly girl named Tarisa. I ordered the mushroom caps and she quickly had a suggestion for me. Apparently there are mushroom caps that aren’t on the menu that have feta, mozzarella, tomatoes and pesto. Sure, why not! I appreciated the suggestion and liked all the ingredients she listed. The only problem was, I couldn’t have imagined they were going to taste so phenomenal.
Without her suggestion, I never would have left that happy. I will be back SOON and will not even consider ordering something else. I didn’t care about the eggs, potatoes and English Muffin, granted it was all wonderful but the star was the mushrooms. Please put those mushrooms on the menu!
Tarisa’s phenomenal service has gained your restaurant a repeat guest!

Great breakfasts, and not as crowded as some of the «trendy» spots nearby in Gilbert, which can have completely ridiculously long waits on the weekend. Started coming here for that reason, and really like it. They have probably the best hash browns I’ve ever had (you have to ask for them, country potatoes are the default breakfast side), and great omelets. Service is generally very good, though can be a bit of a hit and miss. Will continue to be a regular.
