The Good Egg – Fiesta

The food was cold, which really sucks, but it tasted really good. Prolly would have been better warm/​hot. It sucks that they changed the name and the place doesn’t feel «homey» anymore. Feels modernized. Anyone else feel this way? Last complaint. The pricing. For two adults and one child it was 39.28

Terrible place… they cannot heat milk, the toast was black burnt and i asked for eggs well done that were runny, even after i sent them back to be more cooked. I wont be back…

Best Morning meal in Tucson. American to Spanish meals. Inside seating is really neat. All the Staff are great. Before you are seated ask for Steven or Bo to serve you. These two are the best. They will make you laugh and most the time forget your straw. We really enjoy their service. And don’t forget to ask for a to go cup. You can always take your drink back into the desert. Enjoy your meal, and hope this helps.

The food wasn’t bad actually. But the service, is terrible. Went today, and the waiter showed up 20 min after we were sat, was in a hurry and had to repeat our orders 4 times because he kept getting them wrong. When our food was served, the waiter handed my plate to me and it was so hot it burnt my hand. When I dropped the plate because it was so hot onto the table he gave me a dirty look, and said it wasn’t that hot. Following that, the waiter didn’t even come back to give us our check, instead a different waiter was sent to do that. We had no drink refills. When I went to pay, I was asked if I wanted to leave a tip — I said no because the service was aweful and because i burned my hand because of the waiter. The cashier just handed me the charge slip and said sign here. No care/​concern as to why the service was bad, nor about my hand.
Will not be returning.

Awesome good breakfast. I loved my crepes and I actually finished my whole plate (which I never do). My boyfriend enjoyed the hell out of his skillet. I didn’t like that I wasn’t allowed to use my $ 2 off coupon without printing it (who prints things anymore when we have mobile devices?). I’d probably go back.

I had heard a lot about this place and always wanted to try it. I, in Tucson and waiting for a store to open so my friend and I went in. I had the Good eggs Benedict and my buddy had the Baconado omelet (I think that’s what it was called, not sure about the spelling). The service was good and prom. The food was just ok. The poached eggs on my eggs Benedict were way over cooked and were more like hard boiled eggs and the dish itself was barely warm. My buddy said his omelet was just ok and seemed to lack some flavor. He also said that it was a little watery inside. This place is also pretty pricey for breakfast. I can’t say that this place was bad, but I can say that it was not really good enough to go back.

Breakfast here is outstanding. Menu has been upgraded. For example, they now have a new juice selection. Kale Tonic… Kale, Fuji Apple, Cucumber and Lemon. And this one. It’s called Day Glow. Carrot, Orange, Lemon and Organic Ginger. Yummy!

Wanted to have a Mexican style breakfast and couldn’t find anything close by where we live so we came here. Im so glad we did. They have about 5 «southwest style» dishes and they were great! I had the old Pueblo and my bf had the breakfast burrito and we split a side of pancakes. Everything was prepared perfectly! It was the perfect meal to start off the day (we went hiking later that day). We thought it would be busy because it was a Saturday morning but we got sat right away and our server was right behind the host to get our drink order. Great speedy service and even better food.

Our food came out cold but the staff remade it quickly. I would have given them a 3.5.

Love this place! The bacon rocks, and the pineapple upside down pancakes are amazing. Like try to pry them out of my cold dead hands amazing. The only reason I’m docking a star is because I found a piece of paper in my orange juice, but they comped the OJ. :) Quick, friendly service and great food on the way to the Apple Store. :)

This place has really gone downhill… The first clue was when I noticed they started using crappy smuckers jelly. What happened to the good jelly from Oxnard?! How many people does it take to get your drink order? Apparently two and they still get it wrong. I’m almost scared to see what the food is going to look like. Drive across town to their other location at Grant and Swan they have better food and servers.

We have been regulars at Good Egg for years. The food is very good — even the lower calorie options like La Casa Potencia and Egg White & the 7 veggies.
They give you a pot of coffee for the table. Nice not having to wait for refills.
The recently removed the calorie counts on their menu. Hope that returns soon!

We were seated quickly for a Sunday morning. Our table on the outdoor patio was less than exciting. It was wobbly and a little dirty. And the chairs are not easy on the back. There’s dust everywhere and the concrete needs a good power washing. Spilled syrup and crumbs have it discolored and old looking. I hesitate to use the word ‘filthy’ but it was very close.
I got the southern omelette, happy to say it was quite good.
I may try a different location next time.

We used to love this place and would come a couple of times a month. Well, we were surprised today when we got here, to find the menu completely changed! One of the best things about the old menu was calorie information; which is absent on the new menu. The Montery omelet is gone! The eggstras are gone.
Combine the new limited menu with our server being inattentive and rude, and being charged for iced tea refills, I’m not sure we will be back anytime soon. While the food was still delicious, it didn’t feel like the family-​feel it used to.

We love to come here every Saturday. It’s just the thing for a hungry tummy after sleeping in. The food is always fresh. The service is always friendly and prompt. The prices are good. They are even starting to know our names when we walk in.

You’re a good egg, The Good Egg!
Ventured out to The Good Egg this morning with my daughter and two grandchildren and although it was 8AMish, we thought we’d have to wait to be seated but were pleasantly surprised to see the restaurant only half full. Seated with water and our own hot pot of coffee, our waiter gave the kids crayons and paper to keep them busy. Step that customer service up with 2 complimentary plates of apple slices and a little silver bowl of Honey Nut Cheerios for the kiddos and you’ve got a fan here.
My Monterey omelette of egg whites, chopped bacon, monterey jack cheese, turkey breast, tomato and avocado with an add-​in of jalapeño was perfectly moist and delicious. Sourdough toast and fresh fruit rounded out my meal. L likes her breakfast on the sweet side so she ordered the Pineapple Upside Down pancakes and I was shocked when she said they were too sweet for her. Carmelized pecans, brown sugar and citrus glazed the pineapple and cherries which would have been good except the pancakes were swimming in sweet, sugary glaze. Little I and C ate from the kids menu and it was a lot of food. We made several requests of our waiter (more coffee, more cream, 2 more orders of bacon, another kid’s order of pancakes, oops… Cheerios on the floor, more please) and he never batted an eye and smiled warmly and genuinely. I wish I remembered his name because he deserves a mention. Fail on my part.
As we were finishing up we realized that the place was packed and were very thankful we had arrived when we did. Our little 2 and 4 year olds walked out of The Good Egg happy which in turn made us smile and rub our full bellies as well.

I’ve returned several times after my original review. The owner was even kind enough to reach out to me, however, with my crazy travel schedule, I wasn’t able to connect with him to follow up on his generous offer.
Now that my work schedule has slowed down and I’m able to eat without having a laptop attached to my hip, I can rate the restaurant on something other than the wifi.
The food is great and the service is great. I would recommend the establishment. I’m glad I gave them a second chance.

Where to go for brunch when your group includes vegans, carnivores, healthy ones, decadent ones and kids? Well, the good egg is good for all age groups, diets and palates. It has a very pro-​local feel with the u of a uniform and southwestern fare, but it also has a down country feel too.
The menu is rather extensive and they proactively pull any under performing dishes. Which is sad in the case of the Sonoran tuna coleslaw which got pulled a couple of menu changes ago (I loved it but oh well). The menu also lists calories which is a big plus. The variety has plenty of options in the sweet, savory, omelet, sandwich and salad and southwest categories,
All of the dishes are consistently well executed and the service is on point. The presentation is always nice. The wait can get long on Sundays so it’s worthwhile to call ahead.

The Good Egg never disappoints (me, at least). Saturday amd Sunday mornings are always packed here so plan on waiting a few minutes at least OR if it’s just you and your significant other (or sidekick, or whatever) the «bar» is seat– yourself so I always snag those seats.
The French Toast has HUGE slices of bread and the skillets always fill me up.
Avoid getting coffee, though. I only had 1 cup and it was still $ 2.50! A bit of a ripoff but now I know for next time I’m there.

Wow! I was already impressed before my food even came. What I like, in summary:
1. There are a ton of families that eat here — lots of little ones and young folks everywhere
2. The greeters are very attentive and work to get you seated ASAP
3. The server calls you things like «honey» and «sweetie» — total homestyle
4. The place is tidy
5. The menu is huge! Took me a good 10 minutes to talk about the menu and finally decide what I wanted
6. They have a tasty local organic hot sauce (Arizona Pepper’s)
7. The sourdough is fluffy and thick — delicious!
On this visit, I got the country omelet without ham. Bacon and sausage were plenty.
I also got sourdough bread and got a side of the skillet potatoes. I was surprised to find that no grits are served here. What?! But that’s OK — because the restaurant serves a ton of side dishes.
I can only see one major downfalls here: The price-​to-​quantity ration is way off. Nearly $ 3 for a side of potatoes? And the omelet only comes with a side of bread? What?!
But the food is not at all greasy and has that wonderful «clean» taste to it, so you really have to write it off that you are paying for quality. This is no greasy spoon. Not even close. But if greasy spoon is what you seek, along with food with heft, I suggest trying out one of Tucson’s other fine family diners.
And if you have any attention-​related issues, beware. This place is busy — like, crazy busy. Yet, organized busy. Things just kind of flow together, so it shouldn’t be too-​too much of a distraction, especially after your food arrives.
