We arrived a few minutes before the 7am opening and waited on a bench outside. We were greeted at the door by a "CASH ONLY-ATM INSIDE" sign and should have left then. We felt pressured and rushed by our less than personable waiter to order. This was a process made SO much more difficult by the glaring lack of a kids menu despite the fact that every other table had children present!! You have highchairs but no kids menu! Some of us in our party drink coffee like it is our job ....however our coffee was disgustingly strong and bitter, no amount of creamer could fix it. Doing our best to order for two young girls in our party we ordered each girl an english muffin with a side of bacon. The english muffins were brought to the table on one single plate and we had to request a second plate so each child could have their own breakfast. A breakfast burrito was to have included a side of sour cream and salsa but it only arrived with salsa. The menu stated 'homemade muffins'. When we inquired about muffin flavors the only muffin choice was blueberry. We ordered one and despite it not saying so, it arrived sliced and deeply grilled and greasy. Another person's food was not brought to table at all and was an afterthought by the waiter only after he realized he had nothing to set down in front of my husband. When he finally did come back with his plate he was literally singing, no apology or here you go sorry for the wait. AND it was not even correct, despite having ordered over-hard eggs he was given scrambled eggs that looked as if they had been sitting out in the cold for 15 minutes! Some things were dripping in butter, others were bone dry. The home fries were soggy and limp, the bacon was inconsistent and raw in spots. We haven't been to "The Egg & I" in years and as far as I am concerned they can change their name to "The Egg & Anybody Else But Me" !! A few more centuries will have to elapse before we forget and try again! Do yourself, your family and your wallet a favor and just go to Dunkin' or McDonald's!
