History

Established in 1987.

Back in 1987, Rayno and Patty Seaser wanted to create a daytime restaurant based on the simple premise that what guests really want is delicious food served by friendly people. From humble roots, that restaurant concept was born and first opened in Fort Collins, Colorado, and the rest, as they say, is history.

The Egg I Am Restaurant, part of The Egg & I Restaurant family, debuted in Gilbert in 2013 and has been serving our friends here ever since.

One of my favorite breakfast places. I think I could eat anything on the menu. Not sure why this place doesn’t have 5 stars. Everything I’ve tried has been good.

I would say good but not great. Ordered pancakes but had to flag down a server to get syrup. Worth a trip really. I’ll go back. Staff is friendly but seems a bit stressed with the crowded conditions on weekends. Good coffee.

People are friendly, food is good, atmosphere is relaxed. If they were to pay attention to tiny details, this would’ve been a 5* review. Either way, it’s a favorite for my husband and I. We’ll definitely be back.

Fairly decent food depending on what you order. Pancakes and waffles are delicious. «Crispy» bacon never comes out crispy and I end up leaving ½ the piece of chewy fat on the plate. Service is typically excellent.
One major irritation, and is a recent addition, is that you’re no longer handed a receipt to write a tip on privately but asked verbally in the crowded waiting area how much you want to tip. I don’t know what their problem is, but seems like they’re trying to guilt people into tipping more this way. I tip well, especially at breakfast where meals are cheaper, but announcing to the world is not ok.

Kellie was the best server ever!!! The food was good, but Kellie was great! I hope they treasure her. The kids had chocolate chip pancakes which they all enjoyed. The sausage patties got rave reviews from my son and I enjoyed my omelet with turkey sausage and cheese (I think the onions were forgotten but not the end of the world). All in all a good experience came at about 10:30 on a Saturday and only had like a 20 minute wait.

Came back again as promised yesterday. Ordered the huevos rancheros with the chorizo and both salsas. In a word, they knocked it out of the park and Mary Ellen was as usual awesome. Added a desert of the new lemon blueberry pancakes. The lemon pudding/​filling used as a spread is a little disappointing. I’d suggest lemon zest mixed in to the batter. The array of berries on top was solid.
Definitely better than my first trip here on 3⁄24.

I love this place and can’t go without getting the apple pancake. They are super accommodating. I’m pretty sure my dad never ordered off of the menu, but instead told the server what he was in the mood for and they would make it. It is basic breakfast food done well.

I forgot to update my reviews to some of my favorite restaurants. Last time I went to The Egg I Am was when my Great-​Grandmother and Grandma came to visit me. We wanted to treat them to a great breakfast and my Great-​Grandmother had cravings for pancakes. Our favorite waitress is this amazing British lady and luckily we had her when we sit down. My Great Grandmother had her pancake and everyone ordered their breakfast. I hadn’t seen our Grandparents for over 8 years due to us always being busy and living in another state but that morning it felt like we’ve been eating breakfast together every Sunday. So I wanted to say thank you –The Egg I Am-​for making that one morning very special. Your foods were just delicious and your service was as good as it gets:)

It wasn’t too shabby, but it’s nothing to write home about. I liked it better then the good egg. I got the Texas something and another. It was pretty good but I’m not a fan of ranch potatoes. I asked if they had hash browns and they don’t even serve em (bummer). The thing I kind of resented was that they don’t have a baby changing station in either bathroom. Went to change my daughter and I had to go to my car and change her. A little inconvenient, but oh well. The waitress was super nice. Moral of the story is we’ll be back but it won’t be a staple.

Food was ok, not incredibly special, biggest issue was the luke warm tepratures. It seemed it had been sitting for some time before it was served. The service was really poor and at one point had to go find my waitress to get my check. Just a poorly managed staff. Didn’t feel welcome and the hostess seemed bothered by our visit. Won’t return here and won’t recommend.

Egg and I restaurant had wonderful service, food was out fast. I had a spinach bacon omelet and liked the fact bacon was crumbled. My sister had frittata and liked it. They had a good kids menu also. Plenty of seating and no wait on Sunday at 930am.

I went in to have breakfast with my son. Right away we were greeted and sat by the friendly host.
As soon as I sat down my server greeted us at the table I ordered the citrus cooler it was very refreshing.
My son and I ordered the Raisin cinnamon french toast. Our server suggested cheese on my scrambled eggs and I went ahead and ordered it with spinach also. The french toast also comes with your choice of meat we got ham. Everything was great. French toast was really moist and it had cinnamon butter! Eggs were too runny for my liking but Ill know to order well done for next time.
Everyone in the restaurant is so friendly!

Took my 4 yr old for brunch yesterday, food was good, price was decent service was very good, but the man in the back screaming and yelling profanities actually scared my son to the point where he struggled to eat. If you take your kids ask to not sit by the kitchen. Food and service 4 stars, but had to give a 1 for obvious reasons.

The only issue I have with Unilocal is they don’t have negative star ratings. I’m not typically harsh on these type of diners/​cafes as you get what you pay for. It seemed like a cute place to eat, my food came out after about 25 min. and it was luke warm at best. I found what appeared to be a roach or some insect on my plate. The waitress quickly removed my plate and asked if I would like something else. The kitchen must be disgusting. No we will never return. If you have insects on your plate you have an infestation issue.

Good atmosphere, friendly staff, ordered orange juice (fresh squeezed) odwalla. For a $ 1.00 more you get a carafe for a second glass… nice. I ordered bisquits, gravy and eggs, gravy was a little spicy for me. The eggs were perfect. They don’t have an option for hash browns only breakfast potatoes and an option for crispier potatoes.

I’m giving it 5 stars b/​c it is as good as it gets. We’ve never been to a breakfast place that puts FRESH blueberries, raspberries and pineapple in their fruit cups. My husband loves the Berry-​ola steele cut oatmeal because of the fresh fruit. We’ve been here several times for lunch and breakfast and we’ve always been happy with our selections. We’ve always had cheerful, attentive servers no matter which one we get. The coffee here is pretty decent too.
Very nice clean interior.
I’m getting hungry just thinking about you Egg I Am!

Have been here several times, usually Saturday mornings (depending on the time you get there, you might have a slight wait, which is a positive indicator) and the food and service have always been very good bordering on the excellent if you are fortunate to have one of the ‘veterans’ be your server.
I usually get the garden frittata and it never disappoints, it always arrives hot and the veggies are fresh; the help is always friendly and the prices are absolutely fair in regards to the quality.
There is not an abundance of parking in this particular strip mall, so if you’re meeting a group on a known busy (weekend) day, I would advise car-​pooling.
Recommended.

Great place to check out on a Sunday morning. Our server was quick and pleasant. The food is pretty consistant and we rarely need to wait too long for our table or our food.
One of our go to spots for a Sunday breakfast.

Great service! Made suggestions about loaded potatoes, which interested my hubby for our next visit. Like the environment, feels «homey,» new and inviting, even though it’s a chain restaurant. It was busy at 9:45, had to wait 15 minutes to be seated. But not bad for a Satursay morning!
It was a bit humid in the restaurant. If it wasn’t cold outside, we would’ve sat out on the patio. Although, they do have heaters on the patio. I ordered over-​hard eggs, bacon and sausage. Bacon wasn’t crispy and the eggs could’ve been cooked longer so the yolk could be completely cooked. But to be fair, I didn’t ask for crispy bacon. Husband and niece loved their biscuits and gravy! Mother in law loved the sourdough bread, but thought the bacon was under-​cooked.
Our waitress was nice to ask if we wanted cups to take our drinks to go. Good server. I liked this place and the food was pretty good. We’ll come back again.

Went to the Egg I am for the first time. We wanted to try something different and came across this place through Unilocal.There were a lot of great reviews so we decided to give it a go!
Loved it! Food was delicious, reasonably priced and everyone was super friendly. Our order was placed and arrived at our table with in 5 minutes. It was so fast!
The restaurant itself is a typical looking breakfast atmosphere… not huge, which I like. We ate outside on the patio which I love to do when the weather here in AZ. permits
If you are looking for a new breakfast place, give this one a go. Looks like they have a great lunch menu as well.

Decent breakfast chow, in a nice setting coupled w/​friendly service.
Broad menu and our party were all pleased w/​their food. Biscuits and gravy were just okay, but the pork sausage patties were very tasty. Sole potato option is of the diced variety, and it would be nice if hash browns were added to the menu. Service was friendly and efficient.
We arrived on a Sunday before 8, and were immediately seated. By 0815, the place was nearly full. Outdoor seating is plentiful, which was good for the sweaty bicyclists that arrived en masse after their road workout.
Cheers!

I tried The Egg I Am on Sunday Morning at about 10 am. Upon arrival, we put our names on the list as there was a wait. After about a 15 – 20 minute wait for our table for two, we were seated. The restaurant has a typical breakfast joint feel; country. The seats were fairly uncomfortable.
We were promptly greeted by our server and our drink order was taken. Shortly thereafter, our drinks were served. Our food took about 15 minutes which was an appropriate amount of time I thought for how busy they were. I ordered the Viva La France which was 2 slices of french toast, 2 eggs your way and 2 slices of bacon. They food expediter brought out our food and did not bring me syrup so I had to ask for it. The food was ok, actually the eggs were good and buttery but the french toast was so-​so. All in all, The Egg I Am is good. While a little pricier than it needs to be but not exorbitant, it is an ok place for breakfast. Next time, I may try for lunch.
