We dropped into the Egg It On Cafe at the suggestion of our daughter while visiting in Broken Arrow.
Living in Owasso, BA is pretty far off our beaten path, but the timing was right for this visit.
We arrived mid-morning on a Saturday, and were seated immediately. Menus were given and drink orders were taken, and we were off to a good start.
The Kid went with the Chicken Tenders, The Wife with the Pancake Trio, and I opted to go another route, choosing the Okie Train Frittata. I mean, how often do you find a frittata on a menu around here?
The wait was agreeably short and the plates hit the table in good time.
The Kid's chicken tenders were well done, nicely battered and fried, with good french fries on the side.
The Wife's breakfast was quite a lot more than she bargained for. The two cakes were easily plate-sized each, much more than she could manage. The eggs were cooked perfectly, and the single link sausage nicely done. The links are substantially larger than your run of the mill breakfast link that you're used to, running to a halfway between that and a full blown sandwich sized link. Not sure if they make them in house or buy them, but either way, the bite I got was pretty good, Mild, subtle seasoning with just the right snap to the casing. Good job all around on that one, with the only negative being just one link.
My frittata was also a pleasant surprise. While the eggs were a little overcooked to my taste, it was still a great choice. With bacon and sausage cooked in with the eggs, and sauteed onions on top, covered with sausage gravy, it was a hearty and satisfying component of the meal.
The accompanying biscuit was light, flaky and all around great. That said, the gravy, while possessing a good flavor, was too thick for my preferences. I like a gravy that moves around a little on it's own, and this was thick enough I had to spread it around. Still, that's just a preference, and not a reflection on the overall quality.
The only thing I really took exception with was the hashbrowns. They failed to hit a note with me. First, they were barely warm, and they were overly dry. I suspect that's a common problem with the hashbrowns served here, because they were much finer than the normal, thicker cut hashbrowns most places use. Being that thin, there's nowhere to retain any moisture when they cook, so if they're held for any length of time they end up being dry and overly crunchy. All that together tells me these had probably been sitting in a pan on the flattop far longer than they should have been.
Service was top notch, and the decor was more upscale than you would expect of a breakfast diner.
All things considered, hashbrowns aside, we left happy and full.
