Casual American diner with homestyle breakfast & lunch faves
"This is the kind of breakfast restaurant you see characters chowing down at on TV or that you remember sharing waffles with your grandparents as a kid. It’s as down-home and cozy as it gets, filled with the familiar clatter of forks on plates — and the less-familiar rumble of a model train roving along the restaurant’s ceiling. True to its name, eggs are the way to go here. The chile relleno omelet with salsa and seasoned potatoes is the way to go. Whatever you order, opt for the banana nut muffin rather than the toast. Multiple locations, including Egg Works." - Janna Karel
"The original Egg & I features a dog-friendly patio, as do the sister restaurants that go by the name Egg Works. All locations serve omelets, Benedicts, and other breakfast favorites along with American and Mexican lunch specialties. Water bowls, dog treats, and a canine-loving staff make pets feel comfortable." - Janna Karel
"The Egg & I based its name on the 1940s-American memoir written by Betty MacDonald that was later made into a movie starring Claudette Colbert and Fred MacMurray. The breakfast burrito features scrambled eggs with pork sausage, house-roasted onions, green chiles, seasoned ranch potatoes, Jack and cheddar, wrapped in a flour tortilla and topped with salsa or pork green chili and fresh herbs. Served with lettuce, tomatoes, sour cream, smashed avocado, and a side of seasoned ranch potatoes." - Maddy Sweitzer-Lamme
"The nine Las Vegas locations operated by this breakfast restaurant chain filed a business-interruption class action alleging insurers US Specialty Insurance/Tokio Marine and ACUITY unjustly denied coverage after pandemic-related closures. Owner Brad Burdsall sued in U.S. District Court in Nevada on April 24, saying Gov. Steve Sisolak’s March 17 closure order and subsequent stay-at-home directive forced a shift to curbside and takeout—options he argues cannot meet the chain’s standards for food quality, service, and dining experience. Burdsall, who bought business-interruption coverage in 1998 to protect his businesses and 400+ employees, says the policy is an “all risks” policy that excludes avian influenza but does not mention COVID-19; he requested payment on April 22 and alleges the insurers have not responded. The filing is presented as part of a broader, nationwide wave of restaurant owners seeking payouts after insurers refused pandemic-related claims." - Susan Stapleton
