Food:

Great simplistic service and worked fast, good food... Coffee was mediocre though

I went to this place for lunch today. The waiter has not been properly trained, and is not a waiter at all. It seems like he was a former bus boy that was thrown into the position of waiter. After I was seated and presented a menu he came and took my order. He was not able to described anything. I told him what I wanted to order. He did not ask if I wanted anything to drink. I wanted a milk shake, but, was never given an opportunity to ask for one. A food runner delivered my food, and I asked him if they had milk shakes. He did not understand what I wanted. He did not speak English. After one minute the waiter came back when my mouth was full of food and put my check on the table, then immediately left, not saying or asking anything. He never returned after that. I wanted to order carrot cake and waited 25 minutes after I finished my meal, but he never returned to find out if I needed anything, or if everything was ok. I hate it when they give you the bill before you finish. The food was ok. The service was awful. When I told the cashier about my experience, she said she would talk to him. Ha. Why don't they hire waiters, instead of promoting bus boys and then not training them. I don't think I will ever go back.

Food:

Showed up around 9:30am on a Saturday. There was a short wait for three of us even though it was a pretty busy weekend. One boy ordered the steak and eggs, one the corned beef hash, & I had the biscuits and gravy. Pretty much our favorite meals. We're pretty particular about our breakfasts, so based on the reviews, we were cautiously optimistic. It took a little bit of time for our food to come out, but we were all really satisfied.
Although they only had pan fried potatoes (also called american fries) instead of hash browns, the waiter suggested we order them 'crispy', and they were great. I would have preferred a couple sausage patties or more than a single link with the biscuits & gravy, but everything else was great.

We ate here this morning - 9/4/15. Food was good but nothing special. It came out way too quick to be anything other than ore made & microwaved or sitting in heat trays. Service was horrible. The people were nice but hard to get back once food is brought. Seated quick but once our food came the waiter never came back. We waited for our check for 10 minutes and decided to just go to the register since our waiter wouldn't stop. Had to have the bill fixed as we got charged for items we didn't order & we barely got a sorry for mistake.

We won't be going back & will definitely stick to others in the area.

Food:

Service was phenomenal and the food was delicious! It wasn't even 10 minutes from the time we ordered and our food came out. Also, our server was very pleasant and efficient. There's a good reason this place is busy. Totally recommend West Egg!
