The Egg & I Restaurant

I passed by this place a few times while visiting a friend this week. I finally decided to try it out and I was not disappointed! From the menu variety, to the artistry and presentation of the food, I was very impressed, to say the least! My waitress, Rebekah, was kind, professional, and very efficient. I had my order in and food ready within 15 minutes, and it was busy when I came in! Let me tell you about the food and drink, though 🤤 ! I indulged in the "Cinnamon Toast Cereal Milk" since I am a fan of Rum and a 90's kid at heart (Cinnamon Toast Crunch for the win ^/^ ) . It was smooth, with a good cold brew coffee base, mellow cinnamon undertones and a few little bursts of sweetness where the coconut milk and agave nectar agglomerated. The food was delightful and delectable in equal measure. The pumpkin pancake was large, decently thick, and fluffy. The pumpkin flavor was very reminiscent of pumpkin pie (shocker, I know 🤯), with just a hint of that seasonal pumpkin spice. Just imagine a warm, fluffy pumpkin pie flavored pancake, ahh, that's the stuff! The eggs, not to be outdone, were fluffy in equal or greater measure, and a light salting sharpened the flavor appreciably. Last, but certainly not least, was the sausage, which honestly was the most pleasant surprise for me. I'm usually indifferent when it comes to sausage, because while it tastes fine, it usually has an overpowering rich fatty taste. Not this sausage, though! I just reread the menu again and realized it was Chicken Sausage, so that's why, lol. Still! The flavor was phenomenal, but not overpowering compared to regular breakfast sausage. It was both distinctly pronounced, while at the same time not in your face. What a way to finish a gourmet breakfast, in my humble opinion. Thank you First Watch for a memorable first time and a delicious breakfast! I'll be sure to continue my patronage when I return to DFW =] !

The atmosphere was beautiful, has outdoor seating. All the staff are in masks and gloves due to the pandemic. My waiter was very attentive. I had the 2 for you lunch special, the Monterrey Club and the Chicken Avocado Chop, I also ordered a side of the tomato basil soup. Everything came out beautifully, food was carefully prepared, presentation was excellent! I added coffee on to my meal and overall it was $15 ! Cant beat that! To top off my wonderful experience, it all tasted absolutely amazing ! Would definitely recommend! I will and plan on being back! Thank you First Watch !
