Best grits, great biscuits, oatmeal and OJ, and cupcakes too!

by francesfr

West Egg has been a welcome addition to West Midtown. The food quality and value is great. Serving breakfast and lunch to a hip, local, artsy crowd with kids. Customers are diverse and have discovered West Egg is a small haven for patrons with kids. It wasn't always this way, but has become more so as of lately. Therefore, as I prefer a quieter, more adult atmosphere I no longer frequent West Egg but do adore their grits and appreciate their selection. The basics of omelettes, biscuits, benedicts, etc. along with pork, turkey or soy options, with specials which usually include a Mexican inspired breakfast burrito, to caesar and teriyaki salads and unqiue sandwiches makes this eatery a happy medium for all. Making the experience all that cheery is their homemade cookies and cupcakes! Service is good, food is great and prices are fair. The nearby construction of the White Provisions complex makes parking difficult. Off street parking available around the corner on Brady.

• Pros: menu options, grits, location, value
• Cons: wait can be long as w/ any breakfast joint, parking

Great brunch and coffee spot

by deevah678

This is a neighborhood spot for me and I really love the service and the great coffee shop style vibe. They have a great selection of coffees to choose from and their breakfast dishes are varied and affordable. I really appreciate that they offer very traditional as well as more creative breakfast options. The service is always friendly. I brought cupcakes to a client meeting instead of standard donuts and they were thrilled.

• Pros: Great Breakfast, Affordable, Friendly Service
• Cons: None

Brunch was great. But where's the cupcakes?

by IndyG

Brunch was delicious. I had the french toast and a sausage egg and cheese biscuit. I must say that the biscuits are some of the best I've ever had. I was a little disappointed to find out that they were out of the cupcakes I had heard so much about. I wasn't too pressed about it, but my girl insisted we come back the next day (Sunday) a little earlier to try to get one. On Sunday I got the banana bread french toast which was just as good as the regular french toast but a little heavier. This time we were lucky enough to get there while there were still 3 cupcakes left. My girl had our waitress reserve them for us, but apparently the message didn't get delivered and another waitress sold them to a different table. Cupcakes aren't really my thing so it didn't matter much to me, but my girl was upset... needless to say, it was a little harder for me to get the cupcakes after we got home.

Great food

by Esch

West Egg is a cool place with great food. Their breakfast is awesome. They are cool with kids which is hard to find around here. Wet Egg is a great neighborhood place to eat.

Yummy Brunch!

by liltraveler

I stopped by around 12:30 on a Saturday with a friend. We were seated within 10 minutes but it did take a little while to be seen to by our waiter. We both ordered a menu special that consisted of egg and turkey chorizo. It was very tasty as was our sweet tea. Portion and price were reasonable as well. I was hoping to try the Coca-Cola cupcake but they were all out by the time we got there. Same with the chocolate chip cookies. However, the red velvet cupcake we tried was delicious. The icing was buttery and the cake was moist. I guess next time we'll try to get there a bit earlier so we can try the others before they run out! The only real negative I have is that the parking was valet and I prefer to hang onto my keys if possible..personal quirk. We parked a few blocks away and walked. Maybe after the massive construction happening all around it is over the parking problems with be over, too.

• Pros: Great cupcakes, cute atmosphere
• Cons: Parking's a mess

Rude Server

by bobmichel

I came in for lunch today and to pick up my dozen assorted cupcakes. My lunch went very well and the food was delicious; however, the service at the counter to pick up my cupcake order was HORRIBLE!

I was standing near the counter where I saw my name on an empty box. A young girl with a brown West Egg hoodie came by, asked if I needed help. I said I was here to pick up my ordered (I pointed to the box). She said "You can pick it up", when I didn?t immediately do so she repeated herself 3 times, each time speaking slower and clearer as if I didn?t speak English or I was retarded. When she grabbed the box and opened it and saw that it was empty all she said was "OH". I then asked her how she felt after trying to make me feel like an idiot. Her smug response was "I feel fine". No sorry nothing.

She packed up my order, charged me my $25 gave me my change and said nothing more.

I?ve e-mail Jennifer the owner twice with no response what so ever. The disappointing cupcakes matched the disappointing service.

Great biscuits! Very pleasant early morning experience

by viningsbee

I'm typically terrible at getting up at a reasonable hour in the morning, but this morning I managed to be up on my feet by 6:30am. That's cause for celebration! I went looking for somewhere to eat. I was heading to Waffle House, but I noticed West Egg and decided to give it a shot. I was very pleased.

Getting there at 7:10am, there were maybe two other customers there. The waitress was very friendly and pleasant, and the food came out very quickly.

Pancakes - Very good, bordering on excellent. Big (but not too big), fluffy, soft, and yummy. I forgot to try the spicy butter, but I've heard others rave about it.

Biscuit - to DIE for! This was a truly excellent biscuit, in my opinion. Great taste, lightly chewy, and fluffy. I ordered mine with bacon and cheese (in a complete momentary lapse of reason I forgot to get egg on it as well).

I can't wait to bring friends here and to brag about my discovery. Give this place a try, folks.

Best Breakfast/Brunch On The Westside! Yummy Fried Green Tomato Wrap!

by jaymaygm

So many great choices in the ATL for Sunday Brunch. West Egg has now joined the ranks of Java Jive, Crescent Moon and Ria's Bluebird. And the prices are just amazing compared to other Brunch options. Hands down, for me, it's the Fried Green Tomato Wrap-Bacon, Scrambled Eggs, Horseradish Dill Cream and Cheese. This is pure new age Southern Breakfast nirvina. The gourmet coffees are terrific. My brunch companions love the Buttermilk Pancakes w/Spicy Honey Butter. And that Piemento Cheese and Bacon Omelette. Again, the prices are right on!

• Pros: New Age Southern Breakfast! Great Prices & Taste!
