The service is top notch. It takes awhile to get your food because The BigEgg is always busy it seems. But, it's so worth it.

I had the Arbor Lodge and my boyfriend has the Portlander which he commented had the best veggie sausage he had ever had. My egg was cooked perfectly and was accompanied by delicious sauteed Portabello slices, tangy sauce, arugula on toasted bread. We are both picky about where our eggs come from so it's nice to know they use vegetarian feed, local ones. I also appreciate the packaging which looks earth friendly. The only negatives were the wait, there were two single customer ahead of us and our wait was a solid 10 minutes, but I had the day off, so I didn't care. My boyfriend was annoyed by the woman not helping in anyway regarding decisions on the best cheese choice, etc. As both former food service employees, it is annoying when people ask what would be best with what they are ordering because how would a server know what it is that you like, but sometimes you just have to fake it. Saying "I don't know" two or three times, is dismissive, especially when you are not busy. I think it shows you care about the person getting their order just right. We will definitely be back soon.

(thank god for The Big Egg). Weekends are so much more enjoyable now that my wife, our pooch and I have made "TBE" part of our routine. The Breakfast Wrap is perfection on a tortilla.

Yum-Oh as Rachel Ray would say. The ladies were also very helpful with information for my Hillsboro Food Cart venture. I really appreciate Portlanders who are cheerful and smile despite the rain. BTW.. if anyone is feeling the squeeze here in Portland and is interested in expanding into the wild and unexplored culinary frontier of Hillsboro please email me.
