Once but a morning timeshare with deceased hot dog joint Sparky's, Egg (while still breakfast-centric) now serves three meals per day. Inside Williamsburg diners are treated with farm-fresh eats, paper tablecloths and crayons and country tunes. Prices are a couple bucks less than neighboring brunch places, pleasing early-waking parents with kids, as well as singles who get to loaf until noon. The restuarant has its own farm, Oak Hill, located 2 1/2 hours north of Brooklyn, meaning that everything from its hearty egg dishes to its vegetables are guaranteed fresh and organic. The homemade biscuits and gravy, Grafton cheddar omelet and fried half-chicken are just a few of the highlights on the menu.

egg may have made it to the front page of New York mag but there is no justifying the slow wait and poor service

After spending a picture perfect day shopping in Williamsburg (one of my new fave places), a friend and I headed into Egg (after looking for Sparky's) based upon the menu and the prices. From beginning to end, it was a very pleasant experience. We were tended to immediately.. she ordered the french press coffee that she loved (was a little disappointed that there were no free refills--guess cuz it wasn't the run of the mill coffee). I ordered the mimosa which I was expecting in the normal small flute and was pleasantly surprised that it was in a wine (almost goblet) sized glass. Great extra was when they brought out the boiled peanuts which I loved from my trips down South. Yummy! We ordered the pate for a starter which was tasty. My friend ordered the french toast which was a bit overdone for her taste but she said was really good. I ordered the country ham, biscuit, fig jelly entree which was good but a bit salty with the cheese and the ham.. was looking for more of a real sweet/salty and the sweet wasn't really there. It was still good. The grits.. not a fan of the grits. I like mine creamy and this was far from creamy. Maggie the waitress was one of the best that I've had. She was a great touch to a good place that I will definitely return to.

Its really really good. The eggs are all farm fresh and the baked goods are sooooooo yummy, too. The coffee is really amazing (served in a french press, its strong and robust). The jam is obviouslty homemade and every flavor they have ever offered has been exceptional. The toast is actually one of my favorite parts of the breakfast. It is hearty, buttery and satisfying. You cannot go wrong with the grafton cheddar omelette or the scrambled eggs. I adore the sugared bacon. It is heavenly. The waitresses do vary between down to buisness snotty and sweet and doe eyed pleaser...
