This place is my new favorite breakfast place. We went there on a Saturday noon for brunch and had to wait for about minutes to get seated, which was totally worth the experience. This place seems to be very popular because all the seats were filled and everyone seemed to have a great time. The atmosphere is very casual and our server was super nice and attentive.
The menu is large and you will have many choices of sandwiches, omelets, and traditional american breakfasts. I had the green omelet with chicken, broccoli and some other green goodness, Salsa Verde on the side and my choice of seasoned potatoes and sour dough toast. The portions were big and I couldn't believe that I finished all of my food.
I will definitely be back for more. -

OK I like the place too. But let's not go crazy.
The eggs are fresh, but they also seem to shy away from actually seasoning anything. My egg sandwich (i forget their cute name for it) was good. Bigger than it needed to be and served on a croissant. They really should grill that croissant a little so it doesn't get so soggy. The seasoned potatoes are good, but could be hotter in my opinion.
The biggest problem with this place is the service. After waiting for your table you are greeted by a server who seems entirely overburdened. There is certainly no passion and for me that kind of ruins things for me. After I wait 30 minutes for a table, I am excited to sit down and eat. Having the serve kill that excitement is just disappointing. Also, this is not the cleanest place I have eaten. the booths are dirty and the place seems a little dingy. The toilet was broken... but no one from the restaurant knew... nor when I told them.. did anyone care. That's sort of how I feel. I don't really care about this place and I think my days of waiting for a table here have come to an end. -

We had to take my car into the shop early on Saturday morning so we considered grabbing some breakfast in the area as well. After checking my Yelp! bookmarks - I was happy to be reminded of the newer Centennial location of the Cracked Egg as we'd been going to the original Cheyenne location on and off for about 8 years now.
This location is a lot less crowded with a shorter wait time and a much larger seating area - all decorated in a traditional country-kitsch motif. I liked the fact that they have enough room to set the tables further apart here, it makes the space feels much more open and airy. I'm a big fan of the Cracked Egg's Veggie Benny and it was equally as great here. Two English muffins topped with spinach, poached eggs and hollandaise please - diet be damned! I prefer my breakfast with hash browns rather than fried potatoes and they do a good job here - taking the time to let the outside get all nice and crispy while the inside remains soft and buttery (if there's one thing that makes me sad, it's undercooked hash browns). The service was friendly, welcoming and efficient. I'd definitely come back to this location again, even if it is a little farther from my house - just for the shorter wait. -

Service was pleasant and quick. Ambiance was light and airy, with comfortable booths. They had a great kids menu, where they can draw and color.
Food was a little bland. I had the veggie croissant, bf got the pesto scramble with chicken. Friend got the carnitas omelette. It was good but heavy. Coffee cake was good. It was about $10 an entre.
Overall, just okay. -

Wowza, this place is popular!
Rolled up here on Saturday around 11:30am. 25 minute wait! Luckily, it was an absolutely beautiful day and we had no problem waiting outside. :)
When we were sat, we were greeted immediately by a guy taking our drink orders. There were four of us and he promptly brought us our drinks (water, coffee and orange juice).
We ordered:
*Bacon & Eggs- scrambled eggs, a couple slices of bacon, seasoned potatoes and toast or coffee cake. ($8.25)
-Three out of the four of us ordered this dish. The eggs were nice and fluffy! You get I think three pieces of bacon. I'm more of a crispy bacon kind-of-person and these were a little "rare" for me, but my husband liked them! The portion is HUGE! In fact, I ate most of the eggs, two tiny pieces of the seasoned potatoes (which covered half of the plate), one piece of bacon and I was stuffed!
*Build your own skillet: eggs, cheese & sausage ($9.25) and it comes with seasoned potatoes and toast or coffee cake.
-My husband enjoyed his skillet, which again was a huge portion. He LOVED the coffee cake which had caramel in it with a thin drizzle of icing on the top. I wish I had room to try it- it looked yummy!
I would definitely come back here. I would love to try some of their "funky" dishes, if I had someone, err two other people, to share it with!
Did I like it better than Egg Works? I would have to give this place a second try before making that call... -

It's an ok breakfast place, nothing to go crazy about. The long wait wasn't worth it. I had breakfast for two and sat at the counter with my kid. Their "seasoned" potatoes are frozen and bagged and their OJ isn't fresh. I had to sit there and listen to the manager talk to his buddy who was sitting next to me at the counter. He didn't even bother to ask if we were doing ok and while his staff hustled, he just stood there chatting with his buddy about personal issues. If its a party of three or less my advice is to buy the breakfast ingredients and make a nice breakfast at home, saving you money. For larger parties it's an average breakfast place. It's much like a cool, hip version of Denny's with variety in the menu and less room to sit.

Good breakfast place, always seem busy, but service is great. Cannot go wrong ordering anything on menu, it all is good. We haven't been to this one before today, but its part of the "egg" chain, and every time we go, we are never disappointed.
Today I got my usual omelet, the "califorina" with avocado, bacon, and cheese. It was huge and cooked just perfectly. Definitely will keep this on the breakfast list. -

The Cracked Egg is a nice place to grab a good breakfast or tasty lunch. It is on the smaller side, and it is pretty much always busy, so expect a wait. We try to hit it around 1pm on Saturday, and it's not as bad as around 11am.
Service is a little hit or miss; the servers have always been friendly, but sometimes on the slow side. Only once out of about 10 times did our food take too long. Seasoned potatoes are tasty, as are the skillets and sandwiches.
Downside: It is pricey for the type of food. I'm guessing that's because of its location. We haven't been to any of their other locations, so we can't compare. Check their website for coupons. -

This place needs work...
I'm sorry I tried twice and I'm afraid of coming back here after the last experience. The first time i came here with my sis and the guy, the food AND service was awful. I thought I'd give it another shot and I did-- and I don't know what the hell I was thinking. I should've left when the guy and I walked in and the place only had about 8 patrons including the both of us. We were seated and the lady seemed nice. Scanned the menu and looked at the prices, and it seemed pricier than the other breakfast places. Anyway, to make things short, we were seated, drink orders were taken, lady said she'd give us a couple of minutes--uh, more like forever. She even apologized she said she thought we were still looking at the menus, but really we were looking at our phones(YELPING..). The guy ordered steak and eggs(15 bucks) and I ordered two eggs(over easy) with a side of toast. Again, we waited. Not as long as we did earlier but it seemed like a while. THEN, the food came. Oh wait did I mention they "don't do medium rare steak orders" here. And it all made sense. The steak was bad! I mean it stank and it was old! Not to mention the fact that it made my bf sick. I should've told him to stop eating it when I smelled it. Uggh... And then came my eggs....how do you mess up eggs??!?!? Over easy--not sunny side up. Damn it cracked egg...
I really wish we enjoyed this place as much as the others did. But really? I'm probably being generous right now by giving them two stars.
I'm not sure if I would come back and try other things on the menu but if I did, it'll be a very long time. -
Review from Jennifer W.

I can't believe I haven't written a review for this place yet. I've probably been here more times than I can remember.
The layout of the restaurant is a bit weird. I like sitting in the section off to the side rather than where the door is. The front section is a bit cavernous and feels "warehousey" I am aware this is not a word, but it seems like the best description. Despite that, I am willing to tolerate it cause the food is good.
I think my favorite dish here is the Chicken Fried Steak. Smothered in country gravy and served with your choice of eggs, potatoes and toast. The steak is nicely breaded, superbly crispy and mouthwateringly yummy. I like to step it up a notch and sub the toast for biscuits with even more gravy. And of course I like scrambled eggs (when I like eggs) and the seasoned potatoes. My second "usual" is the Monte Cristo.
You know the saying, "stick to what you're used to." I should have heeded that one morning. I tried their raspberry french toast. Eww. Not happy. Not sweet. So unappetizing to me that I barely made it through one slice. Their presentation is a bit lacking but really what can I say. As far as local breakfast places go, I'm usually not in it for the presentation. Heck, most of the time I'm not even awake enough to appreciate it.
The portions are pretty generous and the service is quick and friendly. My bf likes it, I like it. The hot chocolate is good. All in all, a win win place for me. -

This place would get 5 stars if not for the biggest issue with the cracked egg...PRICES ARE WAY TOO HIGH!! I enjoy the food and it's always busy. The help is nice and courteous. The food is good but not expensive good. The can afford the prices thanks to the upper to high class homes right next door ;).

I come here all the time and never had a bad meal or horrible service :-) They are wonderful with children too! My toddler started getting restless and the waitress came right over with goodies in hand to help calm my little one down :-) Yummy food, sweet and attentive servers, good prices, why eat any place else? Plus when your done eating just go across the drive way and hit some golf balls on the painted desert golf course :-) Perfect Sunday morning

I thought Cracked Egg was great. Awesome variety and really good food. The service wasn't anything to write home about, but nothing to complain about either.
My husband had the peanut butter stuffed french toast, which was tasty but became too sweet to finish.
I had the chile verde rancheros. I will definitely order this again, but it was a portion large enough for me to skip lunch because I was still full.
We also shared the coffee cake based on recommendations on Yelp, and I would skip it next time. Tasted like a cake mix...
Expect to wait on the weekends, but I thought worth it. -

Oh no, a breakfast place that doesn't know how to make an omelet? For shame. Oh no, a restaurant staff that doesn't care if you enjoyed your meal, even worse. It's really too bad because the first time I went here the place was decent, it's why I decided to make a return trip, even though it's not technically in my 'hood.
I had the coffee cake again and though it is pretty good it's not good enough to have to throw the rest of the meal away. I had the omelet with all the meats thrown in because it sounded awesome. Good in theory with poor execution. Instead of fluffy folded eggs it was basically cracked eggs with meat loaded into in and all scrambled up in a round shape. You'd think it wouldn't matter but it was burnt and tasted just awful.
What was worse, when I went to pay and was asked how my meal was, I was honest. I got a shrug and an ho hum, oh well. I won't be back.1 Previous Review: Show all »

My daughter and I went there on a weekday after 12 and still had a 15 minute wait. But it was worth it. The cake was brought right away and warm which was a nice touch. Her egg croissant sandwich was big. She couldn't eat it all. My eggs with spinach and feta cheese was very good. Can't comment on the potatoes, but daughter liked them. I would give 5 stars but the coffee wasn't flavored. Still I would recommend eating there!

We went early (8AM) for Sunday breakfast ( family of 7). There was certainly plenty of food ( but is quantity better than quality?).
I had Tropical French Toast. Too much toast too little flavor.
Hubby had Cheeseburger and Bacon Skillet...just toooo much.
Kids had a variety of eggs and toast etc... nothing tremendously exciting.
Only drinks were orange juice for 3/7 and the bill was $88 with tip.
Service was satisfactory ( not outstanding).
The place became quite busy by 9AM and would certainly be standing room by 10AM.
Can't give a bad review, all the food was OK and there was alot. BUT not a place I would go to week after week.
The coffee cake ( tasted my sons) was good but not the best I ever tasted( a little dry). -
Review from J D.
Phoenix, AZ
Met a business associate here for a breakfast meeting the other day. I rarely come to this Cracked Egg location, but it was convenient at the time.
I ordered the Short Stack (2 giant Pankcakes). They were very good, as usual. The Cracked Egg rarely disappoints. This location was very busy when we were here on a Friday morning. However, the server kept up with the craziness and we were well taken care of. We also took our time since we were there to discuss business matters....not once were we felt unwelcome because we were taking our time.
Overall, great service, great food.
Will I return? You bet.Listed in: Breakfast Joynts, Ginormous Portions

I have had mixed opinions on this restaurant for a number of reasons.
The good:
The country fried steak and eggs are delicious! The portion is huge and the piece of country fried steak keeps it's crunchy composure when covered in the gravy.
Omelets- I haven't eaten a bad omelet here. The options are endless and all get served with nice fluffy eggs and those scrumptious fried potatoes!
The service- Is always top notch. Drinks are always refilled and you never have to wait 30 minutes for a check.
The not-so-good:
Eggs Benedict- I once ordered this entree and the piece of ham had a huge piece of cartilage in it. It spanned across half of the piece of ham. It was so unappetizing that it took me almost 6 months to return here to eat.
The long wait time- If you are unfortunate enough to get here after 9am on a weekend or on a holiday, be prepared to wait. I have waited in excess of 30 minutes for a table of 2. I attribute the long wait to the lack of non-IHOP breakfast joints in the Centennial Hills area. We need an omelet house over here! -
Review from Mark D.
3/1/2011
This place seem small and a bit confusing. Its in an area that you usually won't find a sit down restaurant. I guess its an okay location, but it looks like a place would be fitting for retail stores like Radio Shack or GNC. Doesn't really fit very well, but it is a nice place.
Inside was a bit decent, a bit roomy and seems clean. When we did get to our booth, we did find it odd that one side is roomy then the other side of the booth.
The staff seem kind of nice. The one who sat us down in our booth, didn't seem to happy. But the waitress that took our order was upbeat. The busser on the other hand, had issues. I'm sure there are a softer way to put dishes in a bucket, instead of making clanging sounds, to the point where it irritates our ears and makes us twitch every time he drops a plate in the bucket. So that was kind of annoying, either he doesn't know how to be gentle with dishes, or he's not really happy that he has to make the dishes clang and make us twitch. Uncool, unprofessional, and uncalled for.
The only thing that's making this okay, is the food, the nice setting and the waitress being nice. Otherwise I would of probably experience better if the staff look like they didn't want to work.
The food on the other hand, I really enjoyed. Had the steak and eggs and cooked to my satisfaction. So I give the cooks a very good recognition as well.
I guess, if you don't mind some of the staff being unhappy and there for the food. Then I would recommend it. Otherwise, I would try something else, if you want to be in a more upbeat kind of place that won't make you feel uncomfortable. -

Pretty decent!
Typical breakfast food.......omelets, scrambles, bacon and eggs, pancakes, etc.
The highlights:
~PUMPKIN walnut coffee cake.......moist and fluffy!
~Build your own skillets........ingenious!
~Lots of booths. I'm not a table and chair kinda girl.
My complaints:
~The coffee tasted stale and it wasn't really HOT.
~My husband and I weren't greeted or even acknowledged for about 10 minutes after being sat.........NO BUENO!
~The set up of the restaurant at this particular location is pretty poor......front door, hostess stand, people waiting/people eating all in the same small area. CLAUSTROPHOBIA!Listed in: BREAKFAST....

Great place! Great food and great service. I loved this place. Its small yeah, but I don't mind. I really liked it. We went for lunch on a Saturday and it wasn't very busy , so we walked right in and sat down. You have a choice of sitting at a counter ( thats right a real cafe counter) or at tables. Four of us had 2 Monte Cristo sandwhiches (thanks Yelpers for the tip that they served these here - hadn't had one in many a day) ( and no , were not big eaters) They were great, service was great, definitely will come back and in fact this is my new favorite place to eat lunch.

I've made two trips here. First time with my husband, we came on a Saturday morning and sat outside. I got Tori's tortilla with turkey sausage subbed for the chorizo. I got the coffee cake which was good..I was expecting something denser but it was super light-textured. Another yelper suspected a cake mix but I bake a lot and it seemed house-made legit. My husband got French toast and eggs...I had a bite of his French toast and it was good. My burrito was excellent...packed with veggies and scrambled eggs and cheese...I was super happy they have green Tabasco too.
Second visit was with my mom on a weekday morning. We were seated quickly and were soon drinking coffee. We both ordered a special - sweet potato skillet with cranberry sausage and eggs. We also got coffee cake. Like the first time it was super fluffy and had a good flavor but I'll just get toast next time and save some calories for eggs and cheese ;)
Skillets were good...I would have preferred more veggies and fewer sweet potatoes but I am a big veggie fan so take that Into account. I would have also liked something more acidic thrown into the mix so I ended up asking for my fave green tabasco again.
Service was good, nice variety and good quality of ingredients. Next time I plan to try lunch. They offer coupons every month on their website but make sure you check that out before you go as they need to be printed. -

Review from Trina T.

I want something other than the Omelet House and Jamm's to run to for breakfast, and I decided to finally try out the Cracked Egg. Located in a small business center, this breakfast place is busy and we had to wait for a few minutes to grab a table. When you walk in, it's a typical breakfast diner setting with interesting trinkets and artwork around. The menu is nice and simple and the service is great.
I ordered a denver omelette and my husband grabbed corned beef hash and eggs. We had to try their muffin cake thing, and it was goood. I know they microwave it to heat it up, but it still tastes pretty awesome. As for the breakfast items, they were not greasy, nice and hot, and very yummy. Everything was seasoned well and cooked perfectly.
I've yet to eat lunch here or try anything else on the menu, but once I do I'll be sure to update my review.
If you want a nice, quick breakfast for a reasonable price--and a great dessert cake muffin to start--grab a quick eat at this place. it's worth the trip. -

This place should change it's name to F*CKING AMAZING BURGER TOWN. In fact you herd it here and now you cracked bastard a name change is in effect. I've been to this place a number of times and have always ordered the same thing, which is the Blue Cheese Bacon Burger. It is by far the best burger I have had in Las Vegas to date. OK people before you get carried away I am not saying it is the best burger in sin city I am simply saying it is the best burger I have HAD in Vegas.
My wife and I had made our first visit to this fine establishment about a year ago, let me start off by saying I am not a breakfast person. Now I know what your thinking, but hold the slings and arrows for just minute and let me explain myself. It is not that I am apposed of eating a scrumptious meal in the morning, in fact I am quite fond of it, however for every waffley, syrupesc, eggtastic creation in existence I always seem to find something much more appealing on any lunch or dinner menu. Now my wife on the other hand being the complete opposite as one of those breakfast for dinner kind of folks, this is the perfect place for us.
So now with that being said if you are looking for a great place that serves both breakfast and lunch with no time restrictions this is the place for you. My wife has tried everything from the biscuits and gravy to the eggs benedict, to a southwest scramble I was particularly fond and everything has been extremely above par. Also I will say again they do make one tasty burger which , of course, is served with french fries that are also out of this world. So yeah I'll end by saying,"Go to The Cracked Egg". You will not be disappointed.Listed in: Northwestern Burger Joints

We had heard the place was remarkable.
The place was packed. Recovering from a bachelor's party from the night before (don't let your mind wander - it was playing Super Mario Bros. in Mount Charleston until our eyes bled), we needed a place to sober up, but we only had an hour before we had to head off to work.
When we walked in, we told our hostess this time constraint.
Her reply? "Oh, that shouldn't be a problem."
So what our hostess didn't tell us, after seating 4 additional smaller parties, that there was a boisterous wedding brunch on the other side of the restaurant and that our table would be greeted after the (one of two) servers was finished taking their order.
So they failed to communicate, but we'll have to deal. After all, we had heard the place was remarkable.
After 23 minutes without a "Hello," and a waiter serving all four of those parties sat after us, the five of us started to get up - it's not a dine and ditch if you don't receive anything. Only then did a waiter (casually chatting with a cook) dashed madly to our table looking suddenly concerned.
We rattled our requests off, and 40 minutes later we got our food. I do remember the food being above par (after all, we had heard the place was remarkable), but the service left such a bad taste in our mouth, I will not step foot in the location again.
Small cups and no refills didn't help.
Short-staffed? Sure. But we would liked the heads-up on that one before we sat down under a time crunch.
After all, we had heard the place was remarkable. Stay away. -

My friend swore this was the best place ever for breakfast, true it is good and it does have some signature breakfasts, but the service is hit or miss... sometimes you will get quick refills on coffee, other times you will sit there with an empty cup... I still go frequently
My biggest complaint.. the price.. 2 eggs and some bacon shouldn't be anywhere near 6 bucks in my opinion... there are good deals on the menu and bad ones.. I guess it depends on what you are in the mood for...
Oh and military discount??? Yeah you have to be in uniform to get it.. who in there right mind is going to be wearing their uniform on the weekend, and what does it matter if you are in uniform or not?!?!
If you go on the weekend, make sure you get there early, all the late nighters looking to cure a hangover will get there around 10 ish and the wait will be long, early yelper gets the worm! -

This is superclose to our house and thought to give it a try after recommendations for the other locations.
Been a couple of times and definitely is my spot for a friendly brunch. The servers we've gotten the 3 times so far have been nice and kept up on our drinks throughout...nothing makes me more upset than having a mouthful of syrupy delight and zero to wash it down. I had full drink the whole time. Was busy but we got a table right away twice and once just a simple 5 minute wait while a table cleared. We go closer to when they close so we probably scrap by rush.
Now onto foods-
1st time
Benedict Ole- YUMMY! Diced chicken and green chiles were a nice twist to this benedict and went really well all together. Probably my favorite non sweet dish so far.
Peanut Butter Stuffed French Toast- Really nice, served with bananas. Only downfall was it was very rich, but since my BF and I share dishes it broke up the richness so that we can enjoy more than a few bites.
2nd time
Joes Scramble- beef, cream cheese, spinach, scallions, cheddar and jack cheese . Good and big portions, again I got a side of their potatoes included and I like em. Nicely fluffy eggs, not overcooked.
Daily Special on the whiteboard- Special K covered french toast with fresh fruit. This was yummy! I love cereal and french toast (I do Captain Crunch at home but rarely make- messy). This wasnt overwhelmingly sweet or rich than our last french toast, just right.
3rd time
Montecristo- Turkey, Ham, cheese sandwich battered and fried. One of my guilty pleasure foods- and they do it right here. I guess everything is better deepfried like a twinkie, but here it was not soggy and served right away.
Waffle with fruit- yummy and simple comfort.
UPDATE- 6/12/10 Got the Joe's Scramble (ground beef, spinach, cream cheese, melted cheese) this was simple and good, but not a favorite. Croissant French Toast- this was yummy, eggy, and buttery. It came with a nice spread of bananas, blueberries, blackberries, strawberries that were all very fresh.
Overall has been pleasing service and food so will come whenever we actually wake up early enough to have brunch on weekends. This is definitely a favorite breakfast spot....Yummy and I'm not that big on breakfast really.
UPDATE 10/24/10
Got the Ole Benedict. Still yummies. Still my favorite. Service is consistently very good and friendly. Quality breakfast is a real treat when you're a night person and today we woke up early enough to come before they close. -

The Cracked Egg is a great Mom and Pop Brunch Cafe with a few locations in town. They have the BEST Biscuits and Gravy I have ever had. The Croissant French Toast is good as well as their omelets. They have decent prices and good old fashioned comfort food that keeps me coming back. However, I find it quite annoying that most of their dishes don't come with a choice of sausage or bacon and it cost an arm and a leg to order it on the side. Their bacon and sausage on the side costs more than buying it at a grocery store! Seriously, they are cheap meat so I don't see why they charge so much. I like sweet and salty meals. I just can't have one without the other. A girl needs her protein.

Yes, this IS a breakfast place, the 3rd one of the same name (NEWEST and closest to our place), but I do have to say, they make a damn good lunch. Their breakfast is good (I've converted many visitors to coffee cake lovers) but don't overlook their lunch selections. Actually, a wild idea, you can eat your lunch for breakfast!
They have some really great-tasting soups. They do seem to change daily so don't be afraid to ask, it never seems to be written on their whiteboard. In the past, they've had split pea, clam chowder and chicken tortilla.
My favorite is their burgers. They are very fresh tasting/looking. These are burgers that I crave! They are always cooked perfectly (medium for me, well-done for the hubby) and always taste so good! They are large in size and well worth the money ($6.95 - 8.25). We like the basics so we stick to cheeseburgers and they are always good. Although, when it is a special, I love their mushroom burger. I've yet to try their Kobe burger ($11.95) but I will add it to my must try list from this place.
Here's my hint when ordering, ask for their seasoned potatoes. Much better choice than their ordinary fries and are a perfect side with any breakfast. -

With tons of other breakfast spots in town, this ones pretty overrated and on the pricey side for what they offer. Nothing worth coming back for. I'd rather take the drive to Du-Pars, where they do breakfast right...ALOHA!!!

Yes Please and THANK YOU!!! Friendly service, reasonable prices, EXCELLENT BREAKFAST!!!! Oh My... I so LOVE the Chile Verde Rancheros!!! Their menu has a great variety and I keep wanting to try new things but I CRAVE this dish and cant seem to venture out yet. A ceramic skillet of corn tortilla topped with Chile Verde, black beans, eggs and jack cheese topped with sour cream with a side of potato of your choice; hash browns or seasoned potatoes. I normally prefer the seasoned potatoes but theirs arent all that fantastic. I think their hash-browns are much better. My hubby orders the Benedict Ole and swears by it!! Whatever you choose to order, I am sure you will not be disappointed. This place is usually full of people no matter what day of the week it is so that should say something! Definitely my Saturday morning breakfast place!
