My husband and I are members of an international sailing association, and the Fort Lauderdale members meet at the Egg & You Diner each Sunday for breakfast. Since we were in the neighborhood, we decided we would take advantage of the opportunity to attend. We probably would have enjoyed the company of the like-minded people that we met anywhere, but we would also have been equally delighted with our experience at the Egg & You Diner had we stumbled on it ourselves. The Egg & You is reminiscent of a 1950s diner, and for good reason; we were told it has been in existence for 50+ years. The service is excellent—our coffee cups were never empty, and although the restaurant was very busy, the service came with a smile. I ordered my favorite—Eggs Benedict, and each element of it was cooked to perfection—no tough ham, cold muffins, or overcooked eggs as I’ve sometimes experienced elsewhere. It was one of the more expensive egg dishes at $6.95. The Eggs Florentine—a similar dish—cost the same, but the other egg dishes were $4.95 and included sausage or bacon, potatoes, and toast/muffins. All of the association members agreed that their eggs, sausages, and/or bacon could not have been better prepared. The diner is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, but we were informed that hours sometimes change, so the best thing to do is call ahead. (Phone: (954) 564-2045.) Lunch and dinner prices averaged about $8.50 and included such home-style favorites as liver and onions and beef tips. Parking is convenient; there is a lot right behind the diner.
