“My personal favorite,” reflects Eggs Up Grill owner Mike McClure, “is definitely the corned beef hash eggs benedict. One bite and you’re hooked.” His endorsement of this unique take on a classic breakfast dish should be taken very seriously, as McClure is a seasoned veteran of the breakfast taste wars. For over 20 years, he has been in the restaurant industry, specifically in the world of breakfast, the most important meal of the day. At the Eggs Up Grill, he enjoys overseeing perfection in every dish with hands-on management, including working behind the grill himself.
McClure and wife Judy opened the Eggs Up Grill in December 2016 to fill a gap they saw in the East Cobb dining scene. Not only were there limited options for breakfast and brunch, but there were none that took the term “from scratch” to heart. The McClures take great pride in the fact that no food at the restaurant comes from a factory–prepared, diced, cooked and frozen– to be passed off as “fresh.” The recipes are made with freshly cut fruit, potatoes, made to order waffles and more. The brunch menu is expansive as well, including a variety of salads, soups, sandwiches and wraps. “We certainly do a lot of slicing, dicing and seasoning in the kitchen,” says McClure, “and it is worth all the effort. You simply cannot serve the best tasting foods without the freshest ingredients.”
East Cobbers agree. The Eggs Up Grill has been lighting up social media review sites with high marks in its first months of operation. McClure believes it is the combination of great food, service and variety that is bringing diners back for more. “It’s fun to serve special dishes for those health conscience customers who are cutting calories or carbs but want exotic flavors and seasonings. The egg white omelets are a big hit but never boring. Turkey bacon, feta, spinach and mushrooms can combine into one huge guilt-free plate of happiness.”
The restaurant welcomes clubs, study, networking and bible groups, and moms gathering with their tots for coffee and conversation on any given morning. But for those with no time to linger over that second cup, take-out orders can be called in and prepared lickety split. Eggs Up Grill is located in the Shallowford Corners shopping center, 4401 Shallowford Road in Roswell/East Cobb. They are open 7 days a week, 6am – 2:30pm. For more information, call 770-559-9057.
