"We're more than just a couple of eggs...and that's no yolk!" reads the menu, and that was just the beginning of the charm. If you need frills and refined servers and napkins placed on your lap for you, don't eat here. If, however, you like to see the local retirees banter about the days' news, personal service from the waittress... more

I've had friends tell me to try it and I finally did. This place has one of the best, if not the best, breakfasts in Portsmouth. It has THE WORST COFFEE in a town full of coffee houses! Get the juice or milk and pass on the coffee! more

I had heard MANY great reviews of Golden Egg, so I recently gave it a try... One plus: My companion ordered an egg scramble with lobster and a nicer cheese that was very tasty. #1 there is always a line on weekends between 8:30-11:30. This is one reason I had waited 2 years since hearing about it, have driven back... more

I love the Golden Egg! Good food; it's worth going just for the HUGE variety of dishes available, from blueberry pancakes all the way down to wonderful omelettes and a wide selection of eggs benedict variations. One thing I would recommend though: don't even THINK about going on a weekend. Saturday or Sunday you'll be standing outside waiting at the... more

The Golden Egg is by far the best breakfast place there is. They have a diverse menu with lots of homemade pastries, muffins and breads and great specials everyday. I have also had occasion to dine for lunch and lunch is also great but I admit I go there most often for breakfast even at lunchtime. more

I had heard so many great things about The Golden Egg. My expectations must have been too high. The service was terrible. When the waitress brought our food, she plunked it down in front of us and then ran off. Yes, they were busy. There was a line. There is always a line. So, why not more employees to handle... more

I grew up in Portsmouth and to my disappointment now live in a town without the kind of fantastic breakfast place that the Golden Egg is. In my opinion it is the best breakfast place in the seacoast area. It is a tiny little place with no call ahead list, just a line you stand in once you arrive. Who... more
