U.S. Egg in Tempe has triumphantly reopened its doors after a devastating fire in October 2024 forced a 15-month closure.

 

Located near Baseline Road and Mill Avenue, this beloved breakfast spot has been a cornerstone for both Tempe residents and Scottsdale-area diners seeking a hearty morning meal.

 

The fire, traced to a water heater malfunction, caused extensive damage, leading to a comprehensive $1.9 million rebuild.

 

During the closure, all 36 employees were reassigned to the restaurant's other Valley locations, ensuring job security for the staff.

 

Now, with a fully renovated interior and state-of-the-art kitchen equipment, the restaurant is ready to welcome back its loyal patrons.

 

Despite the extensive renovations, the menu remains unchanged, featuring favorites like protein pancakes, cornhusker breakfasts, and grilled omelets.

 

To celebrate the reopening and the restaurant's 40th anniversary, U.S. Egg is offering limited-time specials, including the $22.95 Forty Flight with champagne and cranmosa, and the $5.95 Celebration Mocha adorned with gold sprinkles.

 

For those in the Scottsdale area seeking a reliable brunch spot, U.S. Egg's Tempe location offers a familiar and comforting dining experience.

 

With its rich history and commitment to quality, it's a testament to the resilience and dedication of the family-owned establishment.

 

Whether you're a longtime fan or a first-time visitor, the reopening of U.S. Egg in Tempe is a welcome addition to the Valley's vibrant breakfast scene.
