You know, not IHOP/Dennys like, but a good quality egg-based breakfast restaurant.
Phoenix practically has one on every corner but I have yet to notice one here. Surely it must exist in N. VA? |

| A second for Eggspectations. Just off Rt. 28 at Westfields. |

There's a place on Main Street in Clifton thats got great b-fast. Yes, Eggspectation is good but Silver Diner has really stepped up with their menu changes and locally-sourced ingredients.
I find the Original House of Pancakes in Bethesda to be the best out of this area's locations. |

| Silver Diner is about on the same level as Denny's and Bob and Ediths is overrated and greasy. Neither like the places in Phoenix. |

OP here, thanks for the recommendations.
I've never eaten at the Silver Diner but am willing to give each of these places a shot. I actually drove past Eggspectations today -- typically not in that area, but would like to go back and eat there now! As far as "desert hell-hole", perhaps one should reserve judgement, having never been there! Their summers are akin to winters for the rest of us -- but I love the sun and warmth. I find summers here more miserable, honestly. Would live there in an instant were it a viable employment location for us. |

I am not quite sure what an egg based restaurant is; do you mean like a breakfast diner? The nay egg based place i can think of is Eggspectations. But if you mean diners, there a few. There are couple of good diners on 29 heading toward Arlington. Amphora (in Herndon and Vienna) is pretty decent. Silver Diner is nothing like Denny's, aside from being a chain. Their breakfast potatoes are butt, in my opinion, but the rest of the breakfast menu is good. |

| Also, try the Pancake House in Falls Church (moved over to rt 29, I think). |

Yep, a good quality breakfast restaurant, but one centered around eggs rather than pancakes/waffles/heart attacks 
Awesome, thanks for the list! |

| Eggs are high cholesterol unless they are egg whites, prepared with little/no butter. I assune you know that, though. |

Right, but there's a massive difference between a two egg omelette and going out to have some chocolate chip pancake platter at denny's. Eggs are healthy, provided one does not overdo it.
