Review: This is quite possibly the best value that Eleven has to offer. For only five dollars, you get three large eggs (any style), a huge helping of house potatoes and two large slices of toast. Add a cup of coffee to this and you have a full breakfast for under seven dollars. The price for a dish like this is comparable to most other diners in the city, but most other diners don't supply you with this much food. This is a great choice for a quick, inexpensive breakfast on your way to work.

Note (05/06/06): It's a steep increase to add meat to this simple breakfast dish, but in the end, the resulting price is still comparable to most other diners of Eleven's calibre. The bacon is served crispy, just the way I like it. I also noticed that Eleven has changed its potatoes once again. I have heard people gripe about each potato incarnation at Eleven, but I have enjoyed each variety. Instead of small crispy potato hunks, Eleven has switched, now, to thinly sliced and fried potatoes resembling a home-style hash brown dish. If I had to choose a favorite, I would choose the first incarnation of the potatoes. The latest variety of spuds, however, would be a whole lot better if it weren't so salty. It almost tastes as if these potatoes were prepared with chicken broth. I say that because the flavor reminds me of the chicken broth mashed potatoes my mother used to make.
