Popped in this morning to get breakfast for the team in the office, welcomed in by a lovely chatty guy. The order was ready in 5 minutes, we went for the "egg daddy's" lattice fries and hash browns. The food was stunning, simply stunning! The buns were tasty, but the fluffy eggs with chives and Aberdeen Angus patties were outstanding! As good as a burger as I've had anywhere! Awesome! The lattice fries and the hash browns hit the stop too. Top quality food! Definitely going back there!

Reviews
I've been meaning to try this place out since it opened and it more than exceeded my expectations. It was a rainy day but I was met with a warm welcome from one of the owners, Ash, who took my order and brought my items as they became ready. I decided to sit in and although there wasn't much seating space, it was comfortable and I had a lovely chat with Ash, another member of staff and other customers who came in. The food was fantastic. I ordered The Big Cheese, a side of hash browns and the Daddy's Special latte. It's the best breakfast I've had in some time! It's a great niche within the Glasgow food scene and from talking to Ash, you can really tell he's really passionate about what he does, the food they produce and getting to know his customers. I'll definitely be back!
Read on Google MapsPopped in on a Sunday morning for breakfast. It was really quiet on the street so parking is not an issue on a Sunday morning. Walked in an a guy came out from the back and took our order right away. Waited about 5 mins for the food which did not disappoint. I had the Smash Daddy which I really enjoyed. The eggs are absolutely amazing. You can have the choice of scrambled or fried, but I can easily recommend the scrambled! My wife had the Sausage Sizzler which she also really enjoyed. Will be back!
Read on Google MapsTried Egg Daddy today and it was amazing! The eggs were incredibly fluffy soft and fresh, just like you'd hope for. The burger was flavorful, and you can really taste the quality of the ingredients. Plus, everything is halal, which is a huge bonus. Definitely recommend 'The smash daddy' burger. Will be coming back for sure!
Read on Google MapsAmazing place. I had The Scotsman, which was soft scrambled eggs with cheddar, potato scone and sriracha mayo on a brioche bun. The eggs were delicate and creamy, while still being very light and delicious. The brioche bun was light, buttery and sweet - a perfect compliment to the eggs. I had a side of hash browns which were delicious and crispy. Great place with great food in an area that'll be the next trendy place in Glasgow.
