Upon entering the yellow building, there is a sign listing the day's specials, and advising all to " please wait to be seated". In less than a minute a friendly waitress asked if I was alone, then motioned to follow her. She seated me at a plush seat with a window view, on a large clean table with condiments, asked what I wanted to drink, and left. Another waitress appeared a few seconds later with a big, artistic lettered menu. After perusing the first two pages and finding no omelet, I naively asked if they had any. She said in a sweet southern twang to turn the page, and did so for me. I ordered a ham omelet with home fries and rye toast. Less than five minutes after I had lost myself in the morning paper, she reappeared with a generous platter. Although I have paid less for the same order at other restaurants, this is the fastest service and largest portions ever. The decor is wood paneling on the walls and wood inlay tile on the floor.A brick paneled wall behind the counter and a waist high brick partition in the middle of the floor give the place an old west feel. There are egg platter neon signs above the brick wall. Along the four corners of the ceiling are macrame baskets with drooping plants. The place was crowded about mid morning saturday. I was immediately attended at the counter on my way out. The Egg Platter is at 6500 34th Street North, which is US19 highway, in St.Petersburg,Florida.
