  I mean how can you not give this place 5* .....not because it's actually that good food wise but because it's a Birmingham institution!! Located near Arcadian and hurst street mr egg has been there as long as I can remember selling all your usual take away foods until late late. Back in the day the shop was double the size with a huge egg muriel on the roof.....legendary....but this has now sadly been taken down and the place is now smaller but I'm happy to say still frying up
  Some late night fuel for party goers of the area.
  
  This is one of those places that's just loved by locals....it's not going to give you a gourmet burger and fries....it's a classic greasy spoon style burger and tray of chunky chips for you....but it's from mr egg.....so it's amazing

  If they where to put up a sign it should say "enter at own risk".
  
  Compared to most places l have been to in the past this one looks a little from the 1970's yes it is quite dated, and the smell in here looks to have lingered from that era also.
  
  This place is sells cheap food and so are the prices, this is the sort of place that you end up after 10 pints of beer in the town.

  MR EGG HAS RETURNED and is a shadow of his former self at only half the size of the original.
  
  Gone are the grubby seats and the weird, egg parachute thingy on the ceiling. The food is still cheap, there's no doubt about that, but can you still "eat like a queen for £1.50"? That's what I want to know...
  
  I had some chips. They were ok. Something put me off ordering egg though. I'll have to psych myself up for it next time and report back to you.

  WHO IS MR EGG?
  
  Some say he was an expriment that escaped from the dungeons of the chinese super market, only to arrive at the Arcadian hurt and close to death. The rain was pounding down and Mr Egg took one more look up to see his refection in the mirror of an empty shop. Mr Egg used the last of his energy to crawl into the shop door and the rest is history.
  
  Basic take away food, quality is substandard and the only good thing about this place is still the name.
  
  Surprisingly not that many eggs on the menu. Maybe should one should suggest eggy bread to Mr Egg?

  If it's the early hours of the morning and you are still stinking drunk and all you need is dirty, greasy, nastily good, beer soaking food then Mr Egg was created with you in mind.
  
  Mr Egg is your typical greasy spoon, mind you don't slip as you enter. Food made to order and it's dirt cheap. The flavours are far from magnificent and the service...well, pat yourself on the back if you get a smile out of someone but don't let this put you off. If you're on your way to work and you need to get rid of your boozy breath from the night before then a greased up sausage sarnie or cheesy chips will sort you right out.
  
  NOTE: I've had eggs from here before and they were cooked perfectly. Nice and runny as I had requested.
  
  I hope Mr Egg really is a man with the surname Egg and not an egg who happens to own a cafe.
