TL;DR
Yes — at many Egyptian all-inclusive resorts, the advertised service level often doesn't materialize until you tip staff directly; after that, food and service noticeably improve.
Even experienced travelers note that the promised all-inclusive service level doesn't materialize without tipping. Tip both restaurant waiters and beach attendants.
Stick to the same food stations for breakfast/lunch so staff recognize you; after tipping, they'll spot you in the crowd, give bigger portions (like extra fish), and cook omelets exactly the way you ask.
After tipping, staff attitude improves across the whole resort, not just one restaurant — the overall vacation experience feels noticeably better.
