Took 45 minutes to get our food because the waitress forgot to put our order in. I ordered cereal with skim milk. After she brought me the cereal with a glass of whole milk, I reminded her that I asked for skim. Then the owner came over and handed me a new glass of whole milk and said "we have no skim milk" and basically had the attitude like "take it or leave it" I'm really not that difficult so had I been told that they were out , I would have just accepted it. But how can a breakfast place be out of skim milk? Plus they could have been a little nicer about it. Additionally: They forgot a side of bacon. We had to ask for ketchup repeatedly They brought out white instead of wheat toast. The blueberry muffins were terrible. I think the only pro was that my group enjoyed the hash browns. Go somewhere else for breakfast! read more

I saw these bad reviews and ignored them because I thought, how bad can you screw up a simple breakfast? REALLY BAD. My strawberries were moldy, eggs were undercooked and gelatinous, toast was so soggy you could have rolled it up without without it breaking. Coffee was pretty good but that was it. Don't waste your money. read more

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME AT THIS PLACE! Servers are nice, but look lost. Bad management. Waited an 1 hour and 45 minutes for breakfast after placing the order. We checked to see what was going on and the order was not even entered. So many people complained after waiting, they just got up and left. Even after reading this and you decide to go here, write if am wrong. read more

The food was good but the service was subpar. There was four of us and we were seated outside near a septic area. We asked to move. The meal took awhile to get to us and paying was long too. We only ordered egg and bacon. Coffee was okay-- nothing to rave about. Prices were a little pricey for a hole in the wall place. There were two homeless people roaming the eatery. read more

Pass on this ,even though the outdoor seating is great, the food is horrible. I ordered an omelet and is was dry and GROSS. However our waitress was nice and attentive. Wish I checked it out on yelp first. We went because it was the only place with open tables... now I know why. read more

This place DOES NOT deserve the bad rep it gets here. Okay, it is not a 5-star establishment, but it doesn't pretend to be either. There are quite a few locals that come here on a regular and are perfectly okay with food and service. Yes, it could be busy, but you'd be a fool to come to a central spot on Main St on a weekend and expect to be seated and served immediately. Find me a place that does that and please share or shut up if you can't! Food is your typical breakfast food, I was never served anything that was burned, overseasoned or expired. I feel that sheep mentality kicks in and people rate this place 1 star after running into some insignificant issues with their orders and seeing other negative reviews here. I suggest you stop reviewing if you can't be objective. read more

Got seated, took 20 minutes for someone to ask if we wanted water/coffee. Took another hour after we ordered to actually get our food. It wasn't even packed. Food was okay but 100% not worth the wait read more

One of the worst breakfast places I have gone to. There was about 10 pounds of salt on my omelette and hash browns. I could literally not eat the food; it was that inedible. If I could've rated it 0 stars, I would have. read more

Eewwwwwwww! This place is so gross! The bathrooms were not sanitary! The food tasted like overcooked flour! I suggest to avoid this place like a plague! read more

We were very hungry and had just started on our way back to boston from cape cod. We had seen this place the night before and we had it in our mind that we might have some brunch here. Overall clean and nice ambience and food was freshly cooked too. read more

Slow service, ok food & unneccessarily expensive. Screaming kids everywhere! Also our hostess was dressed like a stripper.

Had a great time. Came after church. Got the Southern Biscuits (sausage & gravy). Great service and DELICIOUS FOOD! Will be back again!

Aside of metal shaving from a scrub pad, the food was good. Wait staff was a little slow, but again....the food was good. It may be because of my hella hangover, but the food was really good. read more

Monday morning before I left the Cape, my parents and I had brunch here. We always loved the kitschy quality of the Egg & I - We have been going down to the Cape since I was a baby - yet I never recalled eating there. We were walking down Main Street in Hyannis and spotted one, hence, a perfect opportunity to try it out. I'm not sure other E&I's are around the Cape, but this one was not good. I wasn't that hungry so I ordered a tea and a small cup of fresh strawberries. My father had a burger, and my mother had a garden salad. For such a small order, it took about 40 minutes for the food to arrive. The service was so slow! Also, My mother and I both agreed - the vegetables in her salad and the strawberries I ordered were not fresh at all. She also asked for olive oil and vinegar, and when the waitress brought them to the table, each bottle looked watered down and almost soapy. My dad said the contents looked like shampoo. On the bright side, my father did enjoy his hamburger, though he's not too much of a picky eater. The bill came to about $26, including tip. Perhaps the service and food quality is better at other Egg & I's on the Cape, but this one in Hyannis is not the best. read more

We enjoyed our brunch at Egg & I - I liked the Mediterranean omelet & Ry had eggs, toast, bacon & home fries.. Their serving of bacon was huge, toast was surprisingly yummy, & home fries were the winner on taste! They have a large outdoor seating area and indoor seating options as well - next time I would probably wait to sit outside. Our waitress was lovely but the table next to us had poor service with a different server so it seems a little hit or miss! Overall an average place with great home fries! read more

Overpriced and food was under average. Walked in thinking it was The Gourmet Brunch cause it was pouring.

The place for breakfast in Hyannis. Great food and excellent, friendly service. We try to stop there every time we are in the area. Everything on the menu is good. Something for everybody. And most importantly, good coffee. read more

Florentine Eggs Benedict....gross!....Capuccino...bland....Service....slow

Eew! It is gross! The bathrooms aren't even sanitary. The food is undercooked and the pancakes taste awful! It tasted like flour! Do not eat there! read more

The worst service I've ever experienced at a breakfast spot. The wait staff was irritable, impatient, and intolerable. The food was cold and took over a hour for eggs. Pass on this place for sure! read more

Cape Cod - Main st , the location is a gold mine - unfortunately this place suck big time. Poor service and the food is even worse. I had a ham omelette and the ham was bad quality - there are small parts that you can't chew. Bad place to start you day ! read more

This place had terrible service, a super long wait to be served, and mediocre food. I felt bad for our waitress, who at least did apologised for the wait. We would not recommend nor return! read more

Came here for brunch. Bad experience, waited about 30 to 35 minutes for the food to arrive. The food had finished and had been sitting out for quite a while waiting to be picked up and brought to our table. Ordered eggs over easy and they were ice cold by the time I got them. Asked the waitress if I can please get hot eggs. She begrudgingly took them back to the order window and told the cook "she said they are cold" When she unapologetically brought me fresh eggs, to be honest I was too afraid to eat them. Horrible experience, was disappointed in the service. never again. read more

This place is by far the WORST breakfast place I have ever been to. I came here with my family on the last day of our vacation and regret it immensely. We debated on multiple breakfast places and picked the Egg and I based on convenience of where we were at the time. We waited over an hour for our food and when we asked the waitress said it would be out in "5 minutes" meanwhile we watched food be served to 3 parties seated around us as we waited for ours. We watched multiple other parties leave around us without their food because of their incredibly slow service. We eventually got out undercooked and little to be desired meals. I DO NOT RECOMMEND this place to anyone. There are tons of breakfast places on Main Street in Hyannis. Go somewhere else. read more

I was worried about eating here because of the bad reviews, but everybody deserves a fresh start. The food came out SUPER quick. Potatoes were cold and kind of weird, but the rest of the meal was good. Excellent service. read more

The service is good and the people are nice but the food is tasteless. It best if you go someplace else even if you have to wait on a line to get in read more

Waitress is scatterbrained. Food eh. Salt shakers were caked up. Sugar clumpy. And expensive. Next time going next door to gourmet breakfast. read more

Waited almost an hour for our food. Some of the things on the menu were not available, and when our order finally DID arrive, it was also incorrect. The menu said we'd get challah bread for the french toast with that particular dish, but it arrived plain old Texas Toast style. Which, fine, but don't have things on your menu if that's not actually what you have to offer. read more

Went to first breakfast. Excellent Irish Benedict and I had eggs bacon and potatoes. Potatoes were excellent. Coffee great. Eggs good bacon great! I'd go back. Some of these reviews are really picky! Whether the whipped cream is sweetened! Seriously! read more

Ugh! Bad! Breakfast is the easiest meal but this place manages to mess it up! We were seated and left to wait for a lonnnng time. With a toddler and no coffee. When coffee was served I was not given milk/cream for another 15 minutes. Took almost an hour to get our food. Ive never had a soggy belgum waffle before read more

DO NOT GO HERE!!! This place is HORRIBLE! We waited over 45 minutes for our food, the place is outdated and unsanitary. Our waitress was trying her hardest to do a good job... no complaints for her. One person in our group got cold food and had an egg shell in her eggs. Honestly there are mush better places on Main Street to eat... don't let the cute exterior deceive you like it did us! read more

Our waitress was friendly and polite but that was about the only noteworthy point of my experience there. I ordered Irish Benedict, hash was basically cold mush and muffin was not toasted, home fries were sloppy yet burnt somehow? Completely flavorless food, and expensive to boot. Worst breakfast I've ever had in my life. read more

This restaurant is overpriced for what it is, breakfast. But, I gave it 4 stars because it was delicious. I had eggs Benedict with linguica instead of Canadian bacon. The linguica could have been thicker, it was 2 paper thin slices under the eggs and amazing sauce. The home fries are crispy and just plain great! We also ordered the 2 eggs with home fries and linguica...more deliciousness! Coffee was great too! Will definitely go again! read more

I saw the poor reviews, but had a hankering for breakfast food. We were sat by an aloof server/greeter, and brought menus. No drink orders were asked, and no explanation was given for the exceeding amount of time we sat waiting, though the restaurant was nearly empty. We had no choice but to leave. Maybe this place is trying to get on one of the restaurant rescue tv shows... read more

Tried to order one egg for the Eggs Benedict that came with three on the menu. Explained we would pay for the three but didn't want to waste the food. They said no! Can these people think? Never going back. Food was not good either. read more

The worst service ever!! My husband and were seated, we patiently waited for someone to come and take our drink order, no one came. 20min went by and still no one came to our table. We asked the "hostess" and she said someone would be right out, so we waited. Then, we saw people who had arrived after us getting service. Another table near us said they had the same problem. We just left as it was not worth the wait and aggravation. DON'T EAT HERE!!! read more

I wish I couldn't even give this place one star! My boyfriend ordered a cranberry juice which was immediately spilled all over both of us (okay accidents happen). Then we waited 45 minutes for our meals except for a cup of strawberries we spilt. Not once did the waiter come back over and ask if we needed refills or anything. When he finally did come over it wasn't a "sorry for the long wait" it was "it's the kitchens fault" that's all. The food was not worth a 45 minute wait and on top of that they charged us for the whole thing. They never even offered to comp us the cranberry juice. Next time I go to Hyannis I'm avoiding this place like the plague. read more

Let me preface this review with a little humble levity. I know that waiting on me can be horrible especially when I am with my family of 5, that requires 2 high chairs, sippy cups, and lots of patience. But this experience was out of this world bad. I ordered the Irish Benedict as I was hungry of hash and eggs and that sounded like a nice option. The corned beef hash had turned and so did my stomach. But the bus boy constantly coming over to remove 1 piece of trash and invading our space while we were still eating seemed unnecessary as the restaurant was almost empty and they did not to flip our table right away. You know what just skip this place. I wish I just waited 10 minutes for a table at the Daily Paper. It would have been cheaper and I wouldn't have to run to the restroom every 10 minutes. read more

Let's start with the four dollar orange juice that wasn't even freshly squeezed. The Greek salad was pitiful, and they didn't even have pita bread! When we sent back the clam chowder which tasted like it was from a can, the waitress made a face and didn't even apologize. Very unprofessional service. Tourist trap, overpriced chain...you know the deal, so stay away! read more

Wasn't overly pleased. The language barrier with the service was difficult and I'm multilingual. Food was basic. We went in tge middle of summer and a.c. was broke. We opted to sit indoor but it was ugly and stuffy so we moved outside. Prices we high but what would you expect for main street Hyannis in tourist season. I'd jyst like better service and food for what we paid. read more
