Love the menu- Red Velvet or Cinnamon Roll French toast... just imagine the other ways to start your day. Fun cold and hot coffee options as well. Enjoy your morning! read more

Most of the breakfast menu offerings are above and beyond the egg variety, with lots of interesting variations. I've only had one that I didn't really care for. Too much tomato sauce not enough spice. It's also good that they list the calories for each item on the menu. Yes this guides my selection. I don't want one meal to be 800 or 900 cal! read more

breakfast&lunch spot, perfect for brunch! They also have an entire gluten free menu, helpful for those who need it. Nice service good food can't complain. read more

Meh.... my first time here and not a good experience at all. Restaurant was not busy... maybe because it's Monday? I don't know .... it was good for me because I came from a meeting and I don't like being rushed eating.... My server was telling the next table what the specials for the day is but when she came to my table, she asked if I'm ready to order.... Didn't even tell me her name or anything.... Welp... I was in a business suit, so it can't be because I'm Asian right? Hmmmm I ordered chicken and wild rice soup & 1/2 sandwich -- Soup was not as hot as I want it... it's just lukewarm and I had better... sandwich was not memorable. Problem is, while I was eating... a guy came up to me asking me if I'm done... my sandwich was barely eaten... Hmmm... it is 1:20 and there's not much customers around.... they close at 2pm so are they just in a hurry or what?!!! Then afterwards... a guy started vacuuming the floor... I was so mad at this point. Can't they just wait 40 more minutes to clean up? Argh... I guess this is why they're not busy... sheesh read more

I'm still trying to figure out how this Egg Harbor has anything less than a five star rating. Every single employee is extremely wonderful, and moreover, contributes to a great dining experience. Service is quick, food comes out lightning fast, and they now have a rewards program! Additionally, each meal you order has a generous portion; breakfast or lunch. Prices are extremely reasonable. Although a seasonal menu item, Egg Harbor has the best pumpkin pancakes I have ever had! If I had to make a suggestion - keep it year-round! Would I go back? Of course! read more

Very good. Would definitely visit again when visiting the area. Bloody Mary was terrific.

Great food- consistently good specials and great service, very quick and competent. Never had an issue with anything here.

Enjoyed the breakfast & service. The entrance is not on the road but behind the LA Fitness. I would recommend this & if we're in the area again a return would be eminent. read more

The service was really nice and the restaurant is comfortable, plenty of parking. But I had two complaints that skewed my review downward. The first was that the food came out quickly but was only okay. The Swedish pancakes were average, and the accompanying ligonberry portion was small. The chicken sausage was not very good, I prefer pork, but they don't have pork sausage patties. The second issue was that the food was really expensive. I had orange juice, the pancakes and two sausage patties (that I didn't eat), and with tax and tip, my bill was $25. That's too much for breakfast unless the food is something out of the ordinary, and this was not. Won't go in my breakfast rotation. read more

Egg harbor is just a great spot. They have really quality breakfast with good family vibes. My mom and I love to go here when we have time together. Be warned- if you go on the weekend be prepared to wait a while to be seated and for a LOUD dining experience. Every one of their locations is extremely loud inside for some reason. I have tried probably every egg dish on the menu and still enjoy them all. You can't go wrong with breakfast there! Their pancake combos are also really good as well. read more

Egg Harbor Cafe - Egg white omelette with goat cheese and chicken sausage - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Oak Brook, Illinois

Let me say I am not a franchise breakfast person. I prefer mom and pop places, they have a more homey feel to them. Let me say this particular egg harbor location has the full super size menu of a franchise but the service and attention to detail brings out the homey feel I long for. The food was great. Coffee hot. Table clean. Wait was short for a busy Sunday. My stars are all for the service. Josh and his Sunday morning crew had it "popping". All servers, even if they were not ours, were attentive. The place made me rethink my anti franchise ideas. I am def going to give them another try and yelp about food next time. But this time the service from register to table and all around was some of the best I have had in a looooooooong time read more

I've been going to egg harbor since my children were little, they are now 25 and 26, so for a very long time. Today we took a trip out to egg harbor from the city and was expecting to have a great meal. Unfortunately, it did not meet the standards of what I would expect for spending $40 for two people for breakfast. The food was very cold, my potatoes and the lobster melt I ordered were completely cold. I did not want to send it back for fear that they would do something to it if I complained. I ate some of the rubbery sandwich as I was hungry and could not stomach the rest. The person I was with ordered extra peppers and salsa, he was charged $.80 for EACH SLICE of green pepper and $.50 for a dollop of salsa, talk about nickel-and-diming your customers. After all these years of supporting all their establishments, OVER TWENTY YEARS, I have finally thrown in the towel and have decided not to support Egg Harbor Cafe. read more

The coffee is out of this world and their service is super fast and friendly. I highly recommend their avocado toast, salmon Benedict and their pancakes. I will continue to try the rest of their dishes. read more

Currently having breakfast right now at this particular location. I have never really had any problems with this particular location until right now.... Someone just asked me to turn down the volume of my phone while I'm on FaceTime. This a damn public place where everyone is LOUD and you fricking tell me to turn down the volume of my FaceTime? Are you effin kidding me? Guess what? Not happening. You cannot effin tell me to turn down anything in a public place. If an effin customer has a problem with the volume of my FaceTime, then they better come to me themselves and tell it to my damn face. read more

First, I'll start by saying I stumbled on this place just by driving around the strip mall looking for a place to park and get coffee. Mind you, it's Mother's Day weekend, so I decided to treat myself . I should've kept it moving. Now, I will give credit where it is due and the service was great, and so was the MoMosa (mothers day drink) . Another reviewer said food came out too darn fast. Faster than Michael Jordan dunkin' on you if you turn your head or blink your eye! but I still found an excuse and thought maybe they're just organized and fast (wrong) I asked for the skillet with soft scrambled eggs which came with the famous perfectly cut squared potatoes which are obviously frozen. I say famous because they come with every damn thing! . Now the soft scrambled eggs came out like an overcooked omelet laid across the UNDERCOOKED famous potatoes and tiny perfectly cut pieces of diced ham which looked prepackaged because I've had ham in skillets before and never seen such precisely small , tiny cut teasers. I don't complain because I watch alot of cooking shows that show how cooks get made when customers complain and do things to food and usually a waitress asks how everything is or was but that wasn't the case either. I won't be back . P.S I'm so mad because it was Mother's Day and it was Cold! read more

Found this place while in town for work. I was seated immediately, and in a rather energetic way for being fairly early in the morning. The waitstaff was all great and friendly. The food was really good both in flavor and portion size. It was packed with bacon and chorizo! The atmosphere is small town quaint, and it was really clean. It was just a bit tricky to find initially because it's on the backside of the building. It was a great experience and I'd go back again for sure. read more

Egg Harbor Cafe - Really fantastic skillet. It was packed with bacon and chorizo! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Oak Brook, Illinois

If I could give 3.5 stars I would. The ambiance was great. Nice homey feel. The food...eh. The definitely should NOT be known for there pancakes because it wasn't good. Not sure how you mess up pancakes. The omelete was good, not great. I like the fact that everything is made using healthy and fresh ingredients. I would definitely go back again and try something different. This place did not leave me wanting more and they are very expensive for a breakfast spot. I assume it's due to the natural/fresh ingredients used. read more

This place is your typical sit down breakfast for a nice family get together on a Sunday afternoon. The place was busy and packed with people waiting outside and inside! I came with my sister and her fiancé at 11:45am and was quoted a 15-20 min wait. We decided to wait and luckily the front desk had great timing as we did only have to wait only 18 minutes! We had a preference with a table or booth which is always thoughtful of the front desk. We were sat at a table near the window with utensils and a pitcher of water already set. The server came with speedy service and gave us the time we needed to decide on what to eat. I chose their Eggceptional skillet combo which offered me 3 different ingredients to add on my potatoes with Texas toast and fruits on the side. I chose jack/cheddar cheese, ham, and sour cream which the server was nice enough to put on the side. It was only about 10 minutes that our entrees were prepared and ready for us!!! And although that was impressive, it made sense given that the food portion was absolutely small for a $11-15 dish...definitely overpriced in my opinion. Our food was enjoyable, but I think it was a little confusing when the server already dropped our check after about 5 minutes of eating. She mentioned that we had no rush to pay out and she wanted to inform us that the check is ready. I felt like it could've been more appropriate to at least wait until we cleared our entrees. But speedy service was what she was going for I suppose. We were looking to get 3 lattes to go, but the check dropped that soon quickly decided for us. Lovely place with warm home decor, but I can see why it had mixed reviews. Check it out for yourself! read more

Very hit or miss. I had an excellent habanero hash at a different location and loved it, but this location didn't live up to my expectations. I ordered a cappuccino and it came in a massive mug with barely any foam (it was more of a latte). Although I think a bad cappuccino is forgivable because unless there is a dedicated barista, most breakfast places don't have the best espresso drinks. My partner ordered shakshouka, one of our favorite brunch dishes, but it was very watery, almost like a watered down sauce instead of crushed tomatoes. I feel bad he didn't get a good meal. I got the habanero hash again, and it was pretty good, not as great as the other location I had it at, but still good. One weird thing, I got a side of cheese grits and they kind of tasted like an indoor swimming pool. I like indoor pools, so maybe it's not a bad thing. But if you don't like swimming pools, maybe get potatoes or fruit. The bathrooms were super clean and the staff was nice. It was pretty empty when we first got there (around 8:30am) but it got real busy real quick so there might be a wait. read more

Egg Harbor Cafe - The size of the mug they served my cappuccino in compared to the water cup. Too big a cup for a proper cappuccino. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Oak Brook, Illinois

The worst biscuits and gravy I have ever had. 3 dried out half biscuits covered in very little sausage gravy. The biscuits were so dry that when I tried to cut into them with a fork I ended up with nothing but crumbs. Asked for some cayenne to spice up the bland gravy that was served and the kitchen didn't have any? This was a big disappointment from a decent restaurant from the past. I hope that this was a fluke and will not be disappointed again if I return. I definitely will not order Biscuits and Gravy again. read more

I love Egg Harbor! RIP to the Rockford location :-( I had been talking about how I wanted to go to Egg Harbor for weeks prior to this visit! I finally convinced my partner to go and we had a great experience. We went on the Sunday of fourth of July weekend. We got seated right away and upon entering we received such a warm welcome from everyone working. I love how hospitable the staff is. I got the strawberry orange juice, traditional breakfast with chicken sausage, and a lobster salad melt (don't knock me for ordering so much!! i hadn't visited in so long!!!) My partner ordered the chicken and avocado grill sandwich. He loved it and the sides that came with! Everything was amazing. The service was spectacular which definitely contributed to our great experience. We can't wait to come back :) read more

Came here on a Saturday morning around 10:30 and it wasn't overly crowded. I was seated right away by a couple of very friendly hosts. At the table I was greeted fast by a waitress and told the special of the day. I ended up choosing the skillet combo. It's a nice option because you can pick what you want in it. Plus it came with a piece of banana bread French toast that was delicious! I also ordered a side of corn beef hash and unfortunately it was very bland very unlike the traditional dish. Overall it was a pleasant experience and I will be back. read more

This place looks charming, but their kitchen is very sloppy! First, there was a torn paper sugar packet floating in our coffee. When we pointed it out, they just shrugged it off and said "Unfortunately, it happens sometimes, they get stuck there." Then we found a 1-inch twig with thorns in our fruit cup! (See attached photo.) When we brought that up, the manager just kept saying it must have been from their supplier. It was sloppy work by their kitchen staff but instead of taking responsibility for it, he kept blaming their supplier! read more

I played hooky from work today so I decided to try this place out that a friend of mine recommended. I must say that it was a good choice, worth missing work for. Lol. I tried the create your own skillet with chicken sausage, mushrooms, mozzarella cheese and spinach. It was delicious. Nice atmosphere and people. I will most definitely return. Great job Egg Harbor, keep up the good work. read more

Had a great experience here. Restaurant was very clean and had tons of natural light. Wait staff were all very friendly and prompt. Plenty of unique choices on the menu at fair prices. Food was brought out in a timely manner and everything tasted fresh. The only critique I have is that the potatoes were a tad dry but the flavor was great overall. Would definitely recommend and will be back! read more

We went on a Sunday at peak hours and still got a seat! I was surprised and expecting a wait like most places. It's tucked in the back so make sure you don't miss it! It's a normal volume restaurant and the atmosphere is that at home farmers look which was really nice. And even though it was a cloudy day, they have big windows to allow for nice lighting. I love that they have more than just coffee for their caffeinated options. The coffee is really delicious but my husband got their cappuccino and it was also delightful. I got their traditional breakfast (after debating with ten other delicious sounding items!). It was absolutely fantastic and the jam they serve is so good! Our waiter was absolutely hilarious and a real sweetheart (even ran us out two coffees to go when we almost forgot that option!). Will definitely be back. read more

This Egg Harbor is A-OK. I think it is a very strange location: it is not visible from York and you have to look for it from 22nd Street. I guess it is the lower corner of the LA Fitness building ~ strange. Yes, it looks like an Egg Harbor and has the same menu. Why move to a location not too far north of the Egg Harbor on York in Hinsdale? I did see a couple people who had obviously come from their workout and there was a large group of men holding their business meeting ~ very LOUD and I was not really interested in what they had to say. Other than that, this would have to be a destination eating place. Not a lot of residential nearby. Service was great, as at all Egg Harbors and got a free pancake ~ the size of a dinner plate ~ with my Yelp check-in. read more

Food was good. The place was a bit cramped but manageable. The water smells like algae though; unpleasant. Very good hot chocolate and bistros. Very friendly wait-staff. Would go again if I were in the area. read more

My first experience with Egg Harbor Cafe was nearly four years ago in Georgia at their single location in that state. I hail from much further north so I always hoped I could return to one of their locations. After many trips to Chicago I finally was able to on this one. Here for business, I came here each morning the last three days. That alone should tell you something. Egg Harbor Cafe is the definitive breakfast spot. I could only dream they would expand to my county in Michigan. However they keep their locations modest and focus on quality food and care, and those are signs of a strong business. The gist of what EHC has to offer is a calm demeanor, friendly and attentive staff, satisfying portion sizes, and delicious food options. All this at very fair prices. My favorite meal is the Banana Bread French Toast complete with sliced banana on it. Pairing with some hash browns or bacon is good. I tried their skillet yesterday and it was quite delicious and filling. Every server I've interacted with and even the managing staff has been excellent. I think it must be great to work here because people are so happy, but perhaps that's the great classical music played too. My server today was Taylor, and the manager Autumn. Yesterday and the day before was Zach the manager and Becca who served me. Hopefully I got their names spelled right. Starla I believe was the girl who sat me today also. Just a stellar cast of dedicated folks here. I could gush more but I have a flight to catch. I just really hope anyone who sees this place gives it a try and I wish the best for those who operate it. This location is located in a more corporate and business-oriented area of West Chicago and I hope those kinds of folks consider this place also. They're open for lunch! Thanks to Egg Harbor Cafe. See you at every opportunity. read more

Too expensive, ridiculously so. Coke--$3.50? Come on. Greg's chili eggs--$14.50. Skimpy portions. Very bland sausage. Trust me. Potatoes? Zero seasoning = BLAND. Total disappointment. This is a MUST PASS. read more

I agree with Arin P. We usually like Egg Harbor Oak Brook. Today we asked to eat outside due to Covid and being careful, and the host said it was ok. Then he returned and said we had to order with him and he would let me know when it was ready for me to pick up at the desk. No problem. The first negative was that we ordered OJ-12 oz. We got a PLASTIC water cup that was 10 oz if filled to the top (impossible to do w/o spilling), so the actual amount received was 8oz. I went inside to first get a REAL glass and the proper 12oz amount (it is even written on the receipt), and to request glass plates and real silverware as well, in case this was the theme they were planning on pursuing. The manager, ALLISON, interfered with the discussion I was having with the host, and said it was 12oz. She was rude and kept insisting it was 12 oz. and added that we would receive everything served in plastic b/c we chose to be outside. I told her that I had been there a month ago OUTSIDE, and we got real dishes and glasses. She then said they are short on help and they don't have enough people to wash the dishes/serve etc. Why is that my problem? Allison needs to roll up her sleeves and pitch in if this is the case. I used to be a waitress, so I know what I am talking about from experience. The restaurant was not busy at all, may I add. I have been there on many busier days in the past. The host was a kind man who was very helpful (as much as he was allowed to help), but ALLISON is not in the right job. We will not go back to Egg Harbor again as a result. My husband is Mexican, so I am not sure if Arin's implied comment on cultural background being part of the reason he got plastic when INSIDE the restaurant, but that is all I will say as well. Oh- I measured the cup contents. It came to 8oz. according to my measuring cup by Pyrex. Also, NO customers inside just sitting (not eating yet) had on masks. This is 8/14/21 and I am not sure if this it the law in Du Page yet, but all the staff did have on masks. read more

Lobster scramble - was phenomenal!!!! Service was fast, prompt, on point and great!!!!

I'm making this account just for this review...enough is enough, got me acting like a Karen. This location has gone down hill fast! Every single time I order I'm left disappointed with the wrong order and sometimes they even forget to put my order in. Staff needs to be retrained, the quality is so inconsistent and quite disappointing. The more I tip the worse my service is. What a joke! Go to the Elmhurst location instead. read more

One of the best breakfast place I have been to. The scramblers are amazing. Fast service great atmosphere

i had a crepe with fruit. It was tasty. Service was fast, server was nice, place was casual and clean.

This place is hidden and I don't think very exposed, which is why I like this location so much because I don't think as many people know about it yet. If I go to any other location you are waiting and waiting for a table. I've been here twice so far, and hands down........BEST BREAKFAST SANDWICH!!!!!!! It's called the Bacon Jam Sam and its very tasty. You cannot get anything like this at any other breakfast place. Don't ever take this off of the menu.....It's a breakfast sandwich with cheddar cheese, a hard egg, avocado, tomatoes and a bacon jam on a sourdough bread.....I love that Egg Harbor always has a new flavored coffee and it's very good and they will give you a complimentary cup to go. Service is always great, menu is so different than most breakfast places. This location has a ton of parking and if you go early enough you won't have to wait in any line. read more

Located in a strip mall along with LA fitness and other business....easy to miss if you are going south on York road.Went for a 7am work meeting with a very important agenda and was perfect because although pretty crowded the place was not noisy. Our sever Raquel was excellent with service and refiling our coffee and beverages. I had the bracado omellete minus the bacon and have to say it filled me up till I had my next meal which was dinner. Others had the parfait and toast. Clean environment and we weren't in anyway rushed to leave. Will certainly comeback if in the neighborhood. read more
