Desperate for brunch on a recent Monday morning, we checked out Egg Harbor for the first time. It was just OK. VIBE: As might be expected of the genre, the dining room was white, bright, and lofty - not a bad scene for a Monday morning. There were only a few diners, so noise was not a problem. Booths were roomy. SERVICE: The staff was uniformly cheerful, cordial, and helpful. Food came out quickly. FOOD: A Bacado skillet (Mexican hash) was OK (heavy on potato and bacon, light on avocado). My companion said their pancakes were crumbly, as though they skimped on egg in the batter); I thought they tasted OK. Coffee was pretty bad; it was flat and old. Egg Harbor met our needs, but it was nothing special. If we were in a similar situation on a Monday morning, we might try it again. read more

Always top notch but I just learned they validate parking in the lot next door! That makes things a whole lot easier. Visited today again - after multiple rounds of takeout over the past few months. Always delicious and also quick - food comes out relatively quickly. Lots of great breakfast options. I usually am here for lunch but today did breakfast - you can get your eggs in multiple ways and even in a wrap! I had the bacado (bacon, avocado, cheese, etc). It was great - with harbor potatoes on the side (and some salsa and sour cream). Really tasty and a great portion size! Good coffee which you can also take to go at the end of your meal and lovely staff. Everyone is really friendly and they're helpful and don't rush you. All around perfect spot for breakfast or lunch - dine in or takeout! read more

I've always had a great experience at Egg Harbor. The service is consistent and friendly, helping the experience by server going above and beyond with asks. Food is good and fresh, with a vast variety of options for breakfast, brunch, and lunch. Decent cup of coffee. Lots of space and different tables and booths for parties of different sizes. Good place to meet up with people. read more

This place is no frills BUT... Good food, good coffee, good service, and a huge menu. We all had savory breakfast so can't speak for the pancakes and whatnot, but everyone loved their egg dishes. Not photoed but the hollandaise was notable in how light it was. read more

Just ok, not distinguishable among the glut it breakfast spots in downtown oak park. Service was slow , one of meals was delayed a while. Food was good, latte was great read more

The potato's had good seasoning added to them. Our waiter was welcoming and treated us like family.

Family friendly breakfast spot. It's spacious, a very large menu, and quick service. Food was average, it offers your typical breakfast/lunch items. The food didn't taste bad, it is just too much in my opinion. My family lives in the neighborhood and we liked the Elmhurst location, have been there for lunch several times. So I'd come back because it is an easy option where everyone can find something on the menu. read more

Our first experiences at Egg Harbor were in Hinsdale. How great that was! Many years later, an Elmhurst location opened. Since my husband and I worked in Elmhurst, we regularly ate lunch there. After many years of enjoyable meals, I was thrilled to learn Egg Harbor was coming to Oak Park. I was there for breakfast as soon as they opened! I was happy to learn these restaurants are still family owned. Oak Park Egg Harbor's food is delicious, as it always has been at every location I've been to. The menu is varied. Something for every taste. Eggs, crepes, waffles, smoothies, skillets, soups, salads, Door County Chicken salad!, even burgers. A kids' menu, too. Breakfasts or lunches are equally delicious. The atmosphere is bright and open. Spotlessly clean. Oak Park's manager is welcoming and upbeat. The servers are friendly and helpful. I recently found out that there is validated parking at the parking garage, which is a plus. For a tasty, filling breakfast or lunch and a relaxing atmosphere, you'll enjoy Egg Harbor, Oak Park. read more

I've been waiting for this location to open for awhile, and am so excited to be writing yet another great review for Egg Harbor! I ordered online and picked up inside. The interior was super clean, open, and bright, perfect for a Sunday morning breakfast. My classic order is the gluten free cinnamon roll and an iced matcha which both taste delicious. Online pick up was seamless and I will be dining in soon! read more

Went here for post work brunch with coworkers and we loved everything we ordered! Service was fast and friendly but we did notice that we weren't offered water and had to ask for it midway through our meal. All in all would recommend food especially the Lobster Scrambler! Great brunch place and the mugs were cute. read more

Family friendly neighborhood place with a great menu selection of both breakfast and lunch items- something for everyone. Unsure about parking or reservations, but for a party of 2 at 10am on a Saturday we were able to walk in and get sat immediately. Staff was super friendly! read more

I love this new breakfast spot in Oak Park! Perhaps they are not "new" anymore, but it was new for me and I loved how enthusiastic the staff is as well as how fresh the food it. I loved the chili- it was warm and hearty, and had some much nice additions like the fresh tomatoes and herbs on top. And the fresh fruit bowl was a marvelous surprise as often "fresh fruit" at a diner is really just melons topped with one mushy grape. Nope. This bowl was a very generous size and had blackberries, strawberries, melon- and it was just cut up, not soggy at all! The restaurant was busy, but the tables are nicely spaced out so it doesn't feel overwhelming or too noisy. I didn't catch our two servers names, darn. They were amazing. So friendly and as I said above, enthusiastic, even at the end of their shift as the restaurant was closing when we were leaving. This seems like a jolly place to work and is a super fun place for a breakfast or brunch. I will definitely return. read more

Ahh! This used to be the Tied House, remember that? Egg Harbor has done it again. They open one in Downtown Evanston last November (see my review). I had the Chicken Chili, Tuna-Cado sandwich. For Drinks I had Strawberry Lemonade and Matcha Tea. The Chili was very good but Tuna sandwich wasn't. The staff and service are bodacious! PS. Again, I was the first to review! read more

Food was delicious! Ambience is bright and cheery and service was exceptional!! Will definitely visit again!

Ordered the Farmers Eggs Benedict and a coffee. Came out super quick - because it was barely cooked. Raw spinach and mushrooms....I really should have sent the whole thing back but was hungry and service was nowhere around so I scraped off uncooked mushrooms and spinach and ate the English muffin and tomato and sopped up some egg. And ate the artichoke hearts. Sweet potatoes were fine. Not going back - really unimpressed. read more

I ordered banana pancakes. I had three bites. I held it in until we left and threw up in the parking lot. They still charged me for it even though I told them I couldn't eat it. I didn't know you could mess up pancakes. My husband's french toast wasn't that great either. read more

Delicious food! Menu is large and hard to choose from (in a good way!) The space is bright and has a good noise level. Coffee is alright. Julian was a friendly and attentive server. Location is right by the train which is also convenient! read more

Love this place! The service is always stellar and they have a full gluten free menu - SO many great options to choose from!

I'm so happy to write this.. rarely write reviews but these guys went above and beyond and most all establishments should take note. The Egg Harbor website prompted an error when placing our delivery order. However Apple Pay did charge it as a transaction. I phoned egg harbor to be sure they got the order and they did not. The manager (I forget his name) got in the phone and said he'd like to take the order again by phone and they'll cook it up and he'll drive it over and hand it off himself. And he did. 15 mins later. Well done Egg Harbor and Manager dude! Oh and the food was yummy! read more

Not a great experience today. Coffess ordered that were not delivered until later after the food came. Food was cold. Service was unfocused and waiter walking around offering dishes they thought were yours and were not. I can handle slow service but no beferages and cold food . . . just wasn't worth it. read more

The food was amazing! I swear I can never find a breakfast spot where I can get a savory & a sweet option all in 1 - their banana bread French toast and a build your own skillet were great. Also the staff were extremely friendly and super fast, will definitely come back here again read more

Fabulous restaurant with large variety of delicious menu items. Next time I'll make a reservation during rush hour!
