Mexican skillet

GREAT FOOD, location, ambience, friendly staff, nice parking lot and prices fair. We went Saturday morning and when we walked out the door at 10:30 am there were lots of people waiting, so I suggest get there by 9:30 am for no wait.

Gluten-Free Cinnamon Roll Breakfast Vanillla Latte

Everything was great! The food,service & the ambiance were great. The gluten free cinnamon roll was my favorite!

We first enjoyed our brunch for the first time at Egg Harbor and the waiter told me that I was going to love Lemon Poppyseed Pancakes. Next time, I should order a sandwich to go with soup.

Came here for a late lunch. There was no wait and we were able to be sat right away. They have a separate GF menu. I ordered a create your own breakfast wrap on a GF tortilla. They have unlimited veggies, cheese and sauces that you can add. It came with harbor potatoes. I also ordered a strawberry orange juice mimosa. Everything was delicious and the service was excellent.

The food and service here are fantastic. Don't hesitate to indulge in a delicious meal and exceptional service. If you're looking for a great host, ask for Sam. She was an amazing host!

So here's how our visit to Egg Harbor went. We originally planned to eat at a different restaurant, but when we got there, the wait was over an hour. Not wanting to wait that long, we went with our second option--Egg Harbor--and honestly, it ended up being the better choice. The atmosphere was cozy and matched the feel of the place perfectly. They use a text system to let you know when your table is ready, which was very convenient. My wife ordered the Ultimate Skillet, and I had the Lobster Scrambler. Both were very flavorful and cooked perfectly. Our server, Juan, was handling quite a few tables, but you wouldn't have known it by the way he handled all of his customers, very attentive, helpful, and professional. The three ladies at the hostess stand were also really friendly and welcoming. Between the great food, top-notch service, and warm staff, we left feeling like Egg Harbor should have been our first choice from the start. We'll definitely be back, thanks Juanca and staff!!!

Solid Brunch Spot in Schaumburg with Great Twists Tried Egg Harbor Café in Schaumburg and left impressed. It's a big, cozy spot with a laid-back, country-style vibe great for a casual brunch. We had the Smoked Salmon Benedict poached eggs, arugula, tomato, and hollandaise done right. One of the best versions I've had. The Cherrywood Avocado Toast was another standout, with fresh avocado, cherrywood bacon, and pickled red onions on sourdough. Also ordered the Dynamite Veggie White Omelet loaded with veggies, light but flavorful. We swapped the potatoes for a side of fruit, which was a nice touch. Don't skip the Maple Bourbon Bacon sweet, smoky, and crispy. And the Strawberry Orange Juice was super refreshing. Service was okay, not very attentive, could be improved. I'd rate this a 4 out of 5. Worth a visit if you're in the area.

Sweet Carolina Skillet
Isany M.

First time at Egg Harbor and it did not disappoint. I had the San Antonio skillet and it was fire--I cleaned the plate lol. Super cute and reliable spot for breakfast at a decent price. The service was great, and I even ended up buying one of their coffee mugs because it was too cute. Overall, I'd definitely come back next time I'm in the area!

Sir Dugan Frittata
Yolanda H.

Traveling through the city and wanted a mid day meal. I think the flavor combinations of the scrambles and frittatas caught my eye. I ordered the Sir Dugan frittata. It was a savory selection that worked well with the buttered English muffin. I wish there was an Egg Harbor Cafe in my town.

Farmers Benedict
Jenny K.

Egg Harbor is still going strong. There hasn't been much change since my last review. I've been getting delivery the last few years, and the food is still delicious. The lobster scrambler is still good, but the amount of protein has definitely reduced. I wouldn't recommend the farmer's benedict unless you like your benny to be a bit tart. The artichoke definitely makes the entire dish sour tasting. Not the best flavor combo. Hash browns are crispy and taste better than their harbor potatoes. The jam is still homemade and is fresh tasting. Service is quick. You can now pay your check via apple pay with a QR code, which is convenient.

Great breakfast! It's been a couple years since we've been to an Egg Harbor. My wife and I split a Pot Roast Breakfast Skillet and added a Cinnamon Roll. Our server, Maggie was quite pleasant and accommodating. She split our skillet and let us order one scrambled egg and one over medium egg. Perfect! The breakfast dish as well as the cinnamon roll were great. Another nice touch here is they leave you both a carafe of coffee and ice water. Edit: Another nice touch is the ability to pay from your table by scanning the QR code on the check. I scanned it, selected Apple Pay and it was paid. Super easy. We'll be back to an Egg Harbor in the future.

We flew into Chicago this morning and had a gift certificate to a nearby winery so we decided to have lunch here beforehand. It was a good decision. Although the place was very crowded, the wait was only six minutes. Our waiter, Juan, quickly came over to take our orders. The menu has plenty of breakfast and lunch options. I opted for the Harbor Cobb Salad. It had grilled chicken, bacon, eggs, avocado, blue cheese, scallions, and lettuce, along with ranch dressing. Each entree also comes with an English muffin. My husband had the Door County chicken salad. It had two scoops of chicken salad atop a salad full of vegetables with poppyseed dressing. We both loved our salads. Service was pretty fast considering how busy they were.

Pumpkin Pancakes
Alyssa M.

We needed a place to stop for food and happened to seek this place out. Glad we did! Cute farm house cafe style and the service was attentive and fast. Joes breakfast wrap was delicious and the potatoes were softy but crispy. Some of the best breakfast potatoes I've enjoyed out! The cool thing is the potatoes are cooked in pure beef tallow! The seasonal pumpkin pancakes were fluffy and spiced nicely. We would love to visit again when back in the area!

I gotta say, we've been in Schaumburg but haven't yet tried all the restaurants in the area (god…read moreknows we've been working on it!). So, one fine day I was picking up some dry cleaning down Roselle, and as I turned onto Schaumburg Rd to head home, I saw this place- remembered I was hungry- and promptly turned in! I got there just before 5pm, and was - by all accounts - their first customer of the night! I asked to sit on the patio, and (because I had to ask) checked to see if the patio was dog-friendly - it is! Hmm. Gotta bring puppy next time! The young lady sat me down, brought over a drinks menu and a food menu, and I promptly ordered a Cadillac Cocktail! Oh my! It was BIG- and GOOD. Damn! Highly recommended! A bowl of warm chips and salsa came right on it - on the house- and I began munching away while I pondered the menu. So - I decided on the Enchiladas Suizas with verde sauce! Oh - and with a choice of meat (I chose ground beef, but pollo was also on the board too!). As I was slowly drinking the Cadillac and munching on the chips, I gotta say I liked the THICK chips and the salsa had a nice little kick to it. If that's what you like? You'll LIKE it! My enchiladas suizas came out piping hot a short time later, and I began munchin' 'em down! VERY nice! If you like friendly, prompt service AND good food and drink? HIGHLY recommend you stop on it!

We really wanted to love this place because the food was outstanding. The chips came out hot and…read morefresh, the salsa was delicious, and the service was friendly and attentive. I had the al pastor tacos, which had just the right touch of pineapple and were absolutely amazing. The rice and beans were excellent too. They also have a beautiful patio that would be a perfect place to enjoy a meal. Unfortunately, the experience was overshadowed by the music. It was incredibly loud--constant booming house music that made it difficult to have a conversation. We politely asked if the volume could be turned down, especially since the restaurant wasn't busy, but were told it was for all the customers and they wouldn't adjust it. It's a shame because the food is so good, but the atmosphere made it hard to enjoy. I can't help but wonder if the loud music has driven away other customers as well. If they toned down the music, this would easily be one of our favorite Mexican restaurants.

They're serving up a mix of Indonesian and Chinese flavors, and some really unique menu items We started with their Rainbow Imperial Xiao Long Bao, and this is definitely one of the most intresting things on the menu. Each color is completely different flavor, with everything from traditional Shanghai to, beef stew , truffle, spicy Szechuan, chicken curry, lemon, and orange chicken. So every dumpling gives you a completely different tasting experience. We also tried their Nasi Goreng, which is Indonesian fried rice with chicken and egg. This was savory, really flavorful, and It paired perfect with their spicy teriyaki chicken which i couldn't stop eating. But My favorite combo might have been their watermelon boba with mini chicken dumplings served right on top, this would be the perfect to go option in my opinion. And if you need something sweet, their new seasonal menu items are a must, like pumpkin and apple Halloween drink Or these little Ghost Baos, which has an apple and cinnamon filling. I honestly felt bad eating these little guys. The perfect fall combo if you ask me. Overall, Phat Phat has a great variety of Indonesian and Chinese dishes. Service was great, they were very attending to us and the inside very well lit and is perfect for your next date night! So next time you're craving asian cuisine, soup dumplings, boba, chicken, or just want to Phat Phat is the spot.

Number one on that list would be nasi goreng, also known as Indonesian fried rice. If you're into spicy food, order it extra spicy and you will not be disappointed. Same goes with the mie goreng (Indonesian fried noodles). Both are flavor-blasted comfort food. The other dishes I've had there have also been solid but a go-to is always the crispy eggplant appetizer. It's a large place so plenty of seating. They do get pretty busy on weekends but I've never had trouble getting a table. Cool vibes, good food, what more do you need! You can see from my photos that I came here with friends once and we ordered a table completely full of nasi goreng and mie goreng. XD

There is even a bar are with counter seating and three - five tables (two standard height and three counter height. There is a monstrous screen behind the bar for sports, but they mostly show videos of Greece, but they are mesmerizing videos of a beautiful country. It's a cleaner version of Dengeo's. And, dare I say, better version. Except for their avgolemeno soup. Such a weak travesty. Please fix this. It's just a watery mess. However, everything else is delicious. I ordered the Greek Chicken with their lemon-butter rice. They debone the chicken and serve atop a mountain of their rice. If also had their potatoes (which are good) but the rice is magical. The first time we went, they had a serve yourself soda fountain and they since got rid of it and sell soda in bottles and cans. They do still have a self-serve water station. Once you order, staff will bring to your table, so please tip when you order or leave on the table as they do come by and clear your table as well. It is first come first served and you grab your own tables. I've been there on weekends and weeknights and they get pretty packed. The food is flavorful and quite tasty.

Actually has a drive thru so how classy can it be. The restaurant has options for families and groups. Coming in here it looked like a regular casual restaurant where you order at the counter. It's one of those places you get the food brought out. There's also a bar area you can get beer and wine. For certain it's not the average fast casual. It's about $8 for a glass. Best we had was the Roditis, which is a rosé from Corinthia. It's about $8 for the Hummus. Comes with lots of pita bread. The rest of the menu is meaty. Great place located on Rand at Chestnut. It's closed Mondays. There's the hummus for vegetarians.

The egg on her dish had a thin film on it, so we're thinking it might not have been fully cooked, which is concerning. Service itself was good and the staff was nice. Parking was also easy, which is always a plus. Good food overall, but that situation definitely threw things off a bit.
