Zach and Parker were just outstanding! I loved every part of this place, however their excellent service is what really makes me a #1 fan. I would recommend this place to anyone. read more

Love this restaurant the staff is so kind to my husband who has trouble walking . The food is hot and good and they let you enjoy it. We had the most delightful brunch sitting in the window on a snowy Sunday. I can't wait for their cute outside patio to open. read more

Stopped by around 11:30 for brunch on Saturday, there was no wait. I ordered the Bacado omelette ($15.5) and the Cinnamon roll french toast ($13). The food was not as good as I remember it being when I used to come here. The best thing I ate was the harbor potatoes, which came with the omelette. The omelette itself was a bit too cheesy, and the texture of the egg was not great. But overall, still fine. Definitely heavy on the bacon flavor, so if you are a big bacon fan, I would recommend. The cinnamon roll french toast looked awful and unappetizing. It also didn't taste amazing, it didn't come with any syrup and was a bit dry. It was quite disappointing. Would not recommend ordering this. The waiter also was super friendly but very impatient and rushed us several times, left us the check when we were barely halfway through our meal. Giving it a 3 because it is a cute and vibrant place, and I've had better experiences in the past. Hoping this time was just an off day. I probably would only come here for the nostalgia factor moving forward. read more

In my DH's book, there's no better place to get delicious waffles like Egg Harbor. He usually orders crispy bacon on the side. My perfect breakfast is one of the avocado toasts on toasted sourdough slice with greens and sweet tomato slices with a side of fried eggs over easy. The bowl of fresh fruits is my least favorite since they tend to be tart. Little to no-wait seating. Friendly and attentive staff. Our go-to stop after Sunday worship. read more

Great service. Very friendly and attentive. Clean and easy to find. Parking on street was easy. Lots of seating. With wifi Many menu options but not overwhelming. Eggs, bene, scrambles. Griddle options from great pancakes to waffles and French toast. Had the cozy scramble with bacon, Brie, and onions. And a side of pumpkin pancakes. Tasteee Have to come back. The pancakes were great and the scramble really good. The menu is fantastic but the service was even better. For a family owned biz with multiple locations I'm sold!!! read more

I've been in this downtown Hinsdale location twice, and on both times, the service was disappointing. It was either we were missing an order (toast, potatoes, butter) or we were given the wrong dish. The place was spacious and clean. The staff members were friendly and welcoming. I've tried: STRAWBERRY CRUNCH FRENCH TOAST- delicious EVERYDAY I'm BRUSSELIN'- I liked this dish a lot. The cauliflower rice went well with the shaved brussel sprouts and the fried eggs on tol. SHAKSHUKA- it was ok BERRY OATMEAL- fresh berries and old fashioned oatmeal. Satisfying. PANCAKES- they were dry and overcooked. Overall, everything that I've had here was good. I liked that they have more options for drinks besides regular coffee. Their oat milk latte was delicious. Hopefully the service gets better though. read more

Lovely menu with lots of typical and heart healthy options. Huge space so easy to navigate for all age groups.

Classic American cafe with lots of options! They are always busy so make reservations ahead of time if you can. Random detail but the coffee cups are cute and it's bottomless drip coffee! read more

Egg Harbor Café - Dynamite veggie white omelette - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Hinsdale, Illinois

Went in for a quick breakfast with my parents. Our waiter was so kind and helpful when explaining the menu. I ordered the cinnamon roll french toast, chicken sausage patties and a brown sugar vanilla harborccino. Starting with the drink, I wasn't impressed at all and could have done without it. The french toast had good flavor but had too much icing on top, no need for syrup at all. The chicken sausage was probably my favorite part of the meal and was cooked perfectly. Overall, not bad for the price and I would return to try some different items! They have an extensive menu. read more

The Hinsdale Egg Harbor location has the worst service and service model. The food rarely comes out as ordered, takes forever and NEVER at the same time. Someone's order is always missing and, if you are lucky, may show up before the rest of the party is ready to go...though we flagged down the server multiple times to find out about the order. The answer is always that it will be out in 2 minutes but that never happens. The Oak Brook location is infinitely better. read more

First time to this egg harbor location. I have been to others, so I was happy to see a similar menu. I love their iced tea. It's very smooth and they even offer you some to go! French toast is excellent. Bacon was a little greasy, but it was tasty. The only downfall on my visit is that there were loud kids. There is plenty of seating. It was located on a busy street, so we had to park around the corner. read more

I don't give out many fives but I think - based on my last experience - that this place deserved it. I've been to other Egg Harbor locations before but not in some time. I used to order the Cassie's Crepes until they changed the way they cooked the crepes. This time I tried the Lobster scramble and it was excellent - creamy goodness! I would also recommend the strawberry orange juice. Hubbie ordered the ultimate skillet and enjoyed it as well. The 5 stars is also attributed to the wonderful customer service we experienced. Angel was such a sweet guy. He was friendly and professional... Never crossing that line of "too much". I also liked that we were greeted early upon arrival by the host and acknowledged when we left with a goodbye from someone who I assumed was the manager. Keep it up, Egg Harbor. We will be back! Other: - first impression upon entry- spacious - located downtown so good luck with parking read more

I'll start with the good; the service was great, we were greeted as soon as we walked in. We received our food fast and it was hot. The bad; the food had no flavor to me it was bland at best. The pricing was decent and the establishment was clean. read more

The service was good and fast! Portions were pretty large, but very delicious Strawberry Mimosas is a MUST! Ambiance was welcoming and staff was very friendly! Definitely will return when I visit Chicago again! Thanks for the great hospitality! read more

Really great service and solid breakfast food for this block. Nice atmosphere too. I enjoyed their strawberry orange juice, which was a nice balance between the fruits while not being too sweet. I also ordered their seasonal special, the Santorini scrambler (you can check out their menu online for the latest specials). It was definitely a filling plate for me while not being heavy to eat through at all. The scrambler was an interesting approach to the scrambler with the feta cheese. The english muffin was baked perfectly and paired nicely with the jam. read more

Egg Harbor Café - Santorini scrambler (seasonal menu) - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Hinsdale, Illinois

We ordered everything off the speciality menus. Amazing quality of food. And drinks! My bloody marry was spicy !!! So so so so good. Just how I like it with tons of garnish They had an Indian/middle eastern style dish that was to die for. Tomato, cilantro, goat cheese and chorrizo. You scoop it up with a biscuit and it was just so flavorful. That dish really took first place. The red velvet pancakes didn't need syrup and the cream cheese wasn't over powering on sweetness. read more

Basically, a nice value of good food, friendly staff and fair prices. I brought my family here for breakfast and my kids were happy too.

Egg harbor restaurant is always a good choice at any of their many locations. Good food and friendly people.

We were trying to find a more local breakfast spot instead of driving a little further for the location we usually go to... we wish we had drove to the other one. My partner left still hungry after ordering a breakfast burrito( said it was ok), and I had the eggs Benedict. To be fair, I've only ever ordered it once before, but wow what a huge difference in quality. I don't think we will be back :( also, we didn't appreciate the lady that brought us our food. She spilled a good amount of maple syrup right on the table, but didn't even clean it up. Didn't bring napkins or anything either, just said sorry and walked away.. wasn't our waiter who did it, but still should have done a little more. read more

HASHING IT OUT Egg Harbor continues to prove why breakfast is their jam. With my cousin Luke B in town for the holidays, the three of us came here on 12/22/19 for a hearty morning meal. This location in Hinsdale is tucked away inside Gateway Square, a small shopping center just south of Ogden & York Rd. We didn't have to wait to be seated and ordered right away. For the second time in as many visits, I chose the habanero hash ($11). Peppers come diced with potatoes, onions, cheddar jack cheese, topped with sour cream, cilantro, and two eggs any way (I opted for poached). Served in a skillet, this dish is delicious, filling and has a palpable amount of heat. My cousin loved his chilaquiles con chorizo ($12). The cinnamon roll french toast combo ($12.50) came with 2 eggs any style and choice of meat, earning rave reviews from my fiancée. We each got a glass of strawberry OJ ($3.25), plus a side of applewood bacon ($4). Bread = 5 Circuses = 4.5 Frank took perfectly good care of us during breakfast. Everyone at the hostess stand was friendly (I've come to expect this from Egg Harbor) and food came out from the kitchen quickly. There were some small paint chips in the wall and other aesthetic dings by our booth, but it's no biggie. * TL;DR * Few can do morning fare like these guys. Whether it's omelettes, skillets, or fruit-filled blintzes, I can reliably count on Egg Harbor for a delicious way to start the day. The habanero hash is highly recommend for lovers of spicy food, and we've yet to be disappointed by anything the kitchen churns out. Great stuff as always. read more

This is my second time at the new location. The first time everything was smooth and it seemed like the old location as the service was spot on and the food was very good. This time everything seemed off from the time we were seated until we left. It took almost 15 minutes before someone came to take our drink order. When she came I asked for the seasonal menu as we did not receive one when were seated. It seemed like it was an inconvenience for her as she placed one one the table and halfhearted mentioned one item. We basically order the exact items we did on our first visit. My wife had to ask for three cups before she got one that was clean. The food came out quickly and seemed like it was rushed as the bacon was almost undercooked and very greasy. The overall presentation seemed off. The waitstaff seemed more like they wanted to talk to each other instead of checking on the customers. When one was bringing a drink refill she stopped on the way to pick up trash off the floor while carrying the drink to our table. It seemed like there was no floor manager and everyone just did the minimum. We have been Egg Harbor customers for 30 years visiting several locations on the area. I hope this is as a one off and not the norm. read more

I love the new location and the restaurant feels more open and able to accommodate more people than it did before. On our way to the restaurant, we got on their wait list so we only had to wait about a minute before we got seated. The food was delicious as usual and they always have such a unique variety of breakfast dishes. The service was great too. We will be adding this to our list of regular breakfast stops now that I know we can get in without waiting an hour for a table like we did at the previous location. read more

My husband and I concluded our 9th year anniversary trip at this little spot. I loved the fact that we were able to be waitlisted online because I did that on my way to the restaurant. When we got there we waited 10 mins and the experience was superb. Our waiter was nice and patient with us as first timers and the food was delish. I had the meaty skillet with scrambled eggs and American cheese with avocado on the side and the cinnamon French toast. My choice of drink was the spiked blueberry hibiscus lemonade (so refreshing). My husband had the Cinnamon Texas French toast with eggs (which he had scrambled hard), the harbor hash brown, side of Canadian bacon and regular bacon with his choice of drink the strawberry mimosa. Everything was delish! The enviable was nice and chill. Not noisy at all. I loved my experience and will definitely come back whenever I get a chance. read more

Egg Harbor Café - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Hinsdale, Illinois

I had never been to the original location so this was my first visit so I have nothing to compare it to. I had been to Cine and Harry and Eddie's many times so I'm used to the space. I do like that they opened it up as opposed to having the back dining room closed off. The decor is pretty basic but clean looking. Here is what I don't get...this area has an abundance of diner breakfast spots but nothing that is more for a grown up audience with higher end foods and brunch cocktails. I feel like they are really missing an opportunity here by not fulfilling a missing need. Some of the positives are that they have a 'waitlist' option on their website so that you don't have to sit around for a long time and they text you when your table is ready, which is a nice option. I also liked that they allowed for payment via phone. What I did not like is the portions are HUGE. I think the pricing is good but I would enjoy some options that are not that big. I got their orange/strawberry mimosa and my husband got the spicy bloody Mary. The mimosa was just okay but the bloody was definitely above average. The drinks took a long time to come and the server said it was because they needed someone over 21 to make them. This is the busiest time at 10am on a Saturday and there was no one behind the bar that could produce cocktails? My husband got the cinnamon swirl French toast, which he said was good but nothing spectacular. I got the salmon benedict, which was good but again, nothing that was a huge standout. I liked their crispy potatoes and thought the seasoning was spot on. Overall, I think the food is above average but the service is below average. Right after our food was dropped off the server put the check down on our table (again, to pay via mobile so she didn't check on us again at all) without even asking if we wanted anything else. They definitely give you the feel of 'hurry up and get out.' I felt very rushed and actually was going to order another drink but we decided just to get out. I'll try it again but again, I think they are missing a really good opportunity to fill a gap that is needed in the area. read more

Pancake are great very fluffy and the bacon is great very crispy. Service is excellent always there if you need something.

Exceptional breakfast....Very extensive and fun menu with an array of options. Very nice ambiance and service was great. Got seated right away,food came quickly, and they leave a pitcher of coffee. They have a home made jam that is a must to try,which they also sell. I will be back!! read more

Breakfast foods , nice selections, the service is very fast ( very busy today) and I'm enjoying the casual atmosphere here!

Ordered through door dash. The biscuits & gravy were mediocre at best. I submitted two orders of the biscuits & gravy but didn't even receive the side of 'harbor potatoes' for either order. I substituted the eggs in both orders for mini pancakes which were dry af & was only given one small container of butter & one small container of syrup for both orders.. Also ordered 'Sam Swedish Pancakes' that should have been served with Lingonberry butter & lingonberries. All I received was plain crepes. I wanted to like this place & give it a shot but was ultimately left in disappointment. When I called the restaurant to explain, the worker tried to offer half off or a fresh order but I ordered on doordash & obviously had no intention of leaving my house- so I'm giving two stars for that & proceeded to submit my dispute through door dash for the missing items. Not impressed at all. read more

Awesome breakfast with great service! Having our own coffee pot on the table is a favorite of mine. It just makes it easier. I ate the breakfast burrito. Substituted regular pork sausage for the chorizo and it was delicious. My wife ate the more healthy option while my son had a skillet. Both were extremely happy with their meal. Food was cooked well and was ready very quickly. read more

If there are food runners why does the food not come out hot???? What's up with that? Ground control to Major Tom....

Fast, friendly service. Sausage was lukewarm and strange. Potatoes also lukewarm. Blueberry pancakes were very good. If you like a restaurant with an exceptional high level of noise, this is the place for you. read more

I have forgotten our server's name (petite woman) but she deserves several stars for helping us today! I asked what she recommended and she said she loved the shakshouka. Turns out, I loved it, too. Actually, I had seen shakshouka on several food shows but since I live in the deep 815, this was my first opportunity to order it. Won't be the last, especially if it tastes like it does at Egg Harbor in Glenview. My wife had one of their skillets, and it looked great, too. She said it was. Anyway, we've never had anything bad at any EHC anywhere, but just I wanted to point out how great our server was today, and also to pat myself on the back for eating Moroccan tomato eggs. Seriously, it was THAT good! read more

The service was really fast and the food was great. I had a fun time with my friends and the restaurant looked really nice too.

I finally made my way to Egg Harbor's new location and my last review was from several years ago, so time for an update! First of all, they really have found a top notch space for what I assume is their flagship store. Nestled right in downtown Hinsdale on what I feel is really like foodie row. First and Washington are home to star brands like Nabuki, Fuller House, Toni and Altamura to name just a few of the local greats. As most locals know, parking can be scarce on this street but Hinsdale has a parking garage. Quick park and a short walk and you are drinking hot coffee from one of their signature mugs and enjoying all the same high quality delicious breakfast and lunch items that have made their menu great for years. I was delighted to see the beautiful chicken oil paintings from the old restaurant on the walls, and also impressed with the new beverage bar which emphasizes their delicious coffee and new brunch-style beverages like trendy flavored mimosas. This successful brand continues to shine brightly in a space that elevates. read more

Horrible service. Ordered a pickup order with only three items - one was missing. Called and asked for replacement. Returned and the lady just about threw it at me - no apology no anything. Called and spoke with manager who did apologize did not seem like he cared much either. The restaurant (Hinsdale Location) was nearly empty so not like they were overwhelmed. It will be a while before I try them again - hopefully they rotate out of the existing crew - or at least that cashier person. read more

My 13 year old makes better breakfast. Yes. It's true. My son and I dined in; he had pancakes, I had a sausage skillet and requested them to add onions and tomatoes. 10 minutes later the food came out. Wow. That was lightening fast. The waitress placed a plate of raw onions and tomatoes on my table. Um. Why, the raw veggies? The waitress told me the cooks were supposed to cook them in with the skillet, but didn't. Sooooo, am I supposed to suffer? I let it go and dug into my skillet. It was dry, hard, salty and I was ready to go. My son enjoyed his pancakes, but he eats anything. He's not an accurate gauge of yumminess. The waitress drops off the check. They charge me 2 bucks for veggies, twice. I flag the waitress and she says "I'll see if I can get this taken off, I'm not sure." Whatttttttt? Wait a minute, you mess up my order and then charge me for the mess up? Twice? Upon paying at the front, the manager decided to give me a 10% discount because I seemed unhappy with my meal. Nice try, Egg Harbor. I won't be back. My teen makes better meals with his eyes closed. read more
