We've been to this location and other Egg Harbor Cafe locations before, so we had an idea of what to expect. There were tables open in many sections, but we were seated in a high traffic area near the host stand. This was not very comfortable for our group. Our food was just ok for the most part. The best dish that was served in terms of taste and quality was a chicken salad. The ingredients at least seemed fresh. Our other dishes were bland - biscuits and gravy and a chicken avocado wrap. Both were lacking any distinctive flavor. We requested tomato soup with the chicken wrap, but it was served lukewarm, with a cold spot in the center. We mentioned this to the server as our meals were served, as the soup was an upcharge to the salad that normally accompanies the wrap. We received an apology, but no other accommodation was made. Cleanliness was an issue. The rest rooms are near the open entrance to the kitchen. One of our family members has mobility issues, and there were traces of dropped food, puddles of water, etc. leading to and from the kitchen, in the path of the public restrooms. It was dangerous in terms of a slipping hazard to cross over that pathway to use the rest rooms. There were several seniors there that morning, with walkers and canes. The pathway should be cleaned more frequently to prevent falls. Honestly, there are better breakfast/lunch places in this area and for the same value. We had a pretty mediocre experience during our visit. read more

Egg Harbor Café - Menu - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Libertyville, Illinois

One of the top two breakfast spots in Libertyville. Exceptional selection, breakfast offerings, and service. Egg Harbor Cafe boasts a large menu with something for everyone. Traditional breakfast items and some unique favorites such as Shakshuka and chilaquiles. I went with the garden skillet this time around, hoping for some extra vegetables in my life and it did not disappoint. A generous portion, I took leftovers home with me. The coffee was bottomless, and the Bloody Mary was flavorful and a nice cherry on top of Saturday brunch. Our waitress was quick and attentive. The decor could use a refresh, while they've semi-recently updated the front counter, the dining room could use an update as well. read more

This place is in our rotation for lunch during the week. We ask for Cesar every time we go in - he is incredible. They have a separate GF menu with a ton of options. My friend and I shared GF pancakes (which are the best btw) and shakshuka with GF toast. The spice was perfect! They did remove the impossible sausage as a side so I was sad to see that item go, but we love coming here and will continue to come back! read more

Avoid this place like the plague on holiday weekends. Went there today with my daughter and the food took nearly half an hour to get to us. Of course I asked for one minor change to my order, and as I predicted, they ignored it and it had to be remade, adding to the wait. Our server was fine, but this has been happening throughout the 15-plus years I have been going here. At any other time, even when they're busy, the service is good and the food comes really fast. But every time I dare to eat here on a holiday weekend, it's a mess. It's as if they think everyone is out of town and the place will be empty, so they intentionally short-staff, bring in the C team, or both. If you can't handle the traffic on a holiday weekend guys, then just close it down for three days. read more

Every time I've tried to come here before I was scared off by the waitlist. I was sooo excited to finally stop in this morning & had really high hopes. I figured it must be so popular for good reasons. It wasn't awful by any means but it also wasn't too special. The avocado toast was a little bland and the fruit cup was tiny. I was really into the tiny skillet the eggs were served in tho that was cute read more

Food was okay, nothing special. Service was very slow. Waited over an hour for our breakfast. Had to pass the kitchen on my way to the bathroom. Kitchen was very dirty. And both the men's and women's bathrooms were filthy. Our waiter said they were short staffed. If that's the case, close a section. And seriously keep it clean. read more

Easy to get seated , Excellent food, many choices for both breakfast and lunch and clean restaurant.

My mother, daughter, and I enjoy breakfast here every Sunday. The staff and food are both great.

Spacious and comfortable seating, friendly service. However, the menu seemed really different from what I had at the Egg Harbor restaurant in Oak Brook. There, they had a long drink list including espresso drinks, and many of the brunch items had the option of having pancakes on the side. Here, no espresso drinks were on the menu - we were told they are about to install an espresso machine so maybe that will change soon. The menu seemed shorter than the Oak Brook location, and pancakes as part of the brunch entree was not an option. Most items came with a toasted English muffin and signature jam (the jam was actually delicious). The brunch selection was pretty standard; the maple bacon was fantastic but the brunch potatoes were bland and looked like they came frozen from a bag. What I did really like was that the kids meals were very reasonably priced - $7 gets two pancakes, a scrambled egg, one fat juicy sausage (or 2 strips of bacon) and a beverage. read more

Sadly the menu changed. You can tell this is because of the economy. They took away so many good dishes and mostly everything is build your own. Hopefully this change this. But until then I'll just eat someplace else read more

Had brunch here. No wait and staff very accommodating with seating preference. Wait staff helpful with recommendations. Our order was delivered to our table very quickly. Strawberry Mimosa was a refreshing way to start our brunch. Not too sweet. So good!! I ordered the Carnitas Skillet. Meat and potatoes well seasoned and flavorful. Over medium eggs cooked to perfection. I also ordered the Swedish Pancakes. Texture palatable and the light dusting of powdered sugar with Lingonberry Butter and Lingonberries delicious!! My husband ordered Matt's Meaty Skillet and he asked to add Chorizo. He said the addition really elevated the taste with its spicy flavor. He also ordered the seasonal Pumpkin Pancakes, which he thoroughly enjoyed. Yes, I will go back and yes, definetly recommend eating here. read more

Utterly disappointed. Love avocado toast because I like avocado... this toast had thinnest layer and no avocado flavor... for the price you pay I feel this was not worth it.. kind of feel nipped.. I did ask the waitress if this is really how they make the toast (with very thin almost non existent avocado) and she said yes. I showed her the dry edges. Be menus also not clean as they had crusty food on edges. read more

To be quick, I would not visit again. I had read the reviews and decided to give it a try but was very disappointed with the food. To start off, the potatoes tasted frozen and were undercooked leaving it a weird frozen taste. The fruit was okay, but they had a weird soapy taste. I tried the banana bread French toast and the flavor was fine, but it was burnt around the edges. I had ordered a burrito but the whole cilantro stem was in the burrito rather than the leaves. The service was great and the server was very nice. I also really enjoyed the decorations and ambiance, but the food did not match. read more

I'm not a breakfast person most of the time but this day I was. It wasn't very crowded during this darn pandemic but we were seated and they seemed grateful for our presence. Our server was incredibly friendly and fast! The food was amazing and filling and I loved that bit of spice. Top that with eggs and cilantro with a dash of hot sauce!! I love how it was served in hot plates which only added to the quality of the food and experience. I'm definitely a fan and will be back for more selections that I wanted to try. read more

The food, and service is excellent. All the staff are courteous and helpful. I would rank the Harbor at five stars.

Very disappointed, the fruit was moldy, the avocado spread was not fresh, and the overall experience was not the quality that is expected. Cesar our waiter was very nice and provided good service. Even as we left 4 employees standing around the register, not a goodbye, how was everything, come back again. I have been coming to this location for years, unfortunately will not be coming back. read more

This was a happy surprise ending to a fun night away! Totally recommend Egg Harbor. Tucked into the quaint downtown of Libertyville, this was an awesome brunch spot to cap off a weekend visit. My Bloody Mary was spicy, with crispy bacon and fresh shrimp- a perfect match! I got shakshuka with perfectly poached eggs- savory, rich, and just a touch of sweetness ...a dish to remember. My wife had a fantastic chicken salad sandwich with some super crispy potatoes and a fresh lemonade. Great service from John and a coffee mug to go! Awesome spot! read more

Egg Harbor is delicious and reliable at each location. We visited the Wheaton location for the first time yesterday and enjoyed good service and tasty breakfast food. Our server was friendly and prompt. The cinnamon roll French toast is always very good, while my husband had a chicken salad sandwich and potatoes. Their breakfast potatoes are flavorful but not greasy. This location is in cute downtown Wheaton, so walk around before or after your meal! read more

In my world, a restaurant is already great if they allow dogs but when the service is wonderful & so is the food? Sign me up!

I went to Egg Harbor for the first time in a while. I have only been to this establishment one other time. There was no wait, which was a major bonus because I know it is a popular breakfast spot. It was so good and I believe the portions are just right. I ordered a hot chocolate and the Cassie's Crepes. The crepes came with a homemade poppyseed dressing which offers the perfect amount of tang to the crepes that are filled with avocado, mushrooms, eggs and jack and cheddar cheeses. They also come with potatoes and buttered English muffin with house-made jam. Their hours are limited so get there or order online before 2:15pm. read more

Egg Harbor Café - Hot chocolate with sprinkles - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Libertyville, Illinois

First brunch home for the holidays with my family! We found this restaurant in our favorite part of Libertyville. We called ahead of time and ended up waiting on our table for about 30 minutes which is the same time we were told on the phone. They made a great little waiting area with seats and a heater right outside of the actual restaurant for the winter months. The best part of the wait was the free coffee right at the front! The restaurant was decorated with holiday themed items and it seemed very comfortable in there. While there was a lot of seating and it was packed, you're far away from everyone to make it your own experience. Our waitress was very kind and came to us right as we sat down to get our drink orders set. She explained the menu thoroughly and was very helpful in making substitutions. My food came out wrong the first time, but she immediately took it back and came out with a whole new plate. Now some restaurants like to pick out the wrong ingredients or just change one thing and bring you back the same plate, but not this place! They made me a whole new dish, which I really appreciated, and quickly too! Overall, the food was great! We had a great variety and lots of options to choose from even for my vegetarian mother. I would highly recommend this place for a family breakfast/brunch. The experience is worth the wait. read more

Great vegetarian options! Delicious green juice and coffee drinks. Always good service also.

Not a strong showing for Egg Harbor. Been here a few times before with better experiences so will stick with 3 stars but this experience would be more of a 1 or 2. Our server was kind enough and our food came out quick but it was underwhelming. I got the door county chicken sandwich and it was ok. The toast was greasy, so much so that I had to wipe my hands after each bite. The potatoes were not much attended to. Flavorless and cold. The salad had more water in the bottom than dressing. My husband got the meat skillet and said it was ok. The final straw for me was when I went into the bathroom. It was not clean and desperately needs some updates. Because I have had good experiences in the past I would try again. read more

We have been going to this restaurant since they opened and it never disappoints. The food, the service and atmosphere are best!

Baiba, July 11, 2024 My friends and I got there for brunch, and I ordered eggs Bennedict. Usually, they are pretty good but this time the eggs were overcooked, and the yolks were hard. So, I pointed this out to the waitress, and she said she would bring me new ones, which she did. They were poached eggs alright but served on a small plate. I had to scrape my other eggs off the muffins, put them on the plate and put the poached eggs back on the muffins. Thank you very much. read more

This is one of our family's go to breakfast place because of how quick the service is and the quality of the food. Everything we have tasted here is absolutely delicious. The eggs are always cooked well, the ingredients used in dishes are fresh, and there are options for everyone on the menu. The prices are fair and the employees are always kind. I have come here many times and will continue to come. I recommend this breakfast joint to anyone who is in the area! read more

What a great find! This was my first visit and it was a great experience! The menu selection was unique and well done. I had the chorizo chilaquielles with eggs and my wife had a quinoa skillet. We had six people in our party and everyone enjoyed their particular meals. Nice to have everyone happy for a change with a resturant choice! i would easily recommend this place to eat but be prepared for a wait at certain times of week/day. Well worth it as the food and service does not disappoint. read more

A friend and I had lunch at Egg Harbor today. We arrived a little before 1. They close at 2. Much to my amazement a little before 1:30 I heard a vacuum cleaner. Someone was vacuuming right around the tables/booths where people were eating. In addition, our waitress disappeared around the same time. Didn't see her again til just before 2. As we walked out I noticed that she, another waitress, and the hostess were rolling silverware in napkins. I guess this took precedent over taking care of the customers. read more
