Had a really solid experience today at Egg Harbor (River North location). You can find it at the corner of Chicago and Wells. I ordered ahead through their app. It was seamless - easy to navigate and check out. Food was ready on time. Pick up is in the back of the restaurant - turn left and go straight once coming in front door. Items were packed well for transport. The matcha kiwi power bowl and the Door County chicken salad were very good - enough for 2 servings each. The iced vanilla latte and dirty chai latte was very good - good enough to rival many coffee places in the area. Staff/employees were nice and helpful. Interior of restaurant was clean and well taken care of. Highly recommend! read more

I was rolling around in my chair, the food was that freaking good! I knew the reviews were not lying but they really don't do this place justice! Th hash skillets satisfy every brunch craving atom you could have. You know those dreams of how food used to taste like as a kid (and how it was better & itched a certain part of your soul?) well this was THE meal that made me believe in magic. Not sure if it's because it's cooked in beef tallow, or if they just know what to put together but every single item pictured was better than imagined. I wish I lived in chicago, I'd be here every weekend. Service is great, and ambiance surprisingly great for how busy it was. read more

This Saturday was our first visit to Egg Harbor at the Streeterville location, and we had a great experience. We arrived for a 9:30 call-ahead reservation, which worked perfectly. The menu reminds me a lot of First Watch spots around the Midwest--lots of fresh, creative options alongside the breakfast classics. Plenty of "yummy choices" that make it hard to decide. I ordered the Avo-Rizo Burrito, a hearty wrap stuffed with scrambled eggs, chorizo, avocado, and cheese, served with salsa and potatoes. Every bite had that perfect balance of flavor--rich but not heavy. For something sweet, my wife couldn't resist the Strawberry Crunch French Toast, thick slices topped with fresh strawberries, a crunchy granola-like topping, and just enough whipped cream. Both dishes were excellent and way bigger than our appetites. Our caramel macchiato arrived at the table in seconds, while the regular coffees took a little longer. But once everything was served, the food more than made up for the wait--beautifully plated, hearty portions, and absolutely delicious. What I really appreciate about a place like Egg Harbor is the combination of value, excellent food, and competent, friendly service. It feels like the kind of spot you can count on for a relaxed, satisfying breakfast or brunch. I'd happily come back to work my way through more of the menu. read more

Tried Egg Harbor for a late Sunday breakfast and had a fantastic experience. It can be tough to find a healthy, high-protein breakfast at a typical cafe or diner, but Egg Harbor totally delivered. I went with their "Create Your Own Scrambler" and chose egg whites, mozzarella, chicken sausage, and onions. It came with their perfectly seasoned potatoes and an English muffin and was exactly the kind of high-protein, lower-calorie meal I was looking for. I really appreciated how customizable everything was, and even better, it tasted amazing while still feeling clean and nutritious. I also added a side of meat, two slices of turkey bacon and an extra chicken sausage , for just $6, which was well worth it and was the perfect add on to my meal. Overall, it was a great breakfast experience, and I'd definitely order again. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a satisfying and health-conscious start to the day! read more

We loved Egg Harbor! For a busy Saturday, huge kudos to the staff (front and back) for a very efficient and delicious experience. Huge menu and everything was very fresh and tasty! They had many specials as well. The banana bread French toast was delightful. They even offered us coffee to go at the end of the meal, which helped us fuel the day. We were visiting, but would surely recommend or return! read more

I love Egg Harbor. They're a solid and reliable breakfast spot that is always consistently good. This time I built my own scramble with egg whites, chicken sausage, roasted onions, spinach, and tomato. Not too oily and tasty! It comes with potatoes which are always good - less crispy with delivery of course but still good. This time they were a bit stale but again that could be from delivery. I upgraded my toast to specialty pancakes, love that option! This time I got the cinnamon swirl which were tasty and not too sweet. I've also tried the lemon poppyseed in the past which were also delicious. In my top pancake picks for the city. Overall, love egg harbor and highly recommend. read more

I had Egg Harbor in my hometown growing up, so I was so happy when they moved down the street a couple years ago! They have a fabulous rewards program that racks up quickly. Service is mostly quick and efficient. Ambiance is family oriented. There are bees if you sit outside but nice to people watch. Food sometimes comes out 7/10 but sometimes 9/10 but drinks are normally on point. Best spicy Bloody Mary I've had! read more

Family of 6, 3 little kids visiting for the weekend & found this gem close to our hotel. The food, so tasty, great portions! Decent prices. Our server was amazing. If you get Lisa, you won't be disappointed. She was so patient with us, and gave great suggestions. There's a small kiddie corner to keep little ones entertained while you wait for the food. Ambiance gave family vibes, might be back before leaving town! read more

Great breakfast and gluten-free spot. Good for a weekend brunch with friends or casual date. They have an entire gluten-free menu, for those with allergies. Our waitress was super attentive and kind, and gave great suggestions. I loved my Honey Harborcinno, a perfect coffee drink on a hot day. Not too sweet. The Farmer's Market Eggs Benedict was a yummy and unique menu item. The veggies went well with the egg and crispy English muffin. House potatoes were slightly crispy and lightly seasoned. read more

Woke up late and this was one of the places that didn't have a long wait time by the time I rolled out of bed LOL. Place is inside a building that was on my way to my next tourist spot. I probably had 30 minutes left prior to them closing and they didn't seem to rush the service. Which to me was good and it seemed normal service so I knew my food would not pay the price. I ordered the traditional breakfast with sausage patties, scrambled eggs and house potatoes. The food was good. Had I probably ordered something else I might have had a wow fish, but bc I'm lactose intolerant I played it safe and the food was good. I ordered a classic latte and that was good. Love that I could still taste the coffee and not overly sweet. Service was quick and the server didn't mind all my fairy questions. If I do happen to go back I would definitely go back. read more

In short - choose somewhere else. The food was not very good. The avocado toast was thin, sad and soggy, the pancakes were flat and fairly bland, the shakshuka was very watery. The Mac and cheese seemed to be Kraft Mac and cheese. With so many great options in Chicago, I'm surprised at the many positive reviews here. read more

Great breakfast! The service was quick, and attentive. We were sat right away on a Friday morning, and served quickly as well. The food was just a general good breakfast! Definitely a good choice, but nothing life changing. The coffee I ordered was really good though, and would highly recommend the Brown Sugar Latte read more

Went here on a Saturday morning with my sister. The tortilla soup was good and heartier than it looked. The turkey club was decent. The service was friendly and kind and the vibe was family friendly. There was a children's play section with a dollhouse but all I saw was germs - sorry. Nice idea but logistically - who's cleaning the toys and how thorough and often? I more than likely won't be back because I can get the menu anywhere. read more

Love the service, coffee drinks, and food here! The place is also really nice. We were seated at the bar but still received excellent service. Definitely recommend their iced brown sugar latte and habanero hash! The avocado toast with goat cheese is tasty and the spicy bacon elevates it. Can't say enough great things and would definitely be back! read more

Egg Harbor was a few blocks away from our Airbnb so we decided to stop here for breakfast one day. The servers were super nice and attentive. I got the brown sugar iced latte and it was amazing. I wish I went back for more. I got the caprese avocado toast and it was so good and filling, I didn't finish it. It comes with a eggs and a side of fruit as well. My fiance ordered a burrito and it came with the most flavorful potatoes I've ever had. I finished those up! He got the cookies and cream frappe and that was delicious as well. I am so sad we didn't go back here because I really wanted to try other menu items read more

Egg Harbor always hits the spot whenever my husband and I make time for breakfast/brunch when we want to hang out before work. We both went to school up north so we used to frequent the one in Lake Forest and were super excited to see that there's a location close to us again! We never really have to wait to get seated since we usually come during the week in the morning. Food is always fantastic whenever we're there and love their specials and coffee selection. Service is great and pretty quick - we always get our food in a reasonable amount of time and are never late to work. Every time we've been there, it's always been a great experience so you can expect us to keep coming back whenever we find the time to do so! read more

Egg Harbor--solid spot for a no-nonsense breakfast, whether you're rolling in hungover with the crew or grabbing a meal with family. Coffee's hot, refills keep coming, and the service is on point. Our server was great--answered any questions and made sure everything came out right. Blackberry banana pancakes? Fluffy, loaded with fruit, no complaints. Cinnamon swirl pancakes hit the spot too--good balance of cinnamon and cream cheese icing without overdoing it. Went with the classic combo--eggs, thick-cut bacon (had a maple brown sugar vibe, which was pretty good). Just an easy, well-executed breakfast. Nothing over-the-top fancy, just good food at a reasonable price with friendly service. For a chain, it holds its own. Would swing by again. read more

Nice addition to this particular part of River North. I went for lunch during the week day and you can just walk in and get seated right away. If you need a quick lunch I would consider dining here as they bring out your food in five minutes after ordering! Giving this 4 stars as the menu is over priced. Cobb salad was $17, skillet was $17., and oak milk matcha latte was $7. The menu is pretty intensive so you will definitely find something for everyone. read more

I grew up going to the Egg Harbor Cafe location in the suburbs and was so excited to see that this location in the city had opened up. I went with a small group around 10am on a Sunday morning and was happy to be seated right away with no wait. I really recommend getting the Eggceptional Skillet Combo. I ordered it with mushrooms, avocado, and pepper jack cheese. It comes with banana bread which is so delicious. I wanted a seasonal drink and went with the Iced Pumpkin Apple Macchiato. To be honest, the apple kind of overpowered the pumpkin in this drink and it didn't fully taste like either, almost had a mixed muted flavor of both. It was still a good drink, just not what I expected. My friend that came eats gluten-free and we really appreciated that Egg Harbor Cafe has their own entire gluten-free menu, that was awesome to see. read more

I really liked this relaxed breakfast / lunch spot. they were able to accommodate our Group of 9, incl toddler and baby. Our waitress was friendly, order was taken in a very timely manner, The food was good, well flavored. They have a small play area for young children, which anyone with small ones will appreciate. I would recommend getting on their waitlist, it is in a trendy area and I imagine that wait time can be long. Street parking. The place isn't too loud, its large windows make it bright inside, and it's modern. read more

Fantastic breakfast! Servings were generous and wait staff super friendly and efficient.

As a northwest suburban kid, I was surprised when I saw Egg Harbor was opening a River North location. This place is a suburban staple that regularly has hour plus waits on weekends. On a Saturday around noon, the wait was only 15 mins for two, which was a welcome surprise! Banana French toast was solid and their syrup is one you'll remember for a bit. My sister had an omelette that was tasty as well. Portions aren't as big as a place like Cozy Corner or Pancake House, but they were nothing to scoff at either. Prices are definitely high, but that comes with the area I guess. To be honest, I feel like it'll be tough for this place to stay open for a while because of its weird location outside of busier part of downtown. BUT I hope it does, because it deserves to be!

Food tastes good. Portions are nice at this location. I love trying to order from the seasonal menus because the food and drinks on that menu are only there for a limited time and the seasonal menu rotates. It gives diner vibes, pretty cozy and decorated. They definitely are on brand with all their locations. They look and feel the same. The service at this location can be iffy though, sometimes slow/hard to catch their attention and they've forgotten my drink order. read more

Just popped in for a quick brunch, it was nice to be seated right away. Ordered a spiked lemonade bc it came with strawberry boba, but didn't have it when it came to the table. When asked, it was clear the staff didn't know the menu and went and checked if they were out or it was left out. Turned out they were out of it, which was disappointing because that was the only reason I ordered it. Double disappointing that our waiter said nothing, and that I had to point it out. Nothing was offered as resolution either. Food was bland and unappetizing as well. I got the San Antonio skillet and my partner got the blueberry pancake meal. It honestly sucks to say the skillet was just a bit yucky, the cheese congealed quickly. The pancakes were somehow grainy? It was just a disappointing brunch. Servers clearly aren't paid enough to give a sh*t, or they aren't trained enough. Either way, look elsewhere for breakfast. read more

We are in town for a family vacation and were looking for a good breakfast to fuel us for a day of sightseeing and catching the Cubs game. Egg Harbor was an amazing choice. Our server, Debbie was extremely responsive and friendly. She knew the menu well and was able to make recommendations and asked about allergies. Our food came out so quickly that we were all shocked.
