    Chicken and waffles
    Ariel C.

    What a peaceful and delicious experience. I came to Egg House looking for a place to enjoy a solo breakfast and a good read, but I think I found my new favorite breakfast place! I'm quite picky about my chicken and waffles but it is a must try here!! My picture does it no justice! Service was friendly and food was ready quick. I have no complaints. I can't wait to come back!

    Greetings! When a neighborhood standby calls it quits after years of being a fixture, all eyes will certainly be on the replacement...enter the Arlington Heights' The Egg House location. After a comprehensive, and impressive, renovation The Egg House basically took downtown Arlington Heights by storm. In the time since their open, The Egg House successfully grabbed the baton from The Uptown Cafe and is running on all cylinders. You walk in the door and the decor is fresh, fun, and inventive. Tasteful touches and smart seating layout make the space a great place to be! Service is exceptional. I appreciate the poise and polish of the staff training...Management knows their business well. The Egg House has a great menu for breakfast and lunch. Traditional offerings and creative choices are likely to please guests again and again. Recipes and presentation tell me that getting the details right sit at the core of The Egg House philosophy. Coffee, a critical component of my morning (life), is a great cup time and time again! Bathrooms are great...which is a huge W in my mind. My hope is that you find this recent addition to downtown Arlington Heights a worthy choice in your repertoire for solid local eating. So, with everything going so well for The Egg House, why only four stars? It's a Five Star experience in menu choices, ambiance, service, presentation and recipes...no question. However, in my humble opinion, it comes up a touch short in flavor development. I certainly acknowledge that favor impact is a subjective quality. That said, any Five Stars reviews provided by other reviewers are well-worth your consideration. A Five Star from me means I would eat the flowers off the plate and eat the dish all over again because it blew my mind right then and there. The Egg House has won over an adoring audience...let's see if they can elevate from their proven success down the road! Until next time...tk

    The food and service was amazing! Christine took great care of us and we all enjoyed our brunch so much! We were in town for a ball tournament and we wouldn't hesitate to come back to Egg House. It was delicious!

    So disappointed with my experience at Egg House. They have two locations: Arlington Heights and Lombard. I have had this on my list to visit for a while after seeing rave reviews by others. The inside is very cute in its decor to appeal to all generations but the service style definitely aligns with a classic diner. We only waited about 5-10 minutes for a table to open up which is great for a Sunday! It took a bit before our server greeted us so we decided to order our food right away. The food didn't take long but items were not prepared as requested. Also, the house potatoes were smothered in onions which was not alluded to on menu. We ended up having 4 different staff members service us between ordering, filling waters, bringing our check, and getting a box. It felt a bit confusing and disconnected from a patron standpoint. Lastly, while the menu items come with a lot of sides, nothing left us feeling blown away. The food was ok at best lacking a sense of seasoning and flavor. Hoping my experience is not the norm and we just didn't order right!

    Denver Omelette and biscuits with gravy

    New owners running a great breakfast spot in downtown Arlington Heights. Highly recommend. I got the Denver omelet with the potatoes and biscuits and gravy. The biscuits and gravy was some of the best I've had in a while. You are missing out if you don't try it. The portions are huge so prepare to share! I was the only one sitting outside to enjoy the beautiful weather and service was amazing. Most of the time they forget about you but not here.

    Service, food and ambiance were all fine. Pesto Chicken Panini was good. The only disappointment was that I asked if the fries were battered (which I don't like) and was told no, but they were. However they replaced them with a cup of soup without an issue.

    Pros: I would highly recommend this place for their brunch menu! We got the mini waffles and the Avocado Benedict. The Avocado Benedict was really tasty but there was one egg in mine that didn't have that runny yolk consistency which I was kinda sad about. The mini waffles are AMAZING! Honestly I wish I had gotten the mini waffles with the fruits on top as my actual meal because having a bit from my son's plate, it was fantastic! The service was quick and the servers were extremely nice. The ambiance was nice, nothing over the top. They had fake leaves that were on the ceiling but that's pretty much it for the ambience. Cons: The house potatoes I received weren't as good as I hoped them to be. There were some burnt ones and honestly the onion pairing with it didn't go together. The bacon I felt could have been cooked a little bit more. Overall: It's a great brunch spot and I would highly recommend the waffles!

    My friend got a scrambler and chose biscuits and gravy on top. There are several options for sides and she loved this one.

    I don't know why it took me so long to visit Egg House but I went twice in 2 weeks because it was so good. The interior is totally redone and looks great. Booths against the walls and tables in the middle. Service was fast and friendly and they have a HUGE menu full of breakfast and lunch options. The servings were big and the prices were very reasonable for what you got. I'll keep coming back for more.

    This location was the former Uptown Cafe (most known to area residents). Egg House transformed the inside to a bright and lively restaurant for breakfast, brunch, and lunch. There's a free parking lot across the street when spaces off the street are full. Walking in we were welcomed warmly and seated immediately. They just had their soft opening on Wednesday 2/7. We were given some time to look over the menu. Hubby ordered the Strip Steak and Eggs with toast. I ordered the Country Fried Steak with Eggs and pancakes. The steak was food, it seems to be seasoned with Montreal seasoning which we can do without. We are salt and pepper, natural tasting steak people. It was cooked to a perfect medium rare! The eggs were good and the shredded potatoes were good as well, just a little overly cooked. My country fried steak was crispy and tender. Covered with delicious white gravy, just enough to keep it all tasty. Maybe a tad bit too salty but not offensive. What I will RAVE about are the pancakes! They are so light and fluffy with a slight hint of sweetness. They are so good! Served with butter and warm syrup! I will be back for the pancakes!!! I also want to try to Belgium waffles and the French toast! Our server, Maggie, was so attentive and sweet. She checked back a few times to see if we needed anything and refilled our iced tea and coffee. I'm excited to try more items on their menu and look forward to their success!

    This place is so cute! It's one of our favorite breakfast restaurants in downtown Arlington Heights. Major warning: when they say two eggs - it's actually four eggs!!! Double check with your waiter for a certain dish on this, but I would say this is awesome! They do not have oat milk for your coffee. Just a heads up. Everything else was good! Can't wait to come here again.

    Corned Beef Skillet w/ pancakes
    Stacy H.

    visited on a saturday morning before 9a and it was not busy so we were seated right away. right off the bat, the staff seemed very friendly. they asked if we wanted to sit at a booth or table and we opted for the booth. i ordered the corned beef skillet with scrambled eggs and pancakes. my husband ordered the steak skillet, sunny side up, with wheat toast. the food came out very quickly. the pancakes were smaller than other breakfast spots but they were good regardless. the skillet tasted good as well. my husband liked his steak skillet but his stomach took a turn shortly after and we're not sure why. overall, a solid breakfast place and we will be back!

    My son chose Egg House for a special Mom/Son late lunch outing. He ordered the 2 + 4 Malted Pancakes and I ordered the Salmon Toast on gluten free bread with a side of hash browns. Everything was delicious and the service was perfect. Thanks for a special meal!

    I have been to Egg House restaurants in other locations and I wanted to try their newest restaurant in Arlington Heights. This new location did not disappoint. The new owners made some major renovations including hanging vegetation and a bright new coat of paint. They even brightened up the bathroom, which sorely needed it. I especially enjoyed the heater under the sink. Our server was nice and friendly and checked on us often. I had the chocolate chip bacon pancakes. The pancakes were malty and the bacon was crispy. A win in my book. I highly recommend Egg House in Arlington Heights. I will be coming back to try of their menu.

    Awesome brick back drop!

    Used to be a dump, new owners did a nice job fixing the place up. Food was good, server was cranky. Not too expensive.

    We saw the Scratchboard Kitchen on tiktok and wanted to see what all the hype was about. How did it…read moreturn out, let's find out: Ambiance The Sratchboard kitchen has a bright and welcoming decor. The lighten in the place was warm. And the music seemed similar to a club beat but not obnoxiously loud. Service The service was great. Our server gave us some recommendations and the staff seemed pretty nice. The food itself did not take too long to come out. Also, when there was a mistake with one of the orders, it was taken care of without any issues. Food Fried potatoes This was a recommended side. The potatoes themselves were crispy with a fluffy middle. It came with a spicy mayo type of dipping sauce which tasted good other than the fact that dipping the potatoes in it did not really get that much sauce on them. I would recommend this side dish. French onion grilled cheese The French onion grilled cheese is a very tasty dish. It has the sweetness of the caramelized onion and nice cheese pull. It is a rich dish so eating cause food fatigue. We got it with bacon. It was good but not really necessary. Crispy chicken sandwich This is the chicken sandwich seen on tiktok. The cutlet is thick and it was fried with a light coating. The chicken sandwich was juicy. I think mine might have needed a little more seasoning (my own preference). Overall The scratchboard kitchen is a nice place to go and have a bite to eat. It has a nice array of food and drink options. I would recommend at least trying the food and enjoying the ambiance and service.

We ordered some drinks (no one got alcohol) and some appetizers. We got the Low Carb Yuka Fries and while that is not my bag, they were good. I was pleasantly surprised. We also had the roasted red pepper spread, which everyone enjoyed. Two of us ordered the Ultimate Steak Sandwich. I opted to removed the caramelized onions. The other person let them on. I also removed the garlic herb sauce but replaced it with a chimichurri sauce. That really kicked it up a notch and was good for dipping the fries in. They're fresh cut fries, so they were good on their own, but the chimichurri again kicked it up a notch. We also ordered the chicken bowl, the avocado salad, and the Greek style lamb chops. We all loved our food and were too full for dessert. It's a quaint little place, cozy for intimate conversation or a night out with family and friends. I think the night was made a little more fun when a couple came in and was seated at a counter height table and were making out all night. It was a lot and gratuitous. The table next to them were visibly uncomfortable and that made it all the more enjoyable to witness. Dinner and a show. Who knew?

This was my first visit to Which Wich and I was a little overwhelmed by the bags on the wall (you're supposed to mark which wich you choose with a sharpie).

I was expecting a quick turnaround like at Subway or Potbelly's. No, your food is prepared behind a barrier and you were supposed to mark the toppings you wanted on the bag. It was about 20 minutes at which time I decided to take my food to go. I had a dr appointment so I took my wich into the office with me (didnt wanna leave a tuna wich in a 100 degree car).

When I entered Which Wich I grabbed a sandwich bag and filled in my order. This was new to me but I was able to figure it out and ordered successfully. An employee also explained this to me.

The sandwich was fine, a little better than your average sandwich shop sandwich but not super memorable. The French fries were really good and I enjoyed the skinnier fries. The milkshake was again ok but not great. The cookie, I thought, was the best thing I had from Which Wich. The food was average but what was really shocking was the price. This meal was $25.02. This was really expensive. A dinner for two would cost over $50! This caused me not to want to go back. It makes it really difficult to take a family here for food. For adequate food and really high prices, I cannot recommend Which Wich!
