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 read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

Egg House - Denver Omelette and biscuits with gravy - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Arlington Heights, Illinois

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! read more

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. read more

I visited Egg House a week ago with a couple of friends. They sat us right away and while the place wasn't super busy when we arrived, by the time we left, they were packed. My friend mentioned the location used to be the old Uptown Cafe. They made this location very cute with an Instagrammable back wall of exposed red brick and decorations adorned every spare section marking the holidays to come. I ordered a hot chocolate with the Hungry Man's Breakfast. My companions ordered coffee and the Denver omelet. The hot chocolate was huge, perfectly whipped with a nice drizzle of chocolate sauce on top. It was hot, but not burn-the-roof-or-your-tongue-hot. I got the eggs scrambled and dry. They were the fluffiest eggs I've ever had. The bacon was crispy (just how I wanted them) and melt in your mouth. I got them with their house potatoes and instead of buttered toast or two small pancakes, I got them with biscuits and gravy. The whole meal was delicious. Very fresh, eggs fluffy and flavorful. The biscuit and gravy were wonderful too! My friends got the omelet and shared it. They noticed that it was missing the cheese and let the server know who immediately removed the omelet to remake it with the cheese. The omelet came back within minutes and and was made correctly. The owner, Tony, then came by and brought them this beautiful plate of strawberry french toast. It was ooey gooey and on the house. They had to bring it home, but it looked and smelled yummy. When we got the bill, we weren't charged for their omelet or the french toast. It was a very nice gesture that they surely didn't need to do and we didn't ask them to remove the omelet. They were happy to have us there and we were happy to be there. And with all the breakfast places in the northwest suburbs existing and popping up, Egg House is a bright beacon amongst them all. I'd eat there every day if I lived closer. read more

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. read 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! read more

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. read more

We had a great brunch here! I ordered the chilaquiles and my partner got the breakfast burrito. They were both really tasty! My chilaquiles were so flavorful, but there was so much salsa and toppings that there was no crispiness left to the chips underneath. The service was great and I really appreciate that our server had recommendations when I asked. The ambiance was nice, too (lots of wood and hanging plants). We will definitely come back to try more from the menu! read more

My parents had tried this place over the weekend. It's brand new, tomorrow they will be open for a week. Safe to say we will all be going back! I went with one of my best friends this morning instead of going to our usual place. We were not disappointed! From the adorable decor to the super friendly staff and the delicious food I will definitely, as I said be going back! As the pictures will show you I decided to just go with the basic options for my first visit. They were done pretty perfectly. I have to say I think my favorite thing is that should you want something other than your traditional toast or pancake option with your eggs and sides, you can indeed get a biscuit and gravy. Which just happens to be one of my favorite breakfast foods and I usually have to choose between that and something else. The fact that I don't have to make that choice is pretty amazing! Now my only complaint, literally my only complaint, was that I wasn't offered cream with my coffee. That being said, it is a true testament to the quality of a product that they're providing , because this coffee diva was able to happily drink not one, but two cups of black coffee! Our server I believe her name was Lana was so sweet and I will definitely ask to be in her Section again next time! So if you're looking for a fun adorable new place for breakfast or lunch with a super friendly staff and a relaxing calming environment ... don't be a chicken ... check out Egg House! (Yep! I did that ) read more

Just found this place by accident and wow, what a great! First and foremost, they gave FRESH SQUEEZED OJ. That's major for me. Second, they were playing 50s and 60s music. Another major plus. Then the food. I ordered the eggs Benedict with extra well done hash browns. It was excellent and the hash browns were perfect. My husband got biscuits and gravy and he said it was great. When Kathy, our amazing waitress found out that we were newcomers she brought out an order of Tiramusu pancakes to try and WOW. They were really amazing with tiny pieces of coffee bean in the confection on top of the pancakes. We will definitely be coming back!! Try it. read more

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

I have been to this restaurant as a local now visitor (from Sonoma) more than once and frankly I'm embarrassed this is my first review- five stars all the way!!! you must have the avocado toast with poached eggs on top smoked salmon. It's fantastic. I recreated it in California. It was so good Thank you so much for inspiring us. foodies.!!! Service is also super attentive. Coffee is fantastic. They know who their regulars are and it warms my heart so much. I look forward to my return w/Eddie!!!! read more

Food was good but the service was terrible. Came in as a single for lunch and had to flag someone down after over 15 minutes of being ignored. It was not busy and at least 3-4 servers were just standing near the front. I remained polite even though I was still receiving poor service when a four top was seated near me had multiple servers helping them pretty much immediately. Food did not make up for the poor customer service. read more

I love this place. It's our first time, and we will come back. The staff were so lovely. They made sure to check in and that everything was good. We didn't have to wait long, even though it was fully packed and people were waiting. We will come back to try other items. The portions were huge. I didn't make a dent with the side of biscuits and gravy. The server asked if there was anything wrong with it. I was surprised because not many would recognize it. It was good, but it was too much for me to finish. read more

A wonderful addition to downtown Arlington Heights. My husband and I were seated right away on a busy Sunday morning.

Located in the former Uptown Cafe, Egg House is the newest addition to the Arlington Heights downtown area. On a Sunday morning at 9, it was quite busy, but we were seated immediately. The inside decor is clean and fresh. Our party of four tried a variety of dishes. I had the Egg Florentine Benedict with a side of fresh fruit. The benedicts were very good, and included three eggs. The tomato was fresh and flavorful, and the spinach was also fresh. Others had the Chocolate Chip Banana Swedish pancakes, three beautiful pancakes with lots of bananas and drizzled with chocolate. The steak skillet was in a large skillet topped with several eggs. I ordered tea and was presented with several teas in glass tubes , a nice way to present the selections available. Service was outstanding. Our server was very attentive and coffee refills were offered often. The manager stopped by to check in on us! By the time we left, the line was out the door! We will return to try some of their options. read more

I've gone to this specific egg harbor a bunch because I live right by it. It's super cute in there, AND the food is consistently good. But what made me write a review, was how kind the host was. I just had to run in there for a bandaid because my boyfriend fell and cut his hand, and the host, an older gentleman went and got some for me no questions asked. I'm so thankful. Thank you guys! read more

Excellent food at reasonable prices and awesome service! The Swedish pancakes are just delicious. I highly recommend the Egg House‼

The egg house staff made this whole experience a great one. The place had its own character/ charm. Our waiter ( forgive me I've forgotten his name.) greeted us with a smile and a very bubbly personality. I ordered the steak and eggs quite honestly I expected the steak to be over cooked as I like it rare, but it came just as I ordered. My wife had the eggs Benedict, the portion to price is overwhelmingly pleasing. Our friends were equally impressed as this was all of our first time there. The whole experience was so awesome! We'll definitely be back! read more

We enjoyed the fresh ambiance and great service at the Egg House. The omelet was huge, I could only eat 1/2. It came with choice of biscuit and sausage gravy or toast and hash brown or fruit. Corn beef hash was very good, not greasy. The fluffy eggs were perfectly cooked. The sausage gravy was good but not great. Overall we would come back to continue to try new items. They have an extensive menu and everything we saw come out of the kitchen looked amazing. The manager even checked in with us to see if we needed anything. read more

Do you know what I like to start my morning with? A cup of coffee with a spot of something left over from the person that used it before me. I then like to follow it up with an atmosphere of a German Beer Hall because I learned it was a 2 yr old siblings birthday because that sat that close to me. The food is delicious, if you like your bacon to hang off the side of the plate and slather the cleaning agents of the table while the plate is being placed. Oh and if you like your sausages cooked on the outside and tender raw on the inside you found your spot! If you also like ordering and getting something else even better!! Ordered 2/2/2 and got a 4/2/3?!? For all of the above be prepared to pay $15-17 for a 2/2/2 (eggs/bacon/pancakes) because that price is worth it when you get a rolled paper towel for a napkin. Seriously whoever owns this place stop listening to the "consultant" that sold you on high price, Sysco generic provided food stuff in which your whole profit model is high turnover and stuff as many as you can in. The table we sat at with the plates, various bits (creamer, syrup, etc) was so jammed you couldn't put a phone down. read more
