Avocado Breakfast Burrito...fresh and paired with potatoes...
Raymond K.

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

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!

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.

Denver Omelette and biscuits with gravy
Jeff M.

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.

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.

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!

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!

French Toast

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!

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 )

OK, we have downgraded it by a star and haven't visited recently because there was a server we…read morereally don't like (and I think they don't like us either), and there's no way to avoid them (don't know when they work and whether we would get assigned to them when we arrive. I won't get into the details but this staff kind of gives us attitude and questions our choices and also gets our orders wrong even tho we always order the same things. They just don't seem like they want to be there, and it is just a bit off putting. Having said that, we do occasionally still stop by. We have ventured out to try stuff that's NOT waffles. The kids liked the small quesadillas i think-- not greasy and nice plain flavors, easy to please the kids. My oldest really liked the tuna melt and it was good, and generous portions. Easy to split with the other kids. The ironman in comparison is so tiny and not worth the price-- which is really just paying for the "health" aspect of it. I get it. Overall, the foods are still really good, we just don't really like having to gamble with who our server is that day!

Corned Beef Hash & Eggs: I get the corned beef well done, with scrambled hard eggs. The tater tots…read moreare a solid side. Everything's been consistently good, and the portion size is generous. 8.5/10 Eggs Benedict: Pretty classic, nothing unexpected, but done really well. The sauce ties it all together nicely. 8.5/10 Cinnamon Roll Pancake: Really good. I've tried the s'mores before, but this one is better, more flavor and just hits right. 9/10 Service: Always great. Orders come out right every time. This is my go-to breakfast spot. 10/10
