So I had to find a new Italian deli in the area and this place had an authentic Italian sub on the menu with prosciutto, Genoa salami, capicola, provolone cheese, Italian dressing, lettuce and tomato that I added raw onions, hot giardiniera and mayo. It's a deli/mini mart/gambling machine/cafe with friendly service. The meats were skimpy was my first thought, see my pictures. My first thought after taking the first bite was WOW this Italian hoagie bread was perfect/fresh with that great chew/pull. Even with the skimpy meat the whole combination with me tweaking the sandwich was so fu#king delicious I got a second one to take back to WI for dinner. The area probably has a better Italian deli the residents will tell you but I'm in town once a year so next year I will try another Italian deli until I find one to start a new tradition like my old friend for many years that is no more. My final thought is that the price point is similar to the chain sub restaurants with a high quality sub sandwich and why anyone in the area that goes to a chain with this gem is beyond me because they do an authentic Italian sub very well.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Egg House with my family to celebrate a special occasion, and I must say, it was an eggstraordinary experience! From the moment we stepped inside, we were greeted with warm hospitality and a charming atmosphere that set the tone for a delightful morning. The menu at Egg House offers a variety of mouthwatering options, making it a challenge to choose just one. However, I can confidently say that each dish we tried surpassed our expectations. The star of the show was undoubtedly their signature Eggs Benedict. The perfectly poached eggs nestled atop fluffy English muffins, accompanied by a rich and velvety hollandaise sauce, were a symphony of flavors that left us craving more. The combination of the eggs, Canadian bacon, and buttery muffins was simply divine. It was truly a breakfast masterpiece! In addition to their Eggs Benedict, the menu at Egg House is filled with other tempting choices. The omelets were beautifully crafted, bursting with a medley of fresh ingredients, and cooked to perfection. The pancakes were light and fluffy, with just the right amount of sweetness. And let's not forget about the delightful French toast, which was a heavenly blend of soft bread soaked in a delectable custard and topped with a generous sprinkling of powdered sugar. What made our visit even more memorable was the attentive and friendly staff. They went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and satisfaction throughout our meal. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu, offering helpful suggestions and making sure all our dietary preferences were accommodated. The service was prompt, and our drinks were constantly refilled with a smile. The ambiance at Egg House is cozy and inviting, with a charming rustic decor that adds to the overall dining experience. The seating arrangements were comfortable, and the atmosphere was bustling yet relaxed. The restaurant exudes a sense of warmth and homeliness that makes you feel right at home. Overall, Egg House exceeded our expectations on every level. It provided a memorable dining experience for our special occasion, leaving us with wonderful memories and satisfied taste buds. I highly recommend Egg House to anyone in search of a breakfast haven that offers exceptional dishes, warm hospitality, and a charming atmosphere. This place is truly an eggstraordinary gem! read more

Been here before, but first time bringing a crowd -- a group of 11 on a Sunday morning. Luckily they take reservations and surprisingly called that morning to confirm. That was appreciated! Service was warm and attentive throughout. We had a couple of servers working our large group, and they handled it well. Several of us drink decaf, and without much fuss, a fresh pot was started -- a small thing that made a big impression. The one hiccup was with the bus staff -- we had to ask three or four times for extra place settings. Small thing, but worth mentioning. I ordered the avocado omelet with added mushrooms, plus a side of pancakes and a fruit cup in place of potatoes. The omelet was generously sized -- I could only finish half -- and packed with avocado, bacon, (I added mushroom), and melty mozzarella. Not greasy, not heavy, just really satisfying. The pancakes were a highlight too: lightly sweet, fluffy and soft with perfectly crispy edges. I also got to steal a taste of the corned beef hash from someone at our table, and now I'm already planning my next visit just to order it. It was cooked beautifully and seasoned just right -- nicely salted without going overboard the way many places do. Around the table, the chicken fried steak was a hit, and the chicken and waffle was completely demolished by a teenager in our group -- which honestly says everything. From what I saw, it was an impressive plate: a full waffle cut in half, topped with a piece of fried chicken to match, layered with bacon, and served with a smoky aioli. The only minor note was that a couple of people found the sausage patty in the Hungryman's Breakfast a bit dry and overcooked -- but that was the lone grumble out of 11 people. One practical note for first-timers: parking is on the smaller side for a restaurant this size. There's a sign mentioning additional parking on the other side of a fence, but no clear directions on which street to use to access it. We happened to visit while St. Charles Road was closed for a festival, which made things trickier -- but luckily found street parking across Main Street. Not a dealbreaker, but worth knowing ahead of time, especially on a busy weekend morning. We will absolutely be back -- again and again. read more

I agree with the other reviewer (Drew) - this is a big improvement over what was in the space previously! We held off on trying this place because we needed gluten free options for an intolerant family member and weren't sure if there were any options available at Egg House, but happily we just recently discovered that they do now offer gluten free toast and pancakes so we finally took the plunge. Service was very fast - the order was packed up and ready to go once my husband arrived, and they were COVID-safe. I ordered the corned beef hash skillet - I'm very picky when it comes to corned beef hash, and you can tell this place does it from scratch; it was one of the best corned beef hashes I've ever had from a restaurant. My husband got the country fried steak, which he loved; I'm not usually a country fried steak fan, but even I had to admit the piece I tried was really good. My gluten intolerant family member thoroughly enjoyed his gluten free chocolate chip pancakes. My only very slight complaint is that the portions were HUGE (my husband and I each got four(!) eggs with our meal!) which wasn't necessarily a bad thing since they will make great leftovers and means we got great bang for our buck. Love that this place is so close to our house, and is a wonderful addition to North Lombard. If you're looking for a new breakfast place, try them out - you won't be disappointed. read more

I recently visited egg house, and it was an unforgettable experience! The atmosphere was cozy yet vibrant, with a fun and quirky egg theme that made the space so inviting. From the moment I walked in, the staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, ensuring everything was perfect throughout my visit. The menu was an absolute delight, offering a creative range of egg-based dishes. I tried the avocado omelette with bacon and the meat lover skillet, and both were beyond delicious! The eggs were cooked to perfection, and the flavors were balanced and unique. The portions were generous, and everything was fresh, from the ingredients to the presentation. I highly recommend egg house to anyone looking for a great meal, a cheerful ambiance, and a unique dining experience. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

Cons - I had the misfortune of being employed by the Egg House for several months in which I experienced harassment and verbal threats by two of the managers. Racism is a big issue, particularly with one of the male managers. Not only was he racist towards me, but also towards customers when they were not within earshot. Working an 8 hour shift at the Egg House does not include breaks, not even the legally required 15 mins. I would never recommend anyone else to seek employment with the Egg House. Pros - Excellent food. The head chef and owner is kind, hard-working and fair. Customer base is excellent and well mannered. I would highly recommend a change in management. This would greatly improve the employee's moods and desire to go to work everyday without feeling threatened or harassed. read more

We met Frank the owner, who had a lot in common with my dad. Both Italian, from Taylor Street, went to Notre Dame and Saint Phillips ... just 20 years apart. It was a good conversation and a pleasure to meet him. Our server was Roge and again, we engaged in conversation. Nice guy, good server and attentive. I started with a decaf cappuccino, which was served with a little biscotti. Nice touch! Hubby ordered the Chilaquiles. A huge plate of tortilla chips tossed in salsa roja with a couple eggs, red onion, avocado, cilantro, queso fresco and topped with sour cream. This definitely is an item that can be shared by two. I ordered the Healthy Sunnyside skillet. Turkey sausage, potatoes, spinach, avocado, oven roasted tomato, mushroom and pepper jack cheese topped with egg whites. So good! This restaurant serves up breakfast and lunch. It has a bar area and the bathrooms are decorated so cute, too. I'll definitely be returning to Sunnyside Social again - and again.

There's no caviar or truffles here. Instead, if you like a classic breakfasts, like you ate when you were a child, put on your way-back shoes; and try this place. They make their own corned beef hash and serve it in a myriad of variations. I prefer the 2+2+2+2. Two tender golden pancakes, two eggs basted, two strips of bacon and two sausages. I dont like the sausages but offer them to the others and woof they're gone. Is this a fancy place with 'ambiance', ummm... no. Are my eggs basted, by ladling hot bacon grease over them, like how my mother made them; no - that would be too much to ask. My Mom used to make corned beef and cabbage for dinner the night before, then make corned beef hash the next morning.

The menu has everything you can imagine for breakfast- omelets, eggs Benedict (the original and variations of it), varieties of pancakes & French toast, skillets, and lunch offerings (wraps, sandwiches, burgers, salads). We went twice. My first time, I got a skillet with eggs over easy over skirt steak, potatoes, peppers, and tomatoes, and it came with your choice of pancakes or French toast. I got pancakes. I couldn't get over how tender and flavorful the steak was because it was cut up in bite-sized pieces. I was given a choice of salsa, and I chose the green one (Yum!), The pancakes were sooo good and fluffy; I didn't need syrup. I also got hot tea. It comes in a cute clear teapot so you can see if the tea has steeped long enough for a couple of cups. They also have little bottles of honey. The second time we went, I got a senior omelet, which included four add-ins (I got onions, mushrooms, Swiss cheese, and avocado). It was the size of a small football. I had my choice of hash browns or fresh fruit and pancakes or French toast. I got hash browns cooked perfectly and French toast this time. I so wish this restaurant was closer to home because both times it was sooo good and because there were so many things I wanted to try! The service is wonderful. You are greeted right away when you walk in, and when you are seated, they bring you ice water. Service is quick no matter how busy they are, and they check on you frequently. It is very comfortable seating; chairs and booths are all padded. The restaurant and bathrooms are very clean. Make sure you visit one of their restaurants while you are in the suburbs of Chicago.

Service was fairly quick and friendly. Parking is plentiful nearby, though it's a bit of a challenge to park next to the building both because of limited spots and narrow alleys. The menu is quite expansive, with options that are a bit different than what you typically expect, and the prices are fair. For someone who goes to a minimum of one or more brunches per week, the drink and food menus here drew me to the restaurant. After a while, a lot of menus look very similar with the same generic offerings of the standard pancake, waffle, omelet, and waffle options. This spot has a lot of fun options such as avocado steak toast, barbacoa skillet, churro hawaiian bread french toast, biscuit bombs and more. Even on more common options, they generally carry a wide range of flavor profiles from fruits to chocolate to nuts and more. Similarly, drinks include mimosas, champagne, cocktails, wine, spritzers, beer, juices, milks, coffees, teas, and more -- with tons of customization options. I'm a huge fan of this since it allows me to come back here with friends and not get bored of trying different things. The prices are also very fair for the higher quality products they serve. The food overall was impressive as well. I found the hash skillet to be flavorful with corn beef that wasn't too salty and quite tender. The best part was probably the potatoes that were seasoned to perfection and absorbed the flavors of the onion and pepper well, with a slightly crispy edge. The normal pancakes were super fluffy and quite thick. The pumpkin pancakes were a great combination with a delicious cream cheese frosting and a mix of dried cranberries, walnuts, and pumpkin pie sauce that was flavorful and addictive. This didn't need any additional syrup. The pumpkin roll french toast was equally as impressive where the toast was just a little crispy and the cream cheese frosting was a bit gooey. This was quite a fun mix of textures also with delicious sugared pecans and pumpkin pie drizzle. Overall, delicious food and great options make this a spot I'm sure to return to anytime I'm in the area.

That I finally visited this place was part of a very special series of moments. I basically hated high school, (JSMorton East-Cicero, IL) but not for the reasons you might expect. Mostly boring teachers and stultifying curriculum. I couldn't wait to get out of there so I could continue with my education. There were bright spots, though. One was my sophomore English Teacher Gus Jackson. Erudite, witty, respectful, and in tune. He allowed us to be smart-asses in class as long as it was based in dignified wit. And we actually LEARNED SHIT because of him. What a concept! A brilliant man, whom I never forgot. I attempted to keep in touch with him but after a while he was lost in the sea of moving experience like so many bittersweet factions of our lives. Imagine my surprise when he recently appeared in the "meet and greet" line at one of our concerts 53 years after my graduation. To say I was stunned is woefully inadequate. I jumped up, tearfully, sped around the table to give him the warmest embrace of genuine admiration and respect I could muster. I saw in his beguiling smile and expressive eyes he was glad to see me too! He said he saw my name in the local paper in an article about our appearance, and decided to come to the show. We made plans to have breakfast, and Gus selected this place. They could have put Purina Kibble and flat Coke out to eat and drink and I would have been overjoyed, just to sit and reminisce with my old friend. But the food was GREAT. I had a Greek Omelette which was total yum, and the Coffee was superior. And I'm not being kind just because of the reunion. I would have thrown 4 stars for this place in any case.

Not sure why their coffee smells so bad, but I often dump it out, as it stinks up my car and leaves a bad taste in your mouth. I suppose their prices are still reasonable, but not the value they once were.
