Egg Karne

Stopped at Makers Union in Reston on a rainy Sunday afternoon after taking our dog to the dog park…read more We sat outside on the patio with Onyx, and our server Kenny was great. When the rain started becoming an issue, he actually moved the umbrellas together to make sure Onyx had a dry spot. Really appreciated that. We started with a Bourbon Club and the Nitro Espresso Martini, then got the buffalo wings and she-crab soup. The wings can be grilled or fried and we went grilled, which was definitely the right call. Good char on them and I'd get them the same way again. The she-crab soup was also really good and perfect for a rainy afternoon. For lunch we had the French dip and the Reuben, and subbed the mac and cheese for one of the sides. Both sandwiches were solid, but the mac and cheese deserves a mention of its own. Definitely worth the substitution. Good food, good drinks, and especially good service from Kenny. Being able to hang out on the patio with our dog without the rain ruining lunch made the whole experience even better.

First time at Makers Union and it definitely didn't disappoint! Great atmosphere for a date night,…read moregroup gathering, or family dinner (like we did). We had Mackenzie as our server and immediately connected because she's a foodie like me. At her suggestion, I got the Grilled Chicken Sandwich but swapped the grilled chicken for fried. She had me at bacon. I mean, what doesn't go well with bacon? The chicken was crispy without being greasy and all the flavors just worked. My son had the chicken and waffles. Chicken was perfectly crispy, although the batter was a little sweeter than I prefer. I'm more of a Southern, savory fried chicken person. We asked for hot sauce to add to the maple syrup and Mackenzie upped it by bringing us hot honey instead. YES! Makers Union, add that to the menu. Promise you, it'll be a hit. You can thank Mackenzie for that one! Hubby had the fish and chips. His first reaction was, "Is that all?" Turns out, it was more than enough and really flavorful. The food was great, but honestly, Mackenzie made the experience. When your server understands food AND is a great people person, that's a winning combination. Great first visit and we'll definitely be back!

SERVICE: First time we just walk in and they couldn't sit us for about 20min, each time telling to wait and do not leave. What could be easily solved by getting us on wait list with time approximation. Next time we decided to avoid trouble and booked few days in advance, just to realize that reservation actually not getting you a table We came on time and were asked to wait. Fine, no problems. After 30 min standing outside( because people were coming and leaving) we came in and asked about our table, confused hostess was trying to find reservation again, after she completed the task we were asked to wait.... Then they lead us to a table with strangers and only 2 free sits( we were party of 4)To cut the struggle I said that there are few free tables outside and we are fine to stay there, and finely were settled. The waitress brought us menus and we haven't seen her for the next 20 min... FOOD: the choice is not very wide, but there are some interesting options. Unfortunately not everything we tried there got a picture as it took time and few visits to write this review. Overall, food is good. AMBIANCE: modern interior design, big bar with variety of cocktails and draft beer.

I visited Egg Karne today for breakfast, and it was an absolutely delightful experience. The restaurant itself is spacious and inviting, with a beautiful view overlooking the golf course. The ambiance was perfect, with great music playing that added to the enjoyable atmosphere. My server, Ana, was incredibly attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly. She made sure we had everything I needed and provided excellent recommendations. Her warm hospitality really elevated the dining experience. As for the food, it was simply outstanding. I ordered the Adobo Pork Belly Egg and Cheese Bowl, and it was an explosion of flavors in every bite. The pork belly was cooked to perfection, tender and bursting with the rich adobo seasoning. The eggs were perfectly prepared, and the combination of flavors was truly delightful. The coffee was also top-notch, rich and aromatic, complementing the meal perfectly. Overall, Egg Karne exceeded my expectations in every way. The spacious setting, attentive service from Ana, delicious food, and great coffee made for a truly memorable breakfast. I highly recommend Egg Karne to anyone seeking a fantastic dining experience. It's a must-visit spot! read more

Surprised that of all locations, this place was on a golf course so don't think you missed an exit somewhere as you pull into the parking lot. For a Filipino fusion place, EK has a variety of menu options that put a good modern twist to classic Filipino dishes as well as serving traditional food. My favorite was the Longanisa Silog Breakfast Bowl - the longanisa was cooked well and the garlic fried rice had a good ratio balance between the garlic and the rice, tasted like how my relatives in the Philippines would make it! The Ube Waffle was good and not overly sweet. It was different seeing ube in a waffle form when it's usually served as a drink or as ice cream for dessert. Lastly, the Arroz Caldo Balls tasted just like the original soup form and a great representation of Filipino fusion. read more

The Filipino cuisine at this golf course restaurant has some appealing elements, although other options nearby may be more satisfying. The Longanisa sandwich and the Silog were both enjoyable and met expectations. However, the ube waffle could benefit from more moisture and a stronger ube flavor. A standout item was the Spam Fries, which were crispy and made with less salty Spam--a delightful treat. While the restaurant does not serve coffee drinks, a selection of canned beverages, spirits, and beers is available. The atmosphere is clean and welcoming, with TVs and a pleasant golf course view. read more

A quick review of EK's social media convinced me to try the Ube Waffles but, upon arrival, I ended up going with one of their signature egg sandwiches. After much internal debate I went with the longanisa- a type of Filipino sausage I had not tried previously. The fluffy brioche bun sandwiched longanisa, cheese, and a perfectly cooked egg along with Karne sauce- not sure what makes up Karne sauce but it's delicious! I also got the lumpia because lumpia. So good and perfectly cooked. I'll definitely be back to try more sandwiches and the Ube Waffles everyone raves about. read more

Every time we've attempted to eat here on a reservation, they've had issues. Never set up and ready to seat us. Never prepared upon opening... and it's never busy when they first open which is why we always go early. But, they are NEVER ready to seat us. What's the use of making a reservation a week in advance if you're not going to be ready to seat the party nor accommodate the request? How would you like to find out at the last minute that they're going to split up your party at two different tables on two different sides of the restaurant because they weren't prepared when you gave them a week's notice via reservation? The food isn't that good to have to keep going through the challenge of being seated every time we make a reservation for a group. They're really pricey, too. So, certainly not worth this chronic headache. There are PLENTY of other places in the Town Center or in Herndon/Reston in general where you can get a tasty meal, not drop a day's pay, and have your entire party served well together. The taco joint across the street is definitely a more pleasant experience, for example, and I would certainly recommend bartaco...give them a try instead for a fun environment and some good eats.

I decided to give Super Chicken a try when in need of a quick lunch close to home. I opted for the half chicken combo with a side of black beans and plantains. My food was ready well under the quoted 25-30 minute pickup time. I found the food here so-so. The white meat ran a little dry. The chicken itself had a nicely seasoned skin, but the meat underneath tasted muted without any spice notes. Charcoal cooked birds usually have a hint of flavor from the coals, but the rendition here lacked any discernible smoke. The sides tasted as expected. The black beans were bland, but at least were creamy and well cooked. I have no issues with the well fried and perfectly sweet plantains. The sauces here are on par with area competitors, though the staff here are unusually stingy with extra container requests. Overall, while my meal was fine there was nothing "super" about Super Chicken compelling enough to merit a return visit besides proximity. Superior charcoal chicken is easily available elsewhere nearby.
