This place is amazing and only the real know it. I don't care about your mom's cooking I only care about egg river. The people amazing, the food amazing, the vibe amazing. I would hate keep this place but I've been doing for 2+ years already but they deserve this review too! read more

We were visiting a wedding venue viewing on Sunday & was looking for a place for breakfast while we wait for the viewing to occur & chose this place. I am saddened to say I don't remember coming here several years back - per my husband- but I can say I won't forget again. This place is an absolute gem! Luckily we got there early (opens at 0600 - got there around 0800) because after we sat down, it had a constant flow of traffic. Our party of 5 was sat quickly & order taken just as fast. In Oregon, they can't serve alcohol until after 0700 and when I saw their mimosa options I was get happy. I went with the standard mimosa while my husband went for the dole whip option. They were both excellent & priced well. We split the special eggs Benedict which had great flavor& presentation but the egg was over done which was slightly disheartening. I got a side of bacon to go (for my puppies) and cinnamon roll to go as well. I was full but couldn't go without it ! It didn't disappoint and sure would have been better if eaten there directly. Overall the menu is expansive and I will be back to try more options! If in the area, I would highly recommend stopping & giving it a shot read more

Delicious food!! Sometimes there's a wait but it's always worth it, they have redone the menu a few years ago and all the new dishes are fantastic read more

Egg River Cafe - Pork belly in tomatillo sauce with chile relleno omelette, mole and avocado - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Hood River, Oregon

Egg River Cafe was fantastic! I was expecting standard diner fare based from when I walked in, but I was pleasantly surprised by the menu options. Of course they have the typical pancakes, omelets, etc. I was impressed by the breakfast tacos, burritos, and the garlic & brie egg breakfast. My group ordered all of those items collectively. The chile relleno breakfast tacos were a sight to behold. They were stuffed and difficult to eat with my hands, but the flavor was incredible and the hot sauce on the side was actually hot. I tried a bite of the chorizo burrito as well and it was also delicious! Would definitely come back here if I am ever in Hood River again. read more

The salmon avocado toast was great. I like the coffee. Also, the server was fantastic!

Service was great! The food was delicious and great portions! My husband and I like to share an entree as our appetites are smaller these days and this was perfect for that. We ordered a bowl of fruit which was exceptionally small for the price, but it tasted delicious! The chicken theme throughout the restaurant was very cute! read more

Wowowow!!! Food was great! Had the shrimp tacos, chicken pot pie, and the curry shrimp salad. Shrimp tacos were huge and flavorful, spicy and creamy. Pot pie was amazing! They use puff pastry top and a yummy creamy inside. The salad was absolutely out of this world. Defiantly recommend it with the pesto dressing. 10/10 recommend this place! read more

Excellent comfort food with a cozy vibe I came here solo on a Sunday around 11 am, so it was packed, but the staff did a great job keeping up. The bartender was knowledgeable and thorough, which was much appreciated! read more

Egg River Cafe - mimosa special - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Hood River, Oregon

Any decent breakfast spot is guaranteed to be crowded on a weekend in Hood River, and Egg River, due to its proximity to downtown, is definitely on that list. Still our wait wasn't terribly long, and was worth it. My Chile Relleno breakfast tacos were an absolute flavor bomb, with the chorizo stuffed peppers playing off the mole rojo like long lost friends, smoky with just the right amount of heat. Nice portion size, too. As you probably guessed, you can get almost any egg-influenced dish you can think of here, from scrambles to omelets to Benedict's and beyond, and it all looked so good coming out of the kitchen (we were sitting right by it). The place is definitely cozy inside, like a small cabin with a diner vibe, with a bunch of wooden tables and booths scattered throughout and kitschy signs and tchotchkes tucked into the corners, but it is definitely cheery. As I mentioned, it gets pretty crowded on weekends and parking is tight, so get there early. Despite the hubbub, our server was efficient and friendly, so there's a very good chance we'll be back. Count me as a happy customer. read more

Egg River Cafe - Chile Relleno Breakfast Tacos were so worth the wait. 5 stars for the mole alone. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Hood River, Oregon

Great food and service. All the fives meals we ordered were great. My burger was the size of my daughter's head and juicy.

The food was absolutely delicious! Best chicken and waffles ever. Artichoke and brie omelette had the most amazing flavor! Unfortunately, the service was none existent once we got our food. No one came to check to see if things were ok until they gave us our check. Tried to flag down server for more coffee as she was walking by with coffee pot in her hand after refilling another table. They were busy for a Friday morning but this was unacceptable. Would recommend going but don't expect much service. read more

Average diner. French toast Average. $3 scrambled egg uninspired. Scrambled needed flavor so requested salsa. Offered two kinds and settled on Pico de gallo. Server (on her own) went ahead and brought the other one too. When we got the bill were not only surprised to see $1.50 for the pico (no mention of an additional charge) but also the salsa the server brought on her on. Complained to staff. One said they would remove it but the male waiter said no. Inflation!! So, we took it of his tip. Principle!! Definitely enjoyed Bette's Place much better!! read more

Egg River Cafe - Keep driving!! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Hood River, Oregon

Absolutely amazing food and super attentive service in a fun restaurant with a view of Mt Adams in the distance. Food was superb and I highly recommend giving them a try for breakfast. I had the veggie Benedict with avocado with perfect poached eggs. My husband had the chili rellenos tacos which were out-of-this-world scrumptious. Seating inside or out. Parking available also across the street. read more

Egg River Cafe - Bloody Hangover - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Hood River, Oregon

Plenty of parking in a lot across the street and pleasant staff. I'm sure the breakfast experience is amazing but I ended up here in the evening. Food was ok but ordered a slice of marionberry pie and was given strawberry rhubarb. When I pointed it out to our waitress, her exact response was "But the cook said it was marionberry." Not the end of the world, but definitely annoying as it was not what I ordered and also didn't taste good. read more

Egg River Cafe - Definitely not marionberry pie - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Hood River, Oregon

Egg River is a classic brunch spot. My friends and I arrived around 8:30 on a Sunday, the place was busy but we sat down quickly. Most of the staff is quite young about high school age, they were all friendly and attentive. The menu does include gluten free toast, but the items are not clearly labeled if they are gluten free or not. FYI, if you are gluten sensitive, stay away from county gravy as this is typically not gluten free. The restaurant has homey decoration like you would see at your grandmas house. The food was just alright. The orange juice was a bit watery and not very flavorful. I ordered a vegetable scramble and was pretty underwhelmed with the dish. Not a ton of flavor. Good portion size. My partner ordered the sopes that they had for a breakfast special, he enjoyed his dish. We were a little confused by the random chicken wing in the center of the plate. Overall pretty decent breakfast spot. read more

Wow, I need to get the words out before the sweet smoky flavor of the mole leaves my being. This place has the best breakfast I have ever eaten. This glorious dish was Chile Relleno tacos! Started with soft homemade corn tortillas, (if you want flour you don't deserve to eat this dish)sweet potatoes, chiles, cheese, pico, perfectly cooked runny yolk egg, topped with mole, queso fresco and avocado. Spicy salsa on the side. if you want something different for breakfast, you owe it to yourself to give this a try. Be forewarned you may need a shower afterwards for multiple reasons (no negative reasons though, only good vibes and a clean restaurant here) Thank you Egg River Cafe for concocting the most miraculous breakfast dish that has ever brushed my ohh sooo tender lips. I will be back. read more

Always a great experience when we're in town for the weekend. Good food and great servers.

Cozy, warm and very enjoyable brunch spot in Hood River. This is my 2nd time here and I just want to keep coming back. I had the Reuben sandwich as my first meal here and it was amazing. I remember the sandwich just melting in my mouth and the house potatoes we on a skillet with grilled veggies (sort of a Tex-mex grill). Overall very delicious. This time, today, I ordered the salmon avocado toast with a chai tea latte, and it was pretty much the same experience. Very delicious and a melt in your mouth experience with the poached egg. Highly recommended and I will definitely be coming back:) read more

I was hoping this place is going to be exceptionally good! The location, the name and the outside store marketing I thought was great! Perhaps we caught the hostess on not a great day but she wasn't very friendly. The place was busy, but not busy enough to, forget few things we asked for. The food overall was ok. I was really excited to try this place while in town, but I have to say it was one of my least favorite. read more

Go down oak Street to this gem. It's not far from downtown. The house speciality short rib hash is a country breakfast lovers dream. The rellano breakfast tacos are great. Good layers of fun ingredients. The orange sauce on the side is spicy. Look out! Coffee was good. The place can get busy so if you can't park in front of the place or directly across the street, you have to drive up and park on the street by the church. read more

Ever since egg river changed hands, it's just not as good. The service is very slow and impersonal and the quality of the meals have declined. As an example this morning, my bacon was cooked perfectly, yet my hash browns were over cooked, again, my over medium eggs were barely cooked, and my biscuit was bland and doughy. Also, prices remain sky high. read more

Phenomenal food. This is now a must anytime I'm traveling through hood river. Highly recommend. read more

In a town that values local food and sustainable practices this places doesn't fit in. You have to pay extra for organic eggs. While the service was decent, the food earned this review a very low rating. Here, microgreens meant chopped up curly kale. The salmon for my toast lie on a piece of lettuce that looked a week old or more. The chili rellenos tacos had a human hair in it. I left grossed out and wish I went elsewhere. read more

I do not have enough words to express how much my family loves this place. There is a homey vibe from the moment you step into the place and the servers are the best! We drive here at least twice a year from Portland just to eat. The food is always fresh. Every bite is delicious and the menu is great. Totally worth coming here. read more

Hangover burger and fried chicken waffles were excellently done! Definitely recommended spot.

The food is always farm to table and fresh. Service is good and so were the biscuits and gravy. The Florentine eggs were delicious too. My friend got the eggs Benedict and she loved them. They looked really good too and the eggs were perfectly done. We always try to go here when we are in town. I will be back again. Oh I forgot to say that the bloody Mary's are top notch.. You cannot go wrong here. Try it and you will not be dissatisfied. read more

Good breakfast place, nice staff. It's popular for a reason- they do a good job and it's a pleasant way to start your day.

Very disappointed today. Didn't know egg river had changed hands as I see in a post below. I placed an order only to receive that order and have the expectation it would be right. Upon getting to my destination I checked and found I did not have what I asked for. When I called to discuss I was told that is what you ordered. Totally disappointed. read more

Service was not good, and the food was mediocre. Waited over an hour before being told they were short handed. Signature breakfast dish featuring brisket was ok, but the brisket was so dry that it was inedible! Not the same breakfast spot that I remember, very inexperienced staff and very expensive! read more

My wife and I were on vacation and were looking for a breakfast spot. While heading to another, she spotted Egg River and wanted to try it. So glad she did. This place has amazingly good omelets. And, the hasbrowns were crispy and not soaked in butter. Finally, the server was on it AND he had a good personality. I'm sure that Hood River has other worthy breakfast spots, but Egg River really impressed us! read more

Nice little, see the photos, place for breakfast and lunch. Right in the middle of a residential neighborhood, on Oak Ava, a major Hood River road. Parking is just about non-existent, although across the street there is some space. Prepare to wait as it is popular and, again, is small. But it is cozy and the very experienced wait staff know what they are doing, and do it fast. Menu is pretty much American standard breakfast items and sandwiches for lunch. Specials daily. A little touch of Mexico with burritos, chorizo, Mexican burrito breakfast, Huevos Rancheros, Chile Relleno Breakfast Tacos and Chicken Chilaquiles and Eggs. Some unusual items include: Artichoke Brie Omelet, Country Short Rib Hash, Apple Pancakes, Polish Sausage Scramble, Cinnamon Roll French Toast, Smoked Salmon Burrito and regular stuff like oatmeal, scrambles, waffles and pancakes and made to order items that you concoct. Try to come early or other then at prime breakfast and lunch times. Worth an effort. read more

Great food, service and vibe. Def looking forward to going back again. Very large quantities.

Parking: There are about 5 parking spots in front of the restaurant, and then there are 10 spots in the lot across the street. We were lucky enough to get one of them, otherwise I don't know where people park. The wait: We arrived around 9:30am on a Saturday morning and went inside to put our name on the list. We were told the wait would be around 20mins but it ended up being wait was around 30-40mins. COVID-19: They were only allowed to have 40 diners inside, so there were some empty tables but they couldn't let more people inside. You were required to wear masks to enter. Food: Everything on the menu looked yummy! All the plates were huge! We got egg skillets which were so large I could barely eat half of one. The veggie benedict was also delicious! Would recommend! read more
