Very aptly named restaurant for a brunch place. Didn't have to wait too long when we went. Service was quick and nice, and had a nice 'industrial" vibe to it. Ordered the Chakchouka and Pork Belly Benedict. Chakchouka had a rich, slow-cooked tomato base with just the right amount of spice, and the eggs were perfectly poached. It was the right amount of runny without being undercooked. The Pork Belly Benedict was the good, but maybe slightly under-delivered based on my expectations. The pork had nice crispy layers, but I think it was slightly under-seasoned from my end. The hollandiase added some flavor, but I think overall, the flavors were not very dynamic. Portions were decent size, and the potatoes were decent. You have to eat the potatoes fast though, because no matter how you cook them, they'll turn soft fast. Overall, decent brunch place. 4/5 stars
EGG RESTAURANT AT MIDTOWN is located off the former fashion district of Locust Street, where there's metered street parking. I brought my dad here for brunch after we had a float therapy session across the street. I do not like how the entrance lends itself to bottlenecks as patrons come and go. It is very tight and nearly impossible to stand to wait for the host while being in exiting patrons' way. There are plants for sale within, which is kind of cool. Not sure if they were short-staffed on Juneteenth or if this was the norm, but there were only two servers interchanging between hosting, serving, and bartending. Thankfully, it was not super busy during our visit, but it did slow service down a bit. The booths do NOT have high walls, so the people who ended up seated behind us annoyed me their entire visit. It was hard to hear my dad speaking across the table to me because they were loud, and it carried big time with no barrier for a booth wall to block them. We started off with strawberry orange mimosas and immediately ordered our meal (dad got the traditional breakfast, and I got the barbacoa breakfast tacos and a side of bacon) because we were afraid our server would forget about us, which he almost did. My dad really enjoyed our mimosas. When the food came out, I was immediately blown away by how thick the bacon slices were and very happy about that. I ordered 2 tacos, but one would have been filling enough, so I did end up taking half my meal home. They use the portable ordering machines by Toast, so when it came to our bill, I trusted that he had our order correct and paid along with tip. He stops us on our way out and said he is sorry he ran my card for the cackling ladies behind our table. After a heavy sigh, forgiveness in my heart, and patience, I allowed him to correct it, which was still around the same amount, but it's the principle of being accurate. Overall, the food was great, but the service was off that day and definitely a stark contrast from my last visit in 2023.
My son is home for the holidays and we decided to have lunch here. I called before arriving because it's Xmas Eve and most places were closed today. The person who answered the phone was very nice and friendly and told us to come on in there no wait at this time. We were greeted at the door and seated promptly! I ordered the French toast and my son ordered the shrimp and grits. We both enjoyed our food and great conversation! The playlist was jamming! The decor is so cute and ecstatically pleasing!
I feel disrespected. I ordered a chicken sandwich from this location online and this is what I received. For one, when I selected chicken sandwich, I expected the standard fried chicken sandwich that most locations have, but this ended up being a shredded chicken sandwich which I could come to terms with, however there there was HARDLY any chicken on this sandwich at all! This was basically a BREAD SANDWICH with a splash of chicken. I could literally hold the entire amount of chicken on this sandwich pinched between my index finger and thumb without dropping a piece. This sandwich was so low effort that it felt like they just put together random ingredients that they had and served it. I'm incredibly disappointed and had I not been coming from out of town, I would have gone back up to the restaurant to complain.
Egg tops the charts for all things brunch in stl! I truly have never had anything here that I didn't like. The rest of STL definitely feels the same because it's never not busy here! I came with a large group right when they opened, and we were seated quickly! Dodging the wait is the way to go. They have a variety of drinks for brunch (alcoholic and non) as well as a large variety of food options- there is something for everyone. Today I went with a mimosa and the el cerdo hash which is amazing. It has the right amount of spice and is so filling. Always a pleasure, egg!
Street parking. Not bad for a Sunday brunch time. Used yelp waitlist but I'm not sure that was used. After a few minutes of waiting we were promptly seated. Service was good. Everyone was super friendly. Restaurant is smaller in size and tables are fairly close. There is also bar seating. Got the traditional breakfast and it was well done. One would expect it but that's not always the case. Eggs came out perfect. Potatoes were crispy and not dry. The bread was crispy yet soft. The sausage was well cooked, slightly bland for my taste. Overall it was a great breakfast and I can't wait to return to try the other options.
What a cute little place. I read the reviews on Yelp after my visit and was shocked to learn customer service has been declining. It's a small place and I can tell they could probably use more servers. We waited several minutes to be seated. It also took a while to place our order, however we used that time to talk. Overall, I loved my breakfast tacos! The French toast were pretty good as well. The center of the waffles were just a little doughy to me but I sure ate them. One thing to know about Egg is they offer unique dishes. If you're looking for a standard breakfast, skip this place. It's not for you.
I had previously been to the Benton Park Egg location but it has been a couple of years. Stopped in for brunch on a Sunday morning. I ordered a hot tea and the Barbacoa and Grits... Cheesy Stone-Ground Grits, Braised Beef & 2 Eggs Over Easy. This was absolutely delicious. The barbacoa was flavorful and tender. The grits were creamy. The eggs were perfectly cooked. I love this dish. I wish I went out for breakfast more often. My brunch date ordered the breakfast tacos. They looked fine but not as good as mine! Service was not the best but the food made up for it. I will be back!
Beautiful atmosphere and decor. Food was delicious and the alcohol isn't too bad. The waitress was very nice despite me being ditsy. Food didn't take very long. The prices are fine, wish they had a happy hour during the weekend but that's trivial. Would go back time and time again.
Had a great breakfast at Egg before I hit the road out of town! The vibe is cool in the up and coming midtown neighborhood, and the food and coffee both hit the spot. I tried the breakfast tacos, one veggie and one chicken. They were so tasty and had fresh ingredients and were each topped with flavorful salsas. They're gigantic, so I found it easier to eat half with a fork, then fold it up and eat it normally. Coffee was great; I had already caffeinated with espresso, so opted for a latte instead. The tumeric one sounded good, but the server had a sixth sense for my caffeine addiction and warned me it doesn't come with espresso inside. He steered me towards a honey cinnamon one instead that was five stars. It was a mellow weekday morning, so not bustling but also meant the server disappeared for a while. Nothing critical, but we were left waiting for the check so had to get up and ask. Each person that came by was friendly and helpful. All in all, I tried several spots on this block on a quick visit to STL, and Egg is one I'd definitely recommend trying out if you're in the area.
I've never seen eggs Benedict offered on cornbread, so I appreciated the creativity and unique offering. The smoked pork belly was also a delicious treat for brunch and a little bit different than the usual bacon or ham. The ambiance is a modern, trendy brunch space and very nice. Overall I'd definitely come back to Egg for brunch!

Excellent service and amazingly fresh and flavorful breakfast and cocktails. Enjoyed a great meal - everything was perfect! read more
We came on a Saturday and immediately got a table with no wait. All of our interactions with staff were super pleasant. Food: I got the mahi mahi cornbread eggs Benedict with potatoes and it was really good. My mahi mahi was unfortunately overcooked, but it was still a delicious dish. The cornbread as the base was super intriguing and brought a light sweetness to the savory dish. I really enjoyed it. The fresh orange juice was absolutely wonderful as well. My husband got pancakes and said they were really good as well. The vibes in the restaurant are more rustic, and I think the decor vibes well with the menu. We'll definitely be returning to try more of the menu out! read more

Visited some friends during New Years in St. Louis and this was one of the best places we found during! We walked in and chatted with who we assume was the owner. He was so funny and friendly, and gave us great recommendations based on our personal preferences. We must've just missed the brunch rush because we were able to get seated right away, but he told us they had been slammed all day, and we watched as their tables started to fill up again while we were there. This food was SO GOOD. The kind of food that you eat and makes you want to go take a nap before coming back to try something else. Between my boyfriend and I, we tried a few of the breakfast options and everything continued to impress. We had the CORNBREAD biscuits and gravy, a few breakfast tacos and a pork belly eggs benedict. This was a restaurant we found completely by chance (hehe thank you Yelp) and it is now in our rotation for anytime we're in the STL area. read more

Love decor and a bigger spot. We had chochuka which is made with semi baked eggs not runny but had a good spice which provided more flavor, tunisian hash and sopa were good with semolina pancakes. The shrimp snd grits were too runny which we didn't prefer. Kid friendly place read more
We joined the Yelp waitlist earlier today because it wasn't too long. When we got there, I mentioned we were on the waitlist and the guy seemed a little confused. He never really said anything about it, but did seat us within that time frame, so it was no issue. The only reason I mention it is because if you join their waitlist, I think you should also check with them, I don't think they actually participate in the waitlist. When I arrived, I was 10th in line, when I left, I was still 10th in line, and I just removed myself from the waitlist still in 10th spot hours later. So yeah, don't rely on the waitlist. Otherwise, the food and service was good. We had the pork belly cornbread, spinach and avocado, cornbread, and the standard breakfast. We also had an espresso martini and a white Russian. That's the only part that was kind of odd. Our server asked what we wanted in the white Russian. We were quite confused because a white Russian is a traditional drink that the bar should know how to make. It's literally just vodka, Kahlúa and milk. She was asking if we wanted sugar and all kinds of random things in it. When it came out, it was very frothy like they had whipped it or some thing weird and tasted like it had no vodka in it. I did enjoy the espresso martini though. Overall, a pretty salad breakfast place with delicious food and good service! read more

Amazing food. Great ownership!! So good we had to check out the other location the next morning. The service at both places was stellar. The owners are brothers and are both pretty cool humans. The younger brother served us directly and gave us 2 carnitas gratis. The ambience and the vibe was very cozy and my partner and I felt like primos aqui. Love love it! Best Breakfast!

My partner and I were looking to try a new place together, and we attempted to go to a diner not far away, on Grand Avenue. After 15 minutes of waiting and not being noticed by the hostess, we ditched and found ourselves at Egg. I'm so happy we did, because Egg was just lovely! The place was totally hopping and there was a 30 minute wait, we were told. We asked if we could sit at the bar, and were allowed to seat ourselves immediately! The bartender was super friendly and upbeat. Really, the energy of the whole place was just really fun and happy -- Beyonce was playing, the chatter was loud but not to the point that we had to raise our voices, and the wait staff all seemed cheerful. We ordered the standard breakfast, and I requested grits instead of potatoes. The bacon was really greasy and a bit thicker than I prefer, but my partner loved it-- it's all about personal preference. The toast was super fluffy and delicious. It came with raspberry jam; I hate raspberry, but again, I realize that's just a personal thing. The eggs and grits were great. I'd give this a 4.5 if I could, because it wasn't incredible...but it was good, and I would go back. The ambiance was the best part, I think. read more

Make sure you get the fresh squeezed orange juice! This orange juice was so good and fresh. I could've ordered it two more times at least. The menu was a little limited and I wish they did have a few more options but they were very options. I enjoyed my meal. I just wish I had more potatoes and a different sauce to add on top. It was a little difficult getting our waiters attention for more water, but they did constantly come around with coffee. I'd like the overall design and theme of the restaurant. It was very different and intriguing. The seats and tables were a little close together so I would say it's not too good for a big party. read more

What an awesome guy he is. I forgot to ask his name but he was very friendly and funny. The food was awesome as well as the mango-orange mimosa. The oranges were fresh squeezed. I am planning to return either tonight or tomorrow night. The eatery sits on a street with other small shops and bars including a cigar lounge. Most dont serve food but Egg serves breakfast in the morning and then again at night. read more

Very simple brunch options but the taste is very good. Their mimosa is very tasty perfect place to catch up with friends or family! The potato is a big yes for me I could eat them all the time. Location is pretty good with parking lot and staff is very friendly! Recommend!!! read more

We came for brunch. We arrived around 945 and only had a 15 minute wait. Service was fantastic. Everyone loved their meals. I had the taco with barbacoa. Flavor and spice level were great but it was hard to pick up and eat so I would probably skip it next time. I also had a sope with carnitas. It was also flavorful and delicious and something different than a usual brunch menu. Next time I'll try the French toast. It's a fun bustling scene and the music is great. Golden Gems is next door so don't forget to pop in after brunch or while you're waiting! read more

So this place was OK. The food honestly didn't have much seasoning and I don't have to come here again. It looks good but definitely pretty mid as the kids say. read more
I have wanted to try this place for a while but always wound up somewhere else for Brunch. Well I made it finally and I am so glad I did. My daughter and I both ordered the smoked pork belly eggs Benedict, a good portion of food cooked to order- juicy and delicious pork belly on slightly sweet corn bread topped with two well poached eggs and accompanied by hash potatoes. I had hot tea she had apple juice. Prices are fair for the amount of food. Service is fast and friendly. Always a good crowd. A little noisy but that's expected for brunch with friends and family. street parking read more
