The other Egg was my favorite brunch place in STL, but their new location wins! Not only because of the interior, but this menu is a bit more expansive. First the food. Per usual, they bang out amazing food that's high in quality, complex in taste, and beautiful in presentation. When we got our food the restaurant was packed but that didn't deter at all from the quality. I got the El Cerdo hash- carnitas pulled pork, spinach, jalapenos, and corn all cooked together with a balance of sweetness and crunch from the corn, then spice from the jalapeno, and fat from the pork- it's perfect. I asked them to cook my potatoes on the side because I hate potatoes in a hash (I know I know but most places serve them soft and I hate that), and they fried these little guys up into crisp potato snacks that were heavenly. My friend got the french toast- topped with fruit compote (I believe blackberry) and ricotta cream- which was well balanced and not too sweet. She also got a single carne asada sope, which had the most flavorful and tender beans I can remember ever eating. The interior is inviting with huge windows, a great open concept layout, and a huge bar filled with coffee and booze. It's modern meets industrial meets cozy living room. They also have gender neutral bathrooms which I love to see. I'm curious if they have a permit for outdoor seating once the weather is nice, because that would be a great add on in the summer. Go and check them out, you won't regret it!! read more

Busted for a Sunday morning breakfast. Busy with many people,waiting. Took about 15 minutes to be seated. We walked around the neighborhood while we waited to be called. Menu is interesting with lots of different choices. Coffee was very good. We shared two things, the corn bread Benedict with pork belly and the El Cerdo hash. Food came out quickly and was hot. The balance of flavors was outstanding. The poached eggs were cooked perfectly. Refills of both coffee nw water offered on a regular basis. Seemed like they could have used one more waitress this morning but everyone was working well together to take care of customers. Would definitely return. Good food at a good price point. read more

Flavor pours out of every dish and glass. The cornbread eggs Benedict is to die for. The owner is also very friendly and waits on tables so you know he cares. Tunisian flavors are here if you want them. Outstanding.... and the turmeric, honey latte... I have no words. read more

My favorite breakfast place in the city! My husbands too - I think we went 3 full months having Egg for brunch every weekend. My first experience with Egg was a number of years ago when I wasn't even living in MO. I was in town for work and looking for a good brunch spot to take some colleagues. I had the Shakshuka and was so obsessed that 3 years later when my husband and I decided to move to STL I went crazy looking all over yelp trying to find the brunch spot with the amazing shakshuka! Now that we live here we have tried just about everything on the brunch menu (we really love brunch) and are yet to have something we don't like. The pork breakfast tacos are his favorite and they are impossibly generous with the fillings. You could really make 2 or 3 tacos out of the filing of just 1. The french toast is perfect - not soggy but sweet and caramelized on the outside while custard like on the inside. If you dine in you must try their special grapefruit and champagne drink! It inspired us to freshly squeeze grapefruit at home it's so good! And the coffee - SO GOOD! I'm a coffee snob and often just make my own that I drink on our way to brunch to avoid disappointment but I get excited to try new lattes here. The icing on the cake here is the owner. He is so darn lovely!!! Our first time eating here as STL residents we sat at the bar (pre-covid times) and this super nice man started chatting with us from behind the bar. I told him of my first experience and how I couldn't wait to come back once we moved here and he treated us to a complimentary drink. He then proceeded to offer the same grace and kindness to everyone else in the bar area. He seemed genuinely happy to interact with his customers and even introduced us to his son (who was hustling hard to get hot plates out). Delicious, quality food, good drinks and coffee and a personable owner who appreciates his customers - what more could you want?! read more

Emma, our server, waltzed up to our table sporting a Joy Division shirt to greet us and she was an absolute pleasure! Whereas I can see how, at times, love could "tear us apart", rest assured that the Cornbread Benedict w/ pork belly, Barbacoa Grits, and/or Mexican Slinger w/ carne asada will more than put us back together! I've never had a bad meal here. It's all delicious. Throw in an espresso martini on ice and you can thank me later. You will not regret this... read more

Went to Egg in Midtown on a Tuesday morning. We were quickly seated and allowed to pick our own table. It was not very busy on this day and our server was around often to check if we had any questions on the menu. I ordered the Turkish hash (kafteji) with merguez and my partner had 2 breakfast tacos (carne asada and chorizo). My partner has a food allergy and after ordering the owner came out to ensure that her food would be okay as the carne asada is cooked with onions which was very nice. The kafteji was very good and full of flavor. The merguez was a bit dry on its own but when combined with the egg and sauces it was quite good. read more

Tremendous breakfast!!! You won't be sorry. Mexican flair with some American options. Most definitely recommend!

Not a place I'll go back to. First time was good. Went with a coworker had good service. Today, went by myself. Place not busy. Only checked on once, right after meal dropped off. No offer of water refill. Yet other tables were asked if they wanted more water. Male server interacted with a young woman when he was on the floor, more than anyone. I paid via credit card. A credit card machine was left on the table. I removed my card. Got up and headed for the door. As I was leaving server was back to young woman chatting. Server looked at me as I was at the door with no acknowledgement. Yes, I left a tip, hopefully for the woman who brought out my food and for the cook. Will I go back: No. read more

Darling place in historic Automotive Row in the 3000 block of Locust in St Louis. Really neat old white brick (tile?) one story building. The vibe is electic coffee shop/breakfast place with an international feel. I enjoyed a delicious Tunisian dish; my friend had biscuits with mushroom gravy. The lattes were great, & our international server was delightful. I'll be back! read more

Came here after a show at The Fox. Food was delicious and had great service. I recommend the French toast

This place has a great vibe, beautiful decor, friendly service, and delicious food. The grapefruit juice tasted freshly squeezed and the food had a lot of flavor. My eggs Benedict were overcooked and not runny which was disappointing but my husband's were runny. A little inconsistent, maybe, but still a yummy brunch. read more

Cool artwork on walls, good vibe. Fast courteous service. Shrimp and grits was delicious. Iced mocha was ok.

Well, I can't actually say this Egg is good or not. We have been to the other location several times and each time was wonderful. I have that one 5 stars years ago. The only reason for the 3 stars is due to the fact that we walked in, riced that it was cold inside. They just didn't turn the heat on. The guy behind the bar said he would happily turn it on. Others had their coats on too. But, we didn't want to wait u til it warmed up, so we left. If maybe he offered warm coffee or tea instead of heat, we may have stayed. Maybe just too expensive to heat... I also wish that I didn't have to pay for parking as the Gravois location has free parking. Anyhow, we found another place that had the heat on, Lina's Lil Eats.... Always great. So, another time or maybe just will go back to the original location, where the staff is wonderful. read more

I enjoyed a quiet weekday breakfast outside on the patio area with my dog right after they opened for the day. It was a bit windy but the waitress did her best to keep things from blowing off the table. Plus, she got a big water bowl for my companion. I ordered a basic breakfast a la carte: bacon, scrambled eggs, and breakfast potatoes. Everything was delicious, hot, and the perfect portion size. The price was good as well. I hope to be back. read more

Had a wonderful brunch! Our server was extremely friendly, helpful and patient with our questions even though he had the entire floor to himself. I had the hot espresso martini that gave me life with just the right amount of caffeine and alcohol. For food I got the pork belly cornbread Benedict. It was especially nice that they let me substitute scrambled eggs in place of the poached (I can't do the runny yoke). Plenty of social distancing and everyone had on their masks read more

I had the hash with Chorizo and it was absolutely fantastic! Large portions! Service was prompt food arrived quickly. When we first walked in there was music playing too loudly to have a conversation or phone call, but they kindly turned it down upon request. read more

0 star if I could. Filthy, cold, and extremely slow. Sat for 45 minutes and the drink was not even served. The bartender had the time to chit chat but couldn't find the chance to serve a basic hot chocolate. If this restaurant didn't go under during covid, it's your chance now. read more

Delicious breakfast! Everything seemed to be cooked perfectly, and the sauces were amazing!

Great place for breakfast! Good coffee/drink options. I love the cornbread eggs Benedict too!

Service was not good at all. Our waitress took over 15 minutes to come over for the first time to get our drink order. We all ordered waters and alcoholic drinks. Neither were brought out until after the food was brought out. They only brought the alcoholic drinks and we had to ask again for waters. The food also took a very long time, despite the restaurant being empty. Since we didn't have drinks yet either, we asked if they could just cancel our order altogether and leave. The waitress said she would still have to charge us because they started working on the food already, so we stayed. Once the food came out, it was just ok, but not good enough for the poor service and wait time in an empty restaurant to be worth it. Overall, wouldn't recommend. read more

This is one of my favorite brunch spots in STL. My Husband and I love the pork belly benedict, the biscuits and gravy, the espresso martini and really anything we have tried there.

Food are good, but the size is a bit small - If you have a big appetite probably you'll not be fed well lol. The hash is delicious. My friend says her benedict is also good. The french toast is not as good as expected though. 3.5/5 overall. read more

Everything we ordered was very good, but the service was slow and lacking. The drinks (Bloody Mary, Bloody Maria and Salty Dog) were ok; the Salty Dig was the best one. The ambiance was quite nice with funky art and a comfortable vibe. Each of the hashes we had was delicious. The tacos (I had carne asada and chorizo) were tasty but a tad one-note and greasy. The French toast was kinda dull honestly but we needed a sweet dish to offset the savory since we always meal share. Based on the food and atmosphere, I think I'd return and hope for better service. read more

Nice quiet atmosphere to socialize. Went around 12pn so parking was ok not to busy. Starting off i grabbed a mimosa(wasnt strong) but the OJ was flavory. Let me tell you now that the menu didn't really catch my eye but I just did not want to be plain Jane and go with eggs, bacon and French toast so I "Eeny, meeny, miny, moed"-- the menu and picked the Corn bread benidicts with pork belly added spinach and avocado(I was craving lol) with French toast with fruit compote (peaches). Waitress brings out the food and my eyes were definitely bigger than my stomach. First bite was "EVERYTHING"!!! Great flavor, everything complimented each other, avocados were to big though(would recommend them being sliced), spinach had just the right amount of seasoning, potatoes were cut perfectly and well crisped and the brioche French toast was perfectly soft with a sweet butter cream on top. The pork belly was a little to tough though. What really set this dish off was the actual corn bread. Omg! That corn bread could be mixed with any dish and would still be great. Would recommend this place, going back soon will update on other dishes. read more

The Beginning: My girlfriend and I decided to eat at Egg since we were in the area and we wanted breakfast. Their online ordering experience was pretty seamless. The menu was clearly laid out on their website and I recommend using their website if doing pick up/curb side delivery. After we placed our order, we were notified that it'd be ready at 9:50 AM. - Semolina Pancakes: $11 - Pork Belly Benedict: $14 - 1 Carne Asada Breakfast Taco: $6.50 Total: ~$40 with tax and tip The Pick Up: Our order arrived promptly at 9:50 AM steaming hot, delivered by a friendly worker. Before driving off, I gave the goods a once over - modus operandi for any pick up order. Everything seemed to be right, except the pancakes were missing their honey butter & maple syrup the menu promised. Shocked, I worked quickly to address this for there is no greater sin than a naked pancake. The folks at Egg were quick to remediate this issue and quickly gave me a copious amount of maple syrup. However, it still felt weird that they missed the only two things that were supposed to come with my pancakes. The Eating: We arrived home to see all the meals packaged nicely. The pancakes were laid out lovingly, the taco bursting at the seams from the generous amounts of egg and carne asada, and the pork belly eggs benedict laying on a crispy bed of breakfast potatoes. I was about to dig in when I saw a sin greater than naked pancakes, a naked eggs benedict. My eggs benedict lacked hollandaise sauce and laid there barren, exposed, and sad. I would describe my reaction to this discovery as equal to my disappointment in the 2020 Presidential Debate between Trump and Biden, this time condensed to 10 seconds rather than a painful 1.5 hours. Otherwise everything was executed pretty well. The pancakes were decent but I'm not sure I would pay $11 for three plain, medium-sized pancakes. The tacos were decent, the carne asada wasn't cooked to hell and was still tender. The tortillas were fluffy and held up well during transportation. The eggs benedict for what I received was also decent. The breakfast potatoes were amazing, like crispy little chips with a nice fluffy interior. The pork belly that came with the dish was both generous and seared/seasoned to perfection. The idea of replacing the english muffin with cornbread is borderline genius and insane. However, none of that makes up for the lack of hollandaise sauce. Egg should be proud of the food they serve. The quality of their food is nothing to scoff at and while their dishes look simple on the surface, each has their own unique twist. However, good technique does not help you recover from dishes missing major components. So with that, I conclude with this: In 9 A.D Emperor Augustus exclaimed "Give Me Back My Legions" when he discovered that he had lost three of his roman legions in the Teutoburg Forest. In 2020, I say "Give Me Back my Money" for my eggs benedict had no hollandaise. read more

This would be a four-star review if they could keep my coffee cup full during my breakfast. I don't like staring at an empty coffee cup. The food was delicious although my hash was served in a dish that caused it to overflow onto the plate below. The space is a bit loud so conversation can be difficult at times. The wait for table on a Sunday morning was about 20 minutes. I plan on going again but probably during the week. read more

I love, Love, LOVE the Egg. After standing in line for another hot restaurant up the block, only to be turned away after being ignored for 15 min, I stumbled into the Egg. I was "one of those customers" and showed up at closing time. The owner found a seat for me at the bar and served me. I was delighted that they had chakchouka, my favorite egg dish in Dubai. It was cooked to perfection with just the right amount of zing. I would give the Egg, and in particular the staff, 6 stars if I could. Please come here and keep this fantastic place in business read more

Food was okay. I thought the French toast compote could have been a little sweeter, as it was rather tart. The bacon was probably my favorite, because it was so crispy! My major grievance was with the service. I wanted to make a to go order and was directed to the bar. I sat at the bar for 15-20 mins before anyone even acknowledged I was sitting there. There was another patron sitting at the bar who had been greeted several times and even comped at drink for waiting so long. The staff spoke to him multiple times before speaking to me once or offering water. When I did finally order my food, I wasn't waiting long. Honestly, I may not return unless other options are scarce. Food was average and service was subpar. read more
