I wish I can describe "Eggcellent Breakfast" truly as excellent. However, this place serves good breakfast and I really don't have any complaints. Our family has ordered from "Eggcellent" several times via DoorDash deliveries. Due to the short distance to our house, food always arrived with the right temperature. We had ordered the steak skillet, generic breakfast, crepes, French toasts, etc. Kids enjoyed what they offered, but I did have a minor suggestion on the takeout package: if they could use a mcrowave-safe package instead of using the Styrofoam. Then ambiance for dining in was what one would expect from a neighborhood breakfast joint. The building itself was old and I have seen a few different establishments occupied on this corner of Irving Park and Narragansett for the past 10 years. "Eggcellent" would be a reliable and no frills type of diner for the patrons living nearby. The items, in my opinion were priced reasonably (look for their weekday specials). Service was on par when my partner and I opted for dine in one weekday morning. In addition, the environment would certainly be kids-friendly since we saw a decent amount of families there. Free parking is provided in the back of restaurant, yet this is for multiple businesses so the spaces can be quite limited. Our family definitely will continue support "Eggcellent" because the location is close and we can always find something on the menu for everyone in the family. read more

It's hard to find a breakfast spot that really differentiates itself. But this place really stands out. Omelette was dynamite and the hash browns absolute perfection. They went old school and had an orange slice with the dish. Coffee was excellent too. Best breakfast spot be been to in a while. read more

walking up to the place i wasn't expecting it to look like that but you shouldn't judge something before you actually go inside and taste the food. we waited about 5 minutes before being seated. the staff was friendly and it wasn't too busy inside. the inside did seem outdated though not gonna lie. we got helped out after 10 minutes of sitting and got our drinks and then ordered our food right away. we waiting about 20 minutes tog eat our drinks. after we got our drinks 5 minutes later our food came out. i got strawberry french toast which is seemed like from the menu there was going to be more to it but it was just extra strawberries on top. they were good. my decaf iced coffee wasn't that good. also got a regular order or french toast and side of bacon. bacon was good and crisp and french toast was also good. not sure if we'll be back though, good thing to try read more

Really good food and prices. Atmosphere is relaxing. I got a huge veggie omelette with pancakes and home potatoes. There was a ton of veggies and the homemade potatoes were a hit! Great seasoning. We also got a chocolate milkshake for the little one. He was indifferent to it. I tasted it and didn't care for it as well. Good food tho. Parking in the back. Decent service. They seemed to be a little short staffed but we got our coffee refills. Didn't see take any pictures of the food but it looked ok. Tasted great. We'll be back. read more

Eggcellent Breakfast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

First time visiting, went in for a late breakfast. Parking in back is free and lots of space. Restaurant inside is clean and service was just okay. The host seemed to only speak Spanish which is fine but she was on her phone the whole time and it was on speaker. We heard all her conversations. She was on multiple calls. It's really annoying, distracting and unprofessional. Wear headphones or something to take personal calls. Big pet peeve anywhere. The food was okay. Quite pricey, $20.99 for steak and eggs, steak was seasoned and cooked well, the three eggs were good, the house potatoes were just okay. Potatoes lacked seasoning and salt. Don't think this dish should be $21. The coffee is not good, very weak and not worth $4. Love a good diner coffee but this was not it. My cup tasted like water and creamer with a hint of coffee. We also asked for a strawberry lemonade and it was Minute Maid lemonade blended with strawberries. It wasn't that great nor worth $5. read more

Eggcellent Breakfast - Kids Eggscellent Plate - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Great food, great service, great price! This place just recently opened. Compared to other small mom and pop breakfast places like Cozy Corner, this place hands down has it beat. Firts flavor, had some chilaquiles in green sauce. They had the right amount of spice and full flavored crunchy tortillas. Second price, just 12 bucks.. if you want chicken or steak add about 8 bucks. Over all price about 20. Compared to Cozy, your paying over 25 bucks. Other dish we had was a chorizo skillet. Plentiful, right amount of kick and plenty of actual chorizo. It was not just a bunch of potatoes drenched in cheese. Well balanced flavor and I can tell it was a homemade recipe. Cup of never ending coffee will run you about 3 bucks and it was fresh and flavourful. Check this place out before word gets out! They do charge a surcharge if you use a CC, but that was not a deal breaker. I'm not sure if you can have it removed, did not ask. I will definitely recommend this little corner breakfast place. Will not fail you. read more

My family were big patrons of the old restaurant I. This place and we're so excited to see another breakfast spot take over. Yes they are new and yes they seem like their staff is new but I thought and saw them working together almost training each other. And why I am giving them the benefit of the doubt and going with 5 stars where a more established restaurant I may give a 4. They did some minor renovations and opened the whole place up. I loved the additions to the basic breakfast/lunch menu and while usually I would go with a skillet or omelet couldn't resist the bread pudding French toast and an egg. It was LOVELY! My husband got the same and had me take a picture it looked so good. My over medium eggs perfectly cooked and all was garnished to make it look fancy. We needed a new breakfast spot in the neighborhood and I am excited to see where this one goes and how it evolves. read more

I had high hopes for this breakfast place because it is in my neighborhood. But having gone there, I have to say it was average at best. Our order came out in a disjointed way--got the egg dish but no toast--had to wait awhile for that and by that time my egg dish was cold. Hash browns were not really very good--and they were cold. My friend that was with me did not receive his toast with the breakfast or a side order of pancakes--we waited 10 minutes for that. I think it is important to get your complete meal delivered to your table at the same time so you can have a hot breakfast. They seem to have operational issues here that create a negative experience. We won't be back. read more

This place opened a week ago today and we were so pleasantly surprised! The food was fantastic, start to finish, and the service was friendly and welcoming. My husband had the Eggcellent skillet (potatoes, mushrooms, ham, bacon, green peppers) which looked standard but the flavors were amazing. My chilaquiles were the best I've ever had tbh- the chips had the perfect texture and the ranchero sauce was mild but delicious. The tea was piping hot and the atmosphere was bright and cheerful. And there's free parking in the back! This is our new favorite local breakfast spot! read more

I will begin here, I have gone to school and currently work in the area. I have gone past this location on several occasions. The original owner of the first restaurant officially retired and closed it's doors. Some time later a sign was placed on the outside of the restaurant, eggcellent breakfast was coming soon. Thursday was the grand opening. Today I decided to give this place a spin. Upon walking we were greeted. One of the staff, asked how many would be seated, I said 2. But the downside, a name wasn't written down. It seems no names are asked for. Once a table opens the next group is seated. Then another. We were seated a group of three were seated behind us. Their drink order was taken before ours. I am not sure if the wait staff needs some organization because the wait time is a little frustrating. The staff is friendly but some work needs to be sorted out. Especially during the weekends. The food has a great presentation, the pancakes are nice and fluffy. There was also some confusion in front of the house with the register. Decent location. A little small but space to sit and move around. I am glad we stopped. But some of the rough edges have to be smoothed out. Which I hope they do. Eggcellent breakfast welcome to Dunning.. read more

First and definitely not the last time here. Breakfast here is truly eggcellent! I went with my gut and ordered Mexican; I had the chilaquiles rancheros with steak and the sauce really complimented the succulent well seasoned meat. I also had one of the fluffy cake-like pancakes. The lay out of the place with the hanging lights reminds me of a good ole fashion-family diner and it was pretty good service. read more

Yelp says they open at 7am, no operation hours posted on the door of business, this is the second time 10/18/23 that I've come here and they were CLOSED when they claim to be open so I will not be returning that's a huge pet pieve.

How does food look and taste dirty? The hash browns tasted like dish water...... The bacon tastes wet. How do you mess up bacon? Literally all you have to do is fry it? The eggs watered down. The turkey sausages were disgusting. The pancakes were dirty and disgusting. The cantaloupe tasted like oranges... And the oranges were warm. Chhhiilleeeee.....just.....no. read more

We just ate here and I had to immediately hop on and say this was one of the worst breakfast experiences I've ever had. The waitress was turned around and totally confused. She even brought me an English muffin while I was already eating my English muffin. I said "I'm already eating my English muffin". She responded, "Oh f%^! I'm so confused ". She got the order wrong twice. To add insult to injury your bill has a price for paying by cash but they add the credit card fee if you pay by card. For that alone I will not give you my business. Eat the $1.33 so that I'll come back again and again as a faithful customer. Don't penalize me. It's 2023. We all use cards. read more

In fairness I know they just opened scour of weeks ago and any new business has to work out the kinks. However as a new business I think you also have to be honest with yourself about your limitations. They're definitely understaffed. Waitress who I'm pretty sure was actually manager was taking care of half of the restaurant. Got my coffee way after my meal had already come. Ordered a spinach feta omelette and it came with a bunch of onions even though that wasn't listed on the menu. Spinach and feta wasn't really cooked into omelette, ended up just being a cube of feta shoved in between the two pieces of egg. That doesn't even really bother me, not every meal is going to be perfect. What really gave me the ick was when I asked what the Rompochino was (pretty sure it was rompompe and cappuccino together) and the waitress/manager (white woman) said "idk that you have to ask one of the Spanish girls." If you're having a restaurant with a Mexican inspired menu (huevos rancheros, chilaquiles, horchata, etc) and predominantly Latino employees and cooks you can be a little more mindful and considerate about how you behave and idk maybe actually know what's on the menu for your restaurant ? Not a good look. read more
