seriously, probably one of the BEST breakfasts we've had. we're here for a mother's day trip and drove by this place. was super curious so we walked in, immediately knew we wanted to eat here due to the Wizard of Oz theme. We ordered the Dorothy's revenge and by far the best Benedict i've had. Also got the famous punkin waffles, again the BEST waffles ever!!! my son loved his food too, usually hard getting a 2 year old to eat lol. now on to staff/ service. when we sat, they gifted me a beautiful rose for moms day and it took a lot in me not to cry. everyone is sooo sweet and the owner checked on us regularly! the whole family works here and everyone took SUCH good care of us and involved my son. we will for sure be coming here every time we visit. thank you egg fam for making the day so special!!!! read more

Egghead's Restaurant - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Fort Bragg, California

We came by for sunday brunch since we were in town for the valentine's day weekend. They were absolutely packed! It was storming outside but people were forming a line to dine in. The restaurant has such a fun theme and I love their commitment to sustainability 10/10!! Food was very good, I had the corned beef which was prepared differently from how I i'm used to (which is explicitly stated in the menu) but it was great nonetheless! This is a good spot for small groups, I wouldn't recommend large parties because space is very limited. read more

After a long, rhythmic stroll along the foggy edges of Fort Bragg, my little troupe and I slipped into Egghead's Restaurant like we knew exactly what we were doing. I arrived with the Cowardly Lion, already breathing heavy at the smell of bacon; the Scarecrow, hungry for stimulation of any kind; Dorothy, glowing with that post-adventure restlessness; and Toto, vibrating with unchecked desire for floor-level scraps. The food came out hot, confident, and unapologetically stacked. Dorothy's omelet spilled open in a way that felt personal. The Lion's bacon crackled and curved with intention, giving him the courage he pretends he doesn't crave. Pancakes lounged on the plate, thick and golden, soaking up syrup like they wanted it. Even the Scarecrow went quiet for a moment, which for him is intimate. As for me, a man of tin with a hollow chest cavity, I felt my joints loosen and my bolts warm. The coffee was dark, deep, and kept coming back to the table, refusing to let us leave too soon. Every refill felt like eye contact. Lingering. Suggestive. The server handled us with practiced ease, unfazed by the Lion's needy energy or Dorothy's slow, deliberate sips. There was patience there. Experience. The kind of calm that says, "Take your time." The room itself was cozy, low-key, and full of murmured satisfaction. Plates clinked. Syrup glistened. Outside, the mist pressed against the windows like it wanted in. I didn't find a heart at Egghead's, but I did feel... something. A gentle whirr in my chest. A subtle craving to stay longer than necessary. Five stars. Brunch that knows exactly what it's doing. read more

Great service. Miguel was clear, concise and funny without being too personal. The food was amazing; I had the Kansas pancakes, a hint of orange zest, maybe a bit of cinnamon, definitely the blueberry and just luscious. My partner had the French toast; a pudding creaminess that was define on a thick slice of sourdough bread. The sausage patty though, wow! An Amazing flavor combination. Two eggs over easy were perfect as a side. Definitely fresh squeezed orange juice. The coffee, devine. It is a sweet small space devoted to the Wizard of Oz. read more

Came here for breakfast before riding the Skunk Train nearby. The place is tiny and we were seated at a small table, but it's good we got there when we did because it was starting to really pick up. The Wizard of Oz decorations throughout are pretty cool especially if you're a fan. The Biscuits and Gravy was really good and made from scratch. The over-medium eggs and bacon were also delicious. And the country potatoes were perfect. Nice crips on the outside but still fluffy potato inside. Wifey enjoyed her scrambled egg breakfast. One of Fort Bragg's best spots for breakfast. I'd suggest getting there as early as possible especially on weekends since the restaurant is small and gets packed quickly. But either way you will enjoy the food! read more

Chat told us we had to come here so we did! The restaurant is pretty small so there's always a wait. It is clean and cozy. We waited 45 minutes for a table and about 45 minutes for our food. The food was pretty good. My husband had no place like home burger and I had the cowardly lion. Both good and the portion were big. I must say the potato's and fresh OJ were our favorite part of the meal! read more

On previous trips we have chosen Eggheads and normally on a weekend when the line is out the door. Today though, on a quiet Wednesday we went right in and sat immediately. The decor is Wizard of Oz themed and done quite well. Ok, on to the food.... My wife had the grilled smoked turkey w/ mushrooms, quite tasty and huge! I opted for the Corned Beef Hash/ Not Hash as per the menu. Great plate of corned beef, fresh red potatoes and onions. Great flavor, but regrettably the corned beef was tough and very chewy. In my opinion it needed another hour in pan. Otherwise a great meal. read more

Cool breakfast joint with cute decor and the names of menu items aligned with the "wizard of oz" theme. The place is small, so seating is limited and a bit crammed. We were quoted a 25 minute wait to be seated on a Sunday morning, it actually took 35 minutes, luckily they text your phone so we were able to walk around downtown while waiting for our table to be ready. When we were finally seated, service was excellent. We got the spanish oz omelette, and uncle henry's farmhand favorite with eggs cooked overeasy and added patty sausage (they have several different options for sausage). All of our items were savory and delish, the potatoes a bit on the salty side but our dishes as a whole not bad at all. read more

The food is great! We did takeout and really enjoyed everything. Their breakfast potatoes are excellent among other things. The restaurant is really cozy and fun to experience. There are lots of booths and I'm sure that others have mentioned the Wizard of Oz theme. This is on the short list of places we will return to in Fort Bragg for sure. read more

Tiny breakfast spot on the main drag. Local sausages and meat products are a lovely addition. Several kinds of eggs Benedict...you must try them. Good strong coffee: what's not to like? This isn't Danny's - It's not fast food but it's super yummy. read more

We were excited to try Egghead's Restaurant after seeing all the raving reviews. We went on a Friday morning and were told there'd be a 25-minute wait, but we were seated in just 15, a pleasant surprise. My husband ordered the Dungeness crab omelet and really enjoyed it, though he noted that the eggs themselves lacked flavor. That said, I know many places leave the eggs unseasoned so diners can adjust to their own taste. The potatoes that came with his meal were absolutely delicious, crispy, well-seasoned, and full of flavor. He also got the hollandaise sauce made with tequila on the side, which he liked. I went with the Wicked Benedict, swapped the standard hollandaise for their champagne version, and subbed the potatoes for grilled veggies and there was no extra charge for any of the changes! The homemade biscuit with the sausage was especially tasty and definitely a highlight. read more

We took our chances on trying to get a table at this local gem. Most days there is a long line to get a table. We only had a 15 min wait and walked to a few shops while we waited. We received a text before the 15 minute estimate. All tables were full and the servers were super busy. We ordered the two egg combo, the 1/4 pumpkin waffle and the eggs Benedict. We really wanted the biscuits and gravy but you have to get there early before they run out. All is made fresh each day and due to popularity they do run out. No biggie since everything we had was so flavorful and well worth trying. Our only regret is that we didn't order a full serving of the pumpkin waffle. It was so good we really wanted more! The decor is Wizard of Oz and super cute. They even have a yellow brick road leading to the restrooms (Emerald City) in back of building. The servers were very friendly and quick to check in with us. Next time we visit I plan to not miss out on the biscuits and gravy! read more

Small joint on the main drag. Middle of the road food that comes on a "compostable" plate which really does nothing if not disposed of in a compose facility. I am not sure why someone would choose to throw hundreds of plates, everyday, in the trash. Oh and if you want to see something pretty amazing, check out their ceiling fans. I didn't know dust could pile up like snow. I'm just glad they didn't turn on while we were eating. read more

I understand a wait on a holiday weekend. That said after I sat down to wait for 40 minutes in a half empty restaurant for mediocre food (used to be amazing) and to have it served as such on paper plates and to have it cost SF Bay Area prices is a joke. I won't be returning it was that bad. read more

Egghead's Restaurant - Eggs Benedict and coffee. Bland boring overpriced. So disappointed it used to be better. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Fort Bragg, California

Super cute, quaint, small coastal town feel! Worth the wait on the weekends. Staff are all very sweet and accommodating, even when short staffed as we were told initially. It's a tight fit, with not many tables, but still comfortable and inviting. The food is seasoned well and delicious - we had the eggs benedict and the flying monkeys potatoes. The ambiance is traditional diner but with a whimsical fun twist of wizard of Oz themed decor and dish names. read more

Egghead's Restaurant - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Fort Bragg, California

Most expensive breakfast place I've been to. 3 people $98. The extras were definitely way more expensive that I thought. Generally, juices and extra sides are a few bucks but $8 for OJ, $6 for bacon and $3 for sausage what? This place really caught me off guard. And they serve on paper plates. They food took a while. Like a while and there wasn't that many people here. Coffee was meh. I just can't see the justification for such high price. The place is old, the food is ok, service is meh, there's death metal music in the background. What? read more

Egghead's Restaurant - Three people bill. OJ $8!!! Most expensive I've ever paid for breakfast for 3. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Fort Bragg, California

Kitschy little breakfast spot w/ a cute ambience centered around a Wizard of Oz theme. Downtown on the main drag w/ plenty of on-street parking. Only 7-8 tables so there could be a wait during busier hours, but we went on a weekday and were able to get in and seated immediately. I got the Biscuits & Gravy and my wife got a Veggie Scramble. Both came red potatoes that were crispy & fluffy simultaneously. I would order either again as both were large delicious portions (my wife even ordered the "smaller" option and still could not finish it). The service was knowledgeable and prompt. Our server was so nice & helpful. After the meal we asked him about where would be a nice local restaurant to have a romantic birthday dinner and he had several wonderful suggestions. I plan on breakfast at Eggheads the next time I visit Ft Bragg. read more

We had high hopes for this place because of the reviews and high ratings. Unfortunately, the insanely long wait time and food was just not worth the wait on the final morning of our trip. The food was served on paper compostable plates which is great but the utensils and cups were regular so it defeated the purpose. The French toast was not that great. And the $7 for a side of ham and $7 for a side of bacon caught me and my wife off guard. My wife liked her omelette. The saving grace was the wizard of oz theme and decor. read more

Awesome place to grub! Outstanding service! My hubs got his ice tea refilled 4-5 times! The entire restaurant is Wizard of Oz themed so all the meals are named something from that movie. With paintings from the local high school, mementos remembering the film and other various interesting things to look at. We ordered the Uncle Henry's Favorite, the Lion, and the Emerald City Omelette. Food came out quick and was hearty and good! Filled us up on a rainy morning! If I lived near by I would return again. A fun stop while road-tripping. read more

Stopped in for some quick breakfast before going on the skunk train. We cut our time too short and they have minimal staff for a party of 7 so its understandable.

So delicious! We actually ended up eating here because the place we were planning to eat at was closed. I'm so glad we did! We got eggs Benedict, a kids meal, and their corn pancake special. Everything was absolutely delicious! It sounds so strange, but my husband and I were blown away by the potatoes that came on the side with the eggs Benedict. Potatoes are usually just a random afterthought filler, but these were well cooked and incredibly well seasoned. The pancakes were unreal! I'm not even a huge pancake person, but I would go back just for those. Not too sweet, but so light and fluffy. Amazing! This is a really tiny location, so I highly recommend making a reservation before you go! Staff was nice and helpful. read more

If you visit For Bragg you gotta come have breakfast here! The food is delicious and fresh. But the service.... the service is amazing! We've been here twice and we come back because it feels homie and shout out to Ana for explaining the menu to us and answering my questions. The food may take a little while but you'll be good looking around the art and the pictures of Wizard of Oz... did I forget to mention there is a Wizard of Oz theme they got going on. Order yourself a fresh squeezed orange juice... it's delicious!!!! Also, Becky is working on helping the planet (read this from a note on the menu) so know that the plates are biodegradable. read more

Egghead's Restaurant - How cute is the menu - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Fort Bragg, California

When we arrived at Egghead's Restaurant on Sunday morning, we were told there would be a 30 minute wait for our party of 3. However, we only ended up waiting about 10 minutes! The ambiance was casual, very much like a classic diner but with a Wizard of Oz theme. We were seated at a booth, which was surprisingly uncomfortable. Service was quick and the hot coffee refills came around pretty frequently. For food, I chose the Sloppy Dot sandwich and my friends both got the #14 Omelette with veggies. The Sloppy Dot was decent - expectedly messy to eat and very filling. It came with a choice of potatoes or fruit as a side, but I was too full from the sandwich to try the potatoes. The omelettes were pretty standard, as well. Overall, good for a casual breakfast but nothing life-changing. read more

Love this spot when visiting Fort Bragg. It's quaint and charming. The service is always great but be advised, they will fill up very quickly on the weekends. We went on a Tuesday about 9:00am and it was quiet and had plenty of open seating. Hubby got the corned beef hash and I got the eggs Benedict (of course). The restaurant is moving to a more sustainable future and they've swapped their plates to a compostable plate made from sugarcane! How great is that? I didn't notice a difference while eating the food. The corned beef hash was excellent and the perfect portion size. The Benedict was great as well, and I always appreciate a restaurant that can properly poach an egg. I find their hollandaise to be mild but enjoyable. Overall, I enjoy this hole in the wall spot and will continue to stop in when I am visiting! read more

I went here over ten years ago and I had a great time. I just received the chance to return and everything was just as good as I remembered it. Our server was kind and friendly, giving us recommendations on what to try and what he liked himself. The restaurant is small and with the amount of service they get, I hope one day they are able to move locations. The wait time was around twenty minutes and wasn't too bad at all. I got the corn flour cakes and they were such a delicious take on pancakes. They even had blueberries inside of them which was a very nice touch. Can't wait to return! read more
