Pretty average breakfast spot. Got a skillet and an omelet here, and both were priced regularly for the area($~11 each) and decently portioned. Each of us finished our dish, though we couldn't finish the side stack of pancakes that accompanied. Menu is impressively large, with a back to back display of pancakes, omelets, benedicts, and a surprising amount of lunch dishes from sandwiches to entrees. That said, benedicts looked good so those are probably on my list to order for next time. Wouldn't be in any rush to come back, but also wouldn't hesitate to come back if I wanted to get some breakfast food and didn't want to go too far. read more

Comfort food extraordinaire - after a visit to the nearby hospital, I want a simple hearty breakfast. I really like the pancakes, the syrup is hot, and I'm glad to have a good option that includes eggs, bacon, etc. without breaking the bank. Everything looks clean. Addresses related to Lake Shore Drive can be frustrating - to find Eggs Cafe, look for the building with the blue top. The restaurant is at the "deep" aka west side. It's obvious there are regulars here, and listening to friendly chatter flavors my pancakes nicely. We are usually there weekday mid-morning. read more

This is the second time that I've been here and I think the food is amazing it's not expensive either. And finally a place that I can go and have a cup of coffee and not be upset because it taste like water they use 100% Columbian coffee it is great. I really like their tuna salad it's not drenched in mayonnaise it's perfect. read more

I was so excited to have this place to get breakfast carryout from because I live so close. But now this is the second time I've ordered a strawberry waffle with whipped cream (and paid for the whipped cream and saw "whip cream" listed on the receipt stapled to my carry out bag) yet didn't get the whipped cream. Now my order has twice been not the way I wanted it and improperly charged. Double check your order is correct before leaving with your carryout. read more

A large meal with relatively cheap price. So far this is the best Brunch I've seen in the downtown area. Food is not as expensive as Yolk and you don't have to line up and wait for your call at weekends. I got a face-big steak omelette which comes with pancakes and large hashbrowns with $13. My husband got skirt steak that comes with 2 eggs, pancakes and a bowl fresh fruits with $19. Really satisfactory. The only thing a little strange is that when we were ordering the waitress seems blanked out for seconds. She was nice though. read more

In downtown for business and stumbled upon this gem. Food was fantastic and service was very fast. Very chill atmosphere. The omelette was one of the best I have ever had! Prices are a tad high, but they deliver on the quality so I am happy to pay the premium. read more

Nice serving people and tasty food (really large portion for a brunch!).

I work in the area and just had lunch here with a friend. I was disappointed with their gyros, which is advertised on the menu as "freshly sliced off the spit." It is not. The slices of meat were the same length, same width, same color, like the kind one buys in a grocery store. C'mon folks, how about some truth in advertising? Wait staff folks were nice and seemed eager to accommodate customers. read more

Yummy food and friendly service at a great price! Their entrees come with soup AND a side. You can't go wrong here with either breakfast or lunch - and the menu is extensive, so there's something for everyone! read more

So, so disappointing! My wife and I live in the building and are not thrilled with the other neighborhood choices for breakfast. We drive to Wishbone ( 5 stars) or Pancake House on Clark (5 stars) for a good meal. We are very excited to have anew place for breakfast in our own building. Our first impression was great. A very friendly hostess greeted us with enthusiasm and seated us in the best booth in the place. It went downhill fast. First , the decor: it is about as boring as humanly possible - how many shades of beige can you name? Second, the service: several minutes before anyone showed up with water or coffee -- and then it was only water. Several more minutes before a sour-faced, frowning waitress arrived and asked for our order. Again, no offer of coffee. When we asked for coffee and warmed up milk, she brought the coffee but not the milk. Finally, we got our water and coffee and milk -- and we had been seated for at least ten minutes by that time. We had to ask throughout the meal when we needed more water or coffee - it was never offered (we did notice another waitress in the place who always had a smile - our horrible service experience was probably attributable to the unlucky assignment of the waitress). Third, the food - terrible for a breakfast place. I probably should not have ordered Eggs Benedict in such a place but I did. I will admit the eggs were perfectly done but every other aspect of the order was horrible. The english muffin was doughy, the ham was thick and chewy and the hollandaise was horrible and way too much of it for the order. But there are a lot of good breakfast placed who cannot do a good EB, so that is not the problem. My wife got a skillet breakfast, with eggs "sunny side up/soft yolk." The eggs came "sunny side up/extra hard yolk." If there had been anyone around to complain to, we would have sent them back but no one in sight. Her english muffin was also horrible. They are probably both cheap english muffins and then kept frozen. Just like some of the other establishments in the 680 Lake Shore building that do not seem to care about excellence because of the captive crowd in the building and the neighborhood (yes, Treasure Island, I am referring to you). Eggs will probably do well without having to be good. Its a shame. read more

Went in here for lunch one day, to grab a quick bite to eat. Was allowed to sit wherever I wanted, most tables were dirty. Anyways, ordered the Philly Cheese steak sandwich, which came with fries and a complimentary soup of my choice. Service was very lack luster, the dinning room only had about 4-5 tables tops around 1-2pm on a Friday. Guy server took the order, brought my water which had what looked to be bread floating in it, or something like that. Didn't drink it, food came out, was never given silverware or any napkins. Had to flag down a busboy to get some silverware/napkins, otherwise I would've just sat there. Something which I suppose is out of their control, but even though I was eating inside there were so many damn flies inside the restaurant, it felt as if I was eating outside and was getting attacked. Sandwich was decent, pretty rare and not cooked through on one end. Maybe breakfast items are the better way to go, however menu is expansive with lots of items to choo read more

Great restaurant for breakfast/brunch. The menu is almost identical to Yolk's and the cooking is just as good and there is no waiting for a table. If you prefer crowds, long waits, and cramped seating, near by Yolk is for you. Conversely, if you enjoy good food , reasonably priced at a "plain Jane" restaurant then go to Eggs. read more

Family feel restaurant. They are fast and very friendly. The owner/manager always says hi and makes everyone feel at home.

Great place for cheap and super filling brunch. I don't normally crave breakfast food but when I want some pancakes for cheap I come here. The single egg for $5 comes with your choice of hashbrowns or fruit AND pancakes, toast or english muffin. This deal alone makes the food absolute steal, but on top of that the portions for normal entrees are humongous; one entree can easily be shared between two people. I've tried their nutella crepes, country fried chicken & eggs and build-your-own omelette. They were all decent, but nothing blew my mind. I didn't like the sausage gravy that came with the chicken & eggs very much; I preferred the gravy that they used to serve in my college dorm! I didn't really like the philly cheese steak because it wasn't really a cheese steak (which I consider thin slices of tender fatty fall apart meat) but rather thick, too chewy chunks of meat on bread + cheese. Service here is friendly but just about every time I've eaten here they've forgotten to give us something: utensils, syrup, or they only sprinkle powdered sugar over half our orders of pancakes. No biggie. read more

Tigah & family came here for Sunday lunch and ordered the gyro platter and crepes with bananas, strawberries and whipped cream. The gyro was properly overstuffed with meat. It was nice that the tzatziki sauce came on the side. It also came with a complimentary cup of soup which was cream of chicken and rice that day. Tigah's cubs loved the soup. Two of the cubs demanded their own crepe plate which was a big mistake. One crepe plate could easily feed 3 adults. There were 3 big crepes per order. Had 6 crepes rolls total and 4.5 of them were left uneaten. The crepes themselves were good but we were all disappointed that the bananas did not taste or look fresh. While the strawberries were fresh (though not very much of them) the bananas looked like they had been frozen and then thawed. The crepes were stuffed mostly with these thawed bananas. Bananas are so cheap, how could they not slice them fresh? Tigah has to take a star off and give a tsk, tsk! on the banana situation. The restaurant itself was clean, bright and cheerful. Tigah and family will definitely be trying it again for traditional breakfast items that don't involve bananas. read more

AMAZING Pumpkin Pancakes!!! To quote Gordon Ramsay "F*ng delicious!". I am a Pumpkin Pancake officianado - I wait all year long for Pumpkin season - kind of a fanatic. I've had pumpkin pancakes all over this city - these are the best! The pancakes are are perfectly spiced so that you can actually taste the spices, they're as fluffy as they can be considering there's Pumpkin in the batter (you know how sometimes pumpkin pancakes can be either too dense or fluffy but no taste - these are neither) Now the piece de resistance - PUMPKIN MARSCAPONE topping. OMG!!!SOOOOOOO GOOOOOOOD!! I can't stand when restaurants ruin the taste of their pancakes with whip cream, pecans, too much syrup, too much maple flavor....In this case the topping draws out the flavors of the gentle spices in the pumpkin pancakes. I recommend no butter, no syrup - just the topping. I've been coming here for just less than a year and really like the ambiance here - so bright and cheery! read more

What a very pleasant surprise, food was excellent the service was wonderful. Will definitely come here again. The omelet was very good as I've ever had. and breakfast was reasonable especially for downtown Chicago read more

This place is great. Quick, consistent and delicious coffee (iced and hot, both great and free refills!). We lived in the area and stumbled upon Eggs Cafe... We moved 15 mins away and still journey over every weekend! read more

Good food and ambience..not super crowded either which is good. First, the food was really good! We got the skillet and eggs Benedict both made well and tasty! I would definitely return for the food. The service, on the other hand, was not great. The waiter did not give utensils, we had to ask for them. He clearly saw my empty water glass and did not return once to refill. Did not refill coffee, we had to ask for that as well. Not very friendly either but I think it was just this server. read more

The ladies at the front desk should really not talk about the customers at the register. Horrible customer service.

This place has excellent food and even better customer service. One of the best breakfast spots I've been to.

Food was delicious, exactly what I wanted, & the service was superb! My waiter was precise, and friendly! I ordered the avocado tuna plate, it came with lots of fruit, tuna on top of 1/2 an avocado, toast and more. Filling and delicious! read more

I went with a friend here for breakfast. She was raving about it and I always love a new place to try. We were seated right away and got coffee and water right away. I ordered an omelette with fruit and pancakes. My friend ordered the same thing. It was ready super fast. The portion sizes were pretty big. Honestly, two people could split one omelette, fruit and pancakes and be perfectly full. Everything was delicious. I loved my omelette and the pancakes were fluffy and perfect. Prices were very reasonable for breakfast. They also have lunch too. I would definitely come back to try something else. read more

This place has great breakfasts. Not only do they taste great but the variety and portion sizes are note worthy. There's no doubt the food is fresh. Too bad on a Sunday morning it isn't packed. It should be. read more

First time here so I have no comparison to any other experience. Decor was clean and gives off the appearance of just being opened. My love ordered the Hollywood Omelette and I ordered the Popeye Frittata. His omelette had way, WAY too much garlic that overpowered everything and could not taste anything else. The omelette itself had a weird texture and we were not sure if it was just overcooked or the combination of the additional fat (from the avocado) made it that way. My frittata came in a skillet which looked more like a hash brown scramble versus a frittata. Our sever was no where to be found and never checked in on us. Refills were never given until a busser came around to clear our plates and asked my partner if he wanted a refill. Coffee was never refilled. Never brought the check to us either even though our table had been cleared for 15+ minutes. Needless to say that we won't be back. read more

I absolutely LOVE this place! It's located not too far from where I live so I love to come here every weekend (if I can) and have a nice meal. They have a large variety of breakfast and lunch meals and they're all delicious! So far I have tried all of their omelettes and frittatas. They sandwiches and burgers are also very good! Service is fast and polite. All of them work as a team to make sure you have a pleasant stay. Also very reasonably priced. If you're in the area and want some brunch food, come here and enjoy yourselves! read more

Wow very delicious breakfast! I had a Fussy Cust omelette with bacon, mushrooms, onions, and cheese. My husband ate a Poncho Villa omelette. Both were so good and the portion sizes were huge! Each came with hash browns and pancakes. The pancakes were sweet even without syrup. Best pancakes I have had ever! Fluffy, light, and slightly sweet! We will definitely come back before we leave Chicago! read more

Had a wonderful breakfast. Popeyes skillet was delicious. Prompt and friendly service. Great spot if you are staying at the W Hotel

I have eaten at Eggs Inc. on three occassions, and ordered delivery once for good measure. Each time my order has been wrong. Two missing entrees, two undercooked poultry dishes, and horrible service to boot. Steer clear. read more

Is 3 days in a row any indication of how good this place is? Excellent food (between 3 of us over 3 days we've sampled eggs, frittatas, omelettes and pancakes)- good size portions, excellent coffee, fast and pleasant service- not over priced! read more

Fantastic!! Best omelette I've ever had, the sun dried tomato, onion and feta. Pancackes were great, coffee delish and the service wonderful. read more

A nice new place near the lake. My food was very average, although they have a very large menu. The pancakes were dry and the hash brown were undercooked. There are many better breakfast options in this part of town. The staff was nice and they were willing to swap out my lackluster frittata. read more

This place is the best! My husband and I enjoyed our skillet and pancakes that we were able to split. The portion was gigantic so I'm glad we didn't order two breakfast entrees. Everything was cooked to perfection and our server was vet attentive. Price is good considering how fresh everything tasted. Highly recommended:) read more

Everything was great, friendly service. Tried the butcher block skillet and it was just what I was looking for.

Great place for breakfast ask for Guzel to wait on you. She is excellent and very attentive to you. We ate there 2x for breakfast both meals were great I highly recommend the little billy and get bananas crepes. The crepes are excellent Guzel gets KUDOS for service next visit we'll be back read more

Came in for a late breakfast and Eggs Cafe certainly did not disappoint. Coffee was hot and fresh! I had 2 eggs with corned beef hash and pancakes instead of toast (no additional charge) and frankly it was so much food that I couldn't eat the whole thing. My friend had a asparagus and swiss omelette with a fruit cup instead of hash browns (no additional charge). The eggs were fluffy and it was also huge! I would definitely come back again! read more

I loved this place; wish I found it sooner on my stay. It's a bit hard to find, but that's a good thing because I'm guessing thats why there was no wait time for a table on a sunday morning because the food was excellent. Our server was amazing. I think her name started with an S. Hands down the best breakfast and server we had while being in chicago for the week. read more

Very nice quaint place nothing fancy just good food and good service. Cheap and delicious. Excellent waitress. Food came out quick. Just around the corner from our Hilton hotel. If you're looking for something nice and quick come here. read more

This place was mediocre at best. No wait. Service was very good. Portions were larger, but the food in general wasn't anything special.

I guess all of their employees are trained to think all black people deliver for door dash or Uber eats.. I was highly offended when upon visiting here. I've been here before and the service was mediocre but since it's busy in the city I decided to come back and grab brunch quickly. Well, I waited for the host for 5+ minutes employees and waitresses just walking pass nobody acknowledged me and after waiting for so long, I decided to look around the corner and the host is leaning against the counter near the coffee machine. She sees me and walks to the kitchen and than comes to the front. When she comes she says are you picking up someone's order? I said, excuse me? I'm waiting to be seated. I was very confused as to why she would think I'm picking up someone's order when I have a floral dress with a bold-color purse not a hot bag for food deliveries. I felt insulted, because what do you think only black people come in for door dash and Uber eats deliveries?? I told her I'll go somewhere else that was offensive. No apology given she says okay. So I called the store to speak with the manager but was told he was busy with orders in the back. So I decided to post this here and I'll be calling the city to file a complaint for what I feel was discrimination or cultural insensitivity. read more
