This treasure is secretly placed by the cherryvale mall, it's insides looking trendy, and modern. But worry not, it's guests are not all younglings, but people of many ages and colors! It's menu is simple: not too many choices, you will either love that or hate it. It's prices very from 8-12$ a dish, on the IHOP price side, but its portions are very big so you will not feel scammed. Not only is the food delicious but it's more camera ready then a senior girl on prom night! The staff is very friendly and our waitress did not let my coffee get even half empty- annoying if your trying to finish your coffee, but alas it was nice. Come in early though, this is not IHOP where you can go if you crave hot cakes at 6pm. They close at 2pm. And they are not a fast food place so be curtageous and come at a early enough time. read more

This place used to be a lot better, once they changed their menu and took off several favorites, it seems that their quality also declined. Breakfasts aren't as fresh as they used to be sadly very disappointing read more

Neighborhood eats with upscale menu. Deliciously prepared fresh ingredients. A little pricey but worth the indulgence. Service is always friendly. My only beef is that they aren't open in the evening. Love this food! read more

Looking for a breakfast spot while in Rockford and YELP directed us here. We got there about 8 and, even though it is Saturday, we didn't have a wait. Our server brought our coffee quickly then left us to look over the menu. She was gone for quite a while and we were about to check with the hostess when she finally showed back up. Everything went very smoothly after that. Our food came out very quickly. I had the eggs Benedict with 3 breakfast meats. It was really good. It came with potatoes but I would get the fruit next time. The potatoes are nothing special. My husband got the BLT with a fried egg and fruit. He said it was ok. It is a huge sandwich. We would go again. read more

Very nice breakfast and brunch food. The French toast was delicious. My son got the cinABon French toast which was Awesome. My friend got the strawberry Nutella and she was ecstatic!! The service was great. Food was fresh. Even the orange juice was freshly squeezed and super. Definitely a come back and visit!! read more

Great: * The food * Fresh-squeezed OJ * Nice waitstaff * Great options for kids Not great * So loud * Please, please get some sound-diffusing panels installed * No really, the acoustics are so loud at breakfast that I have to yell to talk to anyone any my own table. It's not what I want to remember about an otherwise decent meal * Very loud * Loud read more

I'm just not a fan. The set up makes it so loud that you have to lean in to hear the person you are with. The tables are packed tightly together. My husband described it as a cafeteria feel to it. It's not a place where you can relax and enjoy your breakfast. The portions are just ridiculously huge. If I was European I would think to myself "so this is why America is so fat". To me the portion size is not a positive. I'm sure it will be for all the gluttons out there. It's definitely a size that warrants splitting & you would still probably have leftovers. I got the Mexicans skillet & only ate less than a third of it because it was so huge. Take note too that It was very spicy. My husband got an omelet which was made with 5 eggs. Again ridiculous. He got the pancake side which came with 2 large pancakes. He thought the potatoes that also came with it were 1/2 a bag easily. When I had difficulty deciding I my order I asked the server for suggestions and all she said was so you need more time? She couldn't even explain the different styles of eggs to me and my husband had to. Our total for 2 meals & coffee was $24. I see the owners are two young guys who had success with their first location in Sycamore. They do appear to be trying hard to make this second location a success & that can be appreciated. The food was good but I'm just not a fan of the concept. Too big, too loud, too annoying. I won't return. But everyone else loves it. read more

Eggsclusive Cafe - This is all I could manage to eat. The portion is so huge! To me that is not a positive. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Rockford, Illinois

So my wife and I decided to try this restaurant based solely on the reviews. We were seated promptly and were greeted by our waiter. He made a few suggestions and told us a little bit about the place since it was our first time there. We were surprised with the selections they have on the menu including the drinks. We ordered, and were served in a timely manner. We were amazed and impressed with both the quantity and quality of the food. I think we ended up bringing home half our breakfast! It was very good and we will be back! Thank you! read more

Food was good, presentation was amazing, but it's very overpriced in my opinion. Considering eggs are generally only a couple pennies each, paying over $10 for a plate of eggs with toast is a bit extreme. Would go more often if it wasn't quite so expensive. Three people and our bill was over $55, and we didn't get anything special or any special drinks. read more

We had an amazing breakfast there over the weekend. We ordered the lemon blueberry pancakes, hash Benedict, those two were my favorites. We also ordered a meat skillet, fresh squeezed oj, and coffee. We definitely reccomend this place and will be back. read more

Uh, *wow* on your response ec ... not sure I will go there again now. Getting constructive advice is what businesses should want, not insult their customers calling their preferences 'old school'. We prefer 'happening' places, but at capacity, like I said in my comment, it was loud enough to hear the people's conversation on the other side of the room. You are a breakfast place, NOT a night club, correct? We like energy in a restaurant, I prefer to hear the person who is at my table, not across the room. Maybe keeping your ego in check will help you on these reviews. It's meant to help, not insult. Opposite of the tone in your response. Oh, and no comment on the flies, I see. Really, don't take it personal - use it to improve your business not to insult reviewers. Update: At least EC apologized - that was classy. No worries EC, and it IS nice to hear that owners care. But less 'attack' mode will go along way to not make people feel they are being insulted. You obviously care about your business and I'm sure you will continue to be successful. We are in your area at least once a year, so we will stop back next time we are in town. Loved the eggs Bennie - I want to try a different kind next time :) read more

I thought this place was pretty good however the menu was slightly limited (which was okay for me as there were a few things that I thought looked delicious). Very bright and clean restaurant. Comfortable booths and ample parking right near the mall. Our server was very attentive and friendly. The coffee was pretty good although I would have preferred it in a larger mug. I emptied it quickly and don't really know how much I drank since they were smaller mugs. The food looked fresh and was very tasty. I just wish they didn't use as much oil/butter as the eggs were greasy. The Belgium waffle was perfect as well as the bacon. I will definitely come back here next time I am in the area. But I will ask for them to use less fat in the cooking preparation. read more

Awesome breakfast and a huge portion. I had one of their 5 egg omelettes with so many breakfast potatoes I couldn't finish them and my brother had a breakfast burrito that was gigantic with a black bean and quinoa hash with a large bowl of fruit. Terrific way to start the day. read more

The employees were friendly and the service was speedy. I carried out a combo 3 with an extra side of fruit. Everything was tasty and it was ready upon my arrival. I'd recommend going if you're near the area and want a quick meal. The portions were large and really filling; me and my girlfriend were able to split a meal and both feel satisfied. However, nothing blew me away. I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here but if I was in the area I would eat here again read more

I've heard so many good things about eggsclusive & seen so many pictures, I had to try it out for myself. They give such big portions here for a very good price! I ordered the butcher eggs benedict with the side of house potatoes. This is one of those dishes that you can only eat once in a long while because of all the grease and sodium loaded on this plate! The English muffin underneath the pile of sausage and bacon was soaked in oil but surprisingly remained toasted! Haha I was a little disappointed on the poached egg on top because it was slightly overcooked. The meat was very salty which made everything else a little on the salty side. The potatoes were nice and crispy, just the way that I like them! I also has a sample of my sisters mexican skillet, that was beyond delicious! As far as service went, it wasn't the best. At least with the server we had that day. He made our dining experience a little awkward because he wasn't very polite and never came back for our water refills. About less than 10 minutes into our meal, he came back to ask us if we needed boxes, which I thought was odd because we were still enjoying our meal. We told him that we might need one a little later but not at this moment. He came back less than a minute later and gave us 1 box. This made me feel really unwelcome and rushed. Later on we had to ask him for another box since we both couldn't finish our food & he only gave us 1. And he didn't even offer us a bag to carry the boxes in, we seen other servers giving their tables plastic bags along with boxes. Overall, food is great! I will definitely be back & hopefully I will have a better experience. I would have given this review 5 stars but the service was just that bad. read more

This is probably the best breakfast I've ever had! We aren't from the area, just passing through for work, and we originally went to the Machine Shed restaurant, but after being seated in a basically empty restaurant (4 tables of customers including ourselves) and then waiting 5 minutes without being acknowledged we got up and left. I then found Eggsclusive through Yelp and we decided to come here. We were immediately seated upon entry. The restaurant was very clean, organized, and bright. It was a perfect morning atmosphere. Kaylie (spelling?) greeted us almost immediately after being seated and grabbed drinks for us. She was cheerful and very knowledgeable about the menu. We ordered our breakfast and didn't have to wait long before our plates were delivered. The food presentation was attractive and the portions were very generous. The taste was well above the standard breakfast food, with very unique combinations that definitely made breakfast an enjoyable experience. I would definitely recommend this restaurant if you are anywhere in the area and we absolutely will visit again if we are passing through. Thanks for the excellent service....it's beyond appreciated!! :) read more

There are a few wonderful things about eating at Eggsclusive. 1. The waitress Jackie was a pleasure and took excellent care of five adults and one four year old. Making sure we got the correct food, answering numerous questions, getting our food to the correct person. Her smile and welcoming demeanor makes my group want to come back! Never STOP Jackie because you are a very special person! 2. The food was out standing. read more

Food is good Prices moderate Portions are unusually large Need a more consistency in the food. Sometimes there is too much salt and sometimes lack there of. read more

So I have to say the food at this place is out of this world. The portions are amazing, the flavor's send your taste buds exploding for joy. I frequent this place often with my pastor for late breakfast and never have any complaints, until recently. I called in an order, well I tried to at least. I called in at 1:35 (now I understand they close at 2pm but it was 1:35pm) so I was told sorry kitchen is closed. Really??? Well I decide to go another day and while I'm getting ready to leave I notice the time is 1:57 and they are still seating people so I asked about what happened and they said we close at 2 that's when we take last order! So what they really meant is A we don't care about your to go order Or B we close early because no one was in the restaurant and we don't care about you. My only complaint but they lost a star for that. Lesson learned go before 1pm read more

Absolute stuck up idiots here. Wouldn't recommend to my worst enemy. Save yourself the trouble and eat out of a dumps. And this my experience, they had this review removed once already. read more

Great place for brunch, lots of options on their me u as well as morning cocktails. Pros: patio under the pergola is a nice spot, great wait staff, clean well laid establishment and the food was perfectly prepared. Cons: I'm only giving this place a three star rating because their portions are ginormous and if you ask to split that you get a $2 upcharge on an already 15 dollar plate. read more

Unbelievable brunch! From the Bloody Mary to the chicken Cabo skillet to the side of pancakes... this is a must while in Rockford!

We chanced upon this place on our drive to Galena. As soon as we walked in, we noticed the diversity- of age, ethnicity- and loved it! We chose to sit in the patio and had great service. My skillet was really good, although the sizes were so massive that I could only finish half. Breakfast foods are hard to pack and reheat; I wish we didn't have to waste so much food. My partner ordered the biscuits and gravy with poached eggs. His eggs were weird and the entree was so rich he could only eat 1 of the 3 biscuits. Overall, we're a fan and wish we lived closer to try other menu items. read more

This place was great! We were seated quickly, our server was very helpful. Food was out in record time. My pancakes were room temperature and the server immediately went to the kitchen and ordered a fresh batch. They came out so hot and pillowy. She insisted that I take the earlier set with me for the next morning instead of throwing them out. I did of course because these pancakes were bomb! We will return! read more

A+ Food * I had the Southern Benedict. Delicious. I also got the potatoes which were good. However, as seeing that they were the House Potatoes I thought they'd be a little more extravagant then what they were. B- Service * out service wasn't exceptional, but it wasn't horrific either. It was just average. My only complaint would be that our waitress knew we were from out of town and yet when she handed us the checks she failed to mention that we pay at the counter. So we sat around for another five minutes after receiving our checks before we decided to just head up front and see how we were suppose to pay. read more

Eggsclusive Cafe - Southern Benedict with potatoes - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Rockford, Illinois

My family and I decided to come here on my birthday for brunch before we went out shopping at the mall. Considering it was a Friday around 11:30, it was pretty busy here. On a side note... why are all these people here? Shouldn't they be working? End side note. Anyway, we were seated pretty much right away so that was a plus. The space is pretty large, and the vaulted ceilings I think is where the excess noise comes from. It is a little noisy, but it personally didn't bother me. They have some outdoor seating too, and I would've liked to take advantage of that but it was raining the day I came so we stayed inside. Our waitress (again, I'm terrible with the names) was great! She was super friendly and checked back with us quite often and made sure that we were taken care of. I got the mimosa which, with the fresh squeezed orange juice, was great. They even have the machine out on the floor so you can see it being made, kinda cool. I opted for the Fresca Italiana omelet which has spinach, sun dried tomatoes, provolone, basil, and avocado on top. It was super tasty, and the side of roasted potatoes was perfect. One of my family members mentioned it was my birthday so we got a birthday crepe that was complimentary, which I thought was nice! And holy crap it was so good. It had mascarpone cheese on the inside with chocolate and caramel drizzled on top with whipped cream. Definitely had to share, it was super rich. The service was really top notch. I say this because my aunt wasn't happy with what she got, and the manager (or someone who seemed to have some authority) offered to have something new made for her instead. He didn't have to wait for her to ask for it, he offered it right away which I thought was great. Even if someone doesn't like one particular dish, making sure they have a good experience is a plus. I will definitely make a point to come back here the next time I'm in town! read more

Great breakfast spot! Huge portions, fresh coffee, fresh squeezed orange juice and yummy mimosas! I have been here many times and have always had a great experience. They have many options, many combos that you can change. The waitress was very accommodating, I got scrambled eggs, 1 bacon, 1 sausage link, a strawberry crepe and a mimosa. The waitress gave me an option to have Nutella drizzled on the crepe. My friend got one of the skillets and a cup of coffee, that cup was never empty and the waitress even offered a Togo cup which I think is a very nice touch. It's one of my favorite spots that I visit often & will continue to return. read more

Food is good, you get a lot for your money but their policy on "not moving furniture" (meaning if you have more than 4, they won't push tables together to accommodate the party) is ridiculous. There were 4 open tables all in a line, they were not busy and wouldn't accommodate our party of 5. Instead they were going to make us wait for a larger table to open up. Whomever made that rule needs to rethink their philosophy on customer service. read more

If you are looking for a place to sitdown and have a out of home breakfast then this is the place to go. I ordered the Eggceptional Steak and Eggs with a side of banana nut pancakes and let me tell you, its some of the the best food Ive had. First the steak was cooked to perfection, the eggs, amazing, so tasteful that is pairs perfectly with the seasoning of the steak. The potatoes were crispy and soft and the pancakes were filling and delicious. 10/10 would come back and do it again. If you are deba on a breakfast location to go in Rockford, this is the place. read more

This place was great on both the food and the service. They only had one problem. They do not have enough beef breakfast products. Once they get more beef on their menu I will come back. Corned beef hash is really not one of my favorite and I would not buy in any store. read more

Almost as good as wilberry in schaumburg. I wish they added new things to their menu though

The full parking lot and crowded entry nearly scared us off. Fortunately their quick service moved people through faster than we expected. Preferred the Cinnabomb french toast with cinnamon butter. It was REMARKABLE. Crisp exterior, soft interior- the best of both worlds! Would be 5-Star, but this was a pit stop on a road trip-they need to be closer to where I live. Also, some wall decorations would be nice. read more

We arrived with 5 adults and a baby. We put our name down and were told we had to wait 15-20 min for a table. After waiting, we were told that there was no way they could accommodate our party size due to COVID but we could split up and sit in different tables, 2 feet from each other. The manager was rude and unpleasant and basically showed us the door when we asked if we could move a chair next to a booth or put two tables together. Terrible service and rude employees. read more
