First time at Eggcellent Cafe and it was a really solid way to start a Sunday morning. My wife and I dined in and I was honestly surprised by how quiet it was. No packed entryway, no feeling rushed, just a relaxed vibe that made it easy to actually enjoy the meal. I ordered the chicken fried steak with pancakes, which is pretty much my benchmark order anywhere that offers it. Portions were generous and everything came out quickly. The pancakes were exactly what you want from a breakfast spot and the chicken fried steak hit that comfort food lane without feeling heavy or sloppy. Where they really shined was the service. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and clearly on top of things. Food came out fast, drinks stayed filled, and it never felt chaotic or disorganized. That kind of consistency goes a long way for me, especially at breakfast spots where timing and flow matter. All that said, it lands firmly at four stars for me. The food was good and the experience was smooth, it just didn't quite cross into that five star, must go out of your way territory. And that's okay. Not everything has to be mind blowing to be worth coming back to. We both left happy and full, which is honestly the goal. I'd definitely return and would recommend it if you're looking for a reliable, low stress breakfast spot in Frisco. read more

Oh how things have changed! This place was always our go to brunch place! But the service has gone downhill. Other reviews here mirror the same. As soon as we stepped in, place was not very busy and hostess wouldn't put our name and my wife had to insist and looked like they did not anticipate mother's day traffic. We were table of 6, it took Atleast 20 mins to get a table even though restaurant was not very busy when we got there. We ordered the food, Santa Fe skillets and veggie skillets with some variations Food was great, but service left us lot to be desired read more

I'm a big fan of diner-style brunch spots, so I really wanted to like this place but unfortunately the service fell flat from the start. We were kinda sorta greeted by a young hostess who seemed unsure of what to do. Moments later, an older woman came up and dressed her down in front of us for stepping away to check on our table. It was awkward, unprofessional, and set a tense tone. She then led us to our table, grumbling the whole way about the girl, who was apparently a daughter of one of the waitresses. It was all too much information and not exactly the warm welcome you hope to start brunch. The food was decent but took longer than expected, and there were misses along the way. The bacon wasn't crispy (my personal cardinal sin for any breakfast spot), and overall service felt inattentive. We repeatedly had to flag someone down for basics like water, coffee refills, and silverware. Overall a decent breakfast, but an out-of-sync staff made the whole experience feel more chaotic than enjoyable. read more

Hubby and I arrived on a Sunday for brunch and the place was packed. I ordered the chicken fried chicken with eggs, hashbrowns, and a pancake. The eggs were the best I've ever eaten (no lie). Hubby opted for the traditional breakfast, with grilled chicken sausage, eggs, grits, and toast. This cafe does not serve mimosas so we both ordered water with lemon. The service, food and staff were great. Five stars to Eggsellent Cafe. I'll be back for another amazing cheat meal real soon. read more

I eat here at least 2 or 3 times a month and would come daily if possible! My partner and I have tried maybe half of the menu and always leave satisfied. Most of it is typical American diner food but everything tastes better here. My go to is the Bomber burger, it honestly needs to be on the best burgers in DFW list! The steak and eggs are always a good move as well as the skillets! The service is always excellent, and I never feel neglected, no matter how packed and busy they are! read more

This is our go to spot for dine in and pick up breakfast. It's always tasty and fresh. The staff is always so friendly and welcoming.

This restaurant has improved a lot since I was here last. I was seated promptly and my order taken within a few minutes. Food came out quickly. Everything was correct, bacon and eggs cooked perfectly. Their biscuits and gravy are among the better that I've had. Prices are reasonable but on the high end. Waitress was friendly and attentive. read more

I am honestly baffled by the high ratings. Was this just a bad day for us? We had the eggselent skillet and eggs Benedict. The eggs Benedict was the worst I have ever had. The highlight of the dish was the poached egg. The hollandaise was extremely thick and overpowering, the Canadian bacon had no flavor, and the only other flavor was coming from the stale muffin drenched in cheap butter. The hashbrowns -- I understand they are not supposed to have much flavor, but please put some salt and pepper there (or borrow from the hollandaise). They looked nothing like the eggs Benedict photo that comes up for this restaurant on yelp. As for the skillet, nothing special, but the accompanying pancakes were disappointingly stodgy. Also, everything smelt of old fat. The service was okay, food came in time, the place was clean etcetera. We won't go back, but I would give a benefit of doubt, and say this was a once in a while mishap. Which is why I put three stars, or else I would do two. read more

My friends are here from Cali, took them here before they head to the airport. It's ridiculous how they automatically charged 22% gratuity when the server barely pay attention on our table, forgot to bring my coffee and forgot one of our dish. Not sure if the server did it on purpose or what? I haded her my card first because I know for sure my guests from Cali would want to pay. Prob she knows I wouldn't argue with her as I've got guests here. I own multiple restaurants and I've never seen any local restaurant would charge customer 22% gratuity. Even if my business would charge gratuitous, the Average usually goes from 15-18% I wouldn't mind if the server have excellent service just like their restaurant name but she forgot to bring me my coffee and she even forgot one of my guest order and I couldn't flag her down because she was chatting with her regulars with her back on me. Food was just average American style restaurant, nothing special. read more

Eggsellent Cafe - 22% gratuity added? - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Frisco, Texas

Food was very good. Wait staff can use some improvement. Items did not come out for order had too make repeated request for missing items, and refills on drinks. The system need to be more organized. For example you have to bring syrup with multiple orders of pancakes. You should check en route to another table. Other than. That, the food was very good. I had pancakes, fresh fruit, omelet and grits. They all were very good. At our table we had 6 people with 6 different orders. The Santa Fe skillet was good. The avocado toast, eggs, breakfast meats was great. We spent over 1 $100for six people. So be careful what you order. The ambiance was a noisy cafe read more

I ordered food from here on door dash, hoping it would come the way it was supposed to. I have never had an issue with receiving the wrong food or wrong order. But I received a completely wrong order that was not mine. I spent 60 dollars on food here and they gave the dasher the wrong order that had maybe half the food that I was supposed to get. This was very disappointing since I paid for food and didn't even get it. I would advice for you to train your front of house better since they were the ones that gave the dasher the wrong order, with the wrong name. read more

On FM423 & Eldorado. I was there about three months ago. All was good except, sunny-side eggs where medium size and not "very eggy" It surprised me. I'll try again. read more

Delicious breakfast spot! Very quick service which is excellent if you're in a hurry. The yogurt and granola was delicious along with the crispy bacon on the side. My boyfriend enjoyed the buttermilk pancakes which were also good. There is a good variety of food options on the menu and is a family friendly breakfast place. read more

I ordered the Salmon Benedict and I'm uncertain if I have food poisoning now. The salmon was very very gross and had frozen-like qualities. Hash browns were blah. Restaurant was dirty, waitresses did not ask us how the food was, and the prices were a bit too high for the quality that was presented. I could have made a better breakfast at home by cracking two eggs over a skillet and lightly seasoning with salt and pepper. read more

Food was marginal. Don't pay for the bananas foster pancakes. It's an up charge of $2.50 for 6 slices of banana and a tablespoon of bottled caramel sauce squirted over the top. Service was horrendous and we got to watch all the door dash drivers come in and be virtually ignored until they were able to catch someone to help them. One of them was told he would have to wait 10 minutes for his order to be ready. Maybe the servers were having a bad day because it was Father's Day but they were grouchy and did not want to be there. All in all it was not a very good Father's Day experience for my husband. read more

This place was packed but definitely worth the wait. Our waiter was so sweet and patient as my mom was very indecisive on what to order. I ordered crepes and asked them to not use as much sugar, which they did. My crepes were perfect. Mom decided on an omelette and grits which she enjoyed. Definitely worth the wait to eat here.! read more

When we got there we noticed the place wasn't busy. That should have been our first clue. There was 5 of us. One of the kids ordered a waffle. Nothing special just a typical doughy waffle. They charged us $10 dollars for it. Then we found a really long hair in one of our pancakes. Was at least 8 inches long. It was a black hair and everyone at our table had blonde hair. Then the manager came by and made excuses for her cooks and said none of them have long hair. Her idea of fixing the problem was comping one meal and giving us new pancakes. At that point we were all done with it and didn't want anything else from them. We are extremely disappointed in the lack of responsibility. It was almost as if they weren't even surprised by it. We were charged for everything else including a 10 dollar waffle. In my opinion they had an opportunity to correct a problem and they didnt. Terrible customer service. Food was fine until it wasnt. With everything costing so much these days you would think they would appreciate the people who butter their bread. Very sad world we live in. read more

This place is awesome!! Food is great. Reasonable prices. I usually order the steak and eggs. With two sides included. Only 15 bucks!! I double down on the potatoes which are so crispy and cooked to perfection every time. French toast is delicious, and so are the crapes. If you're looking for a new breakfast spot. This is it!! read more

This is a 2.5 star review - in summary, this is an average breakfast place (humbly my opinion of course). Pretty decent coffee, friendly staff and servers, but the food is underwhelming. My omelette used sliced cheese (good places use shredded), hash browns were underdone and a lot of salt/pepper/ketchup was needed to add flavor. For the same price, Original Pancake House off DNT & 121 is worth the extra 15 minute drive for a much better breakfast experience. Don't waste your calories on an average meal. read more

Had a chance to eat here on two mornings last week. Food and service was great. Had the biscuits with cream gravy (they also have sausage gravy) and a side of bacon on the first visit. Wife had breakfast tacos. Second visit I repeated my meal. I knocked my drink over onto my bacon plate. My server quickly helped me clean up and brought me a fresh drink and fresh bacon! That was beyond necessary as it was totally my clumsiness that caused it but I sure appreciated them doing that for me. A great cafe and I'll be back on my next visit to Little Elm/Frisco read more

100% wow!!! holly cow!!! super duper food & awesome service from marsha & the whole crew!!!

Unfortunately the food was so bland. The service was good don't get me wrong !i personally would spend my money elswhere

One of the local go-to places for brunch, including Sundays, and is worth the occasional 30-minute wait. Their omelets are always made well, and they have a nice variety of benedicts and skillet options. I'm a meat lover, and the skillet of the same name is worthy of that title! The service is top-notch, very responsive and supportive of both the latest requirements while making guests feel comfortable. When I have guests in town overnight, this is one of the places I recommend we take them the following morning. read more

Food was normal breakfast food, but triple the normal price for some reason. Inflation doesn't make pancakes 18$ !! simply put way too expensive 25$ for steak and eggs. I won't be back I'll cook at home for a week for one meal here! No thanks read more

Steffani and Marsha were Outstanding to have as servers. The food is really good and a great band for your buck on price!!

This is our first time trying this place as it attracted our attention due to the many selections of food items on the menu. We are traveling through Texas trying different types of restaurants and today we decided to come here and get some delicious breakfast. I want to start by saying the atmosphere and vibe at this place is very pleasing and welcoming. I went with the veggie omelette and a side of very berry pancakes and OMG the delicacy of both food items are SPLENDID. The omelette was cooked to perfection topped with some side avocado and filled with peppers,tomatoes,Spinach etc. it left me wanting more but it was extremely filling. The very berry pancakes were so delicious like something I've never had before the taste and texture of the pancakes were flavorful and delightful. I definitely recommend this place for anybody wanting to get a quick bite or just driving through town on a lazy weekday or weekend. read more

Food was a mixed bag. Enjoyed the crepes and pancakes, but the sausage patty was dry and tasteless. Coffee was good but slow on service. Cooking was inconsistent with one omelette browned and accompanying hash browns on the light side, but another omelette cooked on lighter side with much darker hash browns. I feel their size and seating is targeted for groups of 4 or less, which is maybe one of the reasons behind their automatic 22% gratuity...charged AFTER tax for groups of 6 or more. Could not find this on the website and did not see it on the menu until revisiting it after the bill came. Our group was very easy to serve...this charge was excessive. Enjoy the money...we will not be returning. read more

Great breakfast spot out in Frisco (as the scores of reviews attest to)! Wear you stretchy pants because the servings are generous! And be prepared for a wait (especially on weekends) but the service is fast so the waits aren't terribly bad.

My family and I (which was a party of 11) came in on July 9th. Dylan was our server & I must say he did an AMAZING job. He was quick with offering suggestions on what to order, observant with drinks and when to refill them & very accommodating when it came to replacing what I had ordered for something else. If you're in the Little Elm area & you're looking for a variety of breakfast or brunch food, I would definitely recommend coming here. It's an added bonus if you can also have Dylan as your server ! read more

A good place to stop in to grab brunch. It has a wide array of food and it's very nice to go especially during the week. Make sure you are aware during the weekend it can get really busy, so be prepared ahead of time. The food is really good, and the basic eggs and pancakes are great. I really enjoyed their pancakes, and the last time we went it was very quite for a weekday for a late morning breakfast! read more
