Great sit down breakfast place! I had one of their skillets specials and loved it their pancakes are fluffy and buttery. The attendant was super helpful and fast to get the order in. I chose a quiet booth making the experience quiet and confo read more

Eggsellent Cafe - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Jonesboro, Arkansas

A true hole in the wall, nothing fancy and no frills. We had Belgium waffles, "wraps", omelets and a hash. Everything was tasty, came out prompt and priced appropriately. The fresh squeezed orange juice is a little pricey but I found it worth it. Our waitress was attentive but not overbearing. Worth the stop when we are in town. read more

Okay, hear me out, 1,000 STARS IF POSSIBLE!!! What?! This place was AMAZING! The breakfast burrito thing we both got pictured below... PHENOMENAL! And the PRICES?! SO CHEAP FOR WHAT YOU GOT!! Maybe I am just a little excited for how cheap and how good the food is, but how could you not be? 2 juices and 2 breakfast burritos for the 2 of us equaling a total of $25 pre tip. I know things are cheaper in the south (we are true city people from the northeast), but this was great on our road trip driving through the south on our quest to see all 50 states (and on our way to the National Championship game!) Breakfast burrito was on a flour tortilla, with egg, cheese, bacon AND sausage (NYC could never for those prices), and hasbrowns on the side. I wish we could have had more food there! The service was also amazing! Cute little mom and pop diner that I'm assuming gets a lot of college kids from the nearby ASU. Server was so nice and sweet, food came out quickly, and overall great time! The perfect little random read more

When we walked in it just felt dirty. Our table wasn't clean and I couldn't get past it. The eggs, sausage and ham were good but the hash browns tasted greasy and we couldn't eat them. The waitress was very nice and accommodating. If they were in a different location it would be so much better. read more

Best breakfast in town. Fast friendly service. Eggsellent menu with lots of options! Staff is amazing

Was very good food the staff was very nice never had to ask for anything she brought it to us always made sure our cups were full

Local dive specializing in diner style food. Service was "small town friendly". Place was about 80% capacity on a Saturday morning. Daughter got the chocolate chip waffle, wife and I tried "skillets" (she had the Corned Beef, and would have liked a little more of the meat). Mine was the Hobo Skillet. A hefty serving of hash browns with cheese, with two eggs cooked to taste (mine were scrambled), and a "side": toast, biscuit, grits or (get this) two pancakes! I had the biscuit...soft...not as dense as I prefer, eggs were folded (a little chewy), which brings us to the hash browns...these brought back memories! Crispy outside, tender inside and, oh, so greasy! I would suggest maybe adding a little seasoning to the potatoes. I try not to use too much table salt, but had to dose the food twice. About $50.00 for the three of us with beverages. read more

It's a nice average decor little cafe. The service was excellent and the food was really good, everyone enjoyed what they ordered. I like that the food wasn't all greasy. The only recommendations I would give is to serve real butter and 100% maple syrup and that would put it over the top. read more

Food was amazing! If you're looking for a great breakfast alternative to iHop, Cracker Barrel or Waffle House, give them a try! read more

Food was delicious, service was good, and the price was on point. I would say the portions are somewhat small compared to other places, but I left full and feeling good instead of being overly stuffed like I do at some places. Will go back. read more

Since moving to Jonesboro 3 years ago we've been looking for the comfort food that serve here. Open face roast beef sandwiches, club sandwiches. Service is swift and attentive. You can tell the "locals" love it as they seem busy with return customers. read more

Large amounts of delicious food with fast, excellent service. It was our first time and we will definitely return!

I had a very disappointing experience. After I paid $30 cash to a waiter with a $10 tip for $20 food I was walking to leave when I was stopped at the door by 2 staff members and asked if I paid. I was shocked and upset that I was questioned. I said it was not right that they were questioning me after I paid them already at the table. One of them said sorry the other just looked expressionless without any remorse or word of sorry. In my 60 years of life no body had questioned me or implied that I would actually try to leave without paying. I am a Professor and a doctor by profession and I couldn't help but think this was something to do with my minority race (Indian) but I brushed it off since I never have felt discriminated like that before ( perhaps I was lucky so far or may be this was nothing to do with discrimination). But for a stupid $20 dollar. I felt foolish because I never keep the receipt with me and never ask for it. I learned it now and advise the customers to make sure you ask for receipts so you can throw it in their faces at the door if they dare become discourteous to you. They didn't pursue me seeing my face that they've upset me so much. Disgusted I walked out the door never to enter this place ever again. read more

I get the Gypsy skillet faithfully, my wife loves the biscuits and sausage gravy with bone in ham. They're usually so busy that we just order to go. It's always hot, never had any problems read more

The food was cold I had two eggs fried hard , gritz and a side of biscuits the biscuit would not even melt my butter! The hash browns tasted like they had been cooked on a dirty grill an hour so before . Now the eggs were perfectly cooked all done the way I like them. I warmed them up with the grits. Bacon was a bit over cooked . The waitress that took my order , we did not see her again until she brought the bill. The other two waitresses were kinda enough to offer to fill my coffee that was weak . Over all it was not worth the 32.00 dollars we paid . It was about 12.00 bucks to much. read more

Food and staff are amazing, I've been eating there for 3 years now and have never had a bad experience.

Eggsellent Cafe - Banana Nutella Pancakes - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Jonesboro, Arkansas

Went here because my other choice had a long wait. Food was very average, nothing special for breakfast that would draw us back anytime soon. read more

A great place to eat depending on when you go. The best time is noon to 2:00 during the week. The food and service are usually excellent. AVOID A WEEKEND MORNING! The place gets filled to capacity and there aren't nearly enough servers to handle the crowd. They try, bless heir hearts, but the place should really hire more help. If you go on a Saturday morning to noon, I hope you don't have anywhere else you need to be. The omelets are very tasty. You. Will. Get. Full! The patty melt is my favorite! And I love their chicken and dumplings. The pancakes, though, can be alright to okay, depending on what kind of pancake day it is that day. They have a pretty good burger, too. The place is usually fairly thin on a weekday noon to afternoon, so you stand a better chance of food and service coming around on time then. read more

Eggsellent Cafe - The American omelet without green peppers. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Jonesboro, Arkansas

They are becoming a busy place and need a hostess for their busy times or a better system for the people waiting. As was said in another review we had to wait about ten minutes just to put our names on a list of people to seat. Then we waited another 20 minutes to sit. It's not the wait it's the disorganized feeling during the wait. I kept feeling like I wasn't going to get seated. We have now been here an hour and I only have coffee, butter, jelly ketchup, and syrup in front of me. We thought we were coming in with enough time to eat before we had to pick up our child from a play date but we are probably going to have to get our food to go. We did not get to actually eat the food because it came too late. The girl asked was everything all right and I couldn't answer about the food because we had to leave to pick up our kids before we ate and it was in to go boxes. We went in with nearly two hours to spare before we had to get the kids and left out of there running late to get them. Their system is broken and if they don't figure out a better way they are going to lose business because several people walked out without trying to wait. Overall I may be a little generous with the stars because having taken one bite of my skillet it is a little tasteless. Which is extremely disappointing because I feel like I went through a lot to get my food. Sigh. read more

Eggsellent Cafe - Gypsy scramble - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Jonesboro, Arkansas

wow hot fresh fast the service always wonderful the gravy and chicken fry yummie i have now been several times man am i full

Not really sure about this place. The walls look dirty and ceiling looks leaky. My table was sticky and the food was slightly cold.

Hungry? Come here. Hungry for breakfast? Definitely come here! Here's the deal about Eggsellent Cafe - they load you down with food. I've tried several different items off their menu and honestly I haven't been disappointed. My favorite thing to get is anything with 'skillet' in the name. Basically it's a hodgepodge of various ingredients mixed together. Kinda like an omelet, but kinda like scramble eggs. I love it. Besides the food being good the price is very reasonable. Especially for the amount of food you get. They're gonna load your plate down when you come to Eggsellent Cafe. So be ready to eat. Their bacon is always crisp; their eggs are cooked to order; their toast is perfect... This is my favorite breakfast joint. Forget the international place; never mind the cracker place; skip the waffle place... come to Eggsellent Cafe! read more

I'm only docking a star because of the ambiance here. The breakfast we had was good. The portions were absolutely huge! If I'd have known there would be 4 large pieces of bacon with my egg and half a plate of hash browns I would've shared with my daughter instead of ordering two plates. The prices were very reasonable for the size of portion you get. My only complaint is that it's very noisy. The tables are all in one small room and we basically had to yell to speak over everyone else. Otherwise a good decent meal for a reasonable price. read more

If you miss the cafes that used to be so good for breakfast, go to this place for the experience of a time gone by. Do wish they still made their gravy and biscuits from scratch. But guess that day and time is truly gone just like real mashed potatoes. So look past the blades of grass not being professionally manicured as you go in and relish the mom and pop decor as you enter this place to enjoy a tasty breakfast. read more

Beyond doubt, the worst breakfast I've had and I'm in my 60's. Do not order eggs Benedict, the eggs were over cooked, the yokes were hard as hard boiled and the sauce was, I'm not sure what it was. Potatoes were under cooked. Waitress never stopped by to check on us after delivering the food. read more

Great value ... Pretty inexpensive and, although the food is OK, the portion size is filling for me which keeps me happy. Important to keep in mind that I usually grab a to-go order ... Saturday mornings are packed! From what I observe, they probably should hire more people since servers seem few and there isn't a host/hostess at the front. As a result, there are people waiting just to put their names in and it isn't the most welcoming restaurant when you come in. Overall, a great stop for food but be prepared to wait a bit if you come during the breakfast rush! read more

The eggs were great, the hashbrowns could have been cooked more, but the pancakes had no taste and could have been a lot better. read more

Good spot for a big breakfast with friendly service and plenty of creative omelette options.

I'm a first time visitor to Jonesboro and just looking for a really good breakfast. This was just what the doctor ordered. A very friendly staff and awesome menu of eggs bacon sausage and the rest. Food was great, service was great and the price was right! If I come back to Jonesboro, I will be back to the Eggsellent Café! read more

We are there earlier this week for the first time and I will guarantee we will be back. Great food, a lot of choices and really good prices. The service was good and the restaurant was clean. read more

Me and a group of 5 other guys were looking for breakfast other than cracker barrel. The food here was great! Very nice portions and reasonbly priced. It is your classic hole in the wall local cafe. The Jonsboro police is right across the street and the whole detective devision came for breakfast. All the locals seem to eat here as it was packed. That should tell you something. However, the decor is old and dated and the place is run down. One of the cooks looked like he roled off his cot and walked into the kitchen. They spilled an entire cup of water on the floor in the dining area and the waiter thru some paper towels on it and left it that way the entire meal. Real slobby like. So some pros and cons with it. read more

This is the second time we've been here. the first was pretty good, but this time was not. In the window sill, it was nasty. I couldn't look too closely, but it could have been mouse droppings? Something nasty. the bench seats are ripped and the whole place is slick from grease and needs a major renovation. The staff is super friendly, but the food was a definite decline in the last few months. The eggs were overdone, the hash browns had way too many onions, even for a person who likes onions, the skillet was missing ingredients, the service was so slow, we never got our drinks refilled or an opportunity to track down a server. read more

The servings here are huge! And the food is perfectly cooked. Service was great. People have commented on the "run down" building/interior. I think it was perfectly fine. It is an older building. And it isn't highly decorated or "themed" but it was clean and comfortable and bright. If you want a great breakfast at a great price with great service, please come here. You won't be disappointed. There's a reason the place is consistently packed! read more

I ordered a grilled chicken salad to go with some other items. When opened the box there was iceberg lettuce, a few pieces of diced tomato, some pieces of chicken and a clump of finely shredded cheddar cheese. I was concerned when I noticed the cheese was completely melted. The lettuce was hot as was the tomato. The chicken was room temp and dry. The dressing was also room temp. I ate the chicken and dumped the rest. I have no desire to try anything else here. read more

This place was absolutely amazing! I wish they were open later than 2! The portions are huge. I got the skillet with ham and cheese in it and instead of the regular sides I got chocolate biscuits and gravy, which was so much. This was our first time coming here and I wasn't prepared haha. The omelets are huge as well. I agree with the review that says forget the international house of whatever, forget the cracker whatever, this place is where it's at! (And y'all, I love Cracker Barrel) if they had more than 5 stars they'd get it!! read more

Eggsellent Cafe - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Jonesboro, Arkansas

The restaurant is one of the worst places I have been to. There was only one server who was waiting tables, running the cash register and seating new customers. I waited 10 minutes and others were seated before me. The one person working the dining room was so busy she was not able to keep up. read more

My husband and I have been there several times. We took the 3 grandchildren with us this time. My oldest grandchild said she did not want eggs as soon as we pulled into park. Their sign has a sunny side up egg on it and she thought that was all they served. My husband ordered a breakfast skillet and as always way more than he could eat. I got all the kids grilled cheese sandwiches with fries. Their plates came out with what seemed like a small mountain of fries on top of their sandwiches. I ordered the Rib Eye medium well with fries and a salad. The steak was so juicy and tender that it just melted in my mouth. It is perfectly seasoned as well. I use steak sauce on my steaks but not much at all. It is more to add more flavor to my steak out of habit. They were very busy and we had to wait to be seated but that was fine with me. The food is so delicious and the service is great that I would wait every time. Yes today they were extremely busy and somethings were forgotten but when we mentioned it to them it was taken care of promptly. When my grandson saw his food coming he yelled "YEA!!!" and started giggling and wiggling with excitement. The young lady serving him said she gets excited like that too and that made him even more excited. I just have one suggestion for them regarding children and the bathrooms.I always make my grandchildren wash their hands after a bathroom trip and with COVID-19 it is a must do process. Well my grandchildren are short and the type of sink they have is a large bowl style that makes it hard for them to wash their hands. My suggestion is to either 1) change it to a regular sink, 2) put a step they can use or 3) install a kid friendly sink that is adjoined to the taller adult one. Thanks for always having great food and service. read more
