Eggspectation - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Newark, Delaware

Great food and drinks. I got the lobster Benny which was great but I have a big appetite so I felt like i needed a bit more food. I accompanied my entree with a Mimosa and it was a great combo. Their mimosas are definitely one of the bests. read more

This place used to be great, however the last 3 times we've been (at the bar, no less) we've waited 20+ minutes just to get acknowledged for a drink order then waited another 10+ minutes to actually get the drink. When we finally got to order our food, it was another 40+ minutes wait to get the food. This is a breakfast/lunch place. We were there 2+ hours for breakfast. After going here several times - and we've given it "one more try" - twice - the last visit was the last straw. While the food is good, the service/wait is just abysmal. Overheard the bartender blaming the kitchen, but last I checked the kitchen didn't make the drinks... Sadly, I highly doubt a return from us. If you're planning to go here, expect a 30+ minute wait to be seated (you cannot call ahead), and equally as long for drinks and food. It's definitely not a place for a "quick bite". read more

My coworker recommended this place for brunch. My wife and I loved the decor when we walked in and anticipated a long wait on a late Sunday morning. Staff was friendly and got us checked in. While waiting they brought around samples of a flatbread and smoothies. Was really kind of them to do that while everyone was waiting. Fortunately, a few seats came up at the bar and we were able to get seated a little quicker. My wife ordered a salad and I got the eggstravaganza. You could tell they used premium ingredients. The eggs were cooked perfectly for me (over easy), the potatoes were delicious and the French toast A+. Their brunch drinks started at $8. Everything was great, besides two things. First, the price point is high. Even for high end brunch spots the food relative to the price doesn't line up. My 2 eggs, 2 pieces of bacon, a few slices of potatoes and 2 slices of French toast was $15. To me, that's crazy for bacon and eggs and French toast. The second thing that wasn't so great was it took over 30 minutes to get our food after we ordered. Yeah, they're busy and I know kitchens get backed up. 20 minutes is about as long as it should take to get a salad and basic breakfast together in any kitchen. 30 is way too long. I could see if there were more in our group or we ordered something that took a while to make, but for what we ordered that was too long. Overall this place was OK. Similar to many brunch spots, but priced higher with slower ticket times. Otherwise service was great, decor nice, ingredients fresh. read more

I've been scoping this place out for a year. Small franchise with locations around the world. It pretty much lived up to the hype. Atmosphere was open and modern. The menu, quite diverse....and the food was tasty and well prepared. The service, although relatively new, was friendly and more than competent. Can't wait to get back when they get that deck open and raise the walls in the bar area. read more

My family and friends are always wanting to go out to eat at Eggspectation specifically for the breakfast. Not only do they serve healthy natural beverages options there mimosas are great. The food is perfect every time, from the strawberry salted caramel waffles, to the steak and eggs, to the shrimp and grits. (Clean shrimp and medium size). Today, we sat at the bar and Stacey and Ed were a delight. Respectful, funny, and just a great way to start our Sunday with positive attitudes. We recommend our family and friends to Eggspectation when they come in from out of town. Thank you for a good time. read more

Amazing!!! Amazing!!! Amazing!! Great location if you are craving some brunch (breakfast or lunch). Also, great for a date or meet up with friends! The staff is BEYOND friendly! The have outside and inside seating with access to the bar in both areas. Look at those sautéed onions, ugh! Soo good!! The lobster eggs Benedict did not let me down. It was packed with flavor and it seems like the guacamole was made fresh! Their drinks are super strong! The Taco breakfast was GREAT! The bacon was good just right, not to crispy and not to greasy. Super excited to try this location again but, a different item this time. Must try if you are in the area! read more

Welp, I've been wanting to dine in here for a long while now and finally got the chance to come on a random breakfast date. The pictures may not look too amusing and appear as basic, but it wasn't as bad as I thought. We both got fresh smoothies from the juice bar and bene's as meals. He got the Avocado Toast while I went for the Chesapeake. Yes, I'm a sucker for lump crab meat! Both were enjoyable and our server was very sweet and attentive. Reasonably priced and will be back to try other menu items, since it's served all day. Probably dig out their burgers and cocktails... read more

What a pleasant surprise! We really enjoyed our breakfast. Service was amazing. Coffee was hot and waffle special was a great

We went to brunch here today and enjoyed it. My boyfriend and I shared the Toluca poutine, pan frittata and a side of French toast. The French toast was our favorite, it was so delicious! The other two dishes were pretty good but not amazing. I like that they have bar seating and would definitely like to sit at the bar if we go back. This would be a great spot for a girls brunch also! read more

Eggspectation - Latte - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Newark, Delaware

Pretty good food, the first couple times I went here it was a slam dunk. Orders cooked perfectly (steak and eggs, chicken and waffles) but the very last time I went, we waited 2 hours (my fault, but wife was craving it) and I ordered over medium eggs and they were so over cooked they were rubbery. Do you know how sad it is to wait in a restaurant parking lot to eat for 2 hours to have over cooked eggs? I will for sure go back at one point but I'm scarred. Anywho - the chicken and waffles are very good and the blueberry pancakes with lemon ricotta is my favorite. read more

I had heard great thinks about this place but was disappointed. Mid-morning on a weekday, it was busy and the place was noisy. Maybe a booth would be better but at a table in the middle of the floor it was so loud I couldn't hardly hear my spouse speaking. Not the atmosphere for a nice brunch. The menu had some interesting offerings. I ordered a crepe with chicken, spinach, and other items in it. It was OK but for $14 I expected better. Omelets don't come with toast. That is an add-on. The service was good and the staff was friendly. read more

Bobby Pancake (and his team of 630+) are at it again! Check out newly opened Eggspectations. Delicious. Unique. West Coast vibe. Lori enjoyed the juicy, tender, slightly spicy kick (yet crispy outside) Chicken and Waffles. My Florentine Benedict disappeared in minutes. Perfectly cooked eggs (no small feat) fresh spinach and magic potatoes created a smile on my face - similar to the sweet yogurt side. Newly opened for breakfast, lunch, dinner and drinks.

Food was very delicious and full of flavor! I got the Yolk around the clock. It was look more appetizing/appearance improvement if shredded cheese on top instead of 2 slices of melted cheese. Potatoes we delicious. The hostess could have been more friendly and acknowledge people when they walk in the door. Wait staff was friendly. Loved the fresh squeezed orange juice!

Been wanting to check this place out for a bit, but just haven't made the time. I'll definitely be back! I was here for brunch - the server, Stephanie EXCELLENT!!!.. A people person, gave great suggestions, allowed us to enjoy our meal - while not making us feel as though she forgot about us. I had Eggs Benedict w/ Crab, I changed it to scrambled eggs ( I'm not a fan of poached) wasn't a fan of the English muffin a little tough. But generous portion of crab. I wonder if they'll add Fried Green Tomatoes to the menu read more

We were hungry and in a new area of town, The ratings were good and the menu appealing, so we decided to check this spot out. It is a very open, warehouse style building that felt hollow and chilly inside. We were seated in a booth away from the door but near the kitchen. It was so noisy from the kitchen and loud diners that we couldn't have a conversation and left without ordering. read more

We got there around 1ish pm and put our name down in the waitlist. Waited about 30 mins. The restaurant was huge with industrial style. We assumed we had to wait that long even though there were plenty empty tables due to the fact they were under staffed. We weren't too keen with the table we got because it was situated right in front of the entrance to the restrooms ;(. Anyway after seated, we ordered right away, food came out quite slow. Fried chicken with waffle was ok only and chicken definitely needed more flavour. Waffle was kind of softer than we preferred. French toast flambé was good. The portion was big for one person. The only tiny complaint we had was that in the middle of the breads was very soggy. Mocha drink wasn't recommended by us after we had it. We didn't have a chance to try out the dessert even though they looked yummy. Overall, we felt there were better brunch restaurants in Delaware. read more

Fabulous customer service and very tasty food. Unique dishes for Delaware. Great breakfast spot but may be a bit of a wait. Get on the line early. They will text you when ready. Worth the wait.

Unimpressed by the meal overall. I understand we are slow resuming restaurant meals but tepid grits? That's totally within your power. The meals were very salty. Usually salt is the go to when fresh herbs/spices are lacking. Three stars are for the ambiance. Nice clean. Friendly staff. Lackluster food. read more

Our server was awesome. Loved the atmosphere of the place it was open and had warehouse ceilings there was a bar area and even outdoor seating. My friend and I stopped over after a medical test since it was nearby. Did not regret it. The food was so good. I rarely ever finish my whole meal and I cleaned the plate. I had the avocado toast Benedict. It was a pretty healthy option. Basted egg, avocado, tomato atop multi grain toast. Hollandaise sauce with a touch of chimmichurri to finish ...my God it was delicious! As a side I had the potatoes. Simple slices seasoned and sautéed with onions but oh so good. My drink of choice was the green juice, a mix of spinach, apples, fresh ginger and mint...so refreshing and not too sweet. My friend had the eggspectation omelets that had all the breakfast meats and the side of potatoes...I had a couple bites. Just as delicious as my meal. I'm on a low sugar diet at the moment so I can't remark about the desserts but they looked so good. Definitely going back the next time we are in the area! read more

Came in for breakfast with my mom around 915 on a Saturday, and apparently we picked the perfect time because on our way out it was definitely starting to get crowded. Nice atmosphere and decor, and friendly host and waitstaff. We ordered strawberry mimosas (yumm) chicken & waffles, and the Eggsuberant. Food was delicious, so even if there had been a wait, it would've been worth it! I'll definitely be going back again & recommending to friends. read more

The restaurant had one other table occupied when we arrived around 6:45pm on Saturday. The staff spent 90% off the time hidden from the guests. The food was very underwhelming. It took half of my Belgium waffle for me to get a waitress' (NOT OURS) attention to get some butter. When I put my napkin on the table however, our waitress immediately cleared my plate and napkin without even asking if I was done. Good thing I wasn't on my way to the bathroom! All in all, very disappointing. read more

I've been to this location several times and each time I am disappointed. The breakfast/brunch items were soooo underwhelming. I had the Huevos rancheros once and I couldn't believe how dry and bland it was. It was served cold. The beans were clearly canned and unseasoned. It had absolutely no flavor. I probably will not return. I asked for my eggs to be over medium but i got over easy instead. I couldn't get a hold of my waitress to ask for seasoning and hot sauce until I was mostly done my meal (they don't keep them on the table because of Covid). read more

First Timers- My husband and I decided to head out for a breakfast date. Inside the restaurant was very sleek and industrial. Our waitress Beka was great and very attentive to us. As my husband and I sat sipping our coffee (also amazing), we were met by Beka and the the General Manager Rob Ford with a plate of pancakes. They told us that our coffee was free and we also won a plate of their pancakes. I had no clue that I had a stack of pancakes on my mug and whoever receives that mug receives free coffee and pancakes!! The GM Rob gave us some background about the owner Bobby Pancake and that explained the pancake Mug. Our breakfast was delicious and we will definitely be back again. read more

Thank You for your reply, you have to say this. In 2021's coffee review, Delaware is an affordable priced coffee state of, approx, "$1.70 to $2. $3.00 is rediculus, 1 year later. Prices need to be lowered to compare with all other restaurants. Onion soup is the same read more

The gyro was full of all of these sauces that didn't belong there. Not a lot of meat. I've had better.

My husband and I stopped there on the way to the beach. We both got omelettes and the potatoes. The food was delicious. The best omelette we had in a while. The place is expensive. With tip $45 for 2. But it was our 38th anniversary. read more

sounded promising @ first, our server was the bartender ed. he did not check in throughout our service @ all, he only took our order yet still inputted it wrong. we waiting around 40 minutes for our food, then an addition 10 minutes because of the wrong order being delivered, after a while we lost our appetite. while waiting there was a bug that also started to crawl on our table, we immediately let a server know, & although it was taken care of quickly, bugs are a big no especially around food. not only this but we had no ketchup @ our table, even though it is a minuscule problem, all the little problems we experienced eating here made our time not enjoyable. we definitely waited too long for our food, yet it still was extremely dry & flavorless, the worst dish being the BREAKFAST BAGEL. bread was dry & hard, the 'melted' cheese had turned cold & hard as well. we constantly kept asking for refills as well, everyone except the server helped us out. there is an extreme lack of teamwork @ this establishment, servers were bumping into each other & there was confusion of what tables ordered what @ multiple tables. honestly all of the servers seemed very overwhelmed. we felt like we were bothering the servers due to some of them having an attitude problem. would only recommend if you have the patience & time of day to be on THEIR time. read more

Meh... Friendly and welcoming staff, but the food is utterly subpar and shamelessly overpriced. It's just a highly overrated Denny's with a swanky interior, hippier crowd, and triple the price. The $18 omelette was dry, flavourless, and with microscopic smidgen of veggies and cheese, but had some egg shells in it, and the stem from the avocado. A highly underwhelming breakfast for two, to a tune of $47, toast and coffee not included, that next time we'll opt for a local diner read more

Me and my sister went on a Friday morning, we knew it was busy since the parking lot was full and waited 20 minutes for a table which isn't bad, but we waited for an hour and more to get our food.

The staff were friendly but the wait time is ridiculous. read more

Finally a decent breakfast eatery as I haven't found a diner to my liking even after 10 years of living here. I ordered Classic Benedict which was cooked perfectly. My husband had High Rise Pancakes which were layered with bacon, sausage, potatoes and a fried egg on top. No need to order any sides. The restaurant itself has a very modern look with high ceilings. Service was quick. I hesitated going for a long time due to comments of high prices and long waits. Prices have risen on everything these days and you get what you pay for. Will return to sample other breakfast and lunch/dinner items. read more
