Idk what it is but no eggspectation can hold a candle to the Columbia location. The menu is very limited and the atmosphere is lacking I mean you're gonna charge $25 for a salad and expect people to eat off a table made of plywood ? The service was good . read more

Food and service was great. I love the ambiance. Great place to come to have a good food and drinks. Definitely recommend.

Let me preface by saying my family likes Eggspectation and has been visiting the Columbia and Owings Mills locations at least twice a year for the past 10 years. We went to this new location for brunch on Saturday, Feb 11th party of 4. Service was friendly but slow. Servers needed to come by the table more often to check on beverages and food status. We had issues getting refills on lattes and cappuccinos, as well as water. Food did not arrive together. Omelettes were served cold, Chesapeake crepe ($30) arrived after everyone else finished eating and was bland. Best items were the French toast flambé we ordered as an appetizer and breakfast poutine - but even that was too rich. I'm not going back soon. I think the restaurant needed a soft opening before the public opening and has some food service issues to be worked out. We will try a again in a month or so. read more

Honestly the service wasn't the best at first but the 2 managers (Rich & Chris) made the visit worth it! Before speaking with them I said I wouldn't come back but you can tell they take their craft & jobs very serious. Very personable, understanding & nice! They definitely made up for everything & now I definitely will be back. read more

We ate here today and the food and drinks were so good ... The service we received from Saraya was amazing she's very attentive as well as very friendly . Would definitely go back ! read more

The food was really good and the service was perfect. We had a table of six and needed separate checks and they were able accommodate. I thought it was going to be too noisy but it wasn't and we decided we would be returning read more

Today, we had our annual office holiday brunch. I called the day before to let the restaurant know how many people were coming and if they could accommodate us. I left a voicemail and the GM, Christopher, promptly returned my call and left me a wonderful voicemail. I called him back and he was so kind and enthusiastic about our plans. His team not only set us up on the patio, but they also even decorated our table with red and green table clothes. We had a GREAT time, and the food was EXCELLENT! Our waitress was Olivia and just like Christopher she was the best. She was wonderful and kept our drinks refreshed, did our holiday photo shoot, and gave us a few to go cups of sweet tea! We came in jolly and left jollier! No alcohol consumed . We will be back soon and definitely back for the HOLIDAYS! Don't hesitate, GO, this Eggspectation location is infectious! read more

First time at this establishment since it changed from Poulet. Came around noon on Saturday 4/1/23. It was a fairly busy waiting area and resturant overall. Loved the look, decor and overall ambiance! Due to the slight wait I decided to take a seat at the bar on the back deck area, in the corner next to the window. My space had clearly indicated someone there before me by the crumbs and cup rings so I fully expected the bartender to eventually wipe it and provide a menu upon seeing me. Not the case! Only once a couple sat beside me did the bartender wipe my space (barely) after clearing the dirty dishes next to me in front of the couple's space. The bartender was slow to acknowledge and respond in general and it was clear she was annoyed and didn't want to be there by her general negative attitude. She was also complaining about the kitchen and other servers and just in general under her breath but it could still be heard by myself and other nearby bar patrons, including the couple next to me. So it made anyone that needed to actually ask for something uncomfortable like you were "bothering" her. The couple next to me said the same, so none of us wanted to rock the boat. It took nearly 15 mins to even order my initial coffee. I then had to ask for sweet & low, creamer, stirrer, and silverware. And just as soon as I asked for that or anything for that matter, she would forget it that quick. I finally got to place my order and then realized I had been given the 'evening' not "day" menu. Though I only realized this when the couple next to me placed their order and I over heard a selection I didn't see on my menu. I ended up ordering the chicken & waffles which came out in reasonable amount of time (by another wait staff) and looked great, though there was no butter or syrup. I politly asked for it, then waited and waited till after about 10 mins I finally got up and grabbed syrup off another table. Finally the bartender remembered to bring the syrup though by that time the food was half eaten and room temperature. She never once asked how my meal was or if there was anything I needed, a coffee refill, etc even once the bar rush was gone. She did however at one point apologize, somewhat....for her shortness, etc but then started complaining again about her fellow staff, in general. I feel it's just bad waitstaff edicate & unprofessional to do any complaining in front of patrons in any service industry, having worked in it myself for many years. Overall, it's the staff that made my experience poor not the food or the establishment in general. They just seemed clueless and unengaged from the first encounter with the hostess. They mostly moved at a slow, mozy kind of pace with no sense of urgency. There was also lot of "outside loud voice" between staff which is just unplesant in general. I should also mention I could hear one or two patrons dropping the "f" bomb which you wouldn't expect you'd be subject to in an establishment especially with these $$ prices or in this area of town. Overall, I felt more like I was at an IHOP at 2 am off 95 than a high end bistro at high noon on a Saturday in Timonium. But to be fair, not all staff I witnessed was so disengaged, or loud, etc...but most I observed just did NOT seem properly trained in the service industry. Management definitely needs to reconsider how they vet thier staff and take 'proven' experience and a pleasant attitude into consideration before hiring. I do hope this establishment stays in our part of town and is successful, but they need to do a full staff revamp if they hope to maintain respectible clientele and repeat customers. I wish I could have given a better initial review but this was 'my' experience. Curios to know if others had a similar experience.Though I will say....all the food coming out looked delicious, so there's that. Thank you, V.M. (Timonium, MD resident) read more

Food was subpar at best. French onion soup was mostly broth bread and cheese on top barely melted burger bun was stale low quality beef not even a close resemblance of a Caesar salad old lettuce pepper Parmesan dressing not Caesar didn't touch it fries were refried not fresh at all. Pretty disgusting in general. Place also felt it needed a good cleaning. First and last time here . Don't waste your hard earned $$$ here. read more

We travel to this area a few times a year to visit family. We have been to this restaurant many times and each time it is such a nice place to sit have great food and enjoy being around the people who work there. Everything there was just perfect. The small children had what they wanted at and all of the adults found something that his the spot. The service was great. The Restaurant itself is neat, clean and spacious. Nothing is out of place and everyone I saw working seemd to be doing it with a smile. Before leaving I managed to talk to the Operations Leader Chris and let him know it was a great place. He seemed to be the perfect person for the job. Just a Great Place. read more

The food is delicious and the service is excellent! I've been to this Eggspectation location 4 times and each experience was terrific! i even went on a Saturday with a group of ten and we were seated quickly. we were also served our brunch in a very timely manner. I highly recommend the Timonium Eggspectation! read more

Wow! What a night. we hosted a birthday party in the reserved covered deck area and loved it! very family friendly, food was delicious as always, and the staff is what made it. so helpful in helping me set up balloons and flowers before the party. And during the party, the staff were omnipresent and ready to help. Could not have been better and would highly recommend. We will be back!!! thanks again to all. read more

First try did NOT meet my EGGspectations !! First of all how do you burn an omelette after requesting it be cooked soft and light??? Both were dry. Not to mention the whole meal took forever but we enjoyed beverages and conversation until it arrived. The steak with eggs was over cooked Actually the cranberry mimosa and toast were the best part of the experience. Our waiter was nice but not attentive never came back to refill drinks we didn't have enough silverware to start and we requested jelly never got it. The place is huge well decorated and lots of potential. Hopefully it will last longer than predecessors but not going like this. I wanted to come back and try happy hour but not too happy to do so for now. read more

I hesitated going to any Eggspectation restaurants for years. When I travel for work most had a 3 +/- rating on Yelp. And I have friends that tried the local one in Owings Mills, and reported mediocre or bad meals with poor service. But we started hearing that the Timonuim location was much better than other locations, and decided to give it a try. We went late morning on a weekday, so crowds were not an issue. We were greeted by a very friendly server (SHOUT OUT TO JAKE!!!), and he walked us through the menu, answering all of our questions. While I do think $17 is a bit pricey for an omelet, potatoes and toast, it was well worth it. The omelet was packed with quality ingredients, the potatoes were delicious as was the toast and Jam. Breakfast is served all day, so I am tempted to go for lunch or dinner and try their other food while my wife will still get breakfast - her favorite meal read more

Great location, food, and Team...thank you for everything. Great customer care...Great music, just everything..very clean too...thats a plus. read more

I have a problem with the manager that works here, not only have we waited for an hour to get our food? But the manager consistently avoided us and why do we get our appetizers when the full meal comes to us an hour after being ordered? And we waved to the manager and he looked at us and walked away.. not mad at the waiters/waitresses? But managers are supposed to pick up the slack and all I see was him slacking off instead. Do better. read more

I'm going to give this location 3 stars today.. this was our third time visiting this location. Our first two times were great! After walking in, I felt like I was in a staring contest with the greeter who clearly did not speak English. Someone else came up and she took us to a table. We sat there for 15 minutes before being greeted by the server and it took another 20 minutes before we received our drinks. After 45 minutes of walking in, we received our breakfast and the eggs and grits were iCE cold. The manager on duty was nice and he did correct it and personally brought us out hot grits and eggs. This was the first time our experience wasn't as great. We noticed other patrons that was experiencing the same issues. I'm going to chalk this one up as they were unusually busy due to the fair being in town. We will give them another shot! read more

Food is very good and fresh. My family loves coming here and having the eggs Benedict.

Food is delicious, coffee is terrible. A bit pricey for the portion size, service could be better. Employees are clearly not cross trained in different departments so when they are short staffed, it shows. Will likely not be returning just for the service (missing many things + really bad coffee). read more

our service from Chris, was above and beyond. Was probably the friendliest you can ask for. Absolutely recommend going there.

2 things we've never gotten here (and we've been the last 6 weeks after church) -- bad food or bad service.

I was pleasantly surprised by the variety of food on the menu. Everything we ordered was very good. Don't let the name fool you into thinking it's all breakfast. They also have a great happy hour. read more

This is my third and final attempt to patronize this restaurant. I was on the waitlist and the hostess ask me my name as if she was going to seat me, when a young male subject walked in, she immediately diverted her attention to him with several hugs and then walked him into the back and returned with him. He had a glass of water and she seated him and gave him a menu. Never got back to me I then lady as I had been waiting for fifteen minutes by now read more

We've now eaten here 2x's. In both cases, the food was pretty good but the service poor. The staff are friendly enough. However, they don't seem very well trained and there didn't seem like there was any management around. Nobody came to our table for an extended period, the food took forever to come out, we constantly had to find someone to get more coffee, and in both experiences they let finished dirty plates sit on our table. Seems like some of this is an easy fix. The servers just didn't seem to understand basic serving procedures and Id blame that more on management. The atmosphere is great and we mostly enjoyed our food so it has good potential if they can improve the service read more

My friend and I came here for brunch on Saturday. We ordered the cranberry mimosa which were good. My friend ordered the southwest omelet which she said was good. However when she ordered the waiter said it came with either toast, English muffin or something else. She chose the English muffin and then she was up charged for it. Not cool. I ordered the classic Benedict which fell very flat. It was basically a piece of deli ham on an English muffin with watery poached egg and hollandaise sauce which was flavorless. I had high hopes for this place but was really let down. read more

When I think of breakfast or brunch Eggspection is the first place on my list. I love the atmosphere, the food, and the great customer service. My favorite is the lamb chops and the peach mimosa. The restaurant is clean and the management team is wonderful!! I want to give Chris and John a special shoutout for working so hard to make sure everyone provide exceptional service. read more

This restaurant needs corporate to come in and straighten this place out. My last 2 visits have been very bad. Your menu and concept are good and interesting , but your execution stinks. My motto, 2 times and you are out! My last visit I went simple in my choice...2 scrambled eggs, bacon, and 2 buttermilk pancakes. Simple right? Oh no...what looked like 1 scrambled egg because of its wee wee teeny tiny portion size came out chopped to fine bits, cold, and crunchy...oh and the egg was covered in powdered sugar which must have been over flow from the tons of powdered sugar sloppily doused on my pancakes. The 1.5 pieces of bacon (could you spare it?)...also teeny in portion was cold. The buttermilk pancakes were cold, doused in an overabundance of powdered sugar (no butter provided, btw) , and smelled and tasted like lemon. I did not order lemon pancakes. The presentation on the plate was a mess, too. A diner breakfast would have been far better...in fact, my college mess hall had a better breakfast. You guys are not cheap and the last time I came you messed up my omelette straight off a menu item choice that you left out all but 2 ingredients...with the waiter telling me they ran out of those ingredients when I questioned it once I went to eat it. Oh...and you also removed my 2 favorite items recently off your menu. I rarely complain, but you are top dollar in pricing, have a gourmet style breakfast menu, a beautiful restaurant inside...but your food sucks, your customer service and presentation sucks, your prices suck, your wait staff hang at the bar laughing and talking when your restaurant is crowded on a Sunday prime brunch time, water glasses remain empty, dirty un-bused tables all over, and your kitchen needs some lessons. Your Howard County location blows Timonium away. And corporate needs to come in a whip everything about this location in to shape. I am a successful business executive, head a global company, and I have just fired you for wasting my time and money! read more

Excellent experience and atmosphere. Service was great! I can't believe there are people complaining about ridiculous things in some of these other reviews. A very comfortable place to eat and enjoy a nice breakfast. Will be back on a regular basis. read more

Newly opened and everything was great. Been to the ones in Columbia and Owings Mills. Those locations had such horrible service, despite the food tasting good. Wish this new location all the best! read more

Our second visit, even better than the first. BBQ burger and croque madame were both delicious. The side Caesar salads were perfectly dressed and topped with bacon bits (yum!). Our server, Tai (not sure of the spelling) took excellent care of us. read more

Great service, menu and food. So nice to have a new restaurant with a different choices and old favorites.

Went today for birthday brunch with my husband. I've been to some of the other locations and have consistently been blown away. This time was different. Very busy , however the front staff handled it well. My husband ordered an omelette with potatoes and fruit. He liked it, except the fruit had a lot of rind on it .We ordered strawberry mimosas that were pretty good , however it was more juice than anything. I ordered eggs Benedict with bacon instead of ham and potatoes. I was thrown off as my waitress asked me how I wanted my eggs. I should have know then to order something else but proceeded after asking them to be poached. The hollandaise was curdled/ scrambled and it was less than a teaspoon of it. I asked the waitress to take it back for it to be remade and she had a hard time understanding why. I got the impression she didn't know what hollandaise was or how it is supposed to be. All good, she took it back. They did bring it out again and the sauce was still curdled, they also had sliced ham on each Portion and a piece of bacon on top. I called my waitress over again, this time frustrated to have them remake it again, as I don't eat sliced ham. She apologized and took it back. By this point my husband had finished his meal and I'm confused. Then the waitress came back out with the same plate, except they took the ham off and left one slice of bacon on each portion of the Benedict. Which was confusing because when they originally made it there was a proper portion to make up for me not wanting ham. Sauce still curdled. I called her back again because at this point what am I paying for? She was pleasant but clearly annoyed with me like I had done something or like I couldn't be pleased , despite the issue being with the kitchen .She then offered to bring me a side of bacon which I accepted . I just ate , curdled sauce and all because it was clear that was the best I would get. Also the new checkout system is a lot. My waitress came over and asked if we were done, then pulled out her checkout machine and gave the total and said cash or credit. Now normally I'm used to receiving a check ( electronically or paper) so that I can review my purchases and make sure nothing wrong is on there. So I asked to see a receipt, she then she held the machine as I looked over it. After paying , they stand there holding the machine for you to put a tip in. It's very strange, very intrusive and intimidating. Give me my privacy. All in all I will chalk this up to growing pains for this location. Not sure I'll come back. I'll just stick with the other locations that know how to make my favorite brunch item, Benedict. read more
