Eggy's offers both indoor and outdoor dining. This a very solid place for those that want to dine in a garden oasis - very pet friendly and you will still be served by the staff. The line to order was very long. Seating could be limited - you cannot "reserve" or sit in an empty space until you have ordered your food. Technically this "rule" wasn't apparent, but the staff will tell you to get up and give up your seat for those that have ordered. This is a great way to control the seating arrangement for a limited space with lots of customers. The food was pretty solid - a bit on the pricier end. I ordered the steak and eggs. Medium steak, but was a bit overcooked and needed just a tad bit more salt. I like that when I asked for scrambled eggs, they made it omelette style. I went here on a Saturday lunch and it was packed. Took about 15 min in line before being able to order but the food came fast. Parking was tough - street parking only in a very busy street.
DO NOT COME HERE IF YOU DO NOT HAVE TIME TO WAIT!!! Ok, let me break this place down for you. When I first showed up, the line was scary long but we were not in a rush so I said, let's wait it out. Now this place operates like the new concept restaurants are beginning to follow. You get in line, you order, and then you are seated after you get your number. Please note, YOU CANNOT SAVE A TABLE UNTIL YOU HAVE ORDERED. Also, I recommend seating outside because inside was super loud. Ok now that the logistics are out of the way, here is the really good stuff. Their Huevos Rancheros are absolutely amazing. I am so glad that's what I chose to try because seriously, they were sooo good my husband was jealous he didn't get them lol. The Tres Leches French Toast, also amazing and it's a HUGE serving so be share:) The overall ambiance was cool, food was great, the service, let me tell you, the service was some of thee best I've ever seen. Hope this helps, enjoy!!!
My friends and I stopped by for brunch at Eggy's Neighborhood Kitchen on a Sunday evening and it was busy as it gets. The line of 30+ people was wrapped far down the ramp. I was worried that the line would take a super long time, but shockingly, the wait was "only" 30 minutes or so before we were able to place our order, and another 15 minutes before we received our food. Overall, I found the food at Eggy's to be good, but pricey -- consistent with any bunch spot in the Bay Area. I ordered the Oskie breakfast sandwich and thought it was a solid breakfast sandwich. There were two thick pieces of bacon in the sandwich that were cooked neither too crispy, nor too soggy. The fried egg had a gooey, runny yolk which added richness to the sandwich. Definitely a messy eat, so you'll may want to have a few extra napkins nearby. The sausage patty was well seasoned and hash brown was super crunchy -- albeit a bit oily. The fruit salad on the side was a refreshing way to balance out the heavy sandwich. My wife ordered the birria tacos and I thought they were shockingly good. The shell is deep-fried to be extra crispy and the consume carries a lot of deep chili and beef flavor. There's generous amounts of braised beef in each taco. The meat is fall apart tender, and has a good balance of lean and fatty parts. I like that lime wedges are included on the side to add a pop of freshness, as well as the onion and cilantro garnishes. The three included with an order are more than enough for a meal, even for those with large appetites. While food was solid, service was lacking. For example, if you order coffee, coffee is supposed to come with one included refill. However, at no point during our meal did we see any of the staff members walking around to tables to top folks off. Overall, I got the impression that the floor staff here are stretched super thin, are doing too much, and as a result, have no capacity to check in on diners. In terms of atmosphere, the indoor seating area is super loud and floors are insanely slippery. Be incredibly careful walking around indoors or you might find yourself making an unexpected trip to the ER. Overall, despite all the aforementioned negatives, Eggy's is still one of the better brunch spots I've visited in Berkeley. I really appreciate that they have menu items not typically found at other brunch spots.
Came here on a Saturday, I'd advise to come early because the line gets super long. Ate upstairs, the ambiance is super chill. Service was excellent and attentive! My friend and I ordered the steak chilaquiles verde and tres leches French toast. I forgot to take a pic of the French toast- but both was 5/5. The steak was cooked perfectly, presentation was pretty, and it all tasted so good together. The French toast with berry compote was super yummy and balanced. Not too sweet. My friend and I also got a bottle of champagne to make mimosas. We had the guava, mango, and cranberry (I think I didn't taste this one) on the side in little glasses I love guava but the mango was the best flavor! I would recommend this place for the service and especially the food! I want to come back and try more.
Finally was able to eat here No line on a Tuesday around 11 am Customer service is good Cashier was patient and friendly We were able to sit inside and watch a soccer game (FIFA) I ordered the braised beef hash $29 it was mostly potatoes and bell peppers see pictures Friend ordered the chicken and waffles and he did enjoy his meal said the chicken was well seasoned and tender Mimosa is $12 each There ie a 3% surcharge regardless of your method of payment (see receipt) Parking is street parking only and you need to pay to avoid a ticket .... Would I come back here again maybe But I definitely wouldn't go out of my way to do so
LOVE LOVE LOVE! Such a vibe. The line is long and I wish we could do reservations but it's first come first serve and you order first then find a seat which they made it work out seamlessly! Steak and eggs were amazing. I'd get it again. Poke nachos is a MUST. Pass on the French toast And I love the outdoor/patio vibes. But heard they're relocating!!!
Eggy's is such a great brunch spot. Everything came out hot, fresh, colorful, and packed with flavor. One thing we really appreciate is the pay-first, then eat concept. It keeps things moving and makes it easy to head out when you're done. Every time we've visited there's been a line, so that seems to be the norm. We stopped by around 1:45 p.m. this time and only had a short wait, which didn't bother us at all. My husband and I ordered the tres leches French toast and omelette, and both were excellent. The French toast had a beautifully golden exterior with thick challah bread. I usually prefer a more custardy center, but I didn't mind that it was a bit drier because the berries, compote, and glaze brought everything together and balanced the dish nicely. The omelette was a standout. The eggs were cooked beautifully and filled with well-seasoned peppers, onions, mushrooms, and creamy goat cheese. The house potatoes were crispy, flavorful, and seasoned just right without being overly salty. Some bites had a little more bite to them while others were soft and tender, which made them even more enjoyable. 10/10 would absolutely come back.
Been on my radar for awhile, tried once with my husband, but the line was out the door on a Sunday around noon (did not expect any less). Finally got to try it with a friend, and we made sure to come early in case there was a line. Went in at Saturday a little before 11am, and waited about 15 mins in line before ordering. Ordering seemed a bit chaotic and rushed even though we knew exactly what we were ordering. It was just the vibes that we got, hurry up and tell me what you want because I have many other things to do while I take orders between that. After you order, they tell you where your table is. Overall, the restaurant has 3 seating areas. One smalk area inside where you place your order, outside in a courtyard like space, and outside upstairs They currently share the outside space with the other businesses. We got seated outside/upstairs. It was a gorgeous day, so we did not think anything of it, but our table did not have an umbrella for shade, so we started burning up after only 2 minutes of sitting directly under the sun. We looked around and saw a few tables finishing up, so we asked if we could be moved. The worker was so nice, he completely understood and agreed to move us once he clears the tables. A few different people got seated at the same table after, and no one survived. Every party that got seated there would stand up after minutes and ask to be moved. Luckily, the worker informed us that they will be moving down the block next week, so it should no longer be a problem. The ambiance is very cute and lively for friends to get together for brunch. Families can come too, but I cannot imagine coming here with my kids. The food on the otherhand was just all right. We were really looking forward to a delicious meal, but we were a bit disappointed. Yelpers rave about how amazing the food is, but the only dish we liked was the birria. It was juicy, tender, flavorful, and crispy. It was the first thing to come out, so we were excited for everything else. It just went downhill from there. The short rib hash was tender, but the flavor just was not great. We asked for extra crispy potatoes, and they did not deliver. The meat was saucy, but it just did not do anything for us. The famous Tres Leche French toast was dry. It felt like we were eating bread smothered in sauce with fruits, rather than bread thats been soaked. If it was soaked, it would not be dry in the center. Garlic fries were also okay, more on salty side. We also wish they were more crispy. We originally said we would come back to try the other dishes that we could not get because there was only 2 of us, but we are having second thoughts now. Definitely would not go out of my way to come again, but would give it another try if I were in the area and there was little to no line.
Came here with a couple friends on a Saturday for brunch. The entrance is a bit hidden off Shattuck. The line was pretty long, we probably waited for at least 20+ minutes, but the line area is nicely decorated. Kind of a bustling chaotic vibe. You pay at the counter before seating yourself. I tried the breakfast sando, which was tasty for sure but also heavy/greasy. The consensus around the table was that the food was generally pretty heavy. Also worth noting, the waffles that came with the chicken and waffles dish tasted fried (almost like a donut), which was surprising. My dish came with a fruit cup to kind of balance out the grease, which was nice. I'd say it was a solid brunch but I wouldn't go out of my way to wait in line for it again, probably. They were also blasting club-adjacent music which made for a weird brunch vibe.
An incredible brunch experience! Eggy's is tucked away down an alley on Shattuck, blink and you'll miss it. I loved the ambiance of walking through the outdoor seating which if full of plants and a small water founts as we lined up and waited to order. The staff run like a well oiled machine throughout the hustle and bustle of the weekend brunch hours. We ordered the Chilaquiles Verdes and the Fried Chicken Bene to share between us. Both of our dishes were so delicious. I love the tortilla chips they use in the chilaquiles, it soaks up the tomatillo sauce and yolk from the eggs so well. It is incredibly flavorful and a great portion size. The house potatoes served with the fried chicken benedict were the perfect accompaniment, the chicken was crispy, and the poached eggs were runny just how we like it! We left this meal feeling very satisfied and I hope I get to come back again (:
Such a cute brunch spot!! I came here with my husband and toddler on a Thursday around noon. You order first and then find a table. It was pretty packed but thankfully we were able to snag a table inside. The food didn't take too long to come out. We got the Tres Leches French Toast and Braised Short Rib Hash. My toddler loved the french toast because of all of the berries that came with it. It was tasty but like other reviewers mentioned, the berry compote overpowered the tres leches. The short rib hash was decent but not worth the price point. The food we ordered didn't satisfy us as much as we were hoping it would. I give the food 3.5 stars but rounded up to 4 stars because of the beautiful ambiance.
This is easily one of the best breakfast spots I have ever experienced. The atmosphere is welcoming and tranquil, creating the perfect setting to start your day. As a family-owned business, they have truly mastered what guests look for when dining out--not just great food, but a complete experience. Every detail reflects care and intention. I will definitely be returning.
I was a walk in with my childhood friend from out of town before Pilates. We got shrimp tacos, avocado toast, a bottle of mimosa and it was sooooo yummy! The portions are perfectly sized, seasoned, and plated. Not only does everything look good but tastes good too. I really recommend getting a mimosa bottle if you know you're in for a long yap session, I love that they give you all the flavors to try- my favorite were guava and cranberry. The service was the perfect level of attentive and when we annoyingly asked for pictures to commemorate our hangout, the server was happy to humor us. Another note on service- We had asked if we could get a table on the rooftop and they tried their best but couldn't make it work because of how busy they were. Oh well. No big deal! We enjoyed our sunny little high top regardless and forgot about the rooftop entirely. When we later on finished our meal they were so kind to bring out a churro waffle and apologize for not getting us a table, it was not expected at all. But such a kind gesture and testament to how much thought and care they put into their restaurant. They genuinely care about their customers because we would've enjoyed our time at Eggy's regardless! Unfortunately for me, I'm now hooked on another one of their dishes hehehe so I will now be back for my shrimp tacos, guava mimosas, AND churro waffle hahaha

I have heard a lot of good things about this place and finally decided to try it out and it definitely met the expectations. We went on a Saturday so the line was a little long but it moved swiftly. Getting seated was a little confusing because they have you seat yourself but not really, definitely something they can work on. The place was super cute I love all the greenery. The food came out quick and was delicious. Everything was perfectly cooked and well seasoned. The sangria was also really good and a little strong just like I like it. Will definitely be coming back. read more
Great breakfast and brunch place. The service is also good. You can add whatever you want on the menu the chicken is has a unique coating that was awesome. I had it wth tres leches French toast. The coffee was not a watered down type good flavor They do have a sign though saying they are going to relocate. Check out my pics read more

I arrived around 1:10pm on a Saturday (this establishment closes at 3pm) thinking who would dine here at this hour. Let me tell you, at least 30 other people. Luckily, the line was moving pretty quick. Since my friend and I were going to share dishes, we decided on one sweet one savory. Steak and fries - steak, cooked perfectly. Fries nicely crisp. Salad, fresh. French Toast - this is one of the popular items however, I wasn't too impressed with it. Could've been sweeter. The space is huge, great service. read more
Quick and friendly service! I enjoyed my omelette. It was flavorful and the potatoes were perfectly cooked. My daughter had the breakfast burrito. The tortilla had a bit of a strange after taste. My husband enjoyed his chorizo hash. I enjoyed their spa-like drinking water. A nice garden outside although it was too chilly to sit there. read more
Eggy's in Berkeley's Gourmet Ghetto is a few doors down from the legendary Chez Panisse. It's a well-run, Asian fusion breakfast spot with a slightly unusual setup: you queue up to order and may wait there for a bit, but the staff is organized to help you find seating after ordering. We arrived at 10 a.m. (early for brunch) and waited, standing for 30 minutes in a line, to order. Seating is about 60% outdoors, split between a garden area and a rooftop patio with umbrellas and café chairs, and 40% indoors. They have a solid menu with both sweet and savory options, including French toast, waffles, a handful of Benedicts, and a meaty hash. We had the chicken and waffles: boneless fried chicken with freshly made, deep fried waffles that leaned indulgent, reminiscent of a funnel cake. The fresh squeezed orange juice was excellent. Overall, the staff runs a tight ship. The brunch offering is good, even if a fried waffle wasn't our speed. It's worth a visit, and at its best when the line is shorter. read more

Eggy's always been that kind of spot to hang with friends, take cute pics, and pay a little extra for the ambiance. The place is super aesthetic and the plating is beautiful. but food-wise, I'd say it's pretty middle of the pack for a latin-fusion brunch. The best part of the chilaquiles verdes was honestly the chips. they tasted freshly fried and the texture was great (as it should be at that price). Flavor-wise though, the sauce and toppings didn't really wow me. The birria was tender, but a bit too salty for my taste. The fries from the birria dip sando were fine but nothing special. The sandwich was soft and comfy, and again the birria was tender but leaned salty. The consomé was decent, but not as rich or deep as the kind you get from even a good street taco stand. The huevos rancheros were also fine. Everything tasted fresh, but nothing that made me go I need this again. Tres leches French toast was the standout. I actually messed with the house blueberry jam heavy. The toast itself is still just french toast, and yeah it's pricey, but it was the one thing that felt memorable. Service was nothing to write home about, you line up to order at the register then they give you a number and sit you at a table. Water, napkins, and condiments are all at the front as self serve. Our group of four left full and satisfied, and for Berkeley it's a vibe. In the same brunch category, I think la note is better, feel like Eggy's is more style than substance. read more
Eggy's was marvelous as far as the food and service were concerned. I ordered the light and fluffy Churro wafflfes thay come with mixed berries and scoop of vanilla ice cream. Added a side of roasted potatoes and cleansed my throat with thier house coffee. My friend had a Rib-eye steak & egggs with sourdough toast/roasted potatoes. The restaurant has 3 levels.....2 for outside seating garden paradise setting and inside is set up like being in your home kitchen and dinning room. The thing that was a little off putting was climbing a flight of stairs to the bathroom. The water bar was a nice touch. Overall a good brunch day. Ciao for now..... read more
Breakfast done right! I loved the ambiance, as it felt like a secret garden in the back tucked away from the busy Shattuck Ave traffic. I'd recommend you wear layers even with the outside heaters, as there's not much direct sun and it can get drafty in the yard. During the weekend brunch rush, they can run out of tables fast and build up quite a line. The eggs Benedict, however, are excellent and the best priced for the portion size on the block (I think). Their hollandaise sauce is not too sweet or oily, and their potatoes were delightfully crispy. I really enjoyed their lemonade (caution - it's super sweet, which I like but just fyi). And I loved how even though it was busy, my friend and I could have a nice cozy conversation without feeling like we needed to shout or have people crowded over our table while they stand waiting. The entrance can be a little hard to find because it's in the back, so just keep walking in toward the center of the quad if you are entering from shattuck. There is decent enough parking if you are willing to walk a few blocks, or if you are shopping at some of the other businesses that provide timed parking for patrons. I give it 4/5 stars because the place and food are just missing that extra oomph to make it a really special and exceptional experience. Then again, brunch on a Sunday might not be the best time to judge that experience, so I'll be sure to visit again on another day and see how it compares. Eggy's is a solid and charming place for a staple Sunday brunch at a decent price for the neighborhood. read more
1st time at Eggy's. Wife been wanting to try out the Poke Nachos and I fulfilled her wish! Cool stylish entrance with art and photos. There was a nice little calming water feature in the outdoor seating area. We got there near closing and the place was still packed! Nice sized menu. Wife already knew what she was going for, but I had no clue. She got her craving of poke nachos and killed it! I guess it was good! I got the huevos rancheros. It was solid, but was drowned in salsa verde, and the utilized whole fried tortillas opposed to chips. I kinda wished I went for either the chicken and waffles or the french toast! It's definitely worth the try, and we'll probably be back! The poke nachos LOOKED hella good, but unfortunately, I only got a chip, a small piece of tuna and avocado. Wife inhaled it! read more

5 stars hands down! From the food to the service to the beautiful ambiance ! I went here on my birthday ( happy birthday to me ) and I have absolutely no complaints. The staff was very kind and attentive, the food was so flavorful and perfectly cooked. I had the French toast and my hubby had the steak and garlic fries & it was perfection. Our server Arnold deserves a promotion , he was wonderful, kind and very attentive. I will be back when they open their new location read more
Came on the weekend for brunch and as I expected there was a line to order. The line does move regularly but because this is such a popular spot, be prepared to stand in line for a bit. Once we ordered our food was brought out faster than I expected. I ordered the verde chilaquiles and sangria. I found the chilaquiles to be flavorful and not completely soggy (which is important to me!). read more

First time at Eggy's and I loved it. The space is charming and cozy, and the Hobbit-like door at the entrance is such a fun touch. You order and pay at the front, then relax while the food is brought to your table. We shared the braised short rib hash, which was incredible--melt-in-your-mouth tender short rib, rich hollandaise, and what perfectly seasoned potatoes. The churro waffle was the real standout. Unlike typical "churro waffles" that are just cinnamon-flavored, this one truly has the crunchy, sweet texture of a churro. Topped with blueberries, strawberries, a drizzle of dulce de leche, and a scoop of vanilla ice cream, it was pure indulgence. Cozy, decadent, and absolutely worth the visit. Highly recommend. read more
Eggy's Neighborhood Kitchen is a bustling cafe in Berkeley! It gets extremely busy on the weekends. My group of six got lucky Saturday morning as two of us got there right at 11am and waited. It filled immediately as we started waiting in line. We were sat on the uppermost deck of the restaurant, which is accessible by elevator or stairs. I was a bit surprised we just got seated on a foldable table and chairs given the price of the food and the ambiance downstairs. They at least had umbrellas set up so we were not baking in the sun. I ordered Chorizo Hash and Eggs, as well as a coffee. We didn't have to wait more than ten minutes for our food to arrive. I honestly thought the dish was okay and didn't have anything too remarkable about it. While it was extremely filling, I thought there would be more flavor given the price and popularity of the dish. I would have given three stars, but I got to taste test my friend's dishes, which were extremely delicious. I would opt for a sweeter dish if I go a second time. Overall, I thought it was a decent experience. The downstairs ambiance is nice, the service is great and quick, and the menu wasn't overwhelming. read more

This was my first time at Eggy's and it was wonderful. Arnold was helpful from the beginning to end of our dining experience. He was attentive, kind, helpful, and went above and beyond for us. Andre was great as well. He was patient and even brought us a churro waffle for a misunderstanding with our table. Overall the atmosphere, food quality, and service were impeccable, I can't wait to come back! read more

The food was amazing! The waffles are definitely as good as folks say they are. It's not too airy, not too cakey, not too right. Goldilocks would love it. Their french toast was also a pleasant surprise. And the fried chicken was delicious! Crispy and juicy. Honestly one of the best fried chickens I've had. Breakfast potatoes had a slight crisp and were cooked well. The jamon omelette was ok... not exciting. In fact, a little disappointing since everything else was sooo good. Wish there had been more flavor there; I was also thrown off by the chunks of Brie cheese in there. The peppers, jamon and Brie definitely did not play well together. Came here right at 9:26 a.m. with friends after we ended a hike early due to a swarm of bees chasing out hikers ahead of us and then swarming the rest of the trail. We thought we were gonna be the restaurant openers since they open at 9:30 a.m. but there was already a line of about 12 people! We eventually were in some seats by 9:50 a.m. The restaurant is cafeteria style where you order at the cashier, pay and then get a number so your food can be delivered to your table. I get why this is the spot for brunch on Shattuck. Very cute inside, cozy patio seating. Wish their menu was more well-rounded--even for less popular brekky items. read more

Stopped in for one last breakfast before leaving the bay. I heard about the hype here, and after an hour wait we decided to stick with our choice. You ordered first then are seated by staff, everyone was super friendly and accommodating. The poke nachos were out of this world. My husband and I speak and think of those so often and if we were closer, we'd be ordered to go of those all the time!! Lol The chilaquiles were okay. They seemed a bit soggy. Husband ordered the green, I ordered the red, which were spicy. Loved the spicy on the red, but flavor on the green ones were way better. All in all, pretty good. Would come here again. read more

Eggys is definitely a must try. If you are looking for a brunch stop in Berkeley, this is it. Family owned too. Customer service, food, atmosphere was great. The only thing is that you have to wait in line(so be patient). You have to order before you can seat, like that idea (indoor & outdoor seating available) They are moving to a bigger lot, which is a plus. Definitely recommend to check it out.

Okay be prepared to stand in LINE!! For a little while! My friend and I went on a Saturday at about 11:30 AM for some context we I took the Eggy's entrance photo at 11:38AM and the food at 12:57PM However .. I would say the food was worth it!! The French toast was delicious however when I hear tres leches I expect milky, soaked, but it was more of just a sauce! However still delicious. The omelette I enjoyed!! and the breakfast sandwich my friend really liked! The outdoor seating is nice and same with the indoor; the only thing with the outdoor seating is that the line is just watching you eat lol! read more
Busy, busy, busy! When we first walked in from the street we were a little confused on where to go, I believe there are a few restaurants in the space that share the outdoor seating. After walking past a few tables we saw a line and the Eggy's sign. The line is formed in a beautiful garden oasis that includes a water element. Once we were at the front of the line we ordered our food, paid, and the host escorted us to an upstairs outdoor table. The table sizes vary from picnic tables to small bistro sets and are very close together. The food was scrumptious. We enjoyed the tres leches French toast, breakfast burrito, shrimp tacos, and coffee. My husband said the shrimp tacos were the best he's ever had, the tres leches french toast was delicious even without maple syrup, and the breakfast burrito was meaty and flavorful. We'll definitely visit again and highly recommend trying Eggy's. read more

Came here on a Saturday, I'd advise to come early because the line gets super long. Ate upstairs, the ambiance is super chill. Service was excellent and attentive! My friend and I ordered the steak chilaquiles verde and tres leches French toast. I forgot to take a pic of the French toast- but both was 5/5. The steak was cooked perfectly, presentation was pretty, and it all tasted so good together. The French toast with berry compote was super yummy and balanced. Not too sweet. My friend and I also got a bottle of champagne to make mimosas. We had the guava, mango, and cranberry (I think I didn't taste this one) on the side in little glasses I love guava but the mango was the best flavor! I would recommend this place for the service and especially the food! I want to come back and try more. read more

I tried Eggy's for the first time today and overall had a good experience. Parking was definitely a little challenging, but after a short walk, I arrived at this cute little restaurant. The wait staff could have been a bit friendlier, but the food was good. I couldn't decide what I wanted, so I ordered both the braised short rib hash and the chicken and waffles, along with a mimosa. About $80 later, I can definitely say the braised short rib hash was the winner--I would absolutely order it again! The chicken and waffles were just okay for me. The waffles were too hard, so I didn't eat much beyond the first one, and I was a little surprised that the chicken was a tender rather than traditional chicken pieces. Overall, I'd recommend giving Eggy's a try, especially for the short rib hash. I wouldn't go too far out of my way to get here, but if you're in the area, it's definitely worth stopping by! read more
1st time here on a Sunday, the wait was not too bad. It Can be deceiving from the outside, you think there's not a line, but there really is, but it was not bad. Staff was very nice and attentive. The chilaquiles with the steak was delicious. The chilaquiles chips were homemade and crispy and they paired perfectly with the green sauce, the steak was cooked to perfection, the chimichurri elevated the steak all together. Now to the chicken and waffles, definitely not a fan. The waffles were deep fried, which I saw that on the menu that the churro waffle was deep fried, but I did not see that in the description for the chicken and waffles or else I would not have ordered it, the waffle was too oily snd just fell apart. The chicken had a lemon flavor which for lunch is probably really good, but for my breakfast I did not care for that, they then put a spicy sauce on top of the chicken and waffles which is spicy as described. I was very pleased with the chilaquiles and the coffee, because I really liked their coffee brand choice. They have a very chill cool ambiance. I definitely recommend and will for sure return to try something new. read more
Super good! I had chilaquiles and they were really yummy. My friends ordered an omelette and a dish with the chorizo and both liked their dishes. We waited for about an hour on a Sunday afternoon. Once we ordered, the food came out really quickly! read more
Returned to Eggy's for brunch today. We ordered short rib hash, chicken wings, and the churro waffles. We drank a fresh squeezed orange juice and an Arnold Palmer. Everything was very good, the service was attentive. Eggy's gets alot of customers coming through and the staff do a good job of helping customers find a seat to enjoy your food. The indoor dining area is small and there is also seating outside. This place is a favorite, I'll be back with friends! read more

Aren't they moving?
Would it be busy if I went during the graduation commencement at around 10-10:30 AM?
Most likely not. That's a good time to go
Can you make a reservation?
As far as I could tell, you are unable to make a reservation. Their number on Google doesn't work and they have no website set up. Since they are only in their soft opening phase, that probably is why.
Can we make a reservation?
No. But what I like about this restaurant is that they will wait to take your order until they know they can seat you. Unlike some other places where you have to stalk diners and swoop in as they're about to leave, Eggy's will hold off taking your…
