while in Chicago, we were considering dining at a more well-known brunch spot on Saturday that had an extremely long wait but we ended up finding Eggy's instead, and i am so glad we did! food was delicious and service was good as well. our dishes, the cinnamon French toast (cannot recall the exact name however it was a special on the board so was possibly seasonal?) and the Aztec benedict with chorizo and the crispy seasoned potatoes was fantastic! we also ordered a coffee (that came in the cutest Eggy mug!) and a strawberry margarita. we didnt end up waiting too long to get our food either. the wait for the table was a bit long as well (~50 min) which is expected for a weekend, but we were able to put our name down and walk around the area. i would absolutely recommend Eggy's to anyone in or visiting the city :) read more

Whoa! Yep! How?! These are the words that popped out of my mouth at a team lunch without context and everyone was staring at me. This place is cute but very busy walking in. Tables move fast though. The service was fantastic and patient with our large group. But the food.... The food... (deep voice) the food. I had the biscuits and sausage gravy which I have now marked as my number one of that specific meal. Those biscuits were light, flaky, well structured and very tasty. The sausage gravy had small chunks of sausage throughout without any greasy covering. The gravy was seasoned properly and was the perfect amount for the two sizable biscuits. I am drooling as I write this. The other folks around the table all said the food was excellent! So if you are looking for an excellent breakfast seek this place out! It is worth it. read more

Had a fabulous breakfast at Eggy's Diner! Love the 60's vibe with that vintage feel. We happen to stop by on our way to a sailing excursion, and the experience was fantastic. We ordered the pancakes, a delicious Veggie Panini, eggs with bacon, an an espresso martini and a refreshing mimosa. However, there are so many wonderful things on the menu. We will definitely be back to enjoy more of these delicious bites. The service was exceptional. As soon as we arrived we let them know. We run a time schedule and needed to make sure we got out in time for our excursion and they quickly accommodated our tight schedule. They got us seated and served us right away. read more

Ok sooo I was starving and I wanted food comfort food. I was told to come here. It's Monday, got sat immediately but I chose to sit at the bar instead. Ordered chicken and biscuits, and Mexican skillet with side of sausage. A coffee and fresh squeezed orange juice! I got my food within minutes. Amazing and fresh. I scarfed it all down quickly so you know it was good. I added jalapeños to my skillet so it was delicious. It was a cool vibe, 90s pop playing and not too busy on a Monday. read more

Lunch on Saturday- surprised to be seated with no wait! I loved the experience here. It is close to the river and the bean so it was a perfect spot to start our day and continue on sightseeing thereafter. The menu was expensive and it featured both brunch/ breakfast and lunch items. I ordered a pesto panini with fries, which comes with a small cup of soup. Good value. I got stuffed. The service was attentive and efficient. For some reason my phone did not have good reception there so having a free WiFi there helped a lot! read more

This joint is tucked tight below the skyscrapers and next to Mariano's Market. And it's a great place for breakfast. Big mugs for coffee and tea already set on the table. Big menu with some Mexican influenced items. Easy menu to read with highlighted specialties. Al pastor skillet served quickly. Nice skillet, reasonable portion. Potatoes can tend to either get dense and chewy or wet and soppy. Not here. Just fluffy yet firm potatoes in this skillet dish. Pancake on the side. I'm holding the fifth star due to syrup. Eggy's gives top notch food and service, but the syrup is industrial pancake syrup. A true maple syrup, or at least something a little more delicate would have put the exclamation point on my breakfast. Terrific place for a breakfast. read more

Visiting area for business trip. Great breakfast. Enjoyed the picante skillet. Plenty of food and just right spice level. Had to wait about 10 minutes for table Saturday morning at about 10 am.

We had breakfast here on Thursday morning during our trip and the place was almost empty! Homey and warm place with gorgeous views outside. Staff here were friendly, quick and efficient with their service. White mocha latte - Yum! Perfect balance of sweet and bitter without one overpowering. The drink was super creamy and tasty. Avocado toast - Too much arugula in this but the overall taste was really delicious. We appreciated how they served fruit as a side. Biscuit and gravy with scrambled eggs - Scrambled eggs were bland. Biscuit was more like having a donut - fluffy and soft to eat. It was a satisfying dish to have overall for breakfast. read more

We found Eggy's while looking for breakfast places within walking distance to our hotel. The place is very nice and it wasn't too busy on a rainy Sunday morning. Our party of 2 was seated right away and our waitress brought over some water and took our drink orders. I went with the fried chicken and biscuits while my dining partner went with the American skillet. The food came out pretty quickly and it was all solid. I tried the breakfast potatoes first and they were seasoned perfectly and cooked well. They had some bite to them but they weren't hard. They were seasoned pretty simply but they tasted great. The fried chicken was fried very well; the outside was almost crispy while the interior stayed juicy. I love sausage gravy and Eggy's is solid; delicious when slathered over the fried chicken and biscuits. The overeasy eggs on top added even more to the textures and flavors. The biscuits were the lowlight of the meal but they were still decent. One of them was a little overdone so it was super dry while the other was softer. A little inconsistent but they were both tasty. I enjoyed their coffee and my girlfriend seemed to enjoy her matcha latte and American skillet. All-in-all, a solid breakfast spot. read more

Went here for a weekday brunch and it was pretty crowded. Service was quick. Menu was huge with large diner menu of pancakes, skillets and many more I got the skillet and soup. I am glad that i found something vegetarian in the menu even though it was egg based. Its a bit more on the pricey side for a diner. Ambiance was bright and service was decent read more

Food is average, service need improvement, environment isn't bad . Our waiter didn't pay any attention if we need anything

good brunch food but not worth the wait to get seated or the wait to get food. on a sunday morning, the wait was obnoxiously long and once we ordered, it also took awhile to receive our food. we ordered a smoothie in addition to our order and the staff forgot about it for so long that we just cancelled the order. in terms of food, it's solid but not anything particularly special. the chicken tortilla soup was delectable and the chorizo eggs benedict was a nice combo. but the panini was pretty normal. the interior has diner vibes, it's very casual. read more

I dined at Eggy's 3 times during a recent stay in Chicago and would absolutely recommend it 10,000x over. Don't be worried about long lines since the tables turn fast, and if you're in a rush I can attest that a takeout order was ready in less than the 5 min walk I took to the restaurant! The first time we dined we were seated right away and served iced tea and water within a minute or two, which was great. I got an omelette with toast and potato, all were fantastic. The second time I dined I got the same order, no complaints and everything went super smooth. I was in a bit of a rush and I was in and out in I'd say less than 30 mins total! My last order was a "to go" one where I tried 2 eggs over medium with ham, toast and potatoes. Although the ham had some fatty parts everything was cooked amazingly and was super fresh. I can't believe my order was ready in only 5 minutes. The staff is all friendly and professional and very quick. This place seems like a fine tuned machine. I will be sure to stop here next time I am in Chicago. read more

Slightly above average food for too much money. Just mid overall. Several mistakes made in regard to our orders and check

We came here on a Sunday morning and unfortunately the line was too long for us to dine in so we decided to order for take out and enjoy the nice weather right outside in Lakeshore East park. I ordered the chilaquiles which were 4.5/5 in terms of taste but I was a little disappointed by portion size especially for the price point paid. Otherwise, the service was fast and friendly. They were able to get our order packaged and ready for takeout within 20 minutes which was awesome considering how busy their restaurant was at the time. I would definitely still come back to try other things on the menu read more

What a great find. Popped in here for lunch and enjoyed it very much. The grilled chicken sandwich had a great spicy sauce. BLT sandwich was good, but should be made with iceberg lettuce, not field greens. My Tortilla soup was great. Excellent French fries. Broad menu of breakfast and typical diner food. Isaac was a great server. read more

My foXXXy wife brought me here and this place is EGG-cellent! The Chilaquiles are the BOMB.

Sunday brunch!!! The restaurant itself was a little difficult to find but once we found it, we hit a jackpot. The restaurant is a cute, trendy spot with fun signs around. All the savory dishes (skillet, black bean burger, veggie panini) were incredible! The fries are shoestring cut, crispy, and very yummy. The chicken and waffles dish was huge. Could be shared if you have a smaller appetite. (It's a whole half of a chicken.) The crepes were just alright. They weren't thin enough and there wasn't enough nutella on it for my liking. The service was very quick and responsive. I will definitely be visiting again! read more

This spot was super close to my hotel, so I figured why not grab a bite for a late lunch after my early flight and a quick nap. The staff was very friendly and they seem to provide unlimited coffee, which was exactly what I needed after that red-eye flight. I went for the green egg and ham dish and it was super soft, almost like oatmeal. But it was way too salty for my taste and the bill ended up being pretty pricey, coming from someone who lives in sf. Overall, the vibe was cool and the staff was super friendly, but the food didn't quite hit the spot for me :( read more

This place was a hot commodity when we went in, it was a long wait so we sat at the bar for quicker service. I got chicken and waffles, it was just ok. The chicken quality and prep wasn't flavorful or well cooked to me. The waffle was a little hard, but with some butter it was ok. My friend got the French toast, she didn't finish it because the toppings were overwhelming. Potatoes were a little bland. The staff were kind and accommodating. read more

I used to be a regular decades ago when I worked nearby at Tower Ambulance and was in and out of Edgewater Hospital. Edgewater was a true community hospital, and Eggy's was a friendly, wonderful hospital cafeteria. The original owner served up comforting breakfast and coffee to hardworking medical workers and distraught patients' family and friends and helped heal our hearts. One of my favorite memories of those younger days was having breakfast at Eggy's. One of my deep regrets at aging is that I cannot eat like that every morning. Some of my favorite dishes are on the menu at this upscale much more expensive 21st Century version, but the decor and location are certainly more posh. Actually compared to the rest of the immediate area, the food is a relatively good deal here. It's perfect if you're staying at the Sofitel or otherwise nearby. Sadly, none of the workers seem to know anything about the original owner even though there's a article about him on the wall (young people don't read I guess). read more

Went on a Sunday with family after church. The food is delicious and well seasoned. I had the patty melt and sweet potato fries, my sister had the bagel and lox, my brother in law had a crepe with berries, my niece had French toast with Nutella, my nephew had crepes. Everyone cleaned their plate. I also had an espresso martini and my sister had a dragon fruit margarita. I've had better espresso martinis, my sister loved her margarita. The wait staff was very patient and helpful, we had 4 kids under 10. The vibe was family friendly but also many adults having brunch. I'll be back to try more menu items. read more

Very cool, chill local area diner vibes. I've been here multiple times. The staff is sweet and attentive. Huge menu options to select from. I swung by for a quick lunch this time and ordered Chicken Pita. It's served with tortilla chicken soup and fries. I find the food here to be super comforting, tasty and comes in huge quantity.

Fabulous every time!!! Eggy's has consistently good food. Service is always good too.

With my nickname being Little Eggy, I HAD to try out Eggy's. After a long morning of sightseeing, my boyfriend and I dropped in for some brunch. The Bloody Mary was the perfect spice/flavor ratio and had a generous pour. I had the Eggy's Benedict- every bite was well-rounded with the savory pulled pork and sweetness from the waffle. The potatoes and side of bacon were fresh and crisp. My boyfriend demolished the Irish hash but his only qualm was that the carrots were a little bland/undercooked compared to the rest of the dish. The vibe of the diner was extremely cozy and welcoming! And just outside was a dog park, super cute. read more

We found this gem in a little nook of Chicago! I wanted to be sure and wrote a review because it's not a restaurant that you'll walk by and pop in. Make this an intentional visit because the food is phenomenal, the decor is clever and the service is terrific. I do like efficient restaurant staffs that watch the entire restaurant to turn it over quickly. But have no fear, you won't feel rushed! The food is interesting and unique and DELICIOUS. Our family got an Eggy eggs Benedict with pulled pork over a waffle, Florentine crepes and an egg burrito. Each of us were impressed and we even shared a few bites with each other. We'll be back!! read more

This is the first time I've returned since the pandemic and man did I miss them! The quality of their food has always been good no matter what you order. My go to is the chicken and waffles and the chicken is seasoned amazingly well and when combined with the syrup it's one of the best chicken and waffles I've tried. I also love their omelette and crab cakes. They also have seasonal menu such as cinnamon roll croffin and pumpkin flavored pancake and coffee which I didn't get to try but would love to return and try it before they're gone. Their fresh squeezed orange juice was amazing and fresh. Coffee was delicious since they use colectivo. Overall I've always had amazing food here and I refer everyone I know to try here at least once when they're in Chicago! read more

Cute little place and no wait on a Saturday AM! The atmosphere is good as they have big windows and fun decor on the walls. Our server was attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. My veggie skillet was delicious: I got it with feta instead and got a side of tzatziki: I recommend! All our eggs were perfectly cooked :) only complaint would be the toast is very basic and plain but I would come again :) Side Pancake: nice and fluffy, filling, crunchy bacon and chewy : 8.5/10 review by my little sister read more

This place is okay. It will do for breakfast if you need a spot to grab a decent meal in the morning. Rating due to the blatant lie from the server stating that the pictured avocado was a 'whole avocado'. For an extra $4.50 additional charge this is a rip off. read more

One of the best diners I've ever been to, and I grew up in New Jersey! Came here for some breakfast as we were in town for a wedding. I loved the vibe inside right away. It felt very cozy and comfortable, and Chicago people seem super friendly as our neighboring tables both said good morning to us (which never happens in NYC). I love that Eggy's lets you get both eggs and pancakes at once so you don't have to choose. I opted for a Denver omelette plus a chocolate chip pancake. Both were great but the unexpected stars of the show were those incredible potatoes! Honestly better than hash browns or most home fries I've ever had. Service was super chill too and let us make substitutions as we wanted, and served everything fast. Overall, superb place and definitely one I'll recommend to anyone visiting Chicago and staying in the west loop / bean area. read more

This place is packed on the weekends, and for good reason. My friend and I both got sandwiches, which actually came with soup, too. The sandwiches weren't anything too special, but the portions were generous. The staff were accommodating and super nice, but we still had to ask for basic items like cutlery and water since they were busy and running around. If you're going to eat here on the weekends, be prepared to sit close to other parties, as the space is pretty tight. read more

Eggy's On a cloudy Sunday early afternoon, it was so busy that me and my wonderful peers waited 45-minutes to be seated. They will take your name and text you when your table is ready. In the meantime, you can walk around the park, sit in the park, or even play candy crush next to a tree. The place is in a cute, quiet residential area. Interior was very modern and reminded me of a cute bakery. Space could be tight, so make sure to respect those sitting near you. Service was fast and efficient! As for food, I ordered the Eggy's Benedict (Mini Belgian waffles topped with maple glazed pulled pork, 2 poached eggs, and house-made hollandaise sauce), it was savory BUT had a hint of sweetness. The breakfast potatoes were great and fried! Overall, I would recommend this place and eat here again!! read more
