Over Easy Kitchen in Marlboro NJ is a breakfast eatery. "444" girl and associate at counter taking reservation were sweet. Waitress was just ok but it did get busy. I got up and ask for water after 10 minutes. The 1/2 cafe tasted like Santa. And the poached eggs with cheese and salad greens were edible as long as one didn't mind stems getting caught in one's teeth from the arugula and greens. Washed hands In clean bathroom. read more

Better off going to a diner unless you are okay with paying $5 for a coffee... Or even an iced tea. Also was not expecting a $4 charge for 2 small syrups to go with our pancakes (which came with no syrup)! What restaurant doesn't serve pancakes with syrup automatically? read more

Exploring for a new breakfast joint. Came across this place in Marlboro. Really good chicken & waffles , kind of a basic menu but all around cool spot. Side note I love places with tons of parking. read more

We enjoyed our brunch at this trendy yet cozy "grown-up diner". The restaurant is small and gets very crowded. No reservations unless you are a party of 6+. I wish they would join the yelp waitlist feature. My rating is for the food. Service is inconsistent. On our first visit, service was non-existent. Our waiter disappeared and food took about 40 -60 minutes to show up. This is after a 30 min wait to be seated. My chai latte was lukewarm as was our food. Our waitress from our second visit made up for the shortcomings. She was great and checked up on us several times. My chai latte and food came hot this second time around. I've had the fancy burrata and build your own omelet (2 toppings). They were absolutely delicious. We also ordered the 3 eggs with ham and a side. We all enjoyed our meals. Note that If you want to add anything extra to your meal, it's an extra charge but for us, the pre-set meals were more than sufficient. The menu is limited but it has your basics like pancakes, Belgian waffles and the 3 eggs with a choice of meat and side plus some more creative dishes like the fancy burrata. I saw someone with the avocado toast. I wouldn't get this because it was half of an avocado on a toast (not mashed but the actual avocado). The omelets were the best omelets I've had (it tasted like real eggs, not the watered down stuff). We'll be back but please, get on the yelp waitlist app! read more

Wonderful Tasty Magic! Great experience here on a Sunday afternoon. Clean, bright atmosphere. Seated very quickly. Incredible waitstaff! Heather was on the ball, accommodating, and quick. All other servers greeted hello and goodbye with a smile. Lemon ricotta pancakes were fantastic as well as a side of their *new* sweet potato chorizo hash. Wowzer! Right touch of spice, soft sweet potatoes, and generous amounts of chorizo. Large portion for both. All benedicts looked fresh & beautiful. They have some inventive options on the menu. Also serve lunch food (burgers, salads, etc.) Their coffee is bold quality. Kept getting those unlimited refills! BYOB for mimosas. Can't wait to return here. read more

Good local brunch place. Tried their steak and eggs. Cooked to temperature. It would be nice if they allowed a choice of toast and also if it came with home fries but had to order that separately. Overall good experience. read more

Gazing upon the mysterious Milky Way, I went out for a lovely brunch day. Pistachio latte to start, made me green with envy of the lavish layers of flavor. The nuttiness detailed the pure rich flavor, and the oat milk was as fresh as can be. My meal a French Toast was so authentic. I looked to my friend, whose name starts with C, pretended to twirl a mustache, and said Oui Oui. The berries and fruit made it a cornucopia with a fresh taste, and the maple honey syrup, or as I now call it the Canadian Bee Juice, was out of this world! I highly recommend heading here and enjoying the great food and service. read more

Style over substance. Day with Diane my BFF in Jersey. Newish hotspot super cute inside and already packed for Saturday lunch. Waited 15 minutes for a table and later 1/2 hour for the food. Ate: Red white and blue chicken and eggs Tomato soup Finally got the food! Soup was delicious, but served with toasted Italian bread lacked imagination. Should be served with a housemade biscuit and mention the cheese on the menu. My lunch dish was. visually like a July 4 fantasy, but taste wise it was a mixed bag. Generous tasty grilled chicken with the weirdest tasting poached eggs ever. The spot gets an e for effort, but one look into the small somewhat disorganized kitchen said it all- too small for the restaurant size and looks like a family affair. My friend loved the vegan salad but for this food beast, more thought on the food itself please. read more

Came here a couple times for lunch and it does not disappoint. It's sometimes hard to find a great lunch place, but this place has so many different sandwiches and paninis to choose from! And great breakfast options too. Also their coffee and drink menu is tasty. The ambiance is nice and bright and fresh too especially for the location of being in a strip mall. Service was great whenever we came. Would definitely go again and try more things on the menu. read more

Over Easy Kitchen - Fancy burrata for brunch!! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Marlboro, New Jersey

Overall the food was not bad, but I don't think it's worth the hype. The rosemary skirt steak Benedict was very salty. The hollandaise was good, but there could have been more. Poached eggs where right on the money. The fancy burrata was good, the cheese was the star of this show. There was just a lot of arugula. Chai tea with almond milk- okay but not great. Not too much flavor. Lemon Ricotta pancakes were DELICIOUS. Best part of the meal, by far. Only other thing I would say is that the portions are SMALL. I easily could have had 2 servings!! read more

The service was very good but the sandwich was weak. Will not be going back. A sandwich that's over 21.00$ should not have any dead spots. Dead spots meaning parts that are just bread without filling. Another layer to the already thin chicken cutlet would have been acceptable. The place as a whole is very comfortable and the layout is nice with very comfy seats. read more

Everything that we have had here has been delicious. Fresh ingredients- delicious sauces. Even the salmon was great. Definitely going to be returning again and again. read more

This is my first time coming back to over easy after their remodel expansion. It was 10:30 on a Sunday so definitely the brunch rush hour. We walked up to the front counter to put our names on the list. Another man behind, cut us in line and the hostess looked past us and answered to him first which was a little disheartening to say the least. My boyfriend and I decided to sit at the counter due to the fact that we would probably have to wait 25 minutes for a table. It took about 5-10 minutes for our server heather to greet us but she was super sweet. She took our drink and food orders right away. I ordered the steak and eggs while my boyfriend got the Belgium waffle with a side of eggs and bacon. The eggs I got overeasy and the yolks were runny. The steak had a lot of flavor and was surprisingly more tender than I thought it would be. My boyfriend liked his waffles but felt like there was a little bit too much whipped cream. Also his eggs could have used more seasoning but that's why we have salt and pepper shakers. Overall, a good experience other than the greeting in the beginning. Good food and a chill environment. Will probably be returning for brunch in the future. read more

I just really liked this place for brunch. It was very trendy inside and very clean. Pretty spacious but definitely preferable at off brunch hours. Could be a good spot for groups that are 4-7 people. The menu had an impressive and varied list of egg dishes, a few "from the griddle" choices and good looking lunch dishes. The "fancy burrata" dish was so good, just filling enough, and just fancy enough that you wouldn't make it at home so why not enjoy it out. Food came out quick and service was good. I don't know if I would come here and wait 30 mins for a table during peak brunch time but I wouldn't be disappointed if that's what the group wanted. read more

Over Easy Kitchen - Burrata "Fancy" Toast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Marlboro, New Jersey

Another 5 star New Jersey dinning experience! Looking forward to not having to cross a bridge to enjoy more of the garden state! Over Easy Kitchen is a popular spot for brunch anytime of the week. You may experience a wait for a table so be prepared, or call ahead if you have a large table. We had over a 30 min wait for our table and it was worth !! My friend and I caught up on life while we waited in our cars. Located in a Food Emporium shopping plaza, so plenty of parking available. This is one of two locations with a third location TBD! Lovely decor inside with a vibe of a modern day farm house. Industrial lighting with some softly lit ambient globe string lights. Perfect size menu with daily specials too- must come back for the special Bacon Me Crazy: fried chicken and bacon infused waffle- yikes cheat day!!! Today my friend and I spilt the Grilled steak sandwich and Mediterranean Omelette, yummy! We started with the best crumb cake I have ever tasted!!!! Too much food for two people, I had the omelette packed up for dinner. All of the staff were very friendly and attentive, while taking care of business. Especially during the height of brunch rush hour, the front of the house to the back of the house worked very well together. Even the lovely manager came over to check on our table! read more

Over easy is a great spot for a specialty breakfast or lunch. They have a variety of coffees and drinks to choose from. Their kids' meals are made with high quality ingredients. My daughter has had the French toast sticks and grilled cheese. They were both fresh and delicious. They also have daily unique specials. I also love the ambience. The tables are spaced out, and the vibe is relaxing and earthy. I really enjoying visiting for breakfast or lunch! read more

Two poached eggs, fresh burrata cheese over arugula, avocado, tomatoes, red onions, balsamic topped with pesto aioli. I added gluten free bread instead of sourdough. They take reservations for parties of 6+ on weekends too so we did not wait. Cold brew with oat milk was ok. Server was friendly and attentive even when it was very busy. A little pricey but comparable to most brunch spots. read more

Over Easy Kitchen - "Fancy Burrato" - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Marlboro, New Jersey

We wanted to give this place another chance, but service is horrible. Plenty of available seating, hostess tries to seat us next to a table with a parked stroller situated between the tables. I asked to change to the table on the other side which was open. She rolled her eyes and muttered "fine". We browsed the menu but no server came by. Someone dropped the check off to the table with the stroller, but they didn't stop to acknowledge us. At that point we got up to leave. As we were approaching the door, one of the SIX staff hanging out at the register said, "why are those people leaving?" Maybe stop chitchatting and actually work?? I wish I didn't even have to leave one star to post this review. read more

Arrived at this place Saturday morning place was super busy which is a good sign usually - there was a 25 minute wait but we're seated in about 15 minutes. Ordering was slow but the place was slammed. I ordered eggs Benedict with skirt steak instead of ham and hubby ordered skirt steak and eggs. What seemed like an eternity no food showed up but it was not just us with no food so assumed the kitchen got backed up and also many take out orders/ had to flag down the waitress who disappeared over time to check on our order she informed us a few more minutes. Eventually it showed up and of course mine was wrong and was not steak but rather ham and it had to go back to get fixed hubbys was ok except the steak was small and shriveled up. Eventually mine came back and was correct. Hubby felt the steak tasted old and reheated but I thought it was just the marinade/ gave it a strange taste. I would go back probably not at any peak days or hours it was insane and not a pleasant experience at all and it is by no means cheap. Food wise it was decent. The tables are close you could potentially be sitting on top of the next table so the ambiance wasn't so great and it was pretty loud lol. Again food was good enough to return at a slower time. read more

From the time we sat down until we paid the check was 40 minutes for a group of three. Within minutes of paying our check a hostess came over to our table and asked that we leave because "We have reservations." Two of the three in our party still had a half of cup of coffee. We watched as the hostess made the same request to another table. Clearly this is a common rude practice of this restaurant. We will not be returning. It shocks me that they get away with this!!! Too many restaurants, even diners in the area with food just as good to waste my money on a loud, crowded and rude place like this in Holmdel! read more

This is my wife's go-to brunch spot. We have to go every time we are in the area and I'm not necessarily upset about it. Located in a small plaza you can miss it if you aren't looking. Seems like it is the go-to brunch spot in the area. One thing you should know off the bat is that the lemon ricotta pancakes are out of bounds! So good. We order these every time we go. I also tried the Meditterean omelette and it was just ok. Tasted like an omelette from the local diner honestly. It needed a little seasoning. I also tried the nutella pancakes and they were good too. The brunch here is usually on point. I have had pretty much everything on the menu and you have a 90% chance of having something good. They have expanded the dining area too since my last review so the wait is a lot less. Make sure to get here early on the weekend since that is when the crowd picks up. The prices are also reasonable and portions are decent. Come check it out if you are in the area. You won't be disappointed. read more

Wonderful. I came here when it was half the size and you normally had to wait on the weekend. They must have renovated it during the pandemic because it is huge now. We were seated without a wait on a saturday at 10am. I had the honey and oat coffee and it was incredible. We ordered the avocado eggs benedict and italian porkroll. Food was great but it took forever to come out almost 30 mins. Other than that service was good we would come back again! read more

First time here. Like the place a lot with a few minor annoying things. They have a good unique menu for. breakfast and lunch. Hope you like avocado because its in 75% of the food. So when you choose your toast, they ask if you want butter, or jelly or both. Weird but ok. Ask for butter. Toast comes out with a little biodegradable cup with this tiny hard star shaped piece of butter in it. You need like 4 of these to fairly cover 2 pieces of toast. Ask for ketchup,you dont get a bottle, they portion out another little biodegradable cup half filled with ketchup. Again,weird and annoying because now i have to wait for the already busy waitress and ask her for a normal adults amount of these cheap extras, along with another refill on my already small sized cup of iced tea. Time to give people enough butter and ketchup the first time. Having to ask for them over and over isnt very cool with the already steep prices for the food. Having to order a separate side of potatoes with your $19 benedict is kinda pitiful. Include potatoes for that price. The stuff we ordered tasted great , good coffee too which many places seem to mess up, but not here. Flies have been a nuisance in a lot of places lately. Always fun to constantly have to swat them away from your plate. Had that happen here also. Its become a running joke when we go places and wait to see if we will be attacked by flies or not. Restaurants really need to get fly catcher lights or something. I know its summer, it happens, dont bitch about it but its seriously annoying when you have 3 or more around your table the entire time.staff was awesome, go check this place out. Worth it as long as little things like i mentioned dont get under your skin read more

Great food great service. The menu has something for everyone, even the most picky eaters. The interior design is also a favorite of mine.

O.E Kitchen has amazing options. Definitely a bit more on the expensive side for breakfast/lunch, but the food always tastes great. The sweet potato chorizo hash is my favorite side with a good balance of sweet and savory. In my opinion, I think the coffee here might be one of the best coffees I've ever had. Their cold brew with vanilla is so refreshing and not watered down. Overall a good place for brunch once in a while. read more

Ordered on DoorDash for two. The food came presented beautifully-- we got the lemon ricotta pancakes and Maduro Benny. Both were hefty portions and left us with seconds. The lemon ricotta was especially moist and fluffy and the savory dish had a mix of spicy chorizo, creamy avocado, and unctuous fried plantain. I love going to OE Kitchen indoors, but the delivery experience was just as great! read more

Over Easy Kitchen - Benny's Benedict, Lemon Ricotta Pancakes - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Marlboro, New Jersey

2 stars for their lack of decent management. Not one to complain, and wouldn't haven't even posted a review if they handled the situation a little better. Had a hair in my food, and not laying on top of my food - which possibly could have been my own - but it was deeply embedded into my dish. Quietly informed the server who said he would go get the manager. The server came back and said that the manager was "too busy" to come over and she would adjust the bill. We got the bill and they took off $5. $5 off the $15 meal that wasn't eaten because of the hair. So a hostess was setting up a table next to us, I told her the situation and she went to get the manager. She then came back and said the manager was "too busy" to come over and that I should pay the bill and the manager will adjust it after business hours. I politely said no and again, asked for the manager. She then came over, asked what the problem was and when I told her she said she didn't see it. We informed her that the server saw it, brought it to her attention and that her reply was she was "too busy". She then said it could have been a hair from my eye brow lol weird thing to say, and I said or it could have been a bristle from a brush they use on their grill (which is exactly what it looked like); again it was embedded into the dish, not laying on top. She was extremely rude and unpleasant. So if you're wanting to try this place out I suggest going to the Holmdel location - I've never had an issue there and their management seems to know what they're doing. read more

Sometimes when I first come to a restaurant, everything is new and exciting for me at the eatery. I order and thoroughly enjoy my given dishes. At a later point in time, I return only to find myself disappointed. It should be noted that I may order the exact same thing because I enjoyed a particular dish greatly, the first time. I suppose I was hoping for consistency. I find myself most often disappointed with breakfast/brunch places. Well the spell has been broken! I have frequented OEK's Marlboro location several times already and everytime it has been nothing short of a wonderful dining experience. Believe me, when it comes to brunch eateries, I am hard to please. The restaurant has an open floor plan where your server can see you and respond to you when you need anything. While some might say there is an industrial look to the place, I find it very aesthetically beautiful and modern. The place is immaculate as when the previous party leaves, the staff really take their time to wipe the table and seats down. I am a stickler for clean tableware and often get annoyed when there's obvious lipstick or food particles stuck on. OEK must run their cutlery and everything into the dishwasher twice because everything is sparkling. I always excuse myself to first visit the restroom to wash my hands after ordering. If they have a clean bathroom, chances are, they have a clean kitchen. Either upon going or coming back from the restroom, and it enables me to survey the kitchen. I see the cooks all working adroitly and needless to say, considering how busy the establishment is, the kitchen is clean. They have many areas for dining: the farm table found by the front and by the windows, the regular dining tables and finally the counter. Their excellent service is ubiquitous. On to the food! My spouse had ordered Protein Breffy which consists of scrambled egg whites, grilled chicken, sauteed spinach in olive oil with garlic to accent, and multigrain toast with sliced avocado on top. The egg whites were moist, soft and dare I say, fluffy! They were not undercooked by any means. The marinated grilled chicken was also perfectly seasoned as well as moist. The spinach leaves incorporated baby spinach leaves quickly sauteed in olive oil and garlic. While some might say there's nothing special about sauteed spinach, try these and it will make you look to see if someone's grandmother is in the back cooking for you. This time I had ordered Lemon Ricotta Pancakes. It was nothing short of amazing. Two large, light and fluffy pancakes on a lemony sauce on the bottom and middle. The wild berry compote had two versions utilized in these pancakes. One is the one found in the middle. It is found to be just a tad more broken down than the ones on top of the pancakes which is found to be handled less therefore was thicker. They then added whipped mascarpone which was creamy yet thick as the final topping. I found the pancakes to be light and airy without that rubbery feel as I was cutting it apart. The sauces were not overpowering and enhanced the flavor of the lemony ricotta. For added protein to this carb brunch, we had a side of bacon strips. They were crisp and had just the right ratio of fat to meat. The only thing I would find flaw with this is it was very greasy. Perhaps they could have blotted the grease before plating and serving them. We both enjoyed their bottomless house coffee. I found their coffee to be well balanced, smooth with good aroma. Special thanks goes to our server Katie. She was constantly on top of our order and anticipated our needs. They currently have two locations: Marlboro and Holmdel. They will be adding a third one in Fair Haven soon. I wish them tremendous success and look forward to visiting their other locations. read more

I want to love this place every time I visit, but their food is just not great. Their chicken is stuck at the roof of your mouth dry, the pancakes are the same, and the baked goods are just okay. It's a cute local spot but I wish the food would be better. It's also a bit pricey. read more

This was my first visit here and thought it was a great choice. Without a reservation on Thanksgiving Sunday about 11 am we waited about 10 minutes for a table for 2. The venue is lovely with several TVs about and modern decor. Our waitress was wonderful filling our coffee cups regularly. We both ordered eggs...i had the Mediterranean which was perfect. It was much more than I could eat. My friend had 3 egg whites, toast and salad. We were not rushed even though there was a line to come in. The place closes at 3. Bathroom was clean. I would definitely come back. read more
