    How am I just now trying this place the food is SO fresh and delicious. We love ordering breakfast on the weekend but somehow never ordered from here. Well that's about to change. I got the egg and potato burrito and my husband got an egg burger. Then we split French toast and a chia seed pudding. Everything delivered with a label on what it was and it was all so neatly packaged. This will be our new go to breakfast spot. I think next time we will physically check it out instead or ordering.

    Wicked Hangover Bowl
    Rachel R.

    Ordered DoorDash and it did not disappoint! Mad I didn't from there in the past! Cannot wait to order more

    I got the hangover bowl and a cold brew. It is over medium eggs, over a hash I added jalepenos and tomatoes. Very flavorful.

    Expensive, but good! I got the hangover bowl and cold brew. Cold brew tasted like an iced coffee but it was still ok. Four stars because it is pricey. However it was good so I still recommend.

    The Classic in a Bowl & All American on a Roll
    Brendon W.

    My friend and I stopped by to get some grab and go breakfast before taking the train into Chicago. I have got to say the classic egg sandwich and the classic in a bowl egg breakfast was delicious and probably some of the best egg related breakfast I've ever had. The service was extremely quick and friendly and there is a lot of tables to sit inside and on the back patio of the location. Their menu is expansive as well with lots of other breakfast bowls and egg sandwich options I would want to try. If I'm ever back in libertyville I am definitely returning.

    Well, this place was a PLEASANT SURPRISE! Love the tongue in cheek sign out front and the cheerful and bold decor inside. Service was exceptional. Got to sample some fresh squeezed juices when placing my order and OMG. TO DIE FOR. Ordered the simple bowl. Just scrambled eggs over cubed potatoes, with cheddar and avocado. Not sure it can get any better. You can tell the eggs are local and fresh! Coffee was good too. Glad I found this place and can't wait to go back! A+

    Mia was great for the recommendations, it's pricey but I will be back to try other things. It's a great little spot.

    This place has delicious food!! I got the Classic on a Roll with the wicked bacon sooo worth it, I also got the 4 French Toast Babies. The employees are super friendly and to me that's very important when it comes down to a restaurant, one more reason for me to go back. Their merch is also super cute! Thank you for the great experience!!

    A little more shell and raw whites than I like in my egg
    Tanya Y.

    Waking up with a hankering for french toast and eggs, I perused my handy dandy Uber Eats app and stumbled upon The Wicked Egg. The price point and options were exactly what I was looking for and it was close enough that I'd be eating by the time I finished up some quick work. I ordered the french toast sans powdered sugar, an over easy egg, and truffle salt potatoes. The food arrived quickly and was still warm, but as I started opening items I had a little concern with the potatoes being incredibly overcooked. I tried a potato and they tasted exactly how they looked... burnt. Mind you, this was my first time meeting TWE. But I figured I could save it by masking the burnt flavor with some cheese and sautéd onions so I put it in the oven to hold heat at a low temperature to avoid burning them further but keep everything warm. Welp, the cheese and onions couldn't mask the flavor of burnt so I just ate the sautéd onions with the egg. But as I ate the egg I found it was undercooked with quite a bit of white still raw. I should probably be more concerned about the whites being undercooked, but I continued to eat the egg regardless until I crunched into shell. That was enough of that. On the positive side, the french toast was exactly what I was looking for and cooked to the perfect temperature. It is a smaller portion, but that's exactly what I wanted. I wouldn't be opposed to the french toast again, but given the egg and potato debacles, I'm not really keen on eating there again. Part of me wants to give grace because mistakes happen because I could forgive the egg, but there is no way that anyone packaged those potatoes and said, "Ah, yes, perfect. Burnt, just like our customers like them." The lack of care of what they send out of the kitchen doesn't give me any confidence in the quality or safety of food handling so for me TWE is a no.

    Stopped into Wicked Egg for a Saturday fast-casual breakfast treat. This shop is located in the heart of downtown Libertyville. The inside has a cheeky design featuring every type of colorful egg decor one can while still being tasteful. The menu offers a variety of egg inspired brunch items from sandwiches to potato bowls, salads, sandwiches, and classic items. My fiancé and I each got a sandwich. I got the Keep It Simple and added avocado. This standard comes on a brioche bun with scrambled egg, cheddar cheese, and their signature sauce. There was plenty of egg to go around but I wished there was more of their signature sauce in it to add more flavor. My fiancé got The Classic which came with an over medium egg, bacon, cheddar cheese, sauce, also on brioche bun. His had a ton of bacon and way less egg to pair with it. He also tried their Sriracha sauce which added a nice heat. Overall, everything here is made to order and fresh. My only complaint is some of the ingredient ratios seemed off. If balanced, some of the flavors would pop and pair better. We left feeling content but not full which was nice.

    adorable place. very bright & very orange. the avocado toast was incredible! i loved all the cheese, seeds, seasonings.. rly tasty stuff. the staff were very friendly, too. excited to come back here. zero complaints. also loved learning about the farm they were partnered with. so it seems eggs taste much better when they come from happy chickens

    I've wanted to try this place out for a while and finally had the opportunity, and I am so happy it lived up to my expectations! I'm kinda picky with how eggs are made, and their fluffy scrambled eggs really hit the spot! Their chorizo, wicked jam, and house-made hot sauce are all really flavorful and tasty. Their green juice, which is made fresh every morning and sealed in 12oz bottles is really delicious, definitely one of the best versions I've had. I really appreciate how they use pineapple and orange juice as the base instead of apple juice. The service here was amazing- everyone was so friendly and helpful, and they explained the menu when we mentioned it was our first time here. Even though no one else was eating in at 10am on a Tuesday, the door was constantly ringing with take out and delivery orders. They seem super popular, for good reason. Good quality of ingredients, fast preparation, and reasonably priced! I do highly recommend eating in if you have a chance, they have a great atmosphere! Upbeat music, silly puns on the walls, and right now lots of tasteful fall decor!

    The menu.

    I've been meaning to check out The Wicked Egg, and it was the perfect late morning meal when you want good food without the fuss. I had the Classic on the brioche bun with an add on of Wicked Bacon. They did not skimp on the bacon! The bun held up nicely, not soggy and not burnt. Goldilocks would approve! My son got the Benedict bowl and it must've been great because he inhaled it and asked for a bite of my sandwich. We were offered a sample of the house made green juice -fresh, tasty, and a bright green, and the house made hot sauce was tasty but a little on the mild side for us. Overall, a great addition to Mainstreet. We will be back to try the burger and the burrito!

    What a fabulous breakfast stop in downtown Libertyville. I decided to try this place out as I wanted somewhere quick but not fast food. I ordered online which was super easy; there are so many substitution options available, all of which are also very easy online. My food was ready for pick up in 5 minutes. I ordered the Denver bowl and substituted the ham with bacon. The potatoes were thick cut southern style hash browns. The bacon was crispy, chopped, and a generous portion, the cheese was delicious, however the eggs seemed a little skimpy. You can add extra egg for $2 - but that feels like a steep up charge for a bowl that is already $12. All in all, it was a great bowl and it did feel like a decent sized bowl for the price, despite the amount of eggs. This is definitely a place that I'd go again to try something different.

From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with welcome smiles and were shown to our table, already prepared for our large group. Every appetizer and entrée was delicious, spiced just right and was served hot from the kitchen. We enjoyed a variety of appetizers and especially enjoyed the Brussel sprouts salad, arancini and mushroom garlic flatbread. Everyone enjoyed their mains; however, standouts were the lasagna, lobster capellini, chicken parmesan and braised short rib. Portion sizes were ample, but not oversized. Most of the dessert selections were very rich and sweet, but perfect for those who enjoy decadent sweet treats! The cocktails were all unique and delicious, kudos to the mixologists at the bar! Our server was attentive and friendly and we enjoyed the festive ambiance and lively atmosphere. Our entire group commented on how perfect the evening was, we will definitely be back soon for the food, friendly service and delicious cocktails!

    There's no word to describe the incredible service and experience we had here today :)…read more We were scheduled for the Bears Camp but it was canceled due to the weather. We wanted to grab breakfast since we drove an hour up to hit the camp and found this amazing gem! We weren't the only ones, many other folks who experienced the cancellation of the Bears Camp had the same idea! lol it was PACKED! I can't recall our hostess' name but she was a beautiful soul and so kind to us as we waited patiently for a seat. It was a 90 minute wait so we walked around a bit and killed time. When we got back, we still had a wait but a group of ladies said they just left the bar and we could walk up. We did and saw the hostess to ask if we could eat there and she said yes. Definitely worth the wait! We sat at the bar and Dani, our server was FANTASTIC! So kind, helpful and gave great advice on what to order since it was our first time. We ordered the biscuits OMG the best thing ever! We added the homemade jam and it was the chefs kiss! We had the hazelnut latte and French Madeline latte. Both were delicious! I got an omelette with sun-dried tomatoes, goat cheese and chicken sausage. It came with a choice of a bread item and I chose pancakes hubby got eggs sausage with French toast. The portions were HUGE! We were full off the biscuits lol but ate some of our meal and then packed it up to go and had it for dinner lol It's a cute farm inspired restaurant and very family friendly. We absolutely loved the staff. Dani, our waitress was a real Doll! Genuinely kind and so personal and attentive. Steve and Chris, the management team was absolutely above board and we so enjoyed chatting with them. They made us feel so welcomed! Thank you! We can't wait to return!

    I was raised in a bakery so take that with this review. Biscuits are my go-to. With a name like…read moreButtermilk, there is a level of expectation involved to living up to that name. It did not. The restaurant has a lovely aesthetic with the clean black on white patterns throughout. The open floor carries the noise so don't expect much with that. Even though I was the first person seated for the day, service was not great. When I ordered my breakfast (ham and cheese omelette with honey biscuit and a buttermilk biscuit on the side, the honey biscuit came, but after waiting for about 10 minutes, I had to flag down the manager to get my buttermilk biscuit. No refill on my drink either. The omelette was fine. It was a folder omelette and the flavor was pretty good. The biscuits are such: the honey biscuit is a drop biscuit with a slight taste of a honey glaze on top. It was fairly dense as most drop biscuits are. The buttermilk biscuit was just a folded biscuit, but it looks like it was folded at most twice. Here is the thing with folded biscuits, if you over mix the dough, it doesn't expand. If you don't use frozen butter, it won't lighten and create the necessary steam. Then you have a dense brick of biscuits dough. If you don't make your own buttermilk, you'll end up without the slight tang buttermilk is known for. I don't think Buttermilk lives up to the name. For me, it was a disappointment. I had high hopes.

    We've driven by this restaurant SO many times and have yet to come by until now. What a fun…read moreexperience we had! When you pull up to the plaza you would think anything of the restaurant but when you go inside it's a fun colorful experience. When we were seated we were brought waters and menus. We took some time to look at the menus but ultimately took our server's suggestions on drinks. I ended up having a virgin Rose Colored Glasses drink and absolutely loved it. The drinks were large and I felt they were worth the price. My husband got an old fashioned. To start we got the cheese curds, and when I tell you these cheese curds still live rent free in my mind I kid you not. They were so good, the cheese was battered in a tempura batter with a truffle cream sauce and it made for such an incredible dish! For our entrees we got the pork chop with the brown butter sauces and bavette with a red wine reduction. The pork chop was great with the brown butter you just gotta make sure you mix it up, and the red wine was a bit too salty for me but it was okay because I ended up loving the steak by itself! For our sides we got the grilled zucchini under the snacks option instead of the sides option because I wanted all the fixings. It was a great choice! The fixings really made and I could eat a plate of that and just be happy (with the cheese curds of course). The wiped potatoes were great as well. Now I was going to pass on dessert because I was SO full already, but twist my arm when you tell me the cookie dough ice cream is a must try. It had real cookie dough chunks on top and bottle and the vanilla ice cream was not boring vanilla, I ate almost half of that bowl and couldn't stop. The chocolate chip cookie dough was house made and it was the perfect blend of sweet and salty that tied the whole ice cream bowl together. Can't recommend that enough as well. All in all, we had a great experience! It was so fun to see so many regulars and so many new folks who came in to dine at the same time as us and we all peeked to see who ordered what before we ordered and got some great recs as you can see! Can't wait to come back to enjoy my favorites and more!

Started with the bread and crabcakes and the bread was amazing and definitely fresh but the crabcakes needed more crab and flavor. Basically everything needed more flavor. We also ordered a bottle of wine which our server struggled with and never came over to refill the glasses. Then the entree's; my husband's bolognese was bland and desperately needed at least salt and pepper. Then the real problem was my steak which was supposed to be medium came out well done and then classically when it was recooked came out rare or medium rare if you are being generous. Then the waitress said she would check back and she didn't so I had to get salt myself from the server station which is kinda ridiculous especially when paying $54 for a steak that already has no seasoning which is why they offer free sauces which makes a lot of sense now. When she finally did come back I said it was under but not waiting for it to be overcooked again so reheating it at home with the cold side of mushrooms I ordered WITH my steak. I did talk to the manager after and he was not really helpful or sympathetic and I was really talking to him so in my review I could say well at least management cares but that is not the case here. I gave 2 stars because their drinks are good and the ambiance is nice and the hostess was super friendly and was the star employee after our visit. Also we paid for everything even the cold mushrooms and over/under cooked steak! At minimum also remake my mushrooms or comp them. Would I eat here again hopefully not but it is locationally desirable for me and my in-laws and have lots of GF options so might have to and if I do hopefully they will have made things better.
