Unbuckle your belt and wear loose pants. This is the only meal you'll need all day. Seriously HUGE servings. I'm pretty sure I got more hash browns than the last three places I visited combined. The drink menu is super impressive. I saw the Old Fashioned with coffee too late. It sounded delicious. I went with iced coffee and it was pretty light and watery. Coffee lovers, I'd go for the Cold Brew. Or the hot stuff. Or any of the amazing espresso sounding drinks. Service was friendly and perfect! Jose was superb! read more

Met my aunt and my uncles here this morning with my dad and son. We had a 6 top and we got sat right away. I have a feeling this place fills up fast because before we knew it, it was busy!! There are two dining rooms and a bar with a pastry case. We got sat in back dining room, a good amount of room back there! We took a minute to order, our server was very nice and patient with us. I got the Dubliner Benedict. It had leeks and corned beef on a piece of rye. Two poached eggs and a paprika hollandaise. The right level of spicy! The hashbrown are killer! I now understand why you can just order them or order them stuffed! I got my son some bacon because he wasn't too hungry but he ate it all! My dad ordered monkey bread for the table. It was amazing!! I can't wait to bring my mother in law here. She's gonna love that monkey bread! For all 6 of us, under a $100. Great company and great food! My husband wants to go so we will be back! read more

Blue's Egg has become a regular stop whenever we're in Milwaukee. They're known for their great stuffed hash browns, but really, you can't go wrong with anything here. Again, the stuffed hash browns are great (there are many to choose from, including daily specials) and they can be added to most orders as a side if you're not looking to over-potato yourself. The various omelets and Benedicts that I have tried have also been great. Blue's might seem like a hole in the wall based upon its strip mall facade, but inside there is breakfast greatness. They have expanded the space over the years and also now take reservations, making it easier to plan ahead. The staff also couldn't be any friendlier - we'll continue to stop by a few times a year when in town. read more

A group of 8 of us came to an impromptu brunch here on a Wednesday, so we didn't have reservations. Thankfully the wait wasn't too long at all, but they did require that our entire party was there before seating us, which was annoying when 7 of us were already there and the eight was on their way. Once we were seated, the service was great. Our waitress was friendly, knowledgeable on the menu, and gave great recommendations. After we had ordered, she brought out complimentary watermelon to munch on while waiting for our meals. The fruit was very fresh and a nice touch. I got the burrata stuffed browns without bacon, which was their special browns for the day. It was absolutely delicious! I did season mine with more salt and their house hot sauce, which was a little disappointing both in terms of flavor and heat. I also got a side of monkey bread because I love sweet and savory during breakfast. I was between the monkey bread and the coffee cake and the waitress recommended the monkey bread "crunked," which was a special dipping sauce for an extra dollar. The monkey bread was REALLY REALLY good - I would HIGHLY recommend it! The caramel sauce it was drizzled with was delightful and initially I thought that was the "crunk" sauce that I was supposed to get with it but later realized it wasn't. It's too bad I didn't get to try that sauce because I'm sure it was equally tasty. I would definitely come back here! read more

Some of the dishes are a miss for me. The French toast is outstanding which bumps my rating up. The atmosphere isn't great. It gets to be pretty loud and there are always a lot of children. For the higher cost of brunch I'd prefer the atmosphere to be better. Highly recommend booking a reservation. read more

Really delicious breakfast spot. So popular and busy in the mornings highly recommend making a reservation online in advance. The "very stuffed hash browns" offer really yummy options to the standard mashed potatoes. Never have been to Blue's Egg before but after this breakfast, we went twice in one week after our initial visit! read more

This is one of my favorite breakfast/brunch places. I did have to wait to get seated, but this is not unusual. There is a counter seating but the seats do not have backs so not so comfortable. During my last visit, the service was excellent!! My server was very attentive and giving suggestions to improve my entree. The food arrived very quickly after my order was placed. The noise level is a little loud because the restaurant was full. read more

Great cozy little place with an awesome breakfast menu. The service was great, the food delicious. We will definitely eat there again. One of my favorite places in the area. read more

I'm coming back just for the mushroom hashbrown. I almost never order hashbrowns as I typically find them bland and too soft but these were perfect: Buttery, crispy, and stuffed with roasted mushrooms and artichokes with a chèvre topping. I got their special omelette that was genuinely tasty with spinach, asparagus, cheese, grilled onions and chicken sausage but honestly I could not stop eating the browns. It was all so much food and I still finished them. The hubs got a potato pancake with collards, eggs, and fried chicken. A very unique combo with warm spices and fantastic sauce. Our server was absolutely fantastic, so attentive and quick. Overall a lovely breakfast. Tip: make a reservation on OpenTable. They are hopping on the weekends. Also, get the hashbrowns. :) read more

Service was superior, Kellen was very friendly and helpful. Had Carmel banana French toast and it was best I ever had , Beyond expectations in portion size and flavor . Wife had an omelet and hash browns stuffed with pulled pork. Great taste and large portions. Highly recommended read more

Everything is so good here! Their portions are huge so highly recommend sharing with others. Their ingredients are made fresh and great pricing for the amount of food you get. Their hashbrowns are made really well here where it's crunchy on the outside. The house-made corned beef hash was also very good. Their eggs are poached well and the chili hollandaise was flavorful for the rooted veggie-hash dish. The cherry French toast was good and sweet. The savory dishes we had helped balance out the sweetness of the French toast. I would def come here and again! read more

Food is not good. I've never had sour Benedict with potatoes that smelled like rotten cloth.

Everything about this place was incredible and I will definitely go back too many good things to pick from. Service was spectacular as well.

Yum, yum, yum! I hadn't been to Blue's Egg in years and now I remember what the hype is! You have to start with the monkey bread - delish, so much better than a cinnamon roll IMO. I got the Blues Classic Benedict and oh my fish, the pulled ham is so craveable and the browns - crispy and flavorful! They also have fun ways to gussy up the browns - my friend got the ones with goat cheese and they looked delish! As always, it was busy, but service was good and of course, brunch was amazing! They also brought out some grapes for the kiddos with us which was a nice distraction. read more

After seeing all the reviews and perusing the menu, I decided to come here for brunch. I had the "Crispy Shrimp, Bay Scallop and Calamari Scramble." It was smothered with tomato sauce and paprika aioli. It was a little too much sauce for me, but I loved the abundant amount of seafood. The portions are quite big. I was tempted to get the stuffed hash browns too, but knew I wouldn't be able to finish all my food. I tried my bf's hash browns though, and liked how crispy it was. I would definitely recommend this place, but be prepared for a food coma afterwards! read more

A friend of mine recommended this place. She said on the weekend it's packed so suggested I try it on a weekday right when they open. I can see why it's packed.

This is the second time I have tried blues egg and left disappointed again. This place has rave reviews and is spoken very highly of but I just think there are better brunch places out there. I ordered the rooted veggie dish and was extremely disappointed in the quality. The poached eggs were hard and my food was cold. The veggie has was completely saturated in cooking oil and the hollandaise sauce was oily not creamy. In addition, it was not super busy and the service was not the greatest. I had to ask three times for my coffee to be refilled. I really wanted to like this place but don't think I will be coming back. read more

Went on Juneteenth Day and though many had off from work and the restaurant was very busy it was only a 15 minute wait to be seated. The server was great and our brunch was begun with a plate of butter and rhubarb jam to accompany the bread to come later and a small dish of watermelon. They also brought a water cruet and two glasses of ice. We orders a pulled pork omelette and something called Hopple Popple which was a mash of hash browns, fried onions, eggs, sausage, bacon, spinach, and hollandaise. Both of us also ordered rye toast to accompany or orders. Both were fresh and flavorful and too much for one person to eat in one sitting. In the past I've also had their Dubliner Omelet which features corned beef, every meal we'd had has been outstanding and we'll definitely be back. read more

Looking for breakfast? Look no further. This place has it all from beginning to end including a welcome help yourself coffee cart, serval baked goods/pies, a large menus with to choose from and friendly staff. If you're like me, when I go out for breakfast I'm ready for a cup of coffee right away. Should you have a wait for your table you can get your name in and then grab a cup of coffee that will be added to your bill when you're seated. I haven't noticed many, if any, places that do this so it's a win in my book. If you're more into lattes, no worries. This diner has them so you may want to wait for your caffeine kick until you're seated. I shared a pancake dish and the favorite scramble with a friend. We got so much food and we had leftovers. The hash browns were some of the best I've ever had. They are light and fluffy and not too greasy. The flavor was excellent. The scramble came with a ketchup sauce that reminded me of a flavorful marinara. Of course I couldn't leave without some baked goods. I had a hard time choosing. I liked the chocolate covered peanut butter cookie better than the espresso one. If I went back, I think would try one of the cake bites. read more

Quite possibly my favorite breakfast spot in Milwaukee They have more of a unique and bougie menu, but the food quality and service is excellent. For starters we had the monkey bread. The other reviews didn't lie. The monkey bread is to die for and is A MUST for breakfast. For my meal I had the Berry Stuff French Toast. Very flavorful and the fruit topping were very fresh. The homemade whipped cream on top was amazing. Wish I would have ordered more just to eat haha We also got the Dubliner Benedict. It was definitely different. If you're wanting something savory you may enjoy this. The corned beef had great flavor and the paprika aioli complemented it perfect. I would definitely come back and try other things on the menu. Everything we ate was great. Our waiter was super friendly and helpful. The ambiance was on the quieter side and the decor was nice. read more

This place was so hyped up to me that I think I just went in with very high expectations. Not the best but reliable brunch.

Great food. Great service. Great coffee. Very comfortable dining area. When the weather is warm, it is nice to sit outside. The only problem is everyone knows and loves Blues Egg, so it is often crowded. But, that is a high class problem to have. read more

We showed up close to 1:00pm on a rainy Sunday morning and thought we could catch the tail end of brunch, but our group of 3 still had a 30 minute wait, which I believe is an indication of a popular spot! The waiting area is not too big, so I definitely recommend joining the waitlist via OpenTable before arriving at the restaurant. Once we were seated, the service was quick and friendly. They start you off with some complimentary watermelon that comes on a plate along with whipped butter and jam for your toast (although I'm not sure if you would get this if your dish doesn't include toast). We ordered a latte which came warm (next time, we'll ask for it piping hot) and freshly squeezed OJ, which was good but felt a tad overpriced for the amount you got. The dishes we ordered - blue's hoppel poppel and frittata ranchero - were delicious and plentiful, and we especially enjoyed the sourdough toast, yum! Overall, we'd definitely come back and recommend you stop by, even if it's just to purchase a pie - yep, they sell pies here! And if you're looking for a boozy brunch, white claws are on the brunch menu (along with your more typical brunch bevs) which was weird to me but hey, to each their own! read more

A+ service at this place! We've been twice so far and I have to say, service is great! First time we were here, we went early in the morning, no wait. Our 2nd visit was at 10am, we waited about 5 minutes for a table for two. They always have specials. I had a special first time something colcannon cakes. On today's visit I went either special: breakfast risotto. It was delicious. On each of our visits we always have Gina for our server. She is friendly and efficient. I recommend going before 10am on weekend to avoid a wait. read more

There is always a wait, but that's because it's so darn good. The seafood scrambler (not the actual name) was even better than my high expectations! My wife loved the Hopple Popple, too. Pro tip: Get a cup of the excellent free coffee and wait for your table at the divider across from the bar. It has a ledge to set your cup on, and you can clearly hear your name when it's called. Our server, Alicia, was terrific. Very smiley, attentive, and made great recommendations for a marvelous meal. If you are in the mood for brunch, there really is no better place in the area. read more

I've been coming here for many years (13 years), and when Blue's first opened, their service was top-notch and the food, while it took awhile to arrive was perfectly done every time. Fast forward 13 years and at least 20 visits later, today was my first less than stellar experience. I've ordered their seafood scramble at least 5 times. Normally it's as advertised.. "Crispy Shrimp, Bay Scallop & Calamari Scramble- $16.95 shrimp, scallops, calamari, rich tomato sauce, paprika aioli and toast".. Today's version had all the seafood but none of the crispiness that makes it so good. I told our server I didn't need a replacement, but just wanted to let her know that this was not nearly as good as it usually is, due to the lack of crispy breading on the seafood. There was also wayyyy too much sauce on top of it, making everything taste just saucy. She apologized, and said she'd tell the people in the back, and "maybe take a few dollars off".. that's what she did, which I feel is not what Blue's would normally offer for a subpar meal. I didn't want a free meal out of it, but maybe a free dessert item, or take a drink off, or something.. it just was not a good meal, nor a great way to handle it, in my opinion. Maybe they had a bad day, so we'll definitely be back, but you can't mess up a signature item like the seafood scramble. read more

All around not a bad stop! We had been curious about this place because it is always busy with a line out the door. The place is relatively small, so it makes sense that the demand vs availability makes this place hopping! Food was really good, service was super friendly. The Bananas foster latte was SO sweet though, too sweet for me to finish. But all around a nice time. Get a reservation if you can or expect to wait! read more

Kellen was our server and was great! We are from out of town and stopped in here for breakfast before our hotel was ready. We started with the monkey bread and it was great! There were two of us and we split the hopple popple and the goat cheese stuffed browns. The paprika sauce was a little too much for me but my husband loved it!

Four of us ate here and had a fabulous breakfast. Service was great! Restaurant was clean and well staffed and they were hopping.

Make a reservation and show up on time with your full party. This spot is busy! Service is fantastic. Got us to our table right away and took care of us the whole way through. Our server was extremely knowledgeable about the entire menu, was super laid back, and always there when we needed something. Recommend the Bloody Mary, which comes with a small Miller Lite and all the fixings. I opted for the bowl of rejuvenation for breakfast. The bowl was dialed up on the healthiness and down on the flavor - could've used more than a tiny cube of feta and a bit more sauce to tie it all together. My family got big chunky servings of various hash browns that were a bit plain as well. Don't worry, they've got bottles of Cholula hot sauce on hand to solve any problem. Highly recommend the many seasonal baked goods - we had the blackberry coffee cake. read more

I will start that I have been here before. It was not my favorite at the time (about 6 years ago). I met a friend here for breakfast. The atmosphere is Good, kind of like a diner setting, but the food is more elevated. Abby waited on us, very nice. I had some sort of hashbrown wrap. I can't remember the name, but it is a popular item. My friend had a "giant" egg omelet (he took 1/2 home). The food was much better than I remember. Price point was about 1-2 dollars more than you find in your corner diner. Parking was adequate. read more

Was excited to try. Staff was great. Ambience and environment was welcoming and pleasant. Food was good but "heavy" and "rich". Got heartburn both times and I typically don't have that problem. Thought the first time was a fluke so tried again and tried something different and both times, myself and my party had heartburn/tummy issues. read more

Everything about Blue's Egg is what I love about this uniquely wonderful establishment that serves an unbelievably large and varied breakfast/brunch/lunch menu from 7am-3pm daily. The menu features several daily specials and every day one of those specials is chosen to donate the proceeds that came from that item ordered to a community charitable entity. Next, you would assume that this is the largest home in the neighborhood and all the Moms and Dads and Grandparents are making all the food and the teenage kids are serving the entire neighborhood. It's like Cheers for breakfast and brunch. It (I believe) is family- owned and I know there are at least 2 generations working there and they treat you like family on your first visit and forever more. I haven't experienced this level of warmth, excellent service even at 5-diamond restaurants. The menu is vast and changes daily with various specials. I am working through the breakfast items, starting ordering a few lunch items and those that are a combo (brunch items). I have been there 1-2 days a week for the past 4 months and have yet to have anything that hasn't been superior. It is a diner ambiance with a Grandma's kitchen feel to it - I would give them 10 out of 5 stars if I could - there is not a thing you can find less then optimal at Blue's Egg - and don't get me started on the bakery items and scratch made pies and chantilly cream pies!!!! P.S. they serve coffeehouse coffee decrease, great bloody Mary's and a variety if mimosas and spiked coffees as well. Treat yourself to the best place in town - you'll be hooked! read more

I've been to this spot a few times now. Each time has been very good. I've had various items, French toast is solid. I really like this item that is called "brown" which is basically a hash brown stuffed with various fillings. I get the mushroom and leak brown, which is outstanding. I have to have it every time there. I also really like the coffee served here. Service has always been friendly and efficient. A solid spot. read more

We have been countless times to Blues Egg, and it's one of our family's favorites! The service is good and friendly, and the restaurant has a cute, diner feel. We have lots of favorites off the menu. I always go back to the browns, any variety. All the food is good, though! The grain bowl is a great option if you want veggies, and all the breakfast items and sandwiches are delicious. We haven't tried very many of the baked goods, but they always look beautiful in the case. The few we have tried have been good. Blues Egg will continue to be one of our favorites! read more
