We had a group of 8. Initially the maître d was a bit rude, but once we were seated, the waitress was great and good with our 2 seven year old boys. Eggs Benedict were perfectly cooked, Bob's Benedict has great corned beef hash in it, and the French toast supreme was also very good. The bacon waffle tasty but too small. On a Monday in August at 8:30 am the restaurant was completely full. read more

Clean. Good service. French toast was mediocre though. My daughter had pancakes and they were good. They have real whipped cream. Fast.

My first yelp post. Had to take the time to share how delicious the Bob's Benedict (with his own hash) was.

A staple of breakfast in the Ogunquit area. Decent food, kinda cramped, busy place. Staff is fairly attentive but when it's busy they run around, nothing bad, just a fact of life at The Egg & I. Pricing is fairly average compared to other places in town. We go every year and will continue to do so. read more

Meh. The pancakes were heavy and chewy, the bacon was tough and the eggs were average. The maple syrup had a funny taste and the silverware was flimsy. The breakfast burrito was also mediocre but the home fries were quite good. read more

Over-rated, tourist trap. This has been voted "best in the area"? I would hate to see the worst. Absolutely nothing special on the menu -who doesn't do blueberry pancakes?? Next thing you know they will be making a smiley-face on one with whipped cream ears, bacon mouth and m&m eyes. Granted, I haven't had breakfast at any of the other places in or around Wells, but I would put the service and quality of food on par with a good day at a Denny's or Shoney's (so, not great). Waited a long time for our greeting, drinks, food, and even longer to get a check. No, the food wasn't bad, but for the price the portions were disappointingly small and the items were just not creative. $10 for biscuits and gravy? Must be some godlike gravy. $8 for a single "Belgian" waffle that wasn't any bigger than the average free hotel breakfast waffle; with a spurt of whipped cream, pat of butter, and fake syrup. My friend ordered the steak breakfast and that was probably 4 ounces, for $14. I would definitely look elsewhere, like The Maine Diner, where they will at least take credit cards (welcome to 2016?). I wouldn't go back. read more

Bob's Bennedict.....gets a 2 star rating.........Sauce was not at all lemony....I have never had such a bland tasting sauce on my bennedict before.I hate to say this but the coffe was "not good at all" It was lacking a robust coffee flavor..I'm not sure what blend they use but its time to change it. I can drink 3-4 cups at a sitting when I am out but my wife and I only had 1 cup each. Waitstaff including hostesses where awesome !!! They where all friendly ! All and all the egg and I won't be a ""DO-Over""" again...........I like Condons doughnuts, and I believe the name "sunrise" breakfast restaurant across the street from Varano's And square toes in Kennebunk to be my favorite breakfast spots over and over.Im sorry Egg and I..........I wont be back !!! read more

We arrived at 9am on a Saturday and were seated without a wait. The coffee was served immediately and breakfast shortly thereafter. The waffles were perfect. read more

I'd heard, and read, a lot of good things about The Egg and I so my girlfriend and I swung in for breakfast on our first morning in Ogunquit (10/4). The service was so-so, as was the food quality. You get a huge portion for the price, so that was good - but I didn't see what all the fuss was about. I'll let you decide for yourself... read more

The Egg and I isn't good.. It is fantastic! I was fortunate enough to visit in the off season. The Bob's Benny was fantastic, as was the Veggie Benny. Our neighbors raved about the blueberry pancakes which were covered with tons of blueberries. The coffee was very good as well. Service was very quick, and waitress was attentive to make sure we were doing ok, and offered us more coffee several times. read more

I thought it was a very quaint place. I really enjoyed the food and it was pretty moderately priced to me. I just got an egg sandwich, but I really wanted more! It was great and it was fun to be there in a big group. read more

Just finished a great breakfast! The food and service was excellent. I enjoyed the "Breakfast Sampler" of 2 eggs, 2 bacon, 2 sausage, and 2 French toast for under $9! My kids had the French toast and choc chip pancakes. Our server was so nice to draw several pictures on the front and write a nice message on the back of the receipt! read more

I had no complaints about the food when I came to have breakfast here a couple of years ago. My omelet was cooked perfectly and the service was great despite a minor mix up of our order. The inside of this restaurant is kind of a hectic, bring your kid so they can scream their head off kind of place, which didn't thrill me but if that's okay with you check this place out. read more

My boyfriend and I ate here this past weekend on Saturday morning. We had to wait about 5 minutes to get a table which wasn't bad at all, I thought we would have to wait a lot longer. I ordered a Greek omelet which came with toast and hash browns. My boyfriend had two fried eggs and hash. It was good, not the best breakfast I have ever had, but it was still good. For the price, the portions were very large. I should have ordered one of their eggs benedicts, I will definitely get that next time I eat here. read more

This is a great place for breakfast if you want a great menu and a great breakfast while in the Ogunquit area! Will return.

even if you don't like eggs.... it's great. Low key lots of choices and friendly.

Great breakfast. Showed up with 21 friends and Janai took excellent care of us. All happy with our meals. Eggs Benedict rocked!!! Fresh food and incredible prices. A true must if you're here. read more

Big menu with lots of variety and great prices. Very good pancakes. Fast service. On a weekend, the line can wrap around the building into the late morning. read more

Immediately seated as soon as we walked through the door (Tuesday 10 am in May) an asked if we wanted coffee. Hubby said coffee was best plain and without cream. I wanted something savory so I ordered an omelet with was stuffed with sausage, peppers, spinach and cheese. It was yummy and would have been terrific with salsa. Hubby ordered the 2 egg, 2 bacon, 2 sausage and 2 pancakes. For $1 more, he upgraded the pancakes to blueberry pancakes. Delicious! Fluffy! Filled with blueberries! Happy bellies afterwards. We were full until about 4:30 pm and a day of shopping at the outlets. Great breakfast and service! read more

Egg & I Pancake and Waffle House - Omelet with home potatoes and toast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Ogunquit, Maine

See all

This place has a pretty good breakfast menu. The place was quite busy when we got there around 10 AM, we were seated quickly though. Our waiter seemed a little overwhelmed with our party of four adults, he forgot our juice and toast and had to be reminded, but was apologetic and brought those out to us right away. To be fair, it should be noted we had a baby with us and several special requests. The food was good, especially the banana pancakes. They have a selection off eggs benedict but none in the party tried those. The price for the food amount and quality is very good. Other than our very small juice and toast issue everything was as should be expected. I'd go there again in a heart beat. read more

Your typical greasy spoon. Dated decor. On the expensive side for diner food and CASH ONLY on top of it! End of story.

Good pancakes! Blueberry came with blueberry butter and the whole bottom layer of the pancake was solid blueberry. Well worth the $1.50 extra for real Maine maple syrup. read more

Your average bacon and egg and pancake place. It only takes cash. I have a summer home nearby. It is Nothing great. Long long line in the tourist season when there are so many better choices in OGT. Probably because there is available parking. read more

Me and my girlfriend were there around 10 am on 6/18/15. We saw it driving by while looking for a place to eat breakfast and it just caught our eye since we like little diners. The coffee was very good and the raspberry amaretto french toast I ordered was very good and the breakfast sampler my gf ordered was very good as well. I did not like the bacon as I feel like it had no flavor. Our waitress also seemed like she was not in a good mood and didn't want to talk to us anymore then she had too. All in all if we are back in that area we will be going back. read more

Very solid breakfast joint. All good is fresh and they move the line quickly (they is always a line). Longest wait has been 15 minutes, even with a party of seven. Remember that this place is cash only. Very kid friendly and the staff is very friendly and efficient. read more

We got here around 10:30 am. We were told there would be a 20 minute wait, but we were seated in less than 10. The eggs Benedict was very good. The blueberry pancakes were full of blueberries and topped with blueberry butter. They only take cash or travelers checks, no plastic. There is an ATM available. read more

This has become somewhat of a tradition for the family. At least once every time we stay in Ogunquit, we have to get breakfast at the Egg & I. And yes, the wait can be awful, and yes, the place is cramped...but i'll be damned if it ain't the tasties breakfast in the area! read more

The pancakes are thick! I prefer thinner but they were ok. I ordered the Almond joy pancakes (a little over loaded and sickening) and my husband got the regular pancakes which were ok as well. The waitress was nice. Just ok. Also its a cash only place. read more

I highly suggest the Corned Beef Hash - there are two kids make sure you get the homemade one. Just remember that they only take cash.

Food was excellent. I had the country fried steak and the coconut French toast. Very tasty and cooked great. Good atmosphere, great town. Problem was the waitress. Poor service. Waited too long for coffee, no refill of beverages. We had to ask another waitress to do it for us. read more

Very good service. Home fries had a bit too much paprika. They take only cash, but you can get money from ATM machine in lobby, for which you pay a $2.75 fee. read more

Best breakfast around - hands down! They have an awesome selection, cozy atmosphere and of course the food - speaks for itself. They even have scratch made corned beef hash (which I am very picky about) that was to die for! We are locals and sad that they are only open seasonally because we return as often as we can! read more

This place is always crowded but they do a good job of moving people through. It is cash only so be prepared. I'd give the food a 3 and the staff a 5. Hash was good but the home fries were mushy. We got a 1/2 cantaloupe which was fresh and good. Our waitress was timely and friendly even though it was very busy. read more

This was an incredible meal! The bobs corned beef hash was excellent, especially in the eggs Benedict. The toasted coconut French toast was the best French toast I ever ate. Overall, extremely affordable, great food, and great service. read more

I'm not sure why people have such bad things to say about this place. The food and service were great. The only gown fall is they only accept cash. We'll definitely visit again read more

Best breakfast I've had in the entire country. We travel a lot for swim meets and sporting events and out of everywhere I've been this was by far the best breakfast. Will definitely be back. read more

We made quite a few visits to this restaurant, the previous visits were fine. This time a bus came in after us and our order was lost ( even tho we placed our order before the bus unloaded) we got served after the bus party not good. read more

We decided to try the restaurant today after a number of people said how good it was. I am not a difficult person to please. The wait was short, the staff was very courteous but I probably had the worst omelete ever. I ordered one of those "create your own" with 3 indgredients; so I choose Spinach Feta and Bacon. I know its all about moving tables and making money but I sure would haved liked the person who cooked my meal to have to eat it. Most of the bacon in the ometle was RAW. Also, I think they used canned spinach. It was watery and had a horrible taste to it. I made it through about a 1/3 of my meal and gave up.. Not sure i will try the place again, but if I do, it will be with something very basic. Hopefully they wont screw it up. There are a lot better breakfast places in the area for the money they charged and you cant even use a debit card. When I travel, I prefer to use plastic and not walk around with a lot of cash. read more

Overall good food and friendly service. Banana nut pancakes were awesome....i think any of their pancakes would be good. My boyfriend got the steak and cheese omelet which was phenomenal. My only negative comment would be that the service was slow in terms of how long it took to get our food. Other than that I would recommend this place read more

The food is so much better than most chain places. Their chicken fingers are real strips of breast that are hand battered. The raspberry iced tea is the only one I've ever had that is available unsweetened. Warning: the one in Ogunquit, ME only takes cash. ATM on premisses. read more
