    An interesting outing for Sunday convertible ride drive breakfast. Had ordered crepes & pancakes that tasted ok. Servers were friendly & accommodating since we had no Reservations. I was a bit concerned after reading past reviews. The signs coming in didn't give warm vibe .... after coming in, it was hard to focus on food so no pictures of that!

    The atmosphere and old racist white folks. Not really sure what to make of it all if this will be a passing phase or longterm systemic problem. The pancakes were good but thirty dollars for an omelette breakfast with a side of small cakes and sausage seemed steep. And whats wrong about asking for no ice in my water? When it is delivered with a plastic straw already stuck in it, and yea, with ice. So difficult.

    Proprietors Brian & Cheryl of Egg-Cetera Café 241 E Frontage Rd. Waconia MN 55387 Hours - Monday-Sunday 7am to 12:45 Take pride in welcoming you and your family into their restaurant. The atmosphere is currently filled with seasonal Halloween decorations that take your eyes and mind on a trip that will put a smile on your face and stir some memories of Halloweens past. I'm told the Christmas decorations are quite extensive and will also be on display when the time comes. This alone has and will warm the hearts of many a customers and make the trip well worth your time. There's also lots of eye candy for those whom enjoy the outdoors with hunting lodge types of pictures of hunting dogs and hand carved and painted wild fowl and fish that have some blue ribbons attached to them is a much see. I have been a repeat customer now ever since my first visit to this exceptional now favorite breakfast spot. The owners have a passion for family and seniors and I have to say it's a local favorite with many regulars. The menu is very nice and the portions generous and the value is just right. I don't think I saw anything on the menu over ten dollars. I had a chance to chat with Cheryl whom is the kindest waitress that gets to know your order and moves like lightening and most times has your drink order before you even sit down. After going there a few times she has my order memorized and it's three of four variations and always offers some conversation that makes you laugh with some interesting scuttlebutt of the time. Then I have to say the eggs that Brian cooks are some of the best over easy eggs anywhere. The signature breakfast is the Egg-Cetera Omelet, this is one you would want to try if you have a hearty appetite as it is quite filling with all the ingredients nothing to add as it's all there. Lastly there is a display of the town of Waconia showing all the buildings and water tower, I don't know how many ceramic or hand crafted items they have but it's a lot and they are lite up and one has a good time just looking at that for quite some time. After going back to it a few times I now know there is a story to almost each and every piece. People from around town have donated personal items so it has become sort of a community effort to build this display. I really wanted to write this up for the Egg-Cetera Café and if you go there to check it out you will know why. So my secret is out...This is a great place to go, do yourself a favor and enjoy a breakfast or lunch while the decorations are on display. Enjoy!

    My gf and I enjoyed a light breakfast this morning at this little neat cafe. The site from the outside doesn't look like much. However upon entry it looks simply home comfort on the inside. My gf and I had crepes, sausage and other breakfast combos and were impressed by how tastefully prepared our dishes were. If you come through Waconia check this place put off Frontage road.

    The Cheese curds were good as always, but I do feel like I need to drop them a star year over year…read more The waitress informed me that they got a new Chef, which unfortunately leads to the disappearance of a few of my favorite items from the menu, including the Buffalo Chicken flatbread and Chicken bacon ranch flatbread. I tried the stag burger this time around though, and it was quite delicious! I was not so impressed with the Margarita pizza that my wife shared with me though. Unfortunately this Friday evening out on the patio they had a DJ doing some music. The volume level was appropriate for dinner, but it got a bit too heavy with club vibes as dinner progressed, which surprisingly, being The Chainsmokers fan that I am, I did not find myself appreciating. This place overall still has my recommendation, but I left a little bit let down compared to past experiences.

    We had a mixed experience overall. Our waiter was absolutely incredible-attentive, friendly, and on…read moretop of everything. He handled every issue professionally, and I would absolutely request him again. Unfortunately, the food didn't live up to the service. I ordered the watermelon salmon salad, but it arrived without the salmon, so they had to bring it out separately after the fact. The chicken dish was the standout of the meal, it was flavorful and cooked really well. The sea bass was just okay and didn't leave much of an impression. The steak was cooked well to the requested temperature, but it lacked seasoning and could have used a lot more flavor. The service and views as we sat outside is what would bring me back, but the kitchen has some room for improvement. Great staff, average food.

    3 of us went for brunch. Kate was our waitress and she was great! The building is clean with a…read morefairly open layout. My MIL is in a wheelchair so it was wonderful that they had a single accessible bathroom. We ordered the blueberry pancakes. The menu said $14. We didn't realize it while there, we were charged $16 with extra for blueberries so we missed something on the menu apparently. That price is outrageous for pancakes. We had the strawberry cream cheese French toast. Great flavor. It came fairly cold unfortunately. Would totally get again though. We also had the Smokin Hash w/ Brisket. Big portion. Flavorful. Lots of smoke in it. Not much queso at all, if any. Next door the same owner also owns a cool looking BBQ joint that we can't wait to try. I realize this is only a 3 star, but the menu is fabulous, location is great and service was wonderful.

    Serving brunch 4 days a week in the old Buddy Boy building…read more We stopped in on a Thursday morning and were seated at the breakfast bar. I enjoyed the clean aesthetic they did to the building while keeping the refurbished seating from before. The staff was all kind of running around and didn't seem to communicate well, often food was sitting in the window and as a prior server, all I could think was "it's going to die". It seems they would benefit from having a FOH lead or hostess who also did bussing and other support staff duties. We ordered the Breakfast Burrito w/ brisket and the House Breakfast w/ brisket. The burrito lacked flavor and essentially was a giant burrito loaded with potatoes, a lil' egg and some chopped up brisket. For the house breakfast, the hashbrowns were crispy with perfectly basted eggs. Unfortunately, the brisket was some of the worst we've had and that was such a letdown since they are affiliated with Buddy Boy, and we've had amazing food from them in the past. The syrup for the pancake was the star of the meal. It was like a chocolate- caramel syrup that I could have dreamed up about several dishes for.
