This was my second time here. Sad to say I was very disappointed this time. I don't remember being so thrilled the first time but thought I would give it another try. The two stars are for our service. The waiter was very nice and kept checking to see if we needed anything. However the food was disappointing. First off the coffee. They leave a thermos at your table so you can refill it yourself which is great however, the thermos was sticky and messy. With covid around cleanliness should be important. We then received our food it was ok. We ordered the Aztec omelette and cinnamon roll French toast. The omelette was ok a little too spicy for my liking and the French toast had raw pieces of wet eggy toast. Ok whatever still ok. What was the disappointing part we're the flies! We were fanning flies away during most of our meal and we were eating indoor! Imagine trying to enjoy your breakfast while flies are landing on your food! It was disgusting, one fly landed on the French toast and went under touching it on both sides As we were eating the table next to us was getting prepped for the next group. They wiped the table set the cups and water jug then sprayed the table. Instead of spraying first spraying the table down and then putting the cups and jug after so I could imagine the spray getting on the cups and water yeah I'm definitely not going back. read more

Beware of the wait list game on weekend. Many guests put their names on the wait list from offsite and then wait for a text b4 coming over to eat. Some may drive around to other restaurants looking for a quicker table. If you go there and make a reservation, be prepared to watch others show up and get seated ahead of you. Put another way, you should think twice b4 showing up at the restaurant without already being on the wait list. read more

Egg Harbor Café - Booths - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Glenview, Illinois

Fabulous Food! Great Staff! Great Ambiance! So glad we found such a great place!! Love that they can accommodate with Gluten Free options.

We came on a Sunday afternoon, so there was a wait, understandably. The line moved very quickly though, and there was even free coffee by the front door, which was a very nice touch. The atmosphere was very cozy; it definitely makes you feel like you are at a chic brunch place in Door County, WI. We ordered the chorizo chilaquiles, sweet potato skillet (a special), a side of cheese grits, rainbow pancakes, and the itsy bitsy pancakes platter. Overall, the food was satisfying and hit all the right spots. And we were very impressed by how quickly the food came out. Lovely brunch place. We'll definitely be back. read more

Never disappointed! Always a great place to have some breakfast. Service is outstanding and the coffee is great. This time I tried their French Toast Special which was a tour of Italy. It's was great not to sweet and the fresh berries and granola where a great company. The coffee is always nice an warm and love they bring you a small container to continue to keep fill your cup. The Egg Harbor potato's are a great side dish not greasy at all and the organic ketchup compliments them very well. The best part is you can always have some coffee to go. read more

My first time coming to this location and I thought it was mediocre. While service was attentive, I couldn't help but get the feeling of being rushed to dine quickly and leave. Anyway, on to the food. Ordered their special of the day which was a breakfast croissant sandwich. It came with potatoes and a small bowl of fruit. The sandwich was good, I've always enjoyed croissant-wiches. Though the croissant itself wasn't toasted, the inside made up for it. Cheesy, eggy, and bits of spinach. I think if the croissant was toasted, it would add another layer of flavour and texture. The potatoes lacked a lot though.... not crispy at all, limp and soft. Similar to half cooked french fries, you know, those sad semi-clear looking ones. My friend ordered some sort of lobster scramble or something. It was tasty, but really salty! Overall an average experience and average breakfast food for the price. Great for families though! read more

This is my new favorite breakfast place. I discovered it by ordering delivery during Covid. The menu is very interesting. I love the variety and there's so many cheese options! The cozy skillet is delicious - I tried the apple and brie combo. The sweet potato and brussels sprouts skillet is also delicious. I read their website afterwards which explains this restaurant is part of a family run business. They have some great values (people first, cage-free eggs, donations & ethical coffee supply chain) so all-round I like this place. For breakfast delivery - the food arrived warm, fresh and not greasy (which often happens with other breakfast places). read more

Lovely restaurant to enjoy with a group of friends. The food and service is outstanding.

Be prepared to wait in line for 15 to 20 minutes at the weekends to find a table. Very delicious food, and the tea comes in a very nice pot! If you are a tea lover like me, you'll like the amount of tea! Very kid friendly and a cozy place. Highly recommended! read more

Nice service and environment. However, the harbor potatoes and meat in the skillets were not the best. Over fried, overcooked. I'll go back to try something different. read more

It's been a while since I ate at this location. This morning I was set on ordering the San Antonio skillet but when I requested orange marmalade for the accompanying muffin I was advised that they no longer have that. I decided to try the shrimp and grits instead. That was a very bad decision. The dish was a gloppy mess of barely defrosted shrimp embedded in gluey cheese with an underlayment of unrecognizable grits. When the waitress asked how everything was I replied awful and she laughed; it was laughable. I knew I wasn't going to get Wishbone quality but I did expect a competently prepared dish. The highlight of the meal was that I had $7.92 credit I could apply. read more

Food is decent nothing special about it well overpriced not worth the value at all. Don't waste your money.

This is a second location that I have visited (the first being the one in Lake Forest) and I loved it just as well. The service is friendly and attentive, the menu has something for everyone. I tried the Green Tomato Eggs Benedict with a side of cheese grits and it was super tasty. The portions are very generous so I didn't finish the grits. Too bad I was running errands for the next couple of hours, otherwise I would have definitely taken them home. They used to have very neat tea pots that you set on top of the cup and push down to dispense - these are now gone because too many people did not use them properly. However, they still use good quality loose tea, just in a different pot. Also, try their Chicken Tortilla Soup, it is wonderful! In warm weather, they have outdoor seating, with plenty of umbrellas, and I thoroughly enjoyed that. read more

Pretty good breakfast restaurant everybody is cool it's has a really nice vibe to it. Food is decent it nothing like OMG THIS IS THE BEST THING EVER but it's just simple American breakfast. Service great. read more

Egg Harbor Café - Ice tea pretty good but if you like it more sweet just add some sweetener - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Glenview, Illinois

For breakfast and/or brunch, you can rarely go wrong with Egg Harbor. We came here on New Year's Eve and the place was PACKED!! Even with the crowds and the wait, the staff kept everyone happy, kept service to the Max and made everyone happy!!. The food was out remarkably fast for the crowds and still tasted just like it should. If they are this good when they are jammed, I can't wait to try this place when they actually have time to give full customer service!! Best Egg Harbor that we have been to by far!! read more

I would eat breakfast here everyday if I could. Portions were just right, eggs were cooked perfectly. They had outdoor seating which is a plus. Can't wait to go back! read more

One of our local go to's for breakfast! Very family friendly atmosphere and the service is always on point.

Egg harbor has always been a classic brunch place for me. They have amazing options between skillets, omelets and other variations of egg related foods. However, their menu has shortened in recent years which was a little disappointing. I wish they included more of their original menu items such as the crepe options or more waffles/ pancake options. Though their food is still amazing, and the service is also great! Some of the most friendliest staff I have met. read more

Hey, Texas French toast is some good eats! Especially when they have zest of lemon icing, powdered sugar, strawberries, blueberries and granola crunch atop. Yes, you're not reading that wrong. Granola. Who would have thought, right? Everything about this breakfast was tasteful, and I absolutely devoured every single morsel ! This combination is considered a special though, so get it while it's in season! read more

Love going to breakfast here! Tried the cinnamon bun coffee and it was fantastic! By the way they give you your own pot for constant pouring. Since I was going in really hungry I decided to load up on some carbs. Actually a ton of carbs! I went with the winter in Italy French toast, served with roasted apples, mascarpone, golden raisins, walnuts, powdered sugar and caramel sauce. I felt like a fatty but it was so delicious, I didn't want it to go to waste. There's no shame here, except for my friend giving me the stare like "are you really going to eat all that?" Hell yeah I did! This place has a pretty big gluten free menu for those who need it. Also, a decent sized kids menu. For Dr. Seuss bday come here to get your green eggs and ham! They have it. Lots of great breakfast and lunch items. Love their homemade berry preserve that comes on the side of the certain dishes. It's the best I've ever had. Come here and check it out! read more

First, the service is outstanding. There's plenty of variety and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming.

Stopped in for breakfast. Nice, cozy atmosphere and friendly staff. Ordered a bacado omlette (bacon, avocado, jack cheese, sour cream and green onions). Meal came out fast. The omlette was nice and thick. Their house-made salsa was good! I also enjoyed their house made spread for the english muffin. The meal will definitely fill you up! If I'm ever in this area again I won't hesitate to stop in! read more

Very frustrating experiences with carry out. This is the 2nd time I have ordered carry out meals off of their gluten free menus and received gluten items in my bag...a very serious problem because I have celiac disease. This used to be my favorite "safe" place to go to and order out from. No more. They are just not attentive enough anymore and when I called did not seem aware of how dangerous this mistake is for a family with celiac disease. You've lost a frequent customer. Bye bye. read more

Consistently amazing every time. Food is incredible, as is the service. They have lots of nice small touches, like bringing a carafe of coffee, tea, or iced tea to the table for refills. They'll also give you a drink to go, which is a bonus. They have a spam free rewards program, and the perks come quickly. They also have an online waitlist, so you can lower your wait time onsite. The only negative thing I can say is the wait is often long. Highly recommended! read more

When travelling, it is always stressful trying to find safe, gluten free options for my daughter who has Celiac. We were thrilled to find this place walking distance from our hotel. We ate there every morning while visiting the city. Lunch options are just as good and plentiful as the breakfast options. Staff was hustling and super friendly. Food comes out fast but is very fresh. Love that all gluten free items are served on a separate colored plate - they are taking that extra step to avoid cross contamination. It was the first time my daughter had a cinnamon roll in a while and she said it was amazing! read more

At my recent visit for breakfast with a few friends I ordered a breakfast skillet. I haven't been here in a long time and found prices to be a bit higher than pre COVID which is understandable since all prices are up. My friends and I had been commenting about not going out to eat much anymore and one said she encountered a restaurant that added a $5 Insurance charge on to every bill to pay for back of the house insurance benefits. Here's what I encountered at EH on this visit. My friend and I each ordered a similar item but hers was an omelette and mine was a skillet costing $1 more. Mine came with an English muffin with jam/preserves. Maybe 1 tbsp. I asked for sour cream and hers came with sour cream. I was given a tiny little bitty cup, same size as the jam, with approximately 1 tbsp. I also asked for extra cream for my coffee. Upon reviewing my receipt later (was too engrossed in convo to look at while at the restaurant) I noticed I was charged $1.40 for two condiments. A dollop of sour cream using retail price for this comes out to $.18 and coffee cream comes out to $.14. I'm glad I didn't ask for ketchup, salt or pepper. Tipping everyone and extra charges on top of increased prices are getting out of control. Recommendation to all restaurants: just adjust meal prices and stop with the surcharges. It makes me not return to the restaurants that do this. The food was hot and good. Taking two stars off for being annoyed for the tacked on cost. read more

Came here on a whim earl and was seated in less than 7 minutes on a Sunday am around 930am. Enjoyed endless coffee and the coffee flavor of the day! Caramel pecan. It was good but I think it was an added syrup not brewed. The lobster scrambler was delish and there was no hunting for lobster. The chicken sausage scrambler was great and they allowed me to amend it as well. The corned beef hash was tasty Nd not oily which was a relief. The English muffins were a bit over toasted and crispy upon arrival. The house potatoes were great And needed minimal salt. Will be back!!! read more

The quality of food has really gone down. There was a time when I'd recommend Egg Harbor - it was out go-to place for breakfast for years. Today, however, the food wasn't good. It didn't taste good. It wasn't fresh, well prepared, or warm, and frankly, it was a real disappointment. There are other options in the area and I'd suggest you try one of them. I wish we had. The service was poor too, but that's forgivable if the food is good, which it was not. read more

Well, I guess not everyone can be pleased. I remember that my wife and I had come here in once before. But forgot if we liked it or not. When it comes to the staff, they are and were very friendly and welcoming. But when it comes to the food. My wife and I found out that we did not really like the place that much last time we visited. The food itself is very plain. Not a whole lot of creation when it comes to the mixing of ingredients. And the best part, is when I received my French toast, it was as if someone just threw some sugar and cinnamon onto it. The orange juice to me tasted watered down and not freshly squeezed. I ask our waitress and she stated that the do not water it down, but they also do not freshly squeeze it in house at this location. So for my review the people / staff are friendly and welcoming. But when it comes to the food a.k.a breakfast, I'd look elsewhere. But to each its own. read more

Food is LITERALLY AMAZING! Easily one of my favorite breakfast spots in Glenview. I usually get the pancakes with a side of their hash brown/potato bites. You should definitely try that out! One thing I don't like - you never know what the wait time is going to be. One time I went, I had to wait about 30 minutes for a table, whereas, another time, they took me in right away. From my understanding, they do not take reservations but, they might start doing that once dine-in opens. read more

Went to this restaurant over the weekend. Parking close and free. I put our names on the list for about a 20 minutes wait but in ten minutes got called in, which was great. Hostesses were very friendly. I ordered cornbeef hash breakfast, which was really great!! I also ordered a side of pancakes which tasted like any other pancakes I had but the cornbeef...very good. Ambience is nice and our server was friendly and decent service, took slightly longer to get our bill at the end but was fine overall. I would come back again. read more

Nice place to eat your breakfast with family and friends. All the crews are very nice.

Though I refuse to ever consume breakfast unless suffering from great intemperance in drinking, I accompany my better half for his frequent feedings and was rather impressed with the variety of inexpensive options at Egg Harbor. I ordered Pumpkin-flavored coffee and chamomile tea, which was served out of an infuser. My husband ordered Matt's Meaty Skillet, apparently "named after him" and appearing rather enticing. The farm decor is quaint, modest and homey. The booth seats - which I liken to outdoor park benches - were a bit uncomfortable. The service was slow for my taste, but still pleasant. Certainly worth future visits. read more

NOT celiac friendly! My dd was glutenized here with the "gluten-free" pancakes. To add injury to insult the pancakes tasted terrible and were not fully cooked through. My omelette was so-so and was served with a wheat English muffin even though I ordered off the gluten free menu. Lack of attention to both the food and the environment. The booth divider was covered in dust and had a cobweb in the corner. Disgusting! Definitely not coming back here. read more

Our favorite breakfast place in Louisville. We tend to continue ordering our favorites - eggs Benedict is the best anywhere. Also great hash brown potatoes and grits. read more

I've been here two times now and I'm so thankful for a place that cares to have gluten free offerings! Sadly, my local breakfast/brunch spot burned down in Oak Park. I've had eggs, pancakes, a cinnamon roll, corned beef hash, chilaquiles and everything was delicious. Also the pot of coffee on the table and the free refills are just such a nice touch! My one criticism would be the butter. I had to ask for a some more butter the first time I went because I couldn't tell why my pancakes weren't getting the right flavor. I hadn't had anything sweet for breakfast in a really long time and I was looking for that sweet-saltiness you get with good butter and maple syrup. Then I realized the butter must've been whipped with a LOT of water; it didn't taste like anything. Also, this was small but notable, when I went the first time, we asked the waitress how the corned beef hash was and she recommended it but said we should get it "extra crispy." It was amaaaaazing! Ok, I have two criticisms. The next time I went I asked for it "extra crispy" and it was not. I didn't complain but the waitress noticed I wasn't eating it. She asked if it was to my liking and I said, "not really." She said she'd bring a me a new one. That was very nice but it took forever and they only burned it a little, flipped it like a patty and then burned the other side a little so that the middle was all still raw. It's hash, so it needs to all get some heat on it by spreading it out and kind of sautéing it all. The upside to this was now I had corned beef hash for at least another few days where I threw out the burnt parts and made it to my liking at home. read more
