    Smoked Salmon Benedict
    Maggie M.

    Recommend to come Very Early Sunday morning as there was no wait. It got packed when we left. We had a very friendly waitress and she was very great and knowledgeable of gluten free items. For the alcoholic drink she took the time to go check to make sure the ingredients used were gluten free for my friend who has celiac. Seems like they have a new menu since the last time I have dined at an Egg Harbor. They also list the calories for those that are calorie counting. I got the smoked salmon Benedict. I Liked the capers and dill. There was plenty of Hollandaise sauce for each bite. They also give you a good amount of the smoked salmon, which was Smokey and fresh. You get lots of potatoes too.

    My friends and I came here for breakfast after the Naperville 5K. There was no wait at 8:30am. They have a dedicated GF menu with a lot of options. The server confirmed the espresso martini was GF so my friend and I both ordered one. I informed the server I had a gluten allergy and would be ordering from the GF menu. I had the chocolate chip and banana pancakes with harbor potatoes. My food was delicious. My friends ordered the salmon benedict and the shakshuka. They have other options that you can switch out from the english muffin so my friend got the sautéed veggies instead. Unfortunately, when my friend was packing up her food, she found two hairs. Overall the server was really nice and attentive. Everyone did like their food!

    I love this place. It is a bit expensive cause I am gluten free and cause I want one of everything lol! But we did good today splitting stuff and still having enough for me for leftovers! The potatoes are cooked in beef tallow which adds just so much flavor and you feel so much better, not heavy greasy.. I can't wait to finish my meal for tomorrow's breakfast.

    Always a cozy spot for breakfast food at breakfast or lunch time. Their specialty pancakes, waffles, and French toast are always delicious. I had the Cinnamon Roll French Toast and really enjoyed it. They get busy on weekends, but it is pretty easy to get in on weekdays. Good breakfast food.

    I woke up earlier than normal on a weekend and was craving egg harbor. Thankfully for me, my husband and I got there by 7:30am and didn't have to wait to be seated. By 8:30ish the place was crowded and loud! If you're able to get there early, I highly recommend doing so. Parking can be tricky since this location is in downtown Naperville. Service throughout was quick. We were seated right away and waters were brought over to us shortly after. We ordered hot coffee and I love how their mugs are customized for the town it's in. For food I had the garden scrambler. This is a veggie scrambler with cheese and sour cream on top. It also comes with a side of potatoes and an English muffin. Their house jam?! So good! This dish is my go to when dining in at any egg harbor. It's consistently delicious and the perfect portion. Not overly large and enough for me to eat in 1 sitting. Pricing is pretty standard when compared to other breakfast places. If you download their app you're able to create an account which has a reward system. They offer a 5% promo code when dining in. If you're planning to be frequent this is a very nice bonus.

    It was my first time trying this place, the food was pretty decent. Except for my matcha, it didn't taste like matcha at all! But overall the service was excellent and the place is very nice and pleasant.

    If you've been to any Egg Harbor in the suburbs, this location provides much of the same experience. You can expect the restaurant to be quite busy with a decent wait time during peak business hours, due to the offering they provide here. That is, a high quality breakfast, with a little different than normal options, good execution, and a nice value. For a bit more of an upscale option, the prices here are reasonable -- particularly if you're comparing it to similar items available at other restaurants nearby. The service here is good. Even when busy, drinks are served and refilled promptly, and food is served hot. The food here is always good no matter which location you go to, and Naperville's location continues with the same level of excellence. You can always expect high quality ingredients no matter what you order, though I highly recommend the phenomenal lobster scrambler. Also make sure to check out their fluffy pancakes and harbor potatoes. You can't go wrong here though, as everything is consistently good to excellent. Overall, wroth a visit if you're in the Naperville area for a delicious breakfast. This is particularly good if you're looking for a different offering (sweet or savory) like shakshuka, rosti, Swedish pancakes, or crunchy french toast. But all the usual favorites are done well also!

    My husband and I met some friends for breakfast at Egg Harbor Café in downtown Naperville. Be careful parking. The parking lot that it is next to was full when we arrived. The adjacent parking lots are for other businesses. We parked on the street (two hour parking zone) next to the library. We had to walk down, and then back up, a steep incline to get to the restaurant. Once we got into the restaurant, there was a wait since it was a Sunday morning. The farmhouse theme was in full effect. I love the decorations that differentiate it from other Egg Harbor Cafés. I ordered the chocolate chip pancakes. They were delicious and on the healthier side. I highly recommend Egg Harbor Café in Naperville!

    I had been to other egg harbor locations, but this was my first visit to Naperville. On my visit, the place was packed! I made it to the check-in area and was told it would be about a 30-minute wait. It was about 15 minutes. They had some seating to wait, but most people were waiting in the hallway. Bacamato grill was the breakfast sandwich that I ordered. It was delicious! Served with a side of fresh fruit and breakfast potatoes. Lots of food! My fiance and I both ordered coffee, so they brought us a whole pot to the table. I will say all the staff that work here are constantly moving! From the hostesses, to the servers, food runners, management, and bussers. All seemed to have a smile on their face as well! Our server checked on us frequently. Parking is a little tight. We actually parked at the library around the corner. (Only recommend doing that if you are staying a short time). I would recommend!

    Busy, popular place!! We met friends here and had no trouble getting a table - but we definitely got there at the right time, it was soon packed! Good was good, service was great and they had many fun seasonal coffee drinks. Very accommodating with the baby we had. Would recommend

    The food is ok. Not bad, not great, just ok for breakfast. However, all the women in the family LOVE it! Service is great, very attentive to refills & our breakfast came FAsT. French toast was pretty solid but the turkey bacon was terrible - it's more like Canadian bacon. Is IS a nice place to sit and talk, and while it was early on Friday we felt no pressure to give our seats up. I like Eggs & Tasty Biscuit better....

    Avocado toast
    Missy J.

    Delicious food and fast polite service! They have amazing coffee and other drinks too. I got the avocado toast, it comes with egg but I subbed that for extra fruit. Huge portion!

    5 stars for Lemont. Probably 4 stars in Chicago…read more Walked in on a Saturday for an early dinner. It was 5:45, I didn't have a reservation, a they didn't have a table available until 7:30 but there were spots at the bar which they said was full service. My friend and I cozied up to it and ate there. What a surprisingly good experience. The staff was super friendly and that bartenders had great suggestions. I hate when people at the restaurant say everything is good. Not these young ladies. They made some sound suggestions which we followed. French onion soup and the steak frites were both excellent and priced well IMO. They have a really good whiskey/bourbon selection with a few hard to find bottles. I settled on a Blantons neat. They had Pappy, but I'm not wasting money on that anymore. Food came out quickly and we ate and watched a baseball game. The locals at the bar told us about their membership program where I guess for a small mo they fee you get a bottle of wine and a charcuterie plate once a month. Seemed like a pretty good deal. I don't live anywhere near there, but if I did I'd certainly join. In any case, if you live anywhere close, this is definitely a worthwhile restaurant to visit. Seems like there were quite a few singles there as well if you are looking to meet someone. I have no idea what the dating scene is like in Lemont, but this might be a good spot to try.

    I was craving steak frites, and discovered Barrel & Vine for a reasonably priced steak meal. The…read morechimichurri sauce with one of the steak options is absolutely amazing - I'd highly recommend. The food is honestly the best thing about this spot; the vibes aren't quite right for a special date night, but might be perfect for a birthday party or girls night out and service can either be hit or miss. If you come here, definitely make a night of it in downtown Lemont - there's lots to explore, whether for a nightcap or dessert after Barrel & Vine to turn it into a night.

    I finally got to try White Crane for the first time. It's been on my list to try for a while now…read more The inside looked very modern and the staff was very attentive. The menu for the Thai food looked pretty similar to most Thai places with the exception of the sushi. I had to get my regular pad see ew. The flavor was good with not too much heat. It was just enough. Not much I would want to change. Maybe I would ask for a little more heat. I also tried a little of my friends pad Thai with beef. The beef was a little tough, but overall not bad. I liked that the dish was not dry at all. From the Thai dishes, I would say that the food is pretty good. I wouldn't go out of my way for it, but would come back if I was in the area. Some of the sushi rolls seemed to be a bit pricy in my opinion, but maybe I'll try one next time just to try it.
