    Mexican skillet

    GREAT FOOD, location, ambience, friendly staff, nice parking lot and prices fair. We went Saturday morning and when we walked out the door at 10:30 am there were lots of people waiting, so I suggest get there by 9:30 am for no wait.

    Came here for a late lunch. There was no wait and we were able to be sat right away. They have a separate GF menu. I ordered a create your own breakfast wrap on a GF tortilla. They have unlimited veggies, cheese and sauces that you can add. It came with harbor potatoes. I also ordered a strawberry orange juice mimosa. Everything was delicious and the service was excellent.

    So here's how our visit to Egg Harbor went. We originally planned to eat at a different restaurant, but when we got there, the wait was over an hour. Not wanting to wait that long, we went with our second option--Egg Harbor--and honestly, it ended up being the better choice. The atmosphere was cozy and matched the feel of the place perfectly. They use a text system to let you know when your table is ready, which was very convenient. My wife ordered the Ultimate Skillet, and I had the Lobster Scrambler. Both were very flavorful and cooked perfectly. Our server, Juan, was handling quite a few tables, but you wouldn't have known it by the way he handled all of his customers, very attentive, helpful, and professional. The three ladies at the hostess stand were also really friendly and welcoming. Between the great food, top-notch service, and warm staff, we left feeling like Egg Harbor should have been our first choice from the start. We'll definitely be back, thanks Juanca and staff!!!

    Solid Brunch Spot in Schaumburg with Great Twists Tried Egg Harbor Café in Schaumburg and left impressed. It's a big, cozy spot with a laid-back, country-style vibe great for a casual brunch. We had the Smoked Salmon Benedict poached eggs, arugula, tomato, and hollandaise done right. One of the best versions I've had. The Cherrywood Avocado Toast was another standout, with fresh avocado, cherrywood bacon, and pickled red onions on sourdough. Also ordered the Dynamite Veggie White Omelet loaded with veggies, light but flavorful. We swapped the potatoes for a side of fruit, which was a nice touch. Don't skip the Maple Bourbon Bacon sweet, smoky, and crispy. And the Strawberry Orange Juice was super refreshing. Service was okay, not very attentive, could be improved. I'd rate this a 4 out of 5. Worth a visit if you're in the area.

    First time at Egg Harbor and it did not disappoint. I had the San Antonio skillet and it was fire--I cleaned the plate lol. Super cute and reliable spot for breakfast at a decent price. The service was great, and I even ended up buying one of their coffee mugs because it was too cute. Overall, I'd definitely come back next time I'm in the area!

    Traveling through the city and wanted a mid day meal. I think the flavor combinations of the scrambles and frittatas caught my eye. I ordered the Sir Dugan frittata. It was a savory selection that worked well with the buttered English muffin. I wish there was an Egg Harbor Cafe in my town.

    Egg Harbor is still going strong. There hasn't been much change since my last review. I've been getting delivery the last few years, and the food is still delicious. The lobster scrambler is still good, but the amount of protein has definitely reduced. I wouldn't recommend the farmer's benedict unless you like your benny to be a bit tart. The artichoke definitely makes the entire dish sour tasting. Not the best flavor combo. Hash browns are crispy and taste better than their harbor potatoes. The jam is still homemade and is fresh tasting. Service is quick. You can now pay your check via apple pay with a QR code, which is convenient.

    Great breakfast! It's been a couple years since we've been to an Egg Harbor. My wife and I split a Pot Roast Breakfast Skillet and added a Cinnamon Roll. Our server, Maggie was quite pleasant and accommodating. She split our skillet and let us order one scrambled egg and one over medium egg. Perfect! The breakfast dish as well as the cinnamon roll were great. Another nice touch here is they leave you both a carafe of coffee and ice water. Edit: Another nice touch is the ability to pay from your table by scanning the QR code on the check. I scanned it, selected Apple Pay and it was paid. Super easy. We'll be back to an Egg Harbor in the future.

    We flew into Chicago this morning and had a gift certificate to a nearby winery so we decided to have lunch here beforehand. It was a good decision. Although the place was very crowded, the wait was only six minutes. Our waiter, Juan, quickly came over to take our orders. The menu has plenty of breakfast and lunch options. I opted for the Harbor Cobb Salad. It had grilled chicken, bacon, eggs, avocado, blue cheese, scallions, and lettuce, along with ranch dressing. Each entree also comes with an English muffin. My husband had the Door County chicken salad. It had two scoops of chicken salad atop a salad full of vegetables with poppyseed dressing. We both loved our salads. Service was pretty fast considering how busy they were.

    Pumpkin Pancakes
    Alyssa M.

    We needed a place to stop for food and happened to seek this place out. Glad we did! Cute farm house cafe style and the service was attentive and fast. Joes breakfast wrap was delicious and the potatoes were softy but crispy. Some of the best breakfast potatoes I've enjoyed out! The cool thing is the potatoes are cooked in pure beef tallow! The seasonal pumpkin pancakes were fluffy and spiced nicely. We would love to visit again when back in the area!

    My waiter surprised me with gluten-free pancakes as a congratulations for graduating with my masters!

    HUGE gluten free menu and they have dedicated fryers for celiacs! Went for my graduation brunch with a party of 13. Staff, food, atmosphere, accommodations, and overall everything was amazing. recommend. My waiter even surprised me with an adorable plate of gluten-free pancakes and whipped cream and congratulations for graduating with my masters.

    We stopped at the Egg Harbor Cafe in Schaumburg on a Saturday morning. The wait time was about 10 minutes. Service and cleanliness was on point. My expectations for breakfast are always high. I had the lobster scrambler with potatoes and an English muffin. I was disappointed with the food overall. The lobster scrambler was rich and had a little too much cream cheese for me. The potatoes were okay. The best thing was their homemade jam. It was delicious, albeit it was more like a sauce. I used it on my English muffin and some on the french toast. I did taste the french toast. The texture and consistency was good, however I was picking up an after taste that was off putting. My wife had avocado toast and fruit that she didn't like. I think she felt the toast was bland. All the food was prepared correctly. The problem was mostly with the flavors which is subjective as it seems many people like Egg Harbor according to the reviews.

    Egg Harbor signature seasoning.

    Egg Harbor is now my favorite local brunch spot. Why? Consistently tasty food delivered pretty quickly to your table by very friendly servers. Get your very own hot pot of coffee left at your table along with the cutest Egg Harbor pottery mugs. And? We always get offered hot coffee to go! My favorite breakfast plate is Joe's Healthy Scrambler with chicken sausage, spinach, mushrooms and egg whites, topped with low fat mozzarella accompanied by fresh fruit and a wheat English muffin. If you want a lighter meal packed with flavor and cheese, this is a perfect brunch dish. My husband always gets the pancakes here. Prices are what you would expect for breakfast in this area.

    Happy birthday to me

    I gotta say, we've been in Schaumburg but haven't yet tried all the restaurants in the area (god…read moreknows we've been working on it!). So, one fine day I was picking up some dry cleaning down Roselle, and as I turned onto Schaumburg Rd to head home, I saw this place- remembered I was hungry- and promptly turned in! I got there just before 5pm, and was - by all accounts - their first customer of the night! I asked to sit on the patio, and (because I had to ask) checked to see if the patio was dog-friendly - it is! Hmm. Gotta bring puppy next time! The young lady sat me down, brought over a drinks menu and a food menu, and I promptly ordered a Cadillac Cocktail! Oh my! It was BIG- and GOOD. Damn! Highly recommended! A bowl of warm chips and salsa came right on it - on the house- and I began munching away while I pondered the menu. So - I decided on the Enchiladas Suizas with verde sauce! Oh - and with a choice of meat (I chose ground beef, but pollo was also on the board too!). As I was slowly drinking the Cadillac and munching on the chips, I gotta say I liked the THICK chips and the salsa had a nice little kick to it. If that's what you like? You'll LIKE it! My enchiladas suizas came out piping hot a short time later, and I began munchin' 'em down! VERY nice! If you like friendly, prompt service AND good food and drink? HIGHLY recommend you stop on it!

I had the al pastor tacos, which had just the right touch of pineapple and were absolutely amazing. The rice and beans were excellent too. They also have a beautiful patio that would be a perfect place to enjoy a meal. Unfortunately, the experience was overshadowed by the music. It was incredibly loud--constant booming house music that made it difficult to have a conversation. We politely asked if the volume could be turned down, especially since the restaurant wasn't busy, but were told it was for all the customers and they wouldn't adjust it. It's a shame because the food is so good, but the atmosphere made it hard to enjoy. I can't help but wonder if the loud music has driven away other customers as well. If they toned down the music, this would easily be one of our favorite Mexican restaurants.

Thankfully, Phat Phat stepped in to fill that gap. We drove 30 miles for a late lunch around 2:30 p.m. to hopefully beat the crowds. There's a huge parking lot in the back, the building itself is incredibly unique, and the interior is absolutely beautiful. It feels modern while still being warm and inviting. We wanted to try a variety of dishes, so we ordered two baskets of the Shanghai Soup Dumplings, the Enoki Mushroom appetizer, Chicken Fried Rice, Phat Phat Chicken, Nasi Campur, and finished the meal with the Mango Sago. Everything was incredible. The soup dumplings definitely filled the void that Din Tai Fung left behind. Every dish was fresh, perfectly seasoned, and served piping hot. The Mango Sago was the perfect palate cleanser and a refreshing way to end the meal on a hot summer day. The standout for me was the Enoki Mushroom appetizer. That will be a must-order every time we come back. We also have Indonesian family and have visited Bali, so we were excited to try the Nasi Campur. It was spot on. The satay is another must-order in my opinion. Our waiter was kind and attentive, and the rest of the staff were just as welcoming and pleasant.

My one son has major allergies so we spoke to the chef and he came back out to recommend the dishes he can have. It was great that he did so and gave us confidence that my son would be able to eat without worrying too much about the ingredients. I ordered the Shrimp Kalamakia with a side of the Greek Rice. My son with the allergies ordered the Pork Kalamakia with Greek Rice and no pita, my other son ordered the Traditional Pork Gyro with Greek Rice. The sides we ordered: Saganaki Fritters and Spanakopitakia. My son that ordered the Pork Kalamakia devoured it. He said it was tender and juicy and probably could have eaten 4 skewers. My Shrimp Kalamakia was nicely charred and seasoned, I squeezed some lemon and it provided a nice tang over the seasoning. The Lemon rice pilaf was soft and cook just right and was nicely balanced. I had one Saganaki Ball and it was delicious. My son had the Pork Gyros said it was really good and the Tzatziki sauce was creamy and rich with flavors. My in-laws bought the table desserts and I got the Baklava and my wife got Loukoumades (Greek Donuts with Nutella) and both did not disappoint. I really loved the citrus honey syrup in the Baklava. The Loukoumades had a crispy shell and nice a fluffy on the inside and the Nutella amount was perfect. This place is very good and well worth the price in my opinion. I loved the fact that they took the time to make sure my son with allergies was safe.

I love that there are unique Southern dishes like chicken and waffles, Southern fried chicken, and shrimp and grits. The coffee is hot, strong and accompanied by cute little baskets with individual creamers. The pancakes are super fluffy and served with a warm bottle of syrup. I am not a big fan of hot sauces as I don't eat spicy foods but had to dip a bite of chicken in the jalapeno hot sauce. It was really tasty and a tolerable amount of heat. I look forward to returning and trying even more versions of waffle or egg dishes here.

The frappe was also really good. My friend ordered the avocado toast, which she liked, but her caramel macchiato was off at first it tasted mostly like milk with a little caramel. They did fix it though, so I'll give them credit for that. Only downside was she ended up feeling like she got food poisoning afterward. The egg on her dish had a thin film on it, so we're thinking it might not have been fully cooked, which is concerning. Service itself was good and the staff was nice. Parking was also easy, which is always a plus. Good food overall, but that situation definitely threw things off a bit.
