This place is a nice little take on small menu , higher quality. The service is excellent and attentive. The ambiance is nice for a busy corner restaurant. My only complaint would be the small menu , I understand the reason. It's better to have a small menu served with quality rather than a lot of menu items but less quality. It's a great spot for a decent skillet or French toast. read more

Saturday brunch time was a little on the busy side but they gave us an estimate of 15 minutes and stuck to it. Really friendly staff! Everyone that walked pass my granddaughter said hi to her. Nice clean and friendly restaurant in. A great neighborhood so much to do before and after. Ample parking but also there is a 4 hour free parking only 4 minute walk away. We did a classic and traditional breakfast. My eggs were cooked incorrectly but I didn't mind because time from order to ready was fast and that's always a plus with a toddler! I really like that they accept payment right at your table it was convenient and easy to tap and pay. read more

Had pick up to go. Unfortunately, the chorizo made the sandwich a little greasy which happens a lot with chorizo. The taste was great! Kids french toast sticks were a hit! Can't go wrong with the juice, especially as a mimosa! read more

Delicious!!!! I had a mini-skillet that's build your own. I had spinach, mushrooms, and red onions. It came with the most amazing piece of banana bread French toast. Dude had avocado toast. I tried that, too. Yummy yum yum!! We got there at 1:40, and they closed at 2. There was no rushing us. The server was really sweet! We're definitely going back! read more

I was looking for a place to stop for a late breakfast before a drs appointment on a weekday around 10:45am and stumbled in. Parking was kind of tight as it appears multiple establishments use the same parking lot. Parking was a 3 hour limit. I was seated promptly and a server took my drink order pretty quick. As a tea drinker I was QUITE impressed by the tea. They had a selection of teas on the menu...really shocking...and I settled on the English breakfast classic. It arrived hot in a mini tea cup with lemon and melted honey. It was great! For breakfast I ordered the burrito with potatoes and fruit. Also amazing. My server was sweet as could be and so polite. Overall great experience! read more

This is the first time I went to egg harbor and I didn't really care for it cause it's a chain but I couldn't of been any more wrong. Great service and great food! Can't beat it! Both servers attending us were so helpful with the menu, had patience and managed to serve multiple tables no problem. A simple smile goes a long way and they both had that going which we appreciate. read more

Finalllllly found a breakfast place in the greater Chicago area (aside from Buttermilk which is so far) that aimed to please! I ordered takeout via an app and my order was ready right on time - to the minute. The front host was very polite and prompt. I ate in my car and everything was packaged so well, separately and easy to access. I ordered the chicken egg white omelette sub red peppers for mushrooms and goat cheese for mozzarella. Ok I LOVED that on the app you could choose "swap with..." I've never seen that before and it was so easy to get exactly what I wanted with no up charge! The omelette was great! I scarfed it down. Came with fruit and a whole wheat English muffin, all standard. I wasn't super impressed with the jam but that's no big deal. I also ordered the lemon poppy seed pancake on the side, which was very reasonably priced. I loved that you could choose to add one, two, or a stack. Great great ordering options!! The pancake was delicious! Overall, super excited about Egg Harbor. It will definitely be a new staple for me. read more

My husband and I were in the area early in the morning and saw this place had great food. We were seated right away and got some coffee and ordered the roast beef skillet and the santorini scrambler along with classic French toast. Everything was good, the potatoes were a bit dry, but other than that I give this place 4/5 stars. Glad we came at 8am, as we were leaving, the place started to get real busy. Will definitely recommend Egg harbor cafe. read more

We went here after joining a July 4th - 5k Run. This is one of the best place to have morning breakfast in Elmhurst downtown. Service is awesome, waitstaff are very attentive. Ambiance is good too. Sometimes, parking finding a parking in this place is hard. But overall its a great place read more

Fabulous weight staff and the food was really terrific. I have gone several times when I travel in this area and enjoy it every time.

Super cute place, really good food. I came here with my cousin who highly recommended it. We both ordered the avocado toast with two eggs and were happily satisfied even though my eggs were a little overcooked. Service was great. Ambiance was great. Prices were incredibly fair. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in town. read more

This aesthetic of this place is homey. The food was good but there wasn't much variety for it being a breakfast place. The service is decent. The food took forever to come out and the waiter kept forgetting my strawberry orange juice. But maybe it was a busy day. I probably won't be coming back here only because of the lack of variety from the menu. However, it is a good place to check for the first time! read more

Egg Harbor recently received a facelift, and I was excited to check it out. I have been craving French toast for ages, so I figured it was time to satisfy the craving. The new decor is cute, very on trend with other breakfast restaurants in the area. The server was nice, although the service was slow (not terrible for a busy Saturday, I guess). I ordered the classic French toast, a side of bacon, and a double espresso. When the espresso came out, I laughed because it was 2 single shots of espresso in two separate cups. It tasted good, however, and it wasn't bitter at all. The French toast was terrible. The egg wasn't absorbed by the bread at all, so what I got was sweet scrambled egg on top of brioche bread. I couldn't even eat one slice without giving up. The bacon was standard bacon, albeit underdone for my taste. If you want crispy bacon, you'll need to ask for it. Overall, with so many other breakfast options in Elmhurst, I will pass on Egg Harbor next time. read more

Egg harbor all around is solidly consistent at all their Illinois locations (I am slightly disappointed in Georgia locations though) in terms of taste. This was no exception. Great food, great/fast service and a great experience! I always get the farmers benedict! read more

Atmosphere is family friendly and cute and the service was great! I got the eggs benedict but wouldn't recommend because it was cold and didn't feel fresh in anyway but the omelette was great! So I guess it depends a bit on what you order but overall a good experience. I would go back but I'd be more selective about what I order! read more

Today I and my wife had at Egg Harbor to celebrate to celebrate her work success. My wife had Avocado sandwich with tea, pancakes and she said it was very tasty! I got skillet with two additional ingredients, coffee, fruits and pancakes. All the flavors of the sausage, avocado, goat cheese, ham,m and warm chicken complemented each other nicely and was REALLY delicious!!! I'll definitely get that again! The service is great too! Egg Harbor is one of our favorite places to eat breakfast. I would recommend to tray this location. read more

THE EGGCEPTIONAL HARBOR MASTER This popular spot in downtown Elmhurst runs like a well-oiled breakfast machine. Good lord I haven't been to an Egg Harbor in forever. Maybe it's because I always thought of this down-to-earth restaurant as being more of a hangout for old ladies (i.e. my mom and my mom's mom), but EH wasn't on my radar for quite some time.....until my coworker had her baby shower here on 1/27/17. Seated at a twelve top, our server stayed on top of things the whole time but it never felt like she was buzzing in our ear. MAD PROPS to her for having a fantastic, upbeat attitude and being able to carry like 10 freaking plates at a time. Girl must lift or something. I was enamored with their winter mint mocha, essentially hot cocoa in a special Egg Harbor mug, which definitely makes the cold January days much more tolerable. Their selection of fresh squeezed juices and other seasonal drinks was impressive. The skillets came with ample amounts of morning potatoes and my choice of the 'San Antonio' included chorizo, pepper jack cheese, and onions ($11) with a perfectly buttered English muffin and homemade jam on the side. Everyone at our table loved what they ordered and the staff was able to accommodate our large party without issue. I couldn't help but notice that the servers here are finely tuned cogs in the brunch mechanism. Honestly every employee from the hostess to the kitchen was putting up their 'A-game' and it showed. Not that it factored into my rating (okay, maybe a little) but the polo shirt + khakis look is H-A-W-T.......not to mention quite flattering on those who do their squats at the gym ;) #datbootytho Bread = 5 Circuses = 5 It made me happy to see that their eggs came from free range hens since the thought of those awful, claustrophobic chicken farms bums me out :'( happy chickens, happy workers, happy patrons! You guys da real breakfast MVP's. Highly recommended. Keep up the outstanding work, you mothercluckers! read more

We finally ventured out once the 3rd wave settled down in late February 2021. Sunday brunch was pretty happening but the tables were socially distanced and I actually felt safe the whole time. The staff was great. The food was timely and so delicious. The menu was very diverse, as was the kids menu. There were a lot of non-pork options which was nice. I'm disappointed that the seasonal red velvet French toast, while delicious, I think was actually cake and not toast.. I got a skillet and my husband got the salmon Benedict. Kids got breakfast if champions which was huge and they shared (they're 2 and 5). All in all, great experience and love having a local go-to place. read more

The food was good. The male servers were very helpful. The service not so much. Our severe Rosie couldn't wait to get rid of us. She put our check on the table and never asked if we needed anything else. Most if not all restaurants require their employees to wear their hair up for health reasons. Rosie was wearing her long flowing black hair down. So glad the place offered the opportunity to pay from the table. Rosie never came back. The young lady at the checkout was friendly , polite and helpful read more

This place has been taken over by a penny pincher. Definitely not what it used to be. A simple bacon eggs potato and toast meal: eggs over cooked, potatoes were room temperature and I got crusts for toast. Not going back there, ever. read more

I've been there 3 times and each was disappointing. For the positives: staff was great. Service quick and ambiance was good. Open, airy. But I go for the food. Coffee comes in a small pot and tasted great and you don't have to wave down staff for a refill. Homemade (they say) jam was very good. The down sides: I got a chorizo omelet the prior time. The chorizo was burnt black and any flavor that might have been there was gone. Potatoes cold. This last time, I thought another try, I stayed away from the omelet and got bacon and eggs. They gave me an English muffin which was the kind you get really cheap at the supermarket. The potatoes were cold again. Have I learned my lesson? Yep. 3 and you're out read more

So this place just didn't reach my expectations. The locations all had great reviews, except for Oak Brook, so I had high expectations, but I was disappointed. The food was just missing that pizzazz that many of the brunch spots have. We thought the food looked sad. The server issue was real. Our server was replaced with Nicole. So things got lost a little and we had to ask for the same item a couple of times. The place is clean and everything, but they need to work on giving their food a little more spunk. I would recommend giving it a try yourself. read more

Best. Breakfast. Potatoes. I'm always comparing other restaurants to egg harbor. Great home style made meals and aura. They have healthy and indulgent options.

We had such a great experience at Egg Harbor the staff was very courteous from Hostesses to Server! Everyone was extremely safe with following Covid Protocols and even took our temps before allowing us in to be seated 6 feet away from the next party. Everything was divine! The flavors in each of our dishes was perfection. We will be back here soon! YUM ! read more

This is easily one of our favorite brunch spots in the burbs. The food is always good, always tastes fresh. Portion size is good. Several healthy choices are available but definitely go for the skillets or biscuits and gravy. Yum! From time to time, the service seems a bit inattentive recently but since we haven't experienced that in the past, I'm thinking it was just a fluke.
