I think I say enough when I say that the experience to go to the literal BATHROOM is magical. The service here is great, and they are constantly checking up on you and making sure your food is good and everything like that. The food is amazing, although a little pricey. read more

I ordered some pancakes and it was as hard as cardboard. The maple syrup tasted like butter but the staff were nice. We waited almost a hour and there were several power outages that lasted almost two seconds. Over all it was not for me but my family loved it! The place is really cute though. read more

What a charming little hole-in-the-wall breakfast café! Highly recommend. It's right on Main Street and they have fair parking on the street and down the side streets. I think they may have parking behind the buildings but we didn't check because there was a spot right out front. Score! I had the Emerald City omelette. It was very good, fresh vegetables in the center and fresh herbs in the eggs. It comes with a side of red breakfast potatoes which were also very good. Our server was the only one working the tables but she was very fast, cheerful, and efficient. I will definitely come back here. read more

good meal as always, but the wait was ridiculous for the amount of people waiting. have been eating here for a decade or longer but could have been seated a lot sooner (think we were forgot about) waiter was excellent! read more

it's a small place. we waited 15 mins to be seated. It took 1/2 hr to get our food, which was a pretty basic order. I'm not sure why it took so long... maybe one cook. It's a cute little place with Wiz of Oz decor. Not sure how the name fits in. the food was a simple egg breakfast, nothing special. I think it was a pumpkin waffle, forgot the name, but that was delicious. I wouldn't say to go out of your way to come here, but if it's convenient, then go for it. It was my bday wkend, from L.A. and wanted a cafe style experience. Staff was friendly. I just felt that the wait for the food was abit too long for what the order was. read more

My family went here twice over the long holiday weekend and it was amazing! They had a healthy option for our toddler for breakfast which is always a plus. Between my husband and I we had crepe, burrito and benedict dishes. All so different and delicious! I highly recommend the Wicked hollandaise sauce. read more

Super cute little cafe in downtown of Fort Braggs. Me and my hubby came here for a little weekend getaway and were pleasantly surprised about this cafe! The theme of wizard of oz is super cute and I loved how they based their dishes around it. Love love love! Service: The staff is the friendliest and most professional staff I've seen in a long time. This place is small and expect an line/wait when you get here. But it's worth it! Food: There was so much great option that I wanted to try! I ended up having the biscuit and gravy and I loved it! The homemade biscuit was definitely the star of the dish. My hubby got their burger and I loved that as well. Honestly I don't think you can go wrong with whatever dish you pick. But I would suggest that you definitely try their homemade dishes. Overall: I would definitely recommend this place! read more

Potatoes were extremely salty. Scrambled eggs were just Right. Did Not care For the Biscuits But the Seeded toast was Very good. read more

February 27/2022: during Covid We arrived when they opened at 7 am because last time we drove by this place the restaurant was packed!! So when we arrived there were plenty of seats on a Sunday morning. I ordered the the "housemade , chunky, corn beef not-hash" , plate. The food was good if your an egg fan. As for the service, we ordered coffee and kept getting refills constantly which is good customer service. My plate: the potatoes were crisped too my liking. The beef was portioned rather well. I enjoyed the beefs textured but I'm not sure if I'd ordered it again because I'd want to try out the many other entrees they have. Overall I do like this place and I highly suggest coming early if you want to get seated right away. If you need to use the restroom you need to let the staff know and they'll Direct you on what to do. read more

What an adorable little place with the friendliest staff. You walk in and you are transported to the Land of Oz as there are Wizard of Oz references everywhere. Turns out the name Egghead has nothing to do with Oz. Lol it was just the name of the restaurant before the next owner bought it. There's your fun fact of the day. We lucked out and got seated pretty quick. It's a small place with tables on one side and booths on the other. Our drink orders were taken as soon as we sat and brought out soon after. They come by every few minutes with a lot of coffee and ask if you want a refill. Perfect for all the coffee lovers out there. I ordered the wizard Benedict with avocado and tomato and my husband ordered the omelette with mushrooms. Sorry, can't remember the name. Most of the menu items have cute names associated with the Wizard of Oz and they will give you a sample of the special hollandaise sauce which has tequila, lime, and cilantro. It was interesting. Not my favorite but they do have regular hollandaise sauce for those not as adventurous. Our meals came out loaded with food on fancy paper plates. One side was full of crispy flavorful potatoes and the side had my eggs Benedict. So yummy! My husband's plate was full of the same potatoes and a huge omelette. Both plates had a slice of pineapple in the corner. Everything was tasty. I highly recommend this little place. Come early but don't be surprised if you have to wait. A little side note: the people complaining about the prices of the crab have obviously never gone crabbing and know how much work is involved. read more

Don't be an egghead! We waited 30 min for a table and another 35 min for our food to be disappointed. The corn beef hash was so fatty and tough it was inedible and the biscuits were dry. The second star was because the server was nice. read more

Fantastic breakfast find in Ft. Bragg. Excellent service and one of the breakfasts I can remember! The Housemade, Chunky, Corned Beef Not-Hash was amazing and the French Toast with fruit and yogurt was perfectly prepared and served with bananas and thinly sliced apples. If you are looking for a great breakfast in Ft. Bragg, look no further! The bottomless coffee was also delicious, and impeccable service topped it off! read more

earned a star for: 1. creative dish names 2. fun decor going with wizard of oz theme 3. food was delicious 4. gave very accurate wait times lost star for: 1. portions and prices didn't match 2. only uses compostable plates - which is fine but there's something to say about $25 dish being served on a paper plate. 3. no changing table in bathroom 4. no booster seats, unsure if highchair was an option since it wasn't offered *sidenote: limited amounts of tables, not dog friendly, be ready for a 30-45 minute wait read more

My photos of the food didn't come out, so here are photos of the (adorable) bathroom. Everything is Wizard of Oz-themed, so if you have fans of the movie in your party, don't miss it. The food is really good, and the service is welcoming and prompt. Come at opening if you can. A popular lunch spot after riding The Skunk Train. Very small place and very crowded. I wouldn't want to try it in a wheelchair (I was on crutches), but worth a visit if you can. read more

Small family atmosphere. Very tight in space, place was packed but worth the wait to be seated. The employees were very friendly and hard working. I ordered the Deluxe French toast which was absolutely amazing. It came with fruit on top of the French toast with a side of yogurt. My husband ordered the breakfast burrito, he loved it.

Last meal of our Mendocino trip. It was super busy even on a Monday morning but the wait wasn't too bad. There was one guy who seemed to be doing everything front of house (acting as host to provide buzzers/seat people and be the waiter) and managed to juggle it all quite well. He was super friendly and nice. You can get a free small OJ with Yelp check-in, and it was so sweet and good with some pulp the way I like. Wished I had a bigger glass! The bf and I both got specials. I had the Glinda's crab and garlic omelette while the bf had Dorothy's Revenge which was a crab egg Benedict. There was a good amount of crab in both. I really loved the champagne hollandaise sauce both came with. Hollandaise can sometimes be too thick or rich for my taste and overwhelm the dish but this seemed nice and light, basically perfect! I could happily have had even more haha. The food did take a while to come out which wasn't surprising since it was so busy and it seemed like there wasn't that much staff but it was worth the wait. Oh, and if you couldn't tell from the names of our dishes, they're very into the Wizard of Oz so there's Oz paraphernalia throughout the restaurant. read more

Not a bad breakfast but the eggs and bacon with toast was very expensive and the wait was pretty long. We've been here before a few times over the years and loved the place. But this time the food was okayish. $10 orange juice and paper plates for an over $50.00 meal for two was a bit much for us. read more

Cute small breakfast/brunch restaurant with wizard of oz theme. The food is similar to a diner. Eggs any style, omelettes, french toast, salads, burgers, steak and eggs. Good service. Expect to wait during the weekend. I wouldn't come hungry. There is one single bathroom outside of the restaurant. I was told to follow the yellow brick road...lol read more

Just wanted to leave an update to this review: shortly after posting this, the owner messaged me on Yelp, very apologetically, and also refunded our payment. Because of the owner, this is a business I would rock with and am willing to give another try. Thank you, Becky, for being sympathetic and going the extra mile to rectify the situation. May all business owners be like you! read more

This place is busy and it's very small so order your food to go but ask for salt and pepper. I went there twice. Once for breakfast and then lunch the next day. I got the Uncle Henry's farmers breakfast. No flavor in the biscuits and gravy. Very little sausage. I was really looking forward to that as the reviews were good for that . The waitress suggested that the Crabbywitch ( melted crab sandwich) was really good so I went back for that. The sandwich was amazing. Lots of sweet crab. The only downside is they don't have French fries. It took over an hour for my to go order. They told me 45 minutes. But the sandwich was worth the wait. I did ask for salt and pepper. read more

Wow. That food was phenomenal. I'm having dreams of that pumpkin waffle. There's no place like Egghead's

The service was fantastic. They even sang happy birthday to my boyfriend and gave him a piece of cinnamon toast, it was so sweet! The breakfast was delicious, we ate all of it. The hollandaise sauce was perfect, and the French toast was as fluffy as a marshmallow. Overall it's a very cute restaurant with very kind servers.

The ambiance is fun, and the staff was nice, but in good conscience I can only leave a two star review. We each ordered a crab omelette, so breakfast was over $50.00 for two. Reasonable-ish, I suppose. We ate ours to go as that's all they are currently offering, but we ate immediately in my car. The good: full of crab meat, and good quality/great tasting crab meat. The bad: the omelette itself was overly dry and rubbery, and the potatoes were undercooked. For a $50+ breakfast for two, I expect the other components of the breakfast to also be cooked well. Most likely would not recommend read more

Truly incredible tiny spot in Ft. Bragg. My husband's favorite. The service, food cozy ambiance is FANTASTIC! The crab omelettes and sauces are really scrumptious. The pancakes and the potatoes really nice too. If you go early there is relatively no wait however even if you wait 1 hour for it. . .it is worth it. You will not need to have lunch for that day-portions are generous. Thank you Egghead's. . . we will see you again and again and again when in Ft. Bragg (or 50 miles away). . . read more

I want to start by saying the food here was well prepared and tasty and the service was certainly adequate. I was a little tempted to give this place a lower rating as I really would expect nicer facilities from a place where four egg and potatoes laden breakfasts with coffee run up a bill over $100. Good food no doubt, but there are competitors within the same block that have similar quality food and equal or better service for about 25% less. read more

I would definitely come back. read more

My fiancé and I are making this a new must go whenever we visit the Mendocino/Ft Bragg area. We went here twice out of the 4 day trip here and couldn't tell you how good everything was. I got the Benedict with crab on it but added a little pepper jack, it was heavenly! My fiancé got a wicked Benedict but subbed out a few things to make it vegetarian she couldn't stop talking about the hollandaise with cilantro for at least a week and I'm not exaggerating. Our server was wonderful and she congratulated us on our engagement the second time we came in because she remembered us from the day before. If your ever in the area make sure to give this busy little diner a visit! read more
