On a trip up to Eureka, we stopped by Eggheads for a late breakfast. Called ahead on a Saturday for pickup and ordered (3) crab omelettes and their pumpkin French toast. Order was ready within 20-30 mins (they call to let you know it's done). Price was a little steep (with each omelette costing around $25) but the meal overall was great and extremely filling, but nothing terribly amazing. Comes with toast and jam. Side note: who would have known that buttered toast could taste THAT good? So much so that we tried to recreate it at our Airbnb and couldn't achieve the same result. Store is small upon entry and parking can be very tricky with street parking. Accept card. Friendly service! read more

Disappointed Always wanted to eat here. No inside dining Order by phone but difficult to to language Did not tell me my total 58 dollars for breakfast Asked for a pumpkin waffle Did not realize that it had a bunch of stuff on it Then try to tell them I could not eat all the sweets on it Would not take it off my order read more

The ambience was delightful, unless of course you hate the Wizard of Oz. But nobody hates the Wizard Oz! The food was delicious and abundant, even though it was on the pricey side, it was still a great place to eat - especially with kids. We've always loved Fort Bragg and have enjoyed our adventures there. Love the ocean and beaches too. read more

Hollandaise sauce tastes like white mustard sauce. overall bland Bene-Flo. Hollandaise was featured on all the specials as well, and another patron brought the to go breakfast back saying his wife thought it taste like sour cream. Paper plates for dishes! Underwhelming to say the least. This place was top notch a decade ago. Honestly I'd go to Starbucks and get a $5 breakfast sandwich and be way more satisfied for a fraction of the price. read more

Great food with amazing biscuits. Coffee is good and food comes out fast. Highly recommend. Ask to substitute a biscuit for the toast. They are sweet and moist. read more

Delicious! Hubby had cheesy eggs with potatoes, bacon and toast. I had the pumpkin cream waffle (OMG). Definitely the best breakfast in town. Service was top notch, too! read more

Always a go-to place for breakfast when visiting town. Seems like a trip to Fort Bragg won't be complete without Egghead's meal. Their cinnamon raisin bread is perfect. The dungeness crab omelette is sublime. read more

Good breakfast food and our service was excellent. We've been there a number of times over the years and it has been consistently a quality time there. read more

Meh. Too expensive. PAPER feaking plates! TINY! BOOTHS! BLAND food. Only cute because of the theme and even that was meh. The whole restaurant is basically a small hallway and the food is not good and too expensive. Waiter stares you downs as you eat terrible food.. and we got the wrong French toast. Save some money..and just watch The Wizard of Oz in Jammies at home and Doordash in some mcDonnalds pancakes. read more

Nice warm place, food. and tasty. Clean, nice service, good for families or if you traveling with friends. After the walk at the glass beach we stop here for breakfast. And I really recommended!! Try the breakfast burrito next time you came to this place and wants a delicious breakfast. read more

We had an incredible breakfast experience here as far as delicious food goes, but it's definitely not a good choice if you're in even a small hurry. We didn't have to be anywhere by any certain time, but didn't want to spend an hour indoors on such a beautiful weekend day. Seated fairly quickly and I ordered eggs Benedict with the most amazing champagne hollandaise sauce ever, and food came out semi quick to our table of 4, but once our dishes were licked clean and cleared from the table I had to ask for the check, taking my card with me for faster payment. After an unreasonable amount of time I went up and had to ask for my credit card back so I could sign and leave. Food was good and service was friendly, but very slow. ($74.39 before tip including a couple hot chocolates and fresh squeezed OJ. ) One free OJ with yelp check in. read more

Excellent and perfect breakfast this morning. We ordered 2 Lion Mighty one with bacon and one with sausage. Due to the SiP it was to go and took 35 mins. They had the timing down perfect, walked in 35 mins later it was just coming out of the kitchen. Took our breakfast back to our motel. Potatoes seasoned just right, salty and flavorful. Sausage and bacon equally great. Portions perfect, we were both full and satisfied. We hope to visit Fort Bragg again, and this will For sure be our breakfast stop. Try it, you won't be disappointed . read more

It was bit of a wait, but worth it! I had the eggs Benedict, which is the best I've had in a long time. The hollandaise sauce was creamy and not salty like some. The service was quick and extremely friendly. We also received a free fresh squeezed orange juice. My partner had oatmeal with fresh cut strawberries. They have compostable sugar cane plates to save on water and to be environmentally friendly. They serve breakfast and lunch. Weekends are very busy, so expect to wait 30 minutes to an hour, since it is a small place. We'll return! read more

Very quickly after my review was left, Becky contacted me apologizing for our negative experience and offered to provide a refund. She was quick in responding and also very helpful troubleshooting how to provide a refund since paying with a QR code made it a little difficult to find. I was expecting a refund for only the turkey sandwich I did not eat, but I was refunded for our whole meal! As I mentioned in my original review, the food was very good and it is incredible to know that this business reads customer feedback and is willing to work through issues along the way! Thank you again, Becky :) read more

Tasty breakfast, just not $41 tasty! I got the crab omelette #4. I took my food to go and it still held up well. It's a small place so take-out is probably the best way to go. Parking was easy and the employees nice. I went about an hour before closing on a Thursday and the wait time for my food was less the 20 min. read more

If you ignore the crab selections you have a decently priced greasy spoon breakfast spot. The crab dishes while tasty ...are overpriced. 19 dollar omelette... no thanks. Easily one of the best spots to grab breakfast in the F.B. Pro tip- order a side of the cin rasin toast...its prob the most amazing toast i have yet to have ever... -Edit shortly after writing this I received a nice email from the owner thanking me for the review-I have to say to all owners out there - three fast and speedy drink refill's with my order & great customer service (either pre or post meal) will always earn you another star in my book. read more

LOVE the cinnamon raisin bread. Comes with butter on top if you do not specify. Huge hunk of bread with lots of raisins and bold, sweet flavor. My husband got Eggs Benedict and was pleased with their "original" hollandaise sauce. It was very light in color, but he enjoys mayonnaise so... Very tiny restaurant, friendly staff and good food. I enjoyed my breakfast a lot! read more

Egghead's Restaurant - Large size order of cinnamon raisin bread. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Fort Bragg, California

Delicious brunch spot. Expensive, but worth the wait. The place is small and there is a bit of a wait, so be prepared. Luckily, there is a good coffee house across the street and the restaurant beepers are within range. We go to EHs for brunch and have had a great meal every time. I have ordered the Eggs Benedict with the tequila/lime/cilantro Hollandaise sauce. Delicious. I have also tried the omelette with crab and recommend it with tomato and cheese. Very tasty. On our last visit, we started with the thick-sliced raisin bread. Awesome. EHs has tons of Wizard of Oz decorations, and it is a bit interesting just looking around. We paid an average $20 per person for food, but EHs had very good food nonetheless. read more

Egghead's Restaurant - Eggs florentine - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Fort Bragg, California

Our family of four vacationed in Fort Bragg, and we ended up finding Egghead's on our first morning in town, and we ended up returning for breakfast every morning. Everything we tried was delicious, but the French toast was a highlight for me. I'm a big French toast fan, and Egghead's is my new standard to beat. The pumpkin waffle was also delicious. A big reason we kept returning day after day was their gluten free options. My sister has a wheat allergy, and our server assured us that they are incredibly proactive to avoid cross contamination (because their sister is celiac). My sister was able to eat eggs benny for the first time in years! The ambiance is cute; they cram a lot of personality into a small space. read more

Food was amazing. Homemade corn beef hash and yummy biscuits and gravy. Wizard of Oz theme adorable. Great service. Only downside is the long wait to get in because it's so popular. If you are not in a rush, I'd go. read more

As always, everything was great! Service was very good and the food was delicious! A little on the expensive side, but worth it!

The star is the Dungeness Crab Omelette (specifically, the #4, with bacon, avocado, and cheese...all the good stuff!) You can also get it as a crepe but I tried it as an omelette. The eggs are nice and fluffy, and all of the fillings are bountiful -- especially the crab! We opted for the potatoes for the side (rather than the salad) and it did not disappoint. Had we not tried the pumpkin waffle and garlic chicken burrito, it would still be five stars for the crab omelette alone. But it is an even stronger five stars with the other items, especially the pumpkin waffle with cream. It was the perfect consistency and it was clearly a pumpkin waffle, not a waffle with a hint of pumpkin. As of mid-June 2020 still only to go, but still excellent food and service. We called ahead of time to order and it was ready when they said it was! read more

Service was good, food was good but prices for what we ate were rather steep! My wife had traditional eggs Benedict and I had a variation that cost 5 bucks more. Our total bill for two came to a staggering 37 bucks. I tipped accordingly but felt cheated for what we ate. Oh well when in Rome! n read more

Tiny cafe, like really small, with really great food and service. Breakfast with crab meat was something I had never tried before, and it was delightful! read more

Pros: In my opinion, unarguably the best breakfast grub in town. I had the most "wicked eggs Benedict" ever with an absolutely heavenly tequila Hollandaise & cilantro, and a Dungeness Crab crepe which puts to shame all other crab crepes in town, especially those from Verona. We ate here many times over several years and their food is always consistently delicious. Eco-friendly, recyclable plates Good for children - the Wizard of Oz/witchcraft theme is consistent all throughout the restaurant, from the walls to the menu. Yelp check-in will get you a free OJ Servers are accommodating and friendly. Cons: It's a small locale and it's usually packed - waiting time from being seated to getting one's food, to payment Menu: https://www.fortbraggrestaurants.com/eggheads read more

The food here is amazing, everything is fresh and warm and didn't stay on our plates very long. The service here is also great. The staff here are very nice and very accommodating. They were very busy so there was a little bit of a wait time to be seated but no more then 15 minutes. They had taken our orders and got us our food in no time at all. They have a fun theme of The Wizard of OZ, they have posters that are signed by the actors and tons of memorabilia. They also sell sweaters and sweatshirts if that's something you like. All in all this was a great experience. read more

11/13/2020 - Takeout We ordered before we saw the daily specials - probably would have gotten one of those, as they were more interesting Eggs Benedict (4/5) - creamy sauce, eggs poached well, enjoyable #4 omelette - Dungeness crab, bacon, avocado, tomato, sour cream (3/5) - should have gotten one with cheese - this one didn't come together like an omelette. First time having crab in an omelette, was worth the try read more

Good food a little pricey, but the service and food were worth waiting for. Felt like I was eating at home.

Was recommended online and thought we would have a quick breakfast before heading out of town. The service was great and the food came out quickly. However, we do not recommend eating here before driving back to on the 20 or the 1. The meat and food was very greasy and both of us felt very unwell the rest of the day. We were also surprised by the price as well, I think we paid $5.99 for the smallest mug of hot chocolate. I think this would be a great place to share a breakfast. Not sure if the aftermath was worth the price. read more

Food is incredible. Biscuits and gravy. Sheesh. Awesome service. Lots of options on the menu.

Very good breakfast ! We've been here several times over the years! We always know it will be decent . The downside It's pretty pricey , and today it was just my wife and I there were only 4 other people in the restaurant and it took almost an hour to get our food! So plan on a long wait sometimes just to get in the door read more

I've been to Fort Bragg several times. I like staying there when I'm in Mendocino since it is a nice central location. And when I do stay in Fort Bragg I always have breakfast at Eggheads. And I always have the Eggs Benedict with crab. The restaurant itself is rather small and a little dark. The staff is always very friendly and you can tell that they work hard. read more

Good food. Resort pricing. Hole in the wall entrance. Harry Potter like access and seating. Outhouse like bathroom, including access and function. Wheelchair access... get out your wand Harry. One person isle from front to back of the whole place. Privately run most likely. Super friendly playful atmosphere and staff, not so helpful with breaking down the theme menu. After witch hunting through the menu I gave up and ordered the special. Served on paper plates. $21 for "Wicked Eggs Benedict" and tea. I can see doing something like this for my kids in a tree house, play money for the kids of course. Encourages me to cook more at home. I could do a lot with a $21 dollar budget. I would loose the fun atmosphere though. read more

Egghead's is a cute brunch spot that's wizard of oz themed. The breakfast fare is pretty standard brunch food with omelettes, benedicts, pancakes/waffles, etc. I wanted to try the pumpkin waffles, but apparently that day their waffle iron was out of order. Instead, they substituted with pumpkin pancakes, which were also pretty good. I think they were having a bit of an off day when we visited, because they made a few mistakes, like forgetting one of the orders we placed, and we needed to ask a few times for more water, or reminding them of certain drink orders that we placed but didn't come even after we got our food. The prices are pretty standard bay area pricing, so more on the pricey side. This establishment also uses biodegradable plates, so it doesn't have the fancy brunch feel, but more of a hole in the wall establishment. read more
