If you like Moms and Pops restaurant this is a place to go love the theme which is Wizard of Oz and great service and delicious food I had the eggs benedict! read more

Staff was nice however we got in around 10am, by that time they were out of clam chowder. Total came out to 43$ for an order of waffles, a regular size of orange juice, small orange juice and a coffee. Definitely pricey. I would only recommend the waffles, they were fluffy and sweet. read more

Staff was polite but food lacked any kind of flavor and took nearly 45 minutes to come out. Just wish there was some kind of heads up about time frames which every other table got outside of us. read more

Came here for Mother's Day breakfast. Street parking only. We arrived at 8 AM and had to wait about 10 minutes or so. Amazing service!! They are really moving efficiently in there and focused on providing friendly service at the same time. They were even giving out roses to the moms. I got the Cowardly Lion and a pot of hot green tea. The drinks and food came out quickly and piping hot! Portion sizes were just right. Not small but not too much. I will be back next time I'm in Mendocino and I would recommend this place to friends and family looking for good breakfast with quick and friendly service! read more

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

Dude, service doesn't get any better than the extremely kind and fast service at this place. Top notch service, so friendly and attentive. Would be back just for the kindness of those that waited on us (a lovely what seemed to be a father son duo perhaps?). Also, while I more tagged along because my friend likes breakfast foods, I really enjoyed my meal. I ordered the Uncle Henry's Farmhand Favorite, which has scratch-made biscuits, homemade sausage gravy, two eggs (I got over-easy), home-fried red potatoes, and added bacon. I'm from the south originally so I absolutely love biscuits and gravy. I ate all of my biscuits and gravy with enthusiasm. I dipped my home-fried potatoes in egg yolk and ate almost all of both my eggs and potatoes. Was too full to finish all the potatoes though. Also ate both slices of bacon which were cooked perfectly, crisp in all the right places. This place also had a nice variety of coffees available, and I was able to get an absolutely delicious cappuccino with my meal. While it was nothing but lovely, I'd def recommend sitting closer inside towards the kitchen as we sat close to the door and every time someone opened the door we were blasted with the cold weather outside. Not a big deal though and I had my jacket with me. The decor is cute with lots of various pics and quotes from The Wizard of Oz scattered around. Overall, yummy food and EXCELLENT service. If I'm in Fort Bragg again, I'm def stopping here! read more

This fun restaurant made our stop in this cute town fun. The restaurant is small and we did get probably the worst seat in this busy restaurant. A two seater hidden in a corner that makes a normal woman hold her breath sliding in. The service by a young man I wish I got his name fantastic. The food was great and I didn't order anything out of the ordinary (two eggs over easy breakfast potatoes and whole wheat toast.) My husband order country eggs Benedict and I am still hearing how great it was he loved it. I actually bought a sweatshirt in the bright purple in the Wizard of Oz theme of the restaurant. This will be a great memory for us. read more

Delicious, big and clever menu, but small and busy, great wait staff. Wizard of Oz theme.

This is a cute place on Main Street in Fort Bragg. Evidenced by the reviews it is quite popular. My husband and I arrived here at 9:30 on a Monday and were lucky to grab a table right away. The inside is quite small and has a local diner feel. There a few booths and a few tables. We found service to be very friendly but a little slow and scattered, with multiple waiters sharing tables. I ordered the Cowardly Lion and my husband had Uncle Henry's Farmhand Favorite with sausage. We had absolutely no complaints about the food, it was stellar and very filling. I ordered coffee and asked if they had almond milk, and they said they did. The first cup of creamer they brought out was regular milk. I had to flag down our waitress and she then brought me some almond milk. She was apologetic. Overall, I definitely recommend Eggheads. Good food for a good price served by friendly folks. read more

Wonderful breakfast stop if you are in the area and visiting Mendocino. Food is tasty and the menu extensive. Love the wizard of Oz theme! Go with the specials if you are adventurous. Both the omelettes and anything with the biscuits is a must. Seriously! Service is friendly and staff are welcoming but be prepared to wait. Enjoy!! read more

Egghead's Restaurant - Veggie omelette- yummy!! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Fort Bragg, California

Came here Sunday of Memorial Day Weekend - arrived around noon & waited about 45 minutes. Small, tight space yet it felt warm & cozy. Ordered freshly squeezed orange juice and a cappuccino, would recommend both. To eat, we ordered the Veggie Garlic Lover omelet wrap & it was probably one of the better egg dishes I've eaten in a while. Also ordered The Goodwitch, a veggie sandwich. It was good but if you're looking to eat something different, then order something else. For dessert we got 1/4 Pumpkin Waffle, perfect size to satisfy our sweet tooth. Overall, we really enjoyed our meal and lots of cute little shops to check out while waiting for your table. read more

Was way too long of a wait for what you get. Checked in and they told us it would be an hour wait but we really wanted to try crab being in this coastal area. Once seated, we ordered coffee which came in a relatively timely fashion and Eggs Benedict along with one of the crab omelets. Anything with crab was about $11 to $13 more than the same meal without. Took almost another hour just to get food. Honestly I would skip this one and head to Noyos Fish grill or another spot for seafood. read more

The food is delicious. The bacon is from Roundman's Smoke House down the street. The service is friendly and helpfully attentive. The homestyle potatoes are very flavorful in a good way, so didn't skimp by skipping them. And they are generous with the cheeses and avocado in the omelette. read more

Our breakfast experience recently was fabulous. The service was exemplary. The hand prepared fresh food was tasty, nicely presented & hearty. Our server, Dani, was attentive, skilled and personable.

I'm loathe to be critical of a beloved local restaurant, especially at a time when restaurants are struggling, but in the spirit of constructive feedback and giving other diners a heads up: the service here needs a lot of work. We were seated at 7:15am when the restaurant was about half empty. The server didn't return to so much as bring us water until 7:40. We sat there for a full 25 minutes before we even ordered. The server walked past us probably 10 times without acknowledging us or the long wait. She seemed to be actively avoiding looking at us as we were trying to make eye contact to get her attention. It was frustrating and bizarre. Food finally arrived at 8:10 -- nearly an entire hour after we sat down. And here was a first: it was served on paper plates. This is a restaurant that charges $30-plus for a breakfast entree and it comes on paper, like at a picnic. I understand a busy restaurant with a single server, but a) it wasn't particularly busy and b) a gracious "I'll be right with you" or "Sorry for the delay" goes a long way. So does a real plate. I have loved this restaurant since I was a kid, but I don't think I'll be back. read more

Service was ok if slow, 25 min wait was ok then it turned into a 45min wait, waited another 20-30min after ordering for the food which was absolutely terrible. Meals are apparently served on paper plates. Hollandaise sauce was straight up hot mayonnaise with a splash of lemon juice mixed in. Idk how you can screw up home-fried potatoes but those were not good either. Toast was the best thing on the plate. We spent $45 for breakfast which we each took a couple bites then decided to just be done and have it thrown in the trash where it belongs. We should have stayed in Mendocino for breakfast rather than trying somewhere different in Ft Bragg. read more

Food and service were excellent! Great flavors and generous portions! Had a delicious omelette and pumpkin waffle was an extra yummy treat! read more

On a recent trip tp Fort Bragg, this place caught our eye as a place we wanted to check out for breakfast because of the large number of items available on their menu and their quirky Wizard of Oz theme. We were a little disappointed that there was no inside service because we really wanted to check out the decor but understand that precautions have been taken due to Covid. Instead, we ordered the Grilled Veggies and Mushrooms, Avocado, Tomatoes, Jack & Cheddar Omelette and decided to take our meal to enjoy at nearby Glass Beach. The person that took our order was very friendly and accommodating. Knowing that my husband and I were going to share our meal, he said it was a good idea because the portion is large and he offered to split our order into two containers. When we arrived at the beach and opened our containers, we were surprised at how much food there was! With potatoes, toast and jam to go with the omelette, there was plenty for each of us. And everything was hot and delicious! If we are ever back in town again, we will definitely go back! read more

Passing through Fort Bragg- This crab omelette was very tasty. It's large so we split it and supplemented with some fresh fruit and yogurt we had in our RV. The coffee was surprisingly good. They were still take out only mode. I'd def come through again and eat in. It's small , old school funky kinda vibe. They also have a few interesting neighbors if you're up for shops of second hand items, art and cannabis. read more

Egghead's Restaurant - Eggs Benedict & Wet Burrito with homemade salsa - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Fort Bragg, California

You will wait, but it's ok the surrounding of the restaurant is cute and tons of small boutique. Let's start by the burrito.... Amazing! I'm not a fan of burritos and I ended up eating .... Stealing half from My fiancée... sorry... it was too good! The French toast were great as well, as a French National I don't understand why American use challah bread for it ... and apparently Egghead agreed with that! French toast (Pain Perdu in French means lost bread because you used day old bread to make them) are way better with regular bread than Challah bread! The Benedict's were pretty good with a strong taste of crème fraîche, that's up to you if you like that or no! Overall a very cute place and definitely worth the wait, great service as well! read more

My husband and I went to Egghead's restaurant in Fort Bragg. We were traveling from San Francisco. There was a Wizard of Oz theme throughout the restaurant that was charming. Danny, our waitress was friendly and welcoming. We felt at home. I had the Eggs Benedict with Canadian Bacon and the English Muffin was toasted perfectly and the poached eggs were medium as I requested. The Hollandaise sauce was lemony and flavorful. The spinach, mushroom and cheeses omelette my husband ordered was very cheesy and tasty. The red potatoes we received were garlicky and flavorful and cooked perfectly. We loved the coffee and tea. We will be back! Don't hesitate in going!! 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

Egghead's Restaurant is always a must do in Ft Bragg. The food is exceptional, the service is top notch and friendly and the Wizard of Oz ambience is cute down to the yellow brick road to the bathroom. The crab omelette with garlic is a feast with plenty of crab. This comes with a Champagne Hollandaise sauce that is to die for. The price for this crab omelette should not be a surprised and is worth every bite. Coffee refills keep coming. Place to go to find your guilt pleasure breakfast. read more

Food was phenomenal. My husband had the garlic crab omelette, while I had one of the other crab omelette options. The crab was fresh, the bakery bread was amazing. Potatoes were yummilicious. It doesn't look like a spot where the food will hit. It's definitely not a place for large groups - my group of 4 and a toddler felt overwhelming. The only piece that made our group uncomfortable was being stared at by some of the other customers. We got the distinct impression that some dinners were put off Black people in "their" environment. That said, not one of the staff members treated us with anything but kindness and respect. They also can't control who's in the establishment - us nor them. I'd go back for the food, but I'd be very wary of the atmosphere. 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

Great place for breakfast or brunch, great portions sizes. Crab omelet and eggs Benedict tasted great. Nice service and cozy place. Orange juice and coffee were very good. They use local ingredients where possible, read: local cheese, eggs and diary. Cons: the plates are disposable, following a sustainability initiative, but it makes the meal experience feel a bit like take out. read more

Service was great. Ambiance was kind of condensed. Lots of tables in a very small space. The breakfast we had was disappointing. Eggs Benedict was over cooked. Waffles were also a bit burnt. read more

It sucks that I couldn't dine in, the restaurant was in covered in so much Oz related stuff, I would imagine how fun environment would be for a theater nerd like me. I called in for my breakfast order, was hoping to eat in my room with the beach views and such. They have a bunch of standard breakfast/brunch items, a dungeness crab menu for either omelettes or crepes, got some daily specials too. Be sure to ask for those, I didn't see them until after I had ordered. Anyway, I ordered their dungeness crab, tomato, jack and cheddar omelette. I finished the whole thing with lots of "mmmmmmmm" and "oooh" and more "mmmmmm so good." That's what happens when you get huge chunks of fresh crab in your super soft and perfect looking omelette. The whole plate was very filling, I thought I wouldn't be able to finish. I was planning to go hiking afterwards, so this was great fuel choice. The egg was so fluffy, you can taste that fresh seafood taste from it. It sucks how far I would need to drive to have that omelette again. Splurge and spoil yourself, treat yourself to those crab meat! The wait wasn't so bad, I called in, prep time was 20 minutes. The insides of the store is quite small, if you time it right, you won't need to be inside for too long. I did see a sign that they offer curbside delivery. Lots of street parking in the area, especially right outside of the restaurant. Maybe someday, one day, I'll return and try the one with avocado. 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

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

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
