My sweet Mother In Law brought me to her favorite spot! We had yummy pork chops! They were so good! We started out with soup which was homemade and delicious! My MIL always gets the pork chops so I did as well and they were DELICIOUS! Nice, juicy and fried to perfection! Our server was amazing, she treated us like Queens! We felt right at home! Our busboy was sweet as pie too! Good young man! It's an old school spot, with great old school vibes and you gotta love some home cooked food! Looking forward to the next time! read more

came in cold and hungry and could only afford a hot cocoa. but the waitress was kind enough and brought me a soup on the house. I honestly adore this place and cannot recommend this little diner with a ambience of family and small town kindness enough. read more

This is one of my favorite places especially for breakfast!, the staff/workers and the service are kind, they're really nice and would take orders, the wait for the food is a little long but other than that is great, they are just overall nice, the Ambiance is great! I like how like vibrant and bright it is, the dark kind of creeps me out but it isn't dark so I'm glad they did a bright ambiance! 5 stars to the max! read more

Went twice already. Walked in and got seated fast even though it looked busy which was nice! Server was attentive and got our drinks and order in fast. Big fans of the cinnamon French toast. The Florentine Benedict was tasty too. I got 3 eggs and that was nice because I thought it would be one egg per English muffins. Only downside is that I wish I got some more food to for sure be full but it's pretty dependable for a quick bite. I'm a fan of little diners so I'll be coming back to try other items because they had lunch options as well as tons of other breakfast options. read more

The place was nice and the service was good. The owner made you feel welcome, the food however was alittle less than good. It was edible but bland. Overall the place is a decent dinner but I probably won't go back. read more

The food had hair in it and they only wanted to give 10% discount for there terrible service. I will never return to this establishment.

11 years ago, my brand new wife and I stopped in here for breakfast the morning after we got married and it was very good. We've stopped in a couple times since then, but it had been awhile since doing so. We stopped in this morning for breakfast and we were surprised! Not sure when they painted the inside and got new tables/chairs but it's so bright and new. Beautiful! The food was good, just like I would expect from a place like this. Side of toast, pancakes, or French toast? Who has a side of French toast? Plus, she offered us free soup to go. The biggest shock was the bill, $48. Similar breakfasts for a family of three with one 6-yr-old are over $70, which is why we've curtailed going out for breakfast. We'll be back soon! read more

Debbie diner! That's her name! She was beyond amazing. She's the one with the platinum white hair with a Bob and twirled to the side. What a true old school waitress. Ladies, take a lesson from her. She reminded me of the old school diner ladies who took her job to the top by being kind and just hard working. When she was on a little break from customers, I observed her cleaning off syrup bottles and disinfecting things around. WOW! In this time that we ate in. This is such a plus to see! The service was perfect, the food was amazing as always and the service, did I say the service? Debbie diner just added a good element to the experience and I so appreciate when one can appreciate their work and craft! All the workers here are hard working of course, but I was fortunate to get her! To the owners, this is exemplary service! read more

Attentive Fast and Friendly This is just a nice family slash community restaurant. The staff were all friendly and greeted many of the diners by their first names when they were seated. It's true when people say "Eat where the locals eat". It's a diner style cafe complete with a "bar" front for singles. Everything is clean and orderly. The decor is kitschy but in neither a good or bad way. The bathroom is tiny but clean as well. The service was amazing. My waitress was more attentive than I've seen in a long time. And she did it without hovering. She was always moving. I ordered my food and before I could finish my coffee she was bringing it to me. The food itself was enjoyable. Typical family restaurant fare. The portions were a good size and it was cooked well. I can definitely recommend this restaurant for a great overall experience. It's Nothing fancy, just done well. I would and probably will return myself. read more

The restaurant here is very racist. I had a waitress with a fake but sexualizing herself I front of my family and making racist comments. The food is not good and over priced. She did not attend us or check in on our table. read more

Food, Service is Excellent ! I truly love the fact that they give you soup . I always opt to take my soup home for later. My favorite is chicken with rice although I'm sure they all ate . O have been more times than I can count but everyone is so nice .. from the moment when you enter until you leave . See you soon EGGMAN. read more

Been going here since a kid and it is my all time favorite breakfast place! All the workers are very kind and the service is quick. The chocolate chip pancakes are my go-to! The place has never changed and that's good, it's always been and always will be the best! read more

Best American Cheese omelet I've ever had - fluffy to perfection !!! Hash browns were crisp and browned almost like the pictures. Going back for the skillet with mom. read more

Nice little quick , simple American spot in Alsip for breakfast or lunch. A hearty bowl of soup accompanies most meals, which is a plus. Prices are reasonable and the service is friendly. read more

This is a very nice place for breakfast. I tried there burger it wasn't anything special. The interior is nice, has quite bit of seating. The service is excellent. Will definitely come back again for breakfast. read more

I hate to do this because I am not one to bash businesses because I do understand it really affects them financially. Today I ordered an American cheese omelette with well done hash browns. It was the worst omelette I've ever had in my life. The eggs were burnt and flat as can be. Not like a normal fluffy omelette. The cheese was a slice of American cheese that wasn't even melted. You can still see the square cheese shape. The hash browns were very oily. This is the first time in my 34 years of life that I only had a few bites of my breakfast and threw the rest away. Typically I just deal with it and eat it because I'm not a complainer. This was BAD! read more

Friendly service and solid food. Always a great place for breakfast!! Great homemade soups read more

For those of you who do not know it, you are not getting an extra egg or 3 smaller eggs. They use double yolk eggs. Yes, there is such a thing. The next time you are on your toy, sorry I meant phone look it up instead of watching some young girl shaking her butt on tik tok. This is why they call it Egg Man. The gentleman that owns this establishment is a true American success story and has given back to the community on numerous occasions. He is a wonderful man. Support him and you support your community! read more

I remember when this was a Chicken Unlimited over 40 years ago and then turned into Okey-Dokey until 1990 when Eggman's opened per the owner who couldn't have been nicer and greets all the patrons. The waitress Debbie Diner is very nice too and gives good service. The menu is varied and what I ordered was a Denver Omelette that was very good. They are open until 3pm though and not 4 per online info. Parking is easily available too. read more

Neat little place for breakfast...right on the corner of 127th and Pulaski Road. This is one of those Greek kind of places that offers 3,000 things on their menu...all made from the same two dozen food items. But for breakfast this is a treat. You can get your eggs all the usual ways, with all the usual meats and sides. Breakfast is good. The wait staff was spot on...friendly and perky and talkative. The place is always packed...the prices are always reasonable...everyone must know something. Give this place a try. read more

Family friendly atmosphere, great service, good food! I have the skirt steak and it was great!

I come here once a year. (I check my rental homes) i make time to eat here once! Its always a packed and a great atmosphere. I may be a California native. But enjoy food from all over. See ya'll next year! I recommend the shakes! read more

Eggman's Restaurant - 3 meat omelette - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Alsip, Illinois

Delicious reasonably priced meals and comfortable eating for seniors especially. Many thanks. Excellent service and always cheerfully greeted. Atmosphere is so close to mama's kitchen. read more

This place was AMAZING! The food, the service was fantastic! I had the steak omelet. My husband had a regular breakfast with eggs, toast, and grits! Award winning service, food and cleanliness. We have a new favorite. read more

Eggman's Restaurant is my go-to for breakfast. The coffee is fresh and always delicious. Before your meal, you receive a complimentary soup with bread and crackers. My personal favorite breakfast food from eggmans is the Texas Skillet. You can add some grilled jalapeños to it for some extra flavor. This place is fair on price and doesn't break the bank. read more

You can't get this down in Atlanta, great service, they don't skimp on the portions sizes, and the man in charge has one heck of a 'stache.

My omelette was delicious (I ordered the Acapulco omelette) and my fiance ordered the American Skillet. The food was fresh and delicious and exactly as we ordered. I ordered for carryout and the food was ready when I arrived and the staff was extremely friendly! read more

This is not a community restaurant, despite how the community came together to support this business during the height of the pandemic by eating outside and following all of the US government protocols, when it was time for Mr. Egg man to return the favor to the community he unapologetically installed inflationary prices. When I complained to Mr. egg man as I was paying my bill his attitude was capricious and cavalier. He indicated that I should read the menu or go elsewhere. I do not mind spending $11 for two eggs in Las Vegas but not in my working class community of Alsip, Illinois. When I think of all the times I was greeted with a smile at the doorway by this man. However, the first complaint about his prices ended his smile. I was summarily dismissed. When a family sits down to eat they will order less. I am sorry that the community allowed him to save his business. The Eggman's prices stink. How many cartons of eggs can you buy for $11? My waitress agreed with me. It is time to buy less read more

Great place, service was excellent. Great coffee as the soup was delicious. Skillet I had was very very good.

This place is ROACH INFESTED!!!! The booth next to mine had to walk his cup of soup over to the waitress because it had a huge roach on it. All she did was take it from him and walk away like it was no big deal. Overhearing this, I felt itchy and asked for my check so I could pay and get out of there and while waiting for her to bring it, ANOTHER ROACH was crawling on MY BOOTH!!!! I will never go back there again. You've been warned!!!! Once those things come home with you ( in your purse or on your clothes) they multiply. Two words, ****HEALTH DEPARTMENT**** read more

Cheap, hearty breakfasts at ridiculously reasonable prices. This place is four stars all the way around except for its bathrooms' wheelchair inaccessibility--and the fact that there's racist graffiti in the men's-room stall. I understand that businesses aren't responsible for how people deface their property, but there are some messages that should be blotted out at all costs. If you have to sand down the partition, so be it. Better yet, why not just paint over it and put some kind of tape over that? The servers are very friendly, as is George, the owner. He's got an out-of-control Stalin mustache going on, but it's really cool. I've got a decent amount of facial hair, and I could never grow that mustache. Maximum respect. You can get free soup as well. read more

A previous Yelper mentioned George with the ginormous mustache, yes quite real. I am still trying to find other options in this neck of the woods and this place while by all means will suffice for a quick breakfast or even a slow one catching up with a friend. It falls short of the great breakfast food I crave. Service was excellent, coffee came while I sat, and refilled at timely intervals, these are very important things to me at breakfast. The 2 egg breakfast comes with three smaller eggs, the Greeks love these little tricks to get people all a buzz. My father was convinced for over ten years that a certain South Side establishment only served double yolk eggs. I would argue over breakfast at the unlikely ability of a food purveyor isolating all the multi embreyoed eggs. We never settled this point of contention. I digress, the eggs seemed fresh, but the hash browns were sparse and suspicious looking, too uniform, not browned enough, and not seasoned. The sausage tasted fine, but had a strange coloring. Not rotten, just had a yellowish hue. The toast was a tad over buttered, and the coffee although always hot and full was weak. Like I eluded to earlier, I don't know yet if there is any where else to eat around here for breakfast, if there is I will find it. read more

Steer clear! Chef Ramsey where are you when we need you!?! All tastes prepackaged, precooked, frozen. Had pancakes, eggs, bacon, hash. All less than mediocre at best. Weak coffee. Bright spots were service. Toni was really attentive and sweet. Pancakes were decent. Potato pancakes though probably bought frozen were decent. Heard loud banging behind wall of our booth. Decor is memorial to vets who died in service which I love but felt like I was at a funeral service. read more

I am a big fan of breakfast diners since I love breakfast foods in general. I live close to eggman's but today was my first time here. It's a monday morning and I met a friend who works a weird shift and just got off work. It was 10am and we were seated right away, given coffee right away, and the waitress was super friendly and fast. Overall my food was a look like most diner meals. The menu is pretty extensive and I may have to come back for lunch sometime. Overall, I like this place. Our total was $21 for two coffees and two breakfast meals. Portion seemed about right and the service was good. read more

Yeah...drive by this place all the time and it's always packed. Lots of trailer trucks in the parking lot--that kind of thing so I figured it was a good greasy spoon. It was 11AM-ish on a Saturday so it was a tight squeeze, which is fine. Ordered the bacon/sausage/ham skillet and wife ordered an omelet. Food took a while and arrived less than piping hot. Still it was pretty good and was about 1/2way through when a COCKROACH appeared from behind the napkin dispenser and strolled across the table towards the jelly bowl. That was it. Napkinned the roach, took it to the cash register and showed the manager why we wouldn't be paying, and walked out--never to be heard from again. read more

There really isn't much to say about this place. Its an over all mediocre place. They give away free soup, even if you just get coffee. I usually get an omelette of some sort. They really do get points for being a speedy breakfast joint. I have never had a problem with service here, I've been going here for about a year now. My girlfriend and I enjoy going out for breakfast on Sundays, and its right down the street. But honestly, if it wasn't so close, I probably wouldn't ever go. If you're looking for a place that is fast, decent, and cheap. You found your placed. read more

I recently was in there with my children for breakfast , we hadn't been in a while caused we moved out of area ,very excited to return.
