So very excited that Eggs, Inc has opened a location next door to my apartment! Whenever I need a quick and tasty breakfast or lunch, it will be all too easy to just hop in the elevator, stroll out my building, and head next door to Eggs, Inc! I LOVE the menu here. Its like a mixture of Denny's and Steak & Shake! Tasty, comfort food at affordable pricing in the Streeterville neighborhood! The red velvet french toast is DELICIOUS! Very rich however so I just went light on the syrup. The next time I visit I will be sure to try an omelette. read more

Sooooo, I'm very happy to say that Eggs Inc Cafe in the heart of Streeterville, located at 680 N. Lakeshore Drive. My excitement has been building for months as I live across the street & been anticipating their grand opening! Today I ordered 2 breakfast sandwiches, with Bacon & scrambled eggs on sour-dough bread....and OMG they were crazy delicious! Most definitely the best breakfast sammich I've had in years, even better than my homemade versions! :) Their delicious breakfast sandwiches came with an option for hashbrowns or a fruit cup. I elected to choose the fruit cup & that, too, was tasty & perfect! Overall, I am eager to highly recommend Eggs Inc Cafe here in Streeterville as the breakfast destination in Streeterville as no other place is as clean, delicious, with attentive staff, well-designed, & hospitable as Eggs Inc Cafe, (& this is including all other breakfast/brunch spots in Streeterville & surrounding area!!!) I'll be returning quite often!!! :) read more

Casual, quick, something for everyone breakfast. We came in around 11 on a weekday and there were diners looking for both breakfast and lunch. Appears to be a good place for all ages as there were quite a few kids there, along with all the adults. We were seated right away and started to look at the expansive menu. It may take you a while to figure out what you want, and the servings should satisfy almost every appetite. My wife got the asparagus and Swiss omelet with fruit. The asparagus was fresh and flavorful and the fruit was good - especially for December in the Midwest. I got the Under the Tuscan sun frittata. It's a skillet of hash browns topped with eggs, chicken, sun-dried tomatoes, basil, pepper jack cheese, and deliciousness. It was wonderful, and far more than I could eat in one sitting. I took the rest home and was barely able to eat that half in one sitting. It was very fresh, hot, and delicious. The food came out very quickly and the waitress was attentive and pleasant. The location isn't hard to find on foot, but might be tougher driving, as the entrance is not on Lake Shore, but on Erie. read more

Fabulous new Chicago breakfast n lunch option!! Good food and good service at the price that matches your expectations, is my essential requirement for a 4-5 star review. I'm sure that we have all experienced a restaurant that was rated five star because it was fancy and expensive but my reviews are not about that. I give five star based on different requirements. This new delightful and refreshing and spacious restaurant surpassed my expectation. Whether you are working at Northwestern Hospital, live here in the Streetville area, or selecting a location for coffee meetup for business or pleasure..this is IT! You will not be disappointed. The fabulous, wonderful environment, great food, good n quick service, comfortable seating, friendly and competent staff, even have good music (which is so rare for breakfast n lunch) Eggs Cafe, Inc leaves you with a good feeling as you embark upon the rest of your day. I even loved the view from the windows that are large and the interior designer, whoever that was, did a fantastic job. Food? Love the garden fresh vegetable skillet, feta scrambled eggs, lemon n blueberry pancakes, fresh OJ, and Coffee! Got to have good coffee! Only tiny thing that is important to me as a business person is to have internet availability which they stated they are working on. "It is all in the details" besides all the great food, they have successfully figured out how to bus tables at breakfast time without being so clankingly loud n annoying as most places are, that shows me that they have spent a lot of time to detail. It is a cheerful way to start your day at Eggs Inc Cafe! They also have great lunch items if you work in the area, because their service you will be able to come with a coworker or join a family member for business associate at this restaurant I know that you can relax and enjoy it while still getting back to work on time. I am very impressed that the owner is watching over " in person" for the beginning of what I believe will become a long-term success for a breakfast and lunch choice to the downtown area Chicago. read more

If you're in the Streeterville area during the weekend and want a relatively inexpensive (for downtown Chicago) option for brunch that doesn't include a ridiculously long wait (i.e. Wildberry), this place is great. It's in an office building, and the nondescript decor of the place matches. It had a sterile feel, but the service was warm and fast. The menu is long, so there's something for everyone. I'm a huge sucker for anything chicken fried, so I was very content with the country fried chicken and eggs. The batter was light and very crispy, which is a bit different than traditional country fried batter. Nevertheless, it was still tasty. My boyfriend got the Nutella crepes, which was just chock full of strawberries, bananas, walnut, and that addicting hazelnut spread. This would have been very good for dessert to share; it was a too decadent for breakfast. The portions here are huge, and we barely made it halfway through our dishes. Be sure you go here on a day that you don't have busy schedule because you'll need a nap after your meal. read more

My 12th time having breakfast at Eggs Inc, (see the Menu photo that I have shared). Another Five Star experience - I cannot get enough of this place. Great Selection! Great Service! Great Food! Great Location! Great Prices! Thus far, I have Delightfully consumed the Chicken Skillet, Country Benedict, Steak Philly Omelette, Corned Beef Hash & Eggs, and the Healthy Start -(a grilled chicken breast for breakfast is surprisingly excellent when it is complemented by egg whites, Mozzarella cheese, and buck wheat pancakes). AND Their new cold press smoothies are a must try! There are no less than four, 4.5 star breakfast restaurants within a two block walk from my condo. I walk by all of them, on my way to Eggs Inc Cafe. read more

Though the food came out at a nice pace, it wasn't as tasty as some reviews had made it out to be. (In our case), the pancakes were a bit dry and the panini's lacked flavor. However, the complementary chicken soup was amazing and I would've ordered just that had it been an option. Friendly, easy going staff! read more

one of the best brunch places I've been to in the neighborhood! They have a wide selection of eggs, pancakes, skillets, french toast etc. I ordered eggs my way, it came with either harsh browns (which I chose, not the best harsh brown I've had though), or fruits. It also came with pancakes (which you have to choose over toast or english muffin). The pancakes are so fluffy and buttery!!! The dining environment is bright and cozy. Servers are friendly. But the waiting time for the food to come was a little bit long than other places I feel. But I will definitely come back again, because they have reasonable price for their brunch items. read more

I've been to multiple brunch places and this place is awesome! I came in on a Sunday morning around 11. *** most places on a Sunday morning at 11 will require a wait but this place didn't! ** I walked in and sat down immediately. The food here is amazing!!! Absolutely love it! I got a mambo Italiano with sun dried tomatoes instead of regular ones and I upgraded to the chunky monkey pancake ( it has chocolate batter ) it's so yummy! My waiter had forgotten to ask a couple questions when we ordered and came back a couple of times just to double check that he wrote things right. I'm guessing he was either a newly waiter or he was simply forgetting. He was very nice! I'd totally come here again. read more

Amazing food, great service and atmosphere. I had an early appointment and was hungry for breakfast, and happen to walk in. I'm so glad I did. I was first pleased with the service. Super attentive and just really nice. Loved my waitress Bianca. She was super genuine, helpful and very on top of everything! I got a nice corner booth even though I was here alone. Food: Hash browns with two eggs, hash browns, and side if pancakes for under $11. Every component of the dish was great. Especially the pancakes. Dusted with light powder sugar. It was just right amount of sweet and fluffy. They also use frenchs no high fructose corn syrup ketchup. read more

Stopped for breakfast while on vacation with the family. We were greeted right away and then seated. The service was quick and the food was delicious. I had pancakes, an Hollywood omelette, and hash browns. It was all fantastic. The salsa is a must. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because there were a few bugs in our area. read more

We had a doctors appointment in the building last week and decided to grab some lunch beforehand at Eggs Cafe. We had pretty low to average expectations for the place, but I will say we left pleasantly surprised. Most surprisingly was their soups, sooo good. My wife got the beef barley and I got the cream of mushroom and we loved them. She ordered a chicken sandwich and I ordered the steak philly, both hitting the spot perfectly. Service is the only thing keeping this place from being a 5 star in my book. read more

Our server was great, my omelette was incredible & the prices are fair. You absolutely have to have the chunky monkey pancakes! A lady stopped me walking through the restaurant to ask what I was having- she wanted the Chunky Monkey cakes. I also noticed two other diners having these cakes. They really are something special. Also it's proximity to Navy Pier is nice. read more

Great new brunch spot in Streeterville. I tried the pancho villa omelette (chorizo, jalapeño, and avocado...medium level of spice) with a side of fruit (you can choose fruit or hash browns) and a side of pancakes (choice of toast, English muffin, pancakes). I upgraded to specialty pancakes for $3 and tried the banana crunch (topped with granola, banana, and blueberries). Delicious! Also, huge portions. Prices were very reasonable. The atmosphere was nice sitting by a window, and the whole restaurant is airy and bright. There was NO wait even without a reservation at noon on a Saturday. Honestly, I'm almost sad to write a review because then the secret will be out! read more

Have you heard of blackened red velvet pancakes? Apparently, they are only served at this restaurant. I ordered red velvet pancakes via Seamless and they arrived burned and tasteless. If you charge nearly $20 for pancakes, one would expect they would be edible. I will never order again, food was horrid. read more

I am really fond of customer service, and the treatment I received at this location from the manager was appalling. For starters, I ordered a vegetarian quesadilla and the tortilla was completely wet on the backside. I went to return it and the restaurant was closed, no biggie. On Friday morning, I call to inform the manager of my experience with the quesadilla. I spoke with a female staff who directed me to call back in 15min. When I called back, I spoke with David who was very pleasant. He apologized for my experience, confirmed the ability to remake the order or receive another item of equal value. When I went to pick up my order, I was given a bill. I informed the cashier I spoke with the manager and it was covered. She then went to get the manager, who was not David. He was very condescending and told me that the vegetables make the quesadilla wet and if it sat for 1 hr, its expected to be wet. I informed him it didn't sit for longer than 15 minutes. He then proceeded to ask if I understood what he said and in the future I can't receive replacements for an order. The nerve of this manager to question my comprehension of a quesadilla. I will never return to this establishment. I appreciate David for his professional and ability to compensate for my order. However, I won't accept spending my money at a restaurant that has someone in management with horrible customer service. He did not apologize for my previous experience and acted as if my replacement order was annoying him. read more

The avocado omelette that I had with was grossly mushy and mediocre, though it came recommended. I would not order it again. The server was very neglectful to me. I wanted more coffee I had to flag her down just for the 2nd cup, when she freely went around and asked others if they would like another cup of coffee), I needed more napkins etc. She even gave me someone else's check, in-which I had to wast more time for the corrected check. This was my second time visiting this restaurant. The first time was phenomenal; It was earlier in the day with no crowds; What happened? read more

Their website clearly says they are open every day until 3 PM. There is no signage with hours on the location. I showed up at 1:30 today and was refused service; they said the kitchen was closed. We didn't treat people like that where I worked. We stayed open when we said we would and I never lied to a customer. They lost my business today and another business earned my money. I am very angry. read more

But for the terrible service, this would be at least a 4-star review because the food tastes great and is affordable. I took a random Friday off and had breakfast with my brothers around 9am. Our food: pancho villa omelette (Chorizo Sausage, Jalapeño, Onion, Avocado and Pepper Jack Cheese) with regular pancakes, margarita senorita skillet (Scrambled Eggs with Avocado, Jalapeño Pepper, Bacon, Onions, Pepper Jack Cheese) with regular pancakes; and under the tuscan sun skillet (Scrambled Eggs with Chicken Breast, Sun-dried Tomatoes, Fresh Basil, Topped with Provolone Cheese) with red velvet pancakes. Like I said, it all tasted great and the portions were healthy. The pancakes in particular, as others have noted, are wonderful. Our server was really bad though. The place had only a few other patrons but our server mostly stayed in the back doing...who really knows what he was doing, aside from not attending to us. It took a while to put in our order and once he dropped the food off, that was it. No asking if our order was right, no dropping off napkins or anything, he just took off. We had finished eating for quite some time and dude was nowhere to be found. We had to ask someone else to call him over so we could pay and leave. I'd totally come back but just hope someone else is working that day. read more

This review is for delivery only. The food came relatively quickly and was pretty darn good. I had the Athenian frittata (Yay! Gyro meat!) and bananas foster French toast and sampled my wife's stuff (margarita señorita frittata sans bacon, which was ok, and red velvet French toast) The Athenian was the best of the lot IMHO. I found the red velvet a bit too heavy, but - fair play - they've given the French toast treatment to slices of red velvet cake. Lastly, I thought there should've been more bananas in the bananas foster French toast. You know, lean into that mutha. We'll definitely keep these guys bookmarked and hit 'em the next time we're in Chicago. read more

I was looking for a comfy place with good food and no wait time on a Saturday at 12:00pm. This was the place to go. I was seated instantly and the food came out hot and looking delicious 10mins after ordering. I ate the Angela Omelette, and once I made it to the cheese in the middle, it really hit the spot. My server, Yadira, was excellent. She was positive and attentive without being overbearing. Don't shy away from stepping into the large building. It's worth it. read more

Cannot say enough great things about this restaurant. My wife and I live nearby and we eat here 1-2 times per month. I would give it 6 stars if that were possible. It has excellent food, a wonderful menu variety, a great atmosphere, excellent service and staff, and plenty of space so usually there is no wait. Very clean. We have a 10 month old and have found it easy to get a stroller into the place, no shortage of high chairs, and good baby changing facilities in restrooms. Would highly recommend and can never get back soon enough. read more

Great food and even better price. I spent $12 on Breakfast for my boyfriend and I and was surprisingly pleased at the quality for such a cheap price. I ordered the pancakes, bacon, and eggs. The pancakes were so fluffy and tasty- you won't be disappointed. My boyfriend ordered the biscuits and gravy which came with two biscuits, cut in half, and covered with gravy. They were DELICIOUS!! There is also a half portion on the menu in case you can't handle the full. The best part about this place was that I was able to order delivery which meant I got to eat breakfast in my PJ's. It was almost as if it were made right in my own kitchen. read more

Excellent service, but I'm not a fan of the Hollywood omelet. It was green! Yes, it was. It had avocado and other leafy greens, so it created that color. Sounds healthy, but I didn't like the texture. I should have ordered a regular omelet just to be on the safe side, but I was feeling a little adventurous that day. Great coffee with flavored creamers and fantastic service from Briana. read more

Went for lunch and ordered the grilled cheese. I didn't realize the grilled cheese had bacon in it, so, being a vegetarian, I asked them if they could make another sandwich without bacon. They kindly said sure, not a problem. Five minutes later I get another sandwich, but it smells like bacon also. I look inside and didnt see bacon, so I started eating it, thinking it was my brain playing tricks on me. But after continuing to eat it, I realized this definitely smelled like bacon, and even asked the customers at thr table next to me, and they said it smelled like bacon. Then I realized that this was the same exact sandwich, they just took the bacon out. You can even see bits of the charred bacon on the cheese where it lay originally. The customers next to me, who eat meat and know the smell of bacon, told me that they were 100% sure the kitchen didn't make a new sandwich and just removed the bacon strips. On top of that, the waitress serving me was very short with me. To begin with, she didn't approach my table until I was sitting for 10 minutes and even served another table who arrived after me. I had initially given this place a 5/5 on my first visit, but after giving me a grilled cheese with bacon remnants and bacon juice grilled into the cheese, i have to change it to a 1/5 now. Doing this is a dangerous game to play with health code violations being a hot topic. read more

The food is ok, your typical breakfast diner with a few lunch items. It's the girls who take he orders that just grind my gears. No customer service skills or communication skills whatsoever. Every time I go in here, which is usually on Saturday mornings, these girls just have piss poor attitudes. Today the girl literally reached in front of me to take a customer behind me credit card. Then proceeded to acknowledge me. Like, wtf lol. I'm an entire human standing here. I don't want to pull the race card but i do notice a difference in service. read more

This review is only for delivery. I got the Mediterranean omelet and it was so good! Tons of flavor and lots of ingredients to make the omelet worth the buck. I also got sausage links and they were very thick and perfectly cooked. The only thing that wasn't he greatest was the delivery itself as the driver must of not known that i had a omelet and was not graceful with the carriage of the food. When I opened up the bag there was fluid that spilled all over my floor and myself. So, maybe make sure you communicate to your delivery people so that doesn't happen to other people. Good food though! read more

Extensive breakfast menu. Best biscuits and gravy I've had in Chicago. Generous portions. They obviously hired inexperienced waitresses. Ours was very friendly, but then spent her time elsewhere, not among the tables, chatting with coworkers and not bringing our food until it was only lukewarm. With only three of her tables occupied, I would have expected to not have to look for her and waive her down when we needed something. Forgetting that inexperience, this is a great place. Since it's a bit away from the hotel and tourist crowds it much easier to get a table in the morning, a big plus in Streeterville. read more
