Overall Experience At the last minute we decided to try Eggspectation because the menu offered what we both had a taste for. Upon entry we were greeted by a not so friendly host. The host failed to communicate where we would be seated, so our server guided us to our seats. Under the circumstances the server was working in, she did an excellent job. She was very friendly and helpful during our visit. Because there were two large parties our ordering time was cut short due to the lack of help. We could understand being short handed and having to serve two big parties + other guests an hour before closing. While waiting on our meal we had to listen to a distributing guest loudly cursing at other people in his party. It took awhile before the manager silenced him. No fault of the team, however this was just as disappointing as the automatic 20% gratuity. Overall Taste We decided to order the fried Calamari appetizer that wasn't very appetizing. My husband ordered the Shrimp and Grits and I ordered the Chicken and Waffles, with extra powdered sugar and strawberries on top. That was absolutely the best waffle I have ever had. It tasted just like a funnel cake, which is my favorite dessert. The texture and taste of the waffle met all of my needs. The chicken was cooked to perfection. Crispy on the outside and juicy in the inside. My husband said has Shrimp and Grits were good but not worth the price of $21. The quality of ingredients didn't match the price tag. I could agree with that. No chicken and waffles or Shrimp and Grits is worth $83. Based on our experience I can definitely understand the mix reviews. Our visit sucked and was great all at the same time... confusing right? Any who, based on my waffles I will be back! read more

June 29, 2022 2:10pm Wednesday Very friendly waitress. Initially I wasn't happy with the price of The Chesapeake (crab eggs Benedict) It was almost $30. But I understand price of food has gone up. This is what I came here for so I decided to order it anyway. They have other items/meals cheaper but initially this was what I wanted. I must say, even though they're expensive it was worth it. The serving size was perfect as I didn't leave overwhelmingly full. Everything tastes really good. The waitress checked on me a few times. As did the manager. I appreciate that. I will say a few things threw me off. 1. The booth seat had crumbs in it. 2. This glass window was broken and an eyesore. You know I checked the bathroom. While it wasn't THAT dirty, this was a perfect time to sweep the floor and tidy up. They were not busy AT ALL. Also, in the first stahl there was an inch/1.5 peekaboo slats all the way down the wall. Not cool at all. See photos. Otherwise, Y'all don't sleep on this restaurant! Give it a try I don't think you'll regret it. I'll be back. read more

We were seated right away, around 11:30a for Sunday brunch. It quickly started to fill up and looked much busier when we left. Our food also came out in a decent amount of time and the service was adequate. One note is the menu at the table was difficult to read (small print and not the most accessible font for different vision capabilities). The online menu that the QR code sends you to was different than the menu that was actually available. I got the waffle with strawberries and salted caramel. The waffle was fluffy and crispy. The toppings weren't too sweet. It was just one waffle which is enough for me but may not be enough if you want something more substantial. Everyone at my table enjoyed their food. read more

I've been here twice now and it's become one of my favorite brunch spots in Richmond. The food is just so good and I've always been blessed with great service. The last time I visited, I got the lamb chops with sautéed spinach and some potatoes and onions. It was sooo good and my lamb chops were cooked perfectly. I would say that I'm a little annoyed with them, because they don't allow reservations on the weekend. However, other than that I love it here! read more

One and done. Not a great restaurant. Food was 2.5 stars but.... The staff is lackluster. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is dirty in the light of day.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There was dust on my light above the table and I pointed it out to the manager, and she moved her fingers over it and the dust from the light fell into my meal.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I did get upset about it and she offered a fresh meal, I said no thanks, so she angrily said that my meal was no charge. Wow! You would think she would want to know that the filth was not acceptable, and I was trying to help her out. But, no, she got pissed off at me for saying it was filthy. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I've got pics of dirty windows, dirty lamps, things peeling off the walls.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Needless to say, I will NEVER go back. Lackluster food, bad service and a dirty restaurant. No thanks. read more

Food was great, Service was on point and very attentive. We were both just going to order a single drink until we were informed that they did Mimosa flights. So of course we had to do Mamosa fights... I got the corned beef with poached eggs which was yummy. It was a small serving, but I was full my friend got the bagel breakfast sandwich with potatoes on the side... everything was delicious! read more

My eggspectation of the food was high, hence the name and the food and service definitely matched that. We split 2 dishes. The Cajun pasta and chicken & waffles Cajun pasta- 8 They accommodated my shrimp allegergies and just put it on the side for the table. The pasta tasted homemade and was perfectly cooked Chicken & waffles - 9 Chicken was seasoned and cooked perfectly. The waffle wasn't too sweet and was definitely one of the top waffles I've ever had. I also got a smoothie that is not pictured but hit the spot and had a wonderful consistency. I just wish I got more smoothie for the price. Brian, our waiter was also absolutely amazing. Great energy, was attentive, and joy to be served by Overall the meal and service was a 10/10 read more

I come here often because it is near an office where I have frequent appointments. They have a HUGE menu with a lot to choose from. Because I love Avocado Toast AND eggs Benedict, I find their Avocado Toast Benedict brilliant. Unfortunately, I haven't enjoyed the other dishes I've tried nearly as much. The service I've experienced is inconsistent, but not to extremes. It's never been fabulous, nor has it been terrible. Sometimes it's good, sometimes it's not very good. But, my Avocado Toast Benedict is always good. I can't say I'd seek this place out if it wasn't convenient, nor would I miss it much, but I'll keep coming back for the dish I enjoy when I'm nearby. It's worth the stop, and I look forward to it when I'm in the area. The restaurant is bright and roomy, and there's a patio for days when the weather is cooperative. read more

Egg Pectations (Stony Point) 3 out of 5 stars for me Staff with No Mask Food wasn't paired well, All American Classic basicly a meat dish (Ham, link sausage and bacon) with an egg and potatoes.

This was my first time trying this place and let's just say they exceeded my eggspectations. I assumed this was just a brunch place but they have quite a lot of variety. They have vegetarian and gluten free options. The inside is nice and larger than expected. A full bar is available and they have some eye catching desserts. Prices and service were okay. I opted for the lobster Mac and cheese and it didn't look like the picture but it was pretty good! Sufficient amount of lobster and it was very cheesy. Would totally try them again. read more

We came here today for brunch and everything was amazing. We ordered the eggspection, waffle and chicken and both were equally good. We also ordered the shrimp and crab omelette which was not so good. It seemed like it was missing a crab sauce or something. Or waitress, was equally friendly and knowledgeable about the menu items. We will definitely be back. read more

My 2yo son and I ate here after his eye appointment down the road. It was late morning and quiet at stony point mall. Place was practically empty. This restaurant is right on the corner of the outdoor mall, so if you don't want to shop, it's easy to get to. If you do, you can just take a left when you're done and explore. Service was casual and light, server was attentive and brought us everything we needed. I ordered the breakfast tacos for myself, which come with egg scramble, a creamy sauce, pico, cilantro, Potatos, and three different meat choices, one on each taco. Chorizo bacon and sausage. Mine arrived without meat and I didn't notice til I ate one. Really good without, but I told the server I was expecting meat. She offered to take it back and make a new plate correctly, or a discount if I didn't have time to wait. 17$ is a lot for just some egg tacos so I requested the full meal. It was amazing. And even better the third time at home cold from the fridge. Mine came with a large side of banana strawberry and blueberry. My son got the kids French toast with fruit. Also delicious. Would come again for a drink. read more

First impressions were not great. We arrived around noon, but there didn't seem to be any "lunch rush" to impact the flow of business . After being ignored at the host stand for a few minutes, we were seated outside as requested. It took almost 20 minutes for our server to greet the table, by which time we had already settled on our order. It took another 25 minutes for my wife's margarita to arrive at the table. It was tiny, but adequate. Immediately thereafter, the food arrived. The food was all really enjoyable. My crepe was huge and well stuffed. The side salad had a delicious olive oil dressing. My wife's Reuben was enjoyable. The prices, though? The prices are all outrageous. I mean, too high by at least 30%. That leads me to my next point: the check automatically included 20% gratuity for two adults and a child! I worked in restaurants for more than a decade, and I have NEVER heard of automatic gratuity for a party so small, and at lunch. Knowing that transformed my impression of the service: they weren't just slow, they had no reason to provide any level of service when they were getting automatic gratuity! Bottom line? The food was good, but the experience was terrible, and the prices are exorbitant. The service was lackluster, and the quality was not in our be with the ridiculous prices. I won't be returning. read more

After the Michaelangelo Sistine Chapel exhibit, we were feeling a bit peckish and thought we would be a bite to eat at Eggspectations. A lovely place inside. We were seated immediately and greeted by our server pretty quickly. A nice selection from which to choose. As you can tell from the name of the restaurant, a lot of brunch-y things, but sandwiches and salads too. Most of us stuck to the brunch stuff. I rarely turn down a proper Eggs Benedict and enjoyed my order. I especially liked the lyonnaise potatoes that came as a side. Dining companions all seemed to enjoy their orders. The restaurant seems pretty cool with making substitutions when asked too. Our share of the check came to about $50+ with 20% tip added in. A bit more than I usually spend for breakfast. read more

Here's the story of Silverlocks and the Big Bear. Once upon a time, Silverlocks went into this eatery and ordered her breakfast just like she always did. "I'll have my eggs over medium-well, not too runny not too hard, with extra crispy bacon." The nice server brought her meal. "How is everything?" she asked. Silverlocks replied kindly, "These eggs are too hard and the bacon is too limp." So the server took the dish back to the kitchen. A second meal was delivered to the table. The patient server asked again, "How is everything?" Silverlocks smiled and said, "These eggs are too soft, but the bacon is just right! Don't worry about the eggs, most places have a hard-boiled time getting them to my liking." But then, the cook came to the table. He didn't fry off the handle, instead he gave us a warm greeting! He was looked like a Big Bear but so friendly and sweet. The Big Bear said in a thunderous voice, "I want your eggs to be perfect! Let me bring you some more!" "Really", Silverlocks implored, "It's okay, you don't have to do that." But, Big Bear insisted saying, "No, I want you to have them right! We are Eggspectations, after all!" So, Big Bear went back to the kitchen and personally brought out two more eggs. Sadly, they were too runny. But Big Bear didn't give up! Silverlocks told him the secret: "Just make the eggs over medium, then leave them for about another 30-45 seconds and they should come out ok!" Once again, Big Bear served Silverlocks her eggs. He waited in eggspectation as she tried the dish. After one bite Silverlocks declared, "These aren't too soft or too hard! They are JUST RIGHT! And that's no yolk!" Then everyone cracked up! Silverlocks was so impressed with Big Bear's persistence in eggscellent customer service, that she gave the restaurant 5 stars!! What an eggscapade Silverlocks had at this modern, cool cafe! She vowed to come again because Big Bear was so pleasant and she didn't have to shell out a lot of cash! Big Bear grinned and said that he'd always remember her eggsact egg order from now on! And they all lived happily ever after. When Silverlocks went home and told her husband about her eggsperience, he inquired, "Why don't you just order your eggs scrambled?" She answered, "Beats me!"

As a breakfast food lover, I was really excited to try out Eggspectation. I checked out their menu ahead of time and was looking forward to trying some creative new breakfast dishes. There were lots of safety measures in place for Covid - masks required, distanced tables, touchless menu, and hand sanitizer stations. I appreciated these measures and felt safe while dining. I ordered the Toluca Poutine. It is supposed to be a take on traditional poutine. It is tots, cheese curds, and grilled onions topped with gravy, pico de gallo, and an egg. In my opinion, it was just okay. There weren't many tots and I didn't see any cheese curds. The chorizo was yummy, but so greasy that there was almost an inch of grease in the bottom of my dish. Not super appetizing! My friend got the corned beef hash and loved it. The service was polite, but got a little inattentive once our food had arrived. It took a long time to get drink refills. The restaurant itself is nicely laid out and I love the decor. Overall, I was impressed with the overall menu options and the atmosphere. I would definitely come back another time to give them another chance and try a different entree. The Toluca Poutine, in theory, sounded delish, but in practice it fell a little short. read more

The service and food were both eggceptional. My party of 10 enjoyed the professionalism of the waitress and staff

Lovely place and restaurant.... Great food with quite a variety of flavor based on what you are looking for.vthr lemon ricotta blueberry was super sweet but my poutine was very savory. Generally positive but would have liked a little crispier potato in my poutine (I think they were scalloped which doesn't lend itself to bring crispy, but I've had a lot of poutine with crispy French fries so I guess I have a strong leaning towards that). It can be a bit pricy but still reasonable value since*everything* is more expensive! read more

Not too busy for a Saturday afternoon. Thank goodness there is a bar for adults. Which is where i sat. My food came out lukewarm for there not to be many people. My plate was scolding hit but not the food. I got the salmon tacos and potatoes. My wait for those items were 20 minutes. I ordered the pumpkin cold brew. I have ordered this before at other establishments. Sheesh the amount of whipped cream to actual drink ratio pissed me off. It's 75% whipped cream and the rest drink no taste of alcohol. For drinkers i highly advise not to order this drink and inform the staff you would like your food hot. read more

We decided to try this place and found it on door dash. The food arrived quickly. All was good. I ordered the lobster Omelette and added tomatoes and crab meat. It was so good there was an ample amount of lobster meat in the omelette. Although the potatoes were mornin the manner in which I expected, they did taste good. Nicely seasoned. He ordered the s'mores few toast. He said that everything was good and cooked perfectly. I would not mind trying this place again. I am not sure I'd I would try something different or if I would ordered them same exact thing next time. There is a decent selection to choose from. read more

Our first visit to this restaurant was on a Tuesday around 1pm. There were two other tables with guests and us. Our server was pleasant but not attentive. The food was good but our overall bill was nearly $50 for two breakfast taco meals. No drinks. We waited forever for the wait person to take our order. The food came out quickly but again, it took FOREVER for the check to come. I always tip at least 20% but I really DISLIKE having an automatic 20% tip. I doubt if I'll ever go back. read more

First let me say that the staff, atmosphere and coffee were excellent. That being said, what I ordered was just beyond bad and I'm still trying to figure out who came up with this dish and thought it was a good idea. I ordered YOLK AROUND THE CLOCK. Which if you read the description sounds like a bagel sandwich. What I got was two dry bagel slices side by side on the plate, tops facing up. The eggs were underneath the bagel and on the top of the bagel was bacon and "melted" cheese. The cheese was plastic cheese. You know how when you heat cheese it turns darker before melting. Yeah it was the dark part but not melted and had the consistency of plastic. I finally just used a knife and fork trying to combine the ingredients. The potatoes were not good either. They were cooked but sweet. I have no idea the sauce on them but it was too sweet and off putting. I couldn't eat them or cover the taste with catsup. So would I go back? Maybe if I had nowhere else to go while in that area or for a cup of coffee read more

Unfortunately I have to update my review because ever since they filed bankruptcy a lot has changed. They have increased the prices, decreased the food..and after several visits there are always a ton of flies near the booth/window area. It was so bad we had to ask to be moved. The kids meal is now $7.50 which includes nothing!!! 1 pancake is $7.50 with no bacon or side included. A cup of orange juice is $6.00!!!!! Also, I always order the iced coffee but some waiters don't even know they offer it. They will bring a regular coffee with ice in it, but others do make it right. This is usually my go to breakfast spot but I don't think I will be returning to spend $100 on a breakfast for 2-3 read more
