Eggspress cafe had by far the best chilaquiles I've had without having to close to the city to get it. Service was good, the seating situation could be a bit better but nonetheless the food was great and I would definitely recommend it for a local breakfast spot that has a wide spread of options. read more

Eggspress Cafe - Chilaquiles Chorizo French toast - Wraps Near Me - Gages Lake, Illinois

The service was excellent, nice, pleasant waitress; place is clean and open. I've been here multiple times, today my skillet was not good. I could only taste the green peppers and onions, minimal amount of ham. I picked out the peppers and onions, but it didn't make a difference because they were diced and tiny. The eggs on top were perfect, but I couldn't eat any other part of the skillet. The pancakes were dry even after adding the syrup. On 7/9/26 breakfast was not up to what I've had on past visits. read more

We visited this cafe for the first time this morning. What a treat!!! The food was fabulous and the portions very generous. We were celebrating a birthday and the staff was extremely accommodating to the birthday girl (94) providing a brownie and song without our asking . This area needs more restaurants like this. Highly recommend and plan on being back soon. Five stars!! read more

The bacon was crunchy and barely had flavor. The waitress also brought out only one piece of toast at first for two full meals that had it as a side. She came to the table and asked if we still wanted it after asking three times while ordering as well if I wanted toast. Yes! Totally incompetent and wouldn't be back based on service alone. Horrible. At least the hash browns were good. Only redeeming quality and hey it's two stars instead of one read more

Eggspress Cafe - Bacon - Wraps Near Me - Gages Lake, Illinois

The food was bad and the service was kinda bad and dirty. But in the kitchen was bad and so dirty.

I thought since I read all the reviews that their Chicken Fried Steak and Eggs would be good. Sorry to say it wasn't. Patty was tough on edges and over cooked. If I ever go back here I would not be ordering that again. Very skimpy on the Gravy by the way too. One slice of toast, whe n usually you get two. read more

Awesome sit down Cafe. Excellent menu with fresh options. Service was quick. The ambience was clean and fresh. I highly recommend.

Amazing food, great service and cute place! Love coming here and have not had a bad thing yet!

Since moving here, I have hunted for a breakfast joint. I've tried five locally owned establishments. This is clearly the dominant player in this area. The atmosphere is filled with happy customers enjoying their rations. Absolutely everything was delicious. I say this as a fat man. I love food. I love breakfast. And wow there was nothing to disappoint. Rarely do I offer five stars. I guess it's the anguish left behind by the nuns in grade school! Just kidding! I had the meat lovers omelet, hashbrowns cooked well, pancakes, and a half order of biscuits and gravy. Let this just say it all. I'll be back regularly for the food, service, and ambiance! I hope to run into my neighbors here! read more

Never would of tried this place if it wasn't for recommendations and the reviews. Service has been super friendly multiple times now, ambiance is super cute, and food is very very good! read more

Lovely spot for brunch. Service was very good. Breakfast was tasty especially the 3 milk French toast. Portions size was good for the cost.

Eggsalent!Really was a great breakfast. Very nice restaurant, service is top notch, dining room is very clean and so are the bathrooms. It's in a strip mall and doesn't look like much from the street but don't let that fool you. Well worth a visit. read more

The food was excellent. I had a chicken avocado skillet over sweet potatoes. It was delicious. Putting the eggs and veggies over sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes was better than I could have imagined. The waitress was great. I will definitely come back. read more

Chilaquiles were perfect (crunchy) and the skirt steak was so tender. Definitely will come back again.

Eggspress cafe is the perfect spot for pretty much anything. The place is beautiful, their food is amazing, their staff is the kindest ever and they are just overall amazing. Highly recommend! read more

Went here for the first time with my parents for brunch one Sunday. We mentioned how cold it was outside and the server kindly sat us as far as possible from the door to escape the chill for a bit. My mom and I had the Crab Cake Eggs Benedict and Dad had a waffle with fresh fruit and it was all very good. The service was also great. We're already planning on returning for lunch/dinner. read more

Excellent food, great service and good prices. I had a simple egg dish. It came very quickly.

Eggspress Cafe - Green Enchiladas with Chicken +Avocado and Onion - Wraps Near Me - Gages Lake, Illinois

The service was quick and the food came out quick, went here on a Tuesday for brunch. I ordered the Steak and 2 eggs and asked the steak as rare. The steak and eggs came out, the steak was of low quality. Also, the steak wasn't even warm to the touch. (stringy and just looks of cheap quality and not worth the $24 price tag of the meal). The ambiance was pretty however the quality of the food ruined the whole vibe and ambiance. I hope this helps read more

Tried this place for the first time today. I had been meaning to since driving by recently. I've been looking for a new place to have breakfast. I ordered Eggs Benedict, as I almost always do. On the menu it was the 'ham' version. A lot of restaurants use ham instead of Canadian bacon, which is acceptable. The eggs were overcooked a little. One of the treats of eating this dish is when the runny egg yolks combine with the hollandaise, which didn't happen today. The hollandaise was pretty good, with good consistency. I would suggest including a sharp knife when serving this dish, like a steak knife. Without it, it's easy to make a mess of things cutting through the ham. The hash browns were very good. The orange juice was good, although it tasted like fresh squeezed mixed with concentrate, just my opinion. The coffee was good. The server, David, was quite good, and friendly. read more

This is a follow up to a prior review. We had a party of three dining for breakfast. Food was great, and service was way better than my initial review. My only downside is the acoustics inside the restaurant cause it to be somewhat loud. Will definitely be coming back again. Nicely done Eggspress! read more

Eggspress Cafe is a hidden gem, and a must stop location if you're looking into a local breakfast spot! I had the vegetarian skillet and their house coffee, which were both delicious. If you need to you can make substitutions to your plate, and all of their ingredients tasted fresh. One of my favorite things about this locations is the ambiance of the location, it can be a meet up spot for a casual breakfast or a breakfast spot for a celebration, plus their service was amazing! I can't wait to go back! read more

My first visit here and I enjoyed it greatly. I think it is a great addition to the area, unfortunately I never got to visit the restaurant it was prior but I am glad I stopped in for breakfast. The inside is very nice and modern, not a long wait. The food was great and low prices. service was great as well. I am excited to try more things on the menu including the mimosa flight! read more

I've only had breakfast, but the food is amazing. Great prices and huge portions. My go to is the green chilaquiles with scrambled eggs. The chips are crispy and the greens sauce has just right amount of kick. The service is exceptional and the hosts are incredibly gracious. It's a small restaurant with lots of windows to give it a nice cherry feeling. I want to go there now! read more

The breakfast food is good, but the service was poor. My wife and I decided to try a new place for breakfast. It was a busy Sunday morning, but they seemed to have enough servers. It just seemed that they didn't prioritize service. We had to ask for drink refills and almost left before our food came because it took so long to get. Good food and portions, but not a positive experience. read more

Cute place, used to be a few other restaurants. They didn't know how to make well done hash browns. Omelette and service were just ok. read more

No waiting on a Saturday morning. Fast service and good food. Perfect for impromptu breakfast stop.

I ordered a pickup order. I didn't dine in this time. But i definitely will be next time. Definitely good food. I had been to another location in bannockburn and I was very pleased so I tried a location that was a little closer to me. I was not disappointed. The food was very good. It was fresh, and I was very satisfied with my meal. Great portions sizes. Overall, really good experience read more

The biscuits and gravy are garbage. Thin, not filling. The cook obviously doesn't care.

Went here with friends yesterday and I wanted to leave a compliment on the customer service. We got here shortly before closing and didn't realize it. We were waiting on the rest of our party to show up. The waiter told us to take our time and that they'd be ok for us to wait on our party and enjoy our meal. David was our waiter. He was so patient and explained things on the menu for us as we were over the phone ordering for our friends that hadn't arrived yet due to an emergency. On top of all of that the food was outstanding. Everyone was satisfied with their meal. Usually when places are closing you get the leftovers. Ours was fresh and made with love. Please visit this establishment. read more

Orderd take out and the food was delicious! Very nice inside. Staff was friendly. Will go back!

First timer here ! I ordered the red chilaquiles with steak and it was DELICIOUS. All the flavor was there and it had a little bit of spice to it. I ordered a birria taco on the side and they served it with some salsa and I wish I have ordered more . This restaurant is a HIDDEN GEM! The staff is friendly, respectful and the place is clean. Highly recommend! read more
