    Scarfed down the Mexican skillet and fried chicken and biscuits
    Jonnelle C.

    Ok sooo I was starving and I wanted food comfort food. I was told to come here. It's Monday, got sat immediately but I chose to sit at the bar instead. Ordered chicken and biscuits, and Mexican skillet with side of sausage. A coffee and fresh squeezed orange juice! I got my food within minutes. Amazing and fresh. I scarfed it all down quickly so you know it was good. I added jalapeños to my skillet so it was delicious. It was a cool vibe, 90s pop playing and not too busy on a Monday.

    Al pastor skillet with pancake
    Les D.

    This joint is tucked tight below the skyscrapers and next to Mariano's Market. And it's a great place for breakfast. Big mugs for coffee and tea already set on the table. Big menu with some Mexican influenced items. Easy menu to read with highlighted specialties. Al pastor skillet served quickly. Nice skillet, reasonable portion. Potatoes can tend to either get dense and chewy or wet and soppy. Not here. Just fluffy yet firm potatoes in this skillet dish. Pancake on the side. I'm holding the fifth star due to syrup. Eggy's gives top notch food and service, but the syrup is industrial pancake syrup. A true maple syrup, or at least something a little more delicate would have put the exclamation point on my breakfast. Terrific place for a breakfast.

    Picante skillet
    Nick V.

    Visiting area for business trip. Great breakfast. Enjoyed the picante skillet. Plenty of food and just right spice level. Had to wait about 10 minutes for table Saturday morning at about 10 am. Parking a challenge in this popular area. Quick service, clean, and reasonable prices for area. Would definitely go again if in area.

    White Mocha Latte

    We had breakfast here on Thursday morning during our trip and the place was almost empty! Homey and warm place with gorgeous views outside. Staff here were friendly, quick and efficient with their service. White mocha latte - Yum! Perfect balance of sweet and bitter without one overpowering. The drink was super creamy and tasty. Avocado toast - Too much arugula in this but the overall taste was really delicious. We appreciated how they served fruit as a side. Biscuit and gravy with scrambled eggs - Scrambled eggs were bland. Biscuit was more like having a donut - fluffy and soft to eat. It was a satisfying dish to have overall for breakfast.

    Fried Chicken & Biscuits
    Benedict C.

    We found Eggy's while looking for breakfast places within walking distance to our hotel. The place is very nice and it wasn't too busy on a rainy Sunday morning. Our party of 2 was seated right away and our waitress brought over some water and took our drink orders. I went with the fried chicken and biscuits while my dining partner went with the American skillet. The food came out pretty quickly and it was all solid. I tried the breakfast potatoes first and they were seasoned perfectly and cooked well. They had some bite to them but they weren't hard. They were seasoned pretty simply but they tasted great. The fried chicken was fried very well; the outside was almost crispy while the interior stayed juicy. I love sausage gravy and Eggy's is solid; delicious when slathered over the fried chicken and biscuits. The overeasy eggs on top added even more to the textures and flavors. The biscuits were the lowlight of the meal but they were still decent. One of them was a little overdone so it was super dry while the other was softer. A little inconsistent but they were both tasty. I enjoyed their coffee and my girlfriend seemed to enjoy her matcha latte and American skillet. All-in-all, a solid breakfast spot.

    Veggie Skillet
    Swapna S.

    Went here for a weekday brunch and it was pretty crowded. Service was quick. Menu was huge with large diner menu of pancakes, skillets and many more I got the skillet and soup. I am glad that i found something vegetarian in the menu even though it was egg based. Its a bit more on the pricey side for a diner. Ambiance was bright and service was decent

    good brunch food but not worth the wait to get seated or the wait to get food. on a sunday morning, the wait was obnoxiously long and once we ordered, it also took awhile to receive our food. we ordered a smoothie in addition to our order and the staff forgot about it for so long that we just cancelled the order. in terms of food, it's solid but not anything particularly special. the chicken tortilla soup was delectable and the chorizo eggs benedict was a nice combo. but the panini was pretty normal. the interior has diner vibes, it's very casual.

    We went twice while we were visiting Chicago. The food was good- flavorful and warm. The service was timely and the servers were attentive and nice. It's a bit busy in there and you may end up sitting very close to other people, but I appreciated them trying to reduce wait times.

    Grilled Chicken Sandwich.

    What a great find. Popped in here for lunch and enjoyed it very much. The grilled chicken sandwich had a great spicy sauce. BLT sandwich was good, but should be made with iceberg lettuce, not field greens. My Tortilla soup was great. Excellent French fries. Broad menu of breakfast and typical diner food. Isaac was a great server.

    Obsessed! Eggy's is phenomenal, delicious food, fast service, large portions, and super affordable. Perfect spot for breakfast, brunch, or lunch. Always hits the spot!

    Puerco Picante Skillet
    Penny B.

    Sunday brunch!!! The restaurant itself was a little difficult to find but once we found it, we hit a jackpot. The restaurant is a cute, trendy spot with fun signs around. All the savory dishes (skillet, black bean burger, veggie panini) were incredible! The fries are shoestring cut, crispy, and very yummy. The chicken and waffles dish was huge. Could be shared if you have a smaller appetite. (It's a whole half of a chicken.) The crepes were just alright. They weren't thin enough and there wasn't enough nutella on it for my liking. The service was very quick and responsive. I will definitely be visiting again!

    Hi? Does anyone know where or what brand is the orange juice they serve im from florida and have not been able to find that sweeten taste and wonderful taste their orange juice had when i visited

    Sorry. I don't know the answer.

    Can anyone clarify the seating policy for the bar? It has always been walk up and first come first serve, but we were just kicked out as walk-ups for a reservation by the hostess? Is this the new policy?

    We ate at the bar last time, but were seated by the hostess there. We were a family of 4.

    Does anyone know if eggy's potatoes are gluten free? Thanks!

    Potatoes in general are gluten free. I don't see anything that's added that would result in them not being gluten free.

Thick, creamy, smooth and rich. The cinnamon came through warm but not too strong, plus a little extra on top that hit your nose before the first sip. Sweet and it almost had this slight earthy note too... hard to explain but good. It even had that little design on top, like the ones they do on cappuccinos. Didn't expect that but it was cool. I finished it slow. Didn't wanna rush it. Just sat there taking small sips and enjoying it while it was still hot.

The outside had a light coating of sugar that gave it just the right amount of sweetness without being too much. Once I bit into it, the inside was soft, airy, and slightly chewy from the sourdough, which made it different from a regular donut. There was a subtle tang from the sourdough that balanced the sweetness really well, so it never felt overly sugary. It had a light crispness on the outside, then a warm, pillowy center that practically melted away with each bite. I finished it way faster than I expected. The only thing I forgot was ordering something to drink with it. Looking back, a good coffee would've made it even better. Still, I'd definitely stop by again the next time I'm in the area.

Their pineapple buns and egg tarts are her favorites as well. Saint Anna has also been part of our daughter's childhood. When she was little, my husband used to bring her here before or after Chinese school in Chinatown on Sundays. Her go-to breakfast items were the Butter Bun, Ham and Macaroni in Soup, and Diced Ham and Corn in Cream Rice. As she got older, Curry Chicken with Potato became her favorite. She especially loved the potato cubes soaked in the delicious, mild curry sauce. She would always ask for more potatoes and less chicken, haha! Saint Anna is a family-run business, and Sara and Irene, the daughters-in-law, used to take care of the front of house. They were always so friendly and accommodating. After a 6-year hiatus, we finally returned one Friday recently when we happened to be in the area with a friend. Sara is now a co-owner, and it was wonderful to see her again. She immediately recognized us and was so warm and welcoming. She even asked me to relay her greetings to my sisters when she greeted us and again when we were leaving.
