Mama's Egg House was happening!!! Prices were pretty standard (average $15-20) and the food portion was generous!! Lots of options on the menu. Came on a quiet Tuesday morning and got quick service. There were other people dining in too. The food was super yummy and fresh. Overall had a positive experience and would come back again! Cute, modern interior and easy parking. read more

My daughter and I drove up from Palm Springs for the day and stopped here for breakfast. Even though I usually plan ahead and had already chosen what I wanted for breakfast, but when I was ready to order, they had birria chilequiles on special. The patio is super cute and the service was speedy. Everyone was really nice. The food was solid and filling! read more

Stopped by this breakfast spot during a day trip to Idyllwild and got there early--just in time before the line was out the door. You order first and then find a seat, which was easy enough. There's a community table, and we ended up sitting with some locals and chatting while waiting for our food, which was a nice touch. This is definitely not a quiet place--it's very busy and can get pretty loud--but the food was excellent and the customer service was friendly and welcoming. Overall, a really good experience and worth the stop. read more

Great good and service. A little pricey, but then you're up in a small town. There is usually a line, but moved pretty fast. read more

We had such a great experience at Mama's Egg House! There is both indoor seating and an outdoor patio with a beautiful view. The menu is even better, clearly labeled with vegan options, which was so helpful. The food was delicious, the service exceptional, and to top it all off, they are incredibly pet-friendly. Highly recommend visiting if you're in Idyllwild. I'll definitely be back again with my pup, who also had a wonderful time enjoying the friendly staff and visitors. And to the management at Mama's Egg House, thank you so much for the note on your window about hot concrete and how harmful it can be for pups to walk on in high heat without paw protection. Spreading awareness is so important and you are awesome for that! :) read more

was absolutely knocked out by how good this place is. my "modest" expectations were exceeded by a country mile and then some. lots of locals and working folks in the customer mix and not just "weekenders." always a good sign. woke up EARLY and worked a couple of hours before taking a break to grab something to eat. got there late. wasn't feeling breakfast so I ordered the BACON-MUSHROOM BURGER with fries. turns out, MAMA's EGG HOUSE is another surprisingly good place to grab a burger in Idyllwild. the RED CHILAQUILAS with beans and scrambled eggs were outstanding. stole a bite when the wife-unit wasn't looking. have a mild preference for green but was still impressed. had the BACON, SCRAMBLED EGGS, and PANCAKES on another visit and they were solid too. make a point of brunching here every time we weekend (or longer) at the cabin. highly recommended. read more

Oh my bajeebers, this place is good! First off, you order at the counter, and they bring it to your table. They have a great outdoor seating area, as well as indoor, with a lot of light and very airy as well. Started off with freshly squeezed orange juice. YUM!! Hubs and I shared a Chili Verdi Omelette and he added 1 pancake. It was so delicious! The sauce was perfectly flavored with a hint of heat, but not spicy at all. There were good chunks of pork in it as well. The hashbrowns were crispy, and the bread that came with it was toasted and yet soft. The pancake was really fluffy with berries on top. I think he said it was $3 extra. Not bad at all. Speaking with the waitress, she said they make their freshly squeezed orange juice on demand and all of their juices and smoothies don't have any added sugar. Maybe some honey but pure fruits and vegetables. I haven't tried any of their specialty juices, but I'm going back to do so! The girls working there were super friendly and helpful. Love this place! read more

I ate here the other day and was blown away by the nice atmosphere, food and the service. I ordered the Chilaquiles Rojos and it was some of the best Mexican food I've had in a long time. The whole meal was flavorful, filling, and tasted outstanding. My husband enjoyed his chicken fried steak, but said that my meal tasted better. We also got a side of sausages and they were amazing. They were very juicy and spicy. The young lady who served us was friendly and attentive. I look forward to going there to try more items on their menu. They are a solid breakfast and lunch spot that would satisfy anyone who's looking for a good meal with fresh tasty ingredients. read more

We loved Momma Egg House in Idyllwild! The food was absolutely delicious. I had a mimosa and French toast with eggs and it was perfect, and my husband ordered the breakfast steak burrito--so flavorful and filling. Everything tasted fresh and made with care. We will definitely be coming back the next time we're in Idyllwild. Highly recommend! read more

This place is consistently delicious! So much so I often forget to take pictures. Nearly every morning lately I've been getting a green goddess juice with ginger instead of orange juice (and two if it's a Tuesday since they close Wednesdays), and it's the perfect pick me up and delicious every time. The burritos are huge and even more satisfying with chorizo, and the fried chicken with waffles is worth every bite (and I sometimes sub out the waffle for salad if it's more lunch time). The kiddos always get and love their pancakes eggs bacon etc, and really I guess this is all to say that almost everything I've had there has been perfection, and even the things that weren't exactly my taste upon order were easily amenable with their spicy salsa. It gets crowded on the weekends so allow extra time, but they move REALLY fast and are very kind. The vibe is relaxing and it's fun to watch the town bustle from the front porch area. Thank you Mamas Egg House! read more

Such a cute spot for Saturday brunch! Sat outside where the sun was peaking and the breeze was nice. Staff were nice and friendly. I had the Manny's omelette which had cactus in it, never tried one and it was pretty good. Matcha latte was ok. Hubby had the Country fried steak which was cooked nicely. He liked his Chai latte. Portions were big and we definitely left very full. read more

This was the perfect vacation brunch spot; I even went back twice during a short staycation.

This was the most recommended breakfast restaurant while we were visiting, so naturally we had to stop by and check out the hype. Food is delicious and lives up to the hype (so if you're unsure, take the plunge!). The most recommended dish was their Tiramisu French Toast, and I can definitely agree with this. Perfect French toast with a rich, tiramisu-esque whipped cream complete with fruit and a lady finger. A decadent breakfast that is perfect for someone who likes the sweeter things. While simple, their trio breakfast is also a great choice - especially if you like the classics. Eggs, bacon, toast, and fruit. A hearty breakfast that will leave you satisfied. A more laidback restaurant as you order at the counter, and they'll bring the food out to your table. We sat outside, weather was nice, and it was so incredibly enjoyable. Dog friendly outside, which is always a major plus when picking a restaurant. Definitely recommend as a great stop for breakfast. read more

I came here via car for lunch on a Friday in late November 2024. We found street parking pretty close by. The food here was surprisingly very tasty and flavorful. I ordered the Country Fried Steak and it was very yummy. The batter was very crispy and the sauce was excellent. I was able to finish the entire steak - it was that good. I normally don't finish the food that I order and have to take it home. We sat outside and the weather was perfect. The service was good. You have to go to the counter to order and they give you a number to place on your table. I would highly recommend this place if you ever go to Idyllwild. read more

This place gets very packed on the weekends, so be prepared to wait in line if you come during peak hours. That said, the food makes the wait worth it. We ordered the country fried steak, which was made with good-quality meat, thick cut, and deep fried perfectly with a nice crispy coating. The gravy could use a bit more flavor, but overall it still paired well with the steak and didn't take away from the dish. We also tried Manny's omelette, which I highly recommend. It had a great balance of chorizo, mushrooms, and grilled peppers, and everything came together really well in both flavor and texture. Overall, a solid spot for a hearty meal, especially if you don't mind a bit of a wait on busy weekends. read more

This place was spectacular. Food was incredible. I got Manny's Omelet, which is chorizo, cactus, mushrooms, red onion, pepper jack cheese, avocado. Absolutely delicious I highly recommend getting this. The chorizo was phenomenal and I love me some napoles fruit cup was fresh, and the sourdough was solid. You pay at the register fyi.

Where do I even start? I love it! My friend group heard good reviews on TikTok and decided to give it a try. Those reviews did not disappoint at all. Pros: - The portions!! The portions were huge. It's definitely worth the money. The food here can be share with another person. - The chicken was so crunchy and well seasoned. That was my favorite dish out of everything we got. - The restroom check: clean! - The service was nice and the vibes were good. Cons: - The sandwich could use a little bit more seasoning, but we fixed it with some salt and ketchup! Overall, I would 100% come back just for the chicken and waffle. I love it. Thank you for reading. read more

Cute and cozy little spot with plenty of outdoor seating and some indoor seating as well! Prepare to order at the counter, have a seat, and wait for your meal to come out. We tried the Benedict Florentine and the Steak Breakfast Burrito and they were delicious!!! The Benedict exceeded my expectations, just wish the english muffin was toasted more. The fresh squeezed orange juice is an also a must. read more

The food and service were good. It's a little different than I'm use too. You go in and order your food, then seat yourself outside. The server brings you your food as it's ready instead of waiting til all the orders in your party is ready. Which means we were eating and finishing at different times. Once the food is received, no one comes by to check on the tables. You have to either go inside or flag one them as they come out. So I'm not sure why you would tip. The food is okay but a little expensive for breakfast. But with the prices the way they are today it's a little understandable. The outdoor ambiance was amazing. read more

We had brunch here both mornings during our weekend in Idyllwild. Mama's Egg House is exactly the kind of cozy, down-to-earth spot you hope to find in a mountain town. The food was hearty and delicious both days--classic breakfast done right. We sat outside each time, and it was the perfect setting--peaceful, fresh mountain air, and the sweet sounds of birds nearby. That kind of calm is hard to come by, and it made the whole experience even better. Idyllwild Mama's Egg House is the kind of place you return to--not just for the food, but for the atmosphere and the good vibes. Can't wait to come back next time we're in town! read more

I read another person's review about the gravy, and was very skeptical! Needless to say, I am a believer now!! I'm a gravy snob. Their gravy is the best I've ever had. Chicken fried steak was crispy and delicious. Soooooo much food! We shared and were both stuffed. Fresh pressed juices were incredible! Parking is easy. Order at the counter. Friendly and attentive staff. Casual and comfortable, there were signs for cocktails, also. read more

If you're looking for good sized portions, savory and delicious food that offers fresh squeezed juices, smoothies and coffee Mama's Egg house has you covered. You can find your spot to sit down (inside or out) and then you go inside and place your order and staff will bring out your food. Plenty of seating for big parties as well. By far one of the best chicken waffles I've ever had. Definitely has that southern taste and feel. And the waffle was made perfectly; chicken was crunchy with a sweet and savory taste. And to wash it down with a golden hour fresh juice. And if you have kids they have a changing station inside the bathroom. Highly recommended for food, ambiance, and overall a great restaurant. read more

While staying at Idyllwild my husband and kids decided to check out this place. Let me tell you it didn't disappoint. The French Toast was delicious including the bacon.

I highly recommend this place and I will definitely be going back. read more

Had to wait in line for approximately 25-30 mins, but it was definitely worth the wait. Not to mention, after ordering, our food came out within 15 minutes and was fresh and delicious!! The price is a little steep, but when you see the delicious food and how this place is a well oiled machine it all makes sense! YAYs: Mixed berry smoothie- so tasty. I added peanut butter. It's a little watery for a smoothie, but incredibly fresh. Steak and egg burrito- Dayumm. This thing could serve as breakfast, lunch, and dinner it's so big! Sooo tasty. The meat was plentiful and tender, eggs and potatoes were perfectly cooked. Personally think it could've used more veggies to round it out, but great burrito. Waffle and Eggs- these were good, pretty standard. Not much to write home about in terms of waffle, BUT, my hubby requested the birria special on the side instead of sausage ($5), and it was the star of the show. "best birria I've ever had" is the phrase he used! Can't wait to return on our next trip to Idyllwild!! read more

Mama's your "birria chilaquiles" were the best Ive ever had! My crush orange mimosa was wow! My partner in crime had your fried chicken and waffles. WOW WOW WOW!

You walk up and order. I made the mistake of grabbing a seat out on the patio and came back to order. The line was so long by the time I came back. Next time I'll stand there and order first. Prosciutto eggs Benedict is messy, the ham is stringy and of course I need a spoon to eat my eggs Benedict it's a whole production but I would order it again. I don't eat the English muffin and I couldn't finish all the prosciutto so that being said this dish will fill you up. Mama got their eggs just right, creamy delicious poached eggs. You can get it with a side of hashbrowns, cottage cheese, or fruit. I chose fruit, which was a mixture of grapes, pineapple, and watermelon. I just wish it was not brought to me in a plastic container. I got pretty cold out on the patio, but it was still such a nice day. They turned on the heat lamp for me so I was able to stay outside for a little bit. Too noisy to read but that's okay. My drink settled my gut nicely and others around me seemed to enjoy a green juice perhaps it was the Green goddess smoothie. I was craving Ginger so I had the golden hour juice which is orange, carrots, pineapple, and ginger. They have several vegan choices and even a vegan soda that sounds really good made out of elder flower and rose lemonade. Next time, if I'm craving something sweet, I will order the tiramisu French toast. It looked so good.! I will be back. read more

We tried out Mama's Egg House for breakfast while in Idyllwild. The spot had a cool aesthetic kind of like a mountain town diner. The menu has some cool options like omelettes, chilaquiles, etc.. We put our names in and were told 25 minutes. Came back 40 minutes later and were told 10 more, so the wait ended up being a bit longer than expected. Not a big deal just something to note. Once we got seated the service was fine but wasn't super accommodating. For example I asked to swap one veggie for another in my omelette and was told it would still be a full charge. Stuff like that just made it feel a bit rigid. My omelette was filling but pretty oily, hash browns felt underwhelming. My girlfriend felt the same, she thought hers was too oily and didn't really enjoy it. She didn't want to go back. To be fair the chilaquiles at the table next to us looked fun, so maybe we just didn't order the right thing. Still, for us, it wasn't a spot we'd return to. There are other breakfast options in Idyllwild that felt more fun and worth the stop. I'm sure there are folks who enjoy this place, but this was our experience. P.S. They said their orange juice was freshly squeezed in house, but I'd be pretty surprised if that were true based on how it tasted, we didn't like it at all. read more

Was in town for the weekend (first time in beautiful Idyllwild) and decided to try this local favorite for breakfast with my friend. She got the prosciutto benedict and I ordered the three egg breakfast plate w/ fruit for my side. I thought the eggs were a bit low quality, considering the name (was hoping for flavorful, rich orange colored egg yolks), but were cooked over medium perfectly and the sourdough toast was thick and delicious, and delish not too greasy bacon. The grapes in the mixed fruit were a bit old but Appreciated that it was minimal melon and also had watermelon and pineapple! My friends hashbrowns were crunchy and yummy and she seemed to enjoy her plate. Loved being able to enjoy on the patio that has plenty of shade and lots of seating along the other side of the restaurant too. Prices were a bit higher than I would've thought coming from LA, but perhaps due to the remote location. Next time I come, I'll have their French toast! read more

I hesitate posting this review since there are much bigger issues going on in the world right now. My buddy and I were not told when we walked in to order food at the counter. One of the workers told us to sit at any table outside, which we did. When we sat down, we were given menus and nothing was said. After waiting 15 minutes and nobody coming to our table l, we went to wait in line at the counter to order, which was another 10 minutes. After ordering, which now has been 25 minutes since we walked in, we asked the staff at the counter why we were told to sit and handed menus without being told anything, two workers "said" they told us to order inside and then said there are signs posted to order at the counter. My humble advice is to remind people walking in to order their food at the counter then find a table. To end on a positive note, the food is delicious and there are generous portions. read more
