“Great service and food!! It was nice, even having to wait 30 minutes for a table. They text you when you're up next, so you can go for a walk in the park and watch the dogs/puppies in the dog park and if you have kids there is a playground nearby in the park, too. They have gluten free options as well. The chicken and waffles were amazing!! Same with the orange juice!”
“Crowded for a good reason. Best breakfast I've had in the US so far. We came at 12:00 on a Saturday but didn't wait much as we were a small group. Mr. Eggy thank you for making gluten free pancakes, they're one of the best I've ever had. Portions are not huge for the price, but were just enough for us. Iced latte was pretty good too.”
“Came here for breakfast and it’s DIVINE, service is pretty nice and quick, we ordered 2 eggys benedict and they arrived in nothing more then 5 minutes, and it was delicious, we also ordered a side of bacon, though I prefer it more crunchy it was amazing, and the ambience is pretty cool too!!”
“We came for breakfast about 9:00am on a Thursday. It wasn’t overly crowded. The waitress was friendly. Our water glasses stayed full. We ordered omelets-the Colorado and the Country Omlet. I ordered fruit and it had watermelon, pineapple, and orange slice twisted and a few red grapes. I also ordered a side of turkey sausage. It was served as links. My husband ordered toast as his side. The omelets come with fried red potatoes. They are large and cut in half to fry. The food as not greasy. It was all delicious. We had water to drink. The atmosphere is nostalgic of Chicago with photographs and drawing of Chicago on the wall. The restrooms were clean.”
“A hidden Gem. Delicious and satisfying. I happened across Eggy’s while walking to Wildberry and seeing it packed with people waiting outside, knew it must be good. I took a seat at the bar and went with the server’s recommendation of Chilaquiles. It did not disappoint although I’ll add an extra egg next time. Great service and everything that came out looked amazing. I wish I’d taken a picture of the French Toast con Leche the girl next to me ordered. It looked Devine.”
“Regresamos después de 14 años; me da mucho gusto ver que sigue igual o mejor. Que el servicio y la calidad siguen siendo lo que recuerdo. Además su personal, en especial Jason dan ese toque que hace querer regresar… atento, siempre buscando darnos el mejor servicio y de manera natural. Un most en su vista a Chicago, no se arrepentirán.”
“Absolutely amazing. Only thing better than the vibes are how good the food tastes. The Al Pastor Skillet is a must try for anyone looking for a hardy and flavor filled breakfast.”
“I’m visiting from England so always look for an authentic US breakfast experience. Eggys was perfect! Friendly service and atmosphere. Great choices and big portions. I enjoyed the huge country omelette with a fluffy pancake on the side.”
“We loved this diner for brunch on a Monday. The diner is open until 3pm. They have an extensive meanie to accommodate breakfast thru lunch and offer some cocktails too. No waiting on weekdays, I don't know about weekends. Quality ingredients.equal.tasty dishes. Highly recommend at their tucked away diner in the par on the new Eastside neighborhood.”
“Amazing food. I will definitely come back and eat again an omelette🧡”
