Great restaurant for families. The few times I've visited it has been fairly quiet. They offer kids menus with fun/entertaining activities and fun cups for the kids. The food itself wasn't bad but the kids definitely enjoyed their Mickey Mouse pancakes a lot more. I will say the last time I did take my friend's kids there, I felt a little uncomfortable. The male staff asked at least 3 times where the "dad" or "my husband" was even though I said it was just me and the kids. When our server (female) arrived she asked if our 4th person was coming to which I had to explain that we were not expecting anyone else and she apologized. Everything was smooth sailing from there.

I've been happily coming to Eggsperience for years, but today's service and food fell way short. There is one server who always wears an orange shirt. He is consistently fantastic and that is who we typically have. We did not have him today, and no one came to take our drink order for 10 minutes after we sat down until he said something to the floor staff. Our server did the bare minimum and once we got our food did not check on us again until was time to pay the check. Had he checked, he would have known the fried eggs I ordered medium were completely runny. The omelette my wife ordered was watery--probably from the veggies not being cooked properly. They have great juice blends, a good chicken Cesar salad, solid gluten free pancakes and decent French toast. If you're ordering from here, I'd stick with easy to prepare foods and get carry out. We typically always leave a nice tip, but their service was so poor our tip today had to reflect that. Too bad they aren't better considering the location.

I'm surprised I haven't left a review yet! I've been here at least a dozen times - it's an incredibly reliable breakfast restaurant in Lakeview East. It's always busy, but we've never had to wait to be seated. The service is fast and friendly.I can only vouch for their omelettes, but I've tried many of them - all of them amazing. And you have the option of making them with egg whites. You really can't go wrong here. They come with the option of 2 sides (I usually go with fruit cup and toast). The coffee and juice are great too.Overall, this place is stellar - good food at a good price with good service. I plan to keep coming!

I used to come here a hundred years ago when it was the Melrose, and it was open all night so that drunk people could come stumbling in for hash browns.It's nicer and cleaner now. And who doesn't like a breakfast place with an egg-pun name?As a fan of places that leave a thermal carafe of coffee on the table, I was pretty pleased to get a refill supply of both coffee and water to keep us hydrated. Especially helpful because it was super busy on a Sunday at noon.In fact, I didn't expect to be seated quickly since it was packed, but they got tables turned over surprisingly quickly. The bussers are carrying the show here.Chilequiles were the best thing ever... Till they weren't. I sincerely hope that someone who can fix it reads this review. There were a few chips that tasted of old oil at the bottom of the chilequiles. I desperately want better quality control here because they were so good otherwise, and I want to order it again. The chilequiles came with AMAZING black beans. Which is kind of sad because it's pretty obvious that the only thing that makes black beans AMAZING is lard. So. Not the healthiest meal. But worth it.The Fiesta salad was delightful all the way through. Nary a drop of rancid oil to be found. And probably no lard either.Both entrees were huge and filling portions. We probably should have just split one. Probably the salad. Service was fast and friendly, and we didn't feel rushed, even though they're clearly moving things along as quickly as possible. Everything is packed along this stretch of Broadway during the brunching hours. But at least here they have more tables than most places, and they know how to turn them over efficiently.

Going here was a great Eggsperience. The service was quick and there was no wait to get seated. The place itself was very clean and had a diner feel to it. As for the food, I ordered the butcher block omelette that came with two pancakes and a hash brown all for $15. To me this was a great price considering the generous portions. I would definitely come here again!

Solid breakfast option. Lots of items on the menu, fantastic pancakes and really great service. Plenty of seating, but this was Cubs off season and early February. I'm sure this place can get pretty busy. Would for sure eat here again!

This is a hard review to write, for this place has so much potential. We just moved near this spot and were hopeful even though the reviews on Yelp were mixed; it was mainly service. This is true. The main issue the entire time was reliability. I understand hostesses are young, but this woman was running around laughing and going in and out of the back, so many waiters then had to help out. Once seated, my server asked what drink I'd like right away. I told him and then he said, "wanna just order now?" I said let me wait. He said take your time. He was then gone for ten whole minutes. Many tables were open and tried to give him grace. I got the Broadway sandwich and added avocado. Flavor was nice with the chives and caramelized onion. The Yukon potatoes were amazing and seasoned perfectly. Sadly, my Diet Coke was empty for almost the entirety of the meal. I was done before he came back. I asked for one anyway. I then had to wait another 5-10 for the check. It was odd to see some people busting their butt and others cussing and goofing off. Food was nice. Maybe I'll try again a little later.

This afternoon was our second time there. Sasha (sp?) was an exceptional host & server. He was friendly, attentive & knowledgeable. The food (wow! Their pancakes with whipped cream) is delicious, but the service honestly makes it. We loved sitting outside but the whole place has an adorable, vintage diner feel. Thanks for taking great care of us, Sasha! We'll be back again soon!
