We went in with a large group on a Sunday morning so I thought we would have a long wait but we did not! We were seated quickly, server was nice and friendly, and the food came quickly. I had the breakfast tacos and I thought they were very good! It reminded me of my Mom's breakfast meals!!
I like this place! It's our go to when we visit the Windy City. interior is a little rough. Might suggest smaller portion size with the savings going to sprucing up the decor. Wait staff is always on point! Friendly and fast.
Positives: I never have to go there again. Negatives: - Took a solid 10 minutes to be acknowledged by our server. - Took nearly 30 minutes for one plate of food to arrive with no communication from anyone in between. - Cashier didn't have any change and simply shrugged...making no attempt to get some.
Food is delicious. Huge portion sizes. Wait for food was a bit long, but the waitress did warn us as we ordered.
Very slow service with Not much customers. Large amount food, however flavor lacking.
Very very slow service. My scrambled eggs and toast were burnt and inedible. They were nice enough the comp. our check when I complained about the food.
Nice food! Definitely coming back, this place is my favorite for breakfast in Chicago.
Service was slow, food ended up costing me way more than its worth and the coffee was disgusting
So the presentation and taste of the food was rather delicious but the fact that the toilet seat moved set back my eggsperience. I give the facilities 3 stars. You can drop a deuce here if you have too but I wouldn't recommend planning on it.
The place was pretty packed for a Saturday morning, which should be expected. We sat at the bar and ordered food there. A lady who came in after us got her food before us. The server lied to me and said my order was in when he clearly forgot. We didn't even get the food until she had already finished and left. The waiter guy was all over the place and unorganized but very polite. The food was good but service is meh.
Great staff and the food was delicious.
We had a long layover and stopped in the city to see a friend. This spot was packed on a Saturday around 12pm but they had quick and friendly service. Their pancakes were very good.
They only serve breakfast but the portions could be lunch as well as theyre generous with the portions, very attentive staff that made sure I had everything I needed. wide varieté of options, I had the Chorizo omelette with side of hashbrowns.
Big portions, great menu
Not great, not bad. Really big portions over plating and quality. Get there early,or WAIT
Was in town for a bachelor party, we decided to try this place. The food, when it finally came out was good except for one in our party that received approximately a quarter of an egg shell spread throughout his meal. Another table also received their food before ours even after arriving approximately 20 minutes after us. The waitress was terrible. Would not split our bill, said she could not. Told us she would get the manager and never did. I would avoid this one if you can.
Fairly run of the mill breakfast spot; high cost for what you get; service kind of spotty
Amazing place for breakfast and reasonably priced!
Good tasting pancakes and syrup. The egg scrambles was a generous portion which I was unable to finish. Peach smoked bacon was good too. I got there at 7:30 am on a Tuesday and was the only one there and food came out fast.
Good food good service. Was visiting from out of town. Got service pretty quick even on a Saturday
Great portions. Good quality.
A must visit breakfast stop for me everytime I visit Chicago. It's usually pretty busy, but I've never waited longer than 20 minutes. They offer a variety of egg related dishes, with options for vegetairans as well. The Tommy Boy skillet is a favorite amongst me friend group for it's hangover curing properties*. The coffee is decent as well. * Tommy boy skillet will not actually sure hangover, stay hydrated.
Simply delicious and reasonably priced. They were a little overwhelmed (Thanksgiving morning) so service was a little slow, but overall I was very happy with the experience.
I completely recommend this place for breakfast! Awesome food, reasonable prices and great service.
This is the Bad Place.
Best steak skillet I've ever had! And our waitress was amazing! I'm definitely coming back to experience more on the menu
Food is delicious, especially the bacon. Pancakes and bacon were great
Loved it. Server was courtious, food was fast served. And delicious.
Food was amazing. Large portion reasonably priced and EXCEPTIONAL service. Thank you for a wonderful breakfast!!
I had a wonderful server/waiter.
Casual breakfast restaurant; great services
The food was quit ok but not fantastic. Friendly and helpful stuff. Really “American” place.
Worst service ever and the meal not great
The food is usually very good. Had a bad experience with a waiter and the food was so-so this last time.
Love the food, great service. We happened across it whle out walking. I would most definitely go back again and again.
What an amazing meal and service!
Good food and plenty of it.
Nice place we only ordered a basic breakfast (eggs Bacon and sausage ) but my breakfast had a hair in it and when mentioned to my waiter he only said oh and took my plate and never brought it back with food so I basically paid for something I didn't eat. Again my first time so I can't say it's a bad place to go. I didn't complain we just paid and took off.
They had really nice breakfast. Our server was very attentive anf friendly. I will definitely comeback.
Came here after getting two independent recommendations and my oh my had it earned them. I had a triple crown waffle with strawberries, blueberries, and granola. So good I had to go back the next weekend taking a friend. I still dream about that breakfast. The staff were nice enough to remember me the second time too.
Delicious crepes. Fast, friendly service. Surprised that there was no wait at 8:45 on a Saturday morning.
Plentiful portions, great variety of options on the menu, moderately priced, clean and friendly atmosphere, wide open dining room design, cute decor, good service, clean restrooms. Service is a bit on the slow side, nobody came to check on me as I was eating, the waiting staff seems to have a hard time organizing themselves. However, the food I ordered (chilaquiles with scrambled eggs) was good, it tasted fresh and I felt like it was worth my money's worth. Only open for lunch and breakfast. Unlike other restaurants in the area, it doesn't seem to get crazy busy and crowded at lunch time.
I was extremely happy with the GF menu. It’s amazing to find GF options for pancakes and Waffles. The atmosphere is casual and all the food arrived quick
This place is the best for breakfast awesome pancakes the best ive ever had and omelettes and the service is amazing. Definately worth your money and time highly recommended
You get what you pay for here. Food is not super expensive and quality is not over the top but a good spot to go to when you have a breakfast need and all other better brunch spots are closed. Also the hot chocolate is very watery, don't get it.
A very good breakfast. Even though the cafe was completely filled out, we didn't have to wait for our food much longrr than 15min. The portions were big and the food was very tasty.
Good food, bad service. They were not prepared or they were unwilling to serve us properly
Great food and awesome service. Manager went over and above to take care of an issue out table had.
Lot of options on the menu to choose from. Nice friendly staff.
Food comes out slow but good
Terrible services, over prices for average tasting foods
Great tasting food, it came out super fast, and the prices were decent.
Arrived on Sunday at around 9am. Short queue and got seated quickly. Great service. Friendly waitresses. More importantly, the blueberry pancakes are delicious and nicely presented!
Great food but kinda pricey for what you get
Served us grapefruit juice that had gone bad. The shrivelled end of the cucumber. Gross. Gluten free pancakes had no flavour and the maple syrup was watered down. Food was bad. Service was good but still this place should be avoided. Try Beatrix down the street for breakfast
Quick and easy go-to for breakfast/brunch downtown. Even on the busy mornings and weekends I have never had to wait longer than 5min for a table.
I could eat breakfast here everyday! My waitress was the sweetest and the food was great and extremely plentiful!
Had a great experience with Eggsperience (no pun intended). It was a cold and cloudy day. The timing was perfect for some brunch. We got there and it was busy. We were seated in a booth and immediately got served hot coffee. After ordering, we expected a longer wait but was pleasantly surprised to get our food in a jiffy. Apparently, things got busier in the summer. The food was great. Not mind-blowing but was perfectly portioned. The entree was not too savory and the blueberry crepe has just a hint of sweetness. Just how I like it. Overall, I would recommend the place. Great for brunch. Prices are not that high and the atmosphere is cozy.
I loved my waiter in this place! The food was really good as well. I had the omelette and my friend had one of the eggs benedict which she really enjoyed. Also ordered the banana bread french toast which was pretty damn amazing! I must visit if you're in the city
Southern style eggs benedict - absolutely delicious
family meals and the setting at this location is great. i like it here always quality food & service. i will be back with my relatives. it has a nice atmosphere.
The food was great and at a reasonable cost. The staff were friendly and attentive.
It was freezing in the establishment. Ordered a skillet, potatoes were under cooked. It was like biting into an apple. When they brought the replacement meal, they forgot the eggs on the skillet. The skillet comes with a side of toast, they brought us two slices of untoasted bread. The family next to us, was having the same bad "eggsperience" we were.
Big dishes, but with a lot of fat
Friendly servers, great food, and the food reaches the table incredibly fast.
I Eggsperience The Best Service Today Came In With Family Atmosphere Was Pleasant Food Was Delicious My Server Was Deigah She Was Great And Her Helper Leo Was Kind An Funny
Good food and excellent service!
The crepes were amazing!
Family Meals and the feeling here is quality. Got there about one, it wasn't busy. The service was sociable and attentive. Prices are appropriate for the quality. Food is like a place in Baltimore I loved.
The food was great, reasonably priced, and was served very quickly. Our waitress was probably the best server we've ever had. I mean EVER! I definitely recommend going there for breakfast.
Great brunch...I went with a large corporate party. Most of our food was perfect. Good pricing but staff was not the friendliest or the fastest. Overall I would visit again.

Had a great time food is delicious thank you
Their menu is huge. We had a party of five and got in immediately with no wait on a Saturday morning at 8am. It started filling up a little more at about 9. It was a little hard to get the attention of our server for water refills, as she was working most, if not all, tables in the restaurant. Regardless, food came out really quickly. I had a wrap with bacon, cheddar, and scrambled eggs. It was delicious and I ended up having about a quarter of it leftover. They accommodated our vegan in the group by preparing hash browns, peppers, and onions sauteed in olive oil. My sons ordered the chocolate chip waffle and chocolate chip pancakes and....let me just say you would have to like eating full mouthfuls of melted chocolate to enjoy them. Luckily they do, but even they commented that it could have been a bit less. There was as much chocolate as there was pancake or waffle, and neither of them finished. The atmosphere is casual, open, light, and airy. Booths and tables are available. No reservations needed (I'm not even sure they take them). Great place for breakfast.
Very tasty breakfast spot. Very reasonably priced for downtown Chicago.
Had chicken and waffles benny's! Perfectly done, sweet, spicy, crunch and flavor!
Maybe it was the day, maybe it was the food choice, but this place should have nowhere near a 4.1 rating. I had the chicken n’ waffles bennie and my wife had the chicken n’ waffles. My Benedict poached eggs were hard boiled, the chicken was meh and the waffles were a lot like hotel waffle iron waffles. The hollandaise sauce was insufficient for the size of the meal, so I ended up dipping my Benedict in the carafe of syrup for my wife’s meal, which was actually alright. Oh, and the glass of milk I ordered was warm. Oh, and the waitress disappeared for about 20 minutes, other patrons who hadn’t received their food were asking other waiters/waitresses where the waitress for our section had gone, where was their food, etc. Oh, and the table next to us had two plates out and the 3rd and 4th plates were like 15 minutes behind the first two. The good stuff, the music they had playing was fun, the staff was friendly and the price is reasonable. I mean don’t get me wrong, we definitely overpaid for what we got, but it would have been reasonable if the food had been decent. Enough time spent in/on Eggsperience Cafe. Moving along.
Great breakfast food. Eva our waitress was very friendly and gave great service.
I've been to Eggsperiance several times and the food is always great but can I just say that Jesus S is one of the best servers I've ever had. He was nice, friendly and helpful. He really embodied what great customer service is. He's like a whirlwind going from one task to the next but always spared a second to check on us. Thanks for the great breakfast and service!
Took forever to get acknowledged by server. Their espresso machine was broken so none of their coffee except for the regular brewed coffee was available. Their menu said "freshly squeezed ice cold juice"...meanwhile I saw the server pouring the juice out of a "Pom Wonderful" bottle. And the "mango orange" juice definitely didn't taste freshly squeezed either. Nor were neither of them "ice cold"...room temp at best. Took forever to get our food (place wasn't full or super busy) and the food was just ok. We were never asked how our food was. Never asked if we wanted anything else. Waited at least 15 minutes after we were completely done eating with our plates stacked before getting up and asking for our bil. I asked the server if she had forgotten about us and she just smugly said; "Oh I didn't forget about you guys." Somehow that answer made things worse for me! I've never not tipped before...there's a first time for everything...I definitely did not leave a tip this time. On top of all of that, their AC "was broken", so it was pretty hot in there. I get that might be out of their control, but the only way I found out it was broken is overhearing one of the other patrons talking about it after asking. When these things happen (along with having a broken espresso machine for example) an establishment should be proactive about it and let their customers know and give them the option of still dining with them vs. not. You don't just hope and pray everything goes well. Needless to say, I would recommend you go elsewhere for breakfast when in town. You'll be glad you did!
We had breakfast and the food was good. Our server was friendly. The hostess need to be trained on making customers feel welcome. Walking fast to toss our menus on the table and walking away before we even get to the table is poor service to me. The hostess set the atmosphere when customers come into a restaurant.
My go-to breakfast and brunch place! Always delicious and great service.
Great breakfast. Will always come back when in Chicago
A good choice for breakfast or lunch with a wide array of choices of crepes, omelettes and skillets.
Food was good, service was good.
Soo much good and really tasty
We waited over 10 minutes for a waitress to even get us drinks. Another near 15 minutes to get the drinks. And over 30 minutes to get our food. During that time, the waitress not ONCE came to check on our drinks or get refills or an update on our food. In fact, she didnt once the entire time during our trip. When we got our food, it was luke warm and the hash browns were cold. I asked for salsa and hot sauce and only got the salsa. She didnt come back up once after to even ask for the hot sauce again. Fast forward another 30 minutes waiting after eating to get our check. She checked on other tables often and it was hard to get our check to pay. By far the worst experience we had dining on our vacation to Chicago.
Great food and decent service
Good food great service huge portions
The first time I came here the food was good but the service sucked. I gave it a second chance and everything was awesome. My server Martha A was great!
Excellent food and service
It's so wonderful to have a decent breakfast. Those quesadillas were so good and so hearty. And the place is so quaint and peaceful; service was good as well.
Nice staff, service and food great
Eggs were excellent-- not much of a surprise there! A wonderful breakfast spot!
Good breakfast selection, decently priced
My favourite breakfast.
Quiet, which is so hard to find. Good diner breakfast. I drink tea rather than coffee, and their English Breakfast comes loose leaf brewed in a good-size pot with very hot water. Awesome! I went two weekdays in a row, in early afternoon. Not very busy. Service was night and day. The first day's waiter gave immaculate, faultless, prompt, accurate service. Big tip-worthy. The second day, I had trouble getting someone to come to my table. After finally taking my order, the waiter had to come back and ask what I said. (The order kiosk was about 20 ft. away.) From then on, I had to ask for everything twice, or ask once and wait awhile. My pancakes came out at a different time than my eggs, etc. By the time I asked about them (I was almost done with eggs, which would have been OK because pancakes were dessert), they had been under the heat lamp so long I could barely touch the plate and the top pancake was hard. (which was OK, because I only wanted one, so I ate the bottom one.) Both waiters were really pleasant and friendly. I just think the second one might be in the wrong line of work. I felt like I had to do almost as much work as he did to get my breakfast. Five stars first day, three stars second, for an average of four. Maybe I'll go back and see which is more typical.
Amazing food and great service!
Atmosphere was great. Service was good. Food was adequate. Prices were decent. The only reason I give them four stars is because of some discrepancies between the menu and what actually came out. For instance, the “fresh squeezed” orange juice was definitely not fresh squeezed. The “caramelized apples” on the pancakes were definitely not caramelized (see photos). Rather, it was just a caramel glaze. We respectfully asked our waitress about this, who kind of jokingly said, “yeah, some of the menu is a bit of an exaggeration.”
Liked this restaurant, but this last visit, food was bland, not exciting at all. Breakfast place and no strawberry jelly--they weren't out, don't offer it. Won't go back.
Eggsperience Cafe is a very tasty restaurant with great prices. I recommend smoothies. They're delicious! My issue here is that they aren't careful about mixing your food with someone else's. Both times I've been here I've told the server that I'm vegetarian, and both times I've found chunks of meat in my food that wasn't even supposed to have meat to begin with. I understand that this is not the waiter's fault at all!
Waited 40 mins for food. The eggs were cold and poached eggs were hard. Dirty plates piled up. Maybe just a bad day.
Service great, food as far as I can tell was awesome. Had a Greek yogurt waffle with strawberries, blue berries, banana and honey. Delicious. No WiFi though
Good diner. If you’re not expecting to be blown away and just want a good breakfast. This your place.
It is a huge place. The service was mediocre
This place is awfully underrated. The prices are okay but the portions are huge. Food was DELICIOUS. Fast friendly service. No wait at 10am on a Saturday.
Came here with my boyfriend waitress was a young lady was so mean and had a bad attitude. She asked if we were done like 3 times wouldn’t even let us enjoy the food. Overall place is nice food is good this waitress was nasty!!!!
Great food, highly recommended!
Quick service, noice food.
Best bfast place in the city!
Fast, clean and tastey food. There is something for everyone. Wish scrabble eggs were less runny but overall great!
Sat for 15 minutes before a server even said hello, we ordered right away- coffee and our meals. Water didn't come for another 5 minutes. 15 minutes later we still had no coffee and the place was empty so it wasn't due to it beening packed. Ended up just leaving. Used to love this place not sure what happened..
Hearty breakfast and unlimited coffee. Good service. Wish the potatoes in Skillet breakfast was more well cooked.
Fantastic service and delicious food! Best omelette I've ever had!
Fast, clean and tastey food. There is something for everyone. Wish scrabble eggs were less runny but overall great!
I have one thing to say YUMMY
Huge portions! Fast service, great taste
Horrible service from the start. Our waiter Haze.could care less we were sat at the table. His personal etiquette was horrible. He did not get our order correct. He substituted as he felt needed instead of asking the customer. Food was NOT hot. Very bad experience we will not returning!!
Great breakfast! Chorizo frittata, fresh OJ, buttermilk pancakes hot maple sensational!
Nice waiter but marginal service Food ok
We have been here several times while travelling to Chicago. The food has always been good. The service is typically ok, but today they put us on the "pay me no mind list". It took way to long to get acknowledged by the server. It was to the point that we almost walked out. They were not busy. Hopefully this wad just an anomoly.
Family Meals and service at this place is excellent. Do yourself a favor and give this place a try. Service is consistently great. The place has a nice feel to it.
Best chicken and waffles ever. The gravy was spicy, but amazing.
Nothing bad, nothing good. Standard breakfast experience.
Good food and good service every visit. Vasil served us twice now, and did a great job serving us. Its often hard to find such attentive service in such a reasonably priced place, but not so here.
Nice place. Amazing pancakes!
Excellent food very nice sweet waiter
These guys are Eggsperts in breakfast. I ordered the meat lovers Skillet and it was great. They even have these really cool coffee cups. The server was quick on the money on point. The food was not expensive but tasted very well and if I am ever in the area again I would definitely go back and I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great breakfast anytime of day. But of course parking is an issue so be prepared.
We had an excellent server who entertained us with puns while providing truly great service. Wasn't overbearing, gave us enough time to check the menu, answered questions, and updated us throughout the wait. It didn't take long to get our food. I ordered the waffle with Greek yogurt on top and it was fantastic. The yogurt was Soo rich and creamy with a dollop of honey and that all complimented the waffle so well. Definitely should have had two meals from that but nope, ate it all up. Considering the size of the helpings and the location the price was moderate. My boyfriend thoroughly enjoyed his chorizo breakfast as well.
Wow! Staff was super-friendly, and portions were HUGE! I tried to order 1 scrambled egg and 1 sausage (draft that diet I'm on!), but I got a huge plate of eggs and 3 sausages!!! I had leftovers for the next day or two! The place has delightful ambience. I highly recommend it!
EXCELLENT!!! Service. Food was GREAT
Good breakfast food and excellent service. I told them I was in a bit of a rush and the order came out almost instantaneously. Delicious chorizo omelet, great corned beef hash, loose leaf tea. I highly recommend this place.
I'm not sure how this place has earned 4.5 stars. Coffee was not great, no freshly squeezed orange juice, eggs Benedict had tasteless sauce on a stale muffin. At least it was mostly edible. Not a patch on Wildberry Cafe down the street.
The food was incredible and Jesus the server was awesome
The food was ok. The staff could be friendlier. This resturant feels like it's trying to be fancy and missing the mark in every way possible. Asked for a soda that I never received.
Waiters are very quick, polite and friendly. We had breakfast several times there and it enjoyed it all the time. Highly recommend it!
A little expensive, but the service is just wonderful. They really try to make you feel at home, always greet you with a smile and a friendly word. The food is always delicious and timely. Love it!
It took a long time for food to get here. It was delicious though
Food was great, but the restaurant was freezing. Most customers were kept on their winter coats. It was almost unbearable.
A good place with kids, pancakes are delicious
Good food. Excellent service. Our waitress went out of her way to make sure we had everything we needed and then some. We weren't sure if she was for real at first, but realized throughout the meal that she really was genuine.
Great breakfast. Omelets good.
Bella, our waitress, was on point!...good spot for breakfast very near our hotel...very inexpensive...no crowd at all...will come back here again!
Great food, but it’s a bit chilly inside. So make sure you leave your coat on.
Good food reasonably priced
This restaurant and location is by far the BEST dining experience I have ever had in Chicago. We were greeted by every single person we had an interaction with, everyone had a smile and everyone just seemed very happy to be there. We had Katerina as our waitress and she definitely made our experience very enjoyable! Definitely looking forward to coming back! By the way, the house made green sauce is phenomenal!
Damn that was good, fro fly super attentive sevice witha simle. Cannot speak of it highly enough. Will be back when I get a chance
My favorite
A great place for good, classic breakfast fare. They do have lunch items as well. The service is great and quick. It's a spacious place with a good amount of seating. The prices are fair and it's well kept and clean. It is certainly worth a visit.
You'll leave full and satisfied
Red, Velvet, Pancakes. Yeah they have em. Dam right they were delicious. Their take on chilaquiles was not bad either, better than a lot of places in Texas. Great place to get your day started, highly recommend.
Nice breakfast place, many kind of dishes. The taste almost there, better then a lot around. For me it was too dry. Otherwise it was good, I recommand it!
Great scrambled egg choices.... wonderful service
Cute place. They did not have an oven working so I didn't get what I ordered. Switched to a skillet. Not impressed. Order the pancakes. Great service. Liked that there was lemon water on the tables.
Great food and fast service.
The food was great however, we did wait about 1 hour to receive it.
I j7st started work here
Best corned beef hash, ever!
The food was pretty good but our server was terrible. Luckily, one of the other servers was able to help.
Not a good experience for me and my family
