Will ALWAYS recommend Egg Harbor, regardless of which location. Spectacular experience every time. Love their food, drinks, and atmosphere. At my most recent visit we enjoyed the outdoor patio- relaxing, peaceful, and a nice time. Every time I go I get the iced brown sugar latte..SO YUM! Have tried a majority of the menu and haven’t had something I didn’t like. Cinnamon Roll pancakes are a fan fave of ours and the banana bread French toast we had for the first time was just as delicious. Give this place a try!! They also have a rewards program, so I have accumulated lots of money to go back towards a future bill. Love it!

The bright and spacious dining area exceeds the typical cafe experience. The food selections are numerous. The coffee is of robust quality and not watered down. We had the Salmon Toast and the Waffle combo. Later, we had the Turkey Club and Strawberry French Toast Many choices of cheeses and meat/meatless sides. All were mouthwatering delicious and presented appetizingly. The service all around was A. Like I said, this place is much more than the typical cafe. It was also nice that every table has a fresh carafe of water. We're looking forward to returning many more times. The food was so yummy

This is definitely going to become a go-to brunch spot for us. It’s a little pricier than your average diner, but surprisingly affordable compared to “trendier” brunch places. The place was understandably busy for a Saturday at noon, but we still had a party of 2 seated in 5 minutes without a reservation. Staff was all super nice. Some orders did get forgotten in the shuffle, but our server made sure to get them out to us ASAP. It’s a newer place so hiccups are bound to happen. Overall a lovely meal!

The dining, atmosphere and service was excellent in winter morning. We were able to teleconference and meet with clients ,others. The young children were pleased with their meals. We would appreciate discounts for military,veterans throughout the restaurant chain. Yes a great dining reference Egg Harbor Restaurant..

I am visiting from out of town and it is always a little difficult for me to find gluten free dinning. This place was so good we choose to eat here almost every morning. I would highly recommend this to anyone with celiac.

I love this franchise. It was the first time I was at this location and, same as the others, it was great. I'd love to come back in summer when the patio is open, it looked fantastic and spacious. We had the two breakfast specials the bibimbap and the red velvet. The bibimbap was delicious, it had something slightly spicy which I loved. The red velvet was extremely sweet for me, but of course my kid loved it.

Today I decided to take a walk around downtown Evanston. It was a bit early for the shops to be open so I stopped into Egg Harbor on a whim. The atmosphere is classic Americana. There's a nice bustling cacaphony of patrons enjoying their Saturday morning. A delicious aroma fills the air. I got seated immediately by the window and had someone taking my order within a few minutes. Coffee came after another minute and the food wasn't too far behind. Smells great and tastes as good! If you need a decent breakfast in downtown stop in. It's worth it.
