Really nice place, with a very relaxed vibe and a menu that will make every egg lover happy. I opted for the American Skillet with sourdough toast and enjoyed every bite, it set me up for a great day ahead full of energy to tackle all the sightseeing. Janeth, my server, was lovely and suggested the sunny side up eggs with it, which was a spot on recommendation.

Eggs Brunch Place in Chicago is hands down one of the best breakfast spots I’ve been to! I visited with a friend, and we were both blown away by the quality and variety of the food. The dishes were flavorful, beautifully presented, and just what we needed to start the day right. The cozy atmosphere and friendly staff made the experience even better. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking to enjoy a top-notch breakfast in Chicago!

Fantastic breakfast place! We were walking from Navy Pier to the Art Institute and this was the perfect place inbetween to stop for breakfast. Would definitely recommend! Would return.

While the area might initially look more like a business district at first the main park is only a few steps away, so this is a handy restaurant especially for breakfast. The menu is huge and if you use the online option there’s useful photos to assist the difficult choice of only picking one dish! The service is fast and friendly and there’s plenty to admire in the clean decor with the tables not being too cramped. It’s a shame there weren’t any proactive offers of coffee refills but the portion sizes with the food was great for the price without being overbearing. I’d certainly return and it was one of the best breakfasts I had in the centre of the city during my stay, so I’d recommend as a start to the day before exploring round the park.

Cute and modern breakfast diner with a variety of food items on the menu. Portions for one dish can be shared upon 3 people. The chicken and waffles is pretty good; waffle was well made and the chicken was crispy. The meat lover crepe was very good. We also had the Egg’s Benedict and the fried chicken and biscuits.

Me and my friend got two different kinds of eggs Benedicts! They opted a more traditional kind with spinach and Hollandaise. I got the country Benedict- which is just biscuits and gravy with poached eggs and sausage patties arranged into a Benedict. I was nothing but impressed. The biscuits were fluffy, and the gravy was well seasoned. The thing that shocked me the most may have been the breakfast potatoes - they were crispy on the outside, and still fluffy inside. Amazing flavor and texture, all by themselves! I believe combined, we only spent around sixty dollars, all told, for two people, and left completely stuffed and if we weren't busy that day, there would have been leftover potatoes to bring! An amazing deal for downtown Chicago, as far as I can tell. The restaurant itself is a little crowded at full capacity, like it was on the Saturday I went- but we still managed to be seated and served quickly. Overall, I would absolutely go again, and would love if one of these was in my home city

We were seated quickly and our food arrived pretty fast. Might have to wait longer if you have a group but since it was just us two we didn’t have to wait at all. The food was good. My Colorado omelet and the pancake was bomb. Would’ve preferred hash browns or tots over the potato’s. Overall great experience and highly recommend.

We went to this place for my partner's birthday brunch and ordered the Puerco Picante Skillet, Eggy's Benedict with coffee and Irish coffee. The food came pretty quickly, and our server was nice! The portions were huge; if you don't eat a lot, two people can share one dish. The Eggs Benedict came with waffles and pulled pork, and the eggs were great. We really enjoyed the Puerco Picante Skillet - it had great spiciness levels. For his birthday, we chose a pancake as a side, which turned out to be one of the best birthday cakes ever! It was a good size, and he devoured it quickly. Both dishes left us with great leftovers for the next day. One thing to note is the parking situation. Finding parking was a bit challenging. There's an indoor parking lot where parking is free for up to two hours (possibly three hours) with a receipt from Mariano's - but you'll need to check. It's a great option if you can use it!
