    Found Eggspectation while trying to find a new place to eat. It was 1 hour from our house and well worth the trip. This is a very busy restaurant. We waited about 15 minutes for a table, which was a reasonable wait time given they were slammed with customers. My husband had the Bayou Benedict and I had the Shrimp and Grits. We were both very pleased with our breakfasts. Our breakfasts were delicious, hot and perfectly prepared. The atmosphere is very lively and inviting. The entire staff is attentive and courteous. We were very impressed and look forward to returning.

    Great place for brunch, and I love that the classics are mixed in with the new. Interior is refreshed and bright. Even with the music a bit loud, we were able to have a conversation. The operation was perfectly on point with the order, speed, and the team was busy yet attentive & helpful. Other spots have a unique thing or two, but this restaurant has high marks for being it all and +awesome! Absolutely my new go-to!

    My fiance and I were in town for a wedding and love a good brunch joint. This place did not disappoint. We ordered an omelet, a side of biscuits and gravy, and stuffed French toast. Everything was delicious, especially the french toast! The staff and atmosphere were great. I also really enjoyed the instrumental 90s R&B tunes playing. 10/10 would recommend.

    Amazing. I love this place, the food and drinks are amazing. I recommend the pancakes, they are so fluffy! The Shrimp and Grits were so good. They have a wide selection to choose from for breakfast and lunch. The light fixtures and ambiance is so beautiful. The service was great as well. Opened everyday from 6:00 am to 4:00 pm. So convenient. You will not be disappointed.

    Great food. Server was very polite. Menu is somewhat boring. Appreciated the mimosa flight! That was the highlight. Nice presentation. Hostess were standoff. But Server made up for that. Drinks came out slowly as well as food but good value for price paid.

    Had brunch here on Mother's Day, so a packed place was expected. Once you're on their waitlist, you get an online counter that tells your place in line to be seated. Overall, our server and service was really amazing, food came relatively fast, and most importantly, everyone loved the food! Plenty of seating, and everything seemed to be running smoothly in spite of the crowd. We definitely want to go back and try other items there.

    Our first time at Jam and it was delicious. It's noisy and expect to wait to be seated on a Sunday. Wait was 30 minutes. Our server was great. I ordered the chicken and shrimp pasta and hubby got french toast. Nice portions of food. Don't forget the dessert. Take a look in the glass dessert case near the front door. Yummy 🤤

    The food was delicious and the service was top notch. The shrimp and grits were excellent and the coconut cream french toast was awesome. The French toast wasn't too sweet, it was just right. I also ordered the lobster macaroni and cheese to take home and that also was a hit!

    This is my second time here, and honestly, the service, food, and atmosphere is top notch on both occasions. The last time I was here, I had the Spanish coffee and country style scramble. Both were phenomenal, and the service was exceptional. Today (Dec 7 - birthday 🎂), we had the cornbeef hash, Bayou Benedict, and Brandy Alexander (spiked coffee), absolutely exquisite, mix of flavor profiles for the food and drinks. Victoria, our server, was very attentive, patient, and polite. Tito, the GM, went the extra mile to check on us and even comp us with cards for smoothies for our next visit. He also got me a birthday waffle, seeing as though it was my birthday. All to say, I will be returning to try more food items here at JAM Eateries.

    Food is delicious and they have a large menu. The fresh squeezed juices are great. The service was great as well. The mimosa flight was just okay, I only liked the blueberry/blackberry mimosas.

    Came with friends for brunch. Service was timely and our server was kind and attentive. Our drinks were delicious, I had to pace myself so I didn't finish my melon juice in seconds. The wait for food was a little long but we figured it would be since they were packed! We sat near the kitchen and could see the chefs getting orders by the dozens when they already had 20+ orders being worked on. We didn't mind the wait and just had a good time chatting and catching up with each other. When the food came out, it was hot and yummy. No one had any complaints and everyone enjoyed their dishes. I'd love to come back next time and try their dinner entrees. Atmosphere was nice, but very loud. Kids were taking turns crying around the store but you expect this sort of thing at a family friendly establishment. Decor was modern and clean with natural light running through most of the rooms. Would recommend this place to anyone wanting to eat out for brunch.

    This was my first time visiting since the eatery became JAM. I had such a great time with my friend. The environment was lovely. The food was great. The service was great quality. I would recommend the mimosa flight if you are into it! The lox bagel was delicious. I was so pleasantly surprised by the fresh pressed juices and smoothies options!!! They were great and I now have a go to spot to pick up those treats! I would recommend a trip here if you're in the area and looking for brunch or lunch options. My server was Felipe and he was absolutely amazing!!

    There is wait for being seated but food is fine. Their food presentation is nice, although maybe not that healthy :) All that fried stuff and eggs and cholesterol and fatty stuff.... straight appointment to the cardiologist :) So eat wisely.

    Very nice brunch place. The food was on the salty side - kind of typical of American food, though :) Our server was very kind and welcoming. The "vibe" was fun, too!

    If you visit on the weekend plan to wait about 30-40 mins. This location is new, I like the black and white themed decor. It is bright and airy. The staff was pleasant and our server was friendly and very knowledgeable. There were plenty of food options and the food was well plated and tasty. I had one of the omelette and the potatoes were soft yet crispy. I will definitely be back.

    The Good: The staff was simply amazing. They went above and beyond for a table of ten with no prior reservation or notice of any kind. They were probably annoyed, but they stayed hospitable and provided excellent service. The menu had plenty to choose from, and I settled for the Western Burger and fries, which were both fulfilling and delicious. The foods presentation was professional, and it all came out looking appetizing. Everyone that I was with (9 others in total) all enjoyed the service and the food, as well. The restaurant itself was clean, spacious, a great and relaxing atmosphere with good music in the background. With how great everything was, the price was reasonable. The Bad: Nothing comes to mind. Judgment: 5 Stars: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ They get five stars for going above and beyond for providing excellent service and food for a table of ten on such short notice. Awesome job, y'all!

    Clean, open space, friendly service and delicious food. Breakfast selection was great with several non- pork and vegan options. $23 for short rib hash, toast and hot tea. A little pricey but I had enough to take home for a 2nd meal.

    Such an amazing place and great customer experience. My friend and I literally wanted to buy everything on the menu. The food is so fresh and there is an array of options when it comes to food and drinks. The island mimosa and Irish coffee were to die for. Definitely will make the drive again from NYC just for there food.

    Very good food, I have been here 3 times now and it’s become one of my favorites. The line usually looks long (out the first door) but I have never had a wait time. The first time I ate here I got the strawberry crepes, which disappointed me. They were cold and chewy and reminded me of a sponge. I traded my plate with a friend and tried the BALT, which was AMAZING. My second time here I tried the croissant french toast, which is amazing. Service is always wonderful.

  • 5/5 Faith Maya O. 5 months ago on Google
    Came here for the first time yesterday for brunch and the food was really good! Service was great as well, I really liked our server. I appreciated that as a party of 8, they were able to split our bills so we each paid for our own food. Plenty of parking, with outside seating. I got the stuffed French toast with scrambled eggs on the side and I added fruit (bananas, strawberries and blueberries) to it as well. I got orange juice and I tried a friend’s crab dip, I loved the presentation for that, in the bread bowl! So cute. They do automatic gratuity for large groups (as most restaurants do). And it was packed! They are very popular, and I will say it is well deserved. Try to make a reservation, so you don’t have a long wait! Prices are actually pretty low! I paid $32 for everything I got including the automatic gratuity and tax. They have a drinks menu with things like seasonal offerings (spiked apple cider etc), and spiked coffee among other things. Near the front is a dessert case with a lot of tasty looking things. My French toast was pretty sweet so I didn’t need to grab any more dessert but it looked delicious! Lots of big windows and natural light. There is something on the menu for everyone, whether it’s toast, eggs Benedict, seafood, sandwiches, omelettes you name it! Overall, I would recommend and would visit again.

    Tried this place for the first time today. Loved it. So many food options. So many drink options. Friendly staff! Clean establishment! Clean bathrooms and plenty of parking. Decent prices. I will say this place is popular so get your party on the wait list before arriving. Wait list is also nice because it shows how many are ahead of you and then they text you when your table is ready. If you like mimosas try their mimosa sampler flight! All were tasty! I'll definitely be back to try some more!

    1st visit, the food was so good. Will return soon, looking forward to trying another dish. I had a mimosa for the 1st time-will definitely return. Overall, good experience. I've been in Maryland for almost 3 months and loving it❣️

    Everything was AMAZING!!! Eggspectation was highly recommended & exceeded my expectations! We only had a 20 minute wait & the food came really fast. The service was wonderful & they were very, very attentive. The delicious firecracker shrimp, creamy cheesy grits, fried green tomatoes, bacon, potatoes, Mimosa’s, banana pudding and a Mimosa Flight are pictured. The manager pictured continually checked on us immediately rectifying the only issue we had with our order & he also made us laugh. Great food, great people! I will be back.

  • 5/5 Christian M. 1 year ago on Google
    Really good place to eat at! I was in the mood for a waffle and breakfast platter kind of brunch and found this place! Looked like a market/restaurant fusion mixed place, staff were kind and friendly, waiter serving me and waiters/waitresses serving others were very attentive as well. Understanding how busy they were, it was enlightening to see that the waiter serving me and my date greeted us with a nice smile and did his job smoothly. In the photo we had a Classic Waffle (Belgian waffle with powdered sugar) and "Eggsuberant" i believe that dish was called. We asked for blueberries and chocolate chip toppings and it was a nice touch. They also service lunch and dinner type foods as well! Give it a go! 👍

    This place was such a delightful experience!!!! The devil eggs with pecans and bacon were a nice blend of sweet and savory. The chili lime wings had good flavors and was cooked well. The varieties of benedicts was such a creative spin! The bar staff were delightful eventhough they were really busy. I will definitely return to this restaurant.

    I came with family for breakfast, and I must say it was an incredible experience. Our waitress and all who attended to us took such great care to ensure we enjoyed our food and time in the restaurant. It's bright and spacious. The food came out quickly. The staff made wonderful recommendations! Truly a wonderful place, and I highly recommend it!

  • 5/5 Paige B. 9 months ago on Google
    Large space with a huge menu! We got a couple different kinds of Benedict (Bayou and Fried Chicken) and they were both so good and the portions were too big to eat. We'll definitely be back!! 8 min wait for a party of 2 at 2:30p on a Saturday.

  • 5/5 Vincent C �. 6 months ago on Google
    The service here was amazing. I really felt welcomed and they had an amazing ambiance to the eatery. I got steak and eggs and the steak was cooked perfect. The eggs were fluffy and I was able to add my own salt and pepper to get them to taste how I make them at home. The potato’s were good too.

  • 5/5 Char A. 1 year ago on Google
    I absolutely love expectations. Their food is amazing, their drinks are creative. I'm very sad that I never was able to try their outrageous bloody Mary while I lived in Maryland. I typically get the short rib benedict which is awesome and flavorful and I usually get the flights of mimosas. The wait is kind of outrageous so just make sure you get there early.

  • 5/5 Ashley Elizabeth E. 5 months ago on Google
    Loved the experience here. Food was amazing! Would get it again for sure. Just be prepared to wait. We got lucky and were seated when we arrived, but when we left, there was definitely going to be a wait time.

  • 4/5 Kiara G. 1 year ago on Google
    The food was amazing. We had the mimosa flights. They were so cute and tasty. I also had the breakfast tacos. This has become our favorite breakfast spot. The only problem was the 1.5 wait.

  • 3/5 Janet H. 2 years ago on Google
    We were there several years ago and it was eggcellent but this time it was just ok. Coffee was a little bitter. Later when I asked for decaf, it came lukewarm. They did offer to brew a new pot but it had taken a long time to get the first one so I declined. Turkey bacon was very soft. They did bring a new order at no cost that was crispier. Pancakes were very good. Fresh squeezed orange juice was excellent.

    Delicious breakfast and great service!! Huge thank you to our server Natalia for the great experience. Loved those strawberry shortcake pancakes she recommended! My family had a great time. We’ll definitely be back!
