    Brunch was excellent! I had the Farmer's Market Benedict, and my date had the Spicy Chicken Burger. Both looked and tasted excellent. I'd also highly recommend the Bloody Mary. Just spicy enough, and as someone who is all about the garnish, a great spread! Service was quick and attentive, 10/10 will return!

    Had an awesome experience here. We were able to get in right away and didn't have to wait long for food. We had a very personable server as well. She was very attentive during a busy Friday morning. The food was fantastic. We always have a great experience @ Egg Harbor!

    Clean well run restaurant with excellent food and service. I had “the traditional” —>Delicious. Make sure you order the home made jelly. My wife had avocado toast—> loved it. The waitress made sure she understood allergy restrictions and provided excellent service.

    OMG Everything was perfect from the customer service to the food. They blew our socks off, 15 minutes from the kitchen closing and the food tasted like they just opened. It was beyond delicious. The pancakes and waffles are to die for.

    The food was 10/10, the plates are adorable, &i love the whole farmhouse theme in there! My server, Natalie, just made my experience that much better! She was super attentive, friendly, enthusiastic, &helped me make up my mind of what i wanted. She was the cherry on top &i cannot wait to come again. Definitely will be requesting Natalie’s section next time! She definitely helped my day start on the right foot :)

    Jackie was exemplary in her role at customer service! She took a challenging situation and completely turned it around with the sincerity and gracious attitude that is Second to none! Thank goodness for employees like Jackie. She definitely deserves accolades! Employees like her make customers come back to your business! Thanks again, Jackie! Outstanding Job!

    We have eaten there for many years, since in Town Square with delicious food and good service. However, the last few times the food has been less than the usual quality. Saturday, Oct 22,2023 , we were there around 12:30pm and May was our server. She never came back other than to give us our check. The food was less than desired. Door County Melt with chicken salad had no cheese and no flavor at all. Never tasted the apples, etc. The side salad was full of water and no dressing. When receiving our bill May was told about the water, her come back was" yeah, we're trying to figure out how to have less water". Never used to be served like that, and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure it out. No wonder the restaurant was not busy. Doubt we will be back, as it seems over months you have lost quality workers and food preparation/served. $38.00 for a plate of Sam's Swedish Pancakes with 2 eggs that were to be over medium but were runny, and the Door County Melt is outrageous.

    In between casual to little fancy brunch cafe! I enjoyed the food and the coffee here. The server was kind- but I guess it was pretty busy so that it took a little time to bring us the check. But I was satisfied with the food and the time spent here.

    Went for brunch with 4 adults and 2 toddlers. We were seated in about 15 minutes which was quick for a Sunday. Large menu and quick service, but the seating was a little cramped. Good was good overall. If we're in the area, we'd probably go back.

    Food is not good. I had a waffle and a side of bacon and it came cold. I never send food back so I tried eating my cold food. My brother had a skillet which he said was not tasty, it was bland. We will never return to this place.

    Egg Harbor is the perfect place to go for breakfast or brunch! They have a great menu to choose from (their omelets are soooo good!) and the servers are all very nice! I highly recommend Egg Harbor!!

    My family and I have been coming every Saturday for the last 2 years. We started coming with our 6 month old who loved the pumpkin pancakes. But we stayed for the staff. They have been so kind, accommodating and extremely caring. Not once have we had a bad experience. It became our family tradition. One we will miss since we are moving. But we have promised to come back because it is worth the 1 hour drive. Come here if you want a friendly staff and delicious breakfast. Highly recommend the bacado omelet, San Antonio skillet, or quite literally any of their griddle items!

    Egg Harbor was one of our favorite brunch places in college 10+ years ago and it’s still so good. The atmosphere is great. There is some great new stuff on the menu since we last went, like Shakshuka, plus classics like Cassie’s Crepes. My favorite part is the little ceramic coffee mugs, which are so cozy in either winter or air conditioning. Great for kids, too!

    Great place! Our waitress, Claudia was really nice and friendly. They have a great Gluten Free menu. The GF meal came out with a allergy sticker... Which is so reassuring for those who have allergies. We've never seen this at any other restaurant before. If you have Celiac, this is a great option!

    I ordered again and spoke to the manager, who made things right. Second order was excellent and fresh! Ordered through Door Dash this morning. Would give 5 stars IF MY STRAWBERRIES DIDN’T HAVE MOLD ON THEM. So of course I didn’t bother drinking the strawberry orange juice incase they used the same expired strawberries. All other food was delicious. Thankfully I didn’t see the mold until toward the end of meal otherwise we woulda wasted a $85 breakfast.

    I ordered the Matt's skillet with over easy eggs and a muffin. It was all amazing. The meats & potatoes were cooked perfect 😋 Nice atmosphere & our waiter was great.

  • 5/5 Rocco M. 1 year ago on Google
    I expect the food to be good, and it was great. Service nowadays is subpar usually, but this place changed my entire mood and atmosphere simply by the level of their exceptional service. The place is lively, clean, all the food is fresh, and the staff, and I mean the entire staff was flawless and extremely kind and accommodating. 12 out of 10. I’m already on my way back for a second time.

    This is an excellent choice for breakfast in the downtown Wheaton neighborhood. The service is great, and the servers are very nice, and the food is perfect. The menu has lots of choices and there are plenty of options for the kids. Also, parking is a little tight, but at least there’s parking. We had biscuits and gravy, pancakes, crispy bacon, and lattes. The kids colored on the menu and did the puzzles. You cant go wrong with this location.

    Food is very good.... but the wait is very long. Arrive about 2 hours before you actually plan to eat. The booths are far too narrow. My great uncle and grandmother were uncomfortably wedged between the seat and booth. We were able to move to a new table, but we shouldn't have been sat there in the first place. The staff did their best but I don't think this place is really worth it. You're better off at another breakfast place.

  • 5/5 Marguerite S. 1 year ago on Google
    Very nice breakfast place. We had a wonderful waitress. The portion size on the avocado toast and oatmeal are very reasonable compared to other dishes, for people who are a little less hungry.

    I ordered curbside pickup for the first time here today. I was really looking forward to the food. I arrived a couple of minutes after my pickup time and clicked the link that I had arrived. I waited for a couple of a minutes like it said to and then called the number provided when my order hadn't been brought out yet. It went to a recorded message about joining the wait-list, so I just decided to walk in and see if it was ready. After getting my food pretty quickly after walking in, I headed for home, but once I got home I realized that they had forgotten one of the few food items (sub specialty potatoes for eggs) that I had ordered and I still got charged extra for it. At that point, I was not driving in again. I am not very excited about this experience and it definitely will impact my visits in the future.
