Great food and service !!! Had a server in training and with the outstanding coaching she received ... It was like she had been there for years!! Food and coffee where fresh and hot!! Kudos !!

Sadly, there isn't a negative star option. I would say the food was disgusting but that wouldn't specify how dissatisfied I was. The egg WHITE omelette came out crisp brown. I felt like I was eating plastic. I would suggest to anyone to go to McDonald's instead to guarantee a better meal, it's only a block away. Because I did HAVE to give one star, it is because the waitress was a lesser disappointment. Save your time and energy.

Eating at this restaurant was extremely stressful! There was an obnoxious man, who I found out was the manager, screaming at the wait staff and the food preparation team. I was appalled by his demeanor! The food was wonderful, but doubt I will be back.....

0 Stars - will NEVER return Greasy, disgusting, overpriced, terrible customer service. Last night my friends and I dined at this restaurant and we are sorry we did: After telling us that there are no substitutions for menu items, the waiter brought out the wrong dish for two of us in the group. When we sent them back, he commented that maybe I "meant to order" the other dish... not possible - I ordered what he recommended to me on the menu after he told me that I was not allowed to substitute the ham out of the ham & cheese quesadilla. My friend's dish returned and was again incorrect. How hard is it to make a grilled cheese sandwich? He took it back with no apology. My food came out and was the most unappetizing thing I'd ever seen. Upon requesting to speak with the manager, the waiter aggressively argued that we were lying and that we had ordered the dishes that came out. The manager too argued with us that there was any issue at all. I have never dealt with such RUDE employees at any establishment. I sent my food back and the waiter offered to take it off the bill and give us a 20% discount. However, when we received the bill there was NO discount given. We asked to speak to the manager AGAIN and were told that he was working in the front so could not walk back to our table to address our concern. Really?! We went to him since he could not (would not) come to us and finally got some of the items removed from the bill. Here is what Raoul and his staff earned from their appalling behavior and service: This Yelp review and no tip.

This food blew away my expectations. The place was packed with people coming in and also leaving, but we didn't have to wait more than 5 mins to be seated. They have a great system to get groups in and out quickly. But the food wasn't typical diner fare. I ordered a skillet meal and the quality and presentation was something I would expect at a high class restaurant. I would've given 5 stars except the server entered the wrong type of omelet in the computer for my friend. When the wrong meal came, she apologized and had the correct meal prepared. But when it came to the table we could tell it was rushed and not as high quality as the rest of our meals.

Food here for as absolutely excellent. I had butter milk pancakes and omelet. They messed my omelet up twice, but the manager Nic came over and fixed everything and got it straighten out. She was a complete sweetheart unlike our waitress who was rude and impatient after she was the one that put our orders in wrong. They have the best pancakes I have had in a very long time. Despite our waitress, I will return because the roof was that good.

I go to Eggsperience in da burbs where I live but this was a nice family breakfast in downtown Chicago, Food was fresh and price was reasonable... Mmmm, I really like their spicy wheatgrass shot, too!

We ate here on vacation twice. The first time we had a great experience but the second time the service was not great. Had it not been for Jessica the server with the blue hair we might never come back! She was so awesome and she wasn't even our server. If you go eat here, ask for Jessica with the blue hair! Food is great!

Previous visits were fine. The food is good and the service is so so because the place is very busy. Service on this morning's visit is horrible. The place is always busy but it isn't totally packed on Monday at 10am, yet it had taken more than 10 mins to track down our waitress. The server dropped the slice of orange from the skillet to the floor, didn't bring syrup or butter with our pancakes. And our waitress never bother to stop by and check on our table. A complete service failure. Come for the food but don't expect anything other than average service at best. One update: I didn't realize I was talking to the manager when I went to pay the bill. I told him that the service was bad when he asked. He just took 10% off our bill and told me that the waitress is new. Oh well...

Whether it's 1am or 1pm, the food here hits the SPOT! Even late night, I was impressed with the service and quality. The price is what you might expect considering the address, but there's no way you could leave regretting your decision. It keeps odd hours, so check before you head over.

The food was very good. I had the corned beef has and eggs. But instead of hash browns I ordered fruit. I don't like melon and all but one piece was melon! Totally my fault because that is usually the case. Our server was friendly. I'd go back!

Cool n causal breakfast / brunch place. The service was quick n super friendly. They have several options to choose from, n great heathy meals too. We got the egg white omelette which was extra generously sized. The scrambled eggs were yum too. We had fresh coffee flowing throughout the meal n that was delightful.

Group of 8 were sat immediately. Great location. The 4 kids gobbled their banana and strawberry waffles with vigor. My lox scramble was delicious and well presented. Do not miss the corn beef hash. Waitress presented us with to-go cups for our coffee. Wifey's baked oatmeal warmed her for a big day of shopping.

I have to do it.....this place is Egggggggsellent!!! I had an omlette w chorizo and jalepenos and it was amaze. The pumpkin pancakes were delish even tho I could only manage one bite. The dishes are huge, so sharing is not a bad idea. My date had the protein omelet and it was awesome too! A definite must do while in brunching in Chitown!

The food was decent and service was alright. The omelet was too mushy and too soft. It's a good place to try.

About 20% full on a November Saturday afternoon. Came here for brunch. Other people getting lunch and breakfast as well. Diner style seating and service. I got the strawberry cheesecake French toast with their loaded hash browns. My friend got scrambled eggs. My French toast was "ordinary". I didn't dislike it but I didn't particularly enjoy it either. I could have probably made similar toast at home. They do cook their toast in egg though which I haven't seen before and was kinda cool. Not sure how much that added to the taste though. 5/10 for the toast. Scrambled eggs were just okay. Made with mushrooms and tomatoes. Nothing to write home about. The hash browns with onions, cheese and green peppers were a bit more oily than I'd like but tasted decent. Mediocre all in all. I chose it over Yolk due to proximity. If you are in the area and want great breakfast and service go to Wildberry instead. Tried it the previous day and it was delicious.

One of the worst places we are in Chicago. The huevos rancheros looked like crap on a plate. I had the oatmeal and it was dry. And both meals were cold and overpriced.

Short version: food fine, service fine. Longer version: we love using yelp in unfamiliar places to find eating spots. This place had a 3.5 rating, and I'd agree with that. Our waiter was very nice, as was the rest of the staff. The food portion size was excellent, and it was a great meal for the money. Flavor-wise it was just average, though. Get what you pay for, I guess. We were by no means disappointed. Just wanted to affirm the rating. One review seemed pretty harsh. Must've had a uniquely bad experience.

Mace W.

Overpriced and nothing special. I am convinced the only reason this place is busy on the weekends is due to their location and not repeat customers

The other day when I went to Eggsperience for the umpteenth time I realized they has the BEST darn coffee in the city! The menus is huge, and I have never had a bad meal. Service is great, the place is clean. I guess that is why I keep coming back.

We came here for breakfast after reading reviews. It has a bright and cheery atmosphere, friendly and efficient. They ran out of the extra shots (energy, whey, etc.) that you can add to juices, so that was disappointing. Fresh squeezed juices were good. My daughter had the chocolate chips pancakes (the chips come on top). My traditional Bennie was ok, rather bland and the english muffin was quite dry. My husband said his corned beef hash was very good - homemade. Coffee tasted a little burned. I'd like to come back and try the steel cut oatmeal. The fresh strawberries were good.

Just M.

Took forever for the food to come out and when we were ready to order, the server said she has to take care of 40 people so she told us to wait. We were still eating and the server kept asking if we were done. Really? Worst service I ever had in Chicago.

It was late night so bare with me on the details. The place was pretty crowded, but we got seated immediately. Service was fast and polite. The food was good and inexpensive. At the end of the day, it was a good diner and you will get what you expect. I would go back for breakfast or late night.

I went out to Castle Chicago on a Friday night and went to Eggsperience after I was tired of dancing around 2am or 3am. I LOVE that it's open late at night. Perfect location too. I remember the food selection to be great and I ordered the skillet with sausage, bacon and ham. It was really salty and I was only able to finish a quarter of it. The cheese on it was also a bit weird. However, it came with great strawberry pancakes. I also had a latte and an orange juice. The orange juice tasted very good. My boyfriend ordered nutella and banana crepes and that was good too. Would definitely go back to this place for late night munchies but probably not for a good brunch.

THE GOOD: Their fluffy, airy, whipped-into-panty-creaming-submission egg-white omelette---Packed with fresh, whole spinach leaves and a hint of tangy Cheddar (upon my request) I relished every billowy morsel (of 1/3rd of a portion) they laid before me on a galactic plate I'm certain was forged in the fires of Area 51. Great cup of organic joe, fresh cream and an icy pitcher of water with a lemon slice set my meal off nicely. Lively decor and cleanliness were a bonus in this establishment. THE BAD: Despite it wasn't crowded, food was slow coming out. They don't offer flavored creamers as many of the local Ma and Pa joints in my neighborhood do. On the pricey end with their extras. I noticed a side of bacon was nearly 5 bucks. Hell, I can fry up an entire slab for that! THE UGLY: Obnoxious cretins in the booth next to me. Yes, .please tell me more about how your fried-egg centers look like nipples; Whose nipples, I haven't a clue, but I certainly am delighted they aren't mine. *shudders* The image kinda hideously lingers momentarily, doesn't it? My waiter took damn near an eternity to fetch my check, looked horribly depressed and mumbled incessantly. SUMMATION: I would not TRAVEL to dine here again, but in the future, if I'm ever near another one of their restaurant locations, I'd stop in to get my puffy-egg-white perfection on without hesitation. Additionally, I promise to never again to use a classic, badass Eastwood film as a cliche' Yelp review outline.

Was staying in the area last weekend and grabbed an early solo breakfast here on a Sunday. Had an excellent fritata that came with toast and hash browns. The portions are generous, and the prices are on par. Very large menu with plenty of sweet, savory and egg dishes. Also has a fair amount of lunch options, but I have not tried them.

We were in the city again and my wife was hungry for Eggsperience. We went on Easter sunday and the food was very good. I had the Eggs Benedict and she had a scrambler with a side of pancakes. The eggs there always have such a good flavor that I haven't found anywhere else. The pancakes were fantastic! In my last review I said that I wouldn't go out of my way to come back, but I'm sure we'll be back again next time we're out there.

I don't usually review diners but I had the best breakfast here during my stay in Chicago. I ordered the mushroom spinach skillet with scramble eggs and added bacon to it and it was amazing. Definitely a must if you're staying in the area.

UPDATE: The manager we had on the 8th of November agreed to drop the charges from our cards after he recognized and acknowledged that the amount we were charged was not at all accurate to what we ordered (much higher). It was an argument before he agreed we had been duped. After checking my card statement a few days later, instead of dropping the charges entirely from our card like the manager agreed he instead corrected the amount to what we really ordered and charged our cards. I've reached out to my bank to dispute the charges, dine here with caution, the food is good but the management is shady!

I must say if you're getting breakfast in Chicago this place is a must. The Mile High Omlette I had was outstanding and the hash browns (shredded style) were perfectly brown on top. Toasted Wheat bread was excellent. Friendly staff great environment.

A good place to eat breakfast in the Windy City. It's very crowded in the weekends, but usually the wait will be less than 45 minutes. Their Frittata and Yummy In Your Tummy French Toast are really delicious. This place worth the visit and the wait.

This place is jumping, but I'm not sure why. It is horrible value for money. Go visit Yolk instead (half the price twice the quality). I attribute it to the lack of diner type restaurants in downtown Chicago (or at least those easily found by tourists). I ordered a Bacon and Cheese omelette and my wife ordered the protein omelette. I had a side of hash browns And with my meal as well as pancakes. My wife substituted tomatoes for fruit and had an English muffin. First my order came out as a Chorizo omelette with bacon added. When I explained that wasn't my order the staff apologized and quickly worked on correcting the problem. This was well handled and I appreciated how quickly they worked to fix it. Unfortunately when my omelette came out it had clearly been cooked in a pan just used to cook mushrooms. Furthermore it had a very odd texture. It was more like the cheese and bacon had been mixed in scrambled eggs rather than an omelette. My hash browns were OK, but nothing special. The pancakes had powdered sugar, which to me is odd but seems to be a Chicago thing. My wife's omelette was huge. As part of the protein omelette they use whipped egg whites which makes a very fluffy omelette. Again the ingredients were mixed into the omelette rather than laid on top. Overall though her omelette was better than mine by a fair shot. The tomatoes were fine but the English muffin seemed to be un-toasted (although it was vaguely brown). I had also ordered a large mocha which ended up tasting like chocolate milk with espresso. Overall had this breakfast cost $20-$25 rather than $50 I would've made it a 3 star review. As it stands, I feel 2 is somewhat generous.

This brunch spot is at a really convenient lcoation in river North, but keep in mind there are better brunch places around! The pancakes were really good, these were the only things that stood out to me. The omlettes were large, but my mushroom/spinach skillet was really watery. Nothing really stod out and to me that was a let down! Service was fast and friendly, even on Father's day. I would come here out of convenience, but I would much prefer going to Yolk or Brunch in River North.

Meh. For all the good reviews this place gets, it was mediocre. We split an egg white omelette with broccoli, chicken & Swiss cheese ($12.99) and along with the two smallish pancakes that came with it, it was plenty of breakfast and a good value for two. But that's where the upside ends. The three egg whites were beaten so much that they had a merengue-y quality to them. The broccoli was crunchy but the chicken was flavorless. The pancakes were a little mealy but mercifully edible. And the coffee - which I prefer strong - was crazy bitter. Daniela was super friendly but forgot to bring the napkin I asked for until she cleared the table.

We were wondering around downtown looking for someplace for brunch and stumbled upon this great Restauraunt. Even though it seemed crowded when we walked in we were seated in less than 5 min. Our server "Omar" was charming and made great recommendations since it was our first visit. I had an amazing omelet and plan to eat hear every time I'm in the area. Great ambiance, affordable menu and phenomenal service made this a great dining experience.

I wanted to love this place more!!! Oh well maybe I ordered the wrong thing. Bacon and eggs with pancakes. Just ok and for just ok, overpriced for this dish. That being said, coffee was great and the service was great as well. I also appreciated the water on the table and would still go back to try something else.

Jamie L.

My friends and I had breakfast here 2 days ago. The server was friendly. I ordered the omelette with pancakes. My main dish was excellent. But the point is my soup was cold. it's kinda like chicken rice soup. In the same time my friend ordered broccoli with cheese soup, hers was hot. Moreover my smoothie " mango tango" was taste weird .Oops!

Brittany L.

Really quick table turn-around. If they tell you 15-20 minutes before you're seated, that's actually how long it's going to be. I was amazed. Our server was really pleasant and apologized that we had a slightly longer wait to actually get our food. We were drinking coffee and chai and chatting so I didn't mind. I had Lox Bennie (English muffin, smoked salmon, eggs, hollandaise sauce) and thought it was awesome. My friend had some French toast topped with apples, nuts, and cinnamon sauce. Also yummy. Meals were around $10 and we weren't hungry again until much later that evening.

This was a great 'eggsperience' (pun intended). This moderately sized restaurant is right in the middle of River North and has everything a brunch seeker could want. The server, from Moldova, could not have been nicer and friendlier. The food, outstanding We went on a Friday at around noon. There was no wait - we were seated at a table forf three right away. The coffee was free-flowing, flavorful and strong. (To me, coffee makes or breaks a place.) The food was fresh, I had a simple dish of scrambled eggs, hashed browns, sausage patties and a bagel. Couldn't have been better. There was literally not a crumb on my plate when I was through. Definitely makes my list of top places for brunch.

Eggsperience is a good option if you aren't looking for something fancy for breakfast in Chicago. The restaurant is pretty large, so my party had no problem finding a table at peak hours. It's a good clean atmosphere.The service was fast and friendly, and the food was a plenty and was reasonable. They have every breakfast you can imagine and all of our meals were good. The portions were large and the prices were okay, but they seemed a little high. $20 for an omelette and coffee, but it is downtown Chi. Regardless, the om was delicious and fluffy and filled me up. Overall, it wasn't a "homy" brunch, but it definitely was satisfying and a good option if you're looking for breakfast or brunch. Atmosphere: 7.5/10 Service: 8/10 Food: 8/10

Eggsperience sounds touristy to me which is a type of place I typically would not like to go to while visiting a new city, but I'm glad I did! My husband and I decided to "eat with no regard to our resolutions" when we arrived in Chicago. So, with respect to that, at Eggsperience, I indulged in the Mile High Omlette, a classic ham, green peppers, onions and cheese omlette with a side of hashbrowns and pancakes. Wow! I couldn't even eat a third of it, but every bite was delicious. The service was friendly and attentive. What a great way to start our day and our adventure in the Windy City. Extra: They bake their own bread. I recommend the 9-grain. Yum.

Good eggsperience. Checked it out during brunch time on my last full day in Chicago. Bf and I were seated fairly quickly although the hostess just dropped us off at the booth and left the menus on the table. Okaay there. Normally, we are seated and then given the menus. Once seated, our eyes darted until we found what we wanted to order. For me, it was the strawberry-orange juice and the Butcher's Bennie. For him, it was the Chef's Calling omelet and mango-orange juice. My bf noticed that there was something in his drink and with closer examination, I realized it was a bug!!! We quickly got our server's attention and he profusely apologized and got us another drink. The drink must've been one of those pre-made ones that was poured into an open bottle because we saw one as we were sitting in a booth close to the bar. Other than that, our food came out piping hot and bug-free. Deliciously good and well worth the trip. The portions are huge by the way!

While visiting Chicago we yelped the nearest brunch spots. I wanted pancakes and my friend wants eggs, what better place than here! I had whole wheat berry pancakes (raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, stuffed into my pancakes) topped with granola. She had chorizo omelette with hash browns and toast. Overall the food was great and our server was very nice, attentive and quick.

I can't explain how clutch this location is. It's right next to the river north clubs and is a nice little spot for breakfast food after a night out.

Chicago has a lot of GREAT brunch places. This one is just okay. It's a step above a diner that slings breakfast food, and the variety of food on the menu is awesome, but the overall quality and creativity doesn't put this place in the upper echelon of brunch destinations. If you're in River North, though - as we were - and you don't have time to wait 90 minutes for a table at Yolk or the Bongo Room (also, like us), this place will certainly do. When we arrived, the entire lobby/entry area was packed and people were spilled out onto the sidewalk waiting for tables. Thinking that this place also had a lengthy wait, we were surprised that the wait for a table for 2 was only 15 minutes. Sure enough, in fifteen minutes, we were seated. What was amazing was the efficiency with which this place operated. First, it's bigger than it looks - the dining rooms extends back and to the left of the front entry. Second, as soon as someone gets up from a table, there's a busboy cleaning the table; simultaneously some sort of signal gets relayed to the hostess who immediately dispatches the next party to said table. Usually they arrive just as the busboy is leaving. So, keep this in mind: if you think you might be turned off by having to watch the busboy finish clearing scrambled eggs off your table before you sit down, this might not be your place. This is also not the trendy 'destination' brunch spot... What this place does deliver is 'good' breakfast/brunch food fast... at a restaurant with 400 other Chicagoans. That kitchen must be a well-oiled machine. The service was also friendly and our waiter was always johnny-on-the spot with anything we needed. In terms of food, we had the pancakes with apples and pecans and the Lox Bennie. The pancake were good - but I found the apples to be a little too plentiful. I didn't try the Lox Bennie, but when we left, the plate was nearly licked clean. I guess that's a good sign.

They didn't eggs-actly wash their dishes how I would have hoped, but once I got some clean utensils Eggsperience was ok. The menu is pretty large with lots of breakfast and lunch items to choose from and the egg pun in the title is definitely appropriate. There's tons t of omelet, fritatta, benedict and scramble options so if you're worried about a steady diet of protein for your first meal it's a non issue here. It gets busy during peak hours so if you're on your own or with a friend I'd recommend bypassing the line with counter seating. The service goes quick from there, but all checks are paid for at the front which kind of clogs up the entrance if you're trying to get in and out. Overall it's a decent option for breakfast, but I wouldn't eggsactly eat here every morning.

The food and service were fantastic. The pancakes may have been the best Ihave ever had, and the coffee was perfect !

This is one of the worst brunch places in Chicago. Both my partner and I found hair in our food. They offered to replace the food but I had lost my appetite at that point. They still charged us for the food which was disappointing. I also noticed several employees in the bathroom who did not wash their hands before returning to work. This place is disgusting. Take your money elsewhere. A horrible eggsperience, indeed.

"EGGS"cellent! When my wife and I go to Chicago we will go to this restaurant every other morning for breakfast. We have not gone wrong yet. With quick service, large portion sizes, flavorful food, robust organic coffee, and fresh squeezed juices it's hard to top. My recommendation is get an omelette made with egg whites and opt for the pancakes on the side. The egg white omelettes are huge and fluffy! The pancakes taste much better than their toast. This place does get quite busy on the weekends however, so I would also recommend that you go on the weekdays.

I was placed on hold for 35 minutes and they still would not take my pickup order when I called back. Very poor.

Food has been consistently good here over the years. I've come here a lot late night. Maybe its just good food after a night of drinks but I have also wandered in there during lunch and the food is still good!

Great place to have breakfast! We were in Chicago for a few days and out hotel didn't offer a free breakfast, so we decided to venture out. Found this place on yelp and decided to give it a try. From the menu, I thought it was going to be super diner-y, like Waffle House or Denny's. But the food ended up being great! Better than normal diner quality. Lots of options and huge portions. Worth the cost. I had the waffles one day and one of the skillets the second day we went. Both days we did not leave hungry.

Everything about this place was great. I had an omelette and my wife had Belgian waffles. Both were really good and our server was very attentive.

Had an amazing omelette and very delicious hashbrowns. The meal was huge, I was only able to take one bite of my pancake side and gave about 1/3 of my omelette away and still walked out feeling like a fat kid. Great service, fun atmosphere especially the music selection.

Had the corned beef hash skillet! It was delicious. The business was busy and chaotic but all the staff we encountered were very friendly. The drinks were served fast and the food came out quickly. For how busy they were I'm shocked at the efficiency. Very good place!

The food was great- we had the corned beef. skillet and the strawberry cheesecake French toast. You can tell things are fresh. I was however surprised at our bill. It seemed a little pricey considering you can get stellar food and service at Meli's for not much more money. This place is quick and I liked it, but louder and more self serve. It can be good or bad depending- they leave a pot of coffee and a pitcher of water for you to help yourself. I didn't feel like we could stay a little and relax, more like get in, eat, and get out.

The corned beef hash and egg gods have blessed the earth in the form of eggsperience. The service is very fast and rather impersonal, but that is not a bad thing. the food is great and the wait for a table isn't too long. the restraint is rather large which I usually view as a bad thing, but it worked out fine in this case. My boyfriend ha chorizo omelets and he loved it. the omlet was spicy. the pancakes were incredible possible the best, ever. I would gladly recommened this resteraunt to anyone needing breakfast in Chitown.

My protein omelet was excellent, and huge. Service was extremely fast. Caramelized apple pecan pancakes were pretty good, but pretty small and generic. Nothing special about the actual pancakes themselves.

Visiting Chicago and this place was very near to my hotel. We were seated right away, service was friendly and fast. They bring your coffee in a big pot, which is great, and the coffee was fine. Ordered an egg scramble, because I never thought you could mess up scrambled eggs, but it was incredibly greasy; almost inedible. And I ordered bacon in it and I think I got sausage in there instead. And the onions & peppers in my hash browns were still raw. My husband got a cheese omelette but did not enjoy it. His hash browns looked much better and he said they were just slightly better than the eggs but nothing to write home about. Pancakes were fine, mediocre but decent.

Mauro R.

We had a good breakfast and very affordable at Eggsperience on Ontario. I went with eggs Benedict while my wife indulged helself with the Caramelized Apple & Pecan Crepes. Both dishes were very tasty, well done, real eggs (!) and my wife's dish could have fed both as it was big. I love their freshly squeezed combo-juices, refreshing and a different idea than the classic orange juice. Service was very good and again, in consideration of the quality, quantity and location, the value factor of this place is very, very good

Alyssa F.

Came here with two of my friends on a late Sunday morning. There was only a 5 minute wait for a table. Service was quick. There is so much on the menu to chose from. Food is delicious! I highly recommend the Caramelized apple and pecan French toast. Hashbrowns just tasted like pure potato (which is probably a good thing) I liked them, others might not. I would come here again in a heart beat.

Neil R.

This is a pretty awesome brunch place and each time i've gone here its been a great experience. I have always had great service - although -I can see how some people can have waitstaff overwhelmed given that its always packed. The menu is huge and very reasonably priced. I typically go for two scrambled egg whites, sausage and side of chocolate chip pancakes - all comes to around $10, which I think is a really good value. I have had to wait for seating but usually no longer than 10 minutes - they do move fast. There is an option to sit at the breakfast bar which offers equally good service. Overall - i'm a fan and this was one of my go to brunch places in Chicago.

the name of this place is clever and smart. who would of ever thought "Eggsperience" when i was in Chicago for a business trip i had 2 outstadning eggsperiences lol and it was perfect. everything on the menu was tasty thank god i live in NYC or else i would be a 1 ton woman. yum yum yummy

B A.

Overpriced and below average quality. One pancake $4.25. Size was smaller than coffee saucer. All sugar and v flat. No buttermilk flavor or fluffiness. Egg very greasy and also tiny. The yolk had no flavor. Only positive is great servers. If you want to spend these prices, go few blocks up street to Yolk, much better and bigger food. Otherwise, do Golden Nugget or Ihop. Much more homemade and better tasting food, larger portions, cheaper prices. Won't be back here.

Leanne P.

We came here to try to sober up after drinking way too much. Their 3 stars come from the fact that they didn't throw us out for being obnoxious and drunk. Other than that though, the food was very meh. I got eggs benedict (because I always do) and it was pretty gross. Hubs got pancakes, which was better... but seriously, how do you screw up pancakes?
(3)
Aron Y.

I came here for brunch on my last day of vacation to Chicago. It was a weekday and it wasn't too packed when we got there. Being a breakfast lover, I had to try out their omelette which was known for its large portion size. Make no mistakes, the omelette is much better than your average omelette from places like IHOP/Denny's or any diners, both in taste and size. This thing is legit. The omelette order also came with 2 pancakes. I normally don't get full from eating at a diner-like place but I was full this time after finishing my meal. This would be a regular brunch place for me if I lived in Chicago.
(5)
Joe G.

The food was good, the prices high, but that may be just Chicago. $5 for a glass of orange juice is ridiculous. Also, I was a little disappointed that they didn't offer gluten free pancakes, and when I ordered my omelette, I could have fruit or hash browns and pancakes or bread. When I asked to have fruit instead of the pancakes or bread, that was not an option. Need to be more flexible for people making dietary choices.

My husband and I had breakfast here on a recent Saturday morning, and it was very busy; however we were seated within 10 minutes. They crank out food quickly and efficiently, which was just what we needed. This also means they can turn tables quickly even when busy. The tables are pretty close together - we could have easily had conversations with the people seated next to us, and the place was noisy because it was so busy. The service was efficient, and very friendly. I tried pancakes, and my husband had stuffed french toast, and we were both pleased - and could only eat about half of our meals. I also tried the fresh-squeezed OJ, which was delicious (and not full of pulp). I wish I had noticed before ordering the OJ that they offer many different fresh juices; I might have tried something more exotic!
(4)
Brendon C.

The food was great. We got the chorizo omelette, banana pancakes and two eggs, hash browns and pancakes. The only downside was the service. We had our orders taken quickly and the food came it within 10 minutes but we weren't checked on, asked how our food was out asked if we needed the cream refilled for our coffee. The server was very friendly when he did visit our table. At the end he gave us recommendations on what to do and see while visiting Chicago. I would come back for breakfast again.

My wife and I had come to Chicago for the weekend. We were staying near the river and found Eggsperience on Yelp. It is close quarters and pretty noisy but the service was very prompt, the had fresh squeezed grapefruit juice, and the food was excellent. Also plenty of it so both of us had a late morning snack for later.

Came here based on yelp reviews while on vacation in Chicago in 2012. Don't know if it's any different now but just got reminded of the delicious the Yummy in My Tummy French Toast was. I don't remember any complaints around our table of 4, in fact a couple of us went back the next morning for a second round. Fond memories of Chicago partially because of this breakfast!

Setting: Nice Sunday morning around 11AM. Wait: Said to be 15-20 more like 5 minutes. Service: VERY friendly. Space: Crowded and packed in but hey, it's in a legit spot (esp. for tourists) so get them in there! Food: DAYUM! Food was amazing AND quick. Huge portions that will probably be too much. Toast is amazing. Benedict is out of this world. Everyones food around me looked so damn good, I wanted it all. Overall: Legit place! GO! I also think they are open late which sounds like the perfect after bar pick up!

Decent breakfast place in the downtown area. We stayed at the Marriott on Grand and walked over. I think we lucked out when we got there around 9, it started to get pretty busy. The place has a breakfast diner feel, kinda like a Cora's...very clean looking, big windows making the place quite bright looking out towards the street. Open kitchen area you can see from the dining area. I had the blueberry pancakes, which were quite big and thick! Asked for crispy bacon, did not get crispy bacon, ugh. but a good amount of food for sure! My Dad had the Eggs Benedict, which he is always afraid of because he got super sick once from the sauce. He enjoyed it though, and they leave the coffee pot at the table, it is nice not to have to ask for refills all the time on those small coffee cups that diners have. Service was fast though, the moved tables pretty quickly. Our food came pretty quickly, and we were definitely in and out within an hour. Seems like a popular spot on the weekend. Would come back for sure when in Chicago!

Breakfast is served and I really got an Eggsperience to tell. Walk through the doors and was immediately seated. Plenty of items to choose from on the menu like traditional breakfast, skillets, omelets, benedicts, scramblers, oatmeal, wraps and more. It was hard to decide on what I want but I ended up with the Tommy Boy Skillet which is a MEAT LOVERS skillet. BACON, SAUSAGE, and HAM over diced potatoes covered by cheese and egg. Dash of pepper, ketchup and tobasco sauce for tasty goodness. It also comes with either toast or pancakes. I got the special pancake which was the pumpkin spice pancake. Tasted really healthy with their homemade cream sauce on top. Best part yet was washing everything down with a cold glass of Orange Juice. Our waitress was superb, coming by often to check to see if everything was alright or if we needed anything else. This place is really clean, and spacious. Prices are decent as well.

Had breakfast at Eggsperience with the family last week. First time there. I was impressed. Efficient service. well designed menu. big portions, good to excellent food quality! I am a corned beef hash guy. I order it often. I have to say that Eggsperience has the best corned beef hash I have ever had in a restaurant!! The other adults at the table had omelets or crepes, and all thought theirs were above average in quality, presentation and portion size. The kids had pancakes. The cakes were light and fluffy. My wife had a side of thick cut bacon... though not the best ever, it was still a cut above the typical breakfast joint. And the fresh squeezed OJ is a very nice touch. Our OJ was squeezed on the spot when we ordered! How cool is that! Highly recommended. A 4.5 star establishment.

I'm visiting Chicago for a few and decided to see how good the breakfast scene is. The last weekend I came here there was an hour plus wait...even for the breakfast bar. I came back on a weather trodden Sunday and found the wait much less but still at least 25 mins for a table. I sat at the bar and was met by a friendly waitress. The staff are definitely nice. I asked what's good for a first timer and was told the corned beef hash is homemade and there are three ways I can get it: eggs on the side, skillet, or with benedict. I chose the second option and opted for the pancakes instead of toast. I also added some hash browns just to see how they were. Now we come upon why I gave this restaurant only one star....the food. It was bland. The pancakes felt powdery when chewing. The hash browns tasted like they used boiled potatoes before frying...even salt couldn't bring back the flavor. The corned beef wasn't bad but the skillet lacked the savory flavor I was hoping for. There was as much cheese as there was corned beef. I think this place is good for tourists that want to experience a downtown Chicago eatery. For serious gourmands, I'd recommend staying away...not worth the wait.

I had a craving for waffles for dinner but was sad to find this place closed for dinner. Whaaaat? Um, is it still a 24-hour place if it closes at 4 PM every day, but opens (re-opens) at 10 PM-6AM Thursdays-Saturdays (see photo for exact hours/days)? Me thinks not. Sigh. I guess I could dig out my waffle iron and make some at home.

Came in on a busy morning but got seated pretty quickly. Place for tourists and locals because the food is really good. The egg white omelette was the size of my head and the pancakes were like angels singing in my mouth. Bf enjoyed his strawberry cheesecake waffles. Would def come back again.

It's easy to give this place 5 stars just for the atmosphere and healthy options. I love the open space and huge windows. My best pal Sage and I are on a health kick, so after we guzzled down our Bragg's Vinegar drink we decided to try Eggsperience. We stayed at the hotel Felix the other day and it was the closest one to our hotel. We both ordered the Egg White Delight with no cheese and oh my what a surprise. I didn't realize it was going to be huge! I couldn't finish it. Plus our waiter was so cute! It was definitely a double delight! After we finished our breakfast, I left him something special. A yelp card.(see picture) He knows where to find me. Hahahahaha.... I know. So naughty!

The eye can be deceiving. And in some cases, I am hesitant to post a photo because it doesn't reflect the experience. Usually it can't capture the magic. In this case, I think it looks way too appetizing. I'm not being terribly fair to Eggsperience. And overall, I need to take some of the responsibility for not venturing farther from the tourist center of town to track down more interesting breakfast options. But we had one meal at Eggsperience and the other at Yolk. They are a similar type of restaurant (decor, menu, price), only Yolk was better in every way. I was surprised to learn that Eggsperience is a family-owned restaurant because it really looks and feels like a big chain restaurant. I ordered the Caramelized Apple Pecan Pancakes, which I began to refer to as dessert for breakfast after taking a bite. Mr. K went south-of-the-border and chose The Caliente wrap. The menu said a hint of jalepeno peppers, but there was more than a hint. Way to spicy for first thing in the morning. Once he removed some of the peppers, it was much more enjoyable. Our food was fine, but our service was only mediocre. The coffee was not good, but that might be a result of a little Portland snobbery. It happens. I'm quite tempted to give them two stars, but it seems overly harsh. So consider this a 2.5.

Perfect spot for late night eats on the weekends after a long night of festivities ;) Food is fresh and delicious, service has always been great, never had a long wait for a table. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because they used to be open late on Thursdays as well which was perfect after Salsa dancing across the street til 2am but aren't any more :~/ Love coming here though!

I loved it here! It was my best breakfast while in Chicago. Everything was cooked perfectly for me and the coffee was wonderful. My husband was not impressed as his tea was not plain black as he ordered, but lemon flavored. His entrÃ©e was good though and he enjoyed the fresh fruit. Out waiter was a little forgetful and less than attentive. I was just very happy with the delicious food that was tastier to me than anywhere else we went on this trip!

Worst breakfast experience during my Chicago stay. First there was icecold froth on my Cappucino, then when exchanged the coffee was made searing hot, undrinkable. And if that was not enough I found a hair in my scrambled eggs. Go somewhere else!

Lola K P.

Another place our friends suggested to meet one morning. This is a good place for anyone who just needs a no-frills standard breakfast at a good price. It's a pretty basic diner, nondescript chain-like with some bright colorful paint, but still managed to feel kinda drab to me. The food was ok, my omelette was kinda dry. Large portions. The service was fast and pretty detached here - get you in, get you fed, and get you out. That's it. Sometimes that's all you want, and this place works very well for that.

Amy S.

For starters I was placed at a table near the door on a freezing cold Chicago morning. Secondly, the table was right next to cash register it felt like I dining with the whole line! They were hovering over my hot cakes! Where did you get that bacon? Walmart?? Surely it wasn't grade A! On a positive note the chorizo hit the spot. I'm sure the whole line was wanting a taste.

What a surprise! This morning, at 9:30 AM on a Saturday, my hubby and I ventured to Eggsperience with a bit of trepidation after reading the Yelp reviews. Although it was busy, we were seated within a couple of minutes. We served ourselves water from the pitcher on the table (with ice and lemon slice) and were greeted immediately by our cheerful server. I noted that there were several seats available at the bar when we walked past, and I would have been fine sitting there if there were no tables available. After we placed our order, our food arrived within 5 minutes. My husband ordered the Butcher's Choice Eggs Benedict: poached eggs on a hash of diced bacon, ham and sausage on English muffins with a touch of Hollandaise. He related that he would have liked to have more sauce because the Hollandaise was delicious. I ordered the strawberry crepes and we shared the potato pancakes with apple sauce and and sour cream. The crepes were more in the style of thin pancakes and were rolled around and topped with luscious ripe, fresh strawberries. Although I wasn't fond of the neon red strawberry syrup that accompanied them on the side, the crepes were homey and yummy. The hashbrowns that accompanied my husband's eggs were shredded, beautifully cooked brown and crunchy, and delicious, but he left them behind in favor of the outstanding latkes. These potato pancakes were thin, exquisitely crunchy on the outside and creamy inside, and tasty with the applesauce and sour cream that was served with them. At the beginning of the meal, the server left butter and pancake syrup on the table, puzzling to us since we didn't order anything (we thought) that would need them. After observing other diners, my husband realized that they were meant for the latkes, so he dipped a piece of one in the syrup...and loved it! We had our fill of the quite good coffee from the carafe left at the table after the server filled our first mugs. I thought that $40 for the large portion sizes and number of dishes that we ordered was quite reasonable, especially for Chicago. We will absolutely dine here again. We had a a great Exxperience at Eggsperience and recommend it without reservation!

This restaurant is no longer 24/7. They're open extended hours Friday and Saturday nights, but the rest of the week they're only open for breakfast and lunch. Still, this is a very good place to have a meal. Portions are big, the prices are very reasonable given the location, and the quality is decent. Think upscale Dennys. A glorified, sanitized IHOP. I like cleanliness and wish my neighborhood dives (Melrose, this would be YOU) were as good as Eggsperience. Just beware: this place becomes club kid hangout between 1am and 4am when they're open late. It's the only thing open in the entire River North neighborhood with the exception of McDonald's, so anticipate loud crowds and clubsters that've had way too much Jack to drink. Nothing goes better with Belgian waffles than a Mad Dog 20/20, right?

Recommended by our hotel for a good breakfast so we went in for brunch on a weekday, around 11 am. There was no wait to be seated and we got served immediately. They leave you with a jug of water and a pot of coffee so you don't have to keep flagging down the waitress for refills. We ate the eggs Benedict with bacon $10.50 ( replaced Canadian bacon with regular bacon) and the egg white omelette $12. The omelette portion is huge so you could plan to share. The eggs Benedict was just enough with hash browns on the side. Overall, good experience, fast service and the restaurant ambiance is fresh, airy and nice to be in.

We got there at 9:30 and just missed the huge wait. Breakfast was fantastic. Hash browns were fabulous--not greasy and cooked to perfection. Our kids loved the generous kids menu. Breakfast scramble was delish. This place is super busy but very efficient. Wait staff was super nice.

VERY good and the staff was VERY nice as well! Coffe was slamming breakfast was good i say when you go to chicago DEF go here!

Shradha A.

The Yummy in your Tummy French Toast with chocolate sauce and fresh strawberries - that alone wins several stars! Their fresh strawberry crepe was also really good! As was the coffee! Service was very slow, forgetful and inattentive. But a place that is open 24hrs serving brunch food has to rank highly on my list!

Chenney C.

I thought my "eggsperience" was pretty good. Granted, I didn't order eggs - but their banana nut pancakes were to die for. And my drunken friend across my table who just for some reason decided to eat just bacon seemed to enjoy herself. You see, after an evening that we had - this meal meant everything. It could mean we were going to go over our charades for the night and not wake up with a hangover the next day - or just eat mediocre food and wake up wanting to die. So with that for measurement; this place did just what it was intended for. Everyone left happy and we all felt pretty good the next day.

Rachel R.

Yolk is our go-to breakfast spot on the weekends, given its close proximity to home. This morning they had an abnormally long wait so we headed to Eggsperience. The egg whites and fresh OJ were the only things I finished. The hash browns and toast were cold, and the pancakes were thick and doughy. The coffee was decaf (I ordered regular) but I didn't send it back because it took over 10 minutes to get in the first place. The service was okay, but the food was a miss. Too many places in the city for breakfast, so I doubt we'll ever be back.

Don't you all ever tell me there is an excuse to eat at that dreadful (former) rock 'n roll cum spaceship Micky D's downtown latenight, EVER AGAIN! Not a word, not a peep. Wow, so harsh. Geez, take a chillax pillax, lady. Ok, my apologies...but I would love to announce to everyone that is drunk late night in the Loop, that there is now a savior waiting for you, BEFORE you try to get in a cab or ride the el or bus home. Eat first! Eggsperience! Cheeky name and all, though egg puns are fun, aren't they? Egggggggzactly. My Veggie omelette was perfection, super fluffy and lots of veggies, hearty toast and lovely hashbrownies. The coffee stayed full the entire time, and my water was never below half full. Hydrated and caffeinated, this is how I roll. Service was very sweet! Lots of seating, great for groups. Bring 'em all in. 24 hour un-divey diner. 24 HOURS. In the Loop. And CLEAN. There is a God, and he eats omelettes and pancakes and drinks hot coffee, apparently. (also a good, reasonably priced place for breakfast for nearby hotel dwellers, those people who MUST take their families to Michigan Ave, etc).

Not eggcellent. I went on a Thursday morning with a friend. All he ordered was an English muffin due to a hangover, but I ordered the turkey sausage and eggs. To wash it down and to wake my tired ass up, I also ordered an espresso drink. Out comes the drink after about 15 minutes of waiting. At first sip, I nearly gagged. It tasted spoiled or something... probably from bad milk or old espresso. That's when I noticed the dirt lining the rim. It was obvious my glass had been sitting on the shelf and had been collecting dust. I don't want to even think about what was actually IN the glass. I pointed it out to the waiter, who immediately took it away and proceeded to show all the other employees the dirt, I suppose as a warning. My breakfast was edible, but just barely. I ended up scarfing the toast (even though it was more on the bread side than the toast side) because everything else was so gross. I ordered over medium eggs and they came out over easy. Sounds picky, but I really really hate runny egg whites. The turkey sausage was decent but cold. I didn't touch the hashbrowns. I give this place 2 stars because the waiter was nice and took the drink off the bill and seemed disturbed by the disgusting glass. Also, I liked how they had pitchers of water on every table. If I ever go back, I'll just get pancakes.

Walked by this place on the way to our hotel and was intrigued by its clever name and overall cuteness. My friend and I stopped in late on a Sunday night when nothing else was open. We were the only people in there for a while and it stayed virtually empty for the couple hours we spent talking and sipping coffee. The service was quick and courteous and the staff didn't seem to mind us sitting around for a while. It was very bright, welcoming, homey environment. And pots of coffee on the table?! Best or worst idea ever? I got the huevos rancheros and was absolutely baffled by its enormity. This thing was seriously huge, and packed up with scrambled eggs, cheeses, and refried beans. I usually hesitate to order eggs out because a lot of diners don't cook them to my liking. But the place is called Eggsperience, and when in Rome, right? The eggs were SO FLUFFY and delicious! And cheesy! And the refried beans were an excellent accompaniment, as weird as they sounded. I made a good dent in the dish, but didn't come close to finishing. From the sound of it, huge portions come with the territory. I can imagine this place getting pretty busy with a late night/after bar crowd, but it seems like the perfect spot for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or late night. I'm sure it nurses a mean hangover, too.

This morning I polished off another delish cheesy omelette at Eggsperience. You know it's good when I visit a place twice in 1 week! However, just one suggestion that would make this "eggsperience" even better: Paying at the tables rather than having to stand in the very long line at the hostess stand.

More like 3.5 stars, but I bumped it to 4 because the prices are very good for the area. Not to mention that the omelettes are HUGE. They're made with ostrich eggs, and are the size of a football. If you can eat more than half of it, you're a champ, because most can't even get through a third. I had a chicken pesto sandwich for lunch, which was very average, with soggy bread and not too much pesto, but still decent. Definitely stick to breakfast.

Must do. Ordered a Mediterranean omelette and was amazing - it came with hash browns and choice of pancake. My original pancakes were freshly made. My boyfriends blueberry ones did not disappoint. Orange juice you could tell was freshly squeezed. All deserving of four stars.

Yes. PLEASE. Not only is the menu stocked with a bunch of options... there are numerous healthy ones! WOOHOO! LOVE IT! If you are a breakfast brat like me... this is an amazing place to get breakfast ANYTIME (they are open 24 hours!) i love the weight watchers wrap AND the whole wheat pancakes with sugar-free syrup! The hubby loved the skirt steak skillet! No fuss, good stuff... a lot of seating.... so they can accommodate a huge crowd! LOVE IT.

Awesome concept (I hope it thrives). I must admit...I LOVE breakfast. Everything I had was above average to great. -- My Eggs Bene were decadently good -- Pom Smoothie was delicious -- Coffee pot and water pitcher on the table was great I definitely want to head back and try some of their other sweet and savory concoctions (pancakes, crepes, skillets, etc.)

our first stop on our trip to chicago. i honestly believe it set the tone for the entire trip. we landed at 5am and barely dropped off our bags at our hotel when my stomach started rumbling and growling and snarling at me to feed it something warm. i whipped out my phone and noticed eggsperience was literally around the corner from our hotel and it was OPEN at 6am! right off the bat, i took a liking to the place once our waitress came out to greet us. i dont remember her name but she was genuinely welcoming and kind and took care of us knowing that we were visiting from out of town. she made multiple recommendations to their popular breakfast items (as the menu is a bit daunting b/c of all the choices they offer) and she also came by numerous times to check up on us. LA waitresses could definitely learn a thing or two from her! on our table was a pitcher filled to the brim with ice cold water which was refreshing after our long plane ride. we both ordered a glass of their fresh squeezed orange juice which totally hit the spot. i literally had to stop myself from gulping down the glass and savored each sweet tangy sip. brown sugar oatmeal & denver omelet. the oatmeal came out first and it was piping hot and warmed my belly. but once i had a bite of the omelet, the oatmeal became like a middle child--forgotten and overshadowed by it's cute fluffy cheesy younger sibling. the omelet was HUGE but we managed to scrape the plate clean. to be completely honest, i would probably give eggsperience a 3.5 or 4 star rating if i lived in chicago because it was like any typical diner here in LA. but it was that extra little chicago hospitality that our lovely waitress bestowed on us that i'm giving it a 5. bf and i still remember her as "the super sweet waitress that started our trip off right".

Went there for brunch for couple of times. It was OK. No long wait and the potion is always good for us, not too large to too little. And the location is great. You can always go shopping directly after brunch.

BOOM! Eggsperience has everything you'd ever want in a breakfast experience. Fast service and affordable prices. (Literally) Stumbled in here with a friend because it was only a couple blocks from our hotel. We were seated in seconds. Ok, confession: all I had at this meal was a crepe, but hot dangg was it delicious and filling. If you're not up for crepes, never fear!! Their menu has a million other options. So here's the deal, Eggsperience has a banana nutella crepe on the menu. They also have a strawberry nutella crepe on the menu. But I wanted a banana & strawberry crepe that was NOT on the menu. I asked, and I received! (yay!) The service was QUICK, people. My eyeballs were exploding out of my head when they brought our food out in 10 minutes. The crepe I ordered was GINORMOUS. Fruity nutella goodness everywhere!!! nom nom nom. Im giddy just thinking about it. ....I will be back.... to stuff my face.

Giant frittata that could have easily fed four people? Check. Side of pancakes in case that wasn't gluttonous enough? Check. Coffee pot left at the table so your hungover @ss has ready access to refills? Check. Open 24 hours so you can get your pancake on at a moment's notice? Check. Reasonable prices? Check. Eggstensive opportunities for bad breakfast puns to complete the eggsperience? Check. The fruit plate was lame and melon heavy, and the tables in the back were a bit loud, but that's getting pretty nitpicky.

Great corned beef hash, and strawberry cheesecake pancakes! Expect a bit of a wait, but it's worth it compared to all the tired chain restaurants in the area. Very fast service!

The incredible, edible egg! I love you, in all your different tasty forms. I love you sunny side up, over easy, poached, and of course, cooked as an omelet. This was an impromptu, super early breakfast destination. My friends and I were walking down Dearborn St. at around 2:15am (Don't ask, don't tell). I was just saying that I had the early morning munchies, and my friend pointed across the street. The neon sign read "Open 24 Hours" and it was on! This place is bright, and its friggin' HUUUUUUGEEE!!! It felt like one of those breakfast places that you would find on the strip in Las Vegas, except way less cheesier. We found a nice round table to accommodate all 6 of us. One of my friends ate here before, and he said that the omelets were good, so I trusted the man. I perused thru the menu, and decided on the Mile High Omelet (Denver Omelet). I don't even remember what my friends ordered, except we had a fight about who wants pancakes, and who wants toast. I can write this review with a clear conscience since none of us were inebriated. I think Marty McFly placed our orders from the future because our dishes came out pronto! We even stood up to look at how many cooks they had back there, it was that damn fast. My omelet was gigantic, and I didn't waste any time sending it down the gullet. The omelet was prepared very well, and the bits of diced ham, green peppers, and onions were scrumptious. We all ordered omelets, except for somebody who shall remain nameless, who ordered a Cheeseburger!?!?! What a strange, strange, man he is...but that's another story. We were all in agreement that the food was quite good! I will be back here several more times I feel, since I love me some eggs, and I love me some breakfast. This place is clean, bright (at night), great service, and the bathroom was majestic! I don't know why I felt the need to share that last bit of info, but I just wanted to. This is my new breakfast spot in downtown Chicago. All hail, the incredible, edible egg!!!

Tom K.

This was the only breakfast we had in our four days in Chicago. Awesome, to say the least. I only have one recommendation, the omelets are huge; you could share one of these monsters! For only three eggs it was the size of an average mans head! Good stuff

I came here during the weekend few weeks ago and it was packed and the line was so long. So this time I came here on a Tue morning. Just few people here. I shared a farm stand frittata and a Yummy In Your Tummy French Toast with a friend. I think the frittata was ok. It was good but I felt it was a little bit dry and I didn't like the taste of the cheese on the top. Besides, the hash brown was so dry and parched. I didn't finish them at all. BUT, the french toast was good. The strawberry went well with the chocolate dressings. I think it was much better than my frittata. Maybe I am not a fan of frittata or their skillet or omelette maybe better.

A nice, large breakfast place in River North. I paid about $10 for 4 smallish sausage, 2 eggs, and sliced tomatoes. A pretty good meal, but for what I paid it wasn't great. Other menu options such as the omelletes and pancake options look awesome. Ther service was pretty good, and they keep plenty of newspapers handy for you to read. Look forward to going back.

I love eggsperience! Great really casual brunch/breakfast spot. You get so much for your money. I usually get the veggie omlette with egg whites which comes with hash browns and choice of pancakes or toast. I mean, does it get much better than that. And if you ask they will make your eggs with PAM for some extra heart health. Love it!

Sarah F.

The biggest thing to tell you about this place--HUGE portions! No really, I read it in other reviews, but I still wasn't prepared for the absolutely gargantuan servings. Do me a favor, and unless you have the appetite of an Olympian, split something or you'll feel really bad for wasting so much food. OK, that said, the food is really good! I got the 'farmstand frittata' (substituted turkey sausage for the bacon) with a side of hash browns and pancakes (that all comes with for the same price, by the way). The frittata was really well prepared and delicious, but probably would ask for 'light' cheese top next time because it was a lot. This thing looked like it could serve a family of four, so I could really only finish a small portion of it because I also wanted to eat the 2 small pancakes that came with it. The hash browns were pretty forgettable, so I didn't waste much stomach space on those. There was a wait on Sunday morning around 10am, which we expected, but we only waited about 20 minutes with a party of 6. The interior is really bright and cheery, if a bit cavernous, but the wait staff is so harried that service can be a bit slapdash. Prices are extremely reasonable, particularly for the quantity of food. Last note--this place is open 24 hours, so great for those breakfast-at-any-time lovers.

I have been here four times now and each time it has gotten worse. My omelet today was so over cooked and the pancakes were horrible. I feel like they rush the food to keep the wait short. Focus more on quality please.

Matthew S.

Had brunch here today. I wouldn't recommend the crepes here, but I tasted my wife's eggs bennie (a modified one, not the original) and that was delicious. I'm deducting an extra star because the wait was much longer than quoted. If there was no line, I would eat here again, if there's a line... not worth it.

Don't go to Mc D's after a big night out, please. Trust me, this place wont make you feel sick or 2 pounds heavier the next morning. A never ending list of omelettes and everything 'egg'. Highly recommended for egg lovers, after a big night out. This is no gourmet spot so watch out for the portions- they are huge, so please share your food!

Oh Eggsperience....you had me me at Eggs...and open 24hours. Your menu provides an abundance of options for the hungry, the hungover and even the weary passer by. Breakfast, lunch or dinner you have it all and within a 20min walking distance from home to boot!!! Hello tasty neighbor...well, sorta. Went here with a bunch of friends after watching the World Cup at a local bar and had no problem getting a table for 5 people within 10 minutes...not bad for weekend brunch. They don't take reservations, so we had our name on the waiting list. Quick and easy. They seemed to be well organized and kept things moving along. We ended up sitting in the back (right near the TV) and I had not realized how big the place actually was...a little deceiving from the outside. We got water right away and ordered smoothies....YUMMMMM!!!! Cool, tasty, smooth and refreshing fruity heaven...we tried the berry one and the mango and they were both great and a good size for the money. In terms of food here is what our table ordered: Oven Baked Apple Pancake - Dense, hot, sweet and tasty. Crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. A little bit on the dry side for me compared to Walker Brothers...but no apple pancake compares to theirs!! Overall it was good and we weren't disappointed. Eleni's Egg White Delight - Fluffy, delicious and HUGE omelet filled with fresh spinach, mushrooms, roasted red peppers and low fat mozzarella, served with a small side of fresh fruit. These were the best egg whites, veggies and cheese (combined) I ever had!! It was super sized and super tasty. Both my fiance and I were impressed and would get this again in a heartbeat...mmmmm....just thinking about it makes me drool just a tad bit... The Traditional Bennie - Looked very tasty and covered in hollandaise sauce. This came with hash browns and our friend was pretty satisfied. Fresh Strawberry crepes - 3 crepes on the plate that looked a little heavier than normal crepes...more like the kind they make in Europe, and were filled with sweet, bright red berries. Our friends have ordered this dish a number of times and love it... I think our other friend had eggs as well, but I can't remember what he had...he said it was good though. Sorry... All-in-all a very pleasant eggsperience that met and even eggceeded my eggspectations!! HA!!! We will definitely be back to try some of the other goodies on their menu!! So go and enjoy!!

I read Colleen C.'s review and went there as soon as I could. My search for a no frills breakfast place is over!!! Reasons: because this place is clean, bright, large(many tables), nice menu with lots of items to choose from, your own coffee and water pitcher at your table. We had chorizo scramble and the lox scramble with the fruit as a side instead of potatoes. Both plates were of good quality, and I don't have superlatives to describe them, come on, these are just egg scrambles. But what is worth mentioning is that the eggs were not overcooked, there are lots of vegetables in the scranble and the side of fruit is not mushy at all. I will never have to go to Temple again! Thank you, Eggspereince.

I like the convenience. Any place that is opened 24 hours is shit-awesome to me. The menu is expansive and portions were huge. They have all sorts of espresso and smoothie drinks and fresh OJ. Great addition to river north/downtown. Servers were nice and polite. Only thing was I didn't like the crepes. They were too 'eggy'.. really tasted more like thin omelets than crepes. I tried my friend's corned beef hash and they were awesome. I would come back for that or something other than crepes.

I came here for brunch on a Saturday around 11am. We had the option of waiting for a few minutes or just eating at the bar. We ended up taking the bar seats. However, a ten minute wait on a Saturday in Streeterville, that's just awesome! The menu is very expansive with plenty of good options to try. I went with the hash along with a side of pancakes. It was pretty good. Not the best hash I've ever had but certainly not the worst. The waitress was pretty cool and hooked us up with coffee refills. Solid brunch option off the Mag mile!

Colleen W.

We were in the city for an overnight stay and decided to try this place for breakfast. Upon entering, we were greeted warmly and seated promptly. Our waitress was Mary, she was very upbeat and energetic for such a busy morning. She was very refreshing compared to many other waiters and waitresses. I ordered coffee and orange juice. The orange juice is freshly squeezed and you can taste the difference in the glass. For my breakfast, I ordered the 2 egg plate with hash browns and my man ordered a vegetable skillet. Both meals were delicious. I was quite pleased with the lack of grease in the hash browns. (The worst is when hash browns come out with a pool of grease underneath.) Just for this, I would come back here. The skillet was also good (especially with the lack of grease). The only disappointing factor I had was that we were told that they have "huge" portions, but I found their portions to be smaller than other breakfast places I have been to. I am not complaining about a small portion size, I for one, was able to finish my plate. I just think that they shouldn't be telling people that they have such a large portion size when compared to other places they do not.

I went there with my boyfriend for the first time and we were both extremely pleased. Because it was 7:30am when we went, I'm not sure what it's like when it's busy, but early in the morning it was GREAT! The staff was extremely friendly, efficient, and made great suggestions on the menu, which I always enjoy when eating somewhere new. I'm an extremely picky eater and there were 3 items on the menu I would eat, which literally never happens. I didn't even have to make any modifications to my meal. Needless to say, I was beyond happy to cut out the "I hope they don't screw up my meal" anxiety I tend to get when eating out. The only complaint I have is the price-- my egg white omelet was $15.00. I know egg white are more expensive, but that's by far the most expensive omelet I've ever eaten. It was also massive. I probably ate 1/3 of it and could barely walk home from breakfast because I was so full. If you're starving, I'd say give the omelet a shot and let me know if you finish it. I will truly be impressed. My boyfriend got a traditional egg breakfast dish with a side of pancakes. He requested the pancakes to be chocolate chip and the waiter not only obliged his request per no extra charge, but he told them they were excellent and he wouldn't be disappointed. He was extremely pleased with his meal and loved the pancakes. We also both really appreciated the fact that we could pay "up at the front," which reduced time sitting at the table waiting for the check. We love our breakfast, but we'd also like to get on with our day. All in all: go to Eggspereience! Service is fantastic, menu is huge so you'll always find something that you like, and you're not stuck sitting at the table all day waiting for your check.

Eggsperience should be asked to cater all peace talks across the world. How could any groups of people not get along over a big plate of these fabulous pancakes? Who wouldn't want to hug their enemy after the heavenly dish called The Butcher's Choice Bennie? As a devout breakfast lover, I found everything to be simply delightful. The service is quick and friendly, without a lot of extra selling and useless chit-chat. The atmosphere is bright and clean--exactly what a breakfast diner should be. The food, most importantly, is hearty and wholesome. When you're looking for a good breakfast for the family or friends in River North, definitely put this place at the top of your list. For that matter, it's pretty much perfect for satisfying those cravings for biscuits and gravy at three in the afternoon. Don't act like you've never experienced that.

Disclaimer: I am not fond of diners. That said, you should probably take my eggsperience with a grain of salt. I stupidly ordered the wheat grass detox shot... I suppose all detox drinks are supposed to taste nasty, but I was sick and so I was hoping that it'd help me. I still don't know if it did me any good. I wasn't very hungry so I ordered soup. The server gave me a choice of lentil soup or chicken noodle soup. I ordered the lentil soup. It was decent. Then I ate some of my friend's hash brown. They were decent too. Overall, the food seemed decent, but that's what I expect from a diner. The female restrooms were also clean, which is always good. The place is open 24 hours, and I'd say that I would probably prefer this place over any Denny's or IHOPs.

Corinne W.

I would not come back here! I like most every breakfast centered place and am not picky but my whole wheat pancakes tasted like the milk they used was sour or something. They were awful. The space isn't very clean and very large, so it's not very personal at all. It feels like a factory. You would've thought the prices would have been a lot cheaper. Chicago has so many wonderful breakfast spots (Tempo, Orange, Ina's, Yolk) -- don't waste your time on this one!

Nikolay S.

I used to like this place a lot but the more I went there the worse my eggsperience got.. First, if u r not careful u might end up with a lot bigger portion than u imagined. For example the egg white special is this mountain of omelette. I prefer the eggs Benedict as it is one of the few normal size meals. Second, on a positive size, the coffee is good and you get all u want. Fresh juices are nice too.

Nicole U.

BIG PORTIONS. I had the "cook's calling" with pancakes. It was delicious & served promptly. I also had a strawberry orange drink, however, I wasn't too fond of it due to seeds/pulp, etc.. They also have this Ghirardelli dark chocolate iced coffee drink that is just sooo good! & I don't even like dark chocolate.

Eggsperience might be great for you if you're a fat Midwestern tourist with dull taste buds, but I'm not sure why everyone else gave it four stars. We were hungry. We wanted brunch at 10 am on a Tuesday, and my brother wanted steak and eggs, so we did a little Yelping to pinpoint a spot. Eggsperience was definitely an experience. The environment is sterile, the tables were falling apart, and our coffee cups were dirty. We struggled to find our waitress throughout the meal. The food took forever and arrived cold, but at that point we were too hungry to send it back. On top of that, the food was barely edible - my brother's medium rare steak was tough as rubber, my omelette was full of so much cheese I couldn't get it to my mouth, and my mom's poached eggs were, well, cold. No thanks.

Have only been here one time for brunch....other times are late night. Eggsperience has a pretty big menu, is always clean, and wait staff is friendly. Prices are reasonable (it is Chicago after all). Very casual, but people are usually all dressed up during after hours. Haven't had a bad meal yet...and the portions are big! I typically get a skillet and their pancakes are yummy! Would recommend for brunch or late night.

Absolutely horrific food. Because of the stupidly unclever name I was actually excited to try this place all week! When I finally got there it was the biggest let down ever. My omelette was not an omelette but a scramble that had been formed into omelette shape. (I thought this was supposed to be an EGG place!) Hasbrown were nearly burnt and super greasy. On top of that, my omelette tasted so horrible and had so many jalapenos in it that I literally felt sick for the rest of the day and completely regretted going there. Never again.

Heather H.

Let me let you in on a little secret... I think the chef is into S&M because they beat the living shite out of those eggs so much, I almost expected them to come donning a leather harness. This omelet was the biggest, fluffiest, most flavorful egg white omelet I've ever tasted. They should just change the name from "Eleni's Egg White Delight omelet" to "Mistress Eleni will beat you into eggy submission, and you will delightfully worship her omelet". It's good. Trust me. They also let you substitute fruit for potatoes for no extra charge. Warning! Don't run when you see a line! This places turns tables around quickly, (without rushing you) as there are a ton of tables in the back. We got there early and I needed coffee. You know that feeling when you need it now and you just can't wait? (Yes, I'm talking about coffee, geez people!) Oh, Eggsperience leaves the coffee pots on the tables? Why thank you very much! Prices are very reasonable for the portions you get, and our server was awesome. She kept checking back to make sure we didn't need more coffee in the pot, and when we got the check, she asked if we needed to-go cups. We took advantage, and she didn't just let us refill from our old coffee pot, but instead brought out piping hot fresh coffee to go. THAT is some serious service. Either that, or we looked like we just dragged our butts out of bed and looked really tired. I'm hoping for the former. Mistress Eleni, I'm in love! You give good egg.

Allie B.

My husband and I made a rash decision to go to brunch last Saturday (instead of me going to my boxing class....whatevs....) and we picked Eggsperience because it is in very close proximity to Marina City. For a Saturday morning (around 10:45a), it wasn't horribly crowded. We had phenomenal service throughout, and a great experience. The atmosphere is simple and sunny, which was a perfect contrast to my residual hangover (just being real here). As for the food: I would have given three stars, seeing as I was not the biggest fan of my Monte Cristo (awful meat to bread ratio---and the French Toast was more like scrambled egg toast) but I LOVED my white mocha frappe (54,332 calories of coffee goodness) as well as my "gourmet" hashbrowns. The Rand man had strawberry cheesecake pancakes and I know he was in love. We'll definitely be back soon!

After venturing around looking for a different spot we stumbled upon eggsperience. We are glad we did!! There was a crazy line , but we were seated within minutes, even though we were told 20 mins. The waitress was great taking time to take our order and asking out kids what they names were. What's was ordered. I had the egg white omelette, the best I have had !! Portions are very big so share if you can or you can take it home. I also had the 9 grain French toast.. This I didn't like , just not for me.. My son had the strawberry crepes , fresh strawberries and whipped cream! Omg delicious ! My daughter had the kids pancakes, chocolate chip and cream, delish!!! There was like 6 mini pancakes , again to many for a child , you could share . My husband had the skirt steak and eggs , he says tempo still has them beat on the steaks. They had the best pancakes ever!! Did I mention the best fluffy egg white omelette. Will be back !! And please try it out

My first trip was this past Sunday. I was excited because I love crepes. I got there about 2pm after a busy morning. I walked in and you could tell they had a busy morning by all the dirt at the doorway that was in the process of being mopped. Fine. I walked carefully. I was seated and looked over the menu which is quite large for breakfast. Great, a big choice because I'm picky. I was a bit disappointed because the crepe dishes all looked a bit sweet and I prefer a bit of spinach and mushrooms or chicken with mine or just a bit of berries. They did have a berry crepe, but I guess I wasn't in the mood for sweet. I ordered the potato pancakes which I grew up eating, and they're great with applesauce, which is how I ordered them. they came and I got 4 pancakes, more than enough, but 1 itty bitty little plastic cup of applesauce. That was good enough for maybe one pancake. So I waited and waited until the server came back to ask for more. As I waited and my pancakes got cool, I watched as they continued to mop all the way back into the server station. I watched as everyone walked very carefully so as not to fall, but it was really slippery as was evidence by a server that slipped and fell. All the other servers laughed. Not so funny, I thought. Where was the management? I finally got the servers attention and said, "I'll need a more applesauce than just this cup. I'll need a small bowl if you don't mind." He came back with 3 little cups. I ate 2 more pancakes and I had had enough. Nothing special, but certainly they need better management and better service skills or at least my server did.

This is my first review and I've enjoyed all my experiences at this restaurant EXCEPT for the fact that they need to re-think their French toast offering. I ordered the old fashioned French toast and they brought a huge plate...with four tiny half slices and that is it. I actually had to ask the server "is this right?" because when you look at all the other plates around you all you see are huge portions and quantities of food. Needless to say I was very unhappy paying $7+ for four tiny half slices, was able to eat them in about 60 seconds, and was hugely disappointed. I did complain to the manager and he was very understanding but honestly it is the first time I have ever left that restaurant still hungry. I do recommend the place for any other dish, just do NOT order the French toast as you are sure to feel as underwhelmed by the portion size as i was...the egg orders are enormous so i recommend those instead. The restaurant should really make the french toast have 6 half pieces in that instead, or maybe offer it in two different size portions, or better yet make it a combo with eggs and bacon as most breakfast places do offer that type of thing. One last thing is that the menu did not say how many pieces you get so that is something they should fix as well...if it had said four half pieces I never would have ordered it in the first place.

The manager & front desk girl were not accomodating for a group of 11. They hemmed & hawed over seating. Refused to seat us until the entire party arrived. Geez! We ultimately got seated at two separate tables but we were able to shout over at each other. And the super waiter made up for the front desk fiasco. I though the food was not too bad but people in our group who ordered pancakes & said it was dry. Others felt that the omelette was better at West Egg Cafe. They serve 12 different loose teas, which was interesting. But the Corned beef hash was very good. If not for the waiter, the front desk experience would have ruined our meal.

Really fast food. Very good service. Had the french toast with apples and pecans and it was delicious. Their orange juice if fresh squeezed. Its a little spendy, but you really get your money's worth.

The amount of food this place gives you makes me want to throw up. Actually just thinking about it makes me want to throw up. We normally love big portions, but this place has taken it to the extreme. We got 2 eggs scrambled, came with hash browns and toast. The amount of food that came out looked like it was for 3 portions, there was no way that was 2 eggs, looked more like 7! The amount of food was just overwhelming, it looked like we didn't even touch our food! We also had the omelette with hash browns and pancakes. The price you pay for this amount of food is a great deal, however next time we were prefer a higher quality lunch and would be willing to pay more to get that.

Eggsperience is clean, its servers are attentive and the food on offer is good. I don't believe for a moment that the portions are too large as some have been heard to complain here on Yelp. If the prices here were 35-40% lower, this place would be a solid four-star restaurant.

Excellent. Quick, painless. Perfect diner experience. Hopefully it lasts. Last place like this was Cambridge house. This is equal to, or better

I went to this place on a Saturday night for dinner...I know, who goes to a diner on a Saturday night? But I for one, LOVE breakfast for dinner and I haven't found tons of places in Chicago that have this option. Luckily my friend was up for a very casual meal and we had a nice walk to Ontario Street. Not surprisingly, the large restaurant was pretty much empty. The interior is very bright and friendly, just what I expect of a diner type restaurant. I knew I was going to get an omelet because I love them but usually find them to be too much for breakfast and I prefer a sweet option in the morning. I got Eleni's egg white omelet which had spinach, roasted red peppers, mushrooms, and mozzarella. It also came with my preferred sides (wheat toast and fruit). It was AMAZING. And it was HUGE. I can't believe I ate the whole thing (actually I can because it was so good and egg whites are healthy, right?) Service was fast (well duh it should be when you are the only diners...). I would definitely go back for any meal of the day. There were TONS of options and plenty of healthy choices too, which I tend to prefer for brunch anyways. I am guessing there is a bit more of a wait on the weekends, but I'd be willing to do so. And I will also mention that I have very high standards for breakfast/brunch since I waitressed in a brunch spot one summer that was amazing.

It's open 24 hours, so you can always enjoy it! I loveeee the breakfast panini... but I make some changes to it (egg whites and wheat toast). The omelets are HUGE, it's pretty well priced, and right in the middle of the city. It has something for everyone.

Yuck! First visit we sent a scrambler back to the kitchen. It was undercooked and extremely oily...as if they added oil to the egg mixture. Came out as bad the second time so settled for a plain scrambled egg. Server was nice and didn't charge for it. Since the place has lots of good reviews decided maybe eggsperience was unusual, so went back a week later and tried the fritata. Came out well done on the outside and runny and disgusting on the inside. Their grill must have been too hot...and they must use processed butter spray...it was also very oily. Didn't eat it, but they made me pay for it anyhow. The cashier said 'that's how they make the food.'. So I walked away hungry and poorer. Never again!

Holy smokes! Best breakfast in Chicago on this trip! Omelettes are huge and two kids can share. Crepes are out of this world. Fresh squeezed orange juice is a treat. Open 24 hours a day and a nice, comfortable stop for a satisfying meal.

Sometimes you just stumble on something and it's a gem! Well, after walking thru that famous two story MccDonald's just two blocks from Eggsperience, my daughter and I were on a hunt for breakfast, and I saw Eggsperience, remembered it had been well reviewed. Well, here I am writing my first ever review on Yelp for eggsperience, it was that good. I had the vegie crepes, with hollandaise type sauce, and it was awesome, not your typical breakfast item. Daughter went with the Greek omelet (too many olives for her taste) I would have liked it . DId I mention how HUGE The portions were! UNREAL! Three large crepes- could only eat two. And, my Daughter and I laughed about how many eggs were in her omelet- ummmm looked like 6! It was huge- no kidding. Wasn't the cheapest breakfast around, but the decor, cleanliness, cute nice hostesses all made this memorable. Thanks for the wonderful "eggs perience" ................

This is my second review .I love this place. It's my fab place in Chicago for breakfast. There waffles n pancakes r melt in ur mouth kind. I frequent the Ontario st n naperville one . My only n huge gripe with em n the reason of giving them only one star was . The guy in charge of seating guests , Wrote down our names n completely forgot bout US .n seated a dozen ppl that came after us. Whenever he noticed us he was like oh sorry u guys weren't seated n said ur next n forgot all bout US conveniently . Most awful experience ever. That happened thrice. While we just stood there he kept seating other people ignoring us .not sure he did that to us purposely or was just ignorant . I will never go back or recommend this place to anyone just cuz of the customer service n the bad way we were treated . Food was nice but nobody wants a sour taste in their mouth cuz of being ill treated first then asked to enjoy there breakfast . We weren't even apologized to or giving a concession or appreciation for our patience . The incident was completely ignored . How polite rite. Awful awful experience . I must say . Save ur pride ppl n head over to bongo room or various other breakfast/ brunch places .

i was there tonight w/three of my coworkers. of the four of us, three of the orders were messed up in some shape or form. two of us got dishes we did not order, and one of us got the wrong side. what was the most frustrating is that the server NOR the manager apologized or seemed to care that we were unhappy w/the service we received. i had to basically refuse to pay my bill because the server didn't seemed too inclined to correct his own mistakes, so i had to do it for him. i can handle a slight mess-up in the kitchen, what i do not tolerate is when the establishment denies or ignores it. i will go to this place again, only because it is open 25 hours and is located near a bunch of late-night bars. i will not, however, go in again sober like i did tonight. maybe if i was intoxicated, i wouldn't have cared as much. that's pretty bad when a restaurant creates customers who will only eat there when wasted.

Breakfast at its finest in Chicago. HUGE portions and every bite is so good! This is a "must" stop for us when we are in the city on vacation. you cannot go wrong with anything on their menu, everything is delicious!

Shitty eggsperience! My omelette was a weird football shaped blob of under cooked eggs, the ham in the omelette tasted very off and the hashbrowns were burnt on the outside and undercooked underneath. Overpriced too. Complete waste of money and was left very unsatisfied. Do not recommend at all.

Matthew M.

Really just an awful eggsperience. The eggs were undercooked in my Protein omelette, which was 10 parts cheese to 1 part chicken =\ The pancakes were dope I guess.

Justin R.

Meh. Could have been way better. Got the "frittata" (which is actually a scramble but whatever) and the eggs weren't cooked all the way, and was just a mess of things. Toast was not toast, and coffee was just meh as well. Our server was prompt and friendly, however. Cool for that. Definitely not the worst, but in this city, there are about 5,000 spots wherever you are that is easily much better.

I love to find a good breakfast/brunch spot, especially while traveling. This one will be short and sweet because frankly, there's not much to discuss. Eggperience is not that great; I requested a blueberry pancake with tons of blueberries. It arrived with about 5 berries. I sent it back and was given the explanation that the cook does not like to add too many berries because the pancake may burn. To this I say, "DO NOT A COOK IF YOU CAN NOT COOK!" I fixed this by ordering a plain pancake (against my will). The veggie omelet was huge, I ate it over 2 settings. It's actually an egg white fritatta though. Service was decent, price was steep for what I received. I will not be returning for another disappointing Eggperience. Regards, Christy

On par with Wildberry (my standard for breakfast/brunch places), great tasting food, large portions, reasonable prices, and solid service. Chorizo burrito was delicious and not oily like chorizo can be. Caramelized apple pecan crepes were sweet, but not too sweet, with a robust flavor. Country Bennie plated well, but the hollandaise sauce is a bit bland and the red peppers couldn't carry the flavor on their own. Protein omelet the peak of healthiness, and also the peak of fluffiness. They used only 3 egg whites but it was the largest omelet I've ever had with lots of air whipped in. Chicken tasted good but too much air made my stomach feel a bit uneasy (like I had to burp but couldn't). Side of fruit was small, but still healthier than the side of hash browns. Pancakes solid. Fresh fruit juice is fresh but quite expensive.

Decent downtown breakfast option: large portions, fair prices, healthy options available. The acai smoothie is huge, fresh, and filling. BF got the veggie skillet with a short stack and side of fruit, and it was enough for both of us. Sit at the bar for the best service, as well as your own water pitcher. Service was really polite but seemed to be under the influence of something (glazed eyes, a little spacey).

Poached eggs done until the yolks are VERY hard? That's a complete failure at breakfast 101. Rye toast, but the bread isn't toasted? A giant glob of rubbery cheese hidden under my eggs (on top of the corned beef skillet). Flavors of the spicy southwest Benny are very good. Very hot. Corned beef is just OK. The server was nice enough and attended to the over-poached eggs (who does that?) immediately. For the cost, would not return. Would not recommend.

Love this place!! I've been a few times, but most recently came on a Sunday morning and although it was busy I was seated immediately. Coffee was poured along with a pitcher of water which was on point. I ordered the Chicken and Sweet Potato Waffles, AMAZING!!!! Everything was what I wanted and more! Plus they give you to go cups for your coffee! My go to breakfast place in Chicago!

The only reason I'm giving two stars vs one is because the service was pretty good. The food however, tasted like cardboard. Save your $40 and eat some pop tarts instead.

A Solid Eggsperience! If you've never eggsperienced Eggsperience Pancakes & Cafe in downtown Chicago, IL you should go eggsperience it. It's similar to my fave breakfast joint downtown, Yolk in that it offers an array of egg dishes, waffles & pancakes & a yummy-looking lunch menu too. Like Yolk, you can also get any of the egg dishes made with egg whites or beaters at no extra charge, kudos! However, the egg dishes here are served with a side of hash browns & your choice of toast or side of 2 pancakes but fruit isn't an option like at Yolk, boo! On my most recent visit, I built my own scrambler made with egg whites, mushrooms, spinach & green peppers. You don't get quite as much portion-wise & it's not quite as fluffy & light as Yolk's egg white scramblers. But it was still good & tasty, just a lil heavier. I asked my server if I could swap out the hash browns for sweet potato fries & she said "that sounds like a good idea!" These guys were straight-laced without any unwanted sugary-coating (yay!), but they were just kinda lacking flavor-wise & were too soft without any crispiness on the edges. Not the best or worst SPFs ever but I gotta massive portion, no short-changing on SPFs at Eggsperience! I also upgraded to the Berry Berry pancakes as my other side option which is blueberries, strawberries & raspberries cooked in the batter with granola & powdered sugar sprinkled on top. (I dusted off the granola & sugar, didn't want that!) The 2 cakes were light, fluffy & berrylicious! The best part about Eggsperience is that you get your own pitcher of hot, 100% organic coffee (don't get that at Yolk)! I love not waiting on coffee refills & having carafes of orgemic, hot coffee at my disposal! All in all, Eggsperience is one of my fave breakfast places in downtown Chicago aside from Yolk. I've never had a less than yummy breakfast here & service is fast, efficient & accommodating. (The ginormous, vegetarian egg white omelette is another really good dish here.) In my opinion, Eggsperience is not quite as trendy or eggsellent as Yolk, but you'll definitely enjoy the coffee & have a gemlicious breakfast & overall great Eggsperience.

FANTASTIC!!! Best omelette I have ever had!! They make them French style so they are huge, fluffy, flavorful! There is never a long wait and the coffee is to die for. Also, they serve a really great turkey sausage, pancakes, French toast, and Benedict! You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Best of all, they leave a coffee pot with you on your table so you always have access to their fantastic brew!

Vincent M.

I was looking for a breakfast place and I seen this place was close to where I was staying and was busy which usually means it's got good food. I ordered the strawberry fest crepes. They where ok. There was just way to much filling in them and it that took away from the dish. I took a bite and all I could taste was filling no crepe. Like I said the place was really busy so my server never made it to my table to refill my drink or get me the condiments I needed.

Sue Anne C.

My husband and I came here for the first time today. Our server was extremely nice. He ordered an omelet and I got the egg white omelet - it turns out I don't like egg whites, so that wasn't too great for me. Also not sure if it was supposed to be brown or if it was overcooked. The pancakes were good. If I came back I would definitely order the normal omelet.

Fine breakfast place in an area that seems to have no shortage of them. Actually out of the three places we went to in the area (Yolk and Meli CafÃ© being the other two) this is the one that we only went to only once on account of it being the one that my wife liked least for some reason and me considering it a three-way draw and not really having a strong preference. I actually wish we had tried it a second time because the menu was quite vast and impressive looking. A large menu of course isn't always a good thing (often the opposite) but in the case of breakfast places, I don't find that to be the case. I like going to a place I trust and a place that gives me different things to try! I went with the Huevos Rancheros and they were quite good. Lots of cheesy, eggy, beany goodness. Good coffee but I wasn't a fan of the odd and way too pulpy mango juice. Oh well, skip that next time. My wife went with your standard Corned Beef Hash & Eggs (over easy). She seemed to like it just fine (so far as I can recall) but I guess just wasn't blown away. Maybe it's the fact that she was bound to be underwhelmed given the fact that she had a fancy omelette the day before or my sneaky suspicion that she was a little miffed that the other places had the fancier, frou-frou tea that she likes and Eggsperience didn't. Oh well. Would certainly go back and will definitely do so next time we're in town.

I've been here twice recently and I have to say this place is definitely growing on me. I had an omelette the last time, it was hugs and very delicious! I ordered the Mona vie juice that they had on the menu - it also did not disappoint. This past weekend I had the avocado chicken sandwich, it came on a pretzel bun which was a nice surprise. I got it with a side of fruit but they do give you some fries options. The coffee was particularly delicious, I ordered a skin latte.. Super hot and perfect flavor (in a cool mug too)! I later tried a leftover chicken wrap... That's when I knew that yep definitely the new easy breakfast spot. Definitely good for groups and kids! Not fancy but definitely delicious and convenient for a day in the neighborhood.

If having access to copious amounts of food is your thing, then maybe this is your place. Check out the other reviews - the seem to focus on HOW MUCH FOOD is brought to the table. Maybe volume isn't the only thing that matters. To be fair, my Farmer's Benedict was adequately prepared. And it was tasty. But, they are using store-bought bread and a hollandaise mix. And, by building the benedict with the tomato directly on the muffin, then you are left with a soggy muffin before it even hits your table. But, the rest of it was fine. Hash browns were terrible. Dry and tasteless. And the tea pots dribble everywhere. Restaurant was crowded and filled largely with tourists. Servers seemed exhausted and unhappy. It was NOT a leisurely way to start a day -- kind of like eating at Denny's, frankly. But, if you are visiting town, especially if you have kids, this is a nice, accessible, reasonably priced place to go to start the day. If you are looking for quality food and quality service, I'd skip here. There are WAY better breakfasts even within the same block.

With all the options in Chicago, this was one of the least impressive places I've been to. Service was pitiful.. our server was so unfriendly. Really put a bad taste in my mouth even before I ate my sub-par omelette. I ordered the egg-white omelette which was, yes, gigantic.. bigger than my head... but there's no point in making something that big if it doesn't taste good. One of the people I was with got the breakfast burrito - it had jalapenos in it and I swear, whoever cut the jalapenos had no idea how to chop because the pieces were huge. Basically inedible. Coffee was good, and I did like the no-frills atmosphere... just wish that the food and service would have been better.

Tourist trap: do avoid. Packed house. The staff appeared undertrained and poorly directed, resulting in many mistakes, waits, and dead time for customers. They ran around trying to compensate with pure rushing, causing a palpably frustrated atmosphere. The food was basic, and unremarkable. Bland coffee. Greasy, soft home fries. The bread was out of a bag. I assume this establishment will exist in its prime location because enough tourists will come through for that one time. But you can empower yourself. Do avoid.

Silas G.

So where do I start... Three gentlemen, myself included, sat down at a table in this establishment on a Saturday afternoon. We were hungry, plain and simple. We ordered two menu items each, only problem with that is the waitress challenged our abilities to devour food. This was uncalled for. That's ok because the food was downright funkalicious, and I mean that in a good way. Eggsxellent eggsperience, great waitress. My only other complaint is the quality of their orange peels was sub par, I've eaten better. But overall a great eggsperience!!!! Also a shoutout to j dog for buying my meal.

Ace R.

We went to this place at around 3 am last night and let me tell you this place was a letdown. The burger was pretty nasty and it was under cooked and the meat was tasteless. The burger was a joke. The French toast was pretty sad as well. They had very unusual characters working here on the overnight shift as well and most of them (except our server) looked pissed off. Save your $ and go somewhere else with quality food because there are plenty of better options out there for late night/super early brunch food!

Corine M.

We were looking for a diner type breakfast place decided to try it based on yelp reviews and the location was close to our hotel. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't mind blowing either. Average right in the middle 3.5/5. The place was busy on a Saturday morning but we got a table for two right away. I did greatly appreciate the pitcher of tap water left at our table as well as the coffee pot. I hate waiting for water refills and I like to control my coffee sugar, cream ratios. I had the Nutella strawberry French toast which I ending up sharing with my husband but there wasn't enough Nutella so when he got my second piece of French toast there was hardly any on it. Appreciated the whipped butter vs the cold hard butter slabs. My husband had some meaty eggs Benedict thing with hash browns. Average. Service was decent some young guy who didn't have to worry about coffee or water refills. Lol. All in all wouldn't be my go to spot when I'm in town.

Enjoyed breakfast at Eggsperience. The place was crowded, but we didn't have to wait for a table. Service was quick too. I had the Yummy in your Tummy French Toast, which is French toast with Nutella and strawberries on top. I thought it was pretty good. I also ordered a side of eggs (cause let's face it, egg is in the name of the place) and thought they were very good. Definitely will be back here when I'm back in Chicago so that I can try another dish from their menu.

Lisi Z.

Where to I start, positive- our waitress was very nice, understanding, and sympathetic. That's where it ends. Was with a group of 5 friends, I ordered a create your own egg thing and got mozzarella, pesto, tomato- I asked in advance if they had pesto and got the all clear- not the case, I guess the chefs thought it was appropriate to put pesto mayonnaise as a replacement (what a combo) toast was hard as a rock, i clonked it on my plate a few times, potatoes tasted like they had been sitting out for a day and re-heated. An "eggsperience" I could do without

Gerry S.

The great thing about breakfast is it's pretty difficult to mess up for me. As long as you're providing hearty portions of the staples, I'm going to leave fat(ter) and happy. And in that respect, the Eggsperience delivers. Plenty of standard egg dishes, omelettes, breakfast meats, and pancakes all hitting the right notes and being completely tasty in my belly. I'm always a fan of a place that serves potato pancakes, and these were among my favorites in that genre - thin, crisp and oniony. As good as they were with the sour cream and applesauce, a bit of pancake syrup really made them sing in salty-sweet harmony. The price is a little on the high side for breakfast, but utterly reasonable for the neighborhood.

I don't know why, but when we arrived, I wanted Chorizo and eggs really badly and then I remembered that I wasn't in Southern California anymore and it might not be the same, but, I'll give it a try anyway. So I ordered the Chorizo Omelette which is a festive mix of chorizo, tomatoes, onions, pepper-Jack cheese and jalapeno. Sided with salsa and sour cream. I thought, wow, this would be AWESOME with corn tortillas, but alas, only flour was available. Overall, the omelette was OK, but I apologize, because my Southern California boy came out because it just didn't taste like the same as the breakfasts from a taqueria and the missing corn tortillas didn't help either. Maybe next time, I'll stick to the pancakes (which they seem to be popular for).

Jocelyn C.

Read about this place on here so I decided to give it a try on my last morning in Chicago. Best idea ever! Yelp really doesn't capture how extensive their menu is! I have to admit- I chose other places over this one because it seemed there wasn't much to choose from on their menu. Um, wrong! They have so many different things on their menu- scrambles, omelets, waffles, pancakes, fritattas, oatmeal, etc, and that's just BREAKFAST. They serve lunch as well with a good selection on different coffees and teas. I ordered the egg white omelet with a side of fruit and pancakes. Omg, bomb. First off, biggest omelet I've ever had in my life,but it's oven baked so it's super fluffy and lite. Mixed in where red peppers, spinach, mushroom, and mozzarella cheese. So yummy and flavorful. As for the pancakes, it came with two medium sized cakes with powdered sugar and syrup (you can always opt for the fancy cakes but I kept it simple) and they were so good as well. Definitely recco this spot and I'll be back for sure whenever I'm back in Chicago!

Kyle O.

Ordered 2 eggs, hash browns, pancakes, peach wood bacon. Wasn't really happy with the quality of the food. IHOP is better. I always add blueberries to my pancakes as well and every single place I've been too, they pile blue berries and give blueberry compote...eggspierence did not. Oh well...

I found Eggsperience via Yelp immediately upon touchdown at O'Hare airport on Monday. After arriving from Boston at 11:30 or so local time, my traveling companion and I were ravenous and craving some kind of diner. This one turned out to be a few blocks from our hotel and boasted good reviews, so immediately after checking in, we made our way to what we hoped would be the best Chicago breakfast experience ever. We were each feeling kinda adventurous and ordered huevos rancheros and the caliente--a spicy egg and chorizo wrap with hash browns on the side (see photo). I also grabbed a coffee, which was pretty watery and not great. As others note, the portions are huge, and we escaped for about $15/person including tip, and I was pretty stuffed all day. The food was fine quality but nothing to write home about. The service was friendly OH and I was psyched to snag those mints that get kinda chewy in your mouth on the way out. So that was a gift that kept on giving a bit.

The omelette was dry. The fruit cup of about 3 shriveled grapes and 2 pieces of pineapple were moldy when flipped over. The server forgot our orange juices and hash browns. The water glass had lipstick on the rim. I won't return unless it's Friday at 3 am and I'm wasted and desperate.

Say what you want about this place - I mean, a good breakfast is a good breakfast and mine was good (I had the mushroom & spinache skillet, light on the cheese. It was fresh and good. No nonsense. Why did I give it five stars? One, simple reason: my cappuccino. I've never really fancied myself a "foodie" or a "food snob" or anything. However, after my trip to Italy last year, to my horror, I've become a raging cappuccino snob. I couldn't help it. After returning from the land of delicious, creamy, not-too-frothy cappuccinos, the USA versions were bleah. Until today. My server, Daniela, made me the PERFECT cappuccino. Light froth, more creamy than airy. It was exactly - EXACTLY - the way they're made in Italy. I'll come here for the cappuccino alone. If you like authentic cappuccino (or want to know how they taste in Milan), go here and ask Daniela to make you one. For serious.

Been here twice following a night out on the town. 1st time had the cheese burger with a side of fries. For an after hours spot this was a great burger that stands out among other typical late night diners i.e. IHOP or Denny's. 2nd time wanted to behave a bit and had the egg white omelette with fajita chicken and a side of fruit. Put some hot sauce on it and hey was a unique tasting omelette in a good way =D I think if you're looking a place to eat after a nice night out in CHI this place won't disappoint you. Plenty of seating, spacious, and never had to wait too long to be served. My favorite after hour diner.

Poor Service and average food. I really was wishing for Eggsperience to be a great brunch place that I can come back to again and again. I have given it 4 tries and I have always left disappointed mainly by the lack of service and average food that doesn't make up for it. This includes one time when I couldn't order any coffee or tea as their expresso machine was down. I have also had the bus boy sit us on a table and not have anyone come serve us. After addressing that we have not had a server after 15 minutes, we didn't get one for another 15 mins. To top it off, there were no apologies and the service there after was below average. This place is few blocks from where I live, but I rather go to Wildberry!

I went here to tried the breakfast food with my best friend on a Saturday which I am utterly disappointed. The food was so bland and it didn't have no taste to it. The waitstaff wasn't attentive to our needs and we had to wait for awhile. The decor of the restaurant was mediocre and this place is in the heart of the river north area. I would not go back to this place because their are better breakfast places than this that I have gone to. I would definitely not recommend this place to others.

With 2 kids it's sometimes hard to accommodate everyone's appetite, but the breakfast here was awesome!!! The pancakes and French Toast had great flavor, the OJ was delicious, and the eggs were cooked perfectly.... Can't wait to come back!

First off, the waiter named Jesus was the sweetest and nicest waiter who has ever served me at a restaurant. He gave my family and I tips on what tastes good and what to get (since I live in CA and it was our first time). Also, it got really busy when we were there and he kept apologizing and tried to serve us as fast as he could. Overall, a considerate and funny man. If I was the manger, I would give him a promotion. Food- Without a doubt, the food was better than IHOP/Denny's. Would totally go there again. However, the food was kind of simple, so that's why I gave 4 stars.

Aside the overly aggressive, rude hostess (who is manager/owner possibly), the service was great. Our server, Lauren, took care of anything we requested and was terrific. Our omelettes were great. The beverage options here are unbelievable. Definitely want to come back and try the chilaquiles with their fresh salsa.

Excellent, just like the name! My husband and I were on Chicago for the weekend Fri thru Monday. We were staying at a hotel in walking distance and this place was recommended Friday morning. It was so good, much variety, clean, and friendly staff, that we ate here for breakfast three days ina row. FYI it gets busier around 10am and there can be a wait. We had no wait from 8-9am. We had everything from apple carmel pancakes, eggs Benedict, to scrambled eggs with added toppings. It was all delicious and we give it give stars for all three days.

We had breakfast there for three days in a row. The menu is quite diverse, so We found a delicious new item every time. Staff was friendly and service was fast.

Worst omelet I've ever had. The Protein Omelet made of egg whites, chicken and cheese. It was dry and tasteless. A friend ordered the other egg white omelet with the same experience. Service was mediocre too. Don't waste your time and money!

Amazing breakfast. Great selection of breakfast items. Next time I'm in Chi Town this will sure be my breakfast spot. The wait was not long at all even though it was crowded due to it being the weekend for the Chicago Auto Show.

It's a chain restaurant. Honestly for the quality of food I would recommend going to a denny's or ihop before considering this place. The restaurant is deceptively busy...meaning they keep people waiting outside while there are tables unmanned and vacant. Once you are seated...it feels crowded and like you will run into the next person. This place is a mess in terms of food quality and service. I got the breakfast wrap and ate only half of it because I knew I had a long day of adventure before my next meal. The wrap itself had no flavor...no personality, and was very very dry. I do NOT recommend this as a brunch location. Breakfast is my favorite meal and this was a major upset.

This place is delicious!! I ordered the egg white omelette and it was one of the largest most delicious omelettes I've had in a while! It was the type that they probably put in the oven to let it bake and rise so it was huge and fluffy with delicious ingredients (add olives- you'll thank me). I upgraded the pancakes to the berry berry wheat pancakes. Another delicious treat, one that doesn't make you feel so bad eating a pancake (they have sugar free syrup!). A ton of great for the price. This would be a regular for me if I lived in Chi town.

I visited first time (3/30/15) ordered buttermilk pancakes w/side of blueberries & bacon. The pancakes tasty, a bit heavy. The that aside the warm maple syrup & blueberry compote fresh flavor-a delicious compliment. The coffee fresh, smooth, strong & organic. Thick cut bacon nice balance fat/lean. Good service. Worth another visit.

-BY FAR THE WORST EXPERIENCE IVE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE. the server's name was George (foreign white male). he was so rude. I've never been so livid from terrible customer service before. -It was 3am on a Saturday so not too busy. We were seated quickly. Whe

We travelled from Toronto to Chicago for the first time and after a night out were excited to find this breakie spot right near our hotel. It was the 35 West Ontario location. The service was great and the food was good. HOWEVER the owner is a monster. Peter Stakafakous was in the kitchen and we were in the section close to it so I could hear him yelling at people the whole time. I didn't think much of it as I was previously a Server and I know that's usually how it goes. But then I heard him screaming LOUDLY at a Server to just leave and some other things I couldn't make out. Everyone in the section stopped eating and just looked stunned. Then the Server came out crying and all the other workers looked scared/pissed. This was EXTREMELY uncomfortable not just for me but for many tables. I asked to speak with him as I was going to let him have it (something I NEVER do) and of course he was "on a call" and sent his Front of House Manager out. Apparently there is no one I can speak to as he is the Owner of the Franchise. All I have to say is WELL DONE PETER. Does making girls cry make you feel more like a man? I don't care what industry you are in -learn some professionalism and if one of your employees needs to be spoken with take them to your office and speak with them calmly and with respect. To the girl who was crying - Find another job. There are lots of restaurants and other customer service based businesses in the area. Pass out your resume and get out of there - you don't need that in your life. Don't support this business please. And if you do go, tell Peter to stop being such a douche to people that are making him money.

You would only be egged on to try this place if you're among intoxicated friends. I came here sober on a Saturday morning at 11:30am. There were plenty of tables to go around and we were immediately seated. My brunch mate and I both opted for benedicts: the country and the butcher's choice. I had the latter and it was the unhealthiest plate possible. I was undeniably grateful with the generous portion of diced ham, crumbled sausage, and bacon shreds but that came with a heavy cost. The amount of sodium on the plate could've been used to cook a meal for four. I was on the verge of scraping off the meat and devouring just the poached eggs and English muffin. To conclude, Eggsperience can be your average, local diner if you're willing to drop $15 for mediocre brunch or when you're in dire need for a bite after some heavy drinking. Don't come here hoping for eggscellent quality food.

This place is great! There was a line outside the door when we arrived but we got a table within 5 minutes somehow. The staff was very nice and the food was delicious with huge portions. Next time I'm in Chicago I will definitely go back!

The food tastes SO clean! Mile high omelette, hash browns, GF pancakes. Honey on the pancakes was a bit much for me, so I'd get that on the side next time.

Pretty decent breakfast spot. I stopped in Saturday morning after the river was dyed green for St. Patty's day. I arrived there ahead of most of my friends and was told that I wouldn't be seated until everyone was present. There were seven of us and a toddler. The hostess asked my name but didn't write it down. My friends arrived 15 minutes later but when I told the hostess that everyone had arrived I was told that I'd have to wait even longer since she hadn't written my name down. Obviously I wasn't too happy about that but what could I do? We ended up waiting another 20 minutes. When we were finally seated we were seated a cramped table. There were three tables pushed together instead of four so the space was minimal. There was barely enough room to put the highchair at the head of the table. Also, the highchair didn't have belts that worked to strapped the kid in. That was no good but her mom made due with the situation. Our waitress was pleasant, attentive and effective. I ordered eggs, hash browns, toast and turkey sausage links. I didn't care for the sausage links at all but everything else was pretty good. I wasn't blown away with it but I left satisfied. The restaurant is bright and colorful with modern decor. The place of PACKED and the staff worked together efficiently and effectively to serve the customers as swiftly as possible. I'd return to Eggsperience for sure if the opportunity presented itself.

Definitely a place I would go back to often for breakfast! Place is fast-paced, super friendly and food arrives at a pretty decent timing even if it gets busy which is fantastic! Food portions are big and definitely enough for my boyfriend and I. The quality and taste of the food is great! Some of the food may be a bit pricey but i say it's worth it, not sure about their drinks, however. My boyfriend and I came here a few days consecutively just because the food here is that good and if you like egg benedicts i would definitely recommend the smoked salmon egg benedict! Their poached egg with topped with the yellow sauce (I forgot the name) sitting on the smoked salmon and finally the english muffin is the best I've ever had so far! And it definitely filled me up! Their skillets are also delicious too! I would definitely recommend this place and return here myself!

Josh W.

Eggsperience's food was very tasty. It was good quality. The atmosphere was not bad either. Being close to the Loop does make it very crowded sometimes. I went recently with some friends of mine for a Saturday breakfast. We enjoyed it, but I was a bit surprised with the price of the bill. The skillet that I got was about $3-4 more expensive than your average breakfast spot and it wasn't a huge plate either. Then if you decide you want coffee and or a side of meat with your meal, you will end up paying $18-20 with tip just for breakfast. That's a bit much for me when there's dozens of other unique breakfast places close by with a much cheaper price tag.

Terrible service and cold good. My server never came back to the table once we got our cold food and when we complained the server got upset. Never will I go there again!

(dated 11/2011): visiting the windy city on a windy weekend. travel buddy looked up this place and suggested to go -- sure! might have been a Sat/Sun morning, at 9:30-10am? line was already mile-long; waited about 20-30 min for our table. food portion was massive: my friends abandoned theirs and i packed mine (never waste food!). juice was fresh but i made the mistake of getting the pomegranate straight up -- very tart!! but in all, a-ok. service, due to the heavy volume, was slow. maybe get some more part-timers for the weekends? cute eggy-shaped lighting/decors.

Four of us had breakfast here on a Monday morning. Good service and the food was good, old-fashioned diner food. (Nothing to write home about, but certainly adequate.) The servings were hearty and the service was efficent. If you are looking for ambiance or unique dishes, you may want to pass. If you are looking for typical breakfast fare, this is your place. I will go back again but won't specifially seek it out.

Natalie R.

This restaurant is pretty overpriced, so I was skeptical, but the food was pretty darn good. The portions weren't the largest, so again, I was skeptical, but it filled me up and I was very satisfied! The atmosphere is very bright and friendly. A huge plus is that it serves breakfast all the time, because breakfast is my favorite meal and I often find it hard to come by. The (endless) coffee hit the spot, and my side of banana pancakes was on top of this world. I would go here again, but not on a regular basis due to the price ($5 for a glass of orange juice?! $5 for a side of bacon or strawberries?). The service was quick and satisfying. Our waitress was phenomenal; she was one of the sweetest waitresses I've ever had and absolutely accommodating for anything my crazy family asked for. All in all, if you're a tourist here, or just looking for a good breakfast joint, I would recommend this place!

Wendy S.

Our favorite place for breakfast in Chicago! We loved the diner atmosphere, the friendly service and the excellent food. I had the Triple Crown Waffle and it was delicious. I especially liked the crunch of the granola with the fresh fruit. My boyfriend had the Butchers Choice Eggs Benedict and said it was outstanding. We ate at several breakfast spots in the city on our last trip to Chicago, but this place made a lasting impression and we'll be sure to come back on our next trip.

Daniel K.

Excellent food; bait and switch rewards program. I've been a loyal customer for several years and will sometimes go on a Saturday just to accumulate points, which happens quickly with the price of the menu items ($1 = 1 point). Only problem: you can ever redeem your points because "it's not working right now." Three consecutive weekends now. So frustrating.
(3)
Nikola L.

My eggsperience in this place can be summed up with something my girlfriend said: "Baby, please don't let me pick this place again". Make sure you're not hungry when you get here. The staff seams well meaning but they are understaffed so it may take awhile to get your food. The food is good, though.

Michelle T.

I was looking for a quick breakfast and this is the perfect place. The service was quick and waitress was pleasant. The restaurant is nicely kept and clean. The menu is huge with lots to choose from. The food was excellent. I had the breakfast panini sandwich with hashbrowns. Normally hashbrowns are flavorless and greasy but these hash browns were the best I ever had. If you like Orange juice I would order a cup. They make fresh OJ that's really good. If I am ever back in Chicago looking for breakfast or lunch I will definitely return.

James S.

My "eggsperience" was poor. Four strikes you're out. 1. Sat for 10 minutes without a acknowledgment that we existed. Ordered our food and drinks concurrently. Happens, not a good start though I still have hope. 2. Simply asked that my son's waffle come out plain. No fruit, no whipped cream, no powder sugar.....just plain. When it finally arrived it had sugar on it. The waitress knowing the mistake before arriving at the table looked at my son and said "they put sugar on it, no big deal right?", my son 10yrs old, said sorry I don't like it with the sugar. The waitress then spun and looked at me in disbelief and reluctantly marched back into the kitchen to ask that they make the $10 waffle the way we had ordered it. I am done with this place now, but they can still redeem themselves with a late rally. 3. My son never got his juice, so my other son and I are eating our food while the waffle is being remade so it doesn't get cold and my other son has nothing. Now I am felling swindled. 4. Upon paying at the cashier upfront the gentleman said "and how was everything today?" as he reached to accept my bill for processing. I told him that everything was a disappointment and I was unlikely to return. His response was "sorry $39.45 please". Icing on the cake, I live only a block away but will venture through ice and snow this winter for my eggs elsewhere. Really no reason to go here. Food is average, customer service is appalling, and it's no bargain.

I was a little inebriated and it was 3 a.m., but it was good. Try the chorizo frittata, but be sure to share it cuz it's huge. I'm guessing during normal brunch times it's packed as it was during late night.

You can stop rubbing your eyes now...yes it is me Unity O finally writing a review about something (CRAZY, I know!). I know it has been eons since I have opined on my likes & dislikes on the Yelps...please forgive the absence. Now onto my thoughts about Eggsperience....STAY AWAY from the sweet potato fries! Seriously they are not good. I was so excited when I saw on the menu that sweet potato fries were an option as a side, heck I think I even drooled a little. Alas my hopes for the sweet crispy tubers were dashed once I bit into one of them. They were a bit soggy with oil & did not taste at all like sweet potato...it was weird & sad Do not fret...the rest of my meal was pretty darn good. I met a friend there for a weekend lunch extravaganza (well okay extravaganza is a strong word; let's just say we met for lunch). Now, you would have thought I would have gone for some breakfast fare & believe you me, I was tempted. But, as soon as I saw the sandwich options...I knew I had to go that route. The menu is actually quite vast for a diner & it pretty much has something for everyone. You got your eggs, omelets, pancakes, waffles, French toast, crepes, burgers, cold sandwiches, Panini's, salads & soups...a cornucopia of options. Now when I say diner, I know that tends to bring a certain image to your mind, but let me just say this place is very spacious, has a warm atmosphere, and is very inviting...this ain't no Golden Nugget. For my meal, I went with the Chicken Panini which was gloriously tasty...thinking about it makes my stomach growl with hunger. It was nicely sized & and ample on its own for the meal (stupid sweet potato fries!). Will I go back...uh, hell yeah! I say you try it too. Bonus, it is open 24 hours...huzzah!

I've never had such a fluffy omelette in my entire life!!!!!!! My portabella omelette with a mushroom-wine sauce: extremely fluffy egg white omelette, it was like a soft expensive pillow off eggs with perfectly cooked portabella slices. The sauce was served on the side, didn't taste much wine but it was still very good... reminded me of cream of mushroom. For around $8 I got an IMMENSE omelette, with fruit (traded fruit for the hash browns) and choice of toast or pancakes. I was SO full because I could not stop eating it!!! Friend got lox benedict... very good!!!! The lox was delicious, and high quality. She was equally happy with her meal. The service: SOO FRIENDLY. We had a waiter named Amir, and he was so courteous, attentive, and helpful. It was obvious that he took pride in his job and in his establishment, and was committed to friendly customer service. I love meeting people like this who remind me how much of an impact a kind demeanor can make on those who you interact with. Loved this place, will definitely return on my next trip!

We live right by Eggsperience and have seen the large crowds of people that line up every weekend to have breakfast here. Eventually, we became one of those people for brunch. The portions are large and could easily be split amount two people. We had the omelet, which was as large as a football. The omelet was tasty and comes with a large side of shredded hash browns- delicious! The coffee was decent, typical diner coffee. The atmosphere was a little overwhelming because there were so many people waiting to eat there. It is loud because the amount of people having conversations. The wait wasn't that long and they seem to work very efficiently, but I would suggest coming early and putting your name down. The service was fast and our wait staff was friendly and personable. We would definitely go back to this place to have breakfast or brunch.

Kevin H.

I had the Chorizo Fritatta and potatoes. Pretty good by I felt slighted because the chorizo was just okay. I thought I was in for a spicy morning with marvelous south of the border flare, but just had to rush through a sub par EGGSPERIENCE, lol. My date , however had some of the creamiest looking eggs I've ever seen. I wouldnt say spectacular, but in comparison it might have been what made my meal seem so sub par.

Probably one of the worst serving experiences I've ever witnessed. Although it was late my servers patience was at a bare minimum. Her facial expressions and lack of enthusiasm clearly explicated how she felt about our party. On top of the lack-luster service the food was barely mediocre! This eggsperience was the absolute worst!
(1)
Ashley B.

I've been here a couple times and was never wowed. I mean, was it good? Yes. Were the portions adequate to ginormous? Absolutely. I just feel that I've had better breakfasts in the city. I will say that this place is cool just for the simple fact that it's open 24-hours.

You're in Chicago and wake up at 7am. Or, at least you think it's 7am. Your body says it's 7am, but, Chicago says "No, my friend. It's 7. 6 Central." You quietly curse the time change and get out of your comfortable hotel bed. While it's 6am, your stomach cannot be deterred. "No, my friend. it's 7. I don't care about central time. Feed me." And so, you walk and discover a brightly painted diner a few blocks from your hotel. You enter and the wait staff smiles at you, and escorts you to a table. You're overwhelmed by meal options and you take a deep breath before picking something. Congratulations! Now you feel like I did on Saturday morning. I like to think we've got some pretty good diners in Cleveland, and Eggsperience would fit in perfectly. The food is quick and tastes really good and there's lots and lots of it. The best part: It's pretty damn cheap, too. I really dug the eggs. They weren't pre-cooked and tasted like they were just cracked eggs, rather than hours old, pre-blended Eggs-R-Gud Brand Egg Mix. And the hash browns were shredded potatoes, which is my favorite way to eat hash browns. Try the orange juice.

Good spot and one of the better ones in the Chicago area. Been a few times on my visits to Chicago and its never disappointed. Always bustling and may be a slight wait if you have a large party. As the name suggest, the options for eggs are simply endless!

We were in town visiting and had breakfast one morning here - we both LOVED it! The portions are giant! I love that they have healthy options and REAL fresh squeezed juice and organic coffee. There wasn't a thing on my plate that didn't get eaten; Wish there was one of these in Dallas!!! Our waiter was extremely attentive and friendly. Cant wait to go here again the next time we're in town.

If you wanted to make a breakfast factory, this place would be your model. The only thing that's oily in this joint is the machine. They crank out breakfast perfectly. There was NO wait. Service was fast and extremely professional. The food was great. My only recommendation is to NOT over order. Portions are huge. I ordered Eleni's Egg White Special, and although I'm widely known for my ability to overeat, I couldn't finish it. Great place. Definitely go here.

Amalita A.

Great place to go after a long night of partying, They're hours are very accomodating. Healthy selection of food and everything tastes delicious! I love that you can order wheat grass shots, beet juice or fresh squeezed orange juice. Their Omelets sell themself :) Service is excellent atmosphere is nice and quiet!

Marco H.

Usually great coffee is an afterthought as most breakfast places, but not here. Love the coffee and the breakfast is great too. The pancakes and waffles are perfectly made: not to doughy, dry or over cooked. Decent bacon (not the really thin wimpy kind) and good tasting eggs. Portions are a good size too.

All I ask is for my breakfast to be hot for Pete's sake! I don't care if you put that in the microwave, this was the second breakfast were my food was warm-cold. Come'on put that thing in the microwave, I won't even find out.

Justin S.

This place is pretty bright & colorful. Just makes you wanna be a morning person (if you already aren't)! I ordered the banana Belgium waffles but substituted some Nutella (yum) for the chocolate chips. It was AWESOME and just enough to fill you up but not put you in that deadly food coma that just throws off the rest of your day. The only thing I messed up on was passing on the ice cream I could've added. There's always next time I guess. Oh yeah, they don't split checks anymore a.k.a. you can't pay with multiple credit cards so bring cash. There's an ATM in the restaurant, but who's okay with paying fees? There are Chase & BoA (& maybe other) banks right around the corner though.

Spean B.

Came in for a late breakfast. On first try, received a cutlery set that was visibly dirty on the outside of the napkin. Opening it, there was caked-on dirt on the knife and fork, but the spoon was OK. When the server reappeared, I asked for a new set, and got another set with exterior dirt, but the cutlery inside looked OK. Seems like they're all pre-wrapped and in a pile, and the quality's variable. We had a Mediterranean omelette and a scramble, which were both generously sized, but the flavor was off a bit somehow. The coffee was filter coffee, and tasted like filter coffee.

Stefanie P.

If you are looking for a suburban experience in the city - this is the place to go. Our breakfast was nothing to write home about. I had the Eggs Benedict. The ham was on the chewy side, sauce flavorless. Overall presentation - well there was none. Hubby had a skillet. It was OK. Overall for the price tag we expected more and will not be coming back.
(2)
Prash C.

The food is great, the frittatas are pretty amazing in particular. When we went in there was a ridiculously huge line, but it got cleared in 5 minutes, and they're really good with their service. I ordered a "freshly squeezed" mango juice first, which was not really freshly squeezed, and they replaced it without a hitch. The chocolate shake was pretty fresh and nice. The french toast is perfect - not too heavy on the tummy. Overall, a great place to brunch if staying in the Chicago downtown area.

Some friends, my wife and I all ate at Eggsperience and the food was fantastic! We all had omellettes and I had some hash browns and fruit. My wife and her friend were going nuts because Josh Duhamel was there eating at the time.

One of the best breakfast restaurants I have ever been to. The Caramelized Apple & Pecan Crepes were awesome. The Huevos Rancheros were amazing. The corned beef skillet was great too, especially since the corned beef was so fresh.

This place is egg-spectacular! The omlettes are the size of a small baby, all the meals come with pancakes and hash browns. And it's apparent that you can pass out drunk at 3am at your table without getting kicked out.

A W.

We went here a couple times during our stay and loved the food here. They have great variety of breakfast items - tried the Country Bennie (eggs benedict with spinch, roasted red peppers and tomatoes), Triple Crown waffle (raspberries, strawberries, granola, normally has blueberries, but we substituted bananas), and their egg scramble. Everything was really good, in addition to their hash browns which were really good but not greasy or oily at all. Would definitely go back in the future.

John O.

Eggsperience is very clean with great service. Walking in on a rainy day I was seated immediately from a very cute hostess. The restaurant is bright and open, and it felt especially great watching the rain while I was dining inside. The place offer a variety of egg/white combination but i had to order my favorite, Corn Beef and Hash and Eggs with Pancakes and it was pure delight, and of course, coffee. Pancakes was nice and fluffy. Hash brown was Eggsperience is a local chain of five however the elevated atmosphere made the restaurant far from being a chain. You will spend any where around $10-15 for an entree, coffee/juice and tip.

Jessie S.

Eleni's Egg White Omelet has become a staple in my diet - sub the slightly gooey red peppers for broccoli and you have the fluffiest, lightest, most delicious omelet you could ever dream up. I've never had anything else there, and probably never will. I really see no reason to ruin such a good thing. BUT, avoid, avoid, avoid on weekends during the breakfast hours.. its a zoo. PLUS! this place is open 24/7.

Julie D.

First- I LOVE a good breakfast place. This was okay. The hostess was on the b-itchy side, didn't smile once and seemed as though I was inconveniencing her for being there. We did get seated within 10 mins on a busy Sunday- 5 stars for that. Ordered waffles with pecans- meh, bland, expensive, nothing special...pecans weren't even cooked in, just sprinkled a few on top. Syrup- c'mon if you are going to specialize in pancakes, give us a maple syrup at a fee option! I would order something eggish from there if I went back. Even the pancakes looked meh...they sounded great- but pretty dull. The egg items floating by did look delish...but waffles and pancakes come with nada, cost the same and are meh (probably a prebough mix of some sort).

Nick H.

Stopped by here late one night last weekend, Got a burger with sweet potato fries. Ordered medium it came out very well done, it would probably have been spot on if it was cooked how i ordered. Sweet potato fries were mouthwatering, mmmmm Might call back some night soon..
(3)
Eugene M.

Talk about delish dish. I strongly recommend the orange juice because it is fresh squeezed. I had a garden veggie eggs benedict which was tomatoes and spinach. Very good, big portions especially the omlettes. Very packed and a good crowd. I recommend it and the price is a little bit more than I would like to spend but hey you're not eating this everyday.
(4)
Laura M.

My food was cold. They were very busy so I can see why it would be, but I can't eat cold food unless it was meant to be that way. We got seated pretty quickly which was impressive considering how many people were waiting. Churning lots of people in and out very quickly leads me to believe the food is freshly made and very hot, so why it wasn't still leaves me scratching my head. I asked the waiter to nuke it for me and she did but it was still cold. I gave up. Meal was still over $60 for three of us so probably won't go back.

Fantastic corned beef, home made. Really fresh apple pecan crepes - great place for breakfast! Consistently good food - I've never had anything I didn't like.

Great place for a solid brunch, but nothing really notable enough to warrant 5 stars. Like most brunch places downtown, Eggsperience doesn't take reservations, but the line moves inexplicably quickly. Service could have been better, but we thought maybe our server was having an off day.

Late night cravings of breakfast! This place is great. after hours eating, i highly suggest this place. I had one of the best steak and eggs here, with some cornbeef hash from my cousin, good yummy pancakes on the side. Alot of people likes to get their omeltte, so if your a omellte fan, id suggest to try their spinich one. They also have fresh squeezed orange juice which i s plus, and really friendly waitress. Usually after hours dinning is pretty dingy, but this place is kind of nice. Id definitly come here again after a night of partying and some breakfast cravings.

I called (1025am) to place my order over the phone because I know how busy it can be on sundays. Thinking as long as I come the time they tell me to come pick up my food, (15min) it will be some what of a speedy process. I get there and pay for my food at 1048am and the food was not ready. 10min pass nothing. 10 more pass nothing. I wait 10 more min making it close to an hour after I made the original phone call then irritated and in fear my time for parking that I had to pay for was going to run out I decided to cancel my order. There was no compensation offered just a refund and a goodbye.

I love eggs...from my head down to my legs! I really do love eggs. They are a close second to my favorite food, cheese. So obviously I was psyched to try Eggsperience. Everything about this place is huge. Huge space, huge menu, huge portions. But luckily, the largeness of the plates themselves didn't take away from the flavor. The skillets were delicious, as were the paninis. Eggs were cooked perfectly. Service was fast and friendly. Plus, the Bears game was on the tv right in front of our table, which made the bf very happy. Great breakfast to start an activity filled day. Quick tip: go early or late, because wow this place gets crazy during brunch hours!!

much better service this time than last. a solid 4-star experience. +1 for seating my party of two immediately upon having walked in (ahead of many other larger groups) +1 for great food. i enjoyed it so much the last time that i ordered "The Cook's Calling" (meat-lovers) omelette again. fantastic. too much food to eat at one sitting. +1 for substituting in blueberry pancakes for $1(ish) +1 for friendly service +1 for being a well-run establishment. (much better than last time.) recommended. i will likely return.

4th meal? Yes! Came here after a night of partying and had the steak and eggs. I don't know if it was because I was intoxicated, but their steak and eggs were REALLY GOOD!

I can't say enough about the food .. we ate here twice in 5 days during our stay in Chicago and both meals were absolutely delicious. The first visit, I had a skillet with eggs, spinach, mushrooms, onions and cheese. It literally melted in my mouth, and the side of pancakes were heavenly. My husband's egg sandwich looked great too, and I probably would've taken a bite if I weren't stuffing my face with my own meal. For our second visit, I had an egg scrambler with spinach, scallions and cheese, and my husband had a Belgian waffle with strawberries, walnuts and ice cream on top. I had to get the pancakes again because I had been dreaming about them since the last time. The service here is attentive and friendly without being overbearing, and even the drinks are great! I had a latte both times, and my husband had juice that you could tell was fresh. I wish there was an Eggsperience close to our home in New York!

Meh. Forgettable. I'm pretty sure it's closed down, anyway. That corner is cursed.

This place is OKAY. If you want eggs and are in the River North district late night, then go here. The prices reflect the high rent prices. I had an egg dish with pancakes, the pancakes were meh, the bacon was pretty good. Very crowded on a Saturday night. If I'm in the area and want eggs at 3 AM, I'll probably go to Hollywood grill unless I'm absolutely starving.

Eggsperience was a good place to eat for breakfast, but I don't know if it can be praised as one of the best breakfast places. They do have a good menu with a wide selection but I would not say anythign was extraordinary.

Jayme E.

We had brunch today and were EXTEMELY IMPRESSED at the level of wonderful service we received. Daniela was our waitress. She went over and beyond expectations of a good waitress. Little details, for example, asking us if we wanted "to go" cups for our coffee since its so cold outside, Those small things really add up, We dine out very frequently and wish all restaurants treated us the wonderful way Ms. Daniela did today! Thank you and we will return.

Lots of choices. Healthy food that won't have you feeling loaded down when your done eating. Had the spinach and mushroom skillet which was delicious. Definitely going back to try more items on the menu.

Very clean and comfy place for breakfast. The restaurant is quite large. Servers were very friendly and the portion sizes were great. I ordered the ham off the bone and eggs and it came with hash browns and pancakes for about $9. Not a bad price and the quality was good. I'd come back if I'm ever in the area again. They even offer coffee in to-go, which is a nice touch.

Lauren H.

Pretty good food for decent (downtown) prices. Lol. I loved the banana-nut waffle I split with one of my friends. I had some kind of skillet with spinach and mushrooms. It was delicious and I had left overs for breakfast the next day! It's open 24 hours, so it's a great place to go if you're hungry after partying all night-and you happen to be in the area. The service was pretty good too. All in all, a nice place to get breakfast whenever you have a taste for some eggs.

Julie M.

YOU MUST GO HERE!!! The breakfast is unbelieveable. I had the "Yummy in your tummy french toast". Regardless of the cheesey name, it was delicious. I don't know how they made French toast so good but they did a great job! My date got the chorizo omlette and it was equally amazing. I doubt that I will have a better breakfast until I am able to visit Chicago again!

4.5 stars. I'm normally not an outdoorsy breakfast guy but when I'm on vacation it doesn't apply. We heard great things about Eggsperience and last time we were in the windy city the place was jammed packed so we decided to go early this time around. We were a party of 6 and came at 10am. There was a huge line-up inside so we asked how long was the wait and she said about 10 mins. Sure enough 10 mins came and our table was ready. The place looked small from the outside but it was huge inside. My wife ordered her fave eggs benedict and it didn't dissappoint. Eggs were cooked perfectly and paired well with the hollandaise sauce. I had the Cook's calling omelet which was big enough to share and came with side of house hash. We also ordered the crepes with nuttella and bananas for the kids which was also nicely done and tasted great. My parents opt for the traditional eggs and bacon and the bacon was cooked perfectly (not crispy and not undercooked). Coffee and tea were refilled promptly. Service was pleasant but you can tell the waiters are all under pressure to serve you and hope you are satisfied pay so they can do a few turnovers. Only downside is that the place is very LOUD. Overall, I would def go back and try something else next time.

At 4:30am, I would say come here for the people watching on the weekends, stay for the delish corned beef hash! I literally giggled the whole time watching those last efforts for some scuzzy guys to hit on some ladies. Prices are a little high (for me), but definitely priced appropriately for the area.

Eggsperience is great if you enjoy: 1. Puns (more to come) 2. Mediocre-decent food 3. Paying more than you should. All that said, it's not a bad place, just not an overly EGGcellent place to eat, EGGspecially with so many unique and EGGceptional brunch places in the area. Now that I think about it, why did they go with a punny name? Why not just be named after a food like so many other places in the city? Toast, Yolk, Hot Chocolate, EGGcetera... The food here is ok. It's a good spot if you don't need anything too incredible or if you don't have the time to get out to a different neighborhood. The staff is always super friendly. The wait is usually about 10-20 minutes on the weekend, which isn't awful for the area. It's a bit pricey and the food isn't great but it's good enough. The Tommy Boy Skillet is pretty decent and very filling. Breakfast dishes come with a choice of toast or pancakes. I always like when a place will offer up pancakes for no additional fee. Again, they aren't great pancakes, but they're good enough to make my tummy happy enough that it doesn't hate me.

Wanted a simple brunch that was close to the hotel we are staying at downtown. Came on a Saturday before noon and this place was packed! About a 20 minute wait but the food was super quick. Really big menu with of course a lot of egg themes. I got the omelette with ham, veggies, and it came with pretty yummy hashbrowns and bitty pancakes. The pancakes were somewhat dry for me. What got me was the 4 dollar fresh squeezed OJ. Yikes! About half the price of regular meal! Its open 24 hours so may be a better option after the club instead of the Rock n Roll McDonalds down the road.

Came here on a Monday morning with my aunt, grandmother, two great aunts, and two second cousins WHEW, that's a lot to get out. Needless to say we were a big, loud, picky group that wasn't in the mood to wait. We walked right in and sat down at a round table by the window, which was perfect for people watching and checking out the weather. I ordered the traditional eggs benedict but they had lots of other options to choose from. Everyone in our group found something they like and the food came out piping hot and delicious. Why only three stars? Well the service was a little slow and quite confusing. My grandma ordered plain black tea and they brought out a tray and then asked her to pick one but they were out of the one she picked. Long story short, I was on my second cup of coffee by the time she received her tea, which she described as worth the wait. My eggs benedict was great and the hash browns were cooked to my liking. The coffee was strong and they kept it coming. We asked for split checks (our bad really) and everyone got super confused. It took us 20 minutes to get the checks which were wrong. I just felt that there could have been better communication. If they couldn't split the check, please just say so. Otherwise, this place is great. I understand the hype and I feel that it's worth the wait.

I stopped in here one Saturday afternoon around 12 PM with a companion. When we entered the restaurant, it seemed pretty busy but we were seated right away. The service was great. I ordered the breakfast quesadilla and it was huge! I would really urge people to share a dish here - even the couple next to us ordered two breakfast plates and they were taken back by how much food was in front of them. The coffee was great - as was the OJ. Our bill came out to about $30 + tip.

Stephanie I.

Delicious brunch! Our party ordered a chorizo omelette, a pecan belgian waffle, and the traditional eggs benedict. Chorizo Omelette: really big and comes with hash browns and toast or pancakes - and all for only $10! Definitely enough to share. The chorizo was really good - the omelette was stuffed to the brim. It's packed with ingredients like onions, jalapenos, etc and is way filling. Pecan Belgian Waffle: um, YUM. Only complaint is that it was a bit of a pecan overload here - definitely couldn't eat it all. Waffle was really good though. Eggs Benedict: really good, but was kind of small. Also comes with hash browns. Great coffee, fast service, and good food = awesome brunch place. I wouldn't say it was the ultimate best brunch I've had, but it's definitely a favorite.

Jessica S.

Just decent. Had an egg scramble that was loaded with cheese. We had a very bizarre waiter that made the experience kind of strange. Its good to know that its open late night but I dont think I would be back even then. Yolk is a much better choice for a classic breakfast in Streeterville!
(2)
Dale H.

Went there based off Yelp reviews and decided to give it a try. No joke, BEST CORNED BEEF HASH EVER! I enjoyed it so much, I had to fight the urge multiple times to go back and get more, great food, service, and atmosphere. I will make a point to stop here any time I am in the loop looking for breakfast!

Hales L.

I visited Eggsperience for the first time last weekend. I was in the mood for brunch, but wasn't in the mood for waiting. We came in, and there was a huge line, but they were able to seat us right away (it was just the two of us). Our server seemed new, but he was friendly even though it was pretty busy, so that was nice. I ordered an eggs benedict, but the canadian bacon was way too overcooked. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great. t was really disappointed, but my bf's skillet was really great. So I wouldn't recommend ordering the eggs benedict, which really sucks because I get that at every brunch place. The ambiance reminded me of an upscale diner. Their prices aren't horrible though. We paid around 30ish for 2? And that's with coffee too. Not too shabby! This is a nice place if you don't have to wait, and you're uber hungry. It's also in the heart of downtown, so it's probably something you should check out at least once.

Nancy T.

The reviews for this place seemed pretty positive on Yelp, but I honestly don't think this place is very good. It seems decently cozy and clean with a good variety of food, but the portion sizes are just big...and the quality doesn't seem all that great. They charged my bf $0.45 for a measly side of salsa for his eggs - and they didn't tell us that upfront! But beyond that, we both just thought our food was a little bit better than average, but nothing spectacular. He got an omelette and I got a scramble. Both of our dishes came with country potatoes, plus a side of pancakes. Like I said, the portion sizes are enormous because we both could barely finish our meals. I guess that's a good thing because at least they're very generous with their portion sizes...just not with salsa, apparently. I would recommend Yolk instead!

Matthew H.

Yelped a "hearty breakfast" while vacationing in Chicago and this was highly recommended and reviewed! Went with my friends and it did not disappoint. The amount of food you get is crazy outta control! You better plan on walking the whole day to work the food off! The customer service was great, very cordial and attentive. Who cares about the cost of breakfast when you're full and satisfied! Recommend the omelette and the pancakes! Do it!

Hannah W.

AMAZING PLACE!!! The service and food is so great. You get your own huge water and a pot of coffee for the table. My bf and I were visiting from NY and stumbled upon this place on Friday 9/30 at 11:45 at night after our flight arrived and stopped in. We went back another time because we just had to go back and try other things on the menu. The smoothie was probably the best smoothie I've ever had. I WISH EGGSPERIENCE WOULD COME TO NYC!!!!

Lilly L.

My husband loves to judge restaurants by their "QPR" - Quality Price Ratio. If I were rating purely on this metric, I would have given this restaurant 5 stars. Great food, huge portions, nice, bright, clean atmosphere. I had the Breakfast Burrito which was phenomenal! I was tempted to try something sweet, but savory won out - the crepes and pancakes looked awesome. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in Chi-town.

Kimberly L.

Hmm, it was just okay. Let's start with the atmosphere. The hostess looked completely stressed out, which mystified me because there wasn't a wait for tables and we came at a time that wasn't all that busy. In fact, the entire staff looked either stressed or unhappy. Why? The coffee was fine and I liked the idea of having my own carafe at the table. It kept the grumpy staff at bay. The food was merely average. I had some kind of breakfast wrap with a whole wheat tortilla and chipotle sauce. It was fairly disappointing. It was better once I removed the tortilla, which was too hard to eat, and once I added some hot sauce. It was conveniently located in the moment and, I have to say, it's a pleasant alternative to the touristy places that are ubiquitous in these parts. But it's unlikely I'd come back.

Ws's Mama H.

Nice and clean breakfast place. Ordered omelette, pancakes, and lox. Bagle and lox was ok. Omelette was huge and delicious. Hands down, the B.E.S.T pancakes ever. These were the first pancakes that were not greasy but fluffy! I kept thinking how this is possible....but anywho~ I can come here on any given day just to have some pancakes.... yum-o!

Keith S.

Referred from a friend, 3 of us went here on Sunday morning at 945am. Busy, but waited only 5 minutes for a table. Service fast, omelette (French style) light and fluffy, wow, can't describe how good. Fresh juices, pancakes, coder all good. Great service. Don't miss this place for a traditional style breakfast!
(5)
Tammy L.

Really good breakfast foods! Pros: -open late (all three times I've been here happens to be right before sunrise after a night at the clubs and bars) -huge menu, lots of variety -large and filling portions -friendly and attentive service -spacious, really lit, w/lots of table (never waited here ever) -might run into a celebrity. My friend and I ran into Marques Houston (R&B singer) here at 4am!

Betty A.

More like 3.5 stars. I felt like this place was kind of mediocre. Nothing wrong with my food but nothing spectacular. Breakfast/brunch is kind of a no brainer (sometimes). The wait on a Sunday around 12pm wasn't too bad, about 10-15 minutes. The hostesses were super nice 'cause they liked my name and not-so-surprisingly, one of the girls said her mom's name is Betty! If I had a dollar for every time people tell me that, I could buy myself a new name. Got seated and our server took our order. As she was taking my order she realized she was yelling at me and apologized. It is awfully loud in that joint. Avoid the back area, its the noisiest since the ceilings are lower too. Slightly stuffy and noisy, it can be distracting to enjoy your meal and chat with your dining partners. Portions are pretty hefty like the frittatas and omelets 'cause its like a 3 egg meal loaded to the max so be weary cholesterol-minded folks. I would maybe give this place a try again if I paid Chicago another visit.
(3)
Jamie R.

This is a cute place. We found it accidentally when we were sight-seeing during our Chicago trip. They had a pretty good breakfast...I had the bacon and eggs...the bacon was a little burnt, though. My husband had an omelette and could hardly finish it...the portions were pretty big. All in all it was a pretty good deal, big portions, and average quality. I would go here again if I was in the area.

Diana P.

This was a great breakfast/brunch place. I loved it so much and I think this one of the best places to grab some nice breakfast with the family. Unfortunately, I live in NY so I won't be able visit there more often :( I usually feel that it's a huge waste to get breakfast somewhere, because eggs, toast, pancakes are pretty relatively cheap to make. I usually regret getting an omlette because I feel that I can make it myself. This place is totally different and I felt that it was worth EVERY penny. The omlette's texture was just so different and unique. I don't think I could've made it myself without knowing their secret recipe. My sister ordered a nice belgian waffle with pecan on top... DELICIOUS. I'm usually okay with waffles, but man this was amazing. Their fresh juice was great, definietly fresh like they say. Coffee is pretty good too. Their service was EXCELLENT. Waitress was very nice and patient, big thumbs up. It was pretty crowded though I have to say and when we first walked in, we thought it was going to be a HUGE wait, but we were actually seated in just 10 minutes. Not bad at ALL in my opinion considering the amount of people waiting. The restaurant is definietly larger than what it looks like from the outside or even from standing at the doorway. Either way, this is a great place to visit. If you want some quiet place, this won't really be the place for you since it is crowded and quite noisy. But the food makes up for it! :) would LOVE to go to this place again =]

Visited Chicago this past weekend and was recommended this place by the Hotel concierge. Even for a Friday morning, this place was jam packed..always a good sign. We had the french toast with nutella and strawberries and my wife had the beef hash. Both dishes were great. Will definitely stop by next time we're in town.

Emily F.

I honestly couldn't tell you the difference between this place, Yolk, Tempo, and all of the other brunch places. Portions are large, prices are standard, and I had a pretty good omelette with veggies and artichokes in it that I enjoyed. Nothing too spectacular but decent nonetheless.
(3)
Steven M.

Quantity over quality, but a good diner spot. Especially if you're hungry. PROS: Huge portion sizes - the omelettes especially. The corned beef hash is awesome, try it. The pancakes are also very good, but nothing special. CONS: Food quality is average. The huge omelettes are pretty bland, and my ham definitely had pieces of bone and gristle in it. It's very crowded (they have a lot of floor space and a LOT of seating) and loud. If you are with kids, if you are starving, or if you are both - go here. Otherwise try Eatt or Yolk.

I have been to the Park Ridge restaurant several times. I've never been disappointed. The prices are little higher than your usual ($9.50 for an omelette) but the portions are huge. You'll get two meals out of your order. I thought it was more than 3 eggs in the omelette but it's not. They whip the eggs in a milkshake blender to get them that fluffy. Service was fast and good. Ask for a cup to go for your coffee and they'll gladly give it to you. They have a good gift card promotion now. Buy one and get an extra 20% on the card or to you.

Lee C.

Breakfast is my favourite meal of the day, so I was pleased that this restaurant started my day off well. My group walked in here on a Sunday morning and we were seated within 5 minutes, which is surprising given how busy this place was. Those other reviews mentioning the monstrous egg white omelet were not kidding.. that thing looked like a surgically removed growth! The lox scrambler I ordered was tasty, the hash browns were shredded just the way I like them, and the buttermilk pancakes were very good. I was a bit disappointed that there was no peanut butter available, but there's not much you can do about that. I didn't have to ask my server for more coffee because I was given my own thermos to keep the java flowing. A good experience and I recommend this location.

Ann S.

Love this place. We went here twice in 5 days and we will go there again when we go back. I got The Cook's Calling omelet (french style omelet with bacon, ham and sausage bits and cheese) with hash browns and their awesome 9 Grain Bread baked fresh everyday. The hubbs got the breakfast quesadilla the first time and the breakfast panini the second time. When they brought out my omelet, it looked like a swaddled newborn baby..a fluffy, delicious swaddled newborn baby. The hash browns were good but that bread they make is SO awesome! When they brought hubby's quesadilla it was seriously half the size of his plate. It looked like a Man vs Food challenge! It was so good and I was slightly jealous but if he'd tried to trade me, I would've stabbed his hand with my fork. It was super crowded when we went the first time, on a Saturday. When we went again it was on a Tuesday around 10am and was much less crowded. I ordered another infant...err...omelet and he got the panini. He liked the panini but said he regretted not getting the quesadilla or an omelet. I loved the bread so much, we bought a loaf to take home. For $5, you can too. I'm gonna be making me a dang good panini at home with that bread tomorrow night for dinner!

Charlton C.

Solid three stars. It's hard to make a standard breakfast really good or really bad. The breakfast here was good, hence the three stars. Another thing to keep in mind is the portions which were comically large. Of course if I ate here on a consistent basis, I'm sure I'd get comically large. So depending on your objectives that could be a good or bad thing. This is one of those places that I could take or leave. It was good, but there are also about 1,000,000 other places that do just about the same thing.

Kevin B.

I had the Butcher's Bennie, which was Eggs Benedict with a bunch of sausage, bacon and ham. The hollandaise sauce was much better than I expected. Fresh squeezed OJ was excellent. Hash browns were soggy and not that great. I would go again for sure minus the hash browns.

Went here for a Sunday brunch. We got there at about 11am and there was a line out the door. But our group of 3 was seated in 12 minutes, the really move people. The layout shows that this place knows it's crowd: stroller parking just inside the door. Lots of tables and booths in a space that's a lot larger than it seems from the outside. All very bright colors to help improve one's mood.Though I will say there are a few bottlenecks between tables when trays of food are going one way and you're trying to go the opposite. Our server seemed like she was out partying the night before but she still came into work. I'm amazed she was still nice enough to joke around with my corny uncle. She left a pot of coffee on our table but we had to ask for a carafe of water. Personally i prefer to have my drinks refilled by servers when I eat out because it's part of the experience. I can pour for myself at home. The runner wasn't sure who ordered what, and it's pretty hard to mess up since the two people I was with ordered the same thing. The coffee was well roasted. I ordered the Cooks Calling omelette. with pancakes. It's ham, bacon and sausage with cheese. It was not as greasy or overly salty as i thought it would be so that's a plus. the hash browns were nice and crispy. The pancakes were fluffy and delicious. They really absorbed the syrup, but they came apart rather easily afterwards. The meal was quite tasty and filling. The people I was with had steak skillets and those looked like they had a good amount of meat and very filling, evidently it needed salt though. Overall this place moves tables fast, has tasty food, and ok service. It's a pretty good, but generic, brunch place.

Suzy D.

This place is one of the few 24 hour breakfast places in River North. It's great for grabbing some drunk food. The chocolate chip pancakes are pretty tasty. Anyways, this is solid traditional breakfast food..good for when you want a ham omelette or some bacon and eggs. Don't expect to get anything creative or fancy here (like the mascarpone stuffed french toast you can get at Toast). Just your normal breakfast place. However, the place is clean and the service is good.

Joanna G.

Loved this place! I had the yummy in your tummy French toast with a side of bacon, my breakfast companion had the caramelised apple and pecan French toast. Both out real fast with decent coffee and a pleasant server. Eggscelent, typical American diner with generous portions and not too expensive. Would return next time I'm in Chicago.

Jenaia F.

Hmmm.... Where to start??? We arrived at this diner pretty early in the morning and were ready to eat. We ordered our coffee & OJ upon being seated and got excited about the food options on the menu... after all this menu is as complete as can be!! Great sounding stuff. Alas, I got my OJ and unfortunately it had a hot pink lipstick mark around the rim of the glass that could not be missed even if you were 85% blind. (Minus 1 star for that) Then I got my breakfast... The country eggs benedict. It had spinach, roasted red peppers, and tomatoes (in place of the canadian bacon), with all of the other standard stuff (english muffin, poached egg, and hollandaise sauce). Let me tell you.... there was nothing eggsquisite about this benny. The hollandaise was not flavorful at all. The eggs were over cooked. It was just bland, bland, bland. (Minus 2 stars for that). Maybe I came on a bad day... Or maybe I ordered the wrong thing. Doesn't matter, cause I won't be back.

LOVE! Eggsperience! My first visit, I had the apple pecan pancakes - ridiculously good, huge portions and very filling. This morning I had strawberry crepes and to my surprise they were as perfect as they sounded on the menu! The service, each time I've visited, has been pretty good - super attentive waitstaff and also very friendly.

With a huge group, the staff here was very accommodating - we had about 16 people and were seated within half an hour on a Saturday morning. The portions are huge and we easily split the Meat Lover's Skillet between two people. Food is delicious and there are more options that can be imagined! Price is just right, as well. Coffee to go - what a genius idea!

Andre L.

The place was bustling on Sunday morning-loud and crowded but the service was fast. My wife loved her French Toast while her side of bacon was fatty and my side of turkey sausage was served just barely warm enough. My crepes were ok-they aren't like "real french" crepes, but rather the thicker type you find in US. Too much sugar in the apples for my taste. Good if you are in a hurry and a big menu. I wish I'd tried something else. I would give them another try on another day.

Kathleen G.

I need to pull an all-nighter at a place with wi-fi, Eggsperience to the rescue. I arrived at 10:45p on a Thursday night & I left at 10:45am on Friday morning. I had 3 breakfasts, hot chocolate, 2.5 pitchers of water, OJ, and two carafes of coffee. The place is clean and bright with delicious food. I plan to drag every visitor I have to this place over the summer. Whole wheat pancakes are delish (probably because I ordered sugar filled rather than sugar free syrup) 4 to an order and they are big, fluffy, tasty and piping hot. I also really enjoyed the fresh squeezed OJ (beware they only have one size for drinks) Omelettes are huge, as advertised. I had some of the Greek but I am not a fan of feta.

This place is huge. Its is closish to the L train stop downtown, so on your way out of town, hit it up. Super good food. 2 eggs bacon with hashbrowns and pancakes Pancakes were awesome. Weirdish pictures in the bathroom, conversation worthy.

A fun place to get brunch anytime of the day! Open 24 hours, so one can feast on eggs, hash browns, ham steaks, and pancakes all day long! Portions are a bit smaller than Yolk, but you'll get seated quickly and have the perfect amount of food to start or end your day. The fresh squeezed juices and specialty smoothies were a nice touch. The service was friendly and efficient and the space was bright and clean. I love that they put water pitchers on the table. Key when you are with someone who is always thirsty! I'm glad I can choose between Yolk or Eggsperience as both are great options in the hood and each has their own special vibe.

What a delightful spot. The Greek scramble is wonderful. The reason for the 3 stars is that the women's restroom smelled like urine and there were paper towels all over the floor.

I came here Sunday afternoon with two of my friends before we headed back out to our respective colleges. We were seated quickly, even though it seemed packed. The waitress was really nice. The food was great! I had the Bannockburn omelette and pancakes. The pancakes were really fluffy. The omelette was huge! They say they use three eggs for each omelette, but in all honesty, it looked like more than just three eggs. The coffee was also delicious and organic, which is a plus. All in all, I definitely liked this place and it looks like I've found my go-to brunch place for whenever I'm in town on holiday!

Spot on for a good old fashion bacon and eggs. The whole wheat toast was really good and our waitress was lovely.

Came here on a Sunday and no wait! How crazy is that for breakfast. Amazing good food, love the pitchers of water and coffee on each table so you do not have to wait for refills as well. Went back the following week a little later and a tiny wait but hardly any!

I ate breakfast this AM at 8:30 and now at 4:00PM I'm still full. I had a chorizo omelette which was the size (and shape) of a youth-sized football. Pancakes were very good as a side. Service was good. My friend ordered egg white healthy choice omelette and it was the size of an large calzone (or deflated basketball). He added bacon to it and said it was terrific. We would definitely return.

Brunch with the girls this past Sunday led us to Eggsperience. Having passed this place numerous times I was eager to give it a shot. I choked on my order which, isn't terribly uncommon for me. However, the other girls really seemed to enjoy their selections. I think the total experience could have been wonderful with a few tweaks. When you first arrive the waiting space is pretty tiny. They don't seat you until your entire party is present, which I understand, but it would be nice to have a little more waiting space. Our waitress wasn't the most attentive. The other flaw is paying at the register. There's no room. The line extends into the dining room - so you are hovering over other tables as they dine. And those being seated can't get past all the people in line to pay. I guess most of these issues would be easily overlooked had I not choked my food order.

I was disappointed to see that Eggsperience has changed from a 24-hour place to a brunch restaurant that opens again for late night on the weekends. This used to be one of my favorite places to get quality breakfast foods at 2am on a Tuesday and then pop open my laptop and get some work done. Hours aside, it's still the nicest breakfast-food place in the loop. The Lox Benedict is divine - sadly haven't ventured from that to the rest of the menu yet because it's so good, but the little bits of pancakes and omlettes I've stolen from friend's plates have all been really good, too. TIP: The restaurant is PACKED with the weekend brunch crowd; worth it, if you feel like waiting, but you might want to try it on an off-day when it's pretty empty and the waitstaff has a little bit more time and there aren't any screaming children.

Best breakfast in downtown Chicago. We ordered the Caliente - a massive breakfast wrap with chorizo, monterrey jack cheese, jalapenos, salsa, and egg and the Cook's Calling Omelette - which was bacon, ham, and sausage inside a massive 3 egg omelette with a side of hash browns and pancakes. TOO MUCH FOOD. It was all delicious and a ton of food. Next time I'm downtown it's back to Eggsperience again for breakfast.

Doesn't seem like this would be a great dining choice if you were to walk by, but you should stop in. I was surprised, given the location and the huge place, which lacked much personality. But what i've had has been really consistently good. Their corned beef hash was a huge portion when they opened, and now it's a little more regularly sized. Which sucks, because it's incredibly good. I don't know how they prepare it, but it's better than most corned beef hash I've had in the city-though I know that dish's tastiness is highly subjective. I could lap that junk up, though! Basic shredded potatoes. But good. Fresh thermos of coffee at each table-even if you're alone. Fresh real grapefruit juice. They'll butter your bread if you ask, so it's nice and melty when it gets to your table. Good service. pretty much all you can ask for in a good downtown breakfast joint.

Love this place! Came here a few times after going out to the bars nearby. There are so few 24hr places in that area, it is definitely filling a void for late-night cravings ever since it opened recently. The omelets are huge and delicious and their selection of tea is pretty nice. The restaurant is large, brightly lit and very clean. It's a nice pick-me-up at 3am before hopping in a cab to head home. I also plan to stop by sometime during daylight hours (brunch perhaps), to see if I enjoy it just as much when sober.

Large selection of breakfast foods. Only a 5 minute wait. Very large restaurant. Had an eggwhite omelette that could have fed a family of 4. Incredibly fluffy! Pancakes on the side were very good too. Wish we had this restaurant in NYC.

David C.

This place is great and don't be scared of the lines. Everything on the menu is fresh, large and tastes great. If you are in a rush, sit at the bar. I highly suggest the Irish Eggs Benedict. It is also a great place to have a nice family brunch. Don't be a piggy and share.

Julie B.

Kudos for being open 24 hrs/ day, but that's really the only draw. I've been here a few times and have gotten the same thing- the egg white delight, and orange juice. I think they beat the eggwhites so they are very fluffy... almost too fluffy, as in you feel like you're eating air. The veggies in the omlette are very greasy. They don't have fresh juices - it is all pre-packaged. For a good breakfast, I would take Meli or Tempo cafe over this place any day.

I came here a few weeks ago with my sister who was in town. We had just gone for a long run and were super hungry. Perhaps that's why we were a bit irritated when it took the waiter 20 minutes to take our orders after two "I'll be right with you." I think that has to do with the fact that this place is huge and there were four wait staff covering the place. It also took another 20 minutes to get the check which didn't come until I walked to the back and asked another waitress if they could tell our waiter that we needed our check. Once your order is taken, the food comes out pretty quickly. Oh and the coffee is really good. The food is pretty much your typical diner breakfast/brunch food. I really enjoyed my Eleni's Egg White Delight with numerous vegetables and a side of fruit. (Did I mention I was starving?) But come on, it's kind of hard to mess up an omelet. It's also super massive so the price is right. My sister enjoyed her skillet, also huge. Other tables seemed happy with there meals. This place is nice for area tourists and larger families as they can accommodate larger parties. The service I would give 2 starts, the food 2.5. It does it's job as a large breakfast spot in downtown: nothing crazy impressive.

This place is great! I went here twice over spring break with my parents for breakfast and we were all saying that we wished we were staying in the city longer just so we could go here again! I had the chocolate chip pancakes (they were amazing and beautiful!) and I also had a ham & cheese omlette with toast and both were very good and filling for a day of walking everywhere. My parents both had the eggs benedict (which they said was really goos) and my dad also had the denver omlette (and really liked it) and my mom had eggs and hash (and said it was really good). I suggest going here for breakfast or lunch!

I have visited this establishment twice. The first time I felt super rushed, but the food was delicious and the portions enough to share. The second time, the service was horrible, but again the food was amazing. My server forgot napkins, twice. I asked for them a third time; she forgot. Napkins should be brought with the food, it's a simple task. The wait was short for a 10am Sunday rush and parking was decent considering it is downtown. I will go back again!

Apple Nut Pancakes and the Banana Nut Pancakes were both Eggceptional, LOL. Kids Grilled Cheese came with plenty of fruit.

A couple of us came for Sunday brunch. There were a ton of people waiting outside already and I despaired (especially since it was rainy and gross), but the line moved surprisingly quickly and we were seated in less than 20 minutes. Love the brightly colored decor and the egg shaped panels hanging from the ceiling. The menu is huge and everything sounds delicious. I got the portabella omelette with large chunks of portabella mushroom. It was very flavorful. And the mushroom wine sauce went really well with the omelette. I also got to try pieces of the egg white delight omelette, the farm stand frittata (which to me just looked and tasted like an omelette, except not folded in half), and the veggie supreme crepe (great mixture of sweet and salty, sweet from the crepe and salt from the veggies). A lot of the orders also came with pancakes or toast, making it a ton of food and very filling. I love breakfast food and this one is definitely worth re-visiting!

A cheap, 24 hour new breakfast spot in River North?! What??? SWEET! That's what I said when the bf told me he was going to roll into the office a little late this morning so we could check it out. This place will be popular for many reasons, but gosh darnit am I'm glad the old Graze spot is finally occupied. The spot is modern with a cute little diner touch. Yes, you pay your bill at the front desk and yes the waitresses look a little run down but the service is quick, food was just what I needed and it was the perfect way to start the day. The waitress was really eager to take out order as she came around about 4 times to see if we were ready. This was all in the first 5 minutes of us sitting down. I'm all for good service, but this was over the top and we felt rushed. Then we couldn't find her at the end when it was time to hit the road. I had to go simple with the eggs, sausage patties and pancakes. The pancakes were not as fluffy as I would have liked them to be (in fact, they were kind of hard) but that was fine because I stuffed my face with the other items on my plate. The bf had french toast which was also tasty. Their menu was rather large, with different pancake, french toast, crepe and egg options. When we have more time we're going to come back and go crazy. Overall, I'm happy to welcome Eggsperience to the neighborhood. I'm sure they'll do well no matter what time of the day so check it out!

no. just plain no. just got back from vaca in chicago. we stayed at the embassy suites downtown. this place was very nearby, unfortunately. looked at the reviews, and thought, yum! can't wait for breakfast. what a disappointment. my food (mushroom/spinach skillet) was totally bland. husband ordered the chocolate/banana crepes (as a dessert but it ended up being the first plate served to the table) which looked too gross for me to even try. he had a few bites but did not like it. our 3 year old didn't even like them, so you know that's bad. IHOP is better, for sure. my husband even said that and he only tolerates IHOP for me. it's not good. find somewhere else for breakfast....really.

Ok i was on the way to another breakfast place but there was too much traffic and thought i would give this place a try and thank goodness i did!!! This place has awesome food, great service and food service was fast. The hashbrowns were cooked to perfection, crispy on the outside and fresh on the inside. =) I recommend this to anyone who wants a great breakfast place! I had the corned beef and hash and the pricing was also reasonable!

We needed breakfast - and fast. But where? So many options, but how to know what sucks and what doesn't? Enter the Yelp app and a number of glowing reviews for Eggsperience. I crossed my fingers as I led my group to their hopeful satisfaction and not their doom. Chicago Yelpers are absolutely on par when it comes to finding good eats! The California (the healthy egg option) was AMAZING. Packed with flavor and they even kept in the whole egg as my boyfriend requested. The hashbrowns weren't anything special, but I also didn't order it with the works. Then again, I can't give up my smothered, covered, and capped hash browns from Waffle House... Still, they were crispy and not over-salted. I was also satisfied with the freshness of the fruit, and the toast was perfectly toasted and still warm when it arrived. I was quite pleased and my boy and friend seemed to be happy as well. The best part is the sheer size of the plates. One plate is perfect for two to share (though we added on the hash brown order - my boy can EAT). I love it when we can share because it's cheaper and there's less to carry home later. The menu is extensive, though it is mostly eggs. You could make your own meal, and after a certain hour they start serving up sandwiches too. The juices seemed a little pricey so I avoided them, though I watched their arrival on other tables and it looked fresh and delicious. You should also arrive earlier in the morning or you'll risk a long, long line! Thank you, Chicago Yelpers, for a good first food experience in your city!

Really fantastic and every aspect of the Eggsperience was eggceptional! The banana pancake's are delish, as are the blueberry crepe's and veggie omelet. Wonderful, uplifting atmosphere that you don't want to leave. Make this your breakfast stop before you shop! Yum.

Jojo S.

The service was the best thing Eggsperience has going for them. My server Andrea was very nice and the food came out fast (less than 5 minutes after I ordered). I had the fresh squeezed OJ, the cooks calling omelette with pancakes (which the server said were really good) and a side of fruit instead of hash browns. The eggs were good and that's it. The fruit was not fresh and the packages were doughy. I don't know how to describe them just one bite and I was done. Beware the portions are huge.

Prakit D.

Large portion of fresh food, super huge menu selection, accommodating service. That's how I sum up Eggsperience. The nice thing was the food came in such a generous portion that I was full and had to save the rest for lunch. Lots of varieties and items to choose from with focus on egg as theme ingredient. Omelette was delicious and had a nice consistency. Hash browns were tasty, waffle was crispy, and the mixed fruit was fresh. Certainly a great way to start off your day if you have some time to spare in the morning. Sick of hotel free breakfast? Looking for something more filling than typical morning coffee/bagel? Or too lazy to get out your kitchen appliance and actually make something? I highly recommend checking this place out because when I was there I had one hell of a great Eggsperience.

After contemplating for about an hour on where to go for bfast, a friend suggested Eggsperience. I recalled we walked past this place once before and thought the menu looked appetizing. Once inside, we were greeted by a nice hostess and seated right away. While looking at the menu we noticed pretty much every menu item came with hashbrowns and pancakes or toast. I thought it was pretty nice you could substitute the hashbrowns for fruit free of charge. I decided to order the turkey sausage & eggs with a nonfat chai latte and he ordered the skirt steak (medium) & eggs and apple juice. We didn't have to ask for water which was very nice. The eggs were bland and the turkey sausage good. His skirt steak was a little overcooked and the potatoes looked dry. The fruit was okay (I didn't expect much since the weather has been so crazy in the U.S.). I have to admit, if I want really good breakfast, I either have to go further south to Hyde Park and eat at Valois or go further north to Jack's on Halsted. The south loop unfortunately doesn't have many options for bfast. :-( Overall - I would give the service 4 out of 5 stars and the food 2 out of 5.

Good breakfast place - not as good as some of the others - food portions are huge and quite tasty. This place is VERY popular so if you're going here on the weekend, get there early or be prepared to wait a little while.

Stopped by on the way to Whole Foods and ordered 2 eggs over easy with turkey sausage, which came with hashbrowns and toast or you can substitute for pancakes. Of course, I ordered pancakes and don't regret one bite! Everything was so good! The waiter, Todd, was a rockstar!! He anticipated every request we had. I can't wait to go back!!

Planned Sunday Brunch with friends......needed to meet "halfway"...between my place and theirs. Eggsperience was a perfect solution. I arrived at 10:40 a.m. for our 10:45 meeting time. I put our name in for a table and was told 15-20 minutes. Exactly 15-20 minutes later we were seated! Hot coffee was served right away. My protein omelette was the fluffiest thing I have ever seen! Eggs whites whipped until lighter than air. Delicious and filling....I took 1/2 of it home! We were able to talk even though the place was bustling....turning tables and serving value portions. I have been here before and will be back!

I love a good 24 hour diner and I really love breakfast, so when I saw that this place had opened I was very happy. I was able to finally get her last night around 1am. The space is huge, it's really really big. I have no idea if they fill it fully, and if they do, what it's like to eat here. Last night, there wasn't many. Maybe a dozen tables, so we were seated quickly and served just as fast. The food was very good, but forgettable. The eggs were served right, the bacon crispy and the hash hashy. Milkshakes were flavorful, but the lady didn't like her's as much as I did mine. I'd like to try one of the many styles of pancakes or waffles...which'll happen some other late night. Yeah, so nothing special but it is one of the only diner joints so close to north loop. Plus, it's 24 hours, and that's a major plus. However, you pay a little more than it's worth it for what you get. So, bring some cash. Otherwise, it's a nice space with a friendly staff. I'm a hoping they do well and stick around!

I typically love Eggsperience, my boyfriend and I live just down the block and come here quite often. It is also one of the places we usually took out of town guests since it's stypically fantastic. However, my last visit here was nothing short of horrendous. My best friend and her boyfriend were visiting, so my boyfriend and I took them here for their last breakfast in the city. First off, there was a tip still left on the table from the previous diners, so we put it on the edge of the table to the waiter would see it and make sure to pick it up (our waiter was named Pari). After about 7 minutes of waiting, we still had not been greeted by our waiter. Then we noticed the tip had been taken, so thus he came, took the tip, and never introduced himeself or asked if we needed drinks. After about another 5 minutes, he came up and did not look pleased to see us. He took our orders for coffee, but never asked my friend if she would like anything to drink (since she didnt get coffee). He actually just started to walk away mid order, and we had to flag him down and ask for orange juice for her. We were also ready to order our food at the point as well, since we had already been sitting for quite awhile. It was the longest wait for our drinks and food, we saw him walk by several times and never acknowledge us. When he brought the coffee out a little less than 10 minutes later, he only brought one small things of creamer, when three of us were having coffee, so i asked if he could bring more. So, he brought 3 more containers, which was borderline a little smartass. We waited about another 20 minutes for our food, all the while, he never once stopped in to ask how we were. Additionally, my boyfriend had asked for a fork when we placed our orders and he never received one. Pari walked out of the back kitchen, made eye contact, froze and then darted off. It was at that point we knew he had forgotten about us & our food. Several minutes later, he brought out mine and my boyfriends food but not my best friend or her boyfriends. Our food was cold. And it was clear he had forgotten to place my friends order and also had forgotten to bring ours out when it was ready. A few minutes later, my friends got their food and we were finally able to eat (amidst all this my boyfriend had to ask for a fork again...which apparently baffled Pari). The entire time we ate, he never once approached us to see if we needed anything or how the food was. To top it all off, when we asked to split the check, he was less than pleased to say the least. It was just a terrible experience and I was embarrassed for having suggested it.

A terrific breakfast spot! It can be Very busy on the weekends, but is worth the wait. The menu for breakfast is quite extensive and they have some unusual breakfast selections in addition to your normal choices. I went with this jalopena egg scramble thing that was VERY good. I also had mocha from the coffee bar and that was very tasty so tasty that I had two during breakfast. My husband agrees with me that his food was fantastic too! If you are in the area I would recommend stopping for some good food to start your day!

Got to Grand Lux at 130 on a Saturday. We were informed of a 40 minute wait. We waited a while... then asked if we got seated after 2 if we can still get brunch. The answer was no. So I turned to Yelp and this place came up. We walked the three blocks down the road to this restaurant and could not have been happier. We got seated right away, no 2 pm cut off for brunch, no nothing. Only downside: no Mimosas. Food was delicious! We ordered an omelette that was called something else but was basically a Denver omelette. It was delicious! We shared that and the apple pecan crepes, and it couldn't have been a better brunch. I will be back. This place has so much going for it. I'm glad its a little hidden from the Michigan Ave brunch crowd!

Martie M.

AWESOME!!! The place was completely slammed packed and I thought we were going to have to wait, but we were seated immediately - the place is HUGE. Such a nice change from waiting in line forever at Tempo on State St. The food was delicious, prices are very reasonable, the service was both friendly and FAST, and the restaurant itself is very clean and modern. Will definitely go again!!

Jennifer B.

Best New Brunch Place in Chicago! I was overwhelmed by the awesome menu! Not just eggs either folks....tons of waffles, pancakes, french toast, etc. I got the egg-white omelette and...yummy yummy! I loved being able to substitute fruit for the hash browns...it's always a nice touch (plus it leaves available calories for extra butter on the toast!). And getting a pot of coffee left on the table...another nice touch! The real gem here is the $3.49 fruit bowl. It's on the 'sides' menu and it's anything but a side! At Whole Foods that same bowl of fresh fruit would have cost $15.00. The cut fruit at Eggspierence is so fresh and colorful and just overall delicious. I'm definitely coming back to Eggsperience!

Friendly service. Atmosphere is ok. Kind of boring and generic, but not bad. Breakfast panini was ok, nothing to write home about. Also they ran out of the energy drink we ordered. That always bugs me when I order something and they ran out. If it's on the menu they should have it, at least that's my opinion. A little over priced for just average food.

John E.

Good place to take breakfast. Serving is HUGE! I love the crepes and the egg omelettes .I think I came here four times already. On a weekend, the place could be packed... a sign that people are enjoying the place. It is very accessible for me since I would just take the red line to get here from my place.

Michael M.

OK, this is exactly what this neighborhood needs: a bight, clean, well appointed 24 hour diner. Stopped here for breakfast - service was excellent, very attentive. Menu is large, with breakfast items, sandwiches, smoothies, etc. The portions are big and the prices are a little higher than normal diners...but the food is very tasty, there's plenty of it and service was quick and very attentive. I bet this place will be packed at 3am with the after club crowd....definitely 5 stars from me.

Kara K.

Really? EGGSperience?? C'mon...you don't name a fancy River North eatery Eggsperience! But anyway, I surmised this was the place my homegirl kept telling me about that is basically the "after party" to all the downtown clubs. She raved about it so much I just had to check it out. It was packed for a weekday morning, but the place is so huge I was seated immediately. After checking out the omelette selection, I had to have the La Portabella, described as a "masterpiece of diced portabella mushrooms and asiago cheese, finished with a rich mushroom wine sauce" served with hashbrowns and toast. A masterpiece indeed- the Mona Lisa of omelettes! Service is fast and friendly, the restaurant is bright and inviting and much-needed in the area---wish it was around when I lived a few blocks away. Truly an eggsiting and eggstraordinary eggsperience!

I'm giving this place 5 stars because it's genius. Thank GOD someone finally made a run of the mill, fairly cheap, regular breakfast spot downtown. A pitcher of water on every table made my heart skip a beat. The food...well, it's good, but just know that they "fabricate" their menu a bit. For example, my portebella omlette was supposed to come with a "mushroom demi wine" sauce. I got a cup of cream of mushroom soup. BF got huervos rancheros...it was layered as such: a pound of shredded cheese, wheat tortilla, eggs, beans, and salsa. Everything was good...it's just your "run of the mill" b-fast spot. But, I'm an advocate of a few of those in Chicago. The space is huge and bright and airy and we'll be back. You get a lot of food for your money here and it's good. Happy Breakfast!!

So my friends and I went to Chicago for the weekend and stumbled upon this place one late night when I had cravings. We ordered the La Portabella omelette, Strawberries & Cream Belgium waffle, Chocolate Banana Crepes and shared everything, family style. Everything turned out delish!!! My favorite was the definitely the omelette. We had a GREAT experience at Eggsperience!!!

The setting involves seven of us walking into here at about 4.15 am on a Saturday morning after a night at Alhambra, Bon V and Finn MCool's. (yeah, go figure). We're all sober, so while we're craving some unhealthy food, we're still able to discern between tasty unhealthy food and leftover scraps, you dig? First off, brilliant, bright lighting, and I love being surrounded by plastic fruits that look so real one of us tried to bite into it (ok, maybe we're not all sober), and pictures of eggs. Second, at that time in the morning, menu items that play on the word 'egg' in their titles are hilarious. I suspect at lunchtime this will not be funny. Third, great service. With a smile. Finally, the food was great. It can be hard to objectively determine if one mushroom omelet is better than the other, but this clearly was. Large portions to boot. We cabbed it home satisfactorily stuffed to convert that egg protein into muscle in our sleep (don't you know your body does that?) Goodbye tempo. Now that the gold coast has this, I don't need you anymore.

A solid diner, with a bit of a hefty price tag. We stumbled across this place searching for our farewell breakfast before heading to the airport. Long security lines and airline cutbacks mean the pre flight meal must satiate for long periods of time. And Eggsperience certainly fit the bill. I had the Egg White Delight, which promises to be 'guilt-free indulgence'. Besides the fact that that is impossible, it was a good omelette anyway. And freaking huge. Monstrous. I ate until I couldn't and it literally looked like I picked at my meal. My main complaint was the chunks of goodies (mushroom, red pepper, spinach) inside were loo large. I don't really want to use a knife too often when I'm eating an omelette. The fresh OJ was delicious, but I'm a little ashamed I was lured in by its seduction. The money they make on juice has to be a mint, I tell you. Also, the place was really clean, especially for a 24 hour joint. I would return if I was in the area, and simultaneously in the mood to eat my daily calorie intake before noon.

Great open 24-hours place in the middle of downtown! After a disappointing night at Redhead Piano Bar my BFF and I went here to get some grub. I ordered a turkey club samich and my girl ordered an avocado cheeseburger. The food was good and we were served quickly. The place just opened about 2 weeks ago and looks very clean. It's pretty big too cuz it wraps around to the back by the bathrooms. Our waitress wasn't too attentive but other workers were and asked us if we needed anything else. That was great cuz they picked up the slack of our waitress. we noticed the several framed-pictures of eggs all over the restaurant. The name is Eggsperience but come on! They didn't have to over do it with all these different types of eggs everywhere you look! Overall it was a cool place with good food and reasonable prices. I would go back there if I'm ever around the area.

I saw this place the other day when I was walking home and was excited to see a new 24-hour diner. Went there with a couple girlfriends tonight. Atmosphere/Service: It was kinda dead, but it's Tuesday night, so I wasn't surprised. It's bright and clean. I like that they have lots of wrap-around booths. The host and our server were friendly. Quick competent attentive service. Food: I had the pecan Belgium waffle and asked them to add whip cream. Although it couldn't beat the pecan waffle I had at Camellia Grill in New Orleans, it was pretty damn tasty. I could smell the deliciousness as soon as my server stepped out of the kitchen. I also had the turkey links. Good stuff. Nothing special. Maybe I'll try the corned beef hash next time. The portions were generous. I ended up taking half my food home. Money: Price was reasonable considering the location - a little higher than I normally like to pay but worth it especially with the great portion size. I plan to go back for more late-night eats. It's so great to see a clean reasonably-priced 24-hour place that has a good food, a huge menu, and accepts credit cards. (Sorry for the long review. I'm a Yelping virgin)

Wow this place has a built in market. With the line out the door at Tempo Cafe at bar time Eggsperience has got a good thing going with its proximity to Vision, Manor and a handful of other clubs. Great people watching too. Why wouldn't you want to observe insanely drunk people stumbling in at 3 am? I'm sure that the clientele at 10:30 am on a Sunday is a wee bit different. Large menu but I had something like 20 minutes to look over it while we tried to flag down our server. Once we ordered though the food arrived quickly and was hot. I really did enjoy my scramble with loads of broccoli, mushrooms and cheese. It's a rarity to find eggs that come with a larger amount of fresh cooked veggies. Hash browns weren't anything special. Great location...I hope that the Graze/Mask curse doesn't follow Eggsperience because its a great addition to the neighboryhood.

Super fast, even friendlier. Way too much food for a single person which makes this an incredible bargain if a couple splits the meal! Seriously, split a meal. I ordered the "Mmm-Mushroom Spinach Skillet". The cheese wasn't high quality and probably a little over the top but it was still deliciously. This Skillet, and I imagine the others as well, could easily feed two, maybe even three people. The salmon is heavily salted, way more than any salmon I've ever had so take that into consideration if you're looking at ordering the Lox Bennie, Lox Scrambler or any of their other Lox dishes. It was tasty all the same but right on the verge of being too salty to consume. Perhaps we got there on a saltier day.

Came here on a Saturday @ 11a (prime brunch time) and only waited 20 mins! After we were seated, I quickly realized why the turn around is so fast here. There are lots of tables with equally the same amount of waitstaff, and lots of commotion around you. This is definitely not a sit around and take your time place, it's a "eat and get out" kind of brunch place. For that I give them 3.5 stars. The menu is HUGE. There are so many options that I was confused with what to order. I went with a scramble with extra crispy hashbrowns. I was a bit concerned at first with the order because I'm sure the kitchen is slammed with all these tables and orders that I was sure the hashbrowns were not going to come out crispy. However, I was pleasantly surprised. They were extra crispy - just the way I like it! I also tried the my friend's plate and all had nice flavor. Nothing was too salty or sweet. For a place with such a big menu and many patrons, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of food that was coming out of the kitchen. They are also open 24 hours and in the middle of the city, so I'm sure they get all kinds of crowds there at 2 or 3 in the morning.

It is what it is. A clean comfortable breakfast spot with quick service & gigantic portions. Came here three mornings in a row with my family (kids aged 3, 4, & 7) on a recent city trip & everyone left stuffed & satisfied.

Please be advised that this 2 star rating doesn't detract from all of the 4 star eggsperiences (I had to, shoot me) we've had here since it opened - see original review - as much as this is related to a specific set of circumstances ... Brunch is one of those things that most popular places tend to get right time after time. The purpose of branching out is more for variety in atmosphere vs. variety in food because there's only so many ways a place can reinvent a benedict or top a pancake. Anyway, Eggsperience has become our go to breakfast place over the past few months since it opened. I specify breakfast because to me brunch is better spent in a nicer environment - it's almost like dinner to start out your day. So, when we've gotten up early on the weekends, we've headed to Eggsperience for fast, reliable, good food with absolutely no wait (mind you this is between 7-10am) ... Maybe we were just fooling ourselves into thinking this place would never be crowded but when we arrived at about 11:30 this past Sunday, the place was JAMMED - 25+ minute wait for a table of 3. Now, for brunch places, this is standard, but I think I had my own opinion of what this place was and thus I was annoyed at having to wait so long for a table when a similar wait would have gotten us a table at one of many better brunch places. The check-in scenario was a giant cluster fk - there were three people w/ lists who then filtered them to the main guy who would call out names. Mind you - these names were simply called out and due to the tons of people crammed in the waiting area it seemed that people often didn't hear their names which resulted in the wait list being thrown off track. This place is very "burby" so I think they need to look into a buzzer system to alert patrons when their table is ready. Buzzer systems are "burby" so it'd be a perfect match. Anyway, by the time we were seated, we were all a bit cranky and it took a while for our waitress to take our order. I ordered a benedict and although it came out later than the pancakes and french toast that were ordered - it was ICE COLD. The waitress was very nice, got me a fresh one and took it off the bill. Considering this place isn't cheaper or better than any of the other really popular brunch places in the city - I see no reason to go during peak times ever again. It will definitely be reserved for early morning breakfasts when nothing else is opened and a quick table is guaranteed. You're welcome.

This place is great sober or with a few sheets to the wind. Always hot eggs that taste fresh and with plenty of food for even the hungriest patron. Service is pleasant and nice (I would hate to work overnight with all the drunks) especially being a 24-hour eggs place, can be a challenge. Decor looks awesome, and even cooler that is is open 24-hours. Besides it being packed solid at 3:30a on a Friday night, it is a great place to meet people coming in from the burbs or a centralized meeting spot for the morning. The location in Bannockburn (north burbs) is pretty cool too.

This for sure BLOWS THE DOORS off Tempo! It's really quite good. Had no idea that something had FINALLY moved into Masck/ Graze (lousy restaurants) and great that it is a really nicely polished 24hr diner. It's pretty standard b-fast fare but quite well done though. First time, had a Cajun Burger; topped with 1/2 an avocado, pepperjack and a side of Chipotle mayo. And... as requested, it came out MR! The can stand to season the burgers more, but it was a very good burger though. What I do like is that sides of SWEET POTATO FRIES are offered as a standard side and not an upcharge (toss them in Old Bay seasoning and you will have a winner!) Came back and had a Portabello Omlette. It's the OVER SIZED American style, fluffy and tasty with asiago cheese and quite good, though the Mushroom Sauce wasn't that great... basically a broken buttery sauce. I'm not having brunch at French Laundry, so I shouldn't be that nit-picky. Hash-browns were kind of "eh..." very browned exterior but sorta raw-potato on the inside. The $4.00/12oz OJ WAS fresh squeezed, they have 2 Zumex Juicers, so I'd hope that it was. At over $3k a pop... I'd be ensuring that those machines are humming and earning their keep. Now I've only been in at timing where I SHOULDN'T be going in, so I don't know about the coffee, but they do have a lovely KOKOS Freestanding Roaster as well as a $10k Swiss Made Espresso Machine too. It's really a nicely run place and they are for sure knocking themselves out to make their mark/ stake their claim. Quite a bit of money was spent to make it rather nice on the inside without going cheesy and the quality is for sure there. I haven't had everything. Right now feel that I really need to hit the gym and get back onto my diet. What I have had though was awfully good and I will be back. Service is very nice and quick. I'm giving it the 4 stars because all they seem to need are a few minor tweaks to the food. Mostly just a bit more and even handed seasoning to the food.

I really liked this place, we wound up going there a few times during our stay in Chicago. Although the place looked absolutely packed all the time, our longest wait was less than 10 minutes. The food is pretty good too, although I preferred their pancakes to the omelets which were a bit bland for my taste. The service was also good, not a long wait. Prices were very reasonable and their portions gigantic. Would definitely recommend. The staff was also amazing, very attentive and funny.

I will say this...this place is pretty cool looking for a spot thats 24 hrs to all the drunkies on the weekends! We were seated right away and all our food came out in a timely manner! Everything was really good and our waitress was really nice! I was with a group of 7 and sucks that we weren't allowed to split the bill! Wow that was a sucky issues especially when intoxicated ha ha.

River North doesn't have too many non-hotel brunch options so hopefully this place stays for awhile. I came on a Saturday around noon-ish and was seated right away. Given the amount of food and coffee pots this place gives you we really need a 4 top table. But we managed. I went with the "healthy" whole grain french toast....not sure how healthy it is when you get half a loaf but it was fantastic. My friend had a fritatta that came with hash browns and pancakes. I don't know anyone that could eat all that.....every thing was really good. We both really enjoyed our meals and then realized we had to go up front to pay. No biggie other than the group of 5 cheesy dudes that must have been out late and didn't feel the need to figure out the check at the table. It was very unorganized and annoying. The guy at the desk then put the entire amount on my card after we'd explained we were splitting it. He was so flustered that he didn't give me my card back. This won't deter me from coming back though.....next time I'm starving for brunch and don't feel like dealing with lines and overpriced fru fru pancakes I'll eat here. Parking wasn't too hard to find either!

Food was pretty damn mediocre. Had the corned beef hash and it tasted like grandma's. But cost twice as much. I love chicago for its latenight food spots. Something definitely missing in San Francisco (where every idiot thinks they are a foodie but wouldn't know agood hot dog if it slapped them in the mouth). The apple pancake looked like Johnny walkers but worse. I would saythe meal altogether was not memorable but if you are here late at night (4-5am ish) nothing really is. Its a standard dinner, think Wolfgang puck decor meets Denny's food. OH and the service was KEEEEERRRRAAAAppppp!! They stupid waiter never listened to a thing we said, and f'd up our orders. to bad the yutz is living off tips. He must of went home hungry.

Came here a quick late night dinner. And it was night and day to their breakast rush....we were pretty excited when we walked in, knowing there would be no wait. But that's where the plus's ended. You would think that with hardly any diners, that servers would be even more attentive and service would be swift. Not that case. They were very polite and apologetic, but they didn't come around often to fill up water, and our initial drinks weren't even served to use till 20 min later after we ordered. Had the lox eggs benedict and the lox was way too salty! Bf had the egg white omelette, and the extra cheese took away from the "healthiness" of the egg whites. Double bummer I would come back, as maybe they were on an off night. And again, although the servers weren't attentive this evening, they were very polite.

YUM! Big portions, excellent waitress - enthusiastic but not obnoxious. There was a pitcher of ice water w/lemon on the table when we were seated, which I appreciated, and we were given a carafe of coffee for the table, too. We were also given coffee to go when we left - so thoughtful! Husband had the caliente wrap, I had the mile high omlette. Fantastic, can't wait to go back!

Ever go to those restaurants where on the menu they have delcious pictures next to the menu items and then when you receive the food the food looks sad and pathetic? Well at Eggsperience, the food looks amazing when delivered and come to think of it, they don't have photos on their menus. The burgers are lean and come with a slice of tomato so thick and fresh that you'll have enough lycopene for a week. You can't go wrong with any of the egg dishes - skillets or omelettes (I suggest the Cook's Calling). Pancakes are a tad dry but that can be remedied with butter and syrup. They have freshly squeezed juices which are a treat. What really impresses me about Eggsperience is that it is bright, clean, professional and friendly even at 3am. And that tends to keep the riff-raff out unlike at T_m_o.

Eggsperience is a competent diner. It has a large menu, quick + friendly service and reasonable prices. It's in the same category as Yolk and Tempo, but has those (awful) places beat in terms of quality. Why are the portions so large? If you can finish any of the breakfast dishes, you are either an NFL lineman or a candidate for a stomach staple. Eggsperience is an accomplice in making America the fattest country in the world. I had a frittata (good) which came with hash browns (OK) and pancakes (immediately forgettable). My friend had egg quesadillas, hash browns and a side of sausage. Between us, we had nearly 10 pounds of food and 5,000 calories. We ate about a third of what was served. What kills me is that the waitress and many of the reviews on Yelp consider this to be a good value. It is actually A TERRIBLE VALUE when you throw 2/3 of your food away. This isn't pasta where you can take it home and reheat it. It's eggs and pancakes, which do not travel well. Eggsperience throws half-eaten food away at an alarming pace. If anyone from the Chicago food pantry saw what went on at this place, they would likely pass out. The serving sizes are gluttony for the sake of gluttony. It just makes no sense.

Lemuel R.

It's hard to find anything to complain about! The food was delicious and the service was top notch! I started off with the fresh squeezed strawberry-orange juice which was yummy and not too sweet. I ordered the Mediterranean Omelette (spinach, diced tomatoes, kalamata olives, and imported feta cheese, with chicken breast for $2.95 extra), served with fresh fruit and a side of pancakes. The food came out super fast! The omelette was huge and very tasty. The pancakes were heavenly! They were so fluffy and light. The fruit was fresh and ripe. At first I thought the fruit portion was a little small compared to the omelette that was the size and shape of a small football. But after not finishing any of the food, I decided it was enough fruit. This was a great dining eggsperience! I might even go back tomorrow!

Elizabeth L.

horrendous service consistently throughout our visit: - astoundingly rude hostess demanded that we correct our tone of voice, after we informed her we had called twice to confirm our reservation (they do not honor reservations). she insisted she had no idea who we had spoken with over the phone, refused to apologize for the miscommunication, instead "I would appreciate if you not use that tone of voice...it's going to be at least a 10 minute wait, there's nothing else we can do." thankfully, the manager happened to be standing by and immediately ordered a table for our party of 6. hostess then proceeds to literally slam the menus on our table and march away. one of the girls received a dirty mug THREE times, after requesting a clean mug twice. the stain was in the same place, so it's highly suspicious that they actually even replaced the mug. on the upside: Eleni's egg white was one of the top 3 best omelettes ever - incredibly fluffy, fresh, flavorful - perfect combo of fresh spinach, mushrooms, roasted red peppers. friends enjoyed the strawberry crepes and chorizo frittata. the food is worthwhile, but service prevents return.

This was a nice place for our family. They have a huge selection of items on the menu. I was pleased they didn't give us gargantuan portions of food. Great kid's menu. Our excellent waitress, Mary, was one of the kindest and most friendly people we met in Chicago.

I LOVE THIS PLACE!!! I hesitate to write this review just because I want it all to myself, but I think it should be shared with others! It opened up just a few blocks from me and I didn't wait to try it - I've been there almost weekly since it opened and I take any visitors who come into town there for lunch or dinner on the weekends. I really like it because it has a HUGE menu, it's inexpensive, you never have to wait long (even on weekend brunch times), the service is great, and the food is really good portions of fresh ingredients. Especially love their egg dishes and sweet potato fries - also, sometimes I stop in just for a smoothie on the way home from work. They have a really good variety of food for any taste!

A decent Sunday brunch without a wait - I am hooked! Eggsperience has as extensive a menu as any I've seen and their vegetarian omelettes were really really good! Wasn't as impressed with their crepes, was even less impressed with the service. But overall still keeping this on my radar for future trips for a great, no frills, insignificant but comfortable and reasonable brunch experience.

Yolanda L.

If you do not like eggs don't cone here. More than half the items on the menu contain eggs. I think the name Eggsperience gives it away. Bf and I got a pretty standard breakfast, I got ham and eggs and he got sausage and eggs. Both platters come with either toast and pancakes which was awesome considering the awesome price. $8! Can't be beat, especially since it's also within walking distance from our hotel. The service was great, the server was all smiles and kept the refills coming. We walked away full and happy.

Mason C.

This place is easily the best brunch place I have been to in Chicago. For some reason the lines were really short compared to places like yolk and the like. Maybe I just came during an off time. Anyways, If you love pancakes, then eggsperience is for you. Their pancakes are really tiny, but they are AMAZING. They are very soft and cooked perfectly. I remember getting a stack of pancakes and they were still very warm as if they were cooking just seconds ago. The rest of my meal (eggs, sausages, and hashbrowns) was also superb. Check this place out if you haven't done so already.

Just got back from here, went at 3am. I had the potato pancakes and a pomegranate smoothly , it was very good. I just wish it came with more apple sauce. My aunt got a oppa fritta it had feta olives, and something else I thought it was disgusting but she liked it . The feta didnt taste like feta cheese at all some nasty mushy tasteless cheese. It was a cool place nice booths etc. Im so coming here again ! Plus the totally was only 31.72 and this is in river north!

Mike K.

The plan was to actually review this place befor Colleen did....dammit. I heard they had giant omlettes, and they do...I was extremely jealous looking at my gf's omlette. However I did have the scramble...you get to pick your own stuff, and just like the omlette, adding stuff only costs 99 cents. My scramble...greatest thing ever eaten in the universe....might be exaggerating but probably now. hashbrowns weren't super special,but completed the mission well. I really wanted orange juice...and they had this extremely super-fancy orange juice-making machine...but for $4 i didnt need it that bad. I was given my own coffee pot with my coffee,along with a pitcher of water with our free water....I love when places do that!!! 24 hours!

Jaison P.

This place has really grown on me...I don't require much at 4am when I am in dire need of a huge omelet but Eggsperience never disappoints! They are fast, always open, serve huge portions, and are one of the few places that give you pancakes with your omelet. If you are looking for a great place for brunch or need to impress friends with the best drunk food around at 5am...this is the spot!
(4)
Natalie H.

I tend to avoid carbs, and I find that Eggsperience generally does not do substitution very well. When I ask for a vegetable instead of (filling) pancakes or toast, I literally get a slice of tomato on 2 measly pieces of lettuce. Thankfully the omelette it is served with is massive. Oh, and once I ordered the corn beef hash meal and the server only gave me a side portion. Fuming, I sat there and ate only that. When we went to pay, the manager asked how our experience was and we relayed what had happened. He immediately apologized and took it off the bill. So, I would give the service a 5, but the lack of no/low-carb options needs improvement.

Was ok, if you're more into a diner (greasy food) experience. The nice thing was the size of the restaurant being so large, that the line isn't crazy long, like most brunch places in Chicago on weekend mornings. Big portions for decent prices.

This is probably my favorite chain breakfast place...just so good! Great ambience, and the portion sizes are HUGE! I think it's safe to share between 2 folks of low to average appetites. I loved the smoothies and the apple pancake was more of a dessert than a breakfast! This was so good that it was the only place we went to twice on the trip :).

I wish my Eggsperience was a good experience, but no. The oversized Shirt Steak Skillet had very little steak. The oversized chorizo omelet had very little chorizo. Which leaves me very little good to say about this place. Coffee's good. OJ's very good. But, the buck stops there. Save your breakfast and go to Fox & Obel.

There are so many better breakfast places to go to than Eggsperience. Not exceptional at all, and rather pricey. I ordered a breakfast burrito, which was much too soggy. Coffee is only okay. I don't think I'll be back.

Rachel M.

I'm really glad that a new breakfast place has opened up in the River North. The food was decent (pancakes were EXTREMELY fluffy and delicious), but I usually judge a breakfast place by the quality of their hash browns. The hash browns here are just ok - mostly really light colored but really dark brown/almost black on the crusty parts. I was really hoping for a more golden-brown look. I ordered a frittata that was absolutely HUGE. It took up an entire 12" diameter plate. I think I only ate about 1/4 of it, and am planning on having it for breakfast for the next few days! We just couldn't believe the portion sizes! Another thing I tend to judge breakfast places by - coffee. The coffee here was terrible - it was weak & gross, with coffee grounds floating around in it. And as far as beverages go - my husband ordered a chocolate milk that was seriously lacking in chocolate. It was pretty much just regular milk with a tiny bit of chocolate, or maybe it was watered down - we weren't sure. As far as service goes - our server was great, but the front desk is a huge clusterf*ck. There's no great place to line up to pay your bill, so everyone gets really bunched up. The hostess desk needs to be seriously pushed back a bit to have a bit more room. Also, when we arrived, we tried to give our name to the hostess at the table, who told us that we actually had to give our name to a girl holding a clipboard. It was a bit confusing - this process really needs to be a bit more streamlined. One thing that this place could benefit from - a better dishwasher. Both of our coffee cups AND our water glasses were dirty when we first sat down. We asked for new, and our waitress brought coffee cups filled with coffee, so we really didn't have a chance to check them. Overall, an ok breakfast place. I would take a bigger crowd here because the menu is quite extensive. Some bright spots with the food (yummy pancakes) but terrible coffee... the interior is bright and clean, but the service could use a few tweaks.
(3)
Maher A.

The menu has a variety of types of eggs and pancakes which is a good thing to give people more chances of getting what they like. However, I did not feel that it is special. The omelet I got was good and the pancake was too. But I prefer the original house of pancake.
(4)
Nate F.

Not too impressed with this place. True, it's good value and good location for the area - and a bustling, open atmosphere - but the food just could not convert me. Most of my party of 7 felt the same way. I found the coffee that morning to be below average, and the food was just grossly over-portioned. The diner aspect of it appeared on the plate like a blown-up photograph, and it kind of just grossed me out. I ended up eating about half my pancakes, and tried other people's omelets, all just ok. The red pepper bennie was actually the best thing we had, and at that it could've been much better. If you get the red pepper bennie this is probably a 2.5 star place, but for everyone else it was 2/5.

D. K.

Surprisingly, Eggsperience is quite enjoyable. You don't get the gourmet sweet pancakes or trendy atmosphere that other brunch places in the city offer, but there's LOTS of room (good for groups), and not usually a wait. The food is dependable, and it's fast.

Jen T.

I'm SO glad that there's another breakfast place like this in the neighborhood. I was getting a little sick of Yolk, and needed a new spot. Here's a rundown of the positives: went for brunch on a Sunday and only waited 3 minutes, they left a pitcher of water & a carafe of coffee on the table so we didn't have to flag anyone down for a refill, the portions are HUGE for a good price...not to mention really good, the restaurant itself is bright, clean & spacious. The only tiny little negative was that the food was sort of lukewarm. My omelette & hashbrowns could have been a little warmer. Other than that, though, it was a great EGGSPERIENCE! :) Definitely will go back.

Amanda P.

OH MY GOSH. This place is great. When my boyfriend and I arrived on a Sunday morning the line was so long we almost turned around, but I'm glad we didn't! The wait was actually super short; I was expecting at least 45 minutes to an hour, but it was probably 10 to 15 minutes. When I was perusing the menu I just HAD to order the famous baked apple pancake. I received my order and was astonished at how HUGE it was! It was literally the size of a large cast iron pan. Not only was it huge, but it was sooo tasty. Not much like a pancake but more like a dessert. I loved every bite and was wishing for more later on in the day! Definitely go here for a tasty breakfast and big selection.

Melissa M.

YUM!!! When you're craving breakfast for lunch or dinner, this is the place. I visited today for the first time and had breakfast for lunch. I could've had lunch for lunch because they have that option as well, but I opted for breakfast for lunch. I had a ham and cheese omelet that was served with hash browns and toast.and it was so yummy! The eggs/omelet was nice and fluffy and all good. The only bad thing I can say is that I wish they gave more hash browns. The omelet itself is huge, but I like to eat my hash browns with the omelet to offset. The orange juice is fresh and pulp-free. Delish!! BUT... $4 a glass!! A little much, but it was good. The prices over all are a little on the high side, but then again this won't be an everyday place for me. However, I will definitely have to return a few more times. There were so many good options on the menu that I'm dying to go back and try some more... I definitely have to try the pancakes and maybe I'll try the lunch. The sandwiches looked really good too.

Eggsperience is perfect when you have guests; perfect when it's just a spur of the moment "I need breakfast and it's 5p.m." This place is hopping, bright and pretty loud when packed. If you love Lox, you will ADORE the Lox scrambler. Perfectly blended scrambled eggs, large pieces of smoked salmon, cream cheese and green onions. If you can bear no guilt, take up the server's offer of the pancake option as your side instead of toast. These pancakes will rival your mother's easily. I know, I was shocked too. If you like heat, take on the Caliente wrap. You'll be thankful there's a pitcher of ice water at your table. So, not great for conversation, but you'll probably be too busy eating to care. Enjoy!!!

I agree with the other raters, so glad to see another 24-hour option besides Tempo, and this location is great for it. Had breakfast for dinner tonight and while the place was mostly empty, the service was good and the food came out fast and piping hot. The decaf coffee was really tastey too. Prices are comparable to Tempo or Nookies or even Yolk. A famous movie star, currently directing a play in Chicago sat at the table next to us, so that was a thrill.

I had breakfast for dinner here last night and liked it a lot. The service was very attentive and friendly. The restaurant itself is very bright and spacious. It was almost completely empty except for my friend and I and another table or two. I bet this place is going to be packed on the weekends though, like the other diners in the area. As for food, they have millions of options on their menu. I opted for apple pancakes while my friend got the tuna salad sandwich with sweet potato fries. The pancakes and fries were out of this world good. I also had a caramel macchiato, which was ok. 4 stars because it seems a tad pricier than its competitors, Yolk and Tempo. Would definitely come here again!

Huge crowds out front made me fear a long wait standing with flashy buzzy thing in hand, but our group was seated quickly. The portion sizes here are monstrously huge, but that didn't prevent us all from overordering anyway. We had the pear walnut crepes, 3 different types of omelets (try the egg white special), and the oatmeal berry bowl. Service is quick and friendly, and the coffee is overflowing. Think of a nicer, friendlier IHOP meets Cheesecake Factory and you've got this place. Glad to see a solid brunch spot finally come to River North.

The eggsperience started off poorly. The hostess that seated us made customers re-route for her path instead of the other way around. Then she sat us at a seat with liquid on it. After I asked the busser for the third time if he could wipe the seat, he gave it a "wipe with attitude" and walked away WI the same frown with which he arrived. I was prepared to leave before the pleasant waitress showed up. She was the sole bright spot on an overall poor customer service eggsperience. I only gave it 3 stars because the oatmeal, pancakes and Tommys Skillet all had good visual presentation and good flavor. But would I return? Probably not. Hopefully their service will improve and then it will be eggcellent!

Food is good and fresh. Wait staff is pleasant. SUGGESTION for Mgmt: When it is cold outside, put up some kind of wind barracade. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. We sat at the very first table and we needed to keep our coats on the whole time. I hate eating with a heavy winter coat on.

Oh where do you go late at night, feeling totally beat, just want some food and quick? That's how I landed at Eggsperience after midnight one night and I was pleasantly surprised. A little bit better than a normal breakfast diner type place. Service was a bit awkward with a waitress that didn't speak good English but other than that- decent food, fast service and GREAT hours! :)

We loved this place. Only happened across it because it was near our hotel and, let's face it, the name is cute... but it was delicious! The portions are big, but we cleaned our plates (probably ill-advised... it was too good!). The coffee is great and they give you a little pitcher of it at your table. We tried the corned beef hash and a scramble--the scramble was one of the best I've had, and I order them frequently! Moist eggs, lots of cheese, generous with the add-ins. And friendly service, too. Try it!

Eggsperience was a convenient solution after a late night out. The hostess and wait staff were courteous and prompt....they get 4-5 stars. I ordered a veggie crepe dish with canadian bacon on the side. The canadian bacon was good however the crepe was sweet, which I found a bit odd, however I assume they use the same crepes for their veggie dish as they do for the desert crepes....not bad, just not my preference. If I wanted something sweet, I would have ordered a desert crepe. The ingredients on the inside were fresh and yummy, however the consistency of the crepe was a bit mushier than I prefer. I will go back and try a different dish.

Woohoo as good as it gets for breakfast food. My wife and I about an hour and a half south of Chicago and we don't really have much to choose from for breakfast food. We LOVED the Eleni's Eggwhite Delight. The thing was a monster, and you got toast, of course. It was crazy for us! Would have appreciated the waiter really emphasizing that the omellette was HUGE, rather than just saying, it's big but not too much. Good times! Go there if you have a chance. Great coffee and a good atmosphere for couples and singles.

Got a really nice, cheap, and huge breakfast here with a friend the other morning. The staff was really nice, the potato pancakes were super delicious, and I really liked how they just left pitchers of water sitting on the tables. It was fairly busy, but we felt no rush to leave from the staff as we sat and drank coffee and chatted for a while after the meal.

if you happen to make the mistake of not leaving to go to sunday brunch until noon, you'll find that there are tons of tables in here and they turn over quick...so if the lobby is packed with waiting customers, that probably only means 20 minutes...that's about the best you're gonna do in the city. freshly squeezed juices, thick ham cut off the bone, corned beef hash...awesome. fresh steel cut oats with loads of toppings...awesome. chocolate-banana crepes...OMGWTFBBQ!!! this might be the best thing i have ever put in my mouth at breakfast. i am not kidding. it ain't hershey syrup they're putting on there...creamy chocolate ganache...and not too much. they nailed it. for the two of us, it's usually about $30. slightly pricey for breakfast perhaps...but you're guaranteed a good meal made fresh.

GREAT place! We went on a Sunday, around 1pm, and were expecting a long wait. It wasn't bad at all - less than 5 minutes. The food is delicious with generous portions, and you can find plenty of healthier options on the menu if you're looking for some. I got the Country Bennie (eggs benedict made with steamed spinach, tomato, and roasted pepper) and I got the Hollandaise on the side. It tasted great, and was pretty healthy. Other items our group ordered included the chorizo omelette, strawberry crepes, and the humongous (but yummy) apple pancake. Service was prompt, and and our food came quickly (especially helpful when you're eating with a young child). The decor is....well...cheerful. Yellow walls, lots of windows/natural light, and a "bar" area where you can sit near the kitchen.

Came the morning of July 5th, and the place was packed. Didn't wait very long, but probably won't be back unless I'm hungry for some breakfast food between 12AM-4AM. Food is average, if at all.

I love breakfast and here in Long Beach we have a plethora of delicious breakfast places that kind of have my expectations skewed a bit. That's not to say that Eggsperience is bad, the menu is huge and a lot of the stuff on it is healthy which is definitely a departure from most breakfast places. The food came out light speed. The service wasn't spectacular but it wasn't bad either, it was incredibly easy. There was already a pitcher of water on the table when we sat down and she left a pot of coffee on the table and my beverage needs were completely satisfied. There is tons of room inside and they are open 24 hours which is definitely a plus. The next time I'm in the Chi however, I'll be looking for other breakfast options or I may just make pizza my brunch choice. Good, not great, which is what the pizza is.

Eggsperience is the best breakfast place I know. Besides this location they have a few locations in the surrounding burbs. The food is always fresh and hot and the serving size does not dissapoint. Oh and i cant forget the fresh squeezed OJ, its just like mom used to make, but a bit more expensive. I've tried over twelve dishes from their breakfast and lunch menus and have yet to be disappointed.

Liked it a lot. There is competition from a place right down the street, so they are serious about competing for your business. They've put a lot into their interior, which is very well done. I'll definitely go back.

I think I could eat a spinach, ham, and cheese scrambler every day for a month before I got tired of them. My only complaint would be that the pancakes, a breakfast staple for me, are pretty mediocre - roughly on par with IHOP.

Jessica F.

Yum! This place is great, I'm always looking for more breakfast options near my apartment. Quite the eggsperience, ha ha. This place has so many choices on the menu, but my BF and I went for the choose your own scramblers. I had it with chorizo, cheddar and onions, and he got cheddar and ham. Both came with hash browns, and a choice of pancakes or toast/english muffin. The bill was around 30 bucks, not horrible but certainly not cheap either. Good service, would definitely come back, am eggstatic about this place!

Perfect breakfast atmosphere. The food was great as was the staff and they allowed substitutions for any items on the menu. O yeah, the portions are huge which made it a good follow up to the dinner I had at Graham Elliot the evening before!

Doug C.

This place was only OK. I came because of the 4 star reviews, I had the blueberry Belgium and the blueberries just didn't taste right. Wife had the pancakes and they tasted like something made from a box. Daughter had chocolate chip kids pancakes and loved them. Service was good but not overly friendly. Little disappointed overall.

Peter L.

Eggsperience does your basic brunch well -- not too pricey, decent portions, quality grub and they've got some healthy stuff too that tastes pretty good (California Eggscrambler ain't bad). But being open 24 hours a day makes this place awesome. The name is kinda lame, but I'm a fan.

this gem opened up not far from the homestead, and man am i thankful. soooo pleased that this joint is 24/7, and im sure everyone sobering up in the club district at 4am is as well. everything tastes pretty fresh, and is crafted together awesomely. not to mention, the selection of tea is phenomenal. i'll definitely be back!

My boyfriend and I went to Chicago for a 5 day vacation and ended up eating here twice cause it was so good! I'm a huge brunch person, and that's one reason I love Chicago - cause there's always a few really great brunch places in any neighborhood. For River North, this place is definitely one of the best options. The first time we went was on a Sunday around 11am, and though it was completely packed, the seater promised us it would take 20 mins to get a table. I totally didn't believe her, but sure enough, 20 mins later we had a table. My boyfriend got an eggs benedict with ham, sausage and some other meat on it and loved it. I got pancakes with baked apple and it was to die for! The next time we went was during the week and we got a table right away. I got the strawberry pancakes and it was good (though the apple pancakes were better!) and my bf got a skillet plate (also not as good as the benedict!). Both times, service was fine. They're very good at moving people in and out, though we never felt rushed. The only thing that prevents me from giving it 5 stars is the noise and the crowdedness. The first time we were seated in the back around the corner near the kitchen and it was so loud that we could barely have a conversation and the tables are placed about a foot away from each other. If you get seated in the front though, it's fine and much more enjoyable.

We decided to check out Eggsperience on a pleasant Sunday morning. It was around 10:30am and the place was packed. We waited about 10 minutes and were seated. First of all, the place is really loud and the tables are really close together so maneuvering can be a little tricky. Secondly, the food portions are absolutely MASSIVE. Thanks to the other yelpers we kinda knew that before going. That said, to really appreciate the portion size you really have to see it for yourself. I felt like the dude from Man vs Food trying to finish my plate. I really wanted a shirt or my picture taken and put on the wall! This was a good eggsperience and I'm glad i checked it out. I look forward to coming back maybe not on a Sunday morning though. I think its a great addition to the area.

My bf and I went here for a late Saturday brunch (around 3p) and there was NO wait at all. The food was yummy and served in pretty large portions, so come hungry. They have a pretty vast menu & some very interesting breakfast drinks (try the mango orange juice!) The only negative was the pancakes: they were a bit dry; we were hoping for some fluffy ones (the dry batch may have been a fluke, though). The wait staff was very friendly. Overall, the restaurant is inexpensive, clean, 24 hours & offers free wi-fi!

Thought it was Good! Its a production restaurant. Yeah there's a little wait time. 0-20 min,(when it's packed) but the portions are generous and the taste was good. If your looking for a quiet, relaxing place to eat breakfast this isn't it.

Really great weekend breakfast hang-over place..cheap and cheerful! Ordered the mile high omlette and it was massive! Barely was able to make a dent in it..came with a side of pancakes which were delicious...definately recommend this place..

Frederica B.

Don't get the potato pancakes! They were so large and thick, the middle did not have the nice, crispy feel to them and seemed undercooked. However, the portion was big. My tip is for the management is to many small potato pancakes instead of 3 big ones. The acai smoothie I ordered had a slight chalky taste to it. My boyfriend ordered the banana waffle and felt the portion size for the waffle (only one) was too small. The music here is lame. Avril Lavigne and 90's hits. :( Our server who was from Bulgaria (first time I ever met someone from there) was very friendly and prompt. Hats off to him!

Mediocre at best. Bad Benedict - the hollandaise was flavorless. My husband had a smoothie which was OK. Expensive. Keep looking. I live in Chicago which has so many great food options. This place must be for tourists that don't know better.

Its opened 24hours!!!! Chicago needs more 24hour places. So far I've only tried their crepes and it was really good. The oatmeal was just ok, nothing special. The restaurant is pricey.. $6 for a bowl of oatmeal.. $8.99 for crepes, but whatever. Its a fun place in the middle of downtown to hang out anytime of the day.

Just what the River North needed a local breakfast place that we can walk to! Everyone is talking about this place and I was so excited to try it, because I love breakfast! The food was excellent, waffles yum, egg scramblers yum, bacon yum, hash browns yum...seriously it was just delicious! Bonus it's open 24 hours so for a pregnant lady it was meant to be. The service was fantastic, it's clean, tons of tables and I am sure it will be a hit. They have breakfast and lunch and a large menu so you can try a variety of dishes. Overall it's fantastic! :)

Eggsperience is a gem and a must restaurant to everyone who wants to have the best breakfast in the Chicago area - DO NOT MISS!! You'll regret not going there and ending up at a mediocre place, over paying and not enjoying as you will if you go to Eggsperience and see for yourself! Always busy (the word is out) but you'll be seated within a short time (large place), great and efficient friendly service, huge portions and unbelievable delicious food. I cannot wait for Eggsperience to come to my home town - Los Angeles.

We were vacationing in Chicago, and our initial plan was to try to save money on breakfast by eating at the hotel. Luckily, that plan didn't work out -- we slept in past the hotel's cutoff time, and so we searched through Yelp to find a close place to get breakfast. When we got to Eggsperience, there was no wait, and we were seated in their clean, comfortable dining area. After reading the reviews on Yelp, I knew to expect a wide variety of egg dishes, but when I opened the menu, I was still blown away by the selection. I ordered the Lox Benedict, and it was amazing. The eggs were poached just right, and there was an ample quantity of salmon. I on't know if I can ever go back to regular Eggs Benedict again after these. My son ordered the chocolate and banana crepes, and I tried a bite of those as well. Quite a contrast to what I was already eating, but delicious none the less. If you have a sweet tooth, these are the crepes for you (as well as many other selections on their menu). As much as I want to try other breakfast places while staying in Chicago, I have a feeling I will be eating here at least one more time. There's just so many good looking items on the menu, and since there's open 24 hours, I'll probably sneak out and get something at 3AM. :)

YAY ... Yummy 24 hours a day BREAKFAST!!! This place was very clean and comfortable. I was in there at 9pm and had eggggcellent breakfast!! The prices were very good and the restaurant was clean. They offered a very wide variety of choices. My coffee cup never went empty and there was a pitcher of water on the table the entire time. The eggggsssss were nice and fluffy and the potatoes were done to perfection. I had bacon with my breakfast and it was soooo yummy! This restaurant was within walking distance of the hotel where I stayed (Kimpton's own Hotel Palomar Chicago), very convenient I must say. The service was friendly and with a smile. I went here twice during my stay. You should try it any time of the day or night!

Mishka A.

Open 24 hours, light and charming atmosphere, HUGE portions - what more can you ask for? I've been here a few times since it opened and have tried their pancakes and scramblers. The portions are enough to share for at least 2 people, I've always gotten a takeout box to go. What I've tried: -Banana pancakes: delicious, 4 or 5 pancakes, with tons of bananas in and on top, yum! -Egg scramblers: basically a large omelette with your choice of ingredients. Comes with hash browns and toast/pancakes. -Orange juice: fresh squeezed, comes in frosted glass (to make juice cold instead of using ice)! -Sweet potato fries: love love love these! get a bowl of them, easy to share. Price is decent for the location but expect to pay $10-15 per entree. For me, that's steep for breakfast food, so no 5 stars, but the deal is not bad since you get leftovers to take home!

Ashley S.

Thank You EGGSPERIENCE! Eggsperience is extremely clean and refreshing from the decor to the food with everything you could ask for in a breakfast menu--and-- it's served in great timing and tastes and looks as good as the menu description sounds. Definitely not greasy, great for a guilt-free late night or early morning meal. Always full of characters... Thank you for making the end of my 21st yummmmmy!! ( Try the Apple Pecan Pancakes or Egg White Delight)

When I get that rare Sunday off, I love to go for brunch. This was my first time at Eggsperience. I was impressed. It was pretty easy to get to. We got there after 2pm, so there wasn't much of a wait. Luckily, we were seated at a spacious booth. I hate it when they seat us at one of those tiny two seaters.The decor was absolutely adorable. I loved the egg theme. Our server must have thought I was indecisive because he came back so many times to see if we were ready to order. Well, there were so many choices. I don't just stick to one kind of food. You know, how some people eat the exact same thing every time. This time I went with the breakfast panini. The only complaint I have about the sandwich was that the bottom was a little soggy. I don't know if it was because it sat too long before they brought it to me, the bread was too delicate, or both. Otherwise, I enjoyed it and especially the done-just-right hash browns. Mmmm. The coffee wasn't spectacular, but I give them points for leaving a carafe like they do at IHOP. I like to customize my own cup. I hate it when I'm halfway done and they would come by and fill my cup and mess up the balance of sugar and cream. And I also hate it when I'm waiting for a refill and no one comes by. Problem solve by the self-serve carafe. I do blame them for me not finshing my meal. I kept drinking the coffee because it was there. Well, it gave me a chance to visit their bathroom. It was a bit confusing to find because I had to walk to the other side to get to it. It looked like I was going to walk into the kitchen. Next time I want to try La Portabella or Eleni's Egg White Delight. No, wait I want to try out the Triple Crown Waffle or the Oven Baked Apple Pancake. Too many choices!

Gina C.

I was very disappointed in my experience at Eggsperience. Whenever I get brunch, I order two eggs - one over easy and the other scrambled. I know this might not be the "norm," but I have never had any problems anywhere else I have been. I was told they could not do this. I asked why? What is so hard to make one egg scrambled and one over easy? I was informed that they could do it, but they would not. With no other explanation. I found this absolutely ridiculous. I live close and thought this would be a good brunch place, however after this experience I will not return. Go down the street to Yolk. Better food and THEY WILL ACCOMMODATE the customer's requests!

My husband and I came in around 9am on a Sunday. We both wanted eggs Benedict and they had 6 different styles to choose from! My husband ordered the "traditional" with ham (sliced thick) and I ordered the "Irish" made with (homemade) corn beef hash - they were both awesome!!!! very large portions - also served with hash brown potatoes that we were not able to finsh....great coffee, and the BEST service! Quality all around!

Kara M.

As far as late night food joints go this place wasn't too bad...the omelet i ordered was huge and i like anything with bacon so you really don't have to go that far to please me. unfortunately for me i have a lot of yelp reviews and bookmarks which have led to growing very ummm rotund and circle like so i had kicked carbs while i was there and didn't get to try any of the pancakes, waffles, potatoes or french toast...oh my! but my friends did and they felt just meh about them. we all had the coffee and it was pretty good, not stale which was most important in my book. my only gripe is that the waitress was a little short with us and i know it was late night and busy but still don't get bothered by our asking for a 4th coffee cup if there are only 3 on the table i suppose we could have shared but i kinda like having my own cup ya know? overall, a solid 3.5 and i'll go back..when i can eat pancakes

Fabian B.

Busy place on a Sat morning, yet still only 10mins wait. Not too bad. Seated sort of quickly. Food is exactly what you order - nothing more nothing less. Eggs is Eggs, Bacon is Bacon, Sausage is Sausage, Orange Juice is Concentrate too sweet. Service is not overly attentive, again, just OK, again nothing more, nothing less. 32.65 without tip for Coffee, OJ ,and 2 x Eggs with Meat is too expensive in my opinion - $25 would have been very sufficient. So no, even though the food is OK, its not worth returning as this place is def lacking of value for money.

Eh. basic, bland dishes. Nothing special. Food is just stomach filling. Had to pour on the ketchup to get some flavor.

Can I say "almost perfect"? I have been to Chicago several times a year for the past few years, and did not know about this place till recently. Now back at home in NYC, I still miss this place. What is there to not like? The atmosphere is warm and friendly, servers are efficient and nice, and most important- the food is GOOD. Why do I miss this place so much? Of course the sunny, friendly ambience is increidbly inviting. The expansive menu filled with mostly-egg items also enticing. Friendly and mostly-efficient servers are always nice. But the FOOD-- this is what I miss most of all. Hubby and I used to get the steak and eggs meal- two eggs prepared your way, toast or pancakes, and a fairly-nice steak with hash browns on the side. Yum...a staple we used to get quite often during our stay there. Another good option is the omelette- My fave is the portobello mushroom with asiago cheese- can you say FLAVOR? Just blew my mind away- soft-yet-firm eggs perfectly seasoned with delicious asiago cheese and melding wonderfully with the earthy flavor of portobello. Pair this with hasbrowns, rye toast, butter, and preserve of choice- blackberry, blueberry, strawberry or marmalade-- and a nice brew of hot coffee and you've got a winner. Eggsperience, we miss you in NYC!

Delicious and so much food and they put a Kraft of coffee on your table :) I had the egg white omelette and it was so good. I love that they bake it and it was delicious...huge portions but you can always get a to go box. Loved it and will definitely come back

Combine the best elements of Yolk, Tempo Cafe, Orange, and Jamba Juice and what do you get...Eggsperience! A spacious location with a contemporary-country decor greets you at this 24-hour River North establishment. Friendly waitstaff, excellent menu selection, a nice array of smoothies plus fresh juice, and most importantly, excellent food quality and execution lay the groundwork for happy breakfast dining. My new favorite 24-hour restaurant in Chicago! 3/5 stars: Recommended.

Helena D.

Friend and I came here the second day that it opened up -- we were craving something savory and with eggs, and this place delivered. The omelettes hit the spot and we appreciate that the ingredients were fresh (unlike what we normally get at Tempo Cafe). The decor is a bit bright and reminiscent of 3-star hotel restaurants that you might see in mid-sized town when you're traveling on business. However, it's comfortable, impeccably clean, and has a wait staff that is quick, friendly, and aims to please. We will note that it is a bit odd for the hostess to walk over to our table to inquire how things are -- when she wasn't serving us or within hearing distance. When we were there, there were plenty of servers in training/shadowing the senior staff - perhaps the attention was a bit overkill, but it doesn't change the fact that this place is a great neighborhood addition and will be a welcome sight at 2 am. We are definitely coming back - elastic waist band eating pants, here we go.

good breakfast food, and the best part is that its open all night on the weekends! I cant count the times we have ended up here at 5 in the morning after going out! I love the eleni egg white delite. Its perfectly fluffy, and always great! I love their sweet potato fries also. Definitely want to come at a more reasonable hour soon!

Michael P.

Fast service, consistently good food, and reasonable prices have kept me coming back to Eggsperience. Even when there is a line, the wait is never long because they have mastered the art of turning over tables to get people seated (not to mention they have the space to accommodate a crowd). I ordered the tuna sandwich on my most recent visit, and it was no joke: tuna salad to the gills! I was hoping to have it with provolone but they didn't have it, so I had it with cheddar. It was still pretty good. Also, I was hoping for wheat bread, and I thought I asked for it, but the bread I had was grainy and had nuts in it. Not a big deal, but the consistency of the nuts in the bread took away from the tuna a little bit. That may have been my mistake, but if you have nut allergies, be careful.

24 hour breakfast place in the city? FINALLY!! Seriously, this city is majorly lacking in 24 hour places to eat, especially of the breakfast type. Though it might be dangerous, I am very okay with Eggsperience's new Chicago location. Went here with a friend a few weeks after it opened. We both got skillets, he got tea and I got coffee. Service was incredibly fast, (though I'm guessing it is overly staffed since they just opened) and our food was delicious. Portions were not huge, but pretty decent. However, the coffee was BAD. It tasted like it had been made from used grounds or something. That was my one disappointment, and I hope they are reading this, because GOOD coffee is crucial at a breakfast joint, for me at least. Maybe it was a fluke, but either way, I'd definitely check this place out.

Some friends and I were visiting Chicago for a few days and one day we were looking to start our day with a decent breakfast. Thanks to Yelp we were able to find Eggsperience. We came in on a Monday morning around 9AM and were quickly seated. Service was good and very attentive. The food came out very quickly and were very generous portions. I ordered The Caliente which is a burrito with chorizo, eggs, cheese, and jalapenos. It was very good and also very filling. I was absolutely stuffed after eating the whole thing. I honestly was full after having eaten just half, but I liked it so much I ate the whole thing.

Very happy with this restaurant. If you're a vegetarian, try the banockburn omelet. The service is good, and it is hands-down one of the best breakfast joints in Chicago. Note: If you read my previous review, I stand by staying away from the Apple Pancake. Try the Original Pancake house's Apple Pancake instead.

Not so much. Go to bongo room instead. This restaurant is a tourist restaurant that grants big portions but little flavor. Your standard ihop actually tastes better. Just kind of boring in the flavor department. That being said, our server was excellent but I don't think she was the standard as we witnessed other servers having drama with one another as they paced back and forth near our table.

We went here on Memorial Day weekend at a very busy time (11 a.m.) and only had to wait about 5 minutes. They move fast here. Our waitress was SO sweet & pleasant. CHOCOLATE & BANANA CREPES! SO GOOD!!!! I also had a pomegranate breakfast smoothie that was very good.

Great, quick breakfast spot with fast service and satisfying food. Plenty of seating that made the place feel spacious. There are plenty of good vegetarian options that go a little beyond your run of the mill diner food, but not much. Theres nothing too terribly creative on the menu, but everything was well done and very satisfying. The eggs were fluffy and perfectly cooked and the hashbrowns not too greasy. Worth another visit and was definitely very filling!

Children loves it. Very clean. Prices are affordable. Wait staff if very good. Skillets were a big hit with the kids. Crepes were very good. Eggs Benedict were perfectly cooked.

What an awful eggsperience we had. 1. Hostess took a party of our same size before us, even though we were there first. When we objected, she said our table was "over there, still being cleared." 2. Lattes arrived cold. When we mentioned this to a member of the waitstaff, he apologized and said he'd make them again. He never came back. 3. Husband's crepes were supposed to come with a compote on the side. Our waitress disappeared for long time. When we finally got her attention, she said she'd get it but didn't return til much later. Meanwhile the rest of us had finished breakfast and my husband was still waiting. 4. Waitress finally returned; she could see the look on my husband's face and asked if he was upset. He said yes, we talked to the manager, here are the reasons we're upset. She coldly said I'm sorry you feel that way; you're free to go. And she started hostilely clearing our plates. Good-bye crepes! Since the food was mediocre and lukewarm, and the service was TERRIBLE, we won't ever come back here again!

Pancakes and smoothies to die for. You pretty much can't go wrong with anything on the menu. And portions are huge! Better yet, when I asked for fruit sides to add to my pancakes, they were free. Banana Pancakes + apple side for extra topping is to die for. Great stuff.

Today was the 2nd time I have been to this restaurant. I like to give a place more than one chance before I make a decision about it. My first experience here was not very good. I ordered the egg scrambler and to say my eggs were runny is an understatement. My eggs were sitting in what looked like yellow water...disgusting. I couldn't even eat it. So after that I thought that I never needed to go there again. Well today, my husband wanted to try this place so I thought I would give it one more try. He ordered the egg scrambler and a large orange juice and he thought it was just OK. I ordered the skillet and a large orange juice. Both meals come with pancakes. We had to ask our waiter for our orange juice (which was room temperature) 3 times before he remembered it. We had to ask out waiter for butter and syrup for our pancakes which took forever. The ketchup bottle was nearly empty. So our food finally arrives and mine had a hair in it. I told our waiter and he took it back to the kitchen. Within about 2 minutes my plate was back with a ton of eggs on it. It looked strange because there were so many eggs. I pushed aside the eggs and saw that my original meal was hidden underneath, minus the section that had a hair in it. They tried to pass it off as a new meal. I was completely disgusted by this, the horrible waiter, how long it took to get everything and the taste of the food. One of the main problems with this place is they do not have enough waitstaff. So the waitstaff are all running around like chickens with their heads cut off. This place does not have the standard of service that it should and the food, for its quality, is definitely overpriced. I will not be going back to this place ever again.

food: my husband and i stopped by eggsperience before our plane ride home...and good thing we did! we were full until we got back to LA! we ordered an omlette and their delicious strawberry nutella crepe - i highly recommend it! service: super super friendly. like SUPER friendly :) final thoughts: it's like a fancy, nicer version of ihop...with yummy food

Alex P.

Overwhelming, enticing menu, but underwhelming taste. This is a perfectly fun and convenient place for brunch-- food options for any preference, short wait (10 mins for 3 people around 11:30 am on a Sunday), huge portions, and bright, clean, spacious and festive atmosphere. Personal carafe of coffee was a nice bonus for caffeine fiends like me. But... the food tasted bland and its mass-produced quality was apparent. So, if you're looking for a welcoming brunch spot for a big group, Eggsperience would probably satisfy you. That said, I was a bit disappointed with the food. Of course, this place's biggest perk is its 24-hour status, and I imagine the food would be perfect as a late-night meal.

Nick H.

Not good. We are relatively new to the area and over the past few weeks we've been trying out new brunch spots. This is one we will not go to again. The wait was around 20 minutes and I do appreciate the fact that they got through a HUGE mess of people waiting around in a relatively short amount of time. Our waiter was also friendly so that's another plus. The food, though, was cursed at best. I had the "crepes" (basically a rolled up full size pancake) and my wife has some egg-based thing that looked like it was from a can. I also added a side of hash-browns that tasted like cardboard. For the prices they charge they should have a far higher standard of food. I would definitely not recommend this place if you enjoy foods with flavor and/or avoiding toursits.

Met a friend here for brunch before I took off for my flight on Sunday morning. We got in just in time as there was a long wait when we had left. I ordered the simple two eggs scrambled, bacon, pancake, potatoes and coffee. Delicious and for reasonable prices however our service was troublesome. Our waitress didn't really smile and rushed my friend and I through our meal as she started to pick up our dishes without asking us if we were done not once but twice. It has left a sour taste in my mouth that I don't think I would return on my own initiative.

The apple pecan pancakes will not disappoint. It's like a taffy apple and pecan roll all in one. The restaurant is cheerful and bright and just looks like a good morning and freshly squeezed orange juice. I left there feeling warm and fuzzy despite the apparent frostbite on my cheeks from the walk getting there.

Would get a 2.5 if available. I came across this place randomly one day and seeing a name like "Eggsperience" my love for eggs took over and i had to go in. After seating by myself I was given a pitcher of water and carafe of coffee. I thought maybe I looked really thirsty?? No. Here everything is served to please about 3-4 people. I was hoping for an exciting original egg menu which would have poached eggs on something crazy with some crazy sauce over it that wasn't hollandaise. Yet seemed like a standard breakfast affair of egg bennies, skillets, and omelettes, with their lunch menu featuring burgers and sandwiches, nothing egg-oriented. I ordered an omelette and decided to go for fruit instead of hash browns, thank goodness due to the size if the thing they brought out to me. It was huge, and didn't look much like an omelette but more like a quiche maybe? It was thick cheesy and filled with veggies and I enjoyed the half of it I could take down. The fruit side was lackluster and boring but needed after the cholesterol monster I had just ingested. My waiter was attentive and polite. Overall no major complaints but with a name like eggsperience I wanted more originality. Would go back due to my fondness of breakfast food but maybe would take a friend to split with.

We had a "hot and cold" eggsperience this morning. The corned beef hash skillet I ordered was fantastic and my husband's strawberry cheesecake french toast was cold when it arrived to the table. When we noticed our server, she proceeded to then touch his food and take his plate. When she returned, she had his plate (bite already taken out and the same toast she touched) it had just been warmed in the microwave, including the strawberries! She quickly dropped off the plate and walked away. We were a little stunned to say the least. When she came by a few minutes later to check on us, we told her this was not ok and she took the plate to remake it. She notified the manager and pointed us out to him so we were expecting at least a visit if not a price adjustment. Neither happened. I would say this could have just been a fluke but there were other red flags too. The bathrooms had no soap or hot water and when I was leaving the restroom, a server turned quickly and stepped on my foot. Pair that with the fruit on the floor under my barstool and it was all we could do to get out of their fast enough! I can see that this place could have potential and has a few great dishes but needs a major improvements in management and efficiency!

A friend recently chided me for thinking Elliot's Oyster Bar in Seattle was a crappy restaurant. "What did you get?" she asked. "My date had a troll king salmon, and I had two monstrous crab legs. The crab legs were delicious, but everything else about the place was way too ordinary to justify the price." "How were the oysters?" she asked. "Uhhh... I really don't dig oysters," I said. "Then shut the fuck up!" "Everyone on Yelp gave it--" "Shut the fuck up!" she said. "It's in the name! If you eat somewhere and they tell you what to order in the name, and you don't eat the thing in the name, you're a fucking idiot." "I don't really want to be your friend anymore," I said. Now she is dead to me. Nevertheless the experience stuck in my mind. Although I was tantalized by the waffles and French toast and pancakes on the behemoth menu at Eggsperience, I knew I was going to be chowing down on some unborn chicken fetuses. Based simply on my egg-related experiences, I would give Eggsperience a four-star review. Know well what I failed to read when I skimmed the other Yelp reviews: these omelets are huge. My lilliputian server did not so much serve my Eleni's Egg White Delight so much as she was the vessel by which this monstrosity attacked the Tokyo of my then-empty table. Consider ordering the omelets here at the tail end of Ramadan. And my omelet was not merely good, it was delicious. It was so good I felt a rage boiling inside me at having ordered the healthy option from the numerous omelet choices. Eleni's Fascist Surprise has egg whites whipped to a thickness that could stop a point-blank rifle round intermingled with spinach, mushrooms, low-fat mozzarella, and roasted red peppers. As I sank my teeth into the first bite of delight I cursed my meal's lack of legitimate cheese that didn't come from bulimic cows or-- Oh God-- ham. Since my parents did not teach me boundaries when I was growing up, I asked neighboring diners how their meals were. That's when the trouble started. Everyone with an omelet or other eggsperience was happy and similarly daunted by the Herculean task that lay before them if they wished to finish their unborn product of chicken promiscuity. The diners who ate ANYTHING ELSE answered my questions with a lukewarm shrug. "Surely not! Surely a place that can make Mussolini Egg White Surprise taste delicious cannot screw up something as unfuck-upable as French toast!" I said to a 3-year-old. "He says that while it doesn't taste like a turd, it's pretty much just standard issue French toast. Now he will have to go to community college," the child's mother said. I bit into my side of pancakes and confirmed this tale of woe for myself. It was truly difficult to give a shit about whether the person who cooked my pancakes lived or died or found love or indeed any purchase in this cold dark world. If you follow the urging of my former friend above, perhaps you can balance the scales and redeem Eggsperience for their adequate food outside the realm of chickens deprived the chance to see the world outside their shells. I cannot in good conscience do the same. I would eat there again, most certainly, but let the name of the place steer you well. I wanted to give Eggsperience a four-star review based on the size and taste of my omelet alone, but one dish does not a restaurant make, especially not one with a mammoth menu like the one at Eggsperience.

I was EXcited to try this place. The line was EXceptionally long on a Sunday, so much so that we actually walked around the block to determine whether we wanted to go someplace else as we were EXtremely hungry and irritable. Still, our curiosity got the better of us and we decided to EXperiment. Wow. Just wow. The line did go faster than I EXpected. (The place is bigger than it looks; there is a whole hidden back section). I will admit I felt compelled to try a lot to give it a fair shake. I got the fresh squeezed orange juice which was EXactly what I needed to wake me up and put me in good spirits. The waffle with strawberry, blueberry and raspberry had an EXtra topping of sweetened granola which gave it the perfect crunch. Eggs were nothing short of EXceptional. I always order eggs thinking I want them and then I'm always disappointed when I don't like them- not here. I could not stop myself. The entire EXperience: EXquisite. EXcept: The name. I hate stupid puns. I find them eggspecially eggasperating.

the early bird really does get the worm. on a cold winter's morning, i met a few girlfriends here for a quick brunch catch up. the place was PACKED!! fortunately, two of us managed to arrive early enough to snag a coveted table. so i just rolled on in, plonked down and relished a cup of hot coffee from the carafe they had ordered. (that's right. if you order coffee, you get a carafe for your table!!) the portions here are redonkulous. at least they match the hefty prices. but what do you expect dining so close to the mag mile. back to the food...there was more than enough for several meals - not that you'd want to eat an omelette for three days straight. but... ingredients were fresh and flavorful, and service was fast and amicable. if i ever feel like dropping $20 on boozeless brunch and i am in the hood, i might consider stopping in again...

so i've past by EGGSPERIENCE numerous times and i gotta say the name of this place is so cheesy, but the fact that it is open 24 hours and has such a ridiculous name..i knew i had to try it & what better time to try it than at 4 in the morning after a long night of heavy drinking?! at 4AM...lemme tell you, EGGSPERIENCE DID NOT DISSAPOINT!!!! we were seated quickly & our server was really nice; nice enough to bear w/ my drunken antics. From what i remember my sis ordered oatmeal w/ fresh berries. my friend & i ordered french toast..but i do remember (even in my belligerent state) that i ordered the "yummy in my tummy" french toast that comes w/ strawberries & chocolate chips...but when the server brought it out there i just had a regular serving of french toast..no choco chips or strawberries to be found!!! =( but the server brought out some berries n choco chips to top it off. i also ordered a hot chocolate & it was a bit watered down but it was decent. the french toast was really good & i think the prices were decent..i think i'll have to come here for another EGGSPERIENCE maybe for sunday brunch (when im sober!)

I don't know why I crave a really great brunch place - my go to breakfast is a piece of cheese on toast or a berry smoothie. That being said, I am a woman who wants what she wants when she wants it and I WANT to know that I have found a reliably delicious brunch place. I had walked by Eggsperience a zillion times and though meh, some sort of regional Denny's. But today, after a brisk 7 mile walk with Cash Money he wanted a big bowl of kibble and I wanted some BRUNCH. When I got there the line was out the door and down the block. Sigh - but what ? Is that a counter, does it have open seats YES!!! ( One advantage of eating alone on occasion) I was promptly seated and given a menu, coffee, water and a big smile by a sweet and efficient waitress. After about 2 seconds I ordered the blueberry crepes and a side of crisp bacon. Read the paper for a bit , sipped on my perfect coffee, and viola, my food arrived. I have to say those were the best crepes I have had in ages. What I especially enjoyed was that the blueberry compote was on the side and tucked inside of each crepe were fresh blueberry's. Asked for extra butter, no problem, extra creme for the coffee, you betcha! the bacon was perfectly crisp and not a lot of fat... oh my....I am smitten! Is it gourmet - no- but for a fill up that tummy and read the paper and work in a little people watching, it was darn near perfect!

Came here for a carby pre-marathon breakfast, and within 10 minutes of grabbing a seat at the counter, the place was packed. I love that you can get breakfast 24/7 here - I wish there were more places like that in Atlanta (besides Waffle House). I ordered banana pancakes, hash browns, and turkey sausage, with OJ and coffee to drink. The OJ tasted concentrated and kind of spoiled, but the coffee was decent. The pancakes were actually really tasty, with bananas cooked into the batter AND sliced on top. Hashbrowns and sausage were nothing special, but they got the job done. Prices were reasonable, and service was fine. It was exactly what I needed that morning, but nothing that I would recommend as a special trip.

Great service! We were seated right away even though it was a busy place. Delicious breakfast, I had the Elena's omelette with multigrain pancakes and unlimited organic coffee. Egg white omelette so fluffy it filled almost the entire plate. All at a price that doesn't break the bank!

Danielle C.

One word review: "ehh" I ordered the protein omelette, it had egg whites, broccoli (seemed frozen, not fresh), chicken (super dry) and cheeses. It was humongous! Bigger than my head. It came with "fresh" fruit (2 grapes, chunk of pineapple, and 3 pieces of melon) and a side of pancakes. I was hoping they'd have a gluten free pancake option but they didn't list one on the menu, so I ordered the whole wheat. The pancakes were pretty good! I also got a mocha, it was not good. They Serve it in cute mugs though. Overall, not a place I would suggest going to, but I would try again if I absolutely needed to.

Which came first, the chicken or the egg? I don't know where I stand. Anyways... Portions are huge! Three of us shared 2 items and we didn't even manage to finish everything. Tommy Boy's Skillet- Diced potatoes layered with bacon, sausage and ham and melted Jack and cheddar cheeses topped with two eggs, served with a choice of toast or pancakes. It was a smorgasbord of breakfast food items all in one skillet. It was very filling and cheesy- eggscellent. Belgium Waffle w/ chocolate syrup, cream cheese, and graham crackers I forgot what this was called. It smelled great when it came out. We should've asked for it to be brought out later though, because we ate this at the end and it wasn't crispy anymore.

Tavi J.

I'm not sure if it's a chain or not, but this place sure feels like one. I consider it to be a fancier iHop. Pretty decent food for a very low cost. For $8 and some change I got the Meat Lover Omelet which comes with hash browns and your choice of a side order of toast or pancakes. They also have healthier options, which my friend ordered. She got an egg white veggie omelet and enjoyed it. Warning when you come here for weekend brunch the line can be out the door, but generally the wait time isn't that long. Service is fast and wait staff is friendly.

Luis V.

I went here on a recommendation and it was near my hotel. I sat at the counter becuase I was on my own and didn't want to take up a whole table as I knew they were busy, that was mistake number one. It seems that even though people were working behind the counter a server who had other tables had to take care of me which led to a general lack in service overall. I didn't have utensils till after my food arrived I ordered french toast with a side of bacon and scrambled eggs pretty basic order and not really hard to mess up. The French toast were mediocre at best the bacon was undercooked and cold and the eggs tasted like they had been cooked in a pan that had something else that I can figure out and prior to. Needless to say I left most of my meal unfinished and paid and left even as a paid I felt a lack of service barely getting the cashiers attention as he was doing other things. For breakfast they don't write much higher than an IHOP or Dennys and I don't think what they asked for in price directly correlates to the quality of meal you get. This is one experience however I will not be trying it again I do travel here often and there are many other breakfast places to check out

Sarah B.

The good: a whole pot of coffee and a water pitcher at your disposal. The bad: Food tasted like it was made earlier in the day. Bacon and hashbrowns were lukewarm at best, pancakes were actually stale! Eggs were good - probably the only thing freshly made after ordering. Overall: Big disappointment. I don't understand the rave reviews. Have these people never been to a classic diner? That's how breakfast should taste!

Of my three visits here, my last one, at the end of my June jaunts, was the worst food eggsperience. My server was pleasant, helpful, and patient; she even plugged my dying smartphone up for me, so I could do my usual photo uploads to Facebook. Unfortunately, the food was not so great. The southwest (?) burger (the one with avaocado) was just ok. The french fries were soggy and greasy, when I asked for crispy! The Strawberry Cheesecake Crepes were a complete and utter let-down. There were no fresh strawberries in sight, the "cheesecake" filling tasted like artificially-flavored tofu, the strawberry topping tasted poison, like Red #40, and the whipped topping left a bad taste in my mouth. I guess I'll need to revisit whatever I ordered the first time if I ever come back... Their best feature is that they're open 24 hours from Thursday through Sunday. For that reason, I MAY return...

After a night out on the town, you would think that anything tastes good after 2 a.m. right? Not so. Came here on the weekend in the wee morning hours with a group of friends. I ordered the huevos rancheros. It's the Californian in me. I can never resist ordering this dish whenever I see it on the menu. They bring back this watery dish. I took a bite and it was terrible. I confirmed with all my friends and forced them to try this disappointment. The puddle of water in the dish had soaked everything and ruined the dish. We explained the situation to the waitress and before she took my dish away she took a look at my plate, frowned, and asked if I put water in my dish. I had just explained to her that the dish came out like this - puddle of water included. So no...I can't take credit for that. Your chef extraordinaire did. It was taken off the bill but I didn't feel like staying after being questioned if I purposely watered down my food. Bottom line: I'll never order huevos rancheros anywhere besides the West Coast. Lesson learned.

Francisco V.

I had been a loyal customer until today. The food has never been that great in my opinion, but I guess not too many alternatives for full sit down breakfast. I got a coupon on my email that said I would get free breakfast on my birthday (through their loyalty program), but they would not honor it. What the hell! Why do they send the promotion then? They really pissed me off.

You're hungry, you have not had dinner, it's 1230 am, what do you do? You take a walk to this place. Conveniently located around the center of all the activity north of the loop, if you are craving for a late night breakfast, this is your place. Had a mushroom spinach skillet with a side of pancakes, and it was quite delicious. I am not gonna say extra ordinary, but everything was in right proportions and was done exactly right. Apart from the fact that it was Friday night, so a lot of people leaving the bar were showing up here, the set up of the place was decent as well. Could it be improved? Yes, considerably. That's the only reason perhaps I don't give this place the 4th star, it's neat and all that, but that's it, the interior needs work on. I would still say though that it's a nice place to have a late night breakfast on a weekend and I might return, and there is a lot in the menu for the meat eaters too, though my veggie self can't tell you if it's good or not.

Being from NYC/Jersey, I would always find a late night place to eat (Diner!) but in Chicago it was a bit hard, especially at 4 am. Thankfully this was open and is pretty much a diner. In a good location walking distance from many clubs/lounges and a good spot to go to if you are really hungry. Food is just OK, not bad but not special either.

While staying in Chicago, I was looking for a good place for breakfast for our group of 5. Found this place thru Yelp and gave it a try. We were very pleasantly surprised-- the food was eggcellent!! ;) The portions were big enough that we split dishes between two people and was just amazing! The strawberry cheesecake crepes were delicious as were my berry pancakes where the berries were mixed IN the batter and cooked with the pancakes and topped with granola. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be back!!

Tony S.

Wow, I think they use ostrich eggs in their omelettes. Split an omelette with my wife and thankful I did. It was the size of my forearm. Ordered the egg white omelette, add olives (cause why not?). Subbed reg pancakes for berry berry wheat pancakes, and they were redonk. Reasonably priced, good scene. In town for weekend, was an excellent Chicago restaurant stop. Do it.

Jen R.

Eggsperience is a great place for people who want a large, American breakfast. The restaurant doesn't have alcohol so if you are looking for bottomless brunch, this is not the place for you. I ordered the meat skillet, which was good but too much food for me. I also ordered a white chocolate mocha and was surprised by the huge size of it. Overall, you really receive a lot of food for your money here. If I'm in Chicago again, I would probably go back.

As cheesy as it sounds, this place is egg select. Had the basic two eggs scrambled with two pancakes, and hashbrowns. All of it was quality. My one complaint, our waitress had the most fake upbeat and friendly personality.

My friends and I LOVE Eggsperience! We cannot rave about it enough. We have gone 6 times in the matter of two trips. It is conveniently located by our hotel and fairly priced. The hours are also great for when we go to concerts and want to feast at early hours of the morning. I've tried everything from the pancakes, to the crepes, to the waffles and it has all been delicious beyond comparison. The food is very decadent and rich so this might not be for someone who wants something on the lighter side. We always leave super full. The place is small and there's not much to it, not a very fancy restaurant by all means. It has more of a diner-style appeal and sometimes the lines are long, but the food is so delicious and the servers and staff have always treated us wonderfully!

Jackie K.

I definitely recommend checking out this joint. Service was fast, friendly and helpful. Great location and they keep ice water and coffee on the table for you so you never have to ask for a refill. We ordered the caramelized apple and pecan pancakes (huge! Fluffy & delicious!!!!) as well as the Eggs Benedict over house made corned beef hash. Both plates were huge portions at reasonable prices. I wish I could order one of everything on the menu!

French style eggs are awesome -- tasty, fluffy, in a huge potion. Pancakes as a side are a bonus.

Yummy! Fast service, great food. Clean. Corned beef hash and eggs are very tasty. The pancakes are awesome. Carlos our server was excellent! Definitely recommend this restaurant.

Our last brunch before leaving Chicago... I had seen the place before on Yelp, but decided to come here on a final advice from the hotel. And I was not disappointed :-) We took a skillet and some scrambled eggs. So the skillet is all you can expect from it, good, tasty, though maybe a bit too much oil used for cooking (that's a matter of taste I guess). For the scrambled eggs, we settled for the picanto... It was delicious :-) imagine some spicy scrambled eggs with chorizo, jalapeÃ±os, hash brown, etc... on a soft shell taco covering the plate. Coffee was as usual in any diner. As for the service, our waitress was very friendly and efficient.

GROSS. Came here at the recommendation of a friend and was severely disappointed. Between my boyfriend and I: -Ordered 2 eggs over medium (came out very runny and had to send it back) -Ordered banana/nut pancakes and requested that no additional nuts be added on top (of course, they added more nuts) The server came by and watched me pick the nuts off of the plate and didn't even say anything. These pancakes reminded me of microwavable pancakes I had as a child..just with a nut or two pushed into them - it was gross, and I skipped eating them because they weren't worth the calories. -Ordered grapefruit juice and "freshly squeezed" orange juice - the OJ was decent, but was certainly not fresh squeezed, and the Grapefruit juice was so nauseating that my boyfriend couldn't drink it -- I sipped it to confirm and it was gross. Overall, VERY poor service, VERY mediocre food, and really, nothing to get excited about, especially with places like Yolk and Wildberry around -- tourists - GO ELSEWHERE and thank me later ;)

The absolute best pancakes I've ever had! I ordered the strawberry cheesecake pancakes... So yummy! Their corned beef hash and eggs Benedict were amazing too..

I don't know. I wanted to like this place but...I just didn't. Everything was just average. Average coffee, average eggs, sub-par pancakes, etc. Also, paying your bill is a bit unruly. The space around the register is a bit tight so everyone kind of stands around hoping to be picked next, lol.

The crepes were the worst crepes I've ever had. Our server was polite, but not too great. It was really busy though so I understand. However, I felt a little sick right after I had finished my meal and was waiting for the check. I didn't say anything because I thought I just felt sick from being too full. I ended up feeling worse later and I now I have food poisoning. I called to complain. And the supervisor/manager was extremely rude and condescending.

We were really looking forward two a lovely brunch and were eggtremely disappointed.... The restaurant was eggcredibly dusty, the scrambled eggs were undercooked, and they were not taking debit or credit and waited until we were ordered to inform us. We were then told they had a atm (that would charge us a fee) to pay in cash. Not to mention the eggstra loud kitchen open to the restaurant.

I had gone out to Castle Chicago on a Saturday night and stepped out at around 2:30am or so. This place was right opposite and we popped in for some late night munchees. The food was quite delicious. I really enjoyed my omelette. It was light and not too oily like some other breakfast food places. The side dishes complemented the food well since they were nicely seasoned. The only reason I would not give this place 5 stars is because of the service. The place wasn't very crowded and even then I had to wait forever to get the attention of someone to take our order or even get us water. Our server seemed very disinterested in suggesting what were some of the common favorites. All in all I would return here again because the food was delicious but fingers crossed on better service next time.

Decent but nothing special. I feel like this is the same "egg" named restaurant that every suburb has as well. They were quick on a Sunday and that was a great welcome!.

Monica B.

Living in the same building, I come here often for brunch or late night eating. Portions are huge, so sharing is ideal, unless you want leftovers. A couple of my favorite items include the Breakfast Panini, Carmelized Apple Pancakes, Chocolate Chip Pancakes, Sweet Potato Fries, and Eleni's Egg White Delight. I'm not a coffee drinker, but have heard it's not the best here. Otherwise, no complaints!

"Sufficient.. don't go looking for glitz or glamour" This place is where you go when A) it's late night and there is nothing else open B) it's a holiday and nothing else is open C) you are in the area and NEED a quick fix. The place has a pretty wide range of options between breakfast and lunch. The portions are a reasonable size, but be prepared to pay extra for everything (like $5 for a side of turkey sausage). Most dishes come with pancakes so if someone in your party doesn't want theirs.. share before ordering your own side. This place is a bit pricey for breakfast/lunch items. Don't come here looking for grits either. They don't have it nor are there any plans to do so. LOL. That's the southern in me. But you always have to appreciate a place that caters to the late night/holiday crowd!

Sora P.

What a big disappointment.. This place seems to have the potential because of the food, but the customer service was one of the worst. I went with a group of 6 this past weekend, and the host said that it was cash only while I saw another customer go up to pay and pay with a credit card.. When we told the host that that was fine, he threw a menu at the counter and walked away to the back...and decided to come back shortly after. Once we were seated in the back end of the restaurant, the server took our orders and as soon as our food came out, he decided it was appropriate to give us our check. He just stood there and stared while I was getting ready to pay.. Mind you, at this point I only took a couple bites out of my omelette. How distasteful.. Clearly, this restaurant does not know how to welcome people, and they obviously don't care about their reputation. It surely was an "eggsperience." One that I don't ever want to have again.

Let me start by saying being a tourist , I relied on Yelp as a weathervane for my choice. One review I read from 3 mnths ago complained of very slow service. Ours arrived so quickly after we ordered , we thought they may have brought food to the wrong table! Country Benny had everything just right. Lemony sauce, crisp on the outside hash browns and a very decent cup of organic coffee.

I came to Eggsperience once because I had a massive craving for eggs ... and although the omelette that I ended up getting was indeed massive, it kind of killed my craving (and not in the satisfied sense). Somehow, it was bland - instead of all the ingredients working together to create a delicious meal, they felt pieced together and tasted mediocre. This place isn't cheap, and on top of it all, this place gets CROWDED during prime brunch time (think 11-2pm on weekends), so space is not guaranteed and a wait is inevitable - all for some mediocre food. Especially since there are so many great brunch places in Chicago (The Bongo Room? Publican? Zed451?), that experience was enough to make me stay away if I wanted a good brunch meal. HOWEVER! After watching American Hustle at the nearby movie theater, my friend and I were both craving something sweet. Since it was past midnight and not much was open, and since McDonald's McFlurries are a bit too cold for the below-freezing weather, we popped into Eggsperience for a warm dessert. Two Belgian waffles later (Strawberries & Cream; Chocolate Chipper), I was a happy camper! The waffles came out pretty quickly, and although I think the white chocolate chips were a little too sweet, everything else about the waffles were very satisfying and exactly what the two of us had wanted. Lesson learned: skip Eggsperience during the mad brunch rush (and avoid the "real food" entrees here), but feel free to come in the wee hours to satisfy your sweet tooth!

The breakfast options are out of this world. I ordered the California Eggscrambler which had artichoke hearts, tomato and low-fat mozzarella. It also came with fruit and choice of toast. I chose whole wheat and couldn't finish the second slice. All was very good. My boyfriend ordered waffle with granola and berries that looked delicious. Location is near many hotels, so this was convenient for us since we were staying at nearby Acme Hotel. The only pitfall is price. Most breakfast dishes I looked at were more than $10. For two if us we spent $30 plus tip.

Wow what a breakfast! We went to Wildberry Cafe prior to this place. This place absolutely blew Wildberry away! Huge portions, fresh tasting, just delicious. Two people can certainly split a plate here. Apple Pecan pancakes were incredible. Must try if you are near the Magnificent Mile area and want a great breakfast!

Super friendly staff. Nice breakfast space. Would imagine is a long wait on the weekends. Menu is endless. Many selections of pancakes waffles crepes etc. coffee was excellent for brewed coffee, I am usually not a fan of that.

Brian M.

Eggperience is my go to place for breakfast when in Chicago, the food is great. I love the pancakes, in face the Caramelized Apple Pecan Pancakes are amazing. Seriously it does not get any better than chunks of fresh apple and pecans which are stirred into the batter, gridded, then lavished with caramelized apples and pecans. The atmosphere is very casual, service tends to be pretty fast however during peak hours the place can get busy with long lines waiting outside. However the staff is friendly and the food is good so I feel that its worth the wait!

Glenda C.

This definitely was a new eggsperience for me. It was my first time trying corned beef hash... and I have to tell you............. this place makes it amazing!!!! After I tried it here, I tried it in other breakfast places around town and this place makes it the best! The portions are big enough to share. Our table shared some eggs benedict, belgium waffles topped with chocolate syrup, corn beef hash and eggs, tommy boy's skillet, and fresh strawberry crepes. Everything was delicious! The atmosphere was cute with some egg shaped lighting above the ceiling. This diner has a fresh feel to it. This is one of my favorite breakfast places in Chicago! You must try Eggsperience!
(5)
Dixie Q.

This place gets packed! I was expecting a long wait time, but to my surprise, we waited less than 10min. There is a wide selection in this menu that can lead to choice paralysis. After what felt like an eternity, I finally settled on an Egg Scrambler breakfast. The hash browns were delicious. The plate was very big. Too big for me. No one tried to rush us out, despite the busy morning, and we took advantage of the large table to review the game plan for the day. It was good, but I would not return.

Chicago has its breakfast game down pat. Eggsperience was up the block from my hotel. I was only there once, because I was there for a conference and had to follow my group. The omelets are monstrous here. Someone else at the table had it, I wish I ordered it. It was the size of an NFL football, no joke. I cant complain about my breakfast eggs -over easy. I feel like im eating an egg ravioli at breakfast. The hash was good as well - and I got a good amount of bacon with my order.

Good service ! The food portions are insane ! They have a very healthy menu and a menu for ppl who want to enjoy a good fattening breakfast lol. I eat healthy and got their egg white omelette and they browned the top of it with what looks to have been a blow torch. It was soooo good ! Their turkey sausage is definitely that and very very lean. Some places you question if it's really turkey sausage and this was. Food great. Service great and prices super reasonable. Will def return !

I don't typically write yelp reviews, but felt compelled to spread the word on this place. Myself and two friends stopped in for a late night breakfast here last night. The food was really good. The waitress didn't speak very good English, but was very nice at first. When we were ready to leave we gave her two cards to split the charge between. Our receipts came back for tip and signature, and it was $28 a guy. We each had a $13 breakfast so we thought this was strange. We asked the manager for our itemized receipt. Our total with tax was $45. Yet when our cards were ran each card was ran for $28. 28+28=56. Still, not a huge deal. They must have just made a simple mistake right? When confronted, the manager (May have even been the owner) and waitress became very abrasive and offered no explanation of what had happened; just several eye rolls. Being overcharged $11 isn't going to hurt my friend and I's ability to pay our bills, but it's the principle that ticked us off. I personally hypothesize that this is not an accident, and instead a deliberate attempt to steal from customers. I really wonder how many people have probably been ripped off here in the past. Heck, a few drunk guys at 3am won't know any better right? If you do end up here, the food is good, you will be pleased with it I think, but check your receipt when you get it, and after they run your card.

Came here late on Friday night. No wait at all. Hostess was uber professional (in a suit & very polite) - not good or bad, just didn't expect it at a super casual place like this. I got the Chocolate Banana Crepes, thinking I'd get something lighter than breakfast. ... but these crepes were super thick & heavy! The thickness was like that of a flapjack, but the taste/texture was that of a crepe. There was an insane amount of chocolate - good for you guys with a super sweet tooth - but I would've enjoyed this with less chocolate. The space is inviting. Very bright. Maybe too much light? Also didn't like that most of the tables were empty yet they each had an uncovered pitcher of water just sitting there. Made it feel unsanitary somehow. If I were in the area, I'd probably give this place another try, considering all the good reviews. I would just order something else.

Jonathan R.

This place is great and open late. It's a way better version of IHOP. Inexpensive, big portions, fresh squeezed juice and quick service. The ambiance is that of a diner - cause it is a diner - and it's open late (it bears repeating). The Berry Berry Pancakes are my favorite and the sausage is always perfectly cooked. I come here after a night out as readily as in the mornings during breakfast and brunch time. Just a good spot.

R N.

Went here on a business trip. The restaurant was very close to my hotel. I got a vegetarian egg white omelette which was out of this world. It was the biggest omelette that I have ever seen. It took up a little over half of the entire plate. They made it to order according to my specifications. I would definitely come back here again!

Must re-think our outfit options! Being California girls, my friends and I were not prepared to brave the cold during a snowy Chicago January. We headed out of our hotel room in search of our first breakfast in the city. We roamed around and when our bodies couldnt take the cold any longer, we stumbled upon Eggsperience and what is the best Egg White Omelet I've ever eaten! Service: - Friendly Service - Speedy when it comes to placing orders and getting food Food: - Orange Juice (ok, so technically not food): FRESH SQUEEZED!!! So tasty! - Egg white omelet: Two thumbs up! Tasty and filled with little treasures which include spinach, tomato, mushroom, and cheeseeeeee... Yum! - Pancakes: I do love pancakes and these were some really great ones. - Corned Beef Plate: Delish and hearty corned beef! I felt as though it was kind of touristy, but it was a great place to have our first breakfast and get out of the cold.

We ate here once to change things up. Normally we walk to Yolk. There was a 10 minute wait. The atmosphere was a little tired compared to Yolk. Our booth was much more comfortable than Yolk. The menus are similar. We were happy with everything we ordered. The service was good. Personally, I prefer Yolk but I like both. We eat 2 meals a day and prefer big portions to last us until dinner. That said, the portions are huge. The 3 egg omelette had to be 6. It recommend sharing an entree and maybe add a side if you want a little more.

Brittany L.

Great, local, quick place to grab breakfast in the morning. The portions were huge and the prices were cheap. This is better than the usual IHOP or Denny's and was a great choice, recommended by the concierge at our hotel. The menu had a ton of choices...pancakes, omelettes galore, etc. Definitely a good choice for a quick, good breakfast.

Hariharan V.

I abhor this place. First time I ate here, the breakfast burrito was soggy and bland. I ended up with an upset stomach as well. Well, that was on an all-nighter so I gave them the benefit of the doubt, maybe their food wasn't responsible. Then, I came back late night with some friends. Ordered eggs benedict, confirming two-three times that they'd leave out any meat. Deep in conversation, I didn't notice until 2 bites in that there was ham. Not only can I not eat meat for religious reasons, but I've never eaten meat... for all I know it could have provoked an allergic reaction. And they tried to charge for my replacement waffle. I refused to pay and said my friends won't pay a penny either... the manager said it would come out of my waiter's paycheck. Of course I wasn't going to do that to the poor guy, so I paid for it, then had Amex charge it back. I will never set foot in this place again, and I will do my best to deter others from going there as well.

It's not easy to find a 24-hour, trendy diner-style restaurant in Chicago. I love the mom-n-pops diners but it's nice having Eggperience in River North. It's close to Hard Rock Cafe, Portillo's and Rock-n-Roll McDonalds. Eggsperience is huge, well-lit and decorated with beautiful citric yellow and lime colors. The coffee bar is huge and despite the large number of tables, it gets packed on the weekends because there's no other place like it. The service is very friendly and fast and it's great that you get your own small carafe of LaVazza coffee. I love turkey burgers and they offer a tasty one. But the ridiculous thing is the how huge the food portions are! If you order crepes, expect to get enough to feed 2-3 people. I prefer the egg white omelette and I could divide it into fours and it would satisfy a few people (see the pic). Eleni's Egg White Delight is stuffed with fresh spinach, mushrooms, roasted red peppers and low fat mozzarella and comes with fresh fruit. We're lucky to live in the best U.S. major city and Eggsperience is one of the reasons why Chicago is world class. :) ----- UPDATE: As of early 2011, it appears that they are no longer 24 hours. Please check their website for details.

We loved this breakfast spot. We were here out of town. This place was a breath of fresh air after our hotel breakfast in a dining room. My husband had a skillet and it was done perfectly. Now he has a catering business and we are foodies so this was high praise. I had eggs bacon and blue berry pancakes with a speciality coffee and fresh squeezed orange juice. Since I am the coffee snob...it was a surprise and tasty. We will come here tomorrow!

Hands down, this is my new favorite breakfast spot in the city. The decor is cute, the service is great, and the wait is always relatively short even though it's always crowded. I don't know how they do it, but they do. The menu is extensive, and they have pretty much anything you can think of. They also have amazing loose leaf tea by the cup or by the bag. Try the fig green tea; it's amazing. I'm all about eggsperience.

Jessica G.

Not very impressed. First off, I have to admit that we ate lunch, not breakfast - but our sandwiches, soup, and fries were all rather lackluster. The cafe is super cute and the waitress nice and attentive. However, the bathroom had trash overflowing all over the floor (including diapers hanging out of the trash can) and with a can that large, you could tell it hadn't been checked/cleaned in a while. Also, when we went to the register to check out, the guy standing there was on the phone chatting to a friend before, during, and after our checkout, and he didn't say a single word to me, so busy was he chattering on and laughing with his pal on the phone. Very rude. Sad to say, I doubt I'll go back.

I don't think I've mentioned it here on Yelp yet but I love breakfast and brunch! Love love love! And a good breakfast joint makes me a very happy camper. Sadly, they are usually hard to come by and I never really understood this since it is said that breakfast is the most important meal of the day! My little group and I came upon this place during Memorial Day weekend and it was so good the first time (Saturday) that we decided to come back the next day too! The service is friendly, the coffee is flowing (and better than those burnt beans at Starbucks) and the food is fresh and tasty! They have a vast menu that anyone can enjoy, from those of us who are vegan to the carnivorous! In conclusion; I had a very yummy time!

One of my favorite breakfast places on the face of the Earth, people. Every time I visit Chicago, I go here *at least* once. (I was recently there from a Saturday to a Monday, and managed to sneak in two visits.) Giant portions, fantastic food, and they leave a pot of coffee AND a pitcher of water on your table from the get-go without your having to request it: A life-saving sight post-late-night-drinking, I assure you. Their kitchen works like clockwork; if you've ever spied on them, you'll see they've got one dude dedicated fully to making toast, heh. He's like a machine. Not to mention the decor here is just lovely - fun, happy shades of butter yellow, spring green, and bright orange. If I ever get to design my own kitchen, I'm using this place as inspiration.

Eehhh...this place is average: not bad, not good - just fine I suppose. It is a chain, so..I didn't go in with super high hopes anyways. It was a pretty pleasant surprise that there was no wait for a party of 5 on a Sunday at 12:30ish. But, I feel like----YOU'RE IN THE CITY! And there are so many !incredible! options to try that I would have preferred not to settle for subpar, but..whatcha gonna do??---I was with a group that was not exactly of the same opinion. They wanted convenient and I'll give them that--this place was rather conveniently located near the thick of things in the city/where we wanted to be. Overall, this place is just fine...

This place is passable, but I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here. There are much better breakfast / brunch options in the area. The service is always terrible and really slow. The egg dishes are decent, but nothing special. The pancakes are totally underwhelming. On the plus side, it's open late night on the weekends, so if you're out late stop by (cash only).

This place is amazing. It is open 24hrs. I've been here a few times and every time I go, I have an amazing experience. The staff is very friendly and lively no matter what time you go. I have been here at 4am, 1am, and 10am. Each time I visited, the staff were friendly and professional. The food is exceptional. They cook your food to perfection and that goes for the omelettes, eggs, meats, or pancakes. Their juices are made fresh and also very tasty. Along with the food being tasty, the portions are also very generous making you feel happy when you are done eating and pay your bill...worth the money!

I've always enjoyed everything I've ordered here. Portions are pretty huge and decently priced. Service is speedy, but servers are pretty nonchalant and slightly distant. The only reason I'm giving 3 stars is that utensils are always dirty whenever I come here! They need get better dishwashers.

while in town for the weekend this place was recommended to us and we decided to check it out.

K C.

My friend and I stopped in around 130am for a long overdue meal. The service was friendly, however, the food was terrible! The turkey sausage looked and tasted like it had been precooked and was sitting waiting to be picked up like the last girl at the club. My waffles were cold and spongy and my friend's pancakes were plain and lukewarm. I will say my morrocan mint tea was good. That was the only thing! Even more gross - they were using a machine to make fresh OJ - fine - but the fresh juice was going into a big white -no lid having - garbage bin that was nasty dirty on the outside. I plan to post the pic I took - yuck! We told the waitress how we felt. She said some of the cooks were newer and she offered to get the manager. We didn't feel like recounting a 2nd time so she charged us for the whole thing and said sorry. There are lots if other late bite eats in the city - I won't be back here!

Joanne B.

We liked Eggsperience enough to go back twice in the week we spent in Chicago. I looked up other breakfast spots to check out, but enjoyed Eggsperience the most. Service is quick, I like how they leave a pitcher of water and coffee at the your table for your convenience. I chug down tons of water, so I loved that I was able to refill my own glass. The corned beef hash & eggs dish was good, much better than the same dish I had a Yolk the day before. It's flavorful, not salty and the eggs were on point with how I like them cooked. Overall, if you're in town and in need of a good breakfast with great service, head over to Eggsperience.

Dan L.

I wish this we had a place like this (or exactly like this) near Detroit. It's hands-down one of the best places I've ever been for breakfast anywhere in the country. While I was in Chicago for Mac OS X Server training, this place was along the way from my hotel to the training center. For three glorious mornings I made it my mission to get up a little early and stop in for breakfast here...yes, it was THAT GOOD. Whatever breakfast delicacy tickles your fancy, you will certainly find it here and you will love every bite. If I had to pick one thing that I liked the most it would have to be the quesadillas...my mouth waters every time I think about it. There's only other place that is just as good, if not better in the country (IMHO), that place is "The Flour Garden" in Harrisville, MI (see my review on The Flour Garden for more details). If you if live in Chicago or are planning on going to Chicago, this is a must visit location for breakfast.

Brian V.

First of all, breakfast is my favorite meal of the day. So know that I may be a bit biased to a place like this. Eggs are such a simple food, yet it can be prepared in so many ways. I think this restaurant covers most of them! If anything, there are probably too many choices. Ordered the corned beef hash skillet with a side of pumpkin pancakes and a coffee. I was so happy that I could get the side of pancakes instead of toast and when the waitress mentioned pumpkin, I jumped at that! Everything was so good! Eating the pumpkin pancakes and watching a bit of college football on the screen (I sat at the bar), I felt like I was in 'Fall' heaven. After this meal, I felt like I can go on without eating the rest of the day. (more personal details past this point) I was is Chicago recently during the weekend where USC played Notre Dame. Two of my friends were getting ready for the trip to South Bend and the game, so I walked around my hotel looking for breakfast. I was just about to grab something small from Starbucks, then I noticed this large crowd standing out in front of this place. I was by myself, so I got to go in and sit at the bar without a wait! Talked about the meal in my prior paragraphs, but I also was making some good convo with fellow solo-eaters. I had a great experience and a great meal here. I definitely would like to go back and wish they had one of these in LA.

Wow, what an amazing place! I am not the biggest person on going out to eat for breakfast at diners, I prefer lunch usually, but ever since my boyfriend and I tried Eggsperience, the experience has definitely been life changing. The place has the cutest coffee and smoothie bar with tons of different varieties, same as their food selection. I ate the spinach and mushroom skillet, and the eggs were perfectly cooked and the combination was perfect. My banana strawberry smoothie was not too sweet or artificial, I could actually taste the fruit. If you are looking for a cute place in the middle of downtown with reasonable prices with amazing food, I would definitely recommend Eggsperience!

Somehow, a Denny's in South Dakota magically appeared in River North. Hello, mauve & teal. Aside from the decor and horrendously punny name, it's decent. The egg options appear to be endless, and of course you can always create your own, which is what I typically do. But on a day where I was feeling health conscious, I went with the California scramble. Blech. Note to self: artichoke hearts do not make for good scramble ingredients. Service is brisk--they do a hell of a business here and depend on fast turnover. So don't expect to linger over coffee at the end without your waitress asking you at least a dozen times whether you...AHEM...need anything else.

This restaurant has great food and was really fast. The service was incredible, I came late and my food came out quickly.

5 star name, if nothing else. But there is more.. 1) They will accommodate any request that I've had made so far. Brilliant. 2) Portion sizes are gigantic. I can't finish any omelet here AS MUCH AS I WANT TO. 3) Prices very competitive (i.e. it's cheap). 4) At least the few times I've been it's always a quick in and out, even though it's quite busy. The staff is f'n awesome. A great eggsperience indeed.

I'm not a breakfast fan but when in Chicago recently on a business trip decided to try this place since I knew I would have a long day ahead with not much time for food. This place is truly amazing as far as breakfast restaurants go. The service was excellent and the food was delicious. The portions were obscene. Seriously, three people could have eaten the breakfast I was served (at a reasonable price, I might add). I had a veggie omelet that was super fluffy. I am still trying to figure out how they did it. It was like eating air but with flavor. They could have been a little less stingy with the amount of vegetables they put in the omelet but, when you look at all the other food that came with it, you really can't complain. The omelet came with a side of fruit (also had a choice of hash browns) and a side of pancakes. The pancakes were the best I've had in a long time and on their own could have been my breakfast. The best part of the experience, though, was the surprise complimentary cup of coffee to go that they gave me with my check. All in all a very pleasing experience. I would highly recommend this place.

I wish I could give this place a 3.5 rating. I ordered the Chocolate Chipper Belgium Waffle and didn't care for it very much. It had a strange alcohol aftertaste, and the syrup it came with had a similar flavor. However, there were some things I really enjoyed. The restaurant wasn't overly crowded and filled with tourists, which was nice and gave the place more of a neighborhood vibe. Our server was helpful and the food came out fast. Having a pitcher of water on the table was a great plus. Also, the bacon was amazing, thick-cut and perfectly cooked. I'd return to Eggsperience, but next time I think I'd order something other than the waffle.

So let me say I have rarely had such a perfectly cooked egg. I like my eggs over hard and very rarely are they cooked truly hard without also being a bit crispy/overdone on the thinner parts. These eggs were still soft, still white on with nary a crisp mark or burn and yet not a trace of snotty egg goo I so despise was to be found. FANTASTIC job egg cooker you get a prize. But I can't mark this restaurant higher than a 3 because the potato pancakes were super dry and awful. We were seated right away at the bar and service was great especially considering how busy they were. I'd still go back if I were in the area again but I will not be getting the potato pancakes which is sad because I LOVE potato pancakes. vegetarian: Super easy as it is breakfast food. I suppose you have to give away your meat or ask to sub it for something on some of teh combos. GF: An omelet? Crepes? Hash Browns? You'll be fine...

I really love breakfast.... I could eat breakfast for lunch and dinner! I really wanted to like this place, but I found that it was just okay. The food was alright, but nothing special, the service was okay, and the portions were about right. Would I go back? Maybe, but I think I preferred Yolk over Eggsperience.

Mandy H.

We WANTED to actually eat here and review the food; however, the service was horrific the minute we walked in the door. There were a few tables ahead of us waiting for one of the many open tables, so we asked if we could sit at the bar. The host (tall male) followed behind us and slammed menus on the host table (major temper) and yells to a colleague "Nobody is paying attention!!!" We then sat at the counter and waited for the crazed server to help us, but instead, he helps a guy who was sat a couple minutes AFTER us and then continues to ignore us. So we walked out. Unprofessional staff with flaring tempers in front of customers. No thanks - we'll go where we can eat in peace.

100% organic coffee with REAL cream. It tastes so clean I don't even think I'll have coffee breath. Apple pecan pancakes...so yummy! My friend had an omelet that was MASSIVE and deliscious. Big portions, fresh quality food, friendly staff. We walked right in the door and were seated and served right away. It's 5 stars in my book.

Sorta found Eggsperience by accident. We wanted to go to Xoco for breakfast but found out it was closed on Sundays and somehow ended up here at Eggsperience. The menu is quite extensive, covering all sorts of breakfast items, such as pancakes, omelettes, and crepes. If the breakfast dish has an egg component, you can guarantee Eggsperience has it. In the end, I decided to go with the Apple Pancakes since the picture on the menu looks awesome. It's a baked apple pancake and the thing is ridiculous. It's huge, with plenty of sliced apple, seasoned with cinnamon and covered with a sugary glaze. I had to order a side of bacon on the side just so I can have something salty with my pancake :P Had a little bit of the Bennie and it's your traditional eggs benedict done right. Both the Tommy's Boy and Skirt Steak skillet was great! The Tommy's Boy is definitely for the meat lovers since it only has sausages, bacon, ham, and potatoes with your favorite style of eggs. The skillets also come with a side of pancake or toast, and trust, it is a lot of food. I'm a sucker for fresh squeezed grapefruit juice and they have a great one here! Eggsperience is essentially a diner with very solid breakfast items that and you really can't go wrong with any of them. You're not going to find some fusion or newfangled omelettes here but you definitely won't leave hungry!

I would've given this place a 4 if it were only based on food. The food was good here--my husband had the skillet and I had the original bennie. Their pancakes were fluffy and definitely one of the better ones I've had. What made me took away 1 star was the price. The two breakfasts we had were really not that much when compared to other breakfast places such as Yolk. It was the first time ever we finished all plates, including the pancakes (they only gave you two, and the size was small), at any breakfast place, and no we hadn't been starving ourselves. The tab came at around $35. The quantity/price ratio is just too low for me to return here.

I had a late breakfast here while in town for the Ryder Cup. Once I saw the pictures of this place we were both hooked! we are both foodies and loved this place. The banana chocolate crapes were great. Came out just like the pictures. Very good and will not let you down. One tip it is very large portions and very sweet. on my next trip i will be ordering the omelets. neither of us ordered them, but we wished we did. they were huge, the staff told us the bake them! this is a good place and I will be back on my next trip!

Fresh, healthy, well prepared. No frills place that delivers. I come here once a week and have never been disappointed. Staff is attentive and pleasant. Place is always clean and busy, but line moves fast. I eat healthy, and there's plenty of great options to choose from. Omlettes are huge! Usually have to bring half home.

Julia L.

AWFUL service. The food was decent, but the server didn't even know how to split a check between just TWO cards and made up an excuse as it CANNOT be done. But another server came to question him but our server just left, rude service!

If you believe in healthy breakfast, don't read my reviews. I may get some healthy things every once in a while, but, let's face it, I will take what tastes good over what is healthy 4 out of 5 times. That said, what I had here was not that unhealthy, but it was not something for someone trying to watch their figure. The fun names for their dishes I cannot remember, but I remembered the pics I took of them and will describe from there. I had the french toast with the nutella on it... and I added strawberries and bananas on top! So there not completely over the top unhealthy. My daughter had the pumpkin pancakes with a sausage link and eggs. Again, not bad... except for that whip cream. My love had the scramble with spinach, tomatoes, ham and light cheese (for calcium, of course) with some hash browns... and she should have shared it with three people. It was ginormous! Well, again, I don't necessarily order a healthy breakfast because I want to be healthy. I just want it to taste good. Trust, everything here is good! Healthy or otherwise... PS: This also made me a nutella fan! Cheers!

I was jogging back from a Crossfit WOD and swung by Eggsperience to get my eggs on. I was not disappointed. The service was quite good and the "La Portabella" that I ate was fantastic. It was monstrous - I barely finished it and I'm known to pack away 5 eggs every morning. The prices for the food quantity and quality were excellent in comparison to other breakfast joints in the area.

** 3.5 stars ** My friend and I came here for our last breakfast before heading back to Toronto (a few weeks back). We arrived mid-morning and still got seating fairly quickly. The place was big, service decent, and there was a decent variety of items on the menu. Both of us ordered omelettes. Mine was an egg-white Mediterranean with pancakes. It was tasty - but the only thing normal-sized about my meal WERE the pancakes. Are you sure that was a three-egg(white) omelette? Or 13? It was bigger than my head, and I don't think I even ate half of it - I actually felt bad about not finishing it. Overall, a decent place. I'd just consider splitting meals with friends, if you're going to order.

Mike C.

Eggs any way you like them. Organic and served quickly with great service. They also have every breakfast item you can think of. timing is key here to avoid waits but even at its most crowded the turnover is very quick. The downside here is, when its crowded the food quality seems to drop precipitously. The omelets are of ridiculous proportion and come with two side dishes, so come hungry. They also bake them, so they look extra huge.

I heard about this place while taking a tour of the city. The other reviews looked good, so I thought I would check it out. Our waitress (I wish I could remember her name) was great and attentive. The food came out and everything tasted alright. It was good, but nothing that I would rave about or tell all of my friends that they HAD to go there. The first bad thing that happened was the noticing of a LARGE bug on the table, crawling around halfway through the meal. It was pretty bad, and my partner and I immediately lost our appetite. We didnt even eat half of our meal. When calling the attention of the bug to the waitress, she was mortified. He had one of the busboys come to get it. We werent going to make a huge fuss, but the manager came by our table and asked how everything was. We told him about what happened and that we wereny hungry anymore. He didnt seem mortified or apologetic at all. He just asked us if the bug was on the plate or the table. When we said it was on the table, he shrugged it off and thought that it should have been OK. (Note we were sitting inside, not outside). On top of all of this, the couple behind us was making a stink because they had food that came out raw (sausage) and one other thing happened that I cant rememebr what. The manager offered to give them more food that they took home, and he comped their meal completely. I thought that was a good thing for a manager to do. Yet, when our bill came, we got a 10% discount. Now the other table that took EXTRA food HOME got a free meal and we had a 10% discount when we didnt even eat half of it? Are you freaking kidding me? The food here isnt THAT great, and the management is worse. Dont bother with this place.

Ate there yesterday for breakfast. Place was packed, but we got right in and a table on Labor Day. Service was fast. Food was great. Prices typical River North. I had some kind of scramble that had chorizo and jalapeÃ±os hash browns and some other ingredients I don't remember. But it was very very good. And too large--I left a bunch. But it was so good--and it wasn't too spicy despite the aforementioned ingredients. Definitely this is my breakfast place from now on, since the free breakfasts at the hotels are nothing more than a wade through a bunch of people/families stuffing their faces with free waffles.....place reminds me of my fav breakfast place in downtown Manhattan.

Jessica D.

This would have been 5 stars because the food is amazing and it was quick too. They also gave us to go cups for our coffee...awesome!!! BUT the register area is at the enterance and where people wait before they are seated. We also had a stroller with us that we parked in the "stroller area" and was congested and a little tricky getting out. So, I would absolutely deal with that at anytime though because the food really was THAT good. Best pancakes ever!!! The banana pancakes were even better, the PERFECT omelet and the hubby's egg white omelet was bigger than his head. Next time I'm going for the blueberry pancakes!!!! I would seriously consider driving 5 hours from StL for this breakfast ;)

Amanda F.

The coffee was very good and the coffee cups were oversized, which, for some reason gives me a home-like feeling which adds to how good the whole dining experience was here. My boyfriend and I ran the Chicago Marathon and stayed and extra nite. We fell upon this place for breakfast the following morning and will definately return. The service was personable and attentive and the food was amazing. We both ordered omelettes which were the size of a football and came with hashbrowns and pancakes. All of which were good and was just as good the next day for leftovers. (You get A LOT of food.) Can't wait to come again next time I'm in the city!

Kyle O.

It was okay. the chocolate chip pancakes were good don't get me wrong but they were expensive and the service was not the best. All my server did was get us water and bring us the bill. The bus boy refilled our drinks and another waitress brought us our food.

Ben D.

Sure it was 3am. And yes I was drunk. But hey, so was my mom so if it's a double negative, according to math it becomes a positive! This was a very interesting place to be this early and drunk in the morning... Especially because we were the last customers let in. As soon as we put our food order in the waiter came back to tell us that their computers had gone down so he would have to manually take a pressure scan of the credit card in order for us to pay. Well I don't remember specifically what I got for food... I remember it was an omelet and that it came with salsa and sour cream. But I am positive that I asked for somethings to be substituted. I also remember that my mother had breakfast quesadilla. I much preferred hers if I am honest, but a drunk mans request for food isn't always the best creation. I am sure that I will be back here next time I am in Chicago, but I will try to be less inebriated...

Miles ahead of Denny's and IHOP, Eggsperience does more than just what its name bears - their menu spans on last count 7 pages (print double-sided) and covers all things breakfast and more. Service is prompt and efficient. Friendliness wins no points with me, but Chicago is after all a midwest town and with it midwest niceties. Portillo's is only a two minute walk west of here!

Amy W.

I love the casual atmosphere and the diner, family-friendly feel to this place. The food, too, is delicious. My friends and I shared the strawberry cheesecake French toast, which actually wasn't as delectable as I had expected, unfortunately. I would have liked fresh strawberries instead of strawberry compote, which just made it taste like something that was from IHOP or something. My eggs benedict, however, was absolutely lovely. The eggs were poached to perfection! The coffee, too, was great. I usually take tons of cream and sugar in mine, but this coffee hit just the right balance where I was able to just drink it black! Our server was also really friendly and attentive. The food came out quickly but not so quickly where I felt overwhelmed or rushed. The one thing is: Why is there no alcohol? And if not, why is there a large bar-looking thing stretching over one entire wall with no alcohol but only... coffee syrups? We asked if there were alcoholic drinks and our waiter responded with a tinge of condescension, "We don't serve alcohol. This is a pancake house." What a shame -- I would have loved a bloody Mary!

Wife and I had breakfast here before flying out. All I can say is WOW. Good thing everyone on our flight hadn't eaten here, or the plane would never have been able to make it off the runway!!! The egg white omelet that my wife ordered was huge! At least 8" long and 3" thick and loaded with veggies and cheese. It could easily feed 3 people. I had the corned beef hash scrambler that includes the hash, potatoes and cheese, topped with 2 eggs and it was great. Some of the best hash I have ever had. To top it off, the scrambler came with 2 small pancakes on the side.....just what I needed Food and service was fabulous and their coffee is also great.! Place Eggsperience on your "MUST EAT HERE" list while in Chicago

Hoang L.

Did I order the wrong thing on the menu? I ordered an eggs benedict and it was completely flavorless. Tomatoes were soggy and english muffin was stale. Eggs were not poached correctly either. Definitely the worst eggs benedict I've ever had; and I've had a lot in my day. This place gets busy so the service is a bit slow at times. I also don't like how we have pay for our meal up front. If I ever stumble upon this place again, I'm getting a skillet.

Was out for a walk one afternoon and just happen to find Eggsperience. So the next morning my wife, daughter and myself decided to stop in and try it out since our breakfast in the hotel the past couple mornings were dreadful. We were seated very very quickly and the waitress took our drink order. They leave the coffee pot at the table which I find brilliant and they also leave a pitcher of water which my wife loved. The food portions were huge, the bacon in which I'm very picky about was cooked just how I like it, crispy. My daughter got the Mickey Mouse pancakes in which they made Mickey's face out of pancakes and my daughter didn't want to eat them. She didn't want to eat Mickey, we had to convince her it wouldn't hurt him to get her to eat them which was hilarious. The waitress was great she and my daughter were talking back and fourth and my daughter is usually very shy to people she just meets. Next time I'm in Chicago I will be going back to Eggsperience.

The service here is great! Our waiter noticed my order was wrong.. and before he asks if everything was OK, he looked at my plate, took it, and apologized as he was taking it back to the kitchen.. WOW! I haven't had service like this in a LONG time, especially from a diner. Not even 5 minutes later I got a fresh order of benedicts (which were perfect by the way!) My husband got the 'Yummy I'm my tummy French toast' - and if you have a sweet tooth for breakfast this will definitely hit the spot! I love that they don't rush you out. We sat there and talked for about 15-20 minutes after we were done eating and no one was watching us to see if we were getting up (at least not at a close distance). I love that you had your own pitcher to refill your glass too, two thumbs up! i wish more places did this!

After our failed attempt at Pisano (it said they were opened until 3AM, but at 2AM when we walked in, they said they were closed!), we found Eggsperience. There were a ton of people for almost 3AM in the morning, but since the only two of us, we were able to sit at the bar area. Service was friendly and quick. I was super cold and tired and a little bit tipsy still so all I wanted was chicken noodle soup. It was actually very tasty and I expected something really salty and from a can, but it didn't taste like that. Not salty at all! Plus!

It seems so strange that most of the women I know skip breakfast, yet the so many breakfast places are marketed towards women. So, it has a feminine feel you can get a great breakfast here. I had the chocolate banana crepes and it was terrific. The next time I apple and caramel crepes, they were even better. I did have inconsistency with the coffee. The first trip yielded a cup of coffee best described as stern. Really woke did the job with waking me up both with flavor and the chemicals that make us crave the java. The next time it was a bit weak.

Mark L.

My posse of four came here after a strong endorsement from the Marriott valets. I was rather skeptical of a place that was so obviously a Dad pun, but once the meal was complete, I asked forgiveness from the Eggsperience gods for doubting. Let me just run through everything that made the experience so good: we were seated within 15 minutes despite my Spidey sense telling me that we were in for a 30-minute wait; our waitress was humorous and helpful; organic orange juice tastes like someone is personally squeezing fresh oranges into your mouth; and, omelettes, pancakes, or just plain ol' eggs make for an excellent (and HUGE) breakfast. You might balk at the prices because they're definitely higher than your everyday diner. Totally worth it. I can't wait to come back to Chicago to have it again. Protip: Get a carafe of the orange juice. I don't really even like orange juice but this was the stuff of dreams. And, if you are into portion control, I would order on omelette for two people. There is plenty of food to split and you save money.

Caesar R.

Massive portions. Massive. Went for breakfast and was full through dinner. The decor is a little too modern for what is essentially a greek diner. The egg scramble with sausage and cheese and the butcher's benedict is what we filled up on. The shredded hashbrowns were actually our favorite part of the meal. The bacon pork and ham on the butcher's bene was just a little too much of a meatapolooza so early in the morning. The fresh oj is fresh as fresh can be! The pitcher of water on the table is great so you can rehydrate after a night out. Worth it if you are in the area

Jacob J.

Not sure about their suburban locations, but this RiNo spot is 24/7 bitches! I'll take this over Golden Nugget any day. (I know many of you brethren may be flipping me off for that statement) You can run out of Vision right after dancing your ass off and enjoy a tasty Eggs Benny or one of five varieties. Don't forget to recharge your cells with one of their energizing smoothies or power shots. If you're already close to comatose from the long night, why not do it sweetly by way of Belgian waffle a la mode! I like to share these with peeps, that way I don't feel as guilty when running the treadmill the following afternoon. Find me here (very) occasionally between the hours of 3 - 5 am, on weekends. I go where the Benny is offered.

Randy H.

I frickin' love this place. I've passed it 100 times and thought, "one of these days I need to try that." Last week I woke up early, and rather than kill my morning doing nothing around the apartment, I decided to just come downtown early and find somewhere to eat breakfast. And boom, here I was. I got the Red Pepper Bennie -- an eggs benedict covered in roasted red peppers and feta cheese -- and I *LOVED* it. The first bite was heaven, the last bite beautiful. Eating this meal was like falling in love, I wanted to change my Facebook status and take pictures of myself with the Red Pepper Bennie at the Grand Canyon, and at Niagara Falls, and in Las Vegas. I went back again today, and this time I had the three-layer Belgium Waffle -- a perfectly cooked Belgian waffle covered in strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and granola. It, too, was wonderful, though not as heavenly as the the Red Pepper Bennie. I can't believe how fast the food comes out. I can enter and exit this restaurant within 30 minutes, and still feel like I've had a pleasant, relaxed meal. Top notch.

I like my eggs to be available on-demand. This place used to be open 24 hours and that is one of the things I LOVED about it! (Insert pouty-lip.) Buuuuuuuttttt......other than being spoiled by their old hours....I gotta say: I LOVE this place! It is in a great location, it is clean, the servers are attentive and friendly, the prices are amazing AND---the best part--- the portions are HUGE! (You really will have to brown-bag half of it.) What's not to like about it? The fact that it is NOT open 24 hours anymore. Oh, yeah. I said that. I AM a brat.
(5)
K M.

Yay! Another 24 hour breakfast place! We don't make it to breakfast as much as we'd like, so it's nice to have the option for dinner sometimes...The omelets are pretty good, not my favorite, but their chipotle burger is AMAZING, and I NEVER order burgers. I had one bite of my husbands burger and could not wait to go back to order my first burger in over 10 years! I still felt too guilty eating the whole thing myself though, so we split that and an omelet.

Ralph B.

Stupid name. Eggsperience. Just imagine Jimi Hendrix, the best guitar player in the world singing have you every been Eggsperienced? That was dumb. My absolute favorite place to eat breakfast in all of Chicago. 1. Unbelievable quick service 2. A kitchen that is so quit and competent you'll be amazed 3. Great coffee (organic be nice to farmer coffee) They leave a pot on your tabel and it isn't the the leftover swill from the last customer. 4. Since when did breakfast start costing $20 in Chicago? Not here. 5. Not cheap, but great value 6. Fresh fruit year 'round 7. Drum roll.........the finest damn pancakes in this history of the world with real softened butter. A nicely done French crepe is trash in comparison. 8. Tell 'em to skip the powder sugar sprinkle on top of the pancakes, it only ruins the full view of the artwork 9. Stop by and thank the kitchen, those cooks remember people and reward gratitude 10. Avoid weekends at 2-5 a.m. packed with drunks and laggards I don't give 5 stars. It's not good for quality. Like Avis, it keeps them trying harder. However, you CANNOT deny a high 5 when everything is right 9 out of 10 times. If you hate pancakes, you won't anymore. Oh yeah, available in whole wheat. Never felt the need to try something I knew would come up short in comparison. Summary: 1. The least inspired name of a restaurant I've ever known. 2. The best breakfast in Chicago. Over and out.

On a recent visit to Chicago, a group of us wanted to head some where for some good breakfast. After searching reviews, this looked like a good choice. Started off by getting there and having to wait for a table of 10. But not long. Once being seated, we were greeted by our waiter (who looked exactly like Russel Peters) He was very attentive and had no issues with service. The food was very good that I couldnt stop eating. I ended up eating too much, I could barely walk. Russel carried me out (no not really) The issue I had was when it came to bills. When Russel brought our bill to our table, he pointed to the front where we have to pay and told us we could split the bill up front. When we got to the front, they had told us that they can't split bills over $100. Now that really doesnt make sense to me. If you give them more business and order more items you get punished for it? It just makes things very complicated and a friend had to charge everything to his card and we would have to pay him back. But really who carrys cash now a days? All in all, a good eggsperience, just next time if we have a large group of people, we will probably go elsewhere that does split checks.

We visited Eggsperince 2 times during our stay in Chicago. The breakfast are amazing. We had great service on a Saturday morning while they were super busy. I had the Mushroom and Spinach scramble my eggs were cooked perfectly. Our kids loved the green eggs and ham.

JM M.

The place is so clean it shined. The staff although harried and quick moving were polite. The portions were very generous and had good flavor. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because my specialty coffee was served room temp. Other than that come eat and enjoy. Your belly will be full so you can enjoy wandering around the great city of Chicago and enjoy the Sears Tower....yeah I went there.

Vegetarians BEWARE: DO NOT ORDER the tomato mozzarella panini under any circumstance. The sandwich was a soggy-cheese-gooped-mess. Realizing the sandwich was a complete loss, I took comfort in the fact I could at least fill up on hash browns. Since this was take out and I was starving, I was less than impressed when I found chunks of CHICKEN & HAM IN THE HASH-BROWNS! Un-eggcceptable.

I'm not the biggest fan of breakfast, but I'm definitely a fan of Eggsperience. They do breakfast right. I had the protien omelete and I swear they used half a dozen eggs to make it. I went here two times over one weekend and I'm looking forward to going back. It was crowded both times I went, but never too busy where I had to wait.

Oh Eggsperience, where have you been all my life?! I finally came here for late night eats after a crazy night of halloweening and boy oh boy were those some good eggs. A chorizo fritatta, to be exact. And within walking distance of downtown bars and clubs. Score! They serve breakfast 24/7. And gooooood bfast too! I almost always crave bfast food so this is a winner in my book. No more driving to greasy chinatown or Tempo (shudder) for this late-night gal. Oh no, eggsperience has found a regular in me. I'm sure it's just as packed during actual bfast/brunch hours as well as it should be. They pretty much got somethin for everyone. Friendly service, good eats and 'round the clock - I Am a FAN! Don't be surprised if you see me there in da morn get my brunchy brunch on and in da wee hours gettin my drunk late night eatin on! :)

Staying downtown and wandering the streets at 4am because I couldn't sleep Eggsperience was still open and my sister mentioned that they had good food My boyfriend and I decided to stop in for a bite. It was packed with slick haired guys in tight shirts, and girls with big hair and tiny dresses that they squeezed themselves into this made me think i just walked into a episode of jersey shore but really everyone was getting out of the clubs and bars to grab food to soak up the alcohol they just drank. I ordered the cooks omelet with the suggestion from our waiter who also looked like he could be a character from mtv. The portion was big with hashbrowns and a side of pancakes also made fresh. With the music bumpin in the background I ate my food. overall good portion, good food, and a trendy scene place. I'd suggest it for late nights instead of stopping into the 24/7 Mcd stop here.

This is a pretty hoppin' place on a Sunday morning, but service is brisk and the tourists want to get in and out, so it actually doesn't take too long to get seated. 15 minutes, maybe, if that? Everything is pretty decent, but I wouldn't say it's elevated above regular breakfast food. Fake syrup on the table always bums me out. I think I had a scramble, which came with toast/pancakes and hash browns - one of those big, hearty American breakfasts! A perfectly fine place to refuel or kill a hangover on a weekend morning, but won't provide anything "eggseptional." Oh I went there.

my sister and niece had the brilliant idea that eating three giant crepes after deep dish would be swell. I sat back, ordered a coffee and watched them nearly explode. i sipped on my coffee and maybe ate 3 bites max. I was in so much pain from the deep dish earlier. The food was okay, but sweet baby Jesus, the portions in the Midwest!!! It was unreal. 3 massive crepes smothered in bananas and nutella. It was too much. Maybe it's just me, but seeing such huge portions just makes it so unappetizing :(

Not a bad place for breakfast! We got there a bit early for a Saturday (830am), immediate seating. I ordered the nine grain french toast (asked for sugarfree syrup) and my fiancee had the traditional eggs benedict. Both were really good! Price was very reasonable, if I had the option I'd visit again.

Always a great place for breakfast. Fast, friendly knowledgeable service, good food, and a good price. What more can you ask of a restaurant? We make this a regular stop in the downtown area.

I was a huge fan of our Eggsperience experience and would definitely go back when I'm next in Chicago. My fiance and I went on a weekday morning before heading to work which meant that the large space was only somewhat full. He ordered a breakfast burrito that was the size of a cat and ridiculously good. He literally had to push the plate across the table to restrain himself from eating the whole delicious mess which was probably a 3000 calorie eggstravaganza (pun intended)! I made my own breakfast scramble with egg whites, spinach, onions and ham. And while the scramble claims to be made with only 3 eggs, I'm confident that these were ostrich eggs and not chicken eggs because it was also the size of a large dinner plate, not including the potatoes it was served with. One again, the eggs were perfectly prepared and delicious. It was evident that the onions had been sweated first and released flavor into the spinach, and they also used huge chunks of thick, juicy ham steak. It was definitely a home run for me. Even the regular coffee here was enjoyable! I hear they are also open 24 hours, which could be a dangerous but delicious late night eggscursion if you're in the neighborhood!

Why is it that omelette and pancakes are so good when traveling? I had the " Cook's Calling" and the wife head banana and chocolate crazy totally awesome its a must try in my book.

There are few excellent breakfast/brunch places in the West Ontario area +/- 1.5 miles. But, Eggsperience is truly a hidden gem. A comfortable, well lit and clean environment welcomes you to a restaurant that has a well laid out menu and fair price points. Portions are on the larger side (especially the baked omelette), but easy to finish. I enjoyed the egg scramblers accompanied with fruit, toast and two small whole wheat pancakes. The food was solid. The coffee service was excellent and most of all the waiters were extremely kind and generous. I recommend you try Eggsperience should you be in the area. Good luck! P.S. If I had one recommendation, they should consider providing free WiFi service. It would be great to read the newspaper online while enjoying a delicious breakfast.

First off, I like corny names and this one was a double-whammy cause it was corny AND genius! That being said.. I wish I could come here every morning for brunch. They're famous for their corned beef hash. Lots o' beef, I coulda used a little more hash cause that's how I usually like 'em. Pancakes were delicious - yes, even the whole wheat ones. They're chewy and fluffy at the same time.. how do they do it?! Also tried their scramble cause I love me my eggs. Couldn't get me enough of those sausage chunks. Also tried their frittata, which was scrumptious. Overall, great service, really good better-than-diner food.

After the 10K run I thought I wouldn't be able to eat since it typically shrinks my appetite. The wait wasn't long at all on a Sunday a little before 10am. It was about 5 minutes and we were quickly set up with some coffee and cream. I got the Chorizo omelette and it was huge! It looked like the size of an 10" round cake about 2-3 inches high. It was very tasty and filling, and it came with the side of pancakes and hash browns. Talk about generous portions. Our waiter was nice, and the prices were great for the amount of food we got. It's always nice to have brunch options, and I'm sure we'll make our way back here again.

must visit! great place for brunch... extensive menue! HUGE local so they turn over customers pretty quickly which is a HUGE PLUS! Love that the menu is completely flexible, you can pancakes to this, or french toast to that with a minimal upcharge. HUGE portions for brunch so COME HUNGRY! great spot esp for tourist ( which i was) bc you get quality and you dont have spend all morning trying to get a seat! leaves plenty of time for sightseeing!

Whole grain pancakes were amazing! Best freshly squeezed orange juice I've ever had! Went here two days in a row on my vacation. A must try!

I love the name. So we had to come here. The place itself was very cute--eggs on the ceilings and diner style. Portions sizes were HUGE. I ordered a frittata (see photo), and it was larger than my face. It was really delicious--fluffy eggs topped with cheesy goodness. Unfortunately, there was no way to finish all the food. The frittata was less than $10-- a steal. One thing I would improve is the service. Not huge deal since I can see that they're just super busy, with not enough waiters. Overall, a good experience. It gave us the energy we needed for our kayak tour!

Mike B.

Very solid breakfast place. I got a scrambler with bacon, sausage, and scallions, and it ended up being more toppings than eggs (OH YEAH!). The hashbrowns are tasty too. My dad loved the pancakes. Just be wary that this place gets full on sunday mornings.
(4)
Theresa L.

Wasn't really all that impressed by this place. I would put it in the same category as ihop and dennys because its just another breakfast place with nothing really special. Yeah the foods good, and even better after you've been drinking all night, but doesn't have the WOW factor. But this place gets a big plus for being open late on the weekends for those who want to grab a bite to eat after the bar or club!

Awesome place in River North for a hearty meal. Yes, this is a chain, but among the Rainforest Cafe, McDonald's, and Hard Rock Cafe in the area, I felt like I was somewhere else and not in the heart of tourist central. The space is bright and cheerful, which was very welcome in the brutal cold that we had just come in from. Bonus: they leave coffee AND water carafes on the table for your pouring convenience. I love that because I like to drink lots and lots of coffee and water. The menu is expansive, offering omelets to crepes to frittatas. We were having a hard time deciding what to order but finally I settled on the mushroom skillet and my sister had the make-your-own scramble with turkey sausage, spinach, and mushrooms. We both picked pancakes over toast cuz it just felt like that kind of day. I loved my skillet! There were tons of onions, mushrooms, and of course, spinach. I ordered my eggs over easy. I finished mine, it was that good. My sister liked her scramble also but packed hers to go since she ate more of her pancakes. The pancakes were pretty good too. They had a crispy crust to them and a generous dusting of powdered sugar. I recommend it if you're in the area and want a substantial breakfast.

Wednesday morning, around 10, and the place is packed. Doesn't quite excuse a 14 minute wait to get syrup and butter after our pancakes show up, though. Food was good, though.

Hearing about a new breakfast place just a hop, skip and a jump from my office gets me warm and tingly inside. Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day, but ironically, I almost never eat it at its intended time of day. Instead, it's often breakfast for lunch or breakfast for dinner. Eggsperience fills a much-needed void in River North breakfast options. It's a big place with a big menu and when I want breakfast for lunch, it really hits the spot. I've been here a few times, as well a couple of the suburban locations, and everything I've tried has been good, with the exception of the pancakes, which I'm not really crazy about. They're kind of tough, chewy, and not fluffy, so I say skip 'em. As one would imagine, eggs and egg dishes are their specialty, and good thing too, if you've got a punny name for your restaurant, you better be able to deliver the goods. My favorite thing to get is their farm stand fritatta, which has a bounty of spinach, fresh mushrooms and cheese. Frittatas are a hard thing to make correctly. They're often overcooked on top but too runny in the center. Not so at Eggsperience; each and every one I've ordered has been right on the money. French toast, crepes, omelettes, and oatmeal and fruit/yogurt/granola options round out the menu. You will definitely find something to suit you on this menu. Eggsperience is great all-around breakfast/brunch/lunch place in an area that sorely needed one.

This is a utilitarian breakfast spot. Expect decent food and no character. We ate here on a Saturday morning during a weekend trip to Chicago. I ordered an omelet, my boyfriend got lox. The lox presentation was not appetizing (taste was mediocre--he should have known better). My omelet was large enough for a small army, so my boyfriend ate from that. The wait staff was okay. The omelet was fine. The only plus is that we did not wait for breakfast and got back to sightseeing. I would not go out of my way to eat here. There is no character and it is very noise.

Fluffy fluffy eggs of goodness!!! This place gets pretty packed on the weekend, so make sure you go early... It's near the touristy area, so it definitely gets crowded! The menu offers a lot of choices and they also offer healthy options that taste pretty darn good as well! I ended up getting the Elena's egg white omelet with low fat cheese, roasted peppers and mushrooms. This dish is amazing!! The eggs are soo fluffy and the omelet was packed with ingredients. The portions are huge so I was only able to put about a dent into half of it... I also got the whole wheat pancakes which were good but not as fluffy as the eggs... but that's why it's called EGGSPERIENCE!!! :) I would have totally gone for the banana and chocolate crepes but I was soo stuffed and it was too early for my stomach. I did walk by other people that ordered it and could smell the aroma of the sweet chocolaty crepes. This place is clean, great for large and small groups, offers a large variety of menu options and is open 24 hours a day! What more can you ask for?!!

If I could give less than a star I would! I went there about a month ago with my boyfriend. We had just finished up a work conference and stayed a few extra days to see the sights. We were seated in a very open spot, on a not busy time. The buss boy came and brought us water and that was just about ALL the interaction we got from the staff. The few tables around us got service, ordered their meals, recieved their beverages, but we got nothing. The waitress even made eye contact with me and just walked along. After about 10 minutes I decided to time to see how much longer we had to wait, we sat for an additional 20 minutes (timed) and no one spoke to us. NO ONE! In the mean time the people behind us recieved their food, and the wait staff just walked by. We decided that this place was obvioulsy not going to serve us, for whatever reason, so we just left. Even then, no one said anything to us. I was so furious I couldn't even speak, not that anyone would listen. We ended up going to Hard Rock, and recieved outstanding service.

A really great place for brunch! We actually came here accidentally. Our tour was delayed 45 minutes so we were walking around the River North area when a little old lady approached us and asked if we knew where Eggsperience was. We had no idea. So I pulled out my Blackberry and did a search through Yelp and was able to find it! The little old lady said her tour guide had told her this place was the best brunch place around. We thought : "Why dont we find out?!" And sooo we followed the little old lady into the restaurant to eat brunch too! We both ordered the breakfast special which was two eggs (any style) , sausages, hash browns, and your choice of pancakes or toast. We opted for the pancakes. The restaurant is extremely spacious and I love the booth seating. They also have counter seating with TV's by the counters for all you World Cup fans. Service here was prompt, fast, and friendly. Prices are extremely affordable. We are so glad the little old lady was lost otherwise we would have missed out on this awesome brunch spot! Must have been fate!

I didn't have any eggs. However, other people's eggs looked pretty average (hard to screw up an egg). What I did have was a stale bagel with lox and wilted red onions on the side and my friend had a spinach and cheese panini on stale bread. Common theme here is..stale.

There are those times where I want breakfast food and I want it NOW! I love breakfast and brunch, but I hate the sometimes really long waits for them - whether this was after a late night out or not. I called ahead to get an estimate on wait time: 10-15 minutes likely if we got there in the next 15. Perfect! When we got there, there was no padding of the wait time and I don't think we waited 10. The place is pretty Big (and TIP: open 24 hrs). Our waitress was friendly and quick. The orange juice was freshly squeezed and minimal pulp (which I really prefer). The coffee was given the good nod was well. The eggs benedict was very tasty and a good portion hollandaise without it being too much. It tasted very fresh too and I loved that it was pipping hot so you couldn't eat it right away. My sister ordered the chocolate chip pancakes and they were AMAZING! Sometimes those choices are too sweet or they load it with syrup - no: just chocolate and white chocolate chips drizzled on top that slowly melted. The perfect sweet combination. Plus it wasn't too expensive: approx $15/person + tip. All in all a pretty good spot!

Brunch is awesome! Eggsperience does everything quite well. My girlfriends and I came here for brunch on Saturday. I got the Corn-beef Hash and Eggs meal. One of my friends got the Nutella and Banana pancake meal. The other got the steak and egg skillet. All three dishes were marvelous. The portions were generous and everything was delicious. Okay, I've had Corn-beef Hash since I was a toddler. And Eggsperience hands-down makes the BEST Corn-beef Hash in all of Chicago. Definitely try the Corn-beef Hash! Also, get the Mango Tango smoothie - very good and very worth it. Negative: 1) Price is high 2) Parking is impossible 3) Cashiers are a bit rude Positive: 1) Generous Portions 2) Friendly waiters/waitresses 3) No wait! Always always seating available (thus far)!

I had the standard breakfast. Eggs, hashbrowns etc. Service & food was good. Busy though for groups bigger than two people because of location. Would come again.
(4)
Kit G.

We went again and it was just as good as I remembered! We went at around 8:30 on a Sunday morning and were seated immediately. The food came quickly and we were in and out within an hour. It was exactly what I needed to jump start my Sunday. They definitely gave me more food than I could ever eat, but it hit the spot. I ordered the Country Bennie, again because I remembered how much I like it the first time. It hit the spot, and I still love those potatoes!
(5)
Shannon W.

Holy pancake! Yes, this is the place for light-as-air, albeit huge, portions of the delictable breakfast treat. I really enjoyed my breakfast as a whole, but it can definitely become overwhelming with their titantic-sized portions (I recommend splitting meals, especially the pancakes or waffles). The ambiance is consists mostly of tourists, but Eggsperience is definitely not a tourist trap- great quality food at fantastic prices. While the dining area is large, expect to wait at least 30 minutes for a table, which can be longer on weekends. The service was very prompt and fast, and I'd definitely return.

Jamie B.

I did not have a great eggsperience here. I ordered the Egg White Omelette... I believe it was called Emily's Eggwhite Omelette or something like that. Anyway, it was supposed to be a healthy option served with a side of fruit instead of hashbrowns. Since I am trying to lose a couple pounds, I thought this sounded like a lovely option-- loaded with veggies. You can imagine my shock when out comes this monstrosity measuring about 12" in diameter--- so large it was nearly falling off of the plate. I thought for sure that this was a mistake. NOPE! This was their idea of a healthy option; a 10 egg white omelette. I was so embarrassed.... this portion sizing is absolutely ridiculous and I think there should be some sort of disclaimer on the menu or the waitress should have said something. To add to the eggsperience, the servers were all running around like chickens with their heads cut off, arguing with one another, dropping plates of food on the floor, and slamming cabinet doors. A man at the table over was wearing his pajamas and flip flops. The majority of the people who were eating here, from what I could tell,, were vacationers, which would probably explain the raving reviews, simply because they just don't know any better. Long story short: steer clear and head out to the neighborhoods for some quality food with reasonable portion sizes. This is one eggsperience I will not have again!

Emily A.

How do you get 4.5 stars? I haven't figured that out yet, sorry. But this place is very good. I love breakfast and this place has an excellent breakfast eventhough i thought 25 bucks was a little steep for one person to eat eggs, bacon and pan cakes. BUT they have homemade juices and other yummy things so if you want a nice, special breakfast this is a great place to go. They often have a long wait, but it's not THAT bad. Enjoy!
(4)
Gia A.

If I were a breakfast person, I'd probably be a bigger fan - but I can't really say anything bad about this place. I live a block or two away, so I dropped in one morning with friends. Seems like a tourist-y spot, it is always filled, but our wait time wasn't bad at all. Our server was ridiculously friendly, and my greek omelet was about the size of a small infant. Huge menu w/ lots to choose from. Definitely recommend for those hearty breakfast go-ers.

Eric T.

Went there for our first breakfast for a long weekend in Chicago and it just what we hoped. The staff was friendly, food was great and good strong coffee. It's located right in the middle of everything just a few blocks off Michigan Avenue. Value was pretty good as well. Recommend you make time to check this one out.

Amie C.

Finally made it here! Parking was always crummy the couple attempts we made. Holy orange juice batman! That oj maker is BA! Now, because I'm not an oj lover I didn't have any but I bet it's fresher than fresh! We were initially seated at a tiny table next to a tall wall that was clearly a table placed to be able to seat 2 more patrons on busy days. Now, they weren't all that busy anymore so why put us here? Oh well. It was really drafty and chilly in that particular spot so we moved to the counter, much better choice because we could distract ourselves with TV. I ordered an omlette with bacon, onion, green pepper, tomato, and cheese. IT WAS GIANT. And baked, I think. It was gooey and delicious. Definitely one of the top 5 omlettes I've enjoyed. Crispy, crunchy hashbrowns = eh, yum but, just eh.
(4)
Jeanette S.

I had a Mediterranean egg white omlette that was literally bigger than my head. It could have been split 4 ways and STILL been a full meal. I def. have leftovers and have truly never seen anything like this. SO fluffy too, it was picture worthy. Another thing of note is that they have delicious hash browns if you order them with American Cheese, hence our reason for going in the first place. We scored an extra orange juice since they forgot they already brought one and said they would comp the second one (very nice), so we were pretty excited about that 'win'. Great place for all groups (the hungover, the church-ees, the out of town brunchers, the locals...) and the service has been consistently good, as well as the food.
(4)
Thomas B.

This terrific place has quite a few healthy options as well. They have a bunch of smoothies on the menu as well as sandwich wraps and salads. It's far more than a traditional greasy breakfast place! For larger groups, they also have a separate area in the back to accommodate you!

HUGE portions! The food was good and made for a hearty breakfast. The California Eggscrambler was too much for me to handle but it had great flavor. Pancakes on the side was a nice change but they didn't knock my socks off. Service and atmosphere was nice.

Vicki W.

I kept thinking, "Don't come back, Vicki. This place is only going to disappoint you again." I'm glad I didn't listen to my inner Vicki because I had a slightly better experience this time around at Eggsperience. I have to admit that the real reason for coming here was that I got a late start today and didn't feel like waiting in line for a table anywhere. Since this joint seats over 200, I knew that any wait would be negligible and it sure was. I started off with a regular sized frozen mocha. Mmm mmm good. The cold, chocolate flavor lasted the entire time. There was no annoying "I've sucked out all the flavor and now I only have slushy ice left" taste. As I vowed in my original review, this time I had a lunch entree. I went with the bacon cheeseburger and french fries. The fries were of the shoe string variety and crisp to the bite. The burger arrived on a brioche bun with a hearty amount of cheddar melted atop. The bacon was a modest amount (which was A-OK with me), but could have been crisper. While I didn't think I would, I actually enjoyed the smoky and spicy chipotle mayo. That was my fry dip instead of my usual dousing of ketchup. Oh yeah, the meat! I'm used to these diner burgers having that nasty almost spoiled, grade Z meat taste. This patty did not have that gross meat flavor. It was more than palatable. Eggsperience, you have redeemed yourself in my eyes! I will be back to try more!
