Leland BrewsterAugust 15, 2015This place is the best. Omelettes are fantastic (and big!) plus it's BYOB. Line moves fast so don't get scared by the wait for a table.
Himanshu JainApril 22, 2018Must try the smoothies. Don't forget to mention no sugar! It's quite sweet without the added sugar. I had the mixed berry. You may skip the latte/ cappuccino, quantity/ quality: price is amiss.
Joshua KercherAugust 8, 2013Download the @Freebie_App to see if your social score nets you a free Eggy's burger or Eggy's milkshake. I got both and didnt pay a dime! Gratuity isn't included so tip your server!! #FreebieApp
Blaise HopkinsAugust 7, 2019Irish skillet was dope. Great cheddar and corn beef hash mix. Absolutely get fresh squeeze juice. Amazing grapefruit and OJ and makes mimosas next level.
ChicagoistMay 5, 2015Eggy’s cooks its peppery patties to medium-well, but they remained plenty juicy. It's tough to hold together, with pastrami and a fried egg, but don't fill yourself up and ignore the hand-cut fries. Read more
I love the patty melt and they have the best fries in Chicago. The turkey club is also amazing. Pancakes are great too. You really can't go wrong.- Joel CraigDecember 5, 2013One of my favorite little lunch spots in the Loop, whether taking a break from a bike ride or meeting the other half near work. Never a bad meal here, definitely worth checking out.
Ashley StarkNovember 2, 2015Seriously the best breakfast I think I've ever had. Biscuit Benedict with potatoes and side of bacon. So very good! Everything that I saw there looked amazing.
Matt LaurinasMarch 2, 2013Chicago's little breakfast secret. Tucked inside of River West Eggy's is a nice, warm spot for great food and never a long line. Try the chilaquiles for a good time
Ricky SherrillNovember 24, 2015My goto spot for breakfast when staying in the Loop. It beats the hotels easily. It can be hard to find but worth the effort.
xelsterJuly 8, 2020Nice hidden place in the residential area in front of Millennium park. Good prices and have beer/cocktails as well.
Don't get Green Eggs and Ham if you don't want a delicious and somewhat unconventional breakfast. Their Benny is also great if you want an unconventional take on something more conventional.
Tasting TableMay 1, 2012Satisfy your breakfast cravings (all day long) with its breakfast sandwich, stacked with fiercely sweet-tart pickled onions, crisp shards of glazed bacon and a slather of herb aioli. Read more
Redeye ChicagoAugust 3, 2014The restaurant itself that can be tricky to locate. This diner is located in the Lakeshore East complex hidden away just north of Millennium Park. Read more
Vivian NguyenSeptember 21, 2015The Eggy's Benedict was killer. Maple glazed pulled pork on a mini waffle, with crispy potatoes. Don't forget a milkshake!
BeeeeJune 3, 2017Generally it is a cool place to have breakfast, the Verb Omelette was really good but a bit oily to me, better share with your friends coz the dish is kinda heavy.
lino brescia™August 19, 2017Really large breakfast portions. Forget dinner plans. You won’t need them. Yum
Devon GoffmanJanuary 15, 2014Amazing breakfast! Great service! Park in the garage for free and stop into the grocery store- buy something and they validate your parking!
Alexandra StanevaAugust 28, 2016The Florentine crepes were amazing! Also worth trying the American Skillet if you want to go traditional American!- Perfect for those who like lunch fare for breakfast! Whole menu available all day. Don't miss the homemade potato chips which usually come warm.
BethersJRJuly 9, 2013Had the Build Your Own and it was out of this world delish!!! Potatoes are insanely good. :) YUM!!!!
- Manoj AmbalavananDecember 10, 2021Solid brunch spot with plenty of options and robust menu. Bread they serve as a side is memorable (i.e. not your average toast)
Crain's Chicago BusinessJune 20, 2012The delicious Eggy's Benedict ($13.50) features poached eggs on pork belly with maple syrup over wedges of maple-soaked cornbread underneath a light Hollandaise. Read more
Ally ShwedOctober 10, 2015Loved the breakfast potatoes and cheesy grits. Solid coffee and pancakes, too. And big omelets!
AlisonJune 29, 2012Green eggs and ham and breakfast sandwich were both delicious. Good service, reasonable prices, welcoming. Tough to find parking in this area though.
Cynthia GarciaNovember 12, 2016I tried the Irish skillet- corn beef hash, eggs and potatoes with cheddar cheese- delicious!
Stellaa DuhartFebruary 2, 2017Their French toast was amazing, and so were the potatoes that come with any egg specialty.
Jason M.May 19, 2013Sit at the breakfast bar in the back if you are a food voyeur. Watching the food come out of the kitchen will leave you drooling.
Hamid Alan9aryJanuary 17, 2016Eggs! 😄 and eggs 😏 no matter how u like'em! Great place for breakfast 👍🏼 #Yeswaa
Stephen FountainJuly 15, 2013Going Ala carte is the best here. one pancake, some eggs and bacon is the perfect sized meal!
Sarah BlevinsAugust 13, 2012Very good food! Excellent service! Glad I found this place, keep up the good work.
Ben VMay 23, 2012The green eggs and ham are okay. I had to add Sriracha chili sauce to give it some kick. The people I was with recommended the Reuben.
Spencer SApril 21, 2012Free Wifi is a bonus, but let them know if you are waiting outside! Plus don't sit at the table by the door - drafty.
Byob!!! I always forget that!! Chilaques were amazing

Don’t be fooled by the name, Eggy’s is more than just breakfast (though it does have an extensive egg-centric menu). Modeled after the homey diners of the ‘60s, the menu is full of items designed to give a home-cooked feel. Think pancakes, grilled cheese sandwiches and burgers...
