The veggie omelet platter was just enough to fill & fuel me! Fresh & Delicious! 😋

This was my second time here and it was one of the best experiences. The food was to die for and Giovanni was extremely knowledgeable and so sweet! I will definitely be back!

The food here was sooo good!! I got the Eggsuberant, my daughter got the S’moores pancakes, & my fiancé got the Great Eggspectation. We all really enjoyed our food & there’s so many choices in the menu that I will need to come back to try as well!! The coffee was stronger than I care for, I used at least 6 Stevia in the raw packets & it still could’ve used more. This place was a bit noisy & little chilly inside. I’d definitely recommend!!

We waited for 46 min after being told the wait was 10 min. We were seated in a booth and the seat had a 12 inc tear and exposed foam and crumbs .Server was fast and accommodating but the food wasn’t prepared properly . We asked for med rare lamb chops and received raw chops . The gooey bread was delivered last after all food was out .
My eggs and shrimp Benedict over grits was delicious. Bathrooms were dirty . Could be a great place with betting management !

I'm so disappointed that I need to change this formerly 5 star review (old review below).

The menu has been revamped, and in that process, many of the vegetarian- friendly options have been removed, including the ability to swap a vegetarian protein for the various breakfast meats. There are no longer any vegetarian substitutions.

The prices are no longer excellent, either. Today, I paid $17 for a just-ok omelet and potatoes that, despite having the same name they used to, are no longer nearly as good as they used to be.

This may be a function of it being a Sunday morning, but it was so loud in there that I could barely carry on a conversation.

My previous review is below. I'm hoping that the management will consider revising the menu to make it more flexible for vegetarians and others with dietary restrictions.

OLD REVIEW

Very relaxed atmosphere and an amazing menu! There were plenty of vegetarian options, and they can even add a Beyond Burger to omelets! Prices are very reasonable. Service was excellent, but it was a slow Monday morning, so that may differ during a weekend brunch rush.

I would absolutely recommend this restaurant if you're going to breakfast with people who have dietary restrictions.

Vegetarian options: Very few vegetarian options and no substitutions available.

Found a hair in my meal and did not comp it for me. Never been to a place that’s done that. I don’t typically leave reviews but that always bothers me, be aware!

Wasn't eggspecting sour whole milk in cappuccino and utensils that need an extra scrubbing... Service was prompt to correct these on the spot so pleasant dining overall. How can you improve? Well, drink and eat your cooks meals and then compare it with your competition. Do you want to set a standard or are you just meeting subpar to get along?

Horrible!! Took my Stepmom there for a birthday brunch (her first visit, and last) Waited 45 mins at the table for our order. Waitress came over several times and apologize for the wait. She explained the problem was with the kitchen. Eggspectations bought a software called Toast and while one part of the kitchen received the order the other part does not, so the order is not complete to be brought out. She also explained there were STILL three orders ahead of ours to fill. So, she brought out fries and bread ( nothing that we ordered). Part of our meal came out and it was greasy & overcooked. The waitress saw the food and decided to comp the meal, she was SO frustrated as well. The waitress still got paid. My stepmom now has those birthday memories.

This was my first time to the restaurant and from start to finish I definitely & thoroughly enjoyed myself. We were celebrating a birthday and the service was phenomenal. Alyse R. was amazing, very attentive, personable and made the experience one to not forget. I think I found my new brunch spot, as the pricing was reasonable. ?

Indoor and outdoor dining options. The outdoor patio is pleasant but overlooks parking lot/driveway. Menu has multiple selections for breakfast/brunch with gluten-free options, offers multiple flavors of mimosas with pitcher options for sharing. Wait staff are friendly and check in sufficiently without rushing. I had a crab and shrimp omelet. The portion is generous and comes with a side of potatoes. The flavor was good.

Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free options

Kid-friendliness: Highchair and carseat holders available for little ones

Eggspectation in Christiana is a really nice place to have breakfast. At the suggestion of a family member we ended up stopping here for first time and in the spur of the moment. The server Juliana started off and continued being pleasant the entire time. She happily had the chef remake the blueberry pancake without the powdered sugar topping. In fact they even added an extra bonus pancake in a nice "to-go" box.

Eggspectation gives hefty food portions too. One area is more of a sports bar with big flat screen TVs. Try the blueberry pancake with a drizzle of maple syrup. Also the French vanilla-hazelnut coffee is deliciously smooth. Parking is plentiful. You'll be glad you stopped by. 5 Spoon ? ? ???
GOD BLESS the entire staff!

Overpriced tasteless food. Ambiance is great and the service is alright too. We literally had to use ketchup to make it edible. Absolutely not worth it. Also, the coffee tastes like water with color in it. Go to first-watch.
