Extensive menu with generous portions. We signed up on the waitlist on Saturday morning. When we arrived, there were ample open tables so we were seated immediately. One of us ordered a coffee and I like that they also give you a small carafe. Likewise with my Diet Coke -- they also gave me a full carafe of DC. There are many options for eggs, pancakes, Bennies and lunch items. I ordered a garden frittata and it was loaded with veggies and cheese, came with delicious harbor potatoes, an English muffin and jam. We also split a Strawberry French toast -- 3 large Texas-sized toast -- which was ok. This place gets packed on the weekends -- and staff is friendly and able to manage the hungry crowds. I also like that they bring the receipt with a QR code and you can pay by phone.

Unfortunately this time not satisfied with the quality of food. Oatmeal arrived completely undercooked. Second attempt wasn't much better. I think I will take a break from this location.

I was so looking forward to the cinnamon roll drenched with cream cheese frosting, as seen in the picture in the online app to order. I ordered two and walked over early to wait for their completion for my pick-up. I waited ( not long at all) and walked back home with my order. I opened the cinnamon roll package and it had nothing similar to the picture for the amount of frosting, nothing! There was no extra to spare, as in the picture online for ordering! Deceiving!!!!

Egg Harbor Cafe brings consistently delicious dishes to the table for breakfast or lunch. The seasonal menu is a good choice to make when visiting.

Although I've only ever had them "to go," they've always been on time with their orders and I've never had an issue with incorrect items. Substitutions/customizations were always honored without push back and I've always felt confident that I will get what I asked for. I can't speak too much on the ambiance, but it was always neat and clean when picking up my order. The food, albeit a little pricey, definitely hits the mark for a little bit of an elevated breakfast. Not sure that it would be my go-to, but it's definitely something for special "pick me up" times.

It's Egg Harbor! Quality across locations is notoriously consistent. Good and interesting food selection, with stellar staples and a rotating menu of specials, plus periodic changes to their main menu.I have enjoyed Egg Harbor in other locations for decades and I have no complaints about this one. Staff is persistent cheery and imminently friendly. Food and ingredient quality is consistent and always on par with other quality brunch joints. You won't necessarily find the most experimental items in the world here, but they do push out some interesting specials.Prices aren't cheap, but always on per with restaurants of similar quality and actually have not increased as massively as others with inflation. They treat their staff notoriously well and I have personally seen a guy I like go from a busboy with low English competency to a floor manager. Gotta love that.Dietary restrictions: The staff is ready and quite willing to adjust menu items to accommodate any dietary restrictions they can. They aren't heavily focused on this and probably can't, for instance, guarantee they've eradicated all traces of gluten from most meals, but they are glad to do what they can with no stress.Parking: The parking lot is a bit of a pain to navigate due to its design, but you can park both in the front and back and you'll never find yourself lacking.Kid-friendliness: Egg Harbor is Notoriously kid friendly. I can't speak for kids who behave catastrophically poorly, but I went to another location for most of my childhood and they were both kind and accommodating.

This is one of the better Egg Harbor Cafes. Our server Angel was excellent, friendly, accommodating, and didn’t miss a beat.Food was prepared in good time and delicious. We recommend the pancakes, bacon, scrambler with chorizo and ham, hot chocolate, and of course coffee.

This is an amazing brunch place. Food and coffee were delicious, and the interior was pleasant. It can be crowded on weekends, but I was still able to be seated without waiting too long.The portion size was decent. I wasn't able to finish my coffee so they allowed me to take out, which I thought was very nice. I ate here before going to a nearby water park (Hidden Creek Aquapark) and the food lasted long. I didn't get hungry too early after hours of water activities.Highly recommend this nice place!

Very good breakfast, the bacon and the toast were cooked exactly how I asked. The fresh butter and jam is excellent. My server Sam is friendly and attentive. As far as the cost,? Well everything is expensive but i would say this is a good value in today’s economy.

Awesome breakfast, big enough to share. The scramble was filled with tasty bits but the star was the maple bourbon bacon, say that without your mouth watering! Also really appreciated the loose leaf tea service It was a nice touch.

We visited for Sunday brunch and were seated right away. Our server, Darren was very friendly and made good recommendations to my husband who can never decide what he wants to order. I ordered the berry oatmeal and my husband got the pumpkin pancakes with eggs and bacon. They berry oatmeal was creamy and delicious with a heaping mound of blueberries and blackberries. It came with milk and sugar to doctor the oatmeal to my liking. I was pleased, sometimes restaurant oatmeal can be runny and weird. My husband really liked his pancakes and said the bacon was some of the best he's had in a restaurant. The strawberry OJ was also a unique beverage, we would suggest!
