Took my parents here after a Dr's appointment for breakfast. The food was delicious and fresh I love their skillets and my dad had their omelet. Service was fantastic and prompt 👍. If you haven't tried their chicken and wild rice soup try it! It's the best one they have creamy hearty and delicious. Place is a bit pricey about 100$ with tip for 3 people for breakfast food. My parents really enjoyed the food as well. Coffee brand could be better it just felt like a generic brand nothing to rave about. Overall would come back . Their menu is vast with a variety of selections to choose from.

Came here on the way back home, its really good. They do have biscuits and gravy but its not on the menu so you have to ask for it. The potato bits we got with the traditional breakfast were good but some tasted a bit like how incense smells.

Our department goes to Egg Harbor three times a year to celebrate birthdays, and today was one of those days! 🎉 They had lemon poppyseed pancakes on the menu. They were tasty, but I have to admit—I expected them to look like the picture, with the lemon glaze drizzled across the top. 🍋🥞

We tried Egg Harbor Cafe for breakfast Saturday morning. There was plenty of parking available and they were able to seat us immediately. I was really impressed with how friendly the staff were. Everyone cheerfully greeted us from the hostess to our server to the staff busing the tables. The food was outstanding. I had the crepe with lingonberry butter and lingonberry preserves and maple syrup. Light and airy and yet completely filling. The lingonberry flavor really shined through. My dining companions also raved about the crepe as well as the Smoked Salmon Benedict. We would definitely return for the great service and tasty breakfast.
Very caring, great food, great service.

Egg Harbor in Lake Forest would definitely be a 5 star BUT the water would be a zero!!! They need to get it filtered. It tastes and smells like chlorine. It’s troubling as the coffee and tea use that water and chlorine is a dangerous chemical to ingest at high levels. It prevents me from drinking anything here. We are almost daily customers and I’m thinking about bringing my own water to drink! GET IT FILTERED

Nice, quaint establishment. Sometimes difficult to find parking as it's in a little strip mall, but there's also parking on the street. Great service. Food is fresh, well seasoned and tasty. Avocado toast is great and chicken Avocado sandwich is delicious...the herb mayo makes it! I appreciate their mimosas...seasonal ones are worth trying...apple cider mimosa was lovely. I enjoyed dining here for brunch when in town

Love this place! I've been here 3 or 4 times and had a great experience each time. Food is yummy and reasonably priced. Service friendly. Not long of a wait if any. They keep things moving!

They had great food and even better service. They were quick to take our order, and our food came out quick as well.

The food and service here are nothing special. In fact, the food really leaves something to be desired.
The skillets were just mediocre, and the avocado toast was on plain white bread that probably saw no more than 10 seconds in the toaster. Also disappointing, the mimosas were almost entirely orange juice. I also apparently had to salt and pepper my eggs myself, because there wasn’t a speck of either to be found on them straight from the kitchen. The food is very much reminiscent of an inexpensive chain (apart from the prices), rather than quality food prepared with care at a mom and pop diner. Just not that good at all.
The service was not good. Our server forgot to fill up our waters. He then proceeded to plop a coffee carafe and water pitcher on the table, and never came back until we were finished to give us the check. No refills on mimosas or so much as a check in to see if the food was alright.
While not a downright horrible experience, we do not plan on returning.
