Last minute call to not cook and clean, so we went to Egg Harbor. The food, service, and overall atmosphere are great. I try something different usually, but I did ask about the Georgia grits. No longer on the menu, but should be brought back...as a special on occasion.More

We met a cousin when in town, each ordering something different: eggs, fruit, french toast, and a Moroccan spiced dish. Started with cider mimosa and espresso. Portions just the right size for not overeating.

We were a few hours prior to check-in with our daughter at Wheaton College and really needed some comfort food. We found it! Wonderful menu variety, super quality food, coffee and atmosphere. Highly recommend and we'll eat here again. Not cheap, but you get what...pay for here. Wonderful staff too.More

This restaurant is only open for breakfast and lunch and they have a great variety to choose from. Everything is good and the staff is attentive and friendly. Very kid friendly as well.

We were there at 1130 am on a Friday so it wasn't too crowded. Service was excellent. We had tortilla soup, door county melt, chicken salad on a bed of greens with mandarin oranges,nuts,etc and poppyseed dressing. Food was very good. Child got belgian waffle-...a bit soggy on the bottom-only disappointment. We will return.More

Came here with another couple who were visiting from out of town. We all loved what we ordered. The Lobster Salad Melt was excellent. Had half a sandwiche left for the next day. Didn't realize it came with a salad and potatoes. One of our...group had a special of the day omelette which he liked very much. We were all impressed with the quality and quantity of the dishes served. For sure will come again when we're back in town.More

Enjoyed this little place and staff were very friendly and helpful and a big welcome made me feel at home when I arrived. Good breakfast and English tea with refills made my day. Thank you.

Not a fan of this location. My latte was warm, not hot, although I did say VeryHot. Eggs over easy. Were hard. My grits were cold. Had to ask to be reheated in microwave. My moms skillet- potatoes hard to chew, had to push them...aside. Eggs hard, not over easy. On my check out, asked how was everything, but they didn’t care, it’s just something that is said to everyone. Been to many egg harbor restaurants, I won’t return to this one in Wheaton.More

Egg Harbor has my favorite chicken salad sandwich: the Door County Melt. I also enjoy the less caloric Door County Chicken Salad. This is a pleasant place to meet, and they don't rush you out the door. The service is always excellent. A pitcher of...water is immediately placed on the table, and the server always brings extra napkins without being asked. I appreciate that! I enjoy eating outside when the weather permits, and I'm thrilled they now have parking in a second lot across the street.More

Met friends for a delightful late breakfast. Good service and no rush for us to leave. Easy to chat over another cup of coffee. A little pricy, but good.

Enjoyed Cinamon French Toast this morning. Prices are reasonable with quality service. Met a friend for breakfast who enjoyed his vege-omelet with some specific options to deal with his diet requirements. They aim to please here. I have also enjoyed lunch here. There's a decent...parking lot attached south of the Metra Tracks!More
