Eggsperience Pancakes and Cafe

Great option for breakfast/​brunch in Park Ridge.
I was up north with my friends and we decided to stop by on a Sunday afternoon. We were seated right away. Our waitress was kind and attentive. Also the place was super clean.
Our food came fast. Everything tasted good & overall it was a perfect brunch experience.
I definitely recommend.

Sadly to say, Eggsperience is nothing but your average or less than average breakfast/​lunch spot. Their lunch items are actually much better than their breakfast options. Breakfast omelets are sometimes absolutely tasteless. Even their hash browns are blah. The only omelet or breakfast item that is decent is their chorizo omelet. It’s got spicy chorizo that essentially kicks up the flavor. Their French toast and Belgian waffles are also decent when you add fresh fruit or Nutella to them. Lunch items that are my fav are their sweet potato fries, turkey burger, chicken noodle soup, Cajun chicken wrap, chicken pesto panini, turkey panini, their beef and chicken burgers are also good and their tuna salad is ok. They should probably rename this location to «Lunchsperience» because their egg’s are lacking any sort of an Eggsperience LOL.

Breakfast may be my favorite meal, this place nailed it for both of us. Atmosphere, the staff, cleanliness, and most especially the food are all so excellent. I’m pretty sure this place raised the bar for how breakfast is done. Thanks Eggsperience for a meal well done.

The food was amazing! I have been there a few times and the food was good every time. This time I got the banana nutella crêpe. They gave me three crepes and they were more than filling. It took us 15 minutes to be seated but they were swamped so they did pretty decent on that. I definitely will keep returning.

First time at Eggsperience, today is New Year’s Day. The place was packed. Good coffee. I ordered the chicken avocado salad. The chicken was tough, the mango was hard, not a good balance of ingredients to lettuce. The mango vinegar dressing was good. The rest of my family had breakfast. They liked the omelette, didn’t like the cold not crispy hash browns. Liked the wheat toast. Ok bacon. The little ones enjoyed the pancakes and waffle. They also like a lot of syrup. Very nice waitstaff. Not sure if I’ll go back. Hostess was frazzled, but very nice.

Great food, great service. I did not know you could make an egg white omelette so fluffy and tasty. True masters in the kitchen! Will certainly be back.

I have been going here for years and have had a few issues the last few times I have dined in. I am done dinning here and ordering out from here for pick up. Today was the worst. After ordering an omelet with sausage on the side, hash browns and a few other items we get home to find half of our order missing. So we called to tell them that we received none of the toast, pancakes or sausage that was SUPPOSE to come with our order. We had to drive back to get our sides. Get home again and find out they gave me whole grain toast when I ordered sour dough and my omelet cheese was not even melted. It sounds like such a silly thing to complain about but it just amazes me how they screwed up some of the easiest things to accomplish. We won’t be returning and will be letting friends and family in the area know that it’s not a great place to get pick up orders from.

Bad, I will never step foot in this place again. I had the three breakfast burritos and the tortilla was not cooked it tasted like cardboard. My wife had French toast it was not cooked all the way through and it was horrible. The price tag was also high will never return.

Used to love this place. However menu has changed and my favorite California omelet is gone! Ordered an egg white omelet and it was swimming in oil. When said something to the waiter he said next time ask for it with no oil and a spray would be used instead. Okay, but what about this one? Didn’t offer to replace and could barely eat it. — too greasy.
Won’t be coming back.

The food and service are both really great here. The orange juice is fresh squeezed and VERY good. Bur havent been here in a while and noticed they have new menus. They now use range free organic eggs which is great, BUT now the average cost for each meal is $ 10.50. I was already here i wasnt going to leave, but $ 10.50 is pretty high just for breakfast

My grandparents took my cousin and I out for breakfast the other day becuase school was starting soon. The décor inside was really cute and colorful. They seated us right away and our server was there to give us coffee and water. She was super nice and attentive! The only thing was she brought my grandpa wheat toast instead of rye, which is totally not a big deal. I had french toast and the hashbrowns with cheese and bacon! AMAZINGGG! My grandma had the Elena egg white omlette. She loved it and she says she gets it everytime she comes here! They refilled our water and coffee as needed. Perfect spot to go to brunch, I am a fan!

Service is good, the staff is attentive and polite. Ambience is okay, more or less an explosion of bright child friendly colors. The restaurant overall was clean on our visit, one dirty glass but overall okay.
As for the food, nothing really stands, pretty standard breakfast choices and quality. The kids liked the pancakes and french toast, my wife was fairly happy with her omelette and I was fairly disappointed with my eggs. Let me explain, the scrambled eggs tasted undercooked and runny. I’d personally rather have eggs that were a little overlooked. At least I could eat them, when they are undercooked I can’t. Kinda like bacon, personally I prefer crispy bacon, rather than chewy. Overall the bacon was well done, a couple just missed the mark but close enough.
Overall a pretty standard breakfast, not sure we’ll be back. If we are in the neighborhood maybe but otherwise it’s a pass for me.

Not even sure how to describe it. I’ve been coming here for a few years and it was one of our fav spots to go to with large family groups. But after today, don’t think I’ll be going back.
My 10 yr old son ordered an omelet with sausage, cheddar and spinach. Half way thru his omelet he told me he thinks there was a bug in his omelet. He started poking at it after he bit into something crunchy. When i looked it sure enough was a bug. What kind of bug you ask? A baby roach! And this one was intact. Which means my son probably ate one, hence the crunch! I remained calm, did not cause a scene, I asked my son to stop eating and place it in a napkin. I called the waitress over to show it to her and explained it was in his omelet. She call the manager over. When he came to the table i gave him the napkin and showed him and explained to him as well. He seemed stunned, balled up the napkin (obviously not wanting other patrons to see) and his only response to me was that they have the restaurant sprayed weekly, if there were any other issues and that he would comp my son’s plate. Really? Not the response i would expected from the manager after my child has now been traumatized and was chugging water on end until we were ready to leave. We paid the remainder of the bill. But we will definitely not be back. And I’m guessing the rest of my family won’t be seen there again either. — i worked within the food and beverage industry for nearly 12 yrs so i understand what happened to an extent. But not happy at all with how the manager handled it.

Non-​foodie stuff: Very nice location in Park Ridge. Clean tables. FABULOUS staff. Waitress was nice and efficient as could be. Thumbs up for everything there.
Food. Good, solid food. I had the Tommy Boy and it totally delivered on the ingredients, unlike other places that tend to skimp on meat addins. Delivered with good presentation and perfect temperature. Portions are very generous.
The food isn’t fancy or ‘gourmet’. There’s not a lot of ‘excitement’ added to the dishes. But you can get a good, solid meal that tastes good. Added note, their buttermilk pancakes are very tasty. They even hold up to taking home and having the next day.
I wish I could give 3.5 stars. This is a great place for a family looking for a good breakfast spot. For fussy people like me who like a bit ‘more’, it’s ok. But don’t let that stop you from trying this place.
And definitely check out the pancakes.

Good fresh food and at good price. There was a wait but not to bad for a Saturday morning.

Floor was dirty and not swept throughout the place. I was seated in booth with a torn seat. No effort made to hide it, as seen in my photo.
Picking up used dishes seemed to be a problem… Again, as you can see in my photo. Finding my waiter to order dessert was a major undertaking. No one would take my order unless it was him…
Not a good experience, especially with the dirty floors and torn seat in booth. I expected a bit more for something that was 3.5 stars on Unilocal

Very tasty breakfast spot! The menu had a large variety of breakfast food! The service was very good for a busy Sunday morning.
There’s plenty of parking between the above ground and under ground parking.

My pops and I were in a rush to get to the Blackhawks game and Eggsperience was en route.
I got the Tommy Boy skillet with my potatoes well done. My dad got the Mediterranean omelette. Both were good. The Mediterranean had too much feta cheese and my Tommy was a little too salty but overall good. Pancakes were average.
Service was great! They accommodated our rush to the game, I even noticed our food came out before another table that had ordered before us! I would def return.

I LOVE a good breakfast place. This place has it all… pancakes, waffles, crepes… skillets, frittatas, omelettes… Bacon, egg, sausage… smoothies… juices of all flavors… you can indeed have it all. And you can ice cream to the top of it. YES YOU CAN. And the coffee is 100% Organic (whatever that really means).
Tasty and delicious and it did not disappoint. And free underground parking. WIN!

I love this place. So clean, so efficient, so delicious and very professional.
It has a great location with a very basic décor. The good thing is that it has big windows that allow natural light.
I usually tend to go a bit early on the weekends because it has a big wait after 10.
The food Is amazing. The omelets are fluffy, delicious creative and fresh. Their coffee is organic and they have wheat grass. Yuuuum! Their corned beef hash and their lox tho are probably the best things about this place.
I have been to this place over a dozen of times and I have yet to have a bad «eggsperience».
