Such a cool display of decor and art. This is the best meal we have had our entire vacation 😋. Alllll of it was delicious. We will be back on our next trip!
We went Father's Day, so we called just in case it was busy. It was rammed. The decor is beachy blue with original artwork. We were seated by the orange juice machine. First time I ever saw that the juice is really freshly squeezed. The kids' selection is truly kiddie friendly and not an over filled plate of food. The pancakes were shaped like teddy bears or Mickey Mouse. I had the French toast, which is scrumptious. Hubby got the sampler, which is a nice sized portion. We had originally gone to use my kid's gift certificate he got from school, but it was a holiday, so we'll come back another time to use them. Service is efficient. Servers were very busy today, but they turned the orders very quickly and got people seated very quickly despite the mad rush. Reminded me of brunch places during peak hour in the Lower East Side - quick, efficient, tasty. I never knew how busy it was in here. I pass by it all the time. This means it is good and the service is great. I'd probably come back when it's less busy and not a special occasion to enjoy the meal even more.
Really great atmosphere with a slow pace. Fresh squeezed orange juice, hot coffee and pretty good mimosas make for a nice start for breakfast.
The food was delicious! Take a shot on the corned beef hash and the biscuits and gravy - you might want to take a nap afterwards, but 100% worth it!
Glad we made the stop!
Nice brunch place. We were surprised to be seated right away with no wait. Orange juice is freshly squeezed from a cool machine. I was a little surprised that the skillet entree didn’t actual come in a skillet.
This gem of a place was phenomenal. I came with my 5-year-old on a Sunday morning and was shocked to be seated right away. This is a credit to the ample space with lots of seating and organized, young, fast-moving staff.
The kids menu has good options, with a variety of fresh berry fruits as the side (not just melons!) But perhaps best of all is what they have instead of the typical cheap waxy crayons that break in less than a minute…Wikki Stix! Genius. My daughter was captivated the entire time and we are now ordering this toy for ourselves! The owner of this restaurant should get a commission!
Our server was prompt, friendly with a nice smile and just the right amount of attentive. She knew the menu and also knew how to talk to a child.
The fresh-squeezed orange juice alone was worth the visit. My egg sandwich with ham was cooked perfectly, the side bacon was crispy, and the breakfast potatoes were not your typical heavy starchy side.
A trip to the “treasure box” for my daughter completed our weekend visit to The Original Egg. Kudos to this locally owned restaurant with a lovely owner for going that extra mile. We will definitely be back!!
Omg the original egg on Clark is FANTASTIC! The BEST breakfast I’ve ever had. The Briannas cookie butter and skillets are AMAZING! The owner dawn is so sweet and hard working! BEST restaurant in town!!
Amazing sweet dishes, delicious gravy. The pancake was well reviewed but personally tasted a bit average. The cookie butter French toast however, great balance of crisp and soft and has heavy whipped cream on the side. We had a wonderful waitress, Melanie, as well, who was attentive and took care of us when we were all surprised at the missing chorizo from our skillet. The atmosphere is very homey and welcoming with local artwork on the walls even available for purchase.
It was super cute. The menus were shaped like eggs and they had a lot of amazing options to pick from. Their fresh squeezed orange juice was delicious. I would definitely go again.
Brianna'a Cookie Butter French Toast: that was amazing. Must eat.
Brandon’s Fiesta Skillet: Delicious. It didn't have chorizo as advertised, and when we told our server she checked with the kitchen and was evidently also surprised to learn they were out. She gave us a slight discount for that.
Biscuit with gravy: That gravy was amazing, we wound up taking some home.
Jerry's Blue Banana Pancake: Looks amazing with that massive size, I've never seen a pancake with that large a circumference. Tasted typical.
Our server Melanie was great, attentive, friendly, and generous in letting us take home coffee (it was nearly closing time and she said it would have been poured out otherwise).
All our food was delicious--western omelet, Philly cheese steak sandwich, waffles with strawberries, French toast, and kids breakfast with biscuit and gravy. Only reason I am not giving 5 stars is because the waitress was so busy, she didn't have time to refill our drinks. But she was very friendly and we will definitely be back next year!
The food here was just amazing, coming here on Christmas eve about 20 mins before close they still took us (my family of 4) in and got us seated with huge smiles on their face.
When ordering our waitress took her time with us, and our wait time for our food took no time at all (roughly 5-10 mins)
When our food came to the table everything looks delicious and it tasted just as good as it looked!
Their Belgium waffles with whipped cream and powdered sugar were just perfect, with the side of scrambled eggs having the perfect about of food!
The colossal Pancake is just that, it was massive from what I was told it was delicious and the eggs on the side was a tad too much
The Original egg never disappoints.
They have the best veggie burger in town and the best sweet potato fries ever.
I definitely will be back!
Given it is Christmas Eve day and the place was packed, everything was good. They had nice options for breakfast and lunch. Prices were average. Portions were good.
I love the food. The owner is very nice. We usually had take out, but last time we ate in. It can use a little sprucing up. It was clean, but just some updates.
The food was fantastic.
The service was incredibly fast.
The only downside in my opinion is for the price that you're paying. The portion size is a bit small.
