The Eastman Egg Company

I’m a breakfast guy. Hands down my favorite meal of the day. It’s hard to impress me as I enjoy my own made breakfast more than ones I have at restaurants. The Eastman food truck was on Randolph at Columbus this morning and i was pressed for time. What a treat!!! The egg sandwich on pretzel roll i thinks it’s an SC. All I can do is suggest when you walk by their truck or storefront STOP and order something. You are in for a real treat!

Best Breakfast Sandwich EVER!!!
They were right smack in front of my job today. I was initially planning on eating my boring oatmeal for breakfast, but when i saw the truck I couldn’t resist. I had «The Doc” — egg, bacon, white cheddar on ciabatta bread. They piled on the bacon, my husband would be in heaven… lol They are a little pricey tho, i think my sandwich was almost $ 7. However, i can’t eat this everyday so for a once-​in-​a-​while treat, i think its ok.

Every time I see the truck anywhere near my work or on my way to work I have to stop! I typically am in a rush in the morning and don’t eat breakfast but this is one place I don’t mind being late for!
I ordered The Doc and instead of bacon put smoked turkey (because cancer…) and it was delicious! I’ve also had just an egg and cheese on pretzel bun and it’s also great!
Everyone that works there is always kind and get you your food ASAP!

I’ve eaten here a few times now for breakfast (haven’t had lunch here) and have to say that I am addicted to The Crown. I’ve tried The Captain, The Eastman, and The Scoundrel and while they are all good, nothing has compared to the perfection of The Crown so far.
The location itself is pretty quick for both their food truck and physical location. The service has always been polite and the lattes from the physical location are good. Not as great as the sandwich but enjoyable.

Excellent egg sandwiches! We spent quite a bit of time trying to track them down, but once we found them, they did not disappoint. We tried 4 different sandwiches and enjoyed them all and I would certainly track them down again

Great sandwich! I tried this truck today at Daley Plaza during the food truck fest and wasn’t disappointed. I was really in between the Doc and the Capitan because and was happy to find out they make substitutions so I swapped the bacon on the doc for the sausage on the captain and wala, perfection! The sandwich is a bit on the pricey side for a breakfast sandwich, hence the 4 stars instead of 5 but besides that I would recommend this truck hands down! Quick, hot and delicious! Looking forward to trying the storefront location.

Mediocre egg sandwich for $ 7. I think it’s way over priced. The prices on the photo of the truck on this site aren’t the same as they were downtown. Just because we work there doesn’t mean we all make a lot of money.

I’m all the way from Louisiana and this here is a hearty breakfast in the form of a sandwich. Very flavorful and surprising place!

The food truck was at Diversey and Sheffield last week and the guys working there said the owners were looking at renting the abandoned Bagel store there. Anyway, spent $ 13 for an o. j and an egg sandwich.
Both tasted good, but $ 13 for a sandwich and small o. j while I am out to get on the Brownline? Think the place is a great fit for them once you are downtown and are limited to paying a lot more for food. Being a resident here, it would be sad to see these guys open up here just to close. The area is pretty empty by 9am once everyone is downtown or in the burbs working.
Like trying new places out, but, lol Starbucks would seem like a bargain to these guys. Decent food, expensive, and not sustainable in this area. Will try them if I miss my breakfast and they are near my job downtown.

If you’re the type of person who is into healthy eating, you know the one who wants a hearty all natural breakfast without the preservatives; well the Eastman Egg Company is the place for you!
The Eastman Egg Company is all about incorporating and promoting both healthy eating and local businesses. In fact all their products are raised, baked and brewed locally! Their meats and eggs are from the Slagel Family Farm a local farm, their bread is baked fresh from La Farine Bakery located in Logan Square, and their coffee is from Sparrow Coffee Roastery which is located in the West loop! So, not only are you getting a great product, but you’re supporting local business!
As for their food I do have a warning, it’s quite mouth watering, so don’t say I didn’t warn you.
With many amazing sandwiches to choose from, I’ll share with you my favorites! My go to Breakfast is «The Doc,» which is eggs, bacon, and white cheddar on ciabatta. I do add spinach and tomatoes to mine which takes it to the next level. This is a great post morning workout breakfast that’s way better than gulping a protein shake.
Another great sandwich is «The Fairfax» which includes: eggs, Egmont cheese, sautéed bell peppers, spinach and their house green goddess sauce on a 7– grain roll!
Oh and I can’t forget about their Griddled Potatoes, which takes potatoes to a whole other level. This magnificent side includes: potatoes, olive oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme and coriander, it’s to die for!
Definitely a place to check out or keep your eye out for their Food Truck! Either way, enjoy that delicious healthy breakfast you know your body is asking for!

Well, If you want to pay 20 bones for 2 breakfast sandwiches and a coffee this is your spot. Honestly, the dunkin sandwiches are just as food for half the price. Also, who the heck puts breakfast sandwiches on ciabatta bread? If want to be surrounded by hipsters, who are supported by their step dad while you order food, go to this place!

Great breakfast truck! The prices are a bit steep from $ 7 – 9 per sandwich but the sandwiches are delicious. Their English muffin is more like brioche style but super fluffy and buttery. Very flavorful sandwiches. Will definitely come back but not very often due to the price.

Versatility and transportability aside, I love a good egg sandwich in the morning. I may even declare it as one of my favorite breakfast items.
Since its appearance on the corner of La Salle and Adams on certain mornings, I’ve lazily stalked this truck for several weeks now. Lazily, because I spot the truck on the way to work, make a note, even go so far as to look up the menu, but somehow, I just never make it there. No, wait. My first attempt at procuring an Eastman sandwich for breakfast ended in failure, because they were not open yet and had to move due to lack of permitted parking spaces. So, since then, my pursuit has been lukewarm.
What is that adage about what you wish for? Well, maybe not quite that extreme. Maybe more like that objet you’ve admired for a long time, from afar, then finally come face to face. And it’s merely OK. Nothing remarkable. Luster gone in 3−2−1.
The coffee is damn good, though.

We did not eat here but I am giving them 5 stars based on customer service alone.
We recently had car troubles in front of the restaurant and our car wouldn’t start. We sat for about an hour, while waiting on our auto club to arrive.
While we sat, a really nice, sweet gal (who said that she worked at Eastman) offered assistance. I explained that we were waiting on the help to arrive. She then went to work and we never saw her again… WRONG!
Just a few minutes later, she came back with another employee and they brought us free cookies and coffee! I just thought that was REALLY nice, kind, and thoughtful. It really helped, despite our crummy morning.
They get an A+++ for excellent customer service… and the cookies were good too
Please go to Eastman and spend all of your money!
NOTE: this review was intended for the actual restaurant, not the food truck.

Can you all please come over to 225 N Michigan Ave? You would knock it out of the park in this building for breakfast. Toss in salads for lunch and you wouldn’t need your food truck. Just saying.
Had the doc this morning on a quick stop. Fresh roll, great crunchy bacon, eggs were fresh. OJ was really good. I would be a return customer if it was closer to my building, but sadly it’s not. I guess I have to follow the food truck and catch them when they are in my neck of the woods of the loop.
it’s sad I wish the east side of the loop had more mom and pop shops instead of corporate america places.

I come from a city where food trucks have been around for a while and it’s fairly new to Chicago I hear. I was incredibly impressed with Eastmanegg! Everyone is very kind, accommodating, and they have DELICIOUS iced coffee. Get the iced coffee! I also ordered the Scoundrel brekky sandwich and it is worth every penny of the 7 dollars I spent on it. It’s loaded with food… ham, egg, cheese and other things I forgot that was on it. Erin who works for them is incredibly awesome too! She helped my company coordinate an event with them and it went as smooth as it can get every second of the time. I will definitely be at this coffee and food truck often and I’m sure we’ll do business again! Thanks for a great first experience with you guys! I’m excited for the store to open!

I visited this food-​truck at Hyde Park’s food-​truck hub (57^th and Ellis). Beware, my ratings may have been effected by the weather. When I got to the food-​truck, there was a small line. I ended up ordering the scoundrel with a iced-​coffee and a bag of chips since it was the best deal, and I wanted to see as much as possible what they had to offer. As soon as I finished ordering, a storm starts, so I had to wait there in the rain, half sheltered half soaked. The expected wait time I was given was 10 – 15 minutes. When they finally called my name, I was happy to grab it and head back to my office to see what I got wet for. After I crossed the street, the rain stopped… Lucky me…
Anyways, onto the food. Egg, Turkey, and pretzel bun. What can go wrong with pretzel buns? This meal definitely did not. I enjoyed eating it even though the traditional bacon was not there. The iced-​coffee was a nice alternative to hot coffee that I usually get, but if all you want is caffeine, this will do. The bag of chips by Tim’s was definitely over-​priced.
For breakfast in Hyde Park, this is definitely one of the best options. For lunch in Hyde Park, there are better food truck options. This didn’t get my appetite wet enough to come back for lunch, but maybe for breakfast if I am ever near that area early enough.
After my initial review, I heard back from the manager of the truck asking for feedback. I appreciate the fact that they are actively looking for improvements.

You know you have a winner food truck when you’ve memorized their schedule and then created workout goals around it!
EE is outside my building (& my gym) typically Wed & Friday mornings. If i’ve worked out 2x before Wed morning I treat myself to an Eastman. Nice thick piece of juicy, perfectly salty ham. Thinly sliced cucumbers cut the fat and refresh your taste buds. And the sweet chili sauce gives a nice kick that brings it all together. I tried to get one of my VPs to try it, but it was just ‘too adventurous’ for him. He got The Doc and really enjoyed it. I’ve tried their other sandwiches but keep going back to the Eastman because there’s nothing else like it!
My only complaint is they typically leave at 10:30a. I wish they would stick around for lunch time! I work with offices across the world and that means my mornings are crammed with meetings because of the time difference. One morning while sitting in my meetings I just couldn’t get that perfectly crafted breakfast sandwich out of my head. I had to rush outside to get a sandwich in between meetings! Yes, I am a bit food crazy.

The line outside the truck, and the dreary weather that STILL is Spring (???) in Chicago forced me to finally stop and give Eastman a try.
Got the Doc, the reviews are true, tasty, white cheddar, bacon egg, sounds basic, but tasted delicious. Wait is about 7 to 10 minutes because your stuff is not sitting under a food lamp, they are making it for you. 6 – 7 bucks is a steal for what you are getting, and from a food truck no less.

Fantastic. Food trucks are the best thing… ever.
I like the concept that these guys have. Quality local-​ish products prepped in an easy-​to-​go package. We ordered the 3 breakfast sandwich offerings they had the day we went… all of them were tasty. The price was right for what we got-​I will certainly be following them on whatever social media outlet they use to convey their dining locations.
Tips: provide consumers with some sort of hot sauce or salt/​pepper to jazz up their eats. Not that its needed, but might be nice! mmmm. mmmm…good!
