Let me start by saying: I like my poached eggs hard poached. I know, I know, I’m some kind of culinary weirdo, shunned by those of you who love your poached eggs snotty runny and gross. So when I order hard poached eggs at a restaurant and they get ‘em right, I’m instantly a happy grrrl. This place got ‘em right! Woot! Cute place, lots of country kitschy«charm» if you’re into that. Comfortable booth, attentive service(though I wouldn’t call her cheerful, I sure as heck wouldn’t be cheerful either on my feet all day bringing people their food), strong coffee, and bonus points for flavored coffee crack options, err, creamer, on the table. My skillet was tasty, and I love that they had a make your own option so I could customize to my picky heart’s content. The husband liked his fajita frittata that he said was excellent, and I also liked that I could have pancakes instead of toast with my skillet. Not fancy, but reasonably priced, tasty, and good service. We’d totally go back.

The menu has so much variety, everyone is guaranteed to find something they like. There were so many options for eggs Benedict. I had one with asparagus, which was not fresh. Otherwise ever thin tasted good. I had a slightly picky eater along, and the staff were very amiable when requesting changes. The atmosphere is casual and not inspiring, but fine for a quick meal.

Good food, standard coffee, great service, no wait time on a Saturday morning. I had an omelet with THEBEST side of fruit I’ve ever been given at a breakfast restaurant. Honeydew, cantaloupe, pineapple and oranges instead of your standard terrible and tiny fruit cup. My partner had a steak skillet and was impressed as well. Overall a great place for a low maintenance bite.

OMG their biscuits and gravy is the best!!! I can not find a better place for them. Also, their Cinnamon roll french toast is great! Sugar heart attack great!!! But, I could eat their biscuits and gravy everyday and not get sick of it. I just wish they were open for dinner… They close at 3pm :(. I’d love some breakfast for dinner!!!

Oh god the worst breakfast of my life! there was nothing nice about this place except for the service !! My crepes were horrid! the hollandaise sauce sour! My husbands omlette under cooked and my moms eggs Benedicts were over cooked ! The yolk did not run and that horrid sour hollandaise sauce put us off even more. then the food poisoning I suffered later was another story all together ! Not coming back !

Been here a bunch and it used to have excellent food and decent service. Today my husband and I came in with our children and were pretty disappointed. Service wasn’t great, I had to tell the waitress we were ready to order. It took kind of a long time for her to initially come around. I will say, it looked as if she were the only waiter dueing the shift, however, maybe 4 table were being waited on and I saw a few times the workers standing around. It even took a while to get our check. I usually order eggs benedict and this time, the egg was over cooked and the hollandaise sauce tasted odd. I don’t think we’ll be coming back.

Portions are large. Accommodating to large party. Food is delicious. I would return when I am in the area!

Pretty standard fare, no frills. The service was probably the best part of the experience. The eggs were okay, the bacon was a bit salty and the ambiance was run of the mill mediocre. My favorite sign in the place read, please feel free to smoke outside. I’m not from around here but I’m sure you could do better, then again, I’m sure you could do worse.

Been here twice so far. Both times the food was good. First time, the service was spot on. Second time, not so much. One shouldn’t have to wait 10 min between coffee fill ups. Other than that, no complaints. Inside is nice and we enjoy the décor. Definitely have a lot choices on the menu. Had a cheesy sandwich/bagel which was very good. If your in the area, it’s worth checking out.

Very nice breakfast. Wonderful coffee. We got the iron man omelet and Mediterranean omelet — both were really good. Very generous with the vegetables. Although the feta cheese was a bit sour for my taste. Our server was very good and kind. The place could use some upkeep. it is a bit run down. All in all a very nice place for a good breakfast.

Good solid breakfast food. I thought that the reviews where going to be true(slow service) but after about five minutes of no service the lady showed up and it was fast and efficient after that. Everything was cooked like I asked and was tasty.

My family and I have been to Egg’lectic a few times. Usually we have a wonderful experience, but this Sunday our experience was very sub-par… We went around 10:30am after the morning rush was over. They were not busy and it took the hostess forever to take our name down and get us a table. Then once we got to our table or waitress was just awful. No silverware, took forever to take our order, etc. I had the Popeye Frittata with egg whites and something was just a little off about it… Not my favorite. Now that I’ve been to Egg’lectic several times, I think I’m going to explore some other places in the area before going back…

Interesting choice of location for Egg’lectic Café’ but apparently it works. Located in an area people aren’t excited to go to, Egg’lectic draws enough crowds to almost fill the entire parking lot which has a decent amount of spaces. The inside looks and feels like your local breakfast stop. This is the kind of café that already has empty mugs sitting on your table while a waiter walks up with a pot of coffee assuming you want a pour. I’ve tried multiple menu items and all were satisfying. If you show up for lunch, give the BLT a shot, trust me. Once you’re finished, you take your bill up to the cash register on your way out. Overall, it’s a homey place to dine with solid food that’s sure to fill you up.

Expected awesomeness after the reviews on here. Took my five year old and we went early so they were not busy at all. I ordered a veggie omelet that was really good. It had different veggies than you usually fine(and plenty of them), and the cheese was on top(also different). However, the reason we will likely not be back here is because they charged FIVEDOLLARSANDFIFTYCENTS for two scrambled eggs for my son. He tends to order eggs a la cart like this, so I am not unfamiliar with paying that way. But I have never been some place that charges me this much(even with places that had an up charge for eggs during the price increase). I could have bought a dozen organic, free range eggs for this price. I was also disappointed to be hungry a few hours later, since when I usually eat breakfast like this I am set until a late lunch.

Just came back from here; went in really hungry and came back really full. It was just another saturday morning, and I din’t wanna cook and my husband and I have always been wanting to try this place. The food was good, pretty standard and as good as any other good brunch places around. I got a california omlette and my husband ordered a chipotle chicken skillet, both were good. My omlette was just perfect, and so was the skillet. The only negative I have is that the service was a bit slow, and it looked a bit understaffed. Otherwise everything was excellent. I would definitely go back and recommend this place to others too.

Pleasantly surprised by this Wildberry alternative. Thanks, Unilocal for steering us here where we were eating by the time we would have been seated at the trendy place less than 2 miles away. Food and service were a solid 4 stars. We cleaned our plates but we weren’t wowed. We were hungry coming in and left pleasantly full. Our waitress was apologetic for our wait, but she was hustling the whole time. They could have has another waitress on the floor, but the busboys helped pick up the slack. See my photos and captions for what we ate. Stand outs are the Irish Benny and the Sausage Gravy. We would come back if we want a quick meal in the area.

I recommend coming around 1PM, when the rush has died down. The restaurant has plenty of options, almost overwhelmingly so, and the service is very good. I ordered an omelet for about $ 10, and was offered a choice of fruit or hash browns on the side. In addition to this, they offered toast or pancakes with my order — a full meal for under $ 15(I ordered coffee as well). I ended up packing about 50% of the food. The food is very well made, the atmosphere is friendly, and in an otherwise drab area, the restaurant is a nice place to stop by.

This was a very pleasant experience. Even though we went on a Sunday morning at 10:30, we were sat right away. The omelet I ordered was huge and the hash browns, plenty. Instead of orange juice, I opted for fresh orange slices. My waiter was very accommodating. It was getting busier as we left. Suppose we just had good timing.

Nice little breakfast spot. Had the California Omelette. It was well made with all the veggies grilled to perfection. Oh and lots of avocado too. Atmosphere was alright, felt a bit cramped but still warm and pleasant. Hot chocolate was okay. maybe a bit too sweet. Good place overall.

It wasn’t bad, it wasn’t great — it did the trick. We tried to get into Wildberry, but after being told it would be 45 minutes, we got on Unilocal and looked up breakfast restaurants in the area. We wound up here. It’s a total senior hangout. Quiet, a little run down, but the staff was very friendly, coffee was good and as far as the food goes, it was good. Best thing for me was the biscuit in the biscuits and gravy I had. It was really light and fluffy and melted in my mouth, came with diced potatoes. What kind of disappointed me was that the food was not hot. It was warm — if that much. This is a real turn off for me. Luckily the flavors were there. Would I return? maybe for those biscuits. Otherwise, I will keep looking for other options for Wildberry in the area.
