    This place is the best. Omelettes are fantastic (and big!) plus it's BYOB. Line moves fast so don't get scared by the wait for a table.

    Must try the smoothies. Don't forget to mention no sugar! It's quite sweet without the added sugar. I had the mixed berry. You may skip the latte/ cappuccino, quantity/ quality: price is amiss.

    Download the @Freebie_App to see if your social score nets you a free Eggy's burger or Eggy's milkshake. I got both and didnt pay a dime! Gratuity isn't included so tip your server!! #FreebieApp

    Irish skillet was dope. Great cheddar and corn beef hash mix. Absolutely get fresh squeeze juice. Amazing grapefruit and OJ and makes mimosas next level.

    Eggy’s cooks its peppery patties to medium-well, but they remained plenty juicy. It's tough to hold together, with pastrami and a fried egg, but don't fill yourself up and ignore the hand-cut fries. Read more

    I love the patty melt and they have the best fries in Chicago. The turkey club is also amazing. Pancakes are great too. You really can't go wrong.

    One of my favorite little lunch spots in the Loop, whether taking a break from a bike ride or meeting the other half near work. Never a bad meal here, definitely worth checking out.

    Seriously the best breakfast I think I've ever had. Biscuit Benedict with potatoes and side of bacon. So very good! Everything that I saw there looked amazing.

    Chicago's little breakfast secret. Tucked inside of River West Eggy's is a nice, warm spot for great food and never a long line. Try the chilaquiles for a good time

    My goto spot for breakfast when staying in the Loop. It beats the hotels easily. It can be hard to find but worth the effort.

    Nice hidden place in the residential area in front of Millennium park. Good prices and have beer/cocktails as well.

    Don't get Green Eggs and Ham if you don't want a delicious and somewhat unconventional breakfast. Their Benny is also great if you want an unconventional take on something more conventional.

    Satisfy your breakfast cravings (all day long) with its breakfast sandwich, stacked with fiercely sweet-tart pickled onions, crisp shards of glazed bacon and a slather of herb aioli. Read more

    The Eggy's Benedict was killer. Maple glazed pulled pork on a mini waffle, with crispy potatoes. Don't forget a milkshake!

    Generally it is a cool place to have breakfast, the Verb Omelette was really good but a bit oily to me, better share with your friends coz the dish is kinda heavy.

    Amazing breakfast! Great service! Park in the garage for free and stop into the grocery store- buy something and they validate your parking!

    The Florentine crepes were amazing! Also worth trying the American Skillet if you want to go traditional American!

    Solid brunch spot with plenty of options and robust menu. Bread they serve as a side is memorable (i.e. not your average toast)

    Their French toast was amazing, and so were the potatoes that come with any egg specialty.

    Sit at the breakfast bar in the back if you are a food voyeur. Watching the food come out of the kitchen will leave you drooling.

    The green eggs and ham are okay. I had to add Sriracha chili sauce to give it some kick. The people I was with recommended the Reuben.

    Free Wifi is a bonus, but let them know if you are waiting outside! Plus don't sit at the table by the door - drafty.
