Love this brunch spot and the Sassy Eggs. The waits are usually long and the place is pretty small, but the payoff is an amazing meal. The staff is very friendly and knowledgable too.
Arielle IndiaJune 8, 2016Simply an essential breakfast/brunch spot. Thoughtful menu options and wonderful, attentive staff. I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the sassy eggs; so go on in for a thoroughly enjoyable b/f. 10/10
Chicago TribuneNovember 7, 2017Open for breakfast, lunch and brunch Tuesday through Sunday, Over Easy Cafe is an endearing eatery in Ravenswood that's home to Chicago's crown jewel of egg dishes: the signature Sassy Eggs ($12). Read more
XinnieAugust 19, 2017The sassy egg is indeed delicious as most people said. My bf tried the Damen Ave Omelette, that's yummy too. Service is wonderful. I'll have to come back next time to try their sweet stuff.
CzarinaJanuary 29, 2015People kept posting pictures of the Sassy Eggs, so I had to try it out. I normally ask for a doggy bag, but not this time. I ate the whole thing and it was delicious! Definitely recommend it!- Alicja PsiukJanuary 28, 2015Damen Avenue Omelet is to die for. Line is always pretty long but it's so worth it. It's so, so lovely inside and people working there are EXTRA nice and they usually remember your names
Erik DavisNovember 2, 2014My favorite breakfast place. Gwen, the head server is co-owner with the chef. Together they have the best food and best service with a smile! Your coffee and water are attended to and food-awesome!
David BurgosSeptember 19, 2013Best breakfast spot in Chicago hands down. The ambiance is amazing service super friendly and food is orgasmic. Get the Sassy Eggs to die for
Tina CMarch 26, 2010Go early on the weekend to avoid crowd (before 10am) - even if forced to wait, tables turnover fast. Coffee while you wait makes the cold semi-tolerable. I like the hostess, but too cheery for some.
Yolanda HamptonNovember 18, 2016Everything here was excellent. No matter what wait, it's worth it. Any of the French toast or the specials
- Tina WeidenhammerAugust 22, 2014I've lived next door for 2 years. Finally went and it was worth the hour wait. Rich flavors, and filling, and I dig they have a weekly rotating section on their menu. #leapliving
Ricky SherrillMay 8, 2015The Bacon Pancakes and the Sassy Eggs are my goto items every time. One of the best breakfast spots in Chicago.
Mike NicklesSeptember 22, 2013Be prepared to wait, but grab a coffee at Dolce next door and chillax! Make sure it's a nice day and enjoy the fresh air.
Michael VillarApril 17, 2012Amazing food! The sassy eggs were a great choice! Michael and the rest of the wait staff were great, never had to ask for anything.
if you cam stand the wait, which you should do, com on a Sunday for their sunday-only special dishes. the chilaquiles is one of my favorite Sunday only dish along with the chiles rellenos
Sheila ChengAugust 13, 2010Over Easy is the best breakfast place you will EVER go to. Savory? Go with the Sassy Eggs. Sweet? Go for the banana spiked french toast. The servers there are really nice too.
Ian WesterferFebruary 11, 2011Never disappoints - my favorite breakfast place. Specials are always interesting and inspired; follow up with the Bananas Foster French Toast - it's sweet breakfast heaven.
Love their famous Sassy Eggs but I also enjoy their french toast specials!
Najuma FultonMay 15, 2013This place made my Chicago experience all the better. The easy French Toast and Sassy eggs are the bomb
Matt MonroeJuly 13, 2011One of our favorite spots. Today they wouldn't give my pregnant and now gluten intolerant wife another option instead of toast (which comes with all breakfasts).
Very kid friendly and accommodating. Open at 7 am on weekends. Service is amazing
Holly ChojnackiAugust 25, 2013Such a great spot! Amazing service, really great prices. Everything is amazing.- No matter what time of day you come, you will wait on line. Deal with it cuz it's worth it.
- Very sweet and kind waitress. Love coming back. Food is delicious as well.
Everything is fantastic here. Service, food out of this world.- Be here before 2:15 PM because they stop letting people in a minute after. Otherwise delicious food.
Jon DamaschkeMarch 27, 2010Overeasy is insanely fast. They have excellent food and friendly service. One of my favorite places to eat in Chicago.
AlexandraSeptember 30, 2012Sassy Eggs are DELISH but the Bacon Pancakes are good too...It's a win win!!!
Rachel HillisJuly 24, 2012Sassy eggs are incredible; but coming from a small person- have a big appetite or split it.
joey mccustyAugust 27, 2012I love how they leave coffee outside so passer- bys can refill their cups! How neighborly.
Get the sassy eggs, you won't be disappointed. So good! Omelets are great too!
Mariana SanabriaJune 11, 2010the sassy eggs will forever have a place in my heart! no, i'm not referring to cardiac arrest although this glorious chorizo, pepper, potato, egg and salsa combo is dangerously good.
Weekends are too busy! Go here during the week on a random day off from work. I always, always get the sassy eggs. And when someone asks me how they are, I say "sassy" and that's how I like 'em.
The Sassy Eggs was probably one of the best breakfasts I've ever had.
Elizabeth RobbinsApril 27, 2013They have coffee on tap outside while you wait for your table. Score!
Weekends you will wait at least 40 mins, weekdays are the best time to go!- If you don't mind waiting in line, well and the too-eager service, help yourself.
Small area , Big flavors. Quick and pleasant service!
Dee EJanuary 16, 2011Sassy eggs come with veggie chorizo so we vegetarians don't need to substitute for the red potato hash.
