From our beloved regulars
Egg Harbor Barrington is a family favorite! Whenever we’re in town, we like to come here for Sunday breakfast! I love the scrambles and the omelettes. Their english muffins w/ homemade jam are magical. The service is always very quick, even though you may have to wait for a table at peak times. Love Egg Harbor!!
After many years of driving past when they were closed after 2 PM, we decided to wake up early and try it out. Both of our breakfasts were packed with so much flavor. I got the Barrington Eggs Benedict and my partner got the Aztec Omelette. We devoured our food in a matter of minutes. Nothing else was needed to add to the dish, it was delicious as is. Their famous strawberry orange juice was also delectable as it had pieces of strawberries mixed in. The service was great and fast. We are so glad that we decided to finally go!
We visited the Barrington location this week and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. First of all, they have delicious espresso based drinks! And their regular coffee and iced teas are great too. We were warmly greeted and shown to a table by a friendly hostess (kudos to Egg Harbor for employing people in the front of the house who some would consider "disabled"). Our server was friendly and very efficient. I had the lobster and seafood omelet that was filled with chunks of seafood and very delicious. My husband had the San Antonio skillet and he loved it! Very spicy and flavorful. We both loved the house made jam on our English muffins. I read another review that said the portions are small and I must disagree - we both took boxes home. Great experience!
The staff are wonderful! I’m a regular and the food is always good. I have my favorites of course but always love trying new menu items as well. Egg harbor is my go to place for a great meal!
This is one of my favorite breakfast places. On my most recent visit, I ordered the ultimate skillet and one of their current specials, lemon ricotta french toast. The skillet was delicious and the English muffin and house made jam that it comes with equally scrumptious. Truly, I wish I could have that muffin and jam every morning. The french toast was pretty good but I kinda thought it would be better than it was. Service is great and I recommend you join the online wait-list before you reach the restaurant because there is ALWAYS a wait since it is a well loved place. They turn tables over very quickly so the wait isn't long.
We stopped in for brunch on a Friday afternoon and were pleasantly surprised to see that the restaurant was pretty much full on one end. It was quite happening with people of different age groups and everyone was having a good time. We ordered 1. Avocado chicken grill sandwich (8.5/10) 2. Gregg's chili and eggs omelet (6.5/10) The bread was toasted to perfection on the sandwich which I enjoyed throughly. Potato fries were okay. Chili and omelet was fine, we should have taken other skillet / omelet. Would certainly visit again. Note for management: kindly pay attention to the water glasses. They do smell.
We recently visited this charming spot and were blown away by the quality of both the food and service. Our experience began with a cup of coffee that arrived in the most amazing coffee cups. Not only was the presentation delightful, but the coffee itself was rich, smooth, and exactly what we needed to kickstart our morning. For breakfast, we ordered the Eggs Benedict, and it was simply fantastic. The perfectly poached eggs were accompanied by crispy, golden-brown potatoes that added the right amount of texture to the dish. Next up was the Veggie Skillet Garden Scrambler, a fresh and flavorful combination of vegetables cooked to perfection. Each bite was packed with garden-fresh taste and seasoned just right, making it an excellent option for vegetarians like us. To top it all off, we indulged in the Blackberry and Banana Pancakes, and they were heavenly. The pancakes were light, fluffy, and paired wonderfully with the fresh blackberries and bananas. It was the perfect mix of sweet and tart, and we couldn’t have asked for a better ending to our meal. Overall, the entire breakfast experience was superb. The attention to detail in the food presentation, combined with the cozy ambiance and friendly staff, made our visit memorable. If you're looking for a place that offers a diverse menu and great vegetarian options, this is it. We will definitely be coming back.
First time here! Friendly staff! Great food! They didn’t rush us. I would highly recommend.
If you are in the area or even kind of far away, I highly recommend you stop in here for breakfast. I’ve been here many times and they never ever disappoint. The food is amazing and is always served fast and hot. The service however is where they really shine. Lilly is the absolute bestest. Super friendly and extremely attentive. She really made us feel like we were appreciated for being there. In an area full of options for breakfast, I will continue to visit Egg Harbor and will ALWAYS ask to be in Lilly’s section. Cheers!!
Egg Harbor Cafe in the heart of downtown Barrington was a wonderful place for us to meet and have breakfast. The staff here were very helpful and the menu is varied and unique. They have lots of specialty coffee drinks as well as loose leaf tea. We had the pot roast skillet as well as the gluten-free skillet and gluten-free cinnamon roll and all our food was served hot and fresh. We appreciate that they have a gluten-free menu and many gluten-free items. Erica was our server and she was friendly and accommodating. We loved l all the food that we got here and we definitely will be back!
