Reviews for eggspectation in Newark, DE
Oh we wanted to go here because it looked like the most unique breakfast lunch spot in the region. we were not disappointed as... the flavors are outstanding. everything served had A wow factor. my wife had one of the versions of French toast which theflavors and preparation were perfect the maple syrup added the ideal topping it was not artificial. I went for the crapesChesapeake The flavors were very well done the crêpe was cooked to perfection. My only comment to the restaurant would be theytold us it was going to be a certain length of wait and they were about seven minutes over what they estimated as a wait time. Iwaited about an hour and 10 minutes. The only reason I comment about the wait was because another couple sitting in the lobbyenclosure next to us stated they were number 13 in line when I looked and saw we were number 12 and the woman said that sheasked the Desk to just slide them in because they were there sitting there, it was moments later that they got a table, whilewe waited another 20+ minutes it just didn?t make sense Read more
This is my 1st time here & I like the chill and relaxed atmosphere. The food is delicious and the Nutella hot chocolate was... good. The waitress we had, was friendly & nice to us. Hope to come back again. Read more
Hailey and Allison provided amazing service. The food and drinks were delicious. The grapefruit juice is freshly hand squeezed... and was refreshing. The frittata, pancakes and grits were amazing. I enjoyed breakfast at this place. ???? Edit: The breakfastpoutine (not pictured) ordered to-go looked miserable. :( The price paid for that plate was NOT worth it. I was NOT eggspectingsuch little eggs for the breakfast poutine. They probably cracked one egg, dashed some cheese, and scattered sliced potatoes.Please leave poutine for the people in Montreal, Canada. This place should remove poutine from their menu. ????

A very solid brunch restaurant. Plenty of food and drink offerings to pick through when making your decisions. The staff is... friendly and personable, with a fair amount of attentiveness and responsiveness from servers. We got brunch cocktails, theStrawberry Mimosa and the Bay Bloody Mary. The strawberry mimosa swaps orange juice with a strawberry puree, which is nicelyfresh, but does unfortunately bring the temperature of the beverage a bit higher than a mimosa is normally served. The BayBloody Mary, is a variation of a Bloody Caesar with an Old Bay rim and is served with a ton of ice so I'd recommend asking for"no ice" or "low ice" otherwise your drink is 75% ice, 25% Bloody Mary. It is rather mild in terms of spice, and the ice ratioisn't unusual for cocktails. Both are good, but not great. For our meal we did the Breakfast Poutine and the Cajun Shrimp andGrits. Both were solid meals. The poutine isn't really a poutine, it is more what would normally be called a breakfast skillet,but still good. It looks like a small portion, but it is a heavy meal. The Shrimp and Grits kind of missed the Cajun aspect ofthe dish, as it was extremely mild, but still enjoyable. Not perfect, but worth a visit. We will be coming here again. Read more
First time visit, eating here. First thing we noticed were the prices on the menu. Expensive compared to other eateries in the... area. Talk to our server (Ed) and he said, wait and see if the experience was also worth the price. We had the EGGSTRAVAGANZAoff the menu. $16 per person. Cheese was $3 per slice ????. They ask you if you want cheese, what type but, they don't tell youit's extra. $45 was the total price of two meals, including a cup of coffee and hot chocolate. The meal WAS good. We did enjoyourselves and our server helped make our time and meal a wonderful experience. Even though the prices were high, the restauranthad more eat-in customers than any other restaurants we've been in the past two weeks. Would I recommend eating there, YES????????. Is it expensive, Yes. Was the food good, YES. I also believe, you will have a very pleasant and tasteful experience ifyou dine there ????. Maybe one of the best kept secret diners around. Expensive $$$ but, worth it for the dining experience. Read more
Great restaurant for the family but also caters nicely to the adult palate. The full bar provides mimosas of many flavors to... accompany your meal. I had their Mexican twist on poutine which is pictured and it was delicious. The amount of egg forwardfoods with a variety of flavors is unmatched. You can get dishes that are sweet or savory. Be prepared to wait and it?s mostlikely due to labor shortages. I went on a Thursday morning at 11 and had to wait 20 minutes. I can?t imagine what a weekendbrunch wait would be. It?s worth it though, great food and reasonable prices. Read more
Went here for an early dinner family celebration and it was a great experience! Food - I know it?s a breakfast and brunch spot,... but I went during dinner and it was tasty for sure. My only issue was I wanted more from my crab cakes dish from a portion size.I would pay a bit more too for that satisfaction. My family liked the burgers and eggs dishes. Vibe/Atmosphere - I got aindustrial and modern vibe. If you go after 3pm the breakfast crowd dies down and you can easily get breakfast for dinner oractually dinner food for dinner. Restrooms - plenty of them, they were clean, and has a cool bathroom faucet too. I would goback for sure, but next time I would try their breakfast food. I say give this place a try! Read more
I've gone here twice and can say that both times were beyond expectations! The food is amazingly made and you can tell they use... fresh ingredients. They also don't skimp on the portions for each dish. And the servers are so nice and very attentive! I 100%recommend going to Eggspectaion Read more
