They Had Me at the Odd-Shaped Plates.

The wait wasn't long for a Saturday morning - but we did opt for seats at the bar which proved to be a better choice because it was like getting two waitresses. The staff was very attentive and friendly, including the bus boys - heck, the cook even came out when we were finished and asked us how everything was.
Usually there are only one or two fancy items on the menu to choose from. I would have to say that I had a hard time deciding on an entree because everything was something that I wanted to try. The orange butter sold me on Emily's Dream Pancakes and the food presentation was the stuff of magazine photos. Sides were a bit pricey and for two it came out to more like $15 a person (but I did get the $4 Black Eyed Orange Juice).
I think I'll become a regular here.

I go here almost every Sunday after mass...they have a rotating menu of brunch specials that is always great. The wait is always long on the weekend, but it is worth it. The servers are awesome. My coffee cup is never empty and they serve your meal pretty quickly after you order. I look forward to my Over Easy visit all week long :)

We ate at Over Easy for the first time today and were pleasantly surprised at how good the food was. Sassy Eggs were delicious with chorizo hash & guacamole as was the Apple Pancake (it actually rivals Walker Brothers!). We will definitely be back.

We went to Over Easy for the first time this weekend and loved it! Breakfast was fantastic and the service was great! We waited about 20 minutes to sit down, but waited outside and the time went by quickly especially with the comp coffe served on the sidewalk. Will return for sure!

Better than Average

There is something on the menu for everyone, the food presention is very creative with an average price tag. There are a numbers of poor resturants in Chicago and Over Easy is NOT one of them. It is a small resturant and this is why you have to wait in line on the weekends. The best time to go is at 2:30pm righ before they close or during the week.

I loved over easy. I first went there for the "fake" opening. The owner is my uncle's friend so i got a tour and everything. The food is awesome and everyone is so nice. I wish to become a chef and this is a great example for my place.

Not Great!
By Jon Davis from Ravenswood, December 4, 2007

Went to Over Easy last weekend and thought that the food was just fair and the price tag HUGE! Also, have to agree with the previous reviews that the waitstaff is just not up to par with a hip(ie expensive) breakfast place. Just a little rough around the edges.

The Worst of the Worst
By Betty from ravenswood, November 21, 2007

Don't waste your time waiting in line for this breakfast stop. Over easy is a glorified diner, and sub par at best. All hype and no delivery. I've had a far superior meal for much less money blocks from here.

Best of the Best
By Jen from Northside, November 14, 2007

I am shocked that there are ANY negative reviews for this place - escpecially for service. As a not-so-morning person, I can't tell you how much I appreciate getting a cup of coffee (and refills) right away, not to mention the fact that the service is ALWAYS spectacular, and the food can't be beat. If you're used to going to a "2 dollar a plate" breakfast restaurant, maybe you can't appreciate it, but Over Easy offers nothing but the best, from spectacular service to "sassy eggs" (a personal favorite!). I would definitely say this is by far my favorite breakfast/brunch joint in chicago.
