Customer Reviews

"Eggheads Diner is an excellent local breakfast spot that lives up to its Eggcentric branding. Serving breakfast "all day" (7am-2pm), this locals diner has a comfort food vibe with a warm and personable staff. You will never finish your cup of coffee, as the attentive wait staff make sure it's warm and full. The kitchen sink omelette is truly that, full of everything and honestly all you could possibly need. Portions are generous, the chicken tenders standard, and they have ranch sauce, an essential, was good. The homefries are excellent, impressively crisp and tasty, however, I'd recommend the grits. Overall a good spot, but not a destination spot. If you're in the area and looking for a good breakfast option I'd recommend Eggheads."

"Cheerful service, fresh eggs, and strong coffee are great ingredients for a breakfast place. Eggheads didn't disappoint, serving up crispy hash and eggs among many other offerings, with a side of morning greetings across all the staff. Looking forward to going back when we're in town."

"Eggs, eggs, and more eggs, basically my staple diet, so this spot feels like heaven on a plate. This diner is hands-down the coolest place, full of charm and character. The retro American aesthetic is playful, nostalgic, and makes you feel like you've stepped straight into a movie scene. The food? Delicious, comforting, hearty, and oh-so-satisfying. Every bite is packed with flavour, and the menu is perfect whether you're craving breakfast, brunch, or an all-day egg fix. If you don't like eggs, no problem, just come for the buzzing vibes, the friendly atmosphere, and the central, convenient location. It's a spot that combines great energy, mouthwatering food, and a fun aesthetic, making it a must-visit for anyone who wants good eats with even better vibes."

Wait time for your breakfast is quick, and wow, you get a lot!! Better be hungry when you arrive! Nobody rushes you, just take your time and enjoy! Five stars just ain't enough for this kitchen."

"It's a family-operated diner open for breakfast and lunch. My elderly mother had a delicious cup of chicken and dumplings soup, while I had the meat loaf with gravy, mashed potatoes, and green beans. The service staff was very friendly. The food came out quickly piping hot, and it was delicious. Our waitress gave me hug when we were leaving. Strongly recommend a visit to Egghead's!"

- Josh D.

"The flavor of the food was average, but I think the kitchen sink omelet needed more egg to fully cover the inside ingredients of the omelet. It looked see through. First omelet I've ever had that was see through. Everything was cooked. They only offer home fries instead of hash browns. Pricing is competitive for breakfast. Great orange juice, good service amd friendly staff, and convenient location."

- Crystal B.

"I loved the service since they all would come and ask if we needed anything. This is great and made my family and I feel at home since we are from Washington DC. We thought the prices were reasonable and that the food was awesome. Their steak breakfast with eggs and what my dad asked (fried apples) was the best breakfast he ever had, his exact words. Their waffles with tenders were also the best."
