Egg & I Pancake and Waffle House

This place is one of the best breakfast spots I've ever been to and I'll tell you why. First, even when there are waits to be seated (after 8:30am), they're incredibly fast at seating us. Second, their food. The home fries are the best I've had in a long time. Perfectly seasoned. Everyone loved their food, including the baby. Third, the team spirit. We had a different person each of the 5 days we went here. I want to mention Omar because he made sure we were good on drinks and even danced with our 2 year old back to the table. This kind of service doesn't exist in this world often. This didn't detract from the absolutely phenomenal effort that the whole team puts in. Fourth, anyone with a "be nice" motto is great company. This place is a winner and we'll be back every time we're in the are

Our late breakfast visit to The Egg and I, Pancake and Waffle House in Ogunquit, Maine, yielded a pleasantly surprising experience. This immaculately clean restaurant boasts a unique atmosphere that blends elements of a diner and pancake house. The menu is well-structured, offering a wide range of options to cater to diverse tastes, all at reasonable prices. Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted with a smile, and our server, whose name we unfortunately didn't catch, delivered exceptional service that was both prompt and friendly. We opted for the Irish Benedict and Country Fried Steak, both of which were served hot and were incredibly delicious. The Country Fried Steak is particularly noteworthy, featuring a flavorful Country Sausage Gravy and tender steak. For those seeking a classic, reas

Nestled right on Route 1, The Egg & I is exactly what you hope for in a classic Maine breakfast joint. We stopped in during the off-season, right at 7 AM, and had the place to ourselves — though by 8, it was already starting to fill up. I can only imagine how lively it gets during the peak May–August rush. The menu has all the breakfast staples you could want — hearty portions, fresh coffee, and that old-school diner charm. The space is super clean, the staff are welcoming, and there's plenty of parking, which is always a plus along Route 1. If you're looking for a no-fuss, satisfying start to your day in coastal Maine, The Egg & I delivers.

I mean it's a normal breakfast place. The prices are higher since it's a heavy tourist area. Nothing special. Of course the service was okay. It's just our waiter was not friendly or engaging and it actually felt like I was bothering him when I would ask him a question. So I just went up to the hostess and asked her my questions. I even asked the waiter if he was having a bad day and he's like I'm just here to do my job. I'm not like the other waiters, but I don't make mistakes and you'll get your food right. I don't know why he's in public service. If you don't like people. When my husband and I vacation, we like to leave large tips at certain places just because or for extraordinary service. But it's just something that we've always done. Every time we go on vacation. We like to do it. W

A solid breakfast spot! One of our favorite breakfasts that we had on our vacation to Ogunquit. They got us seated quickly and server was very friendly and attentive. Best corned beef hash of the trip, and I loved the thick homemade whipped cream on top of my waffle. My husband enjoyed his lobster eggs benny. A classic diner feel. We would definitely return!
