Everything we ordered was excellent. The MCJAM was rich without being heavy, great balance of sweet and savory, and the French toast bun actually works. The pancake was fluffy, buttery, and simple in the best way. The Mimosa Chicken and Waffles was the standout. Crispy chicken, light waffle, and the marmalade syrup tied it all together perfectly. Portions were solid, food came out hot, and we’d absolutely order all of this again.

I’ve been here 3x in the span of 5 years. The food is good, and inventive. I will say that I like their regular menu items more than their specials. The specials tend to be pretty sweet. Most recently, I had the “Fight for your right! To pudding!”–as suggested by the bartender. It is THE BEST thing I’ve ever eaten at E&J! The bread pudding was so soft and flavorful and the cheese was cheesin’ and stringy! The addition of the sausage gravy and sunny egg really completed the dish! I’ve never even noticed it on the menu before. So glad that the staff know what they’re talking about!
The atmosphere here is always fun and friendly. Glad they have a wait list where they’ll text you. Check online to see if you can join the wait from there! I will also mention that dogs aren’t allowed on their patio even on warmer times. It’s a health code violation–understandable. The pictures are from my most recent visit, followed by the food I’ve had there in previous years.

First time here. The pics tell the story. Eggs and Jam is a 90s themed brunch place with fabulous food and service. Everything we ordered was so delicious, with presentation like I’ve never seen. The “Love Island” waffle, which was the special, was absolutely exquisite. Other meals my group tried: egg rolls, goat cheese crumble, omelette, grapefruit, and pancakes- it was all amazing. Hats off to our server who took great care of us! Highly recommend!!

This place has an amazing atmosphere. It was so enjoyable to look at the menu and see all the throw back to the 90s. I ordered the breakfast egg rolls and they were phenomenal! I look forward to returning next time I am back in Des Moines.
