The Wife and I had brunch at noon on a Thursday. This was our first time here. The location is fairly new (opened about 6 months ago per our server).
We liked the high ceilings and bright interior with lots of large windows. We were seated promptly as there were plenty of open tables.
Our server (Laura) was great. We asked to be moved as there was a bit of draft at our first table near the restrooms and were quickly moved to a booth.
We shared the “Eggstravaganza” and Laura brought us out a second plate even before our order arrived (love that ❤️). Also, my wife ordered a peach mimosa which didn’t have any flavor of peach, Laura promptly took it back and our replacement was much better.
We both thought the dish was very good and especially liked the Lyonnaise style potatoes and the large bottle of hot maple syrup for our French toast. The portion was perfect for the both of us.
Will have to go back to try some other dishes!

We had an amazing brunch at Eggspectation! We ordered a savory crepe and a waffle, and both were absolutely delicious — fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked.
What truly made this visit unforgettable was our server, Montserrat. She is hands down the best server I have ever had. So sweet, warm, attentive, and genuinely kind — she made us feel welcomed from the moment we sat down. Her positive energy and care elevated the entire experience.
Great food, wonderful atmosphere, and exceptional service. We will definitely be coming back — especially because of Montserrat!

My first time trying Eggspectation. Very cute and upscale. They serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner all day, with an alcohol-forward brunch culture. I ordered the chicken pasta for dinner along with a refreshing mint-cucumber smoothie. Overall, the restaurant had a clean, sleek, and trendy social atmosphere. I’d definitely come back.

My husband and I went to Eggspectation Burtonsville for brunch and overall had a good experience. The biggest downside is the wait — it seems to always be about an hour, and they don’t take reservations or offer a call-ahead system. That can be a little frustrating since there isn’t much to do nearby while you wait. Luckily, we were able to grab seats at the bar, so we didn’t end up waiting the full hour.
I ordered the mimosa flight, which was definitely worth it. For food, we went with brunch classics — the chicken & waffle and the shrimp & grits. The chicken & waffle was a generous portion, though the chicken could’ve used a bit more seasoning (I’d recommend asking for Tabasco when you order). The shrimp & grits, on the other hand, were absolutely delicious.
I went back two weeks later with my sister for Sunday brunch to give the spot another try. Same situation with the wait — about an hour seems to be the standard. This time we were seated near the bathroom/kitchen, which wasn’t ideal, though thankfully there weren’t any funky smells. We started with the Gooey Goosebread, which is very reminiscent of monkey bread and sooo good. For entrées, we tried the breakfast taco trio (solid choice, but note that the chorizo has some spice) and the Grand Marnier French toast. The French toast was fantastic — portions are huge, with three thick slices that are definitely shareable.
All in all, Eggspectation Burtonsville serves tasty brunch food with generous portions, but the long wait and lack of reservations make it a “plan ahead” kind of spot.

I have been twice now and they are extremely busy on weekends. Today for breakfast, Gabby was especially friendly and served with a smile. There really isn’t anything on the menu that isn’t good but the Southwest Sunrise with a side of toast was perfect

I visited Eggspectation at 11:30 this morning and was genuinely happy with the whole experience. The hostesses greeted us so kindly, which immediately made my son and me feel welcome. We were seated right away, and the restaurant was clean and well organised.
Lavanda truly made the visit memorable. She was pleasant, professional, and very knowledgeable about the menu, helping us choose great drinks and meals. She checked in consistently to make sure we had everything we needed.
Because of her, the experience felt special and enjoyable. I’m already looking forward to coming back.

The place looked nice and tidy. Hostess’ were super friendly! Server was on top of everything, checked in with us, gave us additional time to decide what to order. Food tasted great! It even tasted fresh and not out of a can or frozen. I wouldn’t order their coffee again but I can’t complain. I would love to go back for lunch/dinner.

So happy to have Eggspectation back in the area as a part of the revitalized Burtonsville Crossing shopping center. The decor is modern & fun with comfortable table seating and private booths. It appears there will also be an outdoor seating area available. I usually get breakfast, which is always fabulous, but this was my first dinner visit and the meal was great! I didn’t realize they had so many good options for lunch/dinner. The staff were friendly and attentive, and it was nice for the manager to check-in with each table. There is a small back room for a private event, and the bar looks like a good spot for happy hour. Lots of drink options, including great mimosas, but unfortunately no beer on tap. I’ll definitely be back!

The food and service at this new restaurant are quite good, but it’s worth noting that they’re still learning the ropes. The prices can be a bit steep, but for some of the meals, it’s worth it. My spouse and I have been there three times now. Our first two visits were with Cici, who was a very sweet and kind server. However, my last visit was with a server who barely checked in with us and seemed visibly unhappy. It might just be personalities, but that was my experience.
Their menu is very creative. On our most recent visit, we ordered the Bene-Ducked and Fried Chicken & Waffle. The duck was pleasantly surprising, not as greasy as the meat can be, but it could use more flavor. It sat on top of an untoasted croissant, which would have been better if it was a bit toasty. The duck, poached eggs, and hollandaise sauce together are already soft, so I think it needed some crunch somewhere. The poached eggs were a tad overcooked and not as runny as I would have liked. The side salad was great, considering the dressing on the same salad during my first visit was a bit too lemony for my taste. The Bene-Ducked was filling but lacked flavor and wasn’t worth the $23 price. Still, it was a fun experience to try.
The Fried Chicken & Waffle was much better. It was juicy, crispy, and flavorful. The waffle had a nice crunch, and it was soft on the inside. Sweet and savory fans will love this dish. I would definitely get it again. The chicken was very tender and seasoned well, and combined with the waffle, you’ll be stuffed and in a happy food coma by your last bite.
Eggspectation, known for its eggs, is also famous for its Lyonnaise-style potatoes. Served as a side with most of their menu items, including benedicts and omelettes, these potatoes are supposed to be crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. However, my experience has been disappointing. Each time I’ve tried them, they’ve been too soft and lacking in that crisp texture. My spouse, on the other hand, enjoys them that way, and some may as well.
The Eggsuberant ($18) comes with two pancakes, two eggs any style, and your choice of bacon, ham, or Fontanini sausage. It’s also served with Lyonnaise-style potatoes. The pancakes had a surprisingly lemony aftertaste, which my spouse enjoyed, but I wasn’t a big fan. I’ve seen some reviewers mention that the bacon tastes artificial, but I don’t think that’s entirely accurate. If I were to order this dish again, I would either opt for substituting the pancakes with waffles or try the french toast instead.
My favorite dish so far is the Eggspectation Crêpe ($15). I’m a fan of a combination of ham and cheese, and adding eggs and hollandaise sauce makes it even better. The crepe is incredibly light, and everything melts together – so delicious!
Overall, Eggspectation has a great atmosphere and is very tidy. However, expect some slow service since they’re a new restaurant and are busy during peak breakfast and brunch hours. Some menu items are a miss (sorry, potatoes and Bene-Ducked), while others truly exceed your eggspectations like the Fried Chicken & Waffle and Eggspectation Crêpe.
