    Line seemed a lot shorter than the shop on Kalakaua so took a chance here. Solid breakfast. Nothing spectacular that makes you crave coming back every meal, but good quality food. Waited for about 30 minutes but at least there is a drink bar downstairs where i ordered an iced coffee. Nothing special about this drink - poured from a pitcher in their refrigerator. It tasted watered down. Spinach, bacon, mushroom omelette was the special this day. Nice portion and i upgraded to blueberry pancakes. Large fluffy omelette filled with fresh ingredients was big enough to share. The blueberry pancakes were not huge by any means, maybe 6" diameter? But thick and full of blueberries. Vienna sausage and eggs with rice. I should have known better than to order a local favorite at this place. I prefer the sausages a bit more burnt, and by not burning them enough, just didn't have the taste i'm looking for. Great service and nice views from the balcony.

    We couldn't find the breakfast spot we wanted and drove by this eatery several times while in Hawaii so we decided to stop and taste of its offerings. The wait was about 30 minutes...no big deal! The location was ideal...close to our hotel and the food was awesome. I had the three omelette special with the Portuguese sausage, cheese and green onions with a short stack of Macadamian Nut pancakes. The omelette was a little runny but still great. My wife had the bacon and eggs plate with strawberries and whipped cream. She enjoyed her food too. Worth the wait and the service was on point. I spent over$100.00 but there are six people in my family: 2 adults and four growing kids who can eat.

    Ok... I just left Eggs n Things and it was absolutely horrid!! I shared an omelette with my 9 yr old and it tasted like it was old and reheated over and over. Nothing about it was good! I wouldn't have given it even 1 star, but I'll give it for a 5% kamaaina discount. The service wasn't too good either. Our waitress was friendly, but everyone else was terrible. They put us outside seating at a bar type of table. When everyone else after us, got a table on the inside. I would not waste my money or time going there again.

    Stumbled upon Eggs and Things on my last day in Honolulu. I was excited to try and really liked the reviews. Unfortunately my experience was not awesome. The wait was the best part, quoted 20 and was sat within 10. We were sat and then immediately asked if we were ready to order, hadn't even read the menu, so no. After a prolonged wait, the server finally returned. I ordered Portuguese omelet and my wife ordered the Spam and eggs with pancakes. I asked my server to add onion and cheese to my omelet, and was just told ok. we waited 30 mins and finally my toast arrived, yes just the toast. A few min later out comes the spam and eggs and pancakes: still no omelet. Out comes the omelet, which looks nice. Included were the cheese and onion, hooray! Now the pancakes rocked, they have that down and the coconut syrup is to die for. However,that wasn't my meal, so I had to eat mine. Ready with my now cold soggy buttered toast, if served fresh would have been great. The eggs were flat and it was more like a crepe than omelet. We get the bill and 2.25 for onions 1.95 for cheese?!?! I was not told this, I spoke to front manager or host and was told "did the server not tell you!?" No and he said he would make sure in the future he did. That didn't help me and he was extremely in apologetic. The food is just ok and service horrible. Pick a place that respects you and food quality.

    My friend Maurice and I had breakfast here yesterday, and we thought it was pretty good. I had to try the Macadamia Nut Pancakes, so I ordered that as well as an Omelet. Great guava juice, fabulous breakfast and no fuss and easy going servers. Just the ticket if you want a catch up with a friend with minimal trouble. But be warned there's usually a line here, so get a table early or expect to be standing for a long time.

    I have been here many times and I have always had great food. The place is not fancy there is usually a pretty long wait (because it's a popular tourist spot) but great tasty food (that's why I can only give the restaurant 3 stars). They have odd hours: 6 am-2pm then 4pm-10pm. When you arrive you get a pager that will buzz when there is a table ready for you. The hostess tell you to go up the side stairs when the buzzer goes off. At the top of the stairs someone will show you to a table, either inside the restaurant or on the thin bar-like patio. The patio overlooks the street and post office. The breakfast here is simple and delicious. The plantation iced tea is my favorite (regular iced tea with pineapple juice). There is a choice between 3 different breakfast syrups: maple, boysenberry or coconut. The coconut is the best! I have tried both the pancakes and sweet bread french toast and both are amazing. You can't go wrong with breakfast. I recommend this restaurant only if you have plenty of time to kill.

    Great view of the ocean. Tasty! Quaint! Friendly! A little pricey but what would you expect on Waikiki Beach. I usually expect real dishes and cutlery for a $15 breakfast but being on vacations erases such expectations.

  • Catherine H.

    The food is mediocre and the service is non existent. We spent $40 and we should have stayed home and had cereal. I do not recommend!

  • Alexis R.

    Pricy. Strawberries were mushy and too much whipped cream. Might have been better if I got something else, did like my papaya slice but still not a very good deal.

  • Kris M.

    We assumed that the long wait was a good sign, not so. We were expected to step over vomit on the way up the stairs, (they were attempting to clean it up, but still..) Need I say more?

    On Christmas morning After waiting for more than 40 min we got our table. We were celebrating our first family reunion and my 81 year old father in law has difficulties climbing their stairs to the second floor where the restaurant is located. One member of the family was still missing coming from the hotel around the corner. In a very despective and derogatory way they asked us to leave saying they couldn't allow the six of us to seat until the seven person was there. We understand their rules, but they had zero compassion of an 81 year old person and that was no way to treat people on Christmas day. They are extremely arrogant and mean. The owner even went to fight his hostess for allowing us in and not checking all members were there. Ver bad experience for vacationing in Hawaii. I would give them zero stars

    My goodness this was a great place for pancakes! Go early, as the wait can be long. Only a 10 minute wait on Monday at 7:00am. Service is friendly but occasionally inefficient. However they bring things in a timely fashion upon request. The breakfast foods here are delicious, but the pancakes are the real star of the show. Must have them with the coconut syrup -- trust me. Coffee is konalicious! Pricing is moderate at over $35 for 2. Parking is non-existent but not an issue if your hotel is in walking distance (I walk more here than in CA). You'll need to walk off all the calories consumed here, but it's so yummy!

  • Daniel A.

    the best breakfast was one of the best ones I had my whole week of vacation there, the price was rather fair for the amount of food that was served. The pineapple pancakes and the sausage were delicious! definitely a place to try if you're hungry for some breakfast.

    I wanted to go to this place so badly because there was always a long line outside of this restaurant; however, this was my worst food experience in Hawaii. Here is why: Format of restaurant: I guess because they are so busy, the goal is to move people through as quickly as possible. When I went with my family, there was no line outside, but we were rushed nonetheless. You have to order outside, then pay for your food, and then stay in line to get a table. After we were done eating, we were rushed out as quickly as possible, although there was no one behind us. Staff: I don't know what the heck was up with the staff that day. Not a single smilie in sight and a lot of sighing all around, maybe long day or something. They were so rude to tourists who did not speak fluent English and I even saw them raise their voice and roll their eyes at two young girls, who did not understood that they had stand in line after ordering and paying (even though there were free tables all around). Food: If Denny's served food on paper plates in Hawaii, it would be called Eggs'n'Things. Very underwhelming. Not sure what the "Things" refer to, but my family and I did not feel well after the meal. Looks like my experience was in the minority or my expectations were too high or something, but I wouldn't return there.

    I should have listened to yelp -- this place was terrible. It is called eggs n things, so I thought the eggs would be good. they were terrible. I had the worst omelet ever. And, they have very few egg options. The pancakes were pretty good. Not amazing. And the service was terrible. Also, we ordered a side of sliced pineapple (for $6). They gave us a tiny amount and it wasn't even ripe. I can't believe people line up for this place.

    I wish there was a half star option. This place has the worst service I have ever had on the island and back home. I seriously waited to wait and once I got to a table I waited 30min for water, and it wasn't even busy, and 10 min later after I asked for service just I waited another 15min just for a server to give me attitude when I order like I was a problem. They brought my food out fast like it was already maid and just sitting and then they kinda just threw my plate on the table like "here u go" honestly I was about to get up and leave but I was starving. There's little nats/flies around and on the table I had to smash with my fingers or napkin. It's kinda dirty also. The food was good but I feel a little nauseous after eating. I never once had the urge to write a bad yelp review but this was so unacceptable. I will NEVER eat here again. Even if they offer me free food. Worst dining experience I've had.

    I first discovered this place by reading other reviews back in the summer of 2012. Year and a half later I return with my SO and take him there. First night we had dinner there. My SO ordered Ahi tuna steak and eggs with pancake. Ahi tuna steak done with Cajun spices with a wasabi aioli. Ah-mazing. I had ordered this the last time I came here with macadamia pancakes, but this time was just the standard fluffy buttermilk pancakes. I had ordered this time the chicken fried steak which came with potato salad and buttermilk pancakes. Had it with the coconut syrup. Sooo good! The next morning we came in for Coconut waffles and the loco moco. Had to try the loco moco as the locals recommended to try it. The loco moco at eggs n things is good, but It's something I wouldn't always have. But the coconut waffles with coconut syrup is sooo good! Our last morning on our 3 day stay we went back for breakfast. We had the coconut waffles again and had ordered the Portuguese sausages with eggs and it came with the buttermilk pancakes. This time we almost used up the whole coconut syrup container. Too bad the gift shop below was sold out of the syrup. Would have purchased some to take home. But definitely try the pancakes and the waffles and the ahi tuna steak! Definitely will be back when we come back later on this year :)

    Great food. Eggs scrambled to perfection and bacon perfectly crispy yet not overdone. I was out for a while at six in the morning and had no plans to grab breakfast however this place is opening up and I got in line at the right time.

  • Kristen L.

    I got the regular loco moco and my mom got the spam, eggs and rice. I thought the hamburger meat in the loco moco was pretty dry and over-cooked. The bill came out to be $30 after tax and tip. All in all, the breakfast was alright, but I'm sure there are other good breakfast places in the vicinity which are less expensive and better tasting.

  • Mel T.

    SPAM AND EGGS! oh how I missed this. Even though i can cook my own, it doesnt taste the same in your kitchen as it does in Hawaii. My boyfriend ordered the blueberry pancakes, and i got the tradition spam eggs and white rice and corn beef hash! AMAZING drool. sit upstairs on the stool section area. enjoy your food while staring at the outdoors and people watch :)

  • Paige L.

    I would not be interested in eating here again. In a nutshell: long wait to be seated, long wait to be served, snappy and rude staff, mediocre quality food and very overpriced. My mom and I both ordered omelets and pancakes. She was annoyed that the ham inside hers came as large, whole slices (lazy prep cook or...??) and the pancakes were tough, and I wasn't happy that my omelet was covered in puddles of grease. Yep, could've got Spam, eggs and rice at McD's for half the price.

  • Corey G.

    Better than average breakfast food; also serves bubble tea drinks which were good. The wait was over 30 min at 9am on a Wed morning. Staff friendly but rushed. Best part was having coconut and guava syrups at the table alongside the standard maple. Was so good that we bought some at gift shop for home (might be available at grocery stores).

    This is such a popular tourist destination and you'll be lucky if you get seated right away (highly unlikely). For a table of 2 at a decent morning hour (10/11am), we had to wait almost 40 minutes to get a table. While you wait, you can check out their local Eggs & Things store or the cigarette/weed-ish shop next door (I bet they get a lot of foot traffic from Eggs & Things because they're pretty dead otherwise) I believe all of the tables are located on the 2nd floor & you can get there by heading upstairs on the outside of the restaurant. We were able to grab an outdoor view from the 2nd floor overlooking Saratoga Rd (facing the post office). It was a nice view and we could see the double-decker tour buses as they passed along that road. I know their famous for their macadamia nut pancakes but we opted for something savory. My bf ordered their Hawaiian Loco Moco (basically w/Portuguese sausage) & I had their corn beef hash omelet. We also had their Plantation ice tea (pinapple juice + tea). Overall, I thought the food was good (but nothing spectacular). It may be because I'm not a huge egg person but I had a craving for breakfast & this place was popular. I do recommend everyone who visits Waikiki to come here once just to experience it for themselves. I wouldn't be against coming back, but the wait makes me want to try other places instead.

    The primary reason I rated it 3 stars is due to the price... it's extraordinarily overpriced! $26 got me a glass of POG, turkey bacon, eggs, hashbrowns and a waffle :( I'm sure it's due to the location and abundance of tourists...but jeeze! Oh, and the ordering process can be a bit confusing. You stand in a line to place your order, then another to pay, then another to be seated. After I went through the process, I got it though... once you're seated it's a matter of seconds before your food is placed in front of you! Again, touching the price thing... it's funny because your food is served on paper plates... you'd think for $26, you'd at least get an actual plate and actual utensils instead of paper products...but I guess that goes with the speed of service... because we didn't have to wait too long. The food quality was good though! The eggs were so fluffy and I love that they had a turkey bacon option! I love breakfast and I will definitely return here for some...just as soon as I save up my money in my piggy bank ;) Oh, and, you may end up sharing a table with other guests like we did...seating is pretty limited. To avoid that scenario, just opt to take out :)

    5 min wait for two people around 9 a.m.~ hell yah :D Expensive, $10+ for macadamia nut pancakes.5 medium size pancakes that tasted BOMB dude - I kid you not that stuff was delicious. A bit of coconut syrup it was yummmmmzie~

  • Alexa C.

    Mac-pancake-crab-cakes-benedict-all-up-in-my-mouth heaven! Generous portions at modest prices. The wait for a table for 6 took somewhere between an hour and forever, but by the end of the meal everyone was rubbing their engorged-with-breakfast bellies in utter satisfaction and not one complaint was heard. My only gripe is that the eggs on my crab cakes were somewhat tiny, but given that my meal was drenched in glorious hollandaise, and hollandaise is made out of eggs, I forgive them. Their POG smoothie is also pretty awesome. Places like this remind me why breakfast is my favorite meal.

  • Sarah N.

    Went back two days in a row it was so good. I ordered the same thing both times...macadamia nut pancakes with eggs and corn beef hash. The pancakes were recommended by the cutest older waitress with silver hair and a great smile. She knew I was hooked and even said, "I have a feeling I will be seeing you tomorrow." She was right! Trust me, add the coconut syrup to your macadamia nut pancakes and you will be on cloud 9! And the Kona iced coffee was excellent as well. I recommend getting there early because the place is small and the line to get a seat only gets longer as the days goes on. They do have a gift shop to stroll through while you wait, but it seemed like people were spilling out of the small gift shop as well. The owner should invest in expanding. There is only one narrow staircase up and down (which is not handicap accessible) and only allows for one way traffic so collisions between those leaving and others coming are inevitable. Having said all of that...when the food is that good you forget about being packed in like sardines.

  • Jay D.

    Not the best food, service mediocre server brought me the wrong omelette and by the time the correct one came out my wife was done eating, I never expect anything for free but if something like this happens it's the bare minimum to buy that entree for the guest.

    (2)

  • Brandon N.

    Awesome. Pancakes. That is all. I go for the blueberry pancakes, every damn time. I keep telling myself, ima try something new this time... but then some other table orders it and once i see it walk by, it is a must have. Plump, juicy and sweet blueberries pack this pancake, and then topped by more of said blueberries then dusted with powdered sugar. I've tried boots n kimos and their blueberry pancakes do not compare. Sides... portuguese sausage, yes. Corned beef hash, meh. This was the weak link of the meal. Go early or you will be waiting in a massive line. I swear the tour busses must drop off right in front bc this line gets crazy QUICK.

  • Chenda N.

    i'm not sure what all the hype is about unless you've never had pancakes and eggs at a breakfast house. eggs are just that, eggs, nothing special but i'm glad they got my OE request right. I had the turkey bacon with eggs and upgraded my pancakes with macadamia for an extra $3.95 and asked for bananas and was upcharged $3.00. overall, good but not crazy delicious that I want to roll over in my grave. coffee was average and service was fast and to the point. nothing really to complain about. I was solo and arrived around 9 a.m. (March) and there was only a 15 minute wait, WHEW! compared to the 1 hour wait when we were here last August. no way is the wait worth it, there are other breakfast places within a mile, walking distance, like The Cream Pot (slow service though but good food).

    One of the best breakfast places I have ever been to in my life. It was packed at 8am and I wish I had a bigger belly because there were so many items I wanted to order. This is a must if you are in the area.

  • Niki T.

    Soupy disgusting omelette, could not finish it. The restaurant was tiny, you end up sharing a table with strangers. Despite having to wait in line for a while. Food served on papers plates and is just ghetto. Servers don't do drink orders, just bussers and food runners. Way over priced for what you get. Would not return. Would rather have gotten fast food at the Mcdonalds next door.

  • Vladi Z.

    Love it. Best breakfast ever! Especially for tourists, the omlettes are fantastic and the pancakes are amazing. Also have the lilikoi and lemonade juice (passion fruit with lemonade). They also have a retail section where you can buy the guava syrup + some of the honey. We had the spinach, bacon and cheese omelette, subbed strawberry pancakes for $6, had the juice and cup of coffee and made it our under $40. It was a ton of food that we wanted to try and worth every penny. In one word, amazing

  • Andrea R.

    I live in Waikiki and pass the long lines outside of this place everyday, I finally decided to give it a try, it had to be good if people were always waiting to get inside, right? WRONG! Both my boyfriend and I ordered omelets which were only cooked on the outside, the inside (where the cheese, onions, meat, etc,) was full of goo! And by goo, I mean just nasty uncooked egg. As if they put the eggs in the pan, added the ingredients and then just flipped half of it over to cover them, not cooking the inside at all. It was terribly slimy. The cost wasn't too bad, we got 2 omelets with potatoes and a lemonade and it came to $30. The service was excellent, which is why I'm giving atleast 2 stars.

  • Alyssa B.

    I ordered an egg white and cheese omelet with potatoes and split some Mac nut pancakes with a friend. The food was good but didn't blow my mind. It was kind of like greasy diner food. A bit fresher and tastier though in all fairness. There's a huge crowd. After waiting in the rain for at least an hour we were seated in a very small and awkward table. The place is so small and crowded we ended up sitting next to eachother bumping elbows during breakfast and rather than being able to face eachother I faced the balcony and he faced the table next to us. The host was great but the server was really not upbeat in any way. I also hated the salsa. It was awful. I think they put cucumbers in it and to put that on eggs was vomit worthy. I was limited to only tobasco on my eggs.. Not a happy camper.

  • Ashlee N.

    I had been going back and forth trying to decide if I wanted to write a review for this place. I visited Waikiki back in April for a wedding and decided to try this place after reading positive reviews on Yelp. Well, we had to wait what seemed like forever--about an hour--for a party of two. When we were taken upstairs, I noticed at least 5 open tables. Why did it take an hour for us to be seated if there were that many tables open? Two of our friends showed up about 10 minutes after we were seated and were able to get a table immediately. We had the displeasure of sitting at the crowded ledge-bar-thingy that hangs over the front of the restaurant. We ordered our food, which came out in parts within about 20 minutes of each other. The food was decent at best. Definitely not something I'd waste another hour to eat. I will not be returning.

  • Jack W.

    Me and my wife enjoy eating out, and it has been a while since we ate here. There was a line, but like any "hotspot" there will be one. I got the omelet of the day, and my wife got the strawberry crape or the crap as i liked to call it. The service was fast and friendly but the food suffered. The veggies in my omelet where raw, thick cut and a little to no meat. I love onions just not whole sides of ones. My wife's Crape had a weird taste to it, the strawberries were frozen and just kinda thrown about. If your a local don't waste your time, if your a tourist go and see what all the talks about, but be warned, you will pay top dollar for a sub par meal.

  • Mike T.

    More than a dozen empty seats. 1 person for breakfast and you won't seat me - with no line. Nice

    (2)

  • Jerry V.

    The main issue here is: do you wait in line for 45 minutes (or more) for breakfast in Waikiki Beach. For my dining companion and myself, the answer was a conditional "yes." The condition is, once is enough. When you finally reach the top of stairs, you place your order with one person who gives you a receipt which you take to another person who pays and gives you one of those vibrating beepers. Then you wait again for your table to eat off paper plates with plastic (not biodegradable) utensils. As to the food, my dining companion's macadamia nut pancakes ($10.25) were very good and abundant. (I had a taste.) My ahi steak and eggs with home fries ($14.95) was an excellent choice. A nice cut, cooked as asked. In the end, you have to decide for yourself.

    Okay. Chocolate chip pancakes were way too sweet. Food is just okay - nothing memorable. Being in Waikiki, everything is overpriced. Souvenir shop is kind of fun.

  • Parm S.

    Waited 45 minutes for the "privilege" to sit on a wobbly stool overlooking the street.. Sound nice? It gets better, the lack of windows allowed a family of birds to dive bomb through at their leisure. After being seated it took 20 minutes to get water, thankfully that was complimentary unlike everything else here. 3 dollars for a coke? They charge 2.45 for a order of toast and they can't even serve fresh bread? Overrated and not even close to being worth the time and wait required. Barely better than Denny's or IHOP. Save you vacation and order in room service.

    Was eating here on my trip to Honolulu. The food is really good, less greasy than most places that I have ate in my hometown. Would definitely come again. The only downside is the waiters are kinda rude other than that the food is great and great view if you sit outside on the balcony.

  • Lizzy C.

    My favorite breakfast place in Waikiki...went here 4-5 times. Love their fried rice, spam and eggs, corned beef hash, pancakes with their to die for coconut syrup. Who doesn't love a place that serves rice instead of potatos with your eggs?!? They are open at night now and that was convenient when ordering take out. There is always a line or a wait...but we think jus worth it. Cute and expensive souvenir shop downstairs

  • Tyson H.

    An average vacation breakfast place with a wait. After reading everyone's reviews on Eggs 'n Things I figured we would give it a try. The good: The food portions are great for the price. We order the Bacon, Spinach, and Cheese Omelet; and Eggs Benedict. Both of the meals were great and it was a great portion of food, relative to the price. The breakfast potatoes were extremely yummy too! The bad: Our server was not pleasant (you could tell he did not want to be at work). We were also placed next to the register and the hostess were extremely loud and just goofed off. Multiple times the server came by our table and looked and saw that our coffee cups were empty. After the 4th time I asked if he could refill them. Overall a decent breakfast with nice food, but don't expect any service.

  • Suzie A.

    Was on honolulu for a week, based on yelp reviews decided to give this place a shot. BY FAR, my favorite place to have brrakfast in hawaii. Tried their pineapple french toast with nuts (part of their daily special). Went a second time and had their pineapple pancakes with their coconut syrup and eggs with Portuguese sausage and bacon. Food was AMAZING! Food was served very fast. Customer service was great! Wish i had one back home in california.

    My second time dining at Eggs N Things and I was still very happy with the service and food. // LOCATION // At one end of Waikiki around the block from some posh shopping // SERVICE // Great. The host, Ken, did a great job keeping the crowds contained and was very informative on menu items. You are given a pager and once your pager buzzes, just make your way upstairs, there is no need to check back in with the host on the first floor. The bus boys (especially Freddy!) were all so sweet as well. // FOOD // +Corned Beef Hash with 2 eggs: My first time trying corned beef hash and I was impressed! My sis, who is a big fan of the dish, said it was a good take on one of her faves. I expected the dish to be very salty, but it was perfectly seasoned. + Macadamia Nut Pancakes: Dense, yet fluffy and delish. The macadamia nuts were crushed and scattered throughout the pancakes as well as sprinkled over the top. The pancakes were a bit denser than i would have preferred, but I still loved them. +Syrups: Loved the unique syrups served at Eggs N Things. In addition to the traditional maple, you will also find coconut and guava on the table. My personal fave was the coconut. *Tip: All dishes come with pancakes and for a small fee, you can upgrade to the specialty pancakes (blueberry, mac nut, etc). If you aren't too hungry, split an entree with a friend since each comes with a stack of three pancakes.

    The pancakes are amazing and the syrup is worth every bite. I would definitely recommend this place for a low key breakfast, but expect a wait for a table.

    The food here is amazing!!! Had the Hawaiian moco loco with fried eggs. The iced kona coffee was delicious as well. Definitely get some pancakes so you can try the coconut syrup. Yum.

    This location = no parking (look for street parking or take the one of many trolleys that stops right in front of the restaurant) and also a long wait for a table. Worth the wait of admission. Our group waited for about 20 mins for a table (glad they had those buzzing table/ready coasters to hold on to), seating was upstairs but restrooms were downstairs (weird). The breakfast was awesome! A great way to start your day on vacation with some spam and eggs, Portuguese sausage and eggs and Macadamia Nut pancakes. The service was pretty awesome...but they had this pervert of a busboy (older Filipino guy) always trying to hit up on the poor cute Japanese girls and hugging them. LOL! Food came out fast, the service was quick and friendly, and it was worth the wait for their breakfast. This is not the Waikiki Beach location, but apparently a new location not too far away. The other pancakes we saw at the other tables look good and big too! Do have patience, do look over the menu when you're waiting for a table (it'll save you some time when do get your table), do enjoy the views if you're sitting facing out of the restaurant and do enjoy their Mac Nut Pancakes. A Japanese touristy stop.

    The food's good, but expect to wait 30 minutes to an hour to be served. Also, I don't know why they bother having a phone number...they don't take phone orders, and they only serve take-out when they're in the mood.

    I LOVE them! The service is not the friendliest BUT they are very efficient and fast! The busser quickly came by our table to get our drink orders. Soon after that the server came by to take our order. I got the special omelet with Portuguese sausage, green onions, tomato and cheese. For my side dish I got potatoes. They cook most of the omelet on a pan but also bake it for a couple of minutes after that. When I got it, it was nice a fluffy and perfectly cooked! I was in breakfast heaven!! yummmoo! The homemade salsa that it came with went well with the omelet. Potatoes are probably not homemade or whatever but it's nicely seasoned and tasted almost like curly fries! AND I can never a enough of their pancakes. By far, the best pancakes here. So light and fluffy! It's a must! I like it with strawberries and whipped cream :) Also for the pancakes, they have special syrups. I think it was a homemade guava and pineapple syrup. I didn't try it but seems to be very popular. I'm a simple maple kinda gal.

    A little bit of a wait if you want a good brunch or breakfast but definitely worth it! You basically greet the host/hostess and inform them of the number in your party. Make sure you don't go too far from the restaurant or the buzzer won't work that well. You will also notice right away that there are a large number of Japanese tourists that are also waiting to dine here! Our wait was about 20-30 minutes but we were seated on the balcony of the upstairs restaurant (prime property for the birds if you're not careful). For breakfast we ordered the coconut pancakes. Oh yes, that's right. Coconut pieces baked into the pancakes with coconut shavings sprinkled on top! This was a definite WINNING selection! Great for sharing and even better if you add coconut syrup on top! For the savory option, my husband and I ordered the omelete. spinach bacon and cheese. VERY GOOD! Overall, a great restaurant. The reason why I took off one star was because I felt like we didn't get the best service from our waiter. It was super busy and did not get our waters refilled and he did not check up on us often.

    Worth the hype. Waited for an hour to get in but the location is perfect - right by Waikiki Beach. Macadamia nut pancakes are a MUST, coconut syrup for a perfect pairing. Fresh guava juice so refreshing. Btw - no one mentions how cute this cafe is!!! The restaurant is upstairs, has a fantastic balcony for tables for two, feels like an airy getaway.

    My wife and I ate here the day after we where married as we stayed down town for the evening. It was a nice walk to the place but we didnt mind at all. As we get there about 930 or so we where told it would be a wait time of 10 or so minutes in which we both where ok with. 3 minutes later our buzzer goes off and we headed up stairs. We where seated in the back along the balcony. Now mind yoh not the greatest view but, I didnt come here for a view I came here for some good food. The service was excellent from start to finish. Even though we had our backs to where the waitress came from she was still able to get us our drinks and food with having it spilt everywhere. Which for me was very impressive because each time she came I was trying move out the way but ended up being in the way. We ordered half a papaya which very good way to start the breakfast. We both ordered iced coffee with milk. For me it was quiet strong but thats not a complaint just it was a little unexpected. For food we both ordered the portegese sausge and eggs. My wife had it with rice. I had it with the pancakes. Now for me, Im kinda a pancake snob. If the pancakes are not as good as can make at mom why even bither going to the resturant and oredering food. But I alsways have to try it where ever I go. Here at Eggs and Things, they do it right. Not to dense, not bland at all, just right. So if yoh come here expect great service and aweskme food.

    What the heck, folks? I don't understand why this place was rated so highly. How is it any better than any other breakfast place like IHOP? The waikiki beach view? Pfft. We were attracted by the long line (it must be THAT good, right?), paid before getting seated, and ate on disposable plates and utensils. Which isn't a bad thing by itself, but it IS when you paid $14 a plate with only moderate sized proportions and decent taste. Besides our ice coffee, the drinks were all self service. I enjoyed the tall whipped cream topping. That's about it.

  • Kaleigh M.

    The wait wasn't too bad, given that there was a line down the sidewalk. They have a coffee bar type set up to order drinks while you wait. The host sang and danced as he called guests to be seated, he was the friendliest!! The tofu scramble with potatoes and toast was so flavorful, especially with the house made salsa. They have no problem accommodating vegan requests and I would go back for sure!

  • Jana M.

    Wow I'm really surprised by all the low star reviews! we love this place. Yes, just like every good breakfast place in Hawaii it has a wait. Yes, it's not the cheapest place- do you know how much rent costs near ala Moana? Well I don't, but I can only imagine its ridiculous. And who doesn't love a place where u can get awesome pancakes all day?? Servers are unique and friendly! Sometimes I didn't have to sit so close to the people next to us, but then I think, stop being so closed off! In europe people share tables with strangers all the time, no big deal! OK enough with ranting. My hubby loves the veggie omelette, I like everything so far as long as it comes with those delicious pancakes! Don't go on the weekends at breakfast time. duh.

    My macadamia nut pancakes were magical. Life changing. Nuff said. The wait does suck, but I just went next door to the coffee shop and sat outside and drank my coffee. No big deal. It's vacation, right? What's the rush for breakfast?

    This is a pretty small breakfast/brunch place looking right into Waikiki beach. We came here because we saw the line of people waiting to eat and thought we'd try it out. It took maybe 30-40 mins to get seated but as soon as we were seated, the food came out 5-10 mins later so that was pretty quick. The view is amazing. If you get a booth right at the window, it feels like you're eating outside at the beach since you're facing it. I like how it's breezy and airy. Food is O-K. Definitely nothing to write home about. The way they make their omelet is quite interesting also, it feels like they cook everything and then put the eggs on top so the egg forms a layer over it. It doesn't "wrap" around the filling like traditional omelets do. Their pancakes are okay but I did like their coconut syrup. It wasn't too sweet or very thick like syrup usually is. I saw some people doing take out but beware, there is an extra charge for that. Overall, it's okay. You can find something better.

    The service was great and the waitress was really nice. But if you are hungry, traveling with kids, don't come here, the wait is very very long. If you have nothing but time, then you should try this place. Our wait was about 1hr and 30 min for a table for 5.

  • Shanna N.

    Don't understand the big hype... There are so many unwritten rules like no take out when it is busy, or you can order only once so you cannot add anything on, or that they offer kamaaina discount but you have to ask as soon as you sit down. As for the service no one is remotely friendly and not to mention the birds dive bombing you while you are eating. As for the food, it is mediocre. I can get the same thing at a cheaper price with better service pretty much anywhere on the island.

    Another overrated tourist trap. It's nothing special. After waiting for an eternity they sat us in their cramped upstairs dining area where all you hear is the loud clattering of silverware over loud conversation. Ambience is terrible, food is okay but nothing special. Also doesn't allow any outside beverages in effort to make you buy their beverages while you wait. Never going here again.

  • Eder R.

    Long lines for a mediocre breakfast. When our order was taken they were completely unaccommodating. We ask for a simple substitution of mushrooms and the host insisted he had to charge us. We sat facing a wall eating with plastic cutlery on paper plates. The pancakes were undercooked making them hard to cut through. I think the hype makes this place out to be more than it is.

    Dirty, overpriced and the older female hostess was rude! There are many other places in Waikiki to eat vs wasting money and your appetite on this place. Just discovered Heavenly on Seaside! It is phenomenal!

  • Makai H.

    Came a few minutes before they opened to beat the lines... Pros- Big stack of fluffy Macadamia nut pancakes (1 order would suffice for 2-3 people). Options of coconut and guava syrups available. Best loco moco I had in the area-could tell the gravy was cooked w/onions. Underwhelmed w/their plantation style ice tea (and no refills). Cons- Extremely limited seating, so I would plan to get there before they open or expect a long wait/line. Once we were seated, I felt somewhat (probably unnecessarily) for the people in line, especially the ones inside the restaurant glaring at those of us seated, likely wishing others would vacate. As a result, I didn't feel like I could fully relax during the meal. Would've given this place a 2-star rating if not for the loco moco. Definitely wouldn't have bothered to come here if I had to wait in a long line.

    Interesting system of ordering first, then having the line split with one person paying on the left side and one person waiting online to sit (extra time if youre eating alone?) Then sit at table with a vibrating pager for your food to be ready. Someone described this place slow fast food. Brilliant concept. Paper plates with plastic forks. Free coffee refills in take away cups. I had the macadamia nuts pancakes with coconut syrup, perfect. Make sure you get there early.

    If you're looking for a popular Waikiki breakfast eatery, Eggs 'N Things is the place to be. The experience was well worth the 30 min wait. The restaurant is on the second level so you get a nice view with your breakfast. I ordered one crispy-golden Wells Waffle sprinkled with powdered sugar and pineapple bits ($10.25) with a side of 1 egg over hard ($2.75). This is the best waffle I've had in my life. It's not heavy and thick like other American diners. The waffle was crispy and thin and I didn't have to use much guava or coconut syrup since the fresh pineapple pieces were so sweet and juicy already. My friend ordered Portuguese Sausage & Eggs with pancakes for $9.95. The Portuguese sausage was really delicious. Our server was quick, friendly, and tentative. He brought all of our orders fast and our eggs were cooked perfectly. I was impressed since we each prefer different egg styles. I think Eggs 'N Things has the best breakfast in Hawaii. I'll definitely come back for more. Hours of Operation: 6am to 2pm and 5pm to 2am. Tip: The Eggs 'N Things has 3 locations but the Saratoga Flagship Store is located right next to the US Army Museum of Hawaii. Its free so you can walk through and burn some calories while viewing the great collection of US Army memorabilia from Pearl Harbor to the Vietnam era.

    I had the most incredible Pineapple Whipped Cream Waffles. I have the biggest sweet tooth and even I couldn't eat all that whipped cream! The pineapple was fresh and perfect. With it I had a lava flow smoothie and I'd have to say it was one of the best on the island! My sister had a crabs cake eggs benedict that I just couldn't get enough of. The eggs were perfectly runny, the english muffin was just the right amount of crispy, and the hollandaise were just right. We were only in town for a few days, but this restaurant was so amazing that we came back for breakfast again! This time I ordered the crab cakes eggs benedict. To my dismay, there seemed to have been a different chef in the kitchen that day! The eggs were way overcooked, the muffin was burnt, and the hollandaise tasted totally different. It wasn't bad, but it was not what I was expecting. If this benedict had been served my first day there, I would not have come back. I only took off one star though, because that first day was simply heaven for breakfast.

    Warning, this place is a freaking tourist attraction. Every day that we stayed in Hawaii, we would walk by and see a line. I got smart, I got pager from them, was told the wait time, went to walk the strip for a little bit and came back just when they buzzed my pager. =) hehe. hmmmm.... Macadamia Pancakes with choices of Coconut, Guava or Maple syrup. Sit outside or upstairs on the patio. Its so relaxing to eat while you watch birds try to attack you.

    What a beautiful breakfast spot! This place is not pricy at all, and the food is excellent. They offer pancakes prepared in many styles (banana, chocolate chip, blueberry, etc) and a slew of egg and crepes. Eggs come with an optional side of pancakes if you want a little of both! Service was great, our waiter was very keyed into us & friendly! Overall a great find...it's good food in a beautiful location with indoor/outdoor seating. It's not very touristy -- get there early (7:00 -7:30 AM) as it fills up quickly!

  • Dylan M.

    The food was mediocre at best but what really detracted from the experience was the customer service. The staff was unfriendly, slow, and seemingly incompetent. The wait lasted nearly 45 minutes and when we went up to the dining area there was plenty of available seating. The greeter was awkward and not useful as he suggested we would be seated soon ~15 minutes before we actually got seated. The wait staff took our order out of order and when we asked what was going on they told us "we do it counter clockwise". No, that's not how that works.

  • Christina L.

    Don't even attempt to come here if you have a party of 4 or more or you'll be waiting over two hours even if the host says it's a "one hour wait" when you get here. We told them at the beginning we could be seated at different tables but they made no indication of that so they basically waited until the restaurant totally emptied out before they seated us. Food was average. The pancakes taste just like the ones I make from the Japanese market premade mix. My loco moco patty was very dry and tough like it was frozen. Portugese sausage was good but you only got 4 thin slices of it on your plate. drinks were more expensive than starbucks. Overpriced and overrated, we should have gone to the IHOP down the road.

  • Kate W.

    Before we went to Honolulu we heard about this place and already were anticipating the macadamia pancakes. They totally lived up to the hype. Also tried something called Portuguese sausage thats big on the islands, its a little spicy, juicy, delicious. I loved the coconut syrup for the pancakes...mmmm, mouth watering.

    Despite the fact that I felt SUPER FAT after eating, it was soo delicious. I had a veggie omelette & coconut pancakessss--- SO GOOD for dinner!! I also stole some of my mom's banana pancakes and jack johnson's song "banana pancakes" flooded my thoughts. Too bad the place is super crowded during breakfast and lunch (one of the reasons we went during dinner). BUT- I think if you can go during a time when it's not crowded, it's worth it. Also, the way they take orders is a little different here, you order before you come inside and then they give you a buzzer which goes off once your order is ready. Makes the whole process go a lot faster! Anyways, great breakfast for breakfast, breakfast for lunch and breakfast for dinner place haha :)

    I used to go to this place when it was a tiny hole in the wall on ena rd. it was wonderful then, from the food to the servers. But it has really lost its way. Tried it again a few months ago and was shocked at how bad the food was. Even the pancakes. No more special citrus syrup. The waiter and cook had never heard of it. Will not go back. There are much better places for breakfast now, some of which have taken menu ideas from eggs n things. These other places do it so much better.

    The food here was good and a little on the cheaper side. We had the coconut pancakes and the portions were huge. Pancakes were definitely very good, not the best I've ever had but good.

    We ordered several different things here. The best, by far, was the coconut waffle with coconut syrup. Soooo good. Their acai bowl is also fantastic. I ordered some french toast with fresh coconut as well...unfortunately, I think I broke my tooth on a piece of the shell. I haven't been to the dentist yet, but I have had a toothache for 2 weeks. I just got back home, so I'll be going in soon. The food was good...just watch out for that minor setback. :(

    Three words - macadamia nut pancakes!! This was my favorite restaurant to grab breakfast from. I got there around 10am and there was a bit of a wait, but it was sooo worth it. The place was packed, yet the customer service was not lacking. Everyone was super nice and offered suggestions on what to order for first timers and several of their staff walked over and gave us tips of beaches and places to party at. :) We ordered a little bit of everything. The fresh guava juice is super sweet and if you order any of the specials or meat and eggs, it comes with pancakes. You can upgrade the pancakes to your liking which is exactly what I did. The portions are huge so I would suggest sharing with whomever you are with. I would highly recommend this place if you are looking for good a good Hawaiian breakfast. FYI...they are also opening a second location on the strip of Waikiki that should be open by the end of the year.

  • Phil M.

    Good breakfast spot close to the Waikiki beach hotels. My wife and I shared some over easy eggs cooked perfectly with fried potatoes that were nice and hot when they came out. Nothing worse then cold potatoes. My macadamia pancakes were nice and fluffy. Loved the coconut syrup. Pros location food prepared well and came out hot (fluffy pancakes & COCONUT syrup) friendly staff water and coffee was filled constantly before they even were half empty View - got an open air counter spot right out in front Cons Price - $30 for breakfast. But, this is Hawaii. All food is expensive. Wait time - can be long if you get there after 9am.

  • Craig H.

    OK, but I was expecting a little better. We had the acai bowl and that was a hit. A perfect mix of frozen acai, granola topped with fruit, coconut and honey. The French toast special was very good as well. It came with macadamia nuts, chocolate morsels, and bananas top with a mountain of whipped cream.The waffle was the disappointment of the three dishes. Decent enough waffle but the blueberries were reconstituted from frozen and tough. Again it came with a A good cup and a half of whipped cream which I felt was a bit much. My complaint comes from each our dishes coming 5 minutes apart and is really wasn't that busy.

    If you want to try this place out be aware that you have to search for parking in Waikiki. There are a couple of places near by that offers public parking and pricing can start at about $5.00 for two hours of parking on up! Unless you get lucky and find a free parking space by the canal area. At 8:30 am on a Saturday morning, the wait time was approximately 30 minutes long. First you need to register your name downstairs, then your given one of those beepers to let you know when your table is ready and if your lucky you will find a seat outside. Once your table is ready, if your facing the front of the building, look to your right and you will see stairs to the second floor, this is where you will need to go to get seated. Staff was friendly, the dining area was tight, they were quick to serve your drinks and get your order. We had the Mac Nut Pancakes (3), Eggs Benedict and 3 Egg Omelet with Spinach, pepper jack cheese and bacon. If you order the Omelet or Eggs Benedict you can get the Pancakes with it. They charge a little for the Mac Nut. For the Pancakes you have your choice of 3 syrups: Guava, Coconut and Maple. My favorite was the Guava! We enjoyed our food and had a nice breakfast. I would eat there again... as long as I can easily find parking!

  • Eric N.

    I don't get the draw here. The wait was 45 min at 8am. I can live with that, but the food better be amazing. The hubby and I shared an omelet with macadamia nuts and the fresh lemon crepes. We ordered the spinach bacon cheese omelet, but received tomato instead of spinach. The eggs were flavorless and overlooked and the tomatoes had zero flavor. The bacon was thin and bland and sadly didn't impart much flavor. On to the "fresh lemon" crepes. The only lemon flavor I could find was from the wedge of lemon placed on top of a tough, too sweet crepe. Finally, the "famous" macadamia nut pancakes with coconut syrup. Sadly, the stuff you can get in the store and make with a little water have a better flavor. These had little flavor on their own and the batter was so over mixed that struggled to cut them with my fork or knife. For $35, you can do far better elsewhere. We definitely won't bother dining here again.

    I don't review often but I just had to write one about Eggs n' things. We went twice when we were on vacation ordering local specials like the fried rice, Portuguese sausage omelet, spam and egg breakfast. We also tried the pancakes! Not only was the food fantastic, the ordering systems was so efficient. Yes, there is a wait but most good spots to eat have one. However, they had good systems. The one thing that slowed the process down was customers that didn't know what they wanted once it was their turn. You've had 20 minutes in line with menus AND staff walking the line to answer questions and you still don't know what to order?! Guarantee those are the folks complaining about "rude service." Sounds more like user error to me. All in all, great food, friendly staff, hearty portions and a great view. Definitely worth trying!

  • Michiko H.

    I recommend to order plate with 10 small pancake, not as expensive as others. Pancake with whipped cream is exciting. But honestly it is expensive and too big to eat all. Spinach Omelet was thin and nothing special. Maybe I expected too much while making line for 20 mn. The shop next to the restaurant is cute!

    Every time I hang out in Waikiki, I pass Eggs 'N' Things and see a massive line of people (mostly Japanese tourists) waiting to get in this place. Eating here has been on my to-do list for a while. Finally, one morning, after an awesome hike up Koko Head, me and my hiking buddies decided to attend to our intense hunger by trying the famous Eggs 'N' Things. We waited about 25 minutes to get in the door. But once we did, everything moved pretty quickly. They took our orders, we found a table outside, and then it wasn't long until our food showed up. The food alone is worth the wait. I had the Crab Cake Benedict, which was two large crab cakes with eggs over easy on top of them. It was incredibly delicious, and it was only about $13. The other people in my party had various meat and egg dishes, and everyone was very satisfied with their meals. One of my friends said the crumbled bacon on his dish was amazing. What's more, the "side dishes" of pancakes they give you are actually a stack of three good sized pancakes. They keep the syrup coming, iced tea refills are free, and they cook their eggs to perfection no matter how you order them. Bottom line: budget the time into one of your mornings in Waikiki and eat here. It's surprisingly cheap (most dishes are around $10), it's right across from the beach, and it's very good food.

    Food was just OK, service was lackluster and the place was super crowded. I dont see what all the fuss was about... My water was not filled more than once, and the steak wasnt even that good. At least I didnt gave to wait in a line too long like others! I got in, ate and got out and overpaid of course.

    I was meeting some my friends for breakfast, they got there early, ( I was coming from a different hotel), they wouldn't seat them until I arrived. Which they were a little bummed about... But I was only about a 10 minute wait. And the weather was a great day for waiting. As soon as I got there, we got in to a table. We liked the outside table to see the view and all the little birds who would fly in and visit the empty tables to scavenge for food. We had a lovely waittress, she was such a character and apparently was in some of the local commercial's. We really liked her. Service was very fast and cheerful! I ordered lemon cream cheese crepes, but was accidentally served strawberry crepes, which still looked totally delicious. And generally I would not send something back. But I really wanted the lemon. So they were very nice about ordering me the correct crepes. And let our table keep the strawberry ones! So was a nice 2 for 1. The boys had some really yummy looking food. It was served fast and the coffee was a delight! I can't wait to come back and try some of the other choices on the menu.

    We had high hopes for this meal but they were dashed by a very poorly thought out omelet. It was flat, the onions and tomato were raw, and the pork was waterlogged. Add to that, four pieces of bacon at $5. The service was pleasant but couldn't make up for the food. It seems popular but there are better options.

    OVERRATED. got here on our last day before our flight back to CA, and was told this was the place to go. it was less than a mile from my aunt's condo, so thought itd be best to save for the last day. got there a little after 7 AM, and saw a FAT crowd. japanese tourists AGAIN! barghhhhhhh! took forever to find parking and ended up getting a parking spot with a coin meter right across the street. not sure where all these other folks parked. but id say there were a good 40-50 people waiting and they had just been open for an hour. ugh. went in n put my name and told itd be a 45 minute wait. got a little buzzer pager about 30 minutes later, and almost an hour later, we were on our way upstairs. inside, its older, a bit tight on seating, with no AC, and fans spinning from the ceiling. we had already decided what we wanted. egg white omelet with spinach and bacon for me with a side of mac nut pancakes. my friend got the blueberry waffle. i also got a guava juice which was good. food came out about 10 minutes later. the coconut syrup was gross. the guava was tasteless. my friend and i agreed the regular maple syrup was best. the pancakes were not good at all. tasted like bisquick with some mac nuts thrown in it. the waffle had disgustingly too much whipped cream (although easily taken off). the egg white omelet with spinach and bacon was typical? nothing special. was so not worth the wait!!! food wasnt that great, wont be coming again.

    Very rude hostess this morning. I hardly ever try to pull out the "sometimes locals are rude to haoles" card but I really get the impression that this was the case this morning. First she tried to sit me at the counter and I asked to sit at a table because the stools not have backs and it tends to hurt my back. They were not busy at all. There were plenty of tables next to the counter which would been perfect for somebody dining alone as was my case. Instead of seating me right next to where she was going to sit me to begin with where there was is no one sitting at all she took me back inside and started to sit me in between two couples eating where I would have been cramped in and it would've been awkward since I'm eating alone. I asked "can I sit out there where there is no one sitting ( I pointed to several tables that were clearly empty) she said no that's for three people and didn't even smile when she did it pretty much looked down her nose at me as if "who the heck was I to ask for that in the first place." Tables for three she pointed out were basically tables for two with an added chair on the side it was totally ridiculous. I could understand if they were busy but they weren't. I walked out.

    Ate here twice. Sat at the bar overlooking the street the first time, inside the second. Preferred the bar area, but some folks would probably prefer a table. First time our waitress was extremely quick, helpful, etc. We each got iced coffee (one vanilla, one mocha)-delicious. Had the Portuguese sausage, eggs and pancakes. Chris had the pineapple, I had the macadamia nut. (You didn't think he wrote his own reviews did you?). They were both really awesome. The pancakes were so fluffy. Pineapple one's were better of the two. Add coconut syrup. Wow!! Second time we ordered less food since we had so much left over the first time we went. Awesome again. I'd give it 5 stars, but it is still really pricey for breakfast. If on vacation-go! Top notch.

    Awesome! Tight seating but worth it. Now I know why fried rice on the mainland never appeals to me, locals know how to make it the BEST - chock full of ham, portuguese sausage, kamaboko, spam, onion, bok choy, Wow! I'm coming back! Pancakes were great too, I snatched some of my son's.

    When I live in Hawaii in the early 90s and Eggs and Things was right down the street from The Wave, I had many drunken breakfasts there at 4 and 5 in the morning. My favorite was always the fish and scrambled eggs. The pancakes are epic though. Like you could write an entire love story about the first time you saw the pancakes and then when it was time for you to select your syrup as the choices are soo delicious in Hawaii. It's always love at first bite at Eggs and Things and from what I hear the line is still just as long 15 years later.

    Seriously, you will wait an hour + for a table and for a reason... The pancakes take forever to eat! My friend and I had chocolate chip pancakes which came in a stack of 5, I barely made it out alive eating 2! They're super filling and huge, I had a glass of guava and a glass of o.j (which were fresh juices!). Come hungry, be prepared to wait an hour. I will never look at pancakes again... too much of a good thing! once i ate too much cheesecake and I still can't look at a slice without feeling queasy... It was good pancakes though, but next time I'd share it with 3 other people or get something else, but idk how it'd be worth the almost 2 hour wait.

    Can't even give a one star.... We are foodies. We ordered the omelet with spinach turkey bacon, and tomatoes... The eggs were so greasy I wanted to get my napkin and soak all the oil off ! The potatoes that came along with it sucked. The food was served on paper plates with plastic ware, we spent $70 for 4 people, and the server could not give us an extra plate! Food network gave this place a thumbs up, but we are very disappointed. We've had better at Denny's ...

    Looking for a good breakfast spot in Waikiki, we had to see if this place lived up to the hype . We had breakfast here on a Thursday morning around 9am and were seated in about 10 minutes, which is pretty lucky i guess. The outdoor seating provides a nice view of the park across the street and the veranda makes it all feel like you're on a summer porch in late July. The food itself was served in hearty portions and the waitress even warned me about ordering the Spam, eggs and rice AND the mac nut pancakes (silly of her to presume a little lady couldn't handle a big meal!) I was loving the pancakes which were nice fluffy and sweet along with the guava jam (filipinos heart guava). And I think the Spam and eggs are a breakfast standard, can't really go wrong with that. Overall, if you're curious you should try it but I don't think it's worth the wait that some people do.

    We got here early on a Thursday (7:45am). The first person we talked to was super nice, explained the wait time and let us know that the wait time was around 30 minutes and that we'd get a pager within the next 10 minutes. This guy was pretty entertaining when he came out to give out pagers to the group of people waiting outside. The wait estimate was right on the mark. I ordered Portuguese sausage and eggs with a side of brown rice and upgraded my pancakes to macadamia nut pancakes. My hubby ordered the blueberry waffles. The macadamia nut pancakes were blah and kind of dry. The blueberry waffles were DELICIOUS! You get a fat helping of whipped cream on top with lots of blueberries in and around the waffles. Add some yummy guava syrup and you're set! The sausage was just OK, nothing special. The waiters seemed bored and uninterested. Believe what you read in the other reviews about the service. No one was really nice, they just seemed like they wanted to hurry up and get out of there. IMPORTANT NOTE: If you're sensitive to caffeine, DO NOT order the decaf coffee. I witnessed three different waiters pour coffee from the caffeinated decanter into the decaf decanter. That really disturbed me. Be warned!!

    The "things" part of eggs 'n things must be the mouth-watering flavors they put in their food to give your mouth an orgasm. If you're staying in Waikiki, you might as well do your walk of shame out to this deliciously orgasmic breakfast spot. don't forget to order the macadamia nut pancakes!

    Once we walked over to Egg 'N Things from our hotel and saw that the line was super long on a weekday morning, we knew something had to be worth it for people to wait in the humidity mid-morning. You have to place your name on some waiting list. Once that's over with, you have to wait to receive those portable devices that notifies you that your table is ready. Afterwards, you'll have to walk upstairs on the side of the building to the restaurant which is actually located on the second floor. You'll have to check your stroller in on the first floor, which is a shop/storage area for the restaurant. It can feel pretty cramped inside with so many tables trying to fit in such a small place. Everything, the table, utensils, chairs, etc. feel sticky since there is no A/C and a quarter of the restaurant is on the balcony facing the street. Service was subpar at best. The waitress forgot about our drinks at one point. Once you receive your food, the staff will place the check on the table. Maybe to nudge you along to finish quickly? Perhaps. I don't mind though since it's inconvenient for me to flag someone down for the check. Others might disagree though. I suppose the food is the star of the restaurant. I ordered Portuguese sausage and eggs (over easy) with a side of potatoes (I requested them crispy). Delicious all-around and I have no complaints about the taste. However, I haven't tried anything else, so be forewarned.

    Wish this was also still a late night joint . But breakfast is always worth the wait and tourist elbows. Ahi and eggs, pancakes, crepes, and coffee.

  • Mike C.

    Slightly undercooked omelets but solid pineapple pancakes. Overall, definitely not worth the wait when you consider there are better options in the area with just as good food. I'd rather go to the Shorebird down the street and just get the breakfast buffet and get a gorgeous ocean view while I'm at it. Service is spotty and I was offended when my runny white egg omelet was identified as mozzarella cheese. Sigh. i wanted to like this place, but alas, it seems to be more Japanese tourist attraction that great breakfast place.

  • Mina F.

    Pretty good pancakes. I like the one with strawberry & whip cream. Eggs are good too but this place to me is a little overrated, full of tourists. To me, not worth the wait.

  • Ronnie W.

    Great food and good price for Waikiki. Like everyone else says, Awesome pancakes. We ate here several times during our stay in Waikiki. The menu states that you can "upgrade" your standard pancake side dish of nearly every breakfast on the menu for a slight up charge. It turns out it is either $2.75 or $3.25 to upgrade based on the type of upgrade you choose. All of the different upgraded pancakes are so delicious. Service was fast and friendly. We will eat there again and again.

  • Amelia S.

    Wow! Macadamia Pancakes...yummy! Friendly waiters...but patience is necessary! You check in on Saratoga St across from Post Office, wait about 30 minutes and then go up stairs around the side of building! Well worth the wait!

    Great huge fluffy pancakes. Pricy but you can split an order between two people and you'll still be full!

    Never been to the restaurant... always too long of a wait. BUT I did get my hands on some pancake mix from Eggs n' Things and it was oh so yummy! So if you don't want to wait in line, just get some mix and pop some spam and eggs on the side and you've got an ono breakfast right in your own home.

  • James W.

    Decent breakfast, nothing special on the taste front. Sweet staff, lots of Japanese tourists, fun to people watch. Reasonable price, but IMO, not worth the waiting time.

  • nanu b.

    Eggs n Things is a very popular breakfast place so take time out for this place. We both arrived here around 10.30AM on a weekday and were seated at around 11.15AM. Coming to the food...hubby had the portuguese sausage with pancakes ($9ish) and I had the omlette with macadamia nuts pancakes ($11)...huge portions...this place is known for the pancakes and they were very good...light fluffy (each of us was given 3 pancakes...a lot). We both loved the Portuguese sausage...had a good bite and spicyness to it. Service and staff was very efficient. The most interesting staff is the guy who puts you on the wait list (on the street level) as he rattles off first in Japanese (hugely popular place with Japanese tourists) and then English. funny guy.

    (4)

  • Grace C.

    Yes, the wait is long. That's why you go at 7AM in the morning and with only one other person. Eggs 'N Things serve the best eggs. I don't know what they put in them or how they cook them, but they're just really fresh eggs with perfect texture. I ordered the eggs benedict w/potatoes and a waffle on the side. The waffle was freakin awesome and crispy topped with whipped cream w/macadamia nuts sprinkled on top. And the potatoes were super tasty, so much so that my boyfriend kept stealing them. Why can't all breakfast places be this awesome? Minus one star because the service is kind of bleh.

    This place is overrated and not worth the 45 minute wait or the price. Denny's has much better value, service, selection and food quality. Avoid!

  • Christine L.

    There is no better place to go have some munchies after a night of drinking. I always get their crepes filled with blueberries and sour cream. YUMMY! Don't forget to add a side of spam please! Eggs and Things is always worth the wait, but honestly if you go in the late hours of the evening it isn't so bad. Its the ten am crowd on a Saturday that gets screwed. I've waited for over an hour before, but its totally worth it. Their coffee unfortunately has never been my things so I stick to hot chocolate which they generously add whipped cream to. So delicious!

  • Tammy T.

    Really long wait, about 45 minutes; we went around 8:30ish. The wait wasn't that bad because I had good company to talk story with. I got the Vegetable omelette, (with Canadian Bacon) thinking it was an OMELETTE. For some reason, I always thought omelettes were eggs mixed with your choice of meat or vegetable. Heck I will even settle of a taco like thing, where the omelette folds around the inner items; like a sleeping bag..What I got was a thin blanket of egg laying on my vegetables?!?. As if to keep them warm on a cold night. Not what I expected at all! My vegetables looks sad and not fresh. Bacon was good though, but it was in circle form rather then chopped up. I guess had I checked out the pictures on Yelp first, I wouldn't have been so thrown off (my bad). I guess with all the waiting, and all the hype about this place I had some expectation. I won't be back, the wait isn't worth the food, nor is the search for parking. I had the rating at 2 stars, till I realized that nothing really made it worth it. I wouldn't recommend it for breakfast, the syrup was okay, till I realized I had a drizzle on a piece of pancake and found it too sweet. A drizzle?...sorry eggs 'n things...you really are just eggs and things...

    I was in Wakiki with friends for 5 days and we went to Eggs & Things for breakfast twice! Yes, there was a wait. It was about 30 minutes each time but we found that most places in Wakiki that were worth eating at made you wait. I ordered the eggs benedict the first time and an omlete the second time. My friends ordered pancakes and omeletes. I stole little bits of theirs and enjoyed their pancakes so much that I bought a big bag of the mix to bring back home. My friends were pretty much the only caucasions in the restaurant. When meals came out, happy diners would give the waiter their camera and hold up peace signs for their photo with their food. Monkey see monkey do. It was a relaxing atmosphere and the food was commendable. I would definitely go back again. The was also an sweet elderly waitress who made me giggle. She called us babies. "What would you babies like for breakfast today?"

  • Erin S.

    Yummy yummy yummy!!! Loved this breakfast place! It was a long, long wait...but then I figured, if this many people are waiting to eat here, it must be good. The food was freshly made, definitely one of the best omelets I've ever eaten. My husband had the Portuguese sausage and he said it was very good. I was impressed at how efficient this place was run, with such a limited staff. Once we put the order in, we were seated quickly and got our food quickly. At the end, I really didn't mind the initial wait.

  • David L.

    Eggs 'N things was by far the best breakfast we had in Waikiki. We both had banana pancakes with coconut syrup. They were out of this world. There is a caveat with this place. You have to get there before 8 am. There will still be a 10 minute wait or so but if you go any later, it will take forever to get seated.

  • Christina C.

    I LOOOVE breakfast food, so when I heard about this place I knew I had to try it while I was in Hawaii. The best thing about my breakfast was the strawberry pancakes.

  • Beerent G.

    I shoulda listened when I saw the low ratings for this place. My wife ordered a ham cheese mushroom onion omelet and it didn't even look like a omelet nor tasted good. The egg was rubbery kinda like what they serve in a army cafeteria. My pancakes were super doughy had cut with a knife. Also the waitress didn't even ask if we needed shoyu or tabasco. If you have alot of money and want crappy food with excellent coffee service and a 10-15% military discount then I highly recommend this place to you. Koa Pancake House is the place to go!

  • Joey L.

    Expensive! I suppose they shop for their eggs and milk at the same safeway i do because their prices are very high for breakfast items. If you have money to burn then check this place out, if not i'd recommend making breakfast at home and saving $30 bucks!

    We are still talking about Eggs n Things. This place was the happening spot on a Sunday morning for breakfast. It was our last day in Hawaii... and we are both Breakfast lovers. We waited about an hour to be seated. It was worth the wait. We shared an omelet and the Macadamia Nut Waffle. The syrups were delicious. Coconut Syrup, Guava Syrup... and maple. Screw the maple, you can get that in California. We were in heaven. So, we're still around town when it's dinner time. Where the heck do you think we ate at for dinner, on the SAME DAY??? Yep. Eggs n Things. We went back for dinner. Got another omelet... and I got a dinner special with, of course, the pancakes as a side JUST so I can drench it in Coconut Syrup. The staff were all very nice. The place was nice. We sat on the balcony for dinner. Breakfast was a little crammed but the food made it all better. Can't wait to go back to Hawaii to have more Mac Nut Waffles!

  • Mr. I.

    This place blew my socks off.. Im a very hard person to please.. Im very picky with my food and always open to new things.. Thanks to yelp I was able to find this place down the street from where I was staying for a couple of nights in Waikiki before we left to North Shore. We walked over to this place from Parc Hotel, which is only a couple of streets down.. It is also a nice walk, you have tons of things to distract you, like shopping, shopping, shopping and more shopping..... But be prepared to wait a good 45 minutes outside this place for a good seat. This place seems to be packed all the time. We heard so many good things about this place, I didnt mind the wait at all. But I warn you about the over grown hairy smelly hippie that owns the god awful dumb pot smoking hippie all natural herb store below/in front of the cafe. This guy is a class act, he is rude and will ask you to clear the path of his store so no one blocks his view and people from seeing his store from the sidewalk. He will shoooooo you away like birds eating a pile of seeds.. The food was great.... The eggs where cooked perfectly!!! The pancakes were one of the best ive ever had!! Use the guava syrup with the pancakes and you will thank me later.. I ended up drinking the guava syrup after I had one taste!! The Coconut syrup wasnt that great but Im sure its good, just compared to the others it didnt have a chance! The crepes were to die for.. I dont think ive had anything better than those black cherry creme filled things!! So I highly recommend this place!!! Perhaps the best breakfast / brunch place in the downtown area!

  • Hannah K.

    For the amount of money you pay, the amount of food you get is ridiculous. The omelets are huge, and they come with a side of pancakes. I thought it would be like 1 pancake on the side, but they give you a legit 3 short stack. The pancakes are ok, but the coconut syrup is amazing! But there is always a wait, so be prepared to kill 20 minutes or go early in the morning.

  • Matthew M.

    Excellent food aand good prices, just get here early!!! If you don't make it early you will have to wait a long time. This is the second location for them which is way bigger than the original spot but still not big enough. The food is always excellent. Pancakes, Hawaiian french toast, Ahi and eggs and the best fruit cups around. Coconut syrup makes everything taste better too!! My family and I eat here every morning when we are in Honolulu!!

    (5)

  • Allie B.

    This place was recommended to my friend and I by a hotel concierge. She didn't tell us much, but said it was a good locals spot. The wait was pretty long, about an hour both times we went. There were many tourists, and we started to think that maybe all concierges recommend this restaurant. Anyways, the wait was well worth it. The breakfasts we ordered were delicious, and the guava and coconut pancake syrups are heavenly (you can also buy them for your trip home). We ended up going two days in a row and ordering different things both times. I would recommend the pancakes (of course) and the omelets and hash browns. Delicious!

  • Mike O.

    If I could give 6 stars I would. First off, as others mentioned, there was a bit of a wait, even on a Monday morning in August. But it was right around 45 minutes as they said it would be. And the guy giving out pagers and taking names was very entertaining and made the time go by quicker. Once we were seated, they were very efficient. They had a high chair ready for our daughter and someone was ready to take our drink orders as we were getting situated. The food order was very timely and oh man the food. I had the bacon and potato omelette with the macadamia nut pancakes. My wife had the spinach, bacon cheese omelette with the strawberries and whipped cream pancakes with mac nuts on top. Everything was absolutely delicious, even the fresh squeezed orange juice. Hopefully this rating contributes to a higher rating overall, I can't believe horrible Denny's has the same rating. We were joking that we were thankful we went to this place at the end of our vacation since we'd be back every morning and gain 100 pounds. This place is SO much better than all the corporate chain restaurants in the area. A two hour wait time even would have been worth it.

  • Jackie T.

    Was cool that Eddie knew how to speak a lot in Japanese. He told us that it would be a 15-25 min wait for 2. But it was only a few mins. so that was great. I really did not like where they seated us. Near the balcony in those VERY uncomfortable high chairs. I was not having it. I ordered their Minced Portuguese sausage w/green onions and scrambled eggs. I wanted with rice-- they gave me potatoes. We ordered their Macadamia Nut pancakes but I thought it was just mediocre. Perhaps my experience with this place would've been a lot better if the seating arrangement was better.

    (3)

  • Stephanie W.

    Omg! Macadamian nut pancakes are so delish. Their syrup goes so perfectly well with the pancakes... First I tried the maple, that was good! 'Then I tried the guava and that was awesome.... Lastly I tried the coconut... good but not my fave...Their orange juice is probably the best juice I've ever had... I mean it cost a mire $5.95 for a large... guy told me they have it delivered every morning.... and it tasted that way...

    (4)

  • Markus S.

    This is a great breakfest spot. Be warned, it is one of the most popular, so you will end up waiting a while, so get there really early. I have the mac nut pancakes with scrambled eggs and links. Filling and with drink came out to $12.

  • R B.

    I visited this place when it used to be on Kalakaua Ave. in Waikiki and just around the corner from where I had stayed, so I hit this place every morning. I tried the pancakes, eggs, portuguese sausage, waffles and of course, SPAM...don't hate!! It's a local thing and I grew up eating spam, eggs 'n rice. Everything I had at this place was delicious and they pile on the whipped cream over the pancakes and waffles! It reached my chin after they placed my plate on the table. The only thing is the long wait to get seated since it's a popular tourist spot for breakfast. Don't forget to have a cup of house coffee (Kona, of course). Gotta love the aroma and taste of freshly brewed Kona.

    (4)

  • David D.

    I've noticed that their rating drops every time I've eaten there and each time the food is a little more fast foodish. Too long a wait for mediocrity. Somebody rescue this business. Used to be great. The shop next door was fun though. My girlfriend bought a couple of cool dresses. So, this restaurant is a fairly good place to shop for clothes.

    I love breakfast. Breakfast is the only meal you can have at anytime of the day and it doesn't matter. And this is the place for any breakfast lover, like myself, to go! I came across Eggs n' Things on a tour to Pearl Harbor. The tour guide drove by and suggested to try the place out. I noticed on Saturday morning at 7 am this place was already busy. I knew I had to come here my last day at Oahu. I arrived early Sunday morning at 7 am, and was lucky enough to get a seat on the bar facing the street. I was overwhelmed by the menu, I had no idea what I wanted to order. I decided to get crispy bacon, eggs and pancakes. OMG, I was in heaven. The pancakes were delicious, they were moist yet firm and full of flavor. The syrups are amazing, they have coconut, guava and maple. I tried them all, I couldn't help it. Overall, the service was nice and fast. As I was leaving, I noticed the long wait. I recommend arriving early in the morning if you want to come for breakfast or around lunch/dinner time. My only regret was I didn't find out about this place on the first day. Can't wait to come back!!!

  • Anna P.

    Okay, we used to go there relatively often when they were still in the old location. Now we were having staycation at Embassy Suites and we thought let's go there for breakfast. Bad, bad choice. I do not know what has happened, but it was pretty bad experience. This was Thursday morning and we arrived around 9 am and we had to wait about 40 minutes. Once we were seated, we got a waitress that was not having a good day. When I asked if my daughter could have a plain waffle with powdered sugar sprinkled on it she said that I had to pay 50-75 cents for it. WHAAT!! You are kidding me. Just sprinkle some powdered sugar on the damn waffle will you. Granted it said on the menu "Plain waffle (no powdered sugar on top)", but geez....I think your business could survive the 1 teaspoon forth of powdered sugar. I guess they don't care about kamaaina customers - only Japanese tourist coming in once a year....I don't think I will be back.

  • r y.

    This was my second visit. I went when it first opened at 6 so there was no wait. (last time we came around 10 and waited 75 minutes). I have the eggs and vienna sausage with coconut pancakes. (I meant to order the portugese sausage. I'm not a fan of vienna but that's my fault) The eggs were scrambled just right and the pancakes are fluffy and cake like. Yum. I'm coming back again on my next visit to Waikiki.

  • Steve H.

    NOT WORTH THE WAIT. There is always a long line to be seated here so my wife and I figured the food must be great....absolutely not the case. After waiting 40 minutes to be seated (host said it would only be 20 minute wait) they seated us at a small counter squeezed behind the drink fountain. We asked to wait for a booth or bigger table but they refused and offered us to share a table with another couple. there were several couples enjoying their own booth so we asked to speak with the manager. The owner/manager reluctantly came over while rolling his eyes and provided plenty of attitude but no remedy. We made due squeezed behind the counter and had eggs, bacon, and pancakes. The eggs were burnt, the bacon soggy, and the pancakes were uninspired. They obviously take advantage of the fact that there clientele in Waikiki are tourists so they don't have to rely on return customers. We will not be back.

  • Surai J.

    The only souvenier I brought back was a bag of pancake mix and a bottle of coconut syrup. Seriously, it would be worth exceeding the luggage weight limit to bring back bags of this stuff. So light, unlike any pancake I've tried before and the coconut syrup, just a bit of tartiness to temper the sugar overload. Now, if only I can find some toasted mac nuts, I'd have the real thing. TIP: the cashier told me to let the batter sit for an hour after mixing with water. She was right! The longer you let it sit, the fluffier the pancakes!

  • Kimberly M.

    It was a 45min wait for us on a Monday morning at 7:50am. We felt like we were the only non Japanese waiting for a table. Sidenote if you have a long wait: grab your coffee from Kimobean next door. Their mochas are awesomely chocolatey and they've got chairs to sit on while you wait. (subsequently, if you can't wait for eggs n things, kimo's waffles looked yummy at 1/2 the price). We were squished into a two top upstairs. It was hot. But we didn't come for the ambiance so we kept an open mind. I tried to order the mac waffles with a side of eggs. The waiter talked me out of it to get the egg/pancake/bacon combo. For those interested: mac pancakes =$7.50 for 5 pancakes. Side of two eggs=$3.50 Combo comes with 2 eggs, 3 pancake & 4 strips of turkey bacon (or bacon if you prefer). $8.95+$2.95 upgrade for the fancy pancake. The 3 pancakes and eggs was perfect. My husband just had the pancake and it was so sweet he could only finish 4 of them. The much-touted macadamia pancakes: ok they're good. Fluffy yet chewy. Sweet enough to eat without syrup. But I ended up favoring the coconut syrup the most. The plain was prob just corn syrup. The guava syrup was really sweet- couldn't taste the guavaness. Overall the pancakes are highly recommended but the wait doesn't seem worth it.

  • Madeleine K.

    The portions are huge and the selection is mind-boggling. We went to Eggs 'N Things on a Wednesday morning, the last day of our trip to Oahu. My fiance and I went with two other folks and we all had a good experience. I had the Benedict Florentine (wilted spinach and mushrooms) with a side of pancakes (a big stack of three) and my fiance had the Loco Moco, our friends had the Eggs Benedict with a side of rice and an a huge omelet with a side of home fries. We all shared a side of papaya and pineapple, too but I think we would have been more than ok without them. We were all very happy with our dishes but I have to say again that the portions were so so big. The staff were so friendly and efficient. It was another great Honolulu establishment.

  • BOOYAA P.

    Over priced? Only if you don't think paying a few extra bucks for great pancake is not worth your time and money. We waited exactly one hour and paid $30 for two people. All I can say is I walked away happy.

  • Elaine C.

    To be honest, I'm not really big on pancakes, but wow...their macadamia nut pancakes are so worth the calories. The nuts are not sprinkled on top - it is actually in the batter. And you have the option of the original, guava, or coconut syrup. The coconut syrup is the popular one. For those who are afraid to try different things, this is the time to change that; where else are you going to get coconut or guava syrup? It's part of the experience here, so please do not use the original syrup. Other things that we ordered: Steak & eggs (under meat & eggs) - It was like any other steak & eggs...not bad, but nothing special. Minced port. sausage, ham, spam, or bacon w/ green onions & scrambled eggs (under specials 'n things) - Do not be deceived - you get one of the meat options listed, not everything. It was probably too early in the morning for us because we thought it was everything. This dish was okay too. Spinach, bacon & cheese (under omelets) - My favorite of the egg breakfast dishes. Blueberry whip cream w/ nuts waffle (under waffles) - My overall favorite dish. They only give one waffle, but it is one big waffle. The waffle is very thin and crispy, just the way I like it. And they do not skimp on the blueberries or the whip cream. There were enough blueberries to fill in every pocket of the waffle. And the whip cream was 4 to 5 inches high!! I ate my waffle without the syrup - just the whip cream and blueberries was a burst of flavors in itself. All of this was shared between three people. We were going to order more, but the waiter was very helpful and told us that it was a lot of food already and said that we could actually upgrade the pancakes that came with our omelet to their specialty pancakes. Our time spent eating all of this was actually shorter than our wait for a table. We got here a little after 8:00 and our wait was 45 minutes long, so be prepared to wait if you can't get up early. And after you try their breakfast, you can pick up some souvenirs downstairs - they have pancake batter, their signature syrups, ground coffee, and other goodies, such as t-shirts, etc.

    Had breakfast for the first time. My old boss raves about this place and he was spot on.Wife and I both had ommlets and the Mac Nut Pancake was out of this world,it was the best I have ever eaten. Struck up a conversation with "Harold" the Mgr and told him how great this place is.We will be back again.

    Luckily we only had to wait for 10-15 minutes on a saturday.Theres mostly japanese tourist. Thats kinda funny I dont know why. I had blueberry pancakes. They were good. The coconut syrup was tasty.

    No longer the go to place for locals, eggs n things caters exclusively to tourists. After getting off a late shift one used to be able to count on an amazingly tasty omelet in the wee hours, ready for pick up after a quick call in on the way home. Well now forget about a midnight snack. and if you try during regular hours prepare to wait over an hour. And The new restaurant is in the heart of Waikiki so have fun finding a parking space. Better stay home and cook one up yourself.

    Macadamia nut pancakes and guava juice are a must while your in Hawaii. And Eggs 'N Things are scrumdiddilyumptious!! We did try other things on the menu but, the mac pancakes are the only thing we would come back for. FYI... the wait is crazy during breakfast!!! No RSVP and make sure your whole party is there or you will not be seated! We almost got kicked out of our table because my husband went to the bathroom instead of being seated first! My suggestion...Park in the garage, meters won't last the wait, use the potty before your buzzer goes off or even better go during non-breakfast hours!

    Overrated! Pretentious. Head count before they seat you. $2.25 for toast with your eggs. Service is rushed to get you out quickly. Food was fine but not worth the arrogance or the wait. Go to Cream Pot instead.

    I was very excited to go to Eggs 'N Things! I'm always on a misson to find fantastic pancakes. After waiting for a solid hour I was starving. My mom and I were sat at a tiny table overlooking the post office that is across the street. We were crammed on top of the people next to us. I ordered the pancakes, of course! They were good...I've had better. The coffee was awesome. Our waitress took a little warming up to...she seemed uninterested in serving anyone. I say if there's no wait go for it...otherwise there probably somewhere else to go

    I woke up earlyso I thought I'd try this place and maybe there won't be a long wait. Got there around 7:45 a.m. and..... there is still a wait. Waited about 40 minutes before I got in. Ordered the portugese sausage and eggs with a side of macadamia nut pancakes. Is this worth a 40 minute wait and probably more if you get there any later than 7 a.m.? NO! But the food I got was pretty good. The portugese sausage had that nice char on it that gives it a good smokey flavor. The macadmia nut pancakes were pretty tasty and I really enjoyed both the coconut syrup and the guava syrup. For us mainlanders we usually don't get these kinds of pancake syrups so I thought that it really gave the pancakes a different taste. A good experience except for the wait.

    Amazing!!! The ahi tuna plate with eggs ... OMG!! The waiter suggested the jalapeño Tabasco sauce with it ... I was in heaven! Oh and the macadamia nut pancakes with Coconut syrup ... SO worth the sugar coma! A must to go when visiting the island!!

  • Joe S.

    Possibly the best pancakes I ever had. I got the chocolate chip pancakes. They brought it out on a big plate with 5 decent sized pancakes covered with chocolate chips and powdered sugar. After smothering it with coconut syrup, I was in heaven. The banana crepes weren't the greatest but not bad either. My wife got spam and eggs with a side of Macadamia Nut pancakes. Both were very tasty. The only reason why I didn't give 5 stars was because of the huge wait that we had. 45 minutes at 8am. This place is certainly the place to go for breakfast in oahu but be prepared to wait because it seems like everyone on the island wants to eat there as well.

  • Danny L.

    Way overrated! I thought the system was dumb. First you wait in line to order then you have to pay. If you order drinks the cashier gives you cups for self serve. Then you wait in line to be seated. FYI get your drink after being seated we lost our place in line because we got our coffee first. Food wasn't anything special I ordered the mushrooms and spinach omlette with strawberry pancakes. My gf got the crab cake which was ok with chocolate chip pancakes. Pancakes were fluffy but nothing special unless you consider finding a hair special......I told a worker named Keith who was sincere in his apology and offered something else but I didn't have an appetite after seeing the hair in my food. I was told that the manager would refund my money which was true but sadley I had to flag down the waiter and the cashier just to get my money. Not worth the wait or food. Better off going to Denny's or I hop

    Sometimes the best things are worth waiting for. Unless you're extremely lucky, chances are you'll have to wait for a table regardless of what time it is. If your breakfast cravings are motivation enough to brave Waikiki then this is definitely the place to go. I'm a fan if their silver dollar pancakes with pink syrup or a good old corned beef and hash with their house made salsa. Of course if you're feeling indulgent, you can always go for a stack if pancakes piled high with whipped cream and take a picture with it like the touristy girls. I miss eggs and things being open late night and their hours are weird now but it's no doubt that their breakfast is delicious. I think they might have a parking arrangement with the Hawaii Monarch hotel but I'm not sure. Other than that, parking is pretty tough.

    This is a solid breakfast place. No matter what time you go, there is a long line. Be warned. The pancakes are awesome. Moist and delicious. I like mine plain with a little syrup without the mile high whip cream. Hubby said the omelet was awesome. Service was frienldy, fast, and efficient. We'll be back next time we're in HI.

    This place gets crazy packed at around 8am. Luckily, we were up early due to not being used to the time change and decided to head there at 6am (right when it opened). Portions are HUGE! And the guava syrup is yummy! I ordered the waffles.. which aren't like the traditional belgian waffles but more like big eggos. Which was still good since they saturate it with whipped cream, oh my!

    Every time I visit Oahu I go to Eggs n Things. I know it gets crowded but after being told the wait for two for breakfast was an hour long I was pretty bummed and we left. But then we tried again at night and were seated right away. The Mac nut pancakes are amazing. The corned beef was so-so. Service was great.

  • Kaye M.

    Eggs N Things is walking distance from most of the hotels on the West side of the Waikiki strip. And trust me...GURL...you are going to need to do some walking! We got there realllllly early, thank goodness, and there was zero wait time! By the time we left...that was SO not the case. Our server was the sweetest woman. Just the absolute sweetest-petitest-friendliest-nicest-cutest-­funnest-adorablest little woman. I had the bacon, tomato, spinach omelette with PEPPERJACK CHEEZZZZ!!! It was so good. I really like how they give you a choice of cheese for all the omelets. I mean, I'm sure any place would change it for you, but they ask, so that I don't have to remember to. The omelette was the size of a plate! The egg was nice and thin. Bacon was sooo crisp! She gave me some bomb salsa to go with it! The pancakes were amazing!!!! So light and fluffy, and yummy! The coconut syrup was good.. but to be honest, that was the only part of the hype I didn't understand. Oh well. We wanted to come back, but the wait was 45 minutes and we were both cranky with hunger. How sad...

  • Tracy M.

    Whyyyy did we have to wait so long here for mediocre food? I do NOT know. They have a pretty large menu, but so do most other breakfast places. Their syrups are supposedly very unique (guava and coconut flavor) but they just kind of taste like thick sweet maple syrup minus the maple flavoring...=P I would much rather just to to IHOP or Denny's..and I don't even like IHOP or Denny's...

    This is a great place for a hearty breakfast. If you are lucky, you'll get a seat overlooking the streets below, but 8:00 was too late on the Thursday morning that we went. We waited over an hour to sit, but I was still glad I did. I had the portuguese sausages and eggs with some macadamia nut pancakes. The sausages and eggs were good, but the pancakes were superb - light, fluffy, with holes to hold the syrup. And the coconut syrup went perfectly with the pancakes. I also liked the guava juice; it was thick and fresh!

  • megan m.

    This is a good breakfast place. Between the three of us we had the Chocolate chip waffles, strawberry crepes, macadamia nut pancakes, the special of the day which was a smokey pork chop with pineapple glaze, and eggs both scrambled and fried over medium. The waffle came out hard as a rock first and we had to send it back for something edible. It is just a thin waffle with chocolate chips scattered on top, pretty disappointing but my 11 year old liked it. The crepes were okay, my 8 year old liked them, but they are not spectacular and I've had better. They come with fruit that is just so-so defrosted frozen fruit. I wasn't very impressed with either of those meals. My meal, however, was great. I had the special which was 11.95 and included the aforementioned pork chop, 2 eggs, and a short stack of pancakes which I upgraded from plain to macadamia nut for 2.75...worth it!! I loved all parts of my meal. The price was good for what I got. The kids, not so much and I felt we were overpaying for their items, especially that sad waffle. We had to order eggs a la cart for them because they don't come with the waffle/crepe/pancake meals. We also were told it was a 30-45 minute wait but they got us in after 10 minutes. The place is nice and open and bright and very clean. They did cram the three of us into a 2 person table but it worked out... It is crowded tho. Staff was nice enough. There are cheaper breakfast places in Waikiki but if you get the special, it's more for your money.

    i definitely wanted to try the macadamia nut pancakes at eggs 'n things before hitting up another infamous hawaiian spot the following day for comparison. we first tried coming here for sunday brunch and it was packed! the hostess said the wait would be anywhere from an hour to an hour and a half. we were starving and didn't want to wait that long, so we came back to eggs 'n things the next day (monday) for dinner around 8pm. on this particular night, we were told that the wait for 3 diners was about 30-45 minutes, and they gave us a pager that still worked down the block (by Tiffany's). so we decided to shop a bit nearby while waiting for our table. we came back to the restaurant after 25 minutes, and we sat down about 10 minutes after that. i ordered the spinach, bacon, and cheese omelet and upgraded my pancakes to the macadamia nut pancakes with coconut syrup. the food was hearty and delish. the pancakes gave you a good hint of macadamia nuts in every bite. of the other notable items that were ordered at our table, someone ordered the hawaiian loco moco (special). although loco moco's really aren't my thing, i had to take a bite (or two or three) of this loco moco because the gravy was topped with shreds of corned beef, pieces of spam, and mushrooms. very, very tasty stuff! a note about service and price. everyone from the host, waitress, and cashier were friendly and attentive. so no complaints here. price was moderate and affordable, so i felt we got some bang for our buck. in summation, be prepared to wait, but maybe not worth more than an hour wait.

    finally got to eat here since they opened at their new location. the food here is consistent with the last location. we ordered the eggs benedict one of my favorites on the island. potato bacon and cheese omelet with pancakes. food was excellent! i wouldve gave it stars for the food but had to knock it down for 3 reasons. 1 this place now has 0 parking. you can either look for street parking, park at fort de russy and walk. or park at the post office across the street and hope you dont get towed. 2 because of the partial open air balcony type restaurant that it is, the sun is blazing and this place feels like an oven. they need improvements in the ac 3 one of the workers here, kept trying to talk to every japanese girl there. and i mean he was doing it stalker style. he had 0 game, and we couldnt help but laugh at him. its kind of bad to see this going on in this kind of establishment. the dude was kinda weird. im sure hes is gonna get fired quick. lol

  • Gianna R.

    Everything I've had here has been delicious! Although, my favorite by far is their Fried Rice. It's not a regular item on their menu, they'll have it as a special every once in a while...but when they do...YUMMY!

    Pretty hugemanganous portions. Pretty much kanak attack after you pound pancakes or omelettes. Haha. Food was good. The omlette was huge and I swear it came with 3 whole potatoes. My plate was bigger than my fiance's. How embarassing. Haha. Awesome choices. Lots of tourist but no big deal. Choke local people working there. Breakfast is great there. Prices a little high but hey its Waikiki. Overall awesome!

    I was so excited when seeing a long line of Japanese tourist waiting for a table. I said to myself, this place must be very good. Yelp had great reviews and the locals said it is their favorite. Again, I am proven wrong. After waiting for over 1 hour, I followed the waiter's advice and ordered a loco moco specials. Everything was overcooked and tasteless. My wife ordered the macadamia nut pancake and it was just average. $30 for an average breakfast with a long wait, I'll pass next time. Very dissapointed.

    I ate at Eggs 'N Things on Memorial day 5/31/2010 at around 9am with a few of my friends. The wait was about an hour, which wasn't too bad. The guy at the counter seemed quite convinced that this was the best place to eat, he even said that we could quote him. I ordered the special omelette (Eggs, Mushroom, Ham, Onion), Fresh Guava Juice and upgraded to Macademia Nut Pancakes. My boyfriend ordered the Ahi Steak. The omelettes were good, but they weren't all the rave that I was hoping for. The syrup for the pancakes seemed wattery, so our group stuck to the maple syrup. The pancakes were yummy, so I wasn't too disappointed. The guava juice and ahi steak (super juicy, cooked perfectly) was awesome too! In all, I would definitely come back one day.

  • Aziem K.

    We've been wanting to try this place for the longest time because we always see lines and lines of people. We wanted to check what the big deal is all about. To our disappointment, this place is not at all the hype! We were seated next to this super small table, next to some random couple. We asked for another seat and we were offered some seat by the lanai that had a bar stool. Strike one. The price of the food on the menu is not cheap either. So we decided to order a vegetarian omelet. My partner doesn't eat mushrooms, so we asked kindly if they were to put it on the side. He checked with the chef and the chef said that he couldn't put an ingredient on the side! Strike 2. We also wanted to order a pancake as our dessert and the server told us that we can't do that because the kitchen takes order all at once! That doesn't even make sense! So if we were to order something else later because we're still hungry, they couldn't do it?? That's our strike 3! To top it all off, when we got our eggs, the omelet was runny!! They're an egg breakfast place and can't even cook omelets?? Our server was really apologetic and took it off our menu and was really nice despite us being agitated with the whole experience. Oh, if you wanted to pay like 3 bucks more for a mile high whip cream with some chopped up macadamia nuts on an average flavored pancakes, go ahead. (They say that their pancakes are the ones that made them famous. It wasn't that great!). I would not recommend this place after today's fiasco. Never will we return there again!

  • Vanessa R.

    First of all, you need to know there is a wait for this place. Take the advice of these other yelpers and get there before 8 AM. We were told it would be a 45 minute to an hour wait. We waited exactly an hour. The place is very small and compact. I had the spinach, bacon, and cheese omelette and the bf had the portugese sausage omelette. Both were delish. We also shared the banana shortstack pancakes. What really made these pancakes was the coconut syrup. This is a must try! They also have a guava syrup, but the coconut one is my favorite. I ended up buying a bottle of it to take home to the mainland. The service is quick and the busboy is very entertaining. As we were leaving, we were talking to one of the hosts about our meal and he gave us a great tip for next time. He said he upgrades his pancakes twice to banana chocolate chip pancakes instead of once which he said no one ever thinks about.

  • Jeff M.

    Food is good, best breakfast in Waikiki, but the wait is just stupid unless you get there by 7am. I was told the wait would be 45 minutes and it was almost 2 hours. They have no clue how to estimate the time to get a table and they aren't nice about it. Get there early, if not skip it.

  • Katie W.

    Went in solo, was told there'd be a 30 minute wait, but was seated at the counter with a great view after less than 5. Coffee was less than stellar, but the blueberry waffle topped with fresh whipped cream and macadamia nuts made up for it. Nearby tables offered glimpses at other menu items, and had me wishing I could try a little of everything. The omelets looked gloriously huge and cheesy and stuffed with goods. Service was perfect, and I left feeling more than satisfied. Nothing too inventive about the menu, but they seem to be great at what they do.

    When you have eggs in the title you would think that you would nail that best. After waiting 50 minutes to sit I took a look down at the runny egg dish to the person who was sitting 6 inches away from me and they looked disgusting. And I am serious about sitting 6 inches away. We got sat at the balcony which is kind of like sitting at a crowded bar. It would have been fine but I didn't enjoy not being able to move my arms and having birds eat my neighbors left over food next to me. I swear that I didn't see enough people waiting to sit to wait 50 minutes. Burned me up that there was an empty table behind us for at least 20 minutes that I could have looked at my wife instead of birds trying to get at my food. I had sweet bread french toast which was actually good. The eggs next to me made me want to go nowhere near them. My wife got the eggs and she was totally disappointed. She said they were rubbery. I NEVER got one coffee refill (something that drives me insane and is the easiest thing to do). The waitress was all but nonexistent and the cashier was completely unfriendly and didn't say a word until giving me a receipt and saying thank you. We come to Honolulu once a year and servers are always so friendly. The service here just threw me off. Eggs N' Things......go for the things or avoid this completely.

    Don't know what the fuss is about. After a 15 minute wait, at 7 AM, I got a table. Service was prompt and businesslike. I ordered a well-done omelet, and for type of cheese I chose mozzarella. My food came quickly, but the omelet had cheddar cheese and was not well-done. Waited a minute or two but couldn't flag down a wait-person, so I ate it. This place had nothing exceptional IMHO - no great home-baked goods, coffee was adequate, but not served in a heated mug, tea choice was Lipton. Overall, I could have done just as well, food and price, at my hotel.

  • Auzon A.

    I didn't love it. We went here cuz we were passing by at 7am being we're on CA time so we were up early & we checked all the yelp reviews which this place got good reviews. The blueberry pancakes were OK, but i wouldnt say they're to die for. What killed me was my guava juice was $7, more than my breakfast!!! I should have paid attention to the pricing, but its just crazy. So i got my complimentary guava juice from the hotel continental breakfast the rest of the week. My husband had a regular breakfast with bacon, eggs & pancakes, he also agreed it was only ok & that this place is just overpriced.

    Yes, the wait is long. However, that's where bad news stops and great food begins. I ordered an omelet with bacon, spinach, and cheese, which was outstanding. Also, the order came with some pancakes... I am not usually a fan, but these were truly amazing. Also, wife had eggs ove fried rice, which was fantastic. Fresh guava and orange juices made great additions. Well worth the wait.

  • Christina F.

    On my trip to Oahu we stopped by this place. Best pancakes I have ever tasted. I ordered the Banana Pancakes. They were huge, thick and puffy, with a generous helping of bananas. So delicious I dream of them. Topped with their coconut syrup. Now that is how a pancake should be. I asked if they could add coconut to the pancake cause they had coconut pancakes on the menu, they said no. Why not?? Oh well. The restaurant was cute and clean. The restaurant was also small and crowded. With the popularity of the place they should expand or have somewhere where their overflow of customers waiting can sit. Food was a good price, did not feel over charged for the meal. Now here is the down side. They sell the syrups and pancake mix that you can take home. I took one of each home. The coconut syrup was a nice treat to use in my home to make me long for the islands once again. I was so excited to have the pancake mix too. I think this small bag of mix was around $6. Went to make the pancake which required water only. WOW! It made the flattest most disgusting pancake ever. The mix only made 2 medium size pancakes and I still had 1/4 left over to make another serving. What can you do with 1/4 amount of flour? At least give enough to make full portions. But with the horrible taste of the pancake it was ok to waste the rest. Will I be back? Defiantely. If the island wasn't so beautiful I would still just go back for the pancakes. But now I will know not to waste money on the pancake mix there. It is no where near the pancake that is served to you at the restaurant.

    The guy at our hotel recommended this place and it was amazing! I had the best pancakes I have ever had! They were so good that I continued eating even after I was painfully full. It was too good to waste! :) Expect a wait, but it is well worth it. And at least taste the coconut syrup. Yum!

  • Quailty P.

    overrated. checked out yelp to see what to order, so we got the waffles n not the pancakes. Only thing good was the coconut syrup on the table. so you can order anything and just use the syrup. I ordered the cajun mahi. it was good seasoning but too dry. heard from a friend that the loco moco sucked too. If you really want to just try it cuz of the hype, just taste the coconut syrup, sweet and coconutty. but the food sucks and not worth the wait. just make the drive to Boots.

    It was great, just get there early or you will be waiting in line up the stairs. The banana pancakes were nice and fluffy. Also try the blueberry sourcream crepes, pretty delicious. The service was fab. Too bad the seating is soo cramped, and wait can be annoying. It is worth it, to at least try it once.

  • Christy Y.

    We ate here during our vacation in July. I was looking for a place to get breakfast within walking distance to our hotel. I found this place on Yelp. Taking other reviewers' advice to get there before 8am to avoid a long wait, we got there at 7:30am on a Thursday morning. The host estimated a 35-40min wait but it ended up being over an hour. I would suggest getting here by 7am to avoid the long wait. The seats in the back by the restroom are a lot cooler than the rest of the place, even to the point of being a little chilly. I ordered the Portuguese sausage w/eggs and mac nut pancakes and hubby ordered the corned beef hash w/eggs and strawberry whip pancakes. My dish came with 4 large diagonal slices of Portuguese sausage. I expected the sausage to be spicy because it had an orangey layer of grease on them. But in fact they were mild, which was fine with me because I don't really care for spicy foods. They weren't too salty either but rather tasty. Could be because the portuguese sausage here seems fattier than others I've had. I ordered my eggs over-medium but they were very runny, more like over-easy. No biggie. I liked that they weren't drenched in butter like at IHOP and I could actually taste the eggs. The macadamia nut pancakes were basically the plain buttermilk pancakes with mac nut pieces and powdered sugar sprinkled on top. Not sure if it was worth the extra price to upgrade. We couldn't eat them at the restaurant because we were too full so we took them to go. By the time we ate them at lunchtime, the nuts were not crunchy but kinda stale. Don't know if the nuts would have been crunchy had we eaten them there. The corned beef hash was good, can't really mess that up. The strawberry whip pancakes came with maybe 5 small strawberries that I think might have come from a can because they were sweetened and mushy, and a mountain of whipped cream. We tried both the coconut syrup and the guava syrup. The guava was sweeter. We liked the coconut better because you can really taste the coconut flavor vs the guava just being sweet. We were going to buy the syrup there but thought we would get it later since a previous reviewer said you could also buy it at ABC stores. We just went to an ABC store and they do carry a coconut syrup but it isn't the same brand. I didn't get a chance to look at the ingredients on the Eggsnthings one so I don't know how they would compare. The ABC one is in a glass bottle but I think the Eggsnthings is in a plastic bottle, which would make it easier for us to pack in our luggage. Didn't have a chance to go back to get their syrup but was able to find a Hawaiian Sun brand in a plastic bottle at Longs Drugs. Overall the food was pretty good. We wanted to see what all the hype was about. We didn't think it was worth waiting over an hour for, so next time we'll try to get there before 7am.

    Their pancakes were delicious and they have a great guava syrup to put on them, but anything that comes with eggs is WAAAAYYYYY too buttery. My friends had an omelet with a good amount of stuff in it and they still could taste the butter. I had pancakes with eggs and I couldn't even finish my eggs they tasted like pure butter. If you're planing on going here don't get their eggs! Pancakes for sure!!!!

    Came here for our last breakfast in Hawaii. It was delicious. Only had to wait a couple minutes for counter seats (@ 7:30am). I ordered the macadamia nut pancakes and my husband had the French toast special of the day (with mandarin oranges and coconut). Both were amazing. Huge portions!! Like 5 pancakes on mine and 3 thick pieces of French toast. Definitely try the coconut syrup!!! I think we used half of the container, it was so good!!

    Awful awful awful! The manager Edwin is incredibly rude and made it to where I will NEVER go there again. Very aggressive and rude. Needs a lesson in how to treat people, especially in the service industry

    As a local, I was curious about trying this place out so the boyfriend & I dined in for a late weekday lunch. We checked in at the front desk & was told to go upstairs when our pager buzzes (downstairs was the café & gift shop). In less than 10 minutes we were seated at a two-person table outside. The restaurant is open air so watch out for the little birdies! Anyways, I ordered a medium-rare Ribeye Steak & Eggs, with a side of Buttermilk Pancakes. The boyfriend ordered the Island Style Fried Rice. While we waited, I caught glipses of extra powdery pancakes topped with six-inches of whipped cream ordered by other patrons. Apparently everyone was getting one. Moments later, our sever made his way to our table & I was already a little disappointed... Unlike steak I've had recently, this platter wasn't sizzling in steak juice. The server offered a bottle of steak sauce, but I politely declined. The steak was good nonetheless, but it was bland by itself. I had about two small pieces left before I gave up. So I moved on to the buttermilk pancakes with three choices of syrups--maple, coconut & guava. Unfortunately the pancakes weren't fluffy at all. The Island Style Fried Rice was pretty good, but it was a whole plateful so we requested a take-out box for our leftovers. Nevermind the Waikiki prices & the constant crowd--majority of whom are fashionably dressed Japanese tourists; I should of known just because it's in Waikiki doesn't mean it's that great. But then again, it's my fault for ordering steak for breakfast.

    Ugh. Amazing how one person can taint your entire experience. As we approached the restaurant, a salt-and-pepper haired man (no name tag) greeted us with, "Oh, you guys are the new cooks?" Okay, what the heck...oh, yeah--because why *else* would a couple of 'Negroes' show up, other than to wash dishes or mop the floor? I am an educator and my fiance is an airspace control officer. As degreed professionals, we did NOT find that funny at *all*. Our frosty silence should have cauterized the flow of stupidity, but not so. Admittedly, strike two was minor but I was already chafed, to say the least. After the host asked where we were from, he seemed shocked that the answer was Aiea. Okay, I am not even going to list the places he could have been assuming, so as not to offend any inhabitants who might live there. Strike three: right after that, he asked me if I was pregnant...WRONG question to ask a woman (no, I am not overweight, either). Even after calmly telling him that I was irritated by his comments, we received no apology--he seemed to think that this was an acceptable exchange. Although the food was wonderful and our waitress, Nani, was excellent, we did complain to Edwin, the manager on duty, about our initial experience and he agreed that the host's comments were unacceptable. Unfortunately, our first impression tipped the scales and netted this eatery three stars. If you are going to eat here, gird up with some thick skin first.

    PARK AT FT DERUSSY! There was a 20 min wait and from what I can tell the place is always busy. The staff was really friendly but know exactly what you want when it's your turn to order. They take the orders on an iPad mini so if you want to change your order, they have to delete it and start again. The Cajun Ahi Steak was DELICIOUS and I'm told the Ribeye was good as well. They give you more than enough food to share. Good experience overall.

  • Ryan H.

    This place is a solid four, the food was fabulous, we got the Coconut pancakes, macadamia pancakes, with choices of coconut syrup, guava syrup, and maple syrup. Also got the eggs Benedict (eggs were perfect),and a plate of scrambled eggs and turkey bacon. Fast service, good food. We only waited around 20 minutes for brunch. The reason this wasn't a five is because there was no mention of up charges when we switched our buttermilk pancakes to those special types (I assumed there would be an up-charge, but this should be mentioned by the waiter) and specials were not mentioned. A little bit more personalized service would go a long ways. You can tell everyone is working hard and that's why it was fast and good, but it lacked personalization. Overall a great spot and a must visit if you like breakfast or brunch!

    A short walk from the Hilton, so we went every morning. Be prepared for a wait of you get there too late. The spinach feta and tomato omelet was delicious! My fiancé and I split it one morning with hashbrowns and toast. The coconut syrup is a must when you order pancakes. Great coffee too!

    There are two sections to this restaurant, there's a downstairs section which just sell smoothies & a few breakfast pastries and then there's the upstairs section which is the actual restaurant. I went here about 7:30am on Wednesday morning and it was a long wait to get into the restaurant and there were a lot of people waiting out front. I got the smoothie that was pineapple and strawberry and something else it was pretty decent.

    My wife loves breakfast (I'm impartial to it) so when we were in Honolulu for our honeymoon I said if we're doing breakfast, no big chains. Let's keep it local. Thanks to Yelp, we came across Eggs 'n Things. And luckily we came on a day when things weren't too crowded (only a 15-20 minute wait). Apparently on weekends it can get very crowded. Another side note: their location right off Waikiki beach was always extremely crowded try this location if you don't want to wait as long. I decided to go with the Loko Moko and boy, was I glad I did. When I ordered it the waitress said I had picked the right dish and that her mouth was watering just thinking about it. When the dish was put in front of me, I practically inhaled it. It was absolutely amazing. One of the best breakfast dishes I've ever had. My wife just went with a pancake dish but was raving about the papaya syrup they had. And rightly so as it was a fantastic new take. In all, all the employees were friendly, and the food was delicious. My only complaint is that a lot of construction was going on outside so it was loud and the tables are close to each other so mix that with loud patrons around you, and my wife and I weren't able to have the somewhat quiet breakfast we were looking to have. But that's not a deal breaker by any stretch of the word.

    No wait at all granted on a Sunday morning at 730am. Got the portugese sausage and the macadamia pancakes. Coconut syrup on top yum! Great service too! If you don't want to wait just get up early. We caught the sunrise right before and then headed over to the restaurant a 5 minute walk! Perfect way to start the morning. Now for some exercise to burn off those calories!!

    Looking for a place to have breakfast after 11am? This is it! We had to wait like 10 min to order, then you pay and then you wait again to be seated. It took about 30 min to be seated. My husband order eggs, bacon and pancakes and I order the loco moco. We waited for about 15 min to be served but it was worth it. My husband liked his food and I will tell you that that was the best loco moco I had in Hawaii, and I had it a lot in this trip. The gravy was the best I have had, the patty was big and juicy, the eggs over easy on top of a bed of rice... Delicious!!! Worth it, just be ready to wait!

    I came to Eggs 'n Things for breakfast the other day. I ordered an Omelette with Cheddar Cheese and Turkey Bacon and shared Pancakes with Strawberries, Whipped Cream, and Nuts. The Omelette was light and fluffy and the Pancakes were simply divine! FYI - get here early, otherwise there is a long wait. It is a good place to visit at least once and to try their famous pancakes!

  • Amanda P.

    I went here while on vacation in Honolulu, and while the place may be a bit touristy, everything was delicious! The portion sizes were very generous, huge omelettes and stacks of pancakes. I also tried pog juice for the first time, which was very fresh. If I loved in Honolulu, I'd definitely come back for breakfast/brunch often. The wait may be long, but if you have the time to spare, definitely check it out!

    I am totally in love with this place. If there is a must eat place for breakfast or breakfast for dinner this is the place. The service is outstanding the employees are wonderful. I must mention one person for sure the server name is Aaron Low he was totally awesome and quick with the coffee refills. Eggs and things thank you for a great meal.

    Rude cashier will make sure you pay 15%, not 10% - even if service was very slow. I was almost late for my flight after wasting an hour at Eggs n thing for a simple omelet & pancakes. The food was decent, but I can eat much better with the money. Not worth the wait. P. S. They immediately assumed I am Japanese - offered Japanese menu.

    Cool place on the beach. Went at 6am to avoid lines, and found the atmosphere welcoming even though we were like the first people there. Ordered the island fried rice and found it to be pretty good as far as rice goes, tasty, fluffy and full over just about everything you can think of. But the pancakes... My god. AMAZING. Easily the best pancakes I ever had, I had simple strawberry whipcream pancakes, and that guava syrup made the meal. Others in my party had regular breakfast things... eggs.. bacon.. ETC. It's essentially impossible to have those things be fantastic or terrible, so no surprise that they were pretty tasty. But those pancakes tho? Yeah.

  • Marlon T.

    As one of the most popular breakfast places in Waikiki, I had to check it out and get the famous Macadamia Nut Pancakes drenched in their unique Coconut Syrup. It was pretty spectacular. From looking at what other people were eating, everything looked delicious but I just wanted some tasty pancakes that AM. I came by myself and was easily seated with other single diners on the balcony facing the street. If you come in a group, try to come at non-peak hours or you'll be in for a wait (it's in the heart of tourist Waikiki). I like how they have a gift shop downstairs, nothing worth really buying, but I liked how it was there. Even though it's a super tourist food trap, I still highly recommend coming here especially if you're staying in Waikiki because it's easily accessible and the food is unique to Hawaii (as far as I know).

  • Susan F.

    Interesting. -2 for the following: 1. You wait for your table on the bottom floor, in the "Eggs" store, nonetheless 2. It SMELLS like egg in the store, but not upstairs where the food is, which is strange 3. No air conditioning but they told us there was But any way, you get a lot for your money.. and I mean A LOT. Their pancakes are ginormous and they are one of those establishments (Similar to an IHOP) where you get 500 things with your meal on the side. It was really good but makes you feel like a blob. They carry every meat variety which is appreciated. The sausage there is terrific. The turkey bacon is heinous. Tasted like some vegan stuff I had back in college. It is what is is. Everything in the store is overpriced to lure in all of those damn tourists. GET OFF MY LAWN. The end.

    I read and heard so many good things about this place, there was no way I would leave Hawaii without eating here. I didn't mind the wait, the Japanese host was fairly entertaining and I expected it since I saw a huge line every time I passed. Wow, I see I started this 2 years ago, and here I am, about to finish the deed. Perfect. After my girlfriend and I were finally seated after 45 minutes, it didn't take too long to get our order in. I don't remember what my girlfriend ordered, but I remember ordering macadamia nut pancakes to share and I got the ribeye steak (asked for medium rare) and eggs...and that's when everything fell apart. When I got my steak, I saw it was overcooked. I told our waiter right away as I hate my steak cooked improperly. He apologized and I got my steak about 15 minutes later. Looked medium rare this time and I was starving so I dug in...problem was the steak was cold. Cold! How! I can't even, what?! I was so mad that I didn't eat the steak or much of anything else we ordered, which never happens, I always devour everything. I am a devourer of worlds yet this, this stopped my cold (like my steak) in my tracks. Not happy to this day and I will never come back here even though I really wanted to like this place as I came here during my first trip to Hawaii, which was otherwise magical.

    They are known for their macadamia nut pancakes with tropical syrups but those were just very average . The pancakes are fluffy enough but the macadamias are chopped and strewn on top as a topping, which is a let down. The flavor isn't pervasive. The novelty of the three syrups is great. They have a traditional maple, as well as the really fragrant coconut and guava syrups. We dabbled in all three but I think the coconut is the best. For the rest, we both had meals involving Portuguese sausage. Mine came in the form of sausage and eggs, and the sausage had really great color from being pan seared or griddled but it was oh so buttery. His Portguese sausage in an omelette was almost indistinguishable with no similar flavor or char. Their juices are squeezed fresh, which is a plus. The crowds here are pretty big but if you come early, its no problem at all.

    Im giving it three stars cause they dont do take out orders. They should at least have a sign in the front that says that. So i ate inside. I was alone, and i felt like the waitress was giving me less attention, compared to her other tables. The food was great, the experience would have been better if the service was.

    Ate here a couple times this week and never dissapointed. Pancakes were cooked perfect slight crisp and fluffy inside. The crab cake benedict made my body so happy I was dancing in my seat. The rice was full of goodness and eggs cooked perfect the staff was real nice seems like they've worked there a long time. We waited bout ten to 15 min for a seat at brunch time. Goo eat here

    Don't understand why so many people are saying that it's like a Denny's or McDonalds. It's actually quite good & a lot of food too. And it was served on actual plates & I was given actual silverware. Never was I served on plastic plates or given plastic utensils. Don't know if they used to do that but I was not. The prices, yes they are more than McD's & Denny's but you are in Honolulu, Hawaii. Nothing here is cheap. Deal with it. I ordered the 2 eggs & Portuguese sausages combo for under $10. Asked for cheese on my eggs & upgraded to a banana pancake instead of regular like it comes with. It all came out to under $15. It was a lot of food, couldn't finish it & girlfriend, I can eat. The BF ordered steak & eggs for $17. His steak looked great & prepared the way he liked it. With our coffees, which we get free refills, our bill came out to under $38. Not bad for Honolulu. Seriously. Service was ok. Well, it was mostly our waiter. He looked like he didn't want to be there but the other staff (food runners, bus boys, etc.) were friendly & made sure we had plenty of coffee & syrups. I think that we just got a dud waiter but he took our order right & that's really all I care about. Only reason for not giving this place 5 stars is because I had to wait about 30 mins & I hate waiting. You can sit at their cafe downstairs & get a juice or buble tea or whatever. But it is a popular place & with good reason. My experience there was very good. Will be back during my stay for sure.

    There's not much that can be said for this classic establishment that not only serves beautifully prepared eggs and things but offers a unique Hawaiian atmosphere at this location under the shade of the tree. The wait is long but worth it if UR prepared to sit and talk story with Japanese tourists who say In Japan a restaurant isn't worth going to unless it's worth waiting to get into. The food is clean well presented and locally sourced when possible as organic is the new gourmet restaurant. The beef is local as is the syrup and honey. I also offer a discount for local residents and I would recommend also eating here for dinner when there is no crowd. Breakfast for dinner I like it

    I first went there for take out around 7 in the morning. There were reviews for take out and even they have a take out menu but when I asked for take out they said they dont do take out??? I asked them if they dont do take out at all but they said they do but not now. 2 japanese waiters and 1 local waitress were very rude and they had this attitude while I was talking to them. Thier attitudes were like we dont want to be bothered talking to you and just fuck off. The worst thing is I and my hunby decided to dine in because they decided not to serve us take out for no reason. My server name was Harold and he was super rude. He was only nice to people who were not Asians. I believe he knew many japanese, koreans and chinese came this place, and they dont speak English and they cant complain and write reviews in English for his terrible service. I asked him 3 times for water. He was just walking around the restautant and not doing his job. When he walked behind me I called him for water but he pretended like he didnt hear and see me. I called him 4times more and he finally looked at me and said just a min and just walked away!!! This place is just full of rude servers. We couldnt even finish up food that we ordered because they were super salty. That was reason why we asked for water several times. We had loco moco and fried rice. I WONT RECOMMEND TO NO ONE!!!

    Let's start off with service was GREAT. I have their fried rice which was great and corned beef hash which was great as well. Me and my friends shared everything. My fried got a bacon and spinach omelet which had a lot of bacon so extra points for that. We also shared the pancake trio with banana strawberry and blueberry pancakes COCONUT SYRUP on pancakes is AMAZING If it wasn't for the small parking lot that made you wait forever for parking. This would have got 5 stars

    There may be other places that are much more worth the wait, and offer better quality breakfasts and even more reasonable prices. However, Eggs 'n Things is perfectly good, offers a nice variety with something for everyone, and has fast and friendly service. The Spam and Eggs breakfast is a winner at under $10. The Spam is perfectly crisped, and a generous 4 pieces. Portuguese Sausage is also very good. Their egg & meat options come with your choice of pancakes, rice or potatoes. You can make your pancakes one of their special ones for more money. What's very strange is that if you choose toast as an option, it's extra money. Their omeletes are also a good choice. Pancakes looked good -- especially if you like a mountain of whipped cream on top that's as big as the Rockies. POG Juice and coffee are very good. Coffee is help yourself. We chose to sit outside and that was a nice choice on such a lovely day.

    We went early in the morning and didn't have to wait long to get in or to get our food. The people were very friendly. I ordered the loco moco. I've had it before at other diners and homemade and I love loco moco but I wasn't a huge fan of the loco moco here. My wife got pancakes and those were delicious. The portions were huge. It was a decent place. If I went again I would definitely get pancakes.

    Save your money and time! This place is totally not worth it. I don't know why there's such a long wait and that this place is soooo popular? The food was just okay, it felt like I can get better food elsewhere. We were lucky enough to wait 15 minutes for a party of 2. We ordered Kona Coffee and they ran out...at 10am, really?! C'mon! Anyway, we knew that was a bad start already... I ordered the traditional Hawaiian breakfast-spam, eggs, and rice. The spam was thin slices, and it was not good spam. I don't know why but it didn't taste good, it was really salty (then normal) and it wasn't fried more. But you got like 4 thin spam slices... (went somewhere else for breakfast got same thing and it was SO much better then here). The breakfast is pricey as well for okay food. My bf didn't like his omelet as well. Really, save your money and time. This is not worth the wait...

    We tried to go there for breakfast today and was seated after a 15-20min wait (it was not that busy). Our younger son has a soy allergy so we always bring our own pancake mix for the restaurant to use. We have done this many times at chain restaurants to mom and pop ones and they are always happy to accommodate us. Usually the cook will even come out and talk to our table to confirm our order. Well here the waitress asked the cook and he said "no" so the waitress said let me ask the manager to make sure. While waiting for the manager the cooks kept coming out of the kitchen eyeing our table. We had to sit another 30 min waiting for the manager to even come to our table to tell us no they couldn't use our mix because they could become liable and it was a liability for the other customers and there were other things on their menu that we could order. I wouldn't have had a problem with ordering something else but after waiting to be seated, getting looks by the kitchen staff and waiting 30 min to even talk to a manager we decided to eat somewhere else. And yes the other restaurant used our pancake mix with no problem.

    We got the combo with a pancake sampler and loco moco. The macnut pancakes are the best. The pineapple pancakes are pretty good too. The loco moco has some onions and spam in the gravy.

    We went for dinner a late dinner and were very unimpressed. There process is great in theory but horrible in practice. Do not try to get anything that isn't exactly on the menu or it will be a complete hassle. They say it takes about 7 minutes to get your food after you order and pay first before sitting. Once seated it took us 15 minutes to get food. On top of that we couldn't even get the staffs attention to get refills on our drinks. Food finally came and was underwhelming.

    Was not good. Would have been better at Ihop. Everything was bland and overpriced. My boyfriend ordered spam and eggs and even THAT wasn't good. He said the spam tasted old. How could you mess up spam and eggs? I had the veggies with egg whites and it was absolutely tasteless. I had to add salt, pepper, soy sauce and hot sauce (whatever I could find to make it edible) to give it some flavor. I finally gave up trying to eat it. And just asked for the check. Service was good. Staff was friendly. But food took a while. It looked busy so you would think it would be good. Nope we were wrong. Darn you yelp! Sadly will not be back.

    I drove 1 hour to come to this place because it was so good the first time. It wasn't nearly as good as it was the last time. First off we had a 45 minute wait which I don't mind special of its worth it. But as we were waiting one of my boys said they needed some water so I approached the guy at the juice bar and he ignored us for at least three minutes and then he was terrible rude. I should have left then a went for breakfast somewhere else. The portions were still large so we shared again but my omette was under cooked as runny.

    Not horrible but not great either - in other words nothing here you can't get anywhere else in Honolulu. The food is well made and the service is good for how many people were actually eating there. Got mac nut pancakes which was more than I could have eaten, moco loco with scrambled eggs (heart attack in a bowl), and an ahi steak and eggs which wasn't bad. Drank some coffee and POG (pineapple, orange, and guava mix). I'd rate it 2.5 rounded up to 3. I liked the food and it did me well for breakfast but not sure it was any better than places I could have walked to and closer.

    Eggs and Things is a great place for breakfast. From the time you check in to the time you leave the whole experience is great. You'll be in amazement at the presentation of the food, quality of service and the overall atmosphere. If there's a wait, it'll be well worth it. Enjoy the views of the park across the street, steady flow of passerby's walking and riding the trolley. I've been coming here for a week and have tried something different every day. Don't leave without getting fresh Lilikoi Juice or the Plantation Iced Tea. There is a coffee bar downstairs as well. If you're lucky enough to get Paula as your server, she will dote on you until you leave. Harold was quick about offering suggestions and making sure everyone was well taken care of. Nary a frown to be found. So yes, make Eggs and Things your breakfast stop while you're here.

    The spinach, bacon and pepperjack cheese omelet we had was delicious! The home fried potatoes were well seasoned, crispy and tasty. Pancakes were meh, but I liked the coconut syrup and guava syrup. The service was awesome and quick!

    Such interesting options. Portion sizes are huge. Looks like a long line going in but you order at the door and your food is practically ready by the time you sit down.

    Food was decent but the service wasn't anything special; our drinks weren't even refilled. Upon leaving, the cashier asked us to leave 18% tip because its dinner. "If the service was bad" she said, "leave 15%". I never felt that forced to leave a tip. Places all around Waikiki take advantage of tourists who can't speak up for themselves and I believe this to be one of those establishments. To avoid further embarrassment of my friends we paid and left. Never again will I choose to dine at Eggs & Things.

    Saw the line of people outside & assumed it must be good. It wasn't. The omelette was coated in some kind of oil or margarine and was inedible. The acai bowl was "acai sherbet" that tasted more like blackberry sherbet or some other berry sherbet, but the fresh fruit that came with it was good (banana & strawberry slices). The pancakes were average. The Americano coffee was served in a paper cup. The cream was thin, probably was skim milk. The "Lite" breakfast was HUGE. No reason to go here.

    Came here for breakfast while staying in town on vacation. They have a totally different way of ordering your food. You stand in line, order your food with the check-in girl, then you go to the pay line, then you stand in line and wait for a table. Once you're seated they bring your food out to you. Everything is served with paper plates plastic silverware plastic cups. I had the macadamia nut whipped cream banana pancakes and they were absolutely D licious.

    I would give this place no stars if I could.. Trust. I've never been told by a restaurant that I am not allowed to get a to-go order. Never ever. I arrived on a Sunday afternoon, it was raining and wet all over Waikiki and I decided to brave the streets and walk in the rain over. There were barely any people waiting when I arrived and I asked if I could get a take out order and was told that when the restaurant has a wait, they do not take those orders. Ok! Fine so I asked how long the wait for a table would be.. I was told 10-15 minutes. 10-15 minutes?! Really? I would be perfectly fine if I had heard 30-45 or even an hour wait. But you won't let me order because your wait is 10-15 minutes.. Then I asked, if I waited for a table, would I be able to order something to-go? Reasonable, right? Not enough apparently. Then I got a vague answer, 'It would depend on your server.' And that was the end of it. They wouldn't budge and I left an irritated customer. UGHHH If there were MORE people waiting, I would understand. But there were barely any parties there when I arrived AND it was raining outside..! How sad. You've lost this customer's business. Spread the word. No thank you Eggs n Things. &%$@#

    I have never really heard of Eggs 'N Things until I saw one of my friends going here when she went to Hawaii. The reviews seemed pretty good so I came here to check it out. I got there pretty early in the morning so there was no wait at all. We were seated as soon as we walked in. If you're looking for where the restaurant is, it's on the second floor with a nice view of the city. I ordered their macadamia nut pancakes with Portuguese sausage and eggs. The macadamia nut pancakes came out PERFECT. And there were topped with TONs of macadamia nuts. The Portuguese sausage and eggs is what it should be. I've had it other times in Hawaii and they were always about the same. Their guava juice was good. And the servers were nice. I enjoyed my meal here although it is a bit expensive. I would come back! :)

  • Nick S.

    A great breakfast spot. Instead of braving the morning wait, I opted for a 'brinner' attack and walked right in about 45 minutes before they closed. The standard, guava and coconut syrups on each table are all sugary bits of awesome, so even if you're not a pancake fan it might be worth a side order (included on many of the combos) just to try them all out. Besides the pancakes, I had a basic order of sausage links and eggs, and both were pretty excellent. It's not cheap, especially for breakfast, but it's totally in line for Waikiki and comparable to other restaurants. ($15-20 per person)

    If I could turn back time.... This review is for their 40th anniversary specials so please take this review with a grain of salt. We were here three nights in a row where we enjoyed strawberry pancakes, hamburger steak with eggs, and a farmer's omelette. The food tasted good but because of the throwback price from 40 years ago, the food was worth it. The pancakes that would cost $12 only cost $3.50. The hamburger steak was $2.50. Farmer's omelette was $3.95. If I has to come here on regular price, I would give it 2 stars. The inexpensive prices would have given this review 5 stars but, the services was very spotty and slow.

    Want eggs? Come here! Want things with your eggs? Come here! I was craving eggs for dinner (specifically a loco moco) and this place hit the spot. I can see how this place can get crowded, but we went for dinner so we only had a 15 minute wait for 6 people at 7 pm The food. My brother and I tried the loco moco (Hawaiian and traditional). The Hawaiian is like the traditional but comes with pieces of spam, sauteed mushrooms and onions. Both were well portioned, filling, and full of savory goodness. The gravy is just the right amount of salty. The pancakes were light and fluffy. I am not the biggest fan of the coconut syrup, but the guava was a good twist on a homestyle favorite. My sister had the Island style fried rice and eggs. It was very much a mountain of fried rice. no complaints. Stray observations, 1. Japanese people love Eggs 'n Things. Most of the people in the the place were japanese, and while we were there, groups of japanese tourist would come to just take pictures with the sign. 2. Some people on yelp think the menu is expensive, but given the location and most plates are $10-15, I think the prices are reasonable 3. The service was great. Our server was funny, attentive, and personable and checked up on us despite being the only server working at the time. I think he had 6 other tables at the time. Additionally, he correctly started using the names of 3 of the people at our table of 6 without us giving him our names.(Magic!)

    MEOW! I love this place. My exboyfriend was stationed here on RIMPAC so I flew over from CA to see him and to spend some time in Hawaii. He kept suggesting this place, and we tried to go there as soon as I arrived but they had close their breakfast / lunch service. We kept missing it and instead, I came here on my own when he had to be back on his ship and wowowowowee it was soo good. I am very much an *egg* person so that helped. I got the sausage + egg over medium + rice platter and an iced coffee. It was all very delicious and just what I needed. (The people next to me ordered spam and eggs + rice and I almost facepalmed. Spam and rice and gooey egg!! WHAT WAS I THINKING??) But the sausage was great! My exboyfriend boyfriend ordered the locomoco whenever he went and said it was AMAZING!! I didn't try it for myself for just take his word for it. CHECK THIS PLACE OUT!! My server was so kind to me too! She asked me if I wanted rice, toast or pancakes and I said "rice" and she laughed and said "good girl" it made me laugh too. I also got a t-shirt and some goodies from their store because they had eggs on them and as I already said.. if I could only eat a meal for the rest of my life it'd be this one. BREAKFAST FOOD. eggs, rice, and some sort of meat ..

    Awesome breakfast. The macadamia nut pancakes were amazing. What a delicious and special hawaiian breakfast. The food is a bit pricey but I wouldn't go here to eat regular breakfast items i could get at your local Denny's. Go for their Hawaiian specialties.

    This was the first place i ate once i moved here and it is great. The breakfast is amazing and now that i live in wahiawa i wish there was one close by. Its worth the drive tho so i go about twice a month..lol fat kid problems. .i know i know

    If you're looking for that nostalgic diner taste and experience in Waikiki, you will find it here. The local staff is a mix of young happy-to-see-you smiles and grouchy old lady snarles, just like diners back in the day, you'll love it. The quick order chefs will have your meal fried and on the table before the oil can drip onto the plate. There's usually a line and little wait, so get there early. And don't forget to upgrade those pancakes! ALOHA served here.

    This place is weird. You stand in a long line outside to order your food. Then you wait in line again to pay before you have even been seated. Then you go get your own coffee. Then they serve your food on paper plates with plastic forks. The food is average and overpriced. They have more of a tourist trap than a restaurant. Save your time and money.

    Came for breakfast since our friends recommended the place and boy were were happy. We had the daily special of Hawaiian omelet. The kalua pork was very good and came with side of pancakes. Serving size was big enough for my husband n i to share n both of us getting full. While we waited for our food, the manager chatted with us and shared his food blog. Has great recommendations of other places around Honolulu with good pictures. Were def going to try some of These places while we're here

    Was not impressed with the food, service or restaurant policy. Food was bland. Server was eeh. $15 pp to eat breakfast on paper plates, plastic to-go containers & child size plastic forks. Waited 40 min to order. The hostess had walk ups cut in front of us for take-out orders with no wait time (when the family of 5 in front of us waited in line to order take-out. An organized mess). 4 stars for the view.

    I'm not feeling this place as much as I think I'm supposed to. I think it's about as average as a breakfast joint gets. Often crowded (especially their "express" location on Kalakaua where you have to stand in line, order at the register, and then wait for a seat -- and the food still takes forever to reach you), and Zagat-rated, I would place this in the 2.5-3 star range. I have gotten Eggs Benedict with Macadamia Nut pancakes both times and, both times . . . meh. My food was served on paper plates with plasticware and plastic cups and my water came in a plastic cup the size of a shot glass. I took one look at it, slammed it, sat it down and looked at the waiter, and he walked away. I wanted to ask for a grown-up cup but didn't bother. I'm too bored with this place to write about it any more. It's not bad at all, it's just that there's nothing special about the place either.

    I waited about 30 mins but it's famous and popular for tourists so I didn't mind to wait. I ordered waffle. It's was yummy but everything was pricy. There was a rude employee. I think she is late 40s or early 50s wearing glasses. She said "Stop whatever you are doing" to costumer when she brought food. Also she tapped costumer's chair with fork or spoon without saying excuse me or something because she couldn't go through. I've never seen such a rude costumer service. Other employees were friendly but I don't think I go there again.

  • Nikita K.

    Perfect breakfast spot! Try the macadamia nut pancakes and smother it with coconut syrup! Delicious! I also got the Portuguese sausage which tastes great, and scar ambled eggs that surely came from fresh eggs. Someone tried the famous Hawaiian Loca Moca and enjoyed it, I tried the beef patty on it and I can't complain but nothing too special. Another person tried the Omlette with spinach n bacon and also said the eggs tasted great. Get the pancakes though! Also the pineapple juice was fresh squeezed, and so was the tropical punch. Highly recommend this place. There was a 20 minute wait, and it took them a while to make the food, but at least it tasted great. The place is also very crowded and has little sitting room, but it's great to go to local places. Also our waitress was just the sweetest lady, she really put a smile on our faces.

  • Melanie L.

    What can I say? When I am in Hawaii I always end up here for breakfast every morning. I am not a typical breakfast eater, but I love their breakfast dishes. I order the Portuguese sausage with a side of hash potatoes and a side of their famous buttermilk pancakes. Their coconut syrup is to die for.... Never again eat your pancakes without it!

    Totally overrated. Horrible service. We waited for 15 minutes and no one stopped by to ask for coffee or drinks. We begged the bus boy for coffee and he was scared that he was going to get in trouble. When I complained to the manager, she pointed to a server and told me to tell him myself. REALLY??? The food was just ok. Overpriced. Not worth the wait.

    Ordered the Hawaiian Style Loco Moco and barely finished it. It's pretty good and it's a lot for breakfast. My friend got the mac nut pancakes with the insanely yummy coconut syrup. I don't even like coconut but that syrup was so freaking good. We came back a second time just to get more coconut syrup hahah. I prefer this location over than the one in aston waikiki circle. Go early in the morning, it will get crowded!

    Asked for a fruit bowl expecting (and Paying) for fresh fruits and they brought me basically a gigantic ice cream topped with some fruits, it didn't say ice cream anywhere in the menu. When I claimed, waiters got defensive and not helpful. Disappointing experience.

    When it comes to breakfast, flavor, and proton size this place gets 5 stars in all areas! Plan to wait based on demand but no one leaves disappointed. I had the " French toast fresh strawberry chocolate chip macadamia nuts" special. My only regret is I should have shared it. Way to much for one person!

    I don't understand why this place is getting so many low reviews. My husband and I have ate here for breakfast 3 days in a row,and every day have tried something new. We have not eaten one thing that doesn't taste fabulous. Eggs Benedict,sweet bread French toast,fried rice,potatoes,banana Macadamia nut whipped cream pancakes,omelets...it's all perfect. Sure the wait sucks,and it's a little on the expensive side,but it's worth it.

    I brought my friend who is visiting from out of state here since I have had great service at the other locations here in Honolulu. When we arrived, the wait was not long and took less than 20 minutes to get seated. It took the waiter some time to make his way over due to the traffic which was understandable. When he came to take our order, we asked a few questions in regards to the menu. I asked him if I could replace something since I didn't feel like any of the items that were offered with the omelette and he immediately said "no, sorry" in a yelling tone which made me very uncomfortable. If he had stated nicely that it was available separately, I would have ordered it as I was ravished for food. We asked for water and did not receive it for 10 minutes so asked Rick who was working on cleaning one of the tables if we could get some water. He made a snide "I'll do it after I'm done" remark and didn't even bring us the water after he was. Though he was mean to us, he was very nice to the Japanese customers who sat behind us and brought them water right away. When the food arrived, it looked delicious. We both started eating and throughout our meal when the floor wasn't even busy, we never got asked how our meal was or even got our water filled and had to ask twice to get our waiter to pour us some more water. The waiter only asked after we finished if the food was okay. I was disappointed at the lack of customer service. When my friend and I arrive, we were going to also order a smoothie to go but decided not to because of the experience we had. I don't think I could ever go to this location again.

    You may have to wait a bit but the crab cake eggs Benedict was the best I've had in my entire life (this is coming from someone who exclusively orders eggs Benedict while eating out for breakfast). Also totally worth it to upgrade to chocolate chip pancakes... Doused in their coconut syrup = amaaaazing.

    Spam and eggs with pancakes was delicious and well worth the wait to get in! They quoted us 45 minutes but it was really more like 10. The pancakes were so light and fluffy and they have coconut syrup!

    Had the eggs Benedict with the short stack macadamia nut pancakes. The pancakes, amazing (dont forget the coconut syrup). The Benedict, just ok. My eggs were over cooked (sadly no gooey yoke) and I got skimped on the hollandaise sauce! My family enjoyed the banana crepes, strawberry pancakes and omelet (the salsa on the omlets is on point!). But I feel that for the price ($79 breakfast)... I feel a little cheated. Gotta love waikiki! :)

  • Faye B.

    While my husband and I were sort of on a 'tour bus' we heard the announcer say that Eggs 'N Things was a local place that touted all things breakfast with local flare. This was the last day of our Hawaiian honeymoon so we figured why not get 'brinner' at a local joint. This spot is very interesting as the storefront on the ground level seems to be the overflow and the restaurant is actually on the second floor. Then two doors down also on ground level is where they sell their goods: t-shirts, pancake mix, local jams, etc. Anyway, back to the food. We didn't have to wait long probably because we got there for a fairly early dinner time. Ryan and I weren't all that hungry so we shared a loco moco with some fruit. It was pretty good. I'll have to start making these on my own. Who would have ever thought beef patty + mound of rice + egg + gravy= gooood!

    (3)

  • Nat W.

    This place offers regular plates/silverwares and waiter unlike Express Egg 'n Things in Waikiki. I usually order one of their pancakes like Starwberry or Macadamia nut and their special Locomoco to share with someone else. The food is very good, huge portion and affordable! Our waiter was very energetic and attentive. They give 10% military discount.

  • Jennifer F.

    This place wasn't great. We were early enough to only have a 15 min wait, but it was a little odd to order while standing in line and then pay (and tip) before even being seated. The food was so so. Tricolor potatoes were soggy. Service was friendly, but was basically a drop off on paper plates with plastic utensils and one water refill in the smallest cups ever. The coconut syrup was very good, but There just wasn't anything to warrant the wait.

    I really don't think much of the food here. I ordered their popular egg green onion minced meat scramble and the flavor combination made me a little sick to the stomach. I really dont think big fat pieces of green onion work well in eggs :T On a side note, if you come here please get the lilikoi juice. My friend ordered one that I got to try and it was so delicious and resfreshing!!

    I like their breakfast and I go there often. The only reason I gave them 4 stars is because they ofer basic breakfast menu. Besides that, the prices are good, food is satisfying and the dining experience is good. It's my go to breakfast place. I always leave this place happy I went there.

  • Jessica E.

    This place has a wait but it was well worth it. I waited about 25 minutes which wasn't too bad! The ordering pattern is so weird I have never experienced it before. First you get in line and once you wait your 25min you place your order at the top of the stairs BEFORE YOU EVEN GET INSIDE. Then they send you to another counter to pay BEFORE YOU EAT. Then you sit down in a booth\table. Now this place gives you paper plates and plastic silverware which I thought was a little strange. The pancakes/ waffles are huge!!! And really delicious. I also got the eggs and portegese sausage. The sausage was SO GOOD I really wanted to order more but I didn't want to mess up the ordering process. I would definitely go back whenever I am in Hawaii. I did think it was a little pricey for the paper plates but totally worth it plus you get the ocean view. Love it love it love it

    During my week of vacationing in Honolulu, Hawaii's Wakiki Beach, I couldn't help but notice how Eggs n' Things always had an unprecedentedly long line. I needed to know what this was about but I had a feeling that I already knew. It was too late - I was already deep in line and at that point there wasn't any turning back. See Americans have a very curious appreciation for drinking copious amounts of alcohol until they feel like death the next morning and they have an even deeper appreciation for nursing themselves back to livelihood at quaint breakfast/brunch establishments eating things like pancakes, sausages, bacon, etc. And undoubtedly, this is what Eggs N' Things ended up being - simple breakfast. I sampled some pancakes and turkey bacon - it was a good breakfast but nothing spectacular. If you're looking for more than just a simple breakfast, there really isn't anything to see here so move along.

  • ellelle l.

    Hungryj's last line in his review made me laugh - my husband said the EXACT same thing. That he'd rather go to Denny's next time than hit Eggs n Things again. I'm actually shocked at the reviews for this place - leaves us scratching our heads. If you have an American palate for breakfast items, this place certainly isn't it. I ordered a corned beef hash omelette and it was just wrong along so many fronts. For one, the corned beef was literally straight out of the can (Hormel/Libby's that we get here - trust me, I know from being subjected to it at my parents!). The least they could do was at least brown the canned corned beef hash?!! The eggs on the omelette were paper thin - you could literally cut through the layer with paper. I took one bite and put the plate off to the side. Then onto the pancakes - they were good but nothing spectacular. Like my husband said, we could probably get the same tasting pancakes at Denny's. What irked me the most was when we walked in after waiting a half hour outside and the staff refused to seat us until my daughter finished her milk that we purchased at the cafe next door. I explained my 18mth old was drinking her milk that i had to buy from the cafe during our wait since she was hungry and they said we had to either throw out her milk or wait for our table until she was finished. Seriously?!! THey're that desperate to make an extra $2 off milk?? We're talking about a baby bringing in her milk!! Too early for me to raise a fuss and after all, we were on a "relaxing" vacation. I literally had to bite my lip. ANNOYING I can't help but wonder the irony behind the name of this place given eggs are just about the worst things they serve up. My husband's scrambled eggs tasted like oil and butter. That's all i could taste other than the texture. Overcooked scrambled eggs at that. They're better off calling themselves Other Than Eggs N Things. Set expectations straight.

    Spam and Eggs, Spam and Eggs, Spam and Eggs. It's the new song by Wiz Khalifa or it's what was going through my head as I stared at the menu. Or both. This place is kinda quirky. It seemed like most of the seats were on a balcony overlooking a regular side street. And in the little planter boxes were fake, plastic plants. Hawaii. Don't plants grow just fine all year long? I ended up getting something else, by the way, but both my lady friend and our mutual friend who was with us got the Spam and Eggs ... I think. And it was good. It was actually my first time eating Spam. Not my last time, not my last time ...

    The macadamia nut pancakes were huge and delicious. Be prepared to wait if you're not early for breakfast. Overall, the service was good although they put bacon in my omelette (the menu said it didn't contain any meat).

    Not a huge fan of this place. I didn't feel like the food was anything spectacular, but what really turned me off was the fact that birds fly in and out of the restaurant. If you're as lucky as I was a bird might just land on your plate of food! They are always busy so typically there is a long wait - seems to be a "go-to" for tourists.

    SERVICE SUCKS!!!! You are ignored and your party will not be served all at once. A table of 6 was served their meals over a period of 15 min. 15 min between the first person receiving their food and the last. That's a little ridiculous to me. Our waiter was not attentive at all. Took our order, delivered food, and gave us our check. The bus boy was the most attentive person here. He brought us coffee and drinks, and even refilled our coffee. Unfortunately they do not give you cream with your coffee, they give you milk. The food is good but nothing spectacular, not even the pancakes. I thought this place was going to be great, but I am leaving sadly disappointed. I made this Yelp account and wrote this review while sitting in this restaurant. That is how strongly I feel about their poor service. I will not be coming back.

    This was a short walk from our hotel. We checked in at the counter and were told it would be a 20 minute wait. In the meantime we took a look around their gift shop with the usual gifty things with their logo. They also have a small cafe there so we ordered a coffee and a tea. We got the tea but she missed the coffee order. No matter our little UFO buzzer rang at that time, so it was only a 10 minute wait that was good, and we made our way upstairs to the restaurant. They have patio and inside seating and we were seated inside but they do take requests. It took our server longer than I would expect to wait to greet us, but when she finally did show up her service was very good. She recommended the most popular dishes and the fresh fruit juices. We opted for the Portuguese sausage omelet with macadamia but pancakes. The pancakes were great with the coconut syrup! Portions were plentiful. Overall a good breakfast. I would go back but knowing the portion sizes would share next time.

    *** GREAT BREAKFAST...COMES WITH A WAIT *** Read other Yelp reviews to get there early. Even with that, our wait has averaged ~20 minutes. Staff understanding about our unruly 2.75 year old who was getting *very* hungry & impatient. I'm not a pancake eater, but do indulge in theirs! (Worth the extra calories...& time on the treadmill to rid them.)

    Ate here TWICE in 5 days on our past visit to Hawaii. You must order: the ahi tuna (cajun style) with over easy eggs and a side of strawberry pancakes. Hello fatty! Everything here is delicious, the boy got the loco moco both times with grilled onions, mushrooms and peppers. Prices are very reasonable for the tourist budget, staff is hilarious and kind. Be prepared to wait - lines get LONG, we waited 1.5 hours our second time to eat. Totally worth it. :) nom nom.

    I came here while vacationing, it's a great place but the wait can be up to an hour and a half. Come early to avoid the wait. I ordered an omelette and you have the option of potatoes, pancakes and I can't remember the other one but my portion was big!!! I really liked my food !

    Japanese hot spot! I remember when I was living in Japan they had a comercial on TV for this place...I guess that's why they all swarm here. Went here for the first time after always seeing how crowded it was whenever I'd pass by and for two of us the wait wasn't that bad, 20 minutes. I've always seen pictures of the whipped cream dish with a side pancakes underneath so I thought ok I'll order the whipped cream...ops i mean the pancakes with the mountain of whipped cream on top. But I was feeling salty foods too so I decided to go with the corned beef hash with eggs and upgrade my pancakes to the banana whipped cream ones. The upgrade cost like $4.99 o_o! But I mean they gave a lot so it was almost like a dish in itself. The corned beef hash was pretty good, they put green onions in it and it actually gave it a really nice flavor. The pancakes themselves were good; not bad but not great... just good. I've been reading a lot of good things about the service but...I think our server was a robot. He didn't introduce himself so I checked the receipt and I think his name was Harlod. He wasn't mean or anything but he just wasn't friendly. I don't think that guy has ever smiled in his life and wishes he was somewhere else; wherever robots like to hang out. I mean I saw him ask the Japanese tourists next to us if they wanted him to take their picture and it was so conflicting because I was thinking aw that's nice of him but yet he asked in the most monotone way like he didn't really want to do it....so I figure ok maybe that's just his personality and in his head he is being really nice. Oh AND 10% Kama'aina discount which was nice (the guy said 15% off at dinner!). Overall it was alright, for some reason I want to come back and give it another shot. Maybe I'll try dinner next time.

    2 words- COCONUT SYRUP! Best I've had on 3 islands! So good that I bought some to bring home! The pancakes were excellent. I loved that they had a large variety of flavors and toppings (and boy are the toppings piled high!) The entire menu had generous portions. The staff was amazingly friendly and very helpful (even with helping us learn how to pronounce Hawaiin words!!) Highly recommend!

  • Jason K.

    This place is top notch authentic Hawaiian food! Expect long lines, way out the door, but it's worth it. It is extremely casual, (order outside, pay at the counter, then sit down; plastic plates and silverware) but you get a nice ocean view and it is within walking distance to so many hotels. I tried quite a few loco mocos in Hawaii but I think this one was the best. The gravy was awesome. We came back a second day, and I had spam and eggs (very simple), and macadamia nut pancakes with coconut syrup. Mmmm!

    Not only was the service bad, they didn't let us know what they were out of. While waiting over 30mins we finally got seated. Took a while to get any service for drinks. Not even water was offered or given when first seated. When going up to pay, the cashier was rude when handed over credit card and military ID. Over all, this Waikiki location gives eggs n things a bad name... GO TO THE ALA MOANA LOCATION off piikoi!

    This place is neither as great, nor as bad, as the reviews. Prices are about average for Waikiki. The staff are friendly, and the restaurant efficiently serves competent breakfasts.This is not a fancy place, and food is served on paper plates, with plastic utensils. The restaurant has local character, and it is a good place to watch people if you sit on the street level. The upstairs, if you get a table by the window, gives a good view of the water and the banyan tree. Inside counter faces the wall and was likely noisy. You wait in a line on the stairs leading to the restaurant to place your order, and then wait for a table. Self-serve coffee. Get there early (before 8) to avoid the wait. Not certain what problem is about take outs -- there is a sign on one side of the lines clearly stating it is a line to order food to take out. With the friendliness of the staff and paper plates, can't understand why one could not get food to go. Eggs come with choice of potatoes, rice, or pancakes. Ham and cheese omelet served essentially pancake style (slightly dry) but with good portion of ham and cheese (choice of cheese). Bacon had four pieces of very thinly sliced bacon. Eggs over medium were cooked properly. Now on to the pancakes - Pancakes are basically buttermilk batter pancakes. You can "upgrade" your pancakes from regular buttermilk to macadamia nut or coconut. Macadamia nut pancake had good portion of nuts in buttermilk batter, and coconut had mixture of sliced and chunk coconut in buttermilk batter. Both had very good flavor and you can add either coconut, guava, or maple syrup. You can make the pancakes (which come with powdered sugar (not certain really necessary)) into a total calorie overload by requesting whipped cream. They do not scrimp on the whipped cream.

    After hearing all the hype about eggs 'n things I had to try it out because I was in the area. I always hear about how long people wait because it is so popular kinda deterred me from going. When we went at 7:30 PM there was only a two other people waiting. We only had a party of three so we only waited for about five minutes and our buzzer rang. We were seated by the window and our table was pretty small, so small that there was stool next to us with all the condiments. It was pretty busy with all the tourist. I think we were the only locals patrons. Our server was pretty quick to take our order. I ordered the special omelet with Canadian bacon with mushroom and pepper jack cheese. The food came out quick as well. The pepper jack cheese made my omelet really spicy and the best part is that nothing was burnt. The egg was cooked to perfection. My meal also came with potatoes which were pan fried until crispy. It was really good as well. In the end our waitress put the bill on our table. We have to go up to the cashier to pay our bill. You also leave your tip with the cashier and not on the table. Pretty good place to eat but if I had to wait more than 30 minutes then it would probably not be worth it. I Also I didn't like how the place felt really cramped. I was pretty much sitting a food away from the next table. But all in I would come back occasionally.

    We came here for breakfast twice so far during our Aloha Babymoon. Both times the food was great . They also have more than reasonable prices for all that you get and compared to a lot of other more expensive places on the Waikiki tourist strip. One major thing to note before we get to the food is that the wait times can be loooooong. You have to check in with the host to put your name on a list first. This list is just to get a pager whereby you have to wait again for the pager to go off before you finally get a table - it's quite the process. So if you are starving to a point of fainting then look elsewhere, but if you are patient then it is worth the wait. The downstairs area is the waiting/sales area. You can purchase their own brand of pancake syrups and pancake mix here. The upstairs area is where the people eat. There's a semi-outdoor area with bar stools, and then there's the indoor dining area with tables and chairs. We tried both areas. On the first day we ate in the indoor area and on the second day we sat in the outdoor area. The indoor area is more comfortable and the service is a little more attentive as well. My husband pointed out that he got his coffee refilled in the indoor area, while he only got one cup of coffee sitting at the outdoor bar. Overall though, the service is very friendly and really nice. On our first visit we got the Loco Moco, Ahi Steak & Eggs with Macadamia Nut Pancakes, and a side of Spam The Loco Moco is a wicked local dish that consists of a beef patty smothered in gravy and sausages and eggs best served on top of a bed of white rice. It's local, it's comfort and it's totally baller! The Ahi Steak and Eggs were substantial and satisfying. The Ahi Steak was huge and my scrambled eggs were nicely done. The Spam was gorgeously fried as well. On our second visit we had the Ham Chop with Eggs and the Island Style Fried Rice. The Ham Chops were fabulous - so, so good, with chunky meat on the bone with marrow to boot! The Fried Rice should have been called Kitchen Sink Fried Rice because of all the various and generous portions of goodies that were overflowing from this dish. The Pancakes though are the house specialty and they are good enough to make customers squeal in delight. Seriously, both times we visited there were tables of really cute Japanese tourists were literally squealing at how big the portions were, how pretty the pancakes looked, how good the house-made syrup was and how delicious they were. Add that all up and it equals a lot of mad squealing and a lot of simply good eating.

    This place is AWESOME!!!! OMG!!! The pancakes are well worth the wait!! We checked in about 9am and probably only waited for 20 mins. The service was great. Harold our server was AWESOME!! Super friendly with just the right amount of Aloha :) I love love this place and the food! The guava and coconut pancake syrup is so ONO! ( means delicious ) I will definitely wait up to an hour to eat here again....

  • Michael P.

    The service and the food was great!! Come with an appetite because you'll definitely be full especially if you order something that included pancakes. As for the pancakes I suggest the non traditional Coconut Syrup which should be a must if you visiting Hawaii. This establishment does have 3 locations but if making reservations is possible then I suggest that for breakfast hours. This location has the ability to make reservations using Open Table.

  • Michelle W.

    Sigh, I really, realllllly wanted to love this place. However, I've had A LOT better... First & foremost, the food is certainly not good enough to warrant the wait you will undoubtedly have if you go here. Second, don't get the crab cake Benedict. It was not good at all. The crab cakes were almost entirely bread. Secondly, when she said it came on a biscuit instead of an English muffin I was PUMPED, because I LOVEEEEEE biscuits. Sadly, the biscuit wasn't even cooked through :( part of it was literally raw dough. So, I guess you know they actually make the biscuits....they just need to cook them. So, honestly don't get these unless you want a patty of breadcrumbs, on a raw biscuit, covered with Hollandaise sauce... Third, I don't know why everyone thinks these pancakes are the best things ever. We split macadamia nut pancakes and the pineapple pancakes and they were just OK. Nothing wrong with them, but they weren't the best pancakes ever like many of the reviews state. Maybe my expectations were too high after reading reviews? The pancakes at least are a safe bet though, at least they were cooked through. The saving grace was the staff. They were all very friendly and nice. Once you actually got your seat, everything came out relatively quickly. I just wish the food would have been better so I could have given more stars.... I just wouldn't ever go back here. That is all.

    Not that impressed. 1. They won't exchange any ingredients. I asked if I could have tomatoes instead of zucchini, in the veggie omelet. Waiter says, "no, but we can take out the zucchini and charge you $2.25 for tomatoes." Seriously? That's ridiculous. They would charge me for an item I'm not getting AND charge more for the other?! Cheap bastards. 2. I was a party of 1. I was asked if I would share a table... Uh NO. Then was told "well you can't sit by the window because those are for larger parties." Hello discrimination, how are you? 3. They serve the food on paper plates. I don't care how the food is at this point.

    My Friend had told me this is a MUST go place in Hawaii and the Macadamia Pancake is a must try! So ever since we arrived at Hawaii, I had been bugging my boyfriend to go there! So finally on our last day in Hawaii we went there for Lunch - after an hr or so wait, we were finally seated upstairs. I ordered the Macadamia Pancakes and my boyfriend the Blueberry- which I felt was better tasting than the Macadamia pancakes. I kind of forgot about the food i ordered but i thought it was just Okay- My Boyfriend, on the other hand who is a pretty picky food critic actually enjoyed Eggs n' Things the most from our whole trip! As we were packing our leftover to go - We had to pay an extra 50 cents for the box (which i thought was ridiculous) but apparently these are "Recycle boxes" or something so its Very expensive!

  • Pete T.

    Heard too much about the place to not try it. It's a hot bed for the Japanese tourists here, and the service staff is accommodating by actually speaking a mix of Japanese and English to get orders taken. Pretty amazing to see a Caucasian lady in her mid-50s saying 'mahalo-gozaimasu'! Anyway, pancakes were dope. Fluffy and eggy. We also got an acai bowl, which was so refreshing!

  • Joy L.

    Yes, this place is a tourist attraction....but it's worth coming to for breakfast. My husband and I had a 20 minute wait and were seated at the bar overlooking the street. I ordered the ham and eggs and upgraded to the banana pancakes. My husband ordered the corned beef hash and eggs with rice. The banana pancakes are simply orgasmic. The banana slices are cooked right into the pancake and the pancakes were fluffy. It comes with guava syrup, maple and coconut syrup, all of which are good. My ham was a long strip that was pan fried, nothing special. My eggs were cold-ish. My husband loved his corned beef hash and eggs and the only thing keeping him from giving this place 5 stars is that the corned beef was out of a can and not homemade. Our order plus iced coffee and hot coffee came to $35 which is overpriced for breakfast...i would give this place 5 stars if it wasn't as expensive. Service is pretty fast given that this place is constantly busy. Overall a good place to check out if you're in the area.

    I think breakfast here is "as good as it gets". Having gotten into Honolulu late the night before my daughter and I were both hungry so we headed out for breakfast. We got to Egg 'N Things mid-morning on a Saturday and had less than a 10 minute wait. The food overall here was exceptional and there was something about the staff that made me like this place even more. They were all overly friendly and service was great. The pancakes are a MUST to try. We went with the Macadamia Nut ($8.95) and were served 5 huge pancakes that were easy to share for the two us. They were perfectly prepared, fluffy and moist. I topped them off with the guava syrup (coconut was too sweet for me) and wish I could go back for more. Add some freshly squeezed pineapple juice and fresh papaya and you've got a meal made in heaven. Given the quantities prices are very reasonable. Don't confuse this location with the Egg 'N Things that is near the Waikiki Circle Hotel as that's more of a "self serve" restaurant. I would much prefer the ambiance at the Saratoga location. The decor and seating options add to the experience.

  • Mathias H.

    I am not sure why Eggs 'N Things have such a good reputation. It seems extremely popular with visiting tourists and I had heard good things about it as well. We decided to visit and we had a short 15minute wait for a table. Service was a bit confused (coming back twice to check on simple orders). Food was not bad but nothing special (omelet and pancakes) and seems slightly more expensive than what this level of quality should cost. Would not visit again if I end up being in Waikiki.

    Pros Great service from the wait staff, super cute Hawaiian aprons were also a plus Yummy coconut syrup, way better than the kind at the abc store Pancakes were good Cons Breakfast minus the pancakes was just ok Staff downstairs and hostesses were a little short with customers. The hostess just pointed to the staircase to the restaurant, took us a few tires to figure out what she was pointing to

    The wait was so long and the food wasn't even that good. They only reason I came here was to use my iDcard & cuz people said its mad good. So I had to try it out myself and was everyone wrong. I think when people are on vacation their taste buds are broken or on vacation too. Only thing is that is good is I got a discount using my iDcard card. I won't be returning.

  • Alan B.

    We lucked out when we came here because this was one of those few occasions when they didn't have a wait time, mainly because the APEC convention blocked off most of the traffic. THANKS OBAMA! So we were seated on five minutes and ordered the mac nut pancakes, and fresh ahi steak. The fish was a bit overdone, but the Cajun seasoning was very nice. My time in Oahu had me eating fish everyday so having fish for breakfast was now the norm. The pancakes were great and both the coconut or guava syrups complimented the pancakes like lingerie on Marisa Miller. Although not as spectacular as Boots and Kimo's, it's the best in the Waikiki area.

    (4)

  • Jason D.

    The food was great and the portions are huge. Either get the mac nut pancakes as a side or a full order. Make sure you put the coconut syrup on them. I'd give 5 stars if the eggs weren't so oily and the bacon was crisper. I would go back the next time I'm here

  • Ryan M.

    Very overrated. Unfortunately, the star of their menu -- specialty pancakes -- are inconsistent at best and not anything to write about in particular. The cherry (or pineapple and macadamia nuts) on top is that the syrup provided is bland and not exactly of a high-quality. On the other hand, the omelets are generally good, though very salty, especially if you have one with bacon. The service is friendly, but everything pretty much requires you to line up first: you order from a line, pay from a line, and then receive your food and drinks from a line. This, to me, seems, a lot like a soup kitchen, all for which you pay quite a bit (about $15-$20 per person). Overall, it is a pleasant place to visit and seems to be in a very popular place. This popularity makes the lines unusually long, and as stated, there are quite a few lines you will be standing in if you patronize this establishment. I cannot recommend it.

    Went here today, since I rely on my fellow Yelpers when checking out dining options I thought I would post immediately. This is the first time I gave a 2 star and 1 star on account of the very nice host downstairs. Do not fall for the hype. Service..Im speechless, I would rather eat at a Chinese restaurant with waiters not having eye contact than this place, needs management to fix this ASAP. Had to wait 15 minutes for order to be taken and felt ignored (not cool) on top of the 30 min wait to be seated(expected). Food was underwhelming, ordered the Portuguese sausage with macadamia pancakes(plain pancakes with a sprinkling macadamias as an afterthought), the eggs with sausage dry and weird texture. I expected better since it was recommended by our airport pickup driver, a local.Maybe just marketing, not sure why it's so popular

  • Jennifer D.

    FOOD: Got the bacon cheese potato omelette. HUGE. Took up 80-percent of the clamshell it came in (I did takeout). Egg itself was fluffy and it was packed with bacon.The filling-to-egg ratio here weighs too much on the filling side for me. There must've more than six strips of bacon in there, so it was really salty. But seriously, can you really complain about too much bacon in your omelette? I think not. Next time, I'll get an extra scoop of rice and split the omelette with my man. SERVICE: Waikiki location's service is stellar! Walk in and you'll see two lines: one for takeout and another for dining in. The wait for dining in can be 45 minutes. Takeout line moves fast. Even when it's long, the servers take your order on mobile devices before you get to the register to pay. Waited less than 10 minutes after putting my order in.

    4 star only because of the wait. Went for Saturday breakfast at 9:30. 6 of us. Seated by 10:15. Food served by 11. Best Fried Rice I have ever had. And this is comparing local and mainland restaurants. Smoky flavor with veggies (mushrooms, celery, bean sprouts, green onions) kamaboko, portuguese sausage, spam=ONO! Crab cake Benedict - tasty. Hawaiian Loco had mushrooms and onions added - yummy- but burger little too well done. Omelette sizes were very generous. Coffee was bottomless and flavor as good as aroma. Pancakes received thumbs up. Looking forward to their chicken fried steak for dinner!

  • Michael B.

    Sunday morning time waster. Waited an hour only to see four other tables for two get seated before us for no good reason (the checkin guy was confused as to why they skipped us over and the manager upstairs offered neither a reason or an apology). Waited for 5 minutes and had to find a server myself before we could place an order. We should have just walked. Regardless of food quality (average/good) no restaurant deserves the business when the provide such crappy service. Avoid this tourist trap.

    I was expecting a long wait and so-so food, BUT the wait was not that long (maybe because APEC was here) and the food was delicious! I tried the Spinach, Bacon, and Cheese (mozzarella) Omelet with potatoes. The cheese was gooey and melty and the bacon just added that extra kick to the light n fluffy omelet. The potatoes were crispy and flavorful. My friend tried the Corned Beef Hash & Eggs and I thought it was just ok. The service was excellent and the waiters/waitresses were so nice! Will definitely go back!

    This is for the location at Saratoga; my wife and I ate here at about 9:45 am on a Sunday. The wait wasn't bad- around 15-20 min as promised. We ordered the pancakes with Macadamia nuts (used coconut syrup on half, guava syrup on the rest) and Hawaiian Moco Loco, and they were both delicious. Our server recommended Tabasco sauce for the Moco Loco, and he was right. We had noticed the hit-or-miss reviews for this place, and made a point to select local-style dishes. Maybe this is why we loved it?

  • Dee M.

    Breakfast Dining 1/14/10 I definitely agree with Tammy T on this place. This place does not live up to the hype. The BF and I arrived at approximately 8:30 and the wait was 45 minutes. In actuality, it ended up being closer to one hours. We figured it had to be worth it based on the wait and glowing reviews. The atmosphere: This is probably the smallest dining establishment in Waikiki for breakfast. When your buzzer goes off you are told to proceed upstairs to a room that doesn't look like it seats more than 50 or so people - and this includes the counter style bar seating outside where they cram you in like sardines. The service: Needs vast improvement. While waiting the BF wondered upstairs to look for the bathroom. The snobby hostess (Justine I believe her name is - fluent in Japanese) told him he didn't have any business upstairs. He was fuming! That alone made our decision to never return. Justine was overly friendly and accommodating to the Japanese patrons, perhaps we just didn't fit the mold. That is very unfortunate. Shame on you Eggs & Things! You really need to step up your game on customer service. Understand that no one group of peoples green is better than the other. Too bad you have to be put on notice about such common sense practices. The food: Just okay, but definitely nothing to write home about. I ordered the spinach, bacon, and cheese omelet. The BF ordered an omelet as well. I was not impressed. I enjoy my omelet with all the fix-ins cooked well throughout, not simply thrown inside when the egg is cooked and then flipped over. What a disappointment. The pancakes were good. However, I would definitely recommend skipping Eggs & Things. Walk to IHOP for excellent service, consistently good pancakes and coffee. And as usual, at IHOP the price is always right.

    Since I'm from the East Coast, whenever my family and I used to come to Hawaii we would have crazy jet lag and wake up at the crack of dawn....The old Eggs and Things (on Kalakaua) was close to us so we would go and have breakfast before it got busy.... Now, its moved to Saratoga street and is like a breakfast magnet for Japanese tourists, which is fine...but unless you go at like 7am, you'll be waiting at least 30-45 minutes..Guarantee. The new space actually has the same number of seats as the previous location (I asked) And there isn't much to explore on that street while you are waiting but a smoke shop...(They give you a buzzer, so you can't wander too far) The food has gone down a little I think...Honestly, as crazy as this sounds, I feel as though since now they are crowded even more than before, the chef's aren't putting as much love in each plate and instead are just cooking plates of food as fast as they can...I'm not saying you can't get a good breakfast, its just not as good as before. I like the lemon crepe, its crispy and buttery on the edges, soft center, and filled with a nice tarty lemon filling. The omelets are HUGE, they use 3 eggs and are stuffed with whatever toppings you choose. They are good, but nothing special. The pancakes are popular and although I have never ordered them myself, they are not bad. On the fluffier side and some are served with a heap of whipped cream and fruit. The prices of dishes range from $7-15.

    Great place for families! If you have kids, you have to unleash them on the pancakes! The servings are "generous" so don't be afraid to share one plate instead of ordering separately. This place is popular so expect about a thirty minute wait, but it is worth it. Enjoy!

    One of the best breakfast places we went to during our stay in Oahu during November of 2011. Their macadamia nut pancake w/ coconut syrup (they also had guava & maple syrup) was to die for! God was it so delicious! The pancakes were so fluffy and soft, extremely savory, and abundant. The coconut syrup was so tasty! I regret not buying a jar of their coconut syrup to bring back home. Their portugese sausage with scrambled eggs and green onions was also very delicious as well. But, my favorite was the mac nut pancake w/ coconut syrup! The plantation ice tea (pineapple juice & tea) was yummy, but their kona coffee was truly amazing. Try coming here early before the place opens (preferably 30 minutes earlier) as it gets really packed and the wait is usually more than 30 minutes. Eggs & Things is truly a great place for breakfast, and it is one of the few food places I miss tremendously from my trip there. I wish NYC had a shop like this. I would come eat there every week!

    We stayed at the hotel nearby so we were able to head to the restaurant pretty early. The wait was about 20-30minutes, but the weather was so nice we really didnt feel like we waited for so long. Plus there is a small gift shop you can walk around in. The pancakes were AMAZING! I got the original and it was still yummier than iHop. My husband got the Macadamia Nut one and it was even better! Yummy maple or coconut syrup to choose from. And I highly recommend the portuguese sausage. So good! OH, and the guava juice was soooo good! Tasted like they had just juiced it! (I wonder if they did?!) Harold was our server and was so nice! He found out I could read japanese and whole conversation started:) I asked where there would be a good coffee cafe near by and said that there are not that many and had the coffee they sell downstairs to be sent up so we could try it!! SO very friendly. This place is also opened in Harajuku Tokyo, and their wait time is at LEAST an hour (some wait 2 hours or more) This place wasnt bad and is def better than a chain that you see on the mainland. Want to go back to try more things!

    Long wait to be seated. Could not substitute onions for hhe spinach in my omelette and charged us 2.25$ more even though it was an easy switch and both are veggies. Food very bland. Only good hing was the fresh orange juice.

    Definitely lots of tourists and business during the early hours. The island(?) fried rice & eggs was awesome, huge and heavy. I'm less an eggs person so I was all about the fried rice, yo... and could... not... finish it. Good stuff, though, and my soy latte was great.

    Really, it is that good! Be prepared to wait for a table but once you get one service is quick and attentive. Food comes in large quantities and cooked perfectly. My husband had the crab cake eggs benedict and declared it the best he ever had. I had an omelet which was too big to finish- probably because I ate almost all of the macadamia nut pancakes that came with it. Absolutely go again and again!

    We went in early morning so the restaurant want crowded yet which means service was pretty attentive. The food options were plenty and cheap. Looked so good that I wanted to try everything on the menu. We ordered Da French and the Coconut Pancakes. Both were delicious but the Coconut Pancake is a must try. Large yummy breakfast food under $10 each person.

    Wow this place is crowded every day. I've seen this place in Japan before and it was twice as packed there. I knew I had to bookmark this spot and eat here. The wait was about an hour and it was pretty worth it. We were seated upstairs. I already knew what I wanted to order from the Yelp reviews. The service here is amazing. The server gave us other recommendations to restaurants to try out also. Got us our food out fairly quickly as well I had the portuguese sausage with sunny side up eggs and brown rice. I also ordered a side of mac pancakes. The sausages were delicious. I really enjoy the brown rice texture and the eggs you can't go wrong here. The pancakes were different. It had macadamian nuts on it. The syrups had three to choose from. The original, guava, or coconut. My favorite was the coconut syrup with a different taste than you get anywhere else. I also had the fresh orange juice that gets shipped in everyday. delicious! For you tourists this is the spot to hit up Recommendation. Mac pancakes with your portuguese sausage and eggs.

    Huge waits, not worth the wait time. Droves of tourists. Portion size very average for a man. Taste - nothing special. Pancakes and breakfast in general is better over at Wailana Coffee house. Less wait time as well. Our server was a sweet grandma. Best part of the experience. Don't believe the hype!

  • Daneya W.

    Portuguese sausage & eggs... Goood! I upgraded to macadamia nut pancakes & was happy. Make sure you try all 3 syrups, as they are special & interesting. Of course, as previously commented on, there was a wait. I would go again. Our servers were courteous. Price was reasonable for the area.

  • Brad M.

    Unfortunately this place is living off inertia. Those that remember what it was originally like and can't face the reality of this place today. Japanese tourists get dropped here by busload and if you happen to be walking up as I was, you'll get trampled. To summarize Eggs is a tourist trap masquerading as a boutique breakfast joint. Food was average. Service was slow because even at 0650am, the place was packed. Prices were what you would expect and a place trying to sell ambiance to tacky tourists, very high. Just walk by the place and see the chaos surrounding it yourself. Do you want to sling some hash and stuff bisquick pancakes down your throat and pay too much for the "experience" of being there? Then enjoy, but don't say you weren't warned.

  • Diana K.

    I have been a fan of this place for many years. It just isn't the same quality since they moved from their old location. The pancakes were always beyond compare but this time they arrived cold and so heavy that they required carving with my knife. Will not go back again however the service was excellent.

  • Nathan J.

    Highly overrated. I think this place garnered a following by simply being open late or early, depending on where you are coming from. Service is absolutely horrible and unorganized. I had a buzzer that never went off so everyone who came after me got a seat before me and the host never offered any apologies or a solution, he simply said that I would be next. Tables are much too close or in horrible configurations to fit a lot of people inside. Food is edible.

  • Mark W.

    Don't be lured by the line-up outside. You are missing nothing by walking on by. The breakfast was ok, nothing special. The service was below par. The cutlery and plates were all paper and plastic! You might as well walk another block to MacDonalds.

  • Greg S.

    REALLY!!!!!!!!!! After seeing all the commercials and long lines. DONT WASTE 40 minutes of your vacation on this. Overpriced over hyped. The food wasnt bad it was just breakfast. Go to Dennys , go anywhere. I guess they dont serve Pancakes in Japan. There were couples happily taking pictures of themselves with their pancakes with whip cream. Jesus!!!!!!!! Finally for eggs and things, no one wants to sit outside and eat while a line of people are standing there watching like they are at a zoo, and no one wants to sit next to a total stranger and listen to them smack their food and slurp their coffee. OVERRATED

  • Kimmy G.

    Yes, you wll come here and wait for awhile. And yes, there are many tourists that eat here. But here's the thing...the food here is good. Plain and simple. The food is good, with portions being on the larger side. The service is good, and people here are friendly. It looks like they are getting ready to expand, so hopefully that will help cut down on wait time. Their menu has a lot of selection so you should be able to find something you like. If you are visiting Hawaii come on a weekday and then you won't have to wait as long (we waited 20 minutes). Try it, it's good.

    Good breakfast spot. I went as a two top on a Friday around 1p and we had to wait 30 minutes... Not terrible. I had a sausage and pepper omelette with the macadamia nut pancakes. The omelette was very forgettable, but the pancakes were five stars for sure. The experience of eating at this place is how I substantiate my overall 4 star review. The host was friendly and the rest of the staff was attentive but Hawaiian-style laid back. Also the iced Kona was good.

  • Nai S.

    Highly overrated. Food was just OK; nothing over the top where I wanted to make sure you try. Lines are extremely long; it's about a 30-45 minutes wait. And then once you order, if there's no seat you have to wait another 5-10 minutes!! Oh! And another 10 minutes to get your food! I think the wait time is so long is because they have one guy running around serving all the tables. Poor guy, it's ridiculous. I wouldn't be back if I ever make it back to Hawaii!

  • Jacy C.

    Scattered service and overpriced. Waited 20+ minutes to sit on my own and then another 30 minutes for food. It was very busy at 10:00am. I spent fifteen dollars here for one iced coffee and a blueberry waffle. That's correct, one waffle. They do not have real maple syrup either. Cheaper than a hotel breakfast but nowhere near the quality.

  • Mary S.

    Saw the line-up every morning and thought it must be worth the wait. Stood in line for about 30 mins. Felt like walking into a food factory. We were asked for our order and had to pay before we got seated. Here's the best part, when we were seated at the bar facing the wall. All the utensils were plastic and paper plates (talk about not being eco friendly). My husbands's waffle was cold and hard and my strawberry pancakes were terrible. The pancake mix at Costco is 10 times better. Save your money and time and go to Mcdonalds next door. The food there is much better.

  • Zillah S.

    Rude staff. If your whole party is not present, they give your table away. You can only place your order once. You cannot order more food later. Thats fine. We can take our business somewhere else. You really have to sit & wait & be ready to order once you get seated. This is a slow fast food sit down place.

  • Sandy N.

    Nothing special here. The most entertaining thing about this place was the little black guy that speaks Japanese so well and how he entertained the Japanese tourist. He was very comedic and fun to watch. As for the food, it was OK for breakfast. I had their blueberry whip cream waffle. I asked the server to put the blueberries on the side and she gave me a blank stare and repeated my request as if she never heard of such request. My waffle was a little bit too crunchy. It wasn't even soft and fluffy inside, just crunchy! Not how I like my waffle. The BF had their turkey bacon, tomato & cheese omelet with a side of white toast. Well Everything got to the table except for the omelet! He waited for almost 10 min for his omelet, even though the server would come around and tell us she's just waiting on the omelet. Well, if she really wanted a good tip then she wouldn't have brought out the toast while waiting 10 min for an omelet! I would look elsewhere for breakfast, but the price was cheap for breakfast.

  • Piano K.

    Highly overrated! As many of you have noted, the wait is ridiculous and the food is no better than the McDonalds a block over! Do not be fooled by the long lines! I ordered the eggs benedict and both eggs were cooked fully through and one was just the cooked yoke. They have one guy running around waiting tables and our breakfast was skipped quite a few times before we finally had our meal. Folks, don't waste you time or money here, go else where!

  • Ed C.

    The good thing was that the coconut syrup for pancakes was delicious...the bad thing was that I ordered eggs and potatoes and only got to taste the pancakes from my sister's plate. The eggs were ok, but the potatoes were dry and kinda hard like they were under a warmer all morning, but it was like 8am. I think you can get breakfast elsewhere, where there's not as much a looong line...but if you do go there, get the pancakes with their specialty syrup.

    My true test for an incredible breakfast is whether or not there are old guys there by themselves waiting for food and not the west hollywood type. This is a great breakfast joint. Eggs, bacon, pancakes, the works. Wait was short, staff is nice and attentive. Meal was hearty. Eat a lot, eat here often.

    Eggs 'N Things is fine, though no breakfast is worth a 40-minute wait. The service was good and friendly. When our crab cakes benedict came out cold, they quickly shipped them back to the kitchen, where they were remade and piping hot. Pineapple pancakes were divine. My spam omelet wasn't so great. Was trying to be local but couldn't get past the extreme saltiness. I've had spam before, and it was never that salty. On a weekday, when every other restaurant within walking distance stops serving breakfast at 10:30, Eggs 'N Things, which serves breakfast all day, becomes the de facto place to go. That's both good and bad.

    During our 10 day stay, me and my girlfriend must have eaten here for breakfast 4 out of the 10 days. We heard great things about it. The main thing is to try and get here by 8am (or earlier if you can wake up that early). The line gets pretty long, especially if you have more than 2 people. There are times we line up, and get a table much faster than the other parties because we only have 2 people. For the price, you will definitely get full. I'm a big eater, and for about $10-11, you'll be full until lunch time. We tried several pancakes: macadamia nut, banana, pineapple, and chocolate chip. All of them were crazy good, but I personally like the banana one the most. They also have 3 types of syrup: maple, guava, and coconut. Me and my gf both liked the coconut one the most. (If you want to bring some home, they sell them at the ABC Stores.) We also tried a few of their omelettes. My favorite one was the spinach, bacon, and cheese one. If you wanna try a little variety, you can order an omelette (which comes with a side of pancakes) and pay a few bucks extra and upgrade from a plain pancake to any other one. Definitely a great breakfast spot in Waikiki!

  • Marilyn T.

    This came highly recommended by my friend, who's a local. We were prepared for a wait, but they're pretty bad at estimating wait times. From the time we got the pager to the time we sat down, it was about an hour (initially quoted as 20-25 minutes). The upstairs area is pretty small, which explains the wait. It's mostly open air indoor seating, but there's a small covered outdoor area, too. Our server was the stereotypical diner waitress, trying to put up a smile, not the most patient, with the attitude like she's been doing her job for decades. They're known for their pancakes, which are the fluffiest pancakes I've ever had. The omelettes come with 3 pancakes, and you can upgrade to the specialty pancakes for a little extra. I went with chocolate chip, which had a good amount of semi sweet chips mixed into the batter and on top. The omelette itself is pretty big. I had the turkey bacon, tomato, and cheese. I requested pepper jack (you can choose your cheese) and ended up with cheddar, There was a generous amount of bacon in it, which helped the flavor a lot. It comes with a home made salsa, which scrambled eggs come with, too. The waffles have one per serving. We got the blueberry one; most come with a ton if whipped cream, which is probably why people like it so much. Otherwise, it was just a regular thin waffle (not belgian style). Each table has 3 kinds of syrup: maple, coconut, and pineapple. The wait for a table is long, but the food comes out at a decent pace. Bathrooms downstairs are clean, pay at the cashier. Prices are pretty steep, but that's what you get for brunch in Waikiki.

    Not terrible but not terribly good. Eggs cold. Sausage grilled but tasted microwaved. Definitely overpriced. Pancakes good. Potatoes hot and crisp but definitely from freezer bag. Wouldn't come back.

  • Naoko S.

    Am I only one feeling so sad and disappointed? I have been to this place more than 20 years(yes, more than twenty years!!) since it had an old location which was burned out. For a long time, I needed to go there when I was in town. It has become more commercialized with a forever wait. Food was always amazing which we could not find even in our Manhattan. But somehow not anymore. Food is fine, but their food doesn't justify the long wait any more. There are many more yummy places out there now. Very sad.

  • Mui Mui K.

    Came here with 3 teenage boys and 3 adults at 7am, and there was already a line. This is a good sign. Once we sat down, we couldn't wait to order. The pancakes were massive, yet fluffy. My french toast was one of the best I've ever had. Two boys ordered the Loco Moco. For breakfast? You bet! AND they were delicious. The reason for a 4 and not 5 star rating is the coffee. They need to work on that. We love this place and will come again next time we're in town.

  • Amanda L.

    First I have to say, the food is good. We ordered pancakes and the egg Benedict. Both tasted nice. But the service here can't be praised at all. We waited 20 min-ish so we were already prepared for what to order. When we sit down and signaled the waiter that we were ready to order, one of them (no idea who would serve our table) signaled us back with a gesture like pushing out something. We understood that meant "wait for your turn", but there was no any other customer placing order and they three waiters/waitress were there chatting. Finally after another 15-min, one waiter came to our table with an attitude. Our order was simple, pancakes and egg Benedict, no fancy stuff. It seemed that he wasn't happy with our not that big order. Anyway, later the check came with clear "suggestion" of gratitude of %16+. With that quality of service, we decided not to leave any tip, but the cashier lady wasn't happy about it. She asked for the tip, we firmly said no, then of course, you could imagine her attitude. If we could directly tip the cook, we would have done so. Their waiters and waitress? No way. That was our first day in Waikiki so we went to this Eggs'n Things. Later we found there were other Eggs'n Things around. So my suggestion would be, avoid this specific location and try their good food from other Eggs'n Things restaurants.

    I wanted to try this place last time I was here in Waikiki but there was a line-up so we gave up. This time I was determined to try it out and I was prepare to line-up for 30-45 mins. I love eggs, pancakes and waffle so nothing could go wrong right? My partner and I ordered waffles w/ blueberries, spinach bacon cheddar omelette and their special banana pancakes. So.. their waffle: beautifully put together with a mountain of whipped cream and fresh blueberries but the waffle was hard as rock! How are you supposed to eat it? With our hands? Using a fork and knife was useless. omelette: was super duper salty because they overdoes'd it with chopped up bacons. The cheddar cheese was not even distributed so the center was gaggingly salty. banana pancake: was standard, nothing special. Service was good when we sat down (but he was abit distracted with another server talking to him). After that our server somehow disappeared throughout the whole meal. I had to ask someone else for water and the bill. I wouldn't come here again, I'd rather go to Denny's =(

    Try the calamari steak, it's different than anything I've ever had.... Coconut syrup is amazing! Be prepared to wait, or go late (after 8ish) Love the variety on the menu, upstairs dining is hot but it's fun to look out and people-watch from the balcony.

    "Maybe we can sleep in I'll make you banana pancakes pretend like it's the weekend now" I LOVE BANANA PANCAKES! And I LOVE breakfast goodies! Which makes my relationship with Eggs N Things a match made in heaven. :) There are a few things you should know about Eggs N Things before you come.... 1) The line can be ridiculous at times but so worth the wait. So go early!! 2) Eggs N Things must be listed in some Japanese Tourism guide because loads of tourists get dropped off by the busloads at times. 3) Portion sizes are HUGE! (Including their bucket-size colas.....) Their Banana Pancakes are one of the best I've ever had. Light and fluffy with chopped bananas in the batter and on top! With just a drizzle of their syrup over the cakes and I'm a happy camper! Their coconut syrup is also amazing! yelp.com/biz_photos/V1iK… To fulfill my savory side, I often order a side of their Portuguese sausage or thick cut bacon. The last time we went, the bf ordered the Corn Beef Hash Plate that came with eggs over easy, home fries, toast, and a TON of corn beef. As for me, I got my staple banana pancakes yelp.com/biz_photos/V1iK… Note: They've moved locations from Kalakaua to Saratoga Road.

    Long lines, minimal seating, expensive food, little portions. Got some kind of omelette and it tasted like rubber eggs. The waffle was so small and thin and they tried to make up for it with a ton of whipped cream and powdered sugar. Never ever going back! So not worth the wait

  • Erin V.

    8/1/13- update. Service was poor. Meals came out at different times. Didn't get the water we asked for. The server made sure to tell us that the restaurant only allows one time orders, so were we sure it was enough food? Really? The crepes were overdone- a tad crunchy. Tasted good.

    Ok so I gotta give eggs n things props for their location. But honestly that's all it is, convenient.... First of all the wait is horribly long I mean an hour half wait for seats at 11:00 makes no sense what so ever. There problem is that they don't have enough space or they're not using it properly. Plus the breakfast food is good but it's not like something that makes me want to go back. I mean zippy's has better breakfast food all day 24/7 now. But I am a big sucker for local companies so how can I write a review without writing something good? Well I do like the cute little souvenir shop downstairs, and that's another thing I like about this place is how they got a up stairs and down stairs! It gives this place a homey feeling which is perfect to attract tourist and even locals like me ;).

    The place had a line on a Thursday morning that took at least 30 minutes to get through. Despite being told by a pleasant male host named Gordon, that it would just be 15 minutes. I knew it wouldn't and my desire for Eggs Benedict kept me in line. That and jokes by a passing Gordon occasionally. It was an odd arrangement: your order is taken digitally by someone whilst you waiteth in line! To add to the peculiarity even further....you PAY BEFORE you eat! My only guess as to the reason for that was to keep the flow going?! As long as they didn't ask me next what I thought of the food BEFORE EATING it too, THAT would be where I drew the line!! The place was small, cozy and with mostly Japanese tourists. A few tables faced the sidewalk giving view of the glorious Waikiki beach and turquoise waters. Our food came quickly once our UFO lit up on the table- I'd say another 10 minutes later, and was served on paper plates, the other meal ALREADY in a to-go box! Our waiter was pleasant and took time to chat local chat. But I could see the entire thing was set up for a get in-get out vibe, where you feel basically GUILTY staying 2 minutes past the time your paper plate was picked up, just to take it all in, as at least 20 people stood waiting impatiently to be next. I don't care for that kind of rusty vibe. But the food was GREAT. Warning: Eggs Benedict was NOT your traditional English Muffin, but a BISCUIT, and I opted for two small pancakes which were a choice along with potatoes or something else. The portion was perfect, I ate it ALL, but then again, I was FAMISHED!!!

    Always have to come here, it's like a tradition of mine. Used to come here when it was in its original location. The wait is always long but worth it. I'm excited about there being 3 locations now. I go between the coconut pancakes, banana pancakes and the macadamia nut pancakes, always with coconut syrup of course. The servers are always so nice and quick. There are lots of omelettes to choose from and lots of pancakes and waffle options. A friend had a aqai bowl here which looked good. When we ordered this time, the server warned us they only do one order so if you forget something you're out of luck. (Up the river without ur eggs!!) There us lots of seating for the wait and it's definitely a spot you need to hit while being in waikiki!! Be there or be square!

    Save your Money, time, frustration and much more....and go somewhere else. I waited for 45 min for a debacle of a breakfast. Wait in a line for 45 min, then you give your order to the hostess, then She points you in a direction wait in another line to pay for your breakfast that you haven't even seen or tasted yet. Then the cashier points you into another line to get a table. So your finally seated and the a minute after your seated your food is there on a paper plate, plastic forks, and you have to go get your own coffee n drinks. My omelette was a gross butter ball, I lifted the omelet up and greasy butter was all over the paper plate. Pancakes were so bland (Mac Nut) and the Macadamia but were crushed and sprinkle on top. Our syrup had ants crawling all over it and the container looked like it hasn't been cleaned in weeks. So here's the cost..... Coffee, tropical ice tea, Macadamia pancakes, Spinach and mushroom omelet $43.70. Oh and a couple chopped up pieces of pineapple for the pancakes was $4.50 extra. Seriously you grow them down the street! I'll never go back.

  • Priscilla T.

    The wait was 30+ min at about 9 for 4 people. I had the corn beef hash and eggs with the pancake side upgraded to the macadamia nut pancakes. The macadamia nut pancakes here are NO JOKE; they are seriously delicious and made the whole wait worth it. The coconut sauce with the pancakes was like a match made in heaven...the corn beef hash was nothing to rave about, so stick with what the reviews say, PANCAKES. Safe to say, these were the best pancakes I've ever had!! I also had the iced cappuccino which I thought was delicious, so I came back a couple days later just for takeout coffee at the downstairs area. This was a major disappointment, they offered many coffee drinks but not the one that i wanted. I ended up ordering an iced latte which tasted horribly watered down. i do NOT recommend ordering any coffee drink from the takeout area. on a side note, the staff was very friendly even for such a busy restaurant

    3.5 ! So a friend of our wanted to take us to this place because it's always crowded. I thought he went there before but it turns out he didn't. So what can I say about this popular breakfast place? I'd recommend it if only you're willing to wait. Other than that, it's really not worth it! #1: The wait is LONG. It's at least 1 hr OR more. First, you have to put your name on the waiting list. Wait for 20 minutes till you get the pager. #2: Service is really awesome there, I give them that! Even then, I don't think it makes up for the long wait though #3: Their specialty would be pancakes! They have different flavors or is it toppings (?) compared to your typical breakfast restaurants. Don't order a plate of pancake itself because you get at least 6 big ones....it's TOO MUCH!!! #4: I shared the omelet dish and I'm not sure the exact name for it but I thought it was okay! It has bacon & spinach in there. Our dish came with 3 pancakes too so that was more than enough. If you want to exchange your pancakes topping with another one, they charge extra for that.

    I ordered the Hawaiian Loco Moco, and needless to say it was great :) I've been away from home too long and I've missed the loco moco, and the restaurant definitely put a great twist to the ol' time favorite. The restaurant is nestled underneath the Waikiki Circle Hotel, and its pretty neat. It was a little bit odd that though its "waiter service", some things were "self-serve" like the water. I'm not gonna go crazy over a simple water service, but if you're gonna go for restaurant style standard, why not serve water as well? We ordered them as our drinks at the counter, and weren't told earlier that we had to get it ourselves, and so we sat almost finishing our entire dinner waiting for something we expected to be brought to us, but was actually something we needed to get ourselves. First time customers wont get it right off the bat, customer service should at least inform them of the local do's.

    Be prepared for a wait, but it is worth it. In addition to eggs, there are many different options for pancakes and french toasts. Prices for sides were a bit high, but food in general is expensive in Hawaii. Loved the different syrup options and most tables at least have a partial view of the ocean.

  • Marsea M.

    I came here with my mister this morning for breakfast and I'm at loss for words. I ordered the veggie omelet with pancakes and wow, it was perfect. I wasn't sure if I made the right choice because the special pancakes sounded so much better than the plain ones that came with my omelet but it was the syrup selection that made them so great. I tried the mac nut, the guava and the coconut syrups. The coconut was the best -it was like liquid haupia. I was full but I wanted to keep enjoying the taste. My mister got the Hawaiian fried rice with eggs and I kept taking some because it was so good. If I have time to go back, I might try something else but it might be hard not getting the same thing. Can't mess with a good thing, right? As far as service went, the host was nice and so was our waitress. Very lively people in a small yet busy establishment. The only thing I didn't care for was the seating we had. We sat on stools and there wasn't a place to put my purse. But the attentive waitress did bring me an extra stool when she saw me with my purse still on my shoulder. In all, I definitely recommend this restaurant and look forward to coming again!

    My mother and I were staying in a hotel next to this place and kept seeing the long lines, so we decided to try it. The way this place works, is that while you are in line, you decide what to order. Once you get to the front, you relay that order to their waiter. Then, if you are with at least another person, said person waits in another line to be seated while you go and pay for your meal which include drinks that you get yourself. The plates, cups, and silverware are all disposable. We waited for about 30-45 minutes in line, ordered the combo B with Portuguese sausage, rice and egg, with macadamia pancakes and were seated. When we got our food, it was good, it just wasn't amazing. The macadamia nut pancakes, were regular pancakes with strawberry compote, and a mountain of whipped cream, and macadamia nuts sprinkled on top. They give you a lot of pancakes, we couldn't finish it all. Overall, this place isn't bad. The waiters are really nice and the food is decent. It's just the long wait in line and OK food that makes me give this place two stars. Maybe we didn't order correctly, I'm not sure, but I would say go try this place out at least if the line doesn't look too long for you.

    Food was over priced, lacked taste and the customer service was okay I had to mention three times, for our server to refill my water.

    We were staying close to this place and decided to check it out. There was definitely a wait..wow!! It must be good, right? We waitied for about 30 minutes before we got seated. I ordered the eggs with Portuguese sausage with the macadamia nut pancakes. The food came and they served the eggs and sausage together and 3 stacks of giant, fluffy pancakes. IT WAS ALOT!! They had the guava and coconut syrup and oh man, the pancakes were yummy with each syrup. I am not much of a pancake guy, but it was really good. It is worth the wait and the money. Check this place out and walk one block to the beach and fall asleep on the beach due to food coma. ha!

    Just another ok breakfast spot that gets PACKED! I do like that this place has a good variety of breakfast items, from the sweet to savory! I suggest getting yourself any breakfast meal since it already comes with a side of pancakes- and you can pay extra for the specialty flavored pancakes! So get yourself some meat n' eggs or omelet and choose the pineapple, coconut, banana or mac nut pancakes- and you must, must have it with coconut or guava syrup! You must! We had the Portuguese sausage n' eggs and the Spam n' eggs- I asked to make my Spam extra crispy, and unlike some places they actually were happy to do so! The coconut pancakes with coconut or guava was yummy, I liked the coconut sprinkles for added flavor and texture. The pineapple pancakes with an extra sprinkling of mac nuts won me over tho! Alternate the syrups to figure out which one you like best- or be like me... use one pancake per syrup! The waffles are also yummy if you're not too hungry! One day I had a coffee and pastry for breakfast, then a couple hours we came across Eggs N' Things and saw there wasn't a wait- so we took advantage! haha I got the chocolate chip waffle cause I wanted something chocolatey- and it satisfied!!! Also, they sell the syrups so you can take it back home. And ordering an all pancakes breakfast here is 5 pancakes- I can't do it! I need a little of everything and the meals are perfect for me!

    Overpriced! They don't offer a short stack of pancakes. If you want to order pancakes with your meal its an extra $10.00. The food is just ok. For the price it should be great. I wont be back.

  • Jason G.

    Overrated and a waste of time. Nothing special about the food. Everything was cold. Cold eggs Benedict, who doesn't love congealed Was that really a waffle under that ridiculous mountain of canned whipped cream? We were told that if we couldn't find a table by the time our food was ready they would just box it so we could go somewhere else to eat, nice hospitality. Get over the hype people it is not worth the wait in line.

  • Brad S.

    Macadamia nut pancakes w coconut syrup were incredible! Huge stack of pancakes so you'll probably get a couple meals out of it. My girlfriend got the eggs w minced Portuguese sausage and green onions. Came w pancakes too. This dish wasnt anything special. The major fault was too many raw green onions. She prefers that they are browned not raw. I'd stay w the pancakes if I came back. Waited 45 min for a table and we also saw lots of people waiting outside so be prepared

    I was here twice during my stay in Waikiki. Both times, my wait times were under 10 minutes for 2 people, though I got here before 7am which is a good idea. Getting here after 7am means a much longer wait. I grabbed an order of the Ahi Steak and Eggs and a Loco Moco, respectively. The latter was fine, but I definitely enjoyed the former a whole lot more. And for being under the market price, I was definitely fine with paying the eventual fee of $15. And being situated over the balcony with the mass of tourists below me felt satisfying in a way. This is definitely the place to go for a sit-down breakfast in Waikiki, if you don't mind getting up early to do so.

  • Emma A.

    My favorite breakfast place on Honolulu so far! The food was flavorful The coconut pancakes were super good and sweet. My mom liked the coconut and banana crepes and my brother had the macadamia nut pancakes. All the dishes were really tasty. The potatoes were seasoned perfectly.Staff was polite.

  • Kat D.

    An Oahu must try. Sought after for their pancakes and omelet, this place draws a huge crowd. Expect a long wait in the morning. Come here for dinner and you'll be seated in minutes. You can still order breakfast items at dinner time.

  • Cossmo S.

    What happened to this place?? Had the omelet and eggs were so rubbery they tasted like something plastic eggs would taste like. Pancakes are great though, but hard to go back when you have other alternatives for breakfast around Ala Moana like my favorite, Harry's Cafe that are cheaper.

  • Monique F.

    Loved everything about our stop here. Service A+ Food A+ Location A+ My Husband got the Portuguese sausage and eggs with pancakes. Great portions. Cooked to perfection! I got the macadamia nut pancakes you have a choice of coconut, guava and maple syrup or you can use all three. All are a lovely choice. The pancakes are amazing and moist. Will most certainly return!

  • Berry S.

    My friend works here and told me the truth about the pancakes...they buy KRUSTEAZ brand instant pancake mix (yes, the one that you get at Costco), re-bag it into their fancy little "eggs n things" bags, and sale it for high prices to tourists. Lol! Oh, and they use Krusteaz to make the pancakes in the restaurant...duh! Thought this was funny... I have eaten here a few times and it was normal breakfast food at high prices. I buy Krusteaz pancake mix from Costco and make my own pancakes at home. It tastes just like Eggs n Things pancakes :) the bag costs me around $7 and can feed an entire army!! Save your money people!

  • Kathleen P.

    This place is good for a simple breakfast!!! We ordered the macadamia nut pancakes (A MUST) and some hash browns. It's a small place but their customer service is superb...very personable and attentive. I would suggest coming early as there is a bit of a wait. The next time I'm in Honolulu, I will definitely come back to Eggs 'n Things!

    Rude staff. Food is below average and clearly overhyped. The Kalakaua ave location is even worse and you have to order and pay before even being seated. Food and drink is served on paper plates. Really just sad!

  • John A.

    Spend your money at a better tasting place. My husband and I went here for dinner the other day and had the Loco Moco with the Portugese sausage and mushrooms and the Kalbe with eggs and rice. The Loco Moco was not that great. According to my husband, this pace tried to do a fancy version of the Loco Moco and failed miserably. The Kalbe was good, but I've had better. So, forget that it was recommended by the Food Network and head over to another place with better, more authentic food.

  • Natacha M.

    This is a great breakfast spot. Not only does it have a killer view of the beach but the food is really good. It took abt 35 mins to go through the ordering, paying and seating process which I thought it was going to be a longer wait cause the line was out on the sidewalk wrapping around the front of the restaurant so I was pleasantly surprised. I ordered the Fresh Ahi Steak (cajun style) & Eggs and my fiance ordered the Minced Meat with Green Onions and Scramble. I loved my dish. It was tasty and well seasoned. I also loved their POG juice which I think has become my favorite juice now. My fiance liked his dish but it wasn't what he was expecting but he still enjoyed it. I would love to go back and try their pancakes because they look so good. The prices were reasonable and the service was good.

    I'm not a pancake fan at all. But since everyone was raving about their Macadamian Nut Pancake, I had to try it. It was actually one of the best pancakes I ever had. You can use their guava syrup, or coconut syrup with it. I ordered a canadian bacon omlette, but for some reason my mind went blank and I was expecting bacon not ham. DUH! So I thought it was just okay. Overall, I'd go back but the wait is 1 hour long!!!

  • highlightall l.

    This is one of my worst dining experiences ever. Trust me, I'm not a demanding customer. First, beware that they do not allow outside food or drinks, which they don't tell you when you are waiting downstairs. It's only when you are at their door, they tell you to finish your eats/drinks before you can be seated. When we finally got seated after chugging our coffees (eek!), we were seated at this shady counter table. No one asked us if we were okay sitting at the counter. They just placed us there and left us. Then there came the waitress who was the most impatient lady ever. No greetings, no whatsoever. After sending someone to bring our waters, she just plain forgot about us for 15 minutes, until another waiter found out that we have yet to order. She finally came back, and took our order in the most snobbish fashion. And that was it, end of her service. The food was Meh at best. I got the Acai bowl, which was tiny, and had too little acai and granola. The fruits in there were not very fresh either. If you want to be treated poorly, and pay for meh food, go there. You won't disappoint yourself with happiness. But seriously, why would anyone go there and wait in line for this crap??? This is beyond me.

    We have been going there for 17 years and the quality of has deteriorated. We went this morning and the Omelet were flat and it use to be fluffy. The presentation was not appetizing at all; the omelet looked plastic and the texture was hard. Also it's portions are smaller and not appealing. Not worth paying $10.95. The former owner, Jerry would be shaking in his grave to see how bad it is. Sorry, just being honest. Won't be going for a while. So sad that a few more Kama'aina bites the dust and heading for IHOP.

  • Lo L.

    Super crowded with lots of tourists. Expect an hour wait and they have no parking lot so make sure your meter is good for about 2 hrs or u can pay for parking across the postal service parking lot for a fee. $5 dollars I think. I am all about pancakes so my review is about the pancakes. I had their macadamia nut pancakes which although it's not as good as Boots n Kimo's, you can add the coconut syrup and it will be just as good. They serve guava, coconut and regular maple syrup. Their portugese sausage is good also. It's bigger than most places and a little bit spicier which I like. You can order your drinks when you put your name in downstairs while you wait which helps past the time just a little. There's a funny guy that comes out and gives you your pager.

    Vacationing in Waikiki led us here. We drove past this place one afternoon and decided to have breakfast here in the morning. There wasn't a long line, but the wait was about 15 min. We were able to read a menu while we waited. Everything sounded good. We sat upstairs facing outward (the street) kinda like a bar style. It was a diff way to have breakfast, but we didn't care cause we were on vacation. I went with the Portuguese sausage, eggs and rice combo. It did not disappoint. This was my 2nd time having this sausage and honestly, became addicted after this. My boyfriend had the corned beef hash omelet. I had a couple bites and it was delish. I should have ordered it!!! We also had a side if macadamia nut pancakes- which we never had- and a must try- and it was amazing! We added the coconut syrup (which is perfect by the way, not overly sweet or thick). We do not regret eating up the calories. I did not give it a 5 because they do not allow outside drinks. Both my bf and I bought drinks during our 15 min walk there (energy drink for him, iced coffee for me) and we were not allowed to take it in to eat with our meal. They did keep it at the front counter though. Needless to say, their service was good. Friendly servers and a cute littlel spot for a quick breakfast.

  • Todger ..

    They wouldn't honor the Yelp 20% off coupon. Keep walking nothing special. Just a breakfast joint. Don't believe the hype about this place being a local spot. So don't wait around for 30 to 45 minutes and expect to be impressed. Dennys down the street will deliver a breakfast of omlets, eggs, pancakes, juice just like this place does. And at a more reasonable price. Two of us had breakfast here, with nothing special ordered (omlet and pancakes, juice/coffee... and spent $22.00 minus tip.

    Long line but waited only 10mins our first time there. Service was speedy and friendly. Coffee was refilled w/out asking. We had the vegetarian omelette that comes with pancakes or potatoes. I went with the pancakes and a side of bacon. Everything was delicious there's so much to choose from and the table next to me ordered waffles and it looked and smelt amazing. I hear the thing to try are their banana pancakes which I will order next time. Their coconut syrup is perfect, not too sweet and just the right consistency. Delicious!

  • Theo P.

    All I can say, is that this place is amazing! Whoever thought that macadamia nut pancakes with coconut and guava syrup would do the trick. Apparently, I didn't till I got here. Being that it was our first visit there, the waiter, by the name of David, hooked us up w/ a free Dessert following our Macadamia Nut Pancakes, Loco Moco, and Spam and Eggs. It was so good that we went there on our last day as well! Couldn't resist the pancakes and had to had a second round of them. Hawaiian Fried Rice and the Mushroom & Spinach omelette was worth the wait. BTW, homeboy Ken, is HIGH-LARIOUS! If you're looking for a local breakfast spot with great service, I definitely recommend Eggs n' Things.

  • Christina C.

    So I love eggs. Love love love eggs. Maybe it's cause I'm a college student, who knows. But when I went to Hawaii on a family vacation a couple of weeks ago, I saw Eggs N Things on the street and I knew I had to hit it up. My dad & I went on a Thursday morning, at around 7, 7:30 and there was already a huge line! I figured it must be good. Turns out it's mostly due to the fact that the place is tiny!!!! Still good though. We got the highly recommended macadamia nut pancakes. Honestly, nothing amazing but still really good. The nuts gave it a little more depth and a nice texture. It smelled amazing!!! I also got the Portuguese sausage just cause everyone was raving about it. Good but not to my expectactions. My dad got the ham chop, not as good as he had hoped. Everything is pretty good & fresh. Highly recommend the macadamia nut pancakes. Oh & on the menu when it says "for a little more, upgrade to one of our deluxe pancakes" or whatever... A little more is a little more than you would probably expect. They charged us an extra couple of bucks... almost $3 for each upgrade. Idk... maybe it's reasonable to others but I thought it was a little much... & the wait staff is a little grumps :/

    I have come to Oahu several times a year for the past 15+ years and have breakfast at Eggs 'N Things nearly every morning that I am in Honolulu. I miss the old location but paying for parking across the street at the Post Office beats driving around the dodgy 7-11 and the high tower apartment buildings for street parking. Most of the reviews here have overlooked the best item on the menu -- the ahi and eggs breakfast with pancakes on the side -- prepared Cajun style. Best value on the menu and best item on the menu hands down. All of the pancake lovers can have their ahi and mac pancakes (for a small upcharge) and eat it too! For those of us who need a bit more protein in our diets or tend to have empty carbs go through us quickly, the ahi and eggs with pancakes sticks to the ribs all the way to lunch. Some of my colleagues who first wrinkled their noses at the thought of eating ahi for breakfast were chirping a much different tune after they took their first bite. Now they are converts. The best time to go there is at 6:00 a.m. when there is no crowd. For anyone from the mainland, particularly the East Coast, six in the morning is pretty late so go eat at Eggs 'N Things the first morning or two you are in Oahu. I agree 100% with the Yelper who mentioned the aggressive birds. Last November, I turned my head to flag down the server for more coffee and a bird zipped in and snagged a huge piece of pancake and took off! I guess the birds have good taste too! Enjoy!!! :-)

    I forgot to type up a review for this place. As I get older, I will write things down as to not forget any significant event. It was a nice day in Waikiki in '69. Or was it '09? Whatever. As I look out the window and see the tranquil Pacific Ocean slipping over the sand like a transparent blue blanket, there is only one thing I can think of. My life is excellent and most everyone else' isn't. (((insert shit eating grin))) As I squint my eyes to shield them from the peeking sun, I ponder how I can better the current state of the world. Breakfast. Yes, that is how I can improve upon the world. Well maybe not your world, but at least it'll improve my world. We walk over enjoying the ever consistent Waikiki weather. The wait was long as expected. I park myself on a bench next to the stoner shop and proceed to eavesdrop on all the conversations being held in Japanese. I mustered enough of my formal Japanese education teachings to pick up on enough words to understand some of their private engagements. "There's a lot of Japanese here. It's like we never left home for vacation." That one made me chuckle. I ordered up their Portuguese Sausage Omelet. Let me tell you, it did not resemble an omelet at all to me. Thing looked more like a UFO more than anything else. A smooth yellow egg based UFO on my plate. I thought that alien looking tired-ass beeyatch Rhianna was going to pop out of my omelet. I was getting ready to Chris Brown her extra terrestrial ass back to planet Klingon. C'mon Matt Kemp(centerfielder for the Dodgers), what are you thinkin' braddah? You can do so much better than that Tyra Banks look alike reject. Alas, she didn't appear. Instead, my omelet was indeed packed with Portuguese sausage, sliced tomatoes and sliced onions. It was ok. I truly expected more flavor that the sausage would normally bring forth. Now onto the pancakes. I'm not a french toast or pancake or pastry for breakfast type of person. I needz me my protein whether it by way of eggs or meat products. I need to sustain my all day energy output. But, these were some mighty fine pancakes if I say so myself. And I do say so. All fluffy and shit, like Paris Hilton's head. Yo Paris, if you're reading this, holla-acha-boy. The guava syrup that I drizzled on them was insane. I don't even care for sweets in the morning that much, but damn, if these were illegal, I'd slang these shitz on the corner and drive a boss hog whip on spinners. No doubt. Their fresh squeezed pineapple juice was awesome at $6 for a tall serving. Squeezed pineapple juice? I don't think you can actually squeeze them. But have you seen the size of some of these Hawaiian guys?

Do not recommend & will not be returning!

    Went to this place while I was on vacation in Hawaii. People told us that we MUST go here, honestly, you don't. This place is like a Denny's or a IHOP. They serve breakfast food and there wasnt anything too special about it except maybe the different kinds of syrup they had. Guava, Coconut, and Maple I ordered steak and eggs with a side of pancakes and my girlfriend got the eggs benedict. Food was good, service was okay. I don't believe this is a MUST try, especially if there is a line.

    They are now open in Ala Moana. Stay away till they figure out what they are doing. The guy on my left had some kind of crepes..... when they came he commented on how burnt they were. the server left it. Customer left w/ no tip. The guy on my right ordered a #39... waitress said she didn't know what that was, why have numbers? She said she was from the other place and didn't know what numbers were. He was waiting for quite a while for his order. I ordered Corned Beef Has and Eggs, it took a while, a long while,. In the mean time I luckily had another waiter notice I needed coffe and got me some. My order was delivered and my waitress asked once if I needed anything else. Never came back to check on my meal as she had left my check BEFORE I received my meal. I finished my meal and as I was leaving I wished the guy next to me good luck and hope he got his meal as he was still waiting.................

  • Kehau K.

    Best place for a regular priced GREAT breakfast. You have to be ready to wait though--45 minutes is average for this tasty treat. I recommend the macadamia nut pancakes with coconut syrup, strawberries and whip cream! Definitely large enough to split. Tomato and cheese omelette with a side of portuguese sausage and scoop of rice is also heaven. A must try and indulge.

  • Lisa N.

    Grade: A One of the hotel staff recommended this breakfast joint to us. It was a 15 min walk from the Hilton Grand Waikikian. It has an odd set-up, with the host/check in on the bottom floor (doesn't look anything like a restaurant) and the restaurant on the 2nd floor. The host was super funny and friendly, an African American gentleman who spoke Japanese fluently. We had a fun time talking to him. He recommended the spinach, bacon & cheese omelette; portuguese sausage & eggs; and banana pancakes. Hubby had the omelette and I the sausage and eggs. Both were solid dishes. Hubby loved the portuguese sausages. But the stand out dish was definitely the fluffy, lightly sweetened pancakes. Huge serving. We'll definitely come back here for the pancakes and breakfast when we visit Waikiki again.

  • Michelle W.

    What is all the hype about this place? We stood in line for 40 minutes to have an omelet and pancakes that I can make myself at home? Seriously!! To be fair, the food was not bad. not bad -- but not great either. The wait is definitely not worth it.

  • Grace L.

    NOT WORTH THE HYPE. My breakfast at this restaurant was a terrible experience. I would give this restaurant zero stars if I could. Not only was the food not good, but my family of four also had to eat our breakfast in front of a large Bud Light truck that had its engine running throughout our meal. The blueberry crepe that my daughter ordered was very soggy and none of the blueberries were ripe. The meat patty in the Hawaiian Loco Moco was so tough and hard as rock that my husband and I both could not eat it at all. A simple breakfast was 80 dollars. Would not recommend.

  • Jules M.

    The BEST breakfast joint I've been to my whole life! Not a lie. The strawberry pancakes and the eggs benedict are to die for! I'm not a fan of pancakes at all and I will inhale the pancakes at Eggs n Things -- that's how good they are! My husband and I had to have breakfast there the day we were leaving. We wouldn't have had it any other way. Do know that there will be a huge wait so get there earlier than the time you plan on eating.

  • Ken N.

    I think this place is over rated. Everyone told me that we had to try this place out, so I did. I went with a group of friends to go try this place out and at first we tried to grab breakfast, but the wait was 90 minutes long! It was totally packed early in the morning, so if you plan on going here .. tip is go early! We ended up going back later that night to try it out. We tried various dishes, non were that great to remember. I do remember trying out the pancakes and they were ok. If you want pancakes this I would highly suggest Boots & Kimo's. The plantation ice tea was ok, but I liked Sam's seafood a lot more. Nothing here was really memorable. I would rather you save your money and time and go to Boots & Kimo's if you're looking for a good breakfast or Sam's if you're looking for plantation ice tea. You'll also save yourself from a long wait as well.

    During a vacation to Oahu last month, my friends and I would pass by Eggs 'n Things every time we took the bus out of town to sight see. There would always be a wait outside, so one day we decided to try it out ourselves. After waiting about 30 mins we were seated upstairs on the VERY narrow balcony area. Honestly our table was much too small for 3 adults, but we made do with what we were given. The menu is pretty simple. Everything from omelets, pancakes, waffles, and local favorites such as loco moco. I ordered a blueberry waffle. The waffle was nice and crisp on the outside with a fluffy inside. Pour a little coconut syrup on it and OMG its heaven :] Will definitely be going back once I get a chance to visit Hawaii again.

    This place was the first place we ate on the island and is hands down my favorite! You have to get here early because it is very popular and for good reason. The staff was very friendly and was able to handle a big group (7 of us in all). The upstairs is small and not very pretty to look at but the food was amazing. We all had something different and passed it around, everything was better than the next. I would highly recommend going here for a true Honolulu feel and taste!

  • Oski B.

    Probably the best breakfast option in Waikiki. So it's great for folks staying in hotels nearby who want to venture beyond your overpriced hotel lobby bfast fare. We actually drove in from H.Kai, dealt with street parking - and it was still worth it. PROS: upstairs seating is nice, airy, good ventilation, somewhat kid friendly. The pancakes and waffles had a really nice texture and the boysenberry sauce was yum (you have to request it). I'm not a coffee drinker, but my friends all seemed to like it. CONS: The wait is ridiculous. About 45-60 minutes for a group of 8. I'd expect 30 mins for a group of 2-4. The portuguese sausage was tasty, though a bit too salty (and I like salt). The space between tables was a bit narrow so the booster chair we had for our son kept getting in the way. Waitresses had to squeeze past him quite a bit.... they were friendly about it, it was just a bit cramped. Overall, really liked this place and would recommend it.

    Not only did we get great service...the food was awesome. I had the fried rice, sooooooooo good. My partner had Portuguese sausage and eggs. Really spot on. We also tried the pineapple pancakes. These were about average. But a nice desert after our savory breakfast. I wish I had one of these in LA.

  • Gladys B.

    This place gets packed! Our plan was to go to Boots n Kimo's that day, but since we were up and about on foot, we decided to come here instead. We went TWICE during our trip. Service-good Pancakes-wonderful! had banana pancakes and tried BOTH coconut and guava syrups.. a little goes a long way.. all you need is a drizzle. I ordered a side of spam with this. My husband had the loco moco which was delish! Side of vienna sausages... yes vienna sausages.. have not had these since I was a kid, but it brought back some nostalgia for sure! Second time: I had the corned beef hash..just like how mom made it Hubby had the omelet. Omelet nothing, although their salsa is quite delicious.Liked my dish better... Washed all this down with plantation iced tea... its like an arnold palmer but instead of lemonade they use pineapple juice... yumm! Would definitely comback again.. such a short walk from our hotel the Moana Surfrider...

    The thing that sticks out about this place is the wait. First you give them your name at the front desk. Then they add your name to the other list with the woman who walks around. Once they call your name, they give you a buzzer. And then when the buzzer finally goes off, you head upstairs to grab your table. That's a lot of waiting, folks. I love me some egg-battered carbs, but when Papa is hungry, he wants to eat! Or at least be properly warned and snack beforehand. Once we got upstairs, we weren't lucky enough to get a seat overlooking the balcony, but our table was still nice and directly below the board with the daily specials. I ordered an omelette and my friend had the Loco Moco. He really like his dish and I was just whelmed with mine. Although good and fresh, it didn't do anything to give me the big "O." The service was pretty quick once we were upstairs and our server was very friendly. I would check this place out at an odd hour or if you don't mind the wait. Otherwise, check out the Postal Store across the street; I hear their candy machine dispenses bagels.

    This place is probably the best breakfast place I've ever been to. The macadamia pancakes topped with guava syrup can't be beat. If you don't mind a pricey breakfast with taste worth the money, then this is place to go. Honestly there's not much else I can say except go here.

    This is a must-go breakfast spot in Oahu! However everyone and their mama comes here, so if you don't mind waiting! These were probably thee best pancakes I've ever had and I wanted to bring the syrup home. They take advantage of the popularity and boost up their prices. But eh try it once, and you decide.

    First let me state that this place is hella busy. One of the busiest places I've ever been to in terms of lines. Meaning a wait of 35+ minutes would not be out of the realm of possibility. You put in your reservation downstairs and then once they call you, you walk upstairs to be seated. Next time I'll try and see if we can't call in advance to get on the list before we actually get there. Would save a lot of time. I had the pancakes and a side of Portuguese sausage. It wasn't too bad. It was good. For Hawaii, and I'm sure that visitors like this, it is an open air establishment. There were a few birds that crept into vacated seats, but were promptly shooed away once new customers were seated.The service was nice and prompt as well. Much of their clientele seem to be visitors from Japan. So most of the servers can converse and get their orders in Japanese which is pretty cool. Their business comes from visitors walking from the hotels, so the sparse parking would be along the street.

    We decided to stop by this restaurant for breakfast after reading the reviews and getting advice from someone at the hotel. The reviews are correct...very long wait with many Japanese tourists. The wait was about 1 hour on a Tuesday at 9AM. Upside is the guy taking down names is a funny person to talk to and speaks Japanese too. There's also a decent coffee place a couple doors down. The restaurant is actually up the stairs on the side of the building. There's a few tables outside and inside tables too. Overall, the decor was nice and pleasant. I ordered the Portuguese Sausage and Eggs with pancakes (upgraded to the strawberry with whip cream). Eggs were average. Portuguese sausage was pretty good. Pancakes were good...but not sure if they are worth the $4.95 to upgrade. I also ordered some type of tropical ice tea (something like that)...it was ok. My girlfriend ordered the Spam & Eggs with rice. I tried a bite and it tasted like Spam... But, my girlfriend thought it wasn't that great. In fact, we had McDonald's Spam & Egg breakfast later on our trip. And, she thought the McD's Spam tastes better.... In addition to the breakfast entree, she also ordered the guava juice which was ok. Considering the long wait and price, we will not be returning for another breakfast. However, if you go....perhaps you should stick to some of the standard breakfasts (i.e. omelets, etc.). Some of the "regular" dishes other people were eating looked pretty good.

    My fiance's colleague recommended this place. Probably the longest wait for a breakfast joint. Every native looking, well, it's been there for 35 years and was also featured on Food Network Magazine. Wait was about 30 minutes and food took another 20 minutes. But the wait was worthwhile. My fiance ordered a egg white omelette with pancakes and I worked a Portugese Sausage, Egg and fried potatoe dish. Her Omelette was cooked beautifully with perfect browning. Pancakes were the fluffiest I've ever tasted; not to mention the special Guava syrup that went so well with it. My Portugese sauage was delicous and potatoes were crisp on the outside and soft on the inside; absolutely delicous. Come to this place early because there will be a line!!! If you are from the states, you should be okay considering that waking up at 7am really feels like 9am. Enjoy!

  • Chelsea L.

    Wow, was this place busy. It's a good thing the food was so tasty, or I'd say it wasn't worth the wait. The waitstaff seemed to be kept on a very tight leash; our waitress left our table in the middle of taking our order because she was being "paged by the kitchen" and walked by moments later with an armload of plates. She came back, finished taking our order, and got everything right, so I can't complain too much, but I have to say that's the first time I've ever had that happen before. We'd hardly had time to drink our juice when our breakfast arrived; plenty of food and all very tasty. The platters that come with meat, eggs, and pancakes are by far the best deal and you can "upgrade" your pancakes to their special varieties for an additional two dollars or so. Though all the prices seemed pretty reasonable for such a tourist-heavy area.

  • Stacy L.

    I don't understand the hate for Eggs 'n Things...my husband and I have been here a few times over the years, and the service has always been quick (or as quick as you should expect in Hawaii) and fairly friendly. Our servers have been hit-or-miss. Today was a miss, but hey...this isn't a Michelin-starred restaurant. We've never had to wait very long, but we're just a party of two. I think any time you have a large group and go to a smallish restaurant, you need to adjust your expectations. The portions are crazy-large, so much so that we now usually split something. We've always had success with the pancakes (love the yeasty taste and the coconut syrup), and the ridiculously large Belgian waffle. Today my husband and I got the special omelette which was Canadian bacon, tomato and cheese...came with pancakes and we ordered an extra side of rice. We split the meal and it was plenty for the two of us. A couple of quibbles...the Canadian bacon in the omelet were full slices and kinda awkward to cut. You really shouldn't have to use a knife on an omelet. Diced would've been better. Also, our server today was stingy with the refills...never came back by to refill my husband's soda. Kinda annoying since it was three bucks. Not awesome, not awful. That's why Yelp gives us the option of a 3-star review. We'll be back.

    Unplanned check off our Oahu Foods adventure! Decided to join our good friends for breakfast here to start out a long day of outdoor (outrigger canoedleing) fun... Thank goodness we did! First off, with all the one way streets around, I'm not even sure how we found this place but we did thanks (& only thanks) to the GPS on our phones. From what I can tell, it has only street parking with parking meters - so bring your quarters! During busy times, I'm sure parking sucks. Also, bear in mind that they will NOT take your name at the reservations desk unless EVERYONE IS PRESENT. Swear, CJ and Jason were at the car paying for the meter (literally across the street) and Nicole and I went to put our names in & the girl at the desk said "When everyone is present you can put your name in" -- OK, but they are right there across the street... NOPE! I understand the concept because I'm sure larger parties figure they can drop one person off to wait, but it still kinda sucks. The downstairs is a little shop with the restaurant being upstairs. I may not have been completely paying attention but I don't think this place is wheelchair accessible. Food-wise: pretty darn good. (I'm partial because my first time eating macadamia nut pancakes it was amazing - years ago & I forgot where we ate it.) I got spam, eggs, and added on their macadamia nut/pineapple pancakes (xt cost) - It was such a large meal, I basically took the spam & eggs to go! The pancakes were delicious, but not as good as I've had. BEST PART: they have coconut syrup as well as papaya syrup. LOVED it! Overall, definitely worth the visit if you have no where else to go, but not amazing.

  • Nicole S.

    Not sure if I was starving or what, but the food was fantastic! There's always a 10-15 min wait, but you can make reservations on open table ahead of time. Service was slow, but they were friendly. I had the bacon, spinach, cheese omelette... Amazing ($9-10). My boyfriend had the eggs with corn hash and pancakes. Pretty delicious too. We Unfortunately disnt have the pancakes or waffles but looked great. Total cost = $26 Recommend it!

    DISAPPOINTING and sub-par service. We came here based on several recommendations, but it is a bust. Ordered the macadamia nut waffle and macadamia nut pancakes. First off the food was cold, I expect my pancakes to be hot, not cold. The batter was good, and so it is frustrating to know this would have been good. It is obvious that the have an assembly line in the kitchen, (at least for the pancakes) and they just plate them and add toppings as they go. Food is served on disposable plates, plastic cutlery. Self serve coffee, with a clusterfuck at the station due to everyone trying to get in at the same time. No service at they table, asked for extra butter, we are finished with our meal and still waiting. Waffle was ok, should have been warmer. Quoting SO "Could you imagine if we ordered eggs?". You have to pre-order and your food is just dropped off, no more service after that. If you like cold food, and being ignored this us the place for you. I did try to talk to someone, but they were so busy it was impossible. Very very disappointing as we could taste the potential greatness of the food (the flavor was very good, hence the 2 stars), but it just did not make the cut. :(

    Caught the red eye into Honolulu and were starving by the time we got into Waikiki. This place was a short walk from our hotel and there was no wait at 6am :). We got to sit upstairs which was a little cramped but it provided a fresh ocean breeze. Kona Mocha Coffee: OMG this was amazing!! The best mocha I've had in awhile. A must try. Perfect compliment with breakfast. Portuguese Sausage Omelet: I don't know what was different about the eggs, but the omelet was awesome! The portugese sausage was a nice change from regular bacon. It was a little sweeter which I loved. You also must try the salsa that was served on the side. I normally dump heap loads of ketchup on my eggs, but this salsa was pretty good. Added nice flavor- not too spicy Pineapple pancakes: These were pretty much regular pancakes with chunks of pineapple in the batter. Next time I would want to try the pineapple whip pancakes instead. Great breakfast place- but only great because there was no wait. I don't know if it would be worth it if I had to wait 25-30 mins.

    Breakfast joint full of Japanese tourists. This place was Yelptastic before Yelp even existed. The first time I came here, the Nihonjins were taking pictures of every single detail of their meals. This is the first place that I ever saw someone eat an omelet with catsup. Is this a Japanese phenomenon? The food here is okay. I'd probably only come back to observe the little Japanese girls that look and act like Hello Kitty.

    This place rocks! Everything we had was delicious, but even the service was PHENOMENAL! The host Ken offered suggestions of places to go & see & was super friendly to everyone waiting. (Customer satisfaction is my business, so I look for these details.) Our food was prompt, the staff was friendly, & we craved this food for the rest of the trip! Will DEFINITELY be going back! Thanks for the great experience!

    Breakfast is known as the most important meal of the day. So I wanted to start of my day right by eating at my old flame, Eggs 'N Things. I loved the old location of Eggs 'n Things. Sure there was still a ridiculous wait time but it was worth the wait. I remembered tasty big portioned sized dishes, reasonable prices, and good service. Today I expected to wait long but I longed for those tasty pancakes. My poor son grew hungrier and hungrier as he watched the people on the second floor scarfing down their food. We waited over an hour to get seated. Hunger can make any good kid and adult have a total melt down. I suggest going somewhere else if your have little ones.It was quite cramped in the restaurant. My son wanted spam with his kids meal instead of the sausage but according to the server, substituting meats are not allowed. So she suggested to get a side order of Spam instead and one of us could share our pancakes. Three pieces of spam cost $5.75. I ordered the veggie omelets. It supposedly made with 3 fresh eggs, served with pancakes, and choice of cheese. The eggs it self were not fluffy but thin. It was folded into the mushroom, zucchini, and spinach. I upgraded my pancakes to strawberry whip cream w/nuts, I enjoyed it. My husband got the Portuguese sausage omelet. He told me that the omelets at Zippys are much better. The cheese is melted in, the eggs are fluffy, and its mixed into the mixtures. Plus it's cheaper, you don't have to wait as long, and it's not as cramped. We did get good service based on how crazy busy it was. A few times I had to ask another person for a refill on our drinks. I'm glad that they gave a military discount. But I don't think it's worth the wait or the steep prices. If your a morning person the website suggest coming from 6-7am to avoid the wait. I suggest you park across of the army military museum. If your not military you can go on a free self guided tour and they will validate your ticket. If you are military they have really good parking deals based on your rank. We stayed in Waikiki for 5 hours and paid $3.

    The best Loco Moco I have ever had! This place is worth going to. Can tend to be a bit of a wait because of it's popularity. Located just a few blocks from the beach and the Trump hotel. Have to hike up a few stairs to get to the second story dinning area. First level is the store and can also be busy. Wanted to try everything on the menu. Pancakes are stacked high and topped off with mounds of whipped cream. Great friendly service with a smile.

  • Ami K.

    Went here twice and ordered the Macadamian nut pancakes both times. I feel that the pancakes are best when doused with coconut syrup and bathed in butter and powdered sugar. Ordered the acai bowl 2nd time which was overly sweet for my taste. Highly recommend Macadamian pancakes. Big enough to share. Food was fast and service friendly.

    Overrated grindz..... Darn it! Tourist trap fail. When I'm playing tourist, I'm down for checking out the tourist hot spots if it's good, but this was not. Anyways, we must have come at the right time because for two of us, we only waited for 15 minutes thank gawd. Place is kinda small and seating is upstairs. The host and our waitress were very nice and attentive. * The portions are decent, especially the pancakes. Prices are a little steep for what it is. If it was awesome food then I would think it's fine. * Scrambled eggs and portuguese sausage. My man ordered his eggs scrambled well since he hates them runny or squishy. But they came out soft and squishy so he didn't like them. The sausage was good though. * The famous macadamia nut pancakes: the flavor was ok, but they sooo are not light and fluffy. Kind of dense and chewy. The coconut and guava syrups were pretty good and sweet, but nothing amazing that I'd have to go back here again. * Hawaiian loco moco- the difference between this and the regular loco moco (beef patty, topped with an egg and gravy) is that this one has grilled mushrooms, onions and Portuguese sausage mixed on top. This was disappointing especially bc I looove loco moco. The meat and gravy were bland, no flavor. Boo. - On another note- pretty entertaining watching all the Japanese tourists take a million pics of their food. I'm not hating or anything, I take pics of my food too but only one shot. I'm not sure how many angles they needed of their pancake. haha

  • Ivonne K.

    Our very first meal in Honolulu was at eggs n' things. We had the blueberry waffle topped with whipped cream and macadamia nut and the loco moco. Both items were good but the waffle was the best! It's not your usual "fluffy" and doughy waffle which isn't a preference of mine anyway so don't expect it! It's more of a thin and crunchy texture - my fav! There's always a lineup depending on when you go but the line moves pretty quick. You order first with the hostess and she'll split your party up so that the rest of your party waits in line on the right while one pays for the order first in a separate line. I have never dined alone here but I assume you still have to pay for your meal first and then get in line to wait to be seated.

    Great service, huge portions of tasty food. I had breakfast here at 8:30 am on a weekday and despite the growing lineup, was seated 10 minutes after arriving. Our waitstaff was really attentive and answered all of our questions very patiently. The waitress even kept our food covered and warm while my brother stepped away from the table. The plantation iced tea was so refreshing and my veggie omelette was filled to the brim with mushrooms, spinach and (I think) zucchini. The side of three large pancakes was extremely fluffy and made even more scrumptious with coconut syrup! My brother enjoyed his tuna steak-n-eggs. Although the atmosphere in the restaurant isn't much to write home about, the food is yummy and service friendly. Definitely not a bad spot to hit up for breakfast or brunch.

  • Raych D.

    This place is always busy whenever I attempt to come in or pass by. So this past Sunday I came here with my ex determined to wait in that long line and finally try Eggs 'N Things! As I thought the line was ridiculously long filled with Japanese tourist outside. So while he parked the fed the parking fee car across the street I walked across and signed us in. The wait was about 50 minutes and as soon as we got our buzzer we walked next door to the coffee shop and got a bottle of water, we then walked around the block to browse around Sunglass hut, ramen nakamura and the new Hard Rock Cafe. After being away for about half an hour we just sat in front of the restaurant and waited while my name was called a few moments later. When we got seated upstairs right next to the bathroom, and only a couple inches away from another party so it made me feel a bit claustrophobic! I ordered the sausage links with potato's and scrambled eggs along with white toast, and he ordered the strawberry waffle. The eggs was moist and yummy, so where the potatoes and sausage links. The waffle came out with fresh strawberry's and a mountain of whip cream with powdered sugar! That waffle was sooo good, not to over powering or sweet! I just wish they hadn't added the mac nut with the whip cream but overall very delicious and I'm not even a waffle eater! The waitress we had was so sweet and cute, she kept calling me babe and sweetie. When we paid I had to go to the register and pay it for myself which was kind of odd because i would think when paying the waiter should be the one to do that. I love the fact that they accept I-Dcard! So it gives us an extra discount!

    Ok so I found this place on yelp before my trip to Oahu and thought I really don't care to try this place.....Once we were actually on vacation we would pass this place everyday and everyday there would be a long long line in the front of the restaurant. My husband whos sort of a follower I guess really really wanted to try it. So one morning we woke up early and came down to this restaurant and of course the line was really long. A man that was at the booth said that if we didn't want to wait in line we could order for take out. We thought that would be a good idea since we have 3 kids and they were starting to get ansy anyways. So we placed an order to go.....SO STUPID! the people behind us in line were seated before we even got our food. It had to have been at least an hour until we got our take out. We ordered 2 orders of choc chip pancakes 1 strawberry waffle, 2 sides of spam and 1 side of bacon. The strawberry waffle was nothing special reminds me of eggo waffles. The chocolate pancakes were good....then again when aren't chocolate pancakes good. My total was about $50.....I think it was a total waste of money and time. Don't bother going to this place, I realized there is only a long long line because the restaurant is so damn small and only seats like 10 at a time.

    Spam and rice is spam and rice, always good but not exciting. The macadamia nut pancakes, these were exciting. I'm sure almost everywhere on the island that serves these up have good versions, Eggs n Things just happened to be the place I got my fix. You can get three or five, three was plenty for me. They were delicious, so delicious with that added sweetness of coconut syrup. Calories? To hell with calories I say!

  • Karen Y.

    Looked this place up on Yelp when looking for some legit macadamia nut pancakes in Hawaii. Didn't find them here... Their pancakes aren't really that soft and fluffy like I've had before in LA. They're rather thick and filling here. And the macadamia nuts are just sprinkled on top rather than cooked in the batter. Meh. The syrups were good. Guava was my favorite. Also had coconut and typical maple. Wait time is a bit ridiculous as well. If you have less in your party you'll get seated faster. My family of 4 got there at around 7am and waited for an hour to get a table while left and right there were smaller parties getting seated. There's only like 9 tables in the restaurant which is upstairs. Tiny.

  • Christina C.

    I was woken up early (7am) and decided to head out for some breakfast. Got there around 8:07am on a weekday, told a 30 minute wait, and was seated after about 27 min. We ordered the portuguese sausages with eggs over easy, and upgraded the pancakes to macadamia nut. We also got a side of spam and fresh guava juice. The spam I found too salty. The egg was good, tasted like it was cooked in coconut oil. The portuguese sausage was tasty and hearty. The upgraded macadamia nut pancakes came in a stack of three and only the top had the sugar. They were still delicious, especially with the coconut syrup. Guava juice was always good. The place is very quaint, but the workers downstairs were a bit annoying with the bullhorn- overkill. Tip - look at the menu and decide what you want while you wait, so you can order once you sit and save time. Definitely get the guava juice, macadamia nut pancakes , portuguese sausage and try the coconut syrup. Yum Some people love this place, some people hate it, but I like it enough to come back. Morning is a better time to go when the sun isn't shining into the restaurant and burning you up.

    I ordered the eggs Benedict and honestly I'm from California so I've tasted some very good food and this place is just average. The waiter took forever I had to hunt him down for water and the food was decent, the Benedict sauce was defiantly from a packet!

    Good breakfast food. Hubby and I shared a Loco moco and mac nut pancakes. Pkenty of food for 2. Really appreciated our server he was honest about what was in their Corn beef hash which comes from a can- they just add a couple of the ingredients to spruce it up. Would come back again

    Yelp 365: 018/365 From the perspective of the misses. One lazy, summer morning, the mister and I were deciding where to eat breakfast. After a bit of yelping (and looking at where the Isle Discounts were accepted), we decided to go for Eggs 'n Things. We never came here before, it seemed to have many good reviews, and it's a place where we would normally not go on a regular school day. Thus, we excitedly went to eat breakfast here. Upon arriving, people galore! Even though it was around 9:30am, there was a bunch of people waiting to be seated! Most of them looked to be Japanese tourists. These waiting people fueled our excitement and we couldn't wait to get seated! To make matters even more interesting, the guy taking down our names was entertaining when giving out the beepers. We love free "shows"! After an hour of waiting, we were finally seated and were warmly greeted by our server. We knew what we wanted so we quickly ordered. The food came out in a timely manner. Oh boy.....IT WAS ONO!!! Man oh man. We were hungry as hippos and we scarfed our whole plate down! The omlette was really good and his corned beef hash was cooked just right. The pancakes were a bit rubbery though.....but the syrups were yummy; I used a different tasting syrup for each piece of pancake! Mmmhmmm! Our first experience was so great, that we went back twice more since then. As I am not a morning person, those latter two times were for dinner. This time, the mister ordered their steak. That was really unexpectedly delicious! And this time, our pancakes were fluffy and better than before. I also got to try their strawberry whipped pancakes. It's not as sweet as I thought it would be...just the right amount of sweetness. But if you order that, be ready to be stuffed full of pancakes! All three times, we really enjoyed the food and the service. The servers are really pleasant and full of aloha. And the one time I had to take home leftover pancakes, it was packed in a biodegradeable container (I think) and they even added three little containers of syrup (each container was filled with three different flavored syrups). That was a very thoughtful touch. The prices are pretty good for the amount of food they give. Not to mention, I believe that Kama'aina and military get to have discounts! Since then, I've been craving for pancakes (and I'm not even a huge pancake fan)! Next time we go, I would love to try their mac nut pancakes. So far, we enjoyed our experiece there so much we can't wait to go back! Now from Korean Elvis' (the mister's) point of view: What else can I say that the misses have not said already? She didn't mention this, but I am a steak fan. So I know my steaks; and I am very particular in how they taste. Ordering their (special at the time, don't know if they still have it...) ribeye steak and eggs, I never expected much. After eating a piece, my taste buds jumped with ecstatic joy! Their steak is better than a lot of steaks from popular steakhouses I have been to! This was very surprising!! I had my eggs ordered over easy, and with the complimentary pancakes. This was too good to be true!! For around $12, you get a great tasting ribeye, (sorry I forgot how many) pancakes, two eggs. This is a great deal, and I LOVE great deals! Come try this place out. I promise you will love it. YELP POWER!!!

    I don't get it. This place is really over rated. I paid $15 for pancakes. No half orders. Longest wait for mediocre breakfast food on the planet. And staff that would rather pick their nose than take your order. My friends and I have this theory that service is Hawaii just blows in general. The tourism spoils the customer service. It's true! If the Japanese are going to tip you 20% anyway, why do your job? Eggs N Things is the perfect example. I'd give this place 1 star if the "welcome staff" (that put your name on the list and give you a buzzer), weren't so incredibly friendly. And hey, thanks for giving me the heads up that I could go shopping in the nearby boutiques -- Chanel, Gucci, yippee -- and still be in range for my buzzer. But I've had better pancakes at IHop for half the cost. I mean, really? They douse the pancakes in powered sugar and whipped cream, which, to those that know me, should be a sign that I will LOVE it. But this time around, to me it was definitely a sign that they were covering up the mediocre taste of their pancake mix with whip from a can. Obviously, I ate all the whipped cream. But did I finish my 6 strawberry pancakes? Nope, didn't even finish two. Hey Marciano Jet Set Guide, I disagree with you hardcore on this recommendation.

    After hearing great things about this restaurant, I decided to visit for Sunday brunch. The wait was about 15 minutes. We chose first available and were seated at a super narrow counter table facing the road. The guy to my left was so close that he kept elbowing me while he was attempting to consume his food. It was so hot inside and it felt as if there was absolutely no air conditioning in this place! The male waiter came by quickly and took our order. No points for personality. Maybe they are used to Japanese tourists, but but I would think that customer service would be important in a place where you are rely on tips to supplement your income (just sayin'). The food came fairly quickly and was very tasty. I ordered a vegetarian omlette, which had good flavor without the greasiness of some local places. It went down easily. My companion had the corned beef hash, which was also very good. Unfortunately, I was anxious to leave quickly in order to get away from the hot and sweaty environment. Part way through my meal, the bus person started cleaning the counter to my left and left his not-so-clean rag on the counter less than a foot away from my food. Eeewwww! Although the food was good, it wasn't so exceptional that I would be willing to forgo the comforts of an air conditioned establishment. For the price, wait, lack of friendliness and environment, it just isn't calling out to me to visit again. Too bad, as I live really close :-(

    Pancakes were delicious and they top them off with a mountain of the fruit you ordered and homemade whipped cream. Mmm, mmm! We ate their about 3 times during our 10 days in Honolulu and I wish there were an Eggs and Things near by! Great, friendly service and pretty decent speed after your order is placed. I give them a 4.5! Rounded to 5 lol.

    Guys, I am not a fan of long lines, especially in the morning when I need to break the fast growing Hunger Monster. Which puts a damper in my longstanding love affair with breakfast foods. What's a girl to do? One word: dinner. When a friend of mine suggested this place, I had a only a vague idea of where it was (Waikiki) and what it served (eggs... and things), but I did remember that sprawl of tourists waiting for a table -- and I didn't particularly want to add myself to that number. Dinner, however, is an entirely other story. We got a beeper upon arrival, and by the time the fourth in our party arrived, we had secured ourselves a table. (Excellent.) It's a weird set-up, though. The host is situated downstairs in their small gift shop; the upstairs seating is connected by an outside stairway. An observation more than a complaint, but accessibility seems a pertinent question. My friends and I ordered omelets and pancakes (the pancakes are an option for a side -- you could also get rice or potatoes, I believe), and I upgraded mine to get the strawberry option. Which, in retrospect, I probably would not do again. It costs nearly five dollars extra (note to self: always ask beforehand!), and even with the leaning tower of whipped cream, it wasn't that much bang for my buck. The pancakes themselves are awesomely fluffy and were just weighted down by all the extras. When in doubt, simplify! Except, don't by shy with the coconut syrup. I don't have much to say about the omelet other than it's not something to write home about. It's big, though. I think I still have a third of it in my fridge, in fact. I'll have to echo my annoyance that they charge for containers, although seeing as I live here, maybe I'll just bring a Tupperware container with me next time. Maybe with the money they save up on container fees they can buy bigger plates (more appropriate name: pancakes on the edge!) for their big girl food.

    Had the banana pancakes here. They gave me 4 pancakes with whip cream. They were fairly good. I finished maybe two before I was full. Came back here on day2 for breakfast and got the lemon crepes. This was the dish of all dishes! Simple but REALLY good. I was full from the 3 crepes, if you're hungry you may considering ordering something additional on the side though. Would definitely come back here for breakfast next time I'm in Honolulu!

    5 stars for the macadamia nut pancakes and coconut syrup!

    We stayed down the street in the Trump and everyday we'd drive by and see a crazy long line outside. Finally on our six day we decide to just suck it up and wait in line because it has to be worth it if that many people are spending all day in line when they are in beautiful Hawaii and could be laying on the beach instead! The wait was no joke, but eventually we were led upstairs and it was perfect from there. Everything we ordered was good and the two of us ordered enough for four just so we could taste everything. So if you are nearby, suck it up, get up early and wait in line.

    I think this place is pretty overrated....There's always a huge line (we waited about 30 mins on a tuesday at about 9am). And I feel like I could make this stuff at home. I guess its good if youre staying in waikiki and dont have a kitchen. After the 30 min wait, we were seated at the counter upstairs. We ordered the local style friend rice with scrambled eggs and mac nut pancakes. The two of us were absolutely stuffed....The pancake order comes with 5 pancakes. The mac nuts are both in the pancake batter and sprinkled on top. They were sooooo sooo good with the guava syrup! I'm not a huge fan of coconut syrup. The fried rice was interesting. I wasn't surprised by the bean sprouts, fishcake or spam, but the celery and mushrooms kinda threw me off. It was definitely good, but really, I could def have made it at home. The birds are also VERY aggressive....

    The boyfriend and I went here twice during our week long stay in the island. And we LOVE the pancakes. It was very fluffy and moist. The best part was the different syrups that they had. i stayed away from the maple one because how often do you get to use coconut or guava syrup!? We also tried the specials of the day...Crabcake benedict. Which was alright. Boyfriend also tried the Portuguese sausage, which was really good too. The reason I gave it a 4 stars was that I had ordered the corned beef hash with pancakes. And I can get the specialty pancakes for a "little more". My macadamia panckes was $2.75 more for macadamia nuts and some powdered sugar on the pancakes -_-' which was a bit too much. So i would just stick with the regular panckes if you were to have it.

    Didn't expected this place to be this good !!! Actually before i came here i heard bad review that it was okay and not worth while driving to Waikiki just to come here. however actually it was so much better than i expected !!!! We came around 7:30am on Tuesday and there was already a line GOSH who wake up this early to eat~ anyway we waited for 20minutes until we were able to order... the service was really good and the waitress were super nice and friendly recommending what she likes. Food: We ordered fried rice which was soooo goood a little bit too salty for me but my sister ordered the french toast special which was super amazing and pretty ~ So with the mix of salty and sweet food we were able to finish it~~~ The portion is HUGE !!! so big for an asian person like me but i slowly worked my way to finish it... hahahahaha Anyway a great place to try !!! So you must have a go i suggest going with at least 4 people and order 4 different dishes not all pancake but omlete, fried rice and waffles so you get to try a little bit of everything only if you all are keen in the topic of sharing ! : ) Discount : If you are local just show your state ID or UHM Student ID you will be able to get a 10 % discount Also if you have an isle discount card you will be getting a 10% off too !!

    I live about 10mins for one of the Eggs n Things in Tokyo but have never been as waiting for 2 hours for eggs, no matter how good, is not on my bucket list. Surprise surprise headed to the Waikiki location and timed it right with no wait (about 1:50pm) and had my first taste. Terrific. Highly recommend the food, service was good, scenery across from Waikiki beach couldn't be better. Macadamia sauce was outrageously good and the side stack is a meal in and of itself so bring an appetite and leave some on the plate too. Omelettes were the best I have had and cooked perfectly with the ingredients working together beautifully. Oddly, there was a good 45mins where I was the only non-Japanese patron so kinda felt like Tokyo if I closed my eyes. LoL.

    The early bird catches the worm. At Eggs 'N Things, the early tourists gets a seat. Fair warning that if you snooze your alarm once too many, you'll be snoozing while waiting to be seated. Popular would be an understatement when describing Eggs. We arrive at 7am and were met with a sea of humanity drifting listlessly while every eye stared at their buzzer hoping for it to go off. Eventually, when your hour has come, you are taken upstairs and seated in a very homey environment. The staff is so friendly and hospitable, a staple of Hawaiian culture. Once again, Corned Beef Hash is good. The pannys (pancakes as I call them) were light and fluffy. A triple stack will serve an adequate appetite well. Their Acai bowl is a health nut's wet dream, and great tasting to boot. Order coffee and someone will top you off each time before you realize you even need it, seamlessly. Eggs 'N Things is a great place for a home cooked breakfast feel. It's also a great place to test your patience if you come late. However in the end, if you're patient enough, you'll be rewarded.

    Definitely overrated, while the wait of 45 minutes wasnt bad in my opinion and the gentlemen who passed out those pagers was cool trying to make the time go by easier with some minor entertainment. The overrated portion of the visit was the food itself. Not overly impressed with the Hawaiian Loco Moco, it was my first time having it but all I can say was it reeked heavily of Celery and I hate Celery! It was also on the heavy side being all gravy and rice. I asked for the eggs on the Loco Moco to be Sunny Side up, its came looking Sunny, and was firm/not runny when I cut into it. Bad sign that a place that specializes in eggs can't cook it right. We also split an Order of Mac Pancake, nothing special, just imagine regular pancakes with Mac Nuts sprinkled on it, anybody can do that! We had a great view (sarcasm of course) of the Post Office Parking Lot and I barely had a refill on my coffee as other posters mentioned. I had to keep looking around for the waitress until she came around. The service from the staff is subpar and I guess when you deal with mobs of Japanese tourist, I'd be grumpy and angry all day too. Do yourself a favor and save your money, go eat Ramen for breakfast, you are not missing out on anything by eating breakfast here. Overall, cost about $45 for 2 people during Breakfast, not worth it.

    The food was just okay. You will get a good sized portion. You will sit and eat it. And, you will wonder at the end why you ate it all. Yes, YOU. Don't despair. You are in HAWAII!! Stop feeling bad about having shoveled all that food down and just get outside.

  • Michelle C.

    Minus one star for the wait, and minus another star for waiting on flagging down the waitress. Now if you have patience and are not hungry, you have to eat at this place!!! Also know what you want when you are asked for your order. I had the macadamia nut pancakes and they were really good. I poured on the guava syrup all over that sucker. My boyfriend had the Ahi fish and said it was hella good! We also ordered the Guava juice drink, it was very tasty. The restaurant was really small upstairs. Yet it has a very Southern Plantation look to it. FYI, they charge an extra .50c for a togo box. It is a must eat place, try to get there when they open at 6am, or you are stuck outside with tons of Japanese visitors so skinny and it makes you look like a fat ass waiting for your damn carb filled pancakes.

  • Jennifer C.

    This is a really good place to eat breakfast and it's located within walking distance from Waikiki beach. There's quite a long wait at this place, so i suggest coming super early (like before 9am if possible) to avoid the long lines. The spam and green onion omlette was just OK - i definitely expected more out of it but felt like i could have made it myself at home. The portugese sausage was super yummy! But my favorite dish was the macadamia nut pancakes with coconut syrup! SO DELICIOUS.

  • Samir K.

    Eggs, things. The name is all you need to know. I'm not a big breakfast person but the food was solid, the eggs were properly cooked, etc. For what it was, its a solid place that's full of tourists (though what in Waikiki isn't?)

    (4)

  • Tracy P.

    These are really the best pancakes I have had. I thought the hype was just a tourist trap, but the food here is really good. Go more at lunch time to avoid the long waits but even if you have a wait of an hour it's worth it. Delicious pineapple and coconut syrup mixed together!

  • Ashley S.

    I have never eaten at an Eggs 'N Things before, but read the reviews on YELP and was excited. I think they lived up to my expectations. Be prepared for a wait, but its worth it. I think the longest we waited was around 30 minutes, not too bad. This location seemed on the small size, so the seating is kind of crowded, but not to the point where you're bumping elbows with your neighbor. We went twice while in Waikiki and we would have gone more. The service was good, the food was delicious, and its open to the outdoors, so you might even see some little birds helping clean up after people have left. It was a good place for breakfast.

    This place is deliciousoooooo for breakfast or brunch, but make reservations if you are going to this specific location for breakfast or at noon! It is quite small and they get a bit busy in the mornings, BUT they have a little Eggs n' Things gift store on the street level where you can waste time and also little shops around it as well. Open for breakfast and dinner; two separate menus - but you can order pancakes as a side order during dinner hours as well! Service First things first, their service is great! The waiter suggested healthy options we can choose from that is not on your menu; such as an egg-white omelet, and popular items as well. *Their pancakes are pretty much their popular item! The waiter also served my food a bit late, because the cook had cracked my omelet, which I liked because of the service they were giving, but I still would've eaten it either way :O They check up on you, but not to the point where they are just bothering you. Just great service overall (if only I can remember the waiters name). Food OMYGAAAAWDDD, their pancakes are to die for; fluffy, stacked, moist pancakes that make you want more. I had the regular ol' pancakes and they were STILL the best pancakes I have ever eaten in my life. Just drizzle a bit of Guava syrup on that bad boy and it will taste even better. They have 3 choices of syrup at your table as well COCONUT, GUAVA, and MAPLE syrup, ketchup, salt, and pepper are also at your table for your convenience. I also had the omelet which was also filling! I forget what was in my omelet, but it was overall good I remember that (I'm writing this review a bit late). Next thing I definitely want to try are their waffles ^.^ I have never been to Eggs 'n Things for dinner, but I would really like to try their loco moco that's on their dinner menu too. I've never had one since I moved here, I think this would be a great place to try a loco moco for the first time, either there or at Aloha Table! I've been doing some research on the top notch place to eat a loco moco, I want my experience to be great since loco mocos are so popular here! Parking I'm not sure where the parking is, but this place is pretty much in the city. My ex-boyfriend and I rented a room nearby so it was walking distance for us. But as I looked out from the second level I saw barely any parking nearby.

  • AJ D.

    Came here to eat breakfast while we were in Waikiki. The place is really small, and it is upstairs because downstairs is the store/juice bar. We waited maybe about 25 minutes to get seated. I ordered the macadamia nut pancakes and smothered it with coconut syrup. It was delicious! They put so much macadamia nuts. The coconut syrup was amazing! My husband and children ordered Portuguese sausage and rice and spam and rice. It was pretty pricey. We spent almost $50 on breakfast and we didn't order a whole lot. McDonald's also sells Portuguese sausage and rice and spam and rice, so it was pricey when the same food could be purchased at a fast food chain! Great customer service though, but I just didn't like the fact that it was so small in there and everyone was seated so close to each other.

    On an Island of tourist traps, Eggs 'N Things sits atop the heap--this is no compliment. Eggs 'N Things business model seems to follow three simple rules. 1. Create an artificial groundswell by tricking unknowing tourists into standing outside the restaurant for ungodly periods of time. 2. Repeatedly LIE TO THEM about how long the wait is. We were originally told 45 minutes. Then another 10 and then another 5 and so on. It ended up being an hour and a half! 3. Serve cheap and crappy food in a cramped and grimy setting. I don't get it. Within walking distance of this restaurant is a Denny's and an IHop, both of which have better menus and faster seating and service and yet this place has captured some sort of zeitgeist. Do yourself a favor and stay away!

    We've been going to Eggs 'N Things since it was located at the Kalakauan. It's a solid breakfast choice! They're opening a second location in the Waikiki Circle Hotel sometime in 2011. If you get there before 7:30am you probably won't have to wait too long, but it is a very popular destination, especially for Japanese tourists. Food: Very good. We especially like the Ahi & Eggs, Sweet Bread French Toast (especially if you get it with banana and mac nuts and use the coconut syrup), Plantation Iced Tea (not sweet but refreshing), and you really can't go wrong with the many pancake choices. Parking: I have no idea, we always walk from our hotel in Waikiki. Service: Hit and miss. We usually get very friendly service but every once in a while it seems like someone got up on the wrong side of the bed. Keep in mind that they are very busy, so don't linger. Decor/Ambiance: Quarters are cramped. Just go with it! You may be asked to sit at the counter if you have a small party and want to eat on the lanai.

    Do not go here if you have a stroller! They will not let you keep it with you; even folded away neatly. They make you keep it on the street for anyone to steal. Terrible manager, terrible service - and just plain rude. So many wonderful other restaurants in this area. Spend your money elsewhere!!!

    The wait here is no joke, I come back here every visit to Oahu and the wait is still consistently nearly an hour. Once you get seated though, it's on! You have to try the Mac nut Pancakes with the Guava Syrup. I'm not gonna lie, I always wanna drink the Guava Syrup bottles on the table =X Besides the pancakes I've had the Corned Beef Hash and the Portuguese Sausage, but every time I tell myself to stick to the Mac Nut Pancakes and Guava Syrup combo. It's not the best pancake I've ever had, but the pre-mentioned combo is just really good! Great breakfast spot in Honolulu, just be prepared for a 45min wait.

    Love the food but not the wait. But I have to admit, I would probably come back again. Coconut pancakes for Macadamia pancakes for me. Good for the food but not the long wait experience. The black dude in front speaking Japanese was real entertaining!

  • Ken G.

    After all the hype, this place was disappointing, but it was still decent food. I'd seen all the great reviews and thought this would be a really good breakfast option, which is tough to find in Waikiki - this is pretty much the same. We each had an omelet and split the french toast special. Portuguese Sausage Omelet - I will admit that it looked perfect, but the taste was just okay. The sausage and eggs were cooked well. Sweet Bread French Toast (Special) - This also looked incredible, but did lack flavor and did not have the sweetness someone would expect from french toast...even adding syrup only made it taste slightly better. The service was very good and friendly. All in all, this place was okay - definitely not worth the long 1 hour wait we had. If there's no line, this is okay, especially for Waikiki, where good food is hit-or-miss.

  • Vy E.

    Now I understand why this place has horrible reviews. I waited 45 minutes on a Sunday morning just to be seated with an extremely rude waiter and to eat food I can make better at home. Banana pancakes with coconut syrup I can easily make from home. Sausage was extremely salty. Horrible waiter, I forgot his name but you can spot him with his frumpy face. He told me that I can only order ONCE so no, I cannot add a side of eggs if I decide that I am still hungry after the nasty meal. Thanks for wasting my morning vacation.

    Gone are the days of stumbling into a packed Eggs 'N Things at 4am in a drunken stupor, seeking sobriety from an omelet and potatoes. Ever since that fire happened at the Kalakauan location and the long pause of existence, I am slowly making my way back to one of my favorite places for some seriously good breakfast food (even though it's 9pm at night). The menu offers your typical breakfast food items (e.g. pancakes, waffles, omelets). Tonight I tried their chicken fried steak special. It comes with potato salad and I opted for banana pancakes and a side order of rice (you know..... locals need their rice). Chicken fried steak was topped with brown gravy and it sure was tasty as it should be. Potato salad was REALLY good and rounded out this plate-lunch-esque breakfast experience. The banana pancakes won me over with lots of sliced bananas on top and cooked within each pancake. Coconut NOT maple syrup is a must with this. Aside from the good food, here are other things to expect when coming here. Parking sucks because you have to find meter street parking or use the pay per hour parking lot. Expect long lines filled with tourist (so going on an off weeknight would be your best bet to avoid crowds; however, they are already feeling the effects from the massive earthquake in Japan); and hopefully you can expect service with a smile (both occasions for me was good). They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day.... so I'd say why not come and enjoy it here.

    We were very excited about eating here after we saw the long lines every morning in front of this place. We thought...wow! It must be great for all the people to wait that long for breakfast! We waited for about 20 minutes in line and then we ordered. They charged us extra for everything except the air we breathed while we were there! It was $40 for breakfast. The food was very good so I wasn't that upset. What upset me was that I paid $4.59 for my wife's orange juice (which she needed because her blood pressure was low this morning) she quickly drank it and we asked for a refill. "Sorry we don't refill orange juice" is what the waitress said. They would refill my soda as much as I wanted. I told her she needed orange juice for her low blood pressure that morning. The waitress said she was sorry. We boxed up our food and left no tip and quickly left. I will never go there again...over $5 orange juice. It's a shame. Also, we were served on paper plates and plastic silverware. I saw the orange juice they were pouring people too...it was an off-brand gallon of orange juice that costs less than the glass my wife was poured. Please don't go to this restaurant. It has almost ruined our vacation.

    Lived up to is hype! Yes, it does get pretty crowded with Japanese tourist and such so either have a late breakfast or schedule a late dinner. Macadamium Nut pancakes were chockful of nuts and very hearty. Corned beef hash was heavenly. You gotta try the guava and coconut syrup.

    (5)

  • Arnold P.

    Overated and the prices & the line up is not worth it. Food ingredients quality is a suspect. The corned beef hash, I had, seemed to come from a can?!? The coconut syrup is good tho. I'd rather go to Wailana or Original Pancake house.

  • Kaori T.

    Those "Things" this place boasts about are the pancakes. PANCAKES PANCAKES PANCAKES. I ordered the Strawberry Whip Pancakes as an upgrade to my portuguese sausage and green onion scramble. Both dishes were great. The scramble came alongside a side of homemade salsa. How splendid of an idea to put salsa with this scramble! Also had the pineapple waffle which barely surfaced as a decent dish among the pancakes and salsa-scramble. The fried rice was great too. It was as light yet as tasty as fried rice could be. Not the usual soy-sauce enduced rice called fried that many shops batch up. A hearty meal indeed. For the pancakes made this place the place to be, for the pancakes you should witness it's reign. I believe that I would never care to stumble back to this place again if it weren't for my current urge to test out the macadamian nut pancakes. Now HI, I got something to look forward to. The wait is long however. Clientele is 90% Japanese but it rocks that most of the wait staff works on a bilingual clock. Our waitress however was rough around the edges and really proved to be a grump. Lucky for her, her pancakes were siiick!

  • Jess O.

    This place is decent. They used to have a great early bird special before they moved, but no longer :( They have some special, but it isn't very good actually. The real early bird special is that you can actually get a seat in less than an hour. Look this is a good breakfast place, but not worth waiting an hour. They have big portions and the food is pretty good. The wait is long though and the prices are slightly higher than they should be. I find it especially annoying that they charge for to-go containers.

    (3)

  • Hunter Ash P.

    It's been said here before and I will say it again. The Macadamia Nut Pancakes plus coconut syrup (discovered the combo by accident) is insanely good! I also had their corned beef hash and thought it was OK, not that much different from what they serve at Denny's although I would definitely have the latter any day. The only reason I gave it a 4 instead of 5 stars is because of the service which is rather impersonal. Granted I come to a restaurant to eat and not to get my behind kissed, but a little personal touch would be nice. Russell the bus boy (drink server?) is an exception though. He pretends to remember people even when he obviously doesn't.

  • Anna R.

    Ok I get the long lines. It's definitely the experience. No need to add more than has already been said. But here are my highlights: - Ken the "host" that takes your name and hands out pagers is entertaining as corny as he may seem! Everyone, including me, seemed to appreciate his announcements and made the wait seem less as long. - Auntie Paulette waited on us and she was as sweet as any auntie you might have. She took great care of us and made us feel right at home. - They've already made it easy for you on the menu highlighting their popular dishes. Don't try to be a rebel. You'll thank them later!

  • Nina L.

    There was a crowd outside of the restaurant waiting to be seated. Aside form the actual wait, they were very very organized with the process of taking our name, calling us up for a pager, and then seating us right away as soon as the pager went off. They also hand you a menu to study carefully while you wait. They also have lots of benches out front to make your wait a little bearable. We were seated at the counter overlooking the street. Our server was very nice and super efficient. Husband ordered the corned beef hash and eggs, which is basically canned corned beef hash with fresh corned beef and veggies added to it. It had a nice crusty top to it and went perfectly with over-easy eggs. I ordered the coconut waffle that was a nice thin waffle the size of an 8-inch plate covered with shredded coconut and a scoop of butter. The waffle was crunchy but chewy (just how I like it) and their coconut and guava syrups made my breakfast scrumptious and satisfying. Mmmm...my mouth is watering as I type this review. I want to go back!

  • Larry L.

    I had great expectations, of course. Eggs-n-things is legendary, their reputation precedes them and so, apparently, does a long line. I hadn't been to Eggs-n-things since "back in the day" more than 20 years ago after closing time at The Wave when there was nothing left to do but spill out into the street hungry and confused and wander around the corner to the place with warm fluffy eggs, hot coffee, and bright lights to wake you up before heading home. Now E-N-T has become somewhat of a local legend, expanded to 3 locations, and on this particular night we struck out at the first two (i.e. couldn't find parking or wait 30-40 minutes for a table) and so we ended up at the 3rd location on Saratoga Road across from the Post Office. $10 flat fee parking on a Friday night was not enough to deter my enthusiasm. We entered the restaurant cold and hungry, fresh out of the wind and rain, and found friendly attentive service. That's the good news. The bad news is that the food was not exactly anything to write home about. I eyed the house special country fried steak, which promised to be a "huge new york steak, battered and covered with white or brown gravy". Now I usually think of country fried steak as a breaded faux-steak patty of cubed beef or some sort of hybrid between chopped, ground and tough meat rendered palatable by a dip in hot grease. What's not to love? This, however, sounded from the menu description like some heaven-sent magic concoction designed to satisfy my deepest cravings for two of my favorite foods: fried chicken, and New York steak. I imagined cutting into my thick, juicy steak with a crunchy crispy crust and just the right amount of sinful, rich brown au-jus based gravy. Wow, "why hasn't this been done before?" I wondered, who wouldn't want to eat their steak and fry it, too? I ordered obligatory breakfast restaurant side dish of country potatoes and asked for them to be cooked "extra crispy". No problem, assured our waiter. NOTE TO SELF: Next time you order a steak and they don't ask you how you want it cooked, be prepared for it not be what you think of as a "steak". I barely had time to slide my siverware over and clear way for a plate before the anticipated plate arrived. I mean, literally, from the time the waiter took the order to the time the food came had to have been about two minutes or less. Really. My first thought was - "well, that was so fast, how could they possibly have made the potatoes extra-crispy?" Of course, I was correct in wondering that, but it was the wrong question. The more important question should have been "how could they have possibly sliced a "New York" steak that thinly?" it was, like, 1/8" thick. Seriously. The breading on each side was about equal to the thickness of the steak. It looked like one of those classic "spilled soda" gag gifts that has a fake plastic puddle of liquid that lifts right up as one flat piece when you pick it up. And the brown gravy seemed to be fresh all right; fresh outta the can. At least the potatoes were, in fact, crispy. But that's clearly not from being cooked to order, it's from being cooked probably hours earlier and left sitting around to be served when ordered. I recommend to any restaurant owner with entrees just a'sittin' on the kitchen racks waiting to be ordered... if you are capable of producing the order in less than two minutes... DO NOT DO IT. Wait a respectable 5 minutes or so, just to help us maintain the illusion that you are cooking it fresh. And then run it through the microwave before you serve it, so it will be hot instead of tepid. At least that's how I'd do it if I were trying to pass off pre-cooked crap as fresh-cooked deliciousness. I won't even begin to get into the rest of the meal, which was adequate but certainly not spectacular or even close to a good value for the price. $13 for a limp waffle with a pile of whipped cream and a scoop of ice cream? It was good, but not something to hang your hat on. Would I eat there again? Well, The Wave is long gone and so are my days of closing clubs at 4 am, which is when this might have made better sense. Unless there's a return of those things I probably won't rush to return here. But that's just my .02.

    This was the closest breakfast place to our hotel and there was a little bit of a wait. Was busy but the food was just okay, plentiful. I had the fried rice with an egg on top. Too much goin' on in the fried rice. They threw in everything but the kitchen sink. Egg on top was delightful though, thoroughly enjoyed that.

    Decided to try this place out as our hotels free breakfast was starting to grow old on us. Upon arriving I was told it would be a 10 minute wait, ended up being over 35 minutes. I understand it's hard to estimate time but not my biggest complaint here. My wife's omelette was SWIMMING in butter and lacked flavor. The only redeeming item on her plate were the potatoes. Most of those were well seasoned and crispy. My macadamia nut pancakes were tough and dry, there's no doubt I could make better at home. I'd even put IHOP ahead of this place based on these two dishes.

    Just happen to hear about this breakfast place from local friends and just happened to be 'just around the corner' from my hotel. I'm giving it a 4 just because we were quoted wait time of 25-30 minutes and our vibrating pad started to erupt after about 5 minutes, so we were happy to head upstairs to the dining room. Definitely great service and a fairly wide variety of omelets, for me I always have egg whites and pick their special portegee sausage....I forgot the take the pic before I dove face down into my plate so I found a funny shot of my meal - the caption should read 'finally, witnessed baby Portuguese sausage being birthed by egg white parents'. I'll make the caption generic on the photo site. The mac pancakes were good...mac nuts mixed into the pancakes and more piled on top..comes with your regular breakfast.. If you only spoke Japanese, no problem this is your restaurant...if I had to wait an hour for a table - 3.5 stars. Not much of a view unless you enjoy a little people watching.

    The food is great and the turnaround time is short, most of the servers aren't stressed out. however, i wish i wasn't rushed and they make you order all your food at once so when i want a dessert crepe and i don't know which one, i can't order it.

  • Al E.

    Is the long wait worth it? Possibly but I am not convinced. A tourist-trap to say the least, the coffee & juices are really good! We came here 3 times before finally sitting out the wait long enough to eat. Food was very good, service was ok :)

  • Will A.

    It's a greasy spoon. It's not horrible, but it's not anything special either. The mac pancakes are plain buttermilk pancakes with macadamia nuts. They're exactly as you'd imagine them. Perhaps you should do it once, but if there's a line, keep walking.

    (2)

  • Craig K.

    A little overrated. Food is ho hum, service is meh. It was alright, but not really worth the big line wait. Maybe it was because I had higher expectations, but it was kind of a letdown. Only try if there is no line.

  • Rubie G.

    The Mac but pancakes with coco syrup were flavortown central. Port sausage and spam were were also good Eggs were a little runny and for scrambled eggs, it makes a difference.

  • Naceam A.

    So worth the wait! Server was really friendly and helpful in decision making. I got the ahi steak and my friend got the Portuguese sausage so we decided to split them for maximum experience. Prices were very reasonable and food portions will definitely satisfy.

    Pretty darn good. We went here for dinner after we read about the breakfast/brunch lines. We were seated right away. Our server, Eddie, was fabulous! We were the only English speaking table in the restaurant (everyone else was from Japan) and our server Eddie was speaking Japanese to everyone like nobody's business! (We asked and he said he lived there for 10 years). We ordered coconut pancakes (my father LOVED them). The potato, bacon, and cheese omelet was very good! The buttermilk pancakes were made amazingly good by the coconut syrup! The blueberry pancakes were pretty good but I wasn't crazy about them. The Loco Moco dinner entree was enjoyed immensely by my family. The service here is great. It is a small dining area, so don't bring a huge group here. The balcony is TINY and hope you don't get stuck out there. Dinner for 4 for $62. You can't beat that in Waikiki!!

  • Andy W.

    This is my first review and I felt compelled to do so so that others be informed about this place. Decent service but the food was terrible ... at least the 2 dishes we ordered. Frankly, plates at other tables don't look too appealing either. My 2 kids used to love French crepes but not here. Their strawberry crepes were soggy and the strawberries look and taste like canned strawberry. Worst ever! This is a tourist trap ... I came here because of the avg 3.5 decent Yelp ratings and close proximity to my hotel. Big mistake. My sausages were watery and soft ... Not edible. Save your money and just grab a latte and pastry elsewhere.

  • Goldie L.

    Macadamia pancakes are yummy. Prefer guava syrup over coconut. Minced sausage, spam and scrambled eggs are alright. Food was good but I'm not sure about the service.....Our old lady sever kept bumping into me. I think the second time was on purpose. She did not even apologize. She was overall unfriendly toward us... Our drink waiter however was wonderful.

  • Arpineh K.

    I absolutely loved this place! If you are ever in Waikiki you should definitely go for breakfast here one day. I wanted to go every single day but didn't happen =/ I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because the wait was about 45 minutes long and all of the seating was taken. I wish this place were bigger so they could accommodate more people. The food was amazingggg, especially my macadamia nut pancakes and my omelet which was all wrapped up like a calzone (love that). And it came with a delicious salsa. We sat on the balcony so we had a beautiful view of the streets and park the whole time. Service was good and it was just a great experience. Can't wait to go back to Hawaii for this.

    Great food although its all on paper plates, line starts at the time it opens, so around 6 am . it goes fast though. The view is great, lots of tourist though. love the coffee.

    O.K. I have been going to Eggs 'N Things for over 15 years now... I won't rattle on with my thoughts on this place for a change :0) If you want a GREAT breakfast... GO HERE. Yes, you will wait unless you are an early riser, but that's what happens when you want good food sometimes. Oddly enough I think they have the best salsa on Oahu. Yes, salsa! Try it with your eggs and rice when you are there. Oh, and their banana pancakes are the best! Wait... I wasn't going to rattle on... Great new location BTW.

  • Veronica S.

    great food, banana pancakes to die for. they offer pinapple syurp, guava syurp or maple....def split the omlettes with the little ones! you do have to wait but way worth it

  • Jonathan M.

    This place is very popular, expect to wait, especially if you have a larger group. Fortunately, it was only two of us and we didn't wait that long and the staff was friendly and informative about their pager system (or lack thereof for that many parties waiting). Food wise...we both tried omelettes (Portuguese sausage, the other bacon) and both were OK. Nothing fancy, nothing that stands out. However...the pancakes were delicious! Macadamia Nut and the other Banana both with powdered sugar...mmmm. I opted to go with the Guava syrup over Maple and was very satisfied. The syrup was not too sweet and didn't take away the flavor of the cakes and its toppings.

  • Ax C.

    It's breakfast food. Pancakes, eggs, bacon, etc. Good, but the waits? I could go to Food Pantry, buy the ingredients, make my meal, and eat it before I was half way to a table here. If you must try, go at night .

    (2)

  • Triple C.

    An delicious breakfast place with the standout menu item being their macnut pancakes! Yummy! It is done just right with alot of macnut chunks. Other things on the menu that are a must try must include the portuguese sausage! I wouldn't say a healthier alternative to American sausage but it is definitely very good! Their omlettes were just ok, in my opinion as it wasn't as hearty as I would like. Also, the coffee seems very watered down despite the fact they do promote their own brand of coffee. Service is a little sketchy as somethings they are attentive but sometimes will completely ignore you request for coffee refills. 3.5 star overall.

  • Suzanne C.

    This was my first visit to Eggs 'n Things. I had seen the restaurant on my travels here but had never found the time to visit. I had read the reviews about lines and wait times. I was hoping that being a party of one would make the wait shorter and that proved to be true. I got seated right away at the outdoor counter. The service was pretty fast. I ordered a ham and cheese omelette and pancakes. My coffee was warm but not hot and it was not very good. The omelette was fine. Not the best omelette I have ever eaten and not the worst either. The pancakes were better and I liked that they brought you 3 types of syrup. The serving sizes were large and reasonably priced. My breakfast was 14.00. Overall it was ok. I would not to make a wait for a table but if you are a party of one and want a no nonsense breakfast, its not bad.

  • T E.

    This place is fine, but not as great as many of the other reviews suggest. We much preferred the Wailana Coffee House, which is nearby, has a bigger menu and is not as hard to get into. The macadamia nut pancakes are very good, but the scrambled eggs that came with it were nothing special (somewhat dry).

    (3)

  • Gwen S.

    Woke up extra early to check this brunch place out. The pancakes were very fluffy, but everything else didn't stand out very much. It wasn't definitely not worth the wait or money!

  • PN J.

    If you like very pale, rubbery pancakes with no taste, then this is the restaurant for you! Don't let the long lines of (mostly Japanese) tourists fool you. Yes, this is Waikiki and prices are high, but the food should at least taste good. Or is that too much to ask? Here's more. My husband ordered sunny-side up eggs with Portuguese sausage. The eggs were SO tiny! We'd never seen such small yolks. Clearly, they are not using large eggs here. It didn't help that the sausage was very salty. We're locals (I'm born and raised here) so we know that Portuguese sausage doesn't have to be salty! I've eaten at Eggs and Things for years in all of it's locations since it first opened in the 70's. The food used to be amazing, but sadly it seems, it's at best uneven. It's unfortunate when popularity breeds mediocrity. Trust me, there are LOTS of better places for breakfast in Waikiki.

  • Ultimate Foodie L.

    Excellent food, great service, loooooong wait. Tried their macadamia pancakes, portuguese sausage, eggs, and an omelette. Everything was very good....not the best I've even had, but well worth the hour wait. (mind you, I'm the Ultimate Foodie and have eaten alot of different foods in my life) Downed it all with a tall glass of POG..... yummy! Convenient location within walking distance on anywhere on the strip in Waikiki... I would come back here again and again. Do yourself a favor and give this place a try!

  • Helena Q.

    Bleh. This tasted like dining hall food. Coconut pancakes were extra money for dried coconut flakes, just like those in dining halls. Pancake itself was pretty blah too, very difficult to cut, a bit dry, and not really fluffy. Omelet was too salty. Considering the price, I'm not impressed at all. (Juice was nice though!)

    (2)

  • Johnathon O.

    Good breakfast place. There's some unique items on the menu and three types of syrup for the pancakes (papaya, coconut, and regular - I thiknk!) Always a huge wait, especially on the weekends, but worth the while!

    (4)

  • Lisa T.

    The wait times are ridiculously long...but totally worth it. I think the pancakes here are..BETTER (gasp) than the hyped mac nut pancakes at Boots & Kimo's. I had the MOST delicious, light, fluffy pancakes - all with the HUGEST dollop of whip cream and sprinkled with strawberries. Seriously so good. I can't really speak to the other food b/c I stuffed my self silly with the pancakes. But the food when I looked around at other tables looked delicious and/or devoured. The servers were very friendly but also quite strict with their rules. Make sure your whole party is there before trying to get seated. FYI - if you have strollers - you can store them downstairs and out of the way (and then hoof it up the stairs to the dining area).

    Haven't been to Eggs N Things in a long while, but thanks to my bf planning a "date" during Restaurant Week Hawaii....Eggs N Things was his choice. I wasn't too enthused when he told me and more so when I saw the sea of Japanese tourists. Seriously, how did they find out about this spot?! Anyway, thank goodness for Restaurant Week because this local was pleased to be here, tourist-ville and all. Even though we waited for a half hour, I killed time by shopping nearby at HIC & Lucky. It was nice to see that they expanded their restaurant and had a nice big seating area. I chose to eat off of the special RW menu, so here's what I got: Appetizer: Crabby Crab Cake with a Citrus Chili Sauce Entree: Ribeye Steak with Sauteed Mushroom and Onions with Vegetable Medley. Plus home-fried potatoes. BF got the Fresh Seared Wasabi Soy Ahi with sauteed peppers and pasta. Dessert: I had the Ice Cream Waffle with mangoes & blueberries topped with (a can) whipped cream and (a tiny bit of) chocolate drizzle. BF chose the other dessert: Ice Cream Pancake with strawberries & bananas topped with (another can of) whip cream and choc drizzle. All in all, the meal was filling, delicious, and worth $20. I know we wouldn't normally go to Eggs N Things for anything but breakfast, but it was nice to try a lunch/dinner entree. I wouldn't say I have to ever eat the crab cake or ribeye again, but I must suggest the ice cream pancake OR waffle. That is worth the price of visiting Waikiki!!!....and long wait.

    *Disclaimer* We were tourists and we believed everything a local told us. Now with that being said we first heard about this place from our driver that picked us up from the airport. He said it was the best and that there's always a line. True. We tried this place one evening and here's what happened I ordered some pancakes and an omelet, my daughter just wanted macadamia pancakes, then my husband orders another omelet but he wants his pancakes with blueberries...sure no problem per the cashier, then I said well if your getting blueberries, then I want bananas...sure no problem. Well there wasn't a problem until he gave me our total...over $65 dollars for some panacakes and 2 omelets. I was beside myself. The blueberries and bananas cost us over $13! I don't mind spending money on food, but $65 for some pancakes is a bit too much to swallow. Our order came out on paper plates and disposable utensils. The food was decent for a $40 dollar price tag, but nothing great. Oh then we told our waiter that we were really excited to eat here (despite the sticker shock) He then tells us "Oh it's our marketing...we target the airport" Did you hear my bubble burst?

  • Janice C.

    The portion is HUGE especially if you order a pancake dish. My husband ordered a macadamia nut banana pancake that can feed 3 people and I ordered a ham chop & eggs. If we knew about the portion, we would have shared one entree and ordered a side dish instead. We got there around 8am and waited for 5 - 10 minutes. It's considered "cheap" breakfast in Waikiki unless you consider Starbucks as an alternative.

  • Brandon B.

    I don't know why everyone is being so whiny about the wait here...read the reviews, look around when you get there...there's probably a wait. If you don't want to wait, go somewhere else. It's kind of ridiculous to give a place a bad review for being popular. They handle the lines well...you sign in, get a pager, can grab some coffee or tea while you wait and browse the little gift area. Also, if you don't want to wait but really want to go to Eggs 'N Things, here's a tip...don't go for breakfast! My wife and I went 2x for non-breakfast meals and had no wait at all! You can still get the full menu of pancakes, omelets, etc. any time they're open. On our last morning we decided to go for breakfast because we enjoyed our other times there so much and, guess what, there was a wait! OMG!!! Poor us. You know what else...the food was freaking delicious when we got in! Having been there several times and tried multiple items, I can highly recommend the chili omelet (one of the dinner specials one night) and loco moco, but nothing tops the pancakes! One of the specials was a trio of pineapple, coconut, and macadamia nut pancakes...FANTASTIC! I've been a fan of coconut syrup for a while now and never really though anything could top that, but their guava syrup just dethroned the king! I almost didn't even try it because I was so in love with coconut, but once I did...I could eat that on steak! It's just amazing! We bought a bottle to bring home and I'm treating it like a precious commodity...once it's gone...well I guess we'll have to book a flight :) Seriously, the lines at breakfast will be long. Don't go for breakfast if you don't have time to wait. But definitely go! The staff was tremendous as well...top notch friendly and helpful all around!

    My trip to Oahu is not complete without visiting Eggs 'n Things. I was sad last time I went there because they were in the process of moving to a new location and closed down the old place. They re-opened at Saratoga Rd days after I already left. The new location is more convenient as it is closer to tourist area. I generally prefer breakfast over lunch or dinner so this explains my love for Eggs 'n Things. My favorite thing to get there: Macadamia nut waffle with coconut syrup; not the pancake. Waffle is always better than pancake anyways. Ask for extra madacamia nuts and shredded coconut as toppings. Pour coconut syrup generously on top and enjoy your crispy, nutty waffle. I don't like their regular maple syrup and guava syrup. We also got spam and green onion omelete and it was very good. They also serve crepes, french toasts and other meat with egg combos. QUICK TIP: 1 FREE DESSERT WITH THE PURCHASE OF ANY TWO MEALS FROM ALOHA KOREA MAGAZINE. 4 stars!! I am a fan!! Eggs N' Things is yummylicious!!

    I made it a point to come back to Eggs 'n Things since I had such a memorable experience the last time. However, if you plan on sleeping in, be prepared to wait for awhile for seats here. We got there a little before 10 am and there were already groups of people ahead of us. For some reason, this time around, I wasn't too impressed. I had the eggs benedict and the hollandaise sauce had this off color to it...it looked kinda rubbery. Minus one star for how they manage their waiting system. It got a little messy because the massive amounts of people waiting and skipped our names and we ended up waiting longer than we had to.

    Da best pancakes - EVER! Was that wait in line worth it? Yes, absolutely. Not only is the food amazing, but the host while you wait is so entertaining. I wish I got the name of the host, but he's the guy who can speak English and Japanese, has long dreads, and does robotic moves which make the kids in line laugh. After waiting about 45 minutes, my friend and I were able to go upstairs to the restaurant area where we were seated immediately and our cups of coffee were never empty. Russell, the former boxer, was our waiter - and he was very nice, charming, informative, and kept our coffee aplenty. I ordered the mushroom and cheese omelet which came with a side of pancakes. The omelet came with this amazing marinara that I swear has cumin in it - it tasted delicious! And the pancakes were the fluffiest pancakes I have ever had. SO GOOD. Top it off with a selection of different syrups: guava, coconut and maple. It was pancake perfection!

    Big upset! Long line for what? We went to the one on Kalakaua near the Waikiki Beachside Hotel. By the time we sat down, service was a rush, and the food was barely satisfying. Whats the big hype??? And it wasn't cheap. The next day we went to the Hula Grill Waikiki in the Outrigger Waikiki Hotel...and that was an awesome breakfast! Awesome view, great service, and food was better and more affordable.!

  • Hashim A.

    Came here twice for breakfast when I was in Waikiki. This place is pretty popular and there may be a wait after 7:45am, but it is well worth it. The pancakes are pretty darn good. You gotta try the macadamia nut pancakes and the coconut pancakes. Both go well with the coconut syrup. Bonus points for having turkey bacon. I always like breakfast places with turkey/chicken/beef breakfast meats for those who don't eat pork. It is a little pricier than typical mainland places, and the tables are a little packed in there, but hey, you're in Waikiki, what do you expect? I'll be coming back here again.

    Waited for 30 min and then they said they could not find me so they sat someone else. I was at coffee shop next door (in plain sight) and their buzzer never buzzed. Was told wait it will be just a few min(less than 15) . Well 30 min later nothing. When I went to check he really didn't care. Why would they... There are tons of Japanese tourists waiting in line to eat the butter laden eggs they serve. Net net... It's not worth the wait - I got just as awesome an acai bowl at island vintage coffee w out the hour wait, and with nicer service. Btw I have gone to eggs n things every time I go to Hawaii and several times when here... But no more... Bye bye eggs n things!

    I do not like to write negative reviews but I will this time. A friend in town has me eating here. As usual long wait... To be expected.. But waitress forgot to put our order in and it took 11/2 hours to get food. She was completely indifferent to the fact we waited so long. The bus boy was good. Food is OK for regular American breakfast. Make sure you have lots of time to eat here.

  • Brad S.

    This review would have been a 5 star review if we would not gone back for another breakfast. We went their twice while on vacation and our first experience was great. Great food, service and just a fun little place to walk to and have breakfast. The Macadamia Nut pancakes with coconut syrup are great. The omelet we had was a bit runny and the potatoes were great. We got their early our first time so it wasn't very busy and that is probably why it was a great first experience. BUT, when this place gets busy it's like mad chaos. No one, not one of the 6 employees that I had interaction with or observed look like they knew anything about running a restaurant. First of all was Eddy (or Edwardous) manning the list to get a seat. It was a 40 minute wait and Eddy gave us the buzzer. He told us to go walk around for 20-30 minutes but come back sooner than 40 as a table might open up. Well we did, we came back 11 minutes later and sat down and waited to be called. At the 45 minute mark I went up to see where we were at. Eddy was nowhere in sight and lo and behold our name had been crossed off. Our buzzer didn't buzz nor did Eddy come out and yell our name like he did every other person on the list. He did however manage to flirt with Japanese girls and Trolley driver as we sat there waiting. We finally get a seat, after about 15 minutes we had one of the bus boys ask if we would like a drink. The waitress finally came over to get our order and was bugged that the bus boy took our drink order (well, after 15 minutes of sitting their he thought we might be thirsty and wanted to provide a little bit of actual service). So we order and ta-dah after 25 more minutes we get our pancakes and French toast. I don't know about you but I could serve a whole village of people pancakes in 25 minutes - totally unacceptable. Oh and this was just our experience. I noticed that at least half (if not more) of the people in the restaurant were just sitting there looking around with that "where's my food" look on their face. Yeah, horrible, unacceptable and some of the most unfriendly service I've received. If the pancakes weren't so darn good I would tell you not to bother, however if you show up early I would hope you get the same service we got on our first visit. Things to know - Get there early...get their early. (enough said)

    Very busy place, decent breakfast food. Got us seated after an accurate wait (10-15min) in a very polite efficient manner. Wife had macadamia pancakes that were pretty darn good. I had the ahi steak and eggs and potatoes. Ahi was over cooked and not that special. Service too busy for regular refill on ice T etc.

    We got there around 7:30am and there was absolutely no wait! Portuguese sausage with scramble eggs for breakfast and new york steak for lunch - DELICIOUS! I regret not order their mouth-watering pancakes! Walking distance from Waikiki Beach.

    Best French toast+strawberries+whipcream+topped with macadamia nuts I've ever had! The wait is long if you are really hungry (30-45 mins) Service is good and friendly Must eat here when in town!

  • Virginia Y.

    Decided to try this place since it was so hyped up. I'd say it did live up to the hype. A few plates that I shared was the loco moco and spinach,bacon and cheese omelet with macadamia pancakes. The loco moco was delicious! Egg and steak actually go quite well together. The pancakes came with a handful of macadamia nuts on top. I wish it was actually in the batter itself so every bite would be filled with nuts. The nuts ended up falling all over the place from each bite I took. The omelet wasn't too cheesy which is too my liking. You may think it's a little pricey for breakfast, my total came out to be around $38 with tip and tax. But the portions are huge! They also constantly refill your coffee.

    WARNING!!! The wait to eat here is at least an hour! To avoid the wait, you have to arrive BEFORE it opens at 6:00 am. This was fine for us, as we were from California and were still on Pacific Time. Also, it is a very small place, so don't plan on coming here with a big group. We ordered the special - banana, chocolate chip, macadamia nut french toast. It was absolutely amazing! THE best french toast I ever had. The french toast was moist and had just the right amount of toppings. We also ordered the bacon and cheese omelet. What I liked about it was that it was just the perfect amount...not a fluffy omelet where you only eat egg and barely any insides. The service was fabulous. We had an adorable little Hawaiian lady who made her own apron. The apron was a Hawaiian pattern print that covered her legs down to her ankles. Yes - they were Hawaiian chaps! The "bus boy" kept our table flowing with water and coffee while we waited for our food. And boy was it worth the wait!

    An hour wait!! Unbelievable! Good food, but the hour wait is not worth it. It definitely does not make the food taste any better. Good breakfast place. At least they had some benches for the waiting. Pancakes were light and fluffy, and seemed dry, but they weren't at all. The syrups were great. I especially liked the coconut syrup. The omelets were also good. Servers were friendly but also very slow going. Most of the time, we didn't see our own server and just waved down anyone that walked by. I love spam so glad to see they had it. Isn't that why people go to Hawaii?? :) Lots of the brunch places in Oahu have received very high scores and have long waits. I think it's only because after waiting for an hour, people are so delirious, they think the food really is that good.

    An hour and ten minute wait at 9am for four people. On a Tuesday. Plus we had to stick around for 30 minutes just to get our buzzer. Luckily kimobean is right next door :) When finally seated, service was very prompt. The staff was friendly. However I was very disappointed with the food. I got the spinach and bacon omelet with a side of mac nut pancakes. The omelet was very big, but it was not a blow my mind omelet. It was also greasy, but that was expected. The pancakes were awesome - perfectly fluffy. But. The syrups were a complete failure. They tasted like cheap processed syrup you expect from Denny's. It ruined the entire pancake experience for me. Go to boots and kimos and save yourself time and get better pancakes

    I had Corned beef hash omelet and potatoes which were both pretty good. The service here is fast and the servers are friendly and helpful. I also tried coconut syrup on pancakes - Delicious! Overall it's a good little breakfast spot with huge open windows so you can get a view of the beach while you eat. Way cool :)

    Still my fave breakfast spot. Moved to a different 2nd story location but food and friendly service still 5 stars. Highlights: - Macadamia nut pancakes: with coconut syrup they're still one of the best breakfasts on the island. Lowlights: - Hours change: closes at 10pm so no longer late night breakfast service. Everything holds true from my original review below--gotta love the won't disappoint me consistency.

    The portions are huge and then it comes with pancakes! I had the spinach, bacon, and cheese omelet with pancakes. And I couldn't finish it all but it was sooooo good. The omelet was cooked perfectly and the cheese, spinach and bacon were cooked perfectly. The pancakes were mediocre compared to Cinnamon's. The wait was at least an hour...it's a touristy place, but it's a must try. FYI, military gets discount.

    Need a place to eat for breakfast in Waikiki, Hawaii?! Eggs n' Things is the perfect place! The menu is straight forward and simple. The prices are reasonable and the quality is excellent. I usually order Spam and Eggs, but this time around I went with the Cornbeef Hash and eggs. The only disappointment with this order was that it was not fresh. The cornbeef hash was from a can =(. surprisingly, my order did taste really good! The banana and chocolate chip pancakes were really soft, but make sure you eat them as soon as they arrive at your table. If you let them sit around, they loose their freshness and softness. The biggest CON for this place is that the WAIT TIME is ridiculous! Like 45 minute RIDiculous! lol Make sure to get there when they open! I'm sure there are other places to eat breakfast in Waikiki, but 'Eggs n' Things' is a must for a first time experience.

    So what's the big deal? The long wait and a bunch of eggs? I have no idea! I thought that the mac pancakes might be good, but there was no sauce just mac nuts sprinkled on top of the pancakes. I ordered an omelet with spinach and bacon -yep, it was an omelet alright with yep, spinach and bacon. I could have cooked this at my timeshare than spend 40 minutes waiting for this meal. What it comes down to it, there is nothing special, not craving to go back again even though I'm a huge egg lover. Nothing stood out for me. I gave it a 3 star because the service was good and they had 3 different sauces on the table for your pancakes.

    At first it seemed pricey and I didn't like waiting twenty minutes. But it was a beautiful morning so my fiancé and I sat downstairs and enjoyed the weather. The service was quick when we were seated and the food ended up being great. I had the omelette of the day and my fiancé had the strawberry crepes. It was ALOT of food. I finished my omelette and half of the side of pancakes that came with it. My fiancé could only eat a third of her dish as it was HUGE. I gladly helped and very much enjoyed the strawberry crepes. When it was all said and done, two pancakes and a crepe and a half remained on the table. I highly recommend this place. Be prepared to spend, including tip, $30-40 for breakfast for two.

    I really was looking forward to going here when I was visiting my friend. I'm so glad I did. The wait was long (it's a teeny tiny place about 15 tables) but definitely worth it. I had the fried rice and my son had the macadamia nut pancakes. We barely finished our plates they give you more than enough food, which is cool b/c the prices are reasonable. I can't wait to go again but maybe I'll try to go in the evening this go around.

    New location is bigger, but the fact that the Waikiki trolley stops here and drops of groves of Japanese tourists is kinda of a turnoff because it just makes the wait times ridiculous! We tried to go for breakfast on a Fri morn...wait was an hour-plus! So we decided to hit it up for dinner and the wait time was more tolerable...15 min. We got seated at an outdoor table. Perfectly fine being that the nice evening air was perfect. Ordered the loco moco and the wife ordered the famous fried ahi steak. Both were so ono! Esp. the ahi! My wife raves about it to this day and wants to learns how to cook it like that. We had the pancake medley for dessert. Listen, anything with that crack syrup, I mean coconut syrup tastes good!

    Nice little breakfast place off the beaten path. Quick service. Food was delicious. Staff was friendly and helpful. Outdoor and indoor seating. Food was delicious . . . Corned beef hash was perfect. (Not big and chunky, like some restaurants try to make it their own . . . this was just as I had growing up, but with fresh herbs and spices.) My husband had the Hawaiian platter and loved it. Pancakes were yummy. Try the guava syrup! Scrambled eggs were nothing special, but the ham and cheese omelet was delicious! We were going to go back a second day in a week, but my kids wanted to try another spot, so we went to the Barefoot Beach Cafe (also good food, but all outdoor seating).

    Came here with the bf before a relaxing day on the beach. This was the only day we slept in and didn't wake up at dawn so we got there around 10ish so we only had to wait 5 mins during which we were browsing their cute little souvenir shop. It was a Wednesday in December. Or maybe we just got lucky. We got a table outside on the balcony on the 2nd floor. For drinks We ordered a plantation pineapple iced tea and an iced latte which were average-good. Then I proceeded to order a pineapple pork chop with eggs over easy and ungraded my pancake to a macadamia but pancake for abt $4 extra. The pork chops were great and tender and the sauce and pineapple was good. Eggs were cooked perfectly. The pancakes were AWESOME. A 4-5 stack of pancakes with macadamia nuts in every layer (I THINK they were baked right into the batter, didn't bother to check but that's how it felt and tasted) and a ton of macadamia nuts on top and some powder sugar. I tried eating it with coconut syrup and the Pineapple syrup. (dipped on the side bc i dont like to drench my pancakes soggy syrup) The PINEAPPLE SYRUP was a winner !! It's freshly Made daily and they don't even sell it in their downstairs store bc there are no preservatives. The coconut syrup was meh. I skipped on the maple syrup cos why would I waste the limited room in my tummy for maple when I can have DELICIOUS FRESH PINEAPPLE SYRUP instead ?! My bf ordered spam and eggs over easy and we also got an extra order of Vienna sausages on the side bc of all the rave reviews. And he upgraded his pancakes for the strawberry whipped cream ones. It is basically pancakes with a huge mountain of whipped cream On top sprinkled with macadamia nuts over the whipped cream and like 4 strawberries (not fresh ones but the soft kinds that were Pre-soaked in syrup). Personally I preferred my macadamia pancakes bc u get much more nuts. And his strawberries were nothing special and all that whipped cream Melting and drenching the pancakes didn't appeal to me. All the food came out all at once and when we finished eating the savory parts of Our meal the pancakes were room temperature. Although they were still good if I could have done it again I would have asked of the pancakes could be brought out after. Our server Harold was really great too. When he brought out our food he said " U know, this is the best order I've taken in a while. Today is slow but sometimes people wait an hour for a table and then just order stuff that comes from the mainland,or boring stuff like a mushroom omelette" Then he proceeded to give us tons of suggestions for other places to check out for good local legit eats. great food, great service, but a bit pricey! $50+for (a big) breakfast for two lol.

    Came here because of all the Yelpers. We were warned by concierge that we would wait, even though it was 10a. Family said it was ok to linger (vacation mode), so we went forewarned. Ended up with 45 min wait. Even with that time, too many possibilities to choose from. The waiter was slightly ticked we weren't ready to order as soon as we sat down. Ended up with the port. Sausage & eggs & Mac nut pancakes. Other order was strawberry crepe with side of potatoes. Food was delicious, finished off entire large serving. Crepes were good, but I enjoyed pancakes more. Sausage great, too. Overall a great experience, because we weren't in a hurry to be anywhere. Although I got the feeling the wait staff didn't like our dilly-dallying before or after meal.

  • Diane V.

    Ahhh it's so much more than just "eggs 'n things". Where else can you get guava syrup on your fluffy pancakes?! That's one of the many things I miss about this breakfast place. Almost everything is good here, and the reason I say almost is only because I haven't tried EVERY thing. Corned beef hash is not too salty, just right! The strawberry and banana crepes are also one of my favorites. But besides the pancakes with guava syrup, I love getting the Portuguese sausages, bacon and eggs that go along with it...YUM. Expect a wait though, at least an hour..its that good. When you see locals frequent this place you know its one you have to try, especially as a visitor.

  • Atguru A.

    If you like breakfast food, you just have to check out this place! Eggs and Things is and was this best breakfast place I found on the entire Island! The pancakes are crazy good - love the whip cream and strawberries pancakes! From traditional eggs and sausage to fresh juices, I have no complaints with food! However,the service is questionable... This is a very small restaurant in one of the popular tourist city in the entire world, and no real choices for breakfast, this place gets alot of customers. Bottomline - very long waits! The Wait Staff seems to mostly friendly, but some of the employees are not as "friendly" as the others. You may end up waiting upwards 45 minutes to an 1 hour! Finally - bring your money... Lots of money!! Breakfast for 4 (with juice) is $60 plus! But to be fair, everything in Waikiki is expensive.

  • T L.

    After a 45 min to an hour wait we were seated upstairs and ready to order. We ordered the spinach and bacon omelet w/potatoes and the macadamia nut pancakes. Everything that we ordered was good but not 1hour good. Also the service was sketchy, after we ordered they didn't seem to want to check on people. You have to flag them down or they won't come by. We saw a table next to us that ate their pancakes without syrup. Now that's bad! If you have time and want a decent breakfast you might enjoy this place. Otherwise look elsewhere.

  • Patrick S.

    I like their food better here than the one facing the beach that although they call it an "Eggspress" is nothing speedy whatsoever. Great pancakes and syrups here, solid egg dishes. Personally I would get here early and avoid the line if at all possible. If I'm in paradise I don't think I'm willing to wait in an hour long line when there's so many other things to do.

  • Sal C.

    Service was good, only waited 15 mins because we arrived at 7:45am. If you are hungry and want something good for breakfast order the Moco Loco Hawaiian very good and delicious. It's a bowl with white rice, a burger patty, and a fried egg on the top along with some gravy. The best in Waikiki!!!

  • Emilio D.

    A very very long wait for bad service and cold food for a party of two at 11:00AM on a Monday. The whole experience took two hours just for cold pancakes and a hard omelette. The wait for seating was about 1 hour after the host stated an "about twenty minutes wait." It seemed that there was one waiter to handle all patrons in the restaurant. When he would request help from the bus boys, there was always back talk that resulted in a wait time for anything to get accomplished. I only had a drink refill once while sitting there for over 30 minutes with an empty cup of water waiting for my food. Mind you, the family sitting next to me had placed an order about 5 minutes before I did and received their food after about 15 minutes of waiting. And they ordered much more food... The bus boys were ignorantly loud for the simplest of tasks such as placing cutlery on the table. Though it may not have been noticeable amongst a few other equally ignorantly loud tourist patrons. We ordered two sets of the "special of the day", portuguese sausage omelette with cheese, green onions, and tomatoes. Omelettes come with an upgradable choice of three pancakes. The pancakes were comparable in texture to plain bread. The "omelette" is simply scrambled eggs mixed with ingredients and a layer of beaten/fried egg over it. It is my understanding that omelettes typically have a fold and are basically a casing for all the ingredients, Not a mixture of egg/ingredients covered with another layer of egg. Additionally, the seating was awkward even more-so having been seated near the restroom and air conditioning AND in extremely close proximity to neighboring patrons. The setup had air conditioning blowing directly into our faces in an outdoorsy environment where birds freely flew in and swooped up a plethora of food scraps that littered the restaurant floor. Apparently it is a normal occurrence since the workers would watch the bird rather than scurry it out of the restaurant. I will never go back there by choice. For tourists interested in local eateries, save your money and just go to the Wailana Coffee House. I've heard that this place was amazing, price and quality wise, prior to their location change. Perhaps I'm comparing them to the pre-established hype, but I am certainly not impressed. Call me tacky but I could not bring myself to tip this restaurant for their lack of pretty much everything. The tourists seemed to have a good time though, most were Japanese... Maybe its because the workers knew we were local.

  • Big Baby D.

    Omlettes are done in a non-traditional manner that is still quite tasty, and my absolute favorite was the guava syrup and the coconut syrup. I'm not even a big fan of coconut, but I couldn't get enough of that syrup. Price is a bit steep for what you get, imo... but it was great breakfast food served without a heaping pile of rice on the plate. Can't beat that in Honolulu! Wait staff was prompt and friendly. Waiting to get in the restaurant is a given if you arrive mid morning so be prepared for that. 4 stars because of the price, but that's to be expected out there.

  • Jazeleene G.

    heard this place was good so finally decided to go and try. waited 45 minutes to get seated. then waited another 20 minutes for a waiter to come and take our order. we were lucky enough to get seated outside. the host guy ryan downstairs was hilarious. ordered portuguese sausage & eggs. bf ordered ribeye steak & eggs. we both upgraded to mac nut pancakes. supposedly they're the best on the island but we had boots & kimos earlier on our trip and those mac nut pancakes were pretty damn close to perfection. I didn't like the pancakes that much, they're okay. my bf's ordered a medium rare steak & he got his steak pretty much well done. my food was not that great... it's pretty much a tourist trap. never going here again!

  • ABBY A.

    Obama comes here. In fact, it's his favorite breakfast spot in Hawaii, which automatically makes it MY favorite breakfast spot in Hawaii. No, I take that back, their breakfast potatoes make them my favorite breakfast spot in Hawaii. Hands down the BEST breakfast taters we've ever had. And their Portuguese sausage breakfast makes them my favorite as well. Their macadamia pancakes are also a favorite of mine, but not without their coconut syrup. Mmm. We even went downstairs to their store and bought a bottle to take back to Cali. I don't say this much, but I'm excited to go back for more! And I'll be sure to come as early as we did, because boy did that place get packed fast! And remember, they will not seat you until your entire party is present. Enjoy!

  • Laine L.

    This is yet another overhyped Yelp place! While their menu items sound fun - "Macadamia nut pancakes", the actual food is little above IHOP quality. - The pancakes are really average and taste like prepackage or IHOP pancakes. I've had better pancakes at other breakfast places, and you can make better pancakes at home if you look for recipes online. - There are no nuts in the Macadamia nut pancakes, just a sprinkling of them on top of the whipped cream. Ditto for blueberry pancakes. - A side of Portugese Sausage costs $5 but comes with measely 4 slices of sausage. Are you serious? That's more than a dollar a bite! - Their bacon and spinach omelette was good though it does not outweigh the bad points. Couple the average food with OUTRAGEOUS wait times (at least an hour for two people), and you are really better off going elsewhere less hyped to eat.

    OK place for breakfast. However, if you don' t like pancakes or waffles, which I don't, you won't be really getting a good deal. Other than the pancakes or waffles, you really don't get anything special for breakfast, taste or serving size-wise. If you want an ordinary breakfast of eggs, breakfast meat, toast and/or rice, I would say you can get them at many other places in Hawaii in a lot more generous serving sizes. I probably won't be ever going back as a result.

    WARNING: It is jam packed with Japanese tourists so the wait will be at least an hour for breakfast. GOOD breakfasts.... not great. You can get breakfast just as good at countless other places in Waikiki for the same price, but a whole lot FASTER. BTW: New commercial is sooooooooooooooo annoying "BROKE DA MOUTH" come on guys!

    2.5 stars !!! Got here by 0715 and was seated in 30 minutes! Line started getting bigger and longer around 0800 ... The pancakes were fluffy ~ warm and tasty! The coconut and guava syrup was too~ sweet for my taste buds ... I sprinkled a lil maple syrup instead. I ordered the portuguese sausage and eggs ... it was stone COLD when I got it ... which made it taste IKKY ... try eating port. sausage cold ... it's not good at all ... you can taste all the fat and grease ... it was unpleasant! BUT - like I said ... the pancakes were warm and tasty! I have mixed feelings about this place ... I mean ... is it worth it to come and wait in line for OK pancakes? b/c the entree i ordered was not worth the wait! I guess it's up to you ... there's always a line here ... I saw it everyday as I drove/walked passed it ... Again, the pancake was fluffy and good!

    OMG what a lot of good food. No wonder there's always a line out front. Great Macadamia nut pancakes - try them with coconut syrup for a real Hawaiin treat. All four of us got out for less than $36 with tip. I can't believe my 13 year old son ate his entire stack of buttermilk pancakes and his sister's eggs. Teenagers. I took photos of the delicious plates before we devoured them.

    OVERRATED! THIS IS A TOURIST TRAP! We were lead to believe this place MUST have great breakfast since it was always crowded. We were wrong. Must of the crowd are Japanese tourists and a few other tourists who falls into the hype. So after waiting 1 hour for seating, we waited another 30 mins for the food. The coconut waffle I ordered was a mediocre flat waffle with coconut spinkles on top. Nothing better than anyone can make at home. Kids enjoyed Strawberry pancakes that was not any better than IHOP pancakes. We also had spinach and mushroom omelette that was tasteless. To end it, we paid close to $80 for a breakfast for 2 adults/2 kids. I expected fluffy, tasty waffles or pancakes with fruit cooked within the batter.There are many other places with better food for less...without the 1 hour wait. My credentials--I am well traveled and I eat out often. I wasted $80, so I you dont have to!!

  • Iffat B.

    I was so disappointed in this restaurant. Luckily, I went early, so there wasn't a long wait. The waiter seemed nice enough at first but he made me quite angry towards the end of my meal. I ordered the ahi tuna steak with eggs and a side of mac nut pancakes. They brought the steak and eggs on a large plate and the 3 huge pancakes on a small plate. Literally 1/4 of the pancakes were hanging off the side of the plate. I asked for a bigger plate for my pancakes and he basically told me they had no more!! Really?? I then asked for a small box for my leftover steak and eggs. They charge 25 cents for the box. At first I was mad about this, but later thought maybe it's a good idea since it reduces environmental waste. I put my eggs and steak in the box, took a napkin to wipe off the residue and transferred my pancakes onto this bigger plate. Honestly, I shouldn't have to do that. It totally ruined my whole meal. I really should have listened to Tomo and gone to Cream Pot. At least I would have gotten a free cup of coffee....

    I just got back to the SF Bay after a week long trip to Honolulu. Our last meal on the island was here at Eggs N Things. Let me start off with the service... Our server Eddie deserves 10 stars!!!!! He was so friendly, funny, fast, remembered everything we asked for. He didn't get the least bit pissy that our party of 11 wanted to split our checks 3 ways (keep in mind we were sitting at two separate tables so we had to point out who's meals were on who's checks). He honestly just had the best spirit of any server I have ever encountered. For whatever reason 6 out of 11 of us were craving pancakes. What the menu doesn't tell you is that one order consist of 5 really thick cakes about the size of a small plate. I ordered a pancake sampler plate which consisted of 3 pancakes.. which I still couldn't finish entirely on my own. We had so many left over pancakes!! I thought the pancakes were delicious especially drenched in coconut syrup! When we were checking out, Joshua was also very helpful. He was nice enough to honor a coupon that wasn't really valid to us because we weren't locals. I wish we would have come to eat here earlier in our trip. That way I could have made another visit or two to try out some of the other menu items.

    This place is not worth the fuss. My waitress was super slow, gave us an attitude an put her hands dangerously close to the food. It was the biggest turn off. The omlettes and potatoes are Denny's quality. Honestly, don't waste your money here.

  • jeannine s.

    Very much like the movies, the storied version of the original Egg 'n Things was ten times better than the sequel. Egg 'n Things - Episode 2 - eh, not so good. After waiting nearly an hour for a table, my party of three buzzed into action and eagerly leaped upstairs only to be squeezed into a very cramped table for two. That was just the beginning of our let down. You could barely fit three cups of coffee and two glasses of water, let alone three breakfast portions. So, I opted to go minimalist and skip my customary coffee order to save on scarce table space. Good thing I did, because as my friends who ordered brewed coffee found it barely palatable. I had a couple sips of the drip, just to confirm. My verdict, worse than Sanka and possibly as bad as the worst campfire brew you slurped. I found this surprising for a breakfast place, since coffee must be their most popular beverage. Note: if you bring in outside coffee, they order you to park it on their back shelf for your consumption later or toss it away before you're seated. Our three top ordered a few dishes to taste: smoked pork chop with eggs and buttermilk pancakes and crab cake benedict with coconut pancakes; and corned beef hash with potatoes and eggs. The pork chop was more like a ham with bone. Nothing remarkable about it or the pancakes, which were very fluffy and a generous serving, but dry. The crab cake benedict also was a surprising dud. I've never had anything quite like it before. The cake was like a "hash" of minced imitation crab and potatoes with a poached egg over a toasted English muffin and Hollandaise sauce. Nothing about it tasted like crab and nothing about it was delicious, quite disappointing since I probably would have ordered something else. My coconut pancakes didn't help either. I found these also dry and lacking the authentic coconut flavors the Wailana Cafe or Boots n Kimo's versions have. The corned beef hash probably would be the only dish I'd recommend out of the trio we ordered. There was lots of beef and potato. There was a good grilled look to it and the flavor is much punchier than some other versions I've had. But ultimately it was fairly standard and this dish alone wouldn't get me to make tracks back to Eggs 'n Things. The service otherwise is commendable despite the disappointing meals after a long wait. Finally, if you're a kama'aina, don't forget to show you're local id for a modest discount. After the drive, the battle for street parking and the long wait in like for mediocre food, you deserve the break! Note to owners: with a few small tweaks focusing on better food quality and better coffee, I think the sequel could make a revival, especially since Egg 'n Things - Episode 3 - is set for an opening at the Waikiki Circle soon.

    Not bad, not great. Huge disappointment however. This place was so hyped up in advertisements and reviews I was expecting so much more. My breakfast was so-so, but I'll concentrate on my Wife's for the review. She loves corned beef hash, and being as this place was supposed to be so great, she ordered it. Since we always share, I had my fill and was very disappointed. For the price I expected made from scratch. Instead of shredded corned beef and diced potatoes we were given a pile of what looks like canned hash. For the price of an actual brisket, we were given a 50 cent can of mush. Not worth your time given the myriad of better breakfast places so close by.

    I got the spinach bacon cheese omelette. The bacon was very salty to my preference but you can't complain with a lot of bacon. It wasn't bad but the place is small. There are a lot of Japanese Tourists that come here. The wait was not too long, but you must check in downstairs first and then go upstairs once your buzzer rings.

    While the food and service was good, this place is WAAAAY overhyped. My girlfriend and I endured a 45 minute wait because ten thousand Japanese tourists were ahead of us. When we finally got a table we ordered the Portuguese sausage omelet and the macadamia-nut pancakes. The omulet was watevers but the pancakes were tasty. I enjoyed using the guava and coconut syrup. I probably wouldn't wait another 45 min to come back...

    I heard the hype about Eggs 'N Things, but honestly, I wasn't all that impressed. Considering the drive and parking hassle to downtown, the incredibly long line out front, and the uber weird process of paying for my meal in advance of being seated at a table, it wasn't worth the effort to me. The food was okay, it wasn't amazing. There are plenty of other eateries downtown with far better quality and service. in comparison, think the food is FAR better at the Koa Pancake House. A lot of people rave about this place, I just didn't get it at all. To each his own.

    Touristy, located on a trolley line. Crowded, had to wait about 40 mins to get a scrunched up table next to the computer screen where you hear tap, tap, tap the whole time you're eating. Pancakes were microwaved and therefore rubbery and needed a knife to saw through even a single stack. Ceiling fans whirling cooled off the food before you had a chance to even try it. Not real maple syrup. Terrific service by a friendly experienced waitress. Great eggs. Not so great things.

  • Denny K.

    I ordered a ham/cheese/green onion/mushroom omelet while my wife ordered macadamia nut pancake, we were both disappointed. The omelet was partially warm and everything in it wad not cooked (mushrooms were still uncooked). The omelet had also this uneasy runny wetness that was definitely not the egg, i felt a little gross while eating it. The pancakes made it sound like the nuts were mixed in the mic but it's just their regular pancakes with nuts sprinkled on top. I would advise to go to ihop instead for this price.

    I haven't been to Egg's & Things in a while, probably around 10-15+ yrs actually. I remember it always being packed even back then. It was in a different location back then too, the Kalakuan Hotel, until they had a fire in the kitchen and closed down for a while then relocated. Fast forward to earlier today. We decided to head there around noon, we figured the crowds would've died down a bit at this time. We waited about 1/2 hour, not too bad I guess considering people wait over an hour to eat here. We sat out on the balcony which was much better since there is no A/C in there and the inside seating is stuffy. First thing we noticed on the menu was they no longer have buckwheat pancakes, ...pfft. We asked how the bran pancakes were and were told they're out of that...double pfft. We both ordered the steak and eggs with the buttermilk pancakes($10). My friend asked how much it would be to have it upgraded to banana pancakes instead, $2. Interesting that a regular order of banana pancakes is just $1 more than a regular order of buttermilk pancakes but to have banana included into pancakes that are smaller would be double the price...triple pfft. the steak was about a 6-7oz new york cut. The steak was good, the best part of the meal. It also came with 2 eggs. The pancakes were a disappointment though, weird how they were sorta fluffy but not moist, they were dry on the inside and somewhat flavorless. It's hard to describe but imagine them being fluffly but not being easily cut with a fork. I remember the pancakes at the old Eggs & Things and those were always great. I'd easily say those back then were the best on the island. We did ask the server if they have a different pancake recipe now and she confessed it is a new mix that's not as good...quadruple pfft. Breakfast overall, mediocre at best. I really don't think it's worth the wait and parking hassle. The price of pancakes seemed high ($6.25+) while the cost of the steak and eggs were reasonable so value-wise, it's a toss-up. I have a 4 pfft rule so won't be back, there just are much better breakfast places to be had on the island. . I guesss I'll have to let the memory of the old Egg's & Things be what lives on in my mind.

    Without a doubt, the BEST breakfast on Oahu. No ifs, ands or buts. Huge omelets, beautiful pancakes and waffles with tropical fillings and toppings, and great fish and eggs. Always a wait, so be prepared. The second Waikiki location should be opened in the fall (please hurry!). This is a must try while in Waikiki, and it'll fill you up for the day! FYI, the "discount" that was mentioned was not honored the day I was there, and the cashier had no information about it...

    The menu offered a variety of breakfast items, but since I was in Hawaii, I should try the Loco Moco. I got greedy and ordered a side of potatoes also. Brandon ordered the Corn Hash and Eggs, which came with buttermilk pancakes. The Loco Moco was okay. It's basically a beef patty, soaked in gravy, topped with an egg. The beef patty kind of reminded me of meat loaf or burger patties you got at lunch in middle school or high school. The potatoes were good! I like how it was well cooked with a slight peppery kick. Corn Hash & Eggs were good, but I think I came to the conclusion that I don't like beef in my breakfast. Buttermilk pancakes, however, were the best I've ever eaten. I couldn't stop picking at it. It's really soft and moist, but not too caky. I recommend coming here early and just going for the pancakes!

    I am astounded this place only has 3.5 stars. Maybe those sub-4 star people don't realize that this place has Guava and Coconut syrup on the table...? Or maybe I just need to get out more. Anyway, the wait for this place was about 20-30 minutes on a Tuesday morning but it was totally worth it. The view from the 2nd story restaurant was interesting enough to make me forget about the wait, and I still hadn't received a single plate of food. We each had an omelet cause pancakes came with the meal, and I would have paid $59.99 to upgrade my pancakes to mac-nut & coconut pancakes, but luckily I only had to pay $2.75. I recommend you do the same. Get the guava juice, get the coffee, get the upgrades, and get here early cause the wait out front is there for a reason.

    Long wait Food is okay Keep in mind they serve the food on paper plates and they use plastic utensils. They asked us to share a table,...No or end up at a little bar against a wall !! Won't be back.

    The wait in line is not really worth it, but maybe just to try once. Food is actually pretty good. And it's nice to get a seat out on the outdoor patio area.

    Folks, this is nothing special! It is not worth the wait or the price. They don't have any kind of view and there is no parking. Yet, the tourists from Asia seem to like it and take lots of pictures of their food. They must spend a lot of money on advertising to these tourists because they pull up by the bus load. Your time and money would be much better spent at the Original Pancake House in Honolulu or at Leonard's Bakery for malasadas! If you like large plates of average food with slow inaccurate service, this place is a winner!

    Who wouldn't want to meet the nicest people ever? Ken and Cheryl are so sweet! My friend tore his ACL a few days before the trip, and he has been using a wheel chair around the island. When we get to the restaurant, the wait was approximately 45 minutes for 4 people. However, due to my friend's circumstances, we Ken and Cheryl hooked it up with VIP service (seating inside where the cash register is). Ken has got to be the nicest server that we have ever met. He's funny and will always make you feel that you are making the right order-decision. We got the following: Pineapple french toast (OK), egg scramble with Portuguese sausage and onions (OK) + potatoes, veggie omelet (e.g., zucchini), and "Mac Nut"=aka macadamia nut pancakes! The mac nut pancakes were the BEST with coconut syrup. The veggie omelet was cheesy and complemented the veggies. When you go, definitely stick with the Mac Nut pancakes...they are brunch heaven! Before we left, Ken gave us many tips on places to hit up before we leave. He wrote it all down for us, and invited us back to the restaurant. Thanks, Ken!

    So... tried this place. Greasy and expensive in a nutshell. They use imitations maple syrup and deep fry their potatoes. The pancakes were unoriginal and boring. I liked that they gave you some tropical syrup choices, but I think ihop down the road may be tastier.

    It's really too bad...because it would've been 4 stars if it hadn't been for the terrible service. I don't really consider myself a hard to please customer. It's very rare that I tip under 20% because I know how much this job can suck..... -It started out ok. A friendly tall guy with long dreads patiently explained to my group of 3 that the wait would be 30 minutes. Our beeper-buzzer thing went off in about 15. Then things started taking a turn for the worse: 1.) We were shown to our tiny (2 top) table pressed against a wall. My 3rd chair was in the middle, and the back of my chair was pressed right against the table behind us. We wondered how they would get all our plates onto the table...but having had a few hostess gigs in my time I'm a firm believer in just shutting up and sitting where they put you. 2.)Our waitress came up to our table. She said nothing. She proceeded to stare us down. She put her pencil on her notepad and just looked at us with an expression that screamed, "WELL??!!". Well, what?! Seriously no, "hello" "hi"?? Nothing?? To break the silent staring/glaring match she and my bf were having, I proceeded to talk and prompt my bf's sister to place her order. 3.)We were then asked if we wanted to move to another table outside. We already had all our drinks, and were finally kind of settled into out tiny space that we declined. I suspect the real reason they wanted us to move was because they needed our shorter chairs for another table. 4.) Our food took about 25 minutes after ordering to come out. She put the plates down...then she RAN HER FINGER DOWN THE SIDE OF MY PLATE and said, "Oh, there's something on your plate." Gross. I think I was too shocked by what had just happened to put up a fight. 5.) I would've given her an effort point for refilling out coffee two or three times, except the last time, she dripped coffee into my tomato juice and then walked away like nothing happened. 6.) Halfway through the meal she unceremoniously dropped off our check...once again without really acknowledging our presence. I did enjoy the spinach & bacon omelet. My bf was pretty peeved at the quality of service, but every waiter has their off days??

    My husband and I had breakfast for the first time at your Ala Moana restaurant, this morning. We were there at approximately 8:45am. It was early so the restaurant was not busy. There were several empty tables. This restaurant was featured on the Morning News so we wanted to check it out. Much to my suprise, the food service was very slow, including coffee refills. The eggs in the omelette was hard and over cooked. The Macadamia pancakes was dry and firm! The pineapple syup tasted like over riped pineapples. On a scale of 1 - 10, I would rate your Eggs n Things a #1.. Disappointed Customer.

    Eggs 'n Things-- You're doing it wrong. Let's flash back seven years to my very first Eggs 'n Things visit at their original location. The omelettes were fat behemoths stuffed to the brim, and pancakes stacked high, the size of dinner plates. Everyone was friendly, and the restaurant was bright and cozy. What happened? We went on a late Saturday morning and managed to beat the crowds, waiting only fifteen minutes.. though it doesn't surprise me that people aren't going to wait long for mediocre food. Our seats had a nice view, but the tables were unbelievably sticky. So much so that you could see the ink and paper left behind on the table from when previous diners set down their newspapers.Service was prompt, but our waitress was obviously not enthused to be there. For our biggest disappointment of all the, the food was a shell of what it used to be. Flat omelettes (stay away from the "salsa"), eggs and sausage that were rolled in butter, and pancakes that were just okay. I wouldn't say that it was unpalatable -- the eggs were nicely done, but it's just sad to see a restaurant that we used to love let itself go.. Especially when you're paying a premium for their food, which barely competes with IHOP or Original Pancake House.

  • Cassandra E.

    If I was to ever go here again, it would be for the pancakes that come with coconut syrup, guava syrup or good old fashioned maple syrup. The omelets are okay. The fresh Hawaiian coffee.. delicious! Keep in mind, this place is not a good place for a diet or anyone with any diet restrictions.. that's for sure.

  • M C.

    After seeing a line outside the door every time I walked by the Waikiki location, we decided to give it a try. We had overpriced pancakes, omelette, and crepes. I don't see what the big deal is about this place. The crepes were plain with tons of sour cream and little pieces of pineapple. I left feeling very unsatisfied and felt even more upset that I spent $30 for a brunch that left me still hungry. It seemed very popular with Japanese tourists but you can get the same meal for less money and less wait at the local diner.

  • Heidi J.

    I stayed in Waikiki for 4 days and we ate here on 2 mornings. I tried to get something different every day and stuck to the 'N Things part of the menu since I'm allergic to eggs. They will substitute tofu for an extra price (but not the same price every day, oddly). The guava, and coconut syrup were amazing. We got the Ahi Steak & Eggs, Pineapple Whip Cream w/ Nuts Pancakes, Mac Nut Pancakes and a Tofu Veggie Scramble. I'd recommend them all! Prepare for a nice hot wait outside if you get here after 8am.

  • Todd R.

    I'm a huge fan of the Original Pancake House (no, not IHOP).... I grew up with the stuff. So, when I saw all the recommendations to try a great place for pancakes while in Waikiki, I decided to brave the long wait and see how the place stacked up. Pancakes were good, but for me, not worth the hype. Service was spotty, which i can give them a pass for because they were on island time... but our server was quite forgetful and confused at times. If you're on vacation for the first time, spend more time on the beach instead of waiting to get seated here. If you just have to have your pancake fix, it just might be worth it... but otherwise, wait to you get back to the mainland.

    YUM- O! The pancakes were light and fluffly, and they give you quite a bit. I am surprised to see that this restie wasn't as highly rated. We did wait a long time though (almost a whole hour) - and this is with a 7 month pregnant woman and a 20 month old toddler. The wait, was almost unbearable! But it was made up when the food came. Service was friendly and efficient. Our waitress counted how many pancakes our party of 7 was going to have (17! not including the 10 silver dollar pancakes for one of the kids), so she suggested one of us get potatoes or rice. I got the potatoes. It was a good suggestion - considering we still had pancakes left over to bring home at the end of the meal. I ordered the spinach, bacon and cheese omelet. That was filled with a lot of bacon and it was made well. Light and fluffy like the pancakes with the cheeses (cheddar and mozzarella) completely melted. My husband ordered the strawberry pancakes with whipped cream. That was delicious! My 20 month old son ate all his eggs and his one LARGE silver dollar pancake. They were 3 times the size of silver dollars. Everyone else had bacon and eggs or links and eggs and that wasn't memorable or forgettable. Just tasted pretty average. In the end of our 5 entrees, 1 kid's meal and 4 large orange juices, we paid about $101 and was able to take about 8 pancakes back to the hotel with us. This was definitely one of the better breakfasts I have had and it was worth the wait.

  • Christine N.

    Even with the crazy long wait, I still enjoyed every bit of my brunch. We had the Portuguese sausage, fried eggs, omelet, potatoes, and blueberry pancakes with whipped cream and macadamia nuts. And the iced coffee tastes very similar to Viet drip coffee, but not as strong. Mmmm.... The pancakes were super fluffy and I covered mine with a mix of guava and maple syrup. My 3 egg omelet was way better than Wailana Coffee House, fluffy with cheese perfectly oozing out. I'd recommend coming super early or late. I docked a star because I think the staff forgot to buzz our beeper, since several couples that came after us were seated waaay before us. They finally seated us after I told them that we waited almost an hour when they said the wait would be 30 min.

    Great breakfast place next to our hotel in Waikiki. Offers breakfast in a variety of ways: meat n' eggs, omelets, fruit crepes, pancakes, waffles, specials n' things, fruit n' things, drinks n' things, and sides. There's a theme there, I just know it. There are English and Japanese menus, although it didn't seem like anyone actually spoke Japanese at the restaurant. Most of the patrons looked Japanese and the tables were all taken. In the first line, a hostess waited with a tablet to take orders and issue beepers. In the second line, people were waiting for tables. We ordered our food to go, were given a beeper, and asked to wait in the lobby area. The strawberry crepe was good. The corn beef hash looked like it came from the grocery store. The sunny side up eggs were a little runny. The banana pancake came with guava, coconut, and regular syrup. All in all, I would recommend Eggs 'N Things if you are looking for a convenient breakfast spot.

  • Dennis C.

    Macadamia Pancakes are fluffy and delicious! Get 'em! The french toast was only okay. They used canned peaches in syrup rather than fresh ones. The Ahi Tuna Steak was overcooked for my taste. I prefer it very rare, but I wish they had asked. The eggs and portugese sausage was cooked perfectly. And you must get the papaya! It comes with a lemon wedge that brings the fruit to an entirely new level! The service is great and the staff were so friendly. My favorites were the rastafarian Japanese guy in dreadlocks who sings, and the gray-haired hazel eyed lady upstairs waiting on the tables. What a sweet lady! Quick Tips: Do not sit between the air conditioner and bathroom...you will freeze. AND don't bring in outside coffee or drinks. They'll make you leave it at the counter.

    Ok, I know all the hot spots in Hawaii, and this is one of them! They won't seat you til your entire party is there, so DON'T invite that one lame friend that is always late!! Very small place, but there's constant turnover, so just be patient... It's worth it! There is constantly a line a mile long out front (both locals and tourists)!! We had loco moco (Hawaiian style) and macadamia nut pancakes!! Both were AMAZING!! Super busy so don't expect LOTS of attention, but "auntie" that served us was great!! Outdoor seating is nice!

    I guess I'm just not a fan of breakfast. I had the sausage and the scramble egg and it was just ok. My boo had the pancake and that was huge and I didn't like pancake anyway so yeh not much to say about that. However the wait was really long. We were there for breakfast and we waited for over 30mins to be seated. It was pretty cool that you can also sit by the balcony to look at the street. It is a pretty small place though. Even if I was in town I probably wouldn't come back due to the long wait. It's not worth the wait for me...

    09.01.13 with 4 others like other reviews long wait for this location, where lots of tourists must go. eh its not all that. ordered the mac nut pancakes and fruits for all to share. I ordered the crab cake egg Benedict which was good, other than the fact that you cant taste the crab. another order was the loco moco, and an omelette which was only okay nothing was amazing, OH but there was a dead fly in my water (ice cube) GROSS!

    I have been loyal customer for over 30 years--followed them through their location changes, waited patiently in line just to enjoy the most delicious pancakes this side of the western hemisphere. Until now...never, ever had I experienced such blatant disrespect from a maitre-d and manager of a much sought after eatery...but, i get it. Locals or people who look like locals..just your average joe's don't mean sh-t to this place anymore. Who cares if I inquired more than twice about the status of our table when I noticed that newer groups of 4 were being called way before us. I'm sorry, but, after an hour and 45 minute wait and watching 3 other parties finishing their meals who entered their names long after us...we vented to the manager. He had no apology and definitely no inclination to appease our frustration...is it possible he's family? Who cares? The wait is no longer worth it. I'm over it.

    We HAD to try some macadamia nut pancakes while on the island. Eggs 'n' Things was on the next block from our hotel--a must! Seemed a little small, so I wouldn't take a big group here or a lot of children since it gets cramped. There usually is a long wait and crowds of people standing outside waiting to be seated. It was recommended that if you come here for breakfast, and you don't want to wait, the best time is before 7:30a or after 10:30a. Which worked well for us since we still on CA time. We were seated right away on the 2nd floor balcony and were lucky to catch a glimpse of a rainbow after some morning showers. The service was fast and friendly. Our server was a spunky older woman that reminded me of an auntie who called me "babygirl" the whole time. Ordered the corned beef hash (medium or crispy) with eggs and mac nut pancakes. The best part about pancakes in Hawaii is that most places serve them with guava, coconut, or maple syrup. I opted for a combo of guava and coconut--yum. Coffee was great too! They also sell their syrups, pancake mix, t-shirts, umbrellas, etc. downstairs. So, I had to take home guava and coconut syrup and make my own mac nut pancakes, which were good, but not quite the same :( We'll definitely return again.

  • Nicole H.

    Okay, so we came to Eggs n Things on our Hawaiian vacation because friends had recommended it. We also heard that they tout their pancakes as the best in Hawaii, so we had to try that. We only waited about 20 min, after being told 45, so that was a bonus. We got seated inside, and here is where the problems started. Our first server, a guy, took our drink orders without writing any of them down. There was six of us at the table. Then he proceeded to come back twice to confirm our order for drinks, then still brought two of the people at the table the wrong drink. Sigh. Wouldnt it be easier to write them down? The second server we had was a gal. She was nice and all, but she seemed confused and didn't know the menu that well. Our kids wanted to order the silver dollar pancakes, but they wanted chocolate chip instead of regular. She acted all strange, like we were putting them out by asking, and went to check. She allowed us to order that with a 1.50 upcharge. It was as if kids had never requested chocolate chip pancakes before- Odd. When they came they were regular size, not silver dollar. I ordered the blueberry, and my husband got the macadamia nut. Again, we were expecting to be blown away by the pancakes. Sadly, that was not the case. The blueberry seemed to have very little blueberry, if any, actually mixed in the batter. It just had blueberries dumped on top. Same with the macadamia nut. Hello?? I could do that at home, just dump them on top. I was definitely expecting them to be mixed in the batter, as well as on top. They were also dry. No matter how much syrup we added, it still felt really dry to eat them. Not fluffy and light at all. The potatoes were good, my Mom loved her crepes. So, overall, an OK place. I just wouldn't wait up to an hour, as I have heard it gets busy. I am glad I only waited 20 min.

  • Charli T.

    The plus about the food was that they were rather light and never too greasy. Other than that... they were lackluster... And cannot justify being about $12 a plate. The fruits on the pancake was not fresh at all, the syrup was nothing special, the eggs was pretty rubbery, and the bacon in it were dry as chips. I don't think there was enough effort done to the breakfast items this breakfast restaurant had to warrant such expensive prices. I want to claim that the items I chose were at fault but they were the recommended items in the menu. (Spinach, bacon, and cheese omelette and the strawberry, whip cream and nuts pancakes) If you have eaten real great pancakes and omelettes from fine places, this place will disappoint you. I can name at least 7 other breakfast places that have better tasting items that are comparable. Three being fast food restaurants. The worst, which other reviewers claims also, is how they took my plate before I was done. That bussing was the nut low of any services I've ever received in any restaurant. The fast flow of the services also makes you feel like you're there to just give them money. Save your money and temper and leave this place for the tourists.

    This place can get pretty busy in the morning so for breakfast we decided to get up early and opt for take out. Breakfast on Sundays is a treat and you cannot go wrong at this joint. Their are instructions on the check in process. For take out the process was quite easy as well. We ordered for take out blueberry waffles (but we actually got banana waffles), eggs Benedict with Hollandaise sauce on the side (egg cooked medium), turkey bacon and scrambled eggs with potatoes, buttermilk pancakes, and side order of english muffin with butter. Everything tasted yummy. Even though the order was wrong with the waffles - the waffles had powdered sugar and sliced bananas on top - which was still tasty. The waffle was not thick (it was on the thinner side which we prefer). The eggs and potatoes were cooked just right. The turkey bacon can be ordered extra crispy which we did and it was super crispy which I enjoy and it was not salty at well. They gave us lots of various syrups (maple, strawberry, coconut) and condiments (shoyu, tabasco, jam, etc.). There was no excess oils on the foods and it was still hot by the time we got home. The person who assisted us was helpful. Overall a great take out experience :)

    The first meal there was great. I got the Portugese sausage and egg dish. It comes with some freshmade salsa which was good, but didn't particularly float my boat. Four nice big pieces of portugese sausage. And I desperately wanted to get some crepes, but the dish comes with THREE pancakes. It was a HUGE meal. And I can eat a lot too. So no crepes this time, darnit. I got iced tea. And they give you some sugar water with it which I thought was nice. At the end of my meal the server refilled my iced tea. It was a little funny cuz she brought it back as I got up to leave...so she offered it for takeaway. I accepted and I had a nice cold beverage to sip on as I walked back to my hotel. 2nd trip back: So my server yesterday was okay. Again not rude at all, but just friendly enough. This trip I had Aaron. He was a great server! Here is one reason: as your food is brought out I heard him explain to EVERY table that the three syrups already on the table are maple, guava, and coconut. I didn't get that yesterday. I found him to be more detail oriented, and I like that. Here is another example. I was determined to get the crepes today. But I wanted something something else too. So I ordered a la carte 2 scrambled eggs and a side of Portugese sausage. He immediately pointed out that instead of a la carting those last two items, if I got the eggs+port.sausage meal, then it would come with one of the following: rice, pancakes, or potatoes, AND it would cost less too!! Very, very nice help Aaron!! Amd finally, I got a ginger ale to start, but found during my meal that I needed something with more bite, something with some caffiene, so I ordered a coke. I suspected that I would get charged for a brand new drink, but I didn't care - that's how badly I needed a coke! But to my surprise Aaron said he would only charge me for a refill!!(which costs a lot less, comparatively). 4 stars for first meal. 5 stars for second meal cuz of Aaron's superb service. Averaged to 4.5, so round up to 5 :)

    Delicious breakfast place located in the heart of Waikiki! During our visit we ate at Eggs N Things on multiple occasions and were impressed every time. The pineapple whipped cream pancakes are amazing, as are the coffees and fresh juices, especially the POG (Pineapple, Orange, Guava). We also enjoyed the eggs and Portuguese sausage and omelets. Come early, as the lines can be long with tourists. We grabbed some coffees and checked out the store - definitely worth the wait! You won't leave hungry.

    I loved how we were able to get seating pretty fast on a busy night. I was starting to get hungry and a little frustrated at all the wait time for dining @ several other restaurants. But the food came out decently fast and the service was ok. I ordered the scrambled eggs w/ pancakes and a half a papaya. The price is pretty cheap for Waikiki standard. They have coconut syrup! That was pretty interesting. Overall, good place for cheap fast food w/ sit down style. Loved the seats next to the open window right by the ocean, so relaxing.

    While perusing other travel sites (namely Travel Advisor) preparing for our honeymoon to Oahu I came across a poster who recommended this nifty little spot and I can't thank that anonymous poster enough. It was great, it was so much so that on our seven day stay in Waikiki this was the only establishment we visited twice! It was just a short walk from our hotel, Sheraton Waikiki, and every step was worth it. If you are a fan of the mom and pop shops, this is for you, if you expect Denny's or ihop or some chained restaurant that your accustomed to in the mainland then you may just want to stay at your hotel and hit the breakfast buffet. From our experience, take advantage of jet lag and get their early, it seems even the foreign visitors are in the know about this place. It was very impressive to see an African-American host that was speaking fluent Japanese explaining to the throng of Japanese tourist that are also eager to try the place. So the wait can be long at times if you happen to catch it on the wrong time in the morning but well worth your time. I'm by no means a self proclaimed foodie but my taste buds aren't exactly limited to sweet, sour, and bland - the food was great. For the visits I tried the two versions of Loco Moco and it was very fulfilling. The difference from one version is one of them comes with sautéed onions and mushrooms (Hawaiian) while the other is a standard one. Regardless, both of them did a masterful job of letting me enjoy my breakfast taste buds. The wife ordered Spam and Eggs both times with a side of Portuguese sausage which she practically inhaled both times. The prices were reasonable and the service was top notch. This is a definitely a priority when we come back to Oahu.

    Eggs 'n Things is a popular place. When you decide this is what you'd like for breakfast, go before you're feeling hungry so that by the time you're called, you're ready to eat. The food is delicious, the portions are large, and the wait, while long, is worthwhile. If you are traveling with a stroller, be warned. You will need to check it with the host. The restaurant seating is actually upstairs (I did not realize this initially) and you can't take it with you because space is at a premium. Another word of advice for those of you with kids--your kids can probably share your meal--just ask for an extra plate, because the portions are large and there will be more than enough for everyone. That said, we ordered the Strawberry Whip pancakes, the Chocolate Chip Pancakes and the Eggs 'n Meat (one pancake, eggs, bacon). The food was great-- and we really loved the coconut syrup. My son liked pouring the coconut syrup on his chocolate chip pancakes and making "Almond Joy-like pancakes". There are a variety of fresh juices to choose from, and the specials looked good on the tables of others. Our table was REALLY small, so there wasn't a lot of room for our food-and as I mentioned earlier--the quarters are close. The bus staff and hosts/hostesses did a great job of checking in, keeping coffees warm and giving great Aloha spirited service. The only complaint came from my husband at the end, who grumbled that $50 for breakfast seemed like a lot to him.... Of course, fresh ingredients aren't free on an island--especially the island of Oahu--and neither is great service. Overall, we loved it and are glad we went.

    This place is all hyped up, but does not deliver the quality we thought they would live up to. The prices were about what we'd expect for a restaurant in Waikiki, but we felt we spent way too much money for what we got. Let's start off with the coffee cause this is what we had first. It tasted like dirt & it had a weird aftertaste that refused to go away several hours later. Their omlette was decent, but nothing out of the ordinary that we couldn't make at home ourselves...unless you're a tourist staying in a hotel without a kitchen & can't cook during your short vacation. One omlette was mushroom spinach & the other was tomato cheese (we had mozarella, though there are other choices). Omlettes came with choice of pancakes, rice, or potatoes. We went for the pancakes, which we believe were buttermilk. They were just meh. We could taste powdered sugar inside, but it didn't make it taste any better. There were 3 choices of syrup (coconut, guava, & "maple"). Maple syrup was probably not maple at all, but corn syrup or a blend of both. What was actually good was the macadamia nut waffle. It was crispy golden brown & so tasty that it didn't need any powdered sugar or syrup. The downside was that the waffle was too thin, which made it very expensive for its price. Overall we don't understand why hoardes of people wait outside to eat here. This is another example of putting one's energy into successful advertising rather than focusing on the quality of the food itself.

    The staff were extremely slow and the system for ordering is incredibly backwards and inefficient. The wait was long and the fruit cup we ordered was nothing special and the pancakes were chewy and served with enough cream that they would make a better desert than breakfast. If you were looking to share the pancakes between two then the price might warrant a trip to Eggs n Things bit as experienced I would not go back. The foot is not worth the wait. Go to the Hula Grill instead and get the beautiful ocean views in a nice atmosphere with nice food to start your morning.

    macadamia pineapple pancake topped with strawberries and a guava coconut syrup?? this is by far the best tasting fluffy pancake i've ever had. then wash that down with a glass of fresh pineapple juice. :) i'm a happy girl! the waits are long but the host puts on a good show every 10 mins or so. my husband ordered a omlette.. it was just ok..nothing spectacular. but to be fair, who orders a omlette when you can get a macadamia pineapple strawberry pancake?! enough said!

  • James M.

    Very happy with this place, and wished we'd found it before the second to last day of our trip. The wait was about 30 minutes for 2 on a Saturday, mid day, which makes sense. I had an Arnie Palmerish type of drink there, with iced tea and pineapple juice. Who would think something so simple would taste so good. Please get it. Also loved the Macadamia nut pancakes, with the coconut syrup--amazing. The portuguese sausage and eggs was also very good, but the pancakes were ridiculously good. Try to get one of the bar setup seats that look out on the street, instead of indoors. Really great breakfast joint.

    You would think that if a place has tons of people waiting outside, it must be a pretty good spot to eat. Wrong! This place is a tourist trap and even though I went in with pretty low expectations after reading reviews on Yelp, I was still disappointed. We got there at 8am and wait time was about 45 minutes. The food portions were pretty generous and the price was decent but the taste was just so underwhelming. It's so average that you're better off going to Denny's and getting the exactly same quality for $1-2 less, WITHOUT the 45 min. wait. Service is friendly though but I'm sure if it wasn't so crowded, this place would be a three. But nothing really stands out to make me want to choose this place over any other brunch place.

    We went to the wrong location, waited over an hour to be seated, and still came back for more. Be prepared to wait. They give you a pager, so you can enjoy the nearby businesses (a few stores, the post office, and a coffee shop) while you wait. Or you can sit on a bench and stare, if that's your cup of tea. The eggs are pretty standard, but the pineapple pancakes were out of this world. The guava syrup was worth a try, but for me it was all about the coconut. I think they're moving to a more centralized location along Waikiki...I imagine the wait time will only increase.

  • Chau T.

    Mediocre food for such a long wait and huge hype. So anticipate waiting in line just like everyone has mentioned on yelp. Everyone raves so much about this place, and I can honestly see only one reason why.....their pancakes and homemade syrup. That's pretty much it. We got there pretty early in the morning and surprise, surprise there was a super long line of hungry customers already. After an hour of people watching and reading through every item on the menu, we were seated in a very busy and loud restaurant. Our waitress came by rather quickly to take our order which was the potato, bacon and cheese omelet, the minced Portuguese sausage w/ green onions & scrambled eggs dish, strawberries w/ whipped cream pancakes, and the macadamia nut pancakes. Omelet - meh Portuguese sausage w/ eggs mix - meh Strawberries w/ whipped cream - very fresh and delightful, one star Macadamia nut pancake - the best item on the menu, the 2nd star The coconut and guava syrups were very unique. They're a little too sweet for my liking. I only used it as a dipping sauce instead of smothering it all over those fluffy and warm pancakes. It would be a shame to drench those marvelous creations with sugar! I think my other half would agree that the next time we're in Waikiki, we're going to skip Eggs 'N Things. The only way they could persuade me to come back is if they showed pictures of those yummy pancakes over and over again on our five hour flight!

  • Haylee Z.

    Absolutely yummy and so much food! We were trying to find something close to our hotel that served good food, bigger portions and cheaper..this was the place! The only downside to it is they did not really tell us what was going on. We went to get a seat and the guy downstairs had to call up stairs and then we just waited. We got seated pretty fast, but we were also there at about 6:45am. Our food was delicious! Their pineapple whip pancakes are to die for along with their Guava syrup. Yumm!! We will be back before we leave!

  • Jennifer K.

    Eggs 'N Things completely exceeded my expectations! Mac nut pancakes with coconut syrup were amazing. I got the Portuguese sausage and eggs with a side of the pancakes and the portions were just generous. Honestly, we'll probably come back here again during the week we're here!

  • Traci K.

    Went here three times already. My third time, I tried there strawberry belgian waffles. I expected the belgian waffle to be thicker, but it came out THIN. Worst yet, it was hella pricey just for that. Although, the strawberries on it was good. The corned beef hash is good. Also, the plantation iced tea is not worth it....tasted awful. I guess I was expecting it to be like some other places. This place is always busy no matter what time. I would still go to this place ha ha

  • Jen S.

    Wow, I cannot believe that tourists and some locals fall for this place. The food is definitely not the worth the price they charge. Their hotcakes where chewy and slightly dry. The Loco Moco sauce is made from instant gravy. Their egg omelette that my friend tried tasted of pasteurized processed cheese and margarine. The egg itself was so thin, we suspected it might be fake egg beaters? The atmosphere is cramped, cramped, and more cramped. When it gets really busy they try to fit three on a tiny two seater, and then they will fit just two on an uncomfortable counter overlooking the street where birds fly in and out as soon as a plate is left unattended. A definite sanitation issue. The noise from the loud buses and trolley's are also very annoying. The most shocking experience is when we went up to pay at the register. Can you believe that the clerk actually told us what the tip should be and if I were going to give it to her or just leave it on the table. Yowzers! Locals, please avoid. Tourists, find someplace where you don't have to spend 45 minutes waiting for a cramped seat, getting subpar food and then dealing with a presumptiousclerk? Find a relaxing place where you can enjoy the views and not hear the hustle and bustle of busy Waikiki. At the Hale Koa hotel close by you can get a decent breakfast at the outside cafe for about half the cost and still enjoy beautiful and quiet views.

    Not worth it! There is always a LONG ass wait for average breakfast food. Nice ambiance BUT the orange juice did not taste fresh squeezed and the meat and vegi omelets were just ok. Go a few blocks down and on the beach to Shore Birds and you will experience no wait, better food and amazing view!

    (2)

  • Tania M.

    My husband got the ahi steak and eggs with rice, I got a turkey bacon, tomato and Monterey Jack omelet with a side of pancakes! Both were amazing! Loved the coconut syrup! The staff was super friendly and the long line moved quickly!

  • Alana H.

    "Ummm babygirl you hungry! Good job" that's what the waitress told me after we placed our orders for breakfast. We had to endure a 45 minute wait during which we read the instructions found in the menu on how we should wait. When we were finally seated we both ordered the Eggs with portugese sausage and macadamian pancakes for him and blueberry pancakes for me. I had never had Portuguese sausage before but it was very tasty and my scrambled eggs were light and fluffy. Besides our overall wait to be seated we didn't have to wait too long for our food. The people were nice, the food was great, I am a happy girl.

    On certain days, expect long waits. Advice, be there early before the pack of wolves arrive. Pros: - nice location - great friendly service - nice decor and outdoor environment - nice big portions Cons: - no parking - long waits to get table and food Try: - special Omellete of the day (waiter's recommendation; spot on) - banana pancakes (choice of maple, strawberry, coconut or all three) A bit pricier than local competitors. If you have time, go to Eggs 'n Things. If you are short on time, try Coffee house across the park! Enjoy!

    wow! this place was unbelievable! friendlies staff you'll ever meet & tastiest food / pancakes you'll ever have! visited this place twice during our 5-day vacation in honolulu hawaii. althought the wait was a bit long, but trust me, it's worth it! i ordered the furikake-macadamia nut ahi tuna steak w/ potato salad & macadamia nut pancakes. the tuna steak smelled sooooo good & so well seasoned not to mention the freshest made pancakes complimented w/ macadamia nut and taste amazing with the coconut syrup on top. nom nom nom! will definitely visit again when we're in hawaii.

    I miss the old place on Kalakaua Avenue and the opening at midnite to noon hours, but this is about as good as it gets on the islands. Excellent eggs Benedict, crispy and good bacon, meaty sausages, omelets made to order and servers who are friendly, caring and efficient. The waffles are crisp, hot and served with warm syrup and a lot of warm butter. The loco moco is a guaranteed hangover cure, as good as it gets for breakfast on Oahu. In my opinion, there are only two places that deserve a trip to go to for breakfast. Eggs 'N Things is one, Al's Breakfast in Minneapolis is the other. Proud to say I have eaten many a meal at Eggs 'N Things and always send my Haolie friends there when they are being a tourist.

  • Charlie R.

    Good spot for breakfast in Waikiki. We got there about 7:45 and waited maybe 20 min? Scrambled eggs mixed with peppers and portuguese sausage was awesome! Remember to check in first at street level to get on the wait list, get coffee or tea while you wait and then head upstairs once your buzzer thing buzzes. For the amount of food you get, prices are not bad. Service was solid. I'll be back.

  • Ellen Mae V.

    Eh... I don't think the 30 or 45 minute wait is worth it. The pancakes are really fluffy and pretty tasty. They hit the spot in regards to that severe pancake craving. But the other choices are pretty common. They seem like stuff you can find at other locations or even make at home. It's a good breakfast place but still.... not special enough to warrant a 30 minute wait.

    We vowed to go twice during our trip but the parking dissuaded us from doing so. After circling for 30 minutes and finding absolutely nothing, we eventually parked at the post office and prayed we wouldn't get towed (which we didn't). On Thanksgiving we had a wait of 20 minutes which wasn't too bad. The macadamia nut pancakes were to DIE FOR. The guava syrup was delicious, I was in pancake heaven. We also got omelets which were pretty tasty too. I'm a pancake fanatic though, and would definitely say that was their strong suit. Walk if you can, and order those pancakes. You won't regret it!

  • Lele M.

    The breakfast is amazing! The banana pancakes are the most delicous thing you may ever put in your mouth. What sucks is the fact it is a seriously long wait unless you are local , know somebody, or "smoke" with the "natural store" owner downstairs and he gets you in.

  • First Name L.

    It was OK. This is a good and fast breakfast spot... oh... I went there at 1:30pm, so I didn't see a line. We were seated right away and had our first cup of coffee in seconds. Upbeat and adequate service. It was clean and had a decent view. We ordered - -Crepes with blueberries - this was pretty good, but after 3 of them, you're all creped out. -Eggs, bacon, potatoes - crispy on the outside and soft on the inside potatoes, bacon wasn't anything special. -Macadamia pancakes - basically fluffy buttermilk pancakes with macadamia nuts, it was good. -Coffee - was light and nutty It's not the great restaurant everyone describes but I'm not saying it's horrible. Also consider that I was STARVING when I came here, so I should have been easy to please. If you're willing to walk, you can usually find a space in Waikiki. If not, there's a lot next to the post office but it cost us $4 for 40 minutes, not exactly cheap but whatever we were hungry.

    I thought the food tasted great but since I'm a "salty" person vs. a "sweet" person I don't think I would wait an hour again just to get Portuguese Sausage, Egg & Rice or a Savory Omelette. Although I did have a bite of my friend's Banana Pancake and thought it was good. If the wait to get seated was shorter maybe I would have given it a higher rating. Overall a great spot for breakfast but beware of the wait list. I was quoted a 20 minute wait which ended up being about 45 minutes.

    this restaurant Egg & Things is the ultimate hype and not good at all. the food is at best mediocre - they use bad quality oil and low quality ingredients. the service is also pretty poor. i would not recommend this location at all. you are better off not wasting waiting for 30min and just going to the kimono coffee shop and having a sandwich with their coffee...

  • Dennis C.

    I'm not sure what it is about this place that keep people waiting in 1+ hr lines here. I can comment that their market to the Japanese tourists is 110% solid. I would guess that 90% of crowd were Japanese tourists. For me, breakfast is a little hard to mess up -- and difficult to impress. There's got to be some special factor that takes an establishment up a notch--a secret technique for perfectly crisp bacon, some special sauce combo that's unique--you get the idea. Maybe it was my expectation, but after all I'd heard about the mac pancakes, I was expecting... I guess more. That was what we'd ordered, but the server had forgotten about the mac, so he brought some out in a small container -- wait, what?!!? It's not cooked into the pancakes? To my disappointment, that's not how most places cook it. Even the pineapple pancakes. So highly disappointing. I also got the Portugese sausages which were good, but it was not a large portion. We got a counter seat that overlooked the street, in a little patio area -- that fact that it was Hawaii *almost* made the wait worth it. And the fresh juices are worth trying as well.

  • Anh W.

    Warning---long wait. Be patient. Other than that, this place was awesome. I ordered the Portuguese sausage, eggs, and macadamia nut pancakes. My fiancee ordered eggs benedicts with rice. The sausages were amazing. I tasted them at a different diner at another place but it's not as good as here. They compliment my fiancee's rice so well that I just ate all of his. In addition, the pancakes were sooo fluffy and good. We tried their special coconut and guava syrup on the pancakes and it's awesome. This is definitely a great breakfast joint to go when visiting Hawaii. They're opening another location closer to the Waikiki hotels along the beach. Hopefully, the long wait and line will be mitigated by their second location.

    Come here to try out ur japanese! Also they have fancy ihop like food. Let ne break it down further. Pros: if u like new things, coconut and guava syrup, mac nut pancakes, millions of japanese. Domo-arygoto mr roboto will git u far here. If u like attractive asian chicks this is a great place to meet them. Price is good i had 13$ portug. Sausage omlete that filled me up, which came with three medium mac nut pancakes. Cons: THE WAIT!? at 7pm on a weds, 30min!!!+. Conclusion: great cheap eat! Get one entree for two people unless ur a BIG eater. Remember the syrups free. Try it at least once you wont regret it.

  • Catherine V.

    I used to love Eggs n' Things and went there regularly when I was young. My last visit was an utter disappointment and I cannot recommend you go unless you don't mind waiting for 30 minutes, then being told you need to wait another thirty minutes; being rushed in and out with no coffee refills and little waitstaff attendance, being REALLY cramped at your table so that finding a place for your water is like completing a jigsaw puzzle. The new location is poorly planned and really diminishes the enjoyable atmosphere of the past. I suggest you try Wailana Coffee House instead, for the same quality food and much better service. Unfortunately, I don't see my self returning to Eggs N'Things, despite the sentimental value it has for me.

  • Randal F.

    Great variety of breakfast choices with a very quick kitchen and polite wait staff. The Bannana Crepes were light and fluffy with just the right amount of sweetness. The Ahi Steak and Eggs were a wonderful change of pace. The ahi was cooked to perfection with the perfect dash of seasonings. I recommend a table outside on the deck for a great view of the Honolulu morning.

    I was back here in June 2009 and seen the place while riding the buss. Me and my wife decide to give it a try during dinner time since it seemed that they get really busy in the morning. I ordered some fried rice and the wifey ordered some pancakes. It was ok and nothing really special for me but the name of the place is unique and could draw crowds.

    (3)

  • Jessica L.

    Don't mind the Japanese tourists (how do they all know about this wonderful place anyway??) and the long wait (usually about 45 minutes). It's definitely worth it. You can shop for syrups, pancake mix, and clothing made by Eggs n Things while you wait....or look at tourists, whatever you desire. When they finally call your name, you walk up the stairs and you're seated. Don't forget to look at the board with daily specials! I ordered the Island style fried rice....delicious!! There are so many ingredients in the rice like ham, bacon, mushroom, celery...YUMMM. It's topped with 2 eggs of your choice and is big enough for the hungry, hungry eater. They give you jalapeno tabasco on request and it goes really well with the freakishly good fried rice! I also tried the pancakes with bananas, macadamia nuts and whipped topping. They give you about 5 pancakes that are light and tasty and not too sweet. Try all 3 of their syrups...regular, guava, and coconut....it's fun! We got greedy and also got a side of corned beef hash...definitely not the stars of our meal but it was good...soft, salty meat. Mm. I loved this place. Good service, awesome food. They recommend going for dinner if you want to avoid the wait (5pm-10pm?)..same menu with some dinner specials. I'll definitely be back on my next trip to Oahu...great place to eat and then go pass out at the beach :) Be aware of major food coma.

  • Joe M.

    Yo... coconut syrup... incredible. Put it on everything if you want to taste nirvana. The wait is long and they can get testy if you leave and come back. But the annoyance of the line queue is instantly rewarded once you sink those ugly fangs of yours into their mac nut pancakes and potatoes. I bought the coconut syrup to bring back home with me. I recommend giving it a hearty shake first. I didn't do that the first time, and it drooled onto my pancakes like Farina... such a turn off.

  • miz i.

    Waiting makes u hungrier, but does not make the food tastier. As I waited for over an hour, I was already giving this place a one star rating. I have upgraded it to three stars, because the food was good, but not so good that it's worth over an hours wait. Also, you can't leave the premises while you wait, otherwise they put you back on the bottom of the list.

    Went to the new Eggs n Things a while ago. I was excited to eat here because I've heard so much about it from friends... Well, after an hour plus wait, I must say that I wasn't impressed. I had strawberry crepes with sour cream. The crepes were horrible. I swear, IHOP makes much better crepes! But If you're really into crepes check out Crepes No Ka Oi...I think that's how it's spelled. It's in Kailua. Long wait time, cramped seating, and Denny's-like food.... No thanks!

    After waiting an hour, i'm thinking god this place must be amazing! Then i ordered the strawberry crepes and they were yellow, slimy and tasted like god knows what. I took ONE bite of them and let them sit there and not one employee asked if there was anytihng wrong?? I gave them to a homeless person outside. My boyfriend got an omlette and his was also gross. We will never eat here again or recommend.

    My Ratings: Quantity: 4 Stars Quality - 4 Stars Price - 4 Stars Location - 4 Stars Service - 5 Stars Speed: 4 Stars My Opinion/Story: Its so odd that the moment we arrived at our hotel and asked the receptionist for a good place to eat eggs, she mentions Eggs N Things. We were curious but didn't really get to try this place until mid-week of our vacation. We passed by this place which was situated away from the busy tourist street. They recently acquired the upstairs area to expand their business. We went and ordered some amazing food. Tried their mac pancake, their omelette (ofcourse!), and something with shrimp (sorry forgot the name). But all in all, service was awesome and the food is great! Will go back for more.

    I decided to try dinner since breakfast is always so busy. It was still pretty busy but no wait. I had the calamari steak cajun style with salad and home fries $14.95. It was pretty good and the portion was a good size. I also tried the dinner pancakes with sour cream. I didn't like them. I think pancakes should stay sweet. My friends had the chicken fried steak and he said it was amazing. The service was great. Overall I will return.

    LONG, LONG, LONG line. The first day we were in Waikiki we walked there from our hotel and when we saw the line at 745 in the morning we turned around and had breakfast at the coffee shop next door. During the day we were shopping and one of the store clerks told us that the pancakes alone were worth waiting in line. SO, a few days later we decided we'd wake up late and go there for brunch. It was about 1030am on a Monday and we waited about 35 minutes. The place was crowded and you sit really close to your neighbors. We ordered eggs and pancakes. They were good. But 35 minutes good? I don't know. The fresh fruit touch and the flavored syrups made them unique, but I put this place on the "been there, done that" list.

  • Austin A.

    SIMPLY THE BEST. Jesus, I feel like a putz saying that, but I'll be damned if it isn't true. I would eat almost every meal there if they weren't closed in the afternoon. Of course, I'm not a fan of crowds or lines, of which there are usually both, especially in the "traditional" breakfast-time. The Japanese tourist crowd is a bit of a throw-off, 'cuz I wasn't sure the Japanese had a clue about a good American breakfast, but apparently they do. Expect peak waiting times of 30-45 minutes, but it's worth it. For the 4am "I just got kicked out of the bar and I'm too drunk to get into the after hours club" people (of which I would know -nothing about-) Eggs 'n Things is also an EXCELLENT place to go put some delicious fluffy pancakes in your stomach to absorb any possible toxins, so you can either go out and drink yourself into a second stupor, or if you're a wimp, it's a great capstone for the night.

    We came here for the first time in Hawaii and it was more than fabulous. Must get there very early but it's most definitely worth the early rise. We has blueberry waffles, strawberry crepes , special peaches and macadamia nut French toast and spinach omelet. Yummm x 5000 Came back for dinner just tonight and had breakfast food for dinner. So delicious and the service is great!! A must if you are in the area!

  • Eric C.

    Maybe it's my own bias, but I preferred the location on Kalakaua. The old location was on the first floor, much larger, and the paint decor was cozy. The new location is above a surf shop on the second floor of and older, dingy mixed residential/commercial property. They gained limited, cramped outdoor seating with a view of the street and post office... but the new digs are really a negative. A large crowd of Japanese tourists always filled the old location... nearly nonexistent now. Breakfast is the reason to visit Eggs N Things. The menu is still the same wooden plank; Japanese on one side and English on the other. Be sure to review the daily specials before you order: two dry-erase boards on the wall announce the day's special selections. Breakfast will cost about $10 with a beverage. Service is usually quick and the food is served hot and fresh.

    Just went to Eggs and things for breakfast. The breakfast was delicoius. Had lemon crepes that were great as usual. Husband stck of buttermilk pancakes. He was happy as always.

    4 stars for the mac pancakes with coconut syrup...almost a 5 star if it wasn't for the wait.... overall though...the food was awesome! yes...i DID pull out the 'A' word for an establishment...=) side note...try the portuguese sausage on the side...it has a little spice kick that's great! enjoy y'all!

  • Boki C.

    I somewhat agree with BrasilPo. I think it's super overrated. I don't think the food was poor, per se, but definitely not anything worth more than 3 stars in my opinion (& even that is a stretch). I too found the pancakes somewhat rubbery (go to FORTY NINER diner, to have some good ones everyone!!), the syrup was sweet, but I was fine with it. But I mostly stuck with the butte.r I found my scrambled eggs to be a bit on the dry side as well. I didn't wait too long on a Tues afternoon. I didn't find it expensive, seeing it's in Waikiki, otherwise I might have been pissed due to the hype of this place. I wouldn't go again, unless my friends REALLY REALLY wanted to do so. It's a nice eating place, open upstairs patio, but they give you your check as soon as you get your food - so you can't really ENJOY the dining experience.

    Anyone who tells you the wait isn't worth the food is just trying to keep the line down. Everything was really good. but the pancakes, oh the pancakes! If i had known how good they were going to be I would have skipped the eggs and steak and just ate a plate of those. I had the pineapple with nuts and whip, and poured their coconut syrup over it and it was awesome(this from a guy who isn't a fan of coconut). Their potatoes were also really good, very buttery and well seasoned.

    The best banana pancakes ever! Get there early and miss the crowd, we were their by 6:00 am and already busy, but wait was 10 mins vs. Later when can be like an hour wait.

    Um...yeah...save your money. Unless you want to try shoving slimy eggs down your throat with a plastic fork handed to you last minute, don't waste your time or money. The fact that this place has been in business since 1974 makes me weep. I don't know what the foot high whip cream is disguising? Perhaps a wonderful pancake or waffle that I have yet to experience, but the rest of the menu? YUCK!!!!

    Had to go there when I was on the island. This place is recommended by locals, yelp, and even Japanese guidebooks. Very nice settings with a bunch of kind people. Regardless of how packed the place was they helped us getting a good seat out in the balcony. Not to mention their food is great. The pancakes with fruits and cream is soft and tasty, their eggs are fresh, smooth and delicious. Also homemade island salsa adds a bit more happiness to your table.

    What?! You're kidding me Honolulu. You want to wait an hour and 45 minutes for eggs?! Eggs?! You should listen to the guy wearing the Cream Pot ad. That's where it's at. This is the second time vie eaten here and the quality of the omelette hasn't changed much. But if everyone's saying that the Mac nut pancake is bomb, then go for the Mac nut. Other than that, if you want eggs and shit, Cream Pot ain't too far of a walk.

    We've been to the old location many times and over the years it's gotten more and more crowded each time.......huge minus! So a couple of years ago we stopped going because it just seemed like all of the tour buses dropped off 50 tourists every hour and the wait times got outrageous. Fast forward to a month ago and they're at the new location. We drove by a couple of times and it was the SAME deal! Packed full of Japanese tourists and to a point where no sane person would wait an hour for pancakes....i don't care if Tiger Woods is flippin 'em! So here's the deal.....we were out one night at the mall and were thinking of a place to eat and couldn't think of anything and it was about 9pm or so. We get back to the hotel and think....hey, let's sees if Eggs n Things is still open! It's just a block away, why not. Lo and behold....no frickin line!! So we check in and the lady says it's only about 5 mins! Sweet, breakfast for dinner! So we got the steak n eggs, ahi steak, pancakes of course, and a couple other things. Steak was tasty and tender, ahi was a little overcooked, but still delish, and the pancakes were good as ever. One other thing to mention is the server that we had. He was a skinny black guy that was hilarious!! He speaks fluent Japanese and initially thought we were Japanese and started to speak to us in Japanese. When he found out we weren't, he seemed truly happy as shit because i'm sure that's all he gets all day! So i'm sure we were a welcome relief. To his boss: my reason for 5 stars instead of 4 is because of him.....he deserves a raise because he truly makes the Eggs n Things experience a good one!! My advice to you? Breakfast for dinner....it does a body good.

    Two people recommended this place to us. The food was not good. I ordered buttermilk pancakes that I could barely cut because they were so tough and a vegetarian omelette that was ok. My husband had the French toast that he said was barely edible. The only nice worker was Russell... Such a nice, friendly guy. The other people working including the people eating there did nothing but stare at us without cracking a smile- maybe because we had 2 kids with us who acted their ages 2&4. The people were too stiff and so was the food! What's the big deal about this place? I've been to so many restaurants that serve way better breakfast with a better atmosphere!

  • Amanda C.

    We read about this in multiple travel books so we made sure to visit on our first day! The food was definitely worth the wait! We had their well known ahi (both regular and Cajun), macadamia nut pancakes, and pineapple pancakes with whip! We loved it here and wish we could go every weekend!

  • Amanda M.

    Oh wow is all I can say. I literally rolled out of there. First of all Im in Hawaii and second of all I love pancakes what else could be better. Love the assorted menu from waffles to variety flavored syrups. Coconut syrup. OMGEEE. Would completely recommend - BUT be there early! I went around 10am and that was early for me. Worth the wait if you have the time if not definitely plan to wait. I ordered the macadamia nut pancakes with coconut syrup and whipped cream. Delish!

  • Paul H.

    You have to get there early or be willing to wait at least 30-45 minutes. I had the crab cake eggs Benedict. It was amazing and very flavorful, a bit on the rich side. Also had pineapple tea. Great menu and service was ok. The hosts are really nice though.

    This place has the worst service I have ever experienced. We came here based on the yelp reviews when my family and I were on vacation. We were told there would be a 45 minute wait. After about 60 minutes we went in to ask approximately how much longer. One person in front of us checked also their approximate wait time and they got a quick answer. When we asked the hostess stalled then went to another host whispered something and he told us in a few minutes. I then got the feeling that they skipped us, which is fine hey stuff happens, right? Then about 15 min later we started to see parties that arrived after us going to eat. I then asked again if they were going to seat us soon. They said that they were still getting the table ready. It took them another 30 minutes to seat us. When the waiter asked us how we were doing....we said we were hungry since we waited an hour and 45 minutes. He replied, in a somewhat matter of fact tone, "That has nothing to do with me." NO apology or anything. We weren't expecting a discount or anything, in fact I partially blame ourselves for not just leaving. However, the waiter should have been a little nicer about it. Even if the hosting has nothing to do with him the whole restaurant works together so it doesn't matter if it had anything to do with him. My brother (who was with us) with 5 years experience as working as waiter thought this was very unprofessional. As far as the food is concerned, it is decent but nothing you couldn't find somewhere else. They syrups are only average I personally don't think they were special. The best plate out of all ours was the lenguica sausage. It was definitely not worth the wait or even the original 45 minute wait. I will admit that by the time the food came we were slightly agitated so that could have influenced how much we enjoyed the food. All in all, we ended up wasting a half day at this place for mediocre quality food at best.

  • Nicole J.

    There's a bit of a wait but definitely worth it! By far one of the best breakfasts I ever had. I had the cajun ahi steak with over-medium eggs and coconut pancakes and my husband had the special of scallops and shrimp in a white sauce omelette with macadamia nut pancakes. The pancakes were so light and fluffy and they had the most amazing syrups - coconut and guava! We even bought some coconut syrup to take home. Would gladly wait to eat here again.

    Worth the hour plus wait....? Mm...don't think so. Maybe this is one of the best breakfast places in honolulu? Again, I think I've been extremely spoiled by living in NY and surrounded by a plethora of great brunch places. This place is known for their eggs and pancakes. Pancakes were disappointing. They aren't that fluffy. If you told me to compare these to IHOP, I'd probably rate them equally. Maybe it's the guava and/or coconut syrup that people love. That's unique. The sweet bread (hawaiian) bread french toast is ok. Nothing special. Wouldn't highly recommend, but it wasn't horrible either.

  • Regina B.

    This was the site of our first breakfast in Hawaii!! Before we left; I was trying to do my homework on Yelp and I'd read some good reviews of this place. It's really cute and small; the set up when you approach it is kind of confusing. They have their host stand setup down stairs; once they're ready to seat you they send you around the corner to the side of the building where you go up a small flight of stairs to meet another friendly host(ess). We sat outside on their patio. I had Spam n' eggs; and my boyfriend had their Portuguese sausage n' eggs :) They have GREAT coffee!! The one thing I was bummed about was I forgot to come back here and buy some to take home :( You NEED to come here if you're staying in Waikiki; if you're not hungry at least have a cup of coffee.

  • Amanda C.

    Eggs 'n Things rocked our breakfast world when we were in Waikiki last week. Pancakes were perfect - light & fluffy as others said. My favorite syrup was the guava, although others in my group liked the coconut. Needless to say, their EGGS were great! I got an omelette, and others ordered all styles (scrambled, over-medium, over-easy, sunny side up) and each was met with a chorus of "mmmm!" Although I didn't get one for myself, I was able to try my friend's Loco Moco. Make sure you have one while you're in Waikiki, and Eggs n Things does a fine job! I was sorry to miss out on having one to myself (though if you have enough time, my Spinach, Bacon, and Cheese omelette was very good.) I love how much you get for what you pay for here. Definitely stop by at least once if you're vacationing in the area!

  • Mayana P.

    Fresh, wonderful ingredients, VERY friendly staff. Food was good, too bad they didn't have hash browns but the potatoes (they call it homefries but they're really just potatoes) were decent. Everything was decent. There was no wait time for us to get a table. We went when it was 5pm or so. We ordered the pancakes (3), Portuguese sausage, turkey bacon, eggs. Yup, it's very crowded and is very warm inside. Tables are small but whatever. If you have a lot of patience to wait for some decent food, in a cramped space, you'll like this place!

  • Stephen B.

    This place is one of my top breakfast joints to go to in Honolulu. I suggest you try any of their breakfast meals, great value and you get a decent amount of options. My wife tried their honey pancakes and said they were some of the best she's had in awhile and my ahi belly steak was perfect! Really long wait is all, so be ready

    (4)

  • Craig C.

    This place was terrific. The pancakes, potatoes, and omelets were all amazing. We also had a pretty good smoothie too. We sat on the balcony and could do some good people watching too. The wait was about 45 mins, but it was worth it. The location is also good because you can easily head to the beach right after.

    (5)

  • Howard L.

    really though? I waited that long and went through all that trouble for this? Portuguese sausage, cold, dry. Rice cold, hard. macadamia nut pancake is okay. The nuts weren't really crunchy and i think left out too long. The guava syrup is great though! Other than that bleh. and my table was sticky so i had to keep my elbow off it. another bleh.

    Yelpers! Except to wait at least 45 minutes for a table. This place is extremely small, but was well worth the wait. I ordered their Ahi steak with scrambled eggs and potatoes. The ahi was cooked to perfection and was great with their salsa. I would recommend to try at least a small side of it. My girlfriend had peach french toast (i think) which was one of their daily specials which she loved. The service was excellent, friendly and quick. Our server even took the time make a few recommendations for activities and places to eat which was nice. This place is highly recommended, but I would suggest having a small snack while you wait for your table.

  • Chris O.

    This place is not about the food; so if you're waiting 45 mins at 7:30am for a life changing breakfast you will ( like I ) be disappointed. It's good food don't get me wrong, but not worth the wait. When the host asked me "So was it worth the wait", I lied and said "yeah". If anything, I'm glad to have tried a new place. Oh the other Yelpers were very helpful in choosing the actual food, so thanks. I'm still not impressed.

    The best banana pancakes you will ever have! Lots of great breakfast dishes and tasty Hawaiian juices, yum! Fare warning though, our wait time was a good 45 minutes...for us it was well worth the wait.

    after twenty minutes of hot waikiki sun beating down on us, standing on the sidewalk just inches from the bustling traffic, we had almost made it to the front of the line to be seated at Wailana coffee shop. then my pregnant wife turns to me and says she's craving Eggs 'N Things... so "when in waikiki"... and it was well worth it. the traditional eggs benedict was fresh, succulent and delicious. pancakes, i agree with my uncle A...are the best on the island, light, fluffy and moist. we even brought home leftovers, threw it in the toaster oven and it came out tasting great (though, it may have been marinating in the whipped butter for a while). coffee: could have been a little stronger, but i'm probably used to what most people would consider coffee syrup. the service was excellent and its a fun ambience, bright and open air, great for kids. highly recommend.

  • Scot K.

    I love eating at local places where ever I travel. I asked one of the hotel workers where he would go for breakfast in the area and he said Eggs and Things. My daughter and I went on Sunday and again on Monday. There were lots of locals mixed in with the tourists. The service was great and the food excellent. The pancakes were delicious. I had my favorite Portugese sausage plus eggs. The only draw back is that it is crowded and you need to expect a 20 - 40 minute wait. But who wants to eat in an empty restaurant? Highly recommended!

  • Ryan D.

    Def a great breakfast. Best breakfast I have had in Hawaii. The omelet and the potatoes were amazing. My wife and I shared some pancakes as well. The food was a 5 star but I am giving the place a 4 star due to the 1 hour wait on a weekday at 730 am. I have heard that the wait can be a few hours on a weekend. When they finally get you in, the tables are tiny and barely separated from the other tables. If it was bigger and could handle more guests, I would def give this place 5 stars!

  • Christina P.

    I don't see what the fuss is all about. We waited about 45 minutes and for me, it definitely wasn't worth it. I ordered eggs, bacon and American fries. Let's just say this: I would have been happier with a bagel or cinnamon roll from McDonald's. Sad, but so very true!! And to top it all off, my breakfast was barely warm (an all too common experience for me in Waikiki). Our waiter was okay, I think. The reason I say this is because I am completely baffled as to why my food was cold. Do the servers let the food just sit there or do the cooks not care? Anywho, good luck with this place. It's not all its cracked up to be!

  • Paul A.

    After hearing about this place so much we decided to give it a try and found it to be more hype than reality. We had the omelet and pancakes with strawberries and it was by no means bad, it just wasn't anything that would bring me back. I'm a breakfast guy and if you want a good breakfast, this will do but if you want a great brag about spot, well, from my experience, I can only say that it's better than denny's. If they had stuff on the menu that was really great, than I'm actually kind of mad that my server didn't sell me on it, because how would we know!

    (3)

  • Kelly A.

    First let me say this place has potential. The food is pretty good (not spectacular), the ambiance is that of dining on my grandmas porch (nice), however the hour long wait at 10am, high prices and the terrible service kills anything I could say nice about this place. $17.43 for the following; two eggs, four pieces of bacon, three strawberry pancakes, and a cup of coffee (pretty steep for breakfast food). Oh and by the way, if you order a soda for $2.75, refills are 99 cents, just in case you miss that on the menu. Now, maybe I just had the worse server in the place (she did look a little scary) but I still won't return because I don't think the value is there. It's too bad because this place has potential to be an awesome breakfast spot.

    My friends from Cali wanted to to try here. There was 7 of us. Found parking on the street. Waited 30 minutes to get seated, which is fine. Order food, and drinks, and some side dishes. Food is decent, good portions. We were still finishing up, and the waiter drops the check. Then about 2 min later this guy comes up to us, and tell us we need to pay they need the table back cause there are alot of people waiting outside. Ok so we just paid about $150 for breakfast, and your telling us to hurry up. Cool ! they prob dont need our business. but, i am never coming back here again, and never recommending this place to anyone.

    Eggs 'N Things, long wait, poor service, charge too much and portions enough for two or more people, the potatoes that come with the breakfast is enough for four portions, bad coffee. We complained about the coffee, had them take it away and off the bill. Share an order instead of each ordering your own if you can agree on what to eat. Bring your own take away containers for any leftovers.

    The new place seems like its the same size as the old one. I can't believe I waited almost an hour to get in!! Food is a average, syrups are good, but I think the history and how cute the place is what makes it special.

  • Jose L.

    Ahi and eggs over easy with potatoes with a side of academia nut pancakes was real good for the price surprising the plate was only 11 bucks and some change that Ahi steak was real good we went for late breakfast around 2 and the wait was about 25 min it was Monday

    (4)

  • Arash K.

    As just about everyone else has already mentioned, the wait is long (approximately 45 minutes at 10am) and the wait staff is very friendly. The three of us ate for about $15 per plate including drink, tax and tip. This is on par with the area - Denny's and IHOP notwithstanding. The portions are large and the ingredients fresh. The pancakes are the best item on the menu especially with their guava or coconut syrups.

    ooh the wait is atrocious! you wait for a beeper, then you wait for the thing to go off. once you get upstairs you wait for service.we had macadamian nut pancakes and whipped strawberry pancakes with coconut syrup. it was heavenly! the omelettes were also damned delicious. just be warned it's alot of food and they charge for to go containers ( bc they're green). our auntie waitress was such a sweetheart, it was all worth it. even with the 45 minute wait.

  • Jesse H.

    used to go here either on the way to work or after a long night at six in the morning before the crowds got there. The food was always fresh, delicious and fairly inexpensive for Hawaii. I always enjoyed the Japanese tourists giggling and taking pictures of themselves with their American style breakfast, they make the atmosphere so happy and vibrant in the early morning.

  • Tim K.

    Why didn't we pay attention to the 3 1/2 stars? Food was mediocre at best, but the prices were way out of proportion to both the wait (45 minutes on Monday morning) and the food quality. I had the "pork chop" special, which actually turned out to be a ham pork chop that was dried to cardboard consistency and looked like it had been aged, and not in the good, beefy way. Also, when my wife tried to ask for the bill, the server motioned for my wife to get up and come to her. Great service. Take the drive to Liliha Bakery, which has probably the best pancakes I've ever eaten, at a very reasonable price.

  • John S.

    Don't be impressed by the long lines coming out of the restaurant. Long wait for way overpriced food that is served on paper plates. Expensive....for Mediocre quality. For that money--i'd go to Duke's across the street for their breakfast buffet (but not for dinner).

    generous portions, homestyle feel to the place. 3 different types of syrup for your pancakes! (maple, guava and coconut) the food was little better than average but maybe omelettes just arent my thing. its a good visit though if you are traveling from out of the state!

    So as a self proclaimed connoisseur of good food, I have two rules dealing with restaurants when on vacation. Rule #1 When on vacation don't eat at a restaurant that you can eat at home. Example: we saw a Chili's, Tony Romas, and Outback, all of which we can enjoy at home. Rule #2 When on vacation never go to the same restaurant twice, unless your choices are limited. i.e. 2 or 3 restaurants where you are staying. Now with over 900 restaurants on the island, we broke rule #2. We enjoyed our breakfast so much the first time, that we ate here twice. The staff was friendly, the food came fast after you order, and it was delicious. I recommend the Portuguese sausage, my wife recommends the Sweet Bread French Toast, the portions are HUGE, and filling. If you have a sweet tooth then try one of the six flavors of pancakes, and top them off with maple, boysenberry, guava, coconut, or pineapple syrup. Oh yeah the crepes, and omelets are huge and don't forget the amazing home made salsa sitting on the table. Mmmm mmmm I want to go back tomorrow. This is the best breakfast on the Island. EXPECT TO WAIT, as it has a reputation for amazing food, want something fast then go to Mc Donalds, you want great food, then be patient. It was definitely worth breaking rule #2 for.

    This place may have started out as a nice authentic joint with good old fashioned breakfast items, friendly service, and budget prices, but it has since morphed into an ugly monster of a tourist trap. They must have forged a deal with the japanese tour books as there's a constant influx of japanese tourists especially. We waited 40 minutes to be seated (after being told there's a 15 minute wait), then another 20 min to get our food: 1) Portuguese sausage with scrambled eggs and a short stack of buttermilk pancake: sausage was good but nothing extraordinary (and skimpy portions consisting of 4 thin slices). Eggs were airy and above average. Pancakes, touted by the establishment as best in Hawaii, were fluffy but not memorable. There were 3 syrups available on the table (maple, coconut, strawberry). 2) Mushroom and spinach omelette: Not flavorful. No cheese. Of note, cheese is not standard in their omelettes and only comes in certain ones that are listed on the menu. Coffee is average. Also, you're packed in like sardines. We had about 3 inches between our table and our neighbors'. There was also syrup on the table when we sat down. Would skip this place. Don't wait an hour for mediocre food.

    We waited in line for 45 minutes for this? Just pedestrian, run of the mill food. Nothing special at all. I just don't see what all the hype is about unless they use a promoter to get shills to stand in line. The food was just ok, but I've actually had better at fast food places. We have been back to Honolulu a few times since, and we just drive on by and go to a real restaurant. Will not return and would not recommend unless there is no line and all you want is high-priced food.

    eh. after waiting in line for 30-45 minutes for a table [on a wednesday] i expected the food to be STELLAR! especially since everyone always raves about it. Food was just decent. got a corned beef hash omelette, and it tasted very blah. some bites were good but the others just seemed like they were missing something, and lacked any real taste. gave them an extra star because all of the waiters and workers were very friendly even if they were bustling around like crazy people!

    Yes the pancake was good but the wait can be so long and seriously after having the pancake i think its ok to try once but definitely if you are in a hurry don't wait its good but not the greatest or not even close to divine. The way they do the line and the service

  • AsianRunningDiva S.

    Where to even start? This was my 2nd time going. Thought I'd give it another try. I got there before the rest of my party did, so put in my name and got a buzzer. 2 out of the 3 people in the rest of my party arrived just as my buzzer went off, and I thought, GREAT! Just in time! We went upstairs, and they said that we had to continue waiting until ALL of our party arrived....but a 3 person table takes up as much room as a 4 person table...and the person we were waiting for was just parking the car and the husband to one of my friends! Didn't matter...So went back down and had to wait another 10 minutes after our 4th person showed up since they had already given up our table. 5 minutes after putting in our order, the waitress puts our check on the table...What if I wanted something else? And we did end up ordering an additional coffee, so the waitress had to re-print another bill! WHAT A WASTE OF PAPER! Food wasn't anything special...Immediately after the last plate was cleared, a man came up to us, took the bill from its placeholder and said, "Here is the bill, you pay over there" (Read: GET UP, PAY, AND GET OUT!). OK! Kicking us out, without even a minute to breathe and digest our food! SO RUDE! I am a local here and AM NEVER EVER AGAIN RECOMMENDING THIS PLACE or GOING THERE...terrible customer service, expensive food (an omlette for $10?)...no thank you!

    How does this place not have 5 stars?!?! I have been to Honolulu 3 times and I make sure to go to Eggs 'N Things as much as possible while I am there. Fantastic service with efficient, friendly hosts and servers (except, I noticed there weren't many or any female servers, what's the deal? girl power!) Also, I know its always crowded and you have to wait to get seated, but I have found it to be worth the wait every time. Besides, the service is so speedy, it averages about 1 hour from putting your name on the list to leaving with a full-belly and a smile on your face. Most restaurants where the wait is less or none, you end up having to wait longer for your food once you are seated. So I really find it all averages out. The coffee is superb. The vegetarian omelet and potatoes are light and fluffy My favorite are the Macadamia Nut Waffle/Pancake. My tip is if you are deciding between the Macadamia Nut Waffle or Pancake, get the pancakes. This is because their waffles cost about 50 cents more but are way less food (they are thin, not like a belgian waffle). Both taste about the same (same batter and topping) but I think you get more bang for your buck on the pancake side (even though I generally prefer waffles).

    We waited 45 minutes for a table. There were a lot of Japanese tourists there. My girlfriend had the macadamia nut pancakes. They were quite tasty. I had the the eggs, portuguese sausage breakfast. I upgraded the pancakes to the chocolate chip pancakes. This was good as well. Guava and coconut syrup are available. I tried the coconut syrup and it was really good.

    I got the island rice with fried eggs. No complaints, was really yummy. Large portion and very filling. The lines at this place were ridiculous. We were up very early when it opened so we did not have to wait long, but I have walked past it when it was ridiculously busy. They have amazing coconut and guava syrup for the pancakes. Friendly service.

    On a 5 day trip to Hawai'i we went here twice. It was good and it was one of the closest breakfast places open near the hotel. The Macadamia Nut Pancakes were awesome and the portions were quite big. Check in on the street level THEN go upstairs after you're called (made that mistake). If you get there when it opens there's no wait but expect to wait later on in the morning.

    Great breakfast spot! I went here twice during my trip to Oahu. Tried the mac nut pancakes the first time, which was great! But I couldn't help but also eyeball my friend's minced meat Portuguese sausage scramble. So I made a return trip and had that then! I like that it's walking distance from the hotels in Waikiki, but be ready to wait in line for a table. This place is packed!!

    I saw Egg n'things from Yelp as well as several guidebooks. One day when I got tired of hotel breakfast buffet, I decided to give it a try. I'm so glad to have gone there. The wait was about 30 minutes. I checked in downstairs and the hostess gave me a menu to look over while I waited. The food was excellent compared to what I have had in my hotels. The sausages were a bit tough though, but the price is a lot more reasonable for its quality and the portion is big. I will definitely go back there again.

  • Marc K.

    Portuguese sausage was really good. Portions were nice size. Special Hawaiian sweet bred french toast was very good. Pancakes were fluffy. Waiter was really friendly and helpful. At the wrong times, the wait can be very long. They have moved (not closed), but still not a large place.

    Good breakfast spot, I have had better morning meals, but it will definitely hit the spot and fill you up. The wait is heinous...make sure you go early. I guess I didn't give it high ratings because I was expecting greatness. It is good, I just didn't think it was worth the wait.

  • Lil D.

    I really wanted to like this place, what with all the rave reviews and the long lines every morning. We really thought we'd be in for a treat. Well, we were quite disappointed. The pancake was too doughy and on the soggy side. The french toast looked great but tasted awful - some pieces must have picked up grease from some salty meat on the grill cuz it tasted greasy and really salty. Salty french toast?--YUK!!! The one piece that was not contaminated was decent and I might have rated it good had the salty taste didn't linger on my tongue and mind. The people and service were very nice, but the food was far from expectations. Bottom line: edible but not memorable. Simply not worth the wait. I guess people who don't cook or can't may find breakfast great here.

    A little skeptical when I saw the throngs of japanese tourists waiting outside b/c it screams of tourist trap. Luckily, the hubby got a recommendation to go here from a local so that swayed us to give it a shot. Glad we did. The strawberry pancakes were awesome. Nice chewy cakes and topped with strawberries marinated in sauce and a Sh** load of whipped cream, even though I said easy on the whipped cream. In the end, I ate most of it. The mac nut pancakes were a bit disappointing. Just plain cakes with crushed mac nuts. If drowned in the coconut syrup, they washed down well. The spam and egg scramble was heavy ont he spam. We've never been to a place that is so generous with the spam so we were impressed by this, but it was otherwise, ordinary. Not complaining though. Their potatoes are YUMMMMY. They are dusted in flour maybe so they have an extra layer of crisp to them and great flavor to boot. Service was super friendly and fast. Would def go back.

  • Sky B.

    Wow, really, really worth the wait. Where do I start? From the minute they put you on a list and give you a pager until you pay the bill and leave, all the employees here treat you really well and you get the feeling they care. But most importantly, the food! Fresh, tasty, and fast. My Ahi and eggs was out of this world, the Ahi was sooooo fresh and the eggs were cooked perfectly. The fruit cup was probably the freshest and best fruit cup I've had in a restaurant....apples, papaya, strawberry, pineapple, banana...fresh and crisp. You'd have to expect fresh everything as they serve so many people each day, the must replenish the supplies on a regular basis.... 70% of the business is Japanese, but don't let that that deter you, they serve everyone well.

  • Terry M.

    It was an iHop meal at a gourmet price. The mac pancakes were a little dry and the outside was crunchy. Very little mac on top. The portions were not large. Many of the plates that I saw others eat were piled high with whip cream, which is great if you want to eat whip cream with a pancake. I had high hopes for this place based on the reviews that I read here, but it did not live up to the hype.

  • Jessica D.

    Eggs 'N Things has great food, large portions, good service, wait time is the only downfall---but well worth it!!! Get there the earlier the better. The staff are efficient, but don't be surprised if you go later that you get the "rushed" feeling. I loved the atmosphere and the set up of the restaurant. They have tables but also a bar/counter overlooking the street with a great breeze! This is the only place we visited for breakfast while on vacation in Oahu. The macadamia nut pancakes with coconut syrup are delicious!!! Get the papaya with fresh lemon. Oh sooo good! The lemon squeezed on top takes the fruit outta this world. I got their breakfast specials---the omelets, which were huge! Portugese sausage, Green onions, & cheese was my favorite. They come with either potatoes or pancakes. Ask for an upgrade to the pancakes and get the macadamia nut! I tried the strawberry pancakes (since they said that was the #1 seller) but they were just okay. I am seeing other reviews that this place is "overrated" and such---not so!!! Give it a try! You will love what you get! And you won't be hungry until dinner!

    over price for the food, you can get the same thing from local restaurants. service is BAD, maybe they don't know how to use the right or proper language to talk to customers, or just B/S their way out. we called before we went to make sure they do take out, and was told that they didn't take phone order, you have to go there, pay first. so we did. when we go there, we went straight to the cashier to order take out, they said the person who take to go order is not around, didn't know where he went. we were asked to line up and wait for the "to go" guy. we waited about 40 min. it was about our turn to get our table. I just didn't understand why their no back up person to do the simply task to take to go order. not so happy about the B/S answer about the to go person is not around, but still being hopeful that the food would be great. after we order at the door, line up for the cashier to pay. OK.... line up again.... after paying, the cashier told us:"go there to line up for your table". maybe he could put a smile or simply adding "please". we were shock again by the service, again. while waiting for the table, we saw there were plenty empty table, and to be clean up table available, but the waiter there are just so relax, enjoying his own breakfast and chatting with co-worker. shouldn't they sit the waiting customers first with the available tables?? still being hopeful that the food would be good....my first impression was: that was it?? we paid over $60, and that was it? portion was small, the $4 "fresh juice" is not so "fresh", it just the gallon container you bought from ABC store. how fresh? the food is just OK, can't really tell what the difference from IHOP, only the different favor syrups mark a different. I am sure you can get those syrups at ABC stores. the management of the store is just so manipulating the waiting customers, I believe it is their intention to creation the long waiting line. to give people a wrong indication about how "good" their restaurant is. if you love lining up for bad service and normal food with high price, this is the place for you. go waste your time and money there. my suggestion, DON'T GO!!!!!!

    The pancakes are pretty good, the coffee is awesome, the steak & eggs are delicious, and the homemade salsa that the older waitress puts on your table every time is pretty tasty. What I can do without however is the long wait. Sorry, I'd rather trek on down to Lulu's at the Diamond Head end of Kalakaua. No waiting for breakfast... ever.

    This place is sort of small we waited for an hour and it was worth it cause the home fries were good, the mac pancakes, and the egg benedict was delicious but the nickel and dime you for everything even a to go box is $2 unbelievable! Oh well you get a C for effort

    this place sucks!!! why do i have to click a star?!?!? it does not deserve any stars at all!!! we were told the wait was 35 mins but we ended up waiting for 1 hr & 10 mins. if they had told us the truth, that the wait was at least an hour i wouldn't have stayed. anyway, when we finally got seated, we ordered right away. but effin' 30 mins later and we still haven''t gotten our food!!! what the smurf?!?! what made me angrier is that about 5 people who were seated later were already eating and we still only had our juices to drink! so eventhough we had wasted an hour and 40 mins, we just took off. i could not stand another minute at this over rated dump!!!! crappy service!!!! yes i'm furious! what a way to treat customers on christmas eve!!! you guys suck big time!!!!!!!!! and their restroom is nasty!!! of all the places people have recommended for us to check out, this one definitely went to my "not to go to" places. i should have gone to mcdonald's instead!!! ugh

    First of all, there is a 1 hour wait, the food is ok to bad and the service was horribleeeeeeeeeee. When we asked for a togo box the server laughed, the servers were all very disrespectful and rude, this place is a must not to go.

    I really don't like to give bad reviews but this was a terrible breakfast experience. Long line to get in but when we finally sat down we ordered our breakfast and it took 15 minutes to get our water and coffee. My food came out but they forgot my BFs food. It never came out and they never refilled our drinks. Very upsetting. We were disappointed.

  • Kathy D.

    Decided to give this place a try after yelping for a breakfast spot and it was in walking distance to our hotel. The restaurant is actually located upstairs with a gift shop and beverage counter downstairs where you can order coffee or smoothies while you wait for your table. I figured I would go ahead and order the lava flow fruit tea smoothie (coconut, pineapple, strawberry). It was alright, bit on the too sweet side for me, couldn't really taste any tea in it. Now on to the food. Crab cake benedict with pancakes were good. The muffin had a nice crunch and crab cakes were fried. Portion for the Pancakes were big and filling and they have guava or coconut syrup. Pineapple pork chop was not bad, the taste reminded me of ham with a touch of sweetness. Come here early as I can see this place getting packed. We only waited about 10 minutes but that was for 2 people.

    I am going to start from the end of our experience then go back to the beginning. If you are one that does not like to waist food like us then be prepared to get charged .50 cents per take out box. i don't know what anyone else thinks but I felt almost insulted. The waitress gave an explanation to me as if I didn't live here that they are biodegradable and that it costs them because they have to them shipped here. Then she says "Everything costs more because it is shipped to Hawaii". Well duh!!!! Suck it up owners. I mean kudos for going toward a better environment but seriously you are going to charge the customer. Not only that but if they order the to-go boxes in bulk I can almost guarantee they don't pay .50 cents per so they are also making a profit off of them. I think this petty and cheap and borderline pathetic. They don't have comment cards at the store so it leaves only the Internet to get your thoughts out. I really hope enough people say something to help the owners pull there heads out of their you know what. They do state on their to-go menu that take out orders are charged an extra .75 cents per meal/item. I still think this is excessive but they at least warn you. We however did not order take out. We ate there and enjoyed it all the way up until it was time to go and we had a couple of pancakes and half an omelet left. We didn't want to waist a good thing so we asked the busser for a to-go box and that is when we were informed. I started to express my unhappiness about this and he said sorry I'm not the owner. An employee is apart of the business and therefore is part owner in a sense and should stand up for there practices no matter what.The wait is long but to be expected when you see the place. Everything was delicious. We had the potato bacon and cheese omelet which was cooked to perfection. The pancakes were just as they say, light and fluffy with a nice little crispy edge to them.

    This place is not family friendly. A crazed lady behind the counter told us we could not let our sleeping 2 month old baby stay in her stroller during the meal and after that told us we couldn't even take a meal to go! On top of this she somehow thought she had the right to put her grubby hand on our baby's chest, waking her up in the process. Unbelievable.

    Don't let the line of people outside this place fool you. Our breakfast was pretty bad. I ordered poached eggs and they couldn't get them right. My husband asked for crispy bacon and they said OK however ignored his request and served him limp bacon with over cooked scrambled eggs. The restaurant is what I would call a dive. Funky seating, bad view of the kitchen, can't recommend this place to anyone, sorry.

    You are much better off spending your time at an ocean view table somewhere on the island instead of waiting 45 minutes+ to eat at Eggs' N Things. While the server was nice, the food was just OK making the wait at this place with no views at all a waste of time. We waited 45 minutes for a table of 3 on a Tuesday morning, after getting there at 8:30AM (not fun for our 8 year old). The pancakes were good, but no way better than a quality breakfast place like The Original Pancake House or any nice boutique breakfast spot. If fact, while expensive, the pancakes at the Trump Tower were better. The biggest disappointment was the Ahi tuna and eggs - a recommendation from the host - I ordered the tuna medium, yet it was served well done and it was too late/too long of wait to send it back at that point. To be fair, the server did ask if they overcooked it, but it was too late in the morning to start over - a place like that should be nailing it on the tuna temp given it's a signature dish. The upside in this case is that, if cooked right, this would be an amazing breakfast. Moreover, the servers didn't have time or offer to refill our coffee or water - just too busy and crowded up there. All said, the food was OK; the service was friendly, but not great; the place has no view at all (a shame even in the concrete jungle of Waikiki), and all that said, the wait time makes this place a no-go. Spent your time at one of the many, many spectacular beaches outside of Waikiki! I'd recommend heading out to Sunset Beach and getting a breakfast sandwich at Ted's Bakery.

    Wow. What an AWFUL experience. I was definitely expecting this place to be good because of the long lines of people waiting outside. But the people waiting could not be returning customers because we will never return and can't imagine why anyone would want to. They sat three of us at a table barely big enough for two people. My seat faced the wall (there was literally less than a food and a half between my face and the wall) and I felt like I was being punished the whole meal. Our server was rude and didn't bother to even look us in the eyes when he spoke to us. He treated us like we were wasting his time. When I asked to have two types of cheese in my omelet, he told me "No", that I could only have one. My husband ordered the special because it was stated to have sliced peaches. Expecting fresh, in season, peaches, we were served canned peaches. The whipped cream comes out of a spray can. There is nothing fresh, homemade or healthy about their food. The eggs were fine, but probably not fresh and drenched in butter. When we wanted to take some of our food to go, we were told that we would be charged per container! What?!?! I have never heard of that. The food quality is par to Denny's which is fine when it's cheap, fast and you know what to expect. But with the line and hype, we expected much more. I would definitely not wast my time or money.

    After landing in Honolulu early in the morning, we headed straight to Eggs and Things. We heard it gets packed so we made sure to come early. We got seated right away and everyone was so friendly that it put us in the Aloha State mind. Since there was 6 of us we pretty much ordered half the menu and of course everything was delicious. The best was the Mahi Mahi with rice, just grilled on a flat top and a squeeze of lemon juice, heaven. The chocolate chip pan cakes were so fluffy with coconut syrup it tasted like an almond joy..so ono!

    Normally I would have written Eggs N Things a great review. It has been a 'must-eat' on my annual trip to Hawaii. It was so great that I bragged about it to my family & friends who live in Oahu and convinced them to meet my wife and I there. Despite the 1+ hr wait that morning we resolutely stood in line without complaint. But Eggs N Things ... oh how you've betrayed me! For shame! The service was horrible. From the cantankerous old wench who recieved us at the front desk to our surly, relic of a waitress the female staff there dissapointed us beyond words. (I stress female, because there was a gentleman who was beyond helpful, less he be scooped in with this awful lot.) I politely asked to not have veggies added to my fried rice and my waitress, Paula, looked me directly in the eye and said, "no." Without explanation, apology or tact, simply told me I could go stick a Dole pineapple up my butt. She did the same with the rest of my invited guests. I was embarassed for ever inviting my family to the restaurant and embarassed for every recommending this place to anyone else. Thanks Paula, this 'Kane' won't be coming back to Hawaii for Spam and Eggs no mo'!

  • Felicia T.

    Got there just after 6am for breakfast on a weekday and there was no wait. We were definitely not prepared for the portions to be so huge.. I only made it through half of my macadamia nut pancakes. I thought the quality of the food was decent, but slightly overpriced. The syrups were very interesting, coconut, guava, and normal maple syrup!! Definitely try those. Probably glad that my family went to Eggs 'n things once during our trip, but probably would not have gone again... it turned out to be more expensive than some of our lunches.

  • Jason K.

    This is one of my late night or afternoon grinds. The Omlettes are huge - I liked the Spinach/Bacon. They have different kinds of style of omlettes along with other egg dishes (scrambled, poached, etc) and meats like Hamburger patty, sausage, spam corned beef hash. With an order of omlette you can get a side of Pancakes which is also gooood.....Blueberry, Banana or mac nut w/ coconut syrup...This location is new from the last one and personally havent been to this one, the other used to be before Kalakaua near 7-11 and Jack N the Box. But as long as the menu is the same its all good....

    If you want breakfast in Waikiki, you should definitely go there at least once. I'd go there more often except I dont have an hour to wait every time. Their loco moco is really good, and their macadamia nut pancake w/ coconut syrup is so light, fluffy, and perfect. I just wish the wait wasnt so long.

    I heard great things about this joint, especially from the original restaurant at Waikiki Came here on a rainy Thursday morning. This place is a small shack, I would not recommend for claustrophobic people! Had to check in on the first floor to get seated upstairs. Took about 10 minutes. Once we got up - omg this place was packed, but tiny tiny tiny!!! Guest were almost sitting elbow to elbow, and we were seated at the table stuck to the end of the wall and there was a chair awkwardly stuck to a 2 seater table... We were all cramped -_- I ordered the banana crepe which was good, lots of bananas and good texture but overall it wasn't much (just slices of bananas inside a rolled crepe) The omelette was very unique, it was light but I prefer the American version better. I ordered the fruit bowl as well, and was disappointed - fruit pieces were not fresh and sweet... I thought how was this possible in a place where fresh fruit is everywhere?!? It's a decent joint, but not for people looking to eat comfortably and are busy to get from point A to point B

    Our food was good. The people upstairs were nice. I don't understand why the long lines, but if you can go when there is no line, you won't be disappointed. The menu had lots of mouth watering items. I was sad though, that I couldn't get one of the desert crepes for breakfast. I think most of the bad reviews stem from the bouncer attitude coming from downstairs, remember the soup nazi on Seinfeld? lol

    I first tried Eggs N Things in Japan (Enoshima, Odaiba, and Harajuku locations). So, I just had to try the restaurant here on paradise island....where it originated from. On a Tuesday morning around 11:30am, the line to wait wasn't bad at all. Probably 10-mins or so. They provide you with a buzzer, and once it buzzes you just head directly upstairs for seating. We were hoping to get balcony seating but ended up near the register. It wasn't an ocean view anyway (more like the Post Office and tourist buses), but the idea was nice. It took about 10-mins before our order was taken, but delivery of our food seemed much faster. Our waitress was pretty cool. An older but more wise one, explained the menu and checked up on us every now and then. My son typically likes to make a few tweaks to his meal, so she was patient and repeated his order back to him: Chocolate chip pancakes topped off with more chocolate chips and bananas. And of course it was topped off with a sh*t-ton of whipped cream. I chose to order Eggs Benedict Florentine. The BEST I've had on the island so far (in comparison to Yummy's and Pancakes & Waffles). Everything was made to perfection. I just wish I had more room in my belly to finish it because it came with a side of pancakes!

  • Juno L.

    Best pancakes I've ever had. And I don't even like pancakes. Try them with the coconut cream and guava syrup (together). Stupid delicious. I ordered the Portuguese sausage and eggs breakfast and my wife ordered the chicken mango sausage and eggs breakfast. The amount of food you get is ok for the price. Not great but ok. I eat a lot and I'm from Texas so my portion-gauge is probably a little off. Or a lot. Everything was great. The service was good after we were greeted which took a bit. The place feels very homey and comfortable. The little shop downstairs is nice too. Definitely stop by if you're visiting. Looking forward to coming back and trying a smoothie.

  • Chelsea M.

    Just got done eating here. The food was FANTASTIC! Everything was fresh and delicious. Got the macadamia nut pancakes. The macadamia nuts ARE in the batter (I was worried they might just be on top). We also got the Portuguese sausage omelette. You could tell the ingredients were so fresh! And they didn't skimp on anything either-lots of cheese! The only thing I was sort of annoyed with was the fact that they have 3 speciality pancakes-pineapple, coconut and macadamia nut. I asked if I could get all 3, or 2 and 1? And they said No. Except at night they actually do all three as an entree. That's really the only reason it didn't get 5 stars. I'm bitter about it. Ha. But if you're not a brat like myself, then you won't be disappointed!!

  • Tiffany C.

    During lunch hours there is usually a line for ordering and dine in. No ac in the restaurant just fans. But i gott give credit for their fluffy pancakes!! Seriously they have the best pancakes, not too floury or powery. Its the perfect texture in my opinion!!

  • Chavah A.

    I am a huge breakfast fan but when I saw this place I wasn't too convinced so I passed by it a few times when searching for breakfast places. That was a mistake! It's good. They also have a lot of fruit options which hasnt been as easy to find as one might think in Hawaii! The food was great, staff was super nice and attentive and I loved the coconut syrup (never seen that before!). The only reason I cant give it 5 stars is my husband was complaining the entire time about how dang hot it was and he was right - we were pretty sweaty walking out of there. Fans would be a big help.

  • Lynsey H.

    I loved this place! It's so quaint and fun! We expected a long wait, but as we said we would sit at the counter or a table we only waited about 10 mins. We did get sat at the counter which is fine, but it is probably more comfortable at a table as we we were sat on wooden stools. Our view was obstructed by some black mesh, I assume due to the building work going on, but the sunshine made its way through so it was fine. I ordered beef hash with scrambled eggs. You then get a choice of toast, potatoes or pancakes. I ordered pancakes and I would definitely recommend this as you get 3 pancakes so a generous portion & you get the best of both worlds with sweet & savory. I chose to pay extra to get chocolate chip pancakes, but be aware it is an $3.95 extra to get a topping, which I thought was a bit steep for some chocolate chips (the meal itself only $9.95). However, I really enjoyed the meal and it really filled me up for the day. My husband ordered the macadamia nut pancakes, which he really enjoyed, but he thought I had got more pancake with my meal than he got! I can't wait to return here next time we are in Hawaii. I also enjoyed that they have a shop underneath the restaurant with eggs & things keepsakes.

    Eggs 'n Things is to Hawaii AS Wings n' Things is to California. Ummm, not quite! The Hawaiians do it bigger and better than us. Eggs in the food, check. Cartoon egg logo and cute photo-ops, check. The1st floor of the restaurant is dedicated to "egg" souvenirs, check check check. 1st floor (right side): Souvenir shop 1st floor (left side): Smoothies, drinks and a quick bite to eat. 2nd floor: The restaurant! The perfect tropical Hawaiian vibe! Felt like we were dining in a tree house with the birds flying and chirping on the balcony. The slightly humid weather meshed w/ the sea breeze. Very relaxing. **THE FOOD GIST** ISLAND STYLE FRIED RICE & EGG ($11.45): Dude, this fried rice had almost everything you could imagine that existed on the island. Bok choy, bean sprouts, fish cake, green onions, Canadian bacon, Portuguese sausage, spam, ham, eggs, carrots...the whole nine yards with a fried egg plopped on top. A CRAZY dish and a bit too much at first. But, after a few bites I was hooked. Couldn't put my fork down. Nicely seasoned w/ good texture on the rice. Enough to share with 2 ppl. PORTUGUESE SAUSAGE & EGGS ($9.95): can't go to Hawaii and not have Portuguese sausage and banana pancakes, it's a must. Especially for the hubs. His meal came w/ sausage, rice (or potatoes), 2 fresh eggs cooked HIS way (scrambled) and we upgraded from buttermilk pancakes to BANANA pancakes. Gotta make Jack Johnson proud :). Savory sausage along w/ sweet fluffy pancakes drizzled w/ their signature coconut syrup, we were in heaven. Comfort food at its best. Had to get some fresh PAPAYA (kiddo begged), which was pretty darn expensive since it is an island grown fruit (something like $5 for 1/2). Wasn't even that sweet. GUAVA, PINEAPPLE, PAPAYA DRINK: refreshing, tangy tropical juice!! Eggs 'n Things offered good food with a cool ambiance. A bit on the pricey side since it was more commercialized. We did our touristy thing, now off to look for some hidden gems. TID BITS: 1) About 1.5 blocks from the beach 2) Expect to wait during peak hours 3) KID friendly 4) Clean bathrooms p.s. I couldn't resist and bought a bottle of coconut syrup for home. So GOOD!

    We showed up to Eggs & Things and were greeted with a line of people waiting to check-in. After putting in our name we went to the Post Office ( yelp.com/biz/us-post-off… ) across the street to kill some time and pick up stamps for post cards. We were barely done at the self-service kiosk when our buzzer began sounding a serious alarm. It was time to return to the restaurant/table and they weren't joking around! We checked in at a different hostess station upstairs and were seated near a window. Service wasn't great. I'll leave the server's name out, but she was not friendly and didn't really make our breakfast in Hawaii great. It had slowed down a bit by the time we were seated, which appeared to be following the big morning rush. So perhaps she was tired, but... regardless, we placed our orders and sipped our drinks. It was a little hard to get the coffee and soda refilled ($3 each) but we didn't have long before the food came out. I had two eachs $4.25 and one side of brown rice ($1.95) and one side of white rice ($1.95) (nothing else on the menu really sounded great). My husband had the locl moco ($10.55) which was eggs, potatoes, and sausage smothered in brown gravy. The food was okay. Better than the service I guess, but we kind of wished we'd eaten somewhere else when we left. We did try a spoonful of each of the syrups and they were delicious!

    I haven't been to Eggs 'n Things in ages. I'm a big fan of the breakfast place and its huge portions, but the super long lines have been a serious deterrent. You can park at the post office right across the street, but be prepared to pay some big bucks. Fees start at $7 for 2 hours and go up from there. I like the extensive menu because it assures me there is something for everyone. My non-fruit eater daughter LOVED her chocolate chip waffle, explaining between chocolaty bites that she could eat this all day and all night. And I believe her. My son and I shared the spinach, bacon and cheese omelet and had upgraded our accompanying buttermilk pancakes to banana ones with whipped cream. The omelet was not bad, but I was very pleasantly surprised how yummy the pancakes were. There are three delicious syrups on every table: maple, guava, and coconut. It's a great breakfast option if you are already in the area.

    AVOID THIS PLACE. They charge you before you get your meal after waiting in a long line.This is a great scam because by now you've invested so much time you get your wallet out. It looks like a little mom-and-pop place which is refreshing with all the corporate restaurants in Hawaii. Turns out this is a corporate mom and pop looking place kind of like the happy cows standing in lush pastures as seen on milk and cheese packages where the animals are actually crammed in unlit, unheated sheds. The food is expensive and worse than the worst coffee shops and you will find yourself later thinking "why did we do that?" Don't.

    I had been craving some breakfast for dinner so we decided to try this place out and it ended up being pretty good! The potatoes were amazing and the omelette was just okay, it didn't have much taste to it even with the over load of salt/pepper. The waitress and gentlemen who took our payment were friendly, I would catch myself here again but maybe try something else next time instead. Very casual, I wouldn't expect too much from this joint.

    It is considerable therefore considerataly a tourist trap. I have read much about the coconut syrup. Candidly, it's processed coconut milk. Although to be said, fairly sweet without added sugar, I still think it's from canned product. I had my first Loco Moco here. It is what I'd expected. Hamburger meat on rice, two sunny side up eggs and pouring of gravy. Good. The service is sincerely helpful and patient with the many japanese tourists.

    I stumbled upon this place and was glad I did! Ordered the Hawaiian Loco Moco and I have one word for this dish -WOW! Gave the tastebuds a treat! I would have shared a pic but I was too busy enjoying it, sorry!

    DON'T COME HERE!!!!! Waited 45 minutes with my party of five, bought a sandwich for my 4 year old during the wait. They wouldn't let my four year old in because he was eating a sandwich. Fine, so one of the adults stayed outside so my child could finish his sandwich. When we sat down inside, the wouldn't let us keep our table because two of our party were outside so my child could finish his sandwich. They would have been done in 5 minutes. Nope. They wouldnt allow us to stay at the table, even if we ordered food for 5 people. We said our other two members would be in really soon. They said they would have to move us to a 3 person table and the two people outside would have to wait all over again. What kind of logic is that? After waiting 45 minutes all we wanted to do was order food and they wouldn't let us because of their logic is that we must have all 5 members at the table to order food for 5 people. Seriously i can't believe how bad my experience was. IN RESPONSE TO YOUR COMPANY RESPONSE: All members of my party were indeed present after waiting for 45 minutes, however your establishment would not allow my 4 year old to finish his half eaten pbj sandwich inside the restaurant. Fine, we wanted to let him finish eating it outside with his mother while the rest of our party ordered food for five people. I clearly stated we would order food for five people, and my toddler would be back inside in a couple minutes. Your restaurant said we would have to wait in line if not all members were present. ALL MEMBERS WERE PRESENT BUT YOU SENT THEM OUTSIDE. They would return in 2 minutes! Your lack of understanding and compassion shows that you are not a mom and pop restaurant. You're a nasty corporation and the only reason you get customers is because the other chain locations must uphold a much better reputation than your Waikiki location. Your employees are mindless fools that can't think for themselves. Your managers are uncaring because there are few breakfast choices close to the hotels in Waikiki so you get customers no matter how poorly you perform. I hope people read yelp reviews and don't come to your restaurant. You don't have to worry though because many other foreign tourists will still come. Your lack of service is extremely unprofessional and your concerns for customer satisfaction are seriously lacking.

    The restaurant is upstairs above a market/bakery. Pretty cramped, but don't let that keep you from going! I got 2 eggs with Portuguese sausage and a short stack of banana macadamia nut pancakes (try that with the coconut syrup! And don't forget the whipped cream!). They actually drop slices of bananas in the pancakes while they cook them, so you get banana in most bites. My wife got an omelette with a short stack of banana mac nut pancakes and said it was all very good. Our daughter got the banana 'no mac nut' pancakes and really enjoyed them, too. Give this place a go, your tummy and taste buds will thank you. (And walk here, so you can work some of the tasty calories off on your way back. ;-) )

    Crowded little spot that serves breakfast all day (my dream restaurant). I had the turkey bacon, tomato, and cheese omelette with a side of home fries and a banana whip smoothie. The food was good and the atmosphere was alright. The service could maybe use a tweak as far as manners/kindness but overall it was a fairly well priced breakfast all-day-long spot. I highly recommend the home fried potatoes... They were perfectly seasoned & the salsa on the side was a great addition!

    Ok, we've heard about Eggs an Things forever and decided to give it a whirl. Took the Uber over to avoid the parking which is always an issue in Waikiki. Arrived to a 10 minute wait, not bad since was a nice day. I ordered the Corned Beef Hash and Eggs with Wheat toast. Wifey ordered the Macadamia Nut Pancakes with side of Link Sausage. My Eggs were done ok, the Corned Beef was the kind out of the can and the cubed Potatoes were pretty good. Her Pancakes were very good and she loved the Sausage. The only downside was this place is expensive. I've never ordered an egg breakfast and been charged $2.25 for a cup of coffee and $2.45 for toast. Overall decent breakfast, just hate getting hosed like that. Won't return.

    I cannot convey how much I love Eggs 'n Things! It used to be the place to go after a night of drinking and dancing, years ago. Now, it's where I go for breakfast during staycations downtown. Their service is impeccable, the food hearty and fast, and the wait times aren't so bad when you calculate people watching and a to go cafe downstairs. There is an open air environment and the prices are very good for the amount of food you get. More than anything I love the ambiance of a small cafe staffed with servers who have and share thier personalities. I've never had a meal that I didn't enjoy at Eggs 'n Things. I recommend it to anyone that lives here and especially those folks who are visiting.

  • Victoria J.

    Eggs 'n Things gets points for their great service and attempt at an interesting menu, but that's about where it ended for me. The food was pretty disappointing and I was embarrassed to have taken my boyfriend and his mother here because she cares about food quality and taste. The omelet special had a very weird texture to the eggs and they were even shiny--I've never quite seen eggs like the ones they served here. The pancakes were just soso and I would recommend Liliha Bakery's pancakes over Eggs 'n Things. Also, The french toast wasn't anything special and the best thing about it was the plating, piled high with whipped cream. Like I said before, the service was excellent, but the food is not worth it. Especially if there is a line. We're lucky enough to be morning people so we were there early enough to beat the line, but I would have been even more insulted by the food if we had to wait for it.

  • Ev S.

    It's our first time here and the gentlemen by the name of Chris was rude and not friendly at all. Considering that there are many tourist, you would think a warm welcome would be nice! Nope, he had to make sure the other 2 people were coming or right behind me. Poor customer service by Chris, very bad considering he is the first person you see. I asked him how far we were from the list and didn't really have an answer, pretty pathetic if you ask me. So now a few people have been seated ahead of us, why?? I don't know. Now for the food... To be continued...

  • Rene C.

    Not a good experience for us in this places, we waited 50 minutes to be seated at a little tiny rail, not a biggie, service was slow to the point that our food came faster than our drinks, food was mediocre, lack of flavor and the fruit bowl besides the pineapples not really local fruits to it. Not a good first experience and mostly sure we won't be coming back

    (Visit Saturday, 05/02/15) Our first time eating at Eggs 'n Things. When we got there around 9:30am, we were told a 45min wait when we signed in. Although, we only waited about 30min. Once we were seated, it took a while before our orders was taken. The dining area is upstairs and it wasn't big. I thinking they only had 3 waiters/waitress. We received our meals in a timely matter and everything was good from there. Food was great. I'm glad they serve Portuguese Sausages. They have good corn beef hash. It wasn't greasy or overcooked. The pancakes were good and pluffy. My daughter was a bit disappointed with the banana crepe. It didn't have any chocolate. If you plan to eat here, be patient. Don't come here too hungry. Expect to wait a little.

    So I came here this morning. ...came here around 6 am and we were able to get seated right away. They sat us up stairs and it was a nice cozy place. The staff was friendly and our waitress Paula was very nice. I ordered the scrambled eggs with spam and green onions with banana pancakes and to drink the call it POG ( passion, orange and guava juice). the food portion is huge. And very good! The juice was very good and fresh. I have had this place on my radar for a while and I was not disappointed. I will definitely come back and order something else.

    This place needs more stars! Best pancakes I have had in my life. Lovely local place that is a wonderful escape from the relentless tourist traps and Wyndham timeshare pitches. This was our first introduction to coconut syrup, and it was a revelation! Really wish we had one of these places in the DC area!

  • Johnny C.

    Pancake nazis. Even if you're missing one person from the party then its back to the waiting area to you. I understand, but it still comes off as harsh. We got the coconut waffles, fresh pineapple, guava juice, and of course eggs. Good sized portions and strong coffee.

  • Jan M.

    Food is exactly what I was looking for - with a local flair not tailored for the tourist. Probably a little pricey for the local? Breakfast for 1 was $21 with out tip - omelet ( the special - Portuguese sausage, green onion, and cheese with 3 large fluffy pancakes, the local juice made from the island fruit - lilikoi and bottomless cup of coffee) my waitress was more than efficient and friendly and all of her suggestions proved spot on. Coffee to go with a tip of $4 to roundup to $25 breakfast - pricey but worth it. The coconut syrup for the pancakes? A must.

  • Veronica D.

    STAY AWAY. Don't be like the other people waiting in line for hours, as this place is nothing to anticipate but a fake family restaurant. The line is unbearable whilst sporting a poor seating area In the humid environment. 'Eggs 'n Things' boasts an overpriced menu with underpriced ingredients, as the food may be delicious- don't be fooled. It's more or less a simple tourist trap, though the original independent restaurant was certainly something to look forward to as a friendly breakfast output. The corporate sham is what it is now.

    We were on the hunt for some other place to eat Breakfast but we never found it, turns out it was in a Hotel but anyways we decided to park at the Post Office & we seen Eggs n' Things & thought....it must be good, there's lots of people waiting. So we decided to check out the Menu & soon after we were racing to the Check In Counter ( which is downstairs in the gift shop) we waited no more than 30 minutes before our pager went off.......the Service was GREAT. They organization of the madness of this busy restaurant was PERFECT. They are on top of every order, every customer & every table. GREAT JOB! The food is AMAZING...........so flavorful & I am in love with the Coconut Syrup. This will for sure be our GO TO SPOT for Breakfast next time in Waikiki.

  • Cat B.

    We ate at Eggs n' Things twice during our five day stay in Oahu. That should tell you something right? Oh yes, the banana pancakes lived up to its famous reputation. Sing it for me Jack! The coconut syrup on top of my banana pancakes made it one of the best breakfasts I've had...ever. I love that it tasted like real coconut and not coconut-flavored syrup. There's a huge difference. Thank goodness I'm a nosey eater and peeked at all the orders coming out of the kitchen or else I would have missed out on the Hawaiian fried rice (giant portion could easily have fed my kids and I). The second time I ordered it, I took half of it to go...and right onto a plane heading back to the mainland. So much better than plane food even at room temperature. My only regret was not trying more entrees but hopefully, next time will come around sooner than later. It's been weeks but my daughter and I still reminisce about those pancakes and that syrup!

    The eggs!!! OMG... the eggs... I had the benedict, and I fell in love twice: 1. The yolk oozed and ran down the components - coating everything in its gold halo. 2. When my knife reached the bottom, I heard a distinctly "crack" as the perfectly toasted english muffin gave way. Heaven. To say that the breakfast was delicious is an understatement. From the amazing cup of coffee to the amazing benedict to the pineapple pancakes... And yes, I was alone for this breakfast. Don't judge. The pineapple pancakes were amazing!!! Don't skimp out and go for the whipped cream and nuts! Your body may hate you for it, but you'll love every sinful bite.

    Line out the door. You order at one area, then pay in another, then get seated. I had the crab cake eggs benadict. It was o.k. My mom had something with the Portuguese sausage. It was o.k. This place is alright but not amazing.

  • Milet F.

    Gave it 3-stars coz of friendly service. Special Sweet Bread French Toast....just okay. Overwhelming whipped cream on top and thawed out blueberries and chopped macadamia nuts supposed to make it "special". Coconut syrup is okay too (I love coconut!) Go for pancakes, yum! Go to Heavenly for amazing Honey French Toast with Tropical Fruits! Had it twice already :p

  • Ben Y.

    This is a pretty well known breakfast place in Hawaii and I was really looking forward to trying it. Overall, I thought it was maybe a little above average. There is a large array of specialty pancakes as well as your standard breakfast items like corned beef hash, sausages, omelets etc. Here's the thing, you can't really mess up breakfast food. Eggs, sausage, bacon....it's pretty hard to make those things NOT delicious so I was rather disappointed when the food was just meh. The one thing that was outstanding was the pancakes, they are really fluffy and come with coconut as well as guava syrup.

  • Diane S.

    Visited this location twice while we were on vacation. Things I tried: Eggs Benedict, macadamia nut pancakes, regular pancakes, ahi and eggs, Portuguese sausage omelet. Everything was amazing!! The coconut syrup was to die for. Can be a long wait if you're not there early, but well worth it.

    LOVED THEIR SPAM AND EGGS! Overall the breakfast was amazing! Waited in line for 25 mins or so. They take your order at the door, you pay, then wait to be seated.

    We consistently have amazing experiences dining at the Saratoga Eggs 'n Things. Every time we go, we always receive amazing service from "Harold." He seems to read our minds! He knows exactly what we like and always recommends something new and tasty. He takes care of my kids like his own and does all the little things that shows he cares and knows how to take care of kids. I'm sure he is a great Dad! My favorite dish is the fried rice. It's really scrumptious with all the different ingredients they put in it. The Portuguese sausage is so good too! We always get a side order. The pancakes and waffles are delicious too. The omelettes are obvious great as well. Be careful, the portions are huge. You definitely get your moneys worth here.

    I was very hesitant to go here but I'm really glad my friends gave me no choice. I had the Hawaiian Moco Loco and loved every bit of it. And I plan to come back here before I go back to home for another plate of it! Friends all enjoyed the Portuguese sausage n eggs. Service - Food -

  • Dana K.

    It's time to be honest. They should change the name. First time here (yeah. I'm embarrassed about how long it took me to venture downtown and go... hate crowds. blech). Expect menu to read ... "eggs and abc" "eggs and xyz" "eggs and abc with a side of lmnop".... whatever. Menu reads more of "pancake house with some eggs" Ok. Well, that's fine. I like pancakes. My kids like pancakes. We like pancakes. Cool. Get some pancakes. Get some sweet bread french toast. Get some bacon and eggs. Looks good. (never mind the 45 minute wait for a table, it IS Sunday morning after church time. Never mind the small table crammed in the corner that would barely seat one, but is currently seating myself and my two boys. Never mind the sticky syrup on the table, the stools beside the table that are serving as extra table space... nope never mind that. I'm DAMM excited for these pancakes) Breakfast feast arrives. Chocochip pancakes for the little one. Mostly chocolate, a little "cake" a TON of butter, swimming in awesome. Good start. Blueberry waffle for the big one. He asked for no mac nuts. They're all over the thing. Oh well, they're chopped and essentially tasteless. I tell him if he really does NOT like them, we'll get it fixed. Surprise! With the whipped cream, tangy sweet berries and syrup... he likes the crunch! two for two! (although the berries are shriveled and small, leaking deep purple juice everywhere, a CLEAR indication that they are frozen). Sweet bread French toast is... well, French toast. IT's not like it's bad, but I make better at home. The sweet bread isn't even noticeable in there, the cinnamon is barely making an appearance, and it's kinda chewy/soggy instead of light with a crispy crust. Maybe I'm spoiled from years of amazing toast lol. It's possible. The bacon isn't anything to rave about. It's bacon. We ate it. The eggs though... Oh, the eggs. We got a couple scrambled. Now. Just for clarification... the name of this place is EGGS n things. E.G.G.S. So, I was expecting some serious egg business. Nah. The scrambled eggs are better at the golden arches. These were dry, flavorless, and just sad. I'm pretty sure they weren't whole eggs. Think they were that liquid egg goop that places like fast food, cheap diners, and drive-thrus use. So disappointed. Those pancakes though. ... Bought a bag of mix to go home and replicate them. No joke. THAT good. Saved the whole review with those pancakes. Oh, and our server was the sweetest thing since their homemade coconut syrup (yep, took a bottle of that home too).

    The location is very convenient for anyone staying in Waikiki. I would recommend going as early in the day as possible. I had the spinach mushroom omelette. It was alright. Nothing spectacular. A few of my friends had gotten pancakes which had coconut syrup which looked amazing. It's mainly good for its location and the view from the restaurant. Other than that I would recommend going elsewhere for a phenomenal breakfast in Honolulu.

    Food poisoning incident today!!! avoid this restaurant!!! disgusting!!!!!! We ordered the today's special omelette that had Portuguese sausage, spinach, tomatoes, & mozzarella cheese. The first bite I took tasted off..I should have known & told the fiancé not to eat it. However, I tried it again, & it didn't really taste funny... My fiancé finished it, & hours later, he could not leave the bathroom because he was so sick. I feel terrible!!! He has taken medicine & has been resting but still does not feel well enough to even get up to go eat dinner. Poor thing. Do not eat here. It is definitely not worth it!! Yuckkkkk

    Went there cus I always see a lineup every time I passed by. I am always willing to try a place at least once. Waited for about 30 mins to get a table. The staff was very nice and the food came in quick. I had pineapple pork chops which wasn't too bad but to be honest I've had better places for breakfast. I don't think I would come back again just waiting in line alone is a turn off for me. I value my time.

  • Chris S.

    Welcome to the tourist trap of Oahu! First glimpse of Eggs n Things shows tourists from all over the planet taking photos in front of this place, standing in line to get a pager to be seated and reading one of the many local tourist publications that list this as the best breakfast on the island. It's marketing at its finest. Pay for an ad in the publication and get promoted. The food is is good, but not worth the minimum 30 minute wait that ensues. And, if you aren't staying nearby, in walking distance, there's almost no free parking. You can park across the street in the post office lot, for $7. The service is fair and friendly as they are bombarded with tourists that expect it. Don't get me wrong, the breakfast here is good and the portions are large, but it's overpriced, which is common in this area, and the quality isn't much different than a diner. What makes eyes glow here is presentation. The owners have established dishes that look wonderful and are appealing to the eye, and if you're a tourist who normally eats at places like Chilis, Applebees and Fridays, or even IHOP, you'll rave about this place. However, if good ingredients are tops on your list quality food expect to leave here full, but not ecstatic. My strawberry pancakes looked wonderful from afar, but at first stab of the knife they tasted no different than Dennys and the strawberries used were the same canned and slushy ones you find in the dessert section of cafeterias, not the fresh stuff you'd expect from the "best breakfast on the island." In addition, my omelet was huge sure, but the Portuguese sausage tasted like it had just been thawed, rather than freshly cut. My buddies bacon and eggs, tasted like that you'd get at any hotel on the island. We left wondering why we drove 30 minutes for a breakfast the tourist magazines said we'd never forget and wasted 2 hours of our day between waiting to be seated, parking and eating.

    No A/C and plates seem incomplete as far as what they put on them. A lot of the times you have to order sides which you obviously have to pay extra for. Our waitress was very nice but the cashier wasn't as friendly. A few birds were walking around on the floor and some would pick at the food on the tables when people would get up and leave.

    Loved this place! We ordered the Hawaiian Set B and it was amazzzzzing! The Hawaiian Set had the Hawaiian Loco Moco (beef party, Portuguese sausage, rice, mushrooms, onions) and 3 pancakes (pineapple, coconut, & macadamia nut with a huge amount of whipped cream). All of it was delicious! Even splitting between the two of us, we had some left over to take back to our hotel so we can enjoy it again tomorrow. Our server Nani was great too! Very fast!

    Great bfast and the price for Hawaii was reasonable. Only problem is it is tight here. Seating is small and close. The food didn't take long to come so that always helps when you're uncomfortable sitting. If you're in Honolulu, you should make this a stop for bfast.

  • Philip L.

    I used to love coming here in prior years, but I can say I was sorely disappointed by the quality of the food. As always, though the service is warm and efficient. the omelette does not seem to taste like eggs, but plastic. i would guess maybe the eggs are not beaten fresh and just provided by a third party or left to sit around in the beaten state for too long. it was tough and flavorless. not only was the texture plastic, but the ingredients for the special (spinach, portuguese sausage, tomatoes) lacked flavor as well. crime of all crimes: the pancakes were a bit tough, but at least there were three syrups to cover it up (guava, maple, and coconut). i did appreciate the minced macadamia nuts--that was nice. and the french toast special was very tough and protein-y. covered with copius whipped cream, cherries, and coconut flakes, it was intriguing. but for a better experience, i might suggest the plain sweet bread french toast instead if you want something fluffier and $2 less expensive. the potatoes and strong black coffee were good. i was a bit upset that the eggs--as it is in the name of the restaurant--were not more magical i know a ton of tourists come here--but it felt like we were all being taken advantage a bit. while there was no line at 630 am, i cannot recommend eggs and things for now. we ordered smart and it still came out to $35 for two. if you're not carefful and order a $27 set menu item--it could come out to $60 or two. for breakfast. for plastic omelettes and tough pancakes. i never try to ding a place and leave our fellow yelpers stranded without recommending other better places, but liliha bakery pancakes are amazing. better than really anywhere on the mainland and equal to dupars in los angeles. and the brunch is certainly better at highway inn in terms of tasty food quality.

    This is a great place to grab breakfast. I love how they are open at 6am, which is perfect when tours begin at 7am. This is another restaurant where the dining area is on the 2nd floor. After climbing the stairs, i noticed there were a lot of tables fairly closed together. Looking at the menu, I went with the mac nut pancakes. My husband ordered the eggs Benedict. We had to wait about 10 minutes for our food. The pancakes were super fluffy and tasty. I loved how there was mac nut sprinkled on top. I tried all 3 syrups (maple, guava, and coconut), and i highly reccommend the coconut one. My husband enjoyed his eggs Benedict. Service was pretty good here,too.

    This review is based on a sample size of two visits over a two year period. Harold, our server both times (as we found out later doubled as the Manager in Duty), completely lacked the compassion and common courtesy that is to be expected at a restaurant establishment. The skinny: Our food came out and my wife put ketchup over half of her omelet. After one bite, she knew right away that the ketchup was spoiled. It seems as if they just pour new ketchup on top of the older ketchup on the bottom (industry no-no). Once we alerted Harold, he never once apologized or acknowledged the food safety hazard that could result from eating spoiled ketchup. His demeanor never changed and he simply just picked up the plate and said that he'd get her a new one. In other words, he didn't act shocked. They should have comp'ed the omelet but instead, replaced it. When he dropped it, my wife asked, "will this new ketchup be better or should I check again to see if it's spoiled." His reply was "maybe you should put some off to the side of your plate and check before you put it on your food." Then he left the table. Not once did he pick up our dirty plates from the table, not once did he offer us refills, nor did his facial expression ever change from indifferent to partially annoyed. His boss Edwin and another server Paula did come to our aid. Edwin, did go out of his way to apologize (something Harold never did) and to give us a free dinner certificate. I have a feeling, Harold has gotten plenty of complaints in the past but due to his tenureship, he remains on staff in a leadership position. Eggs & Things Ala Moana is usually our go-to, but on this occasion we didn't want to drive for breakfast. This location is only a block away from our home. I'd rather go out of my way to eat there where the service is outstanding then to subject myself and my wife to utterly poor standards.

    I wish I could add to all the hype. Not so much. Everything a bit overpriced. Egg scramble very greasy. The potatoes were cold and over seasoned. Cold toast already buttered. Just not a great experience. Too bad great location.

    Buttermilk pancakes here were really good. Price was also resonance for the Waikiki. About 10 dollars a plate.

    Beware: not recommended with those with food allergies and vegetarians. This seems to be a chain restaurant, and we'd seen them all around Waikiki. There was always a line coming out the door so Jamie and I went here for breakfast one late morning. We were a little disappointed by the way the ordering process worked, but I can understand that rent is expensive so I didn't dock any stars for it; you order at the host stand, are given a buzzer and receipt to pay for your meal and stand in a line to be seated. I didn't find the quality of food here to justify the wait outside, which was only about 30 minutes around 11am. It was okay, but I've definitely made better pancakes at home. The food 3-star. The prices aren't outrageous, about what I'd expect to pay for a sit down breakfast in a touristy city. The big pitfall is the service. We were given 2 small cups plastic disposable cups for water, and the server was nice enough to suggest leaving an entire pitcher of water so we could refill with. Our food was brought out and our buzzer was taken off the table, the food was served on paper plates and we were given plastic silverware to eat with.. Eh. Not only does this restaurant not provide sit down-quality breakfasts, it doesn't provide sit-down quality service either. It was worse than "poor" but that's how the restaurant is set up. I couldn't bring myself to tip more than a few dollars (even as a server) as it reminded me of a fast food joint.

    Pancakes are good and all of their syrup selections. But can't give it more stars bc I'd be lying. Also the omelettes had this weird shiny coating that made it too distracting to be enjoyable. If you're a tourist I'd say go somewhere else.

    Heard about the macadamia nut pancakes all week and finally had to check it out for ourselves. They were....decent. Really nothing special. Pancakes with sliced bananas, whipped cream and macadamia nuts sprinkled on top. Again, pretty good but nothing special either. My wife's eggs Benedict florentine was much better. Overall the place was pretty good. Service was good and on time.

    A fun local place to have pancakes. Get there early to beat the crowds. We had the coconut pancakes, pineapple whipped cream pancakes and Portuguese sausage. Everything was yummy. Also had a refreshing iced coffee. We sat on these bar stools - not very comfortable, but had fun watching the scenery and the tourist activity out front. The gift shop downstairs is a little pricey but still fun. We will definitely be back to this one next time we are in Waikiki.

  • Ed A.

    This place is simply amazing. Nice walk from anywhere in Waikiki. The Pancakes are to die for. The eggs are a deep yellow. Simply amazing and not expensive either.. Just a great place and a mandatory stop to eat...just go and let your taste buds be amazed.

    Had the pineapple pancakes ($12.95) and they were to die for! Try the coconut syrup and guava syrup yummy! I thought it was a bit expensive for breakfast but it's actually 6 large pancakes so definitely split it with someone. My husband had the Hawaiian delight ($6.95) papaya filled with fruits and whip creme. It was very good but a small portion better fit for a light breakfast. They do charge you for to-go cups so if you pay for a drink make sure you drink it all!

  • Preeti M.

    Wonderful service, and give it five stars (our waitress was lovely older lady). Plus the busser not only cleaned out plates quickly but wiped the table down properly. Yay for unsticky tabletops! The food was standard tasting breakfast fare at any brunch spot. If you go brunch that's more than a Denny's/IHOP, you will be disappointed. The omelette was fine, the macadamia nut pancakes were okay, and yes with the coconut syrup it tasted better, and the brew coffee was average. Nothing special at all. Latte was awful, don't do the espresso drinks. The acai berry granola was pretty good though.

    This was one of the first restaurants I ever ate at when visiting Hawaii; since Yelp was not around at that time; I could not review it. Finally another visit; and took about 15-20 min to get seated. Lots of choices! This time around I ordered a veggie omelette with Portuguese sausage and pancakes. It was good - you can obviously tell the eggs are of great quality. the Mr. agreed about the eggs too. He ordered the links and sunny side eggs and rice. Pancakes are thick and very fluffy! Just got the reg buttermilk pancakes - but that syrup does it though! I'm not much of a coconut person, but that syrup is so licking good! Mix it with the other guava syrup and it so good - not as sweet as you would think. Be willing to wait a while to eat here. Make sure you check in and while you wait - they hand you a menu so you can know exactly whAt you want. If you can get a chance to eat outside on the counter - do it! I've done both but if you at the counter you can obviously take in the view. This is a tourist trap; and cool that I actually saw the eggs n things while visiting Japan! This location is not at busy at the downtown waikiki location.

    What an absolutely awesome experience this was. My wife and I are on our HoneyMoon, and this place was recommended to us from a good friend. We took the advice, and it was well worth it. Not only was the food amazing, but the wait staff was top notch. Harold was the absolute best. He even threw in his personal recommendations on the best things to do/eat while we're visiting Oahu. Thanks Harold. We're definitely coming back to this awesome breakfast stop. The breakfast specials are very large portions. Come hungry, or be ready to split it. Otherwise, you'll have to deal with delicious leftovers (oh darn).

    Best thing I can say for this overpriced place is the orange juice... that alone is 5 stars. I think the last time I went here, 2 slices of spam will cost you about 4 dollars. If you're a fanatic for breakfast food you'll probably dig the atmosphere, eggs, and things, but in reality you're just a damn hipster that'll overpay for designer omelettes and ripped jeans.

    OMG Banana Crepe!!! This crepe was totally worth the 40 minute wait to get in the door. The crepe wasn't your ol' everyday crepe, no. This crepe was crispy on the outside... almost caramelized on the edges. And it wasn't just one crepe, it was three. I ate it all and savored the amazingness of this crepe creation. The service here was awesome too. The atmosphere was was quick but not rushed, while still being friendly. Go here and eat a crepe.

    This place is TERRIBLY overrated. I really don't understand how such rubbery pancakes could be touted as divine or heavenly. The syrups are icky sweet. Not really helping the cause --- and just further accentuates the sad quality of the grub. The omlettes were dry. I had the eggs benedict --- and it was probably the best of the lot that was ordered. Seriously, folks. The hour-plus wait on the weekends is RIDICULOUS for the quality of food you're getting. PASS!

    What can I say...I was a little hesitant to try it because of some of the negative reviews...but let me put your mind at ease. This place was great! Even though we didn't go with 5star expectations, since it is a small place, and in the heart of Waikiki, I feel that my entire family enjoyed a 5star experience. They are amazing even though they are busy. You'll get great food without making you feel rushed out. Some of my favorite things were the macadamia pancakes (nuts cooked throughout, not just sprinkled on top), and this surprised me because I'm just not a pancake person. I'll eat buckwheat pancakes occasionally. The coconut and guava syrup was beyond description, so delicious! My entire party drooled over their home style fried potatoes. Perfectly crispy on the outside, and melt in your mouth inside. We don't usually all like omelets because they can be dry or just too eggy, however these were amazing. Super thin moist egg blanketed a jumbo sized portion filling. The first time we ate there we all ordered individually and came back to our hotel with left over's. The next 2 times we all split. My husband and I ate and loved the turkey bacon, potato and cheese omelete and upgraded to mac pancakes. I guess I was disappointed with people saying that this was overrated. I can tell you I am a regular of IHOP and have not had food like this. The prices were reasonable ($9 - $12) albeit in Waikiki, and yes there is a wait, and yes you have to walk up some stairs...but come on people, you experience this anywhere you go. Okay, I have to mention we had fun meeting people from all over the world, taking pics with their pancakes and talking about the different places they've been or were planning to go. This place felt like home. I hope you get to meet Ken, he is very nice and our server was Pauline (I think...oops), beautiful smile and I always had a full cup of coffee.

    we yelped for yummy breakfast spots whilst in hawaii, found this, god bless yelp! quite possibly the best pancakes anywhere, the nicest staff, and an all-around awesome experience. get anything that involves pancakes and portuguese sausage, and you'll be happy for the rest of the year! a word to the wise: get there early. really early. we were there at 815am, and there was a 20 minute wait. on a wednesday. it's worth it to just get up early and find your way there asap.

    Be prepared to wait since it's a very popular place for tourists like me, but the food was worth the wait. Portions are more than enough. My gf and I split the meal and it was still too much. We ordered one of their specials that day, Island fried rice with two eggs. Some of the best fried rice I've ever had, it had a little bit of everything in it; bacon, sausage, crab, spam and veggies. Their Portuguese sausage was delicious and their macadamia nut pancakes were even better. It was just an awesome breakfast. Just sucked that we had to pay .75 cents for a to-go box, but other than that it was great. A place I'll be back to eat again.

    I love the ambiance of Eggs 'n Things, somehow, waiting 40 minutes for my brunch makes the food even more appealing and satisfying. My friend and I arrived around 10:30 (pretty good timing). We had a hard time deciding what to get because everything on the menu seemed appetizing! I finally decided on the mushroom and spinach omelette with a side of pancakes while my friend got the ham and cheese omelette with pancakes as well. When the food came in briefly after being seated, I was surprised at how generous the portions were. I love food, and succumb to indulging every and now and then. I was happy to find that the pancakes were big and fluffy. It tasted amazing with the coconut syrup! The omelette was OK. Nothing special, but not bad either. The eggs tasted like nothing and it needed a lot of ketchup and pepper to liven up the blandness. Overall, a delightful experience, I'll definitely be back with some family members. EDIT: Forgot to mention that the workers seemed too busy to offer refills.

    Yummy breakfast place! Good coffee, lots of great options for food. My husband got the macadamia nut pancakes and I got the blueberry pancakes. The waiter was so helpful and kind, as well. We wanted pancakes with some eggs and bacon as well, and he helped us figure out the cheapest route with the right amount of food. The only negative was the long wait, but that just goes to show you the quality! My favorite part of the whole meal was the coconut syrup....DELISH.

  • Pauline L.

    First time having a banana and coconut combination for breakfast. When in Hawai'i, eat as the locals do because that stuff is GOOD. I gobbled up every morsel of my banana & nuts whipped cream cake (which sounds indulgently more like dessert than breakfast). Top it all off with some coconut syrup and you've got a meal that will jolt you for the rest of your day! For some reason I thought Spam would taste different in Hawai'i, so I had a side of spam... which tasted like spam. Still yummy! The fiance ordered a Portuguese Sausage omelette, which wasn't as fluffy as we'd thought considering the name of the restaurant. I don't know why they give you reading material with a set of instructions to get seated. The first floor is really just a gift shop and wait list. The real grub is upstairs! We had a nice window seat on the outside patio. Get there early to beat the Japanese tourists congregating in the front (there's a reason why the backside menu is in Japanese...).

    My all-time favorite breakfast spot in Hawaii. If you are unsure of what to get, I'd highly recommend the Sweet Bread French Toast. It is the reason I go to Hawaii. Personally, I like the old location better than the new. More authentic ambiance inside. Oh, and the hours were better too.

    Nothing special really a typical touristy breakfast spot with loads of Japanese tourist visiting the Islands ETC. The typically waiting time for a table for 2 is about 45 minutes or more anytime of the day it seems. We had our breakfast dining experience about 2-3 times during our last visit this March. The location is very convenient if nothing else. we can walk to the restaurant from our hotel Luana Waikiki Hotel which also has a great breakfast & light lunch fare called Protea Café. I'm quite the coffee addict so I had to have my morning caffeine rush by walking over to the Kimo Bean Coffee House which is a few feet away from Eggs N Things just about everyday of our stay. Leisurely sitting there enjoying a great cup of coffee & waiting to be seated. One of the guy waiter's there was pretty sour and seemed very unhappy with his job and it showed. There is one older lady who was absolutely wonderful and made our eating, dining experience just so much more memorable and would go back just because of her. Food is good but they need to cook with less oil on everything. At least try it once if you're in Waikiki and write your own review afterwards.

  • Kristina C.

    What is that huge line of Japanese people for??? I forgot how I heard about this place but I was told that I had to try it. I then walked by it to find a huge line of Japanese people. I think to myself, the Japanese are responsible for sushi, and sushi is amazing, this place must be worth trying. I was right. We waited forever, honestly I think for an hour but when we finally got seated I was ready to eat! Of course I order with my eyes and get the macadamia nut waffle, the spam and green onion omelet and corn beef hash. The macadamia nut waffle was amazing! I didn't even use syrup although they had coconut, guava, and maple to choose from. The waffle was thin and crispy on the outside and just pure goodness on the inside. Crunchy bits of macadamia nuts sprinkled on top with powdered sugar...delicious. I realize that most people rave about the pancakes but I hate pancakes so being a self coined waffle expert, this place gets two thumbs up! The spam and green onion omelet was good too although anything with spam I think is good. The eggs were fluffy and the omelet was big...I only got through a 1/4 of it. The corn beef hash was exactly that, corn beef hash. It was what I expected which I can't complain about. I think this place has great service and great food. I don't think I would wait in line like that again but if the wait is short you should definitely try it!

    One of those places where you must try once in Hawaii.. because of that the lines are ridiculously long. The wait wasn't too bad however.. about 15-20 min. Once we were squished into our teeny tiny table on the balcony the waiter came by to take our order. Heres my opinion..Just stick with their macadamia pancakes. I made the mistake of getting the eggs benedict. Wasn't very tasty. Their pancakes though... wow.. I actually didn't count how many stacks came out but they are delicious and very very filling. I wasn't a big fan of the guava syrup or the coconut syrup so stick with good old maple.

    Every time I've visited Oahu we've had to stop at Eggs N Things!! It's like a Hawaiian Style Breakfast/Diner. YUMMM: Macadamia Nut Pancakes and the coconut syrup are freaking amazing! My mouth is watering just thinking about it. The Portuguese Sausage, over medium eggs, and rice is my other favorite dish here. In one sitting I had all of this...but shared of course! Ehhh: Service was ok...I think the waitress we had was really busy...but still. We actually ate here for dinner because any time before lunch it is super busy. It was about 8pm and we waited only about 10 minutes. The wait time in the morning could get up to 90 minutes. Crazy! Great food, ok service, good prices. I would definitely come here again for those pancakes and sausages!

  • Shirin M.

    Kind of a let down. I am sure this place was much better before it became a tourist trap. The line/wait is too long for the actual experience. I can't say the food was bad, but everything costs more than it should (i.e. $9 for spam and eggs) and we kind of felt like it was a bunch of hype. If you are going to go, I suggest getting the pancakes. Those are really good! Other than that, you can spend an hour more wisely; not waiting in line.

    This place gets busy, so get there early. I tried the macadamia nut pancakes and they were amazing. I highly suggest them. Had a taste of some friends' ahi and loved it as well. I'm not an ahi fan, but this tasted great. Served by Harold and he made sure everything was on point. He was attentive and even gave us a list of local food spots to hit. It was my 6th time back in Hawaii and it's always great to find new places!

    tastewise, i will prefer going to ihop. really cannoy understand why people recommend this place and the long waiting line. whats worse is the terrible service. no server talk to us within 5 mins after we sit down after a long waiting. the server is rude. when u check out, the cashier dare to ask to 15% tip. how can that be. i wish i will give a penny tips for my experience here. wont be here next time. and dont be here. not worthy for ur time money.

    I've been reading past reviews of this place, and its funny how some people's pancakes were a little rubber-y. That's quite unfortunate, because the pancakes I had were really good. It was soft, chewy, and delicious with the whipped cream and strawberries. I also had the Portuguese sausage, green onion and scrambled eggs. Overall it wasn't anything special, I was hoping for more flavor from the sausage. The eggs were good, but nothing too special. I give this place three stars because you have to wait for up to an hour for an okay dining experience. The staff is friendly, so if you're ever in the area, give it a try. I like the pancakes. (Strawberry and whipped cream :)

    Really good breakfast places aren't always easy to find... so, thanks Yelp. This was the first meal I ate in Hawaii, the day after we landed late at night and walked over here for breakfast. When we got there there was a gaggle of Japanese tourists waiting in front of us (is there some reason they all seem to know this place?), and so we put our name down and waited outside. When they finally called our name, we went upstairs and sat at the counter that faced out into the street, which was nice with the weather. I was so torn over what to order since everything looked so good. I was actually planning on ordering an omelet, and regret not getting it (since it came with pancakes or rice or potatoes anyway!), but last minute when I turned around to talk to the waiter and saw the specials sign I switched to the french toast with whipped cream, macadamia, and peach... Well, anyway, that was delicious regardless, especially with some coconut syrup on it. I believe I uploaded a photo of it, if not, give me a few minutes... I was still really happy about my meal, only having tasted my dad's vegetable omelet, I wish I had gotten an omelet so I could have had a super tasty omelet with awesome ingredients AND a side of delicious pancakes! His omelet was really good. My brother got pineapple pancakes with a bunch of whipped cream, and I thought it was awesome as well. Nice, light and fluffy. They also had guava syrup! Oh, and I had a glass of fresh guava juice... mmm, so good. Woo breakfast!

  • N H.

    Eggs N Things... what do I say. The coconut pancakes with coconut syrup were to die for. Everything else was ok. We had an omlet, but I dont even remember it. The service was terrible. We got there and had a 20 min wait to get the PAGER. Then we had a 45 minute wait to be seated... by that time my husband was ready to eat his own arm. We finally got a table and waited for what seemed to be an eternity to be waited on. Since they gave us the menu while we waited for the hour and five minutes, we knew what we wanted. We waited for what seemed to be forever to get our food and it wasnt even hot! I joked to my husband that they wanted us to wait so long that it wouldnt matter what they served us- we would jsut think it was great. All in all, the food is worth eating... but I think I would order ahead and eat it on the beach. Get the coconut pancakes- they are worth it!

  • dorothy f.

    We stopped in for take out walking back to our hotel, we got the macadamia nut pancakes and loco moco. The pancakes were to die for, there were 5 huge pancakes with tons of nuts. I didn't get enough syrup :(, but I did have some guava jam in the hotel and we ate on them for 2 days. Loco Moco was good too. Next time I'll eat in and have pancakes with fruit & whip cream yumo~ Service was fast and for the short time we were in there the staff as very pleasant and responsive. I'll rate higher after I try it again.

    My first trip to Hawaii this place fueled my ramblings about the island for 7 days. I ate here almost every day for breakfast, trying something new every day and I wasn't dissapointed. The corned beef hash is awesome. The pineapple pancakes with whip are awesome. The crepes are awesome. The ... well, you get the idea. There was definately a wait EVERY day we went, but thats because we got there after 8:30am or so. WORTH IT. It was 2 blocks from our hotel and provided a nice little walk to settle the moutain of food we had eaten. Tips: Try all the syrups on the table if you get waffles or pancakes. The coconut is noteworthy. Also, fresh juice. I am pretty sure that pineapple my juice was made with was plucked from a plant mere hours before being stomped and poured into my glass like the nectar of the gods.

    I should have read the reviews. Instead, like everyone else I was lured in by the popularity and a few people talking about it - plus wanting eggs after a morning swim. I went to Eggs 'N Things Express which is their branch closer to the east end of Waikiki and the employee patiently explained the whole no-waiter concept (yet we still paid a tip) - you order from one guy, pay at cashier and get a pager that will buzz you when a table is ready. Supposedly it cuts the wait times in half. The inside seemed small, nothing special, and you get your own water. Ordered the corned beef hash omelette with upgrade to coconut pancakes and my partner got veggie omelette with upgrade to banana pancakes. It was nice that they could do our omelettes with only egg whites, but that's pretty much where compliments end. This is really a Denny's or low end diner kind of place charging double the price (for example, to 'upgrade' to fruit pancakes cost almost $3 each). The eggs were a bit sad looking - just slapped onto a paper plate not dressed up at all - but that's fine if it actually was spectacular. The veggie one was so so. As for the corned beef - I was expecting real corned beef but it was literally the kind from a can and shoved in between an egg bottom and egg white top. That's literally it. The pancakes were average size and I felt like I could have cooked them at home from store bought pancake mix. In fact, my mom makes better pancakes! They were really nothing to write home about...I just don't get it. Many reviewers loved macadamia nut so maybe I should have ordered that but you could barely taste any coconut in the coconut pancakes besides the coconut shavings they sprinkled on top of the stack. I don't like to drown my pancakes in too-sugary syrup but I definitely had to use the coconut and guava syrup to get any flavor. The bananas had some real banana slices mixed into the pancakes at least but I thought the slices were a bit skimpy, and again, nothing special - you could throw some banana bits into pancakes at home and get the same result. Maybe their waffles are better? Personally, I think they add that half-can of whipped cream to some pancakes and waffles to distract from the fact the food is really mediocre and to make you think you should be paying more. I love the concept of breakfast/brunch served all day but maybe try other places first or perhaps order their other meat dishes which I didn't try.

    The food didn't knock my socks off; it tasted like something I could've eaten at Like Like. When we sat down, everything was sticky. I like when servers are attentive and ours wasn't. My water was never refilled and as soon as he dropped the food off, he never returned. Maybe my reaction to the food was because I was reprimanded for sharing a coffee with my boyfriend. They don't tell you that sharing isn't allowed when you purchase a coffee. The wait staff is also not very accommodating toward their guests, after you've already been seated. It seems like they only care about turnover rates. As soon as we were ready to pay, one of the servers kicked my boyfriend out of the restaurant so they could make room for more people. I was truly dissatisfied and won't be returning. By the way, their macadamia nut pancakes taste like they used the same batter that the ABC store sells.

    Breakfast here was hella good. I came here with my girlfriend as our last culinary stop on our trip to O'ahu. It was a recommendation of my sister's, and as advised, we arrived early, at about nine o'clock, and we still had to wait about twenty minutes or so. And it was well worth the wait. My girlfriend had the special banana french toast, and I, the diced Portuguese sausage and green onion scramble with potatoes, so we could both have a taste of the sweet and savory. The french toast was amazing, sweet and fluffy goodness. Although I protested otherwise, my girlfriend decided not to go with any of the flavored syrups. I hate to say it, but I think she made the right choice, the maple syrup complimented the toast perfectly. While the guava and coconut syrups were unique, the maple was the way to go. The scramble was also super delicious. I love it when a kitchen is able to serve up a good potato and egg breakfast, packed with flavor and texture without being overladen with greasiness. Eggs 'n Things delivered. Plantation iced tea (refreshing and not too sweet) and coffee (excellent brew, beans available to go) rounded out our breakfast. What can I say, I loved it. Just remember to get here early. Really early.

    I AM A HUGE HUGE BREAKFAST FAN and when I get the chance to eat breakfast somewhere new I take it! This place definately beats out your IHOP, DENNY'S or any other restaurant that serves breakfast. This is more of a reply to the recent two star review (which I think shouldn't have been deserved!): You don't come to Hawaii to have just your typical breakfast! Branch out and try their Macadamian Nut pancakes or waffles. AMAZING! We stayed in Waikiki for a week and at least came to this place twice... we also attempted to make our own macadamian nut pancakes at our condo... but it just wasn't the same. Not only are those macadamian pancakes amazing, but everything else was pretty darn good! The waffles, the spam, the corned beef hash, eggs, vienna sausage, just everything I tried was DELICIOUS! (did I mention I LOVE BREAKFAST!) If you're into breakfast like me I would definately reccommend this place to try! The staff is great, very attentive and friendly! Do expect a wait for a table... come hungry but not starved... but DEFINATELY worth the wait!!! And guava juice isn't really $7 unless you bought like 2-3 glasses of it. WARNING: guava juice does not come with free refills. And yes, the price is up there... but still less than $10. There's always a price to pay for straight goodness. :-) Worth my money!

    I don't get what all the buzz is about. I will never go back to this place. Long wait for sub par breakfast food. Eggs were rubbery and the pancackes were cold. Not good at all.

    We waited about 45 minutes because we really didn't have much to do that day. The host was super funny so that helped the time fly by. When we finally made it up stairs we were starved. I have to say I know why there was such a wait. You are literally sitting elbow to elbow with the next table. My husband ordered the ham and cheese omelette and I had the ham and eggs and I upgraded my pancakes to blueberry. I have to say the pancakes were really good once I added the whipped cream to them. The lady at the next table kept raving about the tropical syrup, so I tried it and didn't get it. It tasted like straight sugar. The eggs well they were just eggs. It never hurts that they give a military discount. Overall it was a pretty solid breakfast.

    read a good review- so we decided to check it out. when we arrived there was a good wait, so I knew it would be good. the tuna steak and eggs is worth the splurge, and the coconut syrup on the pancake was divine! outside drinks are not allowed, so I sadly couldn't bring in my delicious coffee from next door.

    One of the best breakfast restaurants I've ever been to...period. Macadamia nut pancakes, Portuguese sausage, coffee, juices, and omeletes are all excellent.

    We stumbled on this place walking back to our hotel. A pleasant surprise, and had we found it earlier on our vacation, we would have been back. For some reason, it was filled with Japanese tourists. A great value, and we pretty much walked in and were seated right away around the dinner hour. Very pleasant and friendly staff. I ordered hazelnut crusted ahi, which was served with savory pancakes and wasabi aole sauce, which was scrumptious and unique. The kids all enjoyed their more standard breakfast diner fare and my wife was very pleased with her omlet. Portions were large and the quality was excellent.

    We have been going to Eggs and Things for years and the wait is long but the pancakes are great. HOWEVER, we will not be going back til they change their policy and don't make you feel like you must rush through your meal. We were told the wait was 45 min. so I grabbed a coffee at Kimobean next door. The wait ended up to be 15 min. which was not enough time to drink the coffee. When we walked up the stairs, my coffee was confiscated because they don't allow OUTSIDE DRINKS or food. It was returned to me when I left but there was no sign downstairs to indicate this plus this is my personal property. We will not be returning til this policy changes. You go to a restaurant to eat and relax and the atmosphere is NOT Relaxing.

    Satdown for Sunday brunch and waiters were extremely rude. We waited for 5 minutes for the last person in our party to arrive. Elderly filipino waitress was very rude and kept asking where the last person was. The whole atmosphere is one of rushing you through the restaurant. We left within 5 minutes. Did not even order. I am born and raised in Hawaii. This was my first time ever experiencing this type of service. Their horrible attitude should be known to others. The only reason they are probably still operating is because of all the tourists that go there.

    After our 45minutes wait, waiter forgot to bring our drinks. There are no syrup at the table. Not so amazing pancakes, eggs, and omelets. And mandatory 15% chip included!!!??? Give me a break. This place is just a tourist trap.

    Good, not great. Also food is not as impressive as the restaurant reputation. Quality of food is just average. Good if you like lots of sweets

    This place is great!I went here a week ago while I was on a family vacation in Honolulu. I went here with my family on a weekday morning. Being a breakfast restaurant, it was packed. The wait for our party of five was about thirty minutes but the wait was worth it!The restaurant is upstairs and it is small. But the ambiance is cute. It's almost like home. The menu is simple, none of that gourmet breakfast food. Eggs 'N Things is known for their pancakes. There were so many different pancakes to choose from. But I narrowed my selection down to the strawberry with whip cream and macadamia nuts pancake and the macadamia nut pancake. The menu indicated that these two pancakes were the most popular of all. I opted for the strawberry with whip cream and macadamia nuts pancake. The wait for our food was short. Maybe five to ten minutes. My dish was about $11, but it was worth every penny. I had five pancakes, and I only finished two. My dish was not too sweet at all. It was just right. There were so many textures to my dish. You got the strawberries, the creaminess of the whipped cream, and the crunchiness of the macadamia nuts. It was fabulous!I will return to this place whenever my next visit to Honolulu is, only next time I plan to share with someone else since the dish is huge! :D

    This place is a for sure stop if your in Waikiki! Get there before 9am or you're gonna wait...A somewhat confusing method for seating, to start downstairs in an awkward hostess area. But once you talk to the hostess it's seamless, like a well oiled machine for turning big crowds through the restaurant. They are busy! Also, don't be too picky on where you want to sit, or you're gonna wait. We took a 2 top table on the balcony and waited a good 5 minutes before a drink order...By this time we knew what we wanted to eat as well so we just got the ball rolling all at once. Our server was friendly and attentive and busy. This is not a kiss the customers butt place. It's a diner. The food is portioned big and the menu has substantial options. I got a vegetarian omelette, and it was a unique choice on veges inside. You can share plates, get plenty and still take some with you. It has a wonderful local feel and priced well below anything else for being in the heart of Waikiki. I will definitely go back when I'm in Waikiki.

    had banana pancakes and good coffee. pancakes were pretty good. i don't know why people are always mentioning (on all reviews for other restaurants too)----about the presence of the japanese tourists!!!----what's the reason????---it almost has negative undertones. the japanese tourists are wonderful!!!!----i've traveled for 65 yrs. all over the world and find that the people in japan are the nicest and most polite in the world---(with the exception of some old men who seem to be very hostile at many times.)---why would anyone even mention who else is in the restaurant?? locals, japanese tourists, bla bla--who cares??? i hope someone explains this to me.

    i can see what the hype is all about, based on the crowd this place is attractive to those who are not used to american greasy spoon breakfast... the japanese visitors! so if you are looking for a top notch get me out of my hangover good 'ol school american breakfast joint, dont come here, the wait is just not worth it. i ordered and omelet with pancakes... the omelet had very fresh ingredients and tasted well but nothing to write home... or in yelp about, the pancakes were rubbery and disappointing... my wife had an omelet with potatoes which allowed me to try the potatoes which in all honesty were just plain! nothing special about them, just potato squares with pepper and pan fried... so if you want to wait for mediocre food do it! oh yeah and what kind of place with so called unique personality only has Tabasco for spicy sauce?!
