I'd say I'll be back for the Dorothy Revenge omelet. I decided to go with Glinda eggs Benedict with a creamy champagne sauce lumps of dungeness crab with a slice of ham or bacon whatever it is it is delicious..Some of the reviews stated these menu items are over priced. I might have to agree IF the servers, coffee and food sucked. But it doesn't the food was perfectly prepared. I did sample the Dorothy Revenge wholly cow it so deliciously cheesy, velvety sauce lumps and more lumps of crab.
This place was recommended to us. I like a sit down breakfast. My husband prefers mocha and a pastry. The atmosphere has a Wizard of Oz theme. It was crowded for a Monday. They were training someone in the kitchen, so they were slow getting out food out. It was worth the wait. I had the eggs Benedict and country potatoes.
Visiting from Sacramento and this place was recommended by family and friends who've visited Fort Bragg. I ordered the #11 crepe with spinach, mushrooms, cheese, and I had them add bacon. It was delicious, fresh tasting, and cooked wondefully. The vanilla latte was good as well. I had to wait for 40 minutes to be seated, the place is small, they were crowded. Get there early otherwise it will be a long wait. Service was good, but hey really don't have accommodations for larger size individuals or people with limited mobility. I'll visit again, I loved the Wizard of Oz theme!
We enjoy the unique take on hollandaise, it's "Wicked!" Fresh caught crab omelets, so yum. The whole "Wizard of Oz" motif is fun. When in Fort Bragg don't miss Egghead's. The wait can be long but they will text you when your table is ready and plenty of things to see while you wait!
The food is wonderful and the people are super nice! I had the Flying Monkey Potatoes and husband had the Housemade Chunky Corned Beef, not Hash. Both were perfectly flavored. The potatoes were cooked just right in both. My potatoes had amazing veggies cooked just right, no mush. They gave me blackberry jam for my toast with my meal and I have to say it was the perfect flavor pairing. Definitely enough food. I was only able to finish half. My husbands eggs were cooked perfectly and he was also super happy. They also have good coffee with a bottomless cup. We have tried to come a few times but it was too busy on the weekends we came. I am super glad we were finally able to try this beautiful lil local spot!
The service was great and the food was excellent!! I love their wizard of oz theme as well and it feels very cozy! I am plantbased and gluten free and felt accommodated and left feeling full. Ps: the potatoes are delicious.
My husband and I had the pumpkin cream waffle that has banana slices and almond cream on top with coffee. Typically places only give a few banana slices, but Egghead's completely covers the waffle with them to our delight! I usually don't like almond tasting things, so I had mine put on the side. Tentatively tasting it, I had found that it was also delicious! We enjoyed our waffles and Amanda, our server, was very kind! She also handled a customer, who was obnoxiously complaining for several minutes about his food and the fact they use sugar cane plates instead of hard dishware, like a pro! I almost spoke up a few times to tell that man to get over himself, it isn't that big of a deal. If plates matter to you, find a tablecloth restaurant. If you are just wanting a cool place with nice service, then this is the place for you!
It was such a pleasure to talk to Becky and learn a little about the history of the place, the struggles of the past and the re-rise of Eggheads. I am rooting for the team. The food was excellent. Must try the Pumpkin Cream Waffle. Too Good. I had Uncle Henry's Farmhand favorite - the bacons were really good. I scraped that plate well, rest assured.
You enter into a story of the Wizard of Oz. It is all around, the menu is from there too 🙂 The food is delicious, really tasty, homemade, fresh bites. We chatted with the owner, very sweet lady. It is the place you wanna eat, and don’t forget to ask why the Wizard of Oz - you’ll love the response.
We enjoyed an excellent breakfast. I had the old standard eggs, bacon, potatoes and toast. Everything was delicious and perfect. Great service and atmosphere. Highly recommend!
