Eggs 'n' Things Valencia — Restaurant in Santa Clarita

Location: A bit off the freeway, but no worries. We were coming based on the stellar reviews. Tucked away in a smaller retail center (I won’t use the dreaded strip mall label because it really isn’t), it could be easy to overlook, but we were determined.

Arrival: 10:30AM on a Friday. The host station was well staffed, and we were greeted immediately upon arrival. The staff asked us if we preferred inside, outside, or first available. We chose inside and were told it would be a 10-15 minute wait. No problem, we all used the restroom as we’d been driving from Long Beach. By the time we got out of the restroom (maybe 3 minutes), our table was ready.

Seating: Our party of four (2 adults, 2 kids) was seated in a typical banquet seating booth for four. The table and cushions were both cleaned from the previous guests. Clean menus for the adults, kids menus and crayons for the kids.

Service: Our server greeted us within what felt like seconds. She was clearly a seasoned veteran and could already tell we were newbies. Without being condescending, she told us that all entrées would be served with a “free” Swedish pancake. This was especially helpful considering we were hellbent on getting some of those Swedish pancakes, but didn’t know how we were going to work that into the order. She patiently answered all our questions, apologetically we had several, and said she’d be back shortly to take our order.

Food: As promised, four Swedish pancakes arrived before our entrées. They were heavenly. I might drive to Southern California to have a whole plate of them sometime. We got a classic egg breakfast, Chicken Fried Steak and eggs, French toast, and eggs and bacon. The coffee and half and half was well above average.

The food was absolutely outstanding. Possibly the best Chicken Fried Steak and gravy I’ve ever had. All the entrées came out very quickly, were generous portions, and were piping hot.

Random observations: Very well-staffed. I think I counted 15 hourly employees between front and back of house. I can’t imagine how that works given CA minimum wage, but obviously they have it all figured out. The food was NOT overpriced.

The booth next to us had a toddler in a high chair. After they left, the booth looked like a natural disaster. Two, not one, but two staff immediately began hazmat duty on the booth. I literally watched a guy work on “something” on the table that he wasn’t going to simply leave for the next guests to enjoy. No, he was going to make sure the booth was clean and ready for service.

The Manager stopped by our table to see how everything was. Nice job touching tables.

Exit: Payment through what looked like Toast was super easy with tap. The hosts asked how everything was. They thanked us for coming and wished us well.

I can’t say enough good things about this place. It will most certainly be a regular stop for us to and from Southern California.

Thank you Eggs ‘n’ Things Valencia for knocking it out of the park. We know...

My boyfriend and I ate here for the first (and last) time while being on vacation. It was very busy so I had pretty high expectations. I liked their patio it was cute and nice to have outdoor seating. We were a bit confused about the complimentary crepe we were given (as it wasn’t explained to us that we would receive it). I thought it was a nice touch but unfortunately it didn’t have much taste. Our sever was barely around which was frustrating but I tried to be understanding due to the fact that it was busy. I was going to order a breakfast burrito but decided to switch it up and get Eggs Benedict and boy did I regret that decision!! The hollandaise sauce had a strange flavor and even the ham that came with it was unappetizing. I tried to still eat most of it (avoiding the sauce) as I was pretty hungry and didn’t want to leave hungry as well. Later that night, however, I ended up with horrible stomach cramps and what turned out to be food poisoning. I was sick for many, many hours! I know it was due to the food I had at this restaurant as my boyfriend and I shared food at other places. The only thing we didn’t share? My Eggs Benedict and he was fine. I wish I had read other people’s reviews regarding this dish which spoke of how bad it is and just never come here. I’m convinced I was served spoiled food 🤮 and it ruined a night/next morning of our trip. Do yourself and your body a favor and your...

The service was good and the place was ok overall..but the food was disgusting and caused my family to get sick and diarrhea. My sons French fries were over cooked my wife's obriens potatoes were with no taste and not cooked properly..The biscuits were different then the ones from camarillo place...The two orders of chicken fried steak look and tasted weird as well..Overall we are used to the one in Camarillo which we've been going for 20 plus years and never had any issues what so ever but we decided to give Santa Clarita a chance and it fell well short with the food quality and taste. I hope they improve on this. The service was good and the place was fine but don't recommend the food...I also think it's time to change ur coffee cups and utensils as well as plates they look old and abused..Four different orders and nothing came out right. Will not be going here again and don't recommend..Better to drive almost 1 hour to Camarillo and not 15 minutes to this...
