Eggstablished — Restaurant in Westmont

A friend and I decided to get together for brunch in Westmont, IL today. The original restaurant we were going to visit wasn’t open yet, due to relocation. After discovering another establishment, we thought of trying out Eggstablished. The historical spot used to be called the Westmont Restaurant. Growing up, I’d always drive past it and would visit occasionally. At this point, it has been a few years since I’ve last been here. When we went inside, I was surprised.

Since my last visit a few years ago, this place has been renamed and renovated. Before the booths, chairs, countertops, and lighting fixtures were outdated. Now, with the renovations that have been invested into Eggstablished, the place looks great! When we walked in, the dining room was completely full. The kitchen was busy and the staff was constantly moving all around, serving their guests. It felt great to see this local business booming, having a constant flow of people entering and leaving.

The Gyro and Feta omelet was excellent. It went well with a side of original pancakes, hash browns, and coffee. The atmosphere took me back to when I was a kid, going to a diner with my family. There’s plenty of parking out front and across the street. The staff is very friendly and attentive. If you’re ever or near Westmont, IL, looking for a classic diner setting, this is a great opportunity...

Apparently, our tip did not go through at the end of our meal so the server confronted us and was loud about it to the point that their regulars chimed in thinking that we’re being cheap by not tipping. First of all, we did and if it didn’t go through - show us the receipt. She swiped our card without taking our receipt (I usually double check it but didn’t this time); we could’ve calmly resolve it but she grumpily walked away leaving us with the rude regulars “ganging up” on us without even finding out what exactly happened. Speaking of minding your own business… unbelievable. First time it happened to us, ever. Again, we did tip even if she claims she couldn’t find it. This tipping culture is getting out of hand. Servers feeling entitled I mean, who confronts their customers like that?? We just left so we’re not subjected to such...

I moved to Westmont from Naperville within the year. Me and my son we’re looking for a cozy little breakfast spot. On the outside look very cute. Upon walking in there was no greeting. Finally, we were told to sit where we wanted. There was no service tended to us for the first 10 minutes we were there. We got there. Our waiter was very cold and appeared frustrated. It was very unwelcoming and for the first time in a long time I felt as if I didn’t belong somewhere the part of Westmont I moved to appeared to be very diverse upon being in this restaurant, me and my son were the only minorities in the building at that time. I’m hoping this was not the reason for the cold shoulder because every other table seem to be getting great service. I wish I could say the food made up for the bad service the cold welcoming, but it did not. If you are not a regular, I wouldn’t suggest coming here. It doesn’t seem like they...
