Description: Eggs 'n Things is a place that always has a line of people waiting for a table for breakfast. It is pretty easy to spot as you come into Waikiki down McCully. Here you will find a large number of Japanese tourists that have heard that this is one of the "must-eat at" places during their stay on Oahu. If you are by yourself, or if there is just two of you, ask for a place at the counter (which is actually done as a large surfboard) and you usually will have a seat in 10 minutes or less. The hostess will give you a pager and buzz you when either a table or a place is ready.
The portions of food served at Eggs & things are truly Hawaiian sized, and even I have split an item before because it really is a lot of food. They have a great breakfast menu, but the first thing you should do is look up at either wall and see what is on the special of the day menu. The French toast with fresh pineapple (or it may be mango or guava), whip cream and mac nuts is out of this world! The haupia (coconut cream) crepes are also very good. If you are really hungry, order the banana cream pancakes or waffle – and you get a stack of pancakes with about 6 inches of whipped cream on top of it. I have yet to have eaten there without seeing several different people taking pictures of the food when it is set out in front of them!
If you order eggs or potatoes, I would recommend that you give their table salsa a try. It is not super hot – but blended real well. You have your choice of guava, coconut, or regular syrup as well.
Open daily from 2300-1400, Eggs & Things is also a great very late night stop for an early big breakfast after clubbing in Waikiki.
