Eggs 'n Things - Waikiki Beach Eggspress in Hawaii

"The largest portions of pancakes I’ve ever seen. We got the banana pancakes and the rainbow pancakes (multiple fruits). Both were much larger than expecting! Huge delicious fluffy pancakes with so much cream. There were so good, but we were unable to finish them. We did get boxes to take away, and they even give you some portions of each of their maple syrups to take with the take home boxes which was a lovely touch. The queue for this place was huge around 10-10.30am, and we signed up for the queue and waiting outside in the shade. It probably took around 30 minutes midweek. There does appear to be an option to reserve or queue virtually which we didn’t know about until we arrived which may be worth looking at as I think this place is always very very busy!"

"This place feels so local with some very unique dishes. Reservations suggested - or plan on a wait of about 30 minutes. You can book ahead on Yelp - but they will not seat you if your entire group is not together. Once seated, there is no rush to leave - until you are done eating. Fantastic staff and worth the visit."

"Definitely Recommend!! Join the waitlist ahead of time. We did that from our hotel which said 51-75 min. We walked there from the twin fin and got to see the shops around. We were on the list for about 45 min than got sedated. Food was so good the view was also great. Highly recommend."

"We loved this place. It was always busy but get in line be going to Yelp before you leave your hotel. Your whole party needs to be there to be seated. No exceptions. Try the French Toast, it was amazing. Eat breakfast, watch the waves."

"Right across from Waikiki Beach, this compact, fast-paced branch of Eggs ’n Things captures the energy of the ocean just steps away. It’s the perfect pit stop before a beach morning or after a sunrise surf session. Service is quick but still friendly—think “grab-and-go” with a smile. The open-air vibe and ocean breeze make even a takeaway pancake plate feel like a small celebration. The strawberry whipped cream pancakes and the loco moco are crowd favorites for a reason: simple, generous, and consistently satisfying. Unlike the flagship, this spot focuses on speed and convenience, but it never loses the warmth that defines the brand. You can taste the consistency in every forkful—fluffy pancakes, perfectly cooked eggs, and bacon that hits just the right crunch. Don’t expect quiet or elegance—expect movement, laughter, and the hum of travelers grabbing breakfast before heading to the beach. And honestly, that’s what makes it special: a slice of Waikiki life, lived in flip-flops and sunshine."

"Great place to have a family breakfast. Food is excellent, nice morning cocktails, waiters are super friendly. The only reason to remove a star - long line to wait. However, you can get into a line through the website online in advance, and you will skip standing in the line with the whole family."

"The food was so good! I only wish we had found this spot earlier in our stay! The pancakes were so light and fluffy and delicious. The service was fast and friendly and the location was perfect. A quick walk along the beach and an excellent view. Really good coffee, too!"

"Stopped by Eggs ‘n Things for breakfast, and it was a great experience from start to finish. The food came out hot and fresh — everything tasted just right. A big shout-out to Kent and Giselle, our table servers, friendly, professional, and made sure we were well taken care of the whole time. Excellent hospitality and great service all around. There was a short wait, but it moved quickly thanks to their iPad check-in system — just make sure you sign in on the iPad when you arrive so you’re in line to be seated. Definitely worth the stop if you’re in the area and want a hearty, satisfying breakfast!"
