Review from Bill B.

This is the consummate breakfast house. They also serve lunch, but we didn't try that.
Get there early or late. It's a small, quaint, house, converted to a restaurant. And it's popular! We arrived about 10:20 on a Tuesday, and it was nearly full.
I had a steak and mushroom omelette that was totally incredible. it came with hash browns and the portions were huge! The omelette was cooked perfectly. It had some really cool sauce that I can't begin to describe. Pieces of steak and mushrooms were coated with a cheesy, flavorful filling that melted in my mouth.
My daughter had a pecan and coconut waffle that was so big she only ate a fourth of it. She ate it for breakfast for the next two days!
The atmosphere is full of warmth. Smells are homey and the service is friendly but laid-back. This would be a great place to take a client, if you could be seated quickly. It's not too loud, given the close seating arrangements, and the food is so reassuring that a good time is assured.
We'll be back the next time we are in Ashland. -

They just have a really amazing innovative menu.
I can say that sometimes there is a long wait, and it's not the cheapest in town, but the food alone gives it the 5 stars. And the portions are giant. Two people can very easily split a breakfast entree and be satisfied. Good coffee too.
The ambiance is also very pleasant. Nice open feel with eclectic, yet tasteful decor. You feel kinda like you are in a garden (which you could be since they have garden seating).
When I open my own restaurant I aspire to be like Morning Glory.
A definite favorite, good for going again and again. -

A cute breakfast spot. If you're in the mood for big portions, heavy food, and indulgence, head to Morning Glory. Food was definitely tasty...but I had food coma after wards.
My husband got the lemon ricotta french toast and could only eat half of it. Get the half order because each toast comes with 2 slices of bread glued together with the ricotta filling and they give you two of those. It's pretty heavy. The marionberry over the french toast was quite delicious.
I got the vegetarian hash and I'm SO GLAD I did. The hollandaise sauce was very yummy, one that I've never tried before. I would love to get a recipe of the sauce. It was garlicky and had tons of flavor. The tofu and potato mixture was great, as were the two poached eggs I poked at to let the yolk ooze out. I got the hash with more hash--hash browns. They were excellent.
To add to this caloric meal (because I like to finish my plate and eat the whole thing, including the muffin that came with the hash), I drank a latte which was just really nice.
There are small touches that make this place a great breakfast spot, but make sure you're ready for all the fattiness. -

you know what scares me? when a place has 150 reviews and the average is 4 and a half stars. either the people who ate here were poisoned and held hostage forcing them to write a good review or it has to be a good place. thank god Jen has been here and she is someone i trust.
so let me tell you, this place is that good. warm house made marionberry muffins to start. yeah just stop here right? no the pancakes were delicious also but the real star is the butter they had with orange zest in it, one word amazing.
so the food is good but you know what else is better, the service here. it's a great little small spot with the warm homely feel from the staff here. if you're in the area, go here. -

Visited Morning Glory Friday afternoon this week while in town with the fam. My nephew loved the sparkling blackberry juice, my sister loved the raspberry lemonade, and I couldn't have enjoyed my mocha any more- it was exactly what I needed after an early flight on a full plane. Morning Glory is in kind of a strange spot on a main drag in Ashland- between two motels and across the street from SOU. Despite those drawbacks, it is really cute. I love restaurants in houses, and this one had nice murals and two different sitting areas. We sat inside.
The place was full upon arrival at 1 pm, but our group of 5 was seated within 5-10 minutes. Most tables are for 2-4, so bear that in mind if you go. You can also sit at the counter. Seating is fairly tight, but that really isn't bad since the atmosphere here is unhurried and friendly; a simple excuse me will get you through. Our party ordered the chorizo scramble with a marionberry muffin and blueberry pancakes ($1 extra charge to substitute blueberry for regular- a deal, do it!), the basic eggs, bacon, and pancakes, and the draper valley farm chicken sandwich with pepperjack and chipotle mayo, which came with fries or salad- we got salad. All meals were great- quality local ingredients, cooked correctly, excellent taste. Chicken sandwich was great, as was the chorizo scramble, but strangely neither was all that spicy, kind of a bummer. Absolutely loved the blueberry pancakes... best pancakes I think I've ever had! Lemon butter was amazing, and the pancakes weren't super thick bisquick style, but thinner and really tasty. 5 stars for the pancakes alone.
Service was friendly and the food arrived in a reasonable amount of time given how full the restaurant was. Bill came to $50, $60 with tip. My nephew loved the crayons and coloring page he was given, that was much appreciated. Definitely not cheap for breakfast/ lunch, but I expected to pay more given the location and the quality of the ingredients so that's okay. We ended up with two to go boxes full of food as well so it would be easy to share one meal here. Final verdict is that this is for sure a fun celebration spot to visit with a small group! -

We were so disappointed in this breakfast. The service was awful and the food was mediocre. We arrived and the surly waitress told us we could sit anywhere we liked, as if it was a burden. Before we even sat down, she asked us if we wanted anything to drink, but we hadn't even opened our menus. We then proceeded to wait 15 minutes before anyone came back to our table, even though our table was smack dab in the middle of the restaurant, and waitresses were walking by us constantly.
When our waitress finally came, she took our order, but we drinks (just tea and coffee) didn't come back for five minutes, followed closely by our food. My husband's biscuits and gravy were the saddest biscuits and gravy I've ever seen. The biscuits were flat and wide, like a stale pancake, and the gravy was tasteless. It came with a side of hot house tomatoes that were freezing cold and underripe. You could get better at Denny's or at home.
My pesto/chard/goat cheese scramble was tasty, but not enough to redeem the experience. Our waitress never came back except to drop off our check. The kitchen looked dirty and lots of food that should have been refrigerated was not.
This was such a depressing experience with horrible staff and mediocre food. I would not go back. -

Wow, so glad we stopped here instead of Medford. The spot has very little parking, be aware.
It's a sweet little cottage with a beautiful deck. The service is very attentive. They were able to mix things up for us and I always appreciate that without all the eye rolling.
Hubby had the Swiss chard scramble with tomatoes and rye toast and was giddy with joy. $12
I had the red crab omelet with artichokes and cream sauce. Came with potatoes and choice of toast or muffin (I got the muffin to go). It was enough for four people it was so abundant and filling. The tastes were wonderful. $13.50
Two Egg breakfast with potatoes and toast $8.50 shared between my kiddos and it also had a blueberry muffin to go.
It was so good that we planned our return trip around having breakfast there again! Second visit got the Ham and Egg crossaint and asked for poached eggs and croissant and muffin on the side to go. It was great to have poached eggs, ham, cheese and tomato! May I suggest you add that option instead of the sandwich? And for the girls this time around we just got scrambled eggs and a bagel with creamcheese; which was plenty and worked out to $6 bucks!
What a delight it would be if they were open for dinner!
PS: I've been to the Morning Glory Cafe in Eugene, OR and they don't even hold the match to the flame of this place! They can't even be compared.Listed in: Brunch

Review from Cee A.
Pretty dang good breakfast. Best ever? Nah, not quite. I've definitely had better. I will give this to MG -- while most of my local reviews are qualified with the "good for Ashland/Medford/Grants Pass" caveat, this one definitely is good enough to merit a review outside of those lines.
I've always known MG to be ultra-busy and crowded, so rather than have to deal with that, we checked in just before noon on a getaway weekend. We were seated within minutes, which apparently isn't the norm for MG. We also found parking quite quickly, which can also be an issue some times.
We had the cheesecake stuffed french toast w/pineapple syrup, and a custom ordered chicken & waffles plate. The waitress seemed a little confused at first about having chicken with waffles, but she acquiesced. Just a few minutes later, our food arrived, and we devoured. Not the best chicken & waffles, but pretty good considering it wasn't a menu item for them. Oh, and the french toast -- wow.
On our server's return, she asked if we had the idea for chicken & waffles from Portland's Screen Door. I had to LOL in my head on that one -- love Screen Door, but that's a Roscoe's specialty sweetheart! But I do appreciate how friendly and attentive she was.
I could do without the cramped quarters at MG, but given this is a converted home, no surprise here really. Speaking of Screen Door, it's about there space-between-tables-wise, but with a lot less noise.
Of course, do remember we came here in what was really an off-hour, so my thoughts on spacing, crowding, and noise may vary from your experience. The food however, was exceptionally good! And the ambiance -- so quintessentially Ashland. -

This cute remodeled house has become THE place to go for breakfast in Ashland. Everything we had was delicious - the hot muffins had real blueberries in them, the lemon poppyseed waffle was topped wtih lemon butter and fresh berries of an excellent quality, and my husband's fried chicken sandwich was delish, extra crispy crust and moist meat.
Be prepared for a bit of a ridiculous wait, but it's not their fault they're so good. There isn't a lovelier place to wait than the spacious gardens in front of the restaurant.Listed in: Ashland on a Budget

Review from Wendy B.
What a great breakfast experience! One I will remember for a long time. We ordered one poppy seed waffle and a side of bacon for the two of us. At first, I thought it was a bit pricey, but I now know better, it was one of the best waffles I have had in my lifetime. And the bacon, 4 huge slices of thick and meaty, well smoked bacon, was exceptional too. The waffle iron must have been industrial sized, because it came out as 4 squares, each the size of a normal pancake. Cover it with their melty, lemon butter and the freshly made berry compote they served on the side, made from perfectly ripe Oregon blackberries that are so abundant this time of the year. I wonder what they use once the season is up? I am going to check on how to get that bacon too. The waitress told me to go to http://Nueskes.com to find my bacon.
The place is a cute, brightly decorated bungalow home from the 1920's with a cutesy patio in the front for dining as well. The interior was casual, with an eclectic variety of chairs, tables and benches, and our meal came on some of Grandma's hand painted flowery dishes. Expect to find it filled with the baby boomer crowd as well as young families.
Parking. Not great. There is a sign in the driveway to park next door in the motel parking lot. Definitely a good tip.
Consider this recommendation a "must-try". I am so happy I ignored the 2 star ratings. I can't wait to go back next trip.Listed in: Breakfast, Kaffe Koffie Bean-Bean-Bean

Thanks to Toni M's review I finally went here for breakfast. Now breakfast is the one meal that does not excite me, this has changed; the food, the service, and the atmosphere all were topnotch. It was so good that N and I went here twice in 3 days. I have never had any breakfast that was this good. I am a fan and look forward to stopping on my next trip to Ashland
The lemon ricotta stuffed French toast with raspberry syrup and lemon butter was perfect. My next meal was one of the specials of the day, a marzipan blueberry stuffed French toast and one of the house made sausage patties. Fresh berries and maple syrup were included. N shared her warm, fresh from the the oven,muffin and it was great. I also tasted her rock shrimp and poached egg with tomato chutney This is on my must order list the next time I eat hereListed in: Ashland Oregon

Horrible experience! I ordered a basic breakfast for me and my friend at SOU; she had raved about this place. The waitress was quite surly and told me that because I ordered biscuits and gravy, I would not get any toast as the biscuits counted as a "Bread" item. The polenta was so hard, I banged it against the table and it made an audible noise but didn't break apart. The only thing I could eat was the eggs after dousing them in Tabasco sauce and left the rest of the plate uneaten. I hate wasting food but this stuff was inedible; I don't get the attraction here.
I should have went to Denny's where I could have had a much more satisfactory meal for half of what I paid at this pretentious eatery! With toast!
The coffee was burned and sucked too! I live in CA and will never go back to this place when I visit Ashland again. -

THE BEST BREAKFAST I HAVE EVER HAD.
Looking for the local Ashland equivalent of our favorite in Santa Cruz is how we found it--many good reviews on Yelp and mentions of specifically good dishes. And, boy did Morning Glory dish out! Normally I'm just in search of our hometown equivalent breakfast place but this time I'm wishing there was a Morning Glory in our town. The butter was amazing. The raspberry muffin was amazing--I've been thinking about it all week. The side pancakes were amazing. The crab omelet was amazing.
I love my mother and my husband dearly but any breakfast I have dined on at their hand... well, it would just be too much to ask.
I dream of the day we can dine here again. -

Best breakfast you ever had? I am awfully sorry then. I suppose if one habitually breakfasts on Pop-tarts the 5 star superlatives are in order but.... did you know that a decent omelette is not actually drenched in cooking oil? The portions are grotesquely oversized, did anyone tell them there is an obesity crisis in this country? The coffee is distinctly average in a town of local roasters and boutique coffee shops this is not OK. (Espresso machine was "broken" forever but probably a good thing since it seems no-one can jerk it anyway)
Wooden pews not so comfortable but regular tables jammed too close together... parties often really noisy and loud. Service is invariably quick efficient and friendly, but don't drop by if you are in a hurry - there is usually a long wait for seating; and forget the parking out back unless you drive a smart car, you may not get out. Over-rated. -

I couldn't have asked for a more perfect place to go out for breakfast. The ambiance, romantic and home-like comfort, seems to fit Ashland. The food and drink choices were excellent, for both adults and kids. Portions were generous and prices seemed very reasonable. Great service too.

I'm about to get all superlative on you right now:
MORNING GLORY SERVES THE BEST BREAKFASTS I HAVE EVER EATEN.
It's true. I've been here three times, each time more exciting and intoxicating than the last, and I seriously consider diving the six hours from San Francisco just for a taste of this restaurant's heavenly food. Morning glory makes for a glorious morning indeed.
The savory breakfasts are incredible, with several inventive egg scrambles to choose from. I've had the salmon scramble before (dill sour cream! Yukon gold potatoes!), and it's insane. It made me rethink every egg breakfast I've had since.
I'm not much of a sweet breakfast person, but on my last visit to the MG, I tried both the oatmeal pancake and the lemon poppyseed waffle. I'M A BELIEVER. And I can't wait to go back. -

Came here based on the Yelp recommendations and walked away a happy man.
First: Don't even bother with their "parking lot" which is located behind the place. Just park next door in the motel parking lot. You will thank me if you drive anything bigger than a clown car.
Okay, we got there just after 11am which is when lunch starts, so yay for that, and the place was pretty busy. We waited about 20-30 minutes which wasn't bad given the seating area outside we could use to wait.
After being seated our drink orders were taken pronto and then we had time to peruse the menu. We forgot to look at the specials on the board at the entrance, but the server was more than happy to repeat them and glad we had him do it as my wife ordered the omelet of the day which ended up being very good. I ended up ordering off the lunch menu and got the crab melt sandwich. Arriving open faced was unexpected, but ended up being very smart because the amount of crab and other goodies they give you would be impossible to eat as a true sandwich. It came with a variety of options for sides and I went with the french fries which were muy excellente!!
Overall I would definitely recommend this place if you are in Ashland. It appears to stay busy so be prepared for a short wait, but the service is attentive and everything we ordered was very good. -

I really enjoyed my crab omelet this past Saturday morning. Even though I made some adjustments-no dairy-it was delicious! I LOVED my homemade pumpkin muffin that came with my breakfast.
We had to sit at the bar since it was packed at 11am on Saturday. There was about a 30 minutes wait-so go a little early if you are starving and do not want to wait.
The service was friendly and attentive.
I love any restaurant that is homenade, organic and considers all diet concerns! -

One of the best breakfast places that I have ever been to...
Everything is fresh and flavorful. The portions are generous and the staff is very friendly. I recommend the applewood smoked bacon omelet with caramelized onions and fontina cheese. The crispy polenta as a side dish is also terrific. If you prefer something sweeter, the buttermilk pancakes with lemon butter or the lemon ricotta stuffed French toast with raspberry syrup are also excellent choices! One caution, after you eat here, you will not want to eat for a while... :) -

MG really made my morning glorious. Walking in, we had to wait for a few minutes, but the hostess was ready to supply us with bright patterned mugs for their delicious coffee while we waited. There is also a waiting area outside that has a swinging chair!
I had the bacon waffle with walnut butter, blackberry compote, and real maple syrup. The fare was perfectly crispy and moist. If you go with other people, I recommend ordering a host of different items from the menu and sampling everything. I also had the brown sugar glaze grapefruit, and it was a surprise to discover the yumminess of warm grapefruit! I am going to start making those at home.
However, beware of sitting outside because the leaf blowers from the business next door blew dust all over our table and left a bad taste in our mouths. -

Easily the best restaurant in Ashland. Portions are huge. The side of hashbrowns are humongous and thick, deliciously crisp on the outside, and soft on in the inside. The side of pancakess are perfect--moist, for lack of a better word, with just the right amount of give.
I'd also recommend the Lemon Ricotta Stuffed French Toast with Raspberry Syrup and the Open Faced Bagel Sandwich with Scrambled Eggs, Tomato, Pesto, and Brie
Expect a long wait on the weekends, especially during high season. -

Best breakfast I have had in Ashland. I had a delicious scramble with pesto and veggies and topped it off with a side of light fluffy pancakes. The lemon butter was superb. The only negative was the waitress was clearly not that friendly. My daughter has some food allergies, so when I asked her a few questions about substitutions and changing a few things, she was not accommodating at all. Oh well. I will chalk that up to her bad day or whatever. She still served the food on time and it was very tasty!! I will definitely be stopping here again whenever I am in town.

Omg I freakin love this place! I ordered the crab omelette, hashbrowns, coffee & an orange mimosa - they have 4 flavors of mimosa to choose from.
We've been traveling through from Cali to Portland, staying a night in Ashland and I researched through my Yelp app to find the best breakfast to get us back on the road. Morning Glory stole my heart with its rave reviews and I got excited to see they have a crab, artichoke omelette on the menu. We woke up early, got there 10 min prior to opening
and there were about 25 people waiting in line, good sign! The doors open promptly at 8. We follow everyone in, find a cozy table for 2, was greeted right away by our friendly server and ordered our meals. The portions were generous, omelette was delectable, the coffee, robust and the hashbrowns were cooked to perfection. The mimosa was the perfect balance of juice and champagne and I ended up with a happy little buzz by the end of my meal. Good thing my travel companion was willing to drive for a bit. Thank you Morning Glory! I hope to be back soon! -

It is my favorite place to have a special occassion breakfast or just when I want to overindulge (portions are gigantic). Their menu offers tons of choices, and everything I have tried so far tasted great. My favorite dish of all time is a goat cheese, pesto and swiss chard scramble. I order it with the polenta cakes, which BTW are done to perfection - crunchy on the outside and cramy, cheese inside. The place itself is also adorable. It's an old house converted into a bright, colorful restaurant. One thing that always bothers me about MG is how long it takes to be seated. And they don't take reservations.

We have eaten here on each of our visits to Ashland, Oregon, otherwise known as paradise, but I digress.
Morning Glory is fabulous. What a massive and spectacular menu. We always coordinate what we order so we can munch off each other's plates and try everything.
On this visit, I had the caramelized onions and bacon omelet which was spectacular -- yummy bacon and sweet perfectly caramelized onions. We had two plates of the cherry cheesecake stuffed french toast, which was amazing. The entire table shared a bowl of Moroccan oatmeal -- a nutty, sweet, fantastic, huge bowl of goodness. Also typically fabulous was the lemon ricotta french toast and the tip steak omelette.
As always, we left with several stuffed to-go containers, a complete inability to even think about any other food for at least six hours, and a great time. -

I love breakfast food, but this place has the best I've ever eaten. My favorite is the egg scramble with white cheddar and black forest ham. It comes with your choice of sides, and I ALWAYS choose the pancakes because the lemon butter is to die for. They have a lot of options, but I get to go here so rarely that I have to get the same thing every time.
There is usually quite a wait to be seated, so come here with lots of time. Parking can also be a pain. There is a tiny lot behind the restaurant, but there is parking next door.
This is the best food in Ashland! -

The best breakfast I've ever had, bar none. I originally found this place while attending Southern Oregon University and dodging theatre majors in their black capes and unbathed bodies. I usually settle on the Chorizo Scramble, Croissant Sandwich or Pancakes, but keep in mind each meal comes with tons of sides. It's also like getting two breakfasts in one. Pack your spare stomach. Either way you go, you are going to have an amazing meal at respectable prices. Don't forget that city food tax that will tack a couple of bucks onto your bill.
If you find yourself in the Republic of Ashland and you desire an eclectic mix of delicious breakfast and lunch while experiencing the finer side of liberal America, than you better go to Morning Glory for breakfast tomorrow. Better yet, you might just want to camp outside until morning, -

Six. Stars. If possible.
How did I get my new husband to forgo the hotel continental breakfast for something far more interesting? I told him that I'd take him to the best breakfast place in Oregon. Then I started getting nervous. Usually I'm pretty trustworthy about food. Would Morning Glory come through for me? It had been years since I frequented here, although I've kept up with the reviews.
There was no disappointment. If anything can suck him in, it's food infused with bacon (which is also a food, I recognize, but used as a condiment, an additive, a shimmering shining eye-candy, it has a whole other life). So of course he ordered the bacon waffle with walnut butter. I salivated over multiple dishes and finally narrowed it down to the cranberry hazelnut french toast with lemon something butter. It was amazing. I carried it with me all day. No really, I did. In between wine glasses I slipped out a slice of French toast and savored it.
Some little details: I asked for cream for my Earl Grey and they gave me real cream, not half and half which has a totally different flavor. During the week, there is hardly a wait. They serve morning cocktails. If this place were in Portland, it would be mauled. My new husband spent the rest of the day looking for an antique book of Basho haiku (I am one who spends his breakfast gazing at morning glories). -
Review from Steve F.
Ashland, OR
An update:
The buttermilk fried chicken is still there, and on the salad, with green goddess dressing and chunks of avocado, it's still a heart attack on a plate. The sandwich, however, has been changed to a regular ciabatta bun with shredded lettuce, tomato, and a thinner (and probably less caloric) dressing. Apparently the biscuit was not a sturdy enough enclosure for the rest of it. I'm told that it can still be ordered in the prior style, as they have all the bits available and still remember how to make it. I'd do that, same as I order the lamb burger old-style, with the tomato chutney (and nothing else!).
They're still my favorite restaurant breakfast in town.Listed in: My Neighborhood, Top Restaurants
