THE breakfast of Vegas champions, or at least when you feel like a champion the next morning. (Is it really morning already?) These omelets are so huge, they have their own zip code.
Choosing one of 20+ omelet varieties is probably the best bet, since they could feed a family of four. Side of home fries or chips, big cup of unlimited coffee, and you are a champion.
one New Year's resolution is to write more Yelp reviews, so here goes...
In Vegas for NYE & gave this place a shot per other Yelp reviews. I had the chicken fried steak (which is pretty much my favorite breakfast) & the girlfriend had huevos rancheros (didn't try but looked good). Overall, the food was very good & the place has quite the kitschy ambiance. I prefer chicken fried steak to be an actual cut-of-meat steak rather than a ground steak product. The former is rare & this place served the latter. The gravy, however, was distinctively outstanding & the potatoes, served as home-style chips, were pretty good too. If you're looking for breakfast in Vegas & not in the mood for the $50 buffet with the obligatory gluttony that accompanies it, Omelet House is a very good, much lower cost option that still serves up ample portions.
When you go to a place, and its named after a dish, for the love of everything, order that!
The omelets here are super huge and super filling. The height of the omelet alone is just shy of an inch! They super fill the omlet as well, I don't think this meal is made for a normal person.
I also love how they do the potatoes!
I wanted sausage and biscuits and regret not ordering an omelet. The gravy was pretty weak and lacked in flavor. (-1 star)
The staff were super nice and welcoming. The place is pretty packed with regulars and not many tourists (like our group).
If you drove to LV, or willing to cab it, I'd say its more than worth it!
What a refreshing change of pace. Have car, will travel and find more interesting food. The Omelet House reminded me of some of my favorite diners. Little hole-in-the-wall places that have been doing their thing for decades. Long list of omelets with silly names and unapologetically dated décor with knotty pine walls. Not far from the glitz of the Strip, we found people of all ages from bikers to college kids tucking into piles of food. It felt like a glimpse of the real Vegas.
Their standard 'O-Boy Omelets' are made with SIX EGGS! Totally insane. We ordered 'Baby Omelets' made with three eggs for a little bit less money since there is no point having leftovers when you're on vacation. For choice of bread, my favorite was the pumpkin bread served piping hot. The thinly sliced side of potatoes were on the verge of being potato chips and just as addictive.
I enjoyed The Guac, but had plate envy after I tasted Mr. K's Cowboy Special (chili, cheese and onions) and kept going back for more. This isn't the best place in the world, but I am tempted to give it five stars because it is just what the doctor ordered. But, the coffee is weak (even though the refills were plentiful) and I've had better versions of this style of cooking elsewhere. Still, damn fine.
If you love big plates of food in a kitschy ambiance, Omelet Place is definitely your place. There are so many different types of omelets that I was stuck. I told the waitress that I was debating between the lobster omelet and the chile verde omelet. Her decision, let the coin decide! *LOL* So I ended up with a chile verde omelet.http://static.px.yelp.... Very good. I could only eat a few bites because I ordered some pumpkin bread with my meal. That bread was piping hot and so flavorful. Hubby had the country fried steak. http://static.px.yelp.... He liked it. It wasn't the most fantastic CFS that he's ever had, but he said it was good.
The staff was extremely nice and the price was just right. It's in North Las Vegas but not that far from the strip.
The other cool thing that they offer is a mini-omelet. It's cheaper too. I totally forgot though.
An institution when it comes to breakfast. Been here three times now and one thing about their omelletes are the servings are big. We ended up splitting the ginourmous "kitchen sink". Which had everything. The taste was ok for me. Except they went all out on the beans. Part of our party enjoyed it and ordered it twice already. It was like eating two omelletes. I tried their lobster benedict which is ok. The pumpkin bread was good. The mile high omellete I ordered was a little dry. Everyone elses food came out ok. The Belgian waffles are huge and so are their waffles. Most of their dishes come with spuds and we all enjoy them extra crispy. We ended up ordering an extra order coz it was that good.
The only issue I have with them is that their drinks are overpriced. Regular coffee, tea, or soda is 2.75. Their pancakes have a hint of baking soda that we could tell. Overall the service is what makes them shine. They do take good care of you. It's that at home feel that makes this place a gem that we sometimes miss being around big business. I know they will stand the test of time since they have been here a long time. Whenever in Vegas this is one of our stops for breakfast.
After all I heard, I was disappointed in this place. The breakfast was OK. Yes, the potatoes are exceptional and the quick breads a nice touch.
We sat in a banquette & I noticed dirt & dust in the corner. If I see this in the front of the house, I can't help but wonder what the kitchen looks like! My husband's omlette tasted vaguely of shrimp, which made us wonder if the pan had been cleaned.
I'm sure there are better breakfasts in LV.
I
First taste at this omelet house - sign says it's been around since 1978 - yeah, i can believe it and my guess is at least 1/2 the servers have been there since day one.
Gf and i had omelets - big surprise - she went with the veggie, i went with the porky pig - i'm guessing 5-10 eggs in each , a seriously huge omelet - we didn't eat 1/2 of it - hope it keeps for tomorrow's bk.
comes with potatoes that closely resemble potato chips. tried the banana bread and the pumpkin bread ( more like cake )
tried a bite of each - very good.
Overall, just ok by me - like the old school feel to the place, but after a couple bites of the omelet just felt like it was lacking much flavor - my guess is they used farmer john skinless links for the filling - not much of the lil buggers either.
total cost with coffee , $22 so it ain't exactly cheap eats , sure i can take 1/2 our order home but i doubt it's like day old spaghetti, pizza, and the like.
and yes, at Scott's directive, I took some pics with my cell phone but the banana bread looks more like meatloaf then bread !!
happy eating
GIGANTIC portions of breakfast treats and potatoes, now that's what I'm talking about!
Just 10 minutes away from the main strip, the Omelet House is definitely a place to get your money's worth. I ordered the Shrimp omelet that was about half the size of my head, and to top it off, it came with a side of spuds and toast.
Saving your appetite for the buffets? No, save your appetite for the Omelet House, A must-try breakfast place!
This is by far my favorite breakfast spot in Vegas.
I started off at Jamm's as my favorite breakfast spot, but I heard about this place and had to try it. I went with a friend one weekend morning and scanned their menu for something good to eat. Everything sounded great, so I went with my usual Denver Omelet and my friend has corn beef hash and eggs.
I have to say--their food is excellent. Their breakfast potatoes our OUTSTANDING and their omelets are fluffy, full, and satisfying. Great seasoning, not too much cheese, and just the right amount of filling, too. Those breakfast potatoes are heavenly--I couldn't get enough!
I try to eat here once a week now because they are worth the trip. If you want a great breakfast for very affordable prices with an interesting atmosphere, get off the strip and try this place. You won't regret it.
Truly one of the last original, local, family-owned breakfast secrets! If you've had your fill of the cookie-cutter, mediocre, chain-like, diner-style restaurants; and your craving some good food, personality, and kitch, then you have to check out the Omelet House.
Tucked away in an otherwise, run-down, and non-descript strip mall near UMC, the Omelet House has an extensive menu, just broad enough to please its rather large, & eclectic following.
Be prepared to wait a few minutes, although the restaurants multitude of seating areas seem to have branched off over the years into hidden hallways and secret garden rooms.
Basic good, hot coffee (complete with staff who seem solely dedicated to the task of keeping all the cups full) helps to keep your growling stomach at bay, while a comedically-described, fun list of deliciously tempting omelets ranging from the simple Southwestern to the brazen, 'Kitchen Sink' (comprised of who knows what), will only make you more hungry, as you toil away about what to order.
My recommendation is the Chorizo Omelet (there is some unspoken harmony between eggs & really good chorizo that I find irresistible), but for those of you calorie counters - just along to enjoy the scenery & conversation, you will be equally pleased by egg whites filled with whatever you like...
Arrive with an open-mind and an empty stomach and you're sure to have an interesting & tasty experience. For the best people-watching, try a weekend if you don't mind a short wait; then, while you anxiously await your fluffy yellow taste of breakfast-heaven, entertain your eyes with all of the bizarre items that have been lovingly collected and hung on the walls around you - some of them even for sale!
4.5 stars
Pumpkin bread is warm. Leave off butter.
HUGE portions. Great and attentive service. Every waiter/waitress helps you, not just yours.
Spuds are not homefries northerners are used to.
Corned beef hash was actual chunks of meat and obviously not from a can! (can't say the same about other places).
Mile high omelet was too big to eat and I am big guy!
Kitschy decor, but who cares with that when the food is good!
Packed for Thursday morning, but didn't have to wait.
If you have a car and you are near the strip, take the drive out. You won't be dissappointed!
this is one of those types of places with almost too many choices. I kept eying different omelet combos until the waitress finally arrived. got one with broccoli, chicken, cheddar and onion (I think). it was enormous and filling (proud I made it through a little more than half) but not heavy. the potatoes were yummy but the pumpkin bread I also ordered was pretty dry.
this place could have potentially warranted five stars but the waitress was a bit on the bitchy side. she just seemed annoyed that she had to be working.
don't know if I'd rush back here if I came back to town but it's excellent if you're craving a good omelet.
Flippin' yum! Spicy huevos rancheros, great service and reasonably priced. A catacomb of a space filled with lots of original kitche. Weekday's are great anytime; lunchtime gets hectic.
This place is located in a run down little strip mall and isn't much to look at from the outside. It's one of those places I would never have gone to unless someone had recommended it to me first. That would be Yelp, in this case. I'm glad I found it, though, because the breakfast here is great.
Their omelettes are gigantic! No one in my group was able to finish theirs. I had the Black Forrest omelette which had mushrooms, ham, and swiss. The eggs were perfect and the cheese was nice and melty. But it was just too big. I should have exercised the option to make it a "baby omelette" for $0.85 less. I had considered the option, but decided it would make me look like a wuss. I didn't want to order something off the menu with the word "baby" in it. That's worse than ordering off the kid's menu, as far as I'm concerned.
There's one thing that troubled me. There's one omelette on the menu called the "Flatlanders Special." This is what it is word for word from the menu: Raw liver, parsnips, peanut butter, organically grown black jelly beans, sauteed grunion lips (2), gardenia petals, and topped with mint ice cream (Subject to when grunions are running). It costs $69. I don't know if it's for real or if it's some kind of joke. Thinking about it now, I'm really kind of curious about it.
That aside, this place is great. Definitely check it out when you're in town. Oh, and don't leave without trying the banana nut bread or the pumpkin bread. Or both.
This place looks like it's a million years old, but the service and food are awesome.
Had the eggs benedict, the they throw on some kind of seasoning that's like paprika and parsley over everything. Tasted real yum. Their potatoes are off the hook. Banana nut bread is really good, pumpkin is ok. Waffle is nice and large, too. There is a lobster version of eggs benedict which is supposed to be the bomb but I have a seafood allergy so no thanks.
Be careful of how much you order - don't order 3-4 things like I do even if they sound/look good. Great for a bunch of hungry guys. Not far from strip. Travelers will feel welcome.
Big parking lot.
I came here after looking for a good breakfast place to take my family & boyfriend our last day in Las Vegas seeing all the good reviews.
We were not disappointed. This was seriously the best breakfast I've had in awhile! The parking lot was crowded but we found parking. The line inside was a little long but went by super fast with no waiting at all!
I ordered the eggs benedict - I can't really compare it to other places since it was only my second time eating it. The first time I had it was at Mama's in San Francisco and if I'm not mistaken I remember reading many reviews on how good the Mama's eggs benedict was. But these were 10x better! Oh my god... It was just perfect. The Hollandaise sauce was tasty and they gave just enough of it. The potatoes were also really really good. They seasoned them well. My mom kept picking them off my plate and saying how they are "sooooo good". Then again on the car ride home, "those potatoes were soooo good" Everyone really liked this place.
Def gonna come here for a good breakfast again next time I come to Vegas.
Those who read my reviews know I have A LOT to say. But for once, I shut up and just shoveled the massive amounts of food they serve here down my gullet. And to reflect that mood, I will keep this review as short and sweet as I am able to do.
-Sub egg whites for $1 more
-Make it a three egg omelette instead of the regular 6, -$ .95
-Chicken fried steak is a MUST try.
-Try the pumpkin bread. . .I'm hesitant to say this but. . .it's better than the one I make (and I make a damn good one!)
Eat here next time you're in Vegas. . .I sure will!
If we hadn't come here with locals, I may not have found this place for myself.
It's entrance it tucked way up back in a strip mall. It's the kind of place I like, though. you wind around down different corridors, into and out of small dining space. You can tell that they just kept expanding into the neighboring retail spaces. Oh, and 1982 called and they want there fake flower displays back.
The Omelet House would have gotten five stars, but our server was a little crazed about taking our order within two minutes of sitting down. Seriously, she first came to take orders at about :45 seconds. When we said we needed another minute, sh must have taken us too literally, because she came back about :60 second later. Cripes, girl, it's my first time here and you've got four pages to look through.
*EGGS BENEDICT ALERT*
Really, really good eggs bene! Probably one of the top five Hollandaise sauces I've had, flavorful, little tangy, just the right amount.
And those taters! I got to have potato chips for breakfast and not feel bad!
A pseudo-vegetarian POV:
Pluses: our server was really sweet and accommodating, no wait in line on a Monday lunch hour, lots of options for the ovo-lacto. I liked my guac omelet (just the right amt of spice), and Boyfriend got the spinach one. He wishes he got the artichoke one because it was pretty standard, BUT both of our omelets were well-filled w/ ingredients. They use real butter on their toast, too, yay! (Dont' start on me as to why I didn't get their famous bread, grrr)
Minuses: parking was surprisingly full. We had to circle twice before finding parking. Their coffee wasn't to my liking, but if you like your coffee really thin and watery (like my mom does) you won't mind it.
Other: the decor reminded me of stopping at one of those random places off the 5 on your way down to L.A., but in a good way. Lots of junk to look at on the walls, and try to get a booth.
Can't speak for the rest of the menu, but I would definitely come back...esp after a night of drinking a grip of champagne (groan).
Substitute cheese for actual flavor, burnt & limp potatoes, portions huge, unable to split checks, locally run. I support cuz its not a chain.
this place is ghetto-fabulous, and that's definitely a compliment. it has an old-school greasy-spoon feel, but it's homey at the same time. the portions are huge, and you can get tortillas instead of toast!
this place is always good for a hungover weekend breakfast....avoid the crazy $40 juice they advertise on teh tables, though.
I've been wanting to try this place out for a long time. I'm always looking for a good chicken salad for lunch. Their Cajun chicken salad was actually pretty tasty. The spices were just right and there was a decent amount of chicken on the salad. I'm not a huge fan of Iceberg lettuce, I would have preferred Romaine Lettuce or a Spinach Salad.
The portions are good and the price is reasonable...There's not too much to not like about this place...Now I just need to go back and try one of the omelets and the pumpkin bread which everybody raves about!
This place looks like a dump so you're expecting your food to suck. HOWEVER, the food is delicious! Huge portions, very tasty, great sides, attentive wait staff, all in all a great deal. It's a bit dim inside, reminiscent of a casino, and the wait for your food can be a bit long when it's busy, but it's well worth it. The banana bread is some of the best I've had. My omlette could've served three easily. i ate half and gave the other half to a friend, who heated it in a microwave and said it was still delicious an hour later.
PS The photos of the food on this page make it look nasty, but it's really quite good. Looking at those thin cut fries makes my mouth water in remembrance.
Food was excellent. Went there with about 15 people and it didn't seem that the waitress could handle the party. About 3/4 of the way through our meal the manager had noticed and the staff really pulled together and demonstrated superb service. Hopefully they are better prepared for us next time we come.
We were driving through Vegas and stayed overnight on a trip to Zion & Bryce. It was so good we made a point to eat here again on the way back home.
On the first visit, I ordered the Corned Beef Hash, and my wife ordered the Eggs Benedict. It was when I tested her dish that I decided we were hitting this place again. I'm not much of an egg person, and I find that most restaurants just don't do them to my liking. But these were heaven.
The hash was real, house-made corned beef hash, and it was damn good too, but the Eggs Benedict... whew! Easily the best eggs Benedict I've had.
Our second visit was on a Sunday, not particularly early in the morning, maybe about 10:30ish, and the service wasn't quite as friendly as the first visit, but to be fair, the service was still snappy, the personality of the server was a bit annoying. Nothing I'd knock the restaurant for.
Go there, get the Eggs Benedict.
I'm simply speaking of it's name sake for now.
And the small 3 egg versions.
Been twice now.
Best breakfast in town in my opinion. Reasonably priced also!
Gotta go with ones gut feeling. My gut says, perfect eggs, love the tatoes, and the Pumpkin, or whatever that other heated cube of breads they offer. YUM!!
I'll still shop around town.
But I found me a real strong contender if not winner!
Certainly on those weekday morns. Weekends safe to say, Crowded.
Haven't had their coffee yet due to starting at home first.
Got's to try the Joe.
Save me that table by the window please.
Overall:
Found this restaurant off of Yelp so decided to check it out. It's a family owned business serving typical diner style breakfast. Go here if you want hearty breakfast with great portions for the price, but be prepared to feel stuffed and a bit overwhelmed.
Ambiance/Location:
In the back of a strip mall, also a bit difficult to find (when you turn in, look on the back left of the parking lot). The inside is cute, with various curios on the walls and old pictures of famous people and their Best of Las Vegas articles (they won several years in the early 90's).
Food:
portions are HUGE (each omelet is made with 6 eggs, 4 if you downsize to the "baby" size). We ordered the "kitchen sink" which literally has everything in it from stew meat chunks and chili to bell peppers and onions. The lobster fest is filled with lobster, avocado, and cheese. Both tasted good, but were a bit overwhelming and heavy. (ie. if you are on any type of diet, you probably don't want to be here). Omelets are accompanied by potatoes cut like thick chips and deep fried, as well as a side of pumpkin bread, banana bread, toast, or English muffin. I highly recommend the pumpkin or banana bread which were hot, moist, hearty, and well-spiced. The pancakes were also pretty light and a bit more cake-y than others I've had. the syrup was thin and very sweet, not very flavorful.
Service:
friendly wait staff -- they recommended that we split an omelet between 2 people and were right (we didn't even finish)!
Price:
$9-11 per omelet, they didn't charge us the slit-plate fee of $0.95 so it is a great deal if you share.
$5.40 for 3 pancakes.
This is a very good diner. I've eaten here several times, and this time Holly was my waitress...she'd been working there for about a year but I've never run into her before. She's pretty good, tried hard, very nice. The food is pretty good, pretty fast, pretty reasonably priced. Great place for groups, very accomodating and convenient. Aside from the homeless beggar outside the door working the crowd, I'd have rated this place 5 stars on the coffee alone (YOWZA! That's good coffee!).
My parents insist on eating here every time they come to town. Not that I mind of course. The bugsy omelet has suckered me into trying to gorge myself on several occasions. It has Italian roast beef in it...and is scrumptious! My Mom loves the Popeye omelet, which has a lot of spinach in it. The home fries are really good too! I sometimes visit the other location on west Buffalo because it's closer. I heard they opened one in the new Alliante casino, I'll have to try that as well.
There are very few good places to eat breakfast in Las Vegas without going into a casino. There are the chains like IHOP and Blueberry Hill, and while they are solid they are not great.
This place is great! The portions are huge, the wait staff is great, and the prices are extremely reasonable. You can get a giant omelet with toast, bacon, etc for about 8 bucks. The omelets are great, but I recommend the stuffed french toast...and you can't leave the place without eating the pancakes...very tasty.
Very busy most times but well worth the wait.
We stumbled upon this place by accident several years ago while in Vegas. We were driving around looking for some place to eat breakfast and it finally got to the point of JUST FIND SOMETHING NOW I'M STARVING. And that's when the Omelet House sign appeared out of nowhere. This is my favorite place to have breakfast EVER. Great good, friendly staff, great food, huge portions, great food. I have never been disappointed yet. I wish we had a Omelet House in Phoenix !!!!
The pumpkin bread and banana bread are freshly baked and served piping hot. My girlfriend and I loved this place so much we actually came back the next day for breakfast. The omelettes are ridiculously huge...you won't leave this place hungry at all. Definitely go small if you don't have a large appetite... the regular sized omelettes are made with 6 eggs, whereas the smalls are made with 3-4.
whenever i visit my friend in vegas, we grab breakfast here. good food and great service. today i had the sausage patties and eggs with a bowl of chicken noodle soup. the soup was a little salty, but it still hit the spot. the pumpkin bread is freakin awesome! this is a must have to compliment your breakfast. two of my friends ordered the lobster eggs benedict and it looked good. lots of lobster chunks and covered in sauce.
Food was great here. For the price and the amount of food that you get, you really can not go wrong. The only thing that I found to be quite dreadful was the service. When we walked in no one that worked there was at sight. Once we were finally acknowledged and seated by a lady who looked like she was still stuck in 1989, she asked me what I wanted to drink. Before I even opened my mouth she just walked away to go and talk to some one whom she knew. Just by that, the rest of my experience was quite uncomfortable.
So the surrounding neighborhood is nothing to write home about. Reminds me of LA neighborhoods in the 80s. But if you step into this restaurant, you instantly are in another place, and it feels comfortable. Yeah, everything is kinda woodsy, but the food is where this place really shines.
We start off with coffee and water with our meals, or as our waiter calls it, "a stiff coffee and a water chaser." Hey, this place has personality too! "Waiter! Another round !"
Omelets are huge and very delicious. The Californian omelet has avocado, sausage and jack cheese. American comfort food at a good price! The only drawback is that I miss the hash browns. They have "spuds" which look basically like potato chips.
The chili is very good. It has a little kick, but it was made for most people to enjoy, so it is not too hot.
Sandwiches and burgers are also very good. They come with spuds too. Why can't they have french fries? You can check them out on the web.
