What People Are Saying About Omelettry

In Short
Black-and-white checkerboard floors, cinderblock walls and colorful vinyl tablecloths make up the simple decor. College kids and the slacker crowd dominate the clientele. The menu runs the gamut of omelets, each prepared to your liking. There's also potato-leek soup, with a thick, creamy base studded with large pieces of potatoes. Gingerbread pancakes are generously filled with fresh blueberries. Huevos rancheros are topped with a hearty salsa of tomatoes, onions and jalapenos.

Ok, so the place looks like a dump and just does not look like it could be clean but man oh man are the pancakes delicious. I don't know what magic they use but they have nailed the perfect breakfast pancake. Alt Rock staff is always surprisingly friendly although overworked, they do a brisk business so expect a wait. Just watch your kids as the wait area flows into the busy parking lot. Excellent breakfast everytime we go.

Do you look forward to a hot homemade breakfast? Do you appreciate a clean restaurant? Do you LIKE to pay a fee to use your credit card? Atmosphere is one thing, dirt is another. For instance, take a minute to look up--are there clumps of dirt clinging to the fan blades? And take a peek into the kitchen as you pass by...This was the first 'flag' on my recent visit here. I ordered the Huevos Rancheros, and they were hugely disappointing. The scrambled eggs were laying in a puddle of watery liquid, the black beans tasted as if they were poured directly from a can on to the plate, as were the tasteless canned diced tomatoes with jalapenos (likely source of the puddle) that were heated and then poured over the eggs...no seasoning whatsoever, nothing 'fresh' on the plate. The 'side' of potatoes looked as if the dirt on the skins had not been scrubbed off before cooking and were mostly under baked. The final frustration was at the check out, they do not take any form of payment other than cash. If you didn't realize this, you now have one option--their 'ATM' gadget which is duct taped to a stand next to the register. There is a $1.50 fee to use the machine (which appears to be owned by the restaurant, so the fee is theirs!) Seems to be a scam here...why not accept debit cards then?? It all adds up to a very bad taste.

Every times I've been to the Omelettry I've had a good experience. You can get plenty to eat for a good price, the service is attentive, but you can still read the morning paper in peace without feeling the waitress is trying to rush you out the door. Highly recommended.
