These must be the best pancakes in Austin. Wouldn’t be surprised if they had crack in them they are so insane. I recommend the buttermilk pancakes. I love adding pecans to it.You’ll find their sandwiches to be very fresh and the omelets of course are fluffy and full of flavor. Nothing bad here.Orange juice is tart and the coffee is strong.
The Omelettry is a pretty nice place to get the feel of a local diner. Its situated in a small shopping complex very close to I35.Food wise it was pretty okay, we started off with the a cup of homemade potato leek soup, its very light on the palette. The size of the cup is small so if you sharing order the bowl.For main course we got the Popeye omelette, which is pretty huge. It tasted fresh, the eggs themselves felt a little under seasoned though. We also got the baked potatoes stuffed with mushroom and onions. It is basically a huge potato, baked and then filled with sauted veggies and some sauce on top. I did not become a fan of it and left most of it on the plate. We finished off with a Gingerbread pancake which we really liked.
AMAZING stop if youre in the Austin area. Got seating as soon as we walked in. Coffee on the table within a minute. AMAZING staff!!! Super friendly and helpful. Delicious food!!! Omelet was delicious and the potatoes were soooo good. Food came out fast & hot. Portions were big for a very reasonable price. Coffee was always full and hot. Highly recommended.
Heres a little slice of a real home cooked breakfast while on the road in Austin. The gingerbread pancakes are absolutely fantastic. Try one gingerbread and one Buttermilk pancake for an extra special morning treat! Loved it!
This was my first time here and it wasnt that great to be honest. There was a 45 minute wait, which I figured because it was Fathers Day today, but once we got seated, our waitress came and didnt even seem like she wanted to serve us. No welcome, just, are you ready to order? After we ordered and received our food, she never came back. We had to ask another waiter if that was normal. He said they all help every table, so the wait staff dont have assigned tables. Then they left the tab shortly after we got our food. We were waiting for someone to come by and get it but the other waiter said we pay at the front. Our waitress said she got stuck behind the register.If this is the normal way to run an establishment, I dont think I can get behind it, but to each his own. The food wasnt too bad though, just needed seasoning, which they mustve known based on the amount of salt and pepper packets we received.
By far one of my favorite places to eat in Austin is the Omelettry. This restaurant has been a staple in my families dining experiences for years. From the old location to the new one, the integrity of the food has never changed. Not to mention the great service you receive as soon as youre seated at your table. Ive eaten here over 30 times at least and have never had one bad experience always just great food and wonderful memories. If youre ever looking for some old school Austin dining, this is your place to go.
I am astonished that this place has such good reviews and is named after their omelets. I ordered the vegetarian omelet - as described on the menu has onions, tomatoes and avocado. What I received had zero flavor, all of the ingredients were not fresh and the “avocado” was mashed up like guacamole which looked like it came from a can or tub. My boyfriend’s Spanish omelet came swimming in juice (probably from a can) and also left much to be desired. I’m truly not one to complain or write a negative review - I paid for the meal and will not be returning. It’s just a huge shock that a place like that can get away with such blan food in a city that has so many other brunch spots to choose from! Spend your $12.25 for a blan omelette elsewhere.
Let me just say that this review has nothing to do with the food, because it truly was delicious and worth every single penny! The low rating has to do with the manner that this place is ran. Upon sitting down, we were quickly asked for our drinks. Once we got them, we were asked for our orders. The first issue was we never got straws and no one ever came around for us to ask for some. I saw some up by the counter so just decided to do it myself. My daughter also wanted milk but again, no one ever came by so I had to ask the people dropping the food off several minutes later. When we did get the food, we too got our check. Maybe one more person came by for coffee refills the entire time we were there. I had to go up to the counter to get other refills. Each time I asked someone for something, they gave me the most annoyed look ever. Maybe I’m just not used to Austin and the people there, but it northern Texas this is just rude service.
The Omelettry!An oldie but goodie in Austin ❤️I thought they were gone ☹️ since I didnt see them on Burnet, but then I remembered that they had moved way back when 😁They moved and are at the Airport Rd. east of I35The new digs are nice and clean (It is a but smaller that the old location). Still doing the communal waitering experience ☺️The menu items look the same at least I recognized many of the dishes. The food is excellent. I had the Mushroom Omelette with stack of gingerbread pancakes (a must). The Omelette was smaller than I remember back in the day but dont get me wrong it is a good portion. I guess I remember it differently since I always took home leftovers. Maybe it is the same since I could only eat half my pancakes ad usual 😉The staff was very courteous and friendly and the order came in fast (maybe because I was here by myself, at 9 am on a Wednesday). All in all its really good to see the old gal us still here. An Austin institution that adds to the charm of this rapidly changing town.If youve never been you need to visit, If you used to go in the past come back.
Another delicious meal from an Austin original. Still the best bacon anywhere. Crispy, the way it tastes best to me. Makes for a great chip too! Paleo friendly menu is another gem to find. I will continue to vote with my dollar to the restaurants who do not
Ive eaten at The Omelettry for years, now. It is run like a small business and has stayed small. The staff is homey. The bathrooms are adequate.Because I have a gluten intolerance, Ive only ordered eggs and bacon. When they introduced gluten free pancakes, I was thrilled! The pancakes are pink (LoL!) and delicious (yum!).But, the last trip to Austin, I ordered gluten free pancakes and was given pancakes that were white. (Not the normal pink, which Ive come to associate with gluten free pancakes, here.) I as skeptical but as assured that they were the same gluten free pancakes. I ate one but I got sick almost immediately. Im deducting only one star because this is one bad experience among several dozen good ones. Ill still go back and update my review.
When I think of an omelet, I think of the fixings being mixed into the egg. I had the house special with no bell pepper. I got an egg flap with cheese, onions, small bits of spinach, mushrooms, cubed ham, and what seemed like a cup of sliced olives. Olives, mind you, do not appear in the list of fixings on the menu. I would have absolutely left them out. The buttermilk pancakes were way below average, and the bacon slices were super brittle. It was more like a bacon chip.Other considerations: it took my party of 2 about 30 minutes to be seated, and it took at least 20 minutes to get our order. We were never asked if we needed anything; in fact, I had to approach the counter a couple of times to get sugar and creamer.I wouldnt come here again.
Food is great service was nonexistent. If you cant take care of someone sitting at the counter, then find another job Mando.
Here its all about the egg. If you can imagine your favorite omelette they will cook it up for you. Dont worry they have lots of other selections as well. Fresh fruit - of course. Due to social distancing seeing is limited. They are really providing customers with a safe environment to eat in. We will be back!
Food was good service lacked. Waiter never checked on us. Had to flag him down just to get our coffees refilled.
Meh. Not great. Salsa on the omlet was more like stewed tomatoes. Not good. Glad I could swipe it off the omlet. Bacon that was ordered as a side was paper thin, looked precooked and nasty. Literally broke when picked up. Server unhelpful and seemed irritated. Omlet was basically just cheese if I hadnt added sausage. Dont understand why this place has good ratings.
An Austin tradition. They moved locations since I went there about 7 years ago. It gets crowded, but we sat at the bar so not much wait time. I had the avocado BLT and my granddaughter had pancakes, eggs and sausage. We were both very very happy with our food and service.
No wait. Very good food. We saw our waitress only once, to take our order, then we never saw her again. Other than that, it was a pleasant visit. Plenty of food and good options. Fresh ingredients. The staff (everyone EXCEPT our waitress) was very attentive. They have breakfast all day and also have lunch options. Nothing fancy. But those often are the best places to eat. Will come here again for sure.
The Omelettry off Airport Blvd is wonderful!! I got the ham and cheese omelette with mushrooms and queso on the side. My side was a short stack of blueberry buttermilk pancakes. Wow, I’m drooling as I type this now. They are known for their omelettes but I now have to get the fluffy pancakes as well whenever I go. I’m sure the other food is also great but I don’t think I can change it up as I found the gold!!
Really tasty. The bacon was razor thin and super crispy. The pancakes where fluffy and thick. The French toast was the right amount of cinnamon/sweet. And I wish my eggs looked like their scrambled eggs.
Its a good little joint! There are board separations (clear) there! I really love Sweet Ritual (awesome vegan ice cream shop)right next door! Also, Toy Joy is in the same plaza across the way!!! Very Austiny Ive lived here over 20 years-so trust.
It was great! Quick service and good food. Only criticism i have is the wait but thats what you should expect at a great establishment :)
We found this place on line but we were not sure what to expect. We were greated by Laura. I have to say she was the nicest person there. She always had a smile on her face and great recommendations. Since this was our first time she explained the process to us. The food was good but the best was the gingerbread pancakes which were superb. Best thing I have had. I would have given 5 stars but for a couple of things. 1. The toast comes not butter which annoys me to no end.(upside is that there is at least not frozen butter) 2. There was a blond lady in a red shirt who seemed very annoyed to be helping/working today at all. Gave us our salsa right onto our check and not friendly at all. 4. The potatoes tasted stale. All in All great vista and worth the 50 min wait time.
Was so excited to try this place, but honestly, it was easy too tell all of the ingredients are prepackaged or canned, not fresh. Vegetables, beans, guacamole, all of it terrible. For a place that specializes in omelettes to have such mediocre omelettes was a big let down. Pancakes were good, Ill give them that. My biggest regret was not taking a picture of my omelette swimming in juice from the canned peppers and pico on my Spanish omelette.
We had eggs Benedict with queso replacing the hollondaise sauce with home fries and a cheese omelet with bacon and mushrooms with a side of buttermilk pancakes. Everything was amazing but the eggs Benedict were the star of the show. Replacing with queso is revolutionary and you need to try it. The pancakes were sweet and perfectly fluffy. The coffee was standard diner coffee but decent. The omelette was great as well. All for a good price. Highly recommend
We have been going her for a decade or more. They have the absolute best pancakes, best omelets, best coffee and they are worth any wait they every have. The wait staff are efficient and although they dont talk much, thats never bothered me much because just seeing the same familiar faces in this cozy little diner just feels perfect.
Great local place to eat if you want some eggs or omelet. Hostess was super friendly but other staff were not so much as other folks said.
Kind of has a small town restaurant vibe to it. I brought my family here based on the good reviews, but I do recommend trying a different spot. The Spanish omelette looks like they dumped a can of rotel tomatoes on top of it and most of the house fries were too burnt to eat. Service was ok. Some employees were friendly most were not. Restrooms did not work so we couldn’t wash our hands. Price is Average. We paid $44 for 3 meals and 2 drinks. Overall, it wasn’t too bad, but not a place I’ll try again. Coffee was very good!
Old school establishment of Austin - a tried and true fare of American breakfast cuisine. I tend to favorite their house or vegetarian omelets w/o cheese and their gluten free pancakes. Their ingredients taste fresh and come right out of the kitchen. The service is quick. The prices are very fair. Eat local!
Good pancakes. big omelets. Horchata is nice and a has light coconut flavor. Fast service. Clean. Not so busy around 8
Great BLT. Great potato leek soup. Great French Toast. Great bacon. Great coffee. Pleasant staff.
Great food, terrific service. Love the atmosphere and the local flavor. Got some pancakes and such delicious!! Will definitely repeat this visit when next in Austin.
Amazing menu! Great services. For sure I will come back!
Delicious food. Good service. We went on a Sunday at about 9:30 am and had a 20 minute wait. There were 6 parties ahead of us, so I dont think that was too bad.
Amazing Tasting food, Awesome service. I cant wait to visit again 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Wonderful breakfast place. The food was fantastic. In fact, this whole shopping center was great. The grand is a great bar and the toy store is second to none
Love the bistro seats outside. Make it easy to wait if there is much of a wait. Cute place. Good food. Great service. Good coffee and breakfast.
This place is so good! The prices are fairly cheap and you get a ton of food! The staff was so sweet and so down to Earth. A must for anyone needing breakfast!
The Omelettry was truly spectacular! After a long Friday night, we needed a great meal to bring us back to life and start the day off right! I went with the House Special with pancakes and I immediately knew it was going to be a great day. Not only was the food good, but it was very very filling. I would highly recommend this place as a brunch spot for anyone and everyone.
Terrible experience; service was abysmal, and the food left me feeling ill. I was told at the door to sit “whereever” after the fool at the counter rolled his eyes and finished telling his coworker about his date the night before. Food was bland. The pancakes, served at room temperature, broke like stale bread when I cut into them. The spinach in my omelette tasted like cold algae. This was once a fantastic neighborhood place; now you are better off grabbing breakfast from McDonalds.
The waitress was amazing, she hustled and took great care of us. Coffee is delicious, the omelettes are good, and SERIOUSLY - GET THE GINGERBREAD PANCAKES. They taste like Christmas. And heaven. And all of the good things. So, so yummy. Adorable decor, cozy, friendly environment, and the food is magnificent. Perfect spot to get your brekkie craving satisfied.
This was my first time at this restaurant, I really loved it. I just felt sorry for a mistake that I made, I order a vegetables soup, but I didnt know It has a lot of beans, and I cant eat beans for my stomach, so I changed for potatoes soup, which was very good. But I was so sorry, It was my mistake. But the omelette was so good, everything, was wonderful.
Wheewww Great great great gluten free pancakes and omelettes. Everything was great. Good service, friendly people, nice atmosphere. We came in a group on a Saturday early afternoon and it wasn’t crowded. I would recommend.
Great place for breakfast on Sunday. Outstanding service and fantastic food. The Popeyes omelette is awesome. I highly recommend this location.
If you are looking for a comfy, friendly, and an all around great diner, The Omelettry is the place to go.The menu is good, but the real pull of this restuarant is the decor and atmosphere. There is plenty look at and there is history in every board of the building. The seating arrangement is tight, but not claustrophobic. Making for a very warm and friendly experience.The menu is good, albeit a tad bit limited. The eggs are obviously what they are known for. So if youre not ordering them, then youre missing out.Finally, I dont usually talk about how often my coffee cup gets refilled, but our waiter was on top of it. It was better than having the coffee pot at the table, that was how good they were.Great restaurant for some down home cooking.
Was pretty delicious despite the long wait!! My mother in law started feeling a bit peckish and queasy while waiting and the sweet hostess offered her a bowl of fruit and a glass of water to get her blood sugar up....it was so sweet and really helped! I didnt catch her name but she went above and beyond in my eyes....super sweet! My food was yummy, I had the avocado BLT...was even better when I asked for a side of ranch dressing....really put it over the top! I also had a gingerbread pancake, which was delicious as well! (Judge if you want, LOL, I am pregnant!! ) my mother in law and husband enjoyed their food as well!! Nice service, some cool art displayed. First time visiting, will probably come back!
We came for a road trip and wanted to eat with the locals restaurants...our food was delicious with great customer service. The pancakes were so good had a hint of ginger
Wonderful place with excellent service and awesome food! So glad we passed on going to IHOP and came here instead!
- omelet was mediocre and extremely greasy- chicken was bland+ Iced tea was good
I was pretty excited to try this place out after a friend suggested it for brunch. The service was great but we had some serious stomach issues for the rest of the day and unfortunately the only thing we all ate were the eggs. Id assume this is a rare thing for such a popular omlet spot but Ill just get my scrabbled eggs from elsewhere to be safe.
Was amazingly great... food was great and staff was very awesome. Definitely making my breakfast when in Austin
My daughter been telling me about this place for months. We went there for breakfast and it was soooo good, alit if food by fir great prices and the staff is fabulous. You need to go there to eat.
The food was okay. Got the Burnet rd. Benedict. No where on the menu did it say it had any jalapeños but thats fine. Dont care about that much. What I do care about is the poor service recieved by the waitress that assisted us. My girlfriend and I clearly stated that we wanted the same meal. The waitress understood and only brought us one meal for the both of us to share. Not a problem simple mistake. My girlfriend started eating some of the meal and found there were jalapeños in the dish which she cannot eat due to an intolerance. She tried getting the attention of the waitress with no luck. She went over to the bar to get her attention to stop the second dish that was getting made merely 1 minute after we corrected her mistake and the waitress gave her attitude then stopped serving us the rest of the visit. She had to get another waiter to assist us when we were polite as hell. Learn customer service before you work this type of business.
Food is fantastic. Place is busy but the staff know whats what and keep things running smoothly.
Perfect for diner breakfast. Its like being in the movie Pulp Fiction.
Awesome Resteraunt, clean... Service was quick, food was delish and prices were very reasonable. Waiter was very polite and checked on us frequently.
Food was really good and got seated quickly!
The food here was REALLY GOOD! I was so pleasantly surprised. My wife and I both got the Burnet Road Benedict which was a ton of food. Had we known we would have split one. Anyway, it was loaded with cheese, bacon, eggs, and all kinds of goodness. I would definitely order it again. The only problem we ran into was with our initial waiter. As we first walked in, we got the table we wanted. But then a big family of 5 came in and he wanted to merge the tables. His idea was to seat us in a booth next to his station which was loud with all kinds of dishes clanking. We decided we wanted a further booth instead, it just needed to be cleaned. With this response he got snappy and said SIT TIGHT as he proceeded to shuffle and slam dishes/silverware shortly after. My wife got up and asked if we could sit away from that waiter as he clearly was not ready to help us. The ladies at the front were very apologetic and had no problem seating us elsewhere. Our waitress from there was very nice and we made sure to tip her well in spite of the earlier guy with a temper tantrum.
Went on a Sunday afternoon and the wait wasnt bad, less than 15 minutes. During the wait, one of the waiters offered us drinks which I thought was nice.I had an omelette and was satisfied with the portion. I had a side of the home fries (recommend) and fruit with my omelette. The waiters come around each table which can be a good thing, although you might have to tell someone every minute that you arent ready to order. Worth coming back a second time.
First time there (friend dragged me) and I was pleasently impressed.Great breakfast menu, with just enough of a twist to make it delightful instead of overbearing or inedible.Staff was friendly, and service was prompt.Table are either socially distanced, or seperated by solid partitions when that isnt an option (partitions were sonly done with booth seating, tables were all distanced).
Great place to eat employees very helpful
Long wait, but food was really good. Service was as well. We will be back when in town again 😊
Despite a pandemic, everyone was without a mask. The food was OK. I cannot say more.
Awesome breakfast!! Great pancakes!! Outstanding service!!
This is one of those dive places you hear about that only the locals seem to know.A great place with very affordable, tasty food and great service.
Overall the food was good the potatoes however left a lot to be desired it seemed that they were boiled before they were fried because they were mushy instead of good infirm like home fry should be we didnt try the pancakes but the toast and the omelets were top notch
Great local place full of charm and affordable delicious breakfast food.
Straight forward, old school breakfast menu that gets it right. Their omelets are delicious and I highly recommend their French toast if you want something sweet.
Besides my scratch pecan buttermilk pancakes, the Omelettry has the best American breakfast, hands down.
Want your new favorite breakfast place? THE FOOD IS SO G.D. GOOD. Home fries, eggs, pancakes and thick cut bacon. Could die in peace after a breakfast like that.
Great food but not amazing and no clean seating 😢
Not very welcoming, at least to us on Valentines Day of all days. No sort of greeting feeling. Never came back to our table to ask if we were fine. Just left the check at end of our table. Didnt ask if we needed anything else or a box to go. Food was good tho, except for the stack of butter they put on pancakes, and toast (gross) Thank you for the experience on Valentines Day!
Very good quality, small quantity. The service was great.
