Diner in a Texas border town for breakfast with relatives who we were visiting Large interior divided into different rooms so there's never that impression that the place is empty - with the added benefit of keeping the volume down Standard breakfast fare - my veggie omelette was on point Attentive service without being intrusive - and that coffee kept coming automatically Excellent- you will not be disappointed read more

Country Omelette - The view from the parking lot - not hard to find - Burgers Near Me - Mcallen, Texas

This is one of the best breakfast restaurants we've ever been to, and we have dined all over this country!

Yummy yummy in my tummy. This review is for my first and second visit. Food was perfect. Warm and simple. In my first visit i came with my daughters on a Saturday morning. Super busy. Yet they try their best to give you the best service. Second visit I came with my husband. We sat at the kitchen bar. Nice waiters at 7am. Both visits were pleasant. Our family might just make it our morning breakfast stop. read more

When traveling for work, I like to find local establishments to visit & support. I found the "COUNTRY OMELETTE" for breakfast via Yelp. Reasonable prices, Friendly and attentive servers, and a menu of choices. I would definitely come back her for breakfast but probably not prefer the "country breakfast #116 on menu). I'm soooo stuffed --- need a nap now. read more

Country Omelette - Country Breakfast - 3 eggs, bacon (or option ofsausage patties), a biscuit with sausage gravy, & hash browns. So filling!! - Burgers Near Me - Mcallen, Texas

See all

I like to eat...I like to eat at local restaurants when I travel (I travel a lot) I'm what the Mexicans call, " Gordo Gringo" fat white man). My favorite breakfast place in the world is Russell's Marina in NOLA. This place however, is a VERY close 2nd. During my first visit, I thought, "not bad, I'd eat here again" but the 2nd and now 3rd my life changed. Not like saved by Jesus changed, more like, "I need a post breakfast nap so that I can dream about their breakfast" You might ask, what changed? Grilled biscuits and sausage gravy. First bite, I saw the light! Breakfast salvation that changed me forever. In closing, when in McAllen this is a must! read more

The service is bad. Wait staff will not refill coffee or take an additional order unless they are your waiter. There is alot of yelling behind the kitchen counter which is not very professional. Tried giving them a second and third chance and same bad service. Food is good if your able to get your order in by your waiter. Owners need to step in to fix this sinking ship. read more

The food is amazing!! This place never disappoints!! Service is phenomenal! Love the renovations that they have done!!

Last time i was here... ordered a Machacado plate not good at all! Today ordered a Garden Omelette with ham! Oh my lord!!! It was super delicious! With the salsita and aguacate on the side! Yessss very damn good! read more

2.5 stars: This place just isn't the same since the original owners sold & then the original location burned down (formerly located across from Melba's dance studio & old Sun Harvest). The menu has pretty much stayed the same but, the food (lunch) is always cold or lukewarm. Your safest bet is to stick w/the omelettes or a cold sandwich. This place is mostly for the older, retired population. The only reason I occasionally come is so my Mom can catch up w/old friends. read more

RIP original country omelette. The new spot is certainly cleaner than the old hole in the wall but it's just disconcerting. The whole place is done in movie chic... or movie ugly. Red and black walls, big movie posters, low laminate tables and ancient roll-y chairs scream tragic ghost town diner, not delicious food. Even if it was in a quaint country cottage, the service and the food is lacking. It actually has good flavor but prices and slow service just don't do much to rectify the fact that your eyes are bleeding. I think the reason this place succeeds is that in its old incarnation, it was a breakfast cornerstone. The anemic salad bar and a hideous bathroom are also highly unfortunate. Much better place with a few improvements in their food, service and decor. read more

I think their omelets are delicious. EXCEPT when it takes the wait person 20+ minutes to take our order and it was almost an hour before the food arrived. As an experienced restaurant manager, I see the lack of organization and chaos that results. Maybe the manager doesn't realize what acceptable standards are? But so long as people continue to go there, they won't change. read more

I had not been here in years, probably since I was little and to the previous location. I took my boys today and it was great. The service was great and so was the food. read more

This is our "go to" place for breakfast when I'm in town visiting my folks. The owners are great, the wait staff are lovely, and the food is good at a reasonable price. Intensely busy on Saturday or Sunday mornings, and during the winter when the northerners are here. Say hi to Joe or Kiki for me! read more

Great place to go for Breakfast, Brunch or Lunch. Mom says they have the best coffee (I'm not a coffee person). They always keep her cup full. I usually get breakfast there, the bacon is awesome. read more

I've been twice and I'm never disappointed. The service is so fast and I love the omelettes so much that I can't try anything else although it all looks great. I had the large omelette with bacon potatoes and cheese and cubes potatoes on the side. It was perfectly cooked and just so good. If breakfast isn't your thing at lunch time they have amazing lunch specials that would be delivered to you quickly if you're on a short lunch break. Thanks Country Omelette for always being great! read more

First timer and the service was great! Food was delicious our waiter Joe was AWESOME! Thank you for your service (owner). We will be coming back again. America first! read more

First time here and we noticed poor multitasking abilities. We were looked passed for coffee refills and struggled to get the attention of our waiter. Food was good but we won't be making this our regular stop. read more

I was not excited to go to the "Country Omelette" when my aunt suggested that's where we go for lunch. I'm in the Valley, I want enchiladas or tacos, or anything Mexican. The enchiladas happened to be the lunch special that afternoon, and man they were good. Service was fairly prompt. It wasn't the most spectacular lunch I've ever eaten, but it certainly lived up to what I was hoping to eat. read more

Pretty good food and service. Enjoyed a quiet thanksgiving breakfast with the family. Definitely will go back!

Been going here on & off for years In the last few months I have been there an average 3 times per week for breakfast Service over this last year has gotten worse than ever This morning I had at least 3 servers walk past my table without any word spoken Sat for about 10 minutes before I got up and walked out No one ever said one word to me Food has been solid over the years but the service is no longer there Very hit or miss read more

Their bacon was so crisp, their fried biscuit was so amazing, my girlfriend proposed to me!

It is nice that there is adequate staff to handle the Sunday crowd. Food was marginal. It was not hot but I did not send it back. That's asking for trouble. read more

Excellent food!!! Best homemade bisects and gravy steak was cooked perfectly, and the beans were on point

Best Biscuits & Sausage Gravy so far that we have found. Place was busy for a Tuesday morning but service was great, quick & friendly

Simple food, laid back atmosphere. Prices are great on the pocket book. Your coffee is always filled up.

Mom 'n pop at its purest. This place reminds me of a scene from the TV series Parks and Recreation: a small-town cafe where the city's "movers & shakers" go to share ideas & have some old-fashioned breakfast. That breakfast is pure Valley too. It ranges from eggs, toast, & pancakes to chorizo, migas, & menudo. Personally, I'm inclined towards the migas a la Mexicana, a slightly spicy mix of jalapeños, green onion, & tomato in crispy, golden brown maize tortillas with egg. And even during the busy morning hours, they seem to run a tight ship. Waiters help each other keep coffee cups filled, bus boys help keep tables clean, & hosts help with everything else. Come for the ambience & stay for the food. Easily my top choice for local dine-in breakfast. read more

I just love this restaurant!!! It beats Denny's and IHOP any day of the week! My wife and I usually go after church on Sundays and even with a standing room only, we get seated quickly and served even quicker! After ordering at Denny's or IHOP, you usually expect to wait 15 20 minutes minimum to receive your food. Not at the Country Omelette! Your order comes within 10 minutes tops! Can you believe that! Oh, and the food is to die for too. Everything we've ate on the menu is great. Nice staff too! After the restaurant suffered a fire, they moved down the road into the old Caro's Restaurant building located at 2622 N 10th Street in McAllen. You've just got to stop at least once and enjoy the meal like my wife and I do. read more

There is a group of 6 that meet there just about every Wed for breakfast. We enjoy their breakfast & service is very good.....we get a great waitress if we can get her area...she is so friendly & a really wonderful person....she always has a smile & a hug for us. I know some of us are a little demanding about their coffee & she is always there with a smile. I love the French Toast, only place in the valley it is served & the middle isn't soggy. The biscuits & sausage gravy is a favorite with our group. Love the food, service & atmosphere. Everyone there is wonderful.... read more

Excellent place to eat, They are very helpful. Remindes me of the old time's. I would really recommend this place to anyone.

Haven't been here in a while but wow it hit the spot . Our waitress was so helpful , and polite. The only thing I did not like was my eggs ( I'm very picky on eggs ) or the fact 2 small orenge juices cost 5$ , but other then that it was a great breakfast after church . read more

LONG POST: My mom and I had visited the old location awhile back prior to our visit this past weekend; Saturday to be specific. The food was great and the service was speedy. The only thing I did not appreciate was our server; he seemed annoyed when we would ask him questions and he was literally yelling at us from the kiosk where he puts in the orders and confirming our order from all the way over there. I asked him if the difference between the small omelet and the big one was the amount of eggs used or if they were served with extra sides and this man literally put his hands down on the table, stared at me confused, squint his eyes, and looked at me as if I had asked him for a pizza to go or something bizarre but it was a genuine question. His response was, "Well yeah?? The large has 3 eggs and the small has 2" & proceeded to move his arms up like "duh". I looked at him so confused like where is this coming from? That really took away from the experience and he was also being rude to the table behind us. I CLEARLY heard him serve the guy behind us and say "Here is your short stack" and walked away quickly so I turned and it seemed like the man needed something because he raised his hand to get the server's attention and the server legit YELLED like from 10 feet away and asked him, "WHAT?!?! There's your short stack!" and the man was like "I was gonna ask for some butter." The server then said "omg man." and he walked away and I was like dude...WHAT??? Like I get it's busy, but there was no need for his attitude and remarks. If we ever go back, I will kindly ask that he is not our server. I used to be a server and this kind of attitude is not okay. I still left him $3 tip because I have been in his shoes but this man needed a major attitude check. I felt so unwelcomed that I didn't even have the energy to speak to a manager. read more

Awesome food and great service! I order fajita tacos with cheese. They're pricey but really tasty

One of the "tests" of a breakfast place in the South, is grits. The other is hash brown potatoes. Their grits were tasteless, watery and lumpy, and the hash browns came out of a bag. Eggs were OK and cooked right, sausage was OK. But gris are a little hard to do, like good cream gravy. Gotta have someone who knows cooking. Won't return. read more

Oh my goodness, where to begin? The food I tried was absolutely phenomenal: the eggs were perfect, the Texas biscuits were delicious and the bacon was not only superbly prepared, but I swear to you, I have NEVER had bacon that was as thick or fresh as the stuff they have there. No, really, I could've swore it was oinking seconds ago, it was that tasty. The pancakes are always fluffy and they're big to boot, so you get your money's worth. Perhaps my favorite aspect of my varied experiences, however, was the customer service. My server, Katie, was not only very nice but recommended a dish that was both affordable and filling. Quick with the coffee, too. And finally, the price. I went with a friend of mine and we ordered coffee, a Country breakfast (3 eggs, bacon, biscuits, hashbrowns) as well as a full stack of pancakes (3) . It was 17 dollars! Maybe the one caveat was that it's main customers are older people so if you're younger, like me, you'll feel a little strange but everything else more than makes up for it. All in all, great experiences every time although I will admit that some aspects like the bathrooms or the cushions are a bit 'worn' in but not to the point of being unpleasant. read more

Went for their breakfast. Omelet was wonderful. My husband ordered biscuits and gravy and he said his was also very good. They serve really big portions. Wait staff was friendly read more

This is by far one of my favorite breakfast places and hands down better than any Denny's and Ihop any day! We talked this place up so much to my Pastor Joel last week that we decided to invite him to breakfast this morning. I had to send my eggs back twice and being in the service industry myself i know better than to contradict what the guest says. What the guest says goes. Let's get the problem fixed. Unfortunately i was met by a snooty remark from the casheir and that was unnecessary. I like my eggs runny just not RAW. My eggs were sent back twice for being undercooked and finally got it right and my eggs were great. Everything was great. He loved everything. Unfortunately we got no apology of any sorts and much to my disappointment my Pastor paid for our breakfast without any compensation whatsoever. We will be back. We always go back. I just hope they get my eggs right and if they don't its ok, i understand. You can keep the back talk, that i do not want. read more
