Our meals were delicious! My husband had eggs Benedict and grits. I had the pigs in a blanket and a two egg omelette with cheese, onion and mushrooms. Our server was welcoming and engaging. The atmosphere was like going to a family's house for breakfast! read more

This place is off the hook... i adore the crepe stke veggie omelette- potatoes are grilled sautéed and the rye toast is my favorite- plus coffee and service staff are fabulous. read more

We didn't have to wait at noon on a Sunday for a party of six. The service was slow but it felt very rushed. The was fine. It wasn't our first choice, but that place had a 45-60 minute wait. The ambiance is average. Would I recommend it? Maybe. read more

Nice selection of interesting crepe Omelettes. Had the Opa omelette with pita. The lettuce inside sounds weird at first but it's delicious. Quantity is not lacking. Friendly staff. read more

Been going there regularly for over a year. Excellent service. Great variety for breakfast. Have yet to try lunch

Its been many years since I have been at this establishment and I decided to try something different and revisit this business the other day. I had two eggs over medium with American fries and bacon for my breakfast. The eggs and potatoes were well made and in line with what you would get at most restaurants in the area but I thought my bacon was a bit too crisp based on my personal tastes. Service was very good with great follow up where they give you your own small thermos for coffee refills which I love and wish more businesses in the area did this. Also the prices was quite reasonable for a Detroit area restaurant which also is worth noting especially if you are of a cost conscious mindset which I am being a retiree. The one thing I am cognizant of is that I didn't try their signature ommellets which may very well be a separator for this restaurant versus other breakfast joints in the area which might have warranted a higher rating. Maybe next time where my review will be updated at that time to reflect this. read more

I had a great breakfast here. Karen, our waitress, was very knowledgeable and helped me modify my meal to eat grain free. She confirmed everything with the kitchen to be safe for me-which was very much appreciated. I had the Eggs Benny Tuscan with bread subbed out for hash browns. The hash browns were delightfully crunchy and the hollandaise had a nice lemony zing. Another team member came to check in on us to make sure everything was being well received and ensure there were no issues with my allergies. Great service, great food. Will return. read more

Haven't been here in years! It's just like it has always been. Went for breakfast on a Sunday. Wasn't super busy when we first got there. Waitresses were wearing masks. Other patrons were as well as they waited for food. That was a first! But was comforting. They were at half capacity and distancing customers. Our waitress was sweet. Others were a little grumpy. Maybe they were stressed? That's the only reason I didn't give a 5. We all have days, but leave it at home. I got the carrot cake pancakes. Holy yum!!! They were amazing. A hint of cinnamon, shredded carrots, walnuts, and drizzled in icing. They were sweet, but not so sweet that you felt like you were eating dessert. Love their coffee. The waitress brought us a carafe which was nice. The coffee has a bold nutty flavor. I also had a side of bacon that was well done. Just how I like it. The cost was cheaper than I remember it being. $26 for a huge yogurt parfait, 3 egg omelette, 2 coffees, half order of carrot cake pancakes, and a side of bacon. The restaurant was clean. I love the feel of it. The cozy neighborhood breakfast spot. It was great going back! read more

Having been fully vaccinated, I decided to go back to Gest Omelettes today. (I have been a few times since my last review.) I was glad to see that there weren't many people there; since it's not a large restaurant, I was concerned about feeling like there were too many people. They have new menus now, with slightly increased prices, but pretty much the same offerings. I had a country omelette, and it was good. It came with a biscuit, and I really would have liked some jelly with it, but I couldn't catch a waitperson's attention to ask for some. Not a big deal, though. The one thing that really rubbed me the wrong way was a sign at the entrance which said to be patient, as they're short-staffed because people haven't come back to work. First of all, there was an adequate number of people there for the number of customers. Second, that really seems like an unnecessary political dig, and I ALMOST felt like saying that, perhaps if people were paid more, they'd be more willing to work. Oh, and even though restrictions have eased some, WE'RE STILL IN A PANDEMIC! Perhaps people are not yet comfortable returning to work with the public yet! If they needed to post anything (and I don't think they did), just a sign saying something to the effect of "Please be patient while we adjust to new routines" would have been sufficient. read more

Been coming here for years, and usually always get the same omelette because it's unique to this place. The one-egg omelette used to be plenty, but I am shocked at how much smaller they've gotten. Left hungry. read more

what happened here?? Used to be fabulous!! used to eat at rthe original in Redford, too! Went into an empty resturant.....(one other table with 3 men. Ordered a $20 omelet. similar to the ones I had always enjoyed before. they used to be really high and made in oven.....what I got was 1/4 inch thick with the inside incredients fried ahead of time in a lump! (did order avocado and saw maybe two pea size pieces of avocado). never had the lettuce inside before either..not a good idea as it was limp. Sorry used to love this place but when you try to make up for stuff by raising prices and doing things like charging $4 for a soft drink, then you have lost me......... Service was ok...only one waitress for whole dining room....... read more

Excellent food & wonderful service. Had the Popeye crepe. Boyfriend had the Huervo Rancheros. Both were amazing!!

The wait for food is horrible. Four people in the kitchen and they can't get food out. So far it's been 45 minutes. They blame it on lack of help but the kitchen can only hold four people. We are tired of excuses. L. George's in Walled Lake has four people in the kitchen, and they bang out the food. It's always hot and great tasting. I used to love Gest Omelets. Sorry, I am done. We will not be back. We walked out. Five tables that came in after us got their food. We were told it was because we wanted our home fries crispy. Give me a break. Horrible experience. read more

Decent food but expensive. Up charge on credit card use. Lots of other breakfast locations to choose from that don't do this.

Food was good...but was extremely expensive!! We got there at noon. ..there was one other couple in the place. My husband had a tuna fish sandwich and upgraded from chips to fries ($4.19 upgrade!!) I had a chicken gyro and we each had a diet pop..... $41!!! I had to look at the bill twice!! Obviously, we should have looked at the prices on the menu, but we knew what we wanted, and it was just a Coney island type restaurant in a strip mall. I think maybe their prices are why it was empty!! read more

Smaller than I remembered, Gest is a diner-styled restaurant in a local strip mall. I think of it as a place to brunch, conveniently located near my friend's childhood home. Despite its name, it offers more than breakfast; its lunch menu includes sandwiches and salads. The breakfast menu caters to all appetites with omelettes available with one, two or three eggs. Additionally, guests can create their own from an extensive list of ingredients. A variety of Eggs Benedicts are available, as are popular breakfast platters. I was in the mood for the Country Omelette, where sausage, onions, cheese and lettuce were folded into 2 eggs. It was topped with a healthy-sized serving of country gravy. The lettuce added freshness to the heavy meal and the combination was good. Less good were the side of hash browns and country biscuit. The hash browns had a mashed potato consistency with a hard (almost stale-like) crust. I was very disappointed by what should have been a diner staple. The biscuit was literally hard to swallow; it was so dry that I only had a few bites. This says a lot since I love country biscuits. I also sampled the pancake which was delicious. While I am a serviceable at-home cook, I'm terrible at making pancakes so I appreciate them even more. Service was prompt and efficient. read more

This place was the best. Lest time I went, they make blank omlettes and when you order one, they stuff it and warm it. It tasted like leftovers from the first bite. I wont be going back. read more

The omelets are amazing, pancakes are really good. The egg platter is really good, sausages hash browns are excellent. a Great diner, I recommend it. read more

There's something else in the omelette's other than eggs that should be listed on the menu. Other than that food was good although a bit pricey. The service was top notch! read more

Breakfast at Gest Omelettes was fantastic! I had the potato pancakes and then were served with applesauce and sour cream just like I love it. My sister ordered the pumpkin pancakes and they were light and fluffy and served with a delicious apple butter cinnamon sauce and were to die for! Service was fast, friendly and the orders were exactly right. SPECIAL NOTE: the murals on the walls were handprints works of art. Beautiful. I highly recommend this restaurant! read more

Gest Omelettes Restaurant - a breakfast of eggs, sausages and hash browns - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Commerce Township, Michigan

Still excellent food after the ownership change and the waitresses always do their best. However, the food takes WAY too long to come out and is frequently cold. Not sure what the cooks are doing back there. The signs they always have up state that they are EXTREMELY short-staffed. Understandable, but it you don't have enough waitresses and you don't have enough cooks, you don't keep the entire restaurant open. Close some of the tables. Doing this for so long will only lead to alienating all of your customers. Confine the number of tables to the volume of staff you can keep on hand. And other than the waitresses (who always dress nicely), have the floor staff dress accordingly for a restaurant of this stature. read more

We've eaten hear for years and always had a fantastic omelette for breakfast/lunch. The omlettes are more on the gourmet side than most are used to but that's the attraction, not your same old ham and cheese run of the mill stuff. I love the "Popeye" Special that's filled with spinach and Swiss cheese and covered in Bearnaise sauce. This is the best egg dish I have ever had! They have three size omelettes, crepe, two egg and three egg, lettuce is served on most but try it it's one of the things that makes this a standout along with the incredible airy/fluffy texture. I would love to hear of someone having a better omelette anywhere. read more

I created my own 3 egg omelette with egg whites, turkey sausage, spinach, onion, sun dried tomatoes, bell peppers, & cheese. The inside of the omelette had decent flavor, and the restaurant's hostess was very nice and accommodating, but I can't justify a higher rating due to the quality of the food. I was expecting an omelette the size of 3 eggs, so I was surprised to receive something the size of an entire to-go tray. I knew it was impossible that they used only 3 eggs...they must've added something to it to bulk it up. The "egg whites" were not completely cooked, which left the entire omelette soggy on the inside. The consistency of the eggs were horrible...there was so much air whipped into the eggs that it reminded me of eating a wet sponge cake. Not to mention that the lettuce garnish that was included was obviously not fresh, appearing wilted and brownish in color. It's sad to say, but the toast that came with the omelette was the best part of the entire meal! I can't see myself coming back to try anything else when a place with "Omelettes" in their title would serve something so yucky. Also, I thought their prices were a bit high and definitely not justified by the quality. read more

We received a flyer in the mail for Gest Omelettes and finally had the chance to come try them out. They're a diner style restaurant located in the same strip mall as Krogers. They offer 18 speciality omelettes but I decided to build my own (corned beef, white onion, and swiss cheese). My husband ordered the World War I which is the corned beef hash with 2 eggs. The hash is not your typical hash, it's scalloped potatoes which needed to be cooked a little longer. My omelette was OK... not your usual omelette either, it reminded me of a pancake with corned beef and melted cheese inside. Would I come back? Probably not.. sometimes different isn't the way to go. Plenty of parking up front, they're located in the same plaza as Krogers. read more

A year ago I would have given this place a full 5 stars. However, in the last year or so, the restaurant has changed hands and things have changed.The food is still good but not as soft and tender. They may be using 2 or 3 eggs but now they are not as light and fluffy. There is far less filling inside and they are more expensive. Due to inflation. I can understand lowering quantity or increasing price but BOTH? I have to drive quite a ways to get here. Not sure I will visit again. read more

That waitress just standing there had been ignoring our table for 10minutes. She looked toward the phone when it rang while the other waitress went to answer it. It was me calling to see if they were still open. That is how I got the server back to my table to take my order. I asked for the manager. She never came to my table. If you can get past the bad service the food is actually unique and very good. I remember going to the Redford location and people would wait in line to eat here. This review was finally interrupted by the manager that wanted to argue with me about the quality of the service here. So my review is this if you want good food just order it to go because the service sucks. Oh going back to my first sentence according to the manager she was only standing there for 8 minutes. She checked on her camera. read more

Honestly I enjoyed the food... please note this place is a little pricey but of course you pay for what you are getting. The portion are BIG and/or maybe i'm just greedy because i ordered 3 egg omelette; hey it's was 20 cent more for 1 egg, why not. This location seem to be very "low key" to me and with a chain restaurant down the plaza - it seems to be a hole in the way spot. Please note there's nothing fancy about this place but the wait staff is nice and the tables were clean. I highly suggest - getting larger plates if you're going to server large portion; this could've been 5 star review. read more

I had really high hopes for this place by the name of the restaurant alone. The waitress was super friendly and despite the morning rush, we were seated right away. You can customize your omelette or choose from the wide variety of custom omelettes that they already offer. I'm not sure how the omelettes are prepared, but despite its fluffy consistency, my omelette fell flat. I was expecting a traditional omelette, but that's not what I got. Don't get me wrong, it was hot, had all the ingredients I asked for, and the veggies were fresh. It also came with a big side dish for dipping into their yummy sauces. I just didn't like the way the omelette was prepared. I think I will give this place another shot and hopefully find something that I can fall in love with! read more

This has been our go breakfast place for at least 5 years bringing in our friends and out of town visitors too. Food always very good. Unfortunately today were very very disappointed that they seem to be letting their "covid" guard and their customers down! Both the owner Cindy who was in the kitchen preparing food, AND the COOK were leaning over our food cooking and HAD NO MASK ON!!!! Really? The most important people in that entire place who should avoid breathing over our food were doing just that. There was one other person back there who did have his mask on but the cook did not. Cindy!!!!! What the heck??? NOT GOING BACK FOR A WHILE read more

I just had breakfast here with a few friends. This is a cozy little place which is very welcoming. The atmosphere is busy with sounds of the normal hustle and bustle. I had an egg white omelet (2 eggs) with cheddar, mushroom, and avocado, and a side of hash browns. The omelet was HUGE and very fluffy. But it almost tasted too fluffy and airy. The hash browns were perfect! They were well done and just the perfect portion size. The coffee wasn't great, I've definitely had better, but it'll do. The portion sizes are pretty big. I mentioned I had a 2 egg omelet and didn't even finish it. My friend had a 3 egg white omelet and didn't even come close to finishing it either. The service was excellent! From the moment we walked in we were greeted with friendly "hellos". We were served by Debbie, who was extremely pleasant, and always refilling our coffee and waters. She was constantly checking up on the group to make sure everything was ok... thanks Debbie! A couple of things however: 1) the omelets come with lettuce unless you specifically ask them exclude it (I don't know why anyone would put lettuce in an omelet, but anyway, if you don't want lettuce be sure to tell your server). 2) it took a little long for the food to come out. This may have been because they were busy, or because the egg white omelets just take longer to make. The prices are pretty comparable to other breakfast places in the area. Expect to spend around $6 - $10 on breakfast, depending on what you order. read more

Okay- so I'm not one to write a bad review of a small business, but it's more of a warning than a bad review. The Omelettes have something else in them besides eggs and milk. I couldn't put my finger on it. She said it wasn't flour. The employee said they wouldn't tell her and the owner acted like it was a big secret. They sort of looked and smelled like pancakes (maybe buttermilk) I'm pretty careful with what I eat. I just ate the center. So if you get an omelette, be aware of this. Also, there was no soap in the women's bathroom (single stall). There was soap in the men's (I went in the other single stall to find some) and maybe the women employees just go in there. Someone could have just swiped it or finished it, but I looked and there wasn't an empty in the trash, nor was there soap in the cabinet. I didn't see that until after we ate or I probably would have left. I didn't say anything because the owner was sort of weird about the whole "what's in the omelette" think, so I wasn't comfortable. Service was good. So I don't want to trash the place, but just 2 things to be aware of. read more
