Omelette Headquarters - Cafes Near Me - Wakefield, Massachusetts

I used to go here for 12 years with my father. It was amazing, delicious, they knew us by name. Delicious cheap food. Then they sold it to people who know nothing about the heart and soul of this place. They are so rude constantly. They yelled at us for kindly asking them to open a window and told us we could no longer bring our water bottle in. We have paid thousands of dollars to this place. Its run by a mother and two twin girls. They all have the worst attitude. We walked out that day and won't be coming back. Not to mention the food is just as bad as their tempers now. read more

This place is great! Great food, great staff, fast service, great for families. Having the pancakes come out with "Mickey Mouse" ears was a bonus and made our kids happy. Thank you!!!!! read more

This place is pretty much everything you could want in a casual weekend breakfast place. We just moved to Wakefield and brought our four-year-old here; I ordered the eggs Florentine, my husband had French toast, and we got our daughter a pancake with eggs and bacon off the kids' menu. I sometimes hesitate to order eggs Florentine in restaurants because I've had some horrid ones where it almost seems like they used canned spinach, but this was delicious. My husband also loved his French toast, and my daughter's meal (which we ordered off the kids' menu, but the portion was huge) was great as well. Our waitress, who I believe was named Laurie, was super-friendly and the whole experience was great. We'll definitely be coming back on a regular basis! read more

My boyfriend and I come here every Monday morning when we can. I've never left there unhappy or half-full. Our waitress is fucking ace, the cooks are quick, the food is DELICIOUS. You walk right in and can seat yourself. Someone is always over within seconds of your arrival to take drink orders, and if you know what you want right away you get it lickity split. Parking can be a bitch, but who cares. I'll park on someone else's car if I have to. In fact, I think some have hahhaaha. Lunch is great too, they have a killer tasty Greek salad. Oh yes. read more

GOOD QUALITY, QUANTITY, SERVICE, AND VALUE I've eaten at a few breakfast spots lately, and haven't found a good one until now. 1. FOOD QUALITY - 4 STARS - My three large Scrambles Eggs were cooked correctly. They were moist and ample. There's no up-charge for switching from plain toast to English Muffin, grilled. Prices for egg dishes are low, and include coffee as well as an unusually large amount of Home Fries. 2. CORNED BEEF HASH OMELETTE - 4 STARS - My guest's omelette was HUGE, tasty, and fluffy. The eggs were moist, and the Hash tasted good even though it came from a can. These days, it's nearly impossible to find Hash that's both home-made and good, so this was the next best thing. 3. HOME FRIES - 4 STARS - The potatoes were also cooked correctly. They were cooked until soft, they weren't inundated with Paprika, and they had a slight welcome crispiness to them. They tasted quite good! 4. BLUEBERRY MUFFIN - 4 STARS - Average quality, but moist and tasty. 5. AMBIANCE - 3.5 STARS - Outside of building was newly painted, and it looks good. The inside walls were relatively clean, although the carpeted floor is very dirty and needs to be switched for a new tile floor that can be cleaned weekly to maintain freshness. 6. WAIT STAFF - 4 STARS - The two waitresses worked well in tandem. They took our order quickly, brought the food while still hot, refilled our coffee mugs attentively, and circulated often to make sure that all patrons got whatever incidentals they needed. 7. PRICES - 4 STARS - Eggs cost only $4 to $5, which is reasonably low. All other items such as juice, muffins, etc., are also priced right. 8. VALUE - 4 STARS - Considering quality, quantity, service, and price, this is definitely a good deal. 9. SUMMARY - My guest has been in the food business for many years, and he knows how to cook the right way. He introduced me to this place, and I'm definitely coming back for more. read more

I have heard great things about this place, but had a terrible experience last weekend when I went there. The waitress waited on three tables that came in after us. When we said something she said she would put our food in first, but everyone was served before us. The mid thirty-ish woman that was walking around filling drink orders and busing tables was absolutely miserable and rude. She poured coffee in my fathers tea without even asking if he wanted a refill and then had an attitude about it. She didn't even say sorry or act like it was a mistake. It seemed like everything we asked was an inconvenience. As far as the food, it was just okay. Definitely not worth the aggravation and frustration. I will not be going back anytime soon. Probably not ever! read more

When my friend suggested this place for breakfast this weekend, he described it as "being in the first floor of someone's house." Yes, the decor does not to much to enhance the place - picture loads of wooden tables crammed into your grandmother's outdated kitchen. BUT the food was delicious and the service was fast, especially with the busy weekend crowd. If you're looking for standard, greasy spoon breakfast food, I would definitely recommend The Omelette Headquarters. They do the basics - eggs, bacon, homefries, etc. very well. Though be advised - my dining companions were a bit disappointed that on Sundays the menu does not include the advertised lunch options. read more

For a place called the "Omlette Headquarters" I expected so much more. Thoroughly disappointed. I gave it 2 stars because the potatoes were well seasoned and the toast was perfectly prepared. But it's toast, who can mess that up?!?! I woke up craving a vegetable omelette like my favorite diner back in East Boston, Donna's...sigh...every since I left and moved to Woburn I've been trying to find some place, just one restaurant, diner, something that can compare. The Omelette Headquarters...Hello, they must be great! So I thought. Frozen chopped spinach, no way that was fresh. Tomatoes diced beyond recognition. Big hunk of nothing of a breakfast. I should of taking my $9 and cooked it myself at home. Waitress, rude, expressionless, mad because she had to go to work, sure didn't enhance my experience. First and last time going there. Any one that thinks thats a good breakfast has been culinarly deprived. This joint should be made to change thier name to the Toast Headquarters, the one thing they did well. read more

People I surround myself with know that if I take them to Omelette Headquarters then our relationship is solidified in my life. Like a holy conversion, you don't want to break griddled english muffins and runny eggs with just anyone. Bottomless coffee that is constantly being topped off, quick, friendly service, and eggs that you can basically get whatever way you want. Without fail, I go Country Omelette with egg whites and feta and dark rye toast. I went in this past weekend and ordered the same dish - hadn't been there in a few months - and when the waitress brought it over she immediately recognized me and asked how I was doing and that she "should've known this was your order!". Super sweet wait staff, fast order turnover, and you can seat yourself. They also don't care how long you're sitting there - I had a three-hour catchup breakfast with a friend and they didn't bother us once. The lines can get pretty hefty on the weekends - try to avoid the post-Mass crowds and either get there before church gets out or an hour-ish after it does. 5 stars, because it's like your grandma's serving you a delicious breakfast for cheap. read more

Fantastic breakfast!! Great service and delicious food! Highly recommend this wonderful place!

I visited the restaurant a few time shortly after its opening and really liked it. Now several years later, the quality has really gone down. The floors are filthy, the food is under seasoned, and service is chaotic. The server dropped my wife's order of Eggs Benedict. Then replaced it with cold eggs. My omelet was the worst I have had in years. The texture was terrible and had no flavor. read more

Stuff your belly good breakfast! Almost always a short wait, a sign of a good breakfast joint. Try their Ultimate Breakfast with a side of hash and then schedule an hour or two long nap on your couch! read more

This place is a staple in Wakefield! I love it here!!! The food is always good and it's fairly priced. Would definitely recommend!

We go here about once every weekend. Service is always the same. Food is consistent. Surprisingly, there is never much of a wait. They move tables pretty fast. I like their salmon benedict. Their home fries are also well done. Meals are fast and service is friendly. Always the same staff which is nice. read more

If you like eggs and omelettes, this is the place for you. It's tiny so get there early. As far as I know, there is no call ahead. If you're not an omelette fan, try their french toast. Delicious. Their pancakes are quite large. Actually, all the portions are quite large. We always have leftovers to take home. read more

Rubbery omelette's, that is all I can say! I was spoiled after eatting a *melt in your mouth omelette* at Ryers store in N. Reading. One more note, Omelette Headquarters sign has been bent and never fixed. That is a clue they don't care about the restaurant. read more

I just ordered the international omelette . Salsa toasted bread . Hash everything seasoing perfectly ..yum ! read more

OMG, if price and quality are what you crave, then look no further! A wide selection of omlettes to satisfy every taste, breakfast to fill you up, and prices that will have you smiling. I had the ultimate omlette and substituted the sausage for grilled chicken, and it is just about the best omlette that I have had...EVER! read more

My 4 girlfriends and I were looking for a breakfast spot, and came across this quaint made over train station. We could tell by the crowded parking lot that we were in for a treat! We walked in and it only took a couple of minutes to set up a perfect table for us. The waitstaff was super friendly and attentive. 3 of us ordered omelets; which came with hash browns & toast. 2 of my friends ordered the thick French toast per suggestion from the waitress. Coffee and Juice were also ordered. The omelette was to die for; every bite had each delicious ingredient in it (I had mushrooms, onions, and cheddar cheese). To boot the bill totaled $33 for the 5 of us! I wish I lived closer, I would definitely go back! read more

Great service..friendly waitstaff. Always a good breakfast. Never disappointed. Love the French Toast and Home Fries.

Good food nice fluffy omelettes generous size portions. The muffins were were nice and fresh and full of fresh blueberries. The service was were okay got the food really quickly but, the server never came back to check in with us for refills or ask us how things were doing. I do wish the restaurant would go back to the old hours and close at 2. Overall great experience would come back in an instant. read more

Great little restaurant. The prices are extremely reasonable and both of our omelettes were delicious and huge. Service was awesome. Will definitely be back!!! read more

My favorite place for breakfast!! Charming location, great staff, and delicious food! read more

Nice breakfast and lunch place. Huge omelettes, good hot coffee, very attentive service. Was nice to see the owner working the room, both helping with service and socializing with the customers. An easy location with plenty of parking. Worth a visit. read more

The Omelette HQ always offers prompt and friendly service. I use them several times every week for breakfast. Lately I've only been able to get takeout due to government restrictions, but now they are opening up for seating again. The place has been under new management for the past several years, and they are trying hard to make the restaurant as good as possible. I especially like the soup, the eggs, and the sandwiches. How could I survive without the friendly omelette HQ? Please support them as they reopen and try to get back to their normal table service. Thank you, Omelette HQ, for all you've done to improve my life! read more

A great family place for breakfast. Reasonable prices and friendly new management.

I have gone to many breakfast restaurants in the United States and omelette headquarters is by far the best in my opinion, Quick service and great food cooked to perfection! Me and my wife have been to this place more than 50 times we have never had a bad breakfast. read more

How did I end up here in Wakefield? I have no idea. Someone suggested IHOP and I said I would rather dump Maple Syrup down my pants and go sit on a red ant hill in the 100 degree heat while someone screams"rooty tooty fresh and fruity" in my ear over and over again. So in short order I was on line behind blue hair and big butts waiting for my seat in the ex-train depot breakfast spot. Whenever someone opened the door too long someone would yell , "close the door!" so the AC wouldn't leak out. Once I was finally inside I got to yell at the other shlubs to close the door too. Why I enjoy stuff like that is something to ponder another day because the wait wasn't long and I was ready for my first coffee of the day. It was DDC (delicious diner coffee) You can't get coffee this good anywhere except at a great diner. I had the ULTIMATE OMELETTE (make trumpet noises) It was filled with bacon, sausage, ham, peppers, onions and feta cheese. I'm on a diet so I had them hold the salami. waitresses running around like madwomen giving great service. Everything was delicious, cheap and filling. I shudder to think what's going to happen when it reaches the other end of me. I made sure to get the Sunday paper for that. (too much info right?) On the way out I made sure to close the door. I'll be back. yum. read more

I kept referring to this place as the Omelette Shack because it's on the small side, but after having such a great omelette I realized it was worthy of the name. The long list of options should cover just about all the ingredients you really want with your eggs, like the ham, cheese, peppers and salsa I had folded into mine. The Yelper who introduced me to the place didn't even order an omelette, which I understood only after I tried a piece of her raisin bread french toast... Now I'm craving a return visit. Keep in mind that they're only open for breakfast and lunch. read more

I don't know what it is with Wakefield, but it appears to me that most of its dining establishments are content on delivering food that is on par with what you'll get in a hospital. The same can be said of Omelette Headquarters. It's a small restaurant where the food tastes like it came from the kitchen of a retirement home. The omelette have a hard-to-describe nauseating taste, as if it was left out in the sun to rot for several hours then sprinkled with bleach. There was also this white-yellowish goo that oozed out from the omelette, I want to say cheese but it tasted like bad tofu. The potatoes tasted so bad, I'd take fast food fries over that stuff any day. In conclusion, if you want breakfast that taste like armpit, look no further. read more

Great greasy spoon. Good food, good prices and saucy cool waitress....

The food looked great and the server was really nice. I ordered an omelette and my girlfriend at the time ordered eggs benedict. Unfortunately we both found hair in our food. This really puts a damper on the meal. I could not go back! read more

Yum. The HQ is my favorite breakfast place in the area. Great prices and great food, too. The building used to be a railroad station.

The lady and I had the opportunity to finally try out this little breakfast joint. It's a "seat yourself when there's an open table" type of place, so timing is important. We dropped by a little bit after noon, so we were second in line. Being a small place, the line usually extends out the door. I ordered the steak and eggs, with a side of bacon and my lady ordered the eggs benedict florentine. The portions were big and the food was delicious. My steak came out just way I wanted it. The home fries were seasoned just right and the scrambled eggs were scrambled. Delicious and inexpensive! As for the waitstaff, they were great. Aside from our waitress, we had two others who came by to check up on how we were doing and refilled our coffees. Like everywhere else out there, restaurants can be a hit or miss. Overall, my first experience here warranted 5 stars from me. Update: 12/21/2011 I had to subract 1 Star just because I felt that the quality of the steak of my steak and eggs has seemed to diminished on the last couple of visits here. read more

Outstanding tasty comfort food. All these reviews can NOT be wrong! We love that it's in an old train station too. Decor is... well, let's just say it isn't old train as someone mentioned... but you go for the food, right? and badda-bing... the friendly service is better than your grandmothers kitchen. BEST home fries and coffee, period! Where can you get FRESH DECAF?? Right here my friend, and that's the truth. Do NOT let the line out the door sway your resolve. Hang in there! It moves fast enough that NO WAY could you turn away and get anywhere faster. Plus, you'd miss all the good stuff at the OHQ. Sit, Eat, Enjoy. read more

Never been here before but first impressions mean a lot. Walked through the door at 9:45 behind two other individuals. Those two individual sat down nothing was said to them. When we went to sit down right after them the waitress put her hand on her hip very rudely and said "guys we close at 10:00 your food won't be ready by 10 you're not getting served" This waitress is an older lady had a tank top on with tattoos all over her didn't look like she wanted to be there so miserable and rude. I guess I will not be trying that place! read more

CHEAP and plentiful greasy breakfast food. An expansive menu with, of course, many permutations of omelettes, although be warned that several of their egg combos involve nacho cheese (shudder). The Ultimate Breakfast is $6 and for that you get two pieces of french toast (or pancakes), two eggs however you like, 3 pieces of bacon, three delicious sausages, and two pieces of toast or an english muffin. Sheesh! Sides like home fries (ours were undercooked) and ham, etc, are about a buck fifty per. The space is extremely tiny, there is nowhere to wait so it backs up into a sort of mosh pit, and the decor is god-awful. Prompt and attentive waitresses, fast service. Delicious french toast (especially the raisin bread variety). read more

The food is always fresh and fast at this seat yourself establishment... the wait staff is a different story. If you want/need anything out of their normal routine prepare to wait. I was there the other day and watched this poor man wait 20 mins to get a refill of his decaf; Not ok. I'm always on the hunt for eggs benny/florentine made with FRESH spinach. Unfortunately they use frozen.. hence the 3 star review. Good place for hangover breakfast though. read more
