I love a little diner. And I love a little diner breakfast. That's exactly what I consider this to be. From the moment you come in, your hit with an old-school coffee vibe, and I've always thought that the waiters and waitresses were extremely attentive I'm usually a very boring breakfast. Two eggs scrambled, bacon, crisp, potatoes, and wheat toast. Love the coffee here. All of the things are done and done well. If you get a chance, I think it's one of the hidden gems of Austin.
I had the regular breakfast with bacon and sourdough toast. I thought my meal was cooked really good. The home fries I thought were a little bland but I added a little salt and it was better. I always forget to order my toast dry because the restaurants down here really slap that butter and here was no exception. There was two tablespoons of butter. I scraped most of it off the toast. The rest of the meal was delicious though. The service is outstanding. They had plenty of servers. The wait was very short. Also they checked back on you a couple of times. I saw they even gace the kids a small basket of toys as well as crayons and paper to help occupy their time. Outstanding! The astetics was cool. They were numerous hand drawn pictures on the walls. There were tables, booths and even the breakfast bar. The bathroom was clean that I used. I'm sending my appreciation to "The Omelettry" for their service and decent meal. Thank you!
Tried This place after getting a haircut. Decor is funky and no nonsense. Ordered the Popeyes favorite, with jalapeños no onions. It was a good omelette, very tasty , straightforward. I had the home fries instead of the pancakes and they were absolutely incredible. Cooked perfectly! The staff there were fantastic, very friendly and Johnny on the spot with the coffee.
First time of eating at this restaurant. My wife ordered the #2 which was a 3 egg omelette with ham, cheese, onions, bell peppers and mushrooms with home fries, sourdough toast and a side of crispy bacon. She said the omelette was really good. The omelette was cooked just right and it was loaded with melted cheese, ham, onions, bell peppers and mushrooms. The home fries were seasoned perfectly and the sourdough toast was really, really good. The bacon was delicious. It was thick bacon and very crispy. I on the other hand didn't have the same opinion about the omelette that I ordered as my wife did with hers. I ordered the #7 which was a 3 egg omelette with queso cheese, jalapeños and a short stack of buttermilk pancakes. The eggs for the omelette were cooked good, there might have been 2 or 3 little pieces of jalapeño and the queso cheese didn't have any flavor. This was supposed to be a spicy omelette, I thought. It was very bland overall. The short stack of buttermilk pancakes were pretty good. The disappointment in my omelette is the only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 stars. The service here is very good, from the hostess to the server. When we got there, we had about a 10 minute wait...not bad. The hostess was very friendly and polite. Our server was very friendly, prompt and attentive. She made sure we had everything we needed. This place is pretty busy. If a table or booth was empty, it was because it needed cleaned off. It's a casual place, very relaxed vibe.
It's been years since we've been here and today was our first visit to the new location. The interior is colorful and decorated with fun and lively colors. We didn't have to wait long to be seated and service checked in with us quickly. I had the Eggconomical breakfast with a short stack of blueberry pancakes. The food was ready quick and was tasty.
As soon as I walked in, I was hit with a strong smell that wasn't exactly pleasant. It's not something that would make me walk out, but definitely noticeable enough to mention. The food itself was just okay. Nothing particularly bad. I loved the French toast. It was delicious! The fresh buttermilk poured over the top hits different. It added a rich, creaminess that balanced the sweetness beautifully. Definitely the highlight of the meal. The water had a strange smell -- almost like raw eggs which was off. I ended up not drinking water because I couldn't get past the scent. Overall, it was a mixed experience. The French toast and buttermilk were wonderful, but the smell inside the restaurant and the odd-tasting water brought the vibe down a bit. I might come back just for the french toast, but I'd definitely hope for a fresher ambiance next time.
My husband and I have talked about trying this neighborhood gem for years and finally decided to stop there for breakfast yesterday. There was a short line and we reviewed the menu while we waited. I ordered the house special omelette, which is like a Denver omelette with sides of home fries and sourdough toast. I added on a side of bacon cooked as crispy as they could make it. My husband ordered the queso omelette with a side of pancakes. My omelette was very good and stuffed full of diced ham, bell peppers, onions, and mushrooms. The home fries were well seasoned and crispy. The sourdough toast was cut in well-sized slices. My husband loved his pancakes, but found his omelette bland. The menu said it had jalapenos, but I only saw two small diced pieces. He took leftovers home and will spice it up more to his liking, so it will be fine. My only "complaints" would be that my husband was not told that his Sprite would be a can and not a fountain drink and that the bacon, while crisp, was very thin. The restaurant itself had a fun vibe with eclectic customers, including an older lady wearing a fun unicorn hat and a guy with the longest, nice-looking hair I had ever seen. Many of the staff knew customers by name, so you know it's a local favorite. Kids excitedly turned over coloring pages to be proudly hung on the wall. They even have a fun Green Eggs & Ham mural on the wall. We will definitely return to give lunch a try.
Came for breakfast on Saturday around 10:15 ish for two, only about a 5 min wait. Overall service was great, multiple servers checking in, refilling coffee, asking if we need anything else, no notes! Thank you all for your customer service. Food wise, I ordered the Spanish omelette and my mom got the Browning. If my thoughts the bacon was thin and too crispy (kind of just disintegrated when I when to bite it) but the French toast was delightful! My Spanish omelette needed more flavor in the actual base of the omelette. Without the salsa the omelette had very minimal impact and even the salsa I think could be enhanced if it was charred. My home fries were on the crispy side with at least 5 -8 pieces being burnt or overtly crispier than the rest. Yes, I could have asked for them to remake it but given others were waiting on tables and that I likely wouldn't have eaten a large amount of them even with a remake it didn't feel worth that effort. My co workers speak highly of this place so maybe that specific dish is just something I wouldn't get again on another visit.
For breakfast is was pretty standard. Food was tasty, our drinks stayed filled, the decor was really cute!!
Super friendly and thoughtful staff. Lots of free refills! All the food was excellent. Coffee very good. Very child friendly. Brought crayons and small toys to table.
I came with a big group and they were so accommodating and nice. Everything came out so quick which was surprising. The pancakes were so fluffy and flavorful. I would definitely come here again.
I came to The Omelettry for the first time with some friends for breakfast. It was a Saturday morning around 8:30 and it was pretty busy. There were a few people waiting to be seated when I arrived. Thankfully my friends had gotten there earlier than me and were sat pretty quickly. The restaurant has a good selection of items on their menu, specifically for breakfast. Given their name, of course I had to try an omelette! I decided to order a ham + cheese omelette with an add-on of mushrooms. On the side, instead of a stack of pancakes I decided to go with fruit (pineapple) and a couple slices of wheat toast. I'll start with the sides: The fruit in my picture was unfortunately not super fresh--there were pieces that were fairly dark, almost a shade of brown. The toast was crispy and the whipped butter was good, they have packets of jelly on the table for you to use. The omelette was exactly what was ordered--good chunks of ham, cheese melted and gooey and the mushrooms gave it some great additional flavor! It was good, not amazing, but good! Service-wise, the young woman who was taking our order and bringing our food checked in with us maybe once aside from when she took our order and brought our food. It's notable only because there were some things needing attention, specifically by my friends, and she was nowhere in sight. That was pretty disappointing. Overall we had an okay experience--it checks the boxes for a well-rounded breakfast if you're in the area. I'd come back if I was invited by my friends or something, but probably not on my own.
Popular restaurant even during lunch hours, but I went on Labor Day so maybe that's why there were a lot of people. Anyways, I got the Burnet Road Benedict, and it was very delicious! It's heavy and rich bc of the melted cheese, and it was salty, which is why I deducted a star. However, that didn't ruin the experience here and it still tasted delicious! Servers were nice, and even though the interior is a bit small, it was pretty and had funny egg drawings on the wall haha!

We randomly parked in the plaza trying to find a place to eat and ended up giving this spot a try. Walking in, two people greeted us and they were kind! The interior was cute and the booths were adorable. Multiple people served us. One for waters, one who was ready to take our order but we wanted her recommendations and more time, one who took our order, and one who served us the food and checked up on us! All were friendly, however, we felt uncomfortable after the server taking my part of the order stated that the benedict was a pretty hefty meal and adding a short stack of pancakes would be pretty heavy then asked, "are you sure you want to do that?" It was our first time there and we were told that the benedicts and panackes were popular, so I figured to order them and to-go what wouldn't we couldn't finish... Anyways, we ordered the chile con queso omelet, burnet road benedict, and a short stack of buttermilk pancakes. The food was decent. Both of the omelet and benedict included a lot of queso, it was a bit overwhelming. The panackes were good. Note: The prices on the menu are for cash payments, card payments have a 3% charge! This was a cool place to try out, but will probably not come back read more
The place was really cool on the inside. The food was pretty meh overall. I got the burnet road Benedict, the queso was good, but got it on the side. The potatoes were overdone & the spinach was not seasoned. The service was kind of strange with multiple servers but no one checked on us once the food was delivered. And its so weird to me that the check was brought at the same time as the food was delivered. I don't think I'll be back, but it was fine to try out read more

I drive by The Omelettry all the time and we decided to give it a shot for a quick breakfast before the ATX Open. Not the greatest idea bc as you can imagine, it's pretty busy on a weekend morning. Waitlist wasn't crazy long for a party of 2, but waitress was super nice and told us there are open seats at the bar so we immediately got sat. I got The Browning and severely underestimated the amount of French toast that came with it. It's huge! A full entre + the eggs and protein. I was able to take some home and have leftovers so that was cool. Quality wise, all your standard diner food quality. Pretty solid on quantities. Fast service for how busy it was. Kind of chaotic atmosphere with many families but that's how it goes. read more

I've wanted to try this place for years and finally decided to give it a try about a month ago. The service was great, we were seated almost immediately, our server was attentive and even brought over toys for the little one. The vibe was cool, it was pretty full but is also not a large space. We ordered our food which also came out quickly sadly the eggs and potatoes were overcooked, the potatoes so much so only about half were edible. The bacon is def the fully cooked bacon you just microwave and serve. I honestly expected more but it's been checked off my bucket list. I personally wouldn't return because there wasn't anything that particularly wowed me. read more
Big omelettes. Enjoyed the Popeyes omelette. Good service. It's a diner type ambiance. Always made me smile ever since I moved to Austin and went to the original location. They take credit cards now. I liked the whole wheat pancakes. And the potatoes are good too. read more
Simply good. I went during a week day for breakfast and it wasn't busy. The service is friendly and quick. The menu is huge. I ordered the eggs Benedict and was pleasantly surprised that the eggs were cooked perfectly. The ambiance is quirky with different patterns of table/booth artwork, as well as some Dr Suess on the ceiling. If you're in the area, it's worth trying for a good solid meal. read more

This place has great service and middle of the road diner food. The service was friendly, coffee refills came around often, everyone that worked there was helping take care of tables that needed something. The food was OK. Toast was served with enough butter for an entire loaf, maybe this is their gimmick, whatever. Home fries were underseasoned (if seasoned at all) and 1/3 were undercooked, 1/3 were cooked right, and 1/3 were burnt. Fortunately they buy Valentina hot sauce by the gallon to help mask the issues. The cheese sauce over the omelet was OK, but the cheese in the omelet itself was cold and still shredded, and had not even started to melt during the cooking process. I'd come back, but it wouldn't be high on my list. read more
Came here for breakfast with some coworkers and we were all so happy with our food. First of all, the portions here are great. The French toast was actually massive. I got the Popeyes favorite which was an omelet with spinach and cheese and other veggies with sour cream on top. I got the home fries as my side and both were great! I tried my coworkers French toast and pancakes and they were both so good. This is definitely a no frills kind of restaurant which I personally love. Service was fairly quick and the workers here were very nice. read more

Time and time again does The Omelettry deliver! I'm not sure why but I was craving a big bowl of wholesome oatmeal and this oatmeal was everything I needed. Perfect parts of buttery and sweet with hints of cinnamon. I ended up sitting at the bar because I was alone and the service was immediate. Shout out to Shiloh and Epiphany for their wonderful service and hospitality. I am always looking forward to my next visit :D read more
I got their house special omelette and I asked for the potato leek soup as the side. I think the omelette was okay. I asked to replace the bell peppers with spinach but they forgot about it. I wouldn't get it again. The soup and their horchata drink was good. read more

Been going here since it opened decades ago at the original location. Left Austin for 25 years and returned and IT'S STILL HERE. Everything here is simply amazing without exception. The Chili Con Queso omelet is so incredibly tasty especially with sausage and onions added. The home fries are addictive. The pancakes are delectable. I'm not a fan of gingerbread but I've been told they are second to none. The new place has the same vibe as before and the staff seem to be the same Mother Earth type of folk as before. So kind and attentive. Warning that there will be a wait. Bring your entire party to be seated. Get comfortable and be patient. It's worth it. read more
