| - My fiance and I have always had a weekend tradition of going out to different breakfast joints every Saturday morning. We can say with certainty we have tried at least 90% of all of the breakfast places in the Las Vegas-Henderson metro area, and we have no reason to return to any of them after we decided to stick with the Omelet House.
Unlike the most other breakfast spots like The Cracked Egg or The Egg and I, where on a weekend you will almost certainly have a 25-35 minute wait for a seat (generally the wait is outside), I have personally never waited for longer than 8 minutes to get a seat here, even when the line goes out the door. We are seated in a variety of interesting rooms with lots of neat old decor (think grandma's house), and drink orders are taken immediately, no waiting for a server! They serve topnotch Farmer Brothers coffee, which is a major plus for me since I'm a big coffee drinker. The menus are simple and descriptive, and offer all the usual breakfast fare, with a major emphasis on the omelettes. We have a few favorite servers there, and we usually get Devynn (hope I'm right on the spelling) who is nothing short of fantastic and kind. Orders are taken quickly, and I have never waited more than 10 minutes for my order to arrive (I time it every weekend, just to see if maybe I'm wrong, thankfully I'm not!)
It's impossible to describe the food without it sounding like hyperbole, but I can genuinely and honestly say this is the best breakfast I have ever had. I've seen a lot of restaurants boast about their portions, and the value of those portions, but Omelet House cannot be beat in that regard. The omelettes are simply huge, and packed to the gills with whatever ingredients you like (and trust me, whatever you want, they have). I can't recall ever finishing an omelette in one sitting, come to think of it. I usually get a #9 bacon and cheddar omelette, plus I add chorizo. I couldn't tell you if it's a four-egg omelette, because it looks like they used a half-dozen eggs to make it. They also serve excellent seasoned fried potatoes with every omelette, sort of like really thick potato chips fried and seasoned with a salty garlicky mixture. Generally the potatoes are heaped on the plate to the edges, even on top of part of your omelette (which gives you a few potatoes with cheese on them!). They serve steaming breads with their entrees, currently the choice is between pumpkin or banana bread, either of which are fantastic. The portions are large enough that I usually take half of the omelette home with some potatoes and reheat it in the late afternoon for lunch or dinner.
As another important point, the value of what you get for your dollar is incredible. We pay $29 plus tip for this gigantic meal, which is basically two meals for each of us since we have a ton of leftovers (not quite Hash House A-Go-Go huge, but pretty close, and much cheaper!). The crowd is also much more mellow and friendly here, with lots of Rotary Club, motorcycle club, Elks Lodge, etc. folks coming here to enjoy some socializing. If you are worried about obnoxious kids and loud diners, you won't find them here. Just considerate older adults for the most part, which is why we love to come here (we're probably their youngest customers, we're both 28!) I also get the sense that the emplyees are well-treated, and some have been there for a very long time, which speaks for itself. I know that cooking, serving food, cleaning floors, and dealing with entitled customers can be very hard, but I've never seen it on anyone who works here. Everyone is very respectful and kind, and the manager is very direct and firm, but also respects the people who work here, and I can appreciate the good business sense.
In all, this is the best place to enjoy a good breakfast and chat with your friends and loved ones, and it's a great place to start a weekend breakfast tradition. If you do, we'll see you there every weekend, because they can consider us customers for life.
