| - I was lured in by claims of having the "best omelets on the planet!"-- and they're actually pretty damn good. And at 4 large eggs each, they're also huge! I've rarely seen as much omelet variety on one menu as I do here, and it was hard to decide what to order.
My guy and I split the Racy Tracy omelet (mushrooms, bacon, and monterrey jack, topped with avocado, $15), which was stuffed with filling. The mushroom cream sauce complemented this well, and we upgraded our spuds to "Otis style" with cheese and grilled onions. The kitchen split our order and each portion was still enough that we didn't eat lunch!
Returned another day and shared a short stack of the Jack Johnson Banana Walnut Pancakes and the Bomb Shelter Bacon Benny- I'm not much of a pancake fan and these were decently fluffy but could have used more bananas and nuts, while the Benedict was delicious and packed with mushrooms and bacon. Again, so much food as to cover two meals, even sharing.
Location has kitschy road stop decor like their original location in Truckee, including Sharpie graffiti walls and a random bicycle hanging from the ceiling. Staff are super friendly and I like that the menu has substantial lunch dishes (burgers, salads, sandwiches), healthy (under 500 cal) and vegetarian-friendly options, unlike most places known for their breakfast dishes.
TIP: Sign up for their loyalty club online before you visit, and you'll get a $5 off coupon in the mail (which makes their prices considerably more reasonable), plus $10 on your birthday, and champagne on your anniversary! Check in on the Yelp app to get a free beverage or order of their chocolate bacon, too.
