| - Pretty good hidden little spot for breakfast in Summerlin. Really, it is kinda hidden. If I didn't see the bunch of people coming out of this little place on a Sunday morning I might have never thought to look in this corner of the strip mall! It's located in the Smith's shopping center off of Rampart and Lake Mead.
Seems like this Omelet House is owned by a family that is from Chicago, so the decor reflects as much. I have no problem with that, the home of Michael Jordan and the Chicago Hot Dog (one of my fav sinful snacks) are OK with me. It was super busy on a Sunday morning, good mix of locals and what seemed to be a bunch of church goers. Praise be! Hallelujah! I got the Spirit inside me! Sorry, sorry...too many Madea movies lately.
After a short wait we were seated by our nice hostess. I'm thinking she may be one of the owners, her native Chicago accent was present! A few short minutes later our waitress presented herself and brought us our drinks of water and coffee.
The menu at The Omelet House is almost typical with lots of other breakfast joints here in Vegas. Lots and lots of breakfast items, with a mix of burgers, sandwiches, salads, and soups. I know this place does dinner as well, but I didn't get to go through that menu so we'll just focus on breakfast and lunch. I really like how this Omelet House has a sprinkling of Chicago in their menu, they have some good looking stuff. Specialties like Chicago dogs, and Italian beef sandwiches can be had for your meal. There are a number of omelettes and breakfast specials to choose from, it can be overwhelming.
I stuck with what I like from these breakfast joints, a Club Sandwich. Yes, a Club Sandwich. In this case at The Omelet House, a California Club. Comes with turkey, avocado, lettuce, tomato, and mayo on white or wheat bread. Also a side of potato spuds (think chips), fries, soup or salad. I don't know what it is about a Club Sandwich that I like so much. Might be the nostalgia of when we used to go to restaurants as a kid my Mom would always order a Club Sandwich and share some with me. Might be that 3rd layer of bread that made a Club Sandwich seem so darn special.
Anyway, the Club Sandwich at The Omelet House was good. A nice sized portion, big looking sandwich. The bread was nice and toasted, the veggies were fresh, and the fries were tasty. Not the best Club Sandwich I've ever had because this one needed more mayo (lots please), and some bacon! This sandwich would have been off-the-cuff with some crispy bacon! It was just missing a punch of salt.
The wifey had a corned beef omelet with potato spuds. Large omelet! Very tasty too. The salty corned beef went great with the delicate eggs. Add some Tabasco and it was some good eats. But I have had better omelettes elsewhere. Breakfasts also come with your choice of toast, english muffin, pumpkin nut bread, banana nut bread, or tortillas. We got the banana nut bread and it was yummy. Not too dry, lots of bananas!
It's a tad pricy to eat at The Omelet House I'm guessing because it is Summerlin after all. Much of the menu ranges from the $7 - $10 area for entree type dishes. So if you're a cheapy look at the menu accordingly. Service is fast since you will probably be eating with a million other people. But they are nice for the most part. Probably be back here again for a meal, just wouldn't be my top choice.
