I recently had the chance to visit the Omelette Shoppe on a Saturday morning. I must say, it was quite an enjoyable experience.
Even though the restaurant was packed the staff welcomed me and my group with smiles. Yes we did have to wait for 30 minutes to get a table. It was definitely worth every minute. Once we were seated we wasted no time in placing our orders.
The highlight of the visit was undoubtedly the food itself. The omelettes were cooked perfectly. Filled with a variety of ingredients. Despite how busy they were the waitstaff managed to bring our breakfasts without any fuss. The flavors were absolutely delicious. The portions were more, than generous.
The only slight hiccup during our time there was waiting another 30 minutes for our meals. However considering how crowded it was and how people they had to serve it's understandable. It seemed like they could have used staff for such a weekend rush. Nevertheless it was clear that everyone was working hard and doing their best to cater to all customers.
I must mention that despite the wait time the quality of food and the friendly atmosphere inside made the overall experience truly delightful. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who enjoys a breakfast. To make the experience better the restaurant should think about having more staff working during times.
In summary the Omelette Shoppe offers breakfast choices. I'll definitely return, on a day when its not as crowded, to enjoy those...
Read moreLoved this place. I really wish I lived near this restaurant. The food was really good. I got the s’mores hot chocolate and the crab cake eggs Benedict. The hot chocolate had free refills but one was enough for me. It was so much chocolate and I especially loved the toasted marshmallows. As for the crab cake eggs Benedict, I kind of consider myself to be a connoisseur. I love eggs Benedict in general and getting a good one with crab cakes is hard to find. This one, I could smell the crab cake as soon as I cut into it. It smelled like fresh crab. The crab cake itself was soft enough to fall apart and really tasted like crab, which I liked. The spinach and tomato on it was also good. The hollandaise sauce didn’t seem that flavorful, but it didn’t take away from the meal either. It was right in the range of decent to “good enough”. However, they do put a lot on, so you may want to ask for it on the side. One of the people I was with got the cheesecake pancakes which he said were really good. For him, it was a choice between that and the pineapple upside down pancakes. I don’t think he was disappointed. The other person I was with didn’t tell me what he ordered but he said it was his favorite breakfast in a long time. The menu here is fantastic. There were about twenty things I wanted to try. I will definitely be hitting the place up again when I go back to...
Read moreDo NOT, I repeat DO NOT order take out from them unless you want to waste your time and get your order wrong (if they can find it) with no apologies. Who wants to bet they read this and finally apologize?
We have gone to the Cass street location numerous times and loved the food and service so we decided to try take out for lunch during this pandemic. I went to their website and the only locations available was Grand Rapids and the front street TC location so we picked that one, put our order in and got a confirmation email and text that the restaurant had received the order and was working on it. However, when I got there they didn't have the order and didn't even know about it. (Apparently they're using Doordash connected to their website.) Instead of talking to me about options or apologizing even, they said they'd be back out with it (no explanation about if that they were in fact making it then or if they did find the order) in 5 mins, 15 mins later it comes out (on top of 10 mins of figuring where it was) sooo 30 mins after our food was supposed to be done it's done. They bring it out, no apologies, nothing. Then we get it and drive to a nearby park and realize they forgot a key ingredient and so we had to drive back to get it. Again no apologies. No, trying to make this right. Save yourself time and frustration and don't get take...
