"Originally in Rosedale, the breakfast diner was started by an ambitious hippie from California and spawned both Magnolia Café and Kerbey Lane Café. Open since 1978, the Omelettry moved to North Loop, but the same delicious dishes make up the menu. Takeout orders can be placed online, but eating inside this modern-day diner is a treat. Besides, who wants pancakes to go? It is well known for its omelets, but the potato leek soup is a surprise hit worth trying." - Melanie Haupt
