The Omelettry

"For over 40 years, the classic North Loop diner has been a great family-friendly option for a giant, cheap breakfast. The walls are covered with kids’ drawings, and the drip coffee is hot. There are create-your-own omelets, pancakes as big as your head, and other classic breakfast dishes like eggs Benedict. There’s a counter for solo diners, booths for families, and to-go ordering." - Erin Russell

"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

"The move to Airport Boulevard didn’t mess with the breakfast retreat’s offerings. Ask for one of the omelets obviously, most of which run under $12. Well-stuffed $10-and-under sandwiches, which come with soup or home fries, are a great bet too. Takeout orders can be placed online; the restaurant is open for indoor dine-in services." - Erin Russell, Nadia Chaudhury

"For daytime plans, look no further than the classic Austin diner. Takeout orders can be placed online or over the phone; there are indoor dine-in services." - Nadia Chaudhury
