Western Omelette (Original Est. 1992)

In Colorado Springs to help my sick Dad. One of the Doctors recommended we try this Mom and Pop. We have now been here twice in 3 days! Most of the menu have huge portions and was great ti basically have lunch and dinner from one meal. Haha! First time was breakfast! I am not a huge pancake person, but these pancakes were the best I have ever had. Added blueberries and they were soooooo goood! You could smell the vanilla from them. Bacon was amazing and crispy. The omelet i had was fantastic and I added some of there famous green chile with some sour cream... perfection!! I'm here another week and likely come back for breakfast the day I leave.

Gotta say everything was excellent! Started off with their tasty Tropical Giggle Juice which lived up to its name! I then ordered the build your own omelette with tomato, onion, sausage and American cheese as well as a side of their yummy mild chili. When in the area make sure you stop by!

Very short tempered server. Expensive, which is one thing but to have rude service is another. Also, be careful if you have a larger party. 20% tip is automatically added to your receipt with parties over 6 people. Server did not mention it so we almost over tipped for sub par service.

All I have to say is eat here. Went in for the first time and the food was great! Tons of different stuff to try and huge portion. I would imagine that this place gets packed we went in pretty early and it was somewhat busy. We just wanted some basic breakfast meals the first time trying the place but we saw some of the plates that were brought out to the other customers and everything looked so good. We will definitely be heading back to this spot for sure!! Loved it here!

Western Omelette is the kind of breakfast spot that makes you want to unbutton your jeans before you eat. The food? Amazing. But let’s talk about that chili—they let you sample all of them, which is both generous and a little dangerous. Holy HOT! 🔥 (In the best way.) Whether you’re into green, red, or “are my eyebrows still attached?” levels of spice, they’ve got you covered. Friendly staff, hearty portions, and chili that’ll wake you up better than coffee. 10/10 would sweat again.

Marvelous experience dining in here. Visiting from out of town for my birthday. Grateful to stumble upon this gem. Alexa was my server and I couldn’t ask for a better one, big smile, great recommendations. Food was definitely worth the price, thank you!

The best place to go!! They serve the best bacon that I have ever had!! Our food is always perfect and delicious 😋

It’s been a long time since I have been here. The service was good the food was delicious. We sat outside on the patio it was a nice breakfast.

The Food was great with lots of flavor, they're definitely on point with the chimichanga. Service was excellent very nice people and the ambiance was cozy and felt like home. Definitely recommend this place for anyone that wants home food.

Oh no my Fav breakfast is in trouble Staffing problems at Western Omelette in Colorado Springs seem rooted in poor management, lack of employee respect, limited advancement/raises, high stress, and a potentially unstable work environment due to ownership/property issues, with some employee reviews highlighting a stressful culture, surveillance, and difficulties with recognition, all while facing challenges like past health inspection issues (roaches, sanitation) and needing capital to buy their building, creating an uncertain future.

Great food and friendly service! This is a family diner with regular staff and regular customers. The menu is quite extensive for breakfast and for lunch and alcoholic drinks are served as well. The artwork is eclectic and reminiscent of old route 66 diners. You always feel welcome and the food is reliably good

I have been searching for a good green chili. Found it. This place has a lot of local love, it was hopping. That's why I have wanted to try it. A big hot air balloon event, Labor Day weekend when I say hopping I mean it. The staff was slaying it and handling it all with grace. The staff was amazing. Very attentive and acknowledged the situation of the mass amounts of people that love this place. So be patient, totally worth it! I can't wait to get back here.

Been here twice so far and it was amazing both times. Steak cooked perfect, drinks are outstanding and the kids loved their meals. Only thing I would complain about it the bacon was a tad bit too salty for everyone. Otherwise, we loved their place!

What a fantastic experience. We were detoured from our planned activity due to needing a tire repair, but then found this lovely restaurant. We had the best breakfast and conversation with the owner. If you are in Colorado Springs, I highly recommend!! Thank you!!

Good service. Wayyy too expensive for a diner. $5 coffee, 4.68 for a sweet tea. A classic breakfast with eggs bacon and toast is $17! And only up from there. Tastes like any other diner

First timer here, loved all the art and pictures of history!! The restaurant was very clean and unique. The menu was pretty long, also the prices were a little high for simple food. But it was good. Four dollars plus for a drink is a little too pricy I say... But I do have to say the service was very delightful. All in all it was a good experience.

I had the best pancake ever from here! I was visiting from out of town and ordered a omelette that came with a pancake and hash browns!! It was all delicious. Loved our server as well and everyone else in there. On our way out there was one lady who was kinda angry and that was our last impression of the place and it still wasn't enough to keep from wanting to go back for another pancake

One of the best breakfasts I've had while in Colorado. Go online and read the story of why the owner opened the place in 1992. The place has incredible vibe and is so welcoming. Our server Jasmine was super friendly and attentive. The food - so so yummy! Watch out for the green chili - it packs a punch in a very very good way! We spoke with the owner on our way out and told him how awesome it was! Highly recommended!

6/17/25 Loved our Server Alma, food was delicious as always! Been coming here for years and we'll keep coming back!

Closed an hour early today due to the heat in the kitchen, hello upgrade your ventilation system. Its June in Colorado. Very poor judgment call. Bad for business. We drove over 30 mins to go here.

great green chile and breakfast is amazing. Just need to open before 7 am... for us early birds.

I've enjoyed this restaurant for several years now and will continue to keep going back. The food was great and the service was good too, and I would also like to mention for hand to get people this place is really easy to get into.

We were regular customers throughout the 90's to mid 2000's. At that time the food was excellent and so was the service. When we were regulars it was packed on Saturdays and Sundays within 30 minutes of being open. Went back today for the first time in years and was very disappointed to see how much this restaurant has declined. And we arrived 1 1/2 hrs after they were open and there were less than a dozen customers in the restaurant. The food is ok but not worth what we paid for it. Their TV scroll says ask for a sample of chile before you order because it is hotter than most people expect. We asked for a sample and barely got a teaspoonful and definitely were not informed of any charges for the sample. I received my bill and gave my card to the server and when she came back the bill was $5 more than the one she had given me. I asked for an explanation and was told it was the sample of green chile I had asked for. No mention from the waitress when I asked for it that I would be charged especially not $5 for less than a teaspoon! What a disappointment.

I've tried many breakfast places in the springs and this place has the best green chili. Portions are big and staff is friendly. One of my favorite spots. Very busy on a Sunday morning but we were seated right away still.

Omelettes are okay their waffle is your typical Waffle House type of gross waffle and there were flies everywhere. There are better breakfast places in town, however the staff was great!

It's OK. Decent breakfast but nothing special. Good service. My husband had corned beef hash & I had sweet potato hash with 2 eggs. No gluten free bread so I didn't get toast.

If you're looking for a good breakfast experience, try the Western Omelette Restaurant. The Mexican breakfasts and pancakes are on point. It's a nice atmosphere, with multiple drink options. Not a fan of the cupcake Prosecco, and the service could have been a little better since we sat for 20min before our order was taken, the tables needed to be cleaned, and the pancake came out late since it was entered into the kitchen separate from the rest of the food. But other than those service related issues, I highly recommend.

On my first visit to Western Omelette server Alma greeted me and we had a friendly visit before I began studying the extensive menu. Alma returned with my water and asked if I needed more time which I did and she went about helping her other tables. She returned a few minutes later to see if I had decided on a meal. I ordered the Yummy Breakfast. As it was mid morning and not very busy my meal was ready quickly. The Yummy Breakfast is a massive platter of french toast, eggs, bacon, and hash browns. At first I thought I had ordered too much food but took my time and ate nearly all of it. I have another favorite downtown Colorado Springs breakfast place I frequent but I will be going back to the Western Omelette in the future as it is very good and a nice vibe.

Best Breakfast in Colorado Springs! Great coffee, omelettes and pancakes! Always pleasant service.

Good breakfast food. The breakfast enchiladas are so good with green chili! The pancakes were HUGE! One single one will get the job done. Good service!

Food was delicious and the staff was incredibly sweet. Restaurant was super cool and had lots to look at! It took a sec for us to be checked out but honestly I could care less it was just so good! We had breakfast enchiladas I had the southwestern green chili which was just enough spice and then my boyfriend had the highest spice level chili. For me it was way too much but he loved its great flavor and great staff we will be back!!

Happy New Years! What a great place to start off 2023 .. 2 of my buddies and I met our good friend Biscuit. Yes, his name is biscuit. No, he does not have that name because we all went to a breakfast spot and had biscuits. Well his actual name isn't Biscuit but that's what we call him! Food was awesome. I had Huevos Rancheros and everything about it was amazing except for one thing. Whenever I order it I never feel confident saying it because I feel like I say it funny. That is probably something I need to work through but it is the TRUTH.

Hubby and I have heard about this place numerous times about the green chili and had to try it out. We were not disappointed. Very clean and friendly staff. We definitely had to take left overs home, which were just as good. I know my green chili and they passed with flying colors. They have several to choose from (mild to vegan to OMG HOT), I chose the southern style.

I will drive on the other side of town just to come here. I come here because I think the green chili is so freaking amazingly good. Buut I always request the medium heat, you're able to enjoy the flavor and ur food, and at the same time you get enough to almost break a sweat. I tried the Very hot green chili, and those are only for the hardcore brave ones. Let me tell you, my mouth was burning for 30min. I can't tolerate that type of heat but be my guest if that's how you roll. The servers are always so kind and I absolutely love the host, he's always so welcoming. Food is always mouthwatering, huge portions and the waffle is always made to perfection. Also! The Micheladas are so good. The restaurant is always busy but never have to wait for a table and we always come on a Sunday. One of my favorite places for breakfast.

Was here on December 24th and the service was horrible. We will in fact not be coming back ever again.

This place is an institution in Colorado Springs, I can't even describe what they mean to me and have throughout my life. The food is amazing and tastes like home, some dining rooms should NEVER change and the omelette's hasn't in years. You want green chili that's gonna light you on fire? Yea, theirs will. The breakfast burrito is my go to, however the huevos rancheros and the Harley are also favorites. You won't be disappointed in anything you order; servers are rad and always nice and plenty of parking. They do get VERY busy, especially on the weekends but it's totally worth the wait!

Food/Drink: 4/5. Multiple items were delicious including the breakfast tacos, pancakes, and the pico was clearly VERY fresh Atmosphere: 4/5. Cool Native American Art. A little cramped though. Service/Prices: 3/5. Service was extremely slow(waiting over an hour for our main course) and at times inaccurate. Our server Grace was amazing(I think she was in training) but the rest of the team was frankly a bit impersonal. Pricing was reasonable. Overall would return to try some of the other food items.

Great food! Genuinely friendly, attentive, and accurate service. Never felt rushed. Had not eaten there since Covid and we were so happy they did not close as they had announced!

Very busy. Great friendly service. Server was fast , quick and had a great memory. Quick coffee refills. Bacon was very good. Kids plates are great. Eggs were cooked well. Hash Browns nice and crispy. Sausage patties were a little over cooked. Biscuits were dry. Pancakes flour tasting. Plates were huge and a little challenging to move around on small table. We will try again.

While visiting CO, we were told to try Western Omelette and it did NOT disappoint! The green chili is incredible!! Our waitress was precious and the service by everyone couldn't have been better. I wish we had a Western Omelette in KY!

Good food and exceptional service! We had the breakfast tacos, chimichanga and an omelette with a pancake. The food was good and our server was awesome. We got there right as they opened on a Friday morning and had our food within a few minutes of ordering.

Used to be great service and great food. The service (or maybe just a bad server?) was sub par. She took a long time to seat us and take our order. The food that used to be delicious is now acceptable and nothing exciting.

I love the food and the service, but I dock two stars for any place that doesn't offer gluten-free options for their toast/pancake side and want to charge for any other side substitution like fruit. For the love of Pete, it's 2022. Have some gluten-free bread ... Outside the Breadbox (an amazing GF bakery) is a mile away. ‍

Long wait almost 1hr 45 min. Our waitress was a bit rude and didn't put our order in. But the manager was nice and had our order out in 15min once I brought it up. Three stars for the food, it was definitely worth waiting normally I would have left, but my niece was comfortable. Coffee was good too.

Excellent service, comfortable environment and HUGE portions. Will be back when we are in town next!

Great place with great food! You really get a lot for your money and I've yet to try something I do not like. It's a great mom and pop place with friendly staff. Definitely one of my favorite places!

Great place for breakfast. Service was attentive. Classic place to eat! A must try in springs!

Rude. Unprofessional and rude servers. She seemed to be bothered because we asked for some more syrup for our pancakes! We were asked to pay soon as we took the first bite. The server was annoyed to even refill my cup of coffee. Just don't go here if you want any refills or extras with your food. I'm not sure if the color of my skin was the problem or my face or my gender or what. You can probably get better food anywhere around downtown. The flavor is just average with below-average service.

I don't know how I had never been here before! The vibe is very old school, loved it. You can tell this is a scratch kitchen, and I can't wait to try more things on their menu. The green chili, sausage quesadilla, and steak and eggs were all fantastic. Service was awesome as well despite being busy. Can't wait to go back.

Great service and delicious food! The coffee is hot, and the chili comes in 3 levels of burn. This is a great place to drop in for a filling meal!

Just a few observations: Air conditioning was not working, but still sat down to eat because we were from Houston, TX. (Originally from Colo Spgs). 1). Asked for coffee, but was served a favorable type which we did not asked for. 2). Waited 40 minutes for our food. 3). All of our food was cold. 4). Waitress did not know what she was doing. Horrible experience, will never come back....

Look, I'll be honest, 3/5 stars is more than they should get. But I have faith that maybe they had an off day. I tried this place years ago and remember being super disappointed. BUT! I'll give it another shot Let me start by saying, holy cow! First off, they suggest a reservation, cool, can do! So I make a reservation. So I walk in, the "host" can barely peel himself off The wall, but asks me how many. "Two", I say, he says "okay 15+ minutes, but I won't seat you as an Incomplete party (many free tables around, but I get it, some sections aren't available.)" I say "yeah no Worries, I get it!". Meanwhile, a party of 7 walks in, only 3/7 are actually there. The host tells them they'd have to split into 2 parties of 3 & 4, they say okay. He seats them immediately. I realize it's not the last thing in the world to not be sat, but that kinda felt like a fart in the face that he jumped over me. Long story short, after waiting a bit for menus and then an even longer wait to place our order, my friend and I left to grab brunch elsewhere. The staff is not to blame. This is a management issue. Your staff was running their bums off. I could see BOH staff running food. Y'all are a team, and that's obvious, you deserve better.

Big place with plenty of capacity. Great big menu. Excellent quality and flavor. The coffee is good too.

One of the best authentic breakfast I have had in a long time the house burrito with green chili sauce outstanding! Service was excellent happy friendly staff. Party of four all enjoyed the meal. This is a true authentic and comfort food location must try if the area. Very casual. Large portions. Thanks for a great meal

If you're in the mood for a great breakfast with huge portions this is the place to be. From start to finish the experience was great. Service was prompt, staff was very friendly, and the food/drinks tasty. Being in the Springs, green chili was a must. My fella who used to be stationed there recommended I ordered the habanero green chili to get my chili fix. After multiple warnings I chose to ignore his warnings and proceeded. The rice and beans accompanying my platter were delicious. The rice was nice and fluffy and beans were full of flavor. The green chili was tasty, but as every bite went on, the sweat particles began dripping down my face. This is not the fanciest of places but it good food, great prices, and a nice local joint. Definitely give it a try if you're in the area, I will be planning a returning trip next time I'm in the area.

Great old school breakfast place. Must try the green Chile but beware of the hot - very hot! Service was great and very attentive even though restaraunt was full at prime time breakfast hour.

I had bad experience and then came back and it was worse. I could waste more time telling you more but just know that all the good reviews are really hard for me to believe. It was such bad service and cold food you would have thought they didn't want business. Or maybe they were discriminating against us for some reason? I read the reviews and the people who said they were ignored by the staff, I believe them. The I bet food could be good on some days but it is shocking how little they staff cared and never apologized. I was glad to pay it and never return. Don't go.
