Overpriced for the amount of food. Paid $35 (w/ 5 for tip) for 4 1/2’s of French toast and 4 biscuits N gravy. After finishing it all I am still hungry. The French toast was genuinely measly at best. Everything tasted fine though so they get 3 stars for that.

Today I had the chance to visit Golden Egg Omelet House, and overall, the food was excellent. Everything was fresh and flavorful, and the ambiance felt warm and inviting definitely a cozy spot to enjoy a meal.
Unfortunately, toward the end of our visit, our server, Candi, made an unnecessary rude comment that changed the tone of the experience. After that interaction, the service felt uncomfortable. I understand everyone can have off days, but professionalism and respect toward customers are important. It was disappointing because the restaurant itself has such a great atmosphere and quality food.
I truly hope this feedback helps, as it has the potential to be an outstanding experience from start to finish.

This is a cute spot. The decorations and the wind chimes give it a unique feel.
The food was delicious and the customer service was great! Cute little Knick Knacks all around the restaurant. I believe our server was Brenda and she was the sweetest! She recommended a very fresh fruit and whip cream for the kids and they loved it.
We got an omelette that was huge ! their cyclone Sandwich was also delicious! We were very impressed! Will come again

We really enjoy going here and have been several times. Fun restaurant with good atmosphere. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Plenty of options for food. The specialty is omelettes which are good but could use a bit more seasonings.
The biscuits and gravy was very good. The biscuits are nothing special but the gravy is fantastic. Also had the chicken fried steak which was delicious.
The cinnamon roll is a great deal, it was gigantic! The roll was light and fluffy and the frosting was great.

My first time, but my Family has dined here for years. No waiting to be seated and the food was delicious. Perfectly cooked (many places are overcooked or under cooked but our food was perfect). We ordered the Breakfast Special and the Hot Mess and both were good. The portions are large, so come prepared to eat alot or take some hone. Our waitress Amber came right over and was very knowledgeable with the menu, had great recommendations and a pleasant personality. I definitely recommend the Golden Egg Omelet House 10 out of 10…

Walking in, you walk into a colorful trinket covered store but with hearty portions of breakfast. Service is quick. We have gotten quickly seated every time we went and they also prep a small portion plate for our son – plate of fruit, whip cream, and crackers, while we’re reviewing the menu. High chairs are available. Parking has never been a problem the two times we went. We felt quite at home every time we went, so this is one of our frequent locations to go to for brunch. Also trinkets are available for purchase! If you’re looking for huge portions, this is your place to go. They don’t skimp out.

Went here for breakfast with some friends. I must say, I was impressed with their food. Their portion sizes are generous and the food is pretty good. Their omelet options are endless! I ordered the Louisiana Hot Mess, I don’t think its on the menu but if you’re a cheese lover like me, you’ll enjoy this dish. I tried their waffle and pancakes and both were good, pancakes were better than most I’ve tried. The waitress who assisted us was very courteous and kept checking us which is always a sign of s good waitress. They have proper pandemic measures in place. The only thing I think they can work on is their host service upon arrival. When we arrived, I waited about 10 min to be acknowledged. Just a simple “hello, we’ll be right with you” goes a long way. (This is was made me not give 5 stars) Overall, really enjoy our meal and definitely recommned Golden Egg Omelet House!

We were hardly acknowledged upon entering and waited around, only to be told to seat ourselves. Service was slow and unfriendly, but it was busy so that’s fine. Food was very bland and poor quality, especially for the price. Coffee was probably the worst I’ve had. I’ve had better pancakes out of a Krusteaz box. You’re better off at any fast food place for breakfast, this was hot, overpriced garbage.

True Cali style and seriously good food. People are nice. Proportions are generous. Maybe 15% above Denny’s, but WAY more food and really made better. Good local people. Breakfast menu always up. My wife and I had a really great time here!

This is a great breakfast spot! I had the ham and eggs and “The Mash” which was basically hobo eggs with cheese. The staff were very friendly and had no problems coming out and making friends with dinners.
An old timer Marine came out from behind the kitchen and played host to just about everyone in the restaurant. It was a very hospitable atmosphere and it seemed like the regulars knew him.
I will be coming back soon for the food and atmosphere.
