I love the service, the attention was unsatisfactory for my taste, the food was a little lacking. I ate ranchero eggs, but the only thing about rancheros was the man.

Our go-to breakfast place for the weekends. Make your own scramble with cream cheese is always good.

Giving TOH (The Omelets House) a 3-star may not be fair. But when you see a 4.6 star on Google Maps, there's a certain expectation that was set.TOH skirts slightly above IHOP or Denny's in terms of quality and price. Definitely not a mid or high-end breakfast joint. It absolutely serves the local community well and the service is wonderful.But this is a food review after all. The hot chocolate is just Swiss Miss. Pancakes are decently fluffy. Fruits and French Toast was dry. Waffles were well made, crispy but had less "weight" and substance. Eggs and sausages were of Denny's grade. Quite frankly, as a stand-alone local breakfast joint, I really wanted TOH to be more than this. I get it that at such a price point, only certain quality is possible. But really...TOH has potential. Just with a small investment in ingredients upgrade, it should be able to absolutely hit the sweet spot of local brunch spot that caters to everyday neighbors while patrons feeling proud of what they eat. And yes, I do think it can raise the prices to get there, gently.However, just a local brand of IHOP just simply leaves me wanting more.Parking: Decently large parking lot with ample spaces.

*** Update***I recently went here again and tried the corn beef hash. I highly recommend it.Also, tried the Belgian Waffle so fluffy and butteryI passed by this place a few times and always wanted to stop by and try it. Finally, I got to try it, and this place is amazing. Upon entering, it seemed super busy. It looks like the place has been here for a while, but the chairs and tables looked modern. Not worn out and faded looking like some places.I was warmly greeted, right away. She looked like someone who enjoys her job. She told me that he chicken fried steak was the special today. So naturally, I had to order it. The portion was just right. It was crispy and so flavorful with the gravy.The other item we ordered was a ham and cheese omelette with pancakes. It looked so basic, but the flavor was amazing. The pancakes were buttery and delicious.I highly recommend this hidden gem. It is definitely worth it. It was reasonably priced, and the portion was just right.

This place is great. Pretty much exactly what you’d imagine a sitcom diner to look and feel like—I just got coffee but the food looks good too!

Great biscuits and gravy if you're there on the weekend. Nice staff and a cozy, retro-diner feel.Ask about updated pricing, though.

One of the slowest breakfast experiences. It wasn't that busy as we went around 1145a but the host didn't sit a few two-party groups with the few open tables she had for whatever reason. When there were more people in line waiting, she finally sat people down. I'm not sure if it was to create a buzz or not but vacant, set-up and CLEAN tables with waiting customers is peculiar. they are also slow on making orders. it wasn't that busy though the kitchen was backed up. food is decent though not when we have to wait to be seated and for it to come out. Hangry. also if you're over a size Medium, good luck in trying to sit in the booths comfortably. It's a tight squeeze.It's an older place with popcorn ceilings and questionable cleanliness overall.
