$60 for Two - Breakfast. ?My wife and I stopped in to have Breakfast this week on 3/27/24. Food was decent, but the prices were absolutely outrageous. The bill for just the two of us was $54.32. All I got was Eggs, Bacon, Pancakes, and Coffee. The wife, an omelet, coffee, and a small OJ. Price of OJ was $6.50, Coffee was $4.50 each. My two eggs with Bacon was $14.75...What a Rip Off to charge these prices... Especially $6.50 for a glass of Orange Juice... Wasn't even fresh squeezed.Certainly with a tip wasn't worth $60... Never again will I go to this restaurant...

Not so good anymore, So I have been coming here since they opened 45 years ago and it used to be excellent. The last 5 years the Downers Grove store has been slowly failing since the Schaumburg Omega owners took it over. Today it fell to a new low. I walk in around 8pm I’m given a dinner menu and I’m told by the server sorry we are only serving breakfast and sandwiches now.. I order a salad and an iced tea, When I asked for a second iced tea I was told oh sorry we already threw it out. Dinner rolls? Oh sorry we threw that out too. The restaurant was still full of people still eating and receiving food. When you know someone ordered iced tea that just sat down to eat you don’t save any extra? You just give one glass and throw the rest out? Terrible Terrible service! If I could give less than one star I would have.

Late dinner on a Monday night. Got served fast, had ribs dinner and a steak dinner. Salad that comes with dinner is not fancy, but good portion. Baked bread was excellent. The ribs were fall off the bone done and the steak was done perfectly. Took the desserts home.

This place is ok. The atmosphere is dated, but the service was great. The food was good. It's a good place for the party of 16 we had but I don't think it be be my personal go-to for breakfast.

I can't believe it's been 10 years since we moved to Lisle, and I never wrote a review about Omega! Just after we moved here (from Washington DC), Omega used to be open 24 hours. My wife and I would drive past it, but never stopped. After Covid struck, they reduced their hours. As a part of our "supporting local business", we decided we'd stop and give them a try, about 2020. Since then, we visit Omega a few times a month! Overall, they're an excellent restaurant, with a very respectable menu, wonderful service (consistently!), and a very comfortable ambience. We saw the plexiglass barriers go up during Covid, and then come down again as the pandemic dissipated. I can't say I've tried everything on their menu - I have my favorites: * Their Patty Melt is among the best I've ever had. * Every now and then, they offer a Pork Chop special, with a Greek gravy and oven-roasted Greek potatoes. Extra-mega Yum! * Their Matzo Ball soup is the best I've ever had, anywhere. Piping hot! And I'm a big fan of HOT - I can always let it cool for a bit if needed. * Speaking of which - *all* of their soups are exceptional, and similarly hot Lukewarm soup is an Actionable Disgrace. * Speaking of which - their oven-roasted potatoes are wonderful. We always ask Omega to put them on the regular menu... and when they *are* on the daily menu, we ask for side orders! * Omelets - it's surprisingly easy to screw-up an omelet. Having had *hundreds* of them at Omega, I have never had an episode! They come out hot, and done perfectly. Every single time. Highly recommended! * Their Bakery goods - WONDERFUL! Don't you dare stop by without trying something! They're on display right up front for a reason. You'll be seated promptly, so wander back while you're awaiting your hot dinner, and take a studied look. The Service - it's always exceptional. We know many of the Servers by name, and like anywhere else, if you're kind to them, they'll be kind to you. Again, this is very consistent at Omega. I can't think of a single bad experience, ever. Oh, yes, sometimes they're tired after a long shift or a busy burst, but they are always friendly, and seem to actually *care* about tour dining experience. The ambience is old-school nice. It's relatively quiet - and although not "intimate", it's comfortable and welcoming. Beware - the HVAC system in the building is also "old-school". If you're on the west side of the room, table window, you'll get a gust of (usually cold) air when the system activates. It's not terrible, but bring a sweater just in case, especially during Chicagoland Winters. My "Inner Grinch" looks for some - any- fault I could find with Omega: there is nothing. A wonderful restaurant, menu, people.
