Most Disliked
Some diners mention that the space can feel a little cramped during peak hours, especially on weekends when it runs at full capacity. The wait times can be longer than desired, potentially causing frustration during busy brunch rushes. Customers with specific dietary restrictions have reported limited options for substitutions on certain dishes, particularly with side items. A few reviews note that the garlic-heavy home fries can be overwhelming for some, which might detract from an otherwise delicious meal. Lastly, while typically great, there are occasional variances in service speed when the restaurant is at its busiest.

The Omelette Headquarters is a great small town feel. Friendly staff, free refills on coffee (came around 2x) and the menu is huge to pick from!

Located in the heart of Wakefield, MA, Omelette Headquarters is not just a restaurant; it's a delightful journey back in time, housed within the charming confines of an old train station. From the moment you step inside, you're transported to a world where the past and present blend seamlessly, offering an extraordinary dining experience that’s both nostalgic and novel. Our family adventure to Omelette Headquarters was nothing short of spectacular. The menu, brimming with breakfast and brunch classics, left us spoilt for choice. My Western omelette was a masterpiece of fluffy eggs, vibrant peppers, and succulent ham, each bite a testament to the fresh, quality ingredients they pride themselves on. My kids dove into the ham and pancakes, which they declared "amazing," a kid-approved stamp of excellence if there ever was one. Meanwhile, the French toast, enjoyed by my wife and mother, was a symphony of flavors that danced on the tongue, a perfect balance of sweetness and texture that left us all wanting more.

Ordered omelettes they came out quick and fast ! Food was really good! As I responded below dietary restrictions I myself I'm allergic to garlic the home fries were loaded with garlic !!! They don't really do much substitution gave me sliced tomato still taste good though. It was kind of nice refreshing change the tomato so all in all is really yummy.

Awesome breakfast place. Lots of food with the best bang for the buck in my opinion. The restaurant is a little on the small side overall so expect a little wait time since this place tends to fill up quickly. The service great and very friendly. Will definitely be back.

We visit every year from out of town and always make sure we stop here . We missed the last year with the apparent ownership change. Food was as delicious as always and service was fantastic. Zero complaints!

The service here is wonderful. Great omelette, but I felt compelled to write a review based on service alone. The staff is extremely attentive which is much appreciated, especially from a bartender/server as myself. If you want to eat out and not have to wait 10 minutes for a coffee refill, I'd highly recommend this place. Good job. Oh, and the bacon is slammin.
