Foodies on the Road: Atomic Omelette

Foodies on the Road had the chance to visit the Atomic Omelette over Spring Break.

We had heard great things about the Atomic Omelette so this was our chance to check out a little bit of their fare with a relaxed atmosphere. Upon arrival we found that Atomic Omelette is located in a small strip mall which made parking difficult. Once parked we entered the establishment. This was our fist visit so we were a little confused because there was no explanantion on whether to sit down or wait at the registers. Since many were milling about near the registers we took our cue from them. It a good 20 minutes to get waited on and even acknowledged by the staff. The entry area is small so many people had to stand outside. There seemed to be some confusion at the front from the people at the registers so our wait was longer than normal.

      There are a variety of items on the menu for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. For breakfast, my friend chose the traditional breakfast while I chose the ham and cheese omelette. Understand this is not your run of the mill omelette place. You can build your omelette in any way you want. My companion and I loved this feature and think the owner is on to something cool. Once we ordered there was no explanation to what we did next.
 I do understand this was a busy restaurant, however, it would have been nice to have a little direction. My dining companion and I did not understand we needed to go up and get out own silverware, and other items. Once seated you choose where you sit. Our meal was brought to us within 15 to 20 minutes. Our food was flavorful, cooked well. Both came with a side of fruit and were plated perfectly.The price was a little high for breakfast, but we assumed this was due to the specialty name of the restaurant.

We had a nice time and enjoyed ourselves there. I will say we only had one visit from our wait staff. Most of the wait staff we noticed were standing around chatting with each other near the kitchen. We had no managers come through as they seemed to be discussing something near the registers. Overall, we were kind of disappointed in our visit. We plan to go back as we think that the problems were temporary.
