History was made on November 11, 2013. Something occurred at Omelet House & More that hadn't happened since the restaurant opened its first location back in 1979. A customer named Ivan became the first to down both of the restaurant's "monster challenges." The first boss: a 12-egg omelet with sides. The second: a three-pound burger (with more sides, of course). An impressive feat—one that earned the man a T-shirt and immortalization within the restaurant's hallowed walls. Thankfully, there's no need for customers to scale that culinary mountain. Each of the diner's three locations boasts a breakfast and lunch menu with dozens of items that don't require an industrial-size stomach.

For breakfast, there's stuffed french toast and steaks covered in sausage gravy. Lunchtime brings a shift in focus to homemade soups, sandwiches, and half-pound burgers, including one covered in Ortega chiles. The two diners on Boulder Highway also serve a light Mexican menu, while the one at Boulder Highway and Russell stays open for dinner Friday and Saturday nights—the perfect occasions for celebrating the weekend with a hand-cut steak. One thing all locations have in common: classic diner booths and kitschy knick-knacks, which like the restaurant's country-style scramblers, are cheesy in the best possible way.
