685 Fischer-Hallman Rd, Kitchener, ON N2E 4E9, Canada
Informal eatery serving Greek, Italian & Canadian meals, from breakfast classics to gyros & pasta.
Terrible quality and service. The quality has definitely gone down hill since we last were there a couple of years ago (used to love going, but then moved across the city) There were hardly any gluten free options (can no longer get the chicken souvlaki gf we were told) and the gf option my husband did get was drenched in butter, we assume to try hide the poor quality. My vegetarian stir fry was the worst meal I've ever had at a restaurant. The vegetables consisted only of mushrooms and onion with a few pieces of cabbage and two (I'm not kidding) very small pieces of carrot, absolutely drenched in the sauce, on top of the Greek rice. I should have taken a picture to post here, it was completely unappietizing looking as well. If I could give no stars, I would
Great, friendly, and quick service!! Food was delicious with huge portions! Highly recommend it if you like Greek food, since there is not too many places in town (at least that were open when I was craving it 😊)
Barbara is an absolute gem and made us have a wonderful experience. Had a delicious breakfast at Omega’s again, as we do from time to time. I cannot get over the value of the meal each time. So much food for each inexpensive plate!
Overall a very good breakfast. Lots of food for the price and everything came out fast. The server checked on us several times and brought some additional items without charge. I'd definitely go back as my son is a big breakfast guy and they do it really well l!!!
This is not a traditional Greek restaurant, but more a family style restaurant with some Greek, some Italian, and some American foods. There were not many gluten-free and dairy-free options we could choose from. Nevertheless, the food we had was tasty and proportions were generous. I had the chicken souvlaki platter, and my dining partner had the gyro platter. My chicken (2 skewers) was flavourful and tender, and came with two Greek style potatoes, rice, and a good portion of salad. I couldn’t finish it all. While ordering, we had a question about food ingredients, and the server brought someone to our table to discuss our concerns and offer alternatives. Service was prompt and attentive, and there were endless coffee refills offered. The restaurant was clean and comfortable. I would eat there again.
Today was my first visit to Omega and I certainly wasn't disappointed. I ordered the Hungry Man breakfast for only $13.99 and was amazed with what all it included -great value! The well rounded fresh fruit bowl was a pleasant surprise and the potato cubes had a nice flavourful seasoning! The serving was so large I had to take half of it home. Fast, friendly service, too! Thank you, Omega!!
This restaurant is really good and always busy. The food portions are very generous. I ordered the Olympic Benedict and my friend ordered the Silver Breakfast. No complaints on food or service. But be mindful that this restaurant does get really busy and there could be a line up before you get seated. So arrive early. And don't be disappointed if the waitress forgets to get you extra napkins. They're just that busy.
My husband and I went today for some breakfast after reading a lot of really good reviews. There was no wait even though it was really busy so that was nice. Our waitress was really friendly and everyone seemed to be super nice. The food really looked good but the taste was just not what I was expecting. The potatoes were quite seasoned and the over hard eggs that I had had a weird rubbery texture. I don't typically have over hard eggs so maybe that's just how they come I'm not sure. The toast felt really greasy. The bacon was okay. What I did really like was that when my tea came the bag was out so I could control how dark the tea was. The price was really good for the portion size. Overall I think it was a nice experience but I'm not sure if we would go back.
Excellent food!! Friendly staff who knows customers names previous orders. We eat regular breakfast and sometimes dinner.
Highly recomend lunch If the other meals are similar Go try it. Food : 5/5
LOVE OMEGA - this family restaurant cooks up a wonderful breakfast and is always on point - great prices + Food + friendly staff! Vast menu for lunch + dinner also.
I usually take out the chicken souflaki sticks. Very reasonable price per stick and its full of thick chunks of chicken breast. Service is fast and super friendly. Ok!!! Found our absolute favorite burger w/fries and gravey. I already love their Buffalo chicken salad and now 3s a charm, burgers....who thought try them....charcoal fresh burgers .
I ordered a bowl of fresh fruit today and on the top were several grapes and blueberries, a couple slices of strawberry and the depth of the bowl was full of honeydew melon. What a disappointment. The server just shrugged and said, thats it. Not sure what the cost was as a friend paid the bill. Not good customer service.
We love this place. I brought a friend here who loves Greek and she was not disappointed. We had the souvlaki. Value for money.
I order the lasagna it tasted like tomato paste no other flavour. My daughter order the hot hamburger and it was over cooked a dry.
Solid family-style breakfast spot
We had the lamb shank and the salmon from the specials menu. Salad and dessert were great. The fish salmon and lamb shank were just so dry and tasteless. The potatoes were too salty and undercooked.
Went for breakfast for the last time. The healthy Benedict was terrible. Half an avocado not even sliced on a non toasted English muffin, egg on top and enough sauce for 3 meals. All cold. My husbands omelette and absolutely not homemade home fries lukewarm. Our waitress never came back to see how things were. Terrible food, very expensive
Theyve got a great menu, alittle everything for anybody.. i like their hamburgers, lamb kabob & schnitzel.. theyve also have generous portions
Great food, reasonable prices. Barb, our waitress was great!
While it s important to strike a balance between taste, portion size, and price, this restaurant falls short on taste. Yes, the food is cheap and the portions are large, but the quality is shockingly poor. This was honestly one of the worst meals I ve ever had I couldn t even eat what I paid for. The beef stroganoff, in particular, was made with strange, chewy beef that seemed old and possibly cured. I believe you could reduce the portion size a bit in favor of serving higher-quality food. It s clear that many items are pre-made and, unfortunately, have been sitting around for far too long. The flavor was terrible.
Im never disappointed dining here or ordering via Skip. You cant beat the flavor or serving size of the turkey dinner with white meat. Absolutely delicious
Kid-friendliness: They were super nice to my kids as well as gave them crayons and paper to draw on. Food
Our server Kristin deserves recognition for her amazing service and kind demeanour! Her service is definitely a stand out! We enjoyed our breakfast/lunch today, great food with fresh ingredients - many of which are made in house
I recently ordered 5 dinners from the restaurant. It was for delivery thru Skip the Dishes. . We had 3 Turkey dinners, 1 Minced sirloin & 1 Lasagna . Everyone enjoyed their meals. We All highly recommend ordering from Omega Restaurant. Good food, portions and prices. Definitely will order again!
The service is great, waitresses are friendly and attentive, food is delicious and abundant, love this place!
Great restaurant
Food is exceptional, portions are very large and the price of food is very reasonable. Recommend this facility.
So impressed with the service, quality and quantity of the food!! The servers are so sweet and my takeout was amazing (:
We had liver & hot turkey sandwich. The meals were very nice, hot & delicious. The staff was very friendly and efficient. We would highly recommend this restaurant. Food : 5/5
Good food. Large portions of food at a good price.
This is a place my friend and I enjoy having a good meal together and catching up on our lives. The servers are polite and put a smile on our face
Amazing place. Food was served fast. Great value for the dollar. Would go back in a heart beat.
We ordered chicken souvlaki, Greek salads. It was delicious! The chicken was tender. The potatoes and rice....so flavorful! The portions are generous no shrinkflation here!!!
Amazing food and service. Everybody is so kind. I ve dined in and ordered takeout, today I got surprised with a slice of cheese cake. Thank you!
Used to be our go to breakfast joint, our last visit left us a bad taste in our mouth. Food was quick but it was cold.. service could have been better. In the process of looking for a new spot.
Absolute best place in KW for Souvlaki!!
Great breakfasts, excellent food, nice service.
Greek diner. Not fancy but pllenty of space to meet a group of old friends. Long menu but reliable choice is always the souvlaki. Huge portions. Prompt service. Chicken was moist. Potatoes buttery. Salad fresh fresh fresh. Good value.
Very good breakfast at a reasonable price
Awesome taste! Best in Greeks. Chicken Souvlaki. Burger.
Ample fresh tasty food served here with great helpful caring staff!!! A big shout out to Kat our waitress a kind, caring helpful young girl that served us keep being you!!!
Went in 2023. This play was a joke. ordered, and I got the food 5 minutes later, which means they didnt cook. It was a dish that was just sitting out waiting it was disgusting. Had the worst soup I ever had, and when we left, my sister went back in to use the bathroom and heard the waiters religiously discriminating against us. Went to our hotel room, and the whole family had the Hershey swirts
I held a Retirement Dinner for 24 adults in the small section of Omega Restaurant. I dealt with Wing for the event. She was very accommodating to my needs and everything was set up as I asked upon my arrival. Wing was very helpful and polite and was extremely organized in taking the orders for this large group of guests. The food came out quickly, was hot, delicious and large portions. Thank you Wing and Omega staff for such a nice dining experience.
We went for mother s day and boy oh boy we were disappointed. The pancakes were too crumbly. My sister bit on egg shells in her omelette she asked for a replacement but that was already a turn off. Then cups were smelling raw, this happens when all the dishes and cups are washed together. The cups take on the smell of the dishes. My Jamaican folks will understand what raw means but yeah I had to get my cup replaced. We won t be going there again.
Had the steak sandwich and highly recommend. Great value for money.
Wasnt overly impressed with the bagel egg Benedict. They also charged extra for rye toast. Coffee was good. Service was great and the decor was interesting. Food
The service was great. The food was decent. I loved the polish sausage.
Been several times recently. Great space to bring my family and have good food
Great place for family, friends, and couples. Great food selection of vegetarian, meat platters, and fish. Something for everyone at affordable prices and delicious food. Always have leftovers to bring home.
Great value, staff were wonderful, we took our 1.5 year old and we all thoroughly enjoyed our meals. Will definitely be returning.
Recently went to Omega, wasnt super impressed. Ordered the platinum breakfast, I dont eat sausage and asked for extra bacon or ham in place of the sausage and was told it was a $1.00 extra charge. I kindly refused and just end up with the sausage. The bacon is like ready crisp, super thin and not very tasty. The only redemption was the home fries. But that isnt enough to keep me coming back. Overall just kinda middle of the road, meh kind of place.
We had forgotten about this restaurant.I ordered the Gyros Meal. A large serving of beef/ lamb very lean meat with delicious potatoes,rice and a tasty Greek salad. Under $20.00. My wife ordered the ground sirloin meal. Also very good food and a large serving. Total bill with non alcoholic beverage was $46.00. Great food,good service and fair pricing. We will return.
Friendly environment
Love this family and work friendly place. We used to have lunch with work all the time. Fast serving food that can for our schedule.
I have been to this restaurant several times before with decent service. However, today the start was inexcusable and the worst I have ever experienced in all my time there. As a person of colour the disdain shown toward myself and my wife we decided to leave and take our business elsewhere. I will never return and recommend that as a community within the black community we never support this level of or lack of service.
Wasnt amazing but was a nice breakfast got the gold from the breakfast options $9 one was ham the other Portuguese sausage both were good.
Family friendly place. The server was great, fast with any requests. The breakfast was OK nothing too special, the eggs were super small. The menu was large a lot of selection for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Overall the experience was good would go back.
Service is top notch. Food is excellent.
The server was friendly. A decent amount of food for the price. I would certainly return.
Good portions... good food... average price.
Recently went in for breakfast as I frequent Omegas all the time, I was denied service due to the fact I had a tim hortons coffee, I have been there in the past with a coffee before, I didnt see the issue, I went in for their food not their coffee, I informed the seating lady that I frequnt the restaurant all the time and that if I was going to be turned away I would not ever be coming back and that appeared to not bother them at all, this showed me how important the customers really are.
Omega is my favourite place for breakfast & lunch. Huge portions and delicious food. The home fries are to die for!! We get takeout more often then eating in, as we have 3 kids and it can get chaotic. Food is almost always ready for us in 10-15 mins. I always recommend Omega to family and friends in the region.
Average food, below average prices.
A nice family run restaurant. Food is always cooked to your liking, and the staff is great with the kids. It doesnt matter if your having breakfast, lunch, or dinner they have a great menu. Kid-friendliness: Always had room for strollers and seats.
My breakfast came cold The service was very slow Our waitress came across snotty and really not much personality Most likely will not return
This place is amazing. Great food for great prices. The staff are friendly and awesome.
Delicious, fast, friendly service
Good Greek food. The booths are a little small for 4 people, opt for a table instead. The service was nice and attentive.
Its a family restaurant serving great comfort food at very reasonable prices. My wife and I both had a soup and sandwich combo. Generous helpings and good service.
I wish I tipped more!!!! We just ordered takeout! And I was not expecting that much food and cake!!! They went above and beyond!!! The food is delicious, the chicken is hot and juicy!!! 10/10 will order more!!! Thank you
This was my first visit, I went with my dad and I had a great time, I enjoyed the food and the service was great!
Ordered chicken souvlaki for takeout. Very good experience and highly recommend this place to anyone who loves souvlaki. Very generous portion sizes, nice and juicy chicken and priced very well compared to other restaurants. The staff were also very polite. 10/10 must have.
Busy Sunday lunch place, they dont have a gluten free menu but the staff seem knowledgeable about what you can and cant eat. Large portions and good food, service was very rushed and not very friendly which is understandable since its busy. Dietary restrictions: No gluten free menu or any icons on the menu. However the menu is large enough that there are certainly options.
Clean and tidy
The good: Potions are big The not so great: -kabobs are very rubbery textured and lack flavour. - for some reason the pork schnitzel taste so salty and not as good as it used to be. -The salads here just taste like they have been in the fridge for more than 12+ hours and are nothing special. - The turkey here lack flavour big time and is dry - The stuffing here is incredibly salty and doesnt have much else stuffing flavour - gravy here is also very salty...
Good food and service.
Delicious & huge portions
We went to celebrate me passing my G2 road test. The food is great there always.
This is my absolute favourite place for brunch! Amazing eggs Benedict, amazing home fries and amazing service. Always my first choice for a good breakfast! 10/10.
Delicious breakfast! The potatoes are nicely seasoned and the meat is high quality.
Ive been going to this restaurant for breakfast for almost a decade. The servers put in effort to remember your order and make it feel personal!
Good breakfast
WOW!!!! Visited this morning for breakfast, never been before. Place was packed, we were seated within a minute. Our server, Barbara, was over within seconds, super friendly, very informative, took our order. Food arrived very quickly and immediately blew my mind. Huge I mean HUGE portions. Everything tasted amazing. Our server Barbara was a sweet heart and we will definitely be back!!!!
The Omega Family Restaurant is my go to place for great food, quality, and servings. I order take out and the amount of food you get in your order is second to none with Greek food. The salad is a large salad and the skewers of chicken are great. Very tasty and for such a great value.
First time here very good food and not too expensive. The staff is friendly and bottomless coffee!
My son and I had brunch here and it was an amazing experience. We would definitely be back. We ordered pancakes and scrambled eggs for him and I had a Spanish omelet. We also ordered a cheesecake for dessert and it was decadent.
The food was really good just the steak was slightly overcooked for my liking but other than that, friendly staff, amazing atmosphere, awesome home fries, the design of the place is just beautiful and me and my friends were really comfortable at Omega! Will most definitely be coming back for more amazing food!
Was in the area and needed to bring lunch home my wife and I. I figured Id try somewhere new. From the moment i stepped inside the hostess was super friendly and nice. Very patient while I figured out what I wanted. They had my order ready in about 10 minutes. We got a chicken wrap and gyro wrap with salads. The salad was great, lots of bacon and toppings. The wraps were pretty huge and we were both stuffed. Pricing was right around where it should be for the food we got. When my wife opened the food she was super excited to find a few pieces of cake. I hadnt ordered any dessert so Im not sure if this was just them being generous or if it were a mistake but it definitely worked in both of our favours! While waiting I witnessed the other server being extremely pleasant to a young family with kids. Totally will be bringing my family in to have lunch one day. Keep up the great work! Kid-friendliness: The servers were so nice to the kids and adults eating!
I dont usually write reviews, but this restaurant is exceptional! The chicken souvlaki fed both my husband and I, and it was just excellent!!! So flavourful and the chicken so tender. This meal was wonderful!
I really like this place. Ive always enjoyed the food here. The atmosphere is very calm and welcoming. I enjoy stopping in once in a while on my drive home. My last visit I got the hot hamburger with a salad. The meal was well prepared and tasty, plenty of food too, I couldnt finish my fries! The garden salad is perfect with a nice mix of veggies and a really good dressing.
Excellent restaurant for breakfast lunch and dinner! Great service, great prices highly recommend
Had the schnitzel, was yummy.
Fantastic place for authentic, home-cooked style Greek brunch. Highly recommend the beef liver entrée!
Good fast, friendly service, fair prices
The hand made burger was tasty. Friendly, helpful staff.
It was OK! The prices were in line with other restaurants. It wasnt busy. I found our server not very attentive.
Great food at a decent price rare these days
Great food good quick service and great price
Good and service
I would give my left kidney for the potato recipe. The greek potatoes just hit the spot, they are delicious. I ordered the souvlaki pork with rice and potatoes and side greek salad. The ingredients in the salad were so fresh. Such a good meal to take home on a Friday night after a long week.
Recommended
Excellent cost performance ratio! We ordered brunch and combo souvlaki. Strongly recommend. Big portion!
Great spot for breakfast. Portions are very large and could easily be shared or taken for a second meal. Vibe is homey, staff very friendly and welcoming. Great service.
It was mid day and there werent many people in the restaurant but the food was very good. I wouldnt recommend the Greek potatoes. They were over seasoned and it was difficult to enjoy them.
1 oclock breakfast was amazing as always! Better yet. Wing our server was an absolute gem.! Go for breakfast. Ask for Wing. Delicious! Thank you!
Great portion sizes, quick wait times. Chicken and pork were great. Lamb less so. Greek salad, potato, and rice were great
Good food and great dessert!
First time stopping in today, was really good and quick we had dinner the Hercules burger is HUGE and very good my wife had the fish and chips and really enjoyed it also. Pricing was great and our waitress was awesome too. We will definitely be back
Great service
I ordered the special chick cordon blue. It was a piece of chicken covered with a slice of Kraft cheese and the whole thing was completely covered with a thick gravy. Disgusting and surprising as we had ate here previously. Probably the worst dish I have ever been served anywhere. Enjoy yourself but be careful what you order
Food was ample but not hot. Crispy bacon was not . Service was good. Parking: Lots. Food : 4/5 |
Cheap breakfast food. You get what you pay for
It was a great experience. Very helpful staff. Great temperature (not too cool with ac on). Portions are large. Great value for the prices. Food tasted great.
Good size plates, price is not bad, food quality, well, you get what you pay...overall a decent family restaurant.
Awsome best breakfast in town
Beautiful place to have some great English breakfast.
Great lamb souvlaki comparable to steak
Early morning gem.
Food is good, customer service from management is awful and unprofessional.
Great hungry man special
Great breakfast spot
A classic place for a good breakfast with friends
Ordered out and they gave us such huge portions and even each a slice of cake.... the food was incredibly good too.... its almost stunning to see everything be mediocre anywhere else and somehow everything was amazing here. Bravo Food
Very good food and service. Went for breakfast on a Sunday morning, waitress was nice and the food was yummy and decent price.
Its very reasonable, good size portions staff is great, Ill go back and give it another chance
The only Breakfast place I will ever go to in Kitchener. The price menu isnt over-priced and you get more than plenty food with every meal. The food tastes amazing, and I have never had a complaint about any service. It can take a little time in the peak hours to get served, but nothing out of the ordinary. Ive been coming here for over 10 years and will continue to.
A rare restaurant, big portions fair prices and authentic recipes. Our familys new favourite!
I struggled to find a quality go-to breakfast place with reasonable prices around the Tri-Cities until I stumbled upon Omega. Exactly what I was looking for. Good food, generous portions, friendly staff, and not trying to fleece me for my money. Highly recommended for all to enjoy.
Breakfast 8.99. Awesome place for a good buck for breaky.
breakfast is great serves great food always delicious
Got a basic breakfast and it was pretty bland. Nothing special here.
1st time there with a group from work. Food choices are great. My lunch was excellent. We will come again Parking: Its a mall plenty of parking Wheelchair accessibility: Excellent.
Worth it everytime. The portions are great. The quality is phenomenal. The staff is attentive. The parking is abundant. Some GF options and easy to ask for a substitution. The owner is often talking with her costumers and that shows how invested she is in her business. Thanks for always being so kind. We have ordered takeout as well as did dine in. Both for breakfast and for lunch/supper. BTW you need to try the chicken slouvaki meal worth every loonie/dollar! Oh and the best is that the fruit salad is FRESH not canned!!!
The food never disappoints me when ever I eat here. Really like the Greek potatoes . Had the full rack of ribs, nice and tender, meat falls off the bones.
Great place. Been coming for many years and looking forward to many years to come. Thanks.
Ill keep this one short l, best breakfast in the kw area. Great value for money, you will not be disappointed!
First time here , breakfast was great
Always good food, nice portions and decent prices.
Great Portions, Great Prices, Great Service and most importantly awesome tasting food. You cant go wrong here!
I love this place for breakfast. Great customer service and they are always accommodating to our large number when needed. Keep in mind it does get busy
Review edit. 2023 better service but very delayed. Took a while to just get a coffee. Breakfast was good as we ordered 2 western and they were filling. 2022We were served by a very upset, rushed server. She made us feel like we were bothering her every single time we asked for a coffee refill or anything in general and...keep in mind she is even wearing a mask. The food was not good or tasty at all. I ordered French toast with eggs and a side of bacon. The French toast were basically toasts with a side of the toast that had a thin layer of egg with no taste at all. The scrambled eggs added nothing and the dish came with more toast. Hubby ordered an omelette with cheese, ham and onions and it was overcooked and had no salt. The home fries were at least hot and they had a sprinkle of some flavour on top My friend ordered the egg Benedict with pemeal bacon and they were served with a bagel that got reallly mushy and almost soggy with the hollandaise sauce that tasted nothing like hollandaise sauce. She added the home fries tasted like French fries. Coffee was just ok. As we were leaving the lady eating just close to our table said she had never had a chewer (looked like a wrap) pork before there and also complained about the service saying she misses the old owner. That is when I learned they changed owners. Well, it might be the explanation of the lack of quality in the food compared to our previous visits but the service really went down the hill too. Also if you need to use the rest room...toilet does not work properly. There is even a bucket with water by the toilet...suit yourself. No pictures unfortunately as we were so busy chatting away. No next time for me here.
A decent place for breakfast on the west end of the city. Portion sizes were generous. I got the platinum breakfast with ham, bacon and sausage. The sausage was excellent, the bacon was a bit dry and the ham was nice and thick. I think next time I will get all sausage. The potatoes were fried and season perfectly and my eggs came over easy as ordered. Service was efficient which was needed because the place was very busy. The decor is dated with lots of natural wood booths, but it has a retro charm to it. All told with tip came to $20.
Great food. Loved it
Very nice place for food and friendly service.
Great breakfast for a good price
Great food, excellent prices. Huge portions of well-made food. I usually can t eat it all.
Visited for the first time today. I was greeted right away by a lovely server with a big smile and bubbly personality. I ordered the Souvlaki Combo meal to go...I paid and waited 10 minutes for my order. The food was packed with care, tasted amazing, with large portions. To my surprise, I received a free slice of delicious chocolate mousse cake. Im definitely coming back with my family.
Yes food is cheap, but you would save more money and make food that taste way better if you went to the grocery store and made your own. Ordered apps. They were awful . Tasted like reheated frozen apps from the grocery store that were air fried 3 days ago. Hands down the worst apps I have ever had in my life. If I made that at home I would consider it gross and throw it in the trash. Customer service wasn t good either. The menu is huge ( probably why everything is frozen low quality and pre-made, down to the fried food) I asked the waitress what she would recommend from the lunch menu and she couldn t even make a suggestion and seemed annoyed for even asking. I played it safe and went for breakfast as my main and once again was gross. I could make it better at home . You can tell there is no effort going into the food. I took 3 bites of my trio melt and decided to pack it up to feed to my animals. at least that way it wasn t a complete waste of money. Won t be returning.
We came to Omega for breakfast because it was close to where we worked and we came to learn we found an amazing spot. The staff made it a great experience; the service was on point and the decor had a classic, historical feel. We all left saying, that was so good, wish we could stay longer.
My only complaint if you can call it that, was how hard it was to pick what I wanted. Great options, excellent portion sizes. The food was delicious.
We had the shrimp souvlaki, excellant, nice size, fresh shrimp, 2 skewers. Large portions, their slice of baklava are huge, i took it home for later. Parking: Parking is at the curb if you are early, otherwise there are many spots available
Its one nice place to go and have breakfast, maybe lunch and dinner too but i went here for breakfast only.. its good to be here and ambience is always nice and you can see happiness in the whole restaurant, even servers are always happy to serve and patient to listen.. good to go always
