Omar's Hi-Way Chef Restaurant: Reviews & Ratings
Our server was great. Food hot fresh and delicious. Across from pilot truck stop. Highly recommend if your in area
We hadn't been here in some time, but it was as good as it was the last time we came. The waitress was a delight and had a great sense of humor and was very attentive. 3 of us had the classic breakfast, which is 2 eggs, hash browns/fried potatoes and choice of meat. We chose bacon. The 4th person had chicken fried steak with 3 eggs and hash browns. The chicken fried steak had just the right amount of breading. One of the best he has had.
The cheeseburger club sandwich was amazing. I wish I could say the same for the steak fries.
**Updated Review 3/10/24** They just updated the menu and prices with some substantial price increases. I was disappointed to see 2 breakfasts and 2 coffees cost me over 50!!! I know it’s a sign of the times, but a dozen eggs costs 2-3 at any market, and adding an extra egg to my plate was nearly 4 extra!! So I’ll be passing on this location from now on. It’s good, but not that good. Open 24 hours, working overnights this place comes in clutch when nothing else is open. Great diner options, good portion sizes, and ok prices. I don’t mind spending if the food is worth it. This place, after several visits, hits the nail on the head every time! Foods always fresh, service is friendly, restaurant is super clean inside. Doesn’t always look open from the outside. But they are.
Truck stop diner at its finest, the quality of food that comes out is amazing. Well worth the price and service Is excellent.. delicious desserts
Our server was top notch but unfortunately she was the only server for the entire restaurant until the next shift. I don't know how she pulled it off but I'll tip my hat to her. Those fried potatoes are amazing. I wish they used those on the loaded fries instead of the tater tots. The breakfast burrito was cooked perfectly. I added those fried potatoes which gave it a crunch. Bacon, sausage, eggs, and toast was how I remember how my mom made it. I had that moment of ratatouille where the critic eats the meal and has that moment when he was a child.
Boy I'll tell ya what, I loved this place it was a very simple and wonderful diner. It reminded me of vacationing in the early 90s. I loved the food they didn't have breakfast tacos, but when I asked THEY MADE me some. I absolutely cannot get over how much it joy it brought a single traveler. 1 wing night on game days! I will be going back!
This is an awesome place to eat and drink! Linda and her crew are friendly and the atmosphere was lovely! I highly suggest this restaurant a little late night apple pie ala mode!
