A Local Breakfast and Lunch Tradition
Serving Escondido Since Day One
At the Golden Egg Omelet House, breakfast is not just a meal; it's an experience that has been part of the community for more than 45 years. As an Escondido icon since 1980, it’s always been family-owned and operated by first John and Karleen Lovett, and now Kristy (Lovett’s daughter) and Bennett Craker. Nestled here, this beloved diner boasts a diverse menu of homestyle cooking filled with classic breakfast favorites and innovative dishes designed to satisfy any craving. Customers rave about the generous portions, ensuring no one leaves hungry. The star of the menu is undoubtedly the extensive variety of 88+ omelets, from savory combinations like mushrooms, bacon, and avocado to unique offerings that allow for customization. In addition to the omelets, the Golden Egg offers mouthwatering options such as huge fluffy pancakes, crispy hash browns, and delicious Belgian waffles, all made with fresh ingredients. For those seeking something different, the potato casseroles and specialty breakfast items, like the mess overflowing with eggs, ham, cheese, etc., are frequent highlights. Lunch options, including hearty sandwiches, ⅓ lb. Burgers, and tasty salads, serve the same large portions and satisfying flavors.
Our mission has always been to provide high quality food for all of those that wish to combine a friendly and enjoyable ambiance with skillful cooking into one delicious dining experience. Our inviting, homey atmosphere, unique gifts covering the walls, and exceptional service—often highlighted in reviews—create a welcoming environment perfect for families. With kid-friendly options and accommodating staff, the Golden Egg Omelet House is truly a go-to destination for both breakfast and brunch enthusiasts, ensuring a delightful dining experience every visit! We can’t wait to see you soon.
