This restaurant came recommended from my brother's place of employment, and we came for a late lunch/early dinner.Parking is ample and love the Greek decor as soon as you enter. Staff is also warm and welcoming.They have quite an extensive menu, and the soup of the day was chicken or vegetable noodle. They also serve a bread basket and butter, and most entrees include a dessert, which the guys chose the Tres Leches cake. My brothers ordered the steak enchiladas with a choice of soup or salad. They chose salad. Hubby ordered steak fajitas with salad, and I ordered the New York strip steak sandwich with chicken noodle soup.The food portions are great. They put two huge onion rings in my sandwich, which I had never had before. It was tasty. Sorry, no pictures of the cake. Everyone was full and took it to go. This is a wonderful establishment with great staff and food. If you are in the area, stop in and grab a bite!

I have been going to this restaurant for years now and last year on thanksgiving I did my usual of going out to breakfast before cooking thanksgiving dinner like I have done forever and I noticed everyone around me ordering the thanksgiving dinner. So I thought that the next thanksgiving I would forgo breakfast for lunch and see why everyone was ordering the thanksgiving dinners with turkey because I next to never cook a turkey on thanksgiving. This is a nice Greek style restaurant and no dive. I did order a spicy Bloody Mary which was average which had no straw and disappointing because it's hard to drink a beverage full of small ice.Ok here's the run down on the thanksgiving dinner, choice of protein that includes turkey to salmon and much in between see my menu pix, bread basket, soup, choice of potato, dressing, gravy, cranberries and desert choice.I chose turkey, mashed potatoes, turkey dumpling soup and pumpkin pie as my meal only because I next to never have a traditional thanksgiving meal.The bread basket looked great because it had ciabatta style fresh rolls instead of boring dinner rolls, good job. The turkey dumpling soup was good but under seasoned like everything because it's cooked for the masses but salt is on the table. The dumplings were al dente and irregular which might be house made and hit the spot. The turkey plate looked amazing with gravy all over everything on the plate. The gravy was average and yellow while I prefer a more traditional brown gravy. The dressing was a soul food corn bread style that was way too loose/super wet for my taste. The mashed potatoes were dense with clumps letting you know that there real and no box. The turkey was excellent because it was a mix of dark and white meat, thank you because I like dark meat and it was real turkey because I had that stringy cartilage thing from the legs in my plate. All the turkey was moist and tender to my surprise. The cranberries were were skin in jamb style, not to sweet which I don't expect to be home made but did the job.Overall the thanksgiving dinner had pros and cons for my first restaurant in a very very long time and I can't even remember my last thanksgiving restaurant dinner. It's more 3.5 stars but 4 stars will be given because they executed a well attempt at home cooking most of the meal especially the fresh moist turkey and I might have a new respect for moist cooked turkey again. I had no service issues except that they were busy and my server did her best but couldn't give everyone all her attention, no harm no foul.

Great place for breakfast. This has been a go-to for me for 20+ years.So I wanted breakfast after my mani at 2 on a Sunday afternoon and I came to the Omega, the ubiquitous diner offering a little bit of something for everyone. I also wanted to relax and read The NY Times for a little while.Originally a Greek diner, it appears to be under Mexican ownership as Greek food is replaced with Mexican. There is still an EPIC menu including staples like liver and onions s and plates of meatloaf and cheeseburgers. April is easily the friendliest and best waitress in the restaurant. She uses a lot of "hello love" and sweetness in her vocabulary, and should adopt a cockney accent. Her service was amazing - efficient warm and friendly. I wanted breakfast and chose my usual, the Greek omelette. There are 4 eggs in every omelette. It was dense with tomatoes, feta, onion and gyro. Nice little cup of yoghurt cucumber sauce. Crackling crispy has browns. They got my toast wrong but no biggie. Kept the coffee flowing.Great food, but the omelette was a little dense for me. I guess I shouldn't complain about a packed-out omelet!!!!! All in all, this is a great casual dining place when you don't want fast food and you don't want to pay brunch prices. My meal cost $18.95, 13.99 for the omelette and 3.49 for coffee. I guess I don't eat out enough- really, 3.49 for lackluster The ambience is 1980s Greek diner - well kept up - and very lively with many families.It was fun to be here alone because of the sound of laughter and friendliness around me. I used this a rare opportunity to read the Sunday NY times, Relaxing place to hang out.I forget about coming here because the pandemic got me to prefer cooking in my kitchen. I'm a great cook and breakfast is easy to make. But sometimes you've got to treat yourself and the Omega is the perfect Sunday spot. Thanks April - great job!!!!!!

It's been maybe over 20 years since I last been in Omega. I have to say it brought back memories. So, let me get into it.The food is the same as I have always remembered it. It's always consistent and like my friend said, there is everything on the menu so anyone can find something they want to try. I got the Greek omelette. I really did like it! The service wasn't the best. I will give our waitress credit as it was pretty busy when we arrived. The atmosphere or ambiance like it call it was good. I will add in that the seating seemed like it hasn't changed in the many many years. Still very stiff and dated seating. Overall, anyone can find something on the menu to try at omega!

The restaurant doesn't seem clean and also doesn't seem to know who they are. Such a strange mixture of items on the menu. Went with a Reuben and it was bland and not good at all. The wait staff were messing around with a table of extremely loud guests seated right by us. It was obnoxious and distracting. I won't be going back.

This is actually a review on both times this year that I've gone to Omega the first experience I'm going to talk about is the one that I had with my fiancé I know that I have definitely had more experiences alone here and I have never had a problem with the food ever, I actually think we had the same waitress, then that my mom and I had this last time I just haven't gotten out much to restaurants due to my unemployment, but my fiancé and I had the pasta the shrimp Alfredo to be exact and man it was a good portion. The shrimp was a good size as was the portion of the noodles you got so We were both impressed. Due to my health, I've been extremely thirsty so they were patient with my thirstiness of refilling, my water or my soda. My other experience was just this last week I believe it was this last Tuesday? We had been organizing my Storage and we've gotten done real late so we showed up at Omega and we both ordered the Reuben sandwich and although it was a little drier than I wanted it to be it was very very good and that they don't stinge on the meat, my drinks were taken care of, and even though being exhausted the food came at a good time it was another good experience. I think the staff is pleasant enough. I will definitely return, although they really need to do something about the homeless situation. There's always at least one guy sleeping on their bench outside. They should not just keep ignoring it. The city needs to get on that shit I get it they're homeless. But the city, even though they keep saying they've taken care of the situation they come back even worse than before but I know that entire situation is not something that Omega can do anything about, but what they could do is realize that they have a homeless migrant situation on their benches.

I found out why Debbie was so rude. She's the owners wife. I spend at least $50.00 a week not including take for family and bringing friends and family. No more ever. No wonder why parking is easier now a days...so sad. Food ain't bad. All i said was service was going down recently I left twice in the last 2 weeks because servers that served me dozens of times walked by with not even hi, Debbie didn't want to hear it and told me to leave i did hungry. But as we all know there are a lot of choices . One across the streat

We come to Milwaukee from Texas once a year to work and this is the 3rd time that we visited Omega Restaurant and every time the food has been amazing! Today Erin was our waiter and she went beyond any regular waiter to please us. She took the time to talk with us even though she was busy. She was friendly and very professional!Each of us ordered an omelette that was delicious and also ordered the Blintz to share... the order was enough to share between 2-3 people and for us has been the best Blintzes that we have ever had, cooked to perfection! We already can't wait till next year to visit Omega again, see Erin and have the best Blintzes again :)

Omega is a staple of Milwaukee's Southside! I've been going there easily for 30 years and they always deliver amazing family food. I absolutely love the Greek style chicken breast. My wife is not from Milwaukee and it is now one of her favorites. Thank you guys
