I'm sorry to say I can't recommend the food here. Perhaps if I had ordered an omelette, I'd have better things to report, but the corned beef hash is straight out of a can. It looks and tastes just like dog food. Also, they make the biggest, driest biscuits I have ever had. They taste like someone left out the shortening and substituted talcum powder for baking powder. Finally, the coffee is truly awful: all the acid and none of the flavor. read more

This was a great breakfast for the whole family. I went here growing up and a couple times since. We went again this Sunday fairly late in the morning and there was plenty of room. The place has a nice mix of booths and tables. We were seated right away and our waitress came by to get our drink orders. Our meals arrived from the kitchen fairly quickly. The food was great. I do like my biscuits and gravy and I am fairly judgemental of biscuits. They serve a huge 3+" drop biscuit. Usually I turn my nose up at biscuits that are not folded but these were quite good! I was very impressed, I would say they were the best drop biscuits I have ever had. The fresh fruit side had 3 or four options, very cool. My wife's over medium egg was cooked just right, the bacon was nice and thick, the scrambled eggs were fluffy with no runny, everything just right. The coffee refills were great! It was fresh coffee and they really keep it coming and are polite about asking if you want a warmup instead of just filling it up like some do. They were by the table again and again and as a guy that drinks way too much coffee I was very pleased. The price was unbelievably cheep! I don't care for omelettes that much so I skipped right to the speciality breakfast but didn't see anything over $10. The kids meals are big enough for an adult to eat and all under $5. This place does not have a fancy interior or exterior, no cloth napkins, no surly hipster wait staff, nothing on the menu that you are not sure exactly what it is. What it does have is good food, good service, and good prices. If you are looking for a great classic breakfast then - WooHoo! As good as it gets! read more

The bacon is amazing!!! I come for the bacon! It's usually pretty busy but the staff are super friendly and hard working. They offer dark roast coffee & fancy creamer. read more

I was not expecting much when I walked into Sybil's this morning. A friend of mine had told me that the place was a dump that served decent food. I was very pleasantly surprised this morning. Sybil's was well laid out, clean, and properly staffed. This place has obviously been there for a very long time, it is a charming little place. My bacon omlette was fairly priced for a generous portion. For giant appetites they will make any omlette a six egg feast for an additional charge. The quality of the food was far better than Shari's or Denny's. It may not be gourmet but it was very good. read more

loved them until the prices went up. Always got only average service but it was worth it for the food, but last time I went in the food quality had gone down and the prices had gone up. Not to mention they're only open until 2pm. read more

Here is the funny thing....I hate the taste of eggs. So you can imagine my opinion when it was suggested we try Sybil's out for breakfast. However, we were meeting family, and not wanting to be the fly in the ointment, I agreed. I am so glad I did! The menu is diverse enough where not every item has eggs. The wait staff are friendly, the food is plentiful, and the quality is great. We've been back a couple times since, and have yet to have a bad dining experience. read more

Ate here after being told no breakfast after 11am at Sassy onion. What a pleasent suprise, waitress was extremely friendly, omelet #11 was huge, everything was very old school just the way a breakfast place should be. We'll be back read more

This was a decent homemade breakfast. I had eggs Benedict with bacon and sausage and spinach and tomato and a side of hash browns. The service was good, a little slow but helpful when they came to the table. It's a very homey feel starting with the deportations and the cooking. Decently priced and clean. I would recommend it if you don't want to wait outside word of mouth for ever. read more

Delicious food and although it's been a while since my check in I do remember the waitress was rude and inattentive, but when we talked to a manager type woman she took care of it for us. read more

Pretty good breakfast... Been meaning to stop here for years... So many choices, just for Omelettes! the waiting time was Close to an Hour

Great. Unpretentious, filling, fresh. Fading neighborhood joint. Gotta follow the signs carefully off the highway to find it. Worth a trek.

this is truly the best breakfast i may have ever had! and i'm from the south so that's really saying something..... bacon is perfect biscuits are huge and fluffy country fried steak was the best i ever had hashbrowns were cooked to perfection and all for such a good price! best breakfast in oregon i dare say! read more

I ordered their specialty omlet and it was gross. It tasted like canned spinach and undercooked zuccini. The hollandaise sauce tasted like nothing. My husband ordered chicken fried steak and he was not happy with anything except the homemade buscuit. read more

This is another one of those places that is so good you want to keep it on the down low & keep it all to yourself. I have yet to go here when it hasn't been busy but I understand why. Even when busy we have never had to wait long to be seated. It has a very homey atmosphere, great food, friendly service & just an all around great restaurant. This is our go to for breakfast & lunch because it's a sure thing!!! It is consistently a great place to eat. read more

Average omelet, the fillings I choose were incorporated into the eggs and some scant shredded raw cheese was inside the folded middle. I prefer all the ingredients inside my omelet. It took 45 minutes to be served my breakfast which is way to long to wait. I won't be back. read more

i have lived in Salem since 1985. In the beginning the staff were some of the best there is. They always greeted me with a smile and a Diet Pepsi. I would bring in my family and friends just to have a good meal and laughs. Then things began to go downhill, the Manager (Stephanie) started showing favoritism to her friend ( Janelle). the waitress was very rude and abrupt. rarely did she smile and you could tel when she was having a bad day. Other staff had a hard time working with her never ending mood swings. If she wanted a day or weekend off; she got it. Even if it meant canceling other staffs' days. Over the years, several of the best cooks, waitress, and dishwashers have been fired or quit because of the manager's way she treats and talks to the staff. She assures them that their jobs are secure; if injuries, illness or family crises came up. Then she comes up problems or missed days or petty issues and feels justified in FIRING THEM. Hell, she takes more time and sits in her office and doesn't know what is really going on. Co-manager(untrained), or "special" friends will tell her whatever story they come up with to make them look good and the target look BAD AND GUILTY. That's how Stephanie makes the unfair decisions I wish the owner would talk to some of the ;longtime staff people so she will see what bad MANAGEMENT Sybyl's has All I know is that the food is very good; and most of the staff are great; but until there is a major change in the lead staff; I wouldn't recommend going there read more

Yum! Great food, even better service. They were happy to take our party of 7 (including a toddler) when we walked in, and they were very helpful and nice. :-) read more

Great greasy spoon diner in the middle of Salem. The decor of the restaurant will remind you of a country kitchen with chicken antiques accessorizing the dinning room. The portions are very generous and entrees could easily be split by two individuals. The menu has page dedicated to different omelette , naturally I chose a bacon and cheese but some selection could include pineapple or seafood. The omelette came with crispy hash browns and a large biscuit. The omelette was fantastic, cheesy and loaded with hunks of bacon. The hash browns were crispy and the biscuit although baked well lacked flavor. Overall I felt everything needed a little salt. Lastly our waitress wasn't very good. We asked what was In the breakfast burrito and she replied 'taco meat' as a San Diegian I chuckled, taco meat could be carne asada, carnitas, or a fried fish. Also we had to ask other staff members to grab our waitress for our tab and to make a to go order nor did she ever check in our table for a half full restaurant. read more

This was a great find! So many choices for breakfast - not just omelettes but I admit probably the best omelette I've ever had. In our party of 7 not one person disappointed.

Omg!!!! Yummy we are from out of town looked this place up on the net just thinking it would be a good place to eat breakfast, little did we know it would be so amazing! Everything is made from scratch no store bought muffins or frozen hashbrowns and the omletes ooohh the omelets I got the #19 it is a Hawaiian omelet with pineapple, ham, bell peppers and cheese. If you are in Salem this place is a must eat. read more

Sybils is my go to breakfast place. I feel like my grandma just cooked me the manliest breakfast a man could ask for. Come with an empty stomach or you'll be sorry. I highly reccommend the pepperoni and cheese omelet and get the biscuits and hasbrowns. The service is very old school and dont come expecting classy fancyness. You will spot alot of soldiers in there at any given time. Because soldier dont tolerate bologna. I've gone there since I was a kid and proudly filled my punch card twice ( Im only the second person to do it ) However They do have a ton of regulars so if somebody else tried im sure they'd be successfull. Enjoy ! read more

Tons of options to choose from! I've had several of their omelets, and you can't go wrong. Everything is very fresh and yummy! Be sure to check the chalk board when you first walk in, as they post very good specials on there. Also, their coffee is delicious - not sure what brand it is, but it's very good. Don't let the outside fool you, the place is homey and service is great. read more

Sybil's is exactly what it's supposed to be. Yummy omlettes and friendly service! I ordered the Crab chives and jack cheese with hollendaise on the side it was filled with good size chunks of real crabmeat and the perfect amt of cheese along with hash browns and an English muffin. My belly is happy! read more

I am not a big fan of breakfast food in general, so I was hesitant. Boy oh boy am I glad I came in! Best Reuben EVER! Delicious fries, and nice coffee. Has all the charm of a southern diner, but without the racism and much cleaner. read more

It's been here for years, the food is pretty good but watch out for the extras like gravy or avocado. It can make a reasonable breakfast very expensive. Found out the hard way. $30 for two omelettes is ridiculous. read more

Delicious omelettes. Not greasy at all. We got the fresh fruit instead of the hashbrowns which was lovely. Biscuits and muffins right out of the oven. My husband described his omelette as "perfect". Excellent, friendly service, and all for the right price. Highly recommend. read more

Excellent food, very reasonable prices, and good service. If you like omelettes this is the place, but I'd choose this place for any breakfast food. read more

Food was really good with large portions and a very friendly staff. We were going to go to Ihop but both my husband and I are glad we went here instead. If we are in town again we will definitely be back. Yum! read more

This is an excellent country breakfast restaurant. More than fifty styles of omelettes to choose from or modify to your hearts content. Excellent service. Relatively short waits even when packed. We went here two mornings in a row while visiting family over a weekend. read more

Sybil's Omelettes - Business sign as seen from booth inside. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Salem, Oregon

Great place for a simple breakfast. Their service can be a bit spotty, depending on which server you get, and the quality of the omelettes aren't terribly consistent, but still a decent place. read more

Perfect portions. Excellent food. To die for homemade gravy and biscuits. Amazing staff. Wallet friendly. The specials are delicious. Very clean. What more can I say? YUM!!!!!!! read more

A hidden jem, I've driven past this place probably 100's of times. I've always poo poo'd it because of the exterior, & it closing early. What has made me want to try it is the full parking lot every time I've driven by (when it is open). I dragged my co-workers there today for our monthly work lunch & we were all extremely satisfied with everything, which is saying a lot, because we are very picky & very critical. Our server Joy was so friendly, funny and 100% efficient, (One of the examples of great service is when the server delivers the food to the person who ordered it w/o having to ask). The Food, the food, the food...fresh, flavorful, beautiful & delicious & fast. We will all being coming back for our next monthly work lunch, & I will be taking friends & family there. Well done. read more

Super good food and reasonably priced.. I have eaten here a few times and never have been disappointed with my meal. The staff is friendly although they seem to be understaffed there is a lot of waiting from getting your coffee to getting a warm up and long wait to getting your food. I would recommend this place others..although if you're in a rush this is not the place to eat. read more

One of our favorites. We plan our trips South from Seattle around Sybil's for breakfast. Country Fried Steak & Eggs - in the top ten in the nation! Spinach, crab & asparagus omelets, mmmmmm! read more

Great place to come and have some tasty food. All the staff are friendly and the know how to make a real omelette. The prices are very reasonable. read more

The service is excellent! And the food is just as fabulous! If you're looking for amazing breakfast, look no further! Although omlets are the specialty (I've never been anywhere else with such an amazing selection) everything else is just as great. These aren't your standard run of the mill omlets. Biscuits are made fresh, in house. AMAZING! read more

I used to love this place but I went back recently again after a couple years and I was left very unimpressed. I ordered a bacon and cheese omelette and it was just very bland to me. Most of the people you see in here are elderly couples that seem to have been coming here for the last 30 years. They are very reasonably priced and can make you pretty much any omelette combination imaginable. If they have it as an options, I strongly recommend their coffee cake muffin! read more

So many omelets to choose from. Build your own. Never been to a place with so many choices. I want to try other items on the menue. But always try a different omelet just too many choices of meat, and veggies. I hope one day to get to the pancakes, french toast or bisquits and gravey. One day read more

The price is right. I personally loved their mushroom avocado omelette. The interior is a bit rustic, but it actually adds to the feel. Breakfast foods are always one of my favorites, and I think i'll stop by the next time I drive down from Portland. read more
