If you decided today to eat one omelet daily from Amy’s Omelette House in Long Branch (732-222-1206, www.youramys.com), you should make it through the menu by next Easter. Add another month if you’d like to tackle the pancakes too.

If you decided today to eat one omelet daily from Amy’s Omelette House in Long Branch (732-222-1206, www.youramys.com), you should make it through the menu by next Easter. Add another month if you’d like to tackle the pancakes too.
Owner Amy Kopsaftis, who runs the eatery with her brother, Ted, notes that the bounty of dishes are a family legacy. “My father developed most of the omelets when he owned Mariner’s Cove in Brielle for 23 years,” she says. “But Ted is constantly tweaking the recipes.”
Beyond the kitchen, Ted is also responsible for Amy’s quirky décor, which features antiques and oddities aplenty, including mounted records and vintage cereal ads. If there’s a wait for a table—quite likely on weekends—you can immortalize your boredom in the working photo booth out front.
But the real draw is the food. Kopsaftis says the Belly Buster is Amy’s most popular omelet. “It’s ham, sausage, bacon, mushrooms, onions, peppers and cheese,” she says. “The Super Belly Buster is topped with pork roll and cheddar.”
Whew. But lest one think that an Amy’s breakfast is all about excess, regular customer Larry Collmus of Monmouth Beach offers a level-headed alternative: “I eat breakfast here every day and order the same thing—egg whites and multigrain pancakes.”
“You can also substitute fruit for the home fries,” adds Kopsaftis.
And since breakfast is the most important meal of the day, Amy’s serves it all day long.
