Dave Roundtree, has been making omelets there for over 15 winter seasons and many proclaim his omelets are the best in the Valley. Back in 2020, Dave even hit his 100,000-omelet served after 13 seasons. Dave is known among Winter Texans, and travelers who stop in for one of his fantastic creations – whether it’s an omelet or a tantalizing waffle masterpiece. When walking inside, if you are there for breakfast, you are often greeted by his hearty “Welcome!” Dave makes the omelets as they are ordered with a choice of toppings – mushrooms, bacon, onions, just to name a few. He takes his time to create his masterpiece, cleaning his pans off after each one made. According to Dave the secret of a great omelet is the sautéing of the veggies and cooking it until dry. Many restaurants do not sauté the veggies and the result is a soggy omelet. Over the years we have enjoyed more than a few of Dave’s omelets and every time we come away knowing that you’ll be hard pressed to find better. Dave’s gift for gab is as great as his cooking. There’s no charge for a good conversation with Dave. In fact, it’s highly encouraged. Back in 2020, Dave said he would serve omelets as long as he can. “I like it. It’s not hard and I can talk to people,” he said. That’s great news for Victoria Palms. It’s also terrific for all those who go by the RV Park, hotel, and restaurant, which is open to the public. The food is definitely worth the trip. Being part of the great Omelet Dave experience is just an added bonus – at no additional cost. Victoria Palms Restaurant at N.
