The Perfect Saturday: Family Dining Near Pirate Park and Thompson Park

A good Saturday in Bellflower often includes a park, and a park visit usually ends with the question of where to eat. Omega Burgers at 16310 Bellflower Blvd is a casual option for families spending the day around Pirate Park and Thompson Park. It has smaller burgers for kids, a full kids meal section, sides made for sharing, breakfast for an early start and both indoor and outdoor seating. This guide covers what to order and how to plan it.

The family-friendly part of the menu

Several items are well suited to families:

• The Junior Burger and the Junior Cheese Burger are smaller versions of Omega's regular burgers, with a quarter-pound charbroiled patty, homemade 1000 Island dressing, onions, shredded lettuce and tomato. Each is also sold as a combo.
• The Three Burger Sliders plate is a Swiss mushroom slider, a ranch slider and a buffalo chicken slider, which works well for siblings who want to split an order.
• The Kids Meals section bundles an entree with fries and a 12 oz. soda. Options include a kids hamburger with ketchup and pickles only, 5 kids chicken dinosaurs, a kids grilled cheese, a kids corn dog, a kids hot dog and kids fried chicken.
• Regular combos, including the Cheeseburger Combo and the Double Cheeseburger Combo, give parents a full meal with small fries or a regular salad and a medium soft drink.

Sides for the whole table

If the group is sharing, the Side Orders list has plenty to choose from. The chili cheese fries and the Homemade Onion Rings work as table orders, and there are mozzarella sticks and zucchini as well. A shake rounds out the meal, in flavors that include vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, Oreo and Nutella. For more on the sides, see the sides and sauces guide.

Breakfast before the park

If your Saturday starts early, Omega opens at 7:00 AM. The order page lists a French Toast Special (2 extra-large eggs, 2 slices of French toast, and 2 bacon or 2 sausages), a Chorizo and Egg Burrito and a Kid's Pancake Special (1 extra large egg, 1 pancake, and 1 bacon or 1 sausage), along with many other breakfast items. The Breakfast Specials are listed for 7:00 to 11:00 AM, so they suit a morning before the park. See the breakfast guide for the whole menu.

Eating in, or taking it to the park

Omega has indoor seating and an outdoor seating area, so a family can eat at the restaurant after the park. If you would rather have a picnic, order ahead on the order page and pick it up on your way. For a larger group, the order page lists Omega Pack bundles of 4, 6, 8 and 10 burgers with fries and drinks. See the Omega Pack family bundles. Online ordering stops 30 minutes before closing.

A sample order for a family of four

• one Cheeseburger Combo and one Double Cheeseburger Combo for the adults
• a kids hamburger meal and a kids chicken dinosaurs meal for the children
• one order of chili cheese fries or onion rings to share
• shakes to finish

That covers a range of appetites from a single order, with no one needing to settle.

Timing a Saturday

Saturday hours at Omega are 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM, so there is room for a breakfast before the park, a lunch after it or an early dinner. Online ordering on Saturdays stops at 9:30 PM. If the weather turns or the kids run out of energy early, switch the order to delivery and eat at home. Delivery within 8 miles of 16310 Bellflower Blvd (Innowi-managed); confirm your address at checkout.

Planning a picnic order

For a picnic, choose items that travel well and can be eaten by hand. Burger combos, sliders, chili cheese fries, onion rings and mozzarella sticks all fit. Ask for sauces on the side, since ranch, 1000 Island, blue cheese and salsa are each listed as separate sides on the order page. For a larger group, look at the Omega Packs, which come in sizes from 4 to 10 burgers with fries and drinks.
