Lovely. Yelp reviews are on target. We had the green chili pork skillet and it was loaded with succulent shredded pork. A few chunky red potatoes that my husband said “were excellent!” Not too spicy at all – really – so go for it! (But then again ASK because Hatch chilies can vary!) Okay…the Eggs Benedict Florentine with bacon added was spot on. Poached eggs, fresh spinach, and the lovely hollandaise had a TINY HINT of something….just an itty bitty kick. Bacon was thick and crunchy. Now about their hash browns – get a double order if you love crispy hash browns (ask for them crispy). They are THE BEST IVE HAD. Not dripping in oil or butter. Flavorful and absolutely SPOT ON. Nice service. Family owned. Nice. We got here on a Saturday around 12:15 and it wasn’t busy. Can’t understand that – it’s worth a ten to twenty Mike drive. Yasss!

Christie’s Deli – Menu with Prices – 1822 Spring Garden St, Philadelphia

I’m from jersey and I moved to Philly for grad school. Ever since being here I’ve been looking for a good place for breakfast bagels. I’ve been to Christie’s before and fell in love with their lunch specials and would come back every week to try something new especially the bulgogi… holy crap more like bullwoahgie am I right? Ok I’m sorry. Anyway I moved away to east falls for a bit and only recently returned to brewerytown where I’m now close enough to enjoy their fantastic options. So on a whim this morning I took my girlfriend there and she got the salmon lox bagel and really enjoyed it. The bagel was soft yet crunchy, the cream cheese was not caked on like other establishments, and they did not skimp on the salmon which is a must. Without even thinking I ordered a bacon egg and cheese on an everything bagel. Suddenly they gave me the most magical option I’ve ever been granted, he said, “would you like a hash brown on that?” Time froze. When I tell you I haven’t felt joy like this since I got my citizenship papers I’m not lying. I fckin love hash browns and all their forms!!! After zoning out for about 30s I finally said yes. Omg yes I’ll marry that bagel with a hash brown on top. So we grab a martinelli’s Apple juice (the goat) and sit down to eat. The hash brown is perfectly cut so each individual bite has egg, cheese, bacon, and hash brown, the bagel is crunchy yet soft without tiring your jaw, the bacon was crispy and salty as it should be. My god my mouth is watering thinking about it again. I will be back soon and I hope you’ll give it a try too. Also they are so nice and friendly there they even know their regulars by their first name and and if that’s not customer service idk what more you’d want. TLDR: this place is phenomenal and you should go; there is something for everyone.

The Farmhouse – Menu with Prices – 11804 Indiana Ave Ste 200, Lubbock

Disappointed. The exterior makes you think this will be a nice place to dine. The atmosphere is pretty basic and on the lower end of places. The attitude of the greeter and wait staff was not welcoming. The food was nothing special at all. The French Toast was soggy. It had no “toasted” exterior to make it French Toast. The hash browns were just shredded potatoes with no crispy ness or “browning” to make them hash browns. Eggs were plain. Bacon was nothing special. Seemed to be chewy, limp, and greasy. The syrup seemed like cheap store bought syrup. The biscuits and gravy was bland. I would not recommend this place for breakfast since there are many better options nearby.

Cook’s Cafe – Menu with Prices – 1300 N 66th St, Lincoln

Good breakfast at a good price with exceptional service. It’s simple, clean, and no frills. As I normally do when I’m visiting another city, I went all out. My order consisted of a half order of biscuits & gravy, sausage links, hash browns, bacon/egg/cheese omelette, and 2x blueberry pancakes. The biscuits and gravy were good (and oddly enough had enough pepper…most places never use enough pepper). The sausage links worked well with syrup. The hash browns reminded me very much of waffle house hash browns, which are also good. The omelette was fine, but didn’t really stand out. The best part of the mean was definitely the blueberry pancakes. Those monsters were terrific. Even though I gorged, my bill was still under $25. And my coffee cup never got below half full despite my beat efforts and probably drinking a pot and a half’s worth. Not sure if this joint is worth going way out of the way for, but if it’s close by and you’re wanting a nice down home breakfast; this is a great option.

Palacio Cafe 2 – Menu with Prices – 227 Don Gaspar Ave, Santa Fe

Disappointed beyond belief. Mexican food is one cuisine that is hard to screw up but this place was able to do just that. After a long drive we stopped for breakfast because of a 4 star rating on yelp. Only one table was filled and the wait staff didn’t see us for several minutes. We ordered a breakfast burrito, huevos rancheros, eggs/bacon/hash browns, and pancakes. When our food came the portions were incredibly small. Nothing was homemade down to the bacon. I actually spit it out and questioned whether it was another animal besides pork. We determined that it was precooked bacon from the store you reheat in the microwave. The tortillas were cold and hard. The hash browns were cold and from a bag, not made in house. When our food was dropped off our pancakes were missing. 5 minutes later the staff said oh by the way the cook dropped the pancakes and it will take another 15 minutes, do you even still want them? Not once were we asked if we needed anything. This place is a joke. This is the worst service I’ve ever experienced and couldn’t finish eating. Disgusted. Stay away and save yourself the disappointment.

Dierk’s Midtown Café – Menu with Prices – 1422 4th St, Santa Rosa

Dierk’s is incredible! Today was my 3rd visit there, and let me tell you…delicious!!! My first visit I had the biscuits & gravy. Very tasty! However, if you’re looking for that traditional super fluffy biscuit…this isn’t it. Which I didn’t mind it all because it was more enjoyable this way. Not such a heavy & dense meal, like typical biscuits & gravy. My second visit I had Gompa’s pancake breakfast w/ a side of bacon & hash browns. Don’t judge me…I was hungry. The pancakes were fluffy, eggs cooked to perfection, hash browns well done (just as I had asked.) Delightful!! I left there very full and happy. My third visit, which was today had me exploring the salads. Let me tell you, they did not let me down. The poached egg salad is the most delectable, mouthwatering, flavorful food I have had in quite some time! INCREDIBLE! Just order it and thank me later. You like salad? Check. Eggs? Check. Croutons? Check. Bacon? Check, check, check! Trust me on this one, Dierk’s will become your new favorite hotspot! P.S. Did I mention the pull apart bread?! Also the service is always wonderful!

Coffee Fixx Menu with Prices 3020 SW 6th Ave, Amarillo

Twice before I meant to go here but I kept ending up at the wrong place. Today I got it right and was sure glad I did. This is a great little spot, only open till 2 p.m. but their breakfast is great. I bet their other food is too. I got the breakfast special which was $6 for two eggs, choice of meat, hash browns and choice of toast or pancake. I’m not a big pancake fan but I had a good feeling about this place so I ordered it. The pancake was wonderful. The eggs were wonderful. I wish I had remembered to ask the guy to cook the hash browns extra crispy but they were still good flavored. Oh, and the breakfast includes coffee. Triple strength coffee. I haven’t had coffee that strong for ages. I may not sleep for a week. I forgot to ask the guy behind the counter if he was the owner (I’m pretty sure he was) or just a very good employee but he was very pleasant, welcoming, and informative when I asked questions. I thought maybe the place was new since I hadn’t heard of it before but he said they’ve been there for 2 years so maybe it just didn’t show up on my Yelp results because it’s too far from where I’m staying. Do I recommend this place to others? Absolutely!

Punta Sur Cafe and Restaurant – Menu with Prices – 2725 S Beneva Rd, Sarasota

We decided to try this place out for breakfast as we saw it was new owners. We were the only ones in the restaurant.The breakfast menu didn’t have much for American breakfast, (chorizo, corn, & pork) in most dishes like the omelets. We were looking for just regular eggs, toast,bacon) the omelets contained chorizo, corn, or kale none of the ingredients I like. We were talking about leaving when the waitress (older lady) came over to let us know she had not put up the specials yet but that we could get regular bacon, eggs and toast. that’s what we ordered but instead of bacon we decided to order the lechon (pork) My daughter ordered a breakfast burrito. My daughters food arrived first with homemade tortilla chips that were delicious. My husband and I waited about another 5 minutes for our food to come out. My daughters burrito was not wrapped correctly and she had to reward it so the filling didn’t fall out, it wasn’t overly flavorful. My daughter thought it should have come with hash browns instead of the chips. Our breakfast looked great except the amount of pork on the plate was embarrassing. It looked like about a tablespoon of pork. The breakfast was cooked perfectly but it was an average breakfast you can get anywhere. It was 6.70 so the price was good. I can’t explain the toast though it was rye toast but stiff as a board. As we were eating the waitress put up the specials ( mushroom and cheese omelet ( I would have had that if I had know it was available) corned beef hash ( my husband and daughters favorite) the price is average and the decor and atmosphere are less than average. It felt like we were eating at the food court in the mall. I think there are better breakfast places like Millie’s or the IHOP.

Lucky’s on 16th – Menu with Prices – 86 16th Ave SW, Cedar Rapids

Came for a early morning breakfast Great service, food was also very good. Hash browns were perfection A+ Eggs were perfect as requested; food was not greasy or heavy.. portions were excellent (above average) quality was top notch. WILL RETURN! my only complaint.. (which is not really a complaint, because i did not ask for non smoked bacon) was the smoked bacon.. i am not a fan of bacon with smoke flavor added, but nevertheless i had the option of sausage (which i hear is amazing) i will try that next time and review. NOTE: bacon is awesome for people who enjoy smoked bacon.. very tasty high quality and done perfectly.

Addy’s Diner – Menu with Prices – 530 Euclid Ave, Cleveland

Traditional diner food served with a smile. I visited early on a Saturday morning. I arrived around 6:45am thinking they would be open, but I learned via a Facebook post of theirs that they didn’t open till 7am on Saturday. I decided to go for the Eggs Benedict that comes with hash browns and I’m glad I did. The hash browns were made of sliced potatoes that were plentiful and fresh, not dry or over cooked. The ham was a good salty ham and the eggs I was given were cooked just enough so when I cut them the yoke drained onto the plate to combine with the sauce to give more deliciousness to spread on the eggs and wheat grain muffin. The service was very friendly and timely. All of the staff greeted me with a smile and asked me several times how my food tasted. They seemed to really want to make sure the food was good and that I was enjoying it.

Cabrillo Park Cafe – Menu with Prices – 4949 Stevenson Blvd L, Fremont

FIRST THING TO KNOW IS 3%. I will explain at the end. We came yesterday for a late breakfast and there were a lot of people. We did get seated appropriately and they he manager was nice and accommodating. 1. We waited a while to order. Granted they are busy, I get it. 2. They brought out our food and the waitress said somebody took my order. She offered to replace it with a similar one that was there but to add the one item my order had and the replace order didn’t. I opted for my order because it is really what I wanted. Strike 1 3. She brings out a plate, puts it in front of me then realizes it is not right takes it away. Strike 2 Ok, I appreciate the honesty to admit a mistake was made but this is getting ridiculous. 4. She brings out my order and I say that I ordered the omelette with hash browns and not home fries. She then shows me her receipt saying Home Fries. I would never say home fries because I really do not like big chunks of fried potatoes. Then she says do you want the hash browns? I say never mind. This will do. And I say this because it has been a while and my family is finishing their meal. Strike 3, I’m done. 5. She then brings out hash browns and says we want to make you happy. 6. Now for the 3%. They charge you 3% if you pay by credit card. Hey how is not explained when you walk in and it is not on the menu. So I ask the manager and he shows me this tiny sign below the counter that they charge 3% for credit card purchases. Dude. Bump you prices by 3%. I don’t usually complain but this was not a good experience. The food was just ok. My son got pancakes and they were rubbery. He did not even finish them. But the bacon was crispy and delicious. I give it 2 stars for the service and that they were honest. And seeing an added 3% was like a kick in the nuts because not only did I have a bad experience, now I have to pay more for paying with a card. Aaarrggh. I am frustrated just typing this out.

Empire Wingz II Menu with Prices 9402 Burbank Dr, Baton Rouge

I’m oddly picky about wings, y’all. Like they can’t be greasy, they can’t be too gooey, I like sauce but they can’t be dripping in it unless it’s hot wings OR these. This place is definitely low key and you must be committed to wings to stop in because there’s no drive thru and you must get out of your car to pick up. They do accept phone orders but I would still expect to wait a bit. The wait, is SO worth it. So you must get the BBQ ranch fries. Don’t faux soul search and talk yourself out of it. Yes, they are fried and not healthy, but you’re eating wings for god sakes, why stop now? Crispy crunchy fries, drizzled in ranch and wing sauce? You’re going to effing love them. When you get to the wings, don’t pass up the spicy garlic Parmesan. There’s a ton of butter and cheese and they are SO crunchy on the outside and juicy in the middle. Beautiful. We also did the double dipped OG and honestly, I thought they would be saucier. If you do these, get extra sauce to dip. Good flavor, but I was left wanting more. If you want a real authentic non chain wing, this is your spot. It tastes like you’re having wings in your backyard with your crew – all you need is a nice cold beverage to wash it down. And some Zantac. Lots and lots of Zantac.

Butch’s Place Family Restaurant – Menu with Prices – 3330 W 26th St, Erie

Cute little diner, very busy and now I know why! We stopped in after finding this place on Yelp. What a treat. We all wanted a hearty breakfast after a rough night out. It took a few minutes to get a table and quite a while to get our food, but the coffee kept coming and the ladies working were friendly. The omelets were cooked perfectly, not over done. I’d definitely recommend Butch’s breakfast potatoes over the hash browns. The hash browns were under cooked. The breakfast potatoes were fresh cut and cooked on the grill…perfection. The pancakes were the BEST I’ve had in a long time. The batter had a nice flavor and the texture was heaven. They had a hot griddle crispness to them and were soft and fluffy in the middle. We ordered the vege omelet which came with potatoes and toast, an order of 2 chocolate chip pancakes and a breakfast combo that came with two eggs, two plain pancakes, meat and potatoes, and a coffee and the bill came to $26 before tip. Not bad pricing, but those pancakes are worth every penny. It was a good amount of food. Just what we were looking for!
