nuke'em ttg Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 (edited) How many still hit a small cafe for breakfast on the weekend. I'm gonna start hittin the cafe more during the week instead of ff driveups. I just like the spirit of an American Cafe sitdown and listen to bullchit breakfast.

Chief Dick Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 (edited) We try to hit up a breakfast joint about once a month. The problem where I live is there are no really good small cafe's within a close drive. So we end up at Bob Evans a lot. Pretty reasonable price, especially feeding 3 kids, and the food is pretty good. Edited December 4, 2011 by Chief Dick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keggerz Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 We don't have enough were we live, but there is this one joint that is right around the corner from where we live, walking distance...we have yet to eat there because even at 7am there is usually a line out the door...we tried them for dinner once, wasn't impressed but breakfast is supposed to be top notch I miss the small restaurants from when I lived in the Philly area Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puddy Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Coney Island breakfasts are huge in the Detroit area. Many have a special for $2.99 that includes Eggs, Meat, Hashbrowns and Toast. Quite a bargain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sundaynfl Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 We used to drive about 20 miles into the mountains to eat at one of our favorite cafes anytime we craved a great breakfast ... but have since found a cafe that started as one place and now has six locations around Denver and just opened one in San Diego...

detlef Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Now that we've got chickens, it's sort of hard to justify paying for a plate of eggs somewhere else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bier Meister Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 (edited) when i was getting sundays and mondays off, we used to "sleep in" and make breakfast at home in pajamas on sundays. we don't love having to motivate to get out of the house for breakfast. also we like the act of making it (something our daughter helped with) and having it by the fire with coffee and cocoa. edit: on the rare occasions we went out for breakfast...small cafe Edited December 4, 2011 by Bier Meister Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy Neutron Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 The Mrs. and I hit a small cafe type place twice a month or so on weekends. Breakfast during the week is usually a banana as I'm running out the door. I've sworn off all fast food. Sausage & Egg McMuffin how I miss thee.

Furd Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 FF driveups? I like food. I have any number of nearby places where I can get a good breakfast for about the same price as a McDonald's grease fest. I bet you do to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yukon Cornelius Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 love a good cafe breakfast. Just don't get a much of chance to do it with kids. My kids are finally burnd out of the fast food thingy. when we go out it is to a local burger joint or small restaurant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
detlef Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 do your chickens make waffles? Actually, I'm not a big fan of waffles or pancakes as much as I am of more savory b-fasts. My perfect b-fast is an omelet, bacon, and home-fries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh B Tool Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Having worked on the road many years of my life, I have learned the little "greasy spoon" joints are often the best. Quite a few actually in Seattle, though if they can't baste an egg, I don't often return. Greek cafes are often the best of these places in most towns I've worked in and around.

loaf Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Coney Island breakfasts are huge in the Detroit area. Many have a special for $2.99 that includes Eggs, Meat, Hashbrowns and Toast. Quite a bargain. I never did get the reasoning behind all those Coney Islands in Detroit... There's a place here that is called JTs and for 3.50 you get coffee/drink included with your eggs, meat, hasbrowns and toast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh B Tool Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Here is one of my favorites locallyVoula's. Though it is pretty busy all the time now that Triple D's visited. Love me some Chinese Pancakes, and their pulled pork benedict. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

detlef Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 The problem in my area is that only the IHOP is open before 7 AM. I freaking hate IHOP and this is not a rant against chains, because I have no quarrel with Cracker Barrel. Cracker Barrel makes a simple, honest breakfast, and does it well. IHOP has some dumb-ass menu with a million stupid choices, most of them sound horrible and 17 flavors of artificial syrups. Oh, and the pancakes are much better at Cracker Barrel. I always try a bite of my wife's when I'm done with breakfast and want a bit of dessert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting, lacking many true breakfast options around here (because brunch is never early enough for us), it's our go-to when we do go out for B-fast. Unless we go to the Mexican joint for an egg burrito. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azazello1313 Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 about the best I can do for breakfast is the carnitas and eggs (over-easy) from benny's cantina in denver. we also really like racines, which is right around the corner. I do love a good eggs benedict. the wife likes village inn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
