Actually the Mayor turned me on to this place in the Ontarior, CA area. Farmer Boys was very very good.

Outstanding burgers, onion rings and zuchinni spears also. I had breakfast and dinner there. Thanks Al

The best chicken fried steak I ever ate was at the Log Cabin Restaurant in Hurricane Mills, TN.

@Country Cafe foods are good with breakfast being their specialty with a cozy ambience and warm feel to the place. New location, now is so much nicer and brighter than the original Lamb location.

Mountain Shadows Restaurant in Colorado Springs, CO. 2600 hundred block of W. Colorado Ave. Best pancakes!

The Dutch Mill also on W. Colorado Ave. About the 700 block. Best greasy spoon!

The Kentucky Hot Brown at Phantom Canyon Brewery on The corner of Pike's Peak and Cascade. Also the best Bloody Mary!

Twin Wheels Cafe in Wickenburg, AZ great service and old west atmosphere!

Ridgway's, Orangeburg and Oakdale, Modesto, CA. They make the best hash browns I've ever had, and the waitresses are the kind who call you "hon" and generally don't have to write down your order. It's about 5 miles east of Highway 99 but worth the trip.

Brownstone Diner in Jersey City, New Jersey. Fantastic pancakes with a warm and friendly environment.

Tanks Bar & Grill in Dayton, OH. Everything that I have had is fantastic especially the "Girlie Omelettes" which are 5 eggs, wait until you see the regular size. Service can be kind of slow so don't be in a hurry but it's well worth the effort.

While not necessarily roadfood I feel compelled to mention my favorite Breakfast in Dayton and the surrounding area. Parker's Blue Ash Grill in Blue Ash, OH. Fantastic breakfast buffet with so many delicious items and a wonderful dessert table taht trumps anybody elses. It is definitely on the more expensive side but it comes with a free mimosa, bloody mary, or champagne.

Its hard to beat, a place near my home. Real fried potatoes( I hate hash browns) the thickest bacon I have ever eaten, and just plain old good.
There is a buffet but you know how buffets get.
You almost need a reservation Sunday morning.
Its been there since the 60's, the Blue Flame, Pittsburgh.

Hey Greg,

What was the name of the place that was across 51 from the Flame, back in the 60s-70s? I worked there for 3 days, hated it. The name began with a D; Demitri's, maybe?

I spent many, many late nights/early mornings at the Blue Flame during my wasted youth.

Anyone know of some great breakfast joints in Arizona like the kind you find all over in California? I know of just a small handfull out here. We have a great variety of food in AZ, but two things we're weak on are great burger joints and great breakfast joints.

I missed Britton's with it being off the main drag. The Chocolate Moose just a block up the street is not a place to sneer at. It was terrific as well. Next time I'll check Britton's.

Britton's is strictly a local's place. Very friendly. It's the next street south of, and parallel to, Sheridan, but I can't recall the street name.

generally i'd rather skip a meal than go to a chain restaurant. i make an exception for jimmy's egg. the franchise is small, 21 restaurants in oklahoma, kansas and texas. the original is on north may avenue in okc and maintains an enviable neighborhood joint, grungy-dive factor. it's clean but not new. they "get" breakfast and everything is good. pancakes, waffles, homemade bread, 3-egg omelets with enough ingredient choices to keep anyone happy. hashbrowns are crisp and brown on the outside, soft and fluffy in the inside. home fries, grits, thick bacon, chicken fried steak, corned beef hash are all good. never had an egg that wasn't cooked exactly as i ordered it.

breakfast and lunch 7 days a week. www.jimmysegg.com

german restaurant serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. it's all great food well prepared. but breakfast is exceptional. garlicky oven-roasted potatoes, german sausage or schnitzel as well as bacon, breakfast sausage or ham. sausage gravy and light, fluffy biscuits is a good breakfast all by itself. they're also a bakery so there are lots of fresh-baked breads, bagels and sweets.

breakfast monday through saturday. plus a breakfast buffet on saturday and brunch buffet sunday.

My kitchen. People love my eggs. I let the butter brown slightly then break the eggs right into the pan and fold them into the butter a few times until they are still "wet". They have a rich nice nutty flavor. I like to make breakfast sandwiches with them.

where is the restaurant called "my kitchen" located?. Is there a web site for this restaurant?

I know I posted this somewhere, too.
Nebraska: Lincoln, NE, Hi-Way Diner; Virginia's Cafe; McCook, NE, "Our Place."

I noticed many searches haven't drummed up breakfast diners in the Black Hills area, and since Mt. Rushmore and all the touristy stuff is out here, I'd better post this as I live here and am in the know about good foodie places. So here it goes:

Black Hills, South Dakota area: (Rapid City, Sturgis, Rochford, Spearfish, Deadwood, Hot Springs, Custer)

Rapid City: Cambell Street Cafe (Under Happy Jacks in phone book). It's where the locals go. GREAT people watching. Go early. They close at 1:00 p.m. Fantastic bacon, always great service.

Alpine Inn, Hill City, SD: An old miners' hotel transformed and kept period, serving some of the best German breads, desserts and sausages. I don't know if it's open for breakfast. It's one of the few places that pleases both tourists and locals. Get there early. There's often a line, despite whatever weather or time of year.

J-9 Cafe, Hill City: good and greasy. Good people watching.   Almost always open.

Bay Leaf Cafe, Hudson St, Spearfish: Absolutely wonderful, has many pies/soups, all fresh.  Check hours. Local chef. Call ahead.

Rochford, (Just south of Deadwood) Moonshine Gulch Saloon: There is so much atmosphere, I can't even begin. Bring a camera. Used to be an old stable during Deadwood's gold rush period. Place looks like it's falling down, but well worth the stop. The menu ENTIRELY depends upon the friendly owner, Betsy's mood. Homemade, hand-cut french fries, not from a distributor. Sometimes, she's open around breakfast, sometimes not. That's part of the charm, I guess.

Mt. Rushmore (the actual Mt. Rushmore, not just a diner in Keystone, SD) : I can't believe I'm posting this. This May a friend got a buy one, get one free coupon for breakfast at this touristy place. I just assumed it would be bad, and went with a negative attitude (there are more than one restaurants to avoid in Keystone, trust me). I was pleasantly suprised. While this was in May, and not the height of tourist season, the breakfast was awesome. I had biscuits and gravy. The biscuits were fresh and fluffy; the gravy homemade and peppery; the eggs were good, and the bacon thick. I was very suprised.

Hope this helps tourists!
Natalie

**It should be noted that during the motorcycle rally, (first week in August) some of these restaurants change their menus around (making portions smaller and raising prices) or shut down altogether.   Best to ask a local what places do not change their menus at this time.

I too vote for The Breakfast Club on Tybee Island, GA. I fell in love with shrimp and grits here. Once they had a special breakfast burrito. It was a tortilla flavored with chilis I think, wrapped around a concoction of eggs, cheeses (maybe monterey jack and asada?) potatoes, and chorizo sausage. Mmmmm...good! It was called a Black Jack or Blackhawk burrito I think. Sitting at the counter is the most fun, as the cooks will put on a little show of jokes and maybe a little culinary dexterity with eggs and pancakes!

You might see Sandra Bullock in a booth having breakfast I am told (she built a house on the island). But it's the food and fun that sells the place to me. A weekday is better, gets overrun with tourists (like me!) on the weekend. You will be standing in line out the door. Here's the website to the menu if that's ok:

By the way, this post was my 21st...can I get a Black Jack Burrito for that?
