I suspect your post is really going to result in quite a list...LOL. Everyone has their own idea of a "breakfast place", for sure ! From "truck stop" style (not fancy just pile it high", to some places that have some great recipes of their own (like KeKe's pancake batter... with the slightly vanilla taste).

My absolute favorite has not opened yet, Another Broken Egg. First ate there at the insistence of friends who practically DEMANDED we not leave Charleston without eating there. Don't think it had spread so much as a franchise back then, but sure looking forward to the one scheduled for Brownwood.

That's FOR SURE ! ! ! Broke my heart (boo hoo) when even the "upscale" cruise lines began using that colored corn syrup too ! I now take my own... yep, the strange old lady takes her small bottle with her for breakfast out and on vacations. But I still remember when Cracker Barrel was only in Tennessee and ONLY served real maple syrup in individual bottles. Oh how times change right ?

Unfortunately, Evans Prairie stopped serving breakfast several years ago. So that’s no longer an option.

It depends on what you mean by "best." Some folks consider a McDonald sausage egg and cheese mcmuffin to be the best fast-food breakfast sandwich. And some of us wouldn't eat one of those no matter who made it.

Some folks consider "good" to be smoked salmon, caviar, and goat cheese on toast tips. Others prefer a good old fashioned 2 eggs over easy, homefries, bacon, and white toast with butter and jelly. Some prefer theirs with grits on the side.

For "good" in my opinion - there's nothing. A decent breakfast would be the Williamsburg on a toasted garlic bagel from Brooklyn Bagels on 441. That's lox, cream cheese, raw onion, add capers for an extra fee.

Second best, for me, would be 1 egg scrambled well done, grill-top homefries also well done, 2-4 slices of hickory-smoked bacon grilled, not fried or microwaved, rye toast with real actual butter - not margarine. Darrell's is pretty good - though they always screw up the toast. Either burnt edges, or with a big nasty slab of margarine just sitting there congealed on the second slice, or both.

Really? They blend the eggs?! No wonder they're so fluffy.

Well, you have a variety of choices by now! I like Darrell’s Diner and First Watch, but for my money the best is Glenview CC for the weekend buffet. Prime Rib, eggs Benedict, fresh fruit, biscuits and gravy and everything else you can think of including bottomless mimosas for $19.99.

Just a hole in the wall but check out Todd and Shelly’s in, we’ll don’t know what town it’s in just go north on 301 and turn left on SE Abshier for about 1/2 mile on the right. I know it doesn’t look like much but you will love it.
