For us it is:-

1. Our place, coffee is always fresh and the cook always has a smile

2. Cracker Barrel, we have never had a bad breakfast there

3. Bob Evans always good

4. Too Jays, we ate there a couple times and were pleased with the menu and the food.

Oh, my goodness. Stopped at Red's last Saturday on a whim when we were in the area. Saw all the cars in the parking lot and said it had to be good. Good doesn't even come close to describing it! Will make the drive again just to go there.

Bob Evans, love their crepes and service is great

Athens, love their 3.99 special with coffee and service is great

Havana, love their 4.99 special and service is great

Sonrise, love their 5.50 special and service is great

I personally prefer my own breakfast! However, I only cook for myself (and over-night guests, if any), so I cannot issue a TOTV-wide invitation!

'Sides I can only accommodate a max of 6 for any meal!

We headed over to Rae Rae's this morning because of what was written here and it was great! We will absolutely go back. Everything was piping hot, perfectly seasoned and service was wonderful.
We do prefer supporting local restaurants as much as possible. Cracker Barrel, Perkins, etc, are all dependably good, but they are always the same whether they are here, Atlanta, or Omaha. Athens, Billy's, Son Rise, Lil Bits and now Rae Rae's sure top our list of local breakfast spots. You just can't beat the quirky atmosphere, creative cooking, and friendliness of a (good) local establishment.

Perkins, Athens, Billys - will check out Rae Rae's

[PattyCakes]

Billy's and Cracker Barrel. Perkins is overpriced and I never cared for Bob Evans. Too Jays would be third, IMHO

Have tried them all listed so far and I think the Fruitland Park Cafe is by far the best. Rae Rae's is good but just go another mile South to Fruitland Park Cafe and it's cheaper and better. They have a list of all the breakfast items and charge $1.25 each for the first three you pick and $1 for each additional item. All fresh cooked while you wait. Biscuits to die for, fantastic grits, homemade sausage gravy, serve yourself coffee for .50 cents, homemade toast and great service. So a really good breakfast with lots of good coffee is usually under $5. Tough to beat.

Had breakfast at Rae Rae's this morning. It was excellent. Food was fresh and came out hot. Very pleasant experience. We felt the prices were very reasonable. Corned beef hash was wonderful.

We also had breakfast at Rae Rae's because all of the good reviews on this forum, and we were impressed. I love grits and they made them just right. Nancy

Went to Bonify last Sunday. Many selections on their breakfast buffet and it was very good. Visited Perkins on Saturday morning and it also was very good with huge delicious muffins. Can't wait to try others mentioned here.

We've tried every single one of these places suggested. Golf cart accessable is very desireable to us and as much as we like Rae Raes we usually go to Athens for not only price but good food. To give an example We went to Katie Bells this morning (Sunday) for breakfast and the buffet cost us a little over $22 including tip. We went to Athens Saturday and the breakfast costs about $13. including the same % tip. We like Katie Bells and the variety of food on the buffet and the atmosphere, but also like setting outside on the patio at Athens and watching the traffic, people etc. going by. So to not get into a rut we change now and then.
Now when we get up earlier and want the best breakfast in Florida we do an hour and 10 min ride to Reds in Hernando. If you order pancakes you will get pancakes about the size of hubcaps on a 57 Chevy. They keep your coffee cup full and you'll be bringing home leftovers, all for a very cheap price. Busy place, serves breakfast and lunch and closes at 2:00 pm.
