  • Breakfast lovers wouldn’t mind having breakfast food for every meal of the day. There is a lot to love about breakfast food, so it’s no surprise that so many chain restaurants have all kinds of unique offerings for the first meal of the day.
    In fact, there are some restaurants that advertise their breakfast food before anything else, like IHOP, Waffle House, and Another Broken Egg Cafe. It's the best time in history to be a breakfast lover, but whose breakfast food is a cut above the rest? We tried the breakfast at 14 different chain restaurants, and we've ranked them from the worst to the absolute best.

    I was on an emergency management mission to NC when a hurricane hit. Everyone lost power but the local Waffle House uses propane for their grills and was able to feed people during the early bits of the disaster. It was dark, but folks brought lamps and it was almost like a party! I admire their community focus.

Too bad they got away from their initial identity of finding "pancakes" from around the world. La Madeleine or First Watch are my favorite chain breakfast places. I also love Rudy's BBQ or Rusty Taco breakfast burritos. I like Waffle House, but #1?!!! It's great for a diner, but I would rank it in the middle.

      You can't bring up price for breakfast when it's by a very very far margin the most profitable, aside from maybe pizza also having huge margins/profits. The fact you can get an entire meal with carbs protein etc for under $10 means it's not expensive LOL if you were to buy the butter, flour, syrup, eggs, bacon, potatoes you are not getting it for the same price as you would at ihop. You may get more for your money, AKA a better deal buying everything at the store since it's much larger quantities, but if you're looking for a meal not feeding dozens of people there's really no comparison

      Cracker Barrel's buttermilk pancakes are absolutely incredible. As is their Cracker Barrel brand of syrup. Every time I visit the one nearest me, I usually stop by their store and buy a box of their brand of pancake mix - so, I
      can enjoy their pancakes at home. I also love their chicken fried steak & gravy breakfast meals.
      One thing I wish they would do is to offer customers a choice of either toast, biscuits, or a side of silver dollar pancakes with each of their breakfast items.

    You're a 100% correct about Denny's. They can never get over medium eggs right never. Over-medium eggs are tricky, so it takes a bit of skill and comfort level of the flat top. A seasoned cook would get them right. So the only thing I can think of, is that Denny's kitchen staff comes and goes and they do not stay long enough to get used to the flat top.

Dennys is outstanding for their large burgers and smoothies and their coffee it great. There are some other breakfast places in Vero Beach that are just fantastic.

    I agree with most of the top 5, but too many of the breakfast restaurants have started using prepackaged ingredients for their breakfasts. Biscuits and gravy especially are unacceptable when made from a mix; usually tastes like wallpaper paste. Unfortunately many other restaurants have resorted to prepackaged ingredients as well. This gives local restaurant choices greater appeal.

      Only Dillard's in North Ga. is worse. Denny's used to be 1/2 decent, but horrible food and service has been typical lately. Forget the Varsity in Atlanta. It might appeal to the homeless, truckers, and those who don't know what decent food should taste like. Cracker Barrel was a disappointment. People were smoking in the non-smoking area and no one was correcting them. The food was bearable,, but sometimes uncooked or unripe. The gift shop was full of home like gifts made in China. The only things not made there were food items like jellies and old candies. I've only been to First Watch once-not bad. I wish we had a Bob Evans here instead of Denny's. I tried them in Ohio and liked them. Huddle and Waffle House are too much alike-cheap. IHOP was better.

    if you go to Denny's get the whole grain pancakes, you can get it with the Grand Slam, they are much better than the regular pancakes. Also you can order fruit with it for a little extra, it is a good deal and more healthy. i get eggs poached, fruit and hash browns, it is a good breakfast. I do not recommend the coffee though but it might have just been a bad timing- I guess it was old or something. They serve breakfast all day. i know Cracker barrel may be good but if you do not eat sausage and bacon it seems you pay for it anyways, is that true? is there a cheaper non meat option like I get at Denny's?
