There are tens of thousands of restaurants that serve breakfast in the United States. We’ve narrowed that list down to 101, no easy task. A handful of these restaurants are the sort of fancy, white-table-cloth place you bring your Gram and Mom for Mother’s Day, but well over half of our picks fall into the casual, inexpensive, high-volume restaurant, where you can get a fluffy stack of pancakes, French toast, and perfect omelets (what makes a perfect omelet is up for debate at a later juncture). Sixteen of the restaurants who made our list consider themselves “American diners”. Dare we say they’re making a comeback?
Since many of these places are serving upwards of 1000 guests in a short 3-4 hour timeframe, refer to these tips to help get you out of the waiting area and saddled up to a short-stack ASAP:
Time is of the Essence: Arrive early, before 10am y’all.
Size Matters: Parties of 2 to 4 get seated faster than larger parties. That’s because Tetris-like magic has to happen to get a party of 6+ into a small restaurant.
Patience is a Virtue: On the weekends, the wait is an hour plus. Come by, put your name on the list, go for a stroll, and get a text when your table is ready.
Order: Save the fried egg and toast for tomorrow’s breakfast. Order the signature dishes! You waited 30+ min for breakfast…you’ve earned it.
