Tom’s Pancake House in Beaverton is the best.

Been there many times. Yes, it's good. I've always enjoyed it, but I still can't compare it to the Original Pancake House.

There's nothing to start your day like a good hot breakfast.

Three days a week I have to get up at 4 AM to go to an appointment. My wife gets up with me and fixes me an excellent hot breakfast. Makes 4 AM a tad better. It also reminds me of what a great wife I have.

I accidentally posted in the wrong thread, so I will re-post it here.

Grandma's place is usually the best for me. She was from the deep south so she'd usually made grits, 2 eggs over easy, 2 slices of bacon, 2 links of sausage, buttered toast, and a tall glass of fresh cold milk for my breakfast.

She would have me mix my egg yolk with the grits and add a touch of butter and salt. Man, can she cook.

Ok, couldn't find a burger joint thread via search, but...

BURGERVILLE. THAT IS ALL. WHY CAN'T WE ALL HAVE ONE OF THOSE IN EVERY CITY IN THE USA?! GEEEEEEZ,

That place is what all other burger restaurants wish they could be.

GRITS man you had me at GRITS! I know most non-southerners don't get it but.......I LOVE GRITS!

Ah grits.....a Missouri friend turned me onto grits about 30 years ago and I have never understood why they’ve only recently become popular in this area. Mix in some good quality cheese and it’s heaven on earth. One of my favorite meals is the balls and polenta (Fancy name for grits) at 24th & Meatballs. Of course, shrimp and grits is good pretty much anywhere........

I was born in Atlanta. I've got dozens of cousins in Alabama and Georgia, one in Texas and one in Florida. My dad was from rural Alabama and my mother from Georgia.

I can't stand grits. Whenever I'm in the South I ask for fried potatoes instead of grits. I like an over easy egg right on top of the potatoes to soak up the yolk.
 
One of the best places for breakfast was the Mt, Hood Cafe on about 165th and Division. They closed up several years ago, but the omelets were outrageous and on the weekends you had to wait in a line outside the place. The omelettes were gigantic.

Bastard, why didn't you tell me when it was open?

It depends on the buffet, Mirage or Bellagio for breakfast is awesome, especially if you were partying the night before.

It really does depend on where you go and even more so as time goes by. There are fewer and fewer good buffets in Vegas and Reno every year.
 
Diane's on SE Foster, excellent old school diner.

Maple Leaf also on SE Foster, also good. Diner that also serves chinese food.

Y’all have some great choices listed, mothers and Tasty n Sons are tops for sure.

But Breakfast is such an easy meal to make incredible at home. Step 1) buy excellent bacon. Step 2) Cook the bacon just right where it’s crispy as hell but shy of burnt, Step 3) make other stuff to pair with the bacon, Step 4) Eat the bacon and other stuff.

Edit : riverman is correct, great coffee too

Been out to the one in the Lake O. They have a savory French toast.. OMG... I can taste it now...

I've had dinner there a couple times but never breakfast. It's a bit expensive but good.

As a side note, it's not more than a mile and a half from my house. I go by there at least twice a day, mostly to and from the VA.
 
Hoots in Eugene was AWESOME! Each booth had their own little jukebox.

We hardly ever cook bacon and for years when we did it was in a pan on the stovetop.

Now my wife cooks it in the oven in a deep baking pan on parchment paper and it is perfect every time with little mess.

Some emerald suites have great buffet breakfasts.

Yes, and they're very good. I went there one time with my wife just for the breakfast and I found no cashier. So, my wife and I sat down thinking a waitress would take our order. No waitress showed up so my wife went to the serving area and asked someone and they said there's a place to pay over near the checkin/out desk but don't worry about it just have breakfast on us. We did and it was great. Yeah, I'm going to have to recommend Emerald Suites buffet breakfast, free for people staying there and for their visitors.

I’m a cast iron cooker when it comes to bacon. I don’t make it often either. I hardly every have time of inclination for a big breakfast but I do cook dinner often and I’ll sometimes start out with 2 slices of bacon - set aside for either salad or to make a green better. Then use the rendered fat to cook some chix or pork.

I never buy a pack of bacon anymore, I go to the meat counter and buy exactly how many think cut slices I require.

You should figure out how to make bacon into wine.
