We Tried 14 Chain Breakfast Restaurants. Here's The Best One

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 live around 150 or so miles from the nearest Craker Barrel or Bob Evens. I once spent a long weekend at a motel that had Bob next door. I not only had breakfast for 4 or 5 days in a row, something you forgot, they make the worlds greatest pies. So I went in and had a slice every night. before bedtime. and I have never done that anywhere else.

[@dianarogers7880]

I would seriously rate Denny's higher than IHOP. Food at IHOP came to the table with ice crystals. Toast was not toast - bread soaked in melted butter. Neither meal was edible. Denny's food at least comes to the table hot. I'm picking Cracker Barrel as the best. Have never been disappointed.

[@augustusmccrae7714]

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.

[@druegillis1744]

Waffle House is a hangout for “Night People” and not where I want to have a sit down breakfast. Cracker Barrel is more family oriented, has real maple syrup and generous portions.

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.

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

I agree with most of the top 5, but too many of the breakfast restaurants have started using prepackaged ingredients for their breakfasts.

When I got out of the Army at age 20 (1980), my first real-world job was cooking at Waffle House....No order-tickets to look at whan it got busy (waitresses would call the orders out, in WH code, and you had to get it ready by starting it right then, or else remembering it verbatim!), and since the grill and waffle-irons are right there in front of the bar/booths, the Eyes of Texas were Upon You (so to speak) the whole time. That's where I learned how to flip easy-overs (w/o breaking any yolks) with one hand.....~while~ slamming down toast or pulling a waffle out with the other. When the bars closed and it got *busy* , people would finish eating and just hang out to watch me wheel and deal. I'm 62 now, and I still have my WH name-tag pin in a box somewhere, and, over the years driving/on tour, in the Southeast I ~always~ eat at WaffleHouse. They actually have great coffee, too, believe it or not......

In our town we had a I Hop movie house bought them out! We had a Perkins they closed. We have no chain breakfast places. We do have family restaurants and Bella cafe and other places that offer breakfast! Panera Bread and we also have small business local offerings. McDonalds of course.

Golden Corral has an awesome breakfast buffet on the weekend . The location quality varies.

I ate breakfast (grand slam) at a Denny’s in Milwaukee last month. It was unbelievably good. Especially the buttermilk pancakes. I was surprised bc I hadn’t eaten there in 10+ years.

[@mitchellberhoveren7638]

I agree! Maybe Denny"s wouldn't sponsor the video???

[@virginiaconnor8350]

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.

[@richardcramer1604]

In the late 70s & early 80s me and my friends after a night of drinking would head over to our local Denny's, when drunk the food was fantastic, not so much so when sober, LOL.

[@bufford5483]

On the Canadian east coast, The Big Stop restaurant chain is a great place for an all day breakfast.

[@Dr.Pepper001]

The greatest thing about breakfast restaurants is that you don't have to do the cooking and cleanup.

[@MajorMlgNoob]

The worst thing is that they can't ever do scrambled eggs right

[@marlenalinne6100]

Dr Pepper. EXACTLY!! Cooking and having to clean up the mess aren't the way I want to start the day.

[@oldcougar65]

If you're near Jersey, go to a Jersey diner. Best quality/quanity/atmosphere. I'm not from Jersey, but I've had a lot of breakfasts at Jersey diners.

[@dumattco]

Big fan of First Watch… They have a delicious chorizo omelette dish and delicious pancakes that I get every time 🤪

[@jerrynewberry2823]

Kettle restaurants are also very good. I never eat pancakes or waffles, so I wouldn't know about them, but their hash brown variety, spot on eggs, and great sausage are my type of eating. McDs sausage Mc Muffin with egg also deserves mention. If only they had sausage gravy to pour over it!

[@johnlyndsay]

Damn, she dis the f out of Denny’s 😱

[@Equinox051256]

IHOP's prices are insanely high. Where do you live? I'll take quality over quantity any day of the week and twice on Sunday.

[@dalehall2067]

Way too expensive not that great

[@pamelawing5747]

We have a couple really nice local places, BUT this is about chains and in our area, we will pop into IHop now and then. It's a friendly place and the eggs and pancakes are good. The burger thing didn't last long. There is another chain around here called Mimi's and I like their breakfasts also.I was glad to see them mentioned. They aren't that expensive. I have never heard of many other the chains mentioned. They are regional. We are getting a Cracker Barrel this year.

[@demon-slayer68]

Just went to IHOP here in Elk Grove, CA. Been going there for years. Their prices have jumped up and their quality and selection of items has gone down. I was so ticked off, I swore I would never go there again. Unfortunate because it was my favorite.

[@johnnymad2488]

I haven't heard of half these places

[@wturner777]

Me neither, coming from a Floridian.

[@saulloya9877]

Waffle House wins gold again and it’s not surprising because most locations have seasoned vets running the kitchen and you get to witness it first hand! Hats off to Waffle House and there legendary hash browns that are to me the reason I will always go back time and time again!!

[@iampoe824]

Best in middle of the night after drinking heavily

[@winddmmy]

@@iampoe824 smothered covered peppered!

[@KOAcutter]

Thank yall from waffle house 1793 Arkansas

[@KOAcutter]

I love working for waffle house lol

[@ruthmiller5588]

Seasoned vets as in doctors who take care of animals? The last time I ate at Waffle House, we all had to run to the car to find a place with a decent restroom. That's how quick the shit hit the fan after we ate. NEVR will we ever return to Aweful Waffle.

[@stevencaldwell838]

I was out in Tennessee last January on a fishing trip and tried out a Huddle House… Great breakfast 🍳

[@tiffanyi5645]

This list tells me that it’s too bad I don’t live down south lol ... I’m in NYC though so there’s definitely plenty options...but I now know where to go when I visit my family in Florida 🤗

[@mdf3530]

Uh, have you been in a Waffle House? I felt like I needed a shower.

[@kenketrickfreeman3]

Lol....

[@GeraldM_inNC]

Atmosphere is the lowest!

[@Hurricaneintheroom]

Did you know that pancakes from the Colonial times were more like crepes and not the fluffy pancakes we have nowadays? It looked yummy frying in a pan to the rum cream. They would fry, add splash of rum cream, then roll.

[@rsmart7034]

Left California last month...happy to find a BBD 2miles from my house in Tulsa, OK

[@mrpopbop]

4:41 I always dreamed of waking up to a huge breakfast and everyone just happy asf shit made me smile 😂
