A Sea Of Red

I know we've had others but I haven't seen this one. Where's the best place in the Burg to get breakfast. I'm not talking fast food, I'm talking sit down and eat, and it'd be great if they served it all day (I love breakfast for dinner). Price is a big issue too.

GOLDEN CORRAL!!!!

International House of Pancakes or even Cracker Barrel has some good stuff.

Crackel Barrel's a good one I completely forgot about.


As for IHOP and Waffle House and those, they're only good at 3 in the morning.

IHOP is great if you want to sit in a booth for an hour and watch the waitstaff chat with each other.

IHOP is SOOOOOO over rated. I mean it is SUPPOSED to be a pancake house yet their pancakes are about the size of their fried eggs.... A shame I tell ya a shame.

CRAKER BARREL is by far the best. Here is the best thing to order (It is not on the menu, but you can ask for it.) It is the Grandma's Sampler : 3 pancakes 2 (or 3) eggs, Hash brown casserole, fried apples, bacon, sausage AND ham (country or sugar) They run it as a special witha fruit topping and call it something else. Just ask your wait person for the Sunrise Sampler but with Pancakes instead of biscuits. And if you are REALLY nice, if you just order it as the Grandma, you can get the person to bring you out the biscuits and gravy too.

WAFFLE HOuSE is always a staple but I find it a little more pricier then CB

Bob Evans should be taken out and shot

Golden Corral is nice.

SHONEYS had a good breakfast buffet but since we don't have one

Myrts has nice inexpensive bfast and pretty good bacon too

For true fat try the McGriddle

I've seen Haize--and Haize knows food!

We studied this closely one year as my entire dorm went out to breakfast to skip assesment tests and we wanted the best bang for the buck. Cracker Barrel is every bit as good as IHOP if not better and way cheaper. IHOP is so overpriced it's not even funny. Don't listen to PH he doesn't know what he's talking about. Bob Evans is probably my favorite breakfast food place and they have decent prices but to tell you the truth, I don't even know if they're open for breakfast. I just know that they serve it at lunch and dinner.

Bob Evans = Yankee Cracker Barrel.

No one mentioned some smaller places with " mom and pop " cooking that are pretty cheap. Carol's Place in Forest used to be a regular sunday morning breakfast for me and it was cheap and good during college. Also over on Lakeside i believe its country cookin?, sure you eat with rednecks, but i love some down home cheap cookin.

country cookin is gooooood. But hard to get in to. It's packed all the time and there's no place to wait for a table. And if you don't know what you're doing because you haven't been there before, someone is likely to steal the next open table from you.

All I can say about Bob Evans is hollendaise sauce = $!

Carols on 221. Good local Breakfast Location.

Just a good local place that is fast and cheep.

The local places are generally the best ones.

myrt's, carol's in forest, and this place on the far end of timberlake rd. which is a dive, but good food. near the interchange to 460 to roanoke near the old lake.

Bob Evans has outstanding blueberry pancakes. And yes, IHOP is overpriced with mediocre at best food.

i second bob evans....love the omelettes.

That would be the Coffee Kup. A real good joint!!!

Koffee Kup is good stuff.

Lynchburg needs a Denny's. I know they have lots of problems, but you get so much food for the price. The only time we ever really got to go to one was on the way back from hockey games in Roanoke. That place needed to get a hockey schedule, because they always got slammed after the games at about 1 in the morning.

I don't know if you can include Myrts on the list because it's definitely fast food.

sure you can include myrts, b/c you can sit down to eat. i went by the koffee kup sunday before church.....good stuff.

The restaurant on Lakeside is called the Country Kitchen. Country Cookin' is a franchise chain with a location on Timberlake
Road near Big Lots.

I'm a fan of the Koffee Kup myself, although I never could figure out why they spell it with the letter K.

Myrts is a favorite in general as well (not just for breakfast).

"K" stands out-I like it (even though the spelling is WRONG )

It also probably helped with trademark issues.

Actually you can get a cheap, decent breakfast at the downtown Saturday market. Ate a good, satisfying breakfast there just a week or so ago for around $5.
