A Sea Of Red

We've had a thread on here about breakfast places before, but I wanted to start a new one with a twist.


Where are the best places in Lynchburg to get breakfast to-go? I know Myrt's is great, but other than that, are there any made-to-order take out places for breakfast?

Bojangles in known for their chicken, but they make a great breakfast, too. If you are talking made to order, though, there's always Waffle House to go. If you want biscuits & gravy to go, my favorite is Hardees. And Cracker Barrel will do to go orders, as well.

I was trying to stay away from fast food restaurants. Bojangles and Hardees makes great breakfast, but I'm trying to cut out the fast food.

famous anthony's...call ahead and its ready when you get there, or go and wait a min of 5 minutes max. well at least that is how it is in roanoke.

Weenie Stand.

I've never had Anthony's takeout. Their dine-in is great.

I didn't know the Weenie Stand had good breakfast. Hmm...

What's wrong with a nice bowl of cereal in the morning, Supe?

That's fine sometimes too. I'm just trying to find different places, especially since I'm going to start working more and more soon, and even more next semester. It's nice to know where things are in the area.

I'd much rather eat breakfast (well, brunch - 9/10am), a really light lunch in the afternoon, and then dinner. Some people don't like breakfast and do lunch, I'm the other way around.

IHOP is pretty good. Famous Anthony's is descent....just greasy.

You should buy some whey protein & make protein shakes for breakfast.....or cook some eggs & add a touch of organic salsa....starts your morning right, I tell ya.

Also fast food.

I imagine Koffee Kup can do to-go orders, although I'm not sure. I've always enjoyed their breakfast (and lunch).

Not to go off-topic, but did Myrts start doing dinner a while back? They seem to be open later now, although I've yet to go by there in the evening.

Yes they did. They have a new owner and they're now open until 9 pm, I believe.

Awesome. That's great to know (the new hours part at least, I already knew about the new owner). Thanks for the info, Scorch.

cider, i'm with you on this one. if i wanted cracker barrel kind-of stuff, i'd just make it myself. IMO, stuff like eggs, bacon, toast, grits etc. are the best when they are made at home. for eating out, bojangles has my vote. usually breakfast out needs to be quick anyways.

on those few occasions i actually do sit-down somewhere, it's the barrel.

I love Bo's Cinnamon Biscuits....
...used to pick up a 6-pack on the way in to work prior to the heart attack.

Fumble, please tell me that you didn't used to eat the whole thing! That's quality (& quantity) eating for a college guy, but we old folks (and SCAR) need to watch what we eat these days, so that we'll be around for a good long time.

No way...I would give 2 to my boss....occasionally.

I've rarely had bacon at home that was as good as restaurant bacon. It always curls up or has less-cooked or fatty areas. I've read that you can prevent this by putting the bacon in the freezer for a little while before cooking it, but I haven't tried it yet.

Breakfast is so much trouble to make too. With what you spend on materials, time and effort, it's almost worth it to me to eat out.

I agree.

i agree that it's easier and cheaper to eat out. i don't agree that restaurant bacon is better than home-cooked. i prefer my bacon crispy. seems like many times restaurant bacon is a little flimsy.

i agree on the fat statement though.

Just buy thick sliced bacon and cook it in a cast iron skillet. It will be better than anything you get in a restaurant.
Just never microwave bacon--that's nasty.

Thick sliced is definitely the way to go. I love Cracker Barrel's bacon for that very reason.

CRACKER BARRELL. A very good breakfast. Without a doubt there best meal.
