Fast Food Breakfast Restaurants

• Eating breakfast on the run is a common necessity for many people, and for some, without the ease and affordability of fast food restaurants, breakfast would not be an option. Most fast food restaurants, such as McDonald's, Chick-fil-A, and Burger King offer breakfast menus or options such as sausage, chicken, ham, bacon or egg breakfast sandwiches, hotcakes, French toast, fruit and yogurt parfaits, cinnamon rolls, biscuits and omelet sandwiches. Cafe restaurants that primarily specialize in coffee, such as Starbucks, have begun offering breakfast options, such as hot egg and cheese sandwiches, bagels, muffins, doughnuts, fruit and oatmeal. Other popular on-the-run breakfast restaurants that have a wide array of coffee, juices, bagels, muffins, doughnuts and other breakfast items include Panera, Einstein Bagels and Dunkin Donuts.

Pancake Houses

• Pancake houses usually offer breakfast foods all day. These restaurants offer various types of omelets, breakfast meat items such as sausage, bacon, beef hash, several types of pancakes, crepes, waffles and hot and cold cereals, along with coffee, juice and fruits. Some popular pancake houses include IHOP and The Original Pancake House.

Restaurants with Breakfast & Brunch Menus

• Although it may not be their specialty, many local and chain restaurants serve breakfast or brunch offerings during certain times of the morning and on the weekends. These breakfast items are hearty, fancy and slightly more expensive than the typical breakfast restaurants. Many restaurants that offer brunch or a limited time breakfast service serve foods such as buffet breakfast items, champagne, fresh pastries, a variety of omelets and fresh fruits. Some popular national restaurants that offer breakfast menus at limited times include Subway, Old Country Buffet and The Golden Corral.
