8 Tasty Way to Start Your Day

we do breakfast, and we do it well. We pride ourselves on mornings filled with everything from grits and bacon to biscuits and gravy to much more. If we had it our way, we’d have time to roll out of bed and whip up all for our pick of sunrise sammies like the Popeye’s Rise N’ Shiner stuffed with all the musts: fried egg, bacon, spinach, and smoked Gouda. is a hot ticket in Atlanta for those days when you need the classics. Deciding between piled-high buttermilk pancakes and fresh-from-the-oven biscuits and gravy won’t be easy but will be worth it. In the Crescent City, the menu at packs a punch with grab-and-go items like the spicy fried chicken biscuit or the cheesy breakfast burrito. Over in the Magnolia State, and have hearty breakfast dishes to feed the Southern soul. At Fill-Up with Billups, the choices seem endless, but we’re suckers for their large-and-in-charge cathead biscuits with your choice of tasty toppings. Speaking of toppings, Abe’s Grill has been serving its famous chocolate gravy for over 40 years, and it’s only gotten better with time. Drizzle it over a batch of warm biscuits and enjoy. Biscuits are the star of the show over at in Virginia. Take it from us, you’ll be spoiled for choice when you pop in any day of the week. When you want it all on one plate, be sure to make your way over to in West Virginia. The breakfast menu may seem small—only two options, The Kacey or The Travis—but that’s all you need. Wrapping things up is in Arkansas. Their unique underground dining room is just off Main Street in downtown Eureka Springs, and the award-winning lineup of breakfast favorites is served all day long. Nothing can ever compare to a home-cooked meal in the morning, but you can find the next best thing at any of these can’t-miss restaurants. Did your favorite make the cut?
