Best Breakfast in Iowa

[cyclonpediaJoe]

Was supposed to go to Chicago for a Dirty Heads concert and watch the TT game in Wrigleyville this weekend, but circumstances have nixed those plans. Still taking Friday off, want to make the best of a day off, and am wondering where the best breakfast spot is in Iowa? My personal favorite is The Hitchin Post in Bevington, but looking to do something different.

Wow strange. I was supposed to go to that concert and had to back out also. I always like Drake Diner. Pretty good breakfast but expensive.

Just buy a casey's breakfast pizzas and go full blown fat kid. Personal fave of mine.

I'm gonna get crucified for this but...Hamburg Inn.

 

[NWICY]

Tip Top lounge for beer and chili then catch the game. Haven't done that since the 90's.

The Waveland Cafe

My suggestion also involves a visit to our friends out east, but the Bluebird Diner in Iowa City makes a mean breakfast.

Drake Diner.

Some NE IA recs:

The South Side in Cresco.

T-Bock's, and The Haymarket. Both in Decorah.

Klunder's in New Hampton.

I will also give a shoutout to Tommy’s in Davenport. They have in-house made donuts that you can get as an appetizer.

Believe it or not. Maid Rite does a pretty good breakfast. Never been disappointed

La Mie, over by Roosevelt High School. Great bacon.

Longer than two hours, but what day does the bar in Prairie du chen do breakfast with Porn in the Morn?

 

[Gorm]

Biased, but restaurants in Amana. My personal favorite is the Ronneburg now that the Colony Inn is closed. Its about 10 minutes from I-80.

They will also server breakfast family style if you guys have enough folks that want to do that in your party.

Longer drive but worth it, especially this time of year - Breitbachs in Balltown

Have you been to the Grove Cafe on Main St in Ames? They have delicious GIANT pancakes. It definitely has a small town whole-in-the-wall feel to it. One of my all time favorites.

I've never understood why the Grove Cafe doesn't get more play around here.
