Which of the above do you prefer?

This is for regional or national chains, not your favorite local diner or breakfast cafe; we all have one, but the poll just isn't big enough and every response will be "other".

Denny's for Bacon. Bob Evans for everything else.

IHOP serves swedish pancakes, complete with lingonberries. Nothing else can top that.

Arch: OK, we'll use grapes.
Wood: We've only lingonberries, sir.
Arch: Are they ballistically similar to grapes?
Trin: Screw your grapes..
Arch: Oh, c'mon.
Trin: .. and screw your whatever-berries. I'm outta here.

Of the restaurants listed I've only been to three...Cracker Barrel, IHOP, and Denny's. Out of those three I have to say Cracker Barrel because it's the only restaurant I've ever been to who's biscuits come close to my mom's home made biscuits.

For the record, since most people I encounter couldn't pick a lingonberry out of a lineup, lingonberries are ballistically similar to blueberries, not grapes. So, if you ever are in such a situation.. now you know.

Thanks for that...I had no idea what they were and all I could think of was dingleberries.

Lingonberries are most closely related to cranberries, though they're in the same family of plants as blueberries and some others. They're cold-weather broadleaf evergreen shrubs. Come to think of it, they might be related to holly berries, too. I should look that up.

They're very tart, much like raw blueberries and cranberries. But sweeten them up raw, or cook them down some and neutralize the acid a bit, and they are delicious.

You see them most commonly in jams or compotes, though several Northern and Eastern European cultures also juice them and make sauces to garnish meats with them.

They go by some other names depending on the region; Lingon derives from the Swedish name for the plant.

I really liked Perkins in Ohio. I miss them, especially the apricot syrup.

I voted IHOP but honestly I've only been to like 3 of those places. Not a huge breakfast person.

People with jobs which require us to be there before 7:30 if we want to excel, and whose demanding schedules demand them to a) be well fueled for their morning tasks, and b) don't know if their schedule will permit them to go to lunch until late in the afternoon.

Not to mention those of us that work all night and have breakfast either near the end of work or when we get home in the morning.

I actually really like Denny's, but I never get breakfast. I don't really like breakfast foods unless they are my mother's home cooked stuff.

Love Cracker Barrell, especially the pancakes they are the only place that uses real maple syrup instead of "breakfast syrup"

They make a good french toast. I had never had sourdough French toast before.

W"affle" House. Hands down.

The other chains in this area (IHOP, Shoney's, Cracker Barrell) are usually very nasty and have had health violations. IHOP burnt and was replaced, and it usually has roaches crawling up the wall. Shoney's was gutted because of rats, and is equally nasty. Cracker Barrell in it's first 3 months was shut down because several dozen people got food poison.

Waffle Houses here, are always clean.

I lived off them when I worked nights. Ham'n Cheese + plain hash browns.

Morning fare, eggs over easy, grits, hash browns, bacon and toast. Occasionally I'll get a waffle on the side when I'm really hungry. :D

Chick-fil-a

I like chicken for breakfast and their mini biscuits are smothered in honey and chicken

I know I am crazy, but that is the only chain breakfast I like

We usually go to a diner for breakfast because we have some crazy awesome ones around here that give you almost everything including the sink.
