Moon Rise Cafe has the best food I have found in a long time. It is well prepared and the portions are unmatched anywhere! Chris and her staff are always pleasant and friendly and go out of their way to make you feel welcome!

The Old Milwaukee Cafe serves up huge portions of the freshest, tastiest breakfast food that my husband and I have found anywhere in the Sound Sound and maybe anywhere! Even the oatmeal is worth a special trip! The bacon is thick cut and fried to perfection. Fresh eggs are served to order and never overcooked. The sausage is slighty spicy and moist. Unless you are a very hearty eater, ask for the half portion!

Old Milwaukee Cafe is hands down the BEST breakfast around!! Huge portions at fair prices. Pat & Chad (owners) are warm & loving & care about the food they make & their customers! This sums it up....BACON PANCAKES!! Uh oh...now I have to go get some!
My last selling point on this great little gem....they do a lot for our community. They are huge supporters of other local small business & they are continuously giving back to local nonprofits!!

Kelly's in Gig Harbor. They have the best breakfast in town!! Friendly service, great coffee(Cutter's Point of course), and good food. They have the traditional omelets and then some that are a little more creative. Also great for lunch as well. Often try other places but they don't measure up to Kelly's!!!

Best Breakfast hands down goes to THE BOXCAR GRILL at the Freighthouse Square!
I had the Corned Beef Hash &eggs. Real Corned Beef folks, real corned beef. The dish had bell peppers & red onions with their homemade hash browns. It doesnt get ANY better then this!! REAL CORNED BEEF!!

The Boxcar Grill, the boxcar grill.
I had the biscuits & gravy. It is served with hashbrowns & 2 eggs, the portion is good sized & the gravy is excellent. The biscuits are made daily, as is the gravy, & you can taste the difference. This is not some run of the mill country gravy, it is sausage gravy with sausage in every bite. Yummy!! :)

Breakfast pizza at The Hub rocks!
J said on Feb. 25, 2012 at 10:59am
Seriously, you people need to try Affairs' Breakfasts. The corned beef there is cooked in-house. There is no better corned beef in town. Also, Huckleberry pancakes with Huckleberries picked fresh from the Olympics... wowwwwwwwww
Too many people sleepin' on this one.
AFFAIRS!

If you havent been down to the freighthouse & tried out the boxcar grill you are missin out! They have the most amazing raspberry jam (homemade) & it goes wonderful with their homemade biscuits. I have never had biscuits like these & best of all they are square. :) All of their breakfasts that I have tried have been wonderful. The servie is great as well. Try these guys out, you wont be sorry.

The Original Pancake House in Puyallup is the best unknown breakfast restaurant in the South Sound. Their pancakes are unlike any I've ever tasted. They melt in your mouth.
