Bottega Louie — Los Angeles
Recommended Dish: Lobster Hash
Go to: Bottega Louie
Magnolia Pancake Haus — San Antonio
Magnolia Pancake Haus Chef-Owner Robert Fleming is "raising the bar on breakfast" with the restaurant's high-quality, made-from-scratch morning meals, according to Guy Fieri on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. Come for the light and airy Buttermilk Pancakes the restaurant proudly calls "The World's Best," and stay for the deliciously unique Pfannekuchen, Bavarian puffed pancakes packed full of Granny Smith apples, zesty cinnamon and secret spices. For a savory spin on a breakfast classic, Guy recommends the "ingenious" Bacon Waffle.
Recommended Dish: Bacon Waffle
Go to: Magnolia Pancake Haus
Grampa's Bakery & Restaurant — Dania Beach, Florida
Guy visited this home-style family breakfast joint in Dania Beach and deemed the comfort food “righteous” on Triple D. He’s not the only one who likes it: The homemade pancakes draw a crowd, and not just for breakfast, but all day long. Guy dug in, calling them “really light, but texture-y.”
Recommended Dish: Blueberry Pancakes

Recommended Dish: Dungeness Crab Eggs Benedict

Hash House a Go Go — Las Vegas
Next time you're in Las Vegas, leave the overrated buffets behind in favor of hearty comfort food from Hash House a Go Go, where Rachael Ray says, "You won't find disco balls, but you will find gigantic portions." Indulge in the Fried Chicken Benedict: sage fried chicken with fresh spinach, hardwood smoked bacon, market tomatoes, griddled mozzarella, chipotle cream and scrambled eggs, all layered precariously on top of a fresh split biscuit and griddled mashed potatoes.
Recommended Dish: Fried Chicken Benedict
Go to: Hash House A Go Go
Crest Cafe — San Diego
Situated in one of San Diego's 24-hour neighborhoods, Crest Cafe serves up outrageous comfort food for both morning and night. Don't miss the ricotta French toast topped with fresh raspberries and a heap of vanilla, orange zest and honey-laced whipped cream. The plate is truly over the top, even for Guy, who stopped by for a bite on Triple D.
Recommended Dish: Raspberry Ricotta French Toast
Go to: Crest Cafe
Lankford Grocery and Market — Houston
Houstonians are known to flock to Lankford Grocery and Market for the juicy, piled-high burgers. On Triple D, Guy couldn't resist the Firehouse Burger basted with cayenne butter and loaded with hot-sauce mustard. If you're looking to kick-start your morning, Guy recommends the Texas Hash, which features roasted habanero-spiced chicken, sauteed peppers and onions, plus a rich cheese sauce spooned over crispy fried corn tortillas.
Recommended Dish: Texas Chicken Hash
Go to: Lankford Grocery and Market
Honey's Sit 'n Eat — Philadelphia
Two genres of comfort cuisine unite at this husband-and-wife-owned restaurant, where Southern classics meet Jewish flair. Guy thought the brisket Frito platter — twice-cooked brisket topped with corn chips — was "incredibly enjoyable." The chicken chili Frito pie garnered praise for its guajillo chicken, and the locals rave about the warming matzo ball soup. But for brunch, there's nothing quite like the behemoth plate of Huevos Rancheros, a medley of refried beans, salsa and shredded cheese piled onto two fresh corn tortillas, then crowned with two fried eggs and sour cream.

Go to: Honey's Sit 'n Eat
Walker Bros. The Original Pancake House — Wilmette, Illinois
This beloved Illinois franchise may be known for its fluffy buttermilk pancakes, but on The Best Thing I Ever Ate, Melissa d'Arabian took a moment to wax poetic for the restaurant's "cheesiest, meltiest and tastiest" oven-baked bacon and cheese omelet. The eatery's secret? The three eggs that go into the omelet are whipped to make the resulting product extra fluffy and moist. Best of all, the omelet comes with a stack of pancakes, so you can sample a taste of the restaurant's namesake.

Studio Diner — San Diego
Studio Diner carries breakfast round the clock — yes, it's even available for lunch and dinner. Take it from Guy, who says "everything is top-notch" here. Owner Stu Segall insists on flying in whole belly clams and lobster from Maine. For a real late-night treat, divulge in a deep-fried favorite, the Monte Cristo. But for breakfast in the morning, Guy says there's nothing quite like the Crab Cake Benedict: two blue crab cakes on two English muffins, topped with creamy poached eggs and a classic hollandaise sauce.
