My favorite is "Echo" in Cincinnati, opened in 1945.

http://www.echo-hydepark.com/

This is probably my favorite:

Glier’s German Greats
2 eggs, goetta, potato cakes, baked apples & toast

though this is pretty funny ...

A Hot Mess
Layers of home fries, scrambled eggs, bacon & sausage, smothered in sausage gravy and cheese, with your choice of toast

Surely some paces for a nice Mexican breakfast then? Mmmm... huevos rancheros.....

If you're ever in St. Louis and want real Diners I can talk about my favorite...


The Courtesy Drive in (The Original location on Kingshighway)




Order a "Slinger" which consists of two hamburgers topped with hashbrowns, two eggs over easy, chili, cheese and onions.




There is also the Eat Rite just south of downtown-



And the "Buttery" on South Grand Ave.


Review here: http://stldinerreview.blogspot.com/2...x-buttery.html


I've spent considerable time at each of these and while the Courtesy is my favorite, you really can't go wrong at any of the three.

Now I'm hungry.

I don't mind IHOP. Never had their 'cakes but do like their crepes. Friend insists on going there for dinner because of the 'senior' discount.

Love Denny's for breakfast. We don't have one in lower Westchester County and in fact, don't think we have one in any of Westchester County or Putnam or Rockland Counties either.

DH and I go to the one outside of Ottawa when he still lived there. Was the one place in 1998 that allowed those of us who were without heat, lights or hot water a warm lite place to linger (if you were lucky enough to get there that is) after the infamous Ice Storm of 1998.

Love that idea - I suffer from a terrible affliction where I must read every item on the menu before making my careful selection - if my selection is then not available I have to re-read while hubby shakes his head and mumbles something about having no back-up plan.

Grocery shopping is equally painful as I study the different levels of quiltieness in the loo roll section and then do mathematical equations to work out whether 16 jumbo rolls are better value than 48 big rolls or whether I should buy mega rolls but forego Ultra Strong in favour of Ultra Soft.

Decisions decisions...

Ultra Strong is better than Ultra Soft - both my DH and I agreed on this and we never normally agree on loo roll brands, lol. I think the mega rolls pack worked out better in our store.

Sounds like our shopping styles would get on well together!

We have a good one that is in Jackson. For years I thought it was called Melon fays No idea what that meant. Then I went to eat there and discovered it's Mel and Fayes
It used to be a run down shack looking building then the city moved them so they could put in new traffic lights. Pretty tasty too if you like a Moo burger.

A new one opened a few minutes from us, and so far we have enjoyed the food, better than dennys or IHOP anyday Eddies grill

Edited my spelling
