ABE Named One of the 10 Best Breakfast Chains In America
There are many places to grab your morning meal, but some chains set a higher bar for quality and service than others.
Since breakfast is the most important meal of the day, it pays to invest in quality. Rather than order an omelet stuffed with enough meat to feed a pride of lions, this means seeking out breakfast restaurants that prioritize balance and quality ingredients.
Sure, there's always room for a decadent stack of pancakes or stuffed French toast now and again, but the breakfast chains that emphasize ingenuity and care are what differentiates them from "guilty pleasure" to "pleasure."
Aside from coffee-centric spots like Dunkin' and Starbucks, both of which have muscled their way into the breakfast market in recent years, and beyond popular fast-food chains that serve breakfast, like Wendy's and McDonald's, America's best breakfast chains are ones that think outside the McBox.
Whether they're regional chains or nationwide behemoths, these restaurants offer more options, more innovation, more unique menu items, and ultimately more bang for your buck—which is of the utmost importance for the most important meal of the day.
Another Broken Egg Cafe
Among the healthiest breakfast chains on the market, Another Broken Egg Cafe is yet another Southern success story. Founded in Louisiana, and now with more than 70 locations nationwide, the chain has been experiencing strong growth and record revenue of late. That's due to the brand's focus on atypical breakfast and brunch fare, serving "Southern-inspired culinary innovation" and dishes that are "chef-inspired" and hand-crafted.
This results in a "traditional" menu that feels anything but, with dishes like cinnamon roll French toast, crab cake Benedict, and health-minded fare like a shrimp Benedict with velouté sauce on grilled focaccia, and a skinny omelet stuffed with goat cheese, asparagus, roasted red peppers, and garlic. True to its Louisiana origins, this is also a chain that features some singular specialties, like Bourbon Street pancakes slathered in rum butter sauce, and a Mardi Gras omelette with Louisiana crawfish, Gulf shrimp, andouille, and red peppers.
