4 Best Breakfast Restaurants near Elizabeth

“Long review DISCLAIMER!!! I was traveling from the Carolinas to NYC and after shopping at the Linden Walmart Supercenter, I was very hungry and desired some pancakes. After scouring Google reviews for some place nearby besides Ihop to satisfy my hunger, I decided to check out Kelly's Breakfast at 159 Elmora Avenue. However, I was pressed for time on a sit down meal since I was trying to make it to Brooklyn in time to pick my Mother up from church. Well, I just happened to find myself near New Jersey this morning and wanted to still have my meal from Kelly's Breakfast. Around my morning arrival time paid street parking in front of the establishment was limited but I was able to find parking on the side street within a short walking distance. I was met with a greeting and a friendly smile as I entered and approached the counter. No, this is not a big place, but with ample seating to accommodate 2 or 4 guests at a table the vibe is inviting, warm, and relaxing! There's a TV tune to the news if you're interested! As I was dining alone I glanced to see what was the latest happenings in our world. It did not take long for my order to arrived to my table and I gave it a 10 for presentation. Also, a 10 for taste, portion size, and quality. Another 10 for CUSTOMER SERVICE OVERALL and accommodating a small request reference my phone. The prior reviews that stirred me in the direction to Kelly's Breakfast did it justice and I will continue with my 5 Stars. Kelly, who was also the hostess, is charming and checks on you to ensure everything is good. I will be back in my future travels!!!“

“Elizabeth, NJ, IHOP. The hostess didn't seem to be able to handle seven guests at one time. We were seated near the bathroom, downer. The waitress was timely in taking our orders. The food took longer than we expected; we had to leave with the food due to a scheduled event. Visited while in the area. This was not a good IHOP.“

“We recently had the pleasure of dining at IHOP for breakfast, and it was an absolutely delightful experience! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting. Our server, Daniel (AM shift), truly made our visit special. He was not only extremely personable but also attentive to our needs, ensuring that our dining experience was smooth and enjoyable.

Now, onto the food! We indulged in their famous pancakes (my husband had the Protein pancakes), which were fluffy and bursting with flavor. The syrup selection was impressive, and I couldn't resist trying a few different ones! I also ordered the classic breakfast combo, which included perfectly cooked eggs, crispy turkey bacon, and golden hash browns. Each bite was delicious, and it was evident that everything was prepared with care.

Overall, my breakfast at IHOP was a fantastic start to the day, thanks to Daniel's exceptional service and the delectable food. I highly recommend visiting this location for a satisfying meal and a friendly atmosphere!

“I’ve been eating here for almost 10 years. The food is OUT OF THIS WORLD. People use the word butter milk pancakes loosely. Theirs really taste like butter milk. Everything is good. Same chef for years. My only complaint is, They never open on time, they’ve actually been closed for a while with no notice. Shame because me and my girlfriend are from out of town and waited outside for almost 2 hours. If they correct punctuality, I would give it five out of five stars because the food is phenomenal.“
