46 Best Breakfast Restaurants near Elizabeth

“What a gem this hole in the wall is! It’s a Mexican spot with a wide variety of options from breakfast to dinner. I got red chilaquiles and they were delicious, rest of the group was very happy with their food! Would came back, and highly recommend!“

“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.“

“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 had the pleasure of dining at Estime Cafe today, it was an outstanding experience! From the moment we walked in, the customer service was phenomenal, warm, attentive, and truly welcoming. This is the first Haitian restaurant I’ve visited that delivered such impeccable service, and it made all the difference. The atmosphere was inviting, and the food was authentic, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every dish was prepared with care, bringing out the rich, bold flavors of Haitian cuisine. Whether you’re a longtime fan of Haitian food or trying it for the first time, this place is a must-visit. I highly recommend for anyone looking for a fantastic meal and a top-tier dining experience. My husband and I will definitely be returning!“

“Had breakfast here early on a Saturday with a friend. Food was good for sure. However, EVERY person working at this restaurant attended to us. We had a hard time finishing one sentence of our conversation without being asked how things were or if we wanted more coffee. I'm serious, no fewer than 6 people visited our table. Our waitress, Marissa, was personable and helpful; she was taking care of us very well. The 1-star for atmosphere was because the OWNER came to our table and asked if we wanted more coffee. I declined, but my friend accepted. I swear she did this just to make him go away as Marissa had offered us coffee moments before and she'd declined. THEN WE OVERHEAR the manager giving Marissa a hard time because we ACCEPTED COFFEE. His assumption was that she had not been attending to us instead of understanding that women know that the male ego has a hard time with the word NO. Not only should management not be giving a good waitress a hard time, they certainly should not do it where customers can hear. Gross!“

“The question is, was this place good enough for me to be a repeat customer? And the answer is an astounding YES!! For me this place is a vibe, though it's small in size. It's big in ambiance. Each person I encountered was as pleasant as the next. We shared the Philly cheesesteak egg rolls. Delicious is all I can say. Also the cheese burger and the French toast sandwich is also a must try. This place is a definitely a place to go??

Parking: The lot is rather small. It seems that on street parking is available.“

“I love this place to enjoy a good brunch and a French press coffee.
This place is usually busy; I suggest registering for the online waiting list. (Waiting time: 20-30 min approx.) The service is fast, the place is very warm, clean and the dishes are very well presented.“

“great“

“She was a friendly, attentive and caring. Would recommend her as a waitress and this IHOP location anytime“

“Excellent.. Axel, Arelean Nicole all the waiters, waitresses, cooks, incredible staff.. it's like Cheers.. great friendly place great food.. great way to start the day.“

“What a great and convenient place to have lunch or breakfast. I truly enjoy the sandwiches and soups. My favorite is beef barley on Tuesdays. Chicken noodle fills the bill any day with different pastas to satisfy your palate. Friendly service and just a great place to eat. Come and enjoy your meal, it will truly be worth it.!!!“

“This is a great little café/diner right next to the Westfield train station. We are fairly new to Westfield and went there for the first time a couple of weeks ago. We were wowed by the wonderful customer service of our waitress, Cindy. She was very attentive, provided great order suggestions and also brought over their delicious housemade hot sauce to go along with our eggs. All the food we ordered was wonderful, including the short stack of chocolate chip pancakes, the egg and cheese sandwich on a hard roll, and the Florentine omelette. The chef (maybe owner?), Ash even stopped by later on towards the end of our meal to check on how everything was. We meant to write this review right after that, but then never got around to it and when we went back today a few weeks later, we realized how much we needed to write this up! This time Kirsten and Cindy both helped us out, and Cindy remembered us by our orders from the last time even though we had only been here one time- very impressive and shows a great attention to detail and customer service. Ash came by also, and it was clear he remembered us as well. The food was fresh and tasty yet again (we got the French toast, egg and cheese sandwich, and Greek omelette this time) and the prices are great. This place is a gem and is definitely becoming one of our go-to spots!“

“El desayuno salvadoreño estuvo delicioso y fresco. La atención fue muy buena. Recomiendo este lugar!!! The food is so delicious and the service was amazing 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼“

“salmon cake platter with grits was great!“

“Delicious bagels! Soft, easy to bite into without all the innards going everywhere. Slightly doughy, but only in the best way. Chorizo was flavorful, eggs were fresh, and I can’t wait to go back for another bagel. Avoid the hoagie rolls, but get a dozen everything bagels.“

“I eat their tasty hamburgers all the time. Friendly people. Very clean. Close to where I live. Very convenient location for me.“

“Came across this restaurant as I was searching for Black owned eateries in this new neighborhood we just moved to. When we arrived, the exterior was a little off putting, LOL! So glad Shaun himself stepped out as well as a gentleman who came to pick up his order. We got to ask his opinion of the food. He told us this was his 7th time back so we thought, Let’s give it a try! $58 later, we got 3 meals and WOW! Delicious!!! Everything was so GOOD! Catfish, Yams, Mac n Cheese (and I am VERY picky about Mac n cheese), Honey Garlic Salmon, BBQ wings, rice and gravy and that cornbread!!!! Definitely coming back! I hope this review helps another skeptic not miss out on a GREAT SPOT!!!!! Worth the try! The portions are hearty! So glad we decided to give it a shot!!!“

“Food is great! They are the nicest and kindest kindest people ♥️🙏“

“El exquisito ceviche mixto que probé en mi vida lo conosi aquí , la sopa de mariscos rompe cualquier récord , los lomo saltados son igual que en Peru y los desayunos americanos que les encantan a mis hijos no me cabe duda que este restaurante tiene todo me encanta , es difícil encontrar un lugar que cumpla las exigencias de uno , mi admiración a los cosineros y personal del restaurante! Nunca cambien“

“Best Breakfast in the southward. Ask for the Yummy bowl (grits/cheese & beef sausage).Also please tip the cashiers, they are always pleasant.

Wheelchair accessibility: You can roll right in the front door & place your order.“

“Any place you can go where the food is really good. The service is great, they are very attentive. And everyone that is there is vibing, you can sit down in the dining room or in the front. I've been there twice in both times we're good times. Breakfast lunch or dinner...This is my spot“

“I ride by this place all the time and kept saying I was going to stop by I finally stopped by and I wasn’t disappointed the food was excellent the Floridian French toast I loved the fresh fruit , turkey sausage good and the biscuit with turkey gravy is hard to find everyone cooks it with pork so I really enjoyed it . The honey caramel crunch ice coffee and watermelon wakeup drink was so refreshing I will be back our new brunch spot ..“

“We definitely recommend A&G Luncheonette, If you are looking for a place to enjoy a delicious breakfast with your family, they have a delicious seasoning and excellent customer service, places that are no longer found in the surrounding area“

“awesome food awesome workers terrific owner“

“My friend and I had great moments at Mauricio’s Restaurant (yes, we visited it twice). The food is amazing, and the atmosphere is incredible with a lot of good people.

“They have the best cheese grits around! I've had omletes, beef sausage, home fries and lunch sandwiches. I have never been disappointed by any item on the menu. I recommend calling ahead to pick up your order. Sometimes there can be a long wait but it is definitely worth it.“

“lox w/cc on a croissant and cup of coffee for years❤ best bagels and bialys!“

“I was craving IHOP. hubby and I went there. It was packed. However, the service was still good for the number of people i saw inside. All the tables were full of people. My waitress Ashley was the best. She was very sweet and patient with our orders. I enjoyed my food. I love their dulce de leche pancakes😋😋, never disappoints. The breakfast always hits the spot, and I like their portions. I had the spinach & mushroom omelette. It was delicious. The only thing i didn't like was the strawberry lemonade. The taste has changed. There was no strawberry in the juice like it used to. Besides the juice, i was really satisfied.“

“This week Pimientos de Padrón Chipirones Vieiras Berberechos Ameixas Cada producto above and beyond. Highly recommended.“

“A very wonderful person, seller and cook. The food was not expensive but big and very well prepared. And most importantly, the attitude towards me was at a high level and the food was served with a sincere smile, which is now a rarity. I recommend to everyone“

“If you’re looking for a deli to get the best quality and most consistent food, look no further. I would put this deli up against any deli in the area, and I’ve tried them all. I’m very specific with modifications on my egg sandwiches, and they make it perfect every time. These ladies are just so amazing! 🥰“

“Our waitress was very attentive and friendly. The food was great! The price was very reasonable.“

“My experience at IHOP was mixed. My server was kind. My waiter was polite but not very attentive. I had to go through 3 sets of silverware to find a fork that didn't have eggs caked up on it from the dishwasher heat (see pics).

The banana Foster meal was what I loved most and to be expected. Even the free short stack :-).

Overall, I would come again but expectations would be higher. Not gonna lower the bar on you guys. Surely you can do better, above and beyond.“

“Great breakfast and healthy smoothies. A little pricey but still great“
