8 Best Breakfast Restaurants near Oak Ridge

“We went to First Watch for breakfast for the first time last week and had a great experience. Even though it was very crowded, we were able to sit right away at the bar. The service was amazing from start to finish. I ordered the breakfast tacos and mimosas—can’t really go wrong with that combo. The inside of the restaurant is beautifully decorated, and despite being jam-packed, everything still felt welcoming and well-run. We’ll definitely be back!“

“The evening/ night crew on the weekends are the BEST! I went tonight ( Friday) around 5:30pm. Fast service and fast delivery of my order. Very clean and very hood food. My waitress was very friendly. and the cook was very clean and very fast with what he did. I left all three employees that were working a hood tip. It’s Christmas time and that’s what everyone should be doing this time of year. Giving . I HIGHLY RECOMMEND the OAK RIDGE Waffle House! Especially the evening and night crew!❤️“

“The server and the cook, Jaylin and Xavier respectively, excelled during my dine-in experience here. I felt welcomed when I walked in and fully satisfied when I departed. My double BLT was perfectly assembled, and my bacon was crispy crispy. My onion rings were crunchy on the outside, yet soft on the inside. Definitely a top-tier late night eatery.“

“Several of us went there for breakfast and everyone had very nice sized portions and food was great!“

“We have brunch frequently at the Turkey Creek location - we love the food and service!! We especially enjoy our breakfast dining when Katlyn is our server ( we go out of our way to ask for her!! ) She is always upbeat and adds to the already great experience at this location. She makes our visits SPECIAL!!!“

“Fast courteous service. Everyone got a tip💰😊“

“I ordered the vegetable omelette with the diced potatoes and pancakes. Everything was terrific. The only thing that was left out of the order were eating utensils and napkins, other than that the food was great. First time eating here and I was very satisfied.“

“Everything about breakfast was just fine. Unfortunately this franchise owner thinks they're better than I hop themselves and instead of the $6 meal which is a reason we went to IHOP because we normally don't get a chance to go during the week, this franchise owner takes it upon himself to charge $7 against IHOP advertisement on TV that I just saw during the University of Tennessee baseball game. I think that franchise or not they should have to follow the rules of the main company, otherwise he's making a dollar more off the customers coming into his store compared to what the advertisement says.“
