127 S Illinois St (btw Maryland St. & Georgia St.), Indianapolis, IN
Steakhouse · Downtown Indianapolis · 197 tips and reviews
Jake Smith: The 12 oz. Filet was magnificent, but my favorite parts were my waiter (incredibly helpful and knowledgeable), the mashed potatoes (rich and decadent), and the tomato juice (weird but fitting).
Jake Smith: The BBQ Bowler is the best item on the breakfast menu. Pro Tip: You can substitute breakfast potatoes for the mixed greens. I recommend you do that.
112 State St (btwn Chatham Row & Merchant's Row), Boston, MA
Sandwich Spot · Financial District · 63 tips and reviews
Jake Smith: The chicken salad is the best, but if you are looking for something different, try the Lady Cafe Special. Either way, get a large and save some for later.
2900 W Belmont Ave (at Francisco Ave), Chicago, IL
Burger Joint · Northwest Side · 417 tips and reviews
Jake Smith: Not only did they name a burger after the greatest band of all-time, its toppings are exactly what I love on a burger (pulled pork, bacon, cheddar, pickles). Order a Led Zeppelin and a grape soda.
Cheri: You will be asked a trick question when picking a side dish: cream of wheat or fruit salad. You will pick cream of wheat. Everything after that will be amazing but I most enjoy the french toast
Jake Smith: The frosting, the cake, the atmosphere. This is everything I'd want in a bakery. The rumors about the tastiness of the half-moons have NOT been exaggerated. Get one.
Jake Smith: They grill their breakfast sandwiches on the flat grill, giving it a grilled-cheese-esque flavor and consistency. All this really means is that the sausage, egg, and cheese is magic.
Jake Smith: Without any added hyperbole, the Bronx Bagel sandwich with Provolone on a Rosemary and Salt Bagel was the best breakfast sandwich I have ever had.
American Restaurant · West End · 120 tips and reviews
Jake Smith: The Whitefish Sandwich is awesome (although I have to suggest you omit the tomato) and the deconstructed smashed potatoes were a delectable side dish. Also: make sure you try the homemade ketchup.
Jake Smith: Although it seems wrong to not order the Z-Man, the Carolina Pulled Pork is close to perfect (FYI: I got both). Toasted bun, hunks of tender meat, great flavor. Grab a gallon of sauce on your way out.
1632 Sansom St (btwn S 16th & 17th St), Philadelphia, PA
Donut Shop · Center City West · 167 tips and reviews
Jake Smith: The chicken comes with a hot fresh donut (I went with the honey ginger, which was excellent). Grab a window seat if you can to enjoy both your chicken and donut.
663 Washington Ave (at St Marks Ave), Brooklyn, NY
Taco Restaurant · Prospect Heights · 71 tips and reviews
Jake Smith: The Carne Enchilada Quesadilla was one of the best Mexican meals I've ever had. Grilled to perfection, all the flavors harmoniously mix together. It is also reasonably priced.
Breakfast Spot · Rosemont-La Petite-Patrie · 56 tips and reviews
Jake Smith: The pulled pork (meat or veggie!) is done truly right. No need for sauce, as the meat is tender and topped with peppers and an amazing chipotle mayo spread.
New American Restaurant · Downtown Portland · 32 tips and reviews
Jake Smith: If available, DO NOT MISS the pork sausage/soft pretzel appetizer. It was so delicious, I nearly ordered another on the spot. The Hanger Steak is a fantastic choice for an entree.
219 Elm St (btwn Bowers & Russell), Somerville, MA
Mexican Restaurant · Davis Square · 135 tips and reviews
Jake Smith: The Chicken Milanesa Torta was exquisite. The Garlic Mayo mixed with the avocado on top just brought out the crisp chicken crunch. I highly recommend it if you're here for brunch.
American Restaurant · North Capitol Hill · 322 tips and reviews
Jake Smith: Steuben's is a great brunch option; the pancakes are huge and fluffy, so make sure you ask for extra syrup. The sausage and gravy side is absolutely worth it to try. Best breakfast in Denver.
Mexican Restaurant · Arlington Center · 7 tips and reviews
Jake Smith: The Milanesa Torta is deliciously savory, with just enough of each ingredient, including a perfectly breaded chicken cutlet. Order one now!
Jake Smith: No real way to go wrong here if you're ordering pancakes. I recommend the gingerbread flavor with the maple spread. Maple latte is also a nice choice.
613 Royal St (btwn Toulouse & St. Peter St.), New Orleans, LA
Breakfast Spot · French Quarter · 218 tips and reviews
Jake Smith: Jambalaya and a Benedict bar during a jazz brunch is excellent. Try the biscuits, gravy and rice, while saving room for the many dessert options.
116 East Garfield Street (at N 1st St), Phoenix, AZ
Breakfast Spot · Downtown Phoenix · 253 tips and reviews
Jake Smith: Very simple, uncluttered menu, because everything they do here is great. I was thrilled with my waffle and bacon strips; I'm sure you won't be disappointed with whatever you order.
Jake Smith: The ice cream is great, the curly fries are delicious, and the best fried clam strips you'll get on the cape. Pro tip: vinegar and hot sauce is located near the entrance to the ordering counter.
Jake Smith: No place to sit? Keep walking, the seating area in this place is humongous. Get some fried seafood and a couple of blonde ales, top it off with mini golf and ice cream.
