Jeff’s Country Cafe isn’t open 24 hours a day, but it is one of the best bets for a late-night breakfast option. You will not find an obscure form of eggs Benedict at Jeff’s, but you will find the classics and a huge omelet selection that has fun additions like gyro meat.

Sherri’s offers country cooking in a fun, colorful and kitschy environment, but it is hard to get to the dinner menu when there are excellent pancakes on the menu from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. Be sure to check out one of Sherri’s homemade cinnamon rolls.
