Whether your go-to order is a piece of pie, a stack of pancakes, a plate of eggs, or just a bottomless cup of coffee, there's something wonderfully comforting about settling into a booth or perching on a stool at a formica countertop.

We round up some of the best, based on user reviews, awards and accolades, and the first-hand experience of our team.
