Getting a real country breakfast at a small local diner is one of the most satisfying meals you can get—the combination of protein, fat and carbs from ingredients like eggs, sausage, ham, pancakes, and much more is so filling you won’t even think of lunch. Many chain restaurants have beautifully cooked giant breakfasts you don’t need to be a farmhand to appreciate. Here are seven chains where the breakfasts are so big you will feel full all day.
Perkins
Perkins Restaurant & Bakery
The Country Fried Steak & Eggs plate at Perkins is gigantic: Each order consists of lightly breaded steak topped with country-style cream gravy, served with two eggs, crispy hash browns or breakfast potatoes and choice of three buttermilk pancakes, fresh baked Mammoth Muffin® or buttered toast. “There’s breakfast, and then there’s breakfast at Perkins! Our Country Fried Steak & Eggs with lightly breaded steak topped with our country-style cream gravy is the perfect way to start your day,” the chain says. They’re not kidding.
Waffle House

Waffle House offers a hearty Country Ham & Eggs Breakfast, which is made with one slice of country ham, two scrambled eggs with toast & jelly, and the choice of grits, hashbrowns or sliced tomatoes. That’s a big breakfast! “Another good country ham breakfast at the Waffle House in Springville with our waitress Amanda. Like I’ve said before, there are only 2 places in St. Clair county to get country ham. (Waffle House and Cracker Barrel),” one diner said.
