Inexpensive, home-style cooking with West Coast flavor.

by Joanna Currier

In Short
Breakfast lovers favor this family-style franchise for its hearty, all-day menu of pancakes, omelets and scrambles. Hash browns are gussied up with California ingredients such as chicken-apple sausage or salsa fresca. Savory options such as gooey huevos rancheros are served with large hunks of blueberry coffee cake. More classic fare includes burgers, sandwiches, quesadillas, pasta, and a list of hearty chicken and salmon entrees.
