When you’re in Flint, MI, you’re near some of the best breakfast places in the world. Whether you want a full-fledged breakfast restaurant or are looking for some weekend brunch places, we have a few suggestions that will fit the bill.
The Grafted Root Eatery
This is a great place for a wonderful brunch. They’re closed on Mondays and open from Tuesday through Sunday, 9 am until 3 pm. Be sure to check out their Facebook page to get updates on when they change up the menu, but you can count on great egg breakfasts, and their home fries are excellent. They offer pancakes and french toast, omelets, and more. You’ll also appreciate that they always use real maple syrup and fresh ingredients.
If you’re there around brunch time, you might want to try their amazing quiche lorraine. The root salad is also amazing with the dried cherries, and we love to treat ourselves to their nut and cheese platter, too. They have local craft beers on tap. If you enjoy those, please do so responsibly and never drink and drive.
Valley’s Breakfast Restaurant and Bistro
If you’re up with the sun, you can get breakfast here at 7 am. This place has been serving amazing (and interesting) breakfast and brunch items for more than 34 years, and they have a well-designed takeout service, so you can get anything to go and know it will be hot and delicious when you get it home.
For breakfast, they offer amazing omelets and waffles, skillets, griddles, hand-held sandwiches, and huge country classic breakfasts. Their house-made sausage gravy isn’t something you want to miss. If you’re looking for something lighter, try the avocado toast or the lite french toast nites. We love their cinnamon french toast, and the bistro cakes–pancakes with walnuts and chocolate chips inside–are local favorites.
Mel’s Diner
For that classic diner breakfast, you can’t go wrong with Mel’s. They have great food, fast and friendly service, and good prices. This is also just a nice place to hang out and spend some time. The owner will get to know you and remember what you like if you go often enough!
Be sure to try the sausage gravy and the omelets. Mel’s is also well-known in our area for its great hash. Their sausage is also outstanding, and we still haven’t been able to get them to let us in on the secret.
US Family Restaurant
It’s in the name: this is a family-friendly, family-owned place that has been serving up good, hearty food since 1976. Everything in here is made fresh every day. It’s good, honest, satisfying food.
For breakfast, we love their breakfast burrito and the sausage and egg biscuit. The crunchy french toast is a real treat when you’re ready to splurge. And do yourself a favor and try their homemade cinnamon rolls.
There’s nothing better than breakfast, and these are some of the places we go when we need some. After your meal, come see us at Randy Wise Chevrolet for great service that will keep your vehicle purring.
