Every once in awhile, I simply need a break from my standard protein shake, veggie shake or egg and fruit breakfast. When I want a break and I’m craving a good, old-fashioned breakfast, I head over to Dave and Ray’s Homecooking.

Each morning, their friendly staff serves breakfast with a smile. Walk in and select off the line: bacon, eggs or sausage; biscuits and gravy; oatmeal; grits; or potatoes and onions, or order a tasty omelet, like the veggie omelet shown here. Top it off with salsa, a side of wheat toast and an order of bacon, and you’ve spent just $9 to start your day off right.
