As I typed the previous post listing lunch recommendations, I realized that maybe I should do breakfast too. Here are a few places near the law school where you can grab something good for breakfast.
Elliott’s (Second between Madison and Monroe): My absolute top pick. Breakfast burritos, sandwiches, and bowls. I like the burrito with sausage, potatoes, and jalapenos. I forget its name. The “Tribute to Bill Saba” makes my health guru AL shudder, consisting of sausage, bacon, ham, cheese and egg on buttered Texas toast. If you eat Elliott’s breakfasts, you probably won’t be hungry when lunch rolls around. They serve breakfast until 10:30 I think.
Bardog Tavern (Monroe between Front and Main): Bardog might be even better than Elliott’s, but I don’t work Downtown anymore so I haven’t had a chance to try their breakfasts yet. I believe they also serve until 10:30.
Blue Plate Cafe (Court Square): Huge selection of breakfast items – pancakes, waffles, omelets, egg breakfasts, sausage biscuits, you name it. They serve breakfast even during lunch hours, all the way up to their 2 PM close.
