Three Las Vegas locations: The LINQ, 3535 Las Vegas Blvd S · (702) 254-4646 — West Sahara, 6800 W Sahara Ave · (702) 804-4646 — The Plaza, 1 S Main St · (702) 384-4646
Breakfast served all day, every day
Twisted Farm Food, Vegas-sized: the Sage Fried Chicken & Waffles towers, one-pound flapjacks, Tractor Driver combos and Famous Bloody Marys that eat like a meal. Portions are famously enormous, the tractors are real decor, and breakfast runs all day — this is the big-breakfast benchmark every other spot on this page gets measured against.
As seen on the Travel Channel’s Man v. Food — the Sage Fried Chicken & Waffles is the order.

Carson City has been voting this place its best breakfast for decades, and one plate explains why. Corned beef is cured in-house, the chicken fried steak is hand-dipped, and the spuds are (almost) famous. A true capital-city institution since 1980.

Since 1979, this strip-mall legend has been folding six eggs at a time into the biggest omelets in the valley — 38 to 40 of them, with house pumpkin and banana nut breads on the side. The walls are covered in Vegas memories and the breads are baked in-house. Half portions exist for a reason.

A little piece of New Orleans that’s been feeding Santa Barbara since the ’80s. The Jimenez family runs it, the jambalaya comes with eggs any style, the beignets are non-negotiable, and the coffee’s from a local roaster. Thirty years in, it’s still where the locals actually eat breakfast.
