Start your day with a good breakfast and a smile.
Breakfast, said to be the most important meal of the day, can be fun. We have the well known Bob Evans, Perkins and Denny's BUT we also have some uniquely special places that offer delicious food and great atmosphere.
Residents have known about these special places for years and now tourists and snow birds have discovered these hideaways that specialize in breakfast and lunch.
Munch's Sundries and Restaurant is located at 3920 6th Street South in St. Pete. Munch's has a tradition of serving old fashioned delicious comfort food. The décor is eclectic and includes quirky sayings on the wall as well as pictures of St. Petersburg in days gone by. You can sit in a booth, at a table, or dine at the counter. In addition to the tried and true breakfast and lunch specials, they offer a couple of items unique to them including the Philly Cheese Steak Omelet and the Gulfport S.O.S made up of cheddar cheese, grits, shaved ham over toast with 2 eggs. If you see your name written on the day board at the entrance, you eat free.
My personal favorite place to eat breakfast is at the SeaSide Grille on Pass-A-Grille. This concession stand if more like a café. Just a few feet from the Gulf of Mexico it serves a wide variety of breakfast items including the SeaSide Slam. It includes 2 eggs prepared as you like, 2 pieces of bacon or sausage, home fries, and 2 pancakes or toast.
It is fantastic to sit at a picnic table and dine on a scrumptious breakfast as the Gulf splashes against the shore. The long lines (they move quickly) are evidence of the SeaSide Grille's popularity. They also serve lunch and a variety of ice cream bars, chips and snacks.
This weekend I ate breakfast at Lenny's located at 21220 U.S. 19 N, in Clearwater just a short distance from Bright House Networks Field where the Phillies hold Spring Training. It was packed with Phillie fans. Balloon Man Mark was making creations for all the children. The place and the décor was fun. Lenny's is known for their "bowl of Danish." It consists of an assortment of 5 tiny, very tasty pastries and is included when you order an omelet or most other breakfast special otherwise it is a nominal $2.25. The menu is extensive and the food delicious. The customer service and attitude at Lenny's are a perfect start to any day. They say attitudes are contagious, certainly the ones at Lenny's are worth catching.
Start your day with a good breakfast and a smile. Things to do, restaurants
