ATLANTIC BEACH. Local rags (and locals in general) hold this Atlantic Beach in particularly high esteem when it comes to getting a good, old-fashioned breakfast ­ the hearty sort that'll stick with you until it's dinnertime, regardless of active you are over the course of the day. The special includes two eggs, toast or muffin, fruit, grits or hashbrowns, and your choice of meat; however, they also serve up delish buttermilk pancakes, blueberry pancakes, omelets, Belgian waffles, breakfast sandwiches and eggs benedict. Best of all, their most expensive breakfast ditty (steak, two eggs and pancakes) tops out at just $10!

JAX BEACH. The assortment of unbeatable sandwiches and home-style vegetables on the lunch menu has made this a popular place for a satisfying lunch.
