You’ve almost certainly heard the saying “breakfast is the most important meal of the day” before. Not only that, but many would argue breakfast foods are in fact the most tasty of all meals.
The problem is, waking up early and preparing your own breakfast can feel like a monumental task at times, especially on weekend mornings when you’d rather just sleep in. And as hard as you may try, you often can’t get your home-made breakfast to be quite as tasty as what you might get from a diner.
If you’re looking for some great breakfast food and struggling to make it yourself, here are five great breakfast options that can be found around Jacksonville.
Where: 3302 Hendricks Ave. (San Marco), 12807 San Jose Blvd. (Mandarin), 9802 Baymeadows Rd. (Southside/Deerwood), 4495 Roosevelt Blvd. (Ortega), 1534 N. 3rd St. (Jax Beach)
When: 6:30am-2:30pm daily, some locations now open for dinner
Metro Diner has been the king of breakfast places in Jacksonville for years. Their original location opened in 1992, and in recent years the brand has expanded to five Jacksonville locations, plus locations in Orange Park, St. Augustine, and soon Ponte Vedra Beach. The brand is even expanding into new states, with spots in Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Indiana under development. Pretty much the only complaint you’ll hear from locals about Metro Diner is having to wait in line for a table — even after adding new locations, the restaurants are routinely packed during peak breakfast and lunch hours.

It’s not hard to understand why Metro is such a big deal. Name a breakfast food, and chances are Metro Diner not only does it, but does it well. At the locations that are now open for dinner (San Marco & Mandarin), breakfast is served all day, making it one of the few locally-based options for breakfast at dinner time. (But not the only one — we’ll get to that in a minute.)
