I absolutely LOVE going out to eat for breakfast on the weekends. The hardest part is finding good places in the area - sad but true!
Here are 2 that I really enjoy:

I heard their advertisements on the radio for a few weeks. They have been pushing their Sunday Breakfast / Brunch Buffet. My biggest issue in trying this out was that I have NEVER been impressed with the food or service at Mackinaw's. I have tried several different dishes and just never walked away thinking, "Wow! What a great meal!".
That being said, I thought I would at least TRY their Sunday Buffet. A small group of us went around noon - it made me more than a little nervous that there were not many cars in the lot. We were seated immediately and saw the big dry-erase board as we walked in: "Sunday Buffet $10.99". We were seated and a friendly waitress greeted us and invited us to walk by the buffet to decide if that was our choice or if we were going to order from the menu.
Impressive Selections:
* Scrambled eggs, potatoes, bacon, sausage and all the typical basic items
* Breakfast enchiladas. They looked good and tasted even better!
* Omelet bar - made to order!
* Lunch items such as mashed potatoes, prime rib (carved to order), chicken and more
* Salad bar - great looking lettuce!
* Fruit Bar
I ate WAY too much, but wanted to try as many items as I could! Everything was excellent. The waitress checked on us, regularly, and the omelet chefs were very accommodating and friendly.
Some in our group mentioned that the dessert section was weak, but everyone gave the experience 2 big thumbs up! We will definitely go again and I would recommend it to all of you.
MillTown Café - East Green Bay:
803 Klaus Street (take University to Quincy, north to Klaus - can't miss it!)
This is by FAR my favorite breakfast spot in Green Bay! I go at least twice each month and love it.
The atmosphere is the stereotypical diner layout: Small and cozy - there are even the little round stools by the counter, just as you would expect. The staff is comprised of very friendly peeps and the owners are always around - usually making wise cracks with the regulars. The place is perfectly outdated, which gives it that "diner feel" and extremely clean.
The menu provides many options that would satisfy just about anyone. My two favorites are the Mexican Omelet and the Western Omelet. Both are made with fresh ingredients - and the eggs are always perfectly cooked. The coffee is hot and tastes great. Upon request, the server will bring you homemade jam for your toast. Yeah, it is awesome!
The prices are very reasonable, as expected. They even have a frequent client card you can use to get your 10th meal free. You almost feel bad even USING it with the prices being so reasonable!
They do not have a website, but stop in and check it out. If a lady wearing an apron walks out of the kitchen comes up to talk to you (that's Bonnie, the owner) tell her Todd and Robb from Shenanigan's sent you in. She will probably smile and make some remark that will make you laugh! ;)
Thanks for reading! More to come soon!
Cheers!
