Best Brunch Spots to Take Your Mom in Every State

The restaurant that calls itself Lunch.Supper! is actually two places, side-by-side, each specializing in a different meal. Early this year, the proprietors opened this third establishment, about a mile from the first two. The menu seems to go on forever, encompassing a breakfast charcuterie plate, assorted salads, four different Benedicts (one with a smoked salmon cake, another with pepper-crusted pork loin), omelettes, pancakes and waffles, brunch bowls, sandwiches, and full-scale meals like chicken and waffles and steak and eggs.

Specializing in “coastal seafood in Seattle,” Shaker and Spear adds unusual brunch fare (salt cod beignets, smoked trout rillettes, steamed clams with fennel sausage) to more expected choices like blueberry lemon ricotta pancakes, mushroom and herb omelette, and Dungeness crab cake Benedict.

Brick and wood define the dining room at this restaurant in Morgantown, near the Pennsylvania border. Mother’s Day brunch is buffet-style here. Fried green tomato Benedict with bacon jam, wild mushroom lasagna, shrimp with roasted vegetable couscous, and strawberry shortcake are among the dishes promised.

Lobster scramble, maple lamb sausage with herb French toast, huevos rancheros, and both a classic eggs Benedict and a version substituting caramelized vegetables for meat are among the items served at brunch here in a warm tavern atmosphere. Brunch cocktails include a bacon Bloody Mary and a raspberry spritz.

Colorful and cozy, Eggington’s serves breakfast/brunch from 7 a.m. on Sundays. Choices include a breakfast banana split, an Extravaganza Omelette with three kinds of meat, a Greek Benedict with feta and artichokes, and breakfast tamales.
