Recommend the best spot to have breakfast

[unskinnybob]

So much Wimpy hatred. Anyone have an actual sensible reason or is it just a snob thing?

I'll take a Wimpy breaky any day - thank you. Primi Piatti also makes some good breakfasts. Greenfields in Centurion used to make a killer eggs Benedict - pity they closed down.

 

[I.am.Sam]

i enjoy spurs r20 brekkie with mushrooms and livers added on

and extra toast and then with cappucino its comes to like r60

Yep Dr quin is correct ...wimpy is bad ....really bad

Well, I'd be first to admit that breakfast at my home sucks. (Cheap) muesli and fat free yoghurt might be healthy, but is not great.

The canteen at work does a mean, cheap breakfast, though (cheap being important to me, in case anybody has failed to notice that so far). At the canteen, you can have a huge breakfast for something like 14 rands, including toast, eggs and some sort of sausage. It might not be a defense force breakfast, but it is decent as well.

You can do egg toast and sausage at home ?
I have an omelette every morning with a variety of stir fry veges like onion,peppers,mushroon tomato etc.
Sometimes ill add roast chicken steak or polony.drown it down with some nice filter coffee.

Sure the prep sucks but it beats the processed poison at takeouts.

Read my post: I gave three solid reasons. It has nothing to do with the cost or the venue: THE FOOD IS KAK. Plain and simple really.

So whats your best place to get breakfast on the weeked?

I still love wimpy...and the mega breakfast is one of 2 hangover cures (the other being nandos)!

recently though, i've discovered manhattan grill (bottom floor of cresta), buffet breakfast, R50 and they have flap jacks.
So far, this tops the previous buffet special chef n fat man used to have for best value and quality..

where else should I try or would you recommend for the best (cheap) breakfast

Where in jhb r u?

Nothing beats Wimpy and Wimpy coffee. There's a special at the moment for R40

You get 2 pieces of bacon, 2 eggs, 1 sausage one piece of toast and half a tomato, and a regular Wimpy coffee and a Wimpy mug.

I can't seem to find the special on their site, I had it at Durban airport.


Second I would say Spur.

i enjoy spurs r20 brekkie with mushrooms and livers added on

and extra toast and then with cappucino its comes to like r60

This is delicious good combo!

No - you gave 3 KAK reasons:
1. Chips inedible: Who cares? We're talking about breakfast. When did chips become the benchmark of a good meal? Please provide a chips rating frame of reference.
2. Coffee is kak: Your opinion. Many disagree. Again, we're talking about breakfast.
3. Neon red tomato sauce: Don't use it? Ask for Tabasco or HP if you have to spoil a meal with condiments.

Ooooh a free Wimpy mug?!?! I give up...............

I didn't go for the special because of the mug though, was a nightmare having to hold in during the flight almost decided to leave it there.

Jirre what a comeback:

So the chips I pay for that is included is kak, but I "don't have to eat it , so that makes it fine"?
So talking about breakfast cancels out coffee? What planet are you from?
I can eat at Wimpy, but I shouldn't use the tomato sauce with my breakfast?

Did you read your comments before posting? All you are saying is that the chips and cofee and tomato sauce is kak, but that doesn't matter 'cos I "do not have to eat/drink it" and stuff like tomato sauce and coffee is irelevant when talking about breakfast.

And here is my chips rating frame of reference by the way ( starting with the best):

Home made fries
Chips from fish&chips shops
Steers chips
Cardboard
Dogsh*t
McDonalds chips
Wimpy "chips"

I see I'm dealing with a stereotypical duthie. I'll type s-l-o-w-l-y, maybe you can follow.

Wimpy's coffee sucks = your opinion. Many disagree. If you don't like their coffee, don't drink it. Have a brannas and coke or toilet water or whatever you prefer.

So the chips I pay for that is included is kak, but I "don't have to eat it , so that makes it fine"?

Chips isn't the corner stone of everyone's breakfast. I could do fine without chips for a breakfast. You probably didn't know this, or can't read so lekka, so I'll tell you a secret: You don't have to order chips with your meal. There are meals that come without chips, so you aren't paying for them.

I can eat at Wimpy, but I shouldn't use the tomato sauce with my breakfast?

How do I put this in language you'll understand? No-likey the neon red sticky tomato sauce, No-eaty the neon red sticky tomato sauce. K?

A chip connoisseur. Precious.

Just in staying on topic - where would you recommend having breakfast, or do you aim solely to troll?

 

[ijacobs3]

wimpy northgate,

food is always good, service is brilliant!

 

[KingBel]

Primi served a mean English Muffin breakfast a few years back... not sure if they still do that. If they do, definitely try that out.. it's awesome!

These days I generally don't have time for a proper breakfast.. bowl of cereal in the mornings at most... and good luck trying to wake me up before lunch time on the weekend

 

[seanyp00h]

There are 2 restaurants joined together on Nelson mandela square. R60 gets you a really good breakfast buffet.

 

[Picard]

What the hell is a duthie?

Oh here we go: firstly the personal attacks ( mediocre at best, by the way ) and than the inevitable troll coment. Well then let's operate at your level: if you think Wimpy food and coffee is good, you are a moron and have no tastebuds and no idea what food and coffee is supposed to taste like. You probably think the Spur is fine dining and the waitron squatting next to your table to scribble down your order, is providing silver service when spilling your plate of ribs in your lap.

I hope that was put in language YOU can understand. So go sit at Wimpy and eat your breakfast and enjoy, while basking in your cullinery superiority. Myself and many, many others actually realise that the "food" they serve there is tasteless, below par and at the lowest part of any list of fast food chains.

I don't live in GP so cannot recommend where you should have breakfast. I have breakfast at home and on special occasions I take my family to have breakfast at Twelve Apostles, Hohenhort and most recently The Spier.

Anyway...flame away...I honestly do not give a sh*t.

 

[Devill]

And then you wake up and smell your own coffee.

No, when I woke up Kate had brought me a nice cup of Colombian blend.

Sauce?

Tartare sauce

So much Wimpy hatred. Anyone have an actual sensible reason or is it just a snob thing?

Wimpy imo, is fine but over priced. I can get the same thing at Spur for 50% less.

 

[syntax]

Where in jhb r u?

I am willing to roam anywhere from cresta area to fourways to sandton.

wimpy northgate,

food is always good, service is brilliant!

Its usually too busy though...

There are 2 restaurants joined together on Nelson mandela square. R60 gets you a really good breakfast buffet.

Now thats what i am talking about! I will give this a bash

So far, Besides the above, looks like im stuck with manhattan grill...

 

[unskinnybob]

What the hell is a duthie?

DutChie

Oh here we go: firstly the personal attacks ( mediocre at best, by the way )

Oh how delicate you are. You didn't exactly set a subtle tone, so please don't go crying to mommy.

and than the inevitable troll coment.

You get that a lot, huh?

Well then let's operate at your level:

Good luck with that.

In my opinion if you think Wimpy food and coffee is good, you are a moron and have no tastebuds and no idea what food and coffee is supposed to taste like.

FTFY.

You probably think the Spur is fine dining and the waitron squatting next to your table to scribble down your order, is providing silver service when spilling your plate of ribs in your lap.

For some reason I suspect waiters at both Spur and Wimpy are grateful that you and your ilk don't lower your standards and mix with the commoners at their restaurants any more. Awful hard pleasing those with delusions of grandeur.

I hope that was put in language YOU can understand. So go sit at Wimpy and eat your breakfast and enjoy, while basking in your cullinery superiority. Myself and many, many others actually realise that the "food" they serve there is tasteless, below par and at the lowest part of any list of fast food chains.

Can we have a copy of your list? What is par for course?

I don't live in GP so cannot recommend where you should have breakfast. I have breakfast at home and on special occasions I take my family to have breakfast at Twelve Apostles, Hohenhort and most recently The Spier.

You could have just said you don't eat at Wimpy because you're a label snob. No shame in that. World needs pretentious people.
