Brunch Restaurants in the USA

Our guide to brunch restaurants

Breakfast and brunch spots range from classic diners and pancake houses to modern brunch cafes with creative menus, bottomless mimosas and long weekend waits. Most open early and close by mid-afternoon, which is the opposite rhythm to most restaurants.

Weekday mornings are calm and quick; weekend brunch between about 9 AM and 1 PM is peak time, and popular places often use a waitlist instead of reservations.
