Just moved to the area - whats the best place for breakfast?

The Fox is the stalworth.  I also like Whiteway Deli(Ander special: egg white and tabouli in a pita).  If you just want something quick, you can ALWAYS find coupons for Einsteins Bagels.  I routinely get a free bagel sandwhich with drink purchase(about 1.34 total).

Derby House in Five Points is ok(pretty decent catfish and grits special), but I prefer The Fox in Avondale.

I like the Fox too but their staff can sometimes be a little shaky.  Not the friendliest of people.  Biscotti's is also good for brunch.

For an alternative to The Fox, check out the Cool Moose at Park and King. 

There are a few upscale options besides Biscotti's.  I haven't been to The Row lately for breakfast (on Riverside between Memorial Park and the Cummer), but from what I remember it was very good.

Close to Riverside Avondale, i.e. in Murray Hill, I'd also look into the Edgewood Bakery and the Crazy Egg. These two places are both on S. Edgewood.  The Crazy Egg is where Dave's Diner used to be.

Cool Moose is tops.  Kickbacks has good breakfast as well but their coffee stinks.

The Fox or Cool Moose are my regular Sunday morning stomping grounds. Both can get pretty busy, as seating is hard to come by in the a.m. at both locations.

The Row restaurant has been closed for some months now.

Derby House is always good solid diner food.  No surprises, no disappointments.  Good coffee.
When all else fails hug the dog.

I think Uptown Market and Metro Diner are better than anything in Avondale/Riverside and worth the quick drive out.

The operative word there is "drive."  I'd prefer to walk, esp on weekends.

Best breakfast in the entire core is The Fox, Cool Moose, Einstein's, Metro Diner, & Tommy's in Springfield. Stick to any of those & you're gonna be allllright.

Cool Moose or The Fox by far!

For best brunch, my fave is Blue Fish... 5 dollar unlimited mimosas/bloody marys? Yes, please!

The only thing that I don't like about the Metro Diner is that it is such a cluster f--k what with all of the crowds. 

Besides, I thought that this thread was about the best place for breakfast in Riverside/Avondale.  This would be like having a Bite by Bite edition of Folio, but all of the reviews detailing the best restaurants in Atlanta...  LOL

The Fox hands down. If you want to avoid crowds though, Michael's Deli (across from St. Vincents on Barrs) has great home fries and delicious breakfasts in a sack.
