Nominate your favorite area restaurants for Michigan's Best Breakfast Joint

By Jessica Webster

MLive entertainment reporter John Gonzalez is on the hunt for Michigan's Best Breakfast Joint, and we here at AnnArbor.com think that Washtenaw County has some pretty strong contenders for the title.

We're looking for your suggestions for the best morning meal in the area. Whether you're enamored of their poached eggs, chocolate-chip pancakes, southern omelette or crispy bacon, we want to hear about it. Post your nominees in the comments below. If there's a particular dish that you love at the restaurant, let us know about that too.

We'll take your responses here and on the original post from Friday morning and create a poll on Friday. Make sure to come back and vote. Gonzo will be visiting our top reader favorites and will weigh them against the best breakfasts from across the state to determine the winner of Michigan’s Best Breakfast Joint.

Jessica Webster leads the Food & Grocery section for AnnArbor.com. Reach her at JessicaWebster@annarbor.com. You also can follow her on Twitter or subscribe to AnnArbor.com's email newsletters.

We thoroughly enjoy the café latte and the juicy omelets. We are excited to have this new restaurant in our town.

Gotta throw newly opened Juicy Kitchen at Miller and Maple in the mix. Great breakfast and lunch and all super fresh and healthy too. And, you can have a fresh made latte wtih your breakfast! Just talking about it makes me have to stop in there tomorrow!

I'm voting for the newcomer, Juicy Kitchen. Susan and Chef Dan have introduced me to so many new ways that healthy food can taste amazing! It's a perfect combo when you eat delicious food that is good for you fuel!! I'm so glad they partnered with Mighty Good coffee too.

Foggy Bottom in Dexter has excellent breakfast wraps and sandwiches. Great coffee and the price is right. Also love hippie hash at the Fleetwood.

I have to plug the Bomber for breakfast and brunch. Huge servings of comfort food. Love the omelets and the Nature Lovers pancakes (get them with sunflower seeds!). I also like Beezy's, especially the scrambled egg & pepper breakfast sandwich.

Northside Grill - the Kitchen Sink skillet is my favorite, unless Eggs Benedict is on the menu. Best hollandaise sauce ever!

Nothing against entries the restaurants in neighboring counties, but they are accepting their own entries here: Tri-County Detroit Region: http://bit.ly/WmP3ED Jackson County: http://bit.ly/YvAUst Ingham/Livingston: http://bit.ly/W8wh9y

Nick's House of Pancakes. Their various pancakes and french toast creations are phenomenal. Their skillets are filled with fresh local ingredients. I'm a fan of the Artie's stuffed french toast which has a cream cheese based filling with blackberries. My wife favors the Fat Elvis french toast which has bacon, bananas, and peanut butter in between two Texas style pieces of french toast.

Went to Nick's for the first time this weekend, and I was not impressed. The food was okay at best but the service was slow. Some of our food sat in the window for over 10 minutes.

Wolverine Grill In Ypsi. The last two Sundays I had a mac and cheese omelet. Are you kidding me? The mac and cheese was not Kraft, either. It came with roasted potatoes and a side of collard greens and kale.

I believe it was mentioned in the previous post but just to reiterate: Beezy's in Ypsi! Some of the best brunch/food around.

I love Beezy's! "Simple honest food" is such a perfect tagline for that restaurant.
