As we all know, brunch is the most important meal of the day. If you live in Glendale or are visiting the area, here are eight restaurants that will present you with a brunch you’re likely to remember and come back for again.

Corner Bistro

Omelet

Located on the bustling San Fernando Road, this easily accessible location offers generous portions and friendly service. Corner Bistro serves breakfast, lunch and dinner for a decent price in a casual environment. Corner Bistro also offers a large patio and hookah, a seemingly unusual but striking addition to the assets of this diner. As the sun goes down, the vibe steps up, and a younger crowd swarms in to enjoy both the food and the hookah. For brunch, though, you can unleash your creativity, either by designing your own omelet or pancake. Don’t fret if you don’t like omelets or pancakes aren’t your style – they have plenty of other options too.

Shakers Family Restaurant

Restaurant, American

Breakfast is served all day at Shakers Family Restaurant, a place where you’ll enjoy both the food and the customer service. Two of their signature items include their carrot cake and zucchini bread, both of which are a must-try. Shakers also offers two specific brunch specials that are only available on Saturday and Sunday; eggs Benedict and eggs Vienna. Something else of note is that Shakers uses trans fat-free and cholesterol-free cooking oils. The restaurant gives off a rustic vibe and is quite busy in the early hours of the day.

Foxy’s Restaurant

Restaurant, American

For those with a ravenous appetite, Foxy’s Restaurant is the perfect place. This spacious venue offers a wide variety of meals to choose from, as well as a toaster at each of the booths. The menu comes with about as many pictures as descriptions for those who have a not-so-vivid imagination and need more than the written word to help them decide on a dish. The atmosphere, too, is just as remarkable as the menu variety. With a large vaulted ceiling, a sizable patio, and two fireplaces, one might think they’re on vacation at a hunting lodge.

Eat Well

Cafe, Restaurant, American

This hole-in-the-wall gem might seem a little run-down, with its duct-tape upholstery and its lack of decor, but that’s all part of the charm. The interior of the building labeled ‘Coffee Shop’ is both small and quaint. Two large chalkboards display their specials according to each day of the week, as well as their specialties. A must-try is the ‘Big Mess,’ a combination of eggs, potatoes, mixed veggies, spicy sausage, cheddar cheese, and ‘whatever else [they] find handy’ at the restaurant. You can be sure of one thing – you will most definitely eat well at Eat Well.
