Some chimed in with “Waffle House,” “my kitchen” and “grandma’s house” — all choices we respect — but we want to highlight the local restaurants readers chose to highlight as one of the best breakfast spots throughout the state, from down in Mobile all the way up to North Alabama.

Big Bad Breakfast (Florence, Greystone, Homewood)

“We guarantee you’ll never look at a breakfast plate the same again,” this restaurant’s website insists, having opened multiple locations in Alabama. The Florence Big Bad Breakfast marked the fourth location outside of Oxford. In 2014, they teamed with Birmingham restaurateurs Nick Pihakis and John Michael Bodner to open on U.S. 280, and that same group opened a second Birmingham-area location in Homewood. In fact, they said the second-ever location in Alabama is “where the concept would really take wings. “Whether it’s the house-cured Tabasco/Brown Sugar Bacon, crispy southern fried chicken, Original Grit Girl grits, or the Anson Mills Steel Cut Oatmeal, you’ll be talking about coming back before you’ve left the table.” Uh, we’re in.

Bob’s Downtown Diner (Mobile)

Self-described as “good old Americana cooking,” this spot sits in Mobile’s entertainment district, at 263 Saint Francis Street to be precise. A place “were there are no limits to what we can cook,” the website says. So what does that mean? Build your own omelet, try David’s breakfast (fried fish, two eggs, bacon), enjoy the Corned Beef Hash-N-Taters or pick the Breakfast Tacos (eggs, bacon, chorizo, peppers, onions, mushrooms and pico de gallo). The menu is vast.

Bubby’s Diner (Huntsville)

This throwback ‘50s diner in South Huntsville (8412 Whitesburg Drive SE) will fill you with bacon and eggs, with a steady diet of nostalgia. The shrimp and grits served with a biscuit, gravy and two eggs sound delicious, but we’re thinking about the doughnut slider with bacon, sausage, ham or fried bologna.

Buddy’s Rib and Steak (Northport)

Previously owned by the late Buddy Hall (who died in 2012), Buddy’s Rib and Steak was first Smalley’s Rib Shack in Leland Shopping Center, which Hall bought in 1978. Two years later, he switched the name and started serving breakfast, creating a long list of regulars who still drop by for daily meals to this day.

Café 431 (Phenix City)

“We are as good as the best and better than the rest,” they boast on their Facebook page. “Come in as a stranger, leave as a friend.” The spot at 3211 MLK Jr. Pkwy in Phenix City specializes in “fluffy” 3-egg omelets, pancakes and breakfast specials like chopped sirloin and eggs or homemade biscuits and sausage gravy.

Duck’s Diner (Orange Beach)

You can get breakfast all day at 4560 Easy Street in Orange Beach. “Experience a one of a kind local flavor while diving into a plate of two eggs cooked to order, grits, country ham steak and a side stack of buttermilk pancakes,” the website says. And you’re on the coast, so you might as well try the shrimp omelet.

Eastern Shore Cafe (Daphne)

Southwestern breakfast melts (on jalapeno toast with pepperjack cheese), blueberry French toast, chocolate chip pancakes? Yeah, we’ll give that a whirl. Find it at 1506 Main Street.

Hazel’s Nook (Gulf Shores)

You can try the “World Famous Gulf Shores Breakfast Buffet,” “Old Tyme Country Breakfast” or create your own. “First of all, when it comes to breakfast, we’ve been serving customers in the same place for over 60 years and still counting,” the website says. “Hazel’s Nook is a tiny mom-&-pop destination offering our famous Gulf Shores breakfast buffet, with a retro decor & checkered tablecloths.” At 120 E Fort Morgan Road, Gulf Shores.

Homecoming and Company (Guntersville)

“Serving joy,” their website says, this restaurant formerly known as Homecoming Cafe has a mission to “create and unite community through food and food ways.” They serve dishes like Dirty Bird (chicken fingers, maple slaw, bacon jam between waffles), Green Eggs & Ham (house-made collard greens, city ham, eggs and onion ring over local grits), The Bumpkin (griddled biscuit and homemade seasonal jam) and Warm Hug (homemade biscuit and chocolate gravy). Find it all at 3637 Lake Guntersville Park Drive.

Julwin’s Southern Country Restaurant (Fairhope)

Dubbed “Baldwin County’s oldest restaurant…where country cooking is a tradition & customers are our passion,” this place does the classic breakfast dishes just right with French toast, pancakes, shrimp and grits and more, plus The Pelican’s Nest — two eggs cradled in Texas Toast, grits, hashbrowns with bacon (or sausage).

Liberty Restaurant (Scottsboro)

“Indivisible, with Liberty, & Great Food For All!” Is this the most patriotic breakfast in Alabama? They deliver made-from-scratch, Southern-style home-cooking seven days a week with a variety of biscuit orders like sausage, bacon, ham, tenderloin and chicken tender. Find it at 907 East Willow Street.

Spot of Tea (Mobile)

At 310 Dauphin Street, you can get breakfast, lunch and brunch every day. Opened in 1994, the restaurant prides itself in ranking among the best in the country. What about these items: B.L.T. Croissant (applewood smoked bacon with fresh lettuce, sliced fresh tomatoes, stacked on a butter-curved croissant, with crispy cubed hashbrowns) or the Andouille & Cheese Cheddar Omelet (an Andouille sausage & Vermont cheddar omelet with your choice of waffle stick or sourdough toast).

The Waysider (Tuscaloosa)

The Historic Waysider Restaurant opened as an eatery in 1951. Located on Greensboro Avenue just off of 15th Street, the little red house with some of the Southeast’s best biscuits remains one of the town’s cornerstone restaurant destinations thanks to its rich history, Southern hospitality, delicious breakfast and lunch and Alabama football-inspired décor. It belongs on every college football fan’s bucket list.
