There are several choices if you want a great breakfast in Fresno, but the number one choice is BJ’s Kountry Kitchen. There are several of these restaurants here, but the one I frequent is on Blackstone just south of Shaw, and the food is better than the one in Clovis.
BJ’s is in a building that looks like an old fashioned diner and you walk in the door to a country ambiance. The service can be slow if the place is crowded, but is otherwise decent. I usually order the BJ’s Special Omelet. I pick the hash browns over the country potatoes, and the biscuits and gravy over the toast. The omelet is a flavorful combination of of bell peppers, red onion, mushrooms, Canadian bacon, and sausage drowning in a mixture of jack and cheddar cheese. The hash browns are golden brown and the crispiest in town or anywhere else I have ever had. The biscuits are light and fluffy with rich cream gravy. The food is hot and the Tabasco is already on the table for those who like their food a little more spicy.
Other delicious choices are the steak with eggs and the linguica with eggs. The huevos rancheros, a dish composed of eggs cooked over easy, on top of warm tortillas, drowning in salsa and cheese, is great if you are in the mood for a southwestern style breakfast. BJ’s is a terrific choice when you are on vacation from more healthy fare and have a craving for some good old fashioned comfort food.
