If breakfast is the most important meal of the day, it stands to reason that combining it with the second most important, lunch, will only make it that much better. However, long lines and expensive entrees can often taint our perceptions of this beloved ritual. In this list, you'll find a low-key variety of offerings sure to please everyone in your friend group.
