Jersey to DC Breakfast Suggestion

[Citizen Rich]

I head down to DC from Trenton semi-regularly and would like a suggestion for a breakfast stop along the way. We usually hit a Waffle House down in Deleware, but I'm always passing truck stops on 295 in Jersey and was wondering if anyone can point me at a good one. I've eaten at the Iron Skillet a few times, but I'd like to try someplace new.

Thanks for the help!

If you wouldnt mind swinging into Baltimore, I would HIGHLY recommend Blue Moon Cafe. They were on Diners Drive Ins and Dives for the french toast encrusted with Cap'n Crunch, but I recommend the chipped beef. We went at 7am and waited an hour so beware.

I've thought about going there sometime, but the next trip is going to be an express and I won't have time to wait around. It's definitely on the list for the next time we overnight in Baltimore.

Been there. It's only 15-minutes from home. I'm not in love with it as much as many others are (I'm not a cinnamon roll and cheese bread fan), but it's not bad.

I always stop at The Waffle House off of the Aberdeen exit. Nothing special at all, but I do love their waffles and friend ham! -mJ

That's the WB we hit as well. I'm really just there for there for the hash browns --doubled and scattered. I'm a western guy and I grew up eating Hashbrowns instead of home fries, and I still think that Easterners are completely nuts for preferring home fries. It's hard to find good hash browns, but the WB does a decent enough job with them. I like to order chili and pour it on top too. That's good food.

I've never been a fan of the Cracker Barrel chain. I ordered a chicken fried steak (another near to impossible find out here) there once and it came with some sort of white glue on it that they called gravy and a side of greasy cheesed hash browns. No thanks.

Cracker Barrel. There are a few along the way. Last exit of NJTP/295 in NJ; Elkton, MD (exit 109); Aberdeen, MD (exit 80).
