Chuck's Restaurant II, Orlando

Those mornings when you're willing to sacrifice your waistline for some breakfast comfort food, check out Chuck's Restaurant. The building has served as a diner since 1918, although as Chuck's only since 1993. Inside, the decor is simple with a long lunch counter and faded booths. But while the eatery loses points in decor, they make those up in the quality of food. For breakfast, try the homemade biscuits with sausage gravy or the blueberry pancakes. If you're really hungry, the eggs-sausage-hash browns-bacon-and-grits combo is a steal.
