Eat up! There’s nothing better than fresh-squeezed orange juice, crispy bacon and pancakes as fluffy as pillows. Thankfully, there are lots of great local breakfast/brunch spots around. Here are just a few that local brunchers have to check out.
Vickery Park
The brunch at Vickery Park is perfect for a relaxing start to the day. For Pecan Waffles or Chilaquiles (two eggs, fried corn tortillas, Queso Fresco, red onions, avocado and epazote ancho chile sauce) Vickery Park, right in lovely downtown Plano, is the perfect place to go.

Rye
Trek up to McKinney to one of their best known breakfasts at Rye. Their original and innovative plates include the Bacon Nutella Short Stack, and the slider trio on buttermilk-cheddar biscuits. Plus, be sure to come often to try the daily Eggs Benedict special and daily omelet special, which change regularly.
