denver colo.....sams3diner

downtown denver for july 4th weekend...sams3 ...great apple pie...good breakfast..breakfast quesadilla ...great...good oatmeal...solid coffee....doesnt rely qualify as a total crummy but good cause it was real clean and neat but even so....worthwhile...

asheville north carolina

while looking at asheville for a meeting site., came across a classic Crummy but good..The Mediterranean Restaurant...on college st ..across from Tops for Shoes...tatoos, hungovers, you name it ....but the food was great..the home fries super and the coffee hot...tables and counter...circa 1950, what more should i say?

star seafood, cortez florida..

this is a classic crummy but good...food served in cardboard boxes, go up to the window and order, cash only, picnic tables as dining tables and becoming more and more crowded each year..its on 123 street in cortez...same lady behind the counter for the past few years, same menu...i had grouper blackened which was good..the others in our party and there were 5 of us...had all sorts of different fish, each of which was good and each of which was served in those boxes...we happened on this place a couple of years ago when we saw the sign half off the building and we knew we were in for a treat...dont expect anything in any way fancy but if you want cheap and good..this place is great...we may want to look for another place next year since we had to wait on line for about 15 minutes to order and we are impatient kinda people...

sarasota florida...

have gone to the southeast vet ophth meeting every year and this year, we went back to Cragers on North Tamiami trail about a mile or 2 past the sarasota airport...home sqeezed o.j. in a mason jar and great breakfasts....good coffee....bill had a southwest omellete and i had a western...great and good service..a little bit classy when you consider all the crummy but goods we go to but worth the extra drive from snooty st armands circle stores and prices....

S.Deerfield, Mass...

i was in east bum-f..k, mass at a Red Roof inn where there was no breakfast and asked...lo and behold , a mile walk later in "downtown" S.Deerfield, Mass. was Jerrys Place at the crossroads and stop sign.....the best home fries i have had in a long time...and the breakfast (western omelette, rye toast and the above named home fries ) with tip was 8 bucks...so if ever in that neck of the woods..theres the breakfast joint...

Horsham Pennsylvania

I had to look at a drug study this a.m. in doylestown penn and since my usual route was blocked by an accident, i went up 95 ...and got to Horsham at 8 a.m..so had breakfast at the PlentiGrand cafe..a little joint on Horsham Rd. ..I found a little deli type joint that opens at 730 in the a.m. ..had a southwest omelette which was delicious and not served on a paper plate...toasted bagel, coffee...looked like they had good sandwiches as well and burgers for lunch....

park city utah

I had the opportunity of going to Park city utah for 3 days and wanted a breakfast that didnt cost 30 or 40 bucks at the hotel...so got in the car and went down main street in park city looking for a place and lo and behold , opening at 7 am. was the MainST.Deli...had eggs, bacon, good coffee and sourdough toast and with tip was 10...i hate being ripped off by hotels and i will drive a few miles and spend the gas money not to be overcharged for a couple of eggs...while in park city we also ate sushi at another restaurant on main st and asian fusion upstairs in the mall on main street..both were great but pricey....
