Berkeley has its fair share of amazing breakfast eateries, so I was surprised to be recommended one that I’d never heard of in my four years living in the area. I’m glad I got to try the place out – it was a unique and tasty experience.
Rick & Ann’s Restaurant, as this place is called, is located in the Claremont area, close to the well-known Claremont Hotel. The restaurant had a nice and inviting vibe, and it was a beautiful Sunday morning, perfect for a filling breakfast.
I ordered the Midwest, which included two potato-cheese pancakes with two eggs any style, grilled tomatoes, and the restaurant’s house-smoked pork chop. Not exactly the most conventional breakfast, but delicious all the same. The potato-cheese pancakes had a hashbrown-like consistency and tasted great. I ordered the eggs sunny-side up (as usual), and they were cooked perfectly. The pork chop wasn’t overwhelming and worked well with the grilled tomato and homefries. Everything added up to an amazing breakfast meal.
I’d definitely recommend this place if you’re looking for some solid breakfast menu items, as well as less traditional breakfast meals!
