Saturday morning we decided to drive down to Paul's Pantry in Mission Viejo. We hadn't been there in quite some time; and we wanted to see if it was as good as we remembered it. We were delighted to find that it was even better now than when we were here last. The staff is very efficient and super friendly. The prices are reasonable and the food, which has always been excellent, seems to have gotten even better! The portions are enormous, and their signature Cinnamon Roll is not to be missed (and can be substituted for toast with no up-charge).


Sweetie Pie ordered the Meat Lovers Omelette with a side of Cottage Cheese. The Meat Lovers Omelette has Ham, Sausage and Bacon with Cheddar and Swiss Cheeses. Not only was that Omelette delicious, it was the biggest Omelette I have ever seen. It covered most of her plate, and even with help from me, we couldn't finish it and ended up taking some home. Her mother ordered Bacon and Eggs with Hash Browns. Also very good and an extremely generous portion. The eggs were prepared as ordered (over hard), the bacon was nice and crisp and the hash browns golden crispy on the outside and fluffy inside (just how we like them). I ordered the "Award Winning" Chicken-Fried Steak and Eggs, and I have to say that it is as advertised ("We Know How" OC Register). The coating was thin and crispy and the steak tender and flavorful. The Sausage Gravy was heavenly (we ordered a side to pour on our potatoes). And, once again, the portion size very generous.


We each substituted the Giant Cinnamon Roll for toast. Those Cinnamon Rolls are freshly baked and sinfully delicious. They are big enough for sharing, but we each had our own.


Today's Paul's Pantry breakfast gets three thumbs up from the 3 Tubby Tummys!
