After waiting so long for you guys at the last McDonald’s, I’m famished, so I’ll have a sausage and egg McMuffin, but only because we’re not at Arby’s where I could fill up on potato cakes. ---

Here we get pies and cookies all day long. I’ll have apple oatmeal, hash browns, and two apple pies. And a BIG coffee. ---

I choose Big Breakfast - I like their scrambled eggs that comes with it. The biscuit, hash browns and sausage are all tasty. No hot cakes because then I over eat. Its a rare treat for me. I often get the bacon, egg, cheese biscuit instead. Its quicker to eat and it doesn’t leave me feeling stuffed. Always get plain coffee for breakfast. ---

A parfait and/or a smoothie is it for me on the rare occasions I stop by McD. ---

I don’t eat breakfast, but I guess I’ll have some juice. ---

I haven’t eaten anything you could even remotely call breakfast in about ten years. And never in a restaurant (unless you count when staying in hotels). ---

Usually I get an egg and cheese mcgriddle, occasionally a bagel instead. A cinnamelt, and maybe an oatmeal. Generally the egg and cheese mcgriddle (or bagel) will take them at least three tries to get right. It gets really annoying. ---

It’s been a staple of Hardee’s breakfasts for as long as I can remember. I think lately I’ve seen it at McDonald’s too, but I don’t remember for sure. ---

> [@Musicat](#): > > OTOH, if I get up at 4AM, fix breakfast at 5, get to work at 6, by 9AM, I’m ready for lunch, and they don’t serve it yet. On the weekends, there’s really no excuse for breakfast to stop at 10:30 am. There are restaurants that make good money selling people breakfast food until 1 or 2 in the afternoon on weekends. ---

I think the only breakfast items I’ve ever eaten at McDonald’s is an egg McMuffin. Not being much of a breakfast eater, nor a McDonald’s fan… I’ll have a large black coffee please! ---

Sausage biscuits. They’re not the best sausage biscuits in the world but I can eat them, which is more than I can say about the rest of their menu any time of the day. (I’m not slamming McDonalds. It’s just that over the years I’ve found fewer and fewer things I’m willing to eat there.) ---

Sausage McMuffin with egg and an orange juice. I’m surprised by so much love for the hash brown thing they sell; I think those are gross. If I have a dog or two along with me, I may get one for the dogs. ---

Bacon, egg and cheese Mcgriddle = Satan. A really, really _tasty_ Satan. Mmm, I’m lov’n it. ---

ACK! I meant to vote STEAK egg & cheese bagle but am not fully awake and accidentially hit BACON egg & cheese bagel.Now certainly, there is nothing wrong with bacon, but I do love the steak/egg & cheese. ☹ The southern chicken biscuit is my second choice, tho I prefer Hardee’s chicken. ---

Egg McMuffin. Then go home for some real coffee and juice. ---

Sausage biscuit, don’t forget the cheese please! Hash browns and coffee too. Breakfast is about the only thing I’ll eat at McDonald’s. ---

You don’t have an other, so I will say scrambled egg, English muffin with butter and jelly, and a Coke.
