Best Restaurants For Breakfast In McLean: Patch Readers

MCLEAN, VA — Patch recently published a survey asking its readers to share their recommendations for the best places in and around McLean to take a visitor to for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Sixteen foodies shared their favorite restaurants and recommendations for what to order. The response to our survey was so great that we've decided to split the results into several stories, starting with breakfast.

Survey respondents recommended a handful of breakfast spots in McLean, praising them for their service, the scope of their menus and their signature dishes. One restaurant in particular — the McLean Family Restaurant — was mentioned more than any other.

Founding Farmers ...

"Founding Farmers, because of the hearty, well executed array of breakfast foods, including homemade donuts, breads and, the unique cocktail selection." — Helena M.

McDonald's ...

"McDonald's for its convenience. Two egg McMuffins and a cup of coffee." — M. Hanson

McLean Family Restaurant

"Rub elbows with the true locals, the people who give McLean its character — the church goers on Sunday morning, the Saturday sports teams, business men, local and national politicians. Don’t forget the developers sketching their plans for the future of McLean in their notebooks. Cheese & spinach omelette." — Linda Cevasco

"McLean Family Restaurant because the omelets are excellent and the service is quick and friendly." — Andrea

" Long-time center for gathering and eating." — Jon Monett

"Great breakfasts and friendly, comfortable environment." — Debbie

"Just a good all around breakfast menu." — George

Silver Diner ...

"Healthy Menu Favorite item — Jack Cheddar Cheese Omelette." — Scott

StarNut Gourmet ...

"Any of the omelets or paninis." — J in McLean

Zburger ...

"This seems counterintuitive but they make an awesome breakfast. I’ve tried several things and like them all but the absolute best thing they make is incredible hash browns. So many breakfast places don’t know how to make good hash browns and some only offer breakfast potatoes in cube form…at Z burger they have the real deal hash browns." — Brennan
