    mr waffle used to be my brekkie of choice in town, but they're no longer on middle street - unconfirmed reports of them going somewhere near NUIG but I'm never that side.

    All good places I'm sure but i think Galway could do with a really good Greasy Spoon or am i mistaken and there's already one? I'm open to correction here

    I always get a Mother Hubbards whenever I have to go over to Dublin.
    Otherwise Nimmos or Kelly's for me.

    Finnegans and O'Riordans (same owners) are my personal worst for food in town. Unless you like food that actually tastes of microwave! Tasteless sausages, dry bacon, hard fried eggs. And their packets of ketchup have a really weird taste.

    In fact, those two places are totally over-rated on threads here regularly. Even their dinners are just microwaves muck. [/rant]

    GBC is ok if you get in before 10.45am.

    My faves are Friends on the Tuam Road, absolutely delicious and the Royal Rock in Ballybane (a real workman's and factory worker's brekkie).

    I would have to second Jalapenos. Had some right tasty brekkies in there and they have some options too if you don't want the full fry up. The Cellar used to do a good one as well but it's been a while since I tried it.

    Are you thinking of the Left Bank? That's was where Mocha Beans is now on Dominic St. They did a great breakfast.

    Well, if you're talking Dominick Street back in the day, Spud Murphys would be the outright winner (where Apache is now).

    Or when Monroes was where the Róisín was (I get very confused about that old location) - the weekend brekkie/brunch, with papers, music and half of Galway. Aww.

    Nimmos/Ard Bia is a fave, if a teeny spendy. Riordans has gone downhill imo. Jalepenos has upped the price from when it was the Tex Mex breakfast (same owners).

    Kelly's wasn't bad last time I went tho.

    *totally confused now*

    Didn't whoever used to lease the Roisin then Lease Monroes for a while in late 80s and early 90s then? There was a big shift at one point I remember with the crowd. Or at least the same breakfast 'gig' hopped venues? Them was fuzzy days. I mean running the business as opposed to the physical building (as in the Finns/Kings *own* Nimmo's but Ard Bia leases it).

    Tell me I didn't dream all this!

    This is where we ended up.

    Not bad for €6.50.

    Two sussies, two rashers, black and white pudding, egg, beans and mushrooms, mug of tea and a basket of toast and brown bread.

    only complaint is there were like a teaspoon sized portion of mushrooms, which is like my favorite of a fried brekkie :(

    But for the price, ya couldn't bate it with a big schtick.
