Best home fried chicken (next to Aunt Flo's, rest her soul)

by edutech

You may get good food a lot of places, but it's the people that take the Proud Rooster beyond culinary competition. Breakfast and lunch are great (no dinner hours), especially the fried chicken - order triple what you think you will eat, because you'll eat twice as much and want to take home leftovers (good hot or cold).

Bob and Barb, along with the rest of the wait staff, make everyone feel welcome. Between the morning and noon rush, retirees hang out nursing their cups of coffee and chatting with anyone. No pretense here (and no pretentious coffee like double lattes with 2% soy milk and jambo root undertones), just the salt of the earth.

When my mentally ill brother sometimes wandered the streets, Bob and Barb invited him in, totally unconcerned that his weirdness might cause some customers to shy away. More than that, they kept an eye out for him, and for my aging mother as well. These are the people that make a restaurant more than a business and a business district more than a bunch of stores: the Proud Rooster is part of the neighborhood - and a good neighbor to boot.

• Pros: Excellent fried chicken, great breakfast at low price, great owner and staff with community values
• Cons: Nothing comparable to the chicken for vegetarians, smoking still allowed in part of small dining room

Best Cheap Breakfast

by r_p_cook

Excellent cheap breakfast always well prepared. The service is efficient. Great Clifton Tradition. Only problem is that the smoke from the smoking section sometimes drifts into non-smoking.

• Pros: Cheap, Good Service, Local Feel
• Cons: Smoking, Small
