There's nothing better than tucking into a big, hearty, fully loaded breakfast... it is the most important meal of the day, after all. And if epic, decadent breakfast plates are your love language, you'll want to mosey on down to Waveland Cafe, an Iowa eatery that's known to turn even lifelong night owls into bona fide early birds!
Known as "the breakfast place," Waveland Cafe isn't your typical greasy spoon. It's eggstra. It's eggscelent. It's eggstraordinary!

The way to tell if a brunch spot is worthwhile is the eggs. It all comes down to the eggs. If a restaurant has mastered its eggs, you know everything else is going to be good!

And Waveland Cafe prides itself on their eggs. From mouthwatering omelets and eggs over easy to fried egg sandwiches and steak and eggs, this menu is, well, nothing short of eggscelent!
