griddled crispy edges and juicy middle — ask for medium-rare, fries non-negotiable

New England style, properly thick — bread bowl if available, otherwise oyster crackers

sharable side, easy upgrade with bacon or jalapeños, often the best thing on the menu

massive portion, easy to share — eggs over-easy, hash browns crisp, sausage spiced right

single is enough for most, double is for when you skipped lunch entirely
