  What’s on the menu: Breakfast and lunch are on the menu here, although the Blue Rooster does offer a Friday night dinner. This is good, home-style fare with a Southern flair. Biscuits and gravy, eggs, pancakes and the like are served until 11 a.m. After that, lunch takes over with sandwiches, salads and a daily blue plate special with a serving of meat and two veggies.

  Why your kids will like it: Every kid should try at least one fluffer nutter, and that’s at the top of the kid’s menu. (For the uninitiated, a fluffer nutter is a peanut butter and marshmallow fluff sandwich.) Portions are sized – and priced – right for little appetites. Each kid’s meal includes one of the Blue Rooster’s delicious sugar cookies, too. Kids also will love gazing into the dessert cases, which are filled with tantalizing treats like cakes, filled cookies, and cinnamon buns the size of a baby’s head.

  Why parents will like it: The chicken salad here is amazing, whether served on a bed of lettuce or one of the many varieties of bread, made with grapes and just the right amount of mayo. Sides include chips, potato salad or fresh fruit. And did I mention the mouth-watering array of desserts?
