Fulton, NY is a peaceful, family-oriented town known for its high-quality schools. In Fulton, you’re never far from the glistening waters of the lake or river, and in fact, the town was named after the inventor of the steamboat. While in our charming town, neither are you ever far from a variety of terrific breakfast places. Let’s take a look at the three best local diners to kickstart your day with an excellent meal.

Mimi’s Drive-In

This bright, airy family-owned and operated cafe has a classic American diner feel and has been serving the residents of Fulton breakfast for over 50 years. For several generations of locals, Mimi’s has been the go-to place for a delicious, filling breakfast. Their coffee is famously tasty and strong. The daily specials are competitively priced, and all the dishes are large and scrumptious.

A few of the local favorites include grilled muffins, cinnamon bun pancakes, customizable made-to-order omelets, and good old eggs and bacon. They have drive-in service, so if you’re in a rush, you can pull up and order from the comfort of your new 2022 RAM 1500 Classic Warlock 4×4. Place your food on the seat beside you, and with your pickup’s silky-smooth handling, you needn’t worry about spillage on the way to work. Visit Mimi’s at 201 North 2nd Street.

Cathy’s Cafe

This old-style quaint and characterful diner is run by Cathy and her friend, who provide all their customers with cheerful, prompt service and hearty all-American breakfast fare. It’s also a very popular place with many local regulars who come back for the friendly banter as much as the food.

If you visit, be sure to try out the ham and cheese omelet, stuffed french toast, hash browns, and sausage biscuits with gravy, along with a great steaming mug of delicious coffee. The cafe offers a perfect dose of small-town charm and good nourishment to start a productive day of work or recreation. You’ll find Cathy’s Cafe at 119 West Broadway.

Chick N Chop J B’s

A little up the road, at 720 West Broadway, you’ll come across another hidden gem of a cafe. At Chick N Chop J B’s, you’ll eat real homemade dishes with high-quality ingredients and generous portions.

The coleslaw, potato salad, Philly cheese steak, mushrooms, onion rings, and any of their chicken dishes are always popular. And the friendly, welcoming servers and happy regulars give the atmosphere a warm family feel. It’s certainly worth the visit.

Between these three fine diners, you’re spoiled for choice. And once you’ve filled up with a hearty meal, visit Longley Bros. We’re a locally-run full-service dealership with a great range of cars and courteous, knowledgable staff.
