Let may start off by saying two things right out of the gate; first this is not a “best of” post, this is just going to be a general “fyi” type post. Second, you’ll notice that I will be including chain establishments.
Yes, those fine franchises that I don’t usually give much screen time to on my site for various reasons (one being that if you drive through town you see them without any help from me!). You know the ones I’m talking about, the ones with clown mascots, the ones that you can find on every street corner in America, the ones that everyone knows about, the ones that don’t actually care whether you come through the drive-through or not because they don’t care whether or not they ever see you again.
Now that that is out of the way, Let’s get to it…
Where can you find Breakfast in Gilmer Texas?
This list will be broken up into two main sections, the first those few restaurants without a drive-through window where you actually have to go in to eat. And then the second part of the list will be those that do offer a drive-through, mostly with dine in service as well as drive-through. And if they only offer a drive-through service that will be noted as well.
On to the list! For the most part, these are listed in the order you would come to them driving from south to north from the direction of Big Sandy or Gladewater and entering Gilmer from that side of town.
No Drive-Thru
Bubba’s Fat Burger – Check opening time on the day you want to come.
La Finca Mexican Food – Dine in only, they open later so check the time.
Midway Cafe (Past Walmart and the Civic Center on the right ) – I hear great things about this place!
With Drive-Thru
Dairy Queen – Say they open at 6am, I’d call to be sure.
Subway
Taco Bell – They have breakfast with Dine-in and Drive-thru BUT they serve it for such a short window of time you have to catch it just right.
Jack in the Box
McDonalds
Sonic
Whataburger
Schlotzsky’s
We have 3 Donut Shops in town, I’ll leave my opinions as to how they rank and as to which is the best Donut shop in Gilmer for another post, so here they are in no particular order:
- Gilmer Donuts (Across From Taco Bell)
- Daylight Donuts (Across from Speedy D’s Car Wash)
- Encore Donuts (on W Tyler St / 154 heading West – Across from Upshur Rural Electric)
If you are looking for a recommendation, well, that all comes down to personal taste doesn’t it? Alright, you pried it out of me … If I’m not being shy about calories, I love the sausage lovers breakfast burrito from Jack in the Box… cheesy greasy pleasure…
And that’s about the size of it! I plan to write future posts which expand the area a bit beyond the city limits, as well as personal recommendations if you plan short day trips in different directions from town, but for now, we are sticking to within Gilmer city limits.
If you see something I missed, message me and I’ll update the list.
Ok, go enjoy your breakfast!
