Clawson Grill and Old Port Voted Best Breakfast Restaurants in Town

Readers and Facebook fans show both restaurants lots of love in this week's contest.

This week's "What's the Best" poll has made one thing clear: the Clawson Grill and Old Port Restaurant are the most popular breakfast restaurants in town. Initially, our plan was to have one winner, but the overwhelming comments about both eateries on Facebook and the close poll race proved that both restaurants are deserving. 

The final poll vote was 18-19 (Clawson Grill favored) and on Facebook, Old Port received 14 comments and Clawson Grill, seven comments.

Old Port has been in business since 1977. Owner Harry Kapordelis said the restaurant's most popular breakfast items are the Special Breakfast— which includes ham, sausage, bacon, hashbrowns, toast and eggs— pancakes, French toast and eggs benedict.
