Anchor Grill
The neon “We May Doze but Never Close” sign in the window says it all. Head straight for the goetta and cheese omelette, served with your choice of toast. A whole slice of goetta and a layer of cheese, beneath a blanket of egg. It’s heaven. Just make sure you bring cash—no plastic accepted here. • 438 Pike St., Covington, (859) 431-9498
Pepper Pod
Fair warning: There is no nonsmoking section here. But the waitresses are sassy, and the food is cheap and filling. The Poor Boy breakfast delivers you two thick slices of fried bologna, two eggs, hash browns, and toast for $4.80. For soaking up whatever you’ve overimbibed, try the loaded hash browns, with ham, onion, peppers, tomatoes, and American cheese. They’ll set you back a mere $3.85. • 703 Monmouth St., Newport, (859) 431-7455
Camp Washington Chili
The interior is sparkly-bright, with diner-ific red accents, and the menu’s packed with breakfast favorites, but this is a chili parlor—and one of our very best. So why fight it? Order your omelette with a scoop of Camp Washington Chili on top, and really get those 3 a.m. munchies out of your system. • 3005 Colerain Ave., Camp Washington, (513) 541-0061
