When we travel, we usually end up wishing for a better breakfast at the airport. Last month we had a 10AM flight to New Orleans. We were going to park our car off airport when we decided to look for a breakfast place.
Within a few miles, we saw an International House of Pancakes and pulled in. No issues with parking or getting seated. Service was great and attentive. My wife liked the pot of coffee placed on the table---a hot refill upon need. My diet coke was refilled before I requested it--no waiting at all. Our breakfast of eggs was very good compared to anything offered at the Airport---even real metal knives!
When finished, we continued on our way, parked our car, entered the Airport and passed all of "those" terrible places offering their breakfasts with plastic ware!
