I've never been one to turn my nose up at any meal, but I definitely think that brunch is the best meal of the day. It's not too early - you can snuggle into your bed and sleep until mid-morning. And, it's a wonderful blend of breakfast and lunch. If you're in the mood for waffles, no one's gonna judge you. On the other hand, if breakfast food isn't your thing, you can enjoy a more lunch-like meal. Brunch is serious business on the weekends, so if you're planning to stop by at one of these 14 restaurants, grab some coffee first - you'll probably wait for a table.

1. Avenue Bakery, American Fork

11. Penny Ann's Cafe, Draper, Salt Lake City, Taylorsville

Penny Ann's slogan is "Home of the Heavenly Pancakes" and this adorable restaurant absolutely lives up to it.

14. Sill's Cafe, Layton

Your toughest decision at Sill's will be whether to get the scones with honey butter, or the sweet roll. There's no way you'll have room for both. 335 E. Gentile Street, Layton.
