I've always liked the one half way up Elm Grove on the left. But I'm a bit out of touch tbh!

Macs Caff does the best grub, service with a smile only has a 40% strike rate though

A lot of people won't agree, but you can't beat Buddies for a gutbuster.

Not the greatest of locations but the cafe next to the Hobgoblin pub in London Road comes highly recommended. Fairly new and the two chaps that run it are really nice too. The grub is reasonably priced, well presented and good portions and the ambience is cool too. It's quite smart looking too.
Damn it! That's breakfast sorted!

If it's a full English you're after the best in our city is The Pile Up from Harry's English Restaurant. A quality breakfast at a fair price. Nice staff as well. Check my avatar.
On a point if pedantry isn't the Gutbuster a Market Diner product?

Indeed, although if they have the patent then they need to take a tour of the whole country & get a good lawyer.
I have just looked on the Buddies website and there is no Gutbuster listed under breakfasts.

Bystander Cafe by the station does a tremendous gut bustin' fry-up

That place needed to improve vastly from a couple of years ago. It's improved a bit.
Kitchen Café in Trafalgar Street is good.

Snack Attack, Baker Street.
In Brighton, I do think the Gutbuster is synonymous with The Market Diner though.

I love Sams Diner in Brighton Market just off London Road. Probably one of the things I miss most about the place.
Market Diner while sober? I'm happy to kebab sober but that's too much. I once ate all the mega gutbuster apart from one sausage and half a burger. There was an unfed dog with us and he wouldn't finish them for me.
The Cafe on Elm Grove is 'Elm Grove Cafe'. Still good but not like it was 20 years ago.
Macs for a Macs special always a tempter.
Other end of town I'm partial to Scotties.
Center of town I'm out of touch on fry ups, anyone know how the Dumb Waiter is these days? Tiffanys was ok too.

Any one remember Grahams Breakfast Bar in Hove? Now that was the business.
Buddies is excellent if you're smashed at 4am, but aside from this it's nothing to write home about. I can name at least 5 cafes, without really thinking, which are much much better in my opinion.
