The Driftwood is your best bet for a hearty, delicious, & cheap breakfast in Marblehead. It's frequented by tourists and locals alike, and on weekends there is often a line outside the door of people waiting for tables or a spot at the counter. The food is wonderful, and the walls inside are adorned with ocean/sailing-themed paraphernalia of all shapes and sizes. The ""Masterpiece"" (English muffins with eggs, ham & cheese on top) and the chocolate chip pancakes are awesome. I never visit Marblehead without having breakfast there at least once! But remember your wallet -- it's cash only. For more on the Driftwood, Marblehead, and the road trip that took me there, check out my trip blog, ""A Mini & A Map.""
