Maid Rite is one of those fun places to walk into just for the retro–eclectic décor.
The Pekin Maid–Rite in the morning is a place to stop not long after waking up.

The breakfast here is a bargain.
You pick your four favorite morning flavors for three–dollars and 99 cents with the purchase of a beverage. It is the Maid–Rite answer to the national economic downturn.

"A lot of places are doing dollar menus. So we decided to do the pick four to drive our breakfast business and it just became real popular so we stuck with it and continued to offer that to our customers especially during this time when money is tight," said owner Kevin Kraft.

If you're not only watching your money but your calorie intake, you can copy Loretta Hindahl and her husband.
They do the pick four divided by two.

"We really like a clean place to eat. And the food is good. We have the special and we split the special because it is so much food," said Loretta.

You pick four from a long list: 2 eggs (any style), 2 sausage links, a sausage patty, 2 strips of bacon, ham steak, 2 pancakes, hash browns, biscuits and gravy, fruit cup, toast, oatmeal or cereal.
The combinations are endless or obvious.

You could just order links, patty, bacon and ham steak. Then you would just have a meat breakfast.

They will fix your eggs to meat your order, no matter how you request it.

"The yoke, yokey, and no snot. (What's the snot?) –The whites not done," said customer Dan Zimmerman.

My picks included two eggs over medium, a sausage patty, B's & G's and sour dough toast.
Dubbs chose the same eggs, same sausage patty, bacon strips and hash browns.
Lets' make this clear, Maid Rite does breakfast right.
Everything is cooked fresh.
The biscuits and gravy is filling.
Dubbs bacon was crispy.
The eggs cooked just right.
Dubbs also ordered a large orange juice and we each had coffee.
The bill for our breakfast: 13–dollars plus tip.
You'll improve your chances of having a good day, when it starts at Maid–Rite.
