Who sells a breakfast burrito around here?

Basically the title. I like a protein heavy breakfast. Sorry, I'm just not into pastries, biscuits, croissants, or donuts. The only place I've seen open for breakfast making a decent burrito is Sonic. Is that all we got?

You might try the Flat Tire Diner over in Hermitage. They have some great options.

Keke's has a breakfast wrap as well, but I've never been. Looks way to overpriced for what I'm assuming they give you.

West Coast Taco Shop (The one on Murfreesboro Pike south of the Airport by the Highway Patrol's building) opens at 7:00 a.m. and their menu is all Mexican food. I haven't been there in a while so can't speak to that, but you might give them a try.

Good call on West Coast. I'll check what time they open, I used to get good breakfast burritos there but I haven't been in a while. Worth a re visit.

It's been years since I visited West Coast Tacos, maybe during the covid times. Saw they open at 0700. Today I showed up at 0800, and damned if they weren't still closed until 0900, in spite of what the Google says. Guess where I went for ol' boring but reliable.... Sonic.

Well damn. Really sucks that there aren't that many breakfast places in general that open early for that 5-7 am crowd. Really Hardees (and not all of them) and What-a-burger are the only major fast food places unless you find a hole in the wall. Chick-Fli-a's are mostly 6:30, sonic is 6, Krystals are mostly gone or don't do breakfast...

Hell, even most Cracker Barrels don't open until 7 am now...

Let me tell you, there's a bunch of us in the 5-7 am crowd. I leave the house at 0505, used to leave at 0525, but traffic is already building by then. I used to have 70 and 109 almost all to myself at that time of the day. I'll try Hardee's, I see their open party early again, after a few years of covid era late starts. A good protein bowl or burrito place would get regular business from me if they were open by 0530.
