Blueberry waffle with whipped cream and orange juice at Around the Corner in Edmond, Wednesday, Feb. 11, 2015.

This cozy, family-owned breakfast and lunch spot is a favorite of Edmond diners. After devouring its made- from-scratch blueberry waffle, you’ll understand why there’s usually a wait for a table, especially on weekends. You’ll most likely leave planning your next trip, perhaps for lunch, to have one of the burgers and an order of hand-cut curly fries.

Haiget’s Restaurant introduces guests to the tastes of Kenya and Ethiopia. Offerings from each country are featured in separate menu sections, and the helpful staff will guide you through any questions you might have. To ease into the experience, we recommend the beef stew, a savory yet not-too-spicy dish. Enjoy it with chapati, a chewy Kenyan flat bread.

This menu highlights a delicious blend of Tex-Mex and Americana inspired by New Mexico and Colorado cuisines. Breakfast options include a green chili burrito that can be smothered in green chili stew. There are also everyday favorites like French toast; chicken-fried steak; and Brian’s Special, a burger with all the trimmings topped with a fried egg.
