These nine restaurants are about as good as it gets if you find yourself nursing a hangover.

Broward-Palm Beach

Testa’s Palm Beach

Any restaurant worthy of your hangover must meet strict standards. (1) No dress code. A pair of jeans, landscaped with spilled beer and cigarette burn holes, will work just fine. Sunglasses are de rigueur. And obviously, you’re not getting anywhere near a razor. (2) No crowds. Humans are…More >>

Denver

El Noa Noa

We love a Mexican restaurant that opens for breakfast. And if there’s one thing we love more than a Mexican restaurant that opens for breakfast, it’s a Mexican restaurant that opens for breakfast and then continues to serve that breakfast all day long — a mercy for those of us whose notion…More >>

Houston

Spanish Flowers

Often, late-night dining comes down to sheer convenience: Where can you find a place that’s open at 3 a.m. to head that hangover off at the pass or keep you going as you pull an all-nighter? And more often than not, convenience completely trumps taste. At Spanish Flowers, however, neither is…More >>

For us it’s a Western omelet with whole-wheat toast, potatoes, a cup of coffee and a glass of water. With a friendly attentive staff that calmly absorbs…More >>

Nashville Biscuit House

Tucked away on Gallatin Road in what had to have been the edifice of an old, long-gone fast food place, there lies the kind of fine breakfast that can soothe killer hangovers and broken hearts alike. If you’re looking for breakfast (not brunch, which is an entirely different animal), there’s…More >>

Phoenix

Daily Dose

We knew Daily Dose was our kind of restaurant as soon as we saw something called the “Hangover Sandwich” on the menu. Because, honestly, we’re usually too busy to indulge in a full breakfast during the workweek. But on our days off, we’re all about the most important meal of the day, since it’s…More >>

St. Louis

Uncle Bill’s Pancake and Dinner House

Most mornings when you’re nursing a particularly nasty hangover, the thought of ingesting anything more extravagant than plain toast, tap water and six ibuprofen is enough to cause your stomach to rebel. But despite your instincts to lay low with the curtains drawn, this is when your body is…More >>
