Among ways to start the morning, eating a balanced breakfast is second only to jogging with the sheep you counted the night before. Get your stomach off on the right foot with today's Groupon: for $5, you get $10 worth of breakfast and lunch fare at Hanover Pancake House.

The pancake professionals at Hanover Pancake House have been serving up an energizing menu of breakfast and lunch dishes since 1969. Like coaches prepping their star players, chefs dunk the cinnamon-roll french toast in an egg bath before grilling and serving it with four slices of crispy bacon ($6.99). Customers can tap into wells of personal creativity to design their own pancakes ($3.25–$5.99) with toppings such as strawberries, mixed berries, and bananas. The spinach, bacon, and tomato eggs benedict buttresses two poached eggs and creamy hollandaise sauce with toasted english muffins ($7.49), and an array of omelets ($5.25–$7.99) combines two country fresh eggs and toast.

For lunchtime fare, the Juicy Lucy, a 7-ounce beef patty stuffed with american or blue cheese, surrenders to a bun entrapment ($6.09), and the clubhouse wrap plays a trifecta of turkey, bacon, and ranch dressing on a flour-tortilla field ($5.89). Hanover Pancake House also feeds hungry computers and other gadgets with free wireless Internet.
