you can ask - some places/waiters have been known to allow it, but in general you do not get an actual appetizer with breakfast -- you get the entree (or combo platter) & two drinks (like coffee & orange juice.) At Kona, we were allowed to get the pressed pot coffee instead of two drinks (the individual press pots are usually about $7.99 each; makes about 2 large mugs of coffee.) DH had the steak & eggs platter which was excellent, I had the Big Kahuna platter...outstanding. Pics in January dining report, post #27 - link below.
