Right off the bat our experience got off to a great start. While we waited in line to order, one of the workers, possibly a manager, came up to us and informed us about the menu, how to order, and where to find utensils, drinks, and anything else we may need for our table.
I went with the eggs Benedict and was not disappointed. The portion size was gigantic and I did not realize it came with both ham and bacon, a pleasant surprise. It had so much meat that I couldn’t even find my buns. The meal did not come with a side so I ordered some potatoes which were seasoned perfectly.
My partner went with the pancake breakfast and the stack came with three well sized cakes. Eating fresh out the kitchen was the way to go as they were so soft they melted right into my mouth. They had a coffee bar with maybe a selection of 5 different roasts from various countries to choose from.
Based off some reviews we had read and of course reddit, we decided to go as soon as they opened and this made our visit much more pleasant. We were maybe the third or fourth person in the building and had 0 wait. By the time we were leaving the klub had slowly began to fill up . The parking lot is very small but we were lucky enough to find a spot right in front.
I would highly recommend the klub and will definitely be coming back. Great food and amazing service, it even sounded like the staff was on a first name basis with many of the guests.

Everything about this place was amazing! I’m not big on breakfast but this breakfast is amazing! We came from Fort worth to try it and when I say this is my new go to spot! We waited about an hour but I definitely would do it again! The staff is great and I love the fact the Boss actually go around and have conversations with his customers! Keep up the good work

I have always wanted to come here and I am so happy I did. When we walked in we were greeted upon arrival. The lady who greeted us was pleasant and very friendly. She even made suggestions for us. The whole atmosphere was very nice and I loved the vibes. You place your order at the counter and then they bring it to you. Everyone was so nice from the guy who took our order to the wait staff. I ordered the fish and grits with potatoes on the side. The food was amazing, seasoned and cooked to perfection. I enjoyed every single bite. The manager gave me a complimentary dessert since it was my birthday. They really made my birthday special and I will definitely be back.

I had a ten hour layover in Houston. So, my day was spent visiting family, and supporting black own businesses! The Breakfast Klub was my first stop! And it was eeeveriEthang! Now, that’s 5 Star fine dining at it’s best! It was more than just the delicious food, everybody’s spirit was so full of love and they interacted with the customers.

My wife and I stopped by The Breakfast Klub for breakfast, and it ended up being one of the best breakfast experiences we have had in a long time. I ordered the Catfish & Grits, and my wife went with the Wings & Waffle. Both dishes were incredible and packed with flavor.
The catfish was tender on the inside with a perfectly crispy crust that was seasoned just right. Every bite had real flavor, not just salt like some places do. The wings were just as impressive, crispy, juicy, and seasoned to perfection, and the waffle was light, fluffy, and a great balance to the chicken. They really know how to prepare food with care and confidence.
Terry, the person who greeted us, was outstanding. He welcomed us like we were old friends and made sure we felt at home from the moment we walked in. That kind of hospitality goes a long way and truly added to the experience.
The only small challenge was parking. It was tight, and we ended up parking a short walk away, but honestly, the food and service made it worth it. The lemonade and tea were on the sweeter side, so I mixed mine with water, but it still tasted great.
All in all, we loved our visit and will absolutely be going back. Great food, great vibe, and great people.
Highly recommend The Breakfast Klub!

Runs like a machine. Don’t be discouraged by the line out the door. Do plan your order in advance. They will provide a QR code while you’re in line to help you pick. They move you in efficiently, and food is ready fast. The service was excellent. Friendly and patient even though they were busy on a holiday Friday morning. Food was fresh and well seasoned with good sized portions for splitting or saving for later if you don’t finish. Atmosphere is aligned with the restaurant: warm woods, not pretentious, music that isn’t so loud you can’t talk (Jill Scott and Sade ), with local artwork on the walls. Wings, waffles, french toast, grits, potatoes, biscuits–all were a hit at our table. They worked us in as a group of 5, and we didn’t have to wait long. Visit. Stop waiting. Just go. Planning to try their other restaurants, too.

I am going to first start with… BE PREPARED TO STAND IN LINE! We waited in line for about an hour. The line was very long. They have another eating location in the back, but they do not offer the full menu. Since this was our first time visiting we wanted the full experience. The staff was welcoming and did their best to get everyone seated in a timely manner. The atmosphere was great.
The food: we ordered the 3 meat omelet x2, pancakes, eggs, grits, bacon, biscuit and gravy, and catfish and grits, sweet tea, and lemonade. Food was very seasoned. Grits were on point. Now the biscuit and gravy and sweet tea…we were not a fan of.
Great customer service, food came out in record breaking time and it was HOT. I would recommend and I would definitely try again if ever in the Houston area.

Okay, so I get why this place receives all of the hype. My friend insisted that we dogs her birthday breakfast here with family and friends since we were visiting Houston and it did not disappoint. This is what you call a “big back” restaurant because the portions are huge and all of the options are a must have, must try. My food was excellent and everyone was so friendly and welcoming. I will definitely be back, and when you visit please come hungry and ready to take home leftovers.

Don’t let the line deter you. The service is relatively fast, the service is amazing, the staff is amazing, the food is amazing period. There were 6 of us dining in and every single person said their food was great. We all got something and every single person ate everything. None of us are from Houston let alone Texas so this was definitely a good recommendation from the locals.

I see what’s the hype about but it validated. There’s always line here but it moves (sorta) and worth the wait. The chicken and waffles were great. The batter on the chicken was super flavorful, just add a little hot sauce to make perfect. I asked the worker taking my order- if I only get to try one item, what would it be, she told me the catfish and grits. And she did great recommendation, but the catfish was so good. Batter was excellent and catfish meat juicy inside. The staff there were super friendly, always checking in on us. All in all, a must go to spot in Houston!
