Review from Marie B.

One word, "wow"!
Since coming to Houston, all I have heard is "you gotta go to the Breakfast Klub"...but, I always ignored the missives because they also told me to eat a Kolache, go to the Beer House and try Pappasito's....all were just ok. Thus, when I was told the Breakfast Club has an hour wait and doesn't accept reservations, my response was oh no...I do not like breakfast well enough to be inconvenienced to that extent!
Boy, oh boy, was I wrong!!
My brudda was in town and the one thing I've learned is that you never tell Mike "no",,,so I got up a the crack of dawn...arrived at the BK at like 9 a.m. ...waited about 30 minutes...then entered food nirvana.
In honor of my sacrifice, I ordered the hash browns, the eggs and pork chops and grits...with a biscuit on the side. Lest you think I am a pig, I shared the meal with my sister! LOL
So, the food...oh, man, the food...the chops were fried to perfection, my over easy egg perfect and the hash browns were scrumptious...as well as the grits...and the biscuits...and the...yea, it was that kind of meal! Home cooking...yummy ....warm atmosphere...a terrific place to enjoy breakfast...my new favorite meal! -

I've been hearing great reviews about this place for a while and finally got around to checking it out this morning. I arrived a little after 8am and waited in line about 20 minutes before I was able to get indoors. It passes by before you know it, the staff will give you a menu while you're standing in line so you can make your selections before you go inside.
As soon as I sat down at the table, one of the staff members placed my order of wings and waffles on my table. And they were piping hot too, fresh from the kitchen! The waffle was good, light and fluffy with a dusting of powdered sugar on top. The wings were pretty good too....nice and juicy. The manager/owner came out at one point to greet his customers and told us how happy he was to have us show up today. Food was good and so is the customer service there. -

My wife and I ventured to The Breakfast Klub on our first visit to Houston. We had read good reviews on multiple websites and WE WERE NOT DISAPPOINTED! The Breakfast Klub was fantastic.
We got there early as we have read it can fill up quickly. We were greeted outside by a lovely woman, who handed us some menus and led us inside. We both ordered the Wings and Waffle - and it was delicious! The best fried chicken I have ever eaten (meat was juicy, batter was a little spicy), the waffle was light and tasty, and you could choose from multiple coffee dispensers to find your favorite taste. To top it off, the food was moderately priced and the staff were beyond friendly.
In all, I couldn't have been more impressed with this little restaurant and I will for sure be back with friends and family. It deserves all the good reviews, and then some. -

This is the place that everyone brings up when you're looking for a good breakfast. The line out the door will show you just how popular the place is. For me, it was just ok. The hot chocolate was rich and the french toast was good. My boyfriend got the famed wings and waffles; the wings were great but the waffle was meh.
Go on a weekday if you can manage because it's not entirely worth it if you wait forever. -

Best chicken, waffles, and grits. My favorite breakfast spot in Houston. It's worth the long wait. Staff are very friendly and the owner Marcus is usually there to greet and speak to customers.

Best breakfast I've ever had,hands down. The pictures which are shown here on yelp are true to life. There will definitely be a wait, I went on a Friday around ten and still had to wait about thirty minutes but is totally worth it. They even make their own lemonade which is worth a try. I ordered the chicken and waffles and it was like nothing I've ever tasted, if your used to church's or Kentucky fried chicken you must order this to open your eyes! No matter where you are in Houston this place is worth it! Just see for yourself!

The line may be out the door, around the building and down the street but when you get your breakfast you'll know why. Super fresh, hot, tasty, quality ingredients, perfectly cooked and without a shred of pretentiousness.
The hostesses are friendly, flirty and overall set a positive mood for everyone standing in line.
I'm hitting this place up again whenever I get back to Houston. -
Review from Heather F.

I love this place first and foremost because the people who run it really care and it shows. The Breakfast Klub was created about a decade ago by a former school teacher who uses recipes passed down from his school principal father.
Because of the tremendous amount of press it has received you will most likely find the line all the way around the sidewalk so get your smartphone ready to play Angry Birds because the wait will probably be at least 45 minutes to an hour.
Once inside you counter order, get a number, and take a seat. The inside isn't very large which contributes to the long line. There are traditional breakfast items (only breakfast on the weekends--during the week you also have lunch options) that include their famous chicken and waffles along with grits and biscuits.
If you fancy coffee you have several choices from light to dark roast. I liked the selection.
The food is amazing. You get large portions so you can probably take some home. My favorite part though is how the people who run this place really care. The first Saturdays of the month is designated "children's day" and they have a blow-up house for the kiddos along with live musical performances put on by the children and tables set up with stuff like finger paint. For those hot days when you are waiting in line they have a couple of jugs set out with fresh ice water. I would absolutely return to support such a loving, family orientated establishment. -

I hope this is the breakfast they serve in Heaven or else I don't want to go.
They serve perfect thick, crunchy, sweet, salty bacon that Jesus would eat. And Jesus was Jewish.
The grits are creamy, buttery, DELICIOUS! Eat them 1st & fast. After waiting too long, they will congeal.
The waffles. Oh.My.God the waffles. I'm a pancakes girl but I'll convert for the waffles here with strawberries on top & the hot syrup they offer.
Downside--unless you get their breakfast special, it can be expensive. I spent $20 on breakfast! But it was the best $20 I've ever spent.
I haven't experienced the wait out of the door bc I've always gone early (8AM) but even @ 8AM, it still steadily busy. -

Man, I never knew what the fuss was about this place. Now, I know. I've been here twice since last summer and I plan on going again this summer. I got the french toast my first time and it was just mediocre, but I got the Chicken and Waffles this past time and man was the chicken good! I thought the waffle was just okay, but the chicken was really good. My friend even asked if she could have another piece of my chicken! If I was more hungry, maybe I would have said no. My friend had the eggs benedict and I tried some. It was pretty good, but I liked mine better. I also heard the catfish was really good, but I dont think I can get that on my own because its a really big plate. I hope to go here again this summer!

I arrived at 1:30 pm. Great timing! No line. Huge portions of food. Everything was good. I ordered the chicken and grits and the biscuits and gravy. Both were good. I took two big boxes of food home. I read a review that said it was overpriced. I do not think so. Huge portions, good food, good and fast service, and a clean restaurant.

Chicken and chicken wings make me think of the west coast, and I feel like I'm in a Quentin Tarantino film where Samuel L. Jackson is taking me for "chicken and waffles." A friend took me here, and I've long heard about the legendary lines. However, at 8:00 a.m. on a Monday, the crowd was filling most tables, but there was no wait. Ordered the chicken and waffles and LOVED it. What a combination! Great waffles, light amount of syrup (I've moved away from syrup as I've gotten older), and the coffee was delicious as well.
I need to come back, try other things, but the atmosphere was warm and inviting, the food very delicious, and I tried something new!
A gem of the Houston dining scene! -

I've been here several times and don't understand what all the hype is about the food. The service is AMAZING but the food is just alright . The seasoning on the chicken wings is off and it tastes as if it was fried in weeks old oil. (same goes for the catfish) As for the grits, Im unimpressed. I will return on my next to Houston because It is an experience, and I like the vibe there as well as their coffee.

Review from Yvette A.
Go on a Sunday when the love from the music and people are intensified! We came after work on a drizzly morning, around 8:00am. About 10 feet before the door we were already greeted with a great smile and were handed menus. I so love the service.. They have the most kind-hearted staff I've encountered so early in the morning. Seriously. Some business owners can take a few tips from TBK.
I've loved their french toast for years but a few mornings ago I switched it up for an eggs benedict.. something I probably shouldn't have done. My palate doesn't do well with salty food and I just couldn't get passed it. The hollandaise was poured heavy, how I like it. The poached egg sits on sliced turkey and then on a biscuit (topped with bacon). I love that they substitute the ham for turkey and the English muffin for a biscuit. Don't get me wrong, TBK's benedict concept is really creative.. but not recommended for a palate like mine.. the salty dish was too intense. The meaty omelette was massive and served with buttered grits and a biscuit. Truly a breakfast best fit for a king (or queen). We eagerly ate off each others plate and still went home with leftovers! Never forget your appetite because TBK will be sure to load you up!Listed in: Break FAST and weigh LESS.

This place is ridiculous! We were 3 people are ordered 3 entrees. We thought it might be too much but somehow I left satisfied and feeling great (and I'm pretty small - 114 lbs) :p
Chicken and Waffle - Best fried chicken I've ever had.
Katfish and grits
Biscuits and gravy
We all shared the dishes. It was the best Saturday.
We arrived at 11:30am and sat down at around 12:45pm. Big line but the staff is super friendly and obviously I hang with badass people so chatting for over an hour with them is awesome so it didn't feel like it was eternal. Totally worth it. -

Ok, hands down this is the best "wings and waffles" that I have ever had. The grits are slap your momma good. I felt the catfish left a little to be desired, but every other aspect of this place is awesome.
You feel at home here, they welcome you with open arms. -

Wow, I loved my first experience here! I'm a huge breakfast eater & of course is always on the hunt for a good breakfast joint. After reading all the wonderful reviews that fellow yelpers had to say about this place, I finally made the trip out here from Sugar Land.
It's Easter Sunday and of course, there was a line. But the weather was so beautiful, I didn't mind waiting at all. And plus, the employees there were so pleasant & talked to you while you're waiting. We got to the front of the line after 30 minutes of waiting (not too bad for Easter Sunday!).
The inside of the restaurant was so adorable....reminds me a lot of breakfast/coffee shop back in New Orleans where I grew up. So I felt right at home. I ordered the wings & waffles. Wings were perfectly crisp & very well seasoned....loved! Waffle was soft & fluffy with a hint of sweetness...just the way I like it!
IMO, there is nothing to dislike about this place! I will be back again & again! -
Review from Wendy L.
I've been reading about this place for some time and I finally got around to trying it. I mean chicken and waffles? Who can resist! However I suggest going when you're not extremely hunger as the line can be daunting and time consuming, but it is well worth it! I definitely wouldn't come on a hot day either...definitely don't want to be all sweaty waiting outside in line.
The boyfriend and I ordered the chicken & waffle and catfish & grits plates. The catfish and grits were good but not mind blowing. However when it came to the chicken and waffle can I get an OMG in exclamations! The chicken wings were absolutely delicious! Some of the best I've ever had and I'm craving them right now! Crispy with good spice on the outside and super juicy on the inside! Just yum!
The place is counter service, that's why there's usually a line. They tend to take a while at the counter I'm sure to make sure when you order you can find a table. Once you order though, it's easy to find a table. Other than that enjoy some delicious chicken! -

The Breakfast Klub had all of the trappings of an "institution". It's been around for awhile and clearly has a strong following in Houston. The service was amazing. (I have to say, almost everywhere we went in Houston had great service. It was impressive.)
Maybe it was the build-up and the expectations, but I left thinking, "That was just okay." For all the raves about the chicken and waffles, I'd take Roscoe's in LA or Lo-Lo's in Phoenix any day. The chicken had a nice crunch, but the waffle was lacking. I should've gone with the catfish and grits, maybe? -

The food is impressive (break away from the chicken and waffles and try the green eggs and ham or one of the daily specials - all kinds of yum) the staff is just impressively warm and good. I have never had a less that good experience in this place. Now if they could just figure out how to remove all of the fat and calories...

You can't go wrong with chicken and waffles - the last time I had some this good was at Roscoe's in Inglewood. It's like their chicken has a little bit of crack sprinkled on top. You should come expecting a wait but it's worth it!

Love this place!!!! We go here every time we are in houston for breakfast. Rob found this place on "Top Ten." This place is like the free birds of college station. THere is always a line that wraps around the building. They are known in my book off course for their waffles and wings. And if you DON'T like grits, this place will change your mind. OMG so good and so far no other restaurant can match up to their challenge. Good service, great food and if you are lucky the owner stays close on weekends and mingles with the customers. When in houston, this place is worth the wait.

Does anyone in Houston work? At 10AM on a Wednesday, this joint was poppin'! Absolutely packed with folks. Very lively, soulful, and well... comforting. This homegrown institution is no doubt in a very "gentrified" area, reminiscent of my hometown Deep Ellum in Dallas.
OK, so I know that if you come to this joint to get your fill of the most important meal of the day that you MUST get chicken wings and waffles or the catfish and waffles. I understand this, but I mean I had JUST eaten another breakfast down the road. I wanted to drop in for something light and cheap. Neither attribute is present on the menu.
After looking at the outrageously large portions that every other diner had on their table, I went with a simple order of biscuits and gravy. On the menu, a side of dang gravy runs near $4!!! So, I thought it appropriate to just save the hassle of 1 biscuit+1 gravy for about $6 and order a double (full order) for $7.
It was outrageous. The gravy was as rich as a corn chowder, as salty as a chicken fried steak, and the biscuits just screamed butter. I practically seeped butter out of my pores after the meal here. The biscuit texture and flavor were indistinguishable in the pool of sausage gravy. The sausage also offered a nice spice; I wish I knew what kind they used. It was link sausage, but I don't mind. Traditional breakfast sausage does not HAVE to be the norm, especially with the amazingly dark yellow (first time I have had this color!) sauce of joy.
Breakfast Klub is indeed not a "klub" for the weak of stomach. You will be eating chicken wings and waffles in the early hours. You will pay out the wazoo for some breakfast, but you will leave in a food coma. No joke. -

went here on a thursday morning for brunch. the line was going out the door, but the staff kept the line going quickly by handing out menus guiding first-timers. the cashiers were very friendly and showed some true southern hospitality.
we ordered eggs benedict and wings and waffles.
the eggs benedict came with 2 eggs on top of ham and 2 tasty buttered english muffins.
the wings and waffles came with a whole waffle and 3 wing drumsticks and 3 wings. the wings were fried just right and were delicious!
i recommend going here on a odd hour and avoid the weekend rush as im sure this place is alot more crowded on weekends for brunch! this is the placeto goto in houston for southern fried chicken and brunch food! -

You will have to wait in line. There's a reason, though. The food is great.
I can't really explain it more than that. The scrambled eggs are made wet, to perfection, and the fried porkchops are tender. A kind soul let me know I wasn't allowed to eat the porkchops with a fork and knife though...remember that.
The waitstaff was kind, and the service swift. Eat this food. -

My boyfriend and I heard about this place from some friends. We recently moved to Houston and love trying unique places. We went on Saturday morning, and at first the line was a little intimidating. There was a station set up with ice water and music playing, so it made the wait pass fairly quickly. Once inside, we were greeted by employees who were friendly and seemed happy to be there. The ambiance of the place was great! The owner came up to make sure everything was satisfactory, which is something you don't see very often anymore. We both ordered wings and waffles. At first I was a little hesitant because fried chicken really isn't my thing. I was honestly blown away! The food was full of flavor and more than enough for anyone. We WILL be back! Can't wait to bring our friends and family when they come to visit!!!

I love this place, in particular some of the best wings n' waffles anywhere in the country. And although I'm very happy for the well-deserved success that the Breakfast Klub has had, part of me still wishes it was a local secret, as the only complaint that one can reasonably make is the wait--I've never gotten a seat in under 30 minutes.

The quick version is at the bottom but for those of you interested, here is the long version.
Some of you may think what I am about to say is crazy and it probably is, but as a general rule, I do not eat at any restaurant that misspells their name, i.e. Koffee House or Do-Nuts, etc. If they misspell the name of any establishment, I don't go! Today changed all that for me!
After 5 days in Houston and only a few good but no great meals, I decided I needed to change my rule about eating at a restaurant with a misspelled name and I headed to "The Breakfast Klub."
My wife and I arrived around 8:00 am on a Tuesday morning, no line, no waiting. We were greeted at the door by a pleasant woman named Mary. She explained the process (because this place is more like eating at your best friends great Aunts house than eating at a restaurant). We ordered and sat at our table. EVERYONE there was friendly, helpful and made us feel at home. I was torn between the Chicken and Waffles and the Catfish and Grits... I left it up to woman who took our order, she ordered me the Catfish. I was hesitant because I am not a big fan of fish, but with all the reviews I have read being so positive I decided "what the heck!" My wife ordered eggs, grits and bacon.
Our food was delivered quickly and with a smile! It looked pretty standard, what you would expect. I started with my grits first, still hesitant about the catfish, but after one bite of the grits, my hesitation went away! The grits were buttery goodness, sent down from the heavens for me to enjoy on a balmy Houston morning! One bite of the Catfish and I knew I was at the right spot! It was seasoned to perfection and cooked just right! I was honestly surprised that I enjoyed it as much as I did, but it was the BEST meal I had in Houston by far and the best breakfast I have had in a LONG time! It was more than enough food (I couldn't finish) everything was delicious and they even butter your toast on BOTH sides of the bread!
I met the owner, Marcus, on my way out. He was a relaxed, friendly, unassuming man with a caring attitude. I could tell EVERYONE cared about our experience and wanted us to have the best meal and service possible. Marcus has done an amazing job staffing and training and creating one of the very best places to eat! Marcus even put my mind at ease when I stated how bummed I was that I waited till the last minute to eat there, he said "now you have a reason to come back to Houston." He is right, I will be back and if I have my way I will be there each and every day! I can't wait to try the wings and waffles and to see Mary, Marcus and the rest of the staff at this amazing restaurant!
THE GOOD:
Staff was friendly and warm
Food was amazing
Atmosphere is relaxing
General dining concept makes you feel at home
THE BAD:
Parking was non existent
THE FOOD:
Thick toast - buttered on BOTH sides
Bacon - Thick and crisp
Grits - Buttery
Catfish - Seasoned and cooked to perfection
Coffe - GREAT! -

I love Breakfast Klub! Breakfast always brings people together!
So i've been here a few times with my boyfriend and some friends. He ALWAYS gets the Chicken n' Waffles which is delish!! I like to try different things. The first time I came here I got their special at that time, which was the Chicken fried steak plate. YUMMY!!! I wish it was on the menu but I didn't see it the next time I came. The second time I came I ended up ordering the Klub Benedict. I was very disappointed in this. There is too much spices on top that it over powered anything under it. The White Raspberry Mocha is fantastic!!! =]
Overall, love this place! -

Why 5 stars? Because it was a phenomenal experience all-around.
--- --- ---
I knew this was going to be a good time when I saw the line wrapped around the building. It wasn't too long of a wait (about 30 minutes) for what we were about to enjoy.
While in line, we were greeted by an employee walking around and entertaining those waiting to get in. She was so happy and sweet, you would have thought she had just won the Powerball. The happiness did not stop there. Every employee that we came across at The Breakfast Klub seemed genuinely thrilled to have us sharing their air space.
As for the food, I had the best Chicken and Waffles I've ever had. Since discovering this dish, I have ordered it anytime I see it on the menu. I've had some pretty good C&W in Florida, but none tops what The Breakfast Klub is serving. The chicken was incredibly fresh and meaty.
I can't imagine that there's a better breakfast stop in Houston if you have the time to spare for a possible line to get in.Listed in: 5 Stars!!!!!, The H

Hands down for this place!
I've tried the Klub Benedict and it didn't disappoint me.
The second time I came here, I had to try what they're famous for and that's CHICKEN AND WAFFLES! Now, I could say that I have the Breakfast Klub whole deal experience.
If you don't mind waiting in line then you can actually enjoy the whole experience but if you are going to complain about the long wait, then this place is not for you.
Love it! -

Still very good, but becoming a tad overrated IMO. The wings have noticeably shrank in size over the last couple years, but still as tasty as ever. We're in a recession still, I suppose. I would KILL or at least severely MAIM to know their secret fry mix. The catfish n' grits was a bit of a miss to me: grits were a little too runny and bland and catfish is catfish; pretty hard to screw it up. I really enjoyed the special dish they ran one day. I believe it was crawfish ettoufe (sp?) over rice + catfish + TEXAS TOAST. A man's meal. Lunch time rush seems to have died down a bit since we had a less than 10 min wait before ordering.
They get their fair share of celebrities here as well. I believe just the other day, Manny Pacquiao (or perhaps a good-looking lookalike) graced the establishment with his presence, and immediately was recognized by one of the staff. Unfortunately he didn't think to take a picture with me, I mean Manny. -

Best breakfast joint in town, hands down. The chicken and waffles is the best thing I have ever had and never disappoints. I also love their coffees that they offer, going from light to heavy; I always find myself drinking every single one of them. Be sure to get there early otherwise you will wait in line. Staff is always fun to talk to and they are all full of energy. Also love the art that they bring in and the occasional deejay.

This review is for 9:00am breakfast on a Friday morning..
The service is great and the staff here is super friendly, but unfortunately I come from a place where Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles is http://bomb.com. I expected more from this place because of their reviews, but maybe I just have a different pallet. This place is truly all southern food.
It was busy when we got here, but luckily we didn't have a wait! We walked right up to the counter to place our order. We ordered the chicken and waffles - which were really soft and the chicken was OK.. the spices seemed to have more pepper than anything else. We also go to the breakfast klub sandwich which has eggs, slices of turkey, bacon, and ham on sourdough bread - it was good and the portion is huge! .. but again it's truly southern.
I really wanted to like this place and was excited to try it because of its awesome yelp reviews, but I honestly wouldn't come back.. -

You know, I actually wanted it to rain the day i went to the Breakfast Klub because on sunday mornings, the line would be winding, wayy out the door. But since it was raining, the line was STILL out the door, but luckily I could stand under the extension without getting wet. Yup, it was damnnn worth it!
This place is deserving of all the hype. I mean, any place that can make chicken and waffles like THAT.... the chicken was cooked PERFECTLY. cripsy, flavorful (could have been a bit spicier, more cajuny, in my opinion) but still so amazing and paired with a waffle, strawberry, and maple syyzurp, be ready for a mouthgasm.
My companions that day also ordered catfish & grits and the green omelet. I loved the catfish, the grits were a little bland and not dressed up. The green omelet was very hearty and had all the right flavors, but I wouldn't order it again. You just can't go wrong with the fried chicken and waffles........ you just can't !!!!
The decor was very soulful and eccentric. Loved the original artwork on sale. It brought out the fourth ward, Houston texas vibe. The staff -- very friendly, the owner is usually walking around so it was nice to meet him.
Also, try the fresh squeezed juices. The prices were a taddd much for everything except the chicken waffles. I don't think the omelet should have been over $10 bucks. However, the portion sizes are very generous and you probably will end up getting a to go box.
You will now find me here more often on sunday mawnings. -

Really good breakfast. Be ready to wait in line... this place is popular. I had the Klub Benedict and it was great. Big portions and very rich/flavorful food.
Will probably try the waffle and wings if I ever find myself eating here again.
