The breakfast club is a great restaurant always great food and ambience. During this visit, my friends and I decided to sit at the bar because it was crowded so I definitely recommend making a reservation. Our service at this visit, however wasn't the greatest because they were very busy so our food did take a little over an hour. But the food made up for the weight. Some of us got Bronzino wings and mac & cheese. I highly recommend the Bronzino. It is always delicious. I got the wings for the first time and I would also recommend the mac & cheese very flavorful the chefs do such a great job!

Unfortunately, this was ANOTHER terrible experience at a black owned establishment we had a reservation for 5pm for 12 people. We were sat quickly but then sat at the table for 25 minutes before being approached by anyone. The young man serving us told us he was "just informed that we were his table." We had two infants and asked multiple times for high chairs to accommodate them. That took forever as well. Strike one. At that time, we began to put in our food & drink orders. After about another 20 minutes, our server began to bring our drinks two at a time. Slowly. Several of us waited 10+ minutes for a beer & our cocktails. Strike 2. Cocktails were pretty good though. Now to the food. The food came out two/three plates at a time. Guests at our table began to eat and go on to finish their entrees before the other half of our group were brought their food. We weren't told until we began to make a fuss and ask for a manager (2nd time asking for him) that they were "out of grits" we were waiting on a Seafood Grits & one order of Oxtail & Grits.. Now the seafood grits were really good, no lie! But unfortunately the Oxtail And Grits was unseasoned and the oxtail was tough. We sent back a kids order of blueberry pancakes TWICE due to them being undercooked on the inside. STRIKE THREE! Now we're pissed that we even wasted our time & money here! We had to ask for syrup for chicken and waffles, pancakes...you know... THE STUFF MOST PEOPLE PUT ON THOSE TWO ITEMS! Our server barely EVER came to check on us knowing DAMN WELL we were NOT happy from the jump. Overall, this establishment needs to do better and will get a solid 2 out of 5 stars because this FIRST TIME experience was completely awful! The manager did try to "make it right" by offering us a round of shots but chile we didn't want them damn shots! He then offered us a discount, which was a nice gesture and much appreciated because NO ONE felt they deserved any of our coins! This place is OVERRATED & OVER PRICED & UNDER STAFFED! The staff is all children under 23 years of age doing a terrible job! SAVE YOUR MONEY AND GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!!!!!!!!!!! I'M TELLING YOU.. There's plenty other establishments with better food, service & prices.

First impression: 1. Sad that we had 3 out of 6 people at the restaurant but that wasn't enough to get seated. We were told 60% had to be there. This required us to stand in a very small area near the door, which opened repeatedly, of course, to let cold air in. Our 4th person came in and we were golden. 2. The restaurant is small but cute, with a bar as soon as you walk in, behind a glass wall you can see through. Service: SO friendly BUT just as we read about - it is SO slow. We put our drink orders in and waited SO long to get them. The 6th person came in and waited no less than 20 minutes to get approached for her order. This is problematic since we were told there was a 2 hour cap on the time we had for our table. Throughout our time there, we waited and waited. We waited so long that we flagged down other servers. Then the food came out to half of our group and the rest of us waited again. Mine was last. Sigh. I'm happy I ordered apps because I would've been SO hangry. Food:1. Wings - Nice, large, crispy and flavorful. 2. Deviled eggs with shrimp - You get 3 of the largest, crispiest, flavorful shrimp. The egg was just fine against the standout shrimp. 3. Seafood Mac n Cheese - Mac was super cheesy and cooked well but all the cheese may have overpowered the seafood a bit. Definitely enough to share which I'd suggest instead, then order something else to share. 4. Cake - Warm, buttery, with whipped cream. This was so surprisingly good. My mocktail was cute and delish. All in all, I'd go back for the food and expect to wait. Better yet, I hope they improve their processes back in the kitchen or with the serve staff. I'm not sure where the problem is, but it could definitely be improved and this place would be a 5.

On a spur of the moment MLK Day date, we decided to scratch another bookmark off our list and take a 50min ride to Downtown Silver Spring. The Breakfast Club is right on the perimeter of bustling Downtown Silver Spring, which is a plus because parking is actually reasonable. Once you walk in, you notice "The Breakfast Club" doesn't look anything like its name and is actually a very nice looking RESTAURANT, unlike your normal pancake joint...LOL. I had a few minutes to burn solo, so I figured I'd take advantage of the HH and get a quick drink. After several minutes of watching at least 5 servers/bartenders congregate behind the bar, one finally came over and informed me, sorry, our HH is Wed-Fri only. Well, that's not what your website says?? Yeah, I keep telling management the website is wrong and they haven't changed it... Hmmmm! At this point, I was kicking myself in the butt for making this trip. I passed on the drink since the GF had now joined me. We were promptly seated at our reservation time, however, it took another several minutes before our server came to greet us. Guess what, it was the same bartender who told me there was no HH.. he's doing dual duty... Hmmmmm!!We were ready to order, so let's start with the shrimp topped deviled eggs. When they arrived, I was a little blown. For a whopping $17, you get three egg halves and three fried shrimp.. are you kidding me? Can we at least get the other half a egg so that we don't have to split that poor little third half and one additional shrimp for that $17 price tag, especially since they were sooooo dang goooood.. geeezus!!The meal that redeemed "The Breakfast Club" and pulled this review up from a 2 to 4 stars, was the lamb chops. Lawd Have MERCY, they hit on all cylinders on this one. Massive amounts of chops and Mac and Cheese along with broccolini. All for $40, I could not believe it. The lamb literally ranked up there with Ruth's Chris in size and taste. I could not stop talking about it. Her breakfast burger was very good but that da*n lamb was delicious. Does "The Breakfast Club" have some things they need to tweak, YESSS, but please don't mess with the lamb, it absolutely saved you with my review!!!

My bestie and her husband are foodies too! When they went to The Breakfast Club, I was quick to get a call and her statement was, "Ermahgerd, you have to go to The Breakfast Club". My Big Spoon is always up for a new place so he made the reservation and off we went to see what all the hype was about! The Good: Street Parking and a parking lot is close so we lucked out! No issues on parking.Causal Dining - You don't have to dress up. Ambiance is chill. Food is actually REALLY good! Some hits some misses! But overall Good! The Bad: Service lacked. They needed more wait staff. A manager presence. Something. Everyone looked lost except for the girl cleaning the tables who was so sweet! Waiter was nice but he was also the bartender so we rarely saw him. We had needs that never got met, we needed more silverware, I ended up just getting up and stealing the ones on the empty table. I wanted ranch and more lettuce, but the waiter came way too late to check in on us. Advertised Hours for Happy Hour (online) are not accurate, the waiters own words, "sorry what's on the website is very wrong." Allegedly HH is only Wed-Friday. Sigh. The Ugly: Small Bar Area and overall small restaurant.Seems to be a younger demographic of patrons.Portion size of the deviled eggs is wild. 3 deviled eggs? Three? One, Two, Three? Who gets the third? Rock, paper, scissors and winner gets the third? You all couldn't afford to give guest the other half of the third egg? Very disappointing.I called my bestie today and her sentiments are equal, good food, so-so on service, a little over priced for some items, and definitely a trendy place for the young kids. Would I come back? It's a long drive from the city or from the boondocks. It's likely a one and done for me unless the Big Spoon intends to come back,I wouldn't. 3.5 stars for me.....Let's get into it! Appetizer: Deviled Eggs - Really delicious! Those shrimp are amazing! Burger: I asked for a fried/medium well done egg and got it over hard, it was good but not the best, it had literally 3 pieces of spinach. It needed something. Flavor was good. Fries were awesome! Lamb Chops: He said OMG so many times and smacked his lips so much I got a little jealous of the lamb chop. It was delicious he said! Flavor was amazing, he shared!Drinks: Great! Another Bookmark Checked Off!

Four of us met at The Breakfast Club this past summer while in town and it was truly a vibe! Once we got seated and settled in at our table, I understood why another colleague suggested our friend not bring her baby. It isn't the most family friendly, depending on when you go and we were there during the height of Sunday brunch. It can get very lively as can the crowd, especially once the adult beverages get to flowing. The table setup can be a little tight for high chairs or carriages also - not ideal.The service was good, the live music was amazing and the food was pretty tasty also! The cocktails were aesthetically pleasing and flavorful with tons of options. The menu is full of great fare to choose from. We shared some delicious wings to start. Everything from the breakfast sandwiches & french toast, to the mac n cheese, to the oxtail & grits and breakfast potatoes was yummy, served hot and in large enough portions. I'll have to remember which cocktails we had but I feel like my second one had sorrell in it - Fenton Street Evening. The first one was likely Mint Prohibition or Dreaming of Paradise.We were able to find close by parking on the street while our friends parked a block or two down the road. Our wait wasn't horribly long. We enjoyed the energy of the spot and are overall happy we went. When traveling domestically I like going to spots that I know I can't get in my own home city so this was a great choice. Check out The Breakfast Club if you like live jazz/ RnB and good brunch food. You'll also be supporting a black owned business!

The food is amazing!!!!! The oxtails and grits were seasoned perfectly. The chicken and French toast was pretty good as well. The staff is amazing. I don't remember the name of the drink but my server recommended it and it was good. It's kinda small inside and there is usually a wait if you don't sit at the bar. There is a free parking garage a block away which is super convenient since this restaurant is in downtown Silver Spring. I can't wait to go back.

I've gone to the breakfast club twice and am blown away each time! Somebody is putting their foot in this food every time! I've gone for happy hour and early lunch. They know the secret to make a well flavored and tinder oxtail the oxtail friend rice was PERFECT! The rice has so much flavor and texture alone that the oxtails just set it off! The lamb was cooked almost to perfection, but it was flavored well! The happy hour menu was off the chain. You HAVE TO HAVE the oxtail eggrolls and the crab fritters 11/10! The drinks across the board are fantastic. As well. Servers are polite and laidback. There was no real wait time for seating or food, but you are able to make reservations. The vibe inside is very aesthetic and modern with pops of color and class. Make it a habit to visit often!

From the beginning of my visit, I knew this place would be one of my least enjoyable dining experiences to date. The staff is very uncouth, swearing and speaking loudly at the bar. I'm all for expressions of joy as a form of creative resistance but this was a bit much. For an establishment that prides itself on having cocktails, I was aghast when my Bloody Mary arrived in a plastic cup. Furthermore, the drink was a purchased pre-mix. It was giving Costco, and in truth I would have preferred a Costco premix. I don't think I've had a worse Bloody Mary. Based on the menu and pricing, I guess I just expected something more in terms of service ware and presentation. I ended up sitting at the bar, because the host informed me that there were reservations which meant I couldn't be seated immediately. The irony is, the same tables that were empty at the start of my encounter in this place, remained so through the conclusion of my meal. The best part of my experience was the chicken and French toast. It was edible. For a $75 breakfast, I walk away knowing better. When the experience starts off poorly, just walk away.
