All searches for a breakfast/brunch place led us here. We were staying in Monterey, and when looking for recommendations this place kept popping up. There's ample parking in the plaza, so it should not be a concern. We went on a weekday morning, so it wasn't crowded but the looking at how at the familiarity between the staff and some of the customers, it seemed like a local favorite. The staff was very sweet, and place seemed very chirpy, the place reminded of a good old diner. All the staff was very sweet. We got the Quintals omelette, and it was my first time trying refried beans in an omelette and it was definitely something we'd try again. We also got French toast with fresh fruits and it was delicious too. read more

It was a nice little place to have breakfast or brunch. It is a little small, so I'd totally expect a waiting list for those busy times. Because we got there closer to lunch, I opted for a double burger over the breakfast options. I asked for medium rare, but they definitely overcooked the temperature of the meat. The burger was good enough, but didn't blow me away. Nothing groundbreaking, just a burger at a small local joint. The garlic fries were just alright. The potato salad was just ok, tasted more like a mass produced one rather than homemade, if I had to guess. The breakfast stuff was alright, based on reactions. read more

Waitress greeted us right away and they have coffee outside while you wait! We didn't have to wait long, even with the place being packed! Server was on us right away and had menus at our table! Servers came by a couple of times to check to see if we were ready to order! SO many great options! The biscuits and spicy gravy was off the hook! I actually had it on the side of my steak and eggs! I was TOTALLY happy with just the biscuits and gravy! But everything was great! Coffee was strong and the place was really nice! Had that old school diner charm! All of the servers were attentive and friendly and everyone had a smile! They LOOKED like they wanted to be there, and they all hustled! Great spot for breakfast if you're in the area! We'll be back! read more

Service was quite friendly. The server was accommodating to our special requests. The food was prepared as we liked it. Bacon was crispy and the omelette was a good size. The whole place was subtly decorated in 250 year patriotic theme from the carnations on the tables to the banners on the windows. read more

Stop by for breakfast on our way to Monterey. We decided to stop here instead of one in Morgan Hill as we wanted to be closer to our destination. We pick Breakfast club as we thought the omelet would be same as other location. Place was busy for a Wednesday. GF got the veggie omelet added ham and cheese and I got ribeye steak as I been craving steak and eggs. Omelet we like the stuff mix in with the egg then fried. Not just fold it all in. Might as well had the veggies on the side. It was ok but disappointed as we were expecting it to be like the other location. I got the steak as I asked server if it was good and she said super good and huge So was excited only to be very disappointed. I asked for medium and it was over cook probably because it was super thin. My pancake did make up for it. Went for pancake in stead of toast. Also first cup of coffee was not hot. read more

This place was busy busy. We waited not too long, but got sat in a corner so our service was real slow. Took forever to even ask for napkins and silverware. The Tuna Melt was basic and the fries tasted like they came straight out of a bag from Walmarts frozen section. My son got Chicken and Waffles which wasn't bad, but the hash he got was basic and the bacon was hard as a rock. I couldn't believe they even brought it out to us like that. The pricing seems standard like other breakfast places, but is definitely not worth it for the quality that we got. read more

The food and the service were the only good part about this place. The food was good but the Home Fry's were both Undercooked and Overcooked. The folks that worked there were kind and fast, so I have no complaints about that. But, the place was very full and chaotic, it was loud. I would recommend for the food and service but not for the ambiance. read more

I thought this was a pretty traditional breakfast type place. They have all the usual offerings for breakfast and the setting is clean and comfortable inside. Service was also good. I thought the prices were a little high, but not terribly so. I ordered the Traditional French Toast which goes for $13.95. They gave me three large slices of french toast. Most other places typically cut the slices in half and give you six pieces, but honestly that's just to make you think you are getting a larger serving. The french toast was good and I have no complaints. read more

This place was so good and what really made it great was the staff. After waiting at another place for almost an hour in Monterey, my friends and I decided to come here instead. We signed up and waited along with a vast number of people. While we did have to wait a little more they asked if we wanted to sit outside, a lot people hesitated cause it was chilly n windy but their outside tent had heating and the wind was blocked. We joked with our server not to forgot us since we were outside, and she reassured us that they wouldn't. And they deliver. Staff were incredibly attentive, always checking in on us, dropping coffees and drinks and handing us these large creamers (that made me laugh). Everyone of the staff that was attending other tables outside always checked in. They were wonderful :) As for the food, it's legit. Out of all the food I had that weekend it was hands down the best. And the prices were perfect after being in Monterey and Carmel. My friends n I split a pancake that was hella good on its own with no syrup, topped with berries. I got a chile verde omelet that just hit right. Legit the best I've had as well. Pork was tender and the verde sauce was delish. I would def drive down here just to eat here again. read more

Stopped by The Breakfast Club while visiting Monterey Bay and loved it. The vibe was fun and laid-back, and the service was friendly from the start. I had a mimosa and an omelet, and both hit the spot. The omelet was fresh, cooked well, and had plenty of filling. The mimosa was crisp and just the right start to a relaxing brunch. One of my favorite little touches was the cute coffee cups with the café's name on them which was such a fun detail that made it feel special. Overall, this is a great place for breakfast or brunch if you're in the area. Good food, good drinks, and a nice way to start the day. read more

Wow! A short wait on a Sunday to get a seat, quick service to get drink orders in and delivered to the table and the kitchen staff is quick to get the food out once orders go in! The chile verde omelette was phenomenal! I was still thinking about it the next day! A classic hash brown order and biscuits and gravy on the side, created a filling meal! I also had a bite of the cinnamon roll pancakes which were delicious as usual. Great amount of seating in a nice open space, friendly staff, great food! read more

Food was great! Service was lacking so I knocked off a star. We found a seat quickly, although they were pretty busy, with our drinks brought by one the guys who cleaned off our table. It took a bit for our server to come take our orders, where I was surprised he showed up in a hoodie, had a very relaxed approach. Not that this is a fancy place but that threw me off a bit. The food came out quickly where I ordered the Veggie egg benedict and my guy had the Chili verde omelet, with substituted Cinnamon roll pancake instead of fries. The food came out very quickly and the girl dropping off the food brought us salsa we requested. Both our meals were really good, cooked well, especially the Chili verde omelet! The cinnamon roll pancake was very sweet but delcious. Our server never came back to check on us, although we saw him walk by multiple times and unfortunately seems to be common with service these days. I was able to get the attention of another worker who brought me a box and asked him if he could find our server for our check where he showed up soon after. We would definitely be back because the food was so good and I highly recommend the Chili verde omelet, as has a lot of flavor and a decent portion of meat. As far as service I wouldn't have high expectations as this place has a "turn and burn" feel to it. read more

Had wonderful late morning breakfast for 3 of us. Seating was a bit unorthodox but quick as we caught the attention of someone at the back counter who held up menus and we just pointed to an open table and met them there. The food offered included breakfast and lunch items. The choice generally were what you'd expect ranging from a lighter fare offering of choose your own toppings oatmeal to omelettes, egg dishes and chicken fried steaks along with pancakes, etc. I had the Italian omelette with sourdough toast and hash browns. I'd never had an Italian omelette, and found it savory and fulfilling. Another of our table had Ron's omelette and described it as with bacon, tomato, cheese which sounded like a version of a California omelette. Regardless of the name, it was delicious. Definitely a good experience for fast service and good breakfast options for us read more

Came here to the Breakfast Club for some American Breakfast. Wow, very good comfort food. Shanon, our waitress was amazing with that breakfast club smile and knowledge of menu and quality of service. The ambiance is chill, I did not see children, but look like friends and family. Like Cheers, where everyone knows your name. When in the Manny Bay area, I will definitely make this might go to spot for breakfast.. read more

Will definitely be going back again... and again!!! read more

Today at about 1 PM I was in the Monterey Seaside area and had an occasion to stop by and try the breakfast club. we went in and chose a table and our server. Tia was very nice and got my wife started with some bacon and eggs with toast and hashbrowns and a large orange juice as well as a side biscuit. I started with bowl, no sugar no milk with blueberries, strawberries and raisins. It was nice and thick and I really enjoyed it. I even took about half of it to go. In addition I had the turkey avocado eggs Benedict with the side of home fries with vegetables. And finally, I got a waffle. Well, done to split with my wife. Everything was delicious the eggs, Benedict, the waffle the oatmeal, the bacon and eggs and the biscuit. I would recommend the breakfast club and quiet in there spread out open and the service is excellent. You could tell it had a local vibe and tourist vibe so some of the people were regulars . read more

Always good , need a big appetite very friendly and accommodating, always good experience

I'm giving them 4 stars only because my family loves this place and comes here often. However, I didn't enjoy it as much as they did. This is a super casual breakfast bar, great for large family gatherings. One thing I didn't love about the place is that on the screens they display advertisements on someone's dog breeding business. I'm against breeding dogs because eventually, so many of those dogs end up in shelters. Anyway, moving on to the food and service. I ordered the veggie omelette and it was full of green peppers and it was pretty watery inside. It wasn't much of an omelette, it was more like an egg tortilla filled with veggies. It wasn't salted at all, I had to put a bunch of garlic salsa from a bottle on the table to give it some flavor. The house potatoes were nearly mashed potatoes. The service was good, they brought us coffee right away, the food came out quickly and they checked on us to see if we needed anything often. Very friendly! read more

This breakfast spot was bizzzzzay! They have free coffee outside for people waiting for a table And the wait wasn't long. This staff hustles! They are very fast and friendly. The food is on point as well. Check them out! read more

Service above average. Quickly seated, waiter on top of getting order in correctly, and busser on clearing plates right away. Lively ambiance with four tops spaced right. I ordered the corned beef hash and it was very tasty with potatoes and mushrooms mixed in. More potato than corned beef though. Scrambled egg was good. Fruit salad was okay with some underripe fruit. Biscuit and gravy okay. Definitely one of the best places I have been out for breakfast in a long time. Popular spot. I recommend it. read more

I've dined here twice and on both occasions the service has been great! Friendly staff, quick to get seated, drinks and food come out quickly despite them being busy on weekends! I've had their classic breakfast and it is all so delicious and fresh. Their cinnamon roll French toast is a must try, it's on the sweeter side so I'd recommend a half order but it is crispy on the outside, warm and soft on the inside and it's got a cinnamon swirl and nuts - a must try! Their biscuits and gravy were okay, I think the gravy could've been more flavorful, the biscuits were good. This is a friendly and inviting restaurant with great ambiance for a big group or a nice morning date - friendly service and great food, a must try when you're in the area!! read more

My husband and I tried it for the first time and we we're so disappointed. I ordered their huevos rancheros with hash browns and it lacked so much flavor, not even salt and pepper could save the dish. My husband ordered the 2 egg breakfast with steak and still, it lacked so much flavor. We honestly lost our appetite and headed off to KFC instead for some drumsticks LOL. As a Hispanic woman who grew up with homemade huevos rancheros this is the whitewashed version of it :( "It taste like cafeteria or hospital food," according my husband. Sorry guys we tried to like it, god bless. read more

We dropped off a car for service and had some time to kill and my Yelp! search led us to The Breakfast Club. We were greeted warmly and were immediately taken in by the vibe. Business was booming, and the staff wore smiles as they attended to the customers. We both ordered the "Ken's" omelets, a delicious blend of Ortega chilis, tomatoes, avocado, cheese, and sour cream. It was spectacular. Hashbrowns were great and not at all greasy. My well-done side of bacon was on-point, as was the side pancake. Even the coffee was good. We're definitely coming back! read more

I don't normally post negative experiences because it could always be a one off from the norm BUT yesterday morning the service at this place was bad. We put in an order (which came SUPER fast... that's a plus) The food was pretty good nothing too special but it was a simple breakfast. The restaurant was cute and had plenty of seating. We finished eating and this is where the service fell short. As we were waiting to pay and leave the server looked at us a few times. Went to other tables to cashed them out and then proceeded to go to the bar and have full blown conversations with other people. I waited about 5 mins or so. I ended up finding another server to pay our bill so we could leave. I don't remember her name but I hope the manager or someone has a tally with her. Treat all your customers with same respect. Unfortunately we won't be back read more

Let's talk about the food. The staff is ON IT. They are quick, efficient, nice and know how to turn and burn tables. I love when a staff stays on top of things. The food was mediocre. Unfortunately my experience with the brunch/breakfast in Monterey continues to fail. The biscuits and gravy were bland and awful. They said they were spicy and maybe had three red pepper flakes in the gravy itself. Needless to say it wasn't spicy. Monterey for the love of all that is good please if you're going to cook Southern a recipe find an honest legit recipe. Try it so you know how it's supposed to taste instead of winging it. The hash browns were as good as you can expect. The eggs and pancakes were fine but nothing to write home about. I didn't personally try the sausage so I can't speak on that. read more

This was overall an amazing experience. From being seated, placing our order to receiving our food this was a great experience. We will definitely be heading there again and I recommend you go too! read more

I ordered the breakfast burrito which was very good. The hash browns looked pretty pathetic though. My wife ordered the New York steak medium, it had 0 flavor an was cooked well done. The steak just looked pathetic in general. Small and super thin. She also ordered fries and they brought out fried potatoes. Service was fast and it's a nice atmosphere. read more
