I have been going to this place for years, and I decided to go back a few months ago for a morning breakfast treat. It's a very short drive from where I live, and there's plenty of on street free parking nearby. This time I got an omelette, off of their regular menu. It was a fine omelette, though a far cry from what I have gotten in other places in Boston. The service was very good, as usual, and this time, the wait was much shorter for breakfast than I was used to here. I actually needed to change one of the items (substituted tomatoes for one of the starchier items that the omelettes usually come with and I had to pay extra for them.) It was a small amount, so I didn't mind that much, but at the same time, it was NOT a plus. As it turned out, between tax, tip, the extra amount for the simple substitution pushed the value up towards what I have paid at the Park Plaza and the Sheraton downtown for much, much better fare. As this is still one of my favorite nearby breakfast spots, I am still keeping this review on the heavy positive side. The one star off is for an average egg dish at a high price. Also: the coffee was good enough. Just not impressive. Will definitely still be back.
Always hits the spot if you're craving some breakfast! I bring out of town visitors here for a breakfast before touring the city. Keeps us full and satisfied. Potatoes are AWESOME. Eggs Benedict is always good. Get a shake! They're huge, fun and yummy. I come back here often.
While I love me a good greasy classic diner, the Breakfast club is a step up in quality. The food is excellent with a funky retro atmosphere. Prices are a bit higher than a small diner but definitely worth it. Eggs are cooked to perfection everytime. Classic French toast better than anywhere in the area. My preferred diner, I only wish it was within walking distance to my apartment.

Would I go back: Yeah I’d give it another try since there are other things on the menu that looked scrumptious.
Food:
Chicken and Waffles - 3/5 - A different twist on the dish. The sauce had a kick to it. The waffles were a little soft as opposed to crispy and I would have preferred the chicken to be whole pieces rather than shredded.
Service: 3/5 - Standard service.
Ambiance: 3/5 - A diner atmosphere which was nice and casual.
