The Breakfast Club at Midtown, San Jose CA

Never go for dine in. Everything is pretty much chaos until you get your table. C'mon just get a freakin reservation system! You will be met with the most unfriendly people at the entrance.

Went there once during week, food was great, no issues.

So I get up early one weekend, walk down and get us on the list for around 10AM. I proceed to get he whole family up for Sunday brunch, no small task as they like to sleep in a bit. I'm a bit excited to show my girlfriend and son the new place right up the street that's pretty good. The staff there proceeded to ruin the entire morning. It took 15 minutes to order (no waitress), then once food came out they forgot a part of two of the meals. I eat a bit of mine then wait on the rest, figuring it was coming. 20 minutes later I am still waiting, with a now cold plate of food and an 8 year old who has finished his meal wanting to leave. The waitress never checked on us or anything after the food was delivered, and interesting enough, in the ten minutes I was looking for wait staff, not a single person came by our table outside to flag. We complained, left the restaurant of our now cold meals and left. Typical California garbage restaurant service, hospitality does not exist at the Breakfast Club (nor any mid to upper mid level restaurant in California). Stay away from this restaurant if you don't want your meal ruined by inadequate and inexperienced staff.

Not a bad place. A friend recommended and wanted to try it for a long time. Usually the place is busy.waited more than an hour to get a place to sit.but was little disappointed when the meat in the sandwich turned out to be hard like rubber.

Be prepared to wait! Got here around 11am on a Friday and waited an hour to get seated for two people. This place isn't a diner so it's smaller in size but had ample seating nonetheless. I ordered the steak huevos rancheros and bf ordered the sausage and eggs breakfast. I also ordered their peach alcohol drink which was quite nice, it would've been perfect if the orange juice was chilled as I had to add ice cubes from my water to satisfy my preference. The breakfast was quite good and I adored my server as she was super helpful in giving recommendations and was overall a delight.

The only downside was the feeling of cleanliness in this place. The women's restroom had no toilet paper and was not checked on in the last hour or so and had a pile of paper towels and tp on the floor. Also there were a few flies inside that almost landed on our food a few times.

On my way to continue the independent budget spending I found in social secu5ly info.thanks starkey

Oh man Benedict's, Benedict's, Benedict's. And they have this awesome option to choose 2, so you can have both the one's you can't quite decide between. And now it's time to talk on the Bloody Marys. The go to OG Bloody Mary is a go to for a reason but then on top of it, is bacon so get one. But for the second.take an adventure they got lots of fun options, I only tried two so I'll be sure to revisit next time in the area.

I couldn't finish my pancakes but it was so delicious honestly and enjoying it with friends made it even better. There is a decent amount of wait time though. 9/10

We have wanted to go for a long time. Finally did it. It was labor day so they were super busy. I ordered quickly basically having a random omelette. I ordered the Portuguese. Pretty awesome. I can't wait to go back. Full bar too. That's right. Who has that? These guys do. That's who.

Service no matter how busy has always been amazing. Great menu and portion sizes! A must if you haven’t enjoy this little spot!

A definite for brunch! I ordered pickup and they were ready in less than 15 minutes during busy time. Packaging of the food was splendid, especially the trio platter! The portion sizes are generous and food tasted delicious. Will definitely be back when I'm in town. P.s check out the togo photos! P.s. S the rose garden is nearby with picnic tables, why wait in line when you can order to go and enjoy the garden? !

The reviews are true - the wait is an hour on the weekends. *BE PREPARED TO WAIT*

Came here at exactly 9: 30 am on a Saturday to get brunch with a friend, party of 2. When I arrived, it looked like 10 parties were already waiting right up at front. We didn't get seated until 10: 23 am, and waitress was so busy she didn't get to take our orders until 10: 31 am.

Not going to lie, the wait sucked. Luckily I was in good company because I was meeting up with my friend and we had a lot to catch up on. But if I was waiting with someone who was not good company, it would have been a rough and never-ending wait. The hostess gives you their menu right when you are seated (greatly appreciated-seems like a given but it's not based on my experience eating at brunch places elsewhere)!

The Menu: LOTS of options. Literally something for everyone-vegan, vegetarian, meat-eaters, etc. As a vegetarian myself it was nice to see so many choices!

What we ordered:
- Strawberry Waffle ($13)
- Chocolate Chip Pancakes ($11)
- Gorgonzola Scramble with Hash Brown and Coffee Cake ($15) Note-this dish came with a free cup of coffee!
- Fresh squeeze orange juice ($4)

The food was delicious! 5/5. HUGE portions, really fresh and yummy. The waitress seemed very nice, too. They input your orders via a tablet/iPad? I wasn't paying too much attention exactly what form of electronic device it was. We paid via credit card.

Strawberry waffle - a lot more strawberry glaze than I anticipated.but I enjoyed the maple syrup, whipped cream and slice of watermelon it was served with.

Orange juice - REALLY fresh (it truly did taste freshly squeezed!) What a great price-a large glass for only $4!

My friend ordered the chocolate chip pancakes and gorgonzola scramble. She enjoyed it! Of course, she couldn't finish it and had to take it all home haha. Our waitress was so kind to get us to-go boxes right away! (Some places take a while, but not here!)

Really enjoyed the food! The wait just was long. Overall, it did feel like the hostess was very organized. Perhaps in the future this restaurant should implement electronic text messaging wait lists or phone calls so that customers can leave/do other activities while waiting. If you miss hearing your name being called. I mean, that's it. We stood right up at the front of the restaurant the entire hour like everyone else and waited for our turn to be seated.

Oh.one last thing.parking was a struggle. I did, however, get SUPER lucky with neighborhood street parking. My friend parked in the garage-it happened to be free. If you want to avoid the crowd, perhaps arrive right when they open or be prepared to wait!

In conclusion
5/5 for the food
3/5 for the wait-it felt LONG
= overall 4/5

My fiancé and I were told the wait time to be seated was over an hour (), but that we could sit at the bar/communal table as soon as seats were available, which is what we did.

The service was good and the food was delicious, however if it weren’t for the option to sit at the shared table/bar we would not have waited.

Everyone seems to love the food here. Be ready for a 1 hour wait on the weekends. No reservations taken.

I usually have positive experiences here when I dine in, but today my takeout order was horrible. I had burned hash browns, burned potatoes. They really should have better quality control for to go orders

Food was okay. Service needs improvement for dine-in, more specifically, the wait list. Their staff write down your name and your time of arrival, but the way they deal with priority is unorganized: they have multiple staff bringing guests in not following a strict order, and they do not call names - they can't really match your face with the name for the large group of people who have been waiting outside for 1h (there's no queue either). When I questioned them because they just brought people who came later in the list than me in, one staff told me "you are the next", but she kept brining other guests in. When I asked second time ten minutes later, she asked me what was my name and kept us waiting again. Stores that intend to keep a long waiting line should adopt some automation (e.g, computer managed wait list that sends you text or call you at your turn) or at least a reliable way of enforcing the priority (e.g, assign people a numbered tag and just call the numbers). Unfortunately, they didn't make such attempts to optimize their customer experience.

Great place for brunch! They have a lot of delicious dishes to choose from and their mimosas are some of the best in the area. Rosy was our server, she was very friendly and gave us some great recommendations. There is usually a line but it's definitely worth the wait.
