Our breakfast was incredible! The staff was very good, but not incredible - they only offered one coffee refill and forgot our extra plate we asked for. We also had to ask for the check. I just think they were short staffed. The food was bomb - comforting, simple and yummy. We’d for sure come back here. It isn’t the cleanest place (bathrooms were pretty yucky) but the food is worth returning for.

Quaint little hole in wall.. literally. You have to wait in line outside and they come to door to let you in. They will not seat you until the entire party is there. The line moves quick, food was great. The wait staff makes the experience. Definitely check them out. I thought the portion could be a little bit bigger, omelet was tiny. No fountain service and only one refill on 4.00 cup of coffee. The line was 25 people deep so don’t let that intimidate you to not wait. Robin the hostess was a hoot… no nonsense but nice.

The wait was over 15 minutes outside. In America, we don't like to wait. If you can get past that and have some needed patience you will understand it is well worth it. This is a hard-working team. They are constantly moving and working to get everything out at a great time and with great taste. They could however work on getting some shade outside. It's hot right now in July. That would allow people to be more tolerant of waiting. The coffee tasted fantastic to me. I ordered scrambled eggs, bacon, and sausage. The food was delicious! Well worth the wait. The staff is friendly and fast.

Very delicious meal, great coffee and love the diner atmosphere! I've never had such fluffy tender waffles before. I would like to give a heads-up, there are 2 ways in and one is definitely an exit. Just look at the sign on the door. The main entrance is on the side road, not the main road. It's important to know this because sometimes there is a line to get into the restaurant. Overall, fantastic experience and not bad prices.

My friend and I have been here twice and the food both times has been excellent. Sometimes the place can be packed so use the website and try to make a reservation. It would probably save you some time. If not, plan accordingly. I haven't had a bad item yet so try whatever the waffles seem popular. They have a ton of omelette options. They all have been good The hash browns even plain are quite good. As for atmosphere, the place is a little bit tight but it is cute and it's not too much of a tourist trap so you're not getting nailed at the register.

Trust me, it's worth the wait! This is a unique place. When you arrive, please read the sign that says: wait outside and we will come get you. They were short staffed, it took 1 hour to get our food, but it was delicious! I got the Luigi omelette, it was very enjoyable!

Five stars isn’t enough! My boyfriend and I visited The Breakfast Club on Tybee Island and were blown away. The food was incredible—fresh, flavorful, and made with love—but what really made the experience unforgettable was the staff. Every single person we interacted with was so kind, welcoming, and on top of everything. You can really feel the heart in this place. We’ll definitely be coming back every time we’re on the island. It’s a must-visit spot!

Simple and good! It felt weird to wait for a table outside the restaurant, but once we went inside I understood. Service was great and the food was actually really good. The country fried steak was much different than what I've had before at other places. However it tasted great. The grits were a combo of yellow and white. The eggs were cooked to perfection. The pecan waffle was very scrumptious. Be prepared to wait. When we went to leave there was a line of about 20 people waiting to be seated at 8am. Get there early if you don't want to wait.
