Second time coming here, and the food was great both times. It was much busier this time and the waiting list app employed by the restaurant did not seem to work properly, as we waited 30 minutes and never got a text, while we watched several people walk up and get tables ahead of us. We ended up sitting at the counter, which wasn't as private for two people. Very loud. But again, the food was fantastic.

The food is ok,atmosphere is not bad. I stopped in on a Thursday morning, as I walked in everyone spoke seemed pretty nice. A young man took my order, I walked away to the rest room and returned back to wait for my meal. At that time a young lady was behind the counter. She was talking with the young man that took my order smiling and talking, I had a question. She was facing me and his back was turned. So I said hello I have a question, her smile dropped and gave me a dirty look and told the young man I has a question. I asked what I had to ask the young man, mean while the young lady turned her back and started using a lent brush to brush her clothes down behind the counter witch I thought that wasn't necessary to do behind a counter. I believe that should have been done in the bathroom or somewhere in the back. She has to be trained to be more professional than she was.

Delicious!!! We ordered to go on GrubHub and it was amazing! The chorizo hash is so flavorful and the eggs were poached to perfection. We also tried house hash, pancakes and fruit & everything was fresh and made as ordered.

We walked in during a busy Saturday morning and they sat us quickly. Then a large group of people came in and the restaurant was immediately shoulder to shoulder. Customers thinking they have places to sit and badmouthing the staff. My wife and I are sitting at the table wondering how the staff would handle the situation. Would we ever get our food? The staff responded extremely well. No hiccup in the service, the food still came quickly and was extremely tasty. Applause all around for the patient and friendly staff and the fantastic food.

part of me secretly wants to give this place 1 star so that less people come here so I have less competition for a table

Good breakfast spot with home style cooking. Variety of breakfast and brunch options including Mexican dishes. Food was hot/fresh - pancakes were quite fluffy and delicious. Fresh squeezed orange juice was ok. Customer service was great. Restaurant is small but cozy. Very busy on a weekend morning and had to wait about 15-20 minutes to be seated. They don’t take reservations. Lots of street parking available. Reasonable prices. I am thinking about coming back.

I've been to Breakfast House before but was particularly pleased with this most recent visit when I made a reservation for an organization board meeting. Wonderful service especially considering the variety of orders the six of us made! The coffee and water flowed and everyone who checked in on us was friendly and professional.

Overall, the breakfast house is an OK spot to go to. Myself and a friend dined together for breakfast. We had salmon benedict, vanilla, waffle, Mexican omelette. The egg on top of the Benedict was slightly overcooked, so it did not have the runny yolk, I also asked for a side of jalapeño aïoli, which had no spice to it. Service was ok, nothing special. The bill total was $46.50. We sat in the back room of the restaurant, which didn’t have a pleasant smell. It smelled like a urinal of baby pampers; not to meant anytime a high chair was needed they were reach behind me. Not ideal considering I’m eating, that should possibly be place elsewhere if possible.

For Sunday brunch-time, Breakfast House was busy and very loud. We did not wait long for a table, which was nice. Foid was delicious and plentiful. Just serving breakfast and lunch dair was perfect.

This was our first time at this location, and although small, I'm glad to say that the service and food were just as great as the other Breakfast Houses around town. It's evident that this is no fluke, as the place was busy the entire time, yet people came and went fairly quickly. Our food was fresh and delicious, and they really made sure we were happy with everything. We will definitely come back soon!
