A New Favorite American Export: The Breakfast Club

Comments Off on A New Favorite American Export: The Breakfast Club

(Gerry Furth-Sides) The friendly American restaurant export of themed restaurants is becoming as popular as hamburgers and hot dogs. One of the newest in the category that is gaining popularity is the all-day (and night) breakfast. Breakfast, including dinner-style dishes, is served in lively The Breakfast Club in Hollywood from 8 in the morning to 11 at night, along with cocktails, wine and desserts to go with it. 

Excellent, boldly flavored, colorful – if often sweet- classics and whimsical, cocktails (from a full bar to please with Illegal Mezcal) speak for themselves at the new, upbeat full bar.

A toast to the folks, and to our fabulous Russian server Alexis here at Breakfast Club LA, who bring us the latest in themed dining, America’s contribution to the restaurant works. It does feel like “a club.”Smart, quick service – our server Alexis steered us to our favorite here.

Shrimp + Grits has just the right kick of tobasco to offset perfectly creamy grits with honey butter. And the kitchen knew how tío scale the Chicken + Waffle platter down for two in the PANCAKES, WAFFLES & FRENCH TOAST – DINE IN MENU. Just reading about them makes me hungry all over again.

Manager Israel’s tour of the soaring TWO story space walked off at least 25 calories – but who’s counting.

The soaring space of The Breakfast Club in Hollywood, which holds small party rooms.

The Breakfast Club is new this year, only blocks from bustling Hollywood and Vine. The lively idea is right in time for the area resurgence from the pandemic. 

The most fun of all was having a “masked manager” come over to greet me by name, and turn out to be the wonderful Israel, long-time restaurant friend.

We loved of bright, airy space as soon as we walked in. The bold, almost brash Palm Springs and Miami Beach look and feel immediately thought of soaring Lulu’s on the main drag in Palm Springs. (see //localfoodeater.com/our-must-try-and-why-palm-springs-ethnic-eats/) And it turned out to also be so much fun.

Cheers to the detailed festive design with individual, colorful, upbeat indoor-outdoor dining, bar or private party experiences on two airy floors for small or large groups. 

The super-friendly place captures the glitz of nearby Hollywood and Vine and the vacation feel of Palm Springs or Miami Beach. And really good food and
