  We called in and made a reservation for a party of nine on a Saturday afternoon. They advised us the only time they had available was going to be 3:00. We agreed to accept the 3:00 slot, but they did advise us if our whole party was present earlier. We may be able to be seated before 3:00. Our whole party arrived a little earlier than 3:00 and they said they would go ahead and seat us. We began to file into the restaurant. They said we had to go downstairs. We began to go downstairs. Then we were marched back upstairs and told there was a miscommunication. Okay so that made me a little leery but it's busy and it's a Saturday so it's understandable. On our way out the door to go ahead and sit down again outside. We saw that they actually moved people from their table who had their food and were eating so that they could seat us right up front. Although we appreciate being seated early, I have never seen a restaurant move, people who were already in the middle of eating in order to seat another party. We are seated and give our drink order. One person in our party ordered a peach basil tea. Everyone else ordered mimosas and lemonades. She returned with everyone's drink except the person who ordered a peach basil tea. Being that it is probably a special drink, we assume that it would be coming shortly. She left our table to go put in the food orders and returned again before she put them in to caution us that once they were put in there were no modifications allowed while she was at the table. We reminded her of the peach basil tea. She said she would get it. .... after everyone received their food and were working on their second drinks. The person who ordered the peach basil tea had yet to receive the first. She was in the middle of a conversation with another person in our party and had to be reminded again about the peach basil tea. It finally arrived and was very good. If you like basil you will love it. Although the food was good, the service overall proved to be mediocre. This is the part that would make me kind of hesitant to recommend it to anyone. One person in our party wanted just two pieces of catfish no grits, no sides, nothing else, just two pieces of fish on a plate. The server said they could not have two pieces of fish on a plate. They said that the fish had to be served on top of lettuce with the recent scares about lettuce. The person in my party did not want any lettuce on or near their fish. They just wanted their fish. End of story the service said no modifications could be done. We were all perplexed. This place is decent, not fancy, not five star. And we have all dined at Michelin restaurants where you could request no garnish on your plate. Every person that came to the table told our friend that they have to have lettuce on their plate in order to get their fish. At this point we talk to the server. We talked to another person out there who I assume was some type of front of house manager and then they brought the actual restaurant manager who still insisted that because of how the owner wants the food to leave the kitchen, they were not supposed to serve him any fish without lettuce. With all the health scares concerning lettuce, I really don't see how someone who requests "No garnish" basically was being denie getting their food when they're spending their money. Sad to say these types of ridiculous rigid rules and regulations I only have found at black owned establishments. The food was good but my friend actually ended up just canceling the order and did not eat anything. With a gratuity added to everyone's check and prices that are not exactly cheap. You would think we would have received better treatment than to be told that my friend could not eat their fish without lettuce on their plate of all things!! 😔 😔 😔

  What can I say about this place which I (we) thought was just a little "hole-in-the-wall"? When my Lil Sister told us about it, we thought, "Oh nooo, it's probably a little "rinky-dink" place that has NO PARKING, but MUCH TO MY CHAGRIN, it's quite "a quaint little getaway where you can relax, eat some great dishes and enjoy the fellowship". This was my very first experience at The Breakfast Boys but I would recommend it right away because EVERY SINGLE THING I PUT IN MY MOUTH WAS DELIGHTFULLY AND DELICIOUSLY DELECTABLE!!! Even the drinks (specifically the Peach Basil Iced Tea. To top all of that, our Hostess/Waitress-Ms. Keisha was "da-bomb.com". Who needs a menu when you've got Ms. Keisha? She's a "walking menu". She knew about all the foods that were on the Menu but she recommended that we try specific dishes. The first bite I took, I knew we were home. Never pass up an opportunity to try a "hole-in-the-wall" restaurant, you'll be pleasantly surprised!! GO MS. KEISHA!! When I come back (and I am), I'm gonna look for you first, then I'm gonna ask for you. I know you work from Tuesdays thru Saturdays. And I'm gonna do something even better, I'm gonna tell people about The Breakfast Boys and how good the food, the vibe and the atmosphere is. I'm gonna suggest that they ask for you. Now, my sister's have already said we're gonna come back maybe once a month so we can chow down, so, keep an eye out for us!! We love Ms. Keisha!!! And we would quickly recommend her to anyone and everyone! THANKS "Ms. Keisha", YOU'RE THE BEST!!

  Arrived this morning while raining lightly to find there are only like 6 parking spaces (all full). So my parents and I both have to find parking and walk in the rain… Since my parents parked farther away and walked slower, I had to wait to be seated until they arrived…in a restaurant that is 70-80% empty. Then they seated us 3 at a table for 2 with a chair on the side. Why? Why cram us in when your restaurant isn’t even close to full. The menu pricing ranged from $18-30 for brunch plates. The dishes included salmon and such to justify the cost. All we wanted were basic breakfast staples like pancakes and eggs. We nearly left due to the cost and complexity of the menu offerings but were able to order the items we wanted à la carte. My father decided to forego eating. Food came out quickly. The bill for 3 pancakes (a decent size) with 2 eggs and 3 bacon pieces (no drinks) was just under $30. We had to flag down random staff for things like butter and syrup (it came with just 2-3 tablespoons of syrup). My meal was served with toast even though I specifically asked for no toast (I am gluten intolerant) and my bacon was not crispy (even though ordered crispy). Tip was suggested at 20-28%. I am not opposed to tipping 28%, but I expect to be welcomed into the restaurant (not just by words but by how I am treated), my food to be as I ordered and for my waitress to check in more than once so we don’t have to wait for condiments, and for food to be served on a warm plate to keep it from being cold so quickly.

  Dynasty was my server. She is spectacular. She made sure my eggs was pretty like I requested. She attended to me as if I was the only one in the restaurant. Her customer service is stellar. Thank you Dynasty. My biggest problem was parking. Not knowing how busy The Breakfast Boys would be I paid for 2 hours parking to be safe. Well. I left in under an hour. Never been here on a Monday. Note to self just come early enough tot get a free space. Anyway. $13.55 for parking for no reason at all. Parking should be free because we all have to do it. Monopolizing on it I guess makes sense but for people wanting to enjoy eating out parking should be free so that money can go towards the food bill. So my 40 dollars tab became 53 plus a tip now how is that right. I thank God I had the resources to cover it. Thank you Breakfast Boys for the most delicious food and stellar customer service. No one beats y’all ever. I love you. Thank you again Dynasty. From Joy

  ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We visited The Breakfast Boys while in Atlanta from Texas, and they were absolutely amazing to our group! I originally made an online reservation for 15, but by the day of our reservation, we were down to 11. No problem — they accommodated us. And when I tell you my group was NEEDY that morning… 😂 We arrived and decided we wanted to sit outside, even though they had already prepared our tables inside. They accommodated us. Once we got outside, the Atlanta heat started heating, and suddenly we needed shade, umbrellas, fans — the whole setup. Again, they accommodated us without ever making us feel like a bother! Our server, Keisha, was wonderful. She knew the menu very well, answered our questions, and made excellent recommendations. The food presentation was beautiful, everything came out hot and fresh, and most importantly, it was DELICIOUS. Everyone in our group really enjoyed their meals. A special thank you to the manager, Charles, who went above and beyond helping arrange our tables, fans, and umbrellas to make everyone comfortable. The entire staff was kind, patient, and welcoming. And Charles, thank you especially for being so kind to my complaining Aunties! 😅 You handled us with grace! We also LOVED supporting a Black-owned business while we were in Atlanta — and The Breakfast Boys are definitely doing their thang! 💯 From the service, to the environment, to the food: A+ across the board. This is exactly the kind of business you’re happy to support and tell other people about. I would absolutely recommend The Breakfast Boys to anyone visiting Atlanta. I already can’t wait to come back by myself and try something different on the menu! Thank you for making our Texas crew feel so welcome! ❤️
