The Breakfast Klub in Houston

Remembering... My First ​Wings & Waffle Experience

The first time my daughter mentioned the combination of fried chicken wings and breakfast waffles, I sort of gagged. It sounded like just another food gimmick.  

Joining the Line in 2011

So we checked out the craze on a Sunday morning in March, 8 years ago. Both kids had come home from Austin, for the weekend. Our family of 4 headed into Houston to enjoy a food adventure! The line at The Breakfast Klub was crazy.

A Fun Wait

We were handed menus right away. The restaurant staff was very much used to dealing with crowds. All were in good spirits.

The cool spring weather made the wait tolerable. But the people watching, made the wait entertaining. Some came dressed in their Sunday Best. Others looked like they had rolled out of bed. But all seemed happy and eager to be there.

Our Breakfast Table

Once seated, we studied the menus with big cups of coffee.  The youngins ordered Wings and Waffles, so I knew I'd get a bite. I went ahead and ordered the other dish The Klub is known for...Catfish and Grits!

Catfish and Grits!

I don't love grits, I'm just drawn to them for some odd reason. Catfish? I'm not even a fish person. But I kind of loved my comfort food meal, with big biscuit and fried eggs. 

Waffles & Wings

The kids loved theirs. I was intrigued with my sample tasting, but I'm not sure it's a combo I'll ever crave. Sweet and Savory, I get it. But it's just not my favorite.

So it's been 7 years and the breakfast combo is seen on more and more menus. It wasn't a short trend, afterall. They probably even serve wings and waffles at Denny's. 

It might be time to head back for some Catfish and Grits!
