The Breakfast Klub

Popular Southern brunch spot in Midtown, open since 2001; chicken and waffles and fried catfish with grits are the two signature dishes.

Located at 3711 Travis Street in Midtown since 2001, this is one of Houston's best-known soul food breakfast spots. Two signature dishes have been served since the restaurant opened: Belgian waffles with six seasoned fried chicken wings, and crispy fried catfish with butter-topped corn grits. The atmosphere is relaxed, and there's almost always a line at the door, especially on weekends, though tables turn over quickly. Orders are placed at the counter, and reservations are not accepted. The signature combo costs about US$20. The restaurant is about 3 km from downtown; take the Red Line light rail to Ensemble/HCC station and walk from there.
