A favorite for foodies known around Houston and nationally, The Breakfast Klub is one of the highest-ranked Black-owned restaurants on Yelp and has been included on Yelp’s “Ones to Watch” list, just in time for Black History Month. The Breakfast Klub celebrates its 20-year anniversary this year, and during a time when restaurants close as quickly as they open, owner Marcus Davis continues to implement sage wisdom and experience for sustainability and success in business.
The spirit and entrepreneurial mastermind behind The Breakfast Klub and Reggae Hut Café, Davis is best known for his charismatic personality, authentic customer appreciation, and his tireless commitment to the communities he serves.
Applying “kommunity” as his guiding principle in his business and personal life, he has created one of the most phenomenal restaurant success stories in the country. The concept for The Breakfast Klub was born after Davis, a native Houstonian, recognized a void in the market for a unique breakfast restaurant serving signature items in a soulful, relaxed community environment. He chose two of his favorite dishes from opposite ends of the country – “Katfish & Grits” from the East Coast and “Wings & Waffles” from the West Coast, and the rest is history.
Since opening in September of 2001, The Breakfast Klub has become a top tourist attraction, as well as the local favorite breakfast spot, lining up droves of cheerful patrons on a daily basis. It consistently receives rave reviews, including recognition as the best breakfast in the country by “Good Morning America,” USA Today, Esquire Magazine, and Forbes Magazine. Locally, The Breakfast Klub is touted by the Houston Press as the 2011 Readers Choice for best breakfast, winner of the 2011 My Table Culinary Award for favorite breakfast, and Best Of Citysearch 2011 winner in the breakfast category.
About the Yelp designation, Davis says:
“The people have spoken, and they have spoken for over two decades. This acknowledgement shows a continued interest of the community in empowering us as we empower the community. We are very grateful for this recognition.”
According to Yelp:
To determine the list of Black-owned businesses to watch, our data science team started by identifying businesses that have self-identified with the Black-owned attribute on Yelp in food, beauty, or home categories. From the candidate businesses in each category, we limited the list to three businesses per state and narrowed it down by weighing a variety of factors, including national online presence, average rating, and review counts. Businesses featured are listed alphabetically.
