The Breakfast Club — Restaurant in Springboro

Sooo, in honor of Boss’s Day, we took our fearless leader to The Breakfast Club Café in Springboro. It’s only been there a few months and is on the corner of 741 & 73. There was a little bit of a wait as they were pretty crowded, so we sat outside on the patio. Could have probably been seated earlier outside, but you all know how I feel about the outside. This time, I have pics.

Companion one ordered a pancake and the viva omelet, which consisted of spicy beef, red and green onions, cheddar and was topped w/ a tomato and American cheese. It tasted good but wished it was spicier. Perhaps it would have been better if there was pepperjack instead of American cheese. The chips were a little stale and unnecessary.

Companion two ordered the portabello asiago omelet w/ an English muffin. The combination of the two was thoroughly enjoyed. It was flavorful and earthy, however in some spots, the cheese was a little too thick and could have been distributed more evenly. The English muffin was delightfully toasted.

Companion three started w/ their seasonal coffee flight (smores, maple, pumpkin, and caramel apple), and was underwhelmed. The flavors were fine, being not overly sweet (ordered w/o the alcohol as that was an option), but they were room temp and watered down. They needed to be either hot or cold. Unfortunately, two of them had whipped cream, but was more like whipped topping; a little oily (cool-whip). Companion three also had the viva omelet and wished for more spice. It was more like a hamburger omelet. Instead of chips, perhaps guacamole would have been a nicer touch.

Companion four had an omelet w/ scrambled ham. It was a good consistency, with ham throughout. The pancakes were good and that was the consensus around the table for those who ordered pancakes.

Companion five had the potato pancakes w/ the smoked sausage and banana muffins. Unfortunately, it was a no-go on the potato pancakes. They tasted more like hash browns. Also, the smoked sausage was a little too smoky for their liking. No word on the muffins.

Companion six had the sausage and gravy. It was all good. The biscuits were a little on the dry side. The signature potatoes were pretty good, nice and crispy. Would have been better if they were a little hotter, but it can be hard to get everything out and still have the right temperature.

As for me, I had the jackpot special which consisted of two pancakes, choice of meat, and two eggs. I also ordered a side of the signature potatoes. I really enjoyed the pancakes. They were an acceptable thickness. The eggs were scrambled well, and the potatoes were good. Upon the recommendation of the waitress, I got the smoked sausage, and it was better than I thought it would be. I am not a fan of a very smoky sausage either, but I felt it had the right amount of smokiness.

Overall, it was a good meal, a nice atmosphere, and reasonable pricing. I also appreciated the portion sizes. There were a lot of good sounding dishes, so it’s worth going back to try something else, like the...

A great new breakfast place in Springboro! My wife and I heard this place was coming and couldn't wait to try it out.

There was only a 15 minute wait around 9am, though it's worth noting that we went on a Tuesday during a mini stay-cation. Still, tables were opening regularly and the line steadily moved up.

FOOD: Everything was EXCELLENT! They apparently make all of their own sauces in-house, bread their own chicken, slice their potatoes fresh everyday, nothing is frozen, and they source things locally such as bread from Big Sky Bread Company. The Breakfast Enchilada was delicious and we're told it's their most-ordered item on the menu. The sauce was amazing. Their fried potatoes are sooo good and you add onions for free. Crispy bacon, fluffy eggs, and fun coffees. The cinnamon swirl pancake with a cream cheese drizzle was the perfect treat to a savory breakfast. Even the biscuits are homemade and delightful! They offer breakfast and lunch, though we've only tried breakfast so far.

SERVICE: Amanda (our server) was extremely attentive, polite, and fun to chat with. She took the time to explain their fun sauces and how they make most everything in-house. She had great recommendations, all of which were perfect!

PARKING: Parking is a bit tight with only a few spaces existing outside of TBC directly. The parking in general for Wright Station is somewhat spread out, so be prepared to park a little further away. It's a nice area to walk through though, so it's not a big issue.

PATIO: They have a lovely outdoor, covered patio area that seats a lot of people. When the weather it mild, they have large doors that open to the patio from the restaurant, creating a larger open space feeling.

SEATING: The inside of TBC itself is somewhat smaller than we were expecting, but it still seats a fair amount of people. When combined with the patio seating, there are a lot of seats. If you're wanting indoor seating, there will probably be at least a small wait. They do have bar seats if you don't want to wait for a table.

HIGHLY...

Man, I really wanted to like this place. We absolutely love the Lebanon location. Living in Springboro, this location is much closer to our home. We waited for the initial rush to die down and allow for some time to work through the issues that pop up amen opening up a new restaurant.

We came on a Sunday around 11am. Late enough to avoid the breakfast rush, but early enough to beat the church crowd. We had an hour wait for our table outside. The chairs aren't the comfiest, but that's not a big deal.

I don't know if it was an of day for our server or not, but there was a huge drop off in service between Lebanon and here. The Lebanon staff are super friendly and attentive. After waiting for about 5 minutes before she took our drink order, she returned with 3 of 4 drinks pretty quickly. It took numerous reminders that I still needed my coffee, which arrived 10 minutes after ordering. This was just regular, black coffee. Nothing special. They weren't waiting for it to brew either, as there was a full coffee pot at the servers station outside. Two of the three other people in my party needed a refill before I got my initial cup.

We placed our food order, which came out about as quick as it does in Lebanon, which is great. The issue was that there was a missing item and one item prepared incorrectly (dry toast was buttered). My daughter was hungry and just ate the toast as she didn't want to wait any longer. I had to remind the server of the missing item. The food tasted just as it does in Lebanon, which was a plus.

This location is has a modern feel and more space. We only got a passing glimpse of the indoor dining area, but it looked very nice.

After this experience, we'll most likely just make the drive out to the...
