See all

This is by my favorite breakfast place in Cedar Rapids. The food is AMAZING! My favorite has to be the stuffed French toast! I love how small the place is because it really lives up to that 'diner' feel; however, it gets really crowded some days. read more

I came here with my family for breakfast for the first time. This place was packed. They have fast and friendly service. And the food was great. The oat meal pancakes with fruit was delicious. The oat meal gave the pancakes a great texture. My suggestion is to also try the Polish sausage. I will definitely come again. read more

Breakfast House - Pancakes with oatmeal and fruit - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Cedar Rapids, Iowa

Found this place on Yelp, somewhat close to our hotel, we were in town for a soccer tourney and had 3 starving 15yr old boys who wanted real breakfast food aka protein!! Breakfast House did not disappoint! It's a small establishment and an open grill. You seat yourself. All the wait staff was extremely helpful. It was crazy busy!! We knew that was a good sign. From when we walked in til when we left it was 75min but so worth it. The boys raved about the food and people just kept coming and going there was a constant wait. I have nothing negative to say!! Be patient and you will be rewarded with amazing food and service. read more

The food was decent, not the greatest. What left the bad taste in our mouths was the service. Two servers, one working hard to pick up the other's slack. And the slow one was our server...giving one of our orders to a one top who arrived a good 30 minutes after us. If you walk in and the tables are full and half are unbussed, plan for 1.5-2 hours. Not exactly our definition of a short order cafe. read more

I've never written a bad review before. My family and I came here because I've heard great things. We were here on a busy Saturday. Our server came right away to take our order and that was great. We waited over an hour for our food and I watched other people get theirs, when they came in after us. I asked our server about our food. I heard her ask the cook and he said that he doesn't have our order. All that she did was look the other way and tell me that she was sorry. I told her that we were just going to leave. She said okay, and that was it. I've never had worse service. I assume the food is good, but I have no idea! We will never go back. read more

solid breakfast place with a diner feel, idk how many places like this are in CR so it was def crowded on a sunday at noon, after 15 mins tho we got seats and it was fine, i got the omlette with hash browns cooked into it, and a big pancake on the side, it was good, not small and not too filling either, 2 TVs too, I'd go back if ever in town again read more

Breakfast House - Georges omelette served George style with hash browns cooked inside - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Cedar Rapids, Iowa

Love this place great food great atmosphere but kinda small. Get there early because the place fills up fast :) will definitely be back!!!

Slow service. Mediocre food. Bad coffee. Deli turkey in my omelette. However, my 6-year-old declared his French toast "the best ever."

Stopped in for breakfast on way to airport - good service and food. Had a combo of the waffle and a couple eggs. The waffle was very good. The eggs were cooked properly. It was packed but the server was generally keeping up. read more

Great coffee, great food, sticky tables, and decent service. My kind of breakfast place. :)

The food and service was good. Nothing to get excited about though. I had the monster skillet and my boyfriend had the Baja omelette. Like I said both were good. However, I don't recommend the orange juice. read more

This place is so cute! I'm always looking for a good breakfast joint, and this one is a hit. Great staff, and atmosphere! We had breakfast, the omelette was HUGE, and the skillet was just as big. You definitely get more than your money's worth here. Delicious! read more

Breakfast House - Jojo's original Skillet! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Cedar Rapids, Iowa

the restaurant was full this morning. I waited at the door for 5 minutes during which time several staff members walked by me without acknowledging me at all. customer service is sorely lacking. Will never try again. read more

Great small place with good food. Reasonable prices and great service. The hamburger with eggs was perfectly cooked, but the hashbrowns were a bit mushy for my taste. read more

Eh. I'm not sure why the rave reviews. Granted the service was fantastic but the food, even for breakfast was simply mediocre. We both ordered skillets. The eggs were cooked well but the biscuit was bland, I got hash browns instead of the American potatoes I requested. Overall the dish was lacking in flavor and needed lots of hit sauce. My husband was not really impressed either. We also thought the stuffed French toast sounded great so ordered one to split. I'm not sure how you mess up French toast but it was not crispy on the outside and it had no flavor. It was filled with a non descript concoction of I'm assuming cream cheese and powdered sugar and canned blueberry pie filling. I love French toast and only wanted a couple bites. I ordered grits for my baby and again ..blah. I know this ain't the south, but I requested butter for them and was served margarine. When I asked if it was real butter she had to ask the cook who confirmed it was margarine. We don't eat margarine and I definitely wouldn't give it to my baby so the bland grits and margarine sat wasted. Appears they don't use butter at this place. Really? The coffee , while constantly refilled, was very weak. We tried this place based on the reviews but we won't be back. Overall I gave it 2 stars simply for the excellent service. Oh and no changing station in the restroom! Seriously??? We would normally take her to the car but it was raining so we had to change her on the booth seat! Ugh read more

Used to go here all the time. Went here a couple months ago. Food still good but the waitress poured coffee all over new shoes. Her shaking abilities would maybe work well at menards shaking the paint cans or a martini bar. Pretty sure Michael j fox could of got coffee in my cup. read more

The food was good at best but the service was slow. I thought I was being served by the waitress from Mel's Diner. I'm not sure about most, but I will come back to an average restaurant for good service than a great one with bad. It was not crowed but the two waitress acted like it was a full luck rush. The place is so small one could handle servicing everyone but they had two. Had to flag to get refills and my bill. I would say I was there an hour longer than I needed to be. I'm rounding up to a 3 because I don't see how to make it a 2 1/2. Bless their hearts. read more

This is the spot for breakfast. Be smart, eat late and avoid the weekend rush. Food is usually pretty good. They did change the hasbrowns which kinda sucks, but American fries are pretty solid. Service is hit or miss, great if it's Jackie or Casey, Amy is a little forgetful, and Cathy is the worst. read more

Great food, but very slow service. Always full on the weekends and you always just barely get a seat. Can't blame them due to being short staffed, but if you're looking for somewhere fast service, this isn't the place. I highly recommend the omelettes though! read more

This is the quintessential divey breakfast place!!! Seating is small, it's generally packed (because it's yummy) and it's loud. It has a Waffle House feel only homier. We always go here for breakfast and haven't found an item we don't like. The staff is friendly and quick, my coffee cup was never empty which is a huge plus for me. The eggs and hashbrowns were cooked perfectly. This is not a sit down and drink coffee all day, kind of place. It's a place to get good food, quickly and keep moving, but it's worth it. Don't expect to talk much anyway as the environment is too loud for casual conversations. read more

Horrible service! Waited 20 min for anyone to even notice we were there. Food was not that good. Will never return!

Tried this tiny little breakfast place over the weekend and was surprised how packed it was inside (11ish). We didn't have to wait very long to get a table. The waitresses (I think there was just 2) were quick and very sweet. We ordered the breakfast burrito which was really good and the multi-grain pancakes. I normally don't believe in ordering "healthy" pancakes so I know better. The multi-grain pancakes were terrible to my husband and I even with syrup but my 2 year old loved them. So don't order multi-grain pancakes keep them unhealthy but definitely order the burrito. They did take off the pancakes from our ticket which was very kind. And honestly the waitresses for being so busy and under staff were really great! We will be back. read more

Being that this was my first time in Cedar Rapids I looked on Yelp to find the best breakfast place. My friends and I came here twice during the week and it didn't disappoint. The food regular breakfast food, nothing crazy, but it was very well done. If you're looking for breakfast in Cedar Rapids you should check this little place out. read more

Love This Place. We just happened onto it. We have been there 20 times. Scratch food, good prices, good service, friendly people.

Amazing breakfast and coffee! Our server Jackie was super nice and had great recommendations! Definitely the best kept secret in Cedar Rapids! read more

This is the premier breakfast establishment in Cedar Rapids. You can expect a short wait on Saturday morning and the food is completely worth it. I typically get a (very large) omelette, pancakes or toast and hash browns. You can get the omelette with the hash browns inside it, along with tasty melted cheese and quality ingredients. After one of these omelettes, a pancake and OJ, milk or coffee it's a struggle to get out of the booth. Their kitchen is open for all to see while you wait for your food. For only $20 - $25 for two people you can leave completely stuffed, I have been here 10 to 15 times and never been disappointed. I registered on Yelp just to give this place 5 stars. read more

One of the best breakfast joints in CR...good for lunch also!

I have eaten here several times. It is very good. It is also small, and is getting more popular, so that can be a downside. There aren't enough good old fashioned American breakfast type places around. Two complaints... and these lose it a star... the hash browns could be a little crispier, and they ruin the bacon by putting a weight on it during cooking. read more

Got here and only two tables open. Took one that had not been cleaned. After 10 minutes waitress finally acknowledged us. Took dr8nk order and she got it wrong. Finally came back and gave menus to order. After waiting 25 minutes to order we just got up and left. The food can't be worth the wait. read more

I was so disappointed when my husband and I went to the Breakfast House last Saturday. The food is really good, I can't complain about that, and the service is usually adequate. Last Saturday, the service was terrible. Usually, someone seats you within a couple minutes. This time, we stood there and waited....and waited....and waited. The servers were doing normal server things- refilling coffee, cleaning tables- but certainly things that could have waited until we were seated or at least acknowledged. Not one server looked us in the eye for a good ten minutes. We finally left and went to Parlor City, which was great. read more

We had the chicken and biscuits for breakfast. It was great. Our waitress was very friendly. It took a little while to get our food but that is because it was made fresh. We will definitely return. read more

Maybe they had an off day, being the 4th of July. There was no wait at 8:45 am, somehow our food came out at 9:35 for a 4 top. Ordered country fried steak. The steak may have been 3oz, with the breading being thicker than the steak. Sausage gravy with no seasoning, and little sausage. Over toasted sourdough bread. The eggs and hashbrowns were decent. My SO ordered the steak. They crossed off 'tips' on the menu, when it originally stated 'steak tips.' It was like that on all 4 menus at our table. She got steak tips, nice misdirection. She ordered eggs scrambled hard, got eggs over hard. Her toast and water were decent. Moral of the story: maybe get eggs? Don't get steak. Please step your game up...you're a breakfast restaurant, for cryin out loud. read more

Best breakfast in cedar rapids.... I love that they have rye toast and amazing coffee....

Awesome food,great service. It like being at home! Basically pull up a seat and it's like you're eating in the kitchen.

I have family in Cedar Rapids so as usual when traveling through the area, we gather for breakfast before I get back on the road. Today we chose The breakfast house. There was quite a wait but that was maybe because of popularity and we arrived with 11 people. Only complaint would be seating. Our waitress was very nice and all around great. The food was phenomenal to say the least. Great portions for the price and great taste. I'd call this my new in town breakfast spot while on my travels if they could only easily accommodate more seating. Not their fault, we just travel in large numbers. For groups of 4 and under I recommend stopping in. read more

The pancakes were good, if a bit heavier than what I prefer. The two young kids with us liked the "Mickey Mouse"-shaped pancakes, which were delivered quickly. The kielbasa was really very good, and I thought it was a generous portion. The service staff worked hard to keep the beverages full, even those not taking orders from our table. The service seemed quite good. I think this would be a restaurant that the family would enjoy again. I particularly liked the (more or less) "greasy spoon"-like feel and menu selection.. The restaurant is a bit on the small side, so it probably would not be good for a larger group. read more

Great breakfast. I had the steak & shrooms omelet. Lots of steak.

The best place for breakfast food in the Cedar Rapids area. You get HUGE portions of food, the staff is friendly, and the service is rather quick for how busy this place usually is. read more

Seems this is the place where the locals go. Though it was crowded, we were lucky to grab a seat as table was cleared as we arrived. I had the chicken and biscuit which was good with a flavorful gravy. I would have prefer the eggs over easy but the menu called for scrabble, so I wanted to try it the way it was meant to be. I am sure they would have substituted. Wife had the veggie skillet which she enjoyed. read more
