I had the chicken and waffles, and it was excellent! The chicken was a full boneless breast split and tenderize to perfection. The seasoning was very nice and complimented the waffle perfectly. The waffle was very good as well, clearly made in house. My buddy had one of the burgers with fries, he added an over easy egg, which they had no problem doing. He said the fries were better than he expected and the whole meal was very good. It was a Wednesday night, kind of slow there and the service was superb. I really enjoyed the atmosphere, it's a very nice restaurant and an excellent place to bring a date. Not too noisy, somewhat intimate and very well done. read more

Unfortunately, the service was terrible. It took about 10 minutes just to order our first drinks, followed by nearly 50 minutes before anyone took our food order. Getting refills was just as difficult--we waited an extremely long time, and at one point had to go up and ask because a drink we had ordered never arrived. We asked for napkins but never received them. To make matters worse, we were charged for extra drinks we hadn't ordered, even though we had to chase down the drinks we actually requested. There was also a hair in the food, which made the experience even more disappointing. The breakfast was decent, but the lunch was pretty mediocre. I will give them credit for discounting one of the meals that went uneaten because of its taste and for addressing the issue with the hair. Unfortunately, those efforts did not make up for the extremely slow and inattentive service. Overall, the experience was frustrating from start to finish. The food might have been easier to overlook if the service had been better, but between the long waits, missing items, incorrect charges, and hair in the food, I would not be in a hurry to return. read more

Great place. Great menu. The salmon is amazing. Love the little baby bakers. Great service.

Great service, spot on pricing for the food. Value for your "diner" dollar. Very bright and light-- Full bar menu was a surprise! read more

Father's Day brunch- Food was cold and overcooked. Very little selection plus it was way overpriced. We weren't told it was "brunch only" until we asked for menus and then it was mentioned. No sign or price posted anywhere. We were shocked when received the bill of $25 per person plus they charged 3.50 for coffee. Bad food, bad service, bad experience!! Not going back. read more

What a pleasant surprise! Very nice atmosphere. Breakfast was delicious with excellent presentation. Our waiter was great too.

Stopped here on a Monday morning - and service was great! Food was fantastic. In fact, it was so good that we decided to have a post-graduation get-together here! Called Breaks and made a reservation for our party of 13. Mind you, this call was made weeks in advance. We showed up after graduation - only to be told that they were not going to honor reservations that day. Instead we had to wait for a table to be available. It took about 45 minutes for that to happen. Things only got worse from here. Once seated and our orders were taken, it took two and a half hours for our food to arrive. Yes. Two hours and thirty minutes. Kids in our party were exhausted and crabby. If that wasn't bad, the food was cold... People at other tables just left after waiting for an hour. Do not blame them at all. No apologies from the staff or management. Just a "we've given you a small discount. Thanks". Will I go back? Probably not. Nice place. Expansive menu. Good decor and vibe. But awful service. Avoid. read more

The full version is on Google Review- The guy running this place is a tool and completely unprofessional. Over 1 hour to get our food and the food was terrible. Whoever is working the kitchen doesnt know the menu- clearly burnt the food. Then this clown proceeded to talk trash when I left a review. Says it all. See Google review for a laugh. Dont WASTE your time or money. They clearly couldn't handle a little rush when I walked in the place was nearly empty- the table next to us after 40 minutes was told half of their food had to be changed because they ran out. Total disaster. ( as shown on google) OVER ONE HOUR TO GET OUR FOOD- There was litterally a single large group in the back and the table next to us and food was even longer for them. When food did come out- it was one plate...at...a...time, FOR EVERY TABLE! Its pretty crazy when you wait for over 40 minutes and then they tall you they ran out of French fries. The table next to us had it worse, but the food was terrible. Chicken Picatta is what I ordered, but what I got was some unusual burnt deep fried chicken pieces on top of spaghetti- no lemon flavor, no wine flavor, barely any capers- and dude, come on. Canned artichokes?! When you bite into it- its mush and it holds the flavor of the can! Barely any flavor whatsoever and that broccolini was DEAD. Dont WASTE YOUR TIME. AND THAT FLOOR SUCKS! MY FRIGGIN EYES HURT. That white and black pattern is crazy. Anyway, Check your menu pictures and look at what I got ( see below). Wifes food was also bland, I actually liked the tortellini but the chicken is clearly twice cooked- nice and dry....They need some help in that kitchen....but I wouldn't want to work there. An hour?! Anyway wife got her food first- then mine about 5 minutes later about 8:55 and then we left hungry- we tipped the waitress the normal 20% - she was nice. We left after 9! I literally thought Gordon Ramsy was gonna pop out and shut the place down ( LOL) UPDATE; NO BOSS, there was barely anyone there and that group was not that big. If you cannot handle the capacity of your restaurant, perhaps communicate with your tabels instead of wasting their time. As a Prior cook- I wouldn't have served what I got. My palate was expecting what was shown and written on your menu for $18 dollars...definitely not worth what we spent all the way around. I worked the saute line- I know how it goes. When you run out of something, you 86 it immediately and waitresses know about it. That table waited 40 minutes before they found out. Anyway- I appreciate the response but my point remains. This place is a disaster. 2nd Update BOSS...Isn't it funny I got a faster response ( less than 20 minutes) on my review than I got my food? Perhaps monitor the restaurant and not the internet - yall were expecting the review and rightfully so. Talking shit? Lol Listen "drama queen". I also run my own business and am already once retired. I dont screw over my customers and then cry about it when they respond. Are you implying I burnt the chicken myself? Typical of a sore loser- blame the customer. Grow up dum dum. You suck at what you do. I kill it with what I do. Your floor still sucks and so does your food. TRUTH HURTS I GUESS. I SAY IT LIKE IT IS GUY. Its okay though, I paid my bill. You are clearly going to need the money. P.S. In the Military, we throw the BEST PARTIES. CATCH UP GUY. read more

Henry, our server, was knowledgeable, efficient and kind. My friend and I enjoyed lunch, and it was her first visit. She had Eggs Benedict, which she said was delicious, especially the Hush Puppies. Although they were out of my first choice, the Spicy Fish Sandwich, my second option was the Chicken Cutlet Club sandwich with avocado, bacon & trimmings. Very good, although a little messy, but that's what napkins are for. I ordered a cup of Crab Bisque as a side and there was some confusion as I got Tomato Bisque. Upon pointing it out the Henry, he made it right by bringing me a cup of Crab Bisque, so I was able to eat both soups! Both are great, but Crab Bisque was AMAZING! This was a quiet place for lunch. It's clean and very ascetically pleasing to the eye. read more

Breaks Eatery & Bar - A cup of Tomato Bisque with a Chicken Cutlet Club Sandwich. YUM! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Hays, Kansas

Terribly disappointed today. Sunday morning and there was no hostess working the front door. The place was not busy and employees just walked by without checking on us or the other family. Overheard the Grandfather with the other group say "we should go to IHOP, at least they will wait on you". We eventually just left and went to Pheasant Run right next door. Breakfast next door was excellent. I wish they would do better as the food tends to be pretty good. read more

I am in Hays KS for work. I've been here two weeks and have eaten here five times. It blows my mind that there's not a line out the door in the parking lot. Every lunch sandwich I've had has been absolutely amazing. I decided to try their breakfast this morning and it was also fantastic. This lead me to try a dinner this evening, I ordered the pork chop. The pork chop itself was great, the French onion soup was also delicious. Hays Kansas folks, it's time to get here! Also, the bathrooms are very clean and the dining area is spotless. read more

Horrible experience. Good Food, Terrible Service. After being seated, we waited 20 minutes at our table with no sign of a waitress. Finally, I went back to the hostess stand and asked for a manager, who found us a waitress. She took our drink order, forgot it, came back to ask again. 10mins later, the drinks arrived. The garnish from my drink was missing, and no lemon with the water as I ordered. We then ordered food and waited 47 minutes for our salad and soup to arrive. 40 minutes after that, one of our entrees arrived. 20 minutes later, the other entree arrived, the sandwich was warm, the fries were cold. In total, we were at the restaurant over two hours. They offered us a mere 20% discount, which does not account for our wasted time or frustration. From listening around the restaurant, and on our way out, It seemed we weren't the only customers upset with the service that night. read more

The design of the restaurant definitely fits the high class luxury feel they seem to be going for. Henry our server was super kind and helpful. Delivered everything we needed and offered more. The actual food we ordered was not done well. The breading was falling apart the small chuck of chicken that was served. The taste was not good at all. Most restaurants get something right with their food. They did not complete any of the four dishes or sides well that we ordered. Not even the fries were good. read more

Breaks Eatery & Bar - Eggs Benedict and Biscuit and Gravy - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Hays, Kansas

Went in a little after 12 on a Sunday, it wasn't busy, at all. Hostess told us it was going to be 30 minutes till they could get an order in. Server tells us lunch only, even though the menu says breakfast till 1:30... By the time you're done, most entrees are $20... The food arrived - true to their word, 30 minutes or so later, BUT THE CHIX SANDWICH, and the shrimp po boy were awesome, along with the burger and the Belt A sandwiches! Ya, it was l$100 for 5 of us, but when I spend that much and it's really good, that's ok- it's not over priced fast food slop. Sorry no pictures- I was busy eating!! read more

This restaurant is clean, and the atmosphere is very nice. They also have a wonderful menu. I ate there for breakfast a few months ago and it wasn't great but wanted to give it another try. Had breakfast this morning and sad to say I will not be back. I'm sorry I still want to like this restaurant. All the food was served cold as it was last time. The bacon was burned and cold. I mean, I like my bacon crispy, but it was burned. The biscuit and gravy had cold thick gravy on top of a cold biscuit. Scrambled eggs were cold. The toast was cold. The potatoes are served in a little cast-iron skillet which is cute but we're also cold. I mean, use your microwave if you have to, but everyone wants a nice hot breakfast. This was the issue we had last time we ate there. I'm sorry MANAGEMENT needs to know this is an issue so please try to correct so you don't have to close down! read more

We ordered and the food took almost an hour to get to us. The waitress was overworked and did not check in on us but maybe once. When the food did come out, some of the orders were wrong and incomplete and others were room temperature at best. Overpriced, understaffed, terrible. read more

Had reservations to celebrate graduation. We did get seated relatively quickly and ordered drinks. 3 out 5 drinks were terrible. Finally ordered at 11:45am and by 1:45pm still hadn't received our food. What in the world? By 1:55 still no food.. left. Other customers left before we did. No apology from wait staff but not sure if our server also left? Very disappointed as we were so excited to try. Won't be back. read more

On a road trip passing this area at breakfast time we were torn between Breaks and their neighbor. Without having tried the neighbors, I am confident we chose the wrong place. The pancakes were dense and tasted like birthday cake, dutch babies are on the menu but unavailable, the avo toast is not toasted, and what was described as gremolata should have been called green garlic spread. Looks like HGTV may have done a makeover on the space and the service was good. read more

This is our second visit and most likely last. They did a great job on interior design. Our server was nice. The food is pretty...ok. Nothing near as good as Home Grown out of Wichita. Their prices are amongst the highest seen for breakfast places. You are better off eating elsewhere if you have a family. We got charged $7.50 for each 8 Oz pour of apple juice. The coffee is expensive but tastes worse than the cheapest on the shelf. read more

Food was amazing. We were asked to wait 10 minutes before being seated. So the chefs didn't get backed up. Didn't make a lot of sense with a room full of empty tables.

Breaks Eatery & Bar - Turning customers away at 1:50. They close at 2:30. I would not be a happy business owner.... - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Hays, Kansas

Our first, and LAST, visit to this eatery. My wife and I ordered two eggs, bacon and hash browns. Pretty simple....not! They only brought what looked like less than one egg, the hash browns were NOT hash browns they were very small and thin crispy french fries. (wish I could show a picture, they were really pathetic) The eggs were cold, the hash browns weren't. We will go to Ninth Street Grill or the Pheasant Run (which is right beside this "eatery"). Don't make the mistake of "trying" this place. It's not worth your time or money. read more

This was the worst experience I've ever had in a restaurant. We waited half an hour for half of our drinks. The other half of our drinks took another while, and it was mostly just waters. We waited well over an hour, maybe an hour and a half before we got food. And the food wasn't really very good, with multiple items missing. They did not appear to be short staffed, but I believe it was our server's first day. She was doing her best, so I won't put the blame on her. What host puts a brand new server on a large table? There were 11 people in our party, so that was not a good choice at all. Give the big party to someone experienced for goodness sakes! In all we were in the restaurant for two hours, and I can't see why I would ever return--to any location. By the way, this is all coming from a very forgiving group, because about half of us had been or are servers. read more

Yowza. Out of the first 3 drinks I asked for. No waffles, gravy, biscuits. Crazy slow service. Big thumbs down

Well. The food at other tables looked good. We heard the food was good. But after they told us they couldn't take our order for at least 20 minutes and then waiting over an hour after they took our order, then telling us they were running out of clean dishes --we still had no food. And we had to be somewhere so we left. They clearly can't run a kitchen. read more

We ordered their caramel cold brew and you could only taste the caramel syrup it was so strong we couldnt drink it. Food took 40 minutes for our 2 plates of food to come out. Most of the customers there already had their food so im not sure why it took so long. The eggs Benedict was highly rated on their menu but my egg came out practically hard boiled. Staff was friend and our waiter was busting her ass. After we paid they had a survey and we said we didn't like the food and the long wait time. The manager came out to talk to us and gave us 2 20% off coupons to make up for our experience. But we gave them to another customer bc were traveling through and I would go back either. read more

So slow! Do not go if you are traveling. We waited forever ! Waited for water, waited for food!

Ordered for three. My meal came timely and was pretty good. Other two meals arrived after I had completed eating mine. (And I ate slow). Wife had salmon Benedict. It was on a bagel, not an English muffin and the potatoes were hard and cold. My granddaughter had the pillows and they were okay. Prices were high. Hope they get lots of tourists for one-time visits. I would be quite surprised if the locals will support it. Many better options in town. read more
