The Breakfast Bar did NOT disappoint! We came looking for a good breakfast, and they delivered. The chicken and waffles were excellent--the chicken was crispy, well-seasoned, and had that real Southern-style crunch, while the waffles were warm, fluffy, and lightly dusted with powdered sugar. The sweet-and-savory combination was on point. And then there was the chicken-and-waffle sandwich with bacon. Whoever decided to put crispy chicken, smoky bacon, and waffles together understood the assignment. It was indulgent, messy in the best possible way, and absolutely worth it. Even the drink was good--refreshing and a nice complement to a pretty serious breakfast. The portions were generous, the food came out looking just as good as it tasted, and this was not one of those breakfast spots that gets hyped up and then leaves you wondering what everybody was talking about. We came to Greenville looking for some of the best waffles in town, and The Breakfast Bar earned its place on the list. It's a small place is patience is required for the service but no complaints here. Would definitely come back. 5 stars from us! read more

If you're looking for a hearty home cooked breakfast with soul this is the place for you. The grits are like grandma made, all nice and creamy. Order the OG and get sausage patties. A must do when in G-Vegas! read more

This food is terrible. Eggs cooked on high heat, chicken cooked in burnt grease. Wouldn't recommend.

One of the best diners I've ever been to! Good food, kind staff, and a great atmosphere. It may seem unassuming at first but it is so cozy!

Food was great. Takes a minute but cooked to order and did not disappoint . It's a must if in Greenville. Thank you ms Quinetta for the great food and service. read more

Good food. Reminds me of grandma's house. Had the pork chop and added gravy. The gravy is so good. It's salty and chunky and yum on the pork chop. Toast was perfect. Over hard eggs were a bit lacy but still good. People were super nice. Playing gospel music on Sunday then R&B after haha. read more

Poor slow service. They had an opportunity to impress with a kitchy little restaurant. Would not recommend. Waited very long time for our food. Food wasn't great either. read more

Hearty breakfast, cooked with love! Scoped out this diner style restaurant prior to our visit to NC. Due to construction, parking was a tad difficult, but the food and friendly employees made up for that. Adding The Breakfast Bar to our list of restaurants to visit when in the area. read more

Food and service was great. Friendly people. Definitely worth a try. Atmosphere is diner like inside and outside is very nice.

The Breakfast Bar (aka: The Trap House of Deliciousness) Don't let the location fool you. The only danger here is eating way more than you planned. The food is THAT good. Top highlights: * The shrimp and grits? Easily Top 5 of my life, and I've had shrimp and grits in multiple states, brunches, and one questionable wedding. * The fried chicken? Crispy, seasoned, juicy like somebody's grandma is in the back refusing to give up her recipe. * You will absolutely find yourself saying "just one more bite" at least six times. Now, the minor warnings: * The bathrooms are small like "hold your purse, your coat, and your breath" small. * The floor has a little... personality. Let's just say it creaks in a way that makes you think twice about walking too heavy after a plate of chicken and waffles. But hey, character builds charm, right? Other than that? 8/10, will definitely be back, and I'm bringing people with me next time i'm partly to share the food, partly to test the floor capacity. read more

Service was good. I ordered online and went to pick up my order. They forgot my eggs but after calling they had no problem remaking my order. The only downside is that I requested carside delivery and after calling and waiting no one came. A few workers were occupied outside smoking. The food was ok, nothing to rave about. I ordered the salmon Cake, chocolate chip waffle, Belgian waffle and eggs. The eggs were good, salmon cake was a little salty and waffles were ok. read more

We got seated within 20-30minutes! The staff were very friendly. The food was amazing and I definitely would come here again! The only downside was the wait for the food but it was packed. The outside seating was nice, my family had a great experience. This is a great family spot! read more

I enjoyed the greeting at the door and the food is excellent, my first visit. I enjoyed pancakes and eggs. My second visit, I enjoyed chicken and waffles, and my service was fast, I drank my coffee and it was amazing, the restaurant had a calm ambient vibe, lots of people, my food taste so good. read more

This was an unexpected find! I'd have to agree with many of the folks on here already, so let me tell you a little about my experience... The Atmosphere Well, if it's your first time, you might be off out by the look of the front of the store. But let me assure, it's all good and there's no worries! You actually should, follow the signs to park around back where there is plenty of parking! Go in through the outside seating area. The young lady outside greeted us jovially with a smile and directed us indoors. The outside is a nice little covered porch area with plenty of seating and views outside. The inside has a classic hole in the wall diner feel; but the good kind. It was packed with folks having a good time with their families. Me + 3 ate outside. The Nosh I came for breakfast and breakfast did I indeed partake! I ended up getting an omelette with salmon cakes as my protein. It was pretty good! The savory salmon cakes and the velvety eggs with jalapeños and spinach made quite the impression in my mouth. The chicken and waffles were quite good and the waffles were crispy! The toast was nice and crunchy and buttery and thick -- oooh baby! Coffee was nice a strong. Overall, it was a solid breakfast! The Service In a word: excellent. From the aforementioned jovial greeting to the host to the server, everyone was helpful and kind and made you feel welcome and relaxed without being up in your business too much! Perfect balance. I will certainly be coming back and telling others about this little gem! read more

Really more like a 3.5, our server dipped on us, but the supporting staff were nice and accommodating. The fish was crispy, could use a little more seasoning. Ambiance can use some work, it was a bit of a hotbox, virtually no A/C, small tables. The whole experience was just uncomfortable. read more

Great service, excellent food at a reasonable price. Try the shrimp and grits, not a big bowl but more than you can eat with perfect shrimp!!! Big Dave gives a thumbs up to the omelet and strawberry lemonade. read more

Visiting a friend in the Greenville area and she recommended The Breakfast Bar, which is black owned and operated! Experience was great! Our server was attentive and friendly. Food was amazing; portion was bigger than I expected, which is always a plus and potential leftovers for small plate eaters. Definitely would recommend for others to try it out...weekends I've heard get pretty packed, so ideally would go on a weekday. read more

The great reviews brought me to The Breakfast Bar, I had just had to see for myself what the hype was about. I'm visiting from out of town so I was a bit confused on the parking situation, be mindful that there are some signs that will lead you to park in the back of the establishment. Honestly, the area was sketchy, the parking side of The Breakfast Bar gives you the view to some old rail road and some abandoned structures... but let's go in. Ok, walk through the door and it looks neat on the outside, neat set up and there were some folks already finishing up their breakfast, good signs to have people early for some good food. Took a bit to get the server to come around to our table, which btw the tables need to be wiped out often as being outside the accumulate dust. We got our order taken. First, drinks two OJ's... man, I mean, if it's not going to be a fresh squeezed OJ that's fine but I'm gonna need ya'll to spend a bit more and get some good quality OJ.. I almost feel i got served Sunny Delight. The food was good, not here to knock it. My partner got a chicken sandwich which I do gotta give it to you, that chicken was delicious, but my regular breakfast plate was nothing special about it. Oh, also... NAPKINS! Man, i only got one paper roll napkin and that was it! C'mon, help us messy eaters not be so messy. You guys got a good thing going on but certainly can use some upgrades. Keep up the good work and you guys will do amazing! The girls in the kitchen were surely very kind. See ya'll hopefully when I come back around. read more

The Breakfast Bar - Morning eats... starting off with OJ - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Greenville, North Carolina

We were seated and served our coffee, after that we asked for some recommendations for sides and the server was very friendly and helpful. Food came in timely manner and was delicious, especially the grits that were recommended as a side. Price was good for the food we had. All in all a good experience. The neighborhood is run down around the restaurant but we didn't go to sight see, we went to eat. 5 star! read more

The food was fantastic, it was heavy and greasy but absolutely delicious. The service was great however they were missing some items that were shown on the menu (hash browns, liquor for cocktails they advertised, etc). It was slightly over priced based on the location and the cleanliness of the restaurant but good lord that food was good. read more

The Breakfast Bar - Bombay Chicken - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Greenville, North Carolina

So many things went wrong so let's start at the beginning. Half of the building looked broken down and abandoned before we finally found the door at the very back. When entering there is no signs or instructions on if it's seat yourself or wait for someone. We finally went to the bar and someone said we can pick and someone will be right over. The water had a weird aftertaste and the silver ware was touching the table which to me is very unsanitary. I ordered the chocolate chip waffles and only received one but the menu said waffles, plural. Half of the table's food came out before the other half and was cold by the time everyone at the table had their food. My mom can't eat eggs and asked for no eggs and still had eggs on her plate touching her other food and never recieved her hash browns until 15 minutes later after she had to ask the waitress. While my dad was trying to count out a tip the waitress stood there silently and watched him count out the tip before taking it off the table. Then they also took our plates off the table while we were ACTIVELY eating, half a bowl of grits that we were working on and some toasted we hadn't finished. Just snatched the plate up and didn't even ask if we were done. Safe to say we will not be returning. read more

The food is bomb. I was visiting AB's find them online and the service is everything as well

me and my wife visited The Breakfast Bar a couple of days ago. The premise is gaudy at best. Here are the basics. It's literally a bar that serves bad breakfast food. Customers were actually taking shots of something at 10 in the morning. My wife couldn't get orange juice with her breakfast because they were using it for cocktails. Vulgar extremely vulgar music playing. Lots of sexual themes in the music. There were children and elderly people in the restaurant at the time. The whole building was dirty, filth and gunk caked up around the entire dining room. The bathrooms were so disgusting I gagged walking into the men's room. Then we come to the food. It was terribl. The waffle was made of some weird flour. My wife's shrimp and grits were swimming in a pool of oil and grease. And the best part, hair in my French toast that was burnt and soggy at the same time. We ended up only eating a bite of each item. Once I found the hair we left. We weren't seeking a free meal and taking a single bite out of our food items doesn't equal to be a free meal. The manager didn't even come to see what was wrong. Overall one of if not THE WORST experiences I've ever had at a dining establishment. My biggest regret is not taking photos. I reached out to the "company" on facebook but I've been ignored. read more

Tried this for the first time after my mom tried them. Firstly wanted to do a to go order. No one answered the phone. After 6 calls I just decided to ride up since it was only a few minutes away. Greeted and placed our orders. Which then began the long 45 min wait. Honestly I think they didn't see our order in the back. But i received a text saying my food was ready which would've been very convenient if the food was actually ready then. It was 20 more minutes before it was. Then it came out in separate bags, despite being on the same ticket. No apology for the wait, no offer to comp, not even an offer of water after waiting almost an hour for our food. But all of that would be understandable if the prices matched the menu. Also: my waffle was not at all crispy like the description. Hope they get better because food is good. But they gotta get better organized. read more

I love this place! The food was amazing the service was incredible and were made to feel very welcome. Will definitely be mine breakfast go to place whenever I am nearby read more

One of the most enjoyable breakfast experiences of my life. The atmosphere was everything you could hope for, the staff was wonderful, and the food was out of this world. read more

Very poor experience. EXTREMELY LONG WAIT! Waited over an hour for eggs and french toast with only 3 tables total that were seated. Extremely small dining area and very poor setup in terms of efficiency or speed. Food was OK. read more

Good: everything was clearly cooked to order. Fried chicken was great. Service was good, about what you'd expect in a local diner. Bad: decor is super basic. Not sure on the cleanliness but nothing obviously dirty. Food took a super long time to come out. Breakfast sandwich is super basic. I could have made it at home in 3 min and saved $7. Not sure how this place gets 4.5 stars. It's average at best. read more

Delicious food, wonderful atmosphere, and excellent customer service!!! Chicken & waffles a must have, honestly everything is delicious. Try them, I promise you that you will not be disappointed read more

The food was great but the restaurant was dirty. Our booth had spider webs near it and the table was chipping in my lap. If the place got a good clean, it would be 5 stars!! read more

I have never waited so long in my entire life for food. They were out of coffee and sausage.... it's a breakfast place. My water cup has been empty for an hour. I could've re built this restaurant before my food came out. No one has checked on us either. The ac is dripping beside us and i began to wonder if that's where they got our water because i mean it tastes terrible. anyways i wouldn't recommend this place if you have anywhere to be in the next week. read more

Horrible service again!!! Just close it down. No customer service. Just Rude!! Try to give Black Business a chance and your ignorant employees mess it up. Never again!! read more

Such great food. The French toast were to die for very fluffy and flavorful. I ordered chicken and French toast and the chicken was very moist as well. Not in the best location but the food and service was outstanding ! read more

Come and check this place out, and don't let the outside fool you. Situated on the west side of Greenville just off of 5th street near the Frat and sorority houses lies a small restaurant with big potential. In an effort to support local businesses, I have only just recently learned of this place and have to say we will be back. It's called The Breakfast Bar, and for a small restaurant, they have big plans for growth. My daughter and I both had the #8 with scrambled eggs and French Toast. The toast was just as we like it, cinnamon with a hint of vanilla. The omelette looked delicious so will probably go that way next time. The only drawback was there were no cheese biscuits to try. Look for them on social media. read more
