Salmon egg rolls
Sharay D.

Make sure you make a reservation and still be prepared to wait a little bit. But once you sit the waitresses are quick to take your order while the kitchen staff works so efficiently and smooth. First time here and they did not disappoint. Ordered the dalmon eggrolls...only bad thing about that is they come with ketchup...BUT... you can ask for aoli. The eggrolls had a perfect crisp and the salmon wasnt dry. The catfish could have been fried hard but it was seasoned well. The grits were good too. The croissant had a honey glaze to it. The salmon hash had a wonderful melody of flavors. Would definitely come back as im from Cali, but good luck finding a parking spot!

Stopped by Breakfast Boyz fresh off my flight and was starving! This location is conveniently about 10 minutes from the airport, which was perfect. After booking my reservation through Yelp, we were seated immediately. Our waitress was attentive, and made some great recommendations. The food came out quickly, although I wish it had been hotter--it was more warm than hot. Aside from that, everything was tasty and I enjoyed my meal. We ordered the catfish nuggets, salmon eggrollls, the jerk chicken and sweet potato waffles and the catfish, shrimp and grits. The total came up to around $115 and I was able to pay via the In Kind app. I'd definitely return the next time I'm in the area!

This is really a tradition now...soon as I land in ATL,this is my first stop! Went to spend time with my son for his birthday at college. Came down with my nephew who I told this is usually my breakfast stop when I arrive. Greeted soon as we walked in & asked if we wanted to sit inside or out. We chose inside. Busy as usual but great service like always. Food made fresh...delicious & hot as always. I love how the severs write their names on your table because most of the time you forget the servers names. Good music playing in the back ground.

It was my second time going back there. I had a solo breakfast/ lunch. I ordered the catfish shrimp and grits. Initially, I was a little question about about the name. However, it was delicious, not overdone. The right amount of both ingredients, and including some spinach, which I love. It delicious and I couldn't leave there without getting the peach basil tea and some to go I must try.

Such a great spot, good service and amazing food. The lobster Mac n cheese is to die for, the breakfast sandwich is sturdy and sooo yummy.

I brought my wife and baby here on her suggestion after many years of not going even though it's right down the street haha! Honestly they've done a great job with the place! It went from being an underused cafe to being a line out the door establishment that's very popular. The thing that struck me the most was how friendly the staff was. There are so many restaurants where you feel like your lucky to get service or that they really don't care. Like, they actually came by to check on us and make sure we had what we needed. The food was pretty awesome and the prices were very reasonable. I love what they've done with the decoration. There's some historic paintings and pictures that are pretty cool in the downstairs portion. My wife had the bacon egg and cheddar sandwich with a side of grits. It was a great choice and we have since ordered that again. The baby likes pancakes so we ordered a stack of pancakes and that came out great too, even though I don't think it's technically on the menu. I had the fried green tomato stack, which was perfect because I usually end up nibbling off of my wife's and baby's plates. This place gets 5 stars for great food, great service, and reasonable pricing with a great atmosphere! If your looking for a chill brunch vibe, this is an awesome place to visit!

Service was Aaaaamazing! Food was absolutelyyyyy delicious The ambiance is everything; from the art work all the way to the color scheme of the restaurant. I sure wish we had one in California! I have zero complaints.

The ambiance was very busy. The restaurant was very loud and tightly packed. We were a 3 top at a 2 top table. The carpet was easily the best thing about the restaurant. The food was given in big portions but it was not overly tasty. We got a green tomato stack, steak and eggs and shrimp and grits. It looked better than it tasted. The basil peach tea was tasty. The service was terrible. We had to ask for silverware after we got our food because we were never given any. The server also acted upset when we asked him for refills.

Be aware--they don't honor reservations! You will wait with everyone else.
Donnell W.

TLDR: We waited 90 minutes WITH A RESERVATION made days in advance, only to be seated in a MOLDY SMELLING BASEMENT with water dripping from the ceiling. The food was decent, but the restaurant was chaotic, disorganized, and the service left much to be desired. For a birthday celebration and a party of 13, the entire experience was incredibly disappointing. My family and I took my mother-in-love to The Breakfast Boys for her birthday on a Saturday morning. We had a 12pm reservation and were not seated until 1:30pm. Yep, we waited 90 minutes WITH A RESERVATION. Despite making our reservation weeks in advance, there was apparently an event in town that brought a large number of people to the restaurant. Cool. I understand that restaurants get busy. But it appears this establishment has no awareness of how to stagger its tables in a way that allowed them to honor a reservation for 13 people that had been made weeks ahead of time. And then, after waiting 90 minutes, they took us downstairs to a MOLDY SMELLING BASEMENT. As soon as you walked down there the air smelled old, damp, and wet. It's as if the moisture had settled into the basement and never fully dried out. To make matters worse, we could see water dripping from the ceiling, which made the space feel even more neglected and concerning. This is where they took a reservation after waiting 90 minutes. We get down there, and the tables (plural!) aren't even prepared for our party. The dude is standing beside us on the walk is talkie begging people, multiple times, to come bust down "table 80." They then proceeded to tell us that we couldn't sit together. We also couldn't sit NEAR one another, wait... because we would have two separate servers. Given the 90 minutes it took to seat us, plus the weeks they had to prepare for our visit, that probably should have been thought through before bringing us downstairs. Hey, who am I?! We finally got seated, and our server, Bianca, was serving our large party split between tables that were distanced from one another. There was an entire party seated between us. And what I really despise about establishments like this is that they can provide you with any type of service and still mandate 20% gratuity on a SPLIT party. The food was edible. It was decent. I forgot to take pictures, and I honestly wouldn't be opposed to eating the food again. But let me be very clear. People go to restaurants for an experience, and this establishment failed to provide one. Even the smaller things became frustrating. When we sat down, I told Bianca that I would be paying for my family and my mother-in-love. When it was time to pay, she forgot to put our tickets together. I also specifically asked whether the wings came as a meal because I was ordering fries for my daughter and didn't want two large orders of fries. She told me they did. They did not. So, of course, we ended up with two large orders of fries. Y'all, I was just annoyed the ENTIRE time. The final straw came when I asked Bianca for our ticket on my way out because I was tired of sitting in a swamp. Her response and overall demeanor came across as very nice nasty, almost like, "you'll get your ticket when I bring it." That, coupled with the disregard for my earlier request to combine our tickets, forced my hand in writing this review. If you decide to visit, do so at your own risk. And perhaps go with fewer than four people. This has to be one of the most chaotic and disorderly restaurant experiences I've had in a long time. I genuinely did not want to write this review, especially after celebrating my mother-in-love's birthday, but I'm just appalled at how poorly the entire experience was handled. And, on top of that, no one even acknowledge it was her birthday lol. No song, no cake...nothing. I hate to say it, but go somewhere that will at least acknowledge you and make the $100+ you're going to spend feel, at minimum, celebrated.

Happy I finally had the opportunity to check out the very popular Breakfast Boys. Took my Husband for brunch on his birthday. I was able to easily make a reservation and edit the time when needed. The Breakfast Boys is located in charming downtown College Park. Parking is limited in front of the restaurant so we parked on a side street in a lovely neighborhood a short walk from the restaurant. Once we arrived we checked-in at the host stand and had to wait in a line outside the restaurant until our table was ready. The restaurant had benches and umbrellas to keep you in the shade while waiting but would be nice if they added a bit more for the warmer months. When the table was ready we were quickly seated and greeted by our exceptional server, King. We started with catfish nuggets that were very flavorful and paired well with a remoulade. To drink we tried the passionfruit mimosas that were pretty good and made well. For our entrees I had the chicken and pancakes and my husband had the catfish, grits and eggs. The birthday boy loved the grits as they were very creamy but his eggs were fried a bit too hard. My pancakes were pretty flavorful to where they were already slightly sweet without syrup but not in an overwhelming way. The chicken was good too. Most restaurants usually offer a treat for birthdays so was surprised they didn't. Either the food is great, the menu has many southern breakfast classics and vegan options. Will be back to explore more of their entrees.

Catfish shrimp and grits
Kimberly B.

Visited Saturday around 9am as a party of 7. There was no wait when we arrived and we were actually the only group waiting. The initial interaction with the host felt a bit overly assertive for the situation. I understand there was a designated waiting area and procedures to follow, but the tone came across as if she was managing a large crowd, when it was just our group. Things did settle once we were seated. We also noticed a vent above our table dripping water, which was not ideal. Our server, Keisha, took care of our order and service was handled without issue after that. We ordered a variety of dishes including fish and grits, steak and eggs, a burger, waffle, and a kids' meal. The food came out well and everyone enjoyed their meal overall. Automatic gratuity was added for our party size. Overall, a solid experience with good food, though a few service and environment details at the start took away slightly from it.

The food at The Breakfast Boys was AMAZING. I had the salmon and potatoes, my wife had the jerk chicken with sweet potato pancakes, and my kids had the chicken and waffles. We also ordered the salmon egg rolls. Everything tasted great, and I honestly have no complaints about the quality of the food and service. Unfortunately, I was disappointed with what happened when we received our bill. Our party consisted of only five people my wife and me and our three children, ages 12, 5, and 2. Our two youngest children shared a meal, so we only ordered four main courses. When we received our bill, we discovered that a mandatory 20% "large party" fee had been added. What bothered me most was that no one informed us about this charge before we ordered. There was no verbal explanation from our server that our family of five would be considered a "large party" or that an additional 20% would automatically be added to our bill. We didn't arrive in a large car, the whole family can fit in a compact car. I understand that restaurants can establish policies regarding service charges and automatic gratuities, and these types of charges are not automatically prohibited under Georgia law. However, customers should be clearly informed about mandatory charges before ordering so they can understand the actual cost of their meal and make an informed decision. I also find it surprising that two adults dining with three children including a 2-year-old would be considered a "large party." Had the 20% policy been clearly disclosed to us beforehand, at least we would have known what to expect. Discovering it only when the bill arrived took away from what would have been a complete great experience. The food was genuinely fantastic, and I would absolutely give the kitchen high marks. I just believe The Breakfast Boys needs to be much more transparent about its 20% large-party fee, including exactly what party size qualifies. Customers shouldn't find out about a mandatory 20% charge for the first time when the check arrives.

Wife took me to ATL for the day from Houston for my birthday. Stop here at the breakfast Boys. We were greeted with respect. Our server Bianca took care of us. The food was on point ( great for those that don't know what on point means)

Ask the Community - The Breakfast Boys

Will we be seated upon arrival,Since we made reservations?

I had a reservation and was seated immediately.

Is there an 18% automatic gratuity added to all bills there?

When I went about a week ago, there was not an automatic gratuity. Hope this helps

Is this paid parking?

From what I remember, their parking lot is limited so I ended up street parking.

I drive by often and see a lot of folks outside standing, if you do not make reservations, how long is the wait generally to be seated?

Use the waitlist status that's available on yelp! It's super helpful so you can get on the waitlist before arriving! They'll text you when your table is ready!

Are there gluten-free options on the menu? Is care taken during food preparation to avoid cross-contamination for those with Celiac Disease?

Yes we offer over 80% of our menu in. gluten Free option.. using rice flour instead of wheat flour, gluten free wraps and many dishes are naturally gluten free.

Do you offer bottomless mimosas?

Yes they do

Is there a DJ during brunch?

No.

What is the parking situation? Easy to find?

The parking is free. On the street parking.

Do they take reservations?

Yes.

The atmosphere is lively, colorful, and full of energy with music and a fun crowd. The interior is cute and welcoming without feeling overly fancy, and it's the type of place that works well for brunch with friends when you actually want a little vibe with your meal. If you're trying to figure out what to order, I'd look at the Salmon & Grits and definitely add the Honey Butter Biscuits. The salmon and grits are one of the menu favorites, and those biscuits seem to be one of the things you really shouldn't leave without trying. The portions here are also pretty generous. Service can depend on how busy they are, but overall the staff is friendly and personable. This is a popular brunch spot, though, so I wouldn't necessarily come during a peak period expecting to be in and out quickly. Parking is better than you might expect for a restaurant on Main Street. There's free street parking and a larger lot behind the building, although obviously the easier spaces disappear when the restaurant gets busy. Overall, good food, a fun brunch atmosphere, friendly service, and a convenient College Park location not far from the airport. I'd come back, particularly if I were meeting friends and wanted brunch somewhere with a little energy rather than a quiet breakfast.

The real problem arose when the bill arrived. The fish sandwich, advertised on the menu for $10 (valid Monday through Thursday from 12:00 to 4:00 PM), was charged at $19 when we dined there on Thursday, September 3rd. We were never informed of a price change when ordering. When I brought the discrepancy to our server, she consulted the manager, who only discounted one of the two sandwiches. Because we were on a tight schedule, we paid the remaining balance and left. Automatic gratuity is standard practice at many restaurants these days, but if customers are expected to pay it without exception, the establishment needs to deliver accurate billing and attentive service in return. False advertising on menu pricing paired with reluctancy from management to correct an issue on their end makes it difficult to justify supporting this spot in the future.
