Maitland Breakfast Club

The breakfast is pretty standard, it’s good, but it’s not going to blow you away. And the interior does look a little old, could use a different coat of paint in my own opinion. But we keep coming here for the service. Everyone is super friendly and really attentive, and the food it’s priced appropriately for what they offer. All-​in-​all, a good breakfast spot!

Every empty table was covered in dirty dishes, which was quite a few. No one acknowledged my daughter and I when standing waiting for someone to clear tables. The customer service could use some work, but the food was actually fantastic. Glad I gave them a chance. Kudos to the cook.

I’m going to have to agree with Lauren H’s experience.
I came to this place because it had such great reviews. However, I found that the food was really flavorless. My husband and I ordered the biscuits and gravy. I order biscuits and gravy at all the breakfast places I go to because it’s my favorite dish. This is probably one of the top worse gravy I’ve ever had. It was very thick but barely had any sausage or pepper in it (two main staples of the dish). It was just like thick, bland cream. Very goopy.
I liked that the biscuits and gravy came with eggs and potatoes. But the gloopiness of the gravy really fills you up. Add the fact that it was flavorless and it made for a really unappetizing experience. We only ate half of the meal and quickly paid and left. It was a very unsatisfying meal.
I’m also confused as to why this place is so highly rated :/

I’m very confused by the 4 star rating this place has. I am extremely disappointed.
I ordered hash browns, bacon and eggs. The eggs were the only edible part.
I asked for the hash browns to be extra crispy and somehow the top was almost burned and the bottom of the hash browns were still cold and never touched the pan.
The bacon was also an anomaly. Half was charred black and the other half was floppy and uncooked.
The kids did enjoy their Mickey pancakes.

This place is just amazing! Food, prices, service! Above and beyond what you expect. Try it for breakfast or lunch. You’ll love it!

Just a bad experience all around. My wife found this place on Unilocal so we gave it a try. So I ordered a waffle, eggs, bacon, and a bowl of grits. My waffle was over cooked and cool at best. My eggs tasted like they have been sitting out for a while. The bacon was salty and just not good. The only thing that was worth eating was the grits and my water was tasty. We won’t be back.

I don’t know what the reviewer was saying about the food not having flavor, and why would you want to add so much salt to food anyway? Restaurants usually under salt the food so to please everyone… anyway…enough attention to the trolls… Onto my review!
Yes there are lots of older people here, but who cares!
The staff was so cordial, timely, and the food looked incredible even when they were so busy. I am trying to cut breads and carbs, the waitress was very accommodating to my pickiness.
The food tasted amazing and I didn’t add salt at all — who needs more sodium in their diet?
Thank you for a great dinning experience and for the great service!

Asked Google for breakfast and it brought me here. Great choice!
I had the Ultimate Omlette that is basically a meat, veggie, cheese lover egg delight. No need for lunch today.
I highly recommend this place for breakfast or lunch (looking at the menu) if you’re in this area. Not on the main drag (436) but worth the 2 block detour.

I thought I wrote a review for this place already… Oh well here it goes.
This place is LIT UP on the weekends. Old people flock to this place. Do you know why old people flock to this place? Because the food is flavorless and that’s the way old people like their food.
I’ve been here a few times; twice for lunch and once for breakfast. I ordered the turkey club for lunch both times, and they messed up my order both times. I prefer not to eat sprouts from restaurants because I got food poisoning in the past from bad sprouts. I received sprouts on my sandwiches both times. Whatever. The sandwich is good, my fries were hot, and they tasted alright after I used five packets of salt on them.
My experience during breakfast though… Yikes. I decided to be different and try the breakfast burrito. It was absolutely disgusting. It was almost as if they used leftovers from the kitchen, threw it in a blender, and wrapped it in a tortilla. Instead of salsa, it was almost as if they used tomato sauce. It was just a hot ass mess to be honest. I definitely didn’t receive what I read on the menu.
All in all, if you’re 60 years old and up, enjoy flavorless food, and don’t mind being served by former biker chicks from Daytona Beach who smell like cigarettes, this place is for you.

This is a regular diner spot but I must admit, even though the place is kind of basic,
the food is great.
I came here because it is so close to my house, (we walked there). I have come here three times and honestly nothing beats the price and convenience of this place.
I had the western omelette twice which was awesome.
I had Steak and eggs and was not a fan. I felt like the steak was too rough to chew and my potatoes were ok.
As far as diner food goes, I look for
1. great coffee
2. great food quality and portion
3. reasonable prices
This place does the job but I have had better. Coffee is good enough, food portion is filling, quality is on point, and the prices are cheap. I might come back again since it is a reliable breakfast spot.

Fork tender country fried steak & gravy, delicious red skin breakfast potatoes, piping hot homemade biscuit biscuit & scrambled eggs with cheddar. Great breakfast, the eggs were a little over cooked but other than that it was excellent. Glad I found this place while I was visiting from Tampa.
Back again for day 2 of breakfast and this time I got the Gravy Dream, it didn’t disappoint! Delicious! The servers excellent and your food comes out quickly. Posting more pics from today.

In the land of chain restaurants Galore, Maitland Breakfast Club serves up a good breakfast that is better than the chain options within the vicinity.
I wasn’t wowed by the food but I was definitely more than satisfied and it was good quality food. I ordered the french with a side of turkey sausage. Both were tasty and I appreciated that they offered turkey options.
It’s menu primarily consists of breakfast items along with a couple lunch options like sandwiches and fish and chips.
We went there on Saturday morning with a group of 10 people and was seated right away. It wasn’t a particularly large restaurant but the seating was more than adequate.
The service was ok.
Check it out!

Must have breakfast!
Veggie delight omelette with hashbrowns and rye toast.
Decent coffee and friendly quick service.

The environment is busy; hustle and bustle. The staff is friendly and approachable. PMA, positive mental attitude is definitely present. My daughter is enjoying her experience with her Mickey Mouse pancake :). The food is made on the spot and it took less than 15 mins. This is definitely a place I’d visit and recommend.

This is a nice place if your craving that diner type breakfast. Décor wise its nothing fancy, a diner feel with diner food. Kind of tucked away on its own nut very busy so people are aware of it. Not super amazing but we’ll cooked and has that at home comfort that is expected when it comes to breakfast. The portions are large so I’m sure you’ll get your share.
Prices average at about 7.00 a plate. They do have a kids meal, changing station in bathrooms and high chairs for the young ones. They have tables and booth seating. Large selection of breakfast meals including a healthy eater section. Table service which is always great.

My friend and I stopped in on a Saturday late morning and were happy to find an immediate seat and great food. The service was fast and the food was quite good! Everyone in the restaurant seemed to be a regular and knew the staff by name. Definitely check this little spot out!

Stumbled upon this place on Sunday as we were looking for a brunch place near Altamonte. I was not disappointed! Shortly said, these people have good quality breakfast items and a nice quaint environment with reasonable prices. I would come back again to try different items.
For the brunch I ordered the Gravy Dream, a 3 egg omelette with sausage, onions, potatoes, jack and cheddar cheeses, and sausage gravy with hash browns on the side. They also offered another bread so I picked the English muffin. Food came about 15 minutes later. While the hash browns, eggs, sausage, onions and potatoes were all fairly standard, I enjoyed the sausage gravy quite a bit. It was a tad bit salty and the gravy itself was overwhelming, especially midway through (that omelette had gravy on top AND inside). Would have preferred a little less gravy but I’m sure some others would say the opposite!
Most important factors to me however, were the hot and freshness of my food. For what I had, the food was hot and had little grease. My girlfriend’s french toast looked delicious and fruit were fresh too. I came in expecting a quality breakfast and I came out feeling full (and sleepy!). So definitely a plus for me. Doesn’t hurt that service was relatively quick compared to other places I’ve had breakfast. Restaurant was clean as well.
I can recommend this as a good place to enjoy breakfast with family and friends. I’ll return to this place when the chance presents itself.
The location itself is not located on 436 but off of a small little road in a small plaza. Pretty close off of 436.

This was a great experience! I had been wanting to go here for years but it never happened. We were in the area today and took the leap. There was a small wait at the front and no list — they just pay attention to the order of people walking in. I think we waited 10 minutes on a Sunday at 11:15. The staff were super friendly and quick in that diner fashion although not pushy. I ordered first and made a few healthy substitutions to my meal. I made a joke about it and our server was very good natured about it. When my BF ordered she picked up on the healthy vibe and asked him questions to make sure he was getting the healthy food he wanted (Do you want bread or no? Yes. Ok, do you want the toast dry? Yes.) I liked that she was able to predict our needs.
I ordered the turkey dill crêpe with no cheese, add avocado. I kept the hollandaise as my weekly splurge. It was delicious!
BF ordered the Ultimate Omelet with no sour cream which he also enjoyed.
We both got sides of fruit and the fruit cup was pretty large.
Their menu is strikingly similar to First Watch. Not sure what’s up with that but it made me happy!
Overall it was a great experience and I will definitely be back!

This was a tough review to sort out. I visited for a late breakfast on my way to visit my Grandfather in the hospital so I was looking for a hearty breakfast and they certainly delivered. However, as other reviewers have mentioned — the décor and service are nothing to write home about. I arrived a bit after 11 am on a weekday, so I was a bit after the breakfast crowd but before the worst of lunch. The restaurant is seat yourself, which can be lovely, but I was a little disappointed to find a number of empty tables overflowing with dirty dishes. I hung about at the front waiting for them to be cleared and must have confused one of the servers terribly, as she kept telling me «wherever you like» and finally was near enough for me to answer «Um, nothing seems to be clean». Maybe I’m just prissy but I have no interest in sitting at table full of someone else’s dishes and then waiting for the server to come clear it off.
Once seated, there was a bit of a wait to order and for my food, but I did wonder perhaps if I’d annoyed them by not wanting to buss my own table. Regardless — the food added another star to what would have been a decidedly two star experience. I went with the Crown Turkey omelet. My server made a point of saying that it was what the Orlando Sentinel reviewer had raved about. I had no idea what review she was talking about but smiled and nodded. The omelet was divine — smoked turkey and spinach inside, a very good hollandaise, diced tomatoes and Jack cheese outside. It reminded me of an even better version of an old favorite from First Watch that they no longer offer. The rye toast was good — but toast. But their house potatoes were lovely — slices just thick enough, tender, but with some really nicely brown and toasty bits from sitting on the griddle. I did have some trouble finding my server to request a drink refill, which seemed odd since the entire restaurant is one large room. I made eye contact with two other servers, but maybe they just weren’t feeling the team spirit that day because no one asked if I needed anything. If I lived in Orlando, I would have visited a second time before reviewing, but unfortunately I can’t see making a 2 hour drive (one-​way) just to give this place a second chance. The food was really very good, but perhaps not enough to make up for the messy restaurant and half-​hearted service.

I’m just totally digging this place!
I find the menu items are a great bargain for the amount of food you are receiving. I tend to place pick up orders for lunch from here since it’s so convenient. I always appreciate how they package condiments, utensils, etc in a side brown bag without ever being asked.
Dining-​In is a pleasure when you get the right server. Don’t get me wrong, everyone here is friendly, but some servers are more efficient than others. Want some ideas on things to order? EVERYTHING! But if you can’t order everything, then try the Gravy Train Omelette or Mama’s Favorite for breakfast. If you’re looking for lunch, then grab the Maitland club. There’s also a breakfast and lunch special menu for patrons on a budget.
Side note, the onion rings and breakfast sausage links here are awesome! The onion rings are an option as a side to your sandwich. It’s not listed on the menu, but it is available! I love how when I took 1 bite from the onion ring and it didn’t fall apart. Woo! Nothing worse for an onion ring eater than a mouth full of onion while the breading gets left behind on your plate. Don’t miss the breakfast sausage links! 2 links per side order, but so worth it. The link has a great snap for texture and the flavors of sweet and salty meld well.
Anyway, I honestly never ever had a bad meal out of all the times I’ve been here. It’s traditional diner food done right!
