It is located at the mouth of the Richmond/Louisiana exit. It is set up like a jazz caf? with art on all the walls, large windows to let in the maximum amount of light, and soft jazz and R&B plays in the background to provide a lively vibe to enjoy your meal. The Klub has a very friendly and responsive wait and cashier staff. It boasts really short lines due to their incredible service and a wait staff brings your meals to you to make sure that your food gets to you hot. It has a very organized and clean self-service station with everything stacked up exactly where it needs to be.
If you get there early enough they will even bring a menu to your car so that you can order immediately and get your food promptly. This Klub opens extra early, 7 am, for those early birds and even has a special for people who are early risers.
Offered from 7 am to 9 am, the breakfast special is your choice of bacon, pan sausage, or ham with two eggs, potatoes or grits, and a choice of thickly-cut country Texas toast or a scrumptious buttermilk biscuit. All of that delicious home-cooked meal for a minuscule $6.25 is the best value the Klub has to offer. Compare that to other breakfast restaurants and caf?s where you can expect to shell out upwards of $10.
Recommended is the Kountry Sausage & Eggs. It is comprised of delicious, fanned smoked Kountry links & two eggs served with lightly-salted, reasonably peppered potatoes mixed with red and green bell peppers and saut?ed onions or wholesome buttery grits, and your choice of Texas toast or a biscuit.
Other options are their Three Egg Omelets and the plate sized waffles. Take your pick from a Swiss cheese, spinach, and mushroom omelet, the three cheese omelets, the three meat and cheese omelets, or the enormous veggie omelets. None of the eggs are too salty or overly seasoned. The eggs are light and fluffy and perfectly compliment the potatoes or grits, and toast or biscuit that come with it. The waffle that this place cooks up are 8 inches in diameter and are made with strawberry, banana, or walnut mixed into the batter. They are served lightly coated in powdered sugar and don?t need syrup added to them. They melt in your mouth.
Primarily a breakfast joint, the Klub does offer a variety of sandwiches, salads, and daily lunch specials. Signature dishes that you will be hard pressed to find anywhere else would have to be the Krawfish Fettuccine and the Tie-Bow Chiken. The Krawfish Fettuccine is a fusion of Cajun and Italian cuisine. It incorporates a creamy, cheesy Cajun sauce with tender crayfish served over fettuccine pasta garnished with jumbo shrimp and concatenated by garlic toast. The Tie-Bow Chikin is another attempt at this fusion. It combines thickly sliced grilled chicken placed deliberately over a bed of farfalle pasta and served with a white cream sauce that is flanked by garlic toast.
The prices are kept reasonable by the fact that they are only open until 2pm daily and Rice University students who have a hedgehopper card save an additional 15% off of their orders. It is definitely a place to go if you need a change of scenery and offers its own literature section if you choose to read other material besides your textbooks. It is also great place to take your parents for families? weekend or that special someone on a date. I took my mom.
