Arlington has always been a good breakfast town.
From Skillet N’ Grill and Division Street Diner on the west side to Pioneer Restaurant on the east, Division Street alone is worth a stop on a morning trip to or from Dallas.
That’s not to mention Good Day Cafe, JayJay’s, JR’s, Tom’s and a half-dozen other cafes. Compare Arlington’s breakfast scene to Austin, which does not have a single old-school cafe.
So Breakfast Brothers is in the right city. Now, it’s in the best location.
The newest Breakfast Brothers, Arlington’s homegrown hit restaurant of viral video fame, is open at 400 E. Front St.
That’s only 1 mile from AT&T Stadium, and perfectly positioned to feed the morning crowd lining up for lunch at Hurtado Barbecue.
Owner Rickey Booker’s Southern-cooking standout was off to a busy grand opening last weekend, but the kitchen seemed up to the task.
The dining room tables were filled with Arlington’s beloved red velvet Belgian waffles with chicken or catfish, or with orders of shrimp-and-grits or catfish-and-grits.
Breakfast Brothers serves breakfast and lunch all day. If you want lamb chops and scrambled eggs for lunch, they’re yours. If you want blackened catfish for breakfast, it’s yours.
You can guess the favorites: the red velvet waffle ($17.75 with chicken tenders), a fried or grilled pork chop basket ($15.75), a fried rib basket ($16.75) and the signature chicken or shrimp fried rice ($18.75).
The lunch menu also includes fried rice combos, collard greens, a lobster roll and lobster mac-and-cheese.
Breakfast Brothers started in 2017 as a late-night food truck outside Booker’s King of Diamonds nightclub. He turned it into a morning food empire and opened in 2021 at 130 E. Bardin Road.
In an earlier Eats Beat Live streaming show, Booker said he looked at the location and saw fans parking and walking from the restaurants to football and baseball games.
“Arlington gets behind local restaurants,” he said. “They support you. …. It’s amazing to know you have this kind of support.”
He has a streaming YouTube.com show, “In the Kitchen With the Breakfast Brothers.”
Both Breakfast Brothers locations in Arlington are open daily for breakfast and lunch only; 682-284-1765 downtown, 682-399-8103 in south Arlington, breakfastbrothers.com.
