so we finally got around to checking out The Breakfast Club, in allston. its grand, great, and all around groovy. tiny little place, but super diner feel. vinyl vinyl vinyl booths and seats, chromed out surfaces, and 80's beats.the menu (if not the whole place) pays homage to the movie of the same name, with specials like The Jock, The Basket Case, The Nerd (or is it Dork? i don't remember), and the walls are also covered with 80's posters, and a Breakfast Club movie poster signed by the cast of the movie.
the food was solid. definite silver medal in the olympics good. not breaking any world records, but nothing to be ashamed about. i got The Basket Case, which is eggs any way, toast, home fries, bacon, and french toast/pancakes. it was delicious. the french toast is sprinkled with cinnamon, which is grand, and the eggs were fluffy and tasted great. the toast and homefries could have been better, with the former being a little burnt tasting and the latter having some funny aftertaste. but the wait staff was very friendly and the coffee refills were timely.
total for the bill was about 19 bucks. two people, french toast involved, not too bad. only problem is its out in allston kinda off the beaten path. i'd recommend, though. good eats.
this is the place to go if you really enjoy a classic diner atmosphere.
oh, and the 80's jams definitely needed to be cranked up a notch. when it comes to an 80's groove, i'm not satisfied unless i have to shout to be heard.
pros: good vibes, good food, good price
cons: weird homefries aftertaste, volume is too low, allston is smelly
grand total (out of 5): 4.3

The '80s music is usually louder on the weekends, when the diner is busier. It's definitely the main reason why I come here; they don't just play your typical '80s songs (e.g., "Jessie's Girl")... I heard "The Dinosaur Walk" here, a song that I haven't heard since the 7th grade.
I'm skeptical of their recent changes in menu and attitude (per Kerry), but I will withhold judgment until I go back and experience it for myself.
This is definitely true... I was there on a weekday once and I noticed the music was turned down pretty low. So I asked the guy behind the counter about it and he told me that they purposely turn up the music, almost too loud, when they are busier because that will make it less likely for you to have a normal conversation with your table without yelling, and theoretically that will make you want to leave the diner quicker.
I just they want you in and out when its busy for the quickest turnover, but when it's quiet, then they couldn't care less.
well post, i was looking the same for my breakfast club essay help.
