Where It All Started

Our History

The Breakfast Club opened for business in April 2002 with a fresh interior, retaining plenty of diner nostalgia while celebrating George’s favorite time period – the 1980’s. After nearly two decades of serving customers from near and far, our Allston location closed its doors in favor of our current, rejuvenated spot in downtown Malden. 

Since its opening in 2022, The Breakfast Club in Malden has served scores of customers looking for a satisfying breakfast or lunch. Here, you can expect all the classic diner staples in addition to new favorites – our menu is sure to have what you’re looking for! To view our menu or order online, click below!

Where Novelty Meets Nostalgia

Why the 80's Theme?

Before he owned Allston’s favorite diner, George worked as a mobile DJ for parties and events. He quickly found that his favorite music to spin came from the 1980’s, harkening back to the days of his youth. Thus George’s love affair with The Brat Pack era began. George outfitted the eatery with tributes to the decade, from framed movie posters and vinyl records to merchandise and collectibles from hit television programs and films, including “The Karate Kid”, “St. Elmo’s Fire” and, of course, “The Breakfast Club” (George credits overhearing the movie’s theme at a bar as his inspiration for naming the diner).
