The greater Detroit area is home to many restaurants, although not all of them serve breakfast. Restaurants that serve breakfast cater to a growing populous that includes individuals from all over, drawn to the city by the city's major companies and universities. Being a diverse city, Detroit also sees diversity in its breakfast restaurants. There are a few that specialize in the important meal, while others simply incorporate their own cultural meals into their breakfast menu.
Detroit's Breakfast House & Grill was, according to the owners, built to fill a gap in Detroit's upscale breakfast scene. The establishment can fit up to 110 people in three rooms. The menu has five variations of eggs benedict: classic, grilled beefsteak tomato Florentine, signature turkey sausage, smoked salmon, and crabcake with while grain mustard Hollandaise. Made to order custom omelets, pancakes, Belgian waffles, and a variety of frittatas (greektown, New Orleans with shrimp and Creole sauce) round out the restaurant's breakfast cuisine. In addition, there is a full-service coffee bar that serves its own home blend and a full bar.
