For its first 30 years, RJ's Seafood & Steaks served only lunch and dinner. Then, when Snooky's, the iconic restaurant around the corner, closed at age 41 in February 2012, RJ's adopted its orphaned breakfast. Breakfast regulars - including more-or-less informal clubs who had met at certain times and certain tables for decades - made the transition.
