Buuuuuut, since Yelp wont let me add such a short review. Decided to try this place out for the first time, and this might be my food coma speaking for me, but this place is amazing Its small cafe but very nice. The place opens at 8 am and people are already making line since 7 3. We got there at about 8 1. I was warned in advanced to prepare myself mentally for the pancakes, but damn, I dont think anyone could prepare themselves enough for how good and tasty those pancakes are I came here with a group of eight. The wait was pretty long for a regular Monday after lunch time. I dont really like their system because we had one person missing and they wouldnt sit us. We literally had people skipping us after they came after us. I totally understand if its half the party missing or something like that. Thats pretty much the only big turn off. I think for a restaurant in California and their prices I think this is the best As It Gets. The portion size is huge. The Taste isnt the best in the world but some people rather eat with their eyes than with their mouths I guess. So Im okay with not having the best breakfast in the world, I like eating okay food and having leftovers LOL. Their service is good. Their prices good. Really recommend it if you want to show off size wise. But if youre hungry, dont come here Lol. Been here several times. The food is delicious I usually have the Moms French Toast. Other members in my group have had the not so secret French Toast and have nothing but rave reviews about it. The portions are HUGE and definitely shareable if you want. Usually theres a line, so be prepared. A must stop for anyone in LA. The place has an awful check in system. When our group of 5 arrived, there was no one in line. We checked in with the host and was told to wait outside. After about 1. 5 minutes of waiting, a line started to form. The host kept calling groups of 3 or 4 that arrived much later after us into the restaurant and ignored us. I went in to check and noticed he was sitting these groups in booths and tables that could have easily seated the 5 of us. When I asked him about it, he said he needed to seat the groups of 3 and 4 because there were more of them. Really What kind of reason is that After we were finally seated, our waitress took our drink orders then never came back. I had to wave her down to come take our order. By this time, it had already been an hour since we arrived at the restaurant. The food wasnt super amazing but they did give large portions. The pancakes were the only thing that wowed us we ordered one platter of pancakes to share and they were ginormous. Im surprised how well cooked the pancakes were since they were so big but they came out nice and fluffy. I was hoping for a better experience but was very disappointed with the service. Omg Where did all the stars come from And food is definitely not worth the wait. One for 6. xx. Yes its big, worth itNO. No its average Nothing special. Steak omelette. Wheres the meatThere was literally like two pieces maybe three, yes Three pieces. Omg looks so good Sad to say Whats up with the funky smell. And why is it so bland Worst burrito everMimosa was super bombbbbbb tho Yay for the star. All this for 5. 8. Wow This place was such a disappointment and I was still hungry AF nothing was even editable UGH Off to MORE THAN WAFFLES I go If you like sweet breakfast giant stacks of delicious pancakes in oreo, banana walnuts caramel, blueberry cream flavor, or French toast, this is your place Savory breakfast entrees are not as popular here, not that theyre bad. We liked Tequila Sunrise huevos rancheros but I wouldnt say its the best savory brunchbreakfast entree you could get in LA. I suggest arriving before 8 3. AM on weekends and maybe not having a group larger than 5 if you come any later. Two people can get in and out much more easily since they have a big communal seating area. For lunch, their burgers and entrees look pretty good. Oddly theres one table in seclusion in the hallway, away from all other tables. Thats a prime spot if you want to catch up with a group of 5. And its all dimly lit with red lighting, like its a VIP table of some sort. Id totally being my friends if I knew I could snag that one table. The rest of the restaurant is pretty loud. All in all Id definitely return for those pancakes and try their French toast. Okay, you have to be prepared for what youre about to experience. The portions of food here are out of control. Watch Pet Online (2017) here. If you order pancakes. I mean. huge. These pancakes are the size of a mans beer belly. If you do not think you can handle it, be sure you order just 1The scrambles here are also insanely delicious They are so rich and flavor and savory. They also give you a good amount of food. Most importantly, the food here all ranges from 1. It is quality. The people who work here are also extremely friendly. Make sure when you arrive, you sign in INSIDE and then go stand in the line that is located outside. They will call your name. The hype is REAL. The wait is LONG. The orange juice is warm. The cakes are NOT SMALLOn any given day. Head to the griddle. To MAKE THE REST OF YOUR DAY GREAAAAAAT. Dont be discouraged. By all who disagree. They didnt finish their pancakes. So they had to go pee. Order one cake. And save your stomach the pain. Leftovers are splendid. Taste just As fresh as the first day. But with a box that doesnt fit. It might be there until May. Shrugs shoulders JUST TRY ITYou need to really expect to wait. I am talking about really wait. You will be in line for around an hour. Once you get inside, you understand why people do it. This place would be 5 stars, but the wait is crazy. Once you give them your name they ask you to stand outside in line you you are they purchasing Jordans on the release date. Once inside, it is on like hot buttered popcorn. The portions are huge and the food is amazing. So. It is worth the wait unless you are aloneThe pancakes are huge here and the lines are just as long. I highly recommend coming early to avoid the lines. The omelette are delicious but the best is the wheat pancake stuffed with extra walnuts. Omg it is so light, fluffy, and the walnut adds the perfect crunch Not too sweet either which is a huge plus when these pancakes are the size of your head. Busy restaurant, because the pancakes are a tourist attraction and the French toast is to die for. The restaurant is cozy, with jazz music in the background and sports playing on their flat screens. The employees have always been pleasant to us, and I have lost count of how many times weve been here. The kitchen staff definitely earns their money, because they rock and roll. Once the server puts the order in, the kitchen will have your food out ASAP. The server assistants are quite but helpful. The parking is located in the back. Sometimes there is a guy at entrance to charge 3 and there is meter parking in front of the restaurant. Make sure to sign in at the front door and stand in line outside. My husband put his name on the list and we were immediately called, because the people in line did not put their name on the list. We headed out early morning to this place because we thought that if we get there earlier than most people do, the shorter the wait will be to seated.
