You can order just one of the pancakes instead of getting three. They are large and extremely filling. The mounds of pleasure was delicious with the Nutella and toasted coconut all topped with cream.

If you get pancakes here be sure you're really hungry. The pancakes taste amazing but they are giant. I've had the scotch on the rocks pancakes and their steak tacos are amazing too!

Tyler Barrington

Red velvet pancake was really only nice to look at. The cappuccino wasn’t good but the orange juice was delicious. Don’t see how this the #1 breakfast spot in LA unless we’re basing that on IG likes

Achille Kolla

Everything is good here! You cannot go wrong. Long line but absolutely worth the wait. The portions are ginormous but delicious. Get the sunset omelette or the red velvet pancakes .

Martin Cunanan

Those pancakes were the bomb! ???? We got the black magic/oreo and peanut butter stacks and huevos rancheros for protein.Unimaginably HUGE portions . An order of a stack can be good for 4 people.

Lana D

All rhe gd things said about those pancakes are true! HUGE and delicious!! We had the blueberry pancakes and added strawberries on top. Also had muscle smg, eggs and spinach , good as well

deema moe

kind and friendly staff , “some like it hot scrambled” was delicious ????Definitely I will come again for the scrambled ❤️

Sandrene Mathews

The Slash was an amazing challenge to my ability to consume spicy food . But an oh so delicious challenge! I substituted potatoes instead of chicken chorizo and it was heavenly.

Michael C

Best pancakes anywhere. They come in a stack of 3. It would take 4 people to eat them. Order one pancake if you don't have a couple people to share with.

Michelle Arnaiz-Dela Rosa

Oh M G!! This place rocks! Everything we ate was awesome. It's a little bit small and it gets really packed so you have to be patient but this was worth the wait.

Eijae Zanders

Red. Velvet. Pancake !!! The Black Magic (Oreo ) Pancake ....omg. every single pancake here is AMAZING and they are as big as your head so all you need to order is the pancake and nothing else

Justin Ordoveza

Great place for breakfast but be warned this place is packed. Park behind the rite aid. The some like it hot scramble was great. The salty tortilla chips were great with the scramble.

Chloe Cole ????

Very attractive waiters . I recommend the whole wheat pancakes (just ask for 1) and the Gone Shrimpin for eggs . Cant go wrong with the french toast either. Delish fresh squeezed OJ too! Love this place

Majed Alashari

Pancakes normally comes as 3 layers & it is so big. So ask for ONE layer only. Red velvet pancake was nice. Nutella franch toast was so delicious.

Ziyad m

The food was delicious . But the service very bad . For me the best thing you can order pancakes . Note : The size of pancakes huge . For 2 people one slice more than enough .

Lynette Stephen

Everything is great here. I'm a fan of the Charlie's Scramble, I believe it's called. The waiters are cute and hella cool. Sundays are two-for-one Mimosas ! Oh, and two celebrity sightings there so far

CamelBack DownFeather

BEST BREAKFAST PLACE EVER! Downside, long wait ; but it's an indication of how good this place is. Come with a friend, share a savory and a sweet dish. Just close your eyes & pick, everything is good.

naveen

great spot to sit outside one morning, people watch and eat a great breakfast : mainly pancakes bigger than your face.

Wayne Hobdy

You will love this crowded breakfast spot next to the Directors Guild Building. Just don't complain when your expectations are exceeded - just tip your waiter well (he/she will prove to be worthy).

Raghad Kh

banananna pancake , blueberry pancake , kicking and screaming tacos . order one pancake it will be more than enough for 2 to 3 persons.

Lyd A.

Loved it! Went at 3p on a Saturday & there was no line AND we got front door parking ! Mom's French Toast for me (incredible!) & Sunset People for the hubby (really incredible!) I'd totally go back.

Amanda A

This place was INCREDIBLE! While they have a full menu, when you go for the first time, you have to get brekky ! #raspberrylemonpancakes

Pineapple Froyo

Loved the golden ticket pancake ! If you can’t finish the stack but don’t want to order less, take home the leftovers! It stays super moist and tasty even hours later :)

Katerina???????????? Ieromonachou

Creme de la creme French toast and mounds of pleasure pancake and the hash it up eggs !!! Absolutely perfect!!

Ameen Aqeel

You have to exercise for a week to burn off the scrumptious peanut butter bubba French toast , I'd ask for less powdered sugar and cream.

Lailanie Gadia

Great Sunday brunch experience! I love their French Toast and lively atmosphere ! It's best to visit after 2pm when the wait isn't very long. Must come back to try their pancakes !

laurie hickey

Parking can be tricky and if you don't go early on the weekends, you are in for a long wait . It is very tight and cramped inside but the food is definitely worth it! Can't go wrong with pancakes !

Edel

The french toast is a MUST together with the pancake , but the red velvet pancake its too much sweet and i hated. The service is very fast, i liked it :)

Abdullah Alrajhi

The place is awesome, tried the cookie French toast and it is crunchy, just a heads up. If you come with your loved one, just order one plate only,all what they have are huge sizes, we couldn't finish

Eric Scott

Warning! Do not attempt to eat the pancakes alone. It's impossible. In fact, order two dishes to share among at least 3 people. The serving sizes are huge!

Christina

Get their "Black Magic" oreo pancake or creme de la creme french toast ! Make sure to order just ONE layer. Portions are ridiculously huge!!!

Christine Platzer

Phenomenal! Just Phenomenal! Go hungry! My graham cracker crusted cheesecake french toast was huge and a plate of Heaven! If I'm in Cali ever again I'll be going back!!!!!

Bob Loblaw

A popular power-breakfast spot, the French Press coffee is incredible along with their enormous omelets and scrumptious home fries . The blueberry pancakes are to die for as well the staff are so nice!

رامز الفايز

If you want to order a pancake bring your friends or family with you ;)

Hessao_

After being here a couple of times I would say my #1 is the cookie french toast , then mama's french toast then it's not a secret anymore "order half portion of everything"

Chad

THE place to go for breakfast in LA. They have so many awesome pancake combinations...stuff that I would not even imagine doing w/ pancakes . Red Velvet and Black Magic are awesome!!

@irabrianmiller

Ya know, you can order just one pancake as opposed to the traditional three. Three just ruins your afternoon. You're welcome.

LA Weekly

On a Sunday morning, the Griddle is really loud : clattering pans, a hundred shouted conversations, amplified rock & roll bouncing off the high ceilings . Read more

Ahmad S

The chocolate cookie french toast is to die for ????

Omar Leyano

Their Nutella French Toast is great. Also their breakfast tacos are amazing and they are a lil but spicy but not much

Rebecca Rowland

One plate of pancakes feeds 3. Try "tis the season." Best pumpkin pancakes on the face of the planet. So worth the looking wait to get seated. French press is great too.

H & N

Worth waiting in line . Loved the eggs the pancakes and the waffle , I can say best egg in LA

Nick Sonsteby

“Poached Y Papas” Benedict was delicious. Potato skins , ham , poached eggs , and hollandaise for days.

Hessao_

Redvelvet was worth trying,,, too sweet though.. I would personally recommend mama's french toast ???????? but do not have it after tasting the red velvet

Faris Altorki

Make sure to order just one slice of panckake????

David Cobb

The pancakes are enormous - see photo with iPhone to get scale! Very tasty but far too much for a mere mortal :) Good tip is to eat from the middle so you get some of the filling before you're full.

Glenn Street

Queues out of the door. Buzzing and lively inside. Classic US-size portions. The pancakes are the thing here - absolutely huge. Loads of other great breakfast options too.

Jeffy G.

Definitely worth the wait. Go for Mother's French toast & French press coffee ... but don't go acting like Pierre & forgetting your deodorant!
