I love Jinky 's! Just tried the Rosemary Chicken Omelet , the chicken was a little dry and under seasoned but the overall taste of the omelet was amazeballs!

My daughter got sick here from the sunshine smoothie so watch out when you order smoothies . The food is good though. I called and told the manager and he said all their fruit is fresh. Whatever dude

I've been coming to Jinky 's for many years and this is one of my favorite breakfast spots . Love trying different kinds of chili they have. Ask for samples if you're not sure which one to get.

Try their ginormous pumpkin waffle ! You won't be disappointed!

Had an incident with Misael Acosta that resulted in a threatening, abusive verbal altercation. I have been writing about it ever since it happened in the hope of reaching his boss, Alankar Verma.

Great breakfast and friendly staff . Shame the outside seating is currently affected by nearby construction work.

Misael Acosta, manager of the Santa Monica location, should not be in the customer service industry, and he DEFINITELY shouldn't be serving/handling food.
