“Old time diner with great food ? and tasty adult beverages. Only negative I have is that this restaurant is so popular there is sometimes a wait to get in. But with that said it is worth the wait. Note I have only visited the establishment for breakfast.Parking: Open parking lot on the south side of the establishment.Kid-friendliness: Family friendly restaurant.“
“I will definitely come back, the vibe was on point, my amazing waitress "Pope" was the best. Our food came out piping hot with flavor! The service was quick and above standards. Thanks for the amazing experience... I look forward to supporting Gritz and Waffles again soon. Continued Blessings!“
“We had a delicious breakfast at the counter with good coffee and great service. It was a Thursday later morning- I imagine the tiny counter fills up quickly sometimes, but there is outdoor seating too. The owner chatted with us and made sure we were happy with our food. Very fun experience eating at this long-established little diner.“
“The food was tasty! Came out not even 10 Min after we ordered.( There were 3 orders before us)Fair priced for the food but drinks do seem overpriced.You can eat at the tables outside and listen to LA trafficParking: The paid parking behind the building is 3$ every 15min (limit 18$ in price) egg tuck doesn't validate but Starbucks does when you purchase (for only 30min)“
“Cute cafe, feels like your inside someone's home, and the food is delicious. Nice crispy hashbrows and the omelet was 10/10. Highly recommend the grilled blueberry muffin....its the perfect blend of crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.“
“CUTEEEE, I've heard of U Dessert Story in SF and was excited to hear they were opening in Santa Monica along a brunch spot! The location is beautiful and interior is so fun for brunch. The wait has been popping off so I'd recommend joining the waitlist early! I had the breakfast plate with their millionaire bacon and the scone was my absolute favorite- literally the best scone I've had lol!!!“
“I can't say enough good things about this place—it's absolutely amazing! The food is excellent, the service is fantastic, and the setting is stunning. The spacious interior boasts beautiful decor, and the menu offers a wide variety of options with generous portions. I especially loved the freshly squeezed orange juice with the mimosas. The staff went above and beyond, warmly welcoming my sister, myself, and her small service dog. I highly recommend this place and can't wait to visit again!“
“Oh the burritos, magical! My daughter’s favorite burrito in LA and I can taste why. Fresh ingredients without the trend to add potatoes as filler. Simple and perfect, highly recommended for take-out / delivery as the seating (and parking) is an adventure.“
“First off, the prices are pretty reasonable for the area. In the Arts District where you can expect your coffee to be $7, $9ish for a full cocktail is not bad! I've enjoyed everything here, the fried chicken in particular was well-seasoned. The only thing I thought was meh was the fried broccolini, the batter was a little too heavy for me so I didn't finish it.You seat yourself and can either order using the QR code at your table or try to flag someone down, but mobile order seems faster. There is also self-serve water.My only suggestion is that sometimes it can get quite sunny so would be nice to have some kind of shades when the sun is getting low and get in your eyes.Update: sounds like the shade issue has been resolved since I've last gone! Thanks Théron!“
“We came from Toronto and wanted something kid friendly my wife came accross this restaurant on google and we came here for breakfast. What a place food quality was on point and service was amazing.Thank you so much for a great morning breakfast.“
“We had a fantastic brunch experience! The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, the service was top-notch, and the food was absolutely delicious. I had chilaquiles. The portions were generous, absolutely delicious and the prices were a little high but it was worth it . We'll definitely be back for another tasty brunch!"“
“I grew up in Texas and have spent a lot of time in Mexico. Chilaquiles are my favorite food and I have eaten 100s of different versions. This is hands down the best. I'm in a state of pure joy. The red sauce was absolutely perfect. Thank you so much! The chefs here are very talented.“
