Uncle Bill's Pancake House

Horrible service, got sat down and they helped out the other three tables that down after us. Told us she’ll be back to take our order and took an additional 10 minutes. I get that we look young but that’s not an excuse to give us bad service.

Gloria did a great job on a really busy morning. Always a great place to eat

The cooks and the servers were good . The men that run those place were terrible . Kept looking over to see when you leave when the place was near empty . Was disrespectful and they lost a customer and his social circle - just after I posted about the nice ambience . Looking for other places to have a nice meal where you get the service and vibes that you paid for

We got stuck with a 12 hour layover at LAX and stopped here during that time and it almost made the 12 hour layover worth it. Food was incredible as was the service, best omelette I’ve ever had!

Solid diner food recommended by a friend. I had the Potatoes del riego w/ over-medium eggs 🍳 and a side of pancakes. Five stars for service — everyone was on their A game! Extremely impressed by the staff, who were also very accommodating. Their potato specialty was good. Three stars for mediocre pancakes and below mid pancake syrup (tasted so cheap and bad).

Went to Uncle Bill's today for the 2nd time and had an odd experience. While the staff was attentive and efficient, they were also super aggresive trying to flip our table as soon as possible. 25 mins in and the food arrived together with the bill, which is not welcoming at all. They continued to come around while we were still eating asking us if we wanted anything else (came around about 6 time within 20 from when they dropped the food). Before we hit 1 hour they just pulled my wifes' plate from within the arms, with still food on it and while she was still chewing.
I understand they place is busy and wants to flip tables, but this is unacceptable. There is no need to be rude and so aggresive to make their customers feel unwelcomed. Will not be coming back to this place again.

Go-to weekend brunch. Very family friendly a few blocks from the boardwalk/beach. Huge menu with options for everyone, well-priced, excellent service, outdoor and indoor seating and of course, delicious food. Only downside is wait times get long, especially for big groups.

So overall place is okay and if you live nearby or are walking distance or maybe going to/coming from beach, I would add a star. There is quite a bit of outdoor seating if you have a dog. The place is somewhat small and is fairly clean, our food was served hot and the amount of food we received seemed right. We were happy we got water with our coffee. My pancakes were actually good, I would give those 4 stars because it was full of chocolate chips and they were fluffy and I got butter on the side. My husband got his normal omelette, but the food was to greasy and he didn't even finish his plate or even ask for hot sauce. I noticed that hash browns were on side, I asked if I could get them with onions and cheese, but I guess you can only get them plain or the ones listed in menu without adjustments. That was a little disappointing. We also came near opening time on Saturday morning, we were a tad bit surprised how many families with young children were already there. Usually we don't mind, but place is not the biggest, so it was a little more noiser than we expected.

Nov 2024- Ya’ll the cinnamon Apple pancakes were so fluffy and delicious! My sister and I will definitely be back to try more breakfast items. We sat outside and enjoyed the rain and people ambiance. Pet friendly (outdoors). Get by there soon and enjoy some good eats!

Uncle Bill’s was nice for a casual breakfast. The food was tasty, the service was decent, and the atmosphere was cozy. Nothing extraordinary, but a solid spot if you’re in the area and craving breakfast.

We made a return to Bill's when we visited in August of this year, and it was just as enjoyable as when we went years ago when we lived in LA. The food (especially the pancakes) was just as delicious as i remembered, and the staff was still wonderfully friendly. I will continue to make a stop there when I visit LA. Much appreciation to those who continue to make it special after so may years.

Despite the queue in front of the shop, we got a table quickly. Service is almost intrusive and takes the drinks before you are seated. You only have a moment to look at the map. The food is delicious, but the portion is far too small for the price. Without asking if you would like to order anything else, the bill is slammed onto the table without comment. Very disappointing.
