I love their veggie breakfast burrito and their chicken breakfast burrito. Their home made salsas are tasty... And I can't wait to try their other items... They have a large selection. Best P read more

The breakfast sandwich was DELICIOUS. Potatoes and pancakes were decent. This is the first breakfast place I've been to that served beef bacon and I love that. Street parking was easy when we went. It's a nice big space, however lack of sound-absorbing wall panels made everyone's conversations extremely loud. We could barely hear each other lol. I still recommend Donny's though! read more

Donny's Breakfast Spot - Breakfast Sandwich - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Sherman Oaks, California

I believe that dining out is about the experience, not only just the physical ones that we enjoy in life. I've gotta share with you, I've just experienced one of the most emotional breakfast that I've had in Los Angeles in about 16 years, and I had no idea it would happen here at Donny's breakfast spot! If you're looking for an experience, that will literally interrupt your normal, and bring joy to your inner spirit, come here to Donny's and watch yourself become surprised! Now I remember when I was a child and how good some of the food used to taste, but it's been so long since I've had such great flavor in things like fried chicken. This is literally, the very best fried chicken that I've ever had in my human life! I realized it was about to begin on the first bite of the crunchy skin of the chicken breast that I got on the sugaman special And when they ask you this question here is your answer, when they ask you if you want a crispy waffle or a regular waffle remember your answer is always crispy. And I hope you'll share Donny's with your friends and your families, the special spots in life are what make life super memorable read more

Scrumptious breakfast and delicious wings. Donny and his crew are super kind and he even went in on his day off to make sure a large order of wings for my kid's volleyball team was just perfect. read more

Been wanting to try Donnie's for awhile and finally decided to make the trip. As soon as we walked in we were greeted and seated. The inside is very aesthetically pleasing with a blueish tone and some murals. I forgot the name of the special I ordered but it had chicken wings and beef bacon with a side of grits and scrambled eggs. Now as someone raised in the south one of my biggest complaints is there are no spots in the valley where I can get a simple, traditional southern breakfast. Well, Donny's definitely fills that void for me and I'm excited to know I don't have to go to South L.A. or Long Beach just to get a breakfast that includes grits. I'll be back for sure. read more

Donny's is so good! You have to have to have to try the Chicken and Waffles up in this Mitch! It was so freaking good! The chicken is like a wing stop collab with Roscoe's. Loved it! read more

Food was good. Fried Chicken went crazy! The crunch, the seasoning was just what you wanted in breakfast that advertises "Chicken & Waffles. While I do recommend them giving a larger portion of grits and potatoes. I highly recommend giving them a try. It didn't disappoint. The ambience was nice. I would also suggest adding some women waitresses. Although the men did a great job. Women do bring a different eye to detail and organization to establishments. No shade on the fellas, just my opinion. Can't wait for Donnys Lounge to open next door. The valley needs this read more

The outside of the building got my attention because l could see inside too which was bright and cheerful supported by a beautiful mural. Wish l would have written down the name of the artist. The restaurant had this super clean feeling loved that. Our servers Shaem (should have asked him to spell it) and Sharquita were both kind and helpful with suggestions. They did point out no substitutions. I had enough to take some home. The potatoes were so delicious and crispy like the waffles which had a great flavor l can't quite figure out. Next time l go l will ask. The chicken cooked just right as well as my egg. My only complaint it took a little longer than l expected. Would l go again? ABSOLUTELY! read more

Overall, a decent experience. I came at first opening on a Saturday morning. Because it was so early the restaurant was empty. The restaurant was nice and clean. The service staff were friendly and very attentive. The place has a very homey feel, which I think is a plus. Pancake- 6/10 -very mushy Waffle- 8/10 (recommend over the pancake) Chicken - best thing I tasted all morning. Perfectly fried. Could use a bit more seasoning syrup and hot sauce take care of that problem. Mimosa- seemed premade (but I could be wrong). Absolute con- everything on the menu is as is. No substitution. read more

Wife and I were driving up to Camarillo from LA and wanted a quick breakfast. All I read was breakfast spot and didnt even look at the menu. When we arrive we were greeted by a friend team. Sat us down quickly and took our order. If you know me, I love wings. So this was all chance that we came here. And you know if I am getting chicken, I am getting waffles. The chicken and waffle was way better than Roscoes. Price was very affordable as well. Great food and service. We will be back read more

Found this breakfast spot on TikTok. We were greeted and sat quickly. The man that greeted us also told us where to park (they have a parking lot behind the building). I ordered the waffle with a side of bacon and we also had the Paris Special. Everything was great! I would most definitely recommend if you're in the area to go try. read more

Me and my friends stumbled across this place on our walk. We were greeted by Donny and we had a warm welcoming. We picked out our seat and we had to look at the menu and didn't know what to get! My friend decided to get tacos with beef bacon (there's no pork options), which was really really good. I got a pancake with six flats and a side of grits. I don't have a picture of the grits. They were yummy, nice consistency. They accidentally gave me a waffle, which was honestly better than the pancake that originally came with my meal. The customer service was nice. I will definitely go back and try it again. read more

Everything is excellent: service, food, ambiance! We ordered Egg Benedict, Avocado Toast, and Pancakes. We will be back for drumette!!!

Saw this place on the way home the other day and decided to try it out on Sunday for brunch. pros: EXCEPTIONALLY friendly and attentive staff. Hard to find good customer service these days. Place was kept very clean and tables were bussed immediately. The chicken wings were phenomenal. Dry with great seasoning and if you wanted hot sauce, it was everywhere. Waffle and pancakes were very tasty, almost tasted a hint of cinnamon perhaps. The waffle is thin for the record The potatoes were also seasoned very well and crispy which is the way I like it. Con: I would love to see fresh squeezed OJ on the menu. The food and the sparkling deserves it! We will definitely be back and CANNOT wait to try the fish and BBQ when the evening restaurant opens soon! Thank you for an enjoyable experience!! read more

Chicken is so juicy and amazingly fried- great crispy bite. I like my waffle crispy, and their French toast is delicious! Highly recommend the "Sugaman" breakfast. If there's a wait for food, it's WORTH IT. Butter and syrup comes out warm, melted and ready to go. Very friendly and welcoming service. Great vibes, clean setup. Absolutely gonna be coming back regularly! read more

Great food and great customer service! Tried this place for the first time today and would definitely recommend. The chicken & waffles and country potatoes were amazing, everything was seasoned and cooked to perfection and that homemade lemonade...10/10! read more

Under the radar breakfast spot in Sherman Oaks. Friendly staff, good attentive service and the food was made fresh.

Amazing Experience The place was very clean and well maintained beautiful colors Got to watch the game on a Sunday Morning Fried Chicken excellent fresh flavorful and the Waffle OMG so good The customer service was top tier love Donny's Breakfast Spot It doesn't disappoint read more

1 Top Tier Chicken and Waffle spot. 2 great service. 3 Well decorated. The chicken is better than Roscoe's. Pro tip ask for the house hot sauce it's great. I had the Benedict with Beef Bacon, it was excellent. The staff is friendly and attentive in a genuine way, not only is the service well above average they actually make you feel welcome. The place is super clean, including the bathroom and the walls are wrap around murals that really set a mood. Although to be honest the art is way classier than you'd expect at a Waffle House. read more

Donny's is the best!!! Archetta our server was great!! She welcomed us in and sat us quickly. I had the Colossal Breakfast Burrito and my dad had the Chicken and Waffles. So amazing!!! Wish I lived closer to come back asap!! Murals on the wall were spectacular and the music was top notch!! read more

Clean and friendly waitress she was very attentive being that she was the only server however I can also appreciate the Owner was helping her out . This was our first time here and the food so good and flavorful! It's also hard nowadays to find good coffee (I will say I would have rather had a actual coffee cup instead of the to go cup for the coffee) that too was very good and the RR was clean . Love this place is black owned will definitely return . read more

We checked out, this place around 8 AM on Saturday morning! The look of the diner is so appeasing to the eye! I love the colors, it reminds me of a contemporary look of the old school 50s diner with the tall top chairs close to the kitchen. Their food is sooooo delish! Waffles are flat, very wide with great flavor! The 4 breakfast tacos w/ house sauce (interesting taste & compliments tacos) but were filling . Next time I will ask for pico de galio sauce when ordering; its so fresh! They do have a few things on the 2 standing digital menus (which you must use to place your order), to choose as an option which should be taken off until its an available option (mimosas & the wing confusion noted below). During my first visit, I chose the lemon pepper wings & fries option and later found out after my family received their food, 10+ minutes, that for some reason the breakfast kitchen doesn't receive the same printout if the order is placed for specialty Wings; it usually goes to the restaurant right next-door to it, Donny's Wings which does not open until 12 PM. I had to interrupt our birthday breakfast celebration to deal with this situation. The server is such a sweet woman with GREAT service! (Hope she gets paid very well) She frequently checked in to ensure we were comfortable & satisfied. Overall a 4.7 read more

Fish & grits Pancakes Day one special & coffee All Delicious! Great service - greeted on arrival and waters are at the table shortly after you are seated. You order and pay at the table. It's similar to other restaurants in the area, but you get to sit first which I prefer. There's a big screen tv playing sports generally. Clean and chill vibe. We've been here twice so far :) Will be back! read more

Found this place on instagram and took my love for his birthday! From the moment we walked in, it was a great vibe. The two ladies that we encountered gave great customer service! We were offered inside or outside seating. Initially we sat outside but the heat of the day had us retreat to the inside with the air. They offered up the most popular items on the menu and their preferences as well! Donny himself served the food quickly! All three of them checked up on us while we ate. I'll definitely go back and support! read more

Donny's Breakfast Spot - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Sherman Oaks, California

Confused by the 4 and 5 star reviews. Found this place on IG because some random influencer said that it was fire. Sadly I was mislead and disappointed when I finally got around to trying it for myself. The tables inside are very small and uncomfortable and food was not good at all salty and under seasoned and the waffles were dry and just meh. The only good thing about this place was the staff; very welcoming and attentive. read more

The food was so delicious and the service was so friendly! Highly recommend to anyone in the area!

I visited this restaurant while in Los Angeles for my daughter's birthday. I ordered grits, eggs, and fish, and my daughter had pancakes and bacon. I want to start by saying the grits and eggs were very good, and my daughter enjoyed her meal as well. The fish, however, was not to my personal taste. When the waitress checked on us, I asked if I could substitute the fish for bacon. She said they don't allow substitutions, which I understood, so I simply asked if I could order bacon instead. She continued asking what I didn't like about the fish. After being asked a few times, I explained that TO ME the fish tasted a little artificial. I want to be clear that this was MY PERSONAL OPINION ABOUT THE TASTE, not an accusation about the ingredients. Shortly after, the owner came to the table and made a somewhat shady remark, saying that the fish was not artificial and adding that "IT'S NOT TILAPIA." I calmly explained that I NEVER SAID IT WAS ARTIFICIAL -- I SAID THAT'S HOW IT TASTED TO ME. Taste is subjective, and everyone experiences food differently. Later the waitress returned and told me the owner was offended by my comment. I apologized if my opinion offended him, but in a restaurant setting customers should be able to share honest feedback about what they like or don't like. Not every dish will suit every person's taste. What disappointed me most was not the fish itself, but how the situation was handled. I actually enjoyed other parts of the meal, but being confronted by the owner and told he was offended made the experience uncomfortable. I support Black-owned businesses and genuinely wanted to enjoy this visit, but customers should be able to share their personal opinions about food without feeling confronted for it. read more
