to my scrambled egg people--these are not the eggs you want. overcooked on multiple occasions benedicts are generally good, but the sopes one was like cutting through a shoe sole BLT is delish read more

Had the breakfast burrito and the eggs were undercooked, the bacon was low quality and undercooked, and the hot sauce seemed like tomato based paste. There was no side to it. It's a diner and the staff was nice but not a fit for me. Others like it so give it a shot but for a breakfast burrito snob I would get it again. read more

Great little Restaurant with a counter top and stools, and table seating. Menu is limited to breakfast and lunch, with a good spread of choices. Coffee is from a local roaster and is very good. Staff is friendly and takes care of you well. My Han and Cheese omelet was huge with a large portion of ham. I will visit again and would recommend this little gem to anyone looking for a great meal. read more

Love their ever present French Onion soup - even as a brunch appetizer :) Their menu and specials are always delicious!

Damn this place is good! Better than expected, and frankly, the best breakfast I've had in South Bend. Their hollandaise = liquid culinary gold. That and the biscuits under the Country Style Benny are made-from-scratch and will certainly rock-your-world. I've also tried the breakfast wrap, which was a delicious, above average choice for a quick breakfast on the drive to work. HOT TIPS: 1. Parking is extremely limited on the street, which seems like the only option, but I just found out from one of their waitresses that there is a little parking lot in the back with old signed marked 'no parking' that you can actually park at no problem, without worry of a ticket/tow. They have an understanding with the building owner I believe. 2. For diner, L Street is renting out their space to a KILLER pop up restaurant called Bantam. They're cooking up some next level stuff too. I highly recommend both of these restaurants. read more

I came here with five of my friends on a weekend. There was a short wait, but very much worth it. The restaurant is has an intimate and local feel to it with friendly and attentive staff. I was first impressed with the prices - without even trying the food. But the menu did not disappoint. At a table of six different dishes ordered, every single one was great. The only menu item that may require a bit more culinary crafting is the avocado toast. I had the breakfast tacos and they were very tasty. This restaurant does not necessarily stand out to the "instagram aesthetic" seeking consumer when looking at it online, but it is very much worth the visit because it delivers on every level. I will definitely return the next time I am in town. read more

This was my first time at L Street Kitchen. I was impressed with everything, We were greeted by friendly people when we walked in and we were seated and served immediately. Everything tasted farm fresh, the coffee was good, especially for a 'diner', and prices were very reasonable. The restaurant had a nice vibe to it!! I will definitely make this my go to breakfast spot whenever I am in town! read more

We were just in town for a short weekend stay and were looking for a local place for breakfast. We came across The L Street Kitchen on Yelp and decided to give it a try and really found a gem. The food is delicious, cooked to order, plentiful and lots of options with daily specials. Top that off with a friendly staff and great service and I can't imagine there's a way to be disappointed. I know the next time we're in the area we'll be back. read more

Great food for breakfast. It was our first day in South Bend. My daughter and I had the breakfast tacos, while the rest of the party had pancakes, burrito, and an egg with cheese sandwich. The coffee was excellent. read more

Website, Yelp and the sign on the door says open till two. We drove out of our way to have lunch here and we got there around 1:35 and all the chairs were up in the tables and someone was mopping. I opened the door and was just ignored. read more

Food is nothing too special, but tasty diner- type food in downtown South Bend. We ate here after going to the excellent Brain Lair books.

We have been to L street 4 times now. I can honestly say we jave recieved good service and predictably great food every time. This morning for breakfast I tried a vegan bowl with avocado, zuccini, mushrooms, red bell pepper, potatoes, spinach and quinoa. I am not vegan, but I am trying to eat a little healthier- and my breakfast at L street this morning was really wonderful. Thank you L Street for raising the bar in South Bend. read more

Our waitress was very friendly and attentive. 5/5 for customer service. My group all ordered the Ruben sandwich. The sandwiches were phenomenal. 5/5 Restaurant was VERY clean and welcoming. Its not much from the outside but the inside provided a great atmosphere. The next time I am in town I will definitely check this place out again. The prices were very reasonable as well. read more

Delicious breakfast at a very good price. My mother had taken me once before, and I had the chicken and waffles. The chicken is light and crispy, with a nice hot syrup to top the whole thing off. My mother and brother went out of town recently, so I had the opportunity to chill with my dad. He's involved in the yelp community, and so we like to try and review new spots together. I took him here and he loved it! I got sopas, which were fresh and bursting with avocado, queso fresca and cilantro. My father got the country breakfast, which is a poached egg nestled atop a juicy stack of pulled pork. We loved it all! The staff is friendly, the prices are reasonable, and the food is absolutely wonderful. Will be coming back again!! read more

Oh my what a happy find. Wishing there were more than 5-stars to award this wonderful establishment. Location is right downtown, easy to get to. Place is cool, hip and a bit hippy. Staff were wonderfully attentive and efficient. Food was-well, really amazing. Breakfast burrito was delicious and not at all greasy. Chick and biscuits were the best ever found north of Kansas City. Yumm wished I lived nearby read more

I stopped in LSK after reading all of the great reviews. Even after all of the praise, I wasn't prepared for how good it was. I had the shrimp Po boy and my fiancé ordered the crab cakes Benedict. Neither options are your typical Midwest dish, so to see them on the menu was a surprise. But the actual food itself... MIND BLOWN! That po boy is the best I've had. Not the best I've had in the Midwest, the best I've had , period. It was a twist on an old fave that packed a lot of punch. The giadinera really set it apart. The crab cakes were moist and flavorful. But they are a special so if you see them, order immediately. The awesome thing about L Street is that owner, Mike, wants you to feel like family. He told me that's the reason for the open kitchen concept. It is definitely working. I've been twice and already met his wife Meg. They are so friendly. Pro tip: if you show your Yelp review, you get a free drink! Mike makes these amazing pies. Check them on Instagram to see what the specials and pie of the day are! read more

First time diner here this morning and unfortunately I was disappointed in my breakfast. I ordered the breakfast tacos which the menu describes comes with "Scrambled eggs, choice of breakfast meat or potatoes, salsa verde, queso fresco, avocado aioli." My tacos had eggs and meat, that's it. When I questioned the waitress, she brought only red Salsa which basically has no flavor. She didn't seem to know the menu or care to. Otherwise she was nice and friendly and the potatoes were delicious, would probably come back for those so that's why it still got three stars. read more

South Bend GEM. This is quality food, ingredients and presentation, and you cannot beat the prices! I'm so impressed and excited to keep coming back. The service was also great- everyone was so sweet. The brioche bun on my bacon egg and avocado sandwich is what I'll crave until I'm able to go back. read more

The restaurant is located right across from county-city building; it's just a small place but it is definitely worth visiting. I had chorizo and egg breakfast tacos (3) and potatoes. I had the option of sausage, bacon, or chorizo. It was absolutely delicious and only $10. Everything seemed to be pretty good prices and the employees were wonderful. I drink lots of water and they bring an ice cold carafe of water, which was a bonus for me. The parking is limited due to being downtown, yet you need to eat here. I will positively return to try something else. read more

It was our first time here and it definitely won't be our last. The service was excellent. The ambiance was down home comfortable. And the food was DELICIOUS! My husband enjoyed the smoked brisket hash breakfast and I enjoyed the burrito with avocado. Be sure to bring your appetite because portions are ample! The Cloud Walking coffee, which is a local brew rounded out our awesome meal. Kudos to the chefs and staff!! "We'll be back." read more

Just tried LSK for the first time today and I had the Breakfast Sopes. They were very tasty! Not much to say about the decor - as of now it's pretty generic. Perhaps they will come into their own motif over time. Location is perfect for the large number of folks that work in and around the County-City Building and the Courthouse complex. Wait staff was friendly and easy to speak with. They didn't display any resentment that I came in 5 minutes before closing (2pm for those wondering). Breakfast sopes (2 per order) were very good and I would order again were it not for the fact that there several other options to pick from next time! read more

I have been going to this place since day 1. The first 6 months were fantastic!! I wish I could say the last 6 months were that good. There is zero consistency in the food. I loved the burgers there, they were perfectly sized, tasted so good. Now, they are like baby burgers with no flavor. You never see the same cooks in the kitchen which means lots of kitchen turnover. The staff....overwhelmed, impossible to get refills on drinks. I, on more than a few occassions witnessed the waitress's trying to multitask by putting in an order and gossiping/bitching about customers. They are not even smart enough to turn their backs to talk about people....I can read lips. The worst culprit is the owners wife who seems to be trying to pretend she can waitress. The wait staff is enough to not frequent that's place any longer. read more

Food was delicious. Piping hot. Stuffed full omelet. My husband had the meat lovers hash...delicious. Coffee good and hot. Staff was kind and kept the hot coffee coming. Highly recommend. read more

Not much to look at from the outside, but it serves up the Best breakfast in South Bend! The eggs were delicious, the breakfast potatoes were perfect, and the raisin toast was like dessert. I highly recommend this place on or after ND game day. read more

This is my favorite breakfast in town. The couple who own and run it are incredibly nice. The ingredients they use are top notch even though their price-points are more than reasonable. Because it's becoming more and more known, you may have to wait a bit on the weekends (especially ND home game weekends). I can't get away from the avocado eggs benny and I swear off bacon every time I leave because theirs is so DANGEROUSLY DELECTABLE. What I'm saying is I'm willingly risking some years at the end of my life because of the euphoria I experience now consuming their bacon. Remember, as KVJ so succinctly puts it: "Peculiar travel suggestions are dancing lessons from God". read more

Delicious food! Fluffiest Gluten Free Pancakes we've ever had. Service was timely and friendly. We will definitely be returning!

On a recent weekend , my husband and I decided to try out this place before a show at the Civic. I was absolutely drawn by the delicious sounding menu, but the shrimp po'Boy really grabbed me. It was every bit as good as I'd hoped! Their breakfast offerings are varied and somewhat unique. We will be trying them on our next visit The surroundings gave me the feel of small restaurants we've been to in Chicago. Service was terrific. Atmosphere of a vibrant place. Check it out. We'll be going back! You won't be disappointed. read more

Fast and friendly service, the food is fresh and delicious and the family owned vibe makes you feel right at home! Try the Sopes for breakfast and the Cuban for lunch! The fries are to die for! You can pick your own table or sit and the counter and chat with Mike, the owner while he whips up your food! read more

L Street Kitchen in three words: just a diner. The food took about an hour and a half and there were only a few other tables seated, and when it finally came out, it was seriously lacking in seasoning and flavor. The hollandaise was more watery and spicy than I'd like. Our waitress was very curt, didn't smile once, and didn't bus the small table of 4 at all until we left which doesn't leave a lot of room when you're trying to enjoy your coffee and there's a mountain of empty creamers piling up on the table. There's not much in the way of breakfast in this area, so you can imagine my disappointment when L Street didn't live up to its better reviews online for me. Maybe I'll give it another shot someday, but I doubt it. I could make a better, cheaper version of just about anything on the menu at home. read more

We love L Street Kitchen for breakfast! I normally get their Avocado Egg Benedict (GF option) and my husband gets their Chilaquiles. A great casual breakfast spot in Downtown South Bend with really good food. You can just park along the street, sit down, order, and eat! We drive all the way from Granger just for that breakfast!! read more

L Street has become our favorite Saturday morning spot. And we're so glad you're offering carry out during this time. (Sorry my dog growled at you this morning, by the way. I think she was scared of your face mask, lol! I will leave her at home next time). Thank you for the great food, the cozy atmosphere, and exceptional service. We hope to be back dining with you all in-person again soon! - Hillary D. read more

BAD!! Wow, this place was bad for breakfast today. The "standard" breakfast (that's what THEY call it) was WAY BELOW STANDARD. The bacon was VERY tasty, but I ordered "crisp'" and parts were almost raw. The eggs were greasy (how do you even MAKE greasy eggs??!!); the potatoes were dripping in grease, and were severely overcooked, burned, and inedible. (Dial 911 !!!) The "rye" toast was NOT Rye, not toasted, and ALSO greasy. (How does un-buttered toast even GET greasy??!!) The poor server had no measurable skill, and was oblivious to my plight. Good luck, but I won't be back. read more

We were in South Bend visiting Notre Dame and stumbled upon this awesome new breakfast spot. Everything we ordered tasted excellent and super fresh. The pancakes were fluffy, the eggs and potatoes were so good, and the biscuits and gravy tasted like the kind my grandmother used to make. I'm not sure what they put in the bacon but it was the best I've had in ages. The service was amazing too with our server refilling drinks without us having to ask and checking in with us several times. We'll be back for sure! read more

Great lunch! I was in South Bend for work and was lucky to find this convenient and friendly lunch spot. Great tuna salad sandwich (celery in it) on toast with some of the best fries I've had in a while, and trust me, I eat a lot of fries, so that's saying something. Worth checking out if you are in town. read more

Love finding gems in my own city I didn't know about. Enjoyed a great breakfast of eggs, fruit and coffee. It was fast, priced perfectly and delicious. Coffee was hot and good and which, let's be honest, is the most important part of any breakfast. Definitely recommend this place! read more
