The server suggested the most popular dishes, though I went for my staple chilaquiles breakfast that I try everywhere. I really enjoyed them. The complimentary conchita was a plus. Paired well with the horchata coffee. Would return for sure.

This morning, my wife and I visited this restaurant for the first time. I'm glad we did. We had a very good breakfast to start off the day. I ordered the basic combo which comes with eggs, hashbrowns, your choice of 2 pieces of bacon/sausage, and buttermilk pancakes. I got scrambled eggs, one sausage, and one piece of bacon with the hashbrowns and buttermilk pancakes. My wife ordered the same combo except with two pieces of bacon, eggs cooked over easy, and crepes. Before our orders came out, we got a plate with a couple of mini conchas on it. The conchas were a tasty and sweet surprise. The orders came out pretty fast. The scrambled eggs were warm and fluffy. The hashbrowns were nice and crispy. The entire meal was satisfying. My wife did notice that her crepes were a little undercooked, but overall, she enjoyed her meal as well. I think the service here was solid, not phenomenal. Even though, we were the only customers dining in the restaurant, we weren't really checked upon until we were ready for the check. That's not to say that the staff were just standing around doing nothing. There were a handful of people coming in for takeout and delivery orders. They helped with that. Additionally, a couple of the restaurant employees were diligently cleaning the ceiling of the restaurant. They keep this place very tidy and clean, which I can appreciate. I'm not sure why this place isn't more popular. Their dishes are reasonably priced and of high quality. I would recommend this place. I think it's better than a lot of the larger and well known chain restaurants who serve breakfast.

I was in town with my mom for a concert. We wanted to go to Norms for breakfast the day after the show but their power was out. We stumbled upon this place and we are so happy we did! We came in with a little rush of others so we had to wait maybe 10-15 minutes before we were sat. It looked like there were only 2 waitress working and no bussers. They were both very nice considering how busy it got. My mom and I split some scrambled eggs and hash browns and bacon. I also ordered the French toast and my mom had some sort of crepes. Coffee was good too! I would definitely recommend checking this place out! We also loved the panecitos we got while waiting for our food :)

Such a delicious diner! Definitely a hidden gem in the rough. It was a Monday morning and I had a vet appointment in the area. It was 8:30am and hadn't eaten yet needed to wait so why not go to a local diner. Loaded was at the top of my Yelp app and it filled me perfectly. Easy, strip mall parking and as a weekday, it was a breeze getting a booth by myself. The one waitress serving the customers was very sweet and felt comfortable right away. The diner itself is newish, clean and modern. Menu-wise, there's a Latino flair which makes it all delish! I like there's the Crepe Combo which is really good! The plain crepes have a soft sweetness and I opted for sausage and poached eggs. It came with a side of concha which seemed to have a dash of cinnamon and I wolfed it down! To drink, I had a horchata latte and that's really sweet! A great meal - I'd definitely go back if I'm In the area. Thanks!

Tlw L.

Delicious and fresh. Lesley was very nice and helpful. Hot concha when ur first seated is a nice touch.

Patty S.

I had high expectations before getting here. The Warm panecitos and the Orchata latte were the best. I was personally disappointed on the food. CANNOT say it was bad, but it was definitely none-eventful. The chilaquiles had yellow cheese and that was the nail in the coffin for me. I was looking for authentic yummy Mexican food. The enchiladas had yellow cheese! As well.... The service was great. She was very informative and amicable. The ambiance was good (not too loud) and it had a relaxed family atmosphere. I will more than likely not be back.

Turtle. Pretty tasty. Love the crunchy part. Tortuga está rica. Le digo torta ya que co)h@ es malo para nosotros.

April my server was great. Knows her products well and was very kind and attentive. Thank you April. Food was good but the nine spice green sauce was still a bit spicy.

Mayra G.

We had great service by April! She was so patient and able to explain all the dishes we had questions on. She also suggested alternative ways on how we could order the dish. The food was delicious! My mom ordered the chilaquiles with steak and eggs plate. We ordered a side of French toast and I ordered a spinach and mushroom omelette with hollandaise sauce and country potatoes.

Jasmine R.

The atmosphere was great. They moved to a bigger location, which is awesome. The Service was OK. Waitress was attentive, but she had to be intentionally because first the coffee mug was served with lipstick rings on there. Then the second coffee mug came, the half-and-half was poured inside the coffee, but the half-and-half was spoiled. So we 86 the coffee. Besides that the food was good I would come back. FYI the restrooms need a face lift.

Ambar C.

Complimentary conchas! Yes please! Located in a shopping center with plenty of parking this spot gets packed on the weekends but came in here on a weekday and still was pretty busy! I can see why! Service and food were great! I got the Machaca breakfast burrito, really tasty- I think if they had a cold red salsa it would make it top tier! My daughter got the kids pancake breakfast. Delicious and the comfort of your ideal cafe. Recommend!

The food was so scrumptious. I typically don't like chilaquiles but Dayuum that chilaquiles Torta was bomb diggity. It was like a delicacy that I've never had. So many flavors blasting with every bite. I will for sure come back for a round two of that Torta chilaquiles. It was a bit spicy but I didn't care I loved it. The ambience was great so much space and not a lot of people maybe because my party and I were there early in the morning. The service was okay they took a while to give us our food to be an empty day but you know what, it was worth the wait. Overall loved it!!! Coming back for more. read more

I knew I'd love this meal at first smell. The pancakes were light fluffy served with creamy whipped butter, yum. The juicy yet crunchy country fried chicken steak was perfectly seasoned. The eggs were excellent as were the hash browns which were also perfectly seasoned. I'd give a 4.5 for service because they forgot my fresh fruit but a 5 for delivery because I received the order still hot and quickly.

We came for lunch. As soon as we entered there was a waitress named Alejandra in the front. It took her over 5 minutes for her to greet us and tell us we can be seated soon. After we were seated she took our order for drinks then came back to take our order for the food. She was really short in the way she was speaking to us. At some point while we were eating, we asked for more napkins because our table only had one. It seems like she was stingy with it and it costs a lot for napkin because she only brought us two more. It even took for us to ask her twice so she can bring it to us. Her service was not good at all and we were really annoyed. But overall, the food was decent. read more

Good little cafe tucked away in a shopping Center. The service was excellent, the food was delicious, and vibe was just right. I ordered the Super Stacker but subbed out the chicken for bacon and sausage. They were out of the Hollandaise sauce, but no biggie I just added some salsa and it was pretty good. The cheese was fresh, the eggs were fluffy, my hash browns were perfect. Will definitely be back to work my way through the menu. read more

Don't believe social media. This place had bad service and the food wasn't even worth it. My friend ordered smothered biscuits and didn't mind paying extra for it but what he got was just sad even with the "extra" gravy. My chilaques were cold payed extra for eggs that were already priced on the menu. The wait was not worth it but at least you have an ice cream shop next door and a bakery. I think that was the only thing worthy of this place... the conchita they serve instead of chips and salsa. read more

Well, it's been quite a while since we dined here and, after tonight, we are wondering why we…read moredidn't come back sooner. The last time we were here, it was during a busy lunch and both the service and the food were below par. But tonight, it wasn't as busy and our server, Geovani, was excellent. First, we were quickly greeted and asked to select our table (since they were not that busy). Since there was only two of us, we picked a table for two. But, after we decided that we would split an appetizer and an entree, the table for two became way to small way too quickly. Geovani jumped right on this, suggesting we move to a larger table. He helped us move everything over and, voila, we were able to stretch out and relax and enjoy our meal. We started with the pear and blue cheese salad and, wow, we could have just ordered this, split it, and we would have been full. Very flavorful, generous portion that is definitely big enough to share. We also ordered the Sausage & Leek Fettuccine and I was definitely not thinking. Totally forgetting that leeks are part of the onion family (and I have a sensativity to onions). Once the dish arrive, I immediately noticed the similarity and was slowly trying to pick them away from my portion. Once again, Geovani came to our rescue. He asked how everything was and I told him I made a mistake (noted above). He quickly volunteered to have the kitchen make it again without the leeks. I asked, "Are you sure?", and he immediately said yes and removed the dish. Very shortly after, he returned with the "onion sterile" dish and it was wonderful. Both of us were so full you could have rolled us out the door. Good thing the parking garage is so close so we could just hop in our car and go home.

Absolutely the worst…read more The place is left to be run by a bunch of un professional staff. Came to sit down and despite the place having many tables, the person by the door insisted that we have all of party present to seat us, which is understandable if they are busy but they were not even 50% full, when I said my brother was right there walking down the street, he insisted to hold his ground. Then literally 30 seconds later my brother is here, then I tell him he is right right there, he goes "ok, I will let you know when a table is ready", why not use stove common sense & say that a table is not even ready? Sounds like steering maybe because of the 4 kids ? Maybe something else? Very rude and I'm acceptable behavior. Then to add to it, turns out I was talking to the manager "Ello", who is acting in your face and challenging you more like a night club bouncer than a "manager" at a cafe....

Chilaquiles were mid. Nothing special, also lacked seasonings. The pancakes were the worse pancakes I've ever tasted. Tasted like flour or pancake mixture.

Soul Food Shack - Inglewood

Alright, it took me a second to gather my thoughts, but here it is…read more I came to Soul Food Shack with my expectations set squarely on the food. I was only in Cali for a short while, and this spot happened to be about 15 min down the street from where I was staying. Perfect location, and I was curious to see how Cali does soul food. From the first bite, it hit me Emotionally triggered as I was transported straight back to my childhood. It felt like I was sitting at the kitchen table in New Orleans, eating my nanny's candied yams, greens, macaroni, and fried chicken. The flavors had that deep, home-cooked love, that is not taken for granted or lost on me, so hats off to the cook! That kind of food doesn't just fill you up; it connects you,and to top it off, the drinks? Man, they serve that real deal kol-aid. The kind I used to drink as a kid. As I was eating, I started thinking about how food ties us to previous & future generations. It's wild how dishes once considered scraps i.e: greens, yams, cornbread, oxtails, are now sought out in restaurants just like this one. These meals are more than just food; they're stories of survival, resilience, and community. But I digress, I know y'all didn't come here for a history lesson in Black culture, so I'll leave it at that. Now, onto the standouts. The mac and cheese and yams? Easily the stars of the plate. I like my yams runny and solid, because I love mixing it with the cornbread. Sweet, savory, soft--that combo hits every time. The macaroni? Seasoned perfectly. Creamy, rich, and not bland like you sometimes get at other spots . That's rare, and I don't take it for granted. Overall, Soul Food Shack gave me more than just a good meal, it gave me a taste of home, miles away from where I grew up. If you're ever in Inglewood and need some food that feeds more than just your stomach, pull up, tap in, eat up.

When we arrived luckily there was no wait and were sat immediately. Luckily it was only a couple moments before a party of maybe 12 arrived behind us for dinner.

( see attached for reference ) i loved the balanced presentation and blend of flavors. Each tray had some miso, a 4 bite California roll, some rice, soba noodles, broth, wasabi and ginger. Mine came with some dipping sauce for the tempura. Considering the amount of food I was very satisfied. The tempura was gorgeously crafted with semi thin crisped batter, and a decent amount portioned. I was mostly amazed by my girlfriends pork plate. Their crisp cutlet had beautifully made with an easy crunchy exterior and soft tender pork savory to taste. All elements complimented each other perfectly. Their soba was also good quality and a nice touch to an already balanced dinner.

After browsing through their menu, we ordered the following items: Special Fish Combo (Spanish Mackerel): The Spanish mackerel was nicely grilled but lightly seasoned. It had quite a few bones, which took a little bit out of the enjoyment of the meal. The udon noodles had a very nice texture, however the broth was on the bland side. The California rolls were well made and flavorful. Tempura Combo: The shrimps were tender, however, the battered outer layer of the tempura was a tad thick and not quite airy. Like Fish Combo, the udon had a bland broth, and the California rolls were fine. Our main issue was the 50-minute wait time for the meals. As a courtesy, the restaurant definitely should have informed us about the delay.

I'm a little bit on the fence as far as my feelings for this place. My wife and I had breakfast here on one of my rare days off. I'd seen so many great Yelp reviews that I figured it was worth a visit. But my experience was both pleasant and slightly disappointing. I'll try to keep it short & sweet(ish)... The restaurant is located in a small strip mall. The surrounding area doesn't look the nicest or most welcoming. The inside of the restaurant is pretty basic but has some nice wall decor with inspirational saying on them. The place is relatively small although they do try to make use of all available floor space as possible. This is both a blessing and a curse since it means more access to seating, but in very close proximity to other patrons at times. Let's get down to the food... which in my opinion is good, but not great. The menu selection is plentiful with all your usual egg, omelette and pancake options. And they have crepes, which is a major plus in my book! Portions sizes are pretty generous and pricing is very reasonable. But as far as taste, everything was more or less A-OK to me. For me, nothing really stood out as being exceptional. As previously stated by other Yelpers, it does seem like the owner has connections to IHOP since the pancakes taste similar and the various syrup flavors are identical. IHOP quality food for little diner prices and great service to boot makes this a solid 4-star spot in my opinion. A great breakfast spot for the locals or anyone else that might be in the area. It'd probably be my Go-To place if I lived close by. But for everyone else, it's probably not worth the trek since you can find equally good breakfast spots that are closer to where you live. read more

I recently visited Loaded Cafe with high hopes after seeing their impressive social media presence. Unfortunately, the experience was a letdown. The restaurant wasn't busy, but cleanliness seemed to be an issue with dirty plates on several tables. While the complimentary warm mini concha was a nice touch, the service was lacking. I struggled to get a simple coffee refill and had to repeatedly ask different servers. For our meal, my coworker opted for steak and eggs, and I chose the chile verde, which was recommended as popular and moderately spicy. The salsa, however, was overwhelmingly spicy, far beyond the expected level. Despite the restaurant not being busy, our food took 30 minutes to arrive. My coworker's portion was so small it resembled a child's meal, and my dish was equally disappointing in size and presentation - especially for the $17 price tag. The chile verde's color and taste were nothing like the menu's depiction. Again, service for refills was poor. I had read about the owners' journey in starting the business, which seemed promising, but it appears the focus has shifted away from essentials like menu quality and customer service. The diverse menu seems to lack a clear direction, and the fusion of American and Mexican cuisine falls short in execution. Based on this experience, I cannot justify a return visit. Paying $50 for such unsatisfactory meals and service was not worthwhile. It's a reminder that great marketing doesn't always translate to a quality dining experience. Regrettably, this restaurant fails to deliver on its promise, both in culinary delight and customer service. read more

I've never done a review but I want to give credit to a great dining experience. We walk in and immediately hear a shout from the back welcoming us. We stood there for about a or two and the server APRIL came out with full plates in hand saying she'd be with us shortly. The manager MARIA came out right after with drinks in hand and then got our table ready. Our server was APRIL and she informed us that she would be with us shortly as she had several tasks to do which I really admired. MARIA dropped us off fresh warm conchas while we waited. When APRIL came she was very sweet and informative and also apologized about the wait which we didn't mind as our party are restaurant workers as well and understand. The food was really good and APRIL'S recommendation of using the green Sriracha for an added kick was really good. APRIL was really pleasant through whole experience even though sweat covered she always had a smile on her face. MARIA charged us and was very sweet as well . I originally was just going to do a 5 star review for free the crepe but didn't even bother asking about it because they were understaffed which my whole party understood (I'm a GM of a restaurant as the rest of the party were managers of various positions) with the whole "situation" businesses are slower so staffing so we completely understood.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Loaded Cafe, and I must say, it was an outstanding experience from start to finish! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it the perfect spot for a casual meal or a cozy catch-up with friends. One of the highlights of my visit was the exceptional service provided by our waitress, Liz. From the moment we sat down, Liz was attentive and cheerful, making sure we felt welcome. She was knowledgeable about the menu and offered great recommendations based on our preferences. Her enthusiasm for the food was infectious, and it truly enhanced our dining experience. The menu itself is a delightful mix of comfort food and unique dishes. I tried the loaded nachos, and they were absolutely delicious--packed with flavor and generous portions. Liz checked in frequently, ensuring our drinks were full and that we had everything we needed without being intrusive. Overall, Loaded Cafe is a gem, and Liz is a star!

I decided to indulge in two classic brunch dishes: the biscuits & gravy and a crepe. The biscuits & gravy were absolutely divine fluffy, buttery biscuits smothered in a rich, creamy gravy that had just the right amount of pepper and seasoning. Each bite was a comfort food dream, perfectly balancing heartiness and flavor. The crepe was equally impressive, with a delicate, thin wrapper that was cooked to golden perfection. Filled with a delicious combination of fresh ingredients, it was a light yet satisfying complement to the more robust biscuits & gravy. What truly elevated the experience was Mel's exceptional service. She was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely warm, making me feel welcome and ensuring my dining experience was top-notch.

On a positive note they give a good size portion for the kids pancake meal.. so we usually get that and add am extra egg or sausage if we feel more hungry. Pancakes and omelets are Very good here.. so we put up with the price. read more

I highly recommend this little hole in the wall for your next saturday/sunday breakfast adventure. read more

I had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant recently, and I wanted to take a moment to recognize the exceptional service we received from our waiter, Mel. From the moment we sat down, Mel made us feel welcomed and attended to with warmth and professionalism. What really stood out was Mel's genuine kindness and attention to detail . It's rare to encounter such outstanding service, and Mel truly made our dining experience memorable. read more

We had a wonderful Mother's Day breakfast at Loaded Cafe in Gardena. The food was delicious and beautifully presented, making the experience feel extra special for the occasion. Our server, April, was very kind, friendly, and attentive throughout our visit. She made sure we were well taken care of and added to the warm, welcoming atmosphere. Overall, it was a great experience and we would definitely come back again. read more
