Vittoria H.

I've had two recent experiences here - one dine-in and one take-out. Pro tip: if you order take out, there's a discount of 15 or 20% OFF. It was quite busy on both visits on a Saturday and Sunday morning. While I waited for my meal，I was given a small concha as an appetizer I guess (free of charge). My food was tasty. Essentially I ordered breakfast staples - sausage, scrambled eggs and Feench toast brioche waffles. I got an ice horchata coffee or latte as well. Service was prompt and staff was professional. My take- out order was the super veggie omelet. I thought this dish wasn't bad but I wish it had hollandaise sauce. I am definitely ordering the spinach mushroom stacker / omelet next! I also aim to try more of their specialty coffees. Its nice to have this place locally and hope it sticks around for many years to come!

The service was great! The waitress was excellent. We were seat quickly which was a plus.

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.

Kids are back in school so me and the wifey are having breakfast. I like the loaded steak eggs. Can't go wrong with that

April is a great server! The food is great!! I love the restaurant and the environment!

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!

Love love LOVE. Loaded Cafe and anytime I come I'm looking for Norma to be my server. She is kind and attentive and will keep you feeling looked after. I have a really specific taste for chilaquiles this is where I will go. Family vibes on the inside definitely a family friendly rest

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.

Randy A.

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.

Im never one to leave a bad review because I feel like it's never necessary but we got seated at 12, there's not many people dining in but it looks like they don't have enough servers even for the small amount of people eating in. it's been an hour and not only did they barely serve our food but they also brought it wrong and cold. Me or my family won't be coming back again and we will definitely be letting others know not to come to eat here. I'm sorry but when you work in the service industry even if you have a break at least get someone to cover your tables just don't leave them waiting hungry cuz then you're gonna get a review like this. You guys really need to work on this. Other tables we're experiencing the same I was watching to make sure it wasn't just us. read more

Loaded Cafe has a nice mix of American and Mexican breakfast & lunch eats. Staff, especially Mell are awesome and attentive. Son killed the chicken fried steak and eggs, good gravy! I enjoyed the spicy Jalapeno bacon cheeseburger, great house sauce and really good onion rings! For the table they give conchitas and they were some of the better ones we've had, fresh, warm and soft. Son got the Oreo milkshake and loved the thick whipped cream and shake, he's a connoisseur. Again, Mell was great and if we're ever in this area again we'll make this a stop! Mini shopping complex with many little businesses and tight parking FYI. read more

What a great find! My kids and I came here for lunch after a Saturday morning hike. Plenty of parking. Looks small but is huge inside with a home style diner ambiance. We waiting about 15 mins to be seated the place was packed but seemed to have a nice flow of business going. The prices are low and the portions are large. There's plenty of classic options as well and some specialty items. Our food came out quick and hot. The food was delicious! The steak was tender, flavorful, and juicy. The same was said about the chicken tenders. The eggs were cooked perfectly and the sauce was tasty. We will be back! read more

People keep calling this place the Mexican Denny's. The only thing that I have to say about this is because it is. They serve their take on breakfast favorites but they are also offering lunch and dinner items too, despite closing at 4 too(most Denny's I know are around the clock). They kind of remind me of the Pan and Corner Burger but those are two different reviews for a different time. I've tried crepes, the shredded beef and potato burrito, a burger and the potato tacos covered in queso. Standard comfort food. 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. Time to loosen the belt! ;) In a week where we have had some personal issues, it was so nice to be treated so well and received such a great tasting meal.

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....

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.

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. Will definitely come back and again thank you APRIL and MARIA you two are rockstars read more

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 can't wait to return for another meal and to see her bright smile again. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great food and excellent service! read more

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. Whether you're a local or just passing through, Loaded Cafe is a must-visit brunch spot that promises delicious food and excellent service. read more

What makes it more concerning is seeing other reviews describing similar experiences. At the very least, the seating process needs to be more transparent and consistent. If there is a reason one party is seated before another, especially when they checked in later, the staff should be able to clearly explain why. Unfortunately, that did not happen here, and it made us feel unwelcome. I wish we didn't stay, but kids we were hungry. But I won't be coming here again or recommending this restaurant.

Been coming here every week, it's simply the best, most freshest, wholesome, filling, healthy food…read more, that tastes like you are cheating !! The Thai salad, maxed out bake potatoes, chili and Claim chowder are off the chain. Not mention that the salad dressings are all made in house... nothing is store bought or white labled. The spot is always clean, like when I was in the military ...lol. Rick, his wife and Staff are always on top of it with customer service and quality food leaving no doubt the it's customer 1st ! I fully recommend this spot for your good health and peace of mind.... Price point, you would pay a lot more for similar, on Rodeo Blvd, In the 90220

The owner is a great guy, with great staff. It has a nice atmosphere, with amazing food. Always a…read morepleasure to eat here.

My dish was great, but the coffee was too sweet (yes, it's already designed to be that way so definitely my fault for ordering). I'll definitely be back to try some of their other dishes.

I hate to leave a negative review!…read more First time here. Noticed a few people sitting with no plates on the table. I didn't mind to wait. Up until the waitress came. She kept rolling her eyes at every question we had. We switched our minds and she didn't hide the fact that bothered her. It was so unpleasant and uncomfortable I got up and ended cancelling as soon as she walked away. She got mad & admitted that we couldn't make up our minds. That's wild! You are a waitress people are going to have questions about the menu! If you do not like waitressing you are just going to make the business look bad even if the food is good. The service is what also matters. I left hungry and mad. Smh It takes a lot for me to become this upset to come and leave reviews as negative like this to impact a small business.

Still a 5 star experience. Most of the time we get our order to-go. Corner Joint is a very reliable…read morerestaurant for to-go orders as the food is just as appeasing to the eye and palate when its packaged to go as it is in the restaurant. This time we dined inside. Our waiter was very friendly and helpful. We ordered the caprese panini with a fresh side salad and the beef burger with french fries. The pannini was large and full of flavor and the burger was loaded with condiments fried onions, lettuce, tomato and pickles. The fries were hot and crunchy. There is plenty of parking in the shopping center and clean restrooms. This location has a full bar and many big screen televisions with some sort of sporting event playing. Know they have a large selection of menu items many of which we have tried. Their pizzas, salads and Italian options have been very enjoyable in the past.

Came here with wife and kids and everyone enjoyed their meals. Good selection of comfort foods,…read moreincluding some interesting twists like peach pie pizza with burrata, and brisket steak. Daughter loved the chicken parm served with pasta. Beer selection was solid. Truffle fries tasty too. Service was great and friendly, and they had playoff games on TV. Was perfect for what we wanted that night, and we will definitely be back.
