    patty melt with curly fries
    Deni B.

    This place absolutely rocks, and I had no idea it was such a legendary spot until we got inside! It was about a 20 minute wait at noon on a Saturday. Our waiter, Marcus, was so kind and attentive. We told him it was our first time visiting, and he happily told us that pretty much everything is made fresh in house. Definitely made it hard to decide what to order because it all looked so good. We started with a pecan roll, which was served warm and was only $2.75?? Such a perfect way to kick things off. We all pretty much went for lunch food, but wanted to sample the housemade sausage so we ordered a spicy turkey patty to share. It was so flavorful! I went halfsies with a patty melt/curly fries and a cajun chicken sandwich/regular fries. I was easily able to swap the rye for sourdough and jack for American cheese. It was hard to pick a favorite, but I think the patty melt won for me! It was perfectly grilled, delightfully melty, and so juicy. And the curly fries are definitely worth the $0.35 uncharge. We were in and out pretty quickly, but now I just want to go back to explore more of the menu. Such a gem!

    I was skeptical of how good the food here could be, but overall I found the kitchen to be impressive, especially for a diner. The chilaquiles are as good as everyone says they are, and the hash browns are flavorful. The spicy turkey sausage was pretty good, but the scramble I ordered was just okay - not outstanding but not bad at all. Would definitely come back!

    Nat's Early Bite Coffee Shop is the community's diner! Forget IHOP and Denny's, come support a local business that does everything right. The food is made in a timely manner, the price is reasonable, and of course the flavors and portion size are just right. You can expect diner style booth and table seating, it does get a bit louder during peak breakfast hours. However, do not be swayed if there is a large crowd outside the diner. This is because service is quick and the wait has always been 10-15 minutes in my experience. Nothing beats a cup of joe and some reasonably priced breakfast items on a weekend morning (or any morning!). They have a pastry menu that is made fresh daily - in particular their pecan roll is one of my go-to's but they also have a great arrangement of muffin varieties. They have their own separate counter/clerk for pastry orders if you want any of them to-go. The #4 Large Scramble has been my repeat order and I must say it pairs well with their homemade salsa (please ask for the salsa at tableside!) Parking: Nat's Early Bite is located on the corner Northwest corner of the intersection between Burbank Blvd. and Hazeltine Ave. The parking lot is quite small - parking space is limited. Fear not as there is ample street and neighborhood parking within the vicinity. I am a repeat patron and recommended this to friends and family - the consensus is that it's simply delicious here.

    Lox Benedict

    Legendary breakfast spot. I've been coming here for over 20 years. On weekdays, you could still get a table, but on weekends, be prepared to wait for an hour or more to be seated. Yes, this place is that busy and yes, this place is that good! Nat's have a nice selection of yummy lunch and breakfast items, but for me, their Benedicts are the most epic. The Lox Benedict is just phenomenal-- eggs runny to perfection, English muffin nicely toasted, the lox is very good quality and their Hollandaise sauce that's topping Benedicts is just out of this world. Perfect in smooth texture and consistency, and with flavor notes of lemon juice, egg yolk, some salt and cayenne pepper, their sauce is the true headliner and completes this amazing breakfast dish. All ingredients work so well together and as you take your first bite, you know you're now in the territory of a very pleasant morning. My Benedict was accompanied by super tasty freshly made breakfast potatoes. I like to order mine slightly well done, with a bit of char on them. And as a side note, their black coffee is strong and very flavorful. I normally finish out my breakfast with that cup of coffee and their home made strawberry and apricot jams that they serve you complimentary at the table. Nat's has vibes of an old school diner with waiters who are still genuinely smiling, which is pleasing and rare. The customer service is excellent and they have about 15-20 comfy booths with a few additional tables for your dine-in pleasure. Just a great spot and I will definitely be back soon!

    Bacon and eggs and tater tots

    I mean just look at the photo, the food was sooo good. I love a place that has tatertots for breakfast. The service was incredible. My boyfriend stepped outside and his food was ready but our waitress left it in a warmer and mentioned she'll bring it out when he comes back so that his food won't get cold. That alone was good enough reason to come back.

    The sun always shines on Nat's!

    This is a solid diner with location through the San Fernando Valley. Came in at 9:30 on a Thursday morning and Breakfast Specials were still in affect. Hubs went with the 2 eggs, 2 bacon(or sausage), home fries, toast(or homemade muffin) and coffee for $13.95 - NO substitutions! I chose the 3 pancakes and MEAT(ham slab, dontcha know). I also was too tempted to pass up their in-house made muffins and requested a carrot muffin. Everything arrived at once, steaming hot and, looking at the time stamp, about 12 minutes from ordering. Pretty fast! I couldn't wait to dive into the carrot muffin, which I noticed was placed into a steaming bin before serving it, so it was moist, steamy and HOT. Butter placed inside melted quickly and deliciously. It was packed with shredded carrot, raisins and black walnut pieces - delicious! The ham was tasty and a simple, maybe 4oz cut. The pancakes were slightly chewy, which would please some, but I found it challenging to cut through them with a fork. They were tasty, but not as cake-like as my fave spot in San Fernando. Hubs was happy with his breakfast. The bacon looked good, but the potatoes were just flat top cooked in grease, traditional chunks. I still can't figure out why places don't add some Larry's seasoned salt or pepper to potatoes. Other than you're welcome to add the hot sauce provided upon request. A little seasoning goes a long way, but I have yet to find a diner that will add any. But I digress.... The place was bustling! Lots of seating towards the back of the restaurant and some counter seating for solo diners who prefer the stools. The booth we sat in was very cushiony and comfortable. Wall decor featured farm motifs and fresh food references. Everything was kept tidy, service was friendly and efficient. It was obvious they have lots of repeat, regular diners here at Nat's. Like a lot of places, Nat's has a slight surcharge for credit purchases, but discloses everything up front, and prints it on the receipt before you pay, in case you'd rather pay cash. Parking for this busy strip mall is free. Like I said at the start, a solid diner. I would be tempted again by their muffins. I noticed the added charge for my muffin was just $2.25. I'm not sure if that's the actual cost of a single muffin, or the +muffin price, after ordering two breakfasts. No muffin prices were listed on the "Muffin Board" or the menu. I might have to check that out with a "to go" muffin order and update this review with the answer. That is a great price for a quality muffin. Cheers! "CC"

    First time visiting the gem of a restaurant. It is located in a small shopping center with limited parking; however, be sure to locate parking wherever you can and walk as far as needed, as you will love visiting this place. The vibe here is retro, reminiscent of the 1950s--enjoyable and positive vibes. The one thing I noticed upon entering the restaurant was that every single table was occupied. This is obviously a very popular restaurant. Once seated, our waiter, Marcus, introduced himself and immediately took our drink and food orders. We waited all of nine minutes before our food was delivered to our table, and we were genuinely impressed by the lightning-quick service. Our dishes were very appealing and absolutely delicious! Each item was tasty, fresh, and perfectly prepared. Marcus, our waiter, was AMAZING! He checked us five or six times to ensure that we were enjoying our food and was ready to assist us should we need anything. Overall, this was a very positive dining experience, and we will gladly return here within the next few weeks.

    This place is legit! My buddy recommended Nat's, and after trying it, I can't believe I hadn't come already. The breakfast is outstanding. I had the chilaquiles with home fries and added machaca, by the server's recommendation. Everything was excellent. I highly recommend getting the green sauce with that dish, and don't skip the coffee, which is great quality as well. The place has great vibes and a line out the door. Service was helpful and kept the coffee coming. Can't wait to make my way back!

    WHY does the Valley have so many good brunch spots? We (over) ordered the chilaquiles with red sauce, Mexican scramble and the Mexican omelette. I would have to say the best was between the Mexican scramble and Mexican omelette. The Mexican omelette is described as spicy but as someone that LOVES spice, I was not expecting for it to be that hot. It was the most pleasant surprise so maybe keep that in mind if that's what you're thinking of ordering! My friend ordered the Mexican scramble and I think I will be ordering that next time because it had the perfect amount of everything in it. You could really taste ever ingredient and everything blended so well. I generally don't like chilaquiles but I felt that the one here was pretty decent. Both of the South of the Border Specials came with a free muffin and side (highly recommend the tatter tots - very crispy and delish). Service is quick and friendly. There may be a bit of a wait during peak times but once you're seated, everything moves pretty quickly!

    Maribel H.

    Really nice. There was a short wait but it really is a nice diner. Would definitely come back. The parking lot is ok, a little on the smaller side considering it's a shopping center. The food was great as well. Loved the tater tots!

    Corned Beef Hash
    Alexandra L.

    AMAZING food. Came out less than 10minutes. Very efficient staff. Everything tasted great. No complaints at all. 100% recommend and would come again.

    Morning Glory Muffing (carrot) - tasty and not overly sweet
    Curt H.

    Outstanding muffins - I splurged on a second with my breakfast: Morning Glory (carrot) and Lemon Blueberry Country Skillet was a hearty breakfast of ground beef, potatoes and onions with slices of avocados The house salsa is spicy and flavorful- don't miss it Parking is always a challenge in small strip center parking lot. Space can be found on neighboring streets Service was solid and kept my coffee cup full.

    Good breakfast burrito! Only $14

We had Sam and she was probably the best waitress I have had all year - or even longer. Fantastic recommendations and command of the menu while being attentive....but not overly friendly. Just a down to earth, good waiter. My favorite was the lamb hummus. Super sweet and rich flavor. It came with vegetables that perfectly complimented it and fresh made bread that was out of this world fluffy. I almost got another order right then and there! Little Gem salad was damn good. Perfect amount of dressing to off set the almost bitter (but amazing) greens. The best cake was a show stopper. Top tier desert. If you like dates, then you must get this. Get it with a side of vanilla ice cream. Margarita pizza was good but I feel this place has better elevated cuisine. If you are REALLY hungry, get the pizza as filler because it's BIG! The fried chicken sliders were juicy and sweet! I went for dinner, but could tell from this dish that they do not mess around with their brunch! Flaky soft roll, good fry on the chicken, and super sweet pastry/honey drizzle vibes throughout. Those went down QUICK! This is definitely a great date night spot. Strong recommendation. Cheers.

To top it all off, the owner personally reached out via email to thank us for dining at the restaurant. I thought that was such a thoughtful and genuine gesture. It truly shows how much they value their guests and the experience they provide. We'll definitely be back and highly recommend giving it a try!

Ordering is now done through your phone, or, if you're like me and prefer human interaction, you can walk up to the counter and place your order there. Unfortunately, the traditional waiter-service (although there was a bottle of water on the table) experience is gone, which took away some of the charm that restaurants used to offer. For me, that was a bit of a disappointment. Ironically, I still found myself tipping the cashier. As for the food, there were some highlights. My wife's avocado toast was excellent--fresh, flavorful, and well prepared. My chilaquiles were tasty as well, but not without issues. The eggs were cooked over easy and were much runnier than I would have preferred, and the chicken portion was surprisingly sparse. Overall, the meal was good, but the experience felt a little less personal than it used to. The food still has its moments, but I have to admit, I liked the old Blu Jam better.
