Howie's Waffle
Emily Y.

I've been meaning to come here for awhile, but the wait time is usually very long on weekends during peak hours. We managed to come early around 9am this Sunday, so we only had a ~10 minute wait. I've heard good things about Nat's so I was very excited to try here. It definitely exceeded expectations! My partner got the Guadalajara Skillet with over easy eggs, it had a good amount of heat as well as nice crispy texture from the hash browns. I had the Lox Benedict, which was delicious! The hollandaise sauce was rich and creamy. Finally, we got the Howie's waffle to share, which was the perfect amount of crunchy and came with assorted fruit and maple syrup. The waitress offered us this amazing housemade apricot jam to go with the toasted English muffins, which I think may be the best jam I've ever had. Unfortunately they were out of jars today, but I will definitely be back to buy a jar in the near future.

Eggs Benedict with lox
Steve S.

This spot has great breakfast offerings. I love their Eggs Benedict with lox with a side of breakfast potatoes. The portions are generous and the hollandaise sauce on top of the eggs is delicious. I love the moment when the runny egg breaks against my fork, slightly mixes with hollandaise sauce and as they both soak up the english muffin and lox, I set up my fork for that perfect bite for me to indulge on. The mixture of flavor notes and different textures creates an awesome umami effect that your taste buds can really appreciate. The service is always great here, as the waitresses are attentive and smiling and the ambiance is one of a classic diner, with 20 some booths and a breakfast bar area with semi-open kitchen. For good vibes and good breakfast or lunch, this is the spot to go to. Will definitely come again!

Wow! Came here on a rainy rainy Saturday morning. There was a wait outside the door. That's how you know the food must be good. We went inside and put our name down. The place was packed. We really thought it was going to be a long wait. We only waited maybe 10 minutes. We got sat towards the back. I cannot remember the server's name, but she was very patient with us and was very knowledgeable about the menu. She made a couple of recommendations and they did not disappoint. I had the eggs Benedict with bacon and my husband had the green chilaquiles with steak. Both came out pretty quickly. Both were very delicious and tasted very fresh. We left very satisfied. We would definitely come back.

Large scramble #3 ground beef.
Jenn H.

If I could I would eat here everyday. Large scramble #3 is always my go to. It's the homemade salsa that really puts it over the top. My order is always cooked exactly to my request. I love Nat's for the in house made salsa, jam, muffins and sausage. Cindy was our server today. Always sweet and always helpful. Sherman Oaks is closer but Nat's West has better parking and seems roomier. Booths and tables are a little dated but clean. There's nice mural and decor on the walls.

Veggie Omelette

This place is a hidden gem. The service is amazing, all the waiters/waitresses are energetic and friendly; they are on the move refilling your coffee cup. Oh! And the food is great. I had an omelette with fruit. The omelette was delicious and the fruit was fresh. This is my new breakfast spot.

Came here in a group of 2 on a Saturday afternoon, there was a little wait but we only waited for about 10 minutes to be seated. This was that classiccccc diner experience that I've been missing! Bustling and chatty atmosphere, really great place for families for sure. I ordered a spicy Mexican scramble dish and if you look at the photo, you can see that serving size is HUGE - it was enough for me to have 2 days of leftovers! And it was SCRUMPTIOUS. Loved that hint of spice and it was such a balanced scramble - no singular ingredient heavily overpowered the other. Parking here was free and for 3 meals and 3 drinks, we paid a bit over $65 - a good bang for your buck FOR SURE!

Corned beef hash and scrambled eggs with cheese, home fries, sourdough toast
Stacee S.

Loved the classic diner vibe at Nat's! Corned beef hash was really good and my partner liked her omelette as well. Coffee was strong and kept coming, which is my favorite part of any diner breakfast. The blueberry muffin was really good, moist and full of blueberries, just how I like it! Overall, great experience, good service, I'll be back for sure! Small additional charge (3.5%) for using card so I'm glad I had cash.

I normally never leave reviews for restaurants, but I feel like I have to this time because our waiter was the rudest and most irresponsible server I've ever had. In front of us, there were two older white men, and he kept going to their table, smiling, and asking if they needed anything. For us, he never once did that. He never asked if we wanted anything, never checked if we wanted refills, and when we were done eating, he saw our empty plates but didn't bring us the check. When he finally came around, I gave him my card, and instead of returning, he sent another person to bring us the bill. I honestly believe it was because we were two young people, me and my brother, and also because we're Mexican. Meanwhile, he treated those two white men much better, as well as bigger families around us. Even the cups we were given were dirty. Maybe he assumed we wouldn't leave him a tip, which is why he was "kissing up" to other customers. But the truth is, we were going to tip until he treated us so horribly. In the end, I did not leave him one. We waited 20 to 25 minutes just to get our receipt, and he still didn't even have the decency to bring it back himself. If you need to know who he was, it was specifically a chubby guy with slicked back hair and a tattoo on his forearm.

French Toast

This is my go too breakfast spot. Friendly servers and an overall great experience. It's Verrryyyyyy goooood!! veryyyy dihlishhh :)

Pan San breakfast with ham
Luke A.

Local popular greasy spoon. We are slowly exploring breakfast and brunch options around our new house. While I prefer a slightly more sophisticated brunch, sometimes you just want a stick-to-your-ribs good old fashioned breakfast. If that's your jam, head straight to Nat's. We stuck with traditional breakfast options for our first visit. Eggs Benedict and a pancake combo breakfast. Both were tasty. The wait was looooong for a table, so we chose to sit at the counter, since there were seats available.

Dropped in for a casual Sunday lunch, and joined a goodly crowd of folks enjoying a weekend meal…read more The place was buzzing, and I took a seat at the counter looking right into the kitchen, so I could see the team working hard to keep orders moving quickly. I ordered a traditional turkey club sandwich, but swapped the usual fries for breakfast home fries, which they did without any extra charge. Despite the crowd, my food was ready in under 10 minutes, and I was given quite a generous plate. The sandwich itself was built with high quality turkey, crispy bacon and very fresh veggies. It all worked together exactly as intended, and was a very satisfying traditional bite. The home fries had a goodly amount of peppers and onions, but could have used a dash more seasoning. I added some salt and a few dabs of ketchup, and the starchy side lit up as it needed to, and was a nice change of pace from French fries. Service was jovial and attentive, and one really can't complain about this stalwart coffee shop doing such a good job of making comfort diner food so well.

Their lot is tiny. The service was alright. I wish they fill up my water but I couldn't find the staff. When the staff came to check on us, we basically already finished eating. The Texas Burger 5/5 was juicy and cheesy. The cheese melt properly and soaked up the meat and the butter-toasted buns. The vegetables were crunchy and crispy. Liver and onion 2/5 was just so so. The liver was cooked right but could be more creamy and buttery. The caramelized onions, as you can see, were still pale and could be cooked for longer. There are a few sides with it plus garlic bread. Onion rings 5/5 were crispy on the outside and soft and tender inside. They were cooked just right and the seasoning allows some buttery and extra crisp. 2x2x2x2 5/5 was plenty of food for two people. I would get this if I was indecisive. You can't cook these things wrong anyway because they're simple to make. Overall, it was interesting to check out the place but this isn't my favorite.

It's been around for decades and has served tons of patrons over the years. Inside is huge with all sorts of tables and booths so it can host many different sized groups from small to large. It's located in a small shopping center so there is plenty of free parking attached directly in front, which is extremely convenient. Our server was very polite and everything that we ordered came out very fast. For this visit, I started off with a cup of the Chili and thought it was actually really good. I am a huge fan of chili and don't often get some that I really love, but this was definitely one of those. Next came the Mini Blintzes and these were pretty nice. I prefer a full Blintz because it has a lot more cheese and filling, but still these were a nice start, especially if are were new to this appetizer. For my entrée, I chose the Pastrami Reuben and thought it was great. It was honestly huge and I even forgot to take a picture of it because I was excited to eat it. I would suggest if you are a fan of Rubens and would suggest this restaurant in general if you like a good deli.

It is a pretty non-descript strip shopping center. It can best be described as an old-school diner/deli, full service, and pretty much always bustling. I was surprised that it was almost to capacity by 11:30am, even before the lunch rush. You take a look at the menu, and note that the prices appear to be about 5 dollars higher than places similar in nature; however, you will also soon realize that the portion size and value for that dollar goes a long way, and you will quickly notice that the price paid is really good for what you get. I ordered the Monte Cristo which was deliciously fried egg bread with turkey, ham and a side of jam. It came with potato or macaroni salad; however, I upgraded to fries which were awesome. The service was nice; however, definitely a little rushed. However, that may come with the type of establishment. Either way, the food came out fast -- the food was delicious and I would certainly return again in the future.

They must have recently completed an interior/exterior renovation finally, it's about time! One of the reasons why I was ordering is cause I couldn't stand being inside. My experience yesterday dining-in was a better environment. However, the place was practically empty. I'm pretty sure I know the reason why. It cost me $69 for a half sandwich soup combo, and half a pastrami sandwich with a side of chopped liver, and a hot tea. The tea plate was very thoughtfully appointed: hot water container, cup, honey, lemon, and a good quality teabag, served on a stone plate. My half pastrami sandwich was quite divine, the Ryebread was very fresh, but there was a little bit too much fat on the pastrami. The coleslaw was a little bit on the older side. And the chopped liver matched the expression on the waitresses face, it also was served without any bagel chips, crackers, or rye bread, nor was I asked if I wanted any of those items as typically you spread chopped liver on something! Their napkins are literally like using rough bad paper towels. I believe their utensils are oversized. My guest was extremely doted on, the waitress said that she was making it a half sandwich and soup combo, but I don't think that's what I was charged. How can two half pastrami sandwiches, a bowl of lentil soup, and a small scoop of chopped liver with a cup of tea come to $69??? My experience coming here in all my years is that the place was extremely packed- any time I came. Even my next-door neighbor who lived on the block for over 50 years would come here weekly. They used to have almost the best matzoh ball soup on the planet, not so much anymore they've changed the formula. The matzoh balls used to have flavor and be soft. I make a mean matzoh ball soup, and when I'm not feeling well, I used to buy it from here to nurse me back-to-health- Nature's remedy. But not so much anymore. their chicken soup had become the price of liquid gold. The UGLY: this is an older Edited Review unposted from 4 yrs ago: This review is specifically for the so-called manager that refused service to me (who knows maybe he's not there anymore?) this morning after I had already paid for the order. When I told him I would be leaving a bad review he said he would be removing it!! I've been a Customer at this restaurant for over (28 years). I placed an order through the UberEAT app to be picked up at the store for my lunch today. Despite having a receipt that the items were paid for there was no order for me to pick up at the restaurant. When I asked to place another order as I was running late for work, I needed my lunch, the manager was going to charge me more money than I had paid on the app!!! And then finally told me that he's not placing the order for me that I can do it through the app!! He also refused to give me his name. Hopefully that person doesn't work there anymore. If so, buyer beware, stick to ordering directly with the restaurant to save yourself a nightmare!!!! this guy, if he's still there, sent a 32 year old customer away from the store without any lunch and made her late for work!!!!!!!!
