    Loxocado Toast
    Nichole B.

    Super cute diner style restaurant. Came in on the weekend, pretty early. Parking is not easy, but you will eventually find street meter parking. Service was friendly, and the food was delicious!! The chicken and waffles was on another level. The chicken was crispy and super juicy despite being thin. The gravy...well forgetaboutit...I could have just had that on it's own! Welll done!

    Breakfast Sunrise Burrito

    Friendly, quick service. Dog friendly, outdoor seating. Cute diner feel with table and counter seating. High quality country fried steak. Probably batter in-house. Doesn't taste like the country fried steak at Denny's or IHOP. Large portions. A little pricey for a breakfast spot but more quality ingredients than a typical diner.

    Old school since 1941. This place looks small but there are many tables in the back patio available. The original front dining area retains it's old world charm. We ordered the Ortega omelet with avocado, house potatoes, and sourdough toast. The food was really good and the service was quick despite them being busy on Father's Day.

    Solid diner for breakfast. Nothing fancy -- just good food, kind staff, and a few different seating areas so you can pick your vibe.

    Chicken Country Fried Steak with gravy

    This was such a hidden gem! This was like one of those places in LA that your friends tell you about because they love ypu. This place had a super cool old-school diner vibe 1940s built great service great food gotta say probably one of the best chicken fried steaks I've ever had. The coating on the chicken fried steak holy hell! Gravy, top-notch eggs we're real, not from the carton like you see at some places and delicious The only downside I'd say is the potatoes need some more seasoning Great spot but small so there might be a wait so worth it. Service was top notch. My coffee was never empty and everybody checks on you.

    Deuces Wild
    Zan L.

    One of my favorite diners in West LA. It's a true California diner in the best sort of way and as the name suggests it's very small, but it doesn't feel too crowded. They have indoor and outdoor seating as well as counter seating in the front. Parking was easy to find in the neighborhood behind the restaurant, otherwise it will be metered street parking. Our server was extremely polite and very fast with the refills. Also all our food items came out quickly with no errors. They have a lot of great options on the menu, mostly traditional American diner classics. One of my all-time favorite dishes is Eggs Benedict so I wanted to try that for my first time visiting. It was terrific and the eggs were cooked perfectly. We also ordered the Deuces Wild and the pancakes were especially delicious. They were really fluffy and really tasty. We also ordered a biscuit on the side and had that with some fresh strawberry jam and it was a great combo. Everything was honestly really good and made me immediately want to come back for future visits.

    Dry, overcooked shoe-sole like fried chicken breast and the overdone cardboard like waffle.

    Really BAD. The worst meal I have had in Santa Monica in fifteen years, along with the worst service I have experienced. A burned cardboard-like waffle and burned fried chicken breast for me and a cold waffle for my friend, plus burned coffee. The bill arrived in the middle of the meal, not sure why, especially as the restaurant was virtually empty (with good reason as I know now). After we complained about the food, one waffle was taken off the bill. The server took a plate away from my friend without asking if he was done, before my friend ate the blueberries, which were the only decent part of both of our meals (because they came from a store). But she left my plate in front of me - as if she could only carry one plate at a time. In other words, nothing makes sense here. Save yourselves the grief and the money. They really should just go out of business.

    The service is great and the mimosas are good but that's it I would never come here again because how all the food was nasty first I ordered the hungry man and I didn't know they put it all together like literally and then I ordered everything separately and it was still disgusting I think they need a new cook because he can't cook

    The kitchen

    This place is adorable. Old school, quaint, and casual. It's like a blast from the past. Sit at the breakfast counter and watch the line cooks do their thing. The food is exactly what you'd expect-not fancy but solid. Don't come here expecting a gastronomical affair. This is old school eggs and bacon. Although, they DO have avocado toast. So they are keeping up with the trends. The servers are delightful. There are lots of regulars. We got the breakfast sandwich and the oatmeal. But we're exactly what you would want them to be.

    Chorizo and Sweet Potato hash. Fresh and delicious!

    Delaney is an angel! We literally visit just to see her and experience her one of a kind, top notch service! Not only that, we truly enjoy the food quality every time we visit! This snug diner never fails to exceed our expectations and the price point is wonderful for the location!

    Sunrise Burrito
    Mallory C.

    This place kept popping up on my Google Maps, so I decided to finally go here for brunch. It has old-school diner vibes with a lot of that kind of charm, too. The wait staff is super nice and they always seem like they're having a great time -- a good sign! As for the food, everything I've had here was great. The chocolate chip pancakes are incredible and really have a lot of chocolate chips! I also enjoyed the Sunrise burrito a lot and the coffee always hits the spot -- and the staff is generous with coffee refills! I've come here a few times and I'll definitely return again!

    Not only is the food amazing, the service was excellent. Everyone is so nice and check in with you to see if everything is ok. They have indoor and outdoor seating. We loved it.

    I would say this is one of my favorite breakfast options in Santa Monica and in West LA in general…read more They have some really unique menu items and the inside has a really great atmosphere along with great service. We were lucky enough to find a metered street spot directly in front of the restaurant and did not have to wait long at all for our Saturday morning brunch for a table of two. Our server was also very polite and everything that we ordered came out very fast. I started off with the Iced Maple Latte and thought it was really nice. It was a really sweet treat and I enjoyed it. For my breakfast, I chose the Eggs Benedict with the Sujuk sausage and added avocado and croissant. It was one of the best combos I've had in a long time and I am already eager to go back again to get it. I would highly recommend to everyone and would happily say this is one of my favorite breakfast options around.

    We were greeted at the door by what seems to be like the man in charge while the hostess looked for…read moreseats and he was lovely. and that's about where the good experience ended. We agreed to outside patio seating at tall seats which is more than fine. but we were sat at a shared table with a family which is fine when you have context that you are doing so, but i spent the beginning of the morning listening to two different children play of their phones blasting the sound. additionally both the seats we were in were directly in the sun which for me is fine but my bf burns very easily. but okay fine, it is what it is. We politely waited until the table next to us emptied, and then told the waitress we would like to move because the sun. She said we would need to wait and she would need to check. And then came back and told us they were too busy. We watched the seat we wanted to sit in be empty until we asked for boxes for our food. We watched another table stay empty until we left. The waitress never introduced herself either. Additionally, no one checked up on us during the entire meal. Usually any sit down restaurant would ask how your meal is. No one did. we weren't even given silverware when our meals arrived. we had to go get them ourselves. We had to ask for boxes after sitting and waiting for anyone to check in. We separately had to call out to the oblivious waitress to even pay, as she was standing out there just looking around. The food was great, like i wish we would have had cash to tip the cooks themselves bc the food was really good. But Ive attached photos of the food (great!) and photos of the many empty tables that made them sooo busy they cldnt accommodate the paying costumers that already ordered. my boyfriend and I have both worked in the service industry before. But i would just say that they had horrible service which can ruin a perfectly good meal. I hope if the owner is the one I met at the door, he considers getting new waitresses .

Decor is more post than a typical breakfast place ... but the prices definitely align. There have much on the menu under $25 but the food did not disappoint. Got the hojicha.

Was tempted to get the blueberry fresh toast when I looked at another table, but decided on the stone pot , and glad I did. It was delicious, and the portion was generous. Not a place I'll eat at regularly because it exceeded our copper breakfast budget LOL. But definitely worth it when I want to treat myself or someone special
