    Wanted to try this place after all the hype it has received, and I am not sure if I am fully impressed. The location is clean but fills up quickly. We ordered the barbacoa benedict and the country biscuits with gravy. While the food is okay, it was not impressive. Additionally, the service from the server could be better and more friendly. Our food all came out separately about 10 minutes apart, therefore, some food items got cold while we waited for the others to be brought to our table. Lastly, the homemade banana pudding is advertised all over the menu and the restaurant. However, they hardly have it available for ordering.

    Great breakfast spot. Huge portions . Ordered 2 different pancakes to try and short ribs Benedict to split. Great service . Would come back again for breakfast.

    Before today if someone asked me what was my ride or die pizza it would of been "The Mexican" from The Pan. After today that is no longer the case. The pizza that was brought out today was a giant cracker with cheese and the idea of chile verde in there somewhere. When I started going to the pan in Gardena this pizza would come out with a thick crust literally made in a pan to be able to hold in all the cheese, green salsa and chunks of pork. When it came out I noticed it was not looking the same as before but I thought it would be the same flavor. Not the case at all. I even called over the waitress to ask if this was the right pizza. There was no meat on it whatsoever. She agreed it was supposed to have meat on it so she took it away. Came back and was told that whoever made it said if they make another one it's gonna be the same. So they gave us the same pizza and I agreed to just having extra chile verde sauce with more meat on the side. As the pizza got colder the crust was turning into more of a cracker consistency. Now to be fair the waitress did give us the option to have something else made to replace it with another menu item, I should of took her up on it. I was so excited to have my favorite pizza and left so disappointed.

    Pineapple Upside Down Pancakes

    I ended up going to The Pan over the holidays for the first time. They have a really exciting and tempting variety of pancakes. I couldn't make up my mind between the raspberry pancakes or the pineapple upside down pancakes. I ended up going for the pineapple pancakes and they did not disappoint! I ordered eggs and crispy bacon to accompany my pancakes but honestly they didn't need anything with them. I really only wanted to spend my time eating the pancakes. We sat at the bar our first time there because it does get busy. I'm glad I did because I met Meagan who was bartending that day. She was fabulous! I didn't know what drink to order and she suggested this chocolate or coffee cinnamon drink. You can see it in my picture. It was mouth watering delicious!! I ended up coming back after Christmas just so I could get that drink again. The restaurant is a nice size inside, clean, and the decor adds to the feeling of comfort and it's welcoming there. It's definitely a place you could bring friends and family.

    Country benedict
    Roz E.

    Looking for a place to have a good breakfast while you are in Lomita? Well, try this place! We got in before the rush, so yay! We got the country benedict, raspberry pancakes, and the Mediterranean omelette. Everything was so good! I totally want to go back and try so many other items!

    Kielbasa Scramble
    Breana M.

    This location is a nice size and has great menu offerings. Love their breakfast menu and the options to upgrade to specialty pancakes. We ordered the signature scramble, the kielbasa scramble, and upgraded to the specialty pancakes - lemon dream pancake and cinnamon roll pancake. Everything was absolutely delicious and tasted as great as imagined. Totally appreciated our service - the waitress was amazing and extremely attentive. She gave us open and honest feedback regarding her thoughts on menu options she has. I look forward to returning and love that it's a local breakfast spot.

    Short Rib Benedict
    Christina T.

    Such a cute brunch spot! There was a DJ on Sunday while the football games were going on. Considerate that the music was not super loud so people could still have their normal conversations. There were endless options on the menu. The service was fast, but our waters were not checked to be refilled. When I actually could use some more water, we were leaving. I got the Short Rib Benedict, which was recommended by our server between the two choices I was trying to decide from. It did not disappoint! I loved how it was not super heavy and loved that it was on top of corn cakes. The poblano sauce was delicious! I tried a bite of my friends shrimp n' grits & it was also good. Definitely a hearty meal. The steak 'n' eggs were also good. Although the steak was overcooked from how it was ordered. My friends also loved the Charlie Brown Pancakes & the breakfast burger.

    Chicken and Chicken 'N' Waffle  The Pan's Signature Scramble (1) Specialty Pancake
    Marina S.

    Came here for an early mothers day brunch for the first time and was impressed by the great service, beautiful decor and delicious food and chai latte! Even got and extra pancake for Mother's Day. The chai was delicious and so was the strawberry pancakes. I asked for extra crispy bacon in my scramble and it was actually perfectly crispy.

    The Pan - Lomita: A Southern Charmer Serving Elevated Comfort Food! Stepping into The Pan, you're immediately greeted with that quintessential Southern charm decor--it's cozy, comfortable, and the service? Top notch! This spot perfectly executes American comfort food with some serious flair and hearty twists. Forget basic hash browns; we're talking dishes elevated with unique ingredients and careful prep. We dove straight into two of their most talked-about signature dishes, and let me tell you, every bite was a revelation. What We Devoured: Shrimp 'N' Grits: A total favorite among regulars, and now, us! The Cajun-seasoned shrimp and andouille sausage are perfectly portioned over creamy, cheesy savory grits. The flavors are bold, balanced, and instantly satisfying. The Pan French Toast (Combo): Not your average breakfast staple. They use thick-cut, batter-dipped brioche that's served with a side of heavenly vanilla butter and powdered sugar. We opted for the combo, paired with two perfectly cooked eggs and crispy bacon strips. Fluffy, flavorful, and filling--loved every single bite! The Vibe & Sips: Sips: We indulged in a couple of mimosas--one classic orange juice flavor and a strawberry one--both were refreshing. The coffee was nice, too! Atmosphere: Casual and relaxed, it totally fits the style of food they serve. The pricing is super reasonable for the quality and portion sizes you get. Whether you're hitting up the Lomita location for their dinner options or brunching it up, this place is a must-visit for anyone craving delicious, well-crafted comfort food. Highly recommend!

    Breakfast burrito
    Erina P.

    My husband and I stopped by The Pan around noon on a weekday and were seated immediately. We ordered a breakfast burrito, Cubano, and a mocha frappe. We thought the food was very filling--I have no idea how "authentic" my Cubano was, but I nevertheless thought my sandwich was tasty (some of the pork was a bit dry). Prices were reasonable for the generous portions.

    The "Original" Loaded Hash Browns
    Brent O.

    Such a deep menu! I had original tots and added pineapple pancakes, but subbed the syrup for coconut syrup. So good. The pancakes come with some delightful melted butter with the syrup, giving it a nice salty and sweet combo. Service was super friendly and fast. It's a chill place you could hang with your group and chat. There's a parking lot in back.

    Stuffed French Toast
    Katelynn R.

    The loaded hash browns are the best thing to share for the table! I loved my stuffed French toast too, especially because it wasn't overly sweet. Service was attentive and friendly. She did great even though she's newly hired. Inside was clean and we were sat right away. Always a great place to eat with friends.

    Michelle I.

    My family and I had a big group--party of 10. On a Sunday, I would think it'd take a long time to wait for a table, but it wasn't too bad. Waited for less than 30min despite the number of parties ahead of us. Seems like they're organized and are good with time management. Staff and friendly and made sure we were updated on the wait time. We appreciated the quick service and attentiveness. The food we had was flavorful and plentiful!!! Worth the price of each dish. We had the shrimp n grits, short rib Benedict, Ultimate crepe, Charlie Brown chocolate pancakes, steak n eggs. Chorizo omelette, guava pancake and pineapple upside down pancake too, etc. There was a DJ who took requests via IG, which was cool. I liked the music while grubbin'. We will definitely go back there!

    Will you open for dinner any time soon?

    Hello Jesse, as of right now we aren't. Is really hard to find staff. Our location on 1425 w Artesia blvd, Gardena is the only location providing dinner at the moment.

    We will be a party of 10. So do I WL is for the largest party you being a party of 6 and then in the comment section "Party of 9 plus a highchair?

    Yes. The space is pretty big so I don't see them not being able to accommodate a party of 9 plus highchair. My suggestion is to call the restaurant first and ask.

    What are the vegan options?

    Not sure but their menu is online. Also, you might want to direct your question to the owner, she is kind enough to respond.

    Are they open on thanksgiving?

    No we will be closing for thanksgiving day and resuming regular hours on Friday. Thank you and sorry for the inconvenience.

    Do you have a phone number to call and asked a couple questions regarding having brunch for 14 people?

    (424) 328-0080 Good luck getting this location to answer the phone tho

We were thrilled to see a few menu options that were marked as vegan. Bonus points for being affordable! I completely missed their attached parking lot when I arrived and ended up parking across the street in the neighborhood, where there was ample free parking. When we arrived, the restaurant was about half full and there was live music occurring on the patio. We opted to sit inside where it was a little less noisy and there was a comfy and cozy booth calling our name. The vibe was great, with fun and eclectic decor. The service was really upbeat and friendly and our server was so kind and helpful. We asked him if the espresso martini had dairy in it (which I just discovered that is a thing at some places) and he double checked with the bartender to ensure there wasn't my dairy in it! I ordered that alongside a falafel wrap I must say, both of these worked so well together. The espresso martini was light and refreshing yet still had a bold flavor. The falafel was nice and crispy with a delectable inside and the tahini sauce was so rich and creamy. The meal felt indulgent yet hearty all at the same time. I left feeling so uplifted and relaxed all at the same time. Despite it being on the noisier side, I was still able to hear my friend well and it was such a great place for us to catch up. I would highly recommend this restaurant and would definitely return the next time I'm in the area!

To my surprise the bread basket had flat breads, yeast breads annnndd BANANA BREAD?! What?! It was amazing! Back to the steak. It was cooked perfectly. The fig and Gorgonzola crust was addictive and did not take away from the quality of the meat. I cannot wait to come back! Thanks for having me.
