First Time checking out this place after hearing many good things from friends. The Vanilla Butter on French Toast was delicious! Along with the Guava 'N' Cream Pancake! Just the right amount of sweetness to it. Our waitress was very friendly and the service around Brunch Time on a Sunday didn't disappoint. Plenty of outside parking in the lot! read more

We had a pancake craving and decided to check out the Pan and it did not disappoint. First of all our server Aurora was super nice and attentive along with the rest of staff who greeted us. The inside is laid out a bit packed but the food and service make up for the ambiance. I ordered the lumberjack breakfast with a side of the lemon dream pancakes and it was great. With the lumberjack breakfast you get 2 sausages, bacon, eggs, and potatoes so it is a hearty meal. I think a little more seasoning on the potatoes wouldn't have hurt but in general it was still flavorful. The real star of the show was the lemon dream pancakes they were fluffy and just what I was hoping for. The lemon curd, butter, and whipped cream were a great combination and made for a really moist pancake that was both sweet and tart. If you go here be sure to try the pancakes since that seems to be their specialty. We are looking forward to coming back to try the other pancake flavors since this one was a hit. read more

Used to frequent The Pan in Long Beach for breakfast every week after a run of night shifts (bottomless mimosas yay!) So pleased to discover one had opened at PCH. Shrimp and grits - 9/10 Hallelujah. So buttery. So shrimpy. Grits were perfectly cooked. Perfect amount of bell peppers and green onions. Kinda wish the sausages were more prominent; they were kinda drowned in the background. Overall best one I've had at a pan so far. A pleasant surprise. Breakfast burger - 7/10 Potato part, everything except the burger - Nothing spectacular. According to present company, "just okay." Thankfully better than fast food. - 5/10 The burger patty itself - "SO GOOD" - 8/10 Chai latte - 1/10 Unfortunately weak. It's like drinking diluted milk with a bit of chai flavor. Peach lemonade - 2/10 Sure it looks kinda pretty but the syrup ain't even mixed into the drink, so ends up as lemonade with chunks of peach syrup in straw when you can get it. Nawlins Bananas Foster French Toast - 1/10 "I feel almost healthy when I eat this" Tastes more like regular toast drenched in cinnamon and syrup. No sense of decadence we usually expect from a French toast. Batter is direly lacking. Bananas were good and ripe. We really wanted to love this.. But "oh my god. They actually made a French toast I can't finish." Just like my Chai. My sweet tooth of a brother finally discovered "a dessert I regret eating." The staff is quick and friendly and the music isnt too loud, just right. They are much appreciated! Edit: "I know! The French toast person was sick today so the burger person had to make it!" Either way, we'll be back for nostalgia. Love the Pan read more

The ambiance in here is amazing! Food was delicious and we were attended by kind staff! Wish it was closer so I could come her more often but definitely coming back! read more

I came with my family while in town and we were seated right away. Our server was kind and patient as we had our 3 young children, sometimes it can take us a minute to figure it out. Once we figured out what we wanted bc there was so many good choices, we got our food pretty quickly. The food was super tasty and just exactly what you want for a breakfast spot. It was clean and cute decorations. Would come back again when in town! read more

Sit down get drinks then brought half the food but never got silverware so we wait then I get up to get it from the front counter. Bus girl comes around and sets it on corner of table and then walks away. Food was pretty bad as far as actual taste goes. Bacon had a weird taste, sausage was cheapo sausage, has browns were undercooked and looked unappetizing, eggs were ok but likely not cage free. Pancakes tastes like they were made with water and not milk so tasted gross. Syrup was dull and barely had a maple taste which likely means sugar and water base. The other plate ordered was barren of taste and even with added flavor it was barely edible. Don't. Update: ended up with food poisoning read more

The pineapple upside down pancakes are delicious and service was great. The atmosphere is warm and inviting. Portion sizes of food were good. Next on my list are chilaquiles they looked great read more

Food is ok, service is not good. Server kind of rude. Not enough servers. Never going back there again. read more

100% spot on!! Not counting how many years ive been going here BUT their food doesn't disappoint ever!!! Keep up the greatness

Came here for breakfast a while ago. Easy parking. Had their Signature Scramble. It was good. Service was fine. I'd eat here again for sure. read more

Food was delicious and perfect way to start the day. Aurora was our waitress and she gave excellent service. I highly recommend it and would go back! read more

Great food, great service. Consistently good food. Huge menu. Can get a little loud but it's a vibe.

The food was absolutely incredible! Great customer service by Aurora. Great atmosphere. Definitely recommend this place for breakfast!!

Went with 4 girlfriends after a hike in PV. The food was okay, nothing to write home about. My friends both ordered cappuccinos and ended up sending them back. They both said it tasted like straight whole milk. The restaurant is itself was clean and the service was pretty quick. What did rub me the wrong way is literally less than five minutes after paying our waitress came to our table and asked us to leave because there was a party of seven waiting. It seemed odd since there were other parties that were there before us and they weren't asked to leave. We were the ones that stuck out like a sore thumb since we weren't Caucasian or Asian and that seemed to be the whole demographic there. I am Indian and all my girlfriends are black...We probably won't be back because of that. read more

Cool new location and great service. Very clean and great food! Little wait time compared to other locations. read more

Very good food and great service A bit noisy but the overall experience is great! Totally recommend it read more

Managed to get in without waiting in line on Saturday morning around 10am. It was packed but we got the last seat. The staff were attentive and friendly. We started off with a cup of coffee and our order came pretty quick. Great place to grab some great breakfast or brunch. So many choices of food and the food was fantastic!! Highly recommend this place! Plenty of parking outside as well. read more

Cute place. Ordered the cinnamon roll pancakes and hubs had the bananas foster French toast. Both were so yummy! Next time I need to try the tiramisu pancakes bc those looked delicious. Great ambiance and service. If you're a breakfast person this is a must try. read more

Amazing breakfast spot! I suggest the loaded hash browns, which are loaded with eggs of your choice, bacon, sausage, green, cheese and topped off with an amazing chili aioli!! - THIS IS A MUST TRY! Also, one of my favorites is the short rib Benedict. This is unlike any eggs Benedict you have ever had. Poached eggs (or any style you want), on top of perfectly cooked braised barbacoa, topped with Mexican creamed corn. All of the above is draped across a warm corn cake. ALSO A MUST TRY! These are just a few of the many spectacular entrees that the Pan offers. If you haven't been, you don't know what you are missing! read more

The ambience is nice & cozy. as soon as we walked in the hostess was really nice. our waitress was very helpful, she suggested i get the original loaded hash browns and my oh my, it was absolutely delicious! the hash brown was perfectly cooked. the chili aioli was tasty as well! read more

Ive been a fan of the pan since it's opened and everything is amazing here. The load hash browns are a must and the pancakes are to die for. If you're into deep dish pizza, I would highly recommend getting any of the deep dish pizzas. You really can't go wrong with anything from here. All day breakfast and lunch starts at 11am. Must try for anyone in the area read more

I loved this place! Always delicious options to choose from and good price! Service is excellent! And ambiance is family friendly

Im writing this very disappointed. I had high hopes for this place many people telling me how good it was. Strike 1: To start we are a larger party of 8 but two of us were missing they would not sit us unless the entire party was there! I would understand if it was only 2 people asking for a table of 8 but 75% of the group was already there! Strike 2: they finally sit us and it took about 8/9 minutes before anybody approached us to get our drink order. Now my family and I are the type to read a menu and can decide fairly quickly what we want. So when the server finally approached our table we put in our entire order because who knows how long it would've taken to order drinks then wait for them to come back and take our food order. Mind you the restaurant at the time we entered was maybe half full. Strike 3:when they told us to wait for the rest of our party they told us we had to wait outside! My wife my four kids and I had to wait OUTSIDE! Unbelievable. For the time we had to wait and the service we got the food was mediocre at best. Had we been treated a little nicer and greeted a little better the experience would've different The only saving Grace to this place is the speed in which the food came out. They slice their potatoes thin to cook them faster and the eggs well are eggs. Same with bacon and sausage my wife got the stuffed French toast and I got the pineapple upside down pancakes. They were eh. The decor was nice I might use the coffee mug idea and make one myself. read more

The food was just delicious. Ordered the Chicken & Waffles with the blackberry butter and it was to die for. Others in my party had more savory meals and those were just as mouthwatering. The service was excellent- the hostess, our waiter, and busser were nothing short of attentive and the atmosphere was perfect for the morning. read more

Service was great! The restaurant was clean. The food was delicious! Pineapple upside pancake was amazing. My son had the cast iron burger which he said was delicious. read more

Alcohol is coming! They are waiting on their license but I know some people need a mimosa with their food. As a tea drinker they offer chamomile or green tea with extra hot water I ordered the veggie omelet with an upgraded waffle and I was extremely pleased. The potatoes with some bell peppers and onions were crispy and well seasoned, the omelette was not dry and well packed with spinach, mushrooms, bell peppers and onions. It comes with cheese but I took that off. In love with this location because we got seated immediately around 10-ish . It got packed shortly after. The waffle was fluffy and buttery. I don't like syrup so they offer a tray with butters, strawberry and grape jam. I looked at the cocktails and they looked so good but I'm not a soda drinker and they have sprite - minus the mangonada cocktail which comes with mango puree. Definitely saving this spot. It was well ventilated so it was nice and cool, very open read more

I have only been here once but I definitely enjoyed my meal here. I had the guava and cream pancake and they were unique and delicious. I believe I had a second helping because it was that good. My phone ran out of power that day so i could not take any photos. I wish I did. The location is a bit far from me but I hope I can stop by again. I will never forget those pancakes. read more

Good food and good coffee. Everything I have ordered has been super good. Chilaquiles are my favorite.

Won't be the next time. Had to wait more than 45 mins for food. Half of the restaurant sit and wait for food because "we have too many To go order, our kitchen is backed up" We'll manage it better . ! Customers that come in and support the business better. There are many better place than this too. Change your management and practice before more people leave ! read more

Good food good servings, friendly staff Reasonable prices really cute place. I've gone to both locations. Both are cute. One on PCH is a little bit bigger. read more

We tried a bunch of different savory dishes including pancakes to share. Pancakes were a bit too sweet for me, but everything else was good. It was crowded on sunday morning so we waited outside for 20 minutes till we were able to be seated. read more

I think our server was overwhelmed with the breakfast crowd. She mustn't like that I asked for water after she brought the coffee. Wasn't she supposed to ask us if we would like to have water too . She had a smirk on her face. Was it too much to request waffle without powdered sugar and chicken wings with the sauce on the side? I didn't even get the sauce. And after these, she just kept on bypassing our table. The food is good but not that good that I have to go back to endure a rude service. I will not go to any of the Pan's restaurant. Too sad since the mother of the owner is a nice person. read more

The moment you walk in you are greeted with a pleasant welcome and smile. We found this place on yelp, and we are pleased to have enjoyed these delicious meals. We're here from out of state and this place deserves 5+ stars!! We love that their menu has so many options. Our server was Aurora, she was very friendly and attentive. These dishes were full of flavor, and the cappuccino was scrumptious. We highly recommend this place and will probably come back to try their Pizza. Which Aurora stated the dough is made from scratch. Nothing in this facility is frozen, everything is fresh!! Their interior is very fun and welcoming for all ages. read more

My mom and I got some takeout on a Saturday and it was super busy. We had breakfast earlier in the morning so we want a light brunch. We ordered the loaded hash with buttermilk pancakes. The loaded hash browns were really good, the sauce they put on top went well together with the cheese, the eggs, bacon, and the sausage. The best part was the buttermilk pancakes. It was probably one of the best pancakes I've ever had and it's kind of unfortunate because I do live pretty far from here so I'm kind of sad about that. When I'm in the area again, I will definitely come back. Since we did takeout, it took about 15 minutes. And if you plan on eating at the spot, there looked to be quite a wait on the day we went, which was Saturday. There's a huge parking lot for the Center so parking was definitely not an issue. read more

I ordered there meat lovers omelet, and when it got here, the other half of the omelet, wasn't even there. Other half being the bottom side. It was just a egg laid on top of the meat and nothing else on the bottom to hold the meat in. It was also pretty bland tasting, so I can't say it was exactly great or anything. I already ordered a waffle, but that was good, obviously. Hard to exactly mess that up. The potatoes though, that came as a side with my omelet, however, was pretty bland, which I know, I shouldn't be expecting much since it's potatoes, but some seasoning wouldn't have hurt to put on at least. Overall, pretty disappointed since this place was recommended to me as having really good food, which could still be true, and I just ordered the wrong things, but my experience with this place is being underwhelming. read more

Decided to check out the pan this weekend bc my husband and I were craving pancakes and wow do they do pancakes well. While they do have regular pancakes, their "thing" is specialty pancakes: lemon curd, bananas foster, pineapple upside down cake, etc. we tried the lemon dream pancakes as well as the chile verde breakfast burrito and the pancakes were the star of the show! Actually insane. Still thinking about them. The portions here are generous and staff here was friendly. The restaurant isn't a place you would come strictly for the ambiance. It's in a strip mall type location by the Torrance auto mall but the food and warm hospitality make up for that. I will be back again to try more pancakes. read more
