I've been visiting different locations of this breakfast spot, and this one stands out as having…read morethe best atmosphere in our neighborhood. At many brunch restaurants, you can sometimes sense when the basics -- like pancakes or French toast -- aren't given the attention they deserve. They may look appealing on the menu but feel rushed or underwhelming when served. Here, however, the fundamentals are done right. There's care in the texture, balance, and execution, and that consistency makes all the difference. Weekend mornings often find us slightly sleepy and very hungry, searching for somewhere comforting to begin the day. What we want is warmth and familiarity -- something that feels almost as cozy as staying in bed. And when the craving for sweet carbohydrates hits, we're not looking for restraint. We're looking for soft, fluffy, fully satisfying bites. If that's what you're after, this location delivers. You'll likely leave in a better mood than when you arrived.

Ordered the birria Benedict, unaware that it had a ton of corn on it. Not ordering again…read more My wife got the chicken and waffles and the chicken was bland, we also got a side of potatoes- bland as well. So disappointed because we have been to the gardena location and food has always been great. Paying $40 plus for something you didn't enjoy should be illegal. The best part of both plates was probably the waffles. Service was fast to say the least, and there's ample space to sit but it's so so loud.

1st time this morning, Brioche French toast was 3 stars,…read morelooked good, but bread was actually kinda hard instead of pillowy soft, not terrible, but not good either because of hardness. Scrambled eggs 5 stars, no complaints, Bacon 4 stars, I've had better, not bad. They have a green salsa if you ask for it, Service 4 stars was good enough Ambiance 4.5 stars, had a good vibe, big open place, parking is behind the front with ample spaces. Overall 4 stars, will go back and try something else.

Some of the worst customer service ever from everyone working inside the restaurant. The woman in…read morethe front who seats people is miles ahead in customer service than anyone inside. She was amazing. All 3 tables around us got their food before us. All 3 tables had to send back their food because it was either wrong or incorrect. Place looks well staffed but everyone seems miserable aside from the woman outside. Our food was also wrong. Out of 4 dishes 2 of them were wrong. If you order anything sweet, food or drink, expect heavy amounts of syrup. Not homemade syrups. Maybe hersheys or maybe wal mart brand. Not sure. Very synthetic. Hey at least the food looks great. The ambiance is great. The service is bad. The wait time is even worse. Waiting for a table is understandable. Waiting an hour for your food after being seated is not. Does not help when the server is rolling her eyes the whole time, and with an angry face the entire time. She was like that when we walked in so i know it wasnt us. Parking: 0/10 Wait time: 0/10 Service inside: 0/10 Service outside: 11/10 Food look: 10/10 Food taste: 3/10 Drink look: 10/10 Drink taste: 0/10 Also the table next to us which was a small group spent their entire time talking about how bad th service and food is. Once we were served we tried to form our own opinion. Unfortunately it was identical. Very dissapointed

The first thing I noticed when we arrived was that there was no wait to be seated, which was nice…read more The menu also had plenty of options to choose from, so there was definitely a good variety. My boyfriend ordered the biscuits and gravy, and I decided on the strawberry French toast. The restaurant itself was not very full, and the service was just okay our server checked on us twice during the meal. Once our food arrived, I was really excited to try the French toast, but unfortunately it was a bit cold and not as good as I expected. My boyfriend said his biscuits and gravy were also a little too salty. The biggest surprise for me, though, was the price. For two breakfast meals, one cup of coffee, and a juice, our total came out to around $60. Personally, I felt that was overpriced for the quality of food we received. I understand that everything is more expensive these days, but I still do not remember breakfast being this costly.

When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Today, I'm at O&WS. Since I prefer omelettes over waffles, I got…read morethe #3 Avocado, Bacon and Cheese Omelette and a cup of coffee. Pretty, pretty, pretty good. For the omelette, the hero was the avocado. The rich and creaminess texture from the avocado made the omelette that much more enjoyable. The toast was crunchy and buttery. The coffee was a nice medium roast. The home-fried potatoes were good. However, I prefer mine a little more crispier. Seating is available at the counter, booths and in the small patio area. Service was very friendly and prompt. There is a very small parking area. I opted to park in the residential area. TY for the owner's response. Definitely will be back to try a new meal. Kudos to the high commitment of the owner for customer satisfaction!

So this is my parent's favorite breakfast spot in the city. And I can see why, now that I've tried…read moreit out for myself. It's a classic diner type restaurant that serves good quality food at a reasonable price. It took me a minute to select an omelette since there were so many options on the menu. But I ultimately settled on the avocado, bacon, and cheese omelette. It came with home fried potatoes. The omelette, on its own, was pretty good. It was hearty and filling. However, when paired with their slightly spicy salsa (which doesn't come with the dish, but you can ask for), it was fantastic. Seriously, ask for the salsa. You'll thank me later. Can't say much about the home fried potatoes. The potatoes were good, but nothing special. The same can be said about the service. I don't have anything good or bad to say about it. The server did everything you would expect from a server, nothing more, nothing less. One note about this establishment before I conclude this review. They prefer cash. If you pay with a card, they will charge you an extra $1.50.

Best Breakfast for the price. Great Atmosphere…read moreAttentive Staff Ate here before jumping on our cruise. Secret....Get here before 9am and order the Early Bird.

Love that there is a parking lot behind the restaurant. Found handicapped parking near the door…read more Short walk to the restaurant. Dining room was about 1/3 full which is petfect for me. The decor had lots of pictures of old San Pedro mixed with a nautical theme. The music was classic rock which I really like. I chose the barbecue Tri-tip wagyu with fries without salt. I paired my lunch with a bottle of Heineken. The beer was served with a chilled glass mug and was cold. Service was excellent and very friendly. Tri-tip was good, not outstanding. I don't like fries that are pre-coated. I prefer plain cut potatoes fir my fries. I am still on the hunt for my favorite barbecue place

Let's…read morejust say I wasn't expecting there to be a theme because my partner chose this place for brunch, but they are serving up some gooooood American breakfast classics. Standouts include their Chicken and Waffle, which is served with candied bacon wrapped around a bunch of thyme (not exaggerating here). The lemon herb butter is the best part. I stole some off my partner's plate for my biscuit, which was warm and moist. If you're going on a weekend, it does get busy. Make sure to check in with the host if you're using Yelp Wait List, or you'll end up waiting longer than expected. It's also very loud and dark in there, so if you'd like a more chill ambiance, get seated on their patio.

Love their vegan menu. Not a lot of brunch spots that serve…read moreVegan eggs which can make brunching difficult. But this place has a good selection of vegan breakfasts! The decor is also very cute and IG worthy. My favorite latte is the mazapán with soy milk (comes with whip, but I ask without) Service is good enough, It's very busy so I get the running around for them so it's ok for me. When they do make it to the table they are tentative and friendly.

We were then told our name had been called, but I was paying close attention and it seemed like our party was simply skipped - out parties name was even crossed out on the waitlist That said, Edwin later apologized and made things right, which I appreciated. Sam was our server and did a great job throughout the meal. The highlight for me was the tiramisu latte--it was excellent. The birria omelet was decent, but a bit dry and could use some improvement. Overall, not a perfect experience, but I appreciated the effort to correct the situation.

Tried The Nook Breakfast Spot for the first time. Located on PCH in Lomita in large plaza that has…read moreCold Stone Creamery next door, Dollar Tree and Grocery Outlet in the same. Plenty of parking on a Sunday morning. We were warmly welcomed in by the staff and given our choice to sit anywhere. They were moderately busy with customers dining in and outside. Whenever having breakfast somewhere new to me, I like to try a basic breakfast of scrambled eggs, bacon, potatoes, and a starch. Since they offer homemade biscuts, decided to give that a try. Hubby chose the green chilaquiles plate and OJ. He said it was about 3.5 stars. My plate looked and tasted good however I was surprised that the 2 eggs appeared to be 1 egg. The server was OK with getting another egg. Overall, my plate was about 3.5 stars. The service is kind and welcoming. Their soundtrack is upbeat and ecclectic. They do offer lunch specials Monday through Friday from 12PM to 3PM which is their closing time. Breakfast/brunch is so competitive in the South Bay. There is a place in Torrance that the hubby and I frequent regularly and they set the bar high. (You can probably guess what place that is from my regularly posted photos from there.) Overall, the Nook is 3.5 stars from us rounded up to 4.

We all ordered different Skillets, Instead of writing about each one, I will say that all five of us were satisfied and thought they were all good. The Nook has what you like. I will point out that the skillets are not black cast iron; they come in white porcelain, shaped like a skillet but looking more like a plate. We did order Strawberry pancakes, which we shared. Service from the waitress was lacking, I believe it was the b owner he came several times to check on us. Nice place and will be back .
