First visit today. Here's how it all went down: Walked in - stood waiting not greeted Noticed table roped off with caution tape Bucket catching flowing water from leaking roof Still standing 3 mins later... Figured maybe it's a sit ur own self kinda place, sat at one of the 3 dirty tables available... Looked around again... Not greeted still no instruction - Walked out! Now I know LA isn't really a place that deals really well with heavy constant rainfall since it is rare so maybe they didn't know their roof had a open hole for water to flow through like a faucet... I can semi forgive that...well somewhat....but I couldn't force myself to eat at an outside raining lunch picnic party in a dirty park without the least amount of hospitality. I'm from Louisiana y'all... where hospitality is an all time high so the bar is pretty high. Bottom line: The place was a dump. Maybe my next visit to LA I will try when it's sunny. read more

It's a really good small diner! I usually don't write reviews but this place is really good! Since it's near by from my house it comes in handy once in a while to come and grab a bite I recommend coming down to try it out for yourself. Their fries are very good and their burgers also. They also serve breakfast all day. Just maybe service can be a bit off sometimes due to (waiter not paying much attention on her customers or taking a long time to come back and check on us) but I'm giving it a 5 stars based on food and food quality friendly environment and just great food :) I'm not gonna give it a minus star based just on a bad waiter service, she's a nice lady just maybe needs some pointers. But anyways! Great food! read more

The place is a hit or a miss. The breakfast burrito is good...the chocolate bacon waffle was good. Would have been better if the chocolate chips were mixed in the batter. Instead of it being scattered on top of the already made waffle. The service was not great.....I could leave a tip for the cooks that's all it would be. Cuz the credit would go to the back house. Good luck if u try the place go with breakfast burrito and a chili cheese fries. Wouldn't go back. read more

Zig's Restaurant - Diner bar. - American Near Me - Reseda, California

I love coming here! Really nice people and really great food! I recommend the crepes, they are absolutely delicious!! I've been coming here since I moved to Reseda and they are amazing !!! I recommend this spot if you like American breakfast in a home-y feeling restaurant read more

My take-out order was executed incompetently; I had asked to have my sandwiches cut in-half, extra-veggies, etc, and they didn't take care of even one of my side-requests. The fruit-salad I ordered contained cantaloupe that was past its prime; Meaning, it tasted like it was decomposing. On the other hand, the chocolate-cake and apple-pie were good. The quality of food and service of this "restaurant", overall, do not warrant another visit. P.S. This restaurant wishes in its best dreams it could be considered professional. When I showed-up to pick-up my order, the cashier and the manager were fighting with each other, making everyone feel awkward and uncomfortable. P.P.S. For burgers, In&Out, The Habit and The Stand are my places; Zig's doesn't even make my top 20. read more

So good they're on the top of their game I just had a burger there maid to Perfection with grilled onions still a really great option and reasonably priced Burger and Fries out the door less than 8 bucks and I'm full read more

My boyfriend and I eat here pretty often for breakfast. My favorites are the sausage breakfast burrito and the Redneck Benedict. The burrito is packed with their amazing country potatoes, sausage, beans and cheese! The redneck Benedict is English muffins topped with eggs, sausage and their super yummy sausage gravy (it tastes homemade!) Haven't tried their lunch yet because their breakfast is just so good. If this review was based on food alone, they'd get a full five stars. But... We went in to the actual restaurant to eat once, and once only. The service isn't the best and it's probably because they usually only have maybe 2 servers running the whole front of the house and it's very hectic in there. I recommend ordering for pick up because the food is yummy but the dine-in part needs some work. read more

Zig's has great food and prices...just needs to be freshened up a lil. Super friendly staff

This may have been an off day for the service staff and cooks, but I was not impressed in the very least. The only good thing I can say is that the price of our food was very inexpensive, but given the blandness of everything we ordered, it is summed up with, "you get what you pay for!" First if all, our server was having trouble concentrating and I had to ask for stuff I had ordered 2-3 times, it got annoying :( I had the 2 eggs classic and I was not a fan of my cold country potatoes. The OJ is from concentrate although I expected fresh squeezed, since they have a machine in plain view. I should have asked to make sure, I guess. The french toast I got, looked delish, but no flavor af all, even with tons of syrup added. My boyfriend's burger did not come with fries and the server did not warn us or ask if he wanted fries. The coffee was watered down and not coffee tasting. I may be willing to give this place another try at a later time, but for now, even the cheap price is not worth my return. read more

Quality diner with affordable, filling breakfasts. I had eggs and bacon which arrived piping hot. The eggs were fluffy and the bacon was crispy. My boo had the chorizo served with warm corn tortillas on the side and the portion was HUGE. My coffee kept getting topped off before I could get to the halfway mark. I'm not even mad. read more

Zig's Restaurant - Beast mode portions for brekkie! Chorizo served with warm corn tortillas on the side. - American Near Me - Reseda, California

Stopped by this spot for lunch with the fam. The servers were friendly and checked on us often enough to make me happy. We placed our order and waited for our food. It seemed like our food took a little longer to come out than I expected. Maybe it was the fact that we had 3 hungry little impatient mouths to feed. I ordered a bacon cheeseburger but noticed that when I got it, it came without bacon. I wasnt trying to make a big deal about it so I didn't tell the server. The burger itself was delicious and filling. The bad part was that when we got the check I was indeed charged for the bacon that I didn't get. The wife and kids liked thier burgers as well. Their garlic fries were pretty awesome. One of the girls opted for the pancakes which she devoured. One thing that my wife noticed was that the price on the check didn't match the menu price for the kid's burgers. Nor sure what that was about. So overall the food was great, the pricing was decent, and the service was good. They just missed a few things on our visit that would have given me a better impression. read more

Zig's Restaurant - Cheeseburger no onions - American Near Me - Reseda, California

They are under new ownership and there's been some great changes to the menu. This morning I got biscuits and gravy with scrambled eggs and they were awesome. My husband has had a hard time finding a chicken fried steak that he really likes. For some reason everybody keeps screwing with the great recipe. Here it said he love the chicken fried steak! Who knew it was so hard to find a great place that makes great chicken fried steak? And it turned out it was so close to home after all. Come and give it a shot. I watched the owner cook our food, and put it on the counter to be delivered, and when he saw that all the servers were busy, he walked out from the kitchen and brought us our food himself. The service is great, and we are noticing that others are also liking this place as well, because every table inside was full and most tables outside were full also. read more

This place is mos def, a Hometown Hero with the Bullet Burger...ITS HUGE! My Co workers and I used to come and a have a good time during lunch as for the waitress. they are cute! but i think they are related to the owner.lol so watch yourself read more

I've been going here for a few years and they have great milkshakes and good cheap fried food. BUT today the waitress (a busted looking girl on her phone the entire time with NO manners) messed up my order then ATE the messed up order right there at the counter. Sad for her since I had licked my finger and touched the sandwich to determine that it was wrong.. And she'd turned off the ice cream machine off at 6:20 so I couldn't order our milkshakes. Not sure what the deal is here.. She was the worst waitress of all time. read more

When I saw this place from the outside, I was like "okay, okay".. then right when I walked inside, I was like "awesome!". The deco is cool, although my boyfriend says that the little random posts of mirrors confuse him, lol. Overall, had an amazing experience here. Its an awesome "hole in the wall" diner that has a cool vibe. The server/hostess/watever lady was really nice & welcoming.. The regulars that were there were also friendly & even chatted us up for a bit. So.. the boyfriend & I ate some really tasy food (sausage breakfast burrito & steak, eggs, and hash browns). I didn't really know what to expect from this place, but i was definitely surprised! For sure worth the visit! :) read more

I don't know about you guys but breakfast is my favorite meal of the day. This is why I always look for great breakfast spots near me. This restaurant was near my Reseda apartment. Found this place through Yelp (duhh) and decided to go one day. They have breakfast, lunch, dinner, and everything in between. The price is very reasonable and who doesn't want to save a few bucks these days, Not a big place, but cozy and had a home-feel to it. The waiter was very courteous and nice as she took my order. The first time I went I got the sausage, egg, and potatoes. What I noticed most and stood out from this dish was the potatoes. They were covered in garlic and very tasty. Though this place is nothing to go crazy about, it is a solid place I want to go back again soon. Thanks Zigs read more

I give this little nondescript place 5 Stars for a simple reason; The Food & The Prices! It doesn't look like much, it's kinda small, it needs a paint job... do I really care about any of that? No. I've only eaten there twice for breakfast but both times the meals were well-prepared and tasty and since I've stopped drinking soda with my meals I spent $10 and that included a generous tip based on the cost of the meal. Even if I still did they only charge $1.75 for soda with free refills. read more

Local diner. They have a variety of stuff on their menu. Came in for a burger and it was alright. Nothing to write home about. The burger was over cooked. I don't think i'll be going back. read more

The food here is good, at first when the new owners took over I wasn't to sure about it, they had to work out some bugs but from what I can see its the same family that runs the liquor store across the way(antidote) , I've lived right across the street from this place for about 3 years now and have grown very fond of the owners of both zigs and antidote, I gotta say they've done well for them selves and I come here almost every Sunday either with my wife and/or kids , but a lot of times by my self too, Zigs has been very consistent with the good quality of there food and service, they are very nice people who care about there customers and the quality of there food.. im sure ill see you guys next Sunday or so. read more

I had stopped going there a while ago, however when I found out it had been sold, I thought, hell let's give it a shot and see if it did change. I was more than thrilled with my decision to go back, the difference is night and day!! Food is yummy, service is excellent, and their coffee rocks! I am hooked again, and been going there at least twice a week:) read more

New to the area so I decided I would a) start a yelp account b) go to as many "hole in the wall" restaraunt as those are always my fave. I am looking for a diner I can frequent where everybody knows my name and I feel like Zigs is that kinda place. You can tell by the report the main waitress has w/all of her, what are obvious, regulars. AMAZING French toast, delicious and bold coffee and a CUTE decor to boot! Pricing was so great!!!! read more

Man this place is a gem! Great customer service, the waitresses become family because they never forget a customer. Great tasting food as well, them country potatoes are fuego! I've been living down the street for 20 plus years and would always see it but never thought of giving it a shot until 2-3 years ago. To this day I'm still mad I didn't try it 20 years ago. Zigs is my go to local spot! read more

Zig's Restaurant - 2+2+2 - American Near Me - Reseda, California

I love Zig's. It is one of my favorite diners in the valley. The staff is always amazing and the food is consistent in my opinion. I really dig the sauce they make for the huevos rancheros as well. I like that it's a small joint and you can tell it's a locals spot. It's inviting and has history. I've had some great counter conversations with strangers and really enjoy having breakfast here. I recommend you give it a shot. read more

Drove by here the other day and was looking for a lunch joint. We didn't expect anything but we were pleasantly surprised! This was one of the best diners I've been to. I had the avocado burger and the wife had the fish tacos. Both our dishes were great! The green garlic fries were good too. Everything was fresh and if felt like things were made in-house. Not like the chain diners. We'll definitely be back! read more

Today was my first time trying the place out and I must say, I was impressed. The service is good and the food is delish. Tried the corned beef hash and it was perfect not salty nor greasy. They have definitely gained a repeating customer. read more

Really nice owner, great service, and solid food! I came here with two dogs and there's a small patio that the owner graciously allowed us to sit at with my dogs. The owner even brought water for the dogs. We ordered the breakfast burrito and the 2-2-2. The burrito was really good, they also have a special cilantro sauce the owner brought us that was delicious. The 2-2-2 is available with blueberry pancakes, yum! What makes this place really special is the service. The owner was super accomodating and nice. He was really on top of refilling our coffee and making sure we had everything we needed. I definitely recommend and will be coming back! read more

If you want good old-fashioned home cooking, this is the place to go. Everything tastes like Mom made it. Their breakfasts are wonderful; one of the best blueberry waffles I've ever tasted. The sandwiches are terrific and so are the salads. The hardest thing about going here is trying to decide which delicious item to choose!! read more

Love this place but if your sign says open and your site states your open until 4 every day ... why are you locking the doors and closing at 3:20 ? Not happy not professional read more

The staff is great and the food is good enough, though slightly less in portion than other restaurants. Get their garlic fries.

This Place is the best. The food is amazing, the service amazing, the whole place overall is awesome. 5 stars. Come by Zigs and enjoy

This place was busy when i came in on Saturday morning and now i know why. From the friendly waitresses that served me and my 12 yr old Daughter to the Chiefs that cooked my delicious breakfast. We had the pleasure to have Destiny and Gail as our waitresses. They both greeted us with a home welcoming smile. Felt like I knew them for years with there welcoming energy. Destiny was always making sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our meal. Both meals came out at the same time, warm and punctual to our desires. Delicious down to the last spoon! Thank you Destiny and Gail for the great customer service! Definitely telling friends and family. read more

I grew up in the valley, and I believe this place used to be called the Greasy Spoon? But I could definitely be wrong. The beau and I came here yesterday for a late breakfast/lunch, and it was yummy and cheap. We were seated and brought our drinks immediately, which is a huge plus, especially since this place is quite small. Being the tuna lover I am, I got a tuna melt on rye, with onions of course - note sides like fries are ordered seperately. The beau got the chocolate bacon waffle, and while his first few bites didn't contain any bacon, the rest of it did, and he thoroughly enjoyed it. This place is good basic food, we will likely be back. read more

A good local spot if you live nearby. It's walking distance from our house so my husband and I have frequented it as our Saturday breakfast ritual. Good basic egg breakfast, good prices and casual atmosphere. Lots of regulars and great service. No frills. No waiting in long brunch lines. The perfect affordable neighborhood spot! read more

I had some time to kill waiting for my motorcycle to be serviced. I asked the guys at the shop where to get some breakfast. They suggested Zig's and I am glad they did. I love mom and pop places. They don't have to be fancy, just average ambiance but good food. Zig's really hits the spot. I had bacon and eggs with cottage potatoes. Everything was cooked perfectly. The potatoes were crispy and light brown and top just the way I like them. The service was good, people were friendly. When I need breakfast near there again, I will go back. read more

Ordered the 2+2+2 I think that's what it was called Included: pancakes, bacon, eggs, hashbrown Want anything grand Decided to try this place for the first time to be spontaneous. Let's just say it will be the last time. The food was very bland. read more

Arrived at 3:40 pm on Friday. 5 customers are eating and it smells of freshly grilling hamburgers. However I am told by a non chalant woman beyond the counter that, "we aren't taking anymore orders." Wtf? read more

We went there on 03.19.2015 for dinner. We ordered chicken cutlet and steak burrito... The price for the chicken cutlet was a bit too much, there was nothing special about it, in fact it was dry and the zucchini was soggy. The steak burrito was good enough. We got there, there was only one person eating, took our order, they had 2 pick ups to go and there was only 3 people in this diner the whole time including us, but I wondered why it took almost 30 minutes for our food to get on our table. When I started eating my steak burrito, it was hardly even warm. Chicken cutlet was so dry as well. read more

Tried this place two days ago and loved the ambience...a small town diner in the heart of the valley where eveyone knows your name. Eggs were perfect over easy as ordered. Home fried potatoes (which I usually hate) were great. Great fun service but the rye toast (only complaint) was bad...need a new bakery supplier...tasted like wonderbread. Will go back again read more

I have discovered another Valley hole in the wall. Fast and smiley service. Chix and chips! So i was feeling stir crazy while working at the home office when i decided to go for a ride and grab some grub. While being indecisive I mozied by this place and did a quick U-turn. from the outside this place looked like a typical hamburber joint but once inside you will find there is an old fashion counter, several booths and a few tables. The walls are adorn with food pictures that may or may not turn you on. I was not there for more than 30 seconds when the pretty girl/server came to my table ready to take my order. I could not think that fast so I sent her away with my drink order. She was back in a lickity split and took my food order - Chik and Chips - or better yet hand dipped bread batter chicken strips. They must of been handmade as they did not have that typical hole in the wall deep fried flavor - which is probably a good thing. In the end, I liked the quanitity - must have been 7 strips and the flavor was unique. I found myself salting them for extra flavor and using alot of ketchup and ranch dressing to boost the seasoning. Were they the best chicken strips I have ever tasted? No - but that may be because they were not frozen so I like that. The fries were decent and the hamburgers on the wall (Photos) did not look half bad. After lunch I walked around the corner shops and discovered a cool deli sandwich liquor store, a remote control hobby store and a little chinese restaurant. I would of never thought so much could be crammed into one tiny old shopping block. I think this place could be promising. I liked the vibe - the little blonde waitress was cute and quick and the people there all seemed to be enjoying themselves. I have to go back for a burger and for their breakfeast! read more

Zigs has become our favorite breakfast spot. It's walking distance from our home so we take our doggie with us and sit out in the patio. The food is yummy and the staff is friendly. Still have not had a chance to try their BBQ on the weekend but hope to try it soon! read more
