Best Avocado Mushroom Burger EVERRRRR!!!!!!!!! The fried Zuchini it's also great. Everything it's good there but those two are my favorite. read more

Stavros, the owner of Zig's posted a comment to my original review last week, and I decided to pop in and give them another look-see today. Well, let's give them credit, the place looks somewhat better than when I was there 18 months ago. The big stained ceiling tiles have been replaced. there is still a little evidence of roof leakage, but nowhere near as bad as before. The planters still look out of place, but to be honest, I don't know what the fix is for those things either. And best of all, they no longer permit smoking on the very enclosed patio. They have signs showing they comply with the new LA law, and the pace no longer smells of secondhand smoke. My visit was about 1015 am, and as you might expect at that odd hour for a meal, the place was mostly empty. I ordered a chili size, and actually was quite pleased. They use a fresh chili with cheddar and onions over 2 hamburger patties and a toasted roll. It was actually one of the best I had had in a long time. The chili was homemade, and my only complaint was a small one. I actually came across a bay leaf concealed in my meal. At least that proved it wasn't chili from a can. Service was a whole 'nother thing though. Both of the other parties were finishing up as I ordered, and my waitress saw this as "break-time". She was more concerned with texting and watching the TV that plays over the counter seating. I felt like I was interrupting when I wanted a refill and the check. To Stavros credit, he noticed the problem from his spot in the kitchen and pointed it out to her before I needed to complain. read more

Ton on a bun, great. Sorry it closes at 3:00. Haven't tried other items. Restaurant was friendly when I came before pandemic.

We've been going to Zigs for ages now. Over 10 years since my last review and we're still regulars. The staff is friendly, and they honestly helped my family keep some sanity through the pandemic. read more

Love this little spot! The menu is massive, the food is always delicious, the prices are super reasonable, and the staff is incredibly nice and helpful. So glad they're doing takeout now too! read more

Love this place! Best breakfast & burgers in town!amazing service too. Great for families or just a quick bite!

Loved the fried zucchini - and the "local" ambience. New owners are very friendly - my kids are demanding to go back! We plan on being regulars here! read more

Nice mom and pops place to come to. Service is super friendly and good is fresh and delicious. Lots of parking which is great

Most Sunday, I yelped for a place to take the family for brunch, and I happened to chance upon Zig's. My husband were feeling ravenous while waiting for me to decide on a place, to the point of just pulling up into a little hole in the wall I found with high ratings. We had the back patio all to ourself because the inside were crammed with patrons meaning its a "popular joint". We proceeded in ordering the garlic fries, buffalo wings, tuna salad, a burger, fish tacos, chicken strips, grilled cheese sandwich, and pancakes. We all agreed that the food was made with quality. The service were wonderful!! read more

It looks like a real dive, but don't let that scare you away. Zig's has a huge menu, excellent food and it's reasonably priced. It's small and a bit warm inside, but service was good and so we give Zig's five stars. It's good! read more

moved to reseda about a year and a half ago and had been searching for a comfort spot for a while. found it! this kind of cooking is the kind that feels like your aunt made it. so comforting, really real good food. it's also such a home like vibe. the servers are always very helpful and with a good attitude. prefer this over any other breakfast spot in the area. read more

I love Zig's! I don't as often but all times I've gone I've had a great experience with the service and the food. Fish tacos are the best just ask for extra lemon ! read more

Zig's is my go-to breakfast restaurant in the central San Fernando Valley. The prices are nearly half that of comparable eateries such as Crave Cafe on Ventura. This allows you to leave the waitresses better tips. Typically a large breakfast for two doesn't cost more than $25 + tip vs Crave which will usually be around $40 + tip. The waitresses are friendly and are always willing to get you what you need. The best part about Zig's is that it's a true neighborhood family Diner. Staff remembers repeat customers, even knowing their names and what their favorite meals are. The location isn't the most upscale or well kept but the food makes up for everything. The crepes and breakfast burritos are absolutely delicious. Everything tastes fresh and flavorful. read more

Love this place! It's so cozy and the food is very delicious. I came there twice with my family and we'll definitely be coming back. The staff is very friendly and it looks like they know most of the people coming. read more

Went here to try their weekend bbq. We ordered their brisket to go. I felt like it was a little pricey, but the meat itself was ok. Not the best brisket I've ever had. I'd like to come back for their breakfast. read more

I have never been to a restaurant where the employees are such a disappointment, except the cook. Thank you sir, food was great. As for the 3 female employees, manager you need to clean house! Start with the older woman first, apparently she is much smarter than you. ( from what your customers had to listen to over and over) she's a bad apple and ruining the bunch. Just standing there bitching they don't have a much hours and that you need to "bring back Friday & Saturday nights". Don't! Hire people who show great service and just don't hide in the corner IGNORING paying customers. Saw the woman with colored hair walk up and pour chocolate sauce on this gentleman's crepe ( without asking). Um.... no! She would have lost that hand. The place needs cleaning- obviously the girls are too busy to pick up a rag or broom. This experience was like being in middle school again, grow up and do your jobs ladies or leave. Manager- feel free to call me. There's is much more. read more

Zig's is a local classic in this area, and there are not many left. The menu is typical comfort food fare. Nothing will blow your socks off, but it's all well-made with quality ingredients. I have had the huevos rancheros, Biscuits and Gravy and Redneck Benedict. It's all reliably good (but nothing you want to write Guy Fieri about.) The horseshoe counter is a fun place to sit if you enjoy joining in the conversations that spontaneously happen (but check your politically correct ego at the door, as all opinions are shared.) There is WiFi, but no one knows the password. read more

Zig's Restaurant - BAG breakfast - American Near Me - Reseda, California

Food service is quick and fresh. Depending on day and shift you can have a pleasant experience or unpleasant one. constantly requesting everything from the staff as they do not come to check on you. Like the food prices and choices just wished service would improve a bit. read more

Zig's Restaurant - It feels like an oldie but goody little diner, small and cozy. Variety of a menu from burgers to meatloaf. - American Near Me - Reseda, California

It was our first time coming to Zig's, i've seen their facebook ad & been trying to come for months, until now i got the chance. At first we didnt know if they were gonna seat us or we seat ourselves, so we sat ourselves. I wish they would be more welcoming & would greet us properly, but oh well. Now as for the food, we got Crepes All Day Breakfast, & to be honest it was pretty good, for the price it was well worth it. The only reccomendation i'd give would be to add a bit more nutella as it was hard to taste it. I also asked her for a milkshake, but they ran out. :( Overall, it a great place for a date & would definitely come back in the future! read more

First time at Zig's recently with my brother. Loved it! Chicken fried steak was great! Really good sausage gravy on it! If you're looking for a low-key quiet diner with really good food try Zig's! read more

Cozy. Service is fast, food comes in good portions for the price. Overall a good dinner joint to come if you want a chill breakfast.

Food is delicious and really hit the spot after a night of drinking. I got the Spanish omelet and it was so good! Portions are super generous and a great deal for the price. My wife got the 2x2x2 with the crepes and she loved it! We didn't talk the whole time we were scarfing down. This is a bomb ass diner and will be my new go-to breakfast spot! read more

Great, inexpensive breakfast! Jammed every Sunday morning with good reason. I usually have the "lean breakfast" --- eggs well-prepared, good sausage, seasonal fruit. If you're looking for atmosphere, though, this is just a good diner--nothing fancy or even updated. For elegance look elsewhere. read more

Great place. Lots of items to choose from. Burgers, Bullet, Ton on a bun, fried Zuchini. Been coming here since 1988. Changed owners a few years back. Seems mostly the same as far as the food goes. The service? Well, we have been here twice in the last 3 months. The young girl that waited on us was very sweet. She really tried hard. But, she never came back to us after the food was there and she made a mistake on my wife's meal both times. She was very nice, but she's no Stacy! I hope she gets a little better. read more

It was my first time eating at this restaurant, as I always see it across the donation center, and I can say that I'm very satisfied with my experience being here The waitresses are so nice, the customer service is great and the food is amazing! Classic Diner Atmosphere! Highly recommended place here in the Valley :) read more

I have been coming here for several years. GAIL is amazing! She is always so kind and warm to talk to. The food is good and I recommend trying them for breakfast. read more

Horrible service, my boyfriend and I went for bfast. Sat Dow. At 11am(I remember) it was 11.35 when we still didn't get our food and noticed people who sat after us got their food first. When we said something the waitress didn't apologize and told us we had to wait longer. Whoever is the OWNER OR MANAGER needs to properly trained. read more

I stopped coming here for the last two years. The quality of the food has gone down considerably. The service has been slow and the waitress are rather unfriendly. The bathrooms look like they haven't been cleaned in years and are absolutely filthy and completely disgusting. I will not be back. read more

I love eating breakfast at zigs. My family and I go all the time. The staff is always friendly Amy & Gayle are usually there during the week. read more

Zig's Restaurant - pancakes with a side of poached eggs. - American Near Me - Reseda, California

This place has great food! Too bad it's only open from 0700 to 1600. Since I work, I can only visit on weekends.

I love this lunch spot. It's always great and the staff is super friendly. They always include some ranch to dip my fries in, which is a really nice touch. More places should do that imho. Anyway. I love Zig's. read more

Love this place. Greasy spoon type place like I remember in NJ. Eggs Benedict rocks and service is always excellent with a smile and personality. Mickey Mouse pancakes will always light up my daughter's eyes. A definite gem in Reseda! read more

found this place through an ad in Kapitbahay SFV News (a local Filipino paper). Tasty, hearty, homestyle American fare. The place needs some fixing up but the new owner is very friendly and regularly introduces himself to the clientele. Food is really good! Loved the Eggs Benedict, talk about a satisfying breakfast! Really hit the spot. Service can be hit or miss, the waitresses probably need some basic customer sevice coaching. The place is bright- too bright at times, they need some blinds as the windshields of cars parked outside reflect almost lethally-blinding rays as you sit there trying to desperately read your monitor. But enough of the trivial. The food is great. They do breakfast right. Go. read more

Zig's Restaurant - The new grilled salmon plate at Zig's... goin' a bit upscale here... - American Near Me - Reseda, California

After moving 2 blocks away 3.5 years ago, my husband and I finally came here for Sunday breakfast. The delay was due to the very dated and faded exterior. For the longest time we thought it was closed. I'm happy to say that we have a good place for breakfast walking distance from home. I had bacon and eggs with country potatoes. I liked it all except the potatoes. Other reviewers loved them, but I'll have the hash browns next time. This is good, friendly place for breakfast and probably lunch. read more

My daily breakfast/lunch stop now. By far the best I've found in both West LA and the SFV. Breakfast potatoes with garlic and spices? Don't mind if I do. Fresh blueberries in the pancakes? Yes please. Oh and it's all absolutely unbeatable in price. I mean seriously you can't beat it. Also let's not forget the awesome locals who hang out there every day. They're the best and the icing on the awesome cake that is Zig's. If you haven't been, you're seriously missing out. I can't recommend this place enough! read more

Food, selection, variety, and price... just right. Waffles, crepe, breakfast or lunch, even dinner items are off the hook. They open at 7. It's 716. No one is here but the cook. My past two experiences is the reason why I came back here. I have no idea what's going on but there are 8 of us waiting to be fed. Even the cook was calling the servers. ... This isn't how you run a business. As much as I like this place, they're about to lose a customer and more. It's 718. Still no one. A usual served us coffee. My daughter is starving. Yeaup. Not coming back here unless the owner owns up to this. read more

I wrote the BEST review but Yelp deleted it! In short, this place is WILDLY inconsistent, both in terms of food and service. Buffalo wings were a TOTAL ripoff: 4 drumettes for $7!!! Good when it's good, lame when it's not. Do you REALLY wanna take those chances? read more

Since we've got plenty of space in this block, and I've subsequently referred to this place in a review for a Lafayette, CA (of all places) restaurant, allow me to add another non-sandwich highlight of Zig's: Greek salad. It's an abundantly assembled bowl containing all of the requisite ingredients, more than enough to share with another if you prefer. Zig's is one of several hamburger stands in the Van Nuys, Reseda area that is Greek- and Middle Eastern-influenced. Soon I will evaluate the Greek salad at Panos Char Broiler at Victory and Woodley, which I've patronized since...no--NOOOO!...I just can't tell you! While you're waiting, look at the bar graph in Panos' profile. It might behoove you to beat me to the punch here. read more

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
