Join the waitlist early or be prepared to wait a long wait. But even so, the wait is worth it. The food is phenomenal and comforting. The vibe is welcoming and fun. I will be back on my next Los Angeles visit!

  This was the best breakfast I had in LA. I got the salmon croquettes with potato’s and egg and OMGG it was so good. The servers were really nice and it was I love how it’s a family owned restaurant.

  Food was good had waffle with bacon and Mac and cheese with yams . Has a sunset drink. Service was great.

  Very good breakfast nice atmosphere very friendly people. I would recommend the serving spoon for breakfast.

  Serving spoon is my go-to spot when I need my soul food fix. The family atmosphere, the amazing service, the music…feels like home every time!! You need to come here.

  My new favorite place for classic down home breakfast/brunch. I knew it was real love when I spotted the seasoned salt on the table. Service with all smiles. Seriously, the entire staff is nice. Even the security greets you with a smile. Food is consistent and appreciate the appropriate prices! They will make adjustments or customize your order so you are satisfied! And I have been 3/3 times so far. The ambiance is so cute, old school feel of the counter diner with booths. It is an older establishment but very clean place. Leave your bougie at home. No reservations, But you can join the Yelp waitlist. There is a free lot and plenty of free street parking.

THE FOOD:
Breakfast burro – hella big and filling. My niece only finished half.

Fish and grits – first off, this is a southern thing so I was super excited to see it on the menu. And they did not disappoint. I do prefer the red snapper, but the catfish was not bad.

Chicken and waffles – nothing out of the ordinary, if you’re craving it you’ll be satisfied but nothing to get excited about. But the warm syrup tho!

Shrimp and grits – now I don’t know WHO said it was okay to put brown gravy on grits , but baby, I was THOROUGHLY surprised at how good it was. LOADED with shrimp and cheese. I couldn’t finish it.

French Toast – Simple and good. But the warm syrup tho!

Mac and cheese – solid

Sunrise drink is my fave.

  Mouthwatering- Delicious! So many options! Yams were amazing- could have eating so much more so will definitely go back- Great service!

  Yummmmmm! Excellent homemade-quality food with ample portions! Excellent southern flavors!!!

  This place here was a treat! So happy we stopped here before leaving. The bacon was cooked just the way I like it and the grits had the right consistency. I definitely will be back. The staff was nice. Very small establishment, so be prepared to wait. You can join the waitlist on Yelp ahead of time.

  Parking Lot-Shopping structure so it’s limited parking in a strip mall but, it’s plenty of street parking.
Food~It was absolutely delicious it was piping hot, fresh, and it smelted amazing! We maybe waited about 10 minutes and I food was out the kitchen in front of us.
Customer Service~it was A~1 a few different waiters check on us throughout our meal to make sure we had what we needed and, how our meal was. We met the owner Warren he has been in business and, in this particular location since 1978 serviced several presidents, congress, and celebrities.
Ambiance~It very family vibe going on, it has plenty of seating, and a courter seating area facing the kitchen so we can watch the cooks! It’s a lot of pictures of the walls of everyone famous person that has visited their establishment over the years. It’s music playing at ear level but, you still able to hold a conversation at your table. I would recommend giving it a try it’s one of the best places I’ve ever had breakfast!!!
