This place is really good. At the corner of Sunset and Fairfax. I want to start with the parking - which can be tough in Los Angeles. There's 2 hours of validated free parking behind the drugstore directly next door! Yay! Once inside the restaurant, it is a loud, busy room that seems to be out of control but which... More

If you have a " cheat day" from your otherwise healthy eating gym- going lifestyle, this is definitely the place to go to blow your calories for the day! Famous for their super sized custom waffles, pancakes and egg dishes, The Griddle Cafe does not disappoint. Service was surprisingly good for West Hollywood, considering the packed house. Whether you are... More

I read so many consistent fabulous reviews on this casual eatery from both Trip Advisor and Yelp! Finally made it here today for brunch. The Golden Ticket OVERDELIVERED, beyond the amazing reviews!!! Hands down, the BEST pastry/dessert/pancake combo I have ever had anywhere, even amongst all the ritzy 5 star hotel breakfasts at Four Seasons, St. Regis, or Ritz Carlton.... More

My mom and I went to this restaurant for breakfast since it was close to our hotel and had received good reviews. Boy was I pleasantly surprised when I walked in to a packed restaurant on a Monday morning, being seated very quickly, having a very nice waiter, great coffee, and OMG the breakfast! My mom ordered the Yellow Brick... More

One word... SPLIT!~ the plates are huge and we, as a family of four, split two items and left some on the plates!!! Bit of a wait ,so be prepared.. Be sure and go inside to put your name on the list. We had the streusel pancakes , along with the hunger pains, eggs etc... I want to drive back... More

This place serves delicious, inventive, HUGE pancakes! They also have french press coffee and more. To give you an idea of how BIG the portions are, 1 order of pancakes could easily serve 4 people. When I have gone there, I leave satisfied with leftovers for myself or for any homeless I find along the way. Because this place is... More

The epic queue is worth waiting in for the HUGE breakfasts and in particular the red velvet pancakes... delicious. The manage the queue pretty well though, so we ended up waiting around 30 mins for a table, which I don't think is that bad. Only downside is that you have to wait on the street, but hey, it's worth it!... More

Yum! BIG pancakes (order 1 or 2 rather than the full stack of 3 - you will still be full!) that are delicious. We had chocolate chip, blueberry and old fashion. Everyone was completely satisfied. We got there about 9:30am on a Sunday and found a long line, but they manage the line very efficiently and we were inside in... More

This little place was so jammed but now I completely understand why. The charming little cafe boasts of booths and tables and jars of syrup that have you liking your chops before the food even gets to you. The t.v. plays cartoons from my childhood reminicent of Saturday mornings. SHARE THE PANCAKES! the portions were huge!!! but well worth it,... More

This place is ridiculous... Had the Golden Ticket and seriously needed to be rolled out in a cart. I would recommend getting 2 or 1 pancake instead of the full 3 (you can ask your server for this). Also their homemade chips are delicious (my husband got a breakfast burrito). The only reason I didn't give it the highest rating... More
