In Short – In the shadow of the Director's Guild, this popular hole-in-the-wall is filled with hungry Hollywood types hoping to make the cut for the "next major blockbuster." The U-shaped bar is perfect for James Dean-type loners looking to get their big break. A mile-long menu describes American classics with kindergarten twists. Flapjacks dotted with rainbow sprinkles, larger-than-life French toast and the Griddlewich--a peanut butter, strawberry jam and chocolate-covered banana sandwich. Breakfast plays the leading role: Power up with the Caballero, a breakfast burrito with eggs,…

Best French Toast in town!
by sherryimportante at Citysearch
French Toast lovers... this is the place for you!
They have an array of French Toast options from the decadent to the just plain wacky.
The also serve French press coffee right at your table, which is a nice touch. Host is usually very friendly, service tends to be pretty decent as well considering how fast paced the environment can be.
Yum.
- Pros: cozy diner atmosphere, something for everyone, good portions
- Cons: cozy diner atmosphere

not sure what all the hype is about.

Im not sure what all the hype is about the restairant. I do see people lined up on the weekends. Ive gone twice. The dishes are definitely filled with good portions of food. Pancakes were okay. But the Huevos Rancheros were not my cup of tea. Not a totally bad place but didnt leave me wanting to go back either. Oh, and its packed with people on the weekends.
- Pros: its not totally bad.
- Cons: mediocre food.

Delicious pancakes the size of the plate
by RGirard at Citysearch
I've been twice. First time sat at a table. Second time at the bar. Glad I went both times. Second time my girlfriend and I spent more time visiting with people around us which added to the fun and interest of the place. Unfortunately I realized afterwards that I had been overcharged and I wasn't happy about that. Could have been a mistake on their part, could have been deliberate. The guy who sat us was cool, but the guy serving us was rather unemotional. I'll be more careful next time and I suggest you be careful too unless you don't care about that sort of thing. Maybe he had already added in his tip? It was a party of 2. Still I recommend it for what it is and that's a great place in Hollywood to have a big meal that could be two meals if you take home your leftovers. I met a couple of guys from another country, I guy I'd seen on tv and movies, and this one girl I wish I had spoken to because I still can't remember what show I remember her from. Oh well, I'm going back next time I'm in town. Maybe she'll be there again.
- Pros: Good food, some portions huge, might see a "star"
- Cons: Be careful on the price and what you are charged
