In Short
Always packed with workers from Sony, this comfort-food haven serves home-cooked favorites fast, friendly and filling the plate. Vintage wall advertisements and ever-present coffee warming on the old-fashioned stove suggest grandma's kitchen--but grandma was never this busy. While healthy diets are accommodated, almost any sandwich can be turned into a melt, and seasoned curly fries and meatloaf are specialties. Pancakes can be customized with crumbled Oreos or corn and Ortega chili.

I saw an article in LA Magazine listing S&W as winner of Best Breakfast and they were absolutely right. I went on a very busy Saturday and I was quoted a wait time of about 10 minutes and was seated in less than five. The service was super friendly and the pancakes were Amazing so was the coffee - beats Starbucks hands-down. The prices can't be beat, this is my new regular place for weekend breakfast. I love that you can get breakfast or lunch at any time. I highly recommend this place for anyone who enjoys great breakfast at great prices and friendly service. It's also close to all the Culver City movie theathers which is convenient.

After politely suggesting to the owner, Michelle that customers would be tended to more efficiently if a host/hostess were hired, she commented that "we've been doing it like this for years." What's she's clearly not aware of is that this restaurant has notoriously bad service, mainly due to the fact that the servers cannot tend to their customers who are seated because they are constantly having to seat people. After suggesting to Michelle that prices can be raised to cover the cost of a full-time host/hostess, she refused to take our order and walked away. I urge people to not dine at S&W until they get their act together...which may be never, because "we've been doing it like this for years."

Small and it's been there forever- Sam and Woody's is always packed and with good reason. Expect to wait for a table at lunch on weekdays or for breakfast/brunch on weekends. It has the feel of a country diner from the decor to the female waitstaff. They only take cash and they do individual bills (great for people who want to split the bill). Large portions of incredibly yummy food (hash browns, hot chocolate, chocolate chips pancakes to name a few things one should try) for CHEAP. Definitely worth the wait.
