Down home cooking in Downtown Culver City

by Sheauen

If you're on a mission to find the best corn beef hash in LA, you can stop looking now.

Come here for their hash and eggs and waffles. Its worth it. Come through their old screen door (yes just like at mama's house), sit down at a table covered in checked tablecloths, and order some good ol country homecooking.

I rotate through their corn beef hash, country fried steak and eggs, biscuits and gravy, and waffles.

While you wait enjoy all the old school knick knachs they've collected on their walls. Old farmhouse pots and pans, untesils, milk jugs, signage, all of it takes you back.

You get all kinds of people at SW, from older couples with their newspapers, college kids and young adults with their puppies, to business men grabbing a bite to eat at the counter before work. I love it!

• Pros: homemade corn beef hash
• Cons: long waits sometimes

Best pancakes and friendliest service in LA!

by LuvCali

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.

• Pros: Ambience, service, food

Terrible service and owner with no customer service knowledge

by jiddle2004

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."
