If getting f'd up with the wife and kids on a Sunday morning sounds like a family activity that interests you... the Overland Cafe is where it?s at.
The food was burnt.
Good service; clean bathrooms
Expensive; stressful environment?
- Pros: bottomless mimosas

Not bad, not great

I have been to Overland Cafe a few times, and each time I say to myself, "Well, that wasn't bad, but it wasn't great." The dishes are tasty but not that memorable. I would definitely rate this place a solid good if the dishes weren't overpriced. However, I will keep going back because it does offer a variety of dishes that's a notch above going to Carrow's or Denny's. I do have to say that I am picky when it comes to my olives, and the ones that come with the Grilled Cafe Chicken are yummy. You will definitely come out of this place feeling full and satisfied with the exception of the price. Service is a tad slow and parking can be difficult.
- Pros: good food
- Cons: pricey, parking
Brunch not to be missed! by Kathryn F. at InsiderPages

I LOVE the Overland Cafe for its weekend champagne brunch. You can't find a better deal, better servers, or better food in the area. For $5 you are treated to UNLIMITED champagne to go along with to-die-for breakfast selections.
The five star rating is for the brunch experience only - unfortunately I've been back a few times for dinner and am sorry to say that it's definitely hit or miss.
However, the servers remember your name and orders which is perfect for a neighborhood-y type place like this one. Parking can be a little hard to find but that's typical in Palms.
Don't delay - champagne brunch FOR LIFE!

Champagne Brunch! Definitely stick to the breakfast items as the lunch and dinner cuisine can be average at best (although the Greek Salad is ok). As mentioned above, definitely spring for the champagne brunch on Saturday/Sunday because really what better way is there to nurse a hangover than with more alcohol...
Great place for breakfast

The breakfast is very good here. Good eggs and good Sunday-morning breakfast type of place. The service is good on some days, not so good on other days.
- Pros: good breakfast food
- Cons: not good diner food
Rip off and then some

The food was worse than mediocre and severely overpriced. I thought the service was good until I happened to look up another purchase on my checking account and found out the waitress charged an unauthorized tip to my check card even though we left her a very generous cash tip! Needless to say, I don't recommend this place. There are so many better options in West LA/Culver City...skip this hellhole.
- Pros: fast service, there's no one there
- Cons: thieving waitstaff, crappy food
Great Brunch

You can't go wrong with brunch at Overland Cafe. Tons of dishes to choose from (all very tasty) and all-you-can-drink champagne (the cheap stuff, of course) for only $4.99 per person.
- Pros: BRUNCH
- Cons: Parking
A variety of great food, cozy setting

They're doing construction in the front, so don't be dismayed if you think you've missed it. Overall we had a great experience and will go back. This is a perfect place to relax and be cozy, while enjoying good food. The room is surrounded by booths, with dark wood tables in the center. There is warm, dark lighting with similarly colored contemporary art. The servers, both british women, were very friendly, helpful and warm. Even called us "loves". Most imporantly- the food- appetizer of tamales- great. They don't make them there, but taste fresh and are quite good (having just returned from South America). I ordered the chicken and grilled vegetable salad, dressing on the side. For my strict diet program, this is the perfect place! Very tasty salad, I will order it again. My friend was recommended to try the Shrimp Pesto Pizza. Sounds odd, but when we ate it- tasted great! Almost as good as Pomodoro pizza, to which we are very loyal. Overall: Great variety, a lovely place to relax but dine well.
- Pros: Quiet ambience, Friendly service, Variety of very good food
- Cons: Parking
Best Burger in Town!

I've frequented Overland Cafe a handful of times, and each visit does not disappoint. On my last visit, I ordered a burger, expecting the usual. And much to my surprise, it was the juiciest, tastiest burger I've had in a long time. The meat was thick and succulent, the cheddar just sharp enough, and the fixing are produce-fresh. Don't miss out on the happy hour either...all appetizers are only $5, and house wine and beer are at a nice price. This place is consistently yummy and an excellent value.
We like this cafe, but it has some drawbacks... by Marty Z. at InsiderPages

We enjoy their baked goods, especially the fresh banana chocolate chip cookies! We have stayed away recently due to several meals where our food took FOREVER to come to the table, but once it arrived it was good..though not great. I will stick to the breakfast menu here from now on, it is more consistent and reliably good. Reasonably priced and welcoming too.
PROS: Good baked items and breakfasts..reasonably priced
CONS: Sometimes service is SLOW especially for lunch & dinner
