My friends and I visited last weekend for brunch with a very large group (we've also been to the original in LA). The wait was long to get in, and they don't take reservations. However....
The food was just fantastic and worth the wait. The pancake portions are HUGE- all of the pancakes come three to an order, and each one is the size of a steering wheel. Four of us could not finish the sow your oats pancake. Also, their non-breakfast items are just as good as the breakfast items. These are tried and true items that you can't go wrong with:
- Sow Your Oats Pancakes
-Noisella French Toast (it's nutella battered french toast stuffed with nutella).
- BBQ Chicken Tacos (they're called the "sunset hipster tacos" on the menu, which makes no sense, but they come with homemade tortilla chips that are fresh out of the fryer. I liked the chips more than I liked the pancakes even)
- Tequila Sunrise
-Scotch on the rocks (butterscotch pancakes)
- Wine and Cheese on Sunset Salad (huge chunks of blue cheese and avocado)
The ONLY thing I didn't like was the coffee- I wanted an iced coffee, and a friend at the same table wanted a hot coffee. So they brought us out one large french press with hot coffee, and I got a large cup of ice. So I had lukewarm coffee instead of iced, because ice melts... Also, they charged us $5 EACH for coffee, even though we shared one french press.
