The Griddle is the absolute best! Atmosphere is popping and the music is such a party vibe. We went as a group and just had the most lovely time. We ordered so many favorites - Not so secret French Toast is my personal joy but the kids loved the Berry Yellow pancakes, Banana Nana, and some crazy Nutella awesome French toast. You should have seen their eyes when the plates came to the table … all smiles.

I don’t usually leave negative reviews—especially when the service is good—but I feel I owe this one to people considering a visit. I hadn’t had sugar in nearly three months due to a very aggressive cut, so I was genuinely craving something indulgent. That’s what brought me to The Griddle. The service itself was good, though not exceptional enough to compensate for the food, which unfortunately was quite bland. I ordered scrambled eggs, the Fruity Pebbles French toast, and the Black Magic pancake (filled with Oreos). I was especially excited for the Fruity Pebbles French toast, but it fell noticeably short of expectations—it tasted just alright, nothing special or memorable. The Oreo pancake was disappointing as well, coming off somewhat undercooked. The only consistently solid item was the scrambled eggs, which, in my opinion, are hard to mess up. While I understand that paid parking is part of dining in a big city, discovering that parking was no longer free—didn’t help the overall experience. Overall, there are far better breakfast options in the area. This is one of those places where presentation clearly beats flavor.

This place screams: ♡Hollywood♡ The portions are HUGE! And the dishes are delicious! There is always a nice waitress ready to serve you and the atmosphere is incredible. Ideal for brunch or a breakfast date. Do not underestimate the size of the sweets! Important: Pay your Park Meter!!!! Cops are always checking them!! 10/10 Hands down the best breakfast in town.

Was able to get seated with no wait; restaurant has a nice setup with regular tables as well as an almost hibachi style diner setup with a nice view into the kitchen. Ordered the ‘Hash it Out’ dish - diced potatoes, ground turkey, over-medium eggs, cheese and garlic bread with hot sauce on the side. By itself the dish was average but the hot sauce helped add flavour to it. Waitress was well mannered and always had a smile on her face which was nice. Solid spot!
