Big Pancakes, Long Wait
The Griddle Cafe is a scene. As the name suggests, pancakes in particular and breakfast in general is the specialty. It's been open a few years so the service and food are generally good. Although the majority of its patrons are hip Sunset Strippers trying to look cool while they spill out into the street on tables in front of Rite Aid, there are a few families. If you get there early enough, the Griddle is a lot of fun for kids. The menu has a wide variety of pancakes, sausage and other breakfast food. The major drawback to the good food is that the mob of people sometimes makes it difficult to park. The lot behind Rite Aid is shared with the Griddle, so there is not a lot of space after breakfast starts.

IHOP’s got nothing on the Griddle Café. Its generous portions and sugary sweet selection of breakfast goodies make the usually long wait for a table worthwhile. The kitchen should perhaps leave waffles to The Waffle, but the pancakes and the French toast are unsurpassed. Standouts include the “Saturday Morning Fever,” which mixes Bailey’s and Kahlua into the buttermilk pancake batter, and the...

A barrage of imagery: Bedhead, pancakes, Rite-Aid lot, weekend lines, strawberries-and-cream waffles, artfully greasy denim, apple-cobbler French toast, vintage T-shirts, hoagie omelets, chili, oversized sunglasses, grilled shrimp and tomato melt. The portions are ginormous no matter the order.

Servings are gargantuan (the famous pancakes spill over the plates), so arrive hungry or plan on splitting with friends.

Servings are gargantuan. If you don't plan on accessorizing with white Styrofoam, then splitting with friends is wise.
When to Go

On Saturdays and Sundays, there's always a line by 10am. Shoot for 9am if you want to glide straight to a table.
Editorial Reviews from the web
This cozy cafe fuels the industry by serving Hollywood hopefuls whimsical diner fare.

In Short In the shadow of the Director's Guild, this popular hole-in-the-wall is filled with hungry Hollywood types hoping to make the cut for the "next major blockbuster." The U-shaped bar is perfect for James Dean-type loners looking to get their big break. A mile-long menu describes American classics with kindergarten twists. Flapjacks dotted with rainbow sprinkles,...

Hoagie omelets and pancakes so gargantuan you feel Honey might have shrunk us kids. Chocolate chip chili! Bloody Sake is hair-of-the-dog for cutie-pie first-night standers. The kind that don't go away in the morning. Dingy diner has bigger line than the club that got these kids hung-over in the first place. Breakfast burrito could feed an Inuit village for weeks; your stoned roommate one day....

Best French Toast in town!

French Toast lovers... this is the place for you!
They have an array of French Toast options from the decadent to the just plain wacky.
The also serve French press coffee right at your table, which is a nice touch. Host is usually very friendly, service tends to be pretty decent as well considering how fast paced the environment can be.
Yum.

Im not sure what all the hype is about the restairant. I do see people lined up on the weekends. Ive gone twice. The dishes are definitely filled with good portions of food. Pancakes were okay. But the Huevos Rancheros were not my cup of tea. Not a totally bad place but didnt leave me wanting to go back either. Oh, and its packed with people on the weekends.

+ its not totally bad.

Delicious pancakes the size of the plate

I've been twice. First time sat at a table. Second time at the bar. Glad I went both times. Second time my girlfriend and I spent more time visiting with people around us which added to the fun and interest of the place. Unfortunately I realized afterwards that I had been overcharged and I wasn't happy about that. Could have been a mistake on their part, could have been deliberate. The...
