A must-stop on the way towards LAX, Pann’s is a Googie delight. Though they’re no longer 24 hours, sitting down to a thick mug of black coffee and a plate of eggs is still a highlight. Read more

$6 bottomless mimosa brunch. LA legendary coffee shop with southern focused breakfast food. Everyone loves the chicken and waffles but the the chicken fried steak is the real hidden gem.
Lee SimpsonSeptember 30, 2017
I’ve tried all the fried chicken in the area and this is by far the best. Always a line, but well worth the wait.

The menu and the hospitality feel Southern. You can get po' boys, catfish or andouille sausage, but we like the chicken and waffles and biscuits. Read more

Pann's is the place to go should you happen to find yourself in the vicinity of Ladera Heights. If you do manage to get yourself up and out of bed, the staff is cheery and attentive Read more

The best example of exuberant post-WWII Googie coffee shop architecture left in LA. Exemplary inside and out. And it's not just a feast for the eyes -- great chicken and waffle brunch on weekends.

Cool retro diner - right out of the 50s - friendly service. Great biscuits. Omelet was pretty good as well. Prices reasonable.

"Bottomless" mimosa. Still worth the price cuz it includes cranberry or OJ w/champagne, bloody mary... Limited refills. Don't want you bein Bill Brasky! If Donna is there, she'll keep your food warm.

Bacon. Eggs. Chicken wings. Hash browns. AWES0ME!!! Staff is super friendly and the food is great. The 1950's ambience is worth every penny.

I dream about the chicken salad sandwich! Great food and great staff, it's worth the wait when there is one and you can't beat the champagne brunch!

The first thing you notice about Pann's is its movie-star looks. Pann's has served as a film location, but not for the one you're thinking of. It's a dead-ringer for the coffee shop in Pulp Fiction. Read more

As always, the food was delish. I've been coming here since I was little. It's a great place to go and eat and chat. Their chicken wings are VERY GOOD!
Stephanie DAugust 28, 2014
Their corned beef hash is simple, hearty comfort food. Love sitting at the bar! Great place to head for a bite after leaving LAX.
Hanna AvlasSeptember 24, 2022
Real American breakfast in vibrant retro ambiance. 🍳☕️ Totally loved it 🤩

Opened 1958. Iconic family-owned Googie diner with vintage interior and neon sign.
Chris SSeptember 23, 2016
Used to be the best waffles in the world, until the health department told them they're not allowed to serve melted butter and syrup anymore. Still good but no longer amazing

Best fried chicken wings in LA. Don't let anyone else fool you. Give it a try if you have the chance!
MilesFebruary 18, 2016
For breakfast: Pann’s Belgian waffle and wings, Uncle Bud’s Mississippi cheese eggs, grits, super deluxe Oreo shake.

Such a cool place, areal authentic diner. Great waffles and pancakes

Iconic coffee shop. Excellent waffles with melted butter. Sister restaurant to the one in Pulp Fiction (now demolished).
Ingrid JensenJanuary 6, 2013
The tuna melt here is the best I've ever had in my life... Of all the Tuna melts I've ever had!

The country biscuit is flown in from Alabama daily. Jk. But it is made in house daily and tastes lovely
Lauren DelfinoJune 1, 2015
Great food! Biscuits are good but very filling. My husband loved the chicken fried steak.

The waffles are NOT better than Roscoe's, just different. Both places are delicious, including the waffles and fried chicken.
Scott CargleFebruary 10, 2014
Order the bread pudding early. They don't have microwave and heat it in a conventional oven. And its worth the wait.
iSalmanNovember 9, 2019
Good food, great ambience and vibes
Jon BerryFebruary 7, 2011
an amazing example of well-preserved Googie architecture - plus great food and friendly service. (try the chicken wings and waffles!)
Robb PadgettAugust 5, 2014
This place is great! And the best thing about it is the people that work here. The friendliest people in the restaurant business.
Kian LaviMay 16, 2017
Oh man those fried chicken and waffles. Kicking myself for never going to this LA classic earlier in life
M GonzalezMarch 6, 2018
Pulp Fiction was filmed here for a reason

Louisiana omelet was good and service was great. Super cool retro diner.

I just had the best Ronnie Shumate just had the best Buffalo Chicken Sandwich >> EVER! Here @ Pann's! Honey bun, onion ring, buffalo sauce, blue cheese dressing buffalo sauce, blue cheese dressing wit
Ross SheingoldSeptember 20, 2014
Get the wings and waffles. No-brainer!
Chris SJanuary 30, 2015
Think about every other diner you've ever been to, and then forget about them. They don't matter anymore. That's how good this place is
StevenApril 22, 2015
Great service, and old school vibe. Only downside is the bathroom.
ClaireApril 21, 2019
Eggs Benedict is amazing and the employees are kind!

Get the Cappuccino Milkshake - totally to die for! Special going on for a while now: $6.00 burger with fries or fried chicken with one side. Your belly will be more than full.
Lauren DelfinoNovember 23, 2014
Chicken fried steak is great!! And bottomless mimosas!!
Molly BendellNovember 25, 2012
Classic decor, great for breakfast. Always stop here before dropping off our guests at LAX.

It's not easy but try to save room for dessert. The Mile High Chocolate Cake is THE BEST chocolate cake in L.A. and a bargain at $3.45 for a huge slice of cake.
Barb FergusonNovember 25, 2013
Cheesy eggs with green onions and homemade buttermilk biscuit. Yum!
AmayaSeptember 2, 2016
If you're looking for a boozy brunch they have a champagne special
FatimahJuly 6, 2014
Chicken fried steak is alright but their chicken and waffles are quite yummy!
Mike NadelmanNovember 24, 2013
Pulp Fiction look a like. Excellent wings n waffles.
Jeremy FisherApril 2, 2015
Diner with a great 50's vibe
Reetesh Y.V.October 4, 2023
Classic diner which was part of many movies. The Cake Shake isn’t really what you’d expect though.
Sienna BrownDecember 9, 2012
Get the biscuit and country gravy. Best I've had since leaving Atlanta.
Crystal WadiAugust 25, 2013
