Food was good, portions were excellent. Service however was HORRIBLE. Initially, we had a hard time getting someone’s attention so we could be seated. We had to ask for coffee and work on getting someone’s attention to let them know we were ready to order. We got there at 9:45, ordered about 10:15 (30 minutes) we got our food at 11:20. We took most of it to go because we didn’t have any more time to give. After getting our food, I still had to wait another 15 minutes for toast. From the time we got there, their overall focus seemed to be on call-in’s and carry out orders. I’m happy for their success , but they were all working on carry outs and no one was attending to dine-in’s . People were sitting and waiting. I did observe that, of all the booths only one booth actually had food.
While we were there we ran into a familiar face and they expressed the same frustration. I’m very supportive of local business, so Im hoping this review will help them examine their dine in service and do better. Oh did I mention, there were no apologies for the poor service, which kind of leads me to believe this is SOP.

We walked in and was greeted by Ms. Melody who is an absolute jewel. She provided amazing service and give some great recommendations. I ordered the fried chicken (5 pieces) breakfast with eggs, home fries and sourdough bread. And thoroughly enjoyed my meal! My daughter (13yrs old) who’s extremely picky ordered the French toast and sausage breakfast with a side of hash browns, and let’s just say I didn’t hear a word while she ate and she’s now taking a nap! Lol My Husband ordered the Red snapper breakfast with eggs, home fries and grits and this food critic had nothing but good words to say about the Snapper’s flavor and how the grits were like mines (that’s a compliment!) Our tab came up to $88. which included a tip. It was definitely worth every dime, from the service, portions and quality. I felt bad for having to change our order at the last minute to a to-go order but again Melody and the staff understood and accommodated our request. Thank you again… I pray many blessings over you all and the business! Unfortunately I can’t provide pictures because we devoured it before I could thick to take them.

I was told Tal’s Cafe has the best pancakes in LA, and they absolutely live up to the hype. The pancakes were fluffy, perfectly cooked, and the butter really set them off. Hands down the best pancakes I’ve had in California. The waitress was amazing and everything is cooked to order, so there is a little wait, but it’s completely worth it. I’ll definitely be back.

We decided to visit Tal’s based on the recommendation from @latryguy. It did not disappoint! Everything was exceptional. Their orange pancakes are memorable. The grits were buttery and delicious. The seasoning on the potatoes was perfection. The portions were large. The service was excellent. It was our first time but we felt right at home. Highly recommend!

Came Christmas morning first time.I pulled a quick turn and stop in.I walked in to family,folk new the staff, sat at the counter Staff right in front of you..I like it old fashioned. The Food made up for some minor fails..Outstanding favor and presentation. had to ask for my coffee 10 minutes after placing my order, beautiful plate, arrives. had to ask a brother to chairs down for ketchup five minutes later the super busy woman in charge to get me some jelly for my toast. I give grace for it all… It was a wonderful place to be my second christmas since my queen went home.

Literally waited for 15 minutes for somebody to acknowledge me and when I ordered they didn’t tell the cook the order so I waited another 15 minutes then just left because I didn’t want to lose my temper. One girl was on the phone the whole time. The other lady was just playing with her gadget.ik embarrassed for them and disappointed
