John O' Groats - Los Angeles, California

Second time visiting this location. 1st time it was a To-Go order but decided to come back.
Both times you are greeted with a Smile and Welcoming attitude.
The staff is Super Friendly. I honestly experienced a Family gathering.
The waitress remember us from our To-Go order. Weeks have passed and even remembered where we sat to wait.
I ordered Señor Donn's Latino Heat. Maybe I didn't like because I even licked my plate. Very tasty with a little hit. The biscuit with thei Jelly, well, your mouth is in Heaven

Finally made this institution on Pico for breakfast. Immediate impression was I loved the atmosphere - the local and family feeling is palpable . Many customers are greeted by their first names and the staff were cheery throughout despite constant crowds arriving. And then!!! The "famous' biscuits arrived (with our mini breakfasts). "Biscuits from heaven" is an understatement. My cheese and scallion biscuit was phenomenal as was my husbands plain one, that I had a bite from with butter an jam. Just yum. How anyone can eat the two biscuits you get, I don't know? But we were very happy to take these home. Thank you Paul and team for my best L.A breakfast experience in quite some time.

Food is pretty good, but the service left a LOT to be desired. Considering the price of the food and the terrible service, I would not recommend eating here. Biscuits were underdone. We had to practically beg for coffee and cream. Waitress was hardly around. Forgot toast for one of the table members. Nobody pre-bussed the tables so we were staring at dirty plates long after we were done eating. Just a lot of things that service needs to improve on. Sundays are always busy, but maybe they need more staff so that servers can adequately service the tables. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Wow! What an amazing restaurant. Gluten Free biscuits and pancakes!!

From the momment you walk in you are not only greeted warmly but the whole atmosphere feels like your home with friends and family eating a delicious affordable breakfast.

This is a must if you are in the LA area.

Four stars because the scrambled eggs were dry and overcooked.
We arrived at 9am on a Saturday and we were seated immediately. This is a quaint breakfast and lunch place which started in the 1980s and now their son has taken over. The menu has a very nice story of this family who started John O'Groats. I love that!

The decor is blue and white, homey kitchen, nothing fancy, but cute!

The staff here worked hard. They were busy, but we needed to ask for another set of silverware twice. I needed to ask for a refill on my water. The owner was overseeing everyone and everything, but smiled when I asked if he was the owner, which was a nice touch. I am so glad this family owned restaurant survived the pandemic.

Their bisquits are crumbly, warm and yummy, especially with their strawberry jam and butter.

My Dector Special has artichoke, shitake mushrooms, goat cheese and ground beef and it was a dry and overcooked. The portion was generous, but the ingredients needed to be chopped down a bit for bite size. My friend ordered the Baxter which was tasty, but her scrambled eggs were dry and hard too. My other friend created her own omelette and she said it was yummy!

Overall, everything was fine. The atmosphere, nostalgic, the staff worked well together and were attentive. There is a TAKE OUT area which was very busy!

Traveling from the East Coast, I found John O’Groats as a good fuel up spot for our day of traveling and was very very satisfied. We sat outside on their patio in gorgeous weather and had a very delicious breakfast to start our day. Their fresh juices and mimosas were great, and the food was even better! We got their pancakes, egg white breakfast, fried chicken, and famous biscuit- we left with full stomachs and happy taste buds. Service was amazing and the owner himself was friendly and welcoming. Would definitely recommend for travelers and locals alike as the perfect place for breakfast and brunch

One of those forever spots... It seems to get better with age which is quite a feat since the last time I ate here was in the 90s.
