You can't go wrong with a Calabama breakfast! The OG sandwich is clutch, and they HAVE to have some of the best biscuits in SoCal. I come all the way from the AV just to get a sandwich and a bunch of biscuits! If you're a breakfast sandwich lover, you HAVE to try this place. Staff is always super friendly, too. Never had a bad experience read more

the best place I've ever been, the owner is the best person I've ever met. I dream of biscuits and pimento cheese. Calabama hot sauce changed my life and gave me a reason to live. read more

As we parked and got out of the car, a very charismatic woman--whom I assume was the owner--greeted us. Genuine interaction goes a long way in my book, and I immediately felt appreciated. We walked up to the order window and received another friendly greeting. We ordered the OG, a biscuit sandwich and a coffee, then went around to the other side and found a place to sit. From our table, we had a full view of the person preparing our sandwiches. Everything was cooked to order. This was not fast-food assembly, and as I watched them prepare our breakfast, I could see the attention being paid to every detail. We ate our sandwiches on the stools just outside the shop. We both loved our breakfast sandwiches, along with their hot sauce. I would happily order either sandwich again. I noticed that several reviewers have commented that the prices are high. I thought the prices were reasonable and in line with what you would expect from a food truck. It costs more than fast food, but the quality and flavor are there. I will definitely be back! read more

YALL... This is irrefutably the best biscuit in LA, likely in California, possibly the entire Western US, and rivals those that I grew up eating in the South!!! It's flaked, hot, buttery, savory, umami, oooo mommy... There is no other place in LA to get a breakfast sandwich. EVERYTHING this place has to offer is immaculate, from their hot sauce to their bacon to their biscuit AND their OG GRILLED SANDWICH!!!! And btw, PLEASE don't ask to change a thing, it is perfection, any alterations would be sacrilege. Chef Cara is not only a culinary genius, but also as kind as she is awesome. Her staff is also top notch, this place is seriously the full experience. YOU MUST TRY Also the hot maple sauce they serve for dipping haunts my dreams. read more

Calabama - Incredible Biscuit Sandwich - Southern Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Service friendliness all 5 ..super nice and this guy brought the coffee out to me when I wasn't approaching the pickup window cause I was distracted amazing service.. I love the little shack vibe the low volume music and it was clean for being in that little corner.... Now the OG sandwich was really good to my liking..the way they perfectly grilled the bread and perfectly portion..glad they don't offer sausage and potatoes cause I would of added a bunch of extras and messed the OG up...im a creature of habit and sometimes it's ok to order it their way. Definitely will come back for the OG... Now I ordered a plain biscuit with butter and an ice cold brew as well and I enjoyed the biscuit...this is definitely not a coffee shop so don't expect to find your variety of coffees..but there wouldn't be anything wrong with a few good blends but if it gonna take away from the food preparation I say stick to breakfast sandwiches .. Ok that red sauce I thought was hot sauce is actually like a sweet sauce ..I dont like sweet flavor on my food that is just me ...but I didn't need the hot sauce it would of killed the flavor of the OG sandwich...but personally not a fan of that sauce they gave me.. Overall the owner is super attentive and is cooking and cleaning and she has that love poured into her breakfast sandwiches and biscuit definitely tasted it..super great location for breakfast.. Stop by read more

I got the OG and it was really good. I took it to go and totally forgot to eat it with the hot sauce. So bummed! I gotta go back and try the biscuit w hot sauce!!! read more

Petite spot with simple menu to choose from. There's few counter-style seats to enjoy your food fresh on the spot, which I thought would certainly be best than take them home. No fancy ambiance, but certainly did the job. Everything cooked fresh to order so do expect 15 minutes wait time. Worth the wait for that perfect fluffy egg. We got the breakfast sandwich and the biscuit, both with extra bacon. The stuffing were kinda similar with egg and cheese plus their sauce, but yes different base. I could tell you they knew what they said when they put on the menu no substitution allowed and they guaranteed you'd love it. Such flawless combo for splurging over brekkie; might sound simple yet so flavorful. The hot sauce just lifted it to the next level with right smokiness, blend of tangy and sweet. Needless to say, those biscuits brought me over the moon LOL. I could imagine myself even eating it with butter and jam (pls don't judge, YMMV). read more

"Lowered by Bucket, Raised to Legend" Now, full disclosure: we waited a beat longer than expected for our order, which was mildly puzzling given the crowd (or rather, the lack thereof). The operation is small, so patience is the price of admission. Think of it less as waiting and more as building anticipation. Gluten-free folks, good news and a caveat: GF options exist, and the staff is transparent about it. But if you're a full celiac-level serious, know that everything shares the same skillet. So take that as you will -- this kitchen isn't playing allergen theater, and that kind of honesty is worth a star on its own. What IS worth every star is the cleanliness of the operation (spotless, truly) and the food, which tastes like someone's Alabama grandmother made a breakfast sandwich for the cover of a magazine. The OG breakfast sandwich; soft eggs, avocado, brown sugar bacon, melty American cheese on butter-griddled white bread... comes cut in half specifically so you can dunk it in the signature smoky-sweet dipping sauce **Chef's kiss**. It's not a detail. It's a philosophy. Worth the wait. Worth the drive. Bring cash. Bring patience. Do not skip the sauce. read more

I saw this place on ig and was tempted to try it out. Growing up in the south I feel like I'm a biscuit connoisseur, so I'll admit I went in kind of skeptical. After checking out the menu, I decided on the bacon egg & cheese biscuit, with the sauce on the side. After trying the biscuit I was blown away! I tried to peek inside to make sure they weren't hiding a southern grandma in the kitchen. The biscuit was just flaky enough and I think I tasted the buttermilk used to make it. The egg was light and fluffy with just the right amount of cheese. So far I've gone back a few times and have not been disappointed. The service was quick and very convenient. It takes 10-15 minutes to get your order, as I watched them cook my egg fresh to order! read more

Calabama - Bacon Egg & Cheese biscuit - Southern Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Great breakfast spot! Heard about this place on insta and had to check it out. Was not disappointed! We got the OG breakfast sandwich and the biscuit breakfast sandwich! Both were amazing but our personal favorite was their biscuits! Also ordered some extra biscuits with their pimento spread (YUM). This brand originally started as hot sauce and we got a bottle of that which is delicious! We usually Uber Eats this place and the food is always still very hot when delivered! Overall really good breakfast place and this has been added into our breakfast rotation! read more

Calabama - Menu as of Nov 2025 - Southern Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Best brekkie sammies in Hollywood! Simple menu, delicious food. Good people making good grub! Been ordering the veg sammie since the bucket days. But the breakfast biscuit is the real MVP. Counter seating outside, small parking lot to eat in your ride, or get take out! read more

As a southerner, I'm always suspicious of places that claim to make a good biscuit. This IS a good biscuit. It is not really a southern biscuit, which is where the "CAL" in the Calabama makes sense. The biscuits we grew up eating in the South aren't this crumbly and well done. But it's certainly a fair representation and maybe a smidge better than one you'll find at any fast food place. I felt the same way about the pimento cheese - it's not bad at all. But if you've spent any time in a real southern home, you won't recognize this almost smooth spread as proper pimento cheese. Still, it has a good kick and made a nice dip. But let's be clear, the influencers filming themselves whilst making moaning noises and slathering hot sauce on biscuits are doing it for show. The food is ok but it is not anything to get excited about. And that hot sauce is just a slightly more liquified tabasco/cholula mix. Again, it's tasty and the biscuits are pretty dry so you want to use it. But moan worthy? No. read more

I came here for breakfast because I had to try for myself the sandwiches that caused so much hype online. I got both the OG breakfast sandwich and the biscuit sandwich. The OG was good. It was almost like a grilled cheese with eggs and avocado. Will I get it again? No. The biscuit was really good but is it the best biscuit? No. I did think the biscuit was a bit on the drier side but flavor wise, it was good. I also added the "hot sauce" to both sandwiches and idk why people call it a hot sauce because it was more like a sweet bbq flavor to me. There was no kick to it. I'll come back and get the biscuit sandwich again but I also do think it's pretty overpriced. I paid almost $30 for both. read more

Don't get me wrong this place is good yet it didn't hit the spot and was expecting the food to give me more of a wow and honestly for the price as well. I wasn't really a fan of the side sauce and I love sauces. I did love how the sandwich looked and how everything inside of it didn't fall out when biting into it. The service was also great, everyone seemed pretty happy and attentive. It's a small little building on the corner with a few seats outside. Would I try it again..??, Wouldn't be on my top to go list unfortunately. Maybe, if there were different sauces then possibly would love to re visit. read more

Breakfast sandwich with bacon was delicious. Would recommend. The biscuit bacon sandwich with egg was just OK. I feel like the biscuit overpowered the other flavors.

Calabama - Damn good biscuits - Southern Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Oh man I really wanted to like this place. First I want to start off with...I love supporting small businesses and I love a good biscuit sandwich. Price wise. Way too expensive. I spent 60$ on 2 sandwiches,2coffees and a side of biscuits. I have no issues paying for something thats amazing. The biscuits are GREAT! unfortunately that's all I can say about what I enjoyed. ive been hearing about this sauce and it was Ok. The sandwich was mid(not too much flavor). Overall, I'd give this place a 5/10. Wish there was another sauce besides the one they offer because the biscuit sandwich was quite dry and they wouldn't let me modify the other breakfast sandwich they offer even though I don't like onions. Lastly, i want to say that the service was great. They were prompt and the cashier was very nice. Price was way too high for what we got. Wish them all the luck! read more

Calabama - Biscuit Sandwich - Southern Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This place was so good! It's in a "groovy" part of the city with lots of eclectic people walking around, IYKYK (typical LA). Service:I was concerned about service based on some of the reviews but that's why you have to go and judge a place for yourself. We had no issues. B: Location: There is NO bathroom or inside area to eat. There's only outside bar style seating on a semi busy street corner. BUT.... Across the street is the Liberation Cafe. We got our food from Calabama then went and got pretty great service and drinks from Liberation. A bathroom and nice tables are inside. Food: A+: Breakfast biscuit. Warm, moist buttery biscuits with egg and cheese! Next time I'll try the breakfast sandwich. A+: The dipping SAUCE. Hot sauce + honey was insanely good. A+: extra side biscuits for later. So good... Menu: A. Although the menu is simple (and handwritten) it hit the spot. I read that someone else said they don't do modifications but luckily this time I didn't have any. Parking: there is a small free lot but if you can't find parking you'll have to park on the side street. My only wish is that they had turkey bacon!! read more

It's amazing what a little sauce can do. Tried this place's breakfast sandwich, which is egg, cheese, avocado, and grilled onion on bread. And as you can probably surmise, it was good but typical. And then I added the dipping sauce. And not to sound like someone on a bad reality show but THIS. CHANGES. EVERYTHING. I don't know what the sauce was, but it was smokey and sweet, and kind of Korean or Chinese or something. Like a super smokey version of duck sauce, only not as thick. Whatever it is, it really made this sandwich something special, one I absolutely want to have again. Now, a couple thoughts about the place itself (not criticisms, just things you should know). It's a small operation, and everything is made fresh, so don't go if you don't have time to wait. I didn't have long to wait, maybe 15 minutes, but when you see a sandwich stand, you think it'll be super fast, and this ain't. That said, the staff were friendly, warned me it would be a moment, and were genuinely apologetic that it did. There's also a limited amount of seating. It's just a bar with a couple built-in chairs. The drink menu is somewhat limited if you like coffee drinks. They just have coffee. No decaf, no espresso, no iced lattes with oat milk and a splash of ginger root extract or whatever. There is a coffee place right there on the corner, but I didn't ask if it would be okay to go and get an iced latte with oat milk and a splash of ginger root extract or whatever and bring it over. I'm guessing it's fine, but I would ask first. There's a parking lot, but it's the kind that can easily get cramped. Lastly, ask for extra napkins. You'll need them. read more

Had the OG sandwich with egg, bacon, avocado, and grilled onions and it absolutely delivered. The dipping sauce? Straight dope.

Calabama - OG breakfast sandwich with biscuit on the side - Southern Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I was crossing the street from the coffee place on the corner when I saw a single neon sign flashing "biscuits" in a window of a small corner shack in the parking lot of a small Hollywood stripmall. Basically, it was beckoning to me. Wasn't it?!?! Hmm, I do love a good biscuit. So I wandered over to check the menu out. Eerrrrrr, breakfast sandwiches on a hot, fresh biscuit? YES, please! The menu is small, there aren't many options. But from the looks of it, these guys make their money in the morning and go about their personal life for the rest of the day. I went with a basic. Bacon, egg and cheese, mostly for comparison tasting. Comparison to what you ask? Well, to other 3984 bacon, egg and cheese breakfast sandwiches I've ever had in my life of course! And I ordered an extra 3 plain biscuits for snacking later. So I saw someone here on Yelp post about how dry the biscuits were. I'd have to disagree. Mine were fluffy dense, and had a good flakiness to the exterior. I was able to peel the layers off on my snacking biscuits. The same person complained that they were over baked. Maybe, they were quite brown and fairly crispy on the outside. However, I kinda love that! It brings out all the fatty flavor in my opinion. I parked on the street, the parking lot is a bit small and busy. read more

Best breakfast sandwich I've ever had. I tried both sandwiches with bacon. The star was definitely the og sandwich. It's like French toast and grilled cheese with the fluffiest eggs and creamiest cheese. The sauce is sweet and spicy and the perfect complement to the sandwiches. The biscuit one was also very good. The biscuit was so moist I could have had it alone. I will say it's a bit pricey, and be prepared to wait about 30 mins. Everything is made fresh to order so grab a coffee, relax and post up. It's worth it. This is a simple walk up window and I like that the have a small menu and don't do subs. You get it as is and it's amazing. If you have allergies, it's not the place for you. read more

I missed out on the red bucket during peak covid times, but was happy to finally get to try a Calabama sandwich a few weeks ago from this location. The sandwich was really solid, loved how bright the eggs and avo was. Felt a little underwhelmed by the bread and also the side of biscuit (was quite quite salty) -- but I will for sure be back read more

The place is a hole in the wall. I see someone described it as charming. Well it's not. Calabama is what it is. Not my kind of eatery. I think the food is sloppy and rather overpriced. Some people may like it. The offerings largely consist of sort of grilled cheese with scrambled egg sandwich and another served on a biscuit. There's also additions of grilled onions, pimiento cheese spread, and bacon. I wanted to tr this latest corner tenant.and so I did. Good luck to the owners. read more

A good breakfast biscuit, just disappointed in size. It's the same size as a McDonald's breakfast sandwich but almost triple the price. Cold brew was okay, not strong enough and a bit watered down. I wasn't blown away but quality was great, love the soft folded egg! The sauce was interesting but I still enjoyed the contrast of the sweet and savory! $20 was steep for said breakfast but not bad! read more

Would recommend stopping by, their biscuits are really stellar. Tall, thick, buttery. We tried their plain biscuits and a biscuit sandwich adding bacon and getting a hot coffee. Even by itself the biscuit stands out though we were happy to take biscuits home and add our own jam and honey. And the sandwich was also stellar, the hot sauce is more of a BBQ-y maple-y affair but tasty all the same and a fair addition to a sandwich or plain biscuit. Coffee was more or less diner coffee but no marks against it. Welcoming service, very helpful and sweet. Happy they have cute little bar area and things felt laid back. Prices were high-ish but not RELATIVELY high so not holding it against them either. But this is a great biscuit in a city that feels largely like a biscuit desert and you should support this independent operation. read more

Amazing! For a girl who doesn't like eggs this sandwich was soooo good! My new favorite breakfast spot! The staff was really nice as well. Great experience, thank you! read more

$15 for a small sandwich that left a lot to be desired. It was flavorless, the only thing I was able to taste was the avocado and nothing else. It took a while to make, was way too expensive, and was incredibly underwhelming. I wanted to like this place but unfortunately I would not recommend it to anyone. I spent $50 for 3 sandwiches.
