Donny's is so good! You have to have to have to try the Chicken and Waffles up in this Mitch! It was so freaking good! The chicken is like a wing stop collab with Roscoe's. Loved it! read more

Saw this place on the way home the other day and decided to try it out on Sunday for brunch. pros: EXCEPTIONALLY friendly and attentive staff. Hard to find good customer service these days. Place was kept very clean and tables were bussed immediately. The chicken wings were phenomenal. Dry with great seasoning and if you wanted hot sauce, it was everywhere. Waffle and pancakes were very tasty, almost tasted a hint of cinnamon perhaps. The waffle is thin for the record The potatoes were also seasoned very well and crispy which is the way I like it. Con: I would love to see fresh squeezed OJ on the menu. The food and the sparkling deserves it! We will definitely be back and CANNOT wait to try the fish and BBQ when the evening restaurant opens soon! Thank you for an enjoyable experience!! read more

Amazing Experience The place was very clean and well maintained beautiful colors Got to watch the game on a Sunday Morning Fried Chicken excellent fresh flavorful and the Waffle OMG so good The customer service was top tier love Donny's Breakfast Spot It doesn't disappoint read more

Found this breakfast spot on TikTok. We were greeted and sat quickly. The man that greeted us also told us where to park (they have a parking lot behind the building). I ordered the waffle with a side of bacon and we also had the Paris Special. Everything was great! I would most definitely recommend if you're in the area to go try. read more

Under the radar breakfast spot in Sherman Oaks. Friendly staff, good attentive service and the food was made fresh. Had the breakfast tacos and you can tell they used clean fresh ingredients, it was delicious. The hot sauce that comes with it was great. I don't give five stars often if ever but I enjoyed it and will definitely go back, you should check it out. read more

Overall, a decent experience. I came at first opening on a Saturday morning. Because it was so early the restaurant was empty. The restaurant was nice and clean. The service staff were friendly and very attentive. The place has a very homey feel, which I think is a plus. Pancake- 6/10 -very mushy Waffle- 8/10 (recommend over the pancake) Chicken - best thing I tasted all morning. Perfectly fried. Could use a bit more seasoning syrup and hot sauce take care of that problem. Mimosa- seemed premade (but I could be wrong). Absolute con- everything on the menu is as is. No substitution. read more

This little spot is awesome, I remember when they were on Woodman and Ventura but they abruptly closed, BUT I stopped in and had some of there waffles and bacon and grits and homemade juices and I cant wait to go back. The staff is friendly and it might take a minute to get the food BUT well worth it, cant wait to go back and taste some of ther other dishes. If you are in the area please stop by and try some of there great food... I will for sure read more

Confused by the 4 and 5 star reviews. Found this place on IG because some random influencer said that it was fire. Sadly I was mislead and disappointed when I finally got around to trying it for myself. The tables inside are very small and uncomfortable and food was not good at all salty and under seasoned and the waffles were dry and just meh. The only good thing about this place was the staff; very welcoming and attentive. read more

Me and my friends stumbled across this place on our walk. We were greeted by Donny and we had a warm welcoming. We picked out our seat and we had to look at the menu and didn't know what to get! My friend decided to get tacos with beef bacon (there's no pork options), which was really really good. I got a pancake with six flats and a side of grits. I don't have a picture of the grits. They were yummy, nice consistency. They accidentally gave me a waffle, which was honestly better than the pancake that originally came with my meal. The customer service was nice. I will definitely go back and try it again. read more

Amazing place. The pancakes are the best I've had. The waitress explained they are from scratch and they pair amazing with the beef bacon. If you haven't had beef bacon before you are in for a treat. Don't sleep on this spot. It's hands down an amazing breakfast. read more

Donny's Breakfast Spot - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Sherman Oaks, California

I visited this restaurant while in Los Angeles for my daughter's birthday. I ordered grits, eggs, and fish, and my daughter had pancakes and bacon. I want to start by saying the grits and eggs were very good, and my daughter enjoyed her meal as well. The fish, however, was not to my personal taste. When the waitress checked on us, I asked if I could substitute the fish for bacon. She said they don't allow substitutions, which I understood, so I simply asked if I could order bacon instead. She continued asking what I didn't like about the fish. After being asked a few times, I explained that TO ME the fish tasted a little artificial. I want to be clear that this was MY PERSONAL OPINION ABOUT THE TASTE, not an accusation about the ingredients. Shortly after, the owner came to the table and made a somewhat shady remark, saying that the fish was not artificial and adding that "IT'S NOT TILAPIA." I calmly explained that I NEVER SAID IT WAS ARTIFICIAL -- I SAID THAT'S HOW IT TASTED TO ME. Taste is subjective, and everyone experiences food differently. Later the waitress returned and told me the owner was offended by my comment. I apologized if my opinion offended him, but in a restaurant setting customers should be able to share honest feedback about what they like or don't like. Not every dish will suit every person's taste. What disappointed me most was not the fish itself, but how the situation was handled. I actually enjoyed other parts of the meal, but being confronted by the owner and told he was offended made the experience uncomfortable. I support Black-owned businesses and genuinely wanted to enjoy this visit, but customers should be able to share their personal opinions about food without feeling confronted for it. read more

Definitely go back again. I almost feel asleep on the way home. Taste 100%, customer service 100%, location 100% just try the out. Go early just to beat the crowds. read more

We checked out, this place around 8 AM on Saturday morning! The look of the diner is so appeasing to the eye! I love the colors, it reminds me of a contemporary look of the old school 50s diner with the tall top chairs close to the kitchen. Their food is sooooo delish! Waffles are flat, very wide with great flavor! The 4 breakfast tacos w/ house sauce (interesting taste & compliments tacos) but were filling . Next time I will ask for pico de galio sauce when ordering; its so fresh! They do have a few things on the 2 standing digital menus (which you must use to place your order), to choose as an option which should be taken off until its an available option (mimosas & the wing confusion noted below). During my first visit, I chose the lemon pepper wings & fries option and later found out after my family received their food, 10+ minutes, that for some reason the breakfast kitchen doesn't receive the same printout if the order is placed for specialty Wings; it usually goes to the restaurant right next-door to it, Donny's Wings which does not open until 12 PM. I had to interrupt our birthday breakfast celebration to deal with this situation. The server is such a sweet woman with GREAT service! (Hope she gets paid very well) She frequently checked in to ensure we were comfortable & satisfied. Overall a 4.7 read more

Fish & grits Pancakes Day one special & coffee All Delicious! Great service - greeted on arrival and waters are at the table shortly after you are seated. You order and pay at the table. It's similar to other restaurants in the area, but you get to sit first which I prefer. There's a big screen tv playing sports generally. Clean and chill vibe. We've been here twice so far :) Will be back! read more

Found this place on instagram and took my love for his birthday! From the moment we walked in, it was a great vibe. The two ladies that we encountered gave great customer service! We were offered inside or outside seating. Initially we sat outside but the heat of the day had us retreat to the inside with the air. They offered up the most popular items on the menu and their preferences as well! Donny himself served the food quickly! All three of them checked up on us while we ate. I'll definitely go back and support! read more

Donny's is my new favorite spot to grab breakfast. First of all the atmosphere is very chill, wall art is beautiful, and our server was such a sweetheart. My husband and I got the Diamond plate and it was AMAZING! Waffles are crisp and the smell was so pleasant The potatoes were very crispy as well, they had a nice aroma and flavor was so delightful.

My husband and I had been looking forward to checking out this restaurant. We walked in and didn't really know how seating worked so we stood there for a min. The main lady came to greet us and said that because we were 2, we couldn't sit in the 2 available tables because those were for 4 people and they needed them open in the event larger parties showed up. This was very odd and never encountered this in any restaurant before so our options were the bar (very uncomfortable) or outside in 90 degree weather. 10 min later 2 separate parties of 2 came and both were seated without a problem in the tables that were unavailable to us. I then asked for coffee and she said she could not get it for me until she got the food because there were "too many people in the back." Again, never had a restaurant refuse to bring out coffee. We ordered a dish that came with eggs whites but she continued to ask how we wanted the eggs. When we responded with "egg whites" she said this was a modification. The restaurant lacked hospitality and didn't show they cared about our business. Even the man that brought our food didn't seem to care from the way he spoke to us. Overall, we won't be returning but we wish them well. read more

Not enough words to explain how great this place was from the service to the food everything was top-tier. Ari was our server and she was so sweet and Service was amazing, very detailed, and easy. The restaurant was super clean and the food was amazing! I had the breakfast sandwich that was on Texas toast. I will definitely be coming back and wouldn't mind becoming a regular here! read more

More people need to go here. The food is so good. Love love the waffles, the eggs and the potatoes.

Horrible! We walked in and first we couldn't even tell who worked there or not. Nobody came to seat us or direct us. Confusing at first. Nobody knows wtf they're doing. No management. The owner walking around like he's proud of the mess he owns. Meanwhile we didn't even get menus for 15 mins. Didn't get drinks for another 10 mins after that. Then we watched them seat people after us, those people got their food first and finished eating and left BEFORE we got our food. It took at least an hr simple things. At one point I wanted to just leave but I already paid! Which is obviously why they make you pay first. The owner has his old auntie working there and she just needs to go home and watch some price is right. She's not fit to work there but obviously thinks she has seniority over the other employees because she tells them to get the stuff we're asking her for IF she remembers. read more

Oh my goodness gracious!...first of all, the SERVICE was outstanding! Loved, loved, loved our server!! I came in with two other ladies, we were greated warmly and (Archetta?) was attentive above an beyond! The food was sooo good!! I didn't know my spirit was missing some grits!! I had the Chaya special. So good!! i couldn't finish it all. My friends couldn't finish theirs either! So fresh! So tasty! We will be back! read more
