Complimentary conchas! Yes please! Located in a shopping center with plenty of parking this spot gets packed on the weekends but came in here on a weekday and still was pretty busy! I can see why! Service and food were great! I got the Machaca breakfast burrito, really tasty- I think if they had a cold red salsa it would make it top tier! My daughter got the kids pancake breakfast. Delicious and the comfort of your ideal cafe. Recommend! read more

To me, this is a good but not great place. But at least it is a good breakfast lunch option with both Mexican and American options. Nice touch with the conch bread for each person when you are seated. I had chilaquiles and it tasted good. What I tell my friends - if you have to wait 30 minutes or less than it's worth it. If you have to wait more than 30 minutes, then it's not worth the hype. But if you've never been there before and you're already there, then you might as well just wait. read more

This this is a fun café that's part of the Liaded chain of restaurants. It's located on El Segundo Blvd., at the north end of Gardena. So, it's easy to get to. This café is located in a strip mall, so you have to keep your eyes open to see it. But, once you know where it is, you'll have no problem getting here. The strip mall has a fairly good size parking lot, so there should be no problem in finding a parking spot. In terms of what they offer, they offer a wide menu with a lot of varieties of food. Mostly, their food is based off of a Cali/Max cuisine. This being said, they also have a large number of waffles and a lot of different burger combinations. They also have salads for the vegans. So, you should have no problem finding something worth eating here. Mostly, it's all very tasty food. Though, if I may make one comment, the portion sizes are fairly small. Some people will like this, and some people may not find that appealing. But, this is just something to keep in mind Overall, this is a very good café. The staff here are all super nice, and the food is tasty. read more

I've been to a few Loaded Café locations, but this one truly stands out and that's all thanks to Ramon! From the moment we sat down, he made us feel welcome and taken care of. His attentiveness was top-tier! We never had to wait or ask twice for anything. He also gave us some great menu recommendations that did not disappoint. The interior of this location is by far one of the nicest I've seen (definitely a step up from the El Segundo spot), and the vibe was warm and inviting. The food was delicious and totally worth it especially their special, which may be smaller in size but is surprisingly filling and full of flavor. Overall, this location has earned a solid spot on my favorites list. Between the great service, cozy atmosphere, and tasty food, I'll definitely be coming back! read more

The food, service, and overall atmosphere of the restaurant are all exactly what I want out of a diner. The music is lively without being too loud, our server, April, was super helpful with suggestions on delicious options (country potatoes, which were just as tasty as she promised), quick service, and was overall just very helpful, polite, and considerate. The food, crepe combos with potatoes and sausage with fried eggs, were filling and absolutely scrumptious. I will definitely be back. April also brought out a concha each with our coffees, and they too were divine. This is going to be a go-to breakfast favorite for me for sure. read more

Drink orders were taken quickly and everyone found a delicious cocktail to begin. We ordered the spinach artichoke dip and fried deviled eggs to start. Everyone loved the dip as there was hardly any left by the time I eyeballed it. That was ok though because I was focused on those eggs. I love me a devlled egg and had never tried a lightly fried one before. The quick fry does heat the entire bite up so just be mindful. It was good but I'd likely try another appetizer first. Then, we got down to the entree orders. They do offer a bistro plate that has a 4 oz filet on top of a little piece of garlic toast. It comes with a side of soup, corn chowder, and a bistro salad. I have to admit, it was a perfect size for me. The corn chowder was creamy and delicious, not too much roasted corn and just perfect amount of heavy cream ans spices. My filet was perfectly cooked, medium rare. I asked and received some creamy horseradish for it, which was delicious. The bistro salad had an Asian vinaigrette and was perfectly crunchy to pair with the filet. My peer ordered the Reuben sandwich which looked pretty amazing. Another ordered the meatloaf special on a bed of mashed with gravy which also looked incredible. We split two "butter cakes" which were so good. Yellow cake with an external crunch of sugar crystals, topped with a berry compote and whipped cream. Now, THAT was a standout among desserts. Go there. Get some. Life is too short for boring food. The staff were all incredible as well, very attentive. This place may become a "must do" while we're in town moving forward so keep it up, Nick!

For the volume of people being served, it's pretty efficient. Our table ordered: 1) egg & cheese burrito. Very good. Average size. Not a jumbo as a Mexican restaurant might serve. 2) avocado toast with a poached egg. Nice entree. Again with the 2-1/2 to 3" slice of whole wheat black sesame toast. She's not a crust girl, but ate the inside portion. Excellent bread with ample avocado. Egg cooked as ordered. 3) potato hash with a poached egg. My son devoured & said it was really good. 4) prosciutto burrata cheese melt with side spinach salad. Great little sandwich. I little greasy since it was maybe panini pressed. Salad was dressed in an o/v dressing. Could have been punched up a bit with S&P. Son's gf didn't eat the basil & micro green garnish on the avo toast. Asked whether I could have it. Which I sliced up and added to side salad. A pro move cuz it was really kind of oily & one note. Yes, I understand it's a freebie side for a sandwich. The herbs added a lot to flavor this salad. Valet parking is $10 or street parking/near by grocery store lot. Upscale decor with brass accents. Read many low star ratings. Some may be completely legit. Except for one who complained about a $2 charge for an extra house made aioli/marinara sauce. Look...even fast food places charge for extra sauces. Yes maybe 10 yrs ago it might have been free. However, running a restaurant/large food service operations costs A LOT of money. Money for ingredients that are delivered in trucks who are paying more than $8/gal for diesel. Ingredients/supplies that hopefully all come from the US. If not it's extra tariff prices. Thanks to minimum wage increases even fast food workers make $20/hr. Also a smaller pool of workers thanks to ICE. If you're going to complain about restaurant pricing, stay home and cook. Cuz if someone else is doing it for you, it costs.

Alright, it took me a second to gather my thoughts, but here it is…read more I came to Soul Food Shack with my expectations set squarely on the food. I was only in Cali for a short while, and this spot happened to be about 15 min down the street from where I was staying. Perfect location, and I was curious to see how Cali does soul food. From the first bite, it hit me Emotionally triggered as I was transported straight back to my childhood. It felt like I was sitting at the kitchen table in New Orleans, eating my nanny's candied yams, greens, macaroni, and fried chicken. The flavors had that deep, home-cooked love, that is not taken for granted or lost on me, so hats off to the cook! That kind of food doesn't just fill you up; it connects you,and to top it off, the drinks? Man, they serve that real deal kol-aid. The kind I used to drink as a kid. As I was eating, I started thinking about how food ties us to previous & future generations. It's wild how dishes once considered scraps i.e: greens, yams, cornbread, oxtails, are now sought out in restaurants just like this one. These meals are more than just food; they're stories of survival, resilience, and community. But I digress, I know y'all didn't come here for a history lesson in Black culture, so I'll leave it at that. Now, onto the standouts. The mac and cheese and yams? Easily the stars of the plate. I like my yams runny and solid, because I love mixing it with the cornbread. Sweet, savory, soft--that combo hits every time. The macaroni? Seasoned perfectly. Creamy, rich, and not bland like you sometimes get at other spots . That's rare, and I don't take it for granted. Overall, Soul Food Shack gave me more than just a good meal, it gave me a taste of home, miles away from where I grew up. If you're ever in Inglewood and need some food that feeds more than just your stomach, pull up, tap in, eat up.

The interior is pretty tight, especially when fully packed, so I'd recommend requesting to sit on the patio. All of the staff were very friendly and as accommodating as they could be. Our food took longer than expected to come out, but our server was happy to keep checking on the delays for us. My friend and I shared the following: Mac n Cheese Balls (Happy Hour): Since they were so small, I was worried they would be greasy after being fried, but surprisingly they were relatively light. The mac-n-cheese flavor came through well, and the parmesan was a nice element.. Korean Frachos (Happy Hour): We were most excited about this dish, but were slightly disappointed. I like the concept, but the ratio of toppings/sauce to potatoes was off. The potatoes were cooked well, but underseasoned. With some tweaking, this could be great. For now though, I'd recommend regular nachos over this. Fish & Chips (Entree): Again, cooked well, but underseasoned. To be fair though, fish and chips is a pretty mellow dish. I didn't particularly enjoy the fingerling potatoes. The varying textures/doneness of the smushed and whole potatoes together was off putting. I would rather stick to one or the other. Additionally, the blandness after biting into the whole potato overwhelmed the sauce they're in, so we ended up cutting them each in half and mixing it around to balance it out. Carrot cake: The cake itself was delicious! Perfectly spiced and moist. The maple flavor of the whipped cream was a nice pairing, but it was also slightly watery. The frosting was very, very sweet, so we ate around it for the most part. The candied pecans added a nice textural element without distracting from the cake itself. My friend also tried the Al Pastor Fish Taco. She liked how full it was, but noted that it was also slightly underseasoned. I probably wouldn't come back, but I also didn't have a bad dining experience either. TikTok: @qtrinthejukebox Instagram: @qtrinthejukebox

Special shoutout to Wadia, who was attentive, apologetic about the delay, and genuinely cared about the experience. Despite the big order ahead of mine, they got my food out in 10 minutes. Friendly fun staff! With awesome service.

Great Food, Outstanding Service & A Fantastic Family-Friendly Experience…read more Bruxie was such a pleasant experience, and what really stood out to me wasn't just the food--it was how welcoming, attentive, and accommodating the staff were throughout our entire visit. We came in as a family, and the staff did an excellent job making sure we were comfortable while we waited for our food. They checked on us several times to make sure everything was okay, and I especially appreciated how they went out of their way to make the experience enjoyable for our family. They provided coloring materials and games for us to play while we waited, which was such a thoughtful touch. Those little details make a huge difference when you're dining with kids. Instead of feeling like we were simply waiting around for our food, it actually gave us something fun to do together as a family. The service was genuinely friendly without feeling forced. Everyone we interacted with was helpful, patient, and attentive, and they made us feel like they actually cared about our experience. That level of hospitality deserves to be recognized because great customer service can really elevate an otherwise casual meal. And then there was the food! I ordered the Breakfast Burrito with fried chicken, and it was absolutely loaded. Bruxie's breakfast burrito comes packed with eggs, melted cheddar, spiced tots, chipotle mayo, Bruxie cheese sauce, and your choice of protein, and choosing the fried chicken was definitely the right move. (Toast) The fried chicken was cooked superbly. It had a great crispy exterior while still being juicy and flavorful on the inside. What I really enjoyed was how well the chicken worked with the other ingredients in the burrito. You had the richness of the cheese, the texture and seasoning from the tots, the creaminess of the sauces, and the savory fried chicken all coming together in every bite. The burrito was also generously filled, so this wasn't one of those breakfast burritos where you get mostly tortilla with a little filling in the middle. There was plenty of everything, and the flavors actually complemented one another instead of competing. The combination of crispy fried chicken, eggs, cheese, potatoes, and the sauces made it incredibly satisfying. I also appreciate that Bruxie offers a menu that feels fun and different rather than just another standard breakfast or chicken restaurant. Their whole concept revolves around putting creative spins on comfort food, particularly chicken and waffles, while also offering breakfast burritos, chicken sandwiches, tenders, shakes, and other options. (Bruxie) Overall, Bruxie delivered on both the food and the experience. The breakfast burrito was flavorful, filling, and cooked extremely well, but the staff really made the visit memorable. The fact that they took the time to check on us, make sure we had what we needed, and even provide coloring activities and games for the family showed a level of thoughtfulness that you don't always get at a casual restaurant. If you're looking for a spot where you can get some seriously good comfort food while still having a family-friendly and welcoming experience, Bruxie is definitely worth checking out. Great food. Great service. Great family atmosphere. And that fried chicken breakfast burrito is absolutely worth trying.

I'm a little bit on the fence as far as my feelings for this place. My wife and I had breakfast here on one of my rare days off. I'd seen so many great Yelp reviews that I figured it was worth a visit. But my experience was both pleasant and slightly disappointing. I'll try to keep it short & sweet(ish)... The restaurant is located in a small strip mall. The surrounding area doesn't look the nicest or most welcoming. The inside of the restaurant is pretty basic but has some nice wall decor with inspirational saying on them. The place is relatively small although they do try to make use of all available floor space as possible. This is both a blessing and a curse since it means more access to seating, but in very close proximity to other patrons at times. Let's get down to the food... which in my opinion is good, but not great. The menu selection is plentiful with all your usual egg, omelette and pancake options. And they have crepes, which is a major plus in my book! Portions sizes are pretty generous and pricing is very reasonable. But as far as taste, everything was more or less A-OK to me. For me, nothing really stood out as being exceptional. As previously stated by other Yelpers, it does seem like the owner has connections to IHOP since the pancakes taste similar and the various syrup flavors are identical. IHOP quality food for little diner prices and great service to boot makes this a solid 4-star spot in my opinion. A great breakfast spot for the locals or anyone else that might be in the area. It'd probably be my Go-To place if I lived close by. But for everyone else, it's probably not worth the trek since you can find equally good breakfast spots that are closer to where you live. read more

I recently visited Loaded Cafe with high hopes after seeing their impressive social media presence. Unfortunately, the experience was a letdown. The restaurant wasn't busy, but cleanliness seemed to be an issue with dirty plates on several tables. While the complimentary warm mini concha was a nice touch, the service was lacking. I struggled to get a simple coffee refill and had to repeatedly ask different servers. For our meal, my coworker opted for steak and eggs, and I chose the chile verde, which was recommended as popular and moderately spicy. The salsa, however, was overwhelmingly spicy, far beyond the expected level. Despite the restaurant not being busy, our food took 30 minutes to arrive. My coworker's portion was so small it resembled a child's meal, and my dish was equally disappointing in size and presentation - especially for the $17 price tag. The chile verde's color and taste were nothing like the menu's depiction. Again, service for refills was poor. I had read about the owners' journey in starting the business, which seemed promising, but it appears the focus has shifted away from essentials like menu quality and customer service. The diverse menu seems to lack a clear direction, and the fusion of American and Mexican cuisine falls short in execution. Based on this experience, I cannot justify a return visit. Paying $50 for such unsatisfactory meals and service was not worthwhile. It's a reminder that great marketing doesn't always translate to a quality dining experience. Regrettably, this restaurant fails to deliver on its promise, both in culinary delight and customer service. read more

I've never done a review but I want to give credit to a great dining experience. We walk in and immediately hear a shout from the back welcoming us. We stood there for about a or two and the server APRIL came out with full plates in hand saying she'd be with us shortly. The manager MARIA came out right after with drinks in hand and then got our table ready. Our server was APRIL and she informed us that she would be with us shortly as she had several tasks to do which I really admired. MARIA dropped us off fresh warm conchas while we waited. When APRIL came she was very sweet and informative and also apologized about the wait which we didn't mind as our party are restaurant workers as well and understand. The food was really good and APRIL'S recommendation of using the green Sriracha for an added kick was really good. APRIL was really pleasant through whole experience even though sweat covered she always had a smile on her face. MARIA charged us and was very sweet as well . I originally was just going to do a 5 star review for free the crepe but didn't even bother asking about it because they were understaffed which my whole party understood (I'm a GM of a restaurant as the rest of the party were managers of various positions) with the whole "situation" businesses are slower so staffing so we completely understood. Will definitely come back and again thank you APRIL and MARIA you two are rockstars read more

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Loaded Cafe, and I must say, it was an outstanding experience from start to finish! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it the perfect spot for a casual meal or a cozy catch-up with friends. One of the highlights of my visit was the exceptional service provided by our waitress, Liz. From the moment we sat down, Liz was attentive and cheerful, making sure we felt welcome. She was knowledgeable about the menu and offered great recommendations based on our preferences. Her enthusiasm for the food was infectious, and it truly enhanced our dining experience. The menu itself is a delightful mix of comfort food and unique dishes. I tried the loaded nachos, and they were absolutely delicious--packed with flavor and generous portions. Liz checked in frequently, ensuring our drinks were full and that we had everything we needed without being intrusive. Overall, Loaded Cafe is a gem, and Liz is a star! I can't wait to return for another meal and to see her bright smile again. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great food and excellent service! read more

I decided to indulge in two classic brunch dishes: the biscuits & gravy and a crepe. The biscuits & gravy were absolutely divine fluffy, buttery biscuits smothered in a rich, creamy gravy that had just the right amount of pepper and seasoning. Each bite was a comfort food dream, perfectly balancing heartiness and flavor. The crepe was equally impressive, with a delicate, thin wrapper that was cooked to golden perfection. Filled with a delicious combination of fresh ingredients, it was a light yet satisfying complement to the more robust biscuits & gravy. What truly elevated the experience was Mel's exceptional service. She was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely warm, making me feel welcome and ensuring my dining experience was top-notch. Whether you're a local or just passing through, Loaded Cafe is a must-visit brunch spot that promises delicious food and excellent service. read more

We had a wonderful breakfast at Loaded Cafe this morning. The food was delicious across the board -- French toast, eggs, sausage, asada chilaquiles, and great coffee. Everything was flavorful, satisfying, and clearly made with care. What really elevated the experience, though, was our server April. Her service was impeccably warm, friendly, and welcoming -- the kind that makes you feel genuinely taken care of, not rushed. She brought such a positive energy to our meal and made a great breakfast even better. Highly recommend for both the food and the hospitality. We'll definitely be back. read more

Excellent food. They also have fresh smoothies made. I just wish it was more affordable! They charge for Everything!! With that being said.. they Do have a lot of options to choose from so you don't have to add onto your meal if you choose to (for example if i wanted spinach amd bacon added to an omelet or something). On a positive note they give a good size portion for the kids pancake meal.. so we usually get that and add am extra egg or sausage if we feel more hungry. Pancakes and omelets are Very good here.. so we put up with the price. read more

I opted for the broccoli cheddar baked potato bowl with steak and shrimp, while my son went for the spaghetti and meatballs. The gentleman was kind enough to offer us samples of the beverages. I really liked the orange drink, while my son loved the berry drink. I paid the check and then the guy asked if we were dining in or taking out; and I confirmed we would be dining in. This is where things went sideways. I completed my order at 12:03 but we didn't get our food until 12:25; then when we got our food, there were no drinks. I had to get up and line up to remind the cashier about the drinks. 22 minutes for these two dishes and then another three minute wait to get the drinks I ordered 25 minutes ago; that is overkill in my opinion. The whole process was confusing. I'm assuming the cashier was supposed to give us our drinks when I paid but he forgot. There was no explanation on how the process works. I assumed we would be called out by name, since he asked for my name while ringing up my order. The overall ambiance of the restaurant is nice. This was my first impression and though the lengthy delay and confusing experience didn't leave a great impression on me; the food was still tasty and if I do return, I will likely stick to take out.

Found this place via yelp. Let me start off with why I…read moredidn't give 5 stars. It definitely had the potential too. My number one reason, they CHARGE a crazy % to pay with a CARD! My bill was almost $8 dollars MORE just because I paid with card. What type of restaurant charges to pay with a debit card?!?!? Which means the higher your bill the more you get charged on your bill if paying with card. That is definitely something they should let all customers know on their website or when someone calls or right when they come in to eat. Honestly extremely frustrating and one of the reasons I didn't leave a tip. My second reason, Our waitress was as bland and dry as their rice. She didn't introduce herself, she was a bit rude and seemed like she didn't want to be there. I definitely felt rushed by her when ordering and she wasn't attentive. I asked for sour cream and it came out watered down...? Sour cream should be thick. So my only down fall on food was the dry dry dry rice & the liquid sour cream. The rest of our food was delicious, everyone enjoyed their meal. My daughter ordered the carnitas wet burrito, very yummy, my other daughter ordered birria tacos, she said were good. My mom ordered asada place with cheese enchilada, which she enjoyed. My aunt ordered chicken salad and tortilla soup. The salad was just a salad, but she said the soup was flavorful and full of veggies. I had the chimichanga (beef) plate, was very delicious meat and the beans were yummy. Again, rice was not good on its own. Over all, I'd give the food a 4.5 not a full 5 because the rice was so dry and they gave me watered down sour cream. Didn't care for the salsa with the chips, very tomato flavor heavy, I asked if they had a spicy salsa and they do which was very good. The place itself is very small but super cute inside and out, Parking is also very limited. So if you decide to give this place a try, HAVE CASH**** to avoid a crazy fee. Be careful of the dry rice.
