Nice small little cafe. Nice ambience. The staff were friendly. They have a variety of entrees & serve breakfast all day. I had the 'Signature Breakfast '. It was good, just not too impressive . Overall a nice place for brunch or lunch. Parking can be found on the streets & I believe there is a small parking lot in the back. read more

I really wanted to love these chilaquiles... but they came out fighting me instead The chicken tasted like it clocked in straight from a Costco bag no seasoning, just vibes. The red sauce? Missing in action. I kept waiting for flavor to show up... it never RSVP'd. Then came the beans just poured on top like they were trying to cover up a crime scene. I see what you did there but it didn't save it. Food took about 20 minutes, which isn't terrible... but for something this mid, it felt like a long 20. Pricing? Definitely paying premium for a struggle plate. I've had way better for way less. Overall: 2/10 (and that's me being generous) Would I come back? Only if the chef decides to season something... anything. read more

On our drive to Camarillo for some outlet shopping, we decided to find a breakfast spot. My wife googled "breakfast near me" and found Main Kitchen Cafe. A quick reroute from the 118 freeway and we were in Granada Hills. We found the restaurant and had no trouble finding a parking space. The restaurant is definitely a diamond in the rough. The local businesses are of various nature so this great little cafe stands out. The decor provides a warm and inviting environment. We were greeted warmly by a waitress, Noemy, who eventually seated us and took our order. Coffee and hot chocolate were delivered soon after and our meals came quickly as well. My wife's Lemon Ricotta Blueberry pancakes were delicious. My Chicken Fried Steak with eggs, biscuit and gravy and potatoes was excellent. The potatoes were a highlight of the dish. Very yummy!!! Oh, and Noemy was attentive and friendly and provided excellent care for our first visit to this popular neighborhood cafe. Though the restaurant is about 20 miles from our home, we definitely will be back when we are headed to points west from our home. read more

First time trying this local Granada Hills restaurant. Gathering with neighbors for a gab sesh over breakfast on Boxing Day. Despite the rain, the restaurant was warm and cozy and we arrived just before 9am, ahead of the weary crowds of post holiday diners. We were seated right away and drink orders delivered promptly. Questions about food substitutes was handled efficiently and friendly, with some additional suggestions which is appreciated. Food arrived within 15 mins of order so the kitchen was in top form. Everything looked delicious and, between bits of gossip, the reviews were positive. We stayed well after the plates had cleared. I don't believe we were keeping customers from the table, but we also weren't rushed by the staff. While we were a group of 4, I think this lovely spot would be best for intimate settings of 2. I would definitely recommend MKC as a meeting spot. While I opted for a basic parfait, after too much holiday indulging it was a light, refreshing break. Strawberries and blueberries were fresh, but the peaches canned. Tasty, but all fresh and seasonal if necessary would be the only recommendation I could offer. Everyone seemed pleased with their choices and I will def return - maybe even contributing some coffee mugs cluttering my own cabinets. Cheers! "CC" read more

Gem hidden in plain sight. I've been living near this fine establishment and barely discovered. I must've been living under rock but glad I'm in the "know". Main Kitchen Cafe is a wonderful place for breakfast, brunch, and lunch. Huge menu, awesome drinks, and great service. The small business neighborhood feel gives it a warm charm. Food is excellent. I went with a group and was able to try out different things. I've never had fried catfish for breakfast. But I'm sure glad I did. Come on in and enjoy a nice warm dine-in experience. Parking is easy. Enjoy. read more

Was in the mood for a breakfast burrito and passing by so I decided to stop in. I must've arrived between breakfast and lunch and was sad immediately. The staff was all very friendly. Decided to go with the sunshine Ranch, breakfast burrito and it was great. Ingredients were clean tasting, and after eating a large burrito still felt great and not bogged down like some burritos can make you feel. Coffee is actually really good. Since it wasn't that busy, it was very calm and relatively quiet inside. read more

Can't beat 50% off omelettes, scrambles, & pancakes weekday deal. Feels better to support local Valley businesses and this now long standing cafe is a solid choice for well made dishes with friendly service. For me inside dining is more comfy than outside tables. The omelette fixings are diverse and there's a little something appealing for a variety of different eaters, including plant based options. Come support them even on the weekend! read more

5/5 I give this place. I gotta hand it to the kitchen staff for making our food good. It was cooked and seasoned well. The steak and eggs were fantastic! Pancake with berries, strawberries and bananas was also fantastic! I'm impressed. The staff were very helpful and paid attention to the customers and kept the place clean inside. Parking can be a challenge on a week day since it is shared with other vendors around and it they don't have a lot of space for many. Overall, it was a good experience eating here. Keep it up! read more

The service is good and the atmosphere is nice as it feels like a modern style diner. The food is okay at best. The food is very average and it's not something I can ever see myself wanting to eat unless I'm right in front of the place and out of options. It's okay at best but I wouldn't really recommend my friends or family to go. read more

Greeted by hostess quickly and kindly. We sat in a clean and inviting dining room. Not too fancy. Lots of wall decor and some music playing in background. We got our food quickly and enjoyed the meal and coffee. It was brought out quickly and the ingredients were great. I recommend this spot for breakfast. I would be careful where you park. I almost got hit when getting in and out of the parking spot along chatsworth. Park in the lot next door if possible. I would return in a heartbeat. read more

What a difference from the last time we went! Lox benedict was so tasty and the Hollandaise wasn't lemony at all! The huevos rancheros (plus avocado) were also delicious. Even the kiddo had a good time with the omelet. And the service - 10 stars! So friendly and accommodating! I've never been so happy to see a Paw Patrol sticker in my life! LOL read more

Don't try the chilaquiles. They were the worse I have ever tried in my life. The first bad sign was that it came with both red and green salsa. I'm Mexican-American and know that that's a no no, but I tried it because the waitress said it was good. It was soupy and came with whole beans. The only good thing about it was the good cooked egg. Sour cream!!!. No! It was pretty insulting to our culture. Glad my mother wasn't with us. Indoor seating is limited. I don't mind waiting or being in crowded spaces if the food is good, not the case. The traditional breakfast was pretty good though. Comes with eggs, bacon, and hash browns. The server was pretty rude at first. I didn't really care because if the food is good, I would overlook a bad server. She gave sarcastic remarks and didn't come often enough to refill waters and coffee. Will not return. Food was a bit pricey. A lot of non-Latinos were eating there. I should have known. The outdoor seating was nice, but this intersection is not. Very noisy and kept looking around when crazy drivers flew by. read more

In an area where you wouldn't necessarily expect a great brunch place to be, there's a great brunch place. I visited Main Kitchen Cafe with my son one Sunday morning and we had surprisingly good foot, tasty and beautifully presented. The place was busy but we didn't have to wait too long for a table. The menu has good options for vegetarians in both the sweet and savory categories. We both got versions of the Chilaquiles. My simpler-palated son got his with scrambled eggs and no sour cream. I asked for "chef's choice" and they brought mine with eggs over easy. It was truly delicious and beautiful looking in the bowl they served it with. The coffee was good enough. They've even got Beyond Sausage as a side option so, again as a vegetarian, I felt well taken care of here. The food is nice and upscale and we'll definitely come back to try more! read more

I came to have breakfast with Mom . we ended up getting their breakfast burrito ( Chile verde) and we shared a plate of fruit with some toast. Service was great. The spot was clean. We did get seated towards the back and they did let us know that there was gonna be like some type of wind draft And so it might get cold but other than that, we had a good time orange juice was freshly squeeze so that was yummy. Parking can get a little bit complicated because it's off of Main Street but if you're lucky, you'll get parking right away and if not, you'll have to wait but not too bad. read more

Let me clarify that this review is regarding their TO GO/PICK UP service. Eating at the Granada Hills location is great. Friendly staff and great food. HOWEVER the rating drops DRAMATICALLY when you order for pickup or delivery. Consistently forgetting items and the food quality is significantly worse when you take it to go. This latest example... I order their Chicken Fried Steak that comes with potatoes, a biscuit and country gravy. Order is picked up and THERE IS NO COUNTRY GRAVY. How is that a miss? Not to mention that I have to remind them that there is a drink that came with the order or that would have been missed as well. Long story short, it is worth it during the week when it's not crowded and the food is MUCH better when you dine in. Avoid to go orders at all costs. read more

Great little breakfast spot that had so many wonderful moments of inspiration all around the restaurant. I had a breakfast scramble (awesome) with grits (a little runny for my taste) and my partner had pancakes which he loved. Food was prepared quickly and our waitress Nancy was on top of things. read more

The food was delicious. I love how they used sourdough bread that was fresh and egg was done just right. Fruit was sweet and not old. It's hard for some restaurants to serve fresh fruits. But this one did it right. Really enjoyed the presentation, the service and the food. Would come back again. read more

Main Kitchen Cafe - Avocado Eggs Benedict with side of fruit - New American Near Me - Granada Hills, California

I've seen this place for years, and I'm glad that I finally got to try it out. We went on a Tuesday morning of a holiday week. I'm not sure if that contributed to the crowd. But it was a little busy and I wasn't able to get parking in the lot next to it. (Yes you can park there.) To avoid parking in the 1 hour spot and needing to move my car, I parked around the corner by the shopping center. Our waiter was working all by himself on the front of house. Even still he was attentive and kind. I got the chilaquiles which was made with fresh ingredients. Unfortunately I did not enjoy it. I believe it was the version of the sauce using tomatillos which tends to be too spud for me. The flavor of the sauce was SO strong that I couldn't taste or enjoy anything else about it. I got it with chicken but couldn't taste the chicken at all. I got mine without eggs, so maybe the eggs would've helped to chill the flavor out. I also got an order of their breakfast potatoes which were crispy, hot, and delicious! I would like to go back and try something else soon! read more

I pass by this little café on Chatsworth /Balboa on my way to and from my asthma doctor 's offices and finally took the time to stop and have a bite to eat. I was greeted and seated by a lovely and friendly waitress. The atmosphere is very nice and the menu was very inviting. I wanted a small snack-like meal so I ordered my favorite go to "avocado toast" and coffee. They serve it with a tomato on top with greens in the side. You can also have it with an egg, which is how I usually have it but this time just wanted it without. They make their avocado smashed. I can't wait to go back and try something else on the menu. (I forgot to take a photo of my dish, I will have to remember that next time) I like that they serve their coffee in different mugs so you get a different one every visit! The decor is kind of cute; quotes and photos on the walls by famous people! Everything else is neat and clean. They even serve you with cloth napkins, a big plus for me! read more

Food was incredibly delicious. I ordered the Salmon Plate which came with Smoked Salmon, sliced cucumber, cream cheese, tomato, and a toasted bagel. Would definitely order again and come back to try other items on the menu. My group was seated at around 11:30am on a Sunday and there was a bit of a wait time of about 15 minutes. The inside of the restaurant was a bit crowded and there was not much room to wait so they directed people outside. Our waiter was friendly and provided good service but she seemed very much overwhelmed. Overall, great experience here! read more

When I walked in this shot lady's was if your dog barks, we will ask you to leave and I said I just got to LA in a plan today and she told me again if your dog barks we will ask you to leave.i waited almost 20 minutes and the place smells like gasoline everywhere strong smell.i was going to get a OJ when they told me it's going to be 7 something for a small cup from a gallon jug.

Great breakfast spot with a variety of items. Ordered the lemon ricotta pancake with berries. Make sure you are a fan of both ricotta and lemon. It is loaded with it! Service was a little slow towards the end, understandable given how busy they were. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. There is indoor and outdoor seating available, and the interior of the cafe is nice and clean. read more

Sometimes I just want a decent stack of pancakes. I ate here once years ago but all I could remember about it was that they had a pretty decent cup of coffee... $17 for pancakes alone is pretty crazy though, so I opted for the mini pancakes just under $8. They were fine, not particularly flavorful and still dry even with syrup. The cafe mocha I tried was decent but for almost $8 bucks? Nah... read more

Stopped by this right after work for some classic American breakfast, saw this place had some really good reviews and had to check it out. The vibe of the restaurant was actually pretty cool, cafe style. It was actually pretty busy for 845am and had to wait a little to be seated. So we ordered the chicken fried steak and eggs, and then she got the eggs Benedict. From the start it was very much unorganized, but I commend the two young workers for doing their best. Took about an unreasonable amount of time for the eggs Benedict to come out. The food was overall decent, if it was cheaper I would come back. read more

Definitely not my vibe. Sooo many people recommended this place. We were sat fast. The decor was nice. It looked clean. The service was good which is the only reason it's getting two stars. The water definitely tastes off somehow. My husband ordered the biscuits and gravy and added on two eggs. They were soooo bland and the biscuits tasted like straight up flour. I ordered the breakfast burrito with chicken apple sausage. It tasted sour, the tortilla was thick and chewy and the salsa had zero flavor. It tasted like water. Better water than in our cups anyways. Definitely won't be back to this place. read more

Frozen food Upon my arrival, I appreciated that the table had been cleaned--but the floor was filthy and full of food scraps. I had to ask someone to sweep it, which should have already been done before seating guests. Asked for poached eggs I said is it possible to have sourdough instead of english muffins and waiter said I was asking to many changes??? When she came back they said sorry can we give you sourdough instead as there is no english muffins???? Then, to make matters worse, the food was clearly frozen. The soup and chicken were still cold inside, and the eggs were undercooked and watery--not over easy, just poorly prepared. Why are you serving frozen meals? If I wanted that, I could've bought a microwave dinner from the supermarket and stayed home. This is completely unacceptable for any establishment that calls itself a restaurant. To be fair, your staff did admit the food was frozen--but that only confirms the issue. I left feeling upset and disappointed. You seriously need to reconsider your food standards and kitchen practices. read more
