    The Ultimate Burrito
    Pedro J.

    Man oh man! I love this spot. Very homey vibe inside with the interior feeling like you're in someone's grandmas house. DELICIOUS food. Ofc the name states to get the waffles but dang is everything else really yummy. I did not expect their breakfast burrito to hit the way it did but it was delicious. Got a waffle on the side to enjoy with their house made jam and some butter. Great breakfast spot but i'd say come early bc it does get a bit busy. Service was good and quick and they're always refilling your coffee. Can't wait to come back again.

    I have been coming here for 10+ years now and I always try something new! This time around I have tried the chilaquiles burrito and it was... interesting. Would I try again? Nope! But the eggs with chorizo was soooo good! Will come back to try something else that's new! Always a pleasure going with a staff so friendly and accommodating!

    My family and I were first-time visitors to this extremely popular and busy restaurant. By the end of our meal, we became fans. Located in the Encino Town Center, I am so happy that my daughter recommended this restaurant. The interior of the restaurant is large, with numerous well-stocked tables and many more tables located outside for patio dining. There also appeared to be a mid-sized banquet room off to one side, behind closed doors, which several guests were exiting to use the restrooms. The entire staff was very friendly, hard-working, and attentive to each of their assigned tables. The specialty here is the waffles; however, their menu is HUGE!!! It offers guests a variety of other food options, including pancakes, salads, omelets, crepes, and more. My family and I ordered Nutella crepes, peach waffles, frittata, and seasoned potatoes. Each item was DELICIOUS, fresh, and well prepared. We plan to return here soon to try other great-sounding options on the menu. This was a very positive dining experience.

    Stopped by this gem because I was craving a good breakfast. Well, what can I say. We were referred to the right place. I ordered the Encino's Egg White Frittata. This was delicious!! The eggs were light, and fluffy. The veggies were tender , and vibrant, not too mushy, and lastly the cheese on top was a little gooey, stretchy, and blistered. This frittata was perfect. I didn't try my table mates dishes but I'm sure they were delicious. Both plates were empty when we left. I will definitely be back to try a different dish in the future.

    Omelet

    Well, I thought I found a little gem. Nope everybody knows about this gem. This place was literally jumping and in the best way possible so nice to see a small business doing so well so good to have good food and I loved that the owner was walking around the whole time making sure everybody was having a great experience. She was lovely. Food is fantastic. Waffles were great. I had an omelette and a waffle so definitely overindulged but absolutely worth every bite. I cannot wait to go back again. There was 1 million things I wanted on this menu that I couldn't get they had crêpes waffles Benedict's omelette, salad sandwiches so many things I could barely keep up. It was amazing.

    Nutella Belgian Waffle

    This is my second time going here, and the food is delicious! The service is good and the food comes out really fast. The Californian omelette is big and comes with a good amount of bacon and cheese inside. We upgraded our waffle to the Nutella waffle (with half banana and half strawberry). Everything was delicious. The only con is that the food is on the pricier side. Also, I believe we were charged extra for doing half strawberries and half bananas (and were not told that was an extra charge by our waitress) Also, the wait can be really long so definitely join ahead of time online! Other than that, the food is delicious and I will be back

    The food portions are HUGE and well worth the price and wait! Great diner for large families as it seems they don't require reservations for large parties. You SHOULD expect a wait, especially on the weekend. The wait is anywhere from 1-2 hours depending on when you line up. I arrived at 9:30AM on Father's Day and waited about 70 minutes to be seated at 10:40AM. The front of house did estimate about an hour wait and she was right. The Yelp waitlist isn't super accurate as people do leave the queue, I was 18th in line when I was seated. The staff are doing their best to get the food and customers in and out. They are quick and the food comes out fast and hot! I'm shocked that they were still able to check up on their tables and be friendly while fielding so many orders and customers! Speaks to their great customer service. Ronnie's Scrumptious Breakfast - 5/5, deliciously made homestyle potatoes they were piping HOT. The bacon and cheese cooked in and over medium egg were delicious!! I loved the tomato salsa that came with the food. Eggs Benedict waffles - 5/5, WOW the hollandaise sauce is on the thinner side and has a nice tang to it which makes it less heavy and easier to eat! Perfectly poached eggs and PLENTY of waffle real estate Cup of chili - 5/5, love that they top with red onion and cheese. Sweet, savory homemade chili, what's not to like!

    Best waffles in town, been going here since we moved to Encino many years ago. However I haven't been back in a few years as my kids got older and prefer to sleep in than go out for breakfast. However the past holiday weekend my youngest woke up early so I told him we will go to the waffle place. Got there before 9am so we were seated right away. We sat inside and we both ordered an omelette with the waffles as the side. Service was fast but the only thing is that the eggs are overcooked. On the photo you can see the edges were brown on my order (Californian). The servings are huge so we only ate half of the omelettes we ordered and finished off the waffles. I had the Californian and my son had Denver. The Californian is a folded omelette while Denver flat. I prefer my son's omelette than mine. Next time I'll just have the waffles! Oh and they put jam and salsa that's really good to put on anything - even the waffles.

    Chilaquiles
    Susie M.

    Visited More Than Waffles Saturday before Mother's Day for brunch. Was originally excited to try their food as their menu is extensive and had many options available from classic breakfast plates, Mexican twists and of course, waffles! While two kind waiters originally came to our group to just offer coffee and water, a hostess randomly came up to our group and rudely said "well, your group has been here for 40 minutes now and still haven't ordered and we need the tables". First and foremost, our group had not been there for 40 minutes yet, and if we had been, that would have showed how delayed their service was. Secondly, the hostess came off very rude and aggressive, she could have asked if we were just ready to order. Finally, we had been waiting for someone to take our order the entire time! We kindly advised we had been waiting to order. She ruined the vibes for the entire group, and we did not feel welcome for the rest of the experience. The waiters were extremely kind, just not whoever the hostess was on 5/9/26. Waffles came out first, would have made more sense to have them after the main meal. Eggs Benedict were very traditional, seasoned well but nothing to rave for. They definitely have a different take on chilaquiles, not what I was expecting but decently seasoned. Food is around 6.5-7/10. Well seasoned, flavorful but not unique. Not coming back to this location to due the experience unfortunately.

    Fountains by the patio

    A very busy Saturday before Mother's Day. I love the WaitList they use through Yelp. I have been here before and waited over an hour to be seated. I was with my daughter and 2 granddaughters, celebrating Mother's Day. The patio area is very pretty, with the water fountain and umbrellas. The inside was like a cozy home decor. Very comfortable seating, It was very loud. I ordered the french toast waffle with fresh strawberries, kiwi and berries. I declined the whip cream and nuts and didn't use the melted butter and syrup that came with it. My waffle was delicious, with mounds of fruit, although mine was delivered about 10 minutes after everyone else, and it wasn't a french toast waffle. My daughter had the traditional eggs benedict with potatoes, which she enjoyed. My pregnant granddaughter had eggs benedict, but removed one of the english muffins and added avocado. She was very happy. My youngest granddaughter also had the eggs benedict, but with fruit. We all left full. The service was very good, in spite of the busy day.

    Mark's BBQ Omelette
    Camille W.

    Totally worth the hype. We had some guests from out of town and we took them here recently. They offer an incredible variety of waffles and breakfast items here. My bf couldn't believe you could get ice cream on your waffles haha. I really enjoyed the bbq omelette. I'd never think to put bbq sauce on an omelette but here I am, savoring every last bite. I wanted to split it into two meals but I couldn't stop eating it. I'd come again in a heartbeat, although I'd try and come during the week as opposed to the weekend because the wait is probably unbearable during most weekends. Ample parking because it's a strip mall. Also if you sit outside, they have plenty of heaters so won't shiver while you eat.

    Wow what a hidden gem!! You don't even know about this spot since it's in the back of the shopping center. This place was crazy busy and packed as expected for a great spot and weekend brunch. We put our names down and waited maybe 15-20 minutes. Beautiful view of the fountain and they have nice seating outside. We got to sit inside where the AC was blasting lol. Food also came out really quick after we ordered! He got some potatoes with egg and I got the chilaquiles with added avocado and tortilla chips on the side so they don't get soggy. Huge portion so there were definitely some leftovers! Super delicious and love how quick the service was. Wish it had the green verde sauce but the salsa was nice and not spicy. Friendly staff both hosts and waitresses. Definitely want to come back and try some of their waffle items! IG: @ammysalamii

    Food is great! 5 stars for food...everything else definitely could use some improvement. Make sure you do the yelp waitlist. Check in with the front when you arrive and be on top of your waitlist. We waited more than an hour, then got a text saying we were taken off. Front of house said we were supposed to check in with them (but never got a text)...party in front had same issue...didn't apologize or anything...waited probably 10 more min then we were sat for party of 3. 3 of us ordered: mushroom omelette $20.95 upgrade to blueberry waffle $7.50 side potatoes $5.95 cali omelette with waffle $21.95 OJ $5.25 Waffle is truly light and crispy, best I've had! Solid omelet. For the most part, staff is friendly, could be a bit more attentive. Older building. Layout of the place could definitely be more optimized...but why change anything when they're so busy haha. Overall, food here is great! Just be mindful of everything up to getting food on the table. Will be back!! Curious to see how the waffle holds up for takeout.

    This was my third time at Lady C's and it didn't disappoint. This place has become a staple…read morerestaurant to show to guests coming to town. Everything I've tried so far was delicious from the coffee to the fresh orange juice to the pancakes and omelettes. The soufflé pancakes are truly fluffy and delicious. I've tried the strawberry ones and also the mango ones in the past and both were incredibly good.. This place gets pretty full, but they always accommodated us and took our order quickly. The ambience is laid-back and welcoming I highly recommend checking out lady C's!

    Let me begin by saying that most of the food here is very, very, very well prepared and very, very,…read morevery good. What baffles me is the service. The last time I came here it was about five years ago, when it was still CiCi's. What I remember about that last time was how long it took us to get our food. I ordered steak and eggs, and when we asked when our food was coming, our waitress stared at me and said, "Well you ordered the steak . . . ". As if it was my fault that the food was taking a very long time. Regardless, when the food finally came, it was very good. However, the price point and the service was enough for me not to go back for a very long time. Until today. There are two seats on the very far left end of the bar that are lower than the regular bar seating. The hostess gave us menus promptly. There is a tall waitress working there who wears large glasses. Her hair was pulled back tightly. I'm not sure if she's is Asian or Hispanic. I'm not saying that to throw any shade at her ethnicity whatever it is I'm just saying that to try to describe who this person is. I have never in my life, been looked at so sourly and exasperatedly by a waitress as I have when this waitress saw my boyfriend and I sitting at the bar. No smile. Maybe she was upset because I had to flag her down because we had been sitting there waiting for someone to ask us if we wanted anything to drink. I asked for two coffees and two waters. She brought us the waters, and I never spoke to her again. Another waitress was kind enough to bring us our coffees after that. We waited a little while to order and yes, it was busy, but there were at least two or three people behind the bar at all times and I know they have other customers in the restaurant to serve so that doesn't bother me at all. So there was a third woman who took our order. We waited and waited and waited for our food. They did refill our coffee. After a while, I finally asked is our food coming? I was told let me go check by a fourth person. That fourth person returned and said that our food would be up soon. 10 minutes later I asked again if our food was coming. I understand certain things that take a long time like any of the pancake soufflés, but we did not order any soufflé pancakes. When I asked the second time when our food was coming, again, that person went to the kitchen to ask. When that person came back, they said oh it's not ready because you ordered the steak. The exact same thing they told me the last time we were here five years ago as to why our food was taking so long. I order my steak, medium rare every time it does not take that long to make a medium rare steak. Regardless, when I got my food, it was delicious. They forgot the side order of potatoes (because God forbid steak and eggs comes with potatoes) but I told them not to worry about it because I didn't wanna have to wait another 30 minutes to get them. My entree also came with a crêpe, and when they asked me what kind of crêpe I wanted, I asked for a Nutella crêpe. You know what they give you? A bone dry crêpe with whipped cream and a few drops of Nutella. I'm pretty sure that Nutella is supposed to go inside the crêpe not just a couple drops on top of it with a big giant dollop of whipped cream. And just because I feel like it, you know what's really low rent for a place with these prices? Tossing a to-go plastic disposable container of A1 on the plate with the steak and eggs. Seriously? You don't have a small little ceramic ramekin that you could at least put the A1in? I feel like that was put there just to fill up the plate because they don't give you any potatoes. Kind of a classless move. So like I said before, the food was very good and I'm sure it always will be. But when the waitress looks at you like you ruined her day, it reminds me why I haven't come back for years. Then when I really WANT to support that local business again, history of repeats itself. I don't like being blamed for my food taking forever because it's what I ordered. That is completely ridiculous and not the customers fault. So just be prepared for dirty looks and even if it's not that busy you're still gonna wait a long time for your food and maybe it'll be worth it but that's up to you.

    A cute lunch spot. They have really good pastries, last time we tried the strawberry pie and it was…read moreso yummy. I also like their chai latte. We got a quick lunch a couple of days ago and I've got to try their Chinese chicken salad, it's their version with a crispy chicken, and has peaches, it was pretty good. It's always so packed, which is great for them, but it gets loud very quickly. Not really suitable for working or having a chat. I'd say it's more of a bite and go kind of place. But their pastry section is definitely worth a visit.

    Claudine is a busy cafe on a bustling strip of Ventura Blvd, sharing the block with several other…read morepopular restaurants -- thankfully, there's a parking lot with 2 hours free, so you can get yourself situated without much stress. The modern, fast-casual spot features a wide array of baked goods (all looking fantastic) and a menu of all-day breakfast dishes, sandwiches, burgers, quiches, and a range of other options. You order at the counter with a friendly host, then wait at your table for a runner to bring your food, which arrives pretty quickly. The crowd is a mix of young parents with kids, Hollywood types having script meetings, and all sorts of friends having a meal and catching up. It's lively and a bit loud, but you can also sit outside if that suits you more. My wife and I both ordered breakfast for lunch, with her opting for a pancake. Large, malty and nicely cooked, this was a good-looking and filling flapjack that could be improved with the addition of fresh butter and warm syrup (rather than the pre-prepped plastic ramekin of room temp syrup). I ordered the Hashtag: a skillet of Hash Browns topped with Bacon, Cheddar, Jalapeños and a pair of Over-Medium Eggs. The potatoes were nicely crisped in the skillet, with the bacon adding a smoky depth that paired well with the richness of the cheddar and the spice of the jalapeño. The very-properly-prepared eggs had yolks just gooey enough to become a sauce for the layered hash below, and making for a very appealing savory/spicy bite. I also appreciated the size of the portion, which was moderate rather than over-abundant; that keeps the price reasonable and allows the components of the dish to work together without anything becoming overwhelming. In the end, Claudine is a reliable place for a casual meal with friends; a place where you can relax and feel at home while away from home.

    My partner and I happened to be in the area while my car was at Tires Plus (which, by the way, is a…read moregreat place to get maintenance done--just make sure to book an appointment! However, they do take walk-ins). Since we had some time to kill, we decided to grab a bite nearby, and we're so glad we did because we stumbled upon this gem!! They offer both indoor and outdoor seating, and from the moment we walked in, everyone welcomed us like we were regulars. It was such a warm, friendly atmosphere. Zoe took amazing care of us and was an absolute joy throughout our visit. Thank you Zoe!! We started with the Dr. Feel Good wellness shot, which Zoe actually made fresh herself. I really appreciated that it was housemade instead of coming from a prepackaged bottle--it felt fresh and intentional. And DID THE JOB! For food, we ordered the Humble Bee Animal Style and the Farm Boy with turkey sausage. Everything was incredibly flavorful, fresh, and satisfying. And those pancakes... I'm still thinking about them! This is definitely a place worth trying. Between the generous portions, welcoming service, fresh quality ingredients, and reasonable prices, it's an easy spot to recommend. We'll absolutely be back!

    Went with a friend for breakfast. We both had water for beverages, I added a coffee. Delish. I had…read morethe eggs Benedict with sausage and salad. Friend had ham and egg omelette with potatoes. His omelette looked really good and nicely plated. I saw it having large cubes of ham, with a French folded omelette as he cut into it. This is where I focus on my dish though and I'm a plating nut! The Benedict sauce beautifully draped over the poached eggs. I could have gone with just another 30 seconds on the eggs, as I do like a thicker ooze of yolk, but I'm not complaining. The muffin was tasty and chewy, nicely made. The sausage was perfectly salted and added a nice richness to the entire bite. The salad. This salad was pickled cabbage in beet juice. Shredded carrot, wild lettuce and a side of balsamic dressing. It didn't need the dressing. I drizzled a tiny amount but barely a teaspoon. The entire eggs Benedict with salad is a definite crave-able breakfast dish. The service was very nice.

    Went here last Saturday and we arrived at 10:30am and added our name in the waitlist. In less than…read more5 mins we were seated. Since it's only me and my youngest son we were seated in a 2top. When we arrived there were options for indoor or outdoor but we prefer to sit inside. You can order using the QR code or through the server. I ordered chai latte and my son got mocha latte, for food we ordered 2 items to share - breakfast quesadillas and brunch carbonara. The brunch carbonara is my choice as I liked that it uses Arborio rice and all the elements of a carbonara but what elevated the dish was the green sauce all around the plate so you can mix it. The poached eggs were perfectly cooked and placed on top so you can imagine it soaked up on the rice. Very filling! I switched plates with my son and he also liked my order. If I were to recreate this at home I'll definitely put more bacon. In The breakfast quesadilla is also flavorful and it comes with 3 sauces. I only tasted it but we had this to go as it was also a huge serving. The drinks are good value the price. Overall experience here better than the Tarzana location (which is now closed). Note that this is a semi self service place which is why they adjusted their options for tip. We ordered via the QR code so we paid before we got the service. We left around 11:30 and the restaurant is now full and had a longer wait time.
