1st time this morning, Brioche French toast was 3 stars, looked good, but bread was actually kinda hard instead of pillowy soft, not terrible, but not good either because of hardness. Scrambled eggs 5 stars, no complaints, Bacon 4 stars, I've had better, not bad. They have a green salsa if you ask for it, Service 4 stars was good enough Ambiance 4.5 stars, had a good vibe, big open place, parking is behind the front with ample spaces. Overall 4 stars, will go back and try something else. read more

The Pan - The Pan French Toast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Lomita, California

Some of the worst customer service ever from everyone working inside the restaurant. The woman in the front who seats people is miles ahead in customer service than anyone inside. She was amazing. All 3 tables around us got their food before us. All 3 tables had to send back their food because it was either wrong or incorrect. Place looks well staffed but everyone seems miserable aside from the woman outside. Our food was also wrong. Out of 4 dishes 2 of them were wrong. If you order anything sweet, food or drink, expect heavy amounts of syrup. Not homemade syrups. Maybe hersheys or maybe wal mart brand. Not sure. Very synthetic. Hey at least the food looks great. The ambiance is great. The service is bad. The wait time is even worse. Waiting for a table is understandable. Waiting an hour for your food after being seated is not. Does not help when the server is rolling her eyes the whole time, and with an angry face the entire time. She was like that when we walked in so i know it wasnt us. Parking: 0/10 Wait time: 0/10 Service inside: 0/10 Service outside: 11/10 Food look: 10/10 Food taste: 3/10 Drink look: 10/10 Drink taste: 0/10 Also the table next to us which was a small group spent their entire time talking about how bad th service and food is. Once we were served we tried to form our own opinion. Unfortunately it was identical. Very dissapointed read more

I recently visited The Pan and unfortunately had a very disappointing experience. The host, Delcey, was extremely rude and lacked basic customer service manners. From the moment we arrived, her attitude was unwelcoming and dismissive, which set a negative tone for the entire visit. Good hospitality starts at the front door, and this was far from it. I hope management addresses this, because no customer should feel uncomfortable or disrespected just for walking in. read more

Came here for an early mothers day brunch for the first time and was impressed by the great service, beautiful decor and delicious food and chai latte! Even got and extra pancake for Mother's Day. The chai was delicious and so was the strawberry pancakes. I asked for extra crispy bacon in my scramble and it was actually perfectly crispy. read more

I ended up going to The Pan over the holidays for the first time. They have a really exciting and tempting variety of pancakes. I couldn't make up my mind between the raspberry pancakes or the pineapple upside down pancakes. I ended up going for the pineapple pancakes and they did not disappoint! I ordered eggs and crispy bacon to accompany my pancakes but honestly they didn't need anything with them. I really only wanted to spend my time eating the pancakes. We sat at the bar our first time there because it does get busy. I'm glad I did because I met Meagan who was bartending that day. She was fabulous! I didn't know what drink to order and she suggested this chocolate or coffee cinnamon drink. You can see it in my picture. It was mouth watering delicious!! I ended up coming back after Christmas just so I could get that drink again. The restaurant is a nice size inside, clean, and the decor adds to the feeling of comfort and it's welcoming there. It's definitely a place you could bring friends and family. read more

This location is a nice size and has great menu offerings. Love their breakfast menu and the options to upgrade to specialty pancakes. We ordered the signature scramble, the kielbasa scramble, and upgraded to the specialty pancakes - lemon dream pancake and cinnamon roll pancake. Everything was absolutely delicious and tasted as great as imagined. Totally appreciated our service - the waitress was amazing and extremely attentive. She gave us open and honest feedback regarding her thoughts on menu options she has. I look forward to returning and love that it's a local breakfast spot. read more

Horrible takeout experience as a first time customer. Pre-ordered in advance and they cancelled my order right when I arrived at the restaurant for pickup. If you can't fulfill the order, why wait so long to cancel? Instead was left scrambling for other options. Will not be returning. read more

Such a cute brunch spot! There was a DJ on Sunday while the football games were going on. Considerate that the music was not super loud so people could still have their normal conversations. There were endless options on the menu. The service was fast, but our waters were not checked to be refilled. When I actually could use some more water, we were leaving. I got the Short Rib Benedict, which was recommended by our server between the two choices I was trying to decide from. It did not disappoint! I loved how it was not super heavy and loved that it was on top of corn cakes. The poblano sauce was delicious! I tried a bite of my friends shrimp n' grits & it was also good. Definitely a hearty meal. The steak 'n' eggs were also good. Although the steak was overcooked from how it was ordered. My friends also loved the Charlie Brown Pancakes & the breakfast burger. read more

Love the Pan . Ordered food to go, so I didn't see it til I got home. Paid $4.00 extra for the avocado for my husband. I'm allergic, so I don't eat it. I don't think it's supposed to be black inside though??? Looks gross to me, not even appealing. Why would they even use it? Since it was 'to go'?? The breakfast burrito was good from what I can tell. read more

The Pan - Lomita: A Southern Charmer Serving Elevated Comfort Food! Stepping into The Pan, you're immediately greeted with that quintessential Southern charm decor--it's cozy, comfortable, and the service? Top notch! This spot perfectly executes American comfort food with some serious flair and hearty twists. Forget basic hash browns; we're talking dishes elevated with unique ingredients and careful prep. We dove straight into two of their most talked-about signature dishes, and let me tell you, every bite was a revelation. What We Devoured: Shrimp 'N' Grits: A total favorite among regulars, and now, us! The Cajun-seasoned shrimp and andouille sausage are perfectly portioned over creamy, cheesy savory grits. The flavors are bold, balanced, and instantly satisfying. The Pan French Toast (Combo): Not your average breakfast staple. They use thick-cut, batter-dipped brioche that's served with a side of heavenly vanilla butter and powdered sugar. We opted for the combo, paired with two perfectly cooked eggs and crispy bacon strips. Fluffy, flavorful, and filling--loved every single bite! The Vibe & Sips: Sips: We indulged in a couple of mimosas--one classic orange juice flavor and a strawberry one--both were refreshing. The coffee was nice, too! Atmosphere: Casual and relaxed, it totally fits the style of food they serve. The pricing is super reasonable for the quality and portion sizes you get. Whether you're hitting up the Lomita location for their dinner options or brunching it up, this place is a must-visit for anyone craving delicious, well-crafted comfort food. Highly recommend! read more

The service here is consistently great. The servers and hostess always make us feel welcomed. Parking can sometimes be challenging depending on the time you go on the weekends. Place is clean, level of noise is good so you can have a conversation without feeling like you are too loud. We've had Carly serve us a few times and shes always been attentive. Our favorite are the blueberry pancakes. read more

My husband and I stopped by The Pan around noon on a weekday and were seated immediately. We ordered a breakfast burrito, Cubano, and a mocha frappe. We thought the food was very filling--I have no idea how "authentic" my Cubano was, but I nevertheless thought my sandwich was tasty (some of the pork was a bit dry). Prices were reasonable for the generous portions. read more

Such a deep menu! I had original tots and added pineapple pancakes, but subbed the syrup for coconut syrup. So good. The pancakes come with some delightful melted butter with the syrup, giving it a nice salty and sweet combo. Service was super friendly and fast. It's a chill place you could hang with your group and chat. There's a parking lot in back. read more

The loaded hash browns are the best thing to share for the table! I loved my stuffed French toast too, especially because it wasn't overly sweet. Service was attentive and friendly.

My family and I had a big group--party of 10. On a Sunday, I would think it'd take a long time to wait for a table, but it wasn't too bad. Waited for less than 30min despite the number of parties ahead of us. Seems like they're organized and are good with time management. Staff and friendly and made sure we were updated on the wait time. We appreciated the quick service and attentiveness. The food we had was flavorful and plentiful!!! Worth the price of each dish. We had the shrimp n grits, short rib Benedict, Ultimate crepe, Charlie Brown chocolate pancakes, steak n eggs. Chorizo omelette, guava pancake and pineapple upside down pancake too, etc. There was a DJ who took requests via IG, which was cool. I liked the music while grubbin'. We will definitely go back there! read more

Tried out The Pan for a Sunday brunch and was greeted by a very bubbly host. She let us know that there was a bit of a wait and would shoot us a text once a table freed up. She jokingly gave us the option to bear the heat of the sun with her or to stay in our cars during the wait. We opted for the AC and the wait was no longer than 15 minutes that day. My +1 and I opted for the lumberjack breakfast which was more than enough food for each of us. This included 2 sausage links, 2 bacon stripes, 2 eggs, half a plate of potatoes and 2 pancakes. I took practically half of my order because is was too much for me. Food was good and the pancakes were the highlight of the meal. They were super dense. The restaurant itself was charming as well. They have high loft ceilings and decored to look kind of like you are outside (one full wall looking like the outside of the building.) Another wall was super cute with dog names and decor. Would definitely come here again. I was also tempted to buy a 'The Pan' coffee mug. read more

This place is so well decorated. Loved the vibe and the friendly service. They make you feel at home. Parking is limited but you can park accross the street in the other shopping center. Food was delish. There was a little mistake on the bill but they immediately addressed that to me and was resolved right away. Joann is a pleasant and professional server! read more

I really thought The Pan was going to be a diner but it sure wasn't. I remember when the space used to be a Thai restaurant but seriously it's huge. My friend and I came yesterday for lunch. Parking is plentiful in the back and we were immediately greeted and seated when we entered. Our server came over pretty quickly which is awesome because my friend and I are people who peruse the menu before arriving and already know what we will order. I got the shrimp n'grits and my friend ordered the steak and eggs. We both got the eggs over easy. Did I say we love that breakfast is served all day?? Both dishes were huge portions and delicious. Of note there is no white bread available with lunch. I didn't think I could finish the entire plate but I did and I was still full at dinner time Our server was very efficient and came by to see if we needed anything before she was going to be busy with a large group Great experience! Great food and we can't wait to try the other dishes on this extensive menu read more

This is a solid place to go for breakfast and lunch! We always come here whenever we have a craving for brunch. You cannot go wrong with any of their items. I got their pastrami sandwich and would order it again. It was massive and holding it with my hands was difficult. It wasn't too salty, the added egg made the entire sandwich delicious. I just wish it came with a side of fries so I took some from my friend's plate instead lol. Both of them liked their choices as well. The service was fast and everyone is always so polite. Given the size of the restaurant, it is very easy to hold a conversation without feeling the need to yell as well. Highly recommend this place ! read more

Wonderful place. We were immediately greeted by a nice young woman. Then shown to our table. The menu had lots of tasty offerings. We ordered and the food took maybe 10 minutes. Fast! Large portions too. The server was very nice. She also shared a love for the Chicken Posole soup. It came with tortilla chips to immerse in your soup. The House Salad was very good with croutons, tomatoes, lettuce, red onions, cucumbers, and a House dressing. The Tiramisu Pancakes had whipped cream, cocoa powder, crunch topping that was sweet, Tiramisu chocolate filling, and Espresso taste. Exceptionally good everything! A lovely French Bistro! The best time is like 1:30. Very quiet then. After the crowd has left. Also they have a rewards program. Which is very nice. Highly recommended. read more

The Pan - Buttermilk Fried Chicken - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Lomita, California

1/5 Save your money and time and go somewhere else. Me and my partner gave this location a try. We ordered chicken and waffles, southern breakfast and additional 3 kinds of their specialty pancakes. First of all, their house coffee is a disappointment. Right of the bat i knew food ia not gonna be great after having the coffee. And we were right. The only thing thats edible on our table was the chicken. Their waffles are hard and dry. The pancakes are soaked in syrup. They put 2 bacons and one egg and mixed potatoes on that southern plate. Its horrible. We paid $65 usd for the breakfast. We still left a tip for the servwr who's been very nice and helpful. But overall, totally not recommended. Very disappointed. read more

I had sponty brunch with friends today. I was craving for something sweet so l ordered the tiramisu pancakes, it was mid, I requested some bananas to add more flavor to it. (I love tiramisu flavored-anything!). The clam chowder cup serving was huge for a cup. But too pepper-y. My friend had the hash brown loaded plate, it was okay -- a little salty for my taste. The crepe looked good! I was not able to try it but I bet it's good since my friend ate 'em all!! Our server was accommodating too. Would come back to try the short rib egg benedict plate as recommended by my friendster! A good place to fill your day with good food and chisme! | enjoyed the decorations and high ceiling. read more

Love breakfast focused joints. This is one of the ones local in the area. I know there is now 2 "The Pans" in the area, and the other one is frankly closer to me, but I thought we'd go to the OG one in the area. There are plenty of tables, and the wait staff is great. The wait staff was attentive and ensured the coffee remained full. There is a parking lot in the rear and there were 2 open stalls so it wasn't a problem, but the parking lot seems a bit small if the place was really busy- though you can park on the side street as well. I got the loaded hashbrowns, which was pretty big and I ate only half - to save the other for later. The lemon pancakes were also a large portion and tasted great. We don't go get breakfast too often, but this "The Pam" remains on the list. read more

Out of all the different locations of The Pan chain I really admire this location the best. Their food is spot on and I just love the home style set up. The service was awesome. We went for the 1 hr bottomless mimosas and the waitress had a very generous pour. The food is the star of the show, I absolutely love their shrimp and grits. The dish is very savory, not too heavy and the shrimp has so much flavor. I like to pair the shrimp and grits or the loaded hash brown with pancakes on the side and try the different flavors. I've tried the guava and cinnamon pancakes before and sooo yummy. This is a great date brunch spot or lunch with the family. read more

This was my husband's first time here, and my first time trying the unlimited mimosas for an hour--and let me tell you, I was not ready! We originally went to the Artesia/Gardena location, and while the host was super sweet, the space was just too small for us. So, we headed to the Lomita location, and OMG--night and day difference. It's so much more spacious, and the vibe is just chef's kiss--calm, welcoming, and just what we needed. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with the warmest smile (I wish I got her name because she was a sweetheart!). And our waitress, Megan? 10/10. She was ON IT the whole time. Now, let's talk about the mimosas--freaking amazing. Like, dangerously good. And the food? WOW. I got the Original Loaded Hashbrowns with sourdough toast, and it was everything I wanted--crispy, cheesy, and just so satisfying. My husband went for the LV's Green Chili Hash with sourdough toast, and let's just say... he was in love. So much so that he straight-up declared this our new weekly spot... and you KNOW I'm happy about that! Overall, just an amazing experience. Counting down the days 'til we're back next week--wish it was already here! read more

Fun menu. Great staff! Everyone was friendly and welcoming. Chill vibe to just have a good meal!

Food is okay, some things off the beaten path but still not bad. The problem with this place opening in a well established little town like Lomita where the locals have grown up with a local restaurant nearby that is 5 stars. So in order to make it a business must be excellent is every way. The service is less than half of what it takes to make the place exciting enough for them to change the place they would normally go to. The waitress' were spending too much time talking in their kitchen rather than doing their job. At least that's how I feel about this location. I had been to another location and it was spot on and that's why I gave them a chance. read more

When I arrived in LA to visit my fam, my brother (a fellow foodie) raved so much about the Pan that it sounded almost too good to be true. We ventured out to the Lomita location a few days later and it more than exceeded expectations! I had the meatloaf burger which was slightly overseasoned/salted, but the sweet potato fries were delish. Other family members got the carne asada fries and shortrib eggs Benedict which they raved about. Ambiance and decor are charming, service is attentive and we didn't have to wait overly long. This is the place for brunch or lunch in LA! read more

We go to The Pan about twice a month. The food is solid and the prices are reasonable. We tend to get happy hour deals. The pizza is half price and they also have bottomless mimosas at a great deal. All of their breakfasts are really good with generous portions. The place is comfortable and gets pretty busy on the weekends so we usually go during the week. The servers are very friendly and do a good job helping each other. We especially like Karly, who always makes us feel welcomed. The bus boy is great as well and stops to talk and lend a hand when it gets busy. read more
