Just tried the Rosemary Chicken Omelet, the chicken was a little dry and under seasoned but the overall taste of the omelet was amazeballs!
Roger HillsJuly 28, 2019My daughter got sick here from the sunshine smoothie so watch out when you order smoothies. The food is good though. I called and told the manager and he said all their fruit is fresh. Whatever dude
JoySeptember 21, 2010I've been coming to Jinky's for many years and this is one of my favorite breakfast spots. Love trying different kinds of chili they have. Ask for samples if you're not sure which one to get.
Alibek DatbayevAugust 13, 2014Their brunches are awesome! Perfect price/quality range! Not expensive and very tasty!
MMay 10, 2012Curry chicken salad sandwich is yummy!! Our server, Heather, was awesome! Attentive, quick, friendly and knew her menu! Love Jinkys!
Theresa GApril 6, 2012sat at the counter and had great service! menu is ecclectic and they feature different chili and sausages daily. A little over priced but food was good.
Jarrod PrzebiedaDecember 13, 2018Had an incident with Misael Acosta that resulted in a threatening, abusive verbal altercation. I have been writing about it ever since it happened in the hope of reaching his boss, Alankar Verma.
David AllardyceOctober 19, 2013Great breakfast and friendly staff. Shame the outside seating is currently affected by nearby construction work.
Ryan RosarioJuly 23, 2012The password for the wifi is on a chalkboard in the northwest corner. It is written in.capital letters but it is actually all lowercase.
MotazOctober 24, 2017Pancakes and omelette awesome very good cafe but the service is under the average
Robert Gutierrez JrSeptember 15, 2013AM Breakfast Sandwich with Avocado & a side of sweet potatoes! 👊👌
They give complimentary samples of the various chili offerings of the day.... Boston Turkey was surprisingly bomb!!
Cherith ZanghiFebruary 20, 2014The pumpkin pancakes are made of dreams and fluffy downy pillows and joy.
David RoseboroughNovember 26, 2011If you love spicy there chili omelet with the devilo chili which is a 10+ all meat chili
Geraldine Smith WelchFebruary 21, 2014Lots of choices for breakfast...our party of three were all pleased.
Lex RJanuary 21, 2016Decent place. Good food, but nothing outstanding. Good portions. Very crowded. Cute restaurant
- Jarrod PrzebiedaDecember 13, 2018Misael Acosta, manager of the Santa Monica location, should not be in the customer service industry, and he DEFINITELY shouldn't be serving/handling food.
Omelettes here are incredible, built my own with avocado, chorizo, provolone and portabellos
VALERIA ManuelDecember 5, 2011Service was fast and the waiter was so attentive ...." I Love it " Open daily 7:30am to 3pm
Kathy JaggiJune 21, 2011Sloooooooooww service and my lox Benedict was cold, but the home fries are to die for.
ALAN’S FAVORITE spicy chilaquiles...red onions, tomatoes, bell peppers, cilantro, jalapenos, crushed pepper, Indian spicesand tortilla mushrooms and onions - YUM
Ok omelettes, comfy booths. Mediocre mochas. Not my favorite breakfast place, but when in Santa Monica....not bad.
