    ABSOLUTELY BEST BREAKFAST ON SUNSET!!! Friendly staff. Be ready to wait for a table a little while if you came early in the morning. Quite crowded but totally worth it!

    Good place in Silver Lake for sure! I try the Machaca and was really good. The guacamole have a good taste and also the beans. If you want something with little Mexican flavor, this is the place.

    Jam-packed menu with delicious, classic breakfast items and some with an innovative (and non-meat) twist. Opt to sit inside in front of the cooks. It's mesmerizing to watch them at work.

    This classic Silver Lake breakfast spot continues to endure despite decades of development around Sunset Junction. There's nothing as reliable as Millie's in Silver Lake. Read more

    The "Devil's Mess" is a sloppy, spicy hangover cure with no frills, save the dollop of guacamole on top (which, let's be honest, isn't exactly a "frill" so much as a necessity). Read more

    It's all pretty good - have tried the burritos, the buckwheat pancakes, steak fajitas & salmon Benedict - all good. And the service is super friendly and quick.

    Breakfast was awesome. Have been twice and had pancakes both times. Got the short stack. Toasted coconut was my favorite. The banana walnut was also good.

    There will be a wait, but live with it. It’s probably the best diner I’ve ever been to. Order the devil’s mess... Also, the biscuits and rosemary potatoes. You’ve got your work cut out for you here. Read more

    Get the vegan version of their famous "Devil's Mess" - or if you just want sides, the homemade muffin-shaped biscuit and crusty griddled rosemary potatoes are can't-misses.

    Their breakfast burrito is great but what makes it amazing is habanero salsa, ask the waiter for the bright green habanero salsa (it's pretty spicy hit full of flavor)

    Sarah Silverman said "That biscuit was so good" but she also asked "who do we have to blow for menus?" Jerry Seinfeld said this place suffers from "Hipster Service" I don't think he knows any hipsters

    Since 1926, a silver lake staple. I was in a constant race to finish my bottomless coffee before the guys came to refill it. And I was happy to lose every time.

    If you adore smoked salmon, the Neptune's Mess will become your favorite breakfast as it has been mine for well over a decade. Strong coffee, great biscuits, yummy taters round it off.
