"Pann’s is a space-age-style diner where Ladera Heights regulars, tourists, and old friends can be found eating fresh biscuits and gravy on a Wednesday morning. The 64-year-old institution is filled with red leather booths, a long line of bar stools overlooking the kitchen, and at least one waitress who will call you “honey.” Between 8am and 3pm every day, you can drop in for a stack of hotcakes, fried pork chops, or a tuna melt with a side of homemade onion rings. But the main draw here is definitely the charming atmosphere—you’ll instantly feel like you’ve stepped onto a retro mid-century movie set." - brant cox, nikko duren, garrett snyder, sylvio martins
