John O' Groats

"Rancho Park’s longstanding daytime spot John O’ Groats feels a bit like a country cottage transported to Los Angeles. The biscuits are a major draw, served in various forms ranging from bacon cheddar to chocolate chip, while pancakes and eggs dominate the rest of the morning fare. Sidle up to the counter, order some coffee, and pull out a book for a wonderfully relaxed breakfast." - Cathy Chaplin, Eater Staff

"This no frills, family owned eatery has been argued by many to be the best breakfast/brunch on the Westside. Although the family named the restaurant after a tiny village in the north of Scotland, the fare is decidedly American comfort food. They have a great variety of specialty pancakes and egg dishes, including the Huevos O’Groats - a biscuit dough tortilla topped with black beans, sautéed onions and peppers, two eggs, shredded cheese, sour cream and salsa. Their biggest standout may be their biscuits as they are always prepared to order. This place is no secret to the masses though, so be prepared for a bit of a wait especially on weekends." - Clever Creative

"If you know—or are—a person who grew up on the Westside, John O’Groat’s is more than just a diner. It’s a place where you might have lost your first tooth or went every Saturday after soccer practice and ate buttermilk pancakes until your parents cut you off. That homey, small-town charm remains. Everyone inside this classic American diner on Pico is either reading the newspaper, swapping hot neighborhood gossip, or eating Biscuits From Heaven until they’re ready to nap. Yes, they’re actually called Biscuits From Heaven and yes, that’s an accurate description." - nikko duren, brant cox, sylvio martins, garrett snyder

"John O’Groats feels like a small-town restaurant that your family’s been going to for decades, the one where the owners still think you’re in high school even though they were at your wedding. And that’s exactly the kind of comfort you need right now. Everyone inside this classic American diner on Pico is either reading the newspaper, swapping neighborhood gossip, or eating the Biscuits From Heaven until they can’t anymore. Yes, they’re actually called Biscuits From Heaven and yes, it’s an accurate description. " - brant cox

"This is exciting. Someone just got out and abandoned their car in front of you on Pico and it’s unclear if they’re coming back. Follow them. Because they’re probably going to John O’Groats. The West LA breakfast staple is like walking into that one restaurant in your hometown you always go to because the owners used to babysit your parents in the ’50s. It’s warm, welcoming, and those biscuits are all you need on a rainy day. " - Brant Cox
