"Pann’s is a space age-style diner in Ladera Heights where long-time regulars who brag about their grandchildren can be found eating waffles on a Wednesday morning. The 64-year-old landmark of Googie glory is filled with red leather booths, a long line of bar stools overlooking the kitchen, and families sharing plates of golden fried chicken. The breakfast and lunch items are equally great here, so drop in anytime before 3pm daily for a stack of hotcakes, biscuits and gravy, or a tuna melt with housemade onion rings. But the main draw here is the charming atmosphere—you’ll instantly feel like you’ve stepped onto a mid-century movie set." - brant cox, sylvio martins, garrett snyder
