"Little Griddle, for me. I like a little sweet-savory breakfast, so I’ll get their sausage egg biscuit and a chocolate chip pancake and it sets me up nicely for a mid-afternoon nap." - Thom Hilton

The Best Ham Steaks at LA Diner Restaurants - Eater LA

"At the Griddle, ham comes in a variety of forms, but only one size: gigantic. The best way to enjoy the sturdy slice here is the Poached y Papas Benedict, a truly delightful desecration of the Benedict. Two poached eggs are left to skate in a bath of hollandaise on top of an ice rink-sized slab of seared ham, and instead of a split English muffin the whole thing is set on top of four equal quarters of fried potato skin. Add half an avocado for another $1.95. Taken together the dish is near-perfect in its diner gluttony. Creamy, salty, and crunchy in all the right spots, it’s a creation that deserves its own shine." - Farley Elliott
