Wavy Gravy Cafe•Diner

Breakfast Poutine / fries, scrambled eggs, brown gravy, sausage, cheese, salsa - 5🌟! Sweet Potato Pecan Pie - 5🌟! I was in Highland Park looking around the shops for some gifts and thought it would be fun to randomly pick a spot to eat lunch. Wavy Gravy Cafe wasn't on my radar but it sounded fun and interesting so I stopped in. What a lovely place it turned out to be. I am from Western Canada and Canada has very few dishes that we call our own. Poutine (more of a Quebec/Eastern Canada creation) is our one claim to fame and Wavy Gravy's menu features a delightful and delicious selection of poutine dishes. The classic poutine is fries (usually thicker cut), brown gravy, and cheese curds. It works as a great base for creative chefs. I was drawn to the breakfast poutine. The combination of gravy, sausage, eggs, cheese and fries was excellent. I was super happy with my meal. They have a larger menu that features all-day breakfast and plenty of cafe style dishes like burgers and sandwhiches. But if you have never had poutine before and are poutine-curious, they certainly honor the original and make it fun with all the different combos. I had a slice of their pie of the day, which was sweet potato pecan. Super delicious and a perfect pairing with the poutine plate. The cafe itself is small and cozy with a colorful modern decor. It could also be a bit hard to see from the street. Street parking seemed to be fairly easy here. It gets tougher a few blocks down where all the shops start popping up.

I'll start of by saying I'm from Montreal, Quebec and my partner has also lived there so we've had our fair share of poutine in Canada. So when LAist has an article about poutine in LA, we had to come try this one. It looked good in the photos and it's only 15min from our place, done. We each for the hamburger poutine and the gravy and fries were spot on. It was probably the best sauce I've had on a poutine outside of Quebec. My partner tells me the cheese was good and squeaky as it should be. We also tried the NYC dog and it was delicious. Loved everything about it. Everyone we worked with there was very friendly. The restaurant even has Nanaimo bars and ketchup chips for sale! One suggestion to the owners/chef - please, please make a pastrami poutine to also get us a version close to a Montreal smoked meat poutine! 🤤

Good diner type of place. Inside is modern and stylish. Decent amount of seating. There's also a few tables in front. There's a lot on the menu. They have burgers, poutine, sandwiches, tacos, hot dogs, and they also do breakfast. Service is good. Friendly staff. There's street parking up and down the block.

Wavy Gravy Cafe is a charming hole-in-the-wall gem, boasting minimal wait times and impeccable cleanliness. The friendly staff contributes to a welcoming atmosphere, creating a calm and relaxing dining experience. The quick service ensures your food arrives promptly, and the menu offers a variety of great options. Personally, the grilled cheese left me satisfied, while my friend raved about the amazing taste of the breakfast burrito. A delightful spot for a quick, enjoyable meal.

I am so happy with this restarant! I have been in this country for 10 year and this is one of the best I have been to so far! The service is good and everyone is always smiling this is how it should be. I wish it always like this! Thank you to girl who take my order, she very nice and professional. Good food. Five star.

This is a super cute little diner and a great new addition to the neighborhood. They have some classics along with some unusual spins on old favorites. Like so many in our community, I was devastated by the closing of Meea's hot dogs in Eagle Rock and wasn't keen on driving all the way to Pasadena for a sub-par hot dog fix (looking at you, Dog Haus 🤨). I was beginning to despair when I saw Wavy Gravy has an entire hot dog section of their menu. It did not disappoint!! Great french fries, too, and the Arnold Palmer slushie hit just right. I heard there may be events in the future. Looking forward to poetry readings while I wolf down a piping hot all beef hot dog.

I’m so happy Wavy Gravy has opened in our neighborhood! It fills a specific cuisine hole on York - they have a great selection and I love the slushies!

Cool, casual place run by great people. Friendly and helpful staff. The poutine hits, especially the gravy. I also loved the shrimp sandwich.
