    Delicious, great priced country breakfast! Make sure you get Sam's special coffee- half vanilla nut coffee, half hot chocolate, 100% incredible.

    Great little place! Cash only... so it is cheap. The 'build your own breakfast' is fantastic, there are so many choices! Delicious homemade biscuits and hash.

    S&W is an East Coast-style option with hearty main dishes like biscuits and gravy. The long lines are a testament to the place’s enduring success as a spot for awesome, giant plates of comfort food. Read more

    Really great service here. And they do a nice job at consistently delivering an egg poached medium for their Eggs Benedict!

    Try their homemade corned beef hash, grits, and biscuits with gravy or if you're feeling like having lunch, they have all the staples like BLTs and grilled cheese. Read more

    1st I must say the food is good n the prices are right BUT the service SUCKS w/the exception 1 waitress who was pretty nice. I stood for 20 min without being help. Looks like it will be take out only.

    Cheap & good living hand in hand in a small-town diner style atmosphere that manages to be cute, not kitschy or overwrought. They have perfected the hash brown, by the way.

    Opens at 7am. Bring coins to feed the meter. Cash only. If it's busy, sign in at the front "hostess" stand. They automatically split the bill per person. Fast service. Great food. No frills. No fuss.

    Love eating here - the dishes are not tiny and the food is good for a reasonable price. The best in Culver City - Cash Only keeps the cost down :)

    It makes you feel like you've been transported to a sleepy town in the 1950s. A large retro Coca Cola sign and a Route 66 sign hang on a pale green wall, surrounded by red leather booths. Read more

    Order the pancakes or French toast... Skip the eggs and save room for the pork sausage patties & hash browns!

    The Build-a-Breakfasts can get pretty huge. Don't be afraid to split w/ a friend! That said, it's pretty awesome to have 3 items + toast all to yourself for $8.

    Bring cash. Get ready for GREAT coffee and country style breakfast. Buckwheat pancakes are delicious and so is the grilled or country-style chicken and eggs. Who cares which came first- just get here!

    Get the homemade corned beef and hash and order bacon and hash brown on the sides. Don't forget cash - they don't take credit cards. Also, make sure you get there early on the weekends to avoid lines.

    This is one of the best breakfast joints in LA. It's only open a couple hours a day, so come early!

    Great service , staff very friendly. Great atmosphere. Prices are average. Full French Toast is SMALL. portions are on the small side. The omelet was OK but potatoes were dry. I would not recommend.

    Best wait staff in town. But bring cash, that's all they take (ATMs across the street if you're stuck).

    Their diner coffee is surprisingly good, bacon/eggs/French toast never goes wrong. But stay away from the biscuits! They're square...

    You get what you pay for. Quick, cheap breakfast. Biscuits and gravy disappointing...less biscuit and more fluffy bread.

    Yet another mediocre diner that gets by on its attempt to re-create life in the 50s or something. They're so out of touch with reality that they don't even accept credit cards. Like, what gives?

    The biscuits are a monsterous square mound of fluff with a side of whipped butter.
