Salt's Cure

I definitely get why everyone talks about these griddle cakes so much! The cakes themselves are super unique with a really strong oatmeal flavor, and I absolutely love the crispy edges. The maple butter is the star of the show, though, taking the pancakes to a whole new level. As for the hashbrowns, they were just okay. Every time I see these fancy hashbrowns on a menu I already know they're not going to be as good as the classic kind you get at IHOP--but it was a fine salty pair for the super sweet pancakes

Stopped for a quick brunch here.I want to start off by saying that the restaurant's food didn't have that bad of a price tbh. The food tasted fine. It's just didn't have the kick to say "I want to come back" it's basic brunch that I can get anywhere else and no problem if I didn't come here.The griddle oatmeal pancakes were the best. Usual pancakes always gives the toughness but the griddle pancakes give bit more texture and it was delicious.The scrambled eggs look nothing special. They just look like typical scrambled eggs. However, good cheese taste and it was cooked well. The eggs weren't dry at all.The salmon toast was good. It's nothing special but good salmon toast.Hash browns were definitely crunchy with soft mashed potatoes on the inside.The service was hit or miss. They seem to kind of throw or slam things on the table which I didn't like? But they were nice and kept checking up on how the food were.

I love this place. The oat pancakes and the unique drinks are the lifesaver and reason they get my attention for sure. They also have great service. Parking is typical LA metered street parking and limited but if you leave nearby, walking is a huge plus. It's a cute ambiance with giving you and inside outside vibe and industrial but cozy.

Oof. This was a really bad experience. Came here for a work lunch and was thoroughly disappointed.Let's start with the positives. Street parking was oddly not hard to find. Interior was cool looking. French fries were the best thing we had out of what we ordered.On to the negatives. The service was downright appalling. Our server absolutely did not want to be there. She cleaned off our table and in doing so hit me a few times with the dirty cloth. She forgot our drinks order. She also had the most unpleasant attitude. I kept trying to give her the benefit of the doubt but she didn't do herself any favors.As for the food the salad made the other person at lunch sick and the pancakes they recommended were just okay.Wont be returning anytime soon.

My first time at Salt's Cure and I loved it. I went on a Sunday during brunch time around noon. We were sat quickly and noticed a couple empty tables. As we finished ordering, people were waiting for tables. We got lucky! I love a simple menu and love it when the food comes out like it's farm to table style. You order a burger and you get a burger. Everything was delicious and the coffee was good too. The server recommended the oatmeal griddle cakes and they were good. I would share the griddle cakes because it's more heavy and sweet. I definitely want to come back for their dinner menu! Great service and ambiance.

I think if you're like 23 and have a hangover and want to go to a trendy place with your friends that has cool music and Nas on the wall this place is for you but if you're middle aged and care more about the quality of food and service then maybe go to Republique. The pancakes are gooey af.

3.5 Food is delicious just like the Santa Monica location. This location is larger and has a more expansive menu. Great atmosphere, the only downside is the service. It's subpar at best and extremely slow. Waited almost an hour for the food and dealt with rude unaccommodating staff to top it off. Don't think I'll ever return to this specific location, not worth it.

I read on reddit that this place has one of the best B.L.A.T. sandwiches in LA so I decided to drop by. Unfortunately, it was not on the current menu therefore I had to pivot :(However, everything here was absolutely delicious!! We arrived with our dog and they were super friendly to our little girl, providing water for her (without even asking), and allowing us to sit where ever we pleased. We went for a pretty simple breakfast order but was amazed by EVERYTHING.ALL-STAR - The OG pancakes is not something I would ever order or try but these were delicious. They are hearty yet light at the same time. The sausage patties were divine, prefectly juicy with a savory bite. The eggs were cooked to perfection. The BACON, the bacon, the bacon was so good. They are super thick cut but still crispy while also tender (if that even makes sense?!). SIDE AVOCADO - Absolutely approciate a seasoned avocado.SIDE BISCUITS - Biscuits can be difficult to get right because most places make them on the dryer side. However, this one was so moist and buttery! At first I was going to ask for butter on the side but after taking a bite, I realized it did not need any at all. The seasonal jam was a bit on the tart side but i prefer that over something super sweet. I absolutely will come back for the hash browns and biscuits and gravy, as we were too full to order those!

I came here to have brunch with some friends who absolutely love this place and I can see why. It's quite a delightful restaurant!Upon walking in, you'll notice that the restaurant is very open and airy and you have a choice of sitting in a enclosed cozy patio area, at one of the tables inside, at a bar or at a long communal table. I heard so much about their oatmeal griddle cakes so I got those and figured it would be a light brunch since I wasn't having any sausages or bacon with it. I was wrong. These griddle cakes are quite hearty and so tasty! When they were served to me, I was expecting to get a side of maple syrup to pour over them but my friends told me that the molasses butter was all that I needed. I was skeptical at first but after the first bite I realized I was wrong. It was just the perfect amount of sweetness!My friends were telling me that Salt's Cure sells the mix for these griddle cakes but for some reason my friends could never get the griddle cakes to turn out the same way the restaurant serves them. My guess is the restaurant cooks them on the same surface they cook the bacon and sausage on so they're using a lot of that grease to get the griddle cakes crispy on the edges yet soft and fluffy on the inside. If that's not the case, then they're using a generous amount of oil to cook them in to get them crispy. Whatever it is, these griddle cakes are so delicious. Maybe the next time I'm there for brunch, I'll build up my appetite and get their All Star breakfast that has the sausage, bacon, eggs and the oatmeal griddle cakes!

Although I'm not a fan of Food Network personality/chef Bobby Flay, I did see the show he did with his daughter (a USC alum) where they came here for breakfast. I was actually staying closer to the West Hollywood branch of Breakfast by Salt's Cure (which also has locations in Santa Monica plus 2 in New York), but came here to Salt's Cure because it has a larger menu, more seating and takes reservations. They open at 9 am for breakfast; I was the first customer. Signage outside is small and easily missed. Several of the adjacent buildings say "Bond" on them; my waitress said they are a large entertainment marketing agency. Salt's Cure is famous for their griddle cakes; here they only serve the original version, while Breakfast by SC has about 9 varieties including vegan options. I ordered the most bountiful breakfast, the All Star, which includes 2 sausages, 2 bacon (I think I got 3-4), 2 eggs, a biscuit with jam and 2 OG griddle cakes. I added their hash browns with slow n' low ketchup, plus half an avocado with chili salt. Everything was delish and substantial. The meats are house-made, as are the biscuit, jam, hash browns and ketchup. The griddle cakes come with a molasses cinnamon butter and NO syrup (don't even ask for it!). I'm not sure if the bacon here is the same as at Breakfast by SC, because there they call it picnic ham. And the hash browns, gorgeous thick fried wedges, seem exclusive to SC; Breakfast by SC has home fries. Service was just okay, despite the lack of customers, but I would return. Street parking is pretty easy on a weekday morning
