Pann's

One of L.A.’s last prominent examples of Googie architecture, Pann’s is as much about the vibes as it is about the cuisine. Fortunately, the former late-night spot at the border of Inglewood and Westchester pulls no punches in the culinary department; it’s home to some of the best Southern-style fried chicken in the city, plus other all-day breakfast fare like pancakes, waffles and the increasingly hard-to-find ham steak. In the morning, pair the crispy, well-seasoned fried chicken with waffles (of course). Another equally great option is the hefty country-fried steak, which comes with a fluffy biscuit. On weekdays, expect a scene of travelers on their to or fresh from LAX, plus blue-collar workers and other regular folks. Late Sunday mornings bring out a heavy after-church crowd, so put your name down and make some friends while you wait.
