Review from Richard M.

Funny thing about eat well. I used to frequent this seedy little joynt quite a bit. Breakfast was first but lunch always a close second. I don't know about all this roach infestation shit everyone talks about. I figure those morons should know what they're getting into when they pull a chair up just four feet from the gutter. Especially on one of the nastiest pieces of Sunset in LA. You idiots!
Now then. . . Where was I? Oh, the food. Really good place to eat and socialize. It's been awhile since I'd been there and I was thinking about taking a group one weekend. Someone said it was closed, then you couldn't get any details about why? I finally drove out there one evening only to find, it had burnt down. I didn't get close enough to read any signs or anything but I hope they'll be back. I really do. I miss you eat well. Really I do!
Ciao! -

Eat Well is the correct answer to the question, "Where do you want to have breakfast today, Greg?"
There is sometimes a bit of a wait to be seated, and the clientele is distinctly Silverlakey, but there is a broad array of choices on the menu, and nothing I have tasted here is disappointing. The chorizo and egg platter is a particular favorite, as it has more chorizo and less egg than analogous dishes at other establishments. The poached egg and smoked bacon breakfast really hits the spot as well (I have a weak spot for good bacon). The biscuits and gravy are slightly more bland than I would prefer, but still make a decent addition to a meal, especially if you are sharing with others. The coffee is good, if you can attract the attention of the guy who's pouring it.
Please don't come to Eat Well on a weekend - the line is already long enough as it is.Listed in: The Breakfast List

"CLOSED FOR INFESTATION AND HARBORANCE OF COCKROACHES" according to the sign.
Does "harborance" mean they were also smuggling them into or out of the country?

You actually feel like you're in a diner. But ... you're not. You're in hipster Silverlake being served by a girl with a mohawk. It's funny.
The food is as good as a good diner. And the service is about the same. I do recommend it. I eat here all the time. It's just "nothing fancy". Do expect to feel less cool than the staff and do expect loud eclectic music playing in the background. -

Walked in near noon on a Sunday and were seated immediately. The appropriately dressed (for the neighborhood) staff are friendly and pretty attentive, save the one who's manning the coffee pot refilling peoples' empty mugs. The menu has a perfect variety on its double sided laminated card, which included KOOL-AID as one of their beverages. So I'm not going to shell out $2.50 for a glass of the drink when I can pay the same price to get a cannister to make 1,000 servings, but I like their style.
The overall space is fairly large and looks pretty busy. Even so, food and service is quick, though the check is quick to getting to you too, but oh well, the place is bumpin' and you can't blame them for having good food.
The place is veggie friendly, and my veggie breakfast burrito is satisfying. The winner, however, is their chorizo and egg dish, which comes with your choice of corn or flour tortillas, Spanish rice, and BLACK (YAY!) beans along with the perfect blend of a generous portion chorizo and egg. Their biscuits and gravy are decent; its saving grace is the biscuit itself, for the gravy is a little on the thin and not-so-rich side.
Parking aside, I am sure to come here again, especially since I have a few homies living around the corner from the place.Listed in: Working on the Chain...Spots, Veggie Time!, Biscuits and Gravy

They blew it for me.
I mean I know a lot of people love Eat Well... So I don't mean to be the one guy with a poor rating but in all honesty we sat down to a really dirty table, waited forever just for water and the waiter was a total dick.
You know, like they are so busy that he doesn't need to try since someone else will sit at his table if we don't.
So we didn't. We got up and asked the host to kindly cancel our order since our waiter was nowhere to be found. I'm sure he didn't even miss us anyway. -

I stopped going to this Eat Well location because of the crowds, and although the food is "good", it isn't fantastic and certainly not worth the wait. Plus, parking sucks.
I do like their Cajun Chicken Melt sandwich, but when I crave it I go the Eat Well in Glendale - much less crowded (usually). -

Mmm...Eat Well Breakfast.
Whenever friends are in town, I always take them to Eat Well for breakfast. The food is vegetarian friendly, but good enough to fit the needs of my carnivorous boyfriend (this is a man who woud eat fried chicken for breakfast).
Staff is laid back and always friendly. Plus, lots to do in Silverlake afterwards. -

Soon, I will have conquered all breakfast eateries in Silver Lake.
Eat Well on Sunset was my most recent conquest and they panned out alright. It was a chilly Sunday afternoon, which may have contributed to the fact that it wasn't packed to the gills, and we easily snagged a table outside. Better for people watching I say. It did take a little while for someone to come over to take our drink orders but after that he was on us like bees on honey.
Coffee was average, Arnold Palmer was good.
Eggs Florentine was ehh but I think my eyes were craving something that my belly wasn't. Let's just say I've had better hollandaise.
Biscuits and gravy also left something to be desired...I was hoping for pieces of sausage in the mix, but it was still good.
Tyler was thrilled with his corn beef hash.
I left partially satisfied, although I think I may have been a picky eater that morning. Tyler left very pleased.
Need to go again to get an opinion when I'm not so picky. -

I dont remember the service...so it must not have been terrible.
I had a chili cheese burger and it rocked my socks.
leave it to me to eat a big slab of beef drenched in chili and cheese at a place called EAT WELL.
whatever...its good here. Go! -

Eat Well is one of my favorite breakfast places! You can sit outside, the food is solid and the staff does you right when they know for sure you are having a rough morning. You must try the chorizo & eggs...yum!
Now it appears to be LA's equivalent of The Pork Store on 16th, hungover hipster central. -

I *heart* this fine establishment!
Sometimes I find myself feening for their tofu scamble . . . . yum!
I know, I'm obssesed, so what . . . at least I know what I like!
Great service and good food at an affordable price. You can ususaly
find me here having (what I call a "tofu" sensation) on the weekends,
while chuming it up with my pals.
Enjoy! -

Eat Well's always a good bet for breakfast in the Los Feliz/Silverlake area. In fact, after Fred's, it may be the best thing going.
It usually pretty crowded on the weekends, but the place is big enough that they manage to get you seated in under 10 minutes on virtually all occasions.
Haven't actually tried the lunch/dinner menu -- so maybe that isn't up to par. But like I said, Eat Well knows them some brekkie. -

I can't help but eat healthy here...just look at the name!
When I'm in the mood for some healthy or vegetarian grub, I always think of Eat Well. It's a shame I don't go to school around the area anymore. They have one of the best Veggie Burgers here! Not a health or veggie freak? It's okay; Eat Well has something for everyone. You can easily increase your daily caloric intake here as well. Try one of their burgers or the breakfast burrito.
Sit outside to enjoy the people watching or if you're bringing along your dog. Either way, soak up the artsy vibe whether you sit indoor or outdoor.Listed in: Vegetarian Nirvana!

Solid 3.5
Quick service, good coffee, great turkey sausage, yummy blueberry pancakes.
It doesn't really "stand out," but is definitely a solid breakfast bet. Mike and I are still continuing our search for the perfect breakfast spot in Echo Park/Silver Lake. Will report back! -

It's no Zachary's. But the Mess has bits of sausage links in it which make it 'le delish.'
minus one star because they don't use organic eggs... -
Review from Kat U.

Why in the world did I HAVE to finish everything on my plate this morning? We had to take a walk down Sunset to the Farmer's Market and back just so everything starts to settle in my belly. Maybe because the hash browns well done was scrumptious and the omelette and bacon I had was so delish.
I've only been at this location a few times and everytime I've come, I was satisfied. In my opinion, one can't really f*&^ up eggs unless they're a complete idiot and if they are, they have NO business cooking at a restaurant. So if you're looking for a pretty "classic" breakfast, Eat Well in Silverlake is the place to go. But be careful what time you do go. Sometimes they can be super swamped and you probably won't have as pleasant an experience.
Mmmmm bacon... -

Nice atmosphere, really friendly staff, good portions... exceedingly AVERAGE food.
Honestly, why is this place so busy when Millie's and Town and Country are so close by?
That said, the tuna melt on rhye (with fruit - the fries kinda suck) is pretty hard to beat. -

i really like this spot.
they used to have the best turkey chili nachos....they dont have the nachos on the menu anymore, but u can ask them to make them for you!!
i love the breakfasts and i love the veggie burger :)
this is just a chill, low key spot for a lazy breakfast or lunch...
the waitresses are super chill and it's a totally mellow spot.
they have a LOT of vegetarian items, too!!

Very friendly and attentive staff. Breakfast portions were large and nicely prepared. I liked this place. I know I should mention a specific dish, but I had a pretty standard breakfast. Oh! Their biscuits and gravy were great, which is always kind of a marker for me on the scale of breakfast-rating.

eat well how i loved you. breakfast, lunch, i remember when eat well served dinner. then didn't. then did again. then didn't. even when i boycotted you because you stopped serving crinkle fries i loved you from afar. and upon the reinstation of crinkle fries, we were together until the end. grilled cheese with alfalfa sprouts. those awesome fountain cokes.
thank you, waitstaff that practically raised me and guided me through breakups, makeups, jobs and other various traumas. thank you, kitchen staff that let me hide in the kitchen when my ex-bf suddenly appeared with his new gf.
we all know the roaches and rats are coming from the disgusting cafe stella. it's not your fault eat well. good night sweet prince.
crinkle fries 4 ever. -

when i used to live downtown this was just up the street so this was always our hangover spot...
bfast and brunch wait kinda sucks - the wait isn't too long, staff is really friendly and super attentive (i had my coffee refilled like 4 times once, without ever asking!)
this doesn't feel like Toast or Doughboys where ppl are ppl-watching rather than actually eating and hanging w/their bfast mates. its got a cute neighborhood vibe, although oddly ive seen a lot of tourists here, you know, white tennis shoes, fanny pack, etc. go figure.
alternative eats for veggie-sauruses are plentiful here. i wouldn't say the food is super, but its good, hearty, and its a nice diner atmosphere.
after ur done eating, grab some tea at casbah next door :)Listed in: My Neighborhood

Love this, though I get the same thing every time. There was also a price difference between the different locations, which turned me off and made me feel weird. Otherwise, a good a simple consistent choice for brunch - wouldn't recommend for any other meal.

It's not often that I'm in this area at breakfast time. It's actually the very first time. Having not eaten dinner the night before I was super hungry! Parking was a breeze on the street. We sat inside because face it, it's cold outside! The place was busy but we didn't have to wait to be seated. The hot chocolate was superb! I opted not to try the spice cake stuff they brought out. I was way too into my hot coco with whipped cream. YUMMY! I had the vege omelet w/ chedder cheese, home fries and english muffin. The portions are big! The omelet was the best I've had in LA. The service was quick and pleasant. My leftovers were even good the next morning which is rare for eggs. Just another great place in Silverlake!

Eat well would be much more appropriately titled if it was called "eat decently, watch some crazy sidewalk folk." I mean, the food is okay, but the real fun comes from their outdoor seating. You can see all the beautiful, dog loving, and crazy people of Silverlake in the time it takes you to eat your breakfast! And I love that it's next door to Pull My Daisy so you can hang out with Bingo and feel like one of the cool kids... which is really why we all go there after all, isn't it?

Eat Well, well said. I was here a few days ago, First time I ventured into this neighborhood. Silver Lake has its vibe of old store front with redesigned shops inside. At any rate this spot is centrally located between a few good stores. I went in for some breakfast on a sunny LA day, got the country fried chicken, in a few words: hungry man portions, fast, Good, worth a visit when your in the hood. Nuff said, you wont be disappointed.

Eat Well is gone. There was a notice for a 5 day eviction on the door in November 2007. Now there's paper in the windows. Hoping something good will come from this loss of a Silver Lake institution. I think they ran out of $$.

Review from S L.

I hate to give a local neighborhood biz a bad rating, but after seeing the C rating on the window, I just had to. I always thought my husband was crazy but the two times we've gone there, he's always gotten sick from the food. The service is pretty good, but it always feels a little dingy to me. I'm giving it 3 stars because I think there's a nice, big menu with lots of variety, even if you're a veggie.
