What people say, in short
Hollywood Grill receives breakfast recommendations at North and Ashland, including praise for its pancakes. One diner fondly remembers an elaborate biscuits-and-gravy order, while another now finds that dish only adequate. Price is a recurring objection, including from one local customer. The familiar diner appeal remains qualified by those value concerns, without treating old opening-hour reports as a current guarantee.
