What people say, in short
Shoop's on Main Street in Santa Monica draws repeated breakfast recommendations. Two diners single out pancakes, one favoring the banana version and another the bacon pancakes. A separate recommendation highlights the salmon scramble, while another fan usually orders a sandwich. The favorable comparisons are personal preferences, including one diner who ranks it above nearly all alternatives, rather than a measured citywide ranking.
