Ein freundliches Café im amerikanischen Stil. Alles hat gut geschmeckt. Ich habe gerne meine Zeit hier verbracht.

My family and I really enjoyed this place. It's got that home-y cozy and chill feel that you get from old diners, and their menu is not complicated like with newer restaurants. The food is just what you'd expect from an older diner. It's good and satisfying.

We were surprised they got busy around 1030 on a Tuesday, but I guess it's just a fave. The prices are good too even despite the inflation and everything.

Open since 1886 it is one of, if not the, oldest restaurants in Los Angeles County. We were in the area so we decided to stop in for our first visit. I am sure it has had many iterations over the years but currently it is a diner on one side and another area for the bar, but separated. It has a really homey feel to it and looks like the classic LA diner on the inside. They have a free parking lot attached, but we were able to find a parking spot right out front. Our server was very polite, although it took quite a long time for our food to come out.

Aside from the wait time, the food items were very good taste wise. I chose the Country Fried Steak for my breakfast and we also shared a side order of Biscuits and Gravy. The steak was actually very good and very crispy but not overly done. The biscuits were OK but not favorite. I wish they would be more flaky, but I still enjoyed them. We also ordered a side of Pancakes for the table and everybody enjoyed that as well.

Overall, a good local country diner and I would recommend if you are in the area.

Old school diner and menu to match. A nice place to bring the family for breakfast or brunch. Everything from omelets and breakfast combos to eggs Benedict and chicken n waffles.
They had a TV up front with sports on for those that need to know what’s going on. Plenty of seating options with booths, tables and a bar. Plenty of parking available as well.

It's the oldest restaurant in LA County and kinda feels like it, and I don't mean it as a compliment. For a diner, it is pretty basic with old decor and unappealing color and trim. The food was meh; ordered country fried steak and it was pretty much bland so i gotta add some hot sauce on it. At least it was not salty like, say, Cracker Barrel's CFS. The service was great though, and that was perhaps the best part of this institution.

Heard a lot of good things about the Cafe, so we had to try. Great place to have an old fashioned meal. The food is delicious, and the service was fantastic. Jessie is a phenomenal waitress with a wonderful smile and is very pleasant and welcoming. If you haven’t tried please do the Cafe also has a Cocktail Bar if you’re looking to have drinks and a fantastic lunch or dinner. Why there isn’t more locations like this is beyond me. In my opinion I give this place a solid 10…

We came on a Monday, so there was no wait time for us, and luckily when we arrived it wasn’t so busy, but within no time we noticed this place got busy quickly.
Our breakfast orders came in a great wait time. About 15 mins. Our server was very friendly and gave us some background on the restaurant, which we enjoyed knowing some history to this place.
The food was very tasteful.
The older man that came to our table refilling our coffee cups was very attentive.
Enjoyed the feeling of this old vintage dining atmosphere. Recommend this place, and would love visiting again.

Stopped in here for a club sandwich and enjoyed it very much. Friendly service. Typical diner vibe, which I really like. Prices fair. Parking on the side made it convenient. I'd return here whenever in the area.
