Diners near Encino

“This place is the worst unless you also have small screaming children, or you're deaf because all you hear is the scraping of the chairs, none stop! Customer service is very iffy, at best. Left with a headache from the racket.“

“Nester leads a team of genuinely kind and happy-to-serve people in the LA area. Unlike other Denny’s, this location is well-maintained, the area is safe, and the food is well-prepared.

Jay was an absolute joy to have as my server. And Pam, very similarly sweet and lovely.“

“I would say it’s one of the best diners in the valley. I drove up from West LA specifically for breakfast today and was really impressed for my first time visit. It’s your true retro LA style diner complimented with friendly service and delicious food. Our server was honestly fantastic and all of our items arrived quickly after ordering them. I also love the design on the inside, it’s the retro 50’s era old diner that you would expect full of booths and counter seating. They have a free parking lot attached otherwise street parking is easy to find as well.

We started off with the homemade Coffee Cake and it was terrific. Coffee Cake is one of my favorite desserts and honestly this was one of the better ones that I’ve had in a long time. I would highly recommend it. For my meal, I had a glass of their orange juice because they make it in-house and have a giant machine right behind the counter so I had to try it and it was delicious as expected. For my meal, I chose the Pork Belly Eggs Benedict and thought it was great. The hollandaise sauce was homemade and not the canned type and the pork was crispy, but also flavorful. The hashbrowns on the side were also done exactly as I like them. Overall, it was a fantastic meal.

I would highly recommend to anyone searching for a great diner, breakfast, or lunch option. I plan to be back soon and I’m eager to try more items.

Parking: small free parking lot attached“

“Our Elite Tabletop Family cannot say enough great things about Cafe 50’s! From the way we were GREETED, TREATED, & SERVED, to the way they’ve continued to treat our daughter like FAMILY since she’s arrived in Santa Monica. They’ve been nothing less than spectacular and are the epitome of what a True, neighborhood nostalgic 50’s diner encompasses. No other establishment has ever provided fun toys & items of entertainment while waiting for our food. We thank Benjamin for that! Victor the GM checked on our table and made sure Kim our waitress was taking care of us! Kim was a fantastic server and we never once waited for a refill on anything. The staff @ Cafe 50’s take pride in their customer service & establishment and they deserve all the recognition! You have our family’s support for life Cafe 50’s! We would ❤️ to support you, supporting the local community!“

“Always good! Home cooking, great staff and nice customers. Good value and fun funky throwback feel and architecture.
Update: It's been freshened. All the good stuff remains. Seems brighter. Maybe a paint job. New cash register! Credit cards now. Some outside seating.“

“Teddy’s is a true old-school diner in West LA, known for its classic American breakfasts and great value. The atmosphere is cozy and nostalgic, with a nice shaded patio. It’s cash only, with generous portions, friendly service, and even some tasty Mexican specials. A solid spot for a hearty meal!“

“Excellent food and service“

“Amazingly delicious food <3“

“Not only was the service great, but the food was delicious too!“

“Found this place on Google while visiting LA over the 4th of July weekend. We like to search the local Mom and Pop places rather than boring chain restaurants. So glad we discovered this place. Everything was great! Food, friendly and efficient service, cleanliness. It. Has old school vibe and charm. We already recommended it to our Vrbo host. We will definitely be back next time we visit LA.“

“Good food and friendly food service plus relaxing place eating with family… sometimes me and my co worker eat here ( Parker /Meggitt Safety Systems) I’ll invite more of my co workers 😊👍“

“On so….if you work on the area and kno who you kno you kno. If you are coming for the first time. I definitely recommend the soups, turkey club (AMAZING with or without cheese), the chili cheese fries, the breakfast croissant, the chicken Caesar salad salad, irregular, Caesar salad, they have these huge shreds of Parmesan cheese that are amazing and the salad. And make sure to get the Caesar dressing because it is awesome!!!! Bagels, I love. The hash browns are nice and crispy, get 2 and add ketchup. I’m sitting here at almost 10pm eating this tortilla soup!!!!! Hey!!! This soup along with the chicken noodle!!! OMG, you guys!!!! Just come eat!!!“

“S&W is a classic American breakfast/lunch cafe in the heart of Culver City right near the Kirk Douglas theatre. The location can't be beat but parking can be an issue(not in my case though as I used the excellent Culver City bus).

The menu has the classics and I liked I could build my own 3 egg omelette stuffing it with jack cheese, onions, corn beef, ground beef, bell peppers. It also came with sourdough bread and hash browns(other options available like pancakes. I spent $20 total but the value is above average it was alot of food.

Note: I really like that they ONLY take cash because it contrasts to the trend I really dislike of places not taking cash.

Recommended.“

“Loved this place. Food was excellent and staff and owners were super friendly- it's a must stop when in Beverly Hills !!!!“

“Denny’s is a pleasant place to eat. I like the ambiance and it’s very clean. Great food and great server 🥰 My server is MARISSA. She let me seat with a friendly smile 😊 then a few minutes she came back and ask my order and drink 🍹 my ordered food 🥞🥗came out quickly, hot, delicious and satisfied 👍. Marissa walked by frequently to check on me and ask if I need something or order something. She always make you feel comfortable. I highly recommend MARISSA for a reward due to her skills, a hard working server, and a great asset to this DENNY’s restaurant. To sum up, I will come again and enjoy my food.“
