This isn't a café, there is no menu or warmly-made food. This is just a grab-and-go snack area thats overpriced, most of the coolers that were supposed to have food were empty, and to top it off: they were kicking people out the outside seating balcony by 6pm, way before any meaningful sunset or view could happen. What a bummer.
That’s good

The Food was an embarrassment and the prices are ridiculous. Only upside is the service and the outdoor dining on the table that we didn’t have to wait for. Wolfgang puck should be ashamed to put his name on this establishment when they can’t even get a ham sandwich right.

Very good cafeteria food at reasonable prices. Hot meals and salad are sold by the ounce. There are also other foods and drinks.

Food was very overpriced, not a ton of selection. Quality was ok-we had turkey chili and mac and cheese-both were okay but not great. The prepackaged salad was great, and the service was great.

Fairly good restaurant, I don't know anywhere else where you can eat while seeing the Hollywood Sign, it's really the only place you can really eat over here as it's all the way up in the mountains. I had the gnocchi & the macaroni & cheese, & both were actually really good. Good selection of food, but if you are a picky eater, this is not the place as other than what I got, they had grilled chicken, hot dogs, salad, & the rest was prepackaged food (sandwiches, uncrustables, e.t.c). The prices are not too bad if you consider the fact that there are no other restaurants nearby, although the amount of food you get for the price is not great ($12 for basically 2 different pastas, & not big portions either), but I split the food, & it filled me up for the next few hours, & I had soda, which the soda machines were working well with no problems, & they even had free water cups if you need.
Vegetarian options: mostly just salad, needs more vegan options.

We got the turkey and cheese sandwich, and it was probably the worst and most overpriced sandwich we’ve had in our lives

The observatory is wonderful. This café? the worst. It’s really sad to say that this is the only café you have to take being located in this amazing area. This is the kinda shock of reality you have, coming inside this café by understanding that you are in america and there’s nothing you can do about that. This would never happen to you in europe or some southamerican countries.
The clerk was so pitty and bad-mannered. Terrible attitude.
I took a muffin and I asked for a medium cup (the coffee is literally gas station coffee the kind of that u pour in it yourself) saw the final cost on the pinpad and over that disgusting attitude from the cashier, I said “I’m good”, put that manufacturer musty muffin in it’s place and I left.
Good thing is the cup of water is free!

This is the cafe attached to Griffith observatory. I wasn't intending to eat here but I took a peek inside and found a Cajun chicken sandwich that sounded really good to me. They have a small hot bar but the wraps and sandwiches are in a cold section. It was very overpriced as it cost $19 for a sandwich and soda. But I did genuinely like my sandwich and the tables outside are nice to eat at.

Way overpriced for the quality of food. The chicken ceasar wrap was dry. Hot food options were OK, nothing special.
