I tend to buy breakfast here every other day and it is absolutely delicious and very homemade. The double bacon cheese burger is also really good and has a really good homemade taste. I got mine without 1000 islands dressings. This cafe is definitely worth checking out.

Big portions. Great prices. Loved the chicken & waffles. Friendly vibe. And the fun Beat It connection. A true DTLA classic!

Sorry didn't take a picture I was hungry. Pancakes are big. If you come on a Sunday it's 3 miunte walk to farmers market.

Great old school diner with the u-shaped bar and a few tables. I had the veggie cheese omelette with hash browns and it was delicious. Pro-tip, if you like hot sauce ask for the house-made one, it's legit amazing. My daughter had the pancakes and loved them. Everyone was very friendly and attentive, one of the best breakfasts Ive had in LA. Very no-frills, so if you're looking for a throwback cafe, this is your place.

I ordered the chorizo breakfast burrito and a side of country potatoes. The potatoes are simple yet delicious and fresh. The burrito is pleasing but with a touch of the sauce they give you on the side, it's very appetizing. You can go wrong with a side of orange juice with that too. Definitely recommend.

Customer service is okay wait time for food 15 mins. I asked for them to season the eggs they didn’t. Meat from the bacon to their fried chicken tasted 1 day old or maybe 2 days. Meaning it’s not freshly made. Ordered the eggs bacon and country potatoes with sourdough toast. And my kid had the chicken and waffles. Meat and potatoes for both of the dishes were not freshly made. Got the order to go so found out once we got back and tasted everything. Fresh with no seasoning or days old with slight seasoning haha I would rather go for the fresh no seasoning.

This restaurant is a local restaurant to my home. I order from this restaurant all the time because it’s convenient. I ordered food and while waiting for my food to be prepared I dozed off. When I woke up the restaurant was suppose to still be open with two hours until the official closing time.

I ran downstairs to grab my food and they had decided to close the restaurant two hours early. The next day I came down and they told me they weren’t going to remake it because I never came to get it. I told them I did come to get it y’all closed early. They really have me a hard time about remaking my food.

Since then I’ve ordered food four times and the hostess ( hispanic) literally ignores me now. Today I ordered food and the owner accused me of being racist and prejudice. Threatened to pepper spray me if I didn’t leave the restaurant and was just very rude and nasty. He even threatened to call his gang member friends to come “handle” me.

Love the giant horseshoe counter seating. There were 4 of us and no room at the counter so sat at the 4-top in the front window. Super friendly atmosphere and lots of food options. I got the chilequiles and they were perfect. Everyone loved their breakfast - they even have hash browns which is harder and harder to find on a breakfast menu. You're not likely going to make this a destination location, but if you're in the area, don't hesitate, just go!

Good breakfast omelet. Great value. Some of Michael Jackson's Beat it video was filmed there.
