29 Best Diners near Manhattan Beach

“I had the trout dish, spinach and mash potatoes. I would've given it five stars, but the flavor was a bit unseasoned. However, it was perfectly cooked and fresh. I would of course return and try more things! My mentor had the French toast dish, we came here on her mention and it was wonderful. We saw outside and could see the ocean from our view - the overall ambience was incredible. I seen a sign saying that it was open all night and I think that is really awesome! I can't wait to return.

“Was looking for a "new" place to try on my latest visit to LA. Pann's had some good reviews so I stopped in. It was 10:30 on a weekday and the place was absolutely buzzing!!! Fortunately there were some seats available at the counter and I was able to snag one. I thoroughly enjoyed my breakfast of a scramble, fruit and a side of pancakes! I didn't think I would finish everything, but the food was so delicious that I ate every bite. Coffee was pretty good, also. I don't write a lot of reviews, but I had such a good experience at Pann's that I wanted to shout it to the (Google) world!“

“This was me and my family's first time in this Denny's and we loved the customer service and our waiter Jose, he attended us with good customer service and I would recommend this Denny's. I give Jose 10 stars for his great approach.“

“A fantastically cozy breakfast diner right next to LAX. I have made it a ritual to have Wendy's before an early flight and it makes the whole airport experience much better. Great staff, great food, great prices, great atmosphere, great crowd.“

“We started with milkshakes (one of which was the Vegan Cookies and Cream) and both tasted delicious. I was excited to find a place that offered a Dairy Free Milkshake option. For dinner we had the Fried Chicken and a Burger, both portions were plenty and very delicious. Waiter was friendly and informative. Atmosphere was great as well.Dietary restrictions: There were vegan/non-dairy options available.“

“Great service and food always hits. I ask for my potatoes extra crispy and their side muffins are always amazing. Portions are large and great price. Seating can be hard to get but it’s worth the wait! No pics because I always devour my food immediately lolVegetarian options: Many omelette and skillet dishes are vegetarian“

“I was having a pretty bad day and then me and some of my friends decided to make a trip down to the beach, my cousin Giovanni recommended this place and while hesitant we decided to give it a shot. Upon arrival we marveled at the glorious atmosphere. I ordered a grilled chicken melt which was fantastic, but the most glorious part of the night came when the lovely waitress offered if we wanted a slice of pie I was again hesitant as I have never tried a banana pie and wouldn't see myself enjoying it. As soon as it was brought out and I took a bite and I took a glance at my friend then my cousin and we all looked at each other in disbelief, we questioned ourselves but ultimately concluded that this was the best pie we had ever tried. The pie was so creamy and the bananas toppings and filling really brought it all together. The breading was like the Lord himself gave instructions on how to make it. In that moment when me and my companions glanced at each other I felt a sense of togetherness it brought me back to my childhood when my single mother would come home and bake me and my siblings a nice fresh pie. Ecclesiastes 9:7“

“food and service they cooks always do my order correct and tasty Service is excelent, all waiters are very courtesy and polite with customers, Iris, Tonny and Irma always go beyond expectations we love to come to eat. thank you for having people that's care Lourdes“

“I recommend everything! Outside dining, family friendly! I’ve been going to Joe’s for most of my life. I attended Redondo High school and Joe’s is just down the street, so once in awhile we would go down to have Breakfast! I especially enjoy the atmosphere! I really enjoy the John Wayne breakfast!“

“Danny's menu used to be better. Especially for breakfast. Not many choices. Used to have corn beef hash, but nowadays, no more.Service wise around the tables is average ( will come by when needed ) but they wuld prefer @ least 18% tip. Really? When they don't even come by to really check with u if everything is ok. Or even a short chit chatParking: AvailableKid-friendliness: YesWheelchair accessibility: Yes“

“Our little one was having difficulty sleeping, so we decided to have a late dinner at our local Denny's. Overall, we were greeted by the manager and seated promptly. The atmosphere was good but hearing that we're being audio recorded and videotaped was a little alarming.Our server, Alex was probably one of the best servers we've had dining out especially late at night. He was very friendly, efficient, very polite and well-mannered. His service was very prompt and he refilled drinks, and coffee timely. He checked in on us and made sure that we were doing well. We really enjoyed Alex as our server and we hope that the Denny's corporate team recognize him.“

“Me and my family had an amazing experience. Food was amazing and the service was even better our server Brianna made sure we got our food and drinks right away . She constantly asked if we needed anything and her energy was amazing ! I will definitely be coming back .“

“Denny's is the typical American burger, very fatty and high in calories (shown on the menu). In terms of atmosphere, it feels like Pulp fiction with the red benches where you are actually seated. It's good despite the fat! Welcome to USA!“

“An interesting cafe location inside a bowling alley, but it gives you that homey island life like you would find in Hawaii. We ordered a bunch of dishes to try and test out the authenticity and I must say they are all legit. Their Misoyaki Butterfish has a nice texture, a bit of sweetness and flavor from Miso and a buttery taste. The Lau Lau (steamed pork wrapped inside Taro leaves) and Kim Chi fried rice with Portuguese sausages are savory and super flavorful to each bite. The Saimin (Hawaiian soft wheat egg noodles with char siu) is exactly how it should taste just like in Hawaii. We got a Loco Moco plate to go and it did not disappoint because the gravy has a nice texture and flavor to it. We will definitely be back in the near future to try other dishes.“

“I LOVE THE VIBE OF THIS PLACE -- Old Fashioned. The customer service was real good too. When we walked in, we were greeted & told to sit wherever. The waiter answered the questions we had about the menu & then recommended a few things to us. We ended up getting the 2 things that he recommended -- The International Omelette & The Three Stooges. My fiance said the bacon was cooked perfectly unlike the bacon he had at Denny's. My daughter loved the Belgian waffle & ate the whole thing. My other daughter had the kids breakfast meal & she ate everything -- eggs, bacon, pancakes. I had the omelette & it was interesting how they put the regular square cheese on top of the finished omelette instead of putting shredded cheese on the inside. There was definitely a lot of meat in that omelette. However, I couldn't finish the hash browns because it did taste a little off for me, idk if it was because it was too oily. Also, when the other waitress gave our food, we were just sitting there waiting because there weren't enough forks so we had to ask for more when she came by but I like how she apologized. Another thing I liked is how we didn't have to wait for our check & how she dropped the check off to us when she saw we were almost finished & said "no rush. whenever you're ready." It made our time there go by smoothly because when having small children, you know how they get when they're done eating & just want to play around so you want to get out of there asap lol.“

“Excellent service, good size burrito. Not too small and not too big. The only thing is I wish it had a just a little more bacon strip bits. I definitely reccomend this location for breakfast. It also had good coffee. Oh and hazelnut and French vanilla creamer, some breakfast locations don't carry them and I'm glad they did.“

“I've been going to Ronnie's a couple times a month for the last few years. My go to was always the pancake special or French toast special. I'd recommend either of those anytime! Lately I've been getting the chiliquiles. I absolutely love them. I went yesterday and was told there's a new menu (photos included with new prices) and the chiliquiles now come with green sauce. Red sauce is not an option. I was so disappointed because I really wanted them and I do not like green sauce. Most places use the red sauce or at least give you the option of red or green. Very disappointed that's not the case here. Now I'll have to go somewhere else to get this dish“

“Rae's is a blast from the past, an original 1950's tiny diner! Perfect for breakfast. Prices are very reasonable compared to other restaurants such as Mel's Diner. Presentation of food is not important here. They bring out the food fast! This is not a fancy diner, but rather a simple cozy local breakfast diner that has not changed much since the 1950s in decor.I had the Rae's Special Omelette which is chunks of chicken, onions zucchini and cheese. The omelette was a bit hard, not soft and fluffy, but it was tasty with the breakfast potatoes and toast. This was under $12.My friend ordered the 2 eggs, 2 sausage and biscuit. The gravy was an extra .69 cents. She enjoyed her meal.On Sunday around 10:30am, the wait for two was not bad at all. Service was good, service with a smile, even though they were short staffed. They all worked very hard.Restrooms are located from the outside patio. You will need to ask the staff for the code to unlock them.Park on the side streets. Read the parking signs carefully to avoid any parking tickets.“

“My favorite type of no b.s. diner. No gimmicks, no show. Great food and cash only. The best places on earth are cash only. I get to sit there and roll my eyes as all the douchebags who start to fumble around when they realize they don’t have cash to pay for their food, pure entertainment.“

“Don’t Order the potatoes !!! Go for the fries or hash browns. Service was great,And the food was delicious. Came in with a group of 6, and we were served very well. Waited about an hour for a table. While all the food was great, the potatoes were extremely sad, no flavor, seasoning and tasted like just boiled potato. Other than that, everything is great. Bathroom accessible.“

“My second time here and I ordered the pecan and banana pancake combo with portuguese sausage. The sausage was delicious and the pancakes were amazing. I put a little butter and syrup on the pancakes and think next time I would just use a little more butter and no syrup. The pancakes were sweet just by themselves. Highly recommend this place if you are in the area.“

“My sister and I came in on September 16th (a little before noon). We had a wonderful visit. Heleina (the hostess) was very pleasant and professional. And, our server (FERNANDO) was amazing!!! He really "took care of us". And, the food was great!!! Becky (the manager) "runs that Denny's real nice!"“

“I love this place. I feels like one of those American malls in the 90's when the economy was good. Also they have a GNC vitamin store, stores that sell Air Jordans, and a frekkin Cinnabon! Sabarro is always on point especially with that pasta.?“

“Love this place and sad they will be closing the building which is a historic landmark for a while...not sure if they will reopen it as Dinah's in the future..so many memories there my hubby asked me out in this booth and it is where our love story began many decades ago.“

“The pan has nailed all fundamentals in running a diner. Food is great, service is always great & coffee is top notch. I have tried the steak & eggs $(23)amazing, chicken & waffle $19 eh the chicken piece was small you’re better off with the AmazING BUTTERMILK FRIED CHICKEN if you’re up to getting a little naughty , comes with a cornbread pancake under the meal so the tasty sauce is kinda making it all even better. In terms of flavor & experience Buttermilk Fried chicken is the go to. Orange juice freshly squeezed & tasty lemonade. I’ll keep coming back.“

“Always a great experience at this restaurant and we just love our regular waitress in fact if she’s not there we wait to sit in her section Elizabeth is our favorite server, we’re not saying that we don’t like the others but she is our favorite and is very nice and knows what makes us comfortable extra napkins & coffee creamer etc. just the little things that make us feel comfortable she really is the best in our eyes“

“The pizza, donuts, and smoothies are always fire ? and affordable prices, while supporting local businesses ????Vegetarian options: Can make your pizza fully vegetarian!Parking: Parking lot has a lot of pot holes so be careful but it’s free parking lotWheelchair accessibility: Access to building but hard to open door by yourself“

“Iggy's has some the best tasting fries I've had. And, I love fries. Everything we ordered good. And, the price is right!Vegetarian options: I had an egg and potato breakfast burrito at lunchtime; it tasted good, well seasoned no need for anything else. Everything we ordered there was good.Parking: Parking Sketchy.Wheelchair accessibility: yes, wide doors and lanes“

“This Ruby's Diner is one of my daughter's favorite places to hang out. Watching the skaters and Hockey players from a slightly warmer perspective with the American Diner atmosphere and music is fun. The burgers and shakes are great and so is the service.“
