Ok So just yesterday I went to a diner in Glendale and had a good experience, but It lacked personality. So I go to north Hollywood diner today and get beautiful diner ambiance with a lot of personality But the service needed work Long story short, the food was ok I got a Huevos Rancheros and mom got a sliders plate with onion rings But they were understaffed on a Tuesday Which meant a frustrated and very vocal waitress who let everybody know how frustrated she was Simple stalling methods and staggered orders could have solved her issues but she took everyone's order at the same time which meant a single cook trying to pump out orders all at the same time Not to mention our order came out wrong But being as it was busy, we understood Again, I've worked in the service industry for 10 years so I know all of the issues could have been avoided by simple techniques Either way the ambiance and diner vibe in this place was beautiful They have a bar and all these classic pictures against a brick wall It's very vibey A little music with a more composed and energy and this spot could definitely be a vibe in my opinion I wander if they have any events or peak the interests of any locals I think it's in a great location with solid parking I love the old closed down look from the outside but a hidden gem look on the inside If the service and energy can match that unique classic flavor of the restaurant, then I think this place could do some real damage. Maybe 2-3 signature dishes or specials that are really done well would be good. My plate was average Moms plate was average too The onion rings were perfect tho! That's all I'll say I could see myself going back here for the vibe alone I'm definitely interested to see what their other dishes taste like That's all for now B

Classic Hollywood joint. Perfect combo of dirty and clean. Great breakfast with jazz music in the background. You know you are in the right spot when a guy walks in and asks for the back room. Classic diner feel at the bar. Pictures of Hollywood legends on the wall. I’m in. I’ll be back.

This place been here forever! Well, maybe not that long but close. I have eaten here on and off since 1994. They have gone through a few changes over the years, decorating the inside and food styles. Somehow they always manage to keep just enough of the "old" with the "new". I really like their huevos rancheros.Still going even after the pandemic!

The food has gone downhill while the prices have climbed uphill. I should have walked out when i saw the cup of coffee was $5. Instead i ordered the Chilaquiles which was a $15 plate of tortilla chips swimming in a warm verde sauce. I walked out the door hungry and sought another meal elsewhere, never to return

A traditional and great throwback 50s style diner in North Hollywood. It is 24 hours and they serve breakfast through dinner so they really have a ton of great options on the menu. Our server Lola was absolutely great and very attentive. She was funny, polite, and did a great job. The issue we had for our brunch today was it took 35 minutes for our two entrées to arrive after ordering, which is slow for a diner. However the service speed and just comparing it flavor wise to other diners makes me hold back one star. I do love how there is a large free parking lot attached so parking is really easy and plentiful.There were a lot of items that I wanted to order on the menu, but today I chose to try their Chicken Fried Steak. I also ordered a side biscuit. The biscuit was not my favorite, it was pretty small next to others I have had recently. The chicken fried steak was very good, but I have had better versions at some other local diners. The gravy was a bit watery and the other dish we ordered came with bacon, which was very undercooked but aside from that everything else really hit the spot. Wish they did hashbrowns instead of country potatoes though. Their coffee is also really good and was surprisingly strong.Overall a solid diner option in North Hollywood. I’m holding back a star because of the service speed and just comparing it to other diners in LA, but still would recommend it to anyone.Parking: free large parking lot attached

Worst food I've ever had and on top of that it takes forever to get it. The cook in the kitchen looks absolutely miserable or stoned or both. I got the patty melt it was so bad I had to send it back, had to order eggs, Benedict saved the experience somewhat, but probably won't be back.

My friend loves this dinner, and her and I went a couple months ago and it was okay. I really liked the divey feel but the food was just okay. Fast forward to about two weeks ago, I happened to have about an hour to kill while my cat was at the vet across the street so I came in. I sit down and the waitress comes over to me hands me the menu and immediately says after I open it "you should know the menu" I said "wait why?" And then she was like "just kidding haha but you're ready right" it was super weird and uncomfortable, I ordered French toast because that was the first thing I saw because I was kind of uncomfortable honestly. After my order was taken no one spoke to me again, no one refilled my drink, asked me how the food was. No one said anything to me even as I paid. The food was meh but the experience was awful, from the second I walked in I felt like no one wanted me there.
