The best. Food and service are better than ever after all these years. You can feel the historic Wooden UCLA bruin vibes in the air.

Good food and prices and service and location. If they update the place, they'd have to raise their prices.

Wow. Everyone here is so friendly. The food is very tasty with generous portions and lots of toppings in the omelets. Thank God this establishmemt, unlike many HAVE turkey bacon for those that can't eat pork. I appreciate the substitution options. My server was Karen and she was amazing and very tentative, so ask for her when you visit.
Overall, it was a great 1st experience, and I'll be sure to come back with my girl again. ??

VIP’s cafe is welcoming, serving classic staple food with a bang for your buck. Here’s the break down.Environment:As mentioned, very welcoming with a mom and pop diner vibe. The waiters and waitresses will fix you up, if any trouble comes when deciding what to order. The interior has recently (couple years now) been refurbished, offering a nice mid century blend. There are plenty of seats whether it be dining at the counter, with two people, four people, or a party of 6+. Lastly, there tables situated in the patio, facing Ventura Blvd, with shade offered.Food & Drinks:They offer a vast menu for food and drinks, whether it be for breakfast, brunch, or lunch. You can’t go wrong with the pancakes, French toast, and staple breakfast options. The burgers are standard sized, I believe their pattys blended by VIP’s. Lastly, it’s a great spot to sip on some mimosas, thank me later.Overall:VIP’s is a classic spot to go to whether it be a lunch break, time alone, or gathering with friends and family. The interior elicits mid century dining (furniture). A well cleaned restaurant with hospitable workers and owners. The food is well portioned, and honestly for the price it is a bang for your buck. The food isn’t extraordinary, but rather nostalgic and filling, it’s not meant to be a Michelin oriented plate or experience. Example, the cheeseburger ($13) comes with two sides, whether you want onion rings, coleslaw (try this one out, imagine taking some to go and putting it on some bbq), fries, or some of their other side options.If you’ve read up to this point, I always like to leave a bit of crumbs to the readers. Free validation for the parking lot, with vast amount of parking. Coffee comes with free refills. Tons of famous people come to this cafe, just take a look at their walls with pictures of such people.

The waitress never comes back to see if coffee or drinks need to be refilled. Only 1 waitress I’ve been there eating before.

Traditional American breakfast on a sunny dog-friendly patio. Unpretentious food, service, and prices.

My wife chose this place cause she likes open air terraces. I can’t believe i have never eaten here since I’m a valley native. But the food and service is great and the aforementioned open air terrace on Ventura Blvd makes my wife happy and as you already know “happy wife happy life”I had the corned beef hash with hash browns and my wife had the breakfast combo with French toast. Yummy.Parking in Bank of America next door is probably your smartest move.
