Diners near Universal City

“Shoutout to TONI !!!! We were so pleased with her service when we didn’t know how to carry the food that we bought without cover and even a bag to fit everything in. She was so kind to help us sincerely. With her kind attitude and ready smile.. i guess no single penny can ever replace her good heart towards her customers. I know it’s hard to not always nice but just a smile alone can change the situation.. thank you toni for your very nice gesture. Simple solutions means a lot.! Were giving you 5 stars.“

“Nester leads a team of genuinely kind and happy-to-serve people in the LA area. Unlike other Denny’s, this location is well-maintained, the area is safe, and the food is well-prepared.

Jay was an absolute joy to have as my server. And Pam, very similarly sweet and lovely.“

“Was a really fantastic experience. The wait staff was extremely courteous, nice and friendly. The food was delicious- the meat and banchan was extremely fresh- was definitely a fan of their kimchi! Also, they were generous with time. Will definitely be visiting again soon! 감사합니다!“

“Didn’t know the diner was in a hotel so make sure you look for the hotel, not the diner’s name! Lovely staff, especially the lady that served us. Really welcoming and patient since we weren’t sure what to get and asked for takeaway. Food was delicious, definitely recommend the chicken sandwich and their fries are seasoned really well.“

“My server was great and the restaurant was very clean after eating i asked to speak to the manager and tell him how the restaurant was very clean, thank you Dennys“

“Great service and the pies were amazing“

“Our Elite Tabletop Family cannot say enough great things about Cafe 50’s! From the way we were GREETED, TREATED, & SERVED, to the way they’ve continued to treat our daughter like FAMILY since she’s arrived in Santa Monica. They’ve been nothing less than spectacular and are the epitome of what a True, neighborhood nostalgic 50’s diner encompasses. No other establishment has ever provided fun toys & items of entertainment while waiting for our food. We thank Benjamin for that! Victor the GM checked on our table and made sure Kim our waitress was taking care of us! Kim was a fantastic server and we never once waited for a refill on anything. The staff @ Cafe 50’s take pride in their customer service & establishment and they deserve all the recognition! You have our family’s support for life Cafe 50’s! We would ❤️ to support you, supporting the local community!“

“Excelente para disfrutar en familia, es un lugar bonito. Es bueno para eventos especiales.“

“Always good! Home cooking, great staff and nice customers. Good value and fun funky throwback feel and architecture.
Update: It's been freshened. All the good stuff remains. Seems brighter. Maybe a paint job. New cash register! Credit cards now. Some outside seating.“

“Excellent food and service“

“Teddy’s is a true old-school diner in West LA, known for its classic American breakfasts and great value. The atmosphere is cozy and nostalgic, with a nice shaded patio. It’s cash only, with generous portions, friendly service, and even some tasty Mexican specials. A solid spot for a hearty meal!“

“Amazingly delicious food <3“

“My favorite breakfast spot—whether I come here alone or with friends :)

My go to is usually one of the breakfast egg combos with hasbrowns and toast. They are so quick here and provide amazing customer service. Been coming here for a while and will keep coming back for sure ❤️ oh and they have the cutest art around the restaurant“

“I would say it’s one of the best diners in the valley. I drove up from West LA specifically for breakfast today and was really impressed for my first time visit. It’s your true retro LA style diner complimented with friendly service and delicious food. Our server was honestly fantastic and all of our items arrived quickly after ordering them. I also love the design on the inside, it’s the retro 50’s era old diner that you would expect full of booths and counter seating. They have a free parking lot attached otherwise street parking is easy to find as well.

We started off with the homemade Coffee Cake and it was terrific. Coffee Cake is one of my favorite desserts and honestly this was one of the better ones that I’ve had in a long time. I would highly recommend it. For my meal, I had a glass of their orange juice because they make it in-house and have a giant machine right behind the counter so I had to try it and it was delicious as expected. For my meal, I chose the Pork Belly Eggs Benedict and thought it was great. The hollandaise sauce was homemade and not the canned type and the pork was crispy, but also flavorful. The hashbrowns on the side were also done exactly as I like them. Overall, it was a fantastic meal.

I would highly recommend to anyone searching for a great diner, breakfast, or lunch option. I plan to be back soon and I’m eager to try more items.

Parking: small free parking lot attached“

“Great tasting food. Luz our server was amazing“

“Not only was the service great, but the food was delicious too!“

“Outstanding menu and flavors. Don't skip the milkshakes, because those are amazing too. The menu has everything. Sat at a beautiful table outside.“

“Great experience this morning with my son. Food came out quick and the service was amazing. Thank you for the service and to the manager for fixing my son’s meal quick. I will definitely be returning to this location“

“Enjoyed sitting outdoors with my daughter and two granddaughters after their Kaiser appointments. I had a very tasty Turkey Club sandwich with waffle fries, while my daughter enjoyed a great omelette and her kids had mini-Belgian waffles with sprinkles. Just Perfect!!“

“Nice diner. Been around forever. It is diner food, so don't expect gourmet. Good food for the price.

I had the Field Chicken. The sautéed mushroom topping was very tasty. The chicken was pretty good quality. Not excellent, but I don't expect excellent in a diner. The green beans were not that tasty and were probably cooked a few hours earlier. The mashed potatoes and gravy were pretty good.

A friend had the Broasted Chicken. I tasted it and really liked it. The chicken was super tender and juicy. The breading was a little greasy, but not nearly as greasy as a lot of places.

The staff was very attentive and nice. Definitely no complaints there.

Parking lot in the back. Lots of parking and easy in and out.

Outdoor patio seating.

Very large menu with options for all types of preferences.

Decent prices.

Lots of Hollywood photos from years gone by.

If you like diners, you'll love this place. Definitely better quality than most diners.“

“It is wonderful!! Service great and the food is delicious. Try the Tortilla soup!!!!“

“Chili John’s is a piece of Burbank history! The food is great, the building has an old soul and staff is phenomenal. 10/10 recommend.“

“On so….if you work on the area and kno who you kno you kno. If you are coming for the first time. I definitely recommend the soups, turkey club (AMAZING with or without cheese), the chili cheese fries, the breakfast croissant, the chicken Caesar salad salad, irregular, Caesar salad, they have these huge shreds of Parmesan cheese that are amazing and the salad. And make sure to get the Caesar dressing because it is awesome!!!! Bagels, I love. The hash browns are nice and crispy, get 2 and add ketchup. I’m sitting here at almost 10pm eating this tortilla soup!!!!! Hey!!! This soup along with the chicken noodle!!! OMG, you guys!!!! Just come eat!!!“

“S&W is a classic American breakfast/lunch cafe in the heart of Culver City right near the Kirk Douglas theatre. The location can't be beat but parking can be an issue(not in my case though as I used the excellent Culver City bus).

The menu has the classics and I liked I could build my own 3 egg omelette stuffing it with jack cheese, onions, corn beef, ground beef, bell peppers. It also came with sourdough bread and hash browns(other options available like pancakes. I spent $20 total but the value is above average it was alot of food.

Note: I really like that they ONLY take cash because it contrasts to the trend I really dislike of places not taking cash.

Recommended.“

“Breakfast was bacon and eggs with hash browns, toast and coffee, $28 before tip. Not a daily place for me at that price, but the service was friendly and excellent. The photo shows the giant portion of bacon that I will enjoy for the next two mornings. Cheaper breakfast combos before 9:00AM. Hours are 7:30AM to 2:30PM. Note added 12/2/24: my visit was on Wednesday before Thanksgiving, and the meal did not include juice.“

“I don't know why you guys closed but this was definitely the hidden diamond of the valley.“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Homeboy Diner, and it was a culinary journey like no other. This American food haven in Sacramento offers a menu that celebrates the flavors and diversity of American cuisine. From the juicy burgers to the perfectly cooked steaks, every dish showcased the chef's dedication to quality and taste. The ambiance was elegant yet relaxed, providing the ideal setting for a memorable meal. The staff was attentive and knowledgeable, offering excellent recommendations and ensuring that every aspect of my dining experience was exceptional. Homeboy Diner is a true standout among Sacramento's dining scene.“

“Loved this place. Food was excellent and staff and owners were super friendly- it's a must stop when in Beverly Hills !!!!“

“Like have breakfast here when I am in the area“

“The food is delicious and the prices are more than reasonable. Get the chef's salad! My only complaint is that we're are here before going to a party, so we were dressed up. We were sitting next to the bussing station and the person bussing tables kinda carelessly stacked and jostled the bin containing dirty dishes, causing a full cup of coke to fall out and all over me and my new party dress. He Was apologetic, and brought me a towel, but I felt like the whole ordeal could've been avoided by being a little more mindful and careful.“

“Astro Family Restaurant will be closing on Monday April 1, 2024“

“Need A.T.M. GREAT FOOD AND SERVICE“

“Best menudos and other foods Have never had a bad meal. I’ll time goodnesses“

“Can in here at 10pm, just an hour before they closed. Which honestly I wasn't expecting a Denny's to close at 11pm. But the gracious waiter and cook sat my family down and gave us one of the best experiences at a Denny's you'll ever have. The staff went out of their way to deliver a great experience for us.“

“I come and have dinner at this restaurant since 2007 when my kids were little but now I only take my wife for a dinner sometimes and a good reason for it, is that we both enjoy how they treat us.
I came tonight again and they had my house keys i left on the seat last time i was there and they had them saved to give back to me.
I always recommend this location.
Thank you“
