I may move to Manhattan to be closer to The Kettle; Every town needs a late night diner with simple, delicious fare to soak up an evening of drinking; Save room for the brownie a la mode dessert .

Breakfast is always a winner. Great steak with homemade steak sauce (fresher tasting A1 sauce). French onion soup . Open 24/7

Veronica Chavira

Any time of day or night they have every item you may crave! From the addicting and large size roasted garlic hummus plate to the zucchini parmesan and these are starters! I love the breakfast nachos !

Matías Gagliardone

Excellent restaurant , with a huge variety of dishes and a very good value-for-money equation. The fries are a must, really delicious.

Kerry Clark

Great breakfast options including Vermont maple syrup for a bit extra. Worth it.

Michael Morgan

This place was exactly what I wanted it to be! Loved the vibe: cozy diner right next to the beach that’s open 24/7. Ordered the French onion soup and loved it. Have a feeling everything here is good.

French onion soup is not only delicious, it's addicting. Everything I've had to eat has been yummy. Service is good. Nice ambiance

Jenna Rose Robbins

Old-school favorite and one of the few 24-hour restaurants in the area. Would be nice if they updated their menu to have more vegan options , but at least my favorite sandwich fits the bill.

Will Scholl

Huge, delicious burger among many other great choices on the menu. Great casual spot just steps from the beach .

Tim Olesnavage

You honestly can't go wrong with anything here, and yes it's just as good sober. Always been a big fan of the burger .

They have beer on tap now, anf the white chicken chilli pot pie was awesome. Tasted better than it looked (White chilli ? Weird right?)

Kristina

My husband always says, "It's like mom's home cooking , just not your mom." He says it so much I'm really sick of it, but he's making me write this anyway.

John Jones

Check out the honey milk fried chicken with a side of taraborelli tube steak .

Great Customer Service from the Hispanic gal before dawn. Read the tips on horrible service which, did not apply to my visit. Food looked better than it tasted but, it was still very yummy & hearty!????

Montana Morgan

The French onion soup and brand muffin are my ride or die. Best local spot that preserves the old Manhattan Beach

Karen Lefranc

Bran muffins are delicious, love their salad and dressings . Breakfast there is always a treat.

Jay Baek

Burger was terrific and salads were also good. 24hrs open. Easy to find.

Lisa Gansky

One of my fave places in LA, and it's open 24 hours ! Favorite things: chicken strips w bbq sauce , burger , french toast , chocolate shake (ask them to use chocolate ice cream when they make it).

Maribel S Zoberg

We loved the Turkey Burger and the French Quarter Burger !

Jon Berry

24-hour fancy version of a diner , but a great beer selection too. (Allagash on draft , Chimay, Delerium Tremens, Green Flash , etc in bottles)

Jenna Rose Robbins

Never had a bad meal here. I still get cravings for their breakfasts and 1129 sandwich .

Steven S.

Fantastic french onion soup , and this coming from someone who is not a soup person.

Laura Thomas

Sit at the counter for some great people watching 24/7; my husband said the French onion soup here was better than we had in Paris; just 'saying.

Hunter Thomas

Good for groups or solo meal, fast service and wide selection. Manhattan Beach staple.

Order the Home made Pot Roast with a Honey Bran muffin , & French onion soup . You won't regret it!

Ernest Cody

The muffins are awesome and the Mahi tacos are great too!

Jeff Ferguson

Muffins will make you lose your mind (usually in mini form while you're waiting) and the French toast or pancakes will finish the job.

Brandon

Open all night, perfect if you're drunk. LOL

Jake Beniflah

Crab omelette rocks ... Best breakfast place in Manhattan Beach! Locals eat here ...
