The atmosphere takes you back to the 50s . I also love the comfort food they serve here.
American Graffiti was recorded here. Sunset Blvd sándwich is the best!! Gonzo was a great waiter !!! We got a 10% discount from a flyer in front of the Hollywood museum . A just for tourists
A great pot pie in a casual diner atmosphere. Plus, its a great value since it comes with your choice of soup or salad !
Cool retro place with affordable prices just a block away from the Chinese Theatre . The brisket sandwich is to die for, and the shake too.
If you're vegetarian and want something delicious, get the Portobello Burger . It's way better than the veggie burger.Also, try the apple pie with cheddar . Good stuff.
Nearly all tables have jukeboxes with a great selection of songs! Nothing beats eating burgers and drinking milk shakes while listening to "I Fought The Law"...
FYI tourists this offers a tasty affordable option for Breakfast if you want to avoid an expensive hotel breakfast .
My boyfriend and I split the avocado burger and the apple salad . Both were delicious with twisty fries !!
Great music , cool joint. But don't order the pumpkin pie unless you like disappointment. Was easily the smallest piece of pie I've ever bought and I heard from my friends that its usually smaller
Get a burger and milkshake these they do right! That's ALL they do right. You will be disappointed with everything else on the menu, order something else and you will leave feeling ripped off.
Buttermilk pancakes are delicious!! Amazing homemade honey mustard !! Hash browns could use some work!! Cute enviro!!
Amazing Art Deco interior. Great for kids. Food is pretty basic but ok.
Parking is easy here. Parking lot right next door to the restaurant . However you do have to pay 2.50bucks. So make sure you get validated or you'd be paying 10-20 bucks.
Popular late night hangout. Definitely the place to go for late night snack .
Perfectly mediocre diner . Paying ~2x prices for location and nostalgia. Fun once I guess, but very skippable
Breakfast is average, but fresh! Coffee isn't the best, but acceptable with sweets. Staff VERY friendly and helpful. :). Not too expensive considering location.
The French toast is pretty good and so are there burgers . Come here after hours to meet friendly people from Hollywood
Get a table on the far right side so you can see all the Friday night drama!
Parking lot next door is expensive $10 tonite. Meters on street $2 an hour or park at Hollywood & highland and walk across street!
Strawberry shake was incredible!
Elanor is the best. Ask for her on Mondays and Tuesdays. She is AWESOME!!!
grand opening 23 dec 1947. really thick milkshakes ( ask for no cream ir it cimes with a pile. pretty fast service . A food rating
WiFi password is "mels2010"
Sunset , the best hamburguer ever
The root beer floats are to die for!
Went to eat lunch ..after attending the 2014 soccer expo...We had the best service thanks to #PIPER ....LOVE HER!
Bummer... The fabulous all-day happy hour that this place had has been discontinued. No more spiked milkshakes . ????
Fantastic food
Get the avocado toast . Delish!
I absolutely love the onion rings and SPRING chicken !... Great taste! Plus... Strawberry shakes are a MUST too.
Nice milkshakes .. big burgers but not a big deal taste. 43 dlls 2 persons.

Get the Belgian waffle . You won't be disappointed.
Meatloaf Sandwich here is pretty good too!
Go in and to the left and they a cool old school bar with hip music and vibe!
The cheeseburger was very tasty.
There is absolutely nothing special here. Eating here is a basically just a novelty. I had the worst cheeseburger I've ever had in my life here. But besides that, I guess it's a cute place.
Yum mac&cheese????????
Authentic :-)
Sam is the best waitress ! She always remembers my order and is so sweet! Love her!
The Sliders are delicious
The menu is amazing! The Staff is very friendly . Try the club sandwich ... It's a monster!
The fries cost extra. But it is a yummy place.
Best milkshakes in town !
Chicken 'N' Wafflesis delicious!
Really good Dr. Pepper
key destination after a long night out. greasy, finger lickin good diner food .
The parking isn't free. 2.13 hr. which it's good there's parking but at the same time kind of crummy.
This is a nice place 2 go 2 & eat in Hollywood.
Try the Cobb Salad - #avocado #oliver

I’ve tried all the fried chicken in the area and this is by far the best. Always a line, but well worth the wait. - Lee Simpson
Great for vegans and their omnivorous friends. Vegan Cobb Salad is the can't miss; also great for vegan desserts, some days. - Matthew Poe
It’s pretty interesting walking around spotting the stars you know and love (as well as those you don’t). It’s a pretty seedy area overall, not as nice as is made out in film and on TV. - Paddy
The imax screen is so big and the seats are super comfortable. What an iconic location to watch a movie. - Josh Martin
Recently saw Star Wars there. It was quite the experience! Gorgeous, classic theater, laser shows, organ player. Awesome evening out and you get the total Hollywood Blvd. experience when you get out! - Narine
