I may be a bit bias so I'll put it out there only as I grew up eating here, well here and ihop, n the occasional Denny's. Alas this sweet spot is an absolute gem. Folks are cool and chill. Workers are amazing almost always. Food is phenomenal especially as of late. Had gone here lately and saw they had a steak on the kids menu! So we ordered if and it was a real steak not mash ground beef. Legit, also the chicken tenders and mozzarella sticks seem to be hose made as well, oh and the marinara sauce is fantastic as well. I wouldn't put it past them if they actually make it in house as well. It's so fresh and it hits so good. So in an attempt to keep this brief, I highly recommend this place to any lonesome traveler or a family. Looking for a good time or especially a group of friends. Looking to reconnect and catch up. Definitely a pit stop would stop'n at.

If you dig a vintage vibe, then this is the place. The food is quality diner selections. The service has always been good and the tunes are great. This place is a bit of a movie star as it's appeared in a number of movies during it's previous life as Johnnie's. It's appeared in the 80's flick License to Drive, Heat (starting Al Pacino, Val Kilmer and Robert De Niro), Bob Dylan's music video "Things Have Changed", The Beach Boys: An American Family, The X-Files, What's Love Got to Do With It, Mad Men, The Country Bears, Reality Bites, Madonna's music video "What It Feels Like For A Girl", and many more. I love going here with the fam. However, if you plan on having weekend breakfast here, I suggest showing up early or there'll be a wait.

Went to this place with my family it was so delicious I would come back here again and again. Our server Angie, was such a wonderful server to have she would always ask if we needed anything or anything else to order. She was really nice and im thankful she served us. Best place have eaten here ever since I moved to Downtown La. The prices are so amazing and even the food here is superrr good. I got this amazing chicken sandwich, i will come back for this its so delicious and everything tastes so fresh.

The service was exceptional with that old-time homey vibe. The atmosphere was friendly and nostalgic. The burger and fries were pretty good, and it fills you up.

Food was fresh & service was excellent. Strawberry waffle tasted like it was from scratch! Strawberries not overly sweetened. So good! Ham steak was thick, juicy, & as big as the plate! Everyone loved what they got. Will be back for sure! Was worth the road trip!

This place never disappoints. That chili cheese spaghetti, their classic hamburger, that incredible hot fudge cake will leave you craving it once you've had a try. Make sure to ask for their special seasoning salt!

It had been a few years since I had visited here. This was the last chance we gave Bob's and he didn't disappoint. Food was very tasty. Service was great.

My daughter and I love coming to this diner. The staff is super friendly and the food is always excellent! I tried their chilaquiles with eggs, beans and steak and they were DELICIOUS!! The steak had the perfect temperature and it was super tender. My daughter loved the pancakes, turkey patties and the large mozzarella sticks. If you are a foodie like us you should definitely give this place a try!

We just flew into LAX and made the trek here for our breakfast/lunch (long, early flight). We had a long wait because the kitchen was backed up. The host was very friendly and great about communicating updates with us. Our waitress was amazing! The food was SO good!! Absolutely worth the wait! The chicken tenders are obviously made in house and amazing. The chilaquiles *chefs kiss*. I also got the peach boysenberry lemonade and no regrets! I wish I had ordered 2! I'll gladly go back if ever in the area again!

Food is great. Long long time customer. Over 40 years. This last two times I went. The waitress, she tipped herself the highest percent on the credit card device. Without asking me And the first time she was me leaving a tip and she just smiled, (I would have too). So now I will have to drive farther to go to another Bob's

Horrible experience at this restaurant! The cups were dirty! They had a film of white grease- like substance all around and inside the cups. I asked my wife to inspect them just to make sure I wasn’t being delusional. Sure enough she was able to scratch off some of the filth around the cup and I asked the server if she could please replace the drinks because the cups were dirty. The server said it was “frost” in the cups and that I was wrong. She made me feel like I was stupid . I couldn’t eat my food when it arrived. I know she did something to my burger or at least made me feel that way. I’m not one to complain about the servers or about the food but man I just have to make an exception. Never coming here again!

I've lived near this place for years and finally decided to check it out for myself. The food was made with absolutely no love! Service was okay but definitely better than the food. Waited about 20 minutes for a burger combo, paid extra for Chilli cheese fries and this is what I got. Needles to say I don't think I'll be going back. There's other burger joints down the street not far from this place I think I'll e checking those out instead next time I'm in the area and hungry.
