Chips is an adorable diner straight out of the 50s but with none of the cheesiness. You feel like a regular the moment you walk in. Our services Carlos was so kind and attentive. We got the Eggs & Chorizo and the country fried steak. Both were fabulous. We will absolutely be coming back!

This place is great. Everybody was very friendly. Seems like the place has lots of regulars which is a good sign. Very classic diner feel inside and out. The corned beef hash and eggs was really good. Some of the best corned beef hash I've had in a while. They have a parking lot in back and there's lots of street parking too.

There are a lot of great diners in LA and this is definitely one of them. It’s the classic 50s style diner with a huge menu, filled with all the classics that you would expect. They have a lot of different seating options available both counter and booth. Our server was really polite and also very attentive. It was really busy when we arrived for a 10:30 AM Saturday brunch but we only had to wait a few few minutes to be seated. They have a medium sized free parking lot attached to the side but it was full when we arrived so we had to do free street parking a block away near the church. As always, I started with a cup of coffee and it’s that true strong diner coffee that I love. For my meal today I chose the Chicken Fried Steak and it really hit the spot. Their gravy is not watery and it was a good sized portion. The pricing is also fair for all the items, so it really would be good for families or large groups. Overall a really delicious diner in the South Bay. I’m not in this area often, but I certainly would stop in again next time I am down that way, and would recommend to anyone else that’s in the area.

Absolutely one of the best breakfasts in LA! I had 2 eggs over-medium and they were cooked perfectly! Asked for crispy hash browns and we could almost break off pieces to eat it. Sour dough toast was sooo good. The bacon was smokey and cooked well. OJ was good. Believe it or not, I'm a connoisseur of iced tea. It was dark and clear. Delicious! The staff are friendly and helpful. The atmosphere is my fav. It takes me back to the diners we went to when I was a kid in the 60's!

Felt like Marty McFly when stepping into Chips. Retro feel and expansive space which looked and felt well maintained and clean. Food was hot and fresh and service attentive. It’s nice to have some Mexican breakfast options - and I had the machaca and it slapped. Lots of hot sauce options and it was a nice touch for the tortillas you could do half and half to get both flour and corn. A solid A tier contender for a breakfast rotation!

The food was pretty decent. We ordered the: Healthy Turkey omelette Kids 2 eggs, 2 pancakes, 2 bacon Chilaquiles with scrambled eggs Shortstack 2 coffees and 1 milk Total was about $65 before tip The omelette was okay needed some salt and pepper. The homestyle potatoes came out softer than I wanted 6/10 Chilaquiles were good, they would’ve been better with an over easy egg but can’t have raw yolk. 7/10 Their pancakes aren’t soft. They feel stiff on the outside and the syrup doesn’t get absorbed so it takes a bit to get into the pancakes. 4/10 Overall it was decent food. The service made up for it but it can get busy out of nowhere

Back to CHIPS in Hawthorne - the last time I ate here I was like 11 y.o. & my mom was still here. I returned today with my wife 41 years later. We had lunch then, a 🍔 & 🍟 s w/ a root 🍺 and it was good - I still remember. Today, we had breakfast and it was good. There are no turkey bacon or sausage substitute options so if you don't do swine 🐖 choose accordingly, my wife did. I enjoy 🐷 from time to time so it's all good. Their hotcakes 🥞 were on the dry side (hence 4 vs. 5 stars for food) but everything else was delicious. Wifey got a turkey omelette w/ country potatoes & a 🥞. I got Machaca & eggs - it was great. The refried beans appeared to be made with large pinto's or where moderately whipped/mashed. I splashed some Cholula on everything and tore it up.😋😋😆 Lastly, I love supporting local smaller businesses - especially old skool diners, hand written tickets, old memorabilia, a counter, and 'posivibes' exist here. I will return and hopefully they will redeem themselves on their hotcakes 🥞 Go check them out - I'll be back!✝️🛐

I don't live around Hawthorne but we were dropping someone off at the airport and had a little time to grab breakfast prior to the flight and BAM! We stopped by Chips and you can tell the place hasn't changed since pretty much the day it opened, a little bit of a blast from the past walking in here with the decor etc. The service was fantastic and she was extremely helpful, I got the chorizo and eggs that came with rice, beans and corn tortillas! It tasted good and our food was served within about 15 minutes. Definitely a place to swing by and grab a quick bite of food if your in the area.

Got the Tuna Melt sandwich with half fries half onion rings and washed it down with a sprite. It's a cute little diner on the corner with old school seats and decor. The place is a little bit old but still cute and well kept. The tuna melt sandwich was tasty, could you use a little bit of salt & tasted good with Tapatio hot sauce. The lady was very friendly. I went with my son and other kids, they had pancakes fries and chicken strips and they all finish their food. Then we all shared a delicious banana split. Prices are fair and they have a small parking lot in the back
