    Impeccable steaks, decor and service. Very pricey, but wonderful for a bucket list item of eating at an L.A. fine dining institution. They’ve been here since 1921!!!

    The meaty softball-sized main is the centerpiece of a large, classic menu at the Sixth Street location, which has been providing steakhouse elegance 24 hours a day since 1921.

    Pricey but an awesome spot for a business lunch. The lamb burger was decent, though obviously the steaks are a must. Cheesecake hit the spot. My guest's creme brûlée was a bit runny though

    Excellent pricey but worth every dollar. Open 24x7x365. 2am Friday and Saturday mornings you see the most amazing people. The blueberry pancakes with apple bacon make a sweet after club breakfast.

    An L.A. all night dining institution made to look like a rail car, with pricey, high-quality steaks on the menu.

    A must do in the downtown area. A place to see and be seen for political insiders. Food tip- baseball steak with a glass of 1 of their fine single malt scorched. Open 24 hrs every day.

    Valet parking at $5.50 is mandatory even if you see a completely empty lot in the middle of the night. If you can find free parking closeby, go for it!

    It feels like a movie set—if the movie were a railcar-themed steakhouse. It’s open twenty-four hours, which is a small miracle in this town, although the food is mediocre at best. Read more

    This place really is partly an old railroad car, morphed into a white tablecloth restaurant, oddly open 24x7, and right next to Good Sam Hospital. It serves breakfast all the time.

    This place is open 24/7 365 days a year. It's great Christmas option for Jews who don't want to do Chinese again this year!

    Love this place. I'm the mayor. They didn't honor the 20% off though because the waiter had no idea what Foursquare was.
