    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

    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!

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!👍

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

    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).

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

    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.
