It’s not just the decor that is great here, the food was really good, and the service too. The walls and ceiling are plastered with 50s Americana with 50s music playing in the background and a retro TV on the wall. The food was great,...juicy burger and excellent pancakes. Service was excellent too and the owner was really friendly, Haring time for a chat with our group. Definitely we will be making a return visit when we are in LA again.More
We were looking for a place to have breakfast and found this place. It was filled with a lot of memorabilia from the 50's. The staff was friendly and the food was good. Fun place to sit and have a good meal.
We searched a restaurant around 11 pm and found this one. The restaurant was decorated very very sweet for me as a tourist it looks like a real american restaurant. We had a sandwich and a salat the total price was 37 dollar. Was a...little to much for me.More
Ran across this place by accident and are SO very glad we did. Loved the 50s theme and the food was outstanding- be sure to save room for the chocolate cake. Service was very friendly but not very attentive which is why the rating is...only a 4.More
I adore Cafe 50's. I'm a fan of the era so was naturally drawn to it. I've been several times and am never disappointed. The decor is fabulous, very faithful to the 1950s era. The menu is themed of course and the food is excellent....The staff are very attentive and even the music is terrific. I wish the male restrooms weren't situated in the kitchen but that's my only minor complaint.More
Like a trip back to the fifties. Great decorations. It smelled great as we walked in the door. The service was great. We both got patti melts and they were wonderful. We highly recommend it and will definately stop by again.
We love Cafe 50's. It is located in WLA and close to the 405 Fwy. It can get busy and I don't think they take reservations, but the line, if any moves fast and you will be glad you waited. Parking for the most part...is on the street. Mind the signs. You will find a spot, we always do. It is just fun. They have toys for the kids and often have a magician there going from table to table (if you want) doing fun tricks. My grandson just loves this place. He gets a toy and plays with that while having one of their great milkshakes. They serve all classic American. Their breakfast is great and their burgers are super tasty. They have blueberry blintzes, grits, and real maple syrup for those great pancakes and waffles. Cafe 50's has booths and a counter. It is decorated with movie posters, adverts from the 50's. They have a classic Seeburg Jukebox, and I think it about 25 cents for a few songs. But there is always music playing. The service is fast and very friendly. We love it. It is packed with locals but tourist friendly and super kid friendly. Have a great time. This area of WLA is very safe, day or night.More
Ok so been to LA twice and each time we have gone to Cafe 50 for breakfast/Lunch. Kim is amazing she makes you feel that you’re welcome and stepping back in time to a traditional diner back in the 50’s/60’s. The food choice is fantastic...and great value for money for LA. We loved it so much that we went 3 out of our 5 times during our stay in LA. You have to go once, it’s a must stop and worth the drive even if you’re staying a distance away. Parking outside for $2 per hour and convenient. Kim you made our trip and experience and you didn’t disappoint, this was our second trip to LA and about our 7th visit here!!!!! Kim has 30 years experience working there and didn’t disappoint. Benji was always asking us if ok and made us feel welcome, what a great team!!!!!More
Popped in for dinner before a show at the nearby theatre. The perfect US diner experience! So many fabulous artefacts, great atmosphere and really nice friendly staff. Food was excellent too! Best burgers of our holiday!
Burgers, milkshakes, traditional American dinners and a great breakfast menu. Look for the good value "Blue Plate Specials" and don't miss turning the menu completely over and checking out the back for the daily specials, which are good value and could otherwise be easily missed.
