★★★★★ 5.0 DatWon Guii · Jan 2026

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. Lookin

Great experience! I was looking at movie locations of "Heat" and this place was great. Actually is the scene where Waingro escapes. Waiters and waitres were so kind and nice, and foods are really genuine! Thanks for the great time, it was wonderful having lunch there and sitting in the same place where the gang of the movie (Robert De Niro, Val Kilmer, Tom Sizemore and Kevin Gage) were talking. Definitely will be back

Stopped by Bob’s big boy to experience a meal here. This diner’s ambience is awesome, really brings you back to the rockin 70s. Service 10/10. Food was up to expectation ok, but not great 6/10. Overall it was worth the experience. Thank you

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.

No beer or wine available. This is an iconic place to be at. Burger are among the best
