Nickel Diner

It’s the second time to visit and first time since Covid. We are so glad everything hasn’t changed so much even after the pandemic. The staff was super nice and sweet. The menu is still very good. We had the barbecue pork with poached eggs and sausage with eggs and of course the pastry. All were super tasty! If you are in downtown, it’s worthy to come and check!

Great hash. Sweet spicy way to start a Saturday . I love that the servers come to your table with freshly made donuts that they made. REALLY? Yes Get in here. Once named in the top 10 breakfast haunts in LA. Get your buns in here.

The food and the service were both excellent! The owner was very personable and visited with us and gave us some history about this wonderful diner! We definitely will be returning! Something you don't want to miss if you're in LA!

It’s been about five years since I’ve eaten here and I’m so glad it hasn’t closed. The food continues to be delicious and well priced despite inflation. I got the 10¢bag and it was really yummy. The specials offered were yummy and the desserts too! Sad they did not have their red velvet cake. It used to be legendary!

This place is amazing I love the atmosphere and customer service. We were seated quickly and the food was not a long wait either. They serve different pastries daily they would check in with us periodically to see if we needed anything else. We parked in front of the place and put quarters in the meter we didn’t know if it worked or not due to all the graffiti that was on the screen but I would say bring quarters just in case better safe then sorry. This was a lovely experience I highly recommend anyone to eat here.

We were in LA for the day and didn't know where to stop for breakfast. We got lost and ended up on this street. This restaurant is small but the food was good. I got the chilaquiles. The portion sizes are smaller than most places. The prices were medium fairly priced. Nice place and we'll be going back. The parking was off the street and the meter was free because of the time of day that we went in. Parking was free for 2 hrs.

The wait staff was great. Food was good, but I felt the corned beef I got was lacking a bit. Hard to say exactly what. Maybe both sides should have been grilled. The eggs were also a little over. The biscuit was great. Be sure to ask for jelly if they didn't bring any.

Took my mom for breakfast because she was in town and leaving right afterwards. It needed to be somewhere close and not packed as a lot of places get busy on Sunday for breakfast. It’s been years since I’ve visited this place and what can I say…it’s was such a good experience!! We parked on Los Angeles since we couldn’t find street parking on main..walked just a block to get here and were seated immediately! The staff was attentive, friendly..they checked in very often but not intrusive! Right after we sat down we ordered some home made pop tarts and they were buttery, sweet, flaky crust paired with coffee very well. The music is what we would listen to and had us in a good mood…I seen the owner again what a hard working woman and so cool! For starters My niece got a pancake and apple juice! My mom and I chose from the weekend specials menu…we got the chilaquiles over black beans with two poached eggs topped with cheese and crema and the breakfast burrito with salsa verde poured over it! The chilaquiles were amazing..sauce was spicy and I can handle spice but it was flavorful not overwhelmingly spicy just right. The tortillas were fried perfectly still a bit crunchy even with the sauce on there and the black beans below! The eggs still runny, over all my favorite. The burrito was filled with an egg scramble with mushrooms and cheese, sausage and potatoes. It was good as well! Had a great meal…and time! Be back next time.
