10. Tom's Burgers
Reviewed By bsimonis
There's a pretty extensive menu at Tom's Burgers, it's a little hard to read behind the counter on a large flat screen. Even though the sign said burgers and pastrami, we opted for the steak sandwich. The wait wasn't long and we settled on the open to the air patio to have our meal. The steak sandwich was large served on a soft french roll and the meat was a little overcooked to our liking. The steak was thin, more like prime rib and well done. The fries were hot and good. This is a good spot for a quick bite, but don't set your expectations high.
9. Boston Market
Dinner is always ready. Boston Market is the rotisserie expert, serving the kind of meals that help mom draw everyone to the table. From our fresh, never-frozen whole rotisserie chicken to our fresh-baked cornbread and wide variety of family-favorite side

There are tastier, pricier options not far away, but at Boston Market you can get a good, low fat, low sodium meal that is neither bland nor flavorless. Many choices for sides, including several salads. Unlike many fast food places, their soups are from scratch. It makes sense that when they started boning their chicken and making sandwiches, they were left with bones and pieces too small to put into a sandwich. Making soup with that portion of the chickens and taking advantage of vegetable scraps and adding some noodles makes a very nice soup. Currently serving turkey, ribs, and meatloaf as well as chicken.Unlike when they first opened, if you eat there you eat on a real plate with real flatware. They carry your plate to your table, so no more juggling either.You would need to stand in line to order, but they have changed the way the steam table are set up so it is very efficient, and I imagine the line would go quickly. A foodie would not be likely to be extremely impressed. I found the food as good as Marie Callendars or Carrow's though the vegetables were softer than my preference. it was less expensive than either for basically the same food.

If you've been to one Denny's you've been to them all. This one is no different. If you're looking for your basic breakfast with no frills and want to get in and out quickly, this Denny's will fit the bill. The service could have been a bit quicker, but other than that, it was fine. There's really not much you can say about a Denny's.

We enjoyed our breakfast at Nickel's Diner. The food was good and the atmosphere was nostalgic. It was close to the loft apartment we rented for our visit to Los Angeles. Prices were high but this is downtown Los Angeles so it is understood. We like the Pantry better and it has similar prices.

3. Urth Caffe

Reviewed By ProPhotoLA
If you think you're the first to discover the newly hip, downtown warehouse district scene, think again. This quasi-healthy restaurant often has lines snaking out the door, it's so popular. And yes, with enough self-discipline, you can eat an extremely healthy meal here: salads and vegan options abound. But most people fall victim to their unforgivably-sinful dessert options, baked on the premises. You think it matters that the coffee in your caffe latte is organic when the other ninety percent of it is pure, inorganic butterfat? Oh, please. No matter, Urth Caffe is an Arts District staple, and while you may not come away any closer to spiritual enlightenment, you definitely won't come away hungry or disappointed. Parking, if you are as valet-phobic as I am, can be a problem. But after that apple tart that is no less deadly because it's made with .001% whole wheat, a walk of a few blocks would probably do you good. The neighborhood is safe, in spite of appearances; in fact, it's part of the allure. Go for it!

Had never been here before but my husband loves diners so of course we had to go. We had 2 teens with us and one very picky one with allergies and they were able to accommodate. The food was delicious. The staff was friendly and quick. Never a drink went dry. loved this place. Would absolutely recommend this place for Burgers, Fries, shakes and I had a cobb salad. Loved it.
