Clark Street Diner

The Best Restaurants to Eat Alone in Los Angeles, According to Eater Editors | Eater LA

"Sometimes it’s nice to be alone with one’s thoughts — and a giant stack of buttermilk pancakes. Sidle up to a counter seat at this beloved retro-styled Hollywood diner, taken over by the Clark Street Bread group in 2021, and sip on a hot black coffee between bites of updated greasy spoon classics like eggs Benedict, waffles, or biscuits. For lunch, try the cheeseburger, the egg salad sandwich, or a Caesar. With hours extending into the evening on most days and no reservations, Clark Street offers a good all-day option for solo diners looking for a nostalgic breakfast situation. Plus, the parking lot in back makes it even easier to drop by." - Rebecca Roland
