"Although Angelenos will probably always mourn the loss of the iconic 101 Diner, Zach Hall’s Clark Street Diner has not missed a beat in keeping the space alive. The 1970s touches — camel-colored booths and a jagged stone wall — were refreshed during the changeover without losing their charm. The menu updates nostalgic diner classics, from fluffy buttermilk pancakes made with Sonoran flour to avocado toast on Clark Street seeded sourdough. It doesn’t rely on nostalgia alone; it’s made a new name for itself among the great diners of Los Angeles. Weekend lines can get long, so expect a wait during peak hours." - Eater Staff
