The Best Diners in Los Angeles - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"The Serving Spoon could technically double as a soul food spot, but the diner-esque menu leans towards breakfast more than lunch or dinner. You'll find families, big groups of friends, and solo diners who have been coming every week for decades for fried catfish and eggs. Waiting for a table is the norm any time of week, but on the other side are tremendous shrimp and grits, fried chicken drumettes, and our favorite thin, chewy-crisp waffles in town. If you can, snag a seat at the counter, where you’ll be treated to pleasant conversation with the waitstaff." - brant cox, sylvio martins, garrett snyder
