"A diner known to be a favorite of the late director David Lynch, where fans have created a makeshift memorial in his honor." - Rebecca Roland
"Bob's Big Boy may now be a nationwide chain, but Southern California is where it all began. Designed and built in 1949 by famed "Googie" style architect Wayne McAllister, this early Bob's in Burbank is nothing like its franchise cousins across the midwest. Every Friday night the parking lot fills with pristine classic cars, hot-rods, museum cars, and even a horseless carriage or two. Friday nights at Bob's is where classic cars come to tailgate. You can even still have food delivered to you car on the weekends, or if you choose to dine inside, perhaps sit at the "Beatles Booth" where the Fab 4 once enjoyed a bite from this classic American diner." - Jennifer Beatty
"Yes, as in that Bob’s Big Boy. Though the original in Glendale was demolished years ago, Burbank’s 74-year-old location lives on as the oldest Big Boy in America—and it’s overflowing with entertainment history. Sure, come here for a double-decker burger and a milkshake, but we know you really just want to sit in the same booth where the Beatles hung out in 1964 and blast the experience on social media." - brant cox

"This Los Angeles-based chain is also one of the region’s oldest. Head into the parking lot to get full car service from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Breakfast is available anytime, but so are the broiled burgers, Cobb salads, and outstanding onion rings." - Mona Holmes
