Horseless Carriage Restaurant

"In LA, it’s not uncommon to find yourself eating meals inside gas stations, convenience stores, or someone’s backyard. But a Van Nuys car dealership? That’s a new one, or more accurately, an old one. Horseless Carriage has been around since 1966, serving as an on-site diner at Galpin Motors, presumably for people who need to kill time during an oil change. The crowd has more or less remained the same, and the food is much better than you’d expect. Slide into one of the aqua-colored bar seats, order scrambled eggs with chunks of sweet lobster, and let the guy next to you explain how they don’t make engines like they used to." - nikko duren, brant cox, sylvio martins, garrett snyder

"Horseless Carriage provides a full-service dining experience at Galpin Motors. Initially designed to serve car-buying and car-servicing customers, it has evolved under the management of chef Geovanni Euceda to offer a diverse menu including expertly cooked steaks, chicken fettuccine in a Champagne sauce, and daily produced fruit and cream pies." - Cathy Chaplin

"While it might seem strange to dine in a car dealership, have a little faith and head over to the sprawling Galpin Motors lot in North Hills. Since 1966, the Horseless Carriage has been serving up some of the area's finest diner fare to hungry car shoppers and in-the-know Valley residents. The Belgian waffle, which has been on the menu since day one, is crisp and airy in all the right places. Those in the mood for something savory will do well with chef Geovanni Euceda’s signature chicken fettuccine in a Champagne sauce or the scratch-made soup of the day. Save room for pie; the ones served at the diner are made on the second floor of the Ford showroom. A slice of coconut cream or fresh strawberry goes down easily." - Eater Staff

"LA Weekly has details on The Horseless Carriage out in North Hills. The odd restaurant was first conceived as a way to draw attention to an attached car dealership, but has since become a prime rib-serving staple all its own." - Farley Elliott
