Best Late-Night Dining Restaurants in Los Angeles | Eater LA

"Since 1973, the Kettle has served one of the region’s largest menus perfect for late-night eating. Find classic diner fare like iceberg wedge salads, chicken tenders, and meatloaf platters on the menu, and make sure to get the buttermilk onion rings. The South Bay restaurant is open 24 hours on Friday and Saturday and until midnight during the week." - Eater Staff

4 Restaurants to Try This Weekend in Los Angeles: January 12 | Eater LA

"Perched on the hill above Manhattan Beach’s shoreline, the Kettle carries a timeless, small-town country vibe and remains beloved for its feel-good service and ample space across the dining room and wraparound patio. On recent visits I discovered the awesomeness of the crab cake Benedict, loaded with thick crab patties and covered with luscious hollandaise, and the fluffy buttermilk pancakes are also worth ordering even with a $2 surcharge for a side of real maple syrup. Afterward I like to mosey down to the water to see the winter high surf (which might mean the pier will be closed) and take a stroll down the Strand—there are few better ways to soak in a sunny California winter day." - Eater Staff
