Wendy's Place

On the Grid : Wendy's Place

"You'll get a plateful at Wendy's but you'll have to wait in line for it. On a weekend, you'll often see a hungry group gathered out front of the cafe waiting to feast on their country-styled American breakfasts. It's closed on Mondays and at 2pm every other day but you can get an early start there at 6am! Enjoy the warm, cozy feel of this El Segundo institution and dine among some of the most loyal clientele you'll ever know." - Eat.Sleep.Work.

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

"El Segundo’s nickname among locals is “Mayberry By The Sea” and spots like Wendy’s Place on Main Street are the reason why. The wood-paneled walls of this classic diner are covered in Norman Rockwell paintings and the plates look borrowed from grandma’s china cabinet. You'll sit next to regulars who've been occupying the same booth since the moon landing and wonder if you annoyed the waitress by asking for poached eggs. But that's all part of the charm. There's chicken fried steak for breakfast, and something called the Junior Club for lunch (a BLT with chicken salad on raisin toast). Expect to wait on weekends, and bring cash or have your Venmo/Zelle ready (no cards accepted)." - brant cox, sylvio martins, garrett snyder
