The quintessential old-school diner in Los Angeles, Downtown's iconic greasy spoon on the corner of Figueroa and 9th serves everything from pancakes to t-bone steaks, all night, all day, and every day of the year. The bacon, ham steak & eggs, and french toast are popular picks.

A Westside fixture for decades, the Googie sign at Rae's is iconic on its own. It's hard to fault biscuits and gravy that are still priced from bygone days at $1.85, but the chicken-fried steak, club sandwich, and pancakes are special.

Now a steadily growing chain across Southern California, Norm's is a standard bearer for all-night diners, with plush, delicious pancakes and a massive menu of diner plates. The iconic design of the La Cienega location has been immortalized in film and art, but it's best enjoyed early mornings with that ridiculously cheap plate of steak & eggs.

This Westside icon has been serving loads of comfort food since the 50's, with an expansive dining room, friendly staff, and still-low prices. The all-you-can-eat fried chicken is worth getting if it's the right night of the week, as are the Dutch apple pancakes.

The pies are this Los Feliz icon are still amazing, especially the strawberry cream pie when they're in season. The charming coffee shop feel is great to experience late into the night. The regular diner plates are serviceable, but seriously, what's the name of the joint?

An Echo Park fixture for over a century, this iconic diner has changed hands over the years. The food has adopted to the times, with plenty of vegan options and terrific baked goods, but Brite Spot is still good for omelettes and pancakes. Basically anything to either fight or cure a hangover.

Serving Glendale since 1964, Foxy's is one of the best breakfasts in the city. The A-Frame building and expansive patio make it easy to linger until well past noon. The carne asada and eggs might be one of the most addictive dishes ever.

One of the city's truly iconic restaurants, Bob's still hosts car shows on Friday nights for fans of vintage wheels. The double-decker "Big Boy" burger is still a popular order, along with the ham steak breakfast.

This fancy coffee shop inside the Beverly Hills Hotel has been restored to its former glory, serving things like silver dollar buttermilk pancakes to corned beef on rye. There's also healthy options like vegetarian eggs benedict.

A Mid-City staple, Du-Par's has a great selection of pies and blue plate specials, like french toast, hotcakes or a complete breakfast, with coffee and all, for very cheap. Later in the day, there's a monstrous Monte Cristo for something that'll bust a gut.

A hidden gem in L.A., Mickey Fine looks like a pharmacy on the outside (and a famous one at that - it's where Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston would pick up prescriptions), but deep inside the building resides a breakfast and lunch counter where locals and office denizens pick up one of the cheapest meals in the Golden Triangle. The breakfast burritos are good, and the lunch-time patty melt is no slouch.
