Love this hidden, old school gem! It is cash only, so come prepared. I always find easy street parking and like to sit inside when I can. The interior is a total throwback, complete with the cooks wearing tall paper hats! The food is solid and inexpensive and is served quickly. My favorites are the French toast, general breakfast, and patty melt. No frills, great experience!

Great team over there! Iconic establishment all around. Hoping we can continue to help preserve historic diners and coffee shops indefinitely.

I am full when I leave here for a very affordable price. The staff has always been great. Other diners charge up to 3 bucks more for corned beef and hash I get at Raes. This place is BOMB

Good diner food and reasonably priced. There's nothing pompous about this place but the portions are big and the food is good. Easy place to go for a non-fussy bite. Please bring cash though - as that is the only payment accepted. In exchange, it won't break your bank (grilled cheese $5 - is reasonable anywhere, let alone LA)

Delicious and cheap diner food pared with good service and outdoor seating in the parking lot. Cash only!

Classic greasy spoon diner. Warm atmosphere, good food, generous portions and inexpensive. Will be back!

Solid comfort food in old school diner setting. This is the type of joint that's kinda rare these days. Filling food, good prices, friendly service. This is NOT a franchise type place. This is the way many diners used to be. Ate breakfast here a couple of times and it's all I wanted it to be. Enjoy.

Very old school diner. Excellent veggie omelette served w potatoes and toast for $9.50. Cash only.

Very mellow easy going diner with great prices and extremely friendly service!. Pet friendly and good biscuit and gravy. The veggie omelet is delicious! You can park in the neighborhood except for Mondays. This is a breakfast and lunch restaurant

Good greasy spoon. Very reasonably priced. Only accepts cash.
