    Counter seating with classic decor. Nice update to have the TV for football scores, according to my husband lol

    Chips is a classic neighborhood diner with retro interiors and outside architecture. Their service is outstanding! The perfect place for a brunch or lunch if you're in the neighborhood, or coming from the church across the street. They have specials too like pozole on weekends. I opted for the 2-egg breakfast because it's a good measure of a diner. Everything in the breakfast was simple, and perfect. Crispy hashbrowns and bacon, over-medium eggs, and I swapped out the toast for a fluffy biscuit with creamy sausage gravy. My husband's omelet was equally done right, and they kept the coffee coming. I say excellent service because they even thought to bring over a plastic spoon for my son, who's only 6 months and starting solids. They made his plain scrambled egg well-cooked for him too. We will be back, and soon!

    We came across Chips while on vacation, and this mom-and-pop restaurant was fabulous! It has an old-school vibe and the friendliest staff ever they took such great care of us. We came for breakfast and absolutely conquered it! I ordered the chilaquiles and eggs with red sauce, and it was to die for one of the best I've ever had. Everything was made to perfection. My fiancé ordered the soup of the day and a BLC (no tomato, replaced with cheese) with extra bacon. BOMB.com! Again...made perfectly. Our friends were with us too one ordered a grilled cheese and said it hit the spot, and the other ordered carne asada and eggs and cleared her entire plate! To say the least, this restaurant was a win for us, and we'll definitely be back!

    Manny's burger + onion rings

    Chips Restaurant in Hawthorne is the real deal! I had Manny's Burger with onion rings, and both were absolute perfection--the burgers ( yes burgers) were juicy and flavorful, and the onion rings were crispy and golden with just the right amount of crunch. The service was top-tier--friendly, fast, and full of genuine hospitality that made me feel right at home. Parking is super convenient too, with plenty of spots in the lot and easy street parking. One of the coolest things? This spot is a slice of Hollywood history--Pulp Fiction and other iconic movies, TV shows, and commercials have been filmed right here. It's got that classic vibe you can't fake. If you're in the area, this place is a must-visit for great food and a taste of cinematic nostalgia!

    What a gem!! Loved everything about our breakfast here! The food was awesome. Their gravy for their biscuits and gravy was a different flavor than the usual. It wasn't too rich, but it was flavorful and the biscuit was nice and fluffy. The home potatoes were original and fresh and the soft scrambled eggs were done to perfection. The waffles were nice and crispy on the outside and really chewing on the inside almost like a mochi waffle- so good. I couldn't resist the peach waffles as I've never heard of that before and the combination between the canned peaches and the waffles were phenomenal. The ambience, the setting the decor was beautifully done. I don't know if it was original, but it sure looked nostalgic. The place was clean and neat. Finally, the service was completely on point. You could tell our server had many years of experience. He handled every single person in the breakfast crowd plus the cash register all by himself. He came through and checked on us at least four times during our breakfast. Hands-down, I would recommend chips and I hope to get back there again real soon. Now that I think about it, it might be tomorrow!

    The service was great, the prices were fair and the restaurant seemed clean. The breakfast choice I made was pretty much...meh. The waffle was ok, the eggs were ok and the sausages were greasy as can possibly be. This breakfast gutbomb followed me around for hours afterwards. I would probably have a burger or a sandwich next time but overall I say you should try this place. The googie style of the building and old diner ambiance is also worth a trip here.

    Oh my, why haven't been here before. My son ordered the patty melt and a chocolate shake first off with the chocolate shake They use old fashioned ice cream. It's either Carnation or Thrifty ice cream and if you like your shakes on the thick side you don't have to ask. They do it. They also leave an extra chunk of ice cream at the very bottom of the metal container. We also ordered pozole and Menudo soup which you can compare to with your mother or grandma very little fat really good. Has a little spice to it but you could spice it up more. Highly recommend this place service is awesome. They're always filling up your cup of coffee or water or whatever else you have and they're coming by asking. Ambience is definitely old school from the late '50s '60s counters boost and everything else extremely clean. Even the bathroom definitely coming back. This place is going to make my rotation no places to go to.

    3 stooges menudo, chilaquiles

    Awesome! I lived here for over 20 years and first time here. French toast w eggs and bacon (3 stooges), chilaquiles and had to try the menudo . French toast had a nice crisp and w butter, almost didn't need syrup. I always want it with eggs and bacon and I'm glad they think so too. Chilaquiles plate was clean and menudo was beyond expectations. It had a hammock (?) Bone with tendon that I cleaned off. Lots of tripe and hominy. They didn't skimp on toppings, 3 big lime wedges, oregano, onions so sweet, cilantro and red pepper. I put all of them in and it's a melody of textured and flavors (and I'm not even spanish). Service so friendly and servers were happy and talking to everyone. Unlike the restaurant that we went to before this one that we left because after being given menus and watching everyone get served before us (starts with Ta). Like in Pretty Woman, "Big mistake!" See you soon Chips!

    Chicken Fried Steak

    There are a lot of great diners in LA and this is definitely one of them. It's the classic 50s style diner with a huge menu, filled with all the classics that you would expect. They have a lot of different seating options available both counter and booth. Our server was really polite and also very attentive. It was really busy when we arrived for a 10:30 AM Saturday brunch but we only had to wait a few few minutes to be seated. They have a medium sized free parking lot attached to the side but it was full when we arrived so we had to do free street parking a block away near the church. As always, I started with a cup of coffee and it's that true strong diner coffee that I love. For my meal today I chose the Chicken Fried Steak and it really hit the spot. Their gravy is not watery and it was a good sized portion. The pricing is also fair for all the items, so it really would be good for families or large groups. Overall a really delicious diner in the South Bay. I'm not in this area often, but I certainly would stop in again next time I am down that way, and would recommend to anyone else that's in the area.

    Hey Hey! So I have been wanting to try Two Hommes' in Inglewood for a while now..buttt I'm in the…read moreIE and it's a 1.5 hr drive. I was able to satisfy my craving tonight. It was well worth it. Wait for a table for 1 for 30 minutes give or take, and was informed of the wait! But I do understand why! It was packed, like that but what I loved was seeing the engagement everyone was having with each other with others with the staff as the undertones of RnB music played in the background! With everything going on in the mess up country we living in right now I loved it! Now, the good and bad stuff! The good: the wait staff were attentive and quick. I sat towards the back at the bar, could have easily been forgotten about, never felt I was. They were great! The food: EXCELLENT! The lamb hummus and bread Oh my Lord, a must try the bread alone was , Then the Pildoff(not sure I spelled that right lol) I do not do spicy, it looked beautiful I could see it was packed full of flavor just too spicy for me, I'm weak. Catfish was cooked to perfection and served with black beans. I totally enjoyed my food, the atmosphere and many conversations with laughter and my lemonade. Next time I'm trying the garlic noodles. Now the bad: I honestly do not have anything bad to report...well maybe, wish I wasn't so full and tired I would have stayed and tried another dish. Can't wait to go back! Wishing you two gentleman continued success! Damn good food!

    Outstanding restaurant in all aspects! I love the service and how much the staff cares about their…read morecustomers. But the food is ABSOLUTELY SCRUMPTIOUS. I am a picky eater and every time I taste something here, I'm a forever fan. I love the seasonings, the options, and the way the food makes me feel like I'm being transported through Ghana while also tasting the comforts of down-home cooking. If you want an exquisite experience, please consider booking a special event in the private dining room. My retirement dinner was hosted there and Chef Mando and Chef JB made sure my celebration was extra special. The ambiance was second to none! I hear their music/entertainment nights are also a big hit.
