Manny's burger + onion rings
Antonio G.

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.

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!

Delicious food with quick and great service! Clean place with natural lighting coming in through all their windows, nice quiet music playing. Love it here!

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.

Eggs, Sausage, hash Browns and toast.

A classic diner that is a throwback to the 50's. The menu is extensive and varied. The staff is friendly and the food is good.
