You really can't do better for breakfast (or lunch) than popping into this Studio City mainstay. Homey and welcoming as ever, Good Neighbor has been kept clean and well-run through its many decades, and the food remains top notch coffee shop fare. Though it can be very busy on weekends, it was quiet this Thursday morning, so I was greeted and seated immediately. The menu features all the usual and expected options, from eggs and omelets to pancakes, burgers, salads, sandwiches and even egg salad that's "made to order." They've also added their own coffee bar in an adjunct space, so the hot drink options are extensive. Today, I ordered Corned Beef Hash and Eggs. The food came out quickly and pleasingly hot. The hash was well done and crispy (as requested), and had good flavor -- a nice balance of seasoning without being too salty. Eggs were also done exactly as requested, and the over medium yolks blended perfectly with the crisp hash. A side of cottage cheese was fresh, and the English muffin lightly toasted but properly warm to melt the butter. This may have been a traditional, old school, non-trendy breakfast order, but it was executed perfectly and was a satisfying start to the day. My server, Elza, was friendly and helpful, checking on me repeatedly, and making sure I had everything I needed. There are reasons this place has been here as long as it has -- and that's reason enough for you to head back soon. read more

My friend and I met for breakfast at this neighborhood hidden gem. We split the buttermilk pancakes and the chicken fajita, which consisted of chicken breast, bell pepper, onions, and Monterey Jack cheese. The buttermilk pancakes interestingly had more of a mochi texture--more springy vs fluffy, which I enjoyed more than the traditional pancake texture. The fajita omelette was a generous portion that came with toast. A very hearty breakfast indeed. The decor is a throwback to what you might imagine a classic country diner to look like. Our server completed the vibe by throwing in a "hon" while taking our order. Lol I'll have to head for those pancakes again soon! read more

I have been here for breakfast and loved everything I have ordered. This restaurant makes some traditional classics and home style favorites. The short stack pancakes are great to share and the eggs were yummy. Staff is friendly and personable. I recently ordered the Chinese chicken salad as takeout. The portion was huge for the veggies compared to the amount of chicken. I wasn't a fan of the dressing which tasted more like soy sauce than what I'm usually used to. This salad would benefit from adding mandarins or cucumbers but it's still a tasty option. read more

We stopped by for an early breakfast on a week day. Plenty of tables available. Glad this place offers a single pancake. The banana pancake was moist and a decent size. We were a bit disappointed with the protein meat we ordered. Both the chicken and trip tip steak were tough and way over cooked (felt dry). The eggs were perfectly cooked. Definitely need to come back to try the omelette. read more

This a fantastic place to hangout and nosh. It's a throw back to what good food and hanging out with friends is all about. On Cahuenga Bl. Right off the 101 freeway, and located in a small shopping center, parking can be tough. It definitely worth taking the time ! Service is friendly and accommodating. Not to mention fast and with a smile. There is a small coffee shop adjacent, same owner in case you just want a cup of Joe to go I ordered sausage and eggs, homestyle potatoes and toast, hit the spot. This place is adorned with photos of Monroe and James dean and other stars who have stopped in. Recommended on food and service This is a great diner read more

BORE-ritto. The most bland ass fries and burritos I've ever have. Overpriced. The crinkles fries terrible. If these weren't so expensive, I wouldn't have bothered to write a review, but to pay so much to have awful food. It's the biggest heartbreak I've ever had to have. read more

First time visitors to this restaurant and we loved it! Upon entering location, one instantly feels as though they have stepped back in time. There are many pictures of Hollywood stars of yesteryear hanging throughout the restaurants. Tables are avail for seat two to four guests and no booths which I loved for some reason. The restaurant definitely has an older vibe to it but in a very nostalgic kind of way. The service here was top-notch as everyone was extremely friendly, welcoming, hard-working and attentive. The food was EXCELLENT!! We had the honey hotcakes, French toast, turkey bacon and scrambled eggs and everything was cooked to perfection, very tasty and fresh. Everything about this dining experience was positive read more

Friendliest staff anywhere. With amazing food and the owners even greeted me! I would recommend this place if you are ever in the area. The parking lot can get full fast but there is parking all around! read more

If you're anywhere near Universal City or Hollywood and want a real breakfast spot--not some overpriced trendy brunch--this is the move. The highlight? Those spiral breakfast potatoes. They're not your typical hash browns--they come out crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy inside, and seasoned just right. Honestly, they might be the best breakfast potatoes I've had in LA. A lot of people specifically go there just for those, and after trying them, it makes total sense. The whole place has that classic diner feel--super welcoming, fast service, and portions that actually fill you up. It feels like a neighborhood spot where everyone's a regular, not some tourist trap. Pair the potatoes with eggs, pancakes, or their combo plates and you're set. Nothing fancy--just really solid, satisfying breakfast done right. read more

The service is really good. Delicious food. Really good restaurant to visit with family and/ or friends.

The food was 15 out of 10!! Entire team was amazing and kind!! Especially Chris who crushed it!! Don't complain about the parking because this is how LA is!! Old Hollywood vibes and old school clean dinner esthetics. Homemade food with high quality ingredients that were so fresh!! We will be back read more

This place was awesome! We had the specials. They were, tres tacos and the huevos rancheros. Super fresh and tasty. Our server was Elza and she was very friendly. I am pretty sure it's a family restaurant and I love that too. This place is right on the corner and has some parking right in front to the building. Even some cute outside seating too. We will be there again soon read more

Still consistent... Always great to experience their food + welcoming nature again, just as I did over 20 years ago (when I first began dining here!) Ordered breakfast and everything was perfect (pancake/eggs/turkey bacon/oj/coffee). While it's no longer in my general vicinity, I will began making the drive more often and grab some lunch (turkey burger and fries) in the near future... so glad they are still thriving after all this time! read more

Tasty food and great service. Exterior and interior could use an upgrade. I expected more for such a high rating.

A delicious diner in the valley. It's one of the better diners in the area which is already full of great and historic diners. It feels like you are eating in someone's home. I would classify this place as a classic country style diner. The sort of place where locals lineup to have their daily meal and there is always a revolving board of specials. They have a fairly large menu with a ton of options on it and service is very fast. Our waiter was also really polite and we were checked in on many times by many different employees. They have a small parking lot attached to the front of the restaurant, otherwise it will be free street parking in the neighborhood behind. As mentioned, the menu is pretty large so it took me a minute to decide which dish I wanted to order. I ended up choosing the Eggs Alla Fisdale because Eggs Benedict is my favorite breakfast dish. This one is unique because they use a cheddar cheese sauce, which basically tasted like a cheesy hollandaise. It was honestly delicious and really made the meal. The eggs were cooked perfectly and I loved it. We also split a Banana Pudding for dessert and it was good but nothing special. We ordered some Caramel Lattes to begin our meal, and they were very tasty and strong. I would recommend them. Overall a delicious diner with fair pricing and free parking. I would recommend to anyone searching for a great breakfast option in the valley. read more

I have to start by saying I have been going to Good Neighbor for over 40 years. And in all that time it has been consistent. It is a very tasty breakfast restaurant. The atmosphere is inviting. The service is great. The staff is warm and friendly. It is a popular place for the Hollywood community. Great omelettes, pancakes, French toast, BLTs, read more

Food was good. Service was amazing. Ambiance was friendly. Definitely will go back. Big portions decent prices.definitely will go back.

Great breakfast and brunch spot with tasty food, friendly service, and very reasonable prices. The portions were generous, everything came out fresh, and the overall atmosphere was warm and welcoming. read more

The place is clean. The staff was friendly. It's a classic diner feel. Their buttermilk chocolate chip pancakes were tasty. The pancakes were fluffy. Cooked through, but not tough. The side order of link sausage was good and a nice salty flavor to the sweetness of the pancakes. Their drip coffee was good. Robust but not bitter. Sometimes diner coffee can be watery. This was a nice cup of coffee. Street parking available. Limited parking in front of the restaurant. We went during the week. It wasn't crowded which we liked. I can imagine on Saturday and Sunday this place is crazy busy. read more

Must go! We stopped here for brunch before heading home from a trip to Universal Studios and were so happy with our experience! The staff is so friendly, and the food absolutely delicious! We ordered 3 breakfast dishes, an apple pancake and a the Cahuenga Special (1/2 sando + soup or salad). For breakfast, the bacon and eggs were cooked to perfection and the potatoes, ohhhhh my the potatoes! These potatoes are perfection... crispy outside and light fluffy insides, these are up there with the best potatoes I've ever had and are definitely the best breakfast potatoes I have ever had!! You must order these! All in all, such a nice experience, great food, cute ambience, and wonderful staff.... Be sure to eat here!! read more

Ever since I moved out of LA this is one of my most missed breakfast/Lunch spots. Great omelettes, French Toast, Waffles, all things Breakfast-Y are done super well here. Lunch items, that I had, were great but I generally stuck to breakfast. Back in around 2017 I was eating w/ my ex & at the table behind ours was seated Keith Carradine & brother Robert and their wives/dates/friends. The Carradines were hilarious & spent around 10 minutes after their meal, to stand around & chat. But the food here is the BIG star! Everything else is just gravy on top..... read more

The service was good they or fast with delivering the food. The only problem is the coffee taste like water. The food is overpriced and the pancakes taste like the ones from McDonald's. they taste like box mixed pancakes. The omelette was the only thing that I liked so if you're gonna go here and get the omelette The decoration is nice, but I would not recommend going here again not the best.. read more

A lovely little restaurant we came across after we finished doing some work in LA. It was fairly crowded when we arrived and happy that an open table magically appeared just as we were thinking about trying another place to eat. The service was exceptional- personal yet very efficient at taking our orders and serving our food as soon as it was ready. Our breakfasts were delicious! Loved the super crispy potatoes alongside perfectly cooked eggs. Only regret was that we don't live closer so we could come back more often:) read more

I stopped by Good Neighbor Restaurant to grab a quick bite to eat before a workout. This was my first time visiting the restaurant. The service was overall good but I did get a lot of stares when I walked in which made me feel very uncomfortable. They didn't have many vegan options so I ordered the breakfast potatoes. The breakfast potatoes looked more like home fries or crispy thick fries sautéed with veggies. The dish tasted ok. I might visit again and ask for more sautéed veggies on the potatoes. I think that would make the dish even better. read more

I've been here several times over the last couple of years. It's consistently one of the most warm and comfortable diners in LA. Shoutout to Sierra (server) for inspiring this review! Food is good and definitely feels like you're eating something homemade. It's very run of the mill diner type of food, not super flavorful, but add salt and pepper to your liking and it's great! I've enjoyed it every time. Old school decor with a bunch of old Hollywood stars on the walls. It's also located right across universal studios theme park. Service is fantastic! They're super attentive and kind. But I have been here when it's hectic on a Sunday morning and you'll find them rushing a bit. But the service makes up for it. If you're looking for a trendy brunch place where food is made for either IG/tiktok or for foodies to rate, this isn't it. But if you're looking for a warm and "neighborhood" friendly type of environment that's casual and feels like home, this is your place! Keep in mind it closes everyday at 2pm! There's a good amount of parking in the lot as well as the cul de sac up the street. read more

Excellent local breakfast spot! The nicest attentive staff you will find and the food was excellent too. Would highly recommend.

The were also great thier was 5 of us all.of us really like thier food. Hopefully we get a chance to visit family and eat here again. Usually on trips I like to try different places. But it's hard to.pass up a.place you k or that has great food and service. read more

Good Neighbor Restaurant is a Studio City Staple. This quant little spot has been doing breakfast, lunch and brunch for 50 years. Its been a long while since I've been here and it was nice to be back, however I was sad to see that they no longer serve coffee in proper cups - everything is in paper or plastic. Coffee is served in a paper cup. Water in plastic. When I go to a restaurant and sit down for breakfast, I'd like to drink coffee out of a ceramic cup - but hey that's just me. On the positive side, the service was nice and friendly. Elza took good care of us. The Corn Beef Hash & Eggs dish was tasty, and the Corn Beef was not too salty. The Eggs Ala Fisdale is also very good. This dish is like Eggs Benedict but instead of Hollandaise sauce, they serve a Cheese Salsa. On both dishes we asked for the Cottage Fries, which were really like French Fries served with Green Bell Peppers and Onions. The side of bacon was just as requested - crispy. Overall it was a good meal and we will be back . . . and I might bring my own coffee cup. read more
