Did a quick visit to Battleship Iowa museum down at the Harbor of San Pedro with my family. After walking around the ship for a couple of hours, we were starving. Food offerings on board were limited. A quick yelp search turned me to Happy Diner, about four blocks from the museum on Centre Street in San Pedro (a 15 minute walk, although we drove due to mobility issues). They were in their last hour of service, but were friendly and welcoming. It was diner food, but honestly, hit the spot in that moment. I got the chili, and it was good. I would return if in the area again. read more

Pretty good spot for breakfast. We arrived on a Saturday morning before 9am and it wasn't packed. Which was good because there isn't a ton of inside seating. The hostess was friendly when we walked in. We sat at a table in a the back. There are a couple of TVs back there, so that was nice. We ordered the Country Scrambler and the Denver Omelette with potatoes and an English muffin. The portions were huge! My country scrambler was good, but lacked a little bit of flavor. The gravy was pretty bland. My mom enjoyed her omelette. Service was quick. The employees were friendly and the coffee was continuously full. Would be back if we are in the area. read more

Visiting my brother from Boston who told me to try the Happy Diner. I was pleasantly surprised. Extensive menu. Friendly and courteous staff. Most importantly, the food! I decided to try something I have never seen before... a Chile Relleno omelette. One of the best omelettes I have ever had! Take a look at the photos and decide for yourself. Great dining experience at a reasonable price. read more

Great little local diner After two cups of decent coffee, still didn't have a true breakfast. So I went to the closest place that offered some breakfast fare and this place popped up. It's a very small diner lodged in the middle of two other buildings in the same strip. The chef asked me to sit anywhere and I took a seat in the middle of their hallway seating. Their menu is extensive, going over many dishes and styles. Flustered with choice, I asked if they had an avocado toast and they mentioned they had one as a special. I ordered that and waited. This specific spot has a strong local focus. Lots of regulars funneled in and took their normal seats. Lots of friendly banter and casual conversation between the staff and customers. You get a sense of the community with this place, which is a nice touch. For my avocado toast in LA, took a bite and was underwhelmed. Wasn't bad, avocado was fresh and there was a good crisp to the bread and a good amount of garlic. Eggs were seasoned and runny, and as a breakfast dish it was done well. But it wasn't amazing. It was good, just not stellar. It's clear that they do good work, and they got a dedicated crowd so their consistency is on point. But this did not wow me, it was just a well executed avocado toast. Price was high for the dish, that was expected though. Staff was great, food was good, just not much to want me to rave about it. It's a better breakfast spot than the hotels in the area, good if you're in the area but not trek worthy. read more

My husband and I did a back to back cruise and decided to take a walk to this restaurant after we disembarked and before we boarded again. A friend joined us, and it was about a 20-minute walk from the cruise port. We shared the Corned Beef Hash, which came with two eggs, home fried potatoes, and toast. Our friend ordered a Biscuit and Gravy and eggs. Everything was absolutely delicious! In fact, our friend stayed on the ship for another cruise and went back to Happy Diner again. We will definitely go back again. I highly recommend stopping by if you are ever in the area! read more

This is the sweetest family-owned diner in San Pedro. The menu is EXTENSIVE and everything tastes great because it's made with love. Yesterday we came here for a late lunch and I enjoyed the salmon salad- the salmon is grilled fresh to order with capers on fresh greens. I tasted my husbands cheddar broccoli soup and it as divine. My husband enjoyed a BLT while my kids had chocolate chip pancakes. This morning I made an avocado toast out of the breakfast platter- you just order the avocado on the side and assemble it yourself. My kids enjoyed the waffle and eggs and my husband loved their burrito. The ambiance is typical busy diner with local regulars, TVs with the new playing. Service is friendly and fast. read more

SO good! My husband and I shared an Azteca Omelette with corn tortilla and potatoes. The carnitas is made in house (the sauces are too). So moist and flavorful. The salsa had the right amount of heat and lovely texture. Just a hint of cheese. The cactus added a different texture and mild flavor. It was amazing! And so was the service. Our server even brought our order out on two separate plates without being asked to. Everyone was so nice. When we go to diners we love sitting inside...and there was awesome energy here.

Stopped in for breakfast and had a really good experience. Parking lot is a little tricky because it always seems to be packed. I ordered the veggie omelette with hash browns, corn tortilla, and a glass of orange juice. Everything was fresh and cooked just right. The omelette was packed with vegetables and topped with Jack cheese. It wasn't overly greasy, which I appreciate. Hash browns had a nice crisp on the outside and the corn tortilla was a great touch. Orange juice tasted freshly squeezed. Service was friendly and quick, and the place had a relaxed, local feel. Definitely a solid spot for breakfast if you're in the area. read more

I loved this place! It's like a hole in the wall with amazingly good food and lots to choose from. They serve a lot of breakfast food, burgers, salads, pasta, and Mexican food. We found this place by accident. We were at the Los Angeles Cruise Port but was there super early and couldn't check into our cruise. With time to kill and stomachs growling, we asked around if there was a place we can grab a quick bite to eat. All the locals pointed us to this restaurant. So, we decided to make the 20 min or about a mile, walk to the diner. I was kind of glad we were walking because I needed the exercise before getting ready to binge eat on the cruise. We got to the diner and I was surprised how many great options they have available. I looked around to other patrons and all their food looks so good. I couldn't decide so I finally settled on menudo and Chilaquiles, both were super good. If I'm ever in the area again, I will definitely make this a must to stop in. My cousins liked it so much, they went back after the cruise! read more

It's a hole in the wall, but the food is awesome and the staff are great! Due to the pandemic, they have a really nice outdoor patio set up. Sunny, but umbrellas available. I ordered the fresh berry waffles, and I was not disappointed. There was a pile of fresh banana, blueberries, and strawberries. No compote or previously frozen fruit here. Like I said, indoor seating consists of small tables squeezed into a small space. Even the restroom is strangely laid out. It's a tiny, narrow hallway. Old building, old school design. There's plenty of nearby metered street parking. If you don't mind walking, the next block over is free street parking. read more

As its name implies, Happy Diner has the feeling of entering in to a truly old school diner. Once you go through the front door, it feels like one of those places from times gone past. Diner is not just describing the general atmosphere, it's also describing the food. The food here is very traditional Americana but it is served with a flair. It is all very good with nice presentation. Since the pandemic, they have construction a very nice dining deck in front of the restaurant, as well. This is always my favorite area to eat at this restaurant. The tables are well spaced and it is a very inviting dining area. As stated, the food here is very good. In fact, it is one of those surprisingly good places. Most diners and coffee shops don't really take the time and the energy to do their food right. This is not the case with the Happy Diner, the food here is done very well, using very fresh ingredients. One of the nice things about this place is that they open early in the morning. This is a great thing, if you want to come in and have an early breakfast as most places don't open until around 9:00 AM. Overall, if you're in the San Pedro area this is a great place to grab breakfast lunch or dinner. read more

However, when paired with their slightly spicy salsa (which doesn't come with the dish, but you can ask for), it was fantastic. Seriously, ask for the salsa. You'll thank me later.

Currently one of thirteen Johnny Rocket's branded burger and shake stands on Royal Caribbean boats,…read morethe Johnny Rockets on the Navigator of the Seas/Royal Caribbean is located on the main pool deck. The partnership began in 2007, and continues today. Our location is located outdoors, opposite to the El loco Fresh mexican cantina. It is an a la carte menu, very focused on burgers, fries and shakes. I've never tried a burger from them on a ship, but decided to try an ice cream shake (since it's not offered at any of the complementary eating places). We were on a back to back cruise on the Navigator, so once we were back on the boat, waited till 11 am (when they opened) to get two shakes (oreo and strawberry). Normally $5.50 (non-alcoholic), any previous sailing customer (i.e. someone with at least one previous sailing on RC) will get two 50% 'coupons' for a shake. Everything onboard automatically gets charged a 18% gratuity, so total for each shake was $3.54 (including the LA tax since I got it while in port). Like everything else here, it gets charged to the room, being settled up right after we disembark. The shakes were handmade, using soft serve vanilla ice cream as the base. Oreo crumbles or strawberry syrup was added along with milk, to make a pretty decent shake. Enjoying it right now while writing this review when I still have cell service before we head back to Mexico.

Got the Bacon & Eggs Breakfast. Very good breakfast. What made this breakfast really enjoyable was…read morethe salsa. I confirmed with the waitress that the salsa was made in house. Normally, I put Tapatio on my hash browns and use the eggs, bacon and toast to make a mini breakfast sandwich. Today, the red salsa was perfect for the hash browns. The green salsa on the eggs were so good that I did not make my usual mini breakfast sandwich. I ended up just eating the eggs with the green salsa. Service was extremely friendly. Before the end of my meal, the chef asked me if I enjoyed my meal. JDH is located in a small strip mall so parking is limited. I was fortunate enough to find parking around the corner in the residential area. JDH has a small dining area with about six tables. JDH definitely has that warm mom and pop dining feel.

The places you find when your not really looking. We stumbled here while heading to another place…read morefor brunch. That didn't go so well as it wasn't what we were expecting. And then this place popped up. Of course we were literally around the block from it beforehand. It's a cute little cafe nestled right among a cute little residential block. It's like a if you know you know type of place as it's not on a main street. Literally at the end of a block where's its basically homes. So a neighborhood cafe. There was plenty of seating as it was mid week during lunch time. We walked in which has an open concept with the wide window looking outside. There's a bar area with counter hi top seating and a nice patio out front with umbrellas covered tables. It was a little breezy but had to make do as we had the little pup with us. Checked in with one of the server which she informed us to have a seat anywhere we like. A good amount of the guest did occupied the patio seating which we did to as it was nice out when your in the sun but a little breezy. Menu wise, it's mainly breakfast and lunch. They only open till 3. We started off with the bubbly special which was a bottle and a juice. Can't have brunch without mimosas. For the price it was great, 21.00 I believe. Meal, they had a board right when you walked in with daily specials. We went with an order of the lobster omelette and the tri tip sandwich. Both on the special. It was between the lobster or Philly steak omelette which we were informed that lobster was a favorite among the guest. That was served with either house potatoes or hash browns and toast, biscuits. And the tri tip was with curly fries. Plus an order of onion rings to accompany the meal. Omelette was quite tasty as I wasn't quite sure with the ratio of lobster. Quite honestly, it was decent size chunks inside and a good amount of it. The hollandaise sauce added that extra touch to it. Everything was delicious. The tri tip sandwich itself was excellent. Served on a roll which was tasty and the sauce used was amazing. It just made everything work all together. Plus both the seasoned fried and onion rings were excellent. Both with a nice crunch to it. Service was excellent. Our waitress was a doll and the sweetest. Food was great and the mimosa's special was the finish touch to a nice brunch. The cafe itself was a cute addition to the neighborhood. Street parking along the front. Not sure if there's parking in the back. Overall, it was a great find and would definitely come back.

My friend wanted to go here and I was taking him to breakfast, so we did. When I lived nearby I…read morewould have picked the place next door. So this may have been my first (and last) breakfast here. My friend got the breakfast quesadilla, which was oozing with cheese--seemingly low-quality cheese, that gooey-looking kind. A little paltry for the price of $18. Why no beans on the side? I was considering the lobster omelette for a whopping $25 and the waiter raved about it and I let myself be persuaded. It was terrible! Drenched in a creepily orange supposed hollandaise (as we know, see photo, Hollandaise sauce is not meant to be orange), which looked like it was poured from a can. Thin and no lemon. Just some cheap flavoring. The waiter insisted that they had "made it this morning," so maybe they made it from a powder from a packet? I was starving so joylessly I ate nearly half of it and then subsisted on eating most of a generous serving of hash browns. Perhaps I was too timid. When the waiter did not offer any compensation, or to get me another plate of something else, I just dutifully sucked it up. Then he asked if we wanted coffee cake -- which should have been on the house, since he clearly realized I was not happy with the lousy omelette. If I'd not been with a person I was only meeting for the first time, I'd have been more plaintive, but I did not want to embarrass them -- they live in the area, and I do not. But just YUCK. When another friend joined us to sit and chat after our plates had been taken away he told us how he'd given up on this joint. I suggest something be done about the food quality and value.
