Enjoyed our first time dining at Horseless Carriage Restaurant on Roscoe Blvd on a Friday afternoon. Great recommendation by my beloved brother. This eatery provided excellent customer service, thanks to Margarita. Horseless Carriage Restaurant was busy and plenty of people dining. As soon as we walked in Margarita welcomed us and walked us to our booth. She made some suggestions and informed us of their famous plates on the menu. We decided to try our her recommendations. We ordered Carne Asada Skillet Special, Sunny Side Special Burger with Fries and 2 orders of Fish & Chips. Food was yummy. The Carne Asada Skillet Special was served on a sizzling plate. It's was more than enough for one person. The Sunny Side Burger with Fries is huge and plentiful. Patty was tender and not overcooked nor undercooked. It was the right temperature. Fish N' Chips was also on point. We can't wait to come back and try other food items on Horseless Carriage Restaurant's menu. read more

I've been coming to the Horseless Carriage Restaurant with my family for brunch for quite some time now, and it's consistently one of our go-to spots. One of the best things about this place is how quickly we're seated - almost every visit, we're able to get a table right away. The food is always delicious, and the waffles are definitely a standout - crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and just overall satisfying. Another favorite of mine Country Fried Steak. The gravy sauce is tasty and the steak itself is very good. Coupled with hash browns and 2 eggs - it's a great dish. Service is another highlight here. The staff is friendly and attentive, coffee and water refills are constant, and the food comes out quickly without feeling rushed. Parking right next to the restaurant can be a bit limited, but there's usually plenty of street parking nearby, so it's manageable. One unique thing I really enjoy is that it's connected to Galpin Ford. It's actually pretty fun to walk through the showroom and check out the cars while waiting for a table or even after finishing your meal. Overall, it's a reliable and enjoyable brunch spot with great food, solid service, and a unique atmosphere. Definitely a place we'll keep coming back to. read more

I look forward to coming to the Horseless Carriage restaurant when I get my annual service at Galpin. It's a tradition coffee shop/ restaurant atmosphere. Food is always delicious with great service. The restaurant is very clean and has lots of plush booths, patio seating, and a long countertop. I prefer the countertop. I hope the'd install purse hooks under the counter. read more

This place has been one of my favorites since I was a kid, I just wish it had more parking. The food is top notch, the pork belly Benedict is one of my favorites, followed by a the beagle and salmon. We have made it a couple of times for dinner, also awesome! The fresh squeezed orange juice and in house made pies are so delicious. The service is always great and attentive, the decor makes you feel like you're on a movie set. Never disappointed, ok maybe when they are out of cherry pie! Always fresh coffee. read more

Horseless Carriage Restaurant - Pork belly Benedict - Diners Near Me - North Hills, California

The staff here is always warm and friendly, and the service continues to be outstanding. The servers checked in regularly, made sure everything was okay, and kept our coffee and water topped off, which I always appreciate. The restaurant has a fun retro diner vibe, and everything feels immaculately clean and well maintained. I ordered the Pork Belly Eggs Benedict, and my partner got the Chicken and Waffles. He really enjoyed his dish. Mine was a little more mixed. The benedict wasn't bad, but the pork belly was very chewy and the hollandaise could have used more acidity to balance it out. On the plus side, the hash browns were perfect. Even with that, I'd definitely go back. read more

Another delicious meal! Stopped in for Valentines dinner and was not disappointed. Steak and lobster was exactly what I wanted. I had asked for the rice pilaf side, but they didn't have it. Wait staff should have been made aware, but it seemed a surprise to her as well. Mashed potatoes were good, but I was expecting the pilaf, which I don't make at home. But the lobster and steak were so good, the potatoes were an afterthought. Hubs enjoyed his spaghetti with garlic toast and we were happy. Cheers! "CC" read more

This place is great. I love coming here and has a unique plates in history. The service is really good, but the menu is very very very large so there are so many great things to try, but I had to have the meat lovers omelette now it's called the meat lovers Sriracha, but I wasn't in the mood for that. I just did it with ketchup and I had to have cottage cheese on the side with some good coffee. I was not disappointed. I had my order in less than 10 minutes and I was ready to enjoy it. The seating is incredible and the music is great. This place is super fun to visit but make sure you get here early because Parking is a challenge. read more

The Horsless Carriage has been on my girlfriends hit list for a few years and we are rarely in the valley but today we felt like a nice drive to come here and get our Wanderluster diner fix. This place also came up on a ChatGPT query for the best diners in LA so we decided to make the drive to see what all they hype is about. If you don't know this diner is what it is, you might miss it being connected to the Galpin dealership. We also really love the vibe of old skool diners and this one definitely hit that mark right down to the thick padded, vinyl stools at the counter and 70s/ 80s music playing. This is officially a diner but their menu takes it to the next level. Most menu items range from $20-$30 with a few outliers ($40 NY strip, $48 prime rib, $69 lobster tail) Another side note: They make fresh squeezed orange juice incase you are here for breakfast (or any other time) Elizabeth our waitress was great! She said the owner of Galpin eats here every day, knows the menu like back of his hand & usually gets the daily specials. He also gets the buffalo chili & chicken fajitas. (side note: The buffalo they use here comes from his ranch down in San Diego) The food here is good and the reason for giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is the price. I got the Reuben ($21) and I don't mind mind paying $21 dollars for a Reuben sandwich & fries but I better get a LOT of food and it has to be one of the best Reuben s I've ever had. The portion size was a little small for me at that price point and the Reuben was good, not great. The seasoned fries were good and there was an okay amount. My girlfriend got the Belgian waffle combo ($16) which was 2 smaller waffles with 2 eggs and bacon or sausage. Her meal also was good, not great and she did leave a bit hungry. Again it is very important to me to get enough food with what you order. She also got a gingerbread latte ($6) and it was really good. (Their coffee that they serve is standard coffee and is not that great- but the self-serve coffee station they have for the dealership customers & salesmen is great though) They also make all their own desserts here, in-house and our waitress said that the banana cream pie is the most popular. We were in a chocolate kinda mood tho so we got the German chocolate cake ($12) and it was pretty good. I'd probably try the carrot cake or something else next time. We will definitely be back but we'll need some time to decide what to get next. Our waitress says the burgers are really good so maybe those... read more

Went to the used ford dealership across the street and staff suggested the diner. From the look of it, it felt outdated in decor but staff was friendly and attentive. We were sat quickly in a booth and (I felt) waiting to order wasn't TOO long...(my husband & I were hungry...and when you're hungry...waiting feels like forever). I ordered the lobster tail & my husband ordered the prime rib. For a diner, ordering seafood...isn't a go for but the lobster tail was REALLY tasty (butter? Can't go wrong). My husbands prime rib was cooked to his liking and seasoned well. Would suggest the place, even if you're not going to the dealership! read more

Been around the area for years but this is our first time trying out Horseless Carriage. Its a diner in the middle of all the car dealerships. They have also have an outdoor patio with tables and umbrellas. The parking lot is small but you can park on the street. It has a very locals feel to it. Everyone seems to know each other and I could even feel that home town vibe. So don't be shy to flag someone down if you need something lol. I did that for my check cause they were so busy. Todays special was the fish and chips so I had to try it. The fish they used is cod. It comes with cole slaw, actual potato chips and shredded lettuce. I recommend it! Flaky and easy to eat lol. Our server Margarita was friendly and awesome. read more

2/06/2026: Came to Galpin to have a vehicle serviced, and our nice service advisor gave us comps for Horseless Carriage while we wait! Their portions are generous and it's early for lunch, so we opted to share the Angus Club House Burger with fries and a slice of Carrot Cake. The burger is tasty.. the bacon is cooked perfectly and is nice and smoky. The seasoned fries are nice and crisp.. perfection! The carrot cake is so moist! Pineapple.. I don't detect coconut but that's ok. Could use more cinnamon and nutmeg but I'm not mad. It's still delicious! Our server was so sweet and personable... and her level of tolerance for the dude at the next table who is basically sexually harassing her is above and beyond! I'd have smacked him already and she's maintaining her composure. read more

Service was amazing. They're attentive and kind. Service dog friendly. The menu is big and they're patient, plenty of time to look it over. Cesar salad was crisp with a great dressing. Portion is small for the price; slightly larger than a small side salad for $16. Patty melt was cooked well. Slightly dry as was the tuna melt. Both sandwiches and fries were under seasoned. Great place if you're watching your sodium levels. Quaint interior and it's fun to eat at a car dealership. Worth checking out at least once. read more

4.5 stars It has become tradition to attend Galpin's Annual Car Show with friends. This year we decided to have breakfast at Horseless Carriage first, which was great because I've been wanting to check this place out. Incorporating a restaurant into a dealership is a brilliant idea and Galpin is the first to do so. (It's great to have a place to take a break during lengthy negotiations or grab a bite while your car is being serviced.) This establishment has the looks and feel of a classic diner but servers up quality restaurant food. A lot of thought was put into the interior design, and there's even a charming little patio area where you can ponder your next purchase. It was unusually busy due to the event, so there was a short wait. We were a group of seven and Executive Chef Geovanni Euceda personally came over to us and mentioned that we could be seated right away if we didn't mind dining in the conference room. Talk about VIP service. The conference room was very nice, and it felt like we were having a family meal at home. Our server Elizabeth was very friendly. In fact, everyone on staff that day were all genuinely nice. They were serving a limited menu for the event. Our order consisted of Huevos Rancheros, Steak & Eggs, H.C. Cheeseburger, & Caesar Salad. I really enjoyed my Caesar Salad and the house made dressing was exceptionally good. The seasoned fries that came with the burger were addicting. The portions were generous and everyone was satisfied. There were some minor mishaps due to them being unusually busy but the ambience, food, & service made up for it all. I'd come back. *Small parking lot or street parking. *Live music every other Friday 6:30 - 8:30 pm read more

Whenever I'm in town to visit Galpin, as I'm a vendor of theirs, I look forward to grabbing lunch at the Horseless Carriage. My customer mentioned to me "our restaurant is really very good" and I admit I was slightly suspicious; how good could a car dealership restaurant be? The answer is, really, VERY good. Despite giving the feel of a retro diner, Horseless Carriage has a full range of bites from an all day breakfast menu to soups/salad/sandwiches lunch fare to high quality dining you can bring a date to for dinner. Everything about this place is great. The ambiance, the workers, and especially the food. Some of the best fries I've had in LA. My favorite item on the menu is the cajun pasta. Way too filling for lunch, it definitely fed me for a few days. My colleages who joined me on my last visit said great things about the club sandwich, and a Galpin employee said anything with steak was the best. Do not write this place off just because it's surrounded by cars. It's truly worth a stop! read more

Excellent service! Food great!!! I have to continue coming back jus to try all the specials!!! I forgot this restaurant was here? I bought my Mom a car at Galpin Ford, and I believe the sales person offered me lunch! I didn't realize their still here! Twenty five years ago! Well worth it read more

We came here after watching the LA dining scam influencer on Instagram (you know the one). This place was a verified Slam, so we had some time on our hands one day and said, "let's go!" We ordered a Cajun shrimp omelet, waffles, pancakes and the pork belly eggs Benedict. Everything was gigantic and filling. I loved the crispy take on the Belgian waffle. Just very homey, solid comfort diner food. Service was quick and my coffee cup was regularly refilled. It's pretty strong and not watered down. I would go back to try their dinner offerings. They also have a happy hour menu and loads of pies we didn't get to try. Pace yourself, and enjoy. read more

What a cool diner styled restaurant. Located in between dealerships and attached to the Ford dealer. The food was pretty good. Presentation was great and portions were generous. No complaints at all. The standout was our waitress. She was so friendly and helpful with everything and even gave us recommendations on what she usually would get. It was a little confusing at check in as you seat yourself anywhere but there are no signs indicating that. Other than that, a must try if youre waiting for your car or just driving by. read more

Meh. This is about the most nothing place a diner could be. The food is adequate, nicely prepared, and almost surprisingly uninteresting. I suppose it's a nice place to pass the time while getting your car serviced. It's often noted in books and articles on mid-century diners. It has very little in common with them. It's clean and inoffensive. read more

Was down in the Los Angeles area today with my family. Decided we wanted to get some breakfast and stopped at this place after reading the Yelp reviews. Happen to be Cinco de Mayo and the restaurant had a display of beautiful Mexican food that they were serving specifically for this day. The staff was dressed in bright and beautiful Mexican attire and were so friendly. Our server along with the other staff were so friendly and inviting. Our food came out in a timely manner and was absolutely delicious. I purposely stayed away from the corporate breakfast places and wanted a local Ma and Pa place and it paid off!! The business was clean and I would recommend this place to anyone. read more

Welcome to one of The Valley's finest, The Horseless Carriage Restaurant. A charmingly time stamped retro diner with exquisite food operating out of a Galpin Ford Motors dealership since 1966. I'm serious, this meal was one of the best diner meals I've ever had in my fast and furious life. Their famous Buffalo Chili is a local favorite and for good reason. So much meatier than beef yet lower in fat content and the flavor of Buffalo gives the chili spices some sweetness. The shrimp and lobster linguine was classic Italian restaurant quality. On to their satisfying grilled burger that could rival a steak house burger any day. read more

I had not been here for breakfast in a while and I must say the steak and eggs were delicious! The restaurant was clean and service was also very good. The only thing they that I'm not content with is their coffee. It's not the best. It not so much that it's strong but it is very bitter. But that won't keep me from eating at this establishment. It a great place to eat. read more

This spot is a hidden gem in the valley!! I went here for brunch with my parents and was absolutely blown away. Great diner with high-quality food and reasonable prices. The atmosphere is authentic and the decor is fun. The service can be spotty (I had to ask for ketchup 3 times and it never showed), but everyone working there seems happy and they keep the place spotless. I'm interested in trying their dinner specials - they serve authentic and inexpensive 1950s-type meals. read more

Spicy chicken sandwich was super salty and acidic (sour). 5/5 stars for lobster tail entree. Takeaway was 2 slices of very dry (unfresh) German chocolate cake (very disappointing). It's so easy to provide moist, freshly baked cake. And when you don't, it's burned into the customer's memory forever. Next time I'll ask... I only want cake made the day before. Not older. The cake is not a butter cake. read more

Parking can be a little tricky since the lot is on the smaller side, but luckily I was able to find a spot. I ordered the tuna melt with fries, and both were tasty and hit the spot.

I especially love how they warmed the syrup. We also ordered the Carne Asada skillet and the meat was nice and tender. The only thing I didn't like was their " fresh" fresh OJ which tasted like it was diluted otherwise good portion for the reasonable price. Would definitely come back. read more

I have lived so close to this place all my life and I'm upset I barely went in today to try it out. The appetizer combo was really great, the shrimp tempura and onion rings in that were the best part of it.

The replacement was spectacular, would come back any time. read more

The Horseless Carriage isn't just a diner--it's a living piece of Los Angeles car culture, a place where breakfast sizzles alongside the scent of new tires. Built right into the beating heart of Galpin Ford, it's the kind of spot where you can sip your coffee and glance up to see a row of Mustangs gleaming under showroom lights just a few steps away. I went for the Black and Blue burger--a generous patty with a perfect char, smoky at the edges, the tangy blue cheese melting deep into the beef like they'd been lifelong companions. Every bite had balance: crisp lettuce for crunch, grilled onions for sweetness, and a bun sturdy enough to hold it all together without turning into a napkin's worst nightmare. My dad ordered the steak--thick, tender, cooked exactly to temperature. It came with the kind of quiet confidence you only get from a kitchen that's been doing it right for decades. No gimmicks, no theatrics--just a perfectly seared cut of meat, seasoned like they trust the flavor to speak for itself. The service? Relaxed, friendly, and unforced. You feel like the staff knows their rhythm here--efficient without the fake perkiness that turns breakfast into a sales pitch. After lunch, we wandered into the showroom, where the 2025 Mustang GTs sat waiting. Sleek lines, bold colors, and that unmistakable stance that says American muscle without ever raising its voice. It's the kind of transition only this place can deliver--one minute you're wiping steak juice from your fingers, the next you're standing in front of the kind of car that makes you imagine road trips you haven't taken yet. Come for the food, stay for the cars. And leave knowing there's still a corner of the world where horsepower and hospitality live under the same roof. read more

I wanted to love this place... The service was terribly slow. I ordered pancakes and they were fine until I found a hair in my food. Our server asked if they could replace it, but it had taken so long already and we were running late so I just asked if they could offer a discount. I was expecting them to comp it or at least offer half off, and instead, they only gave me 20% off. I had a party of 8, and they automatically charged 20% service on everyone's bill without telling us in advance. Additionally, our server ran and followed us to our car saying that one of our checks was unpaid, and we had to show the credit card charges of one of the other individuals in my party to prove that we all indeed paid for our checks. Awful service and would not recommend. read more

First time here but not my last. I've lived in the Valley my entire life and never considered eating on a car lot. I've been missing out. My staple breakfast is always corned beef hash. I was very pleased that it was cooked to perfection and it comes with poached eggs! My favorite. I never asked for poached because cooks usually mess them up. Our waitress Maggie was fantastic. Sat us in a back room because we were celebrating a birthday. She even brought the birthday girl a free piece of cheesecake. Diner is fairly small. Or it seemed small because it was packed. Got there at 9am and pretty much every booth was taken. Parking was a little troublesome. I guess there's parking on the other side of the restaurant or across the street. I wasn't sure because it is a car dealership. read more

This review is long overdue. We came here in August when purchasing our vehicles. Right away I was charmed by the quaint decor of this diner-style restaurant. The menu was also very impressive. We had some things off the happy hour menu and the lunch menu. Hands down, the best carne asada fries I've ever had!!! We've come back a handful of times since. The service is always amazing, the food is always fresh, and the people helping us are always friendly and fast. But, we were really impressed when we came the week before Christmas to redeem a voucher. The place was packed, people waiting in line for take-out orders, and staff was running from table to table. I was concerned that the service or food quality wouldn't be up to par. Boy was I wrong!!! Everyone greeted us, sat us down quickly, our food arrived just as quick, and all staff communicated with each other. The new menu items were a great addition to an already fantastic offering! Being a retail worker, my family time during the holidays is precious. They made my experience so pleasant, I had to communicate it to the managers, Geovanni and Anthony. It was a team effort, from the cooks in the kitchen to the bussers and servers! We will be back soon! read more

When my wife and I decided to eat a place called the Horeless Carriage Restaurant thanks to Yelp, we did not know we would be eating at a car dealership! Located in the very front of an actual car dealership, this diner style restaurant has some old school vibes with a new school menu to cure that lunch itch. We came on Easter day in the middle of the afternoon and the place was pretty busy from the booths to the front counter. The menu here has a ton of different appetizer, salads, and soups to entrees, burgers, and melts which made it tough to decide, but I ended up going with the Albacore Tuna melt with bacon on it with a side of french fries. The food didn't take too long to get served, and I enjoyed the sandwich for what it was. The albacore tuna tasted pretty good, while the toast and bacon worked well with it. The french fries on the side were also solid, although for some reason the whole meal was just kind of average to me. Overall, Horseless Carriage Restaurant is a decent place to grab lunch in the Van Nuys/North Hills area. The service was quick and efficient, the place itself looked like an old school diner, and the food was solid enough, though probably not something I would drive back to North Hills for in the future. read more
