I apologize in advance for not having sufficient pictures or videos but I will give you the most honest review in exchange. For those of you who live in the SFV, you know that good breakfast spots are hard to come by and if you do know any, you've already been there a thousand times. While searching for something new, I stumbled across this spot! My boyfriend and I love old diners like these so we decided to give it a try. I won't lie to you, pulling up and seeing it was at a Galpin dealership kind of threw us off lol But OMG this place was amazing! Right off the bat, the ambiance was so nice, like stepping into a time machine and being back in the 60s. We were greeted so warmly and decided to sit at the bar to get the full experience. Upon looking at the menu, they had more than just breakfast. They had burgers, sandwiches, melts, steaks and more! GET IT AT GALPIN Now, the chefs. Just by looking at them through the pass, I knew I was about to have the greatest food I've ever tasted.. I ordered the griddle combo with french toast, my boyfriend ordered the huevos rancheros and we got a pastrami melt to share, and it was life changing. The butter just melted on the french toast paired with the warm syrup on the side... o m g I tried the orange juice and thought "that is freshly squeezed" and look up to find a machine squeezing fresh oranges, amazing. Our server Sesy was so attentive and even gave us a slice of homemade banana cream pie for my boyfriend's birthday! (all their pies are homemade btw) Can't even be mad at the prices cause I got exactly what I paid for, worth every penny! This is definitely a new favorite spot we'll be coming to a thousand more times :) 10/10 Food 10/10 Service GET IT AT GALPIN read more

Horseless Carriage Restaurant - Bagels n lox and my finished skillet - Diners Near Me - North Hills, California

I've been coming to Horseless Carriage at Galpin since the early 2000s and honestly one of the things that amazes me is that the quality really hasn't changed! I ended up purchasing a car from Galpin last year, so I've had even more opportunities to stop by Horseless Carriage over the past year, and it's still just as good as I remember. Whether I'm there for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, the food is always fresh, crisp, and full of flavor. You can tell there's a real standard for the food here, and I think it's far above what you normally expect from a restaurant connected to a dealership. Geovanni is also fantastic, especially when it comes to restaurant standards and catering. He's incredibly detailed and makes sure everything is taken care of, and his staff is always so friendly and welcoming. Everyone seems to genuinely enjoy being there, and you can tell. I also love that whenever I'm here, I see so many familiar faces. There are clearly a ton of regulars, and the restaurant is busy all the time. To me, that says a lot more than anything else could. People keep coming back because of the relationships they've built with the staff and the consistency of the experience. After coming here for more than 20 years, I can honestly say the quality is still there. You can tell the family takes a lot of pride in this restaurant, and it shows. It's one of those places where you know you're going to get a good meal every time, whether it's breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Cheers to consistency! read more

We dined here as guests of galpin Mazda. A real busy diner vibe here with a side parking lot. Chicken panini is a serious sandwich layered with avocado tomatoes with pesto sauce. Large grilled chicken breast on perfectly grilled ciabatta. The Ruben sandwich is loaded with pastrami, slaw and dressing. Fries are nicely spiced too. Outstanding service too .Great job! read more

Horseless Carriage (est 1966) is a unique, classic American diner located inside the Galpin Ford Motors. It features a nostalgic counter and booth seats. Atmosphere was relaxing both indoor and outdoor dining area. We came here to grab brunch. Service was spot on. Food was decent with modest serving. Prices were a bit expensive. Staff were great. Overall, I had a nice meal and dine-in experience. read more

Horseless Carriage Restaurant has been on my list for a while, and I'm glad I finally made the trip. Hidden inside the Galpin Ford dealership, this classic diner has a fun retro atmosphere with a long counter, comfortable booths, and a menu that has just about everything. It's easy to see why this place has been around for so many years. I ordered the carne asada skillet, and it was a hearty, satisfying breakfast. The steak was flavorful, the vegetables and potatoes were cooked well, and the eggs tied everything together nicely. The salsa added a nice kick, and the toast and coffee made it a complete meal. The portions were generous, and I left full. The customer service was top notch. Everyone I interacted with was genuinely friendly, welcoming, and attentive throughout my visit. My food arrived quickly, my coffee was kept filled, and the staff made sure everything was going well. Great service like that definitely makes the experience even better. The quality, service and unique atmosphere make it worth the visit. I'll definitely be back to try the surf and turg and the steak and eggs on my next visit. read more

Horseless Carriage Restaurant - Carne Asada Skillet Special - Diners Near Me - North Hills, California

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

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

Very Disappointed With My Experience I came to Horseless Carriage Restaurant to redeem the complimentary meal coupon I received as a thank-you gift after purchasing my car from Galpin Honda. Unfortunately, what should have been a nice experience turned into a very disappointing one. I sat waiting for quite a while and eventually had to wave down a waitress just to get assistance at the counter. The waitress, Margarita (aka Maggie), had a very unfriendly demeanor from the beginning. When I asked a simple question, her response and attitude made me feel uncomfortable and unwelcome. I even told her that I was willing to pay the difference if my meal exceeded the value of the coupon. I was not expecting anything special--just basic courtesy and good customer service. I honestly felt as though I was being treated poorly because I was using a complimentary meal coupon. If you are going to provide these coupons to customers, they should be honored with the same respect and courtesy as any paying customer. I am extremely disappointed with the way I was treated. Customer service matters, and unfortunately, this experience left a very bad impression. I would not recommend this restaurant based on my experience. Not a happy customer. I will be letting the Dealership know of my experience as well ... read more

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

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

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

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

I finally came in after hearing about this restaurant for years. Their menu is huge. We came for breakfast and at first the service was really attentive. It wasn't that busy. We sat outside and the food came out in a timely manner. I wanted a simple breakfast and it was overall good - my eggs were perfectly cooked. The potatoes really salty though so I wouldn't get them again. We waited a long time for any server to come back and had to flag down two different people to get the server to give us the check. Ample parking. read more

I always have a great experience at Horseless Carriage! The management team here is truly one of the best, and Giovanni is an amazing manager and a great leader. You can really see his attention to quality and the way he takes care of both his team and his guests. I absolutely love spicy food, and Giovanni's special spicy dishes are incredible full of flavor, perfectly spicy, and always delicious! If you visit Horseless Carriage and you're a spicy food lover like me, I highly recommend asking for Giovanni's special chef dish. You won't be disappointed! Great food, great service, and excellent management. Definitely one of my favorite places! read more

Known about this place for years, finally made it for breakfast. Excellent service, as expected, lots of carne asada in my scramble, sautéd onions to add the right amount of seasoning,then sprinkled with some cheese, exactly what I was hankering for. Glad I finally made it in, will be back for lunch. read more

The food is very good, good flavors, decent portions, good temperature. The service is a little slow, not because they're slow, it's because is a very busy restaurant and is only one waitress helping the tables, even tho, I saw another waitresses around the counter that I have no idea what they do there, and they could be a good help to serve on the tables outside or the booth inside. One waitress does all she/he can do to serve all at the same time. The ambience es very good, not too loud, not too quiet, it's perfect. read more

I dropped for the first time ever. Who knew a diner as such would be right there in the middle of a dealership block? I was seated and served quick for dinner service.

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.

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

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

This diner is part of galpin Ford, on Roscoe near the 405. We heard about this and decided to try it. The staff are very friendly and made you feel very welcome. Our server Maggie was so nice and so attentive. Sam decided on the country fried steak. Absolutely delicious, perfect hash browns, and the biscuits and gravy we're delicious. Supposedly they're known for the famous cheeseburger and fries, so that's what I ordered. I asked for it pink or medium rare, not expecting it to arrive that way. The cheeseburger comes with 8 oz of Char-Broiled beef topped by two slices of American cheese lettuce tomato and thousand Island dressing. I asked for a ranch dressing to accompany the fries. The burger was perfectly done, really surprising me. The french fries or crispy on the outside and soft in the middle, perfect. I haven't had a char-broiled burger in a while and it was just so good and tasty. This place is the epitome of a great diner. It's not far from us, and they will see lots more of us. The menu has so many wonderful, delicious looking breakfast lunch and dinner options. Moderately priced for everything up to and including a full steak dinner. Really enjoyed this meal. read more

The food is really good, but the last order for delivery thru grub hub forgot the dessert.. Not happy.

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

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

Love this retro diner in the heart of the valley. They sat us in the conference room even though we didn't have a reservation and there was another party coming. They said not to worry they'll take care of us. It was my birthday so we were feasting! Everything was delicious but the granola French toast is heavenly! They were so sweet and everyone was working their tail off especially because it does get packed. My sister told them it was my birthday so they sang to me and brought me a cheesecake which is my favorite especially in the morning lol loved it so much I brought my boyfriend and we enjoyed our time here. Can't wait to come back for the French toast again. 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

Horseless Carriage Restaurant - Salmon Caprese salad. - Diners Near Me - North Hills, California

I'm not much of a gatekeeper, but part of me wants to be one with this place. Hiding in plain-view on Roscoe in front of the Galpin Ford dealership is arguably the best breakfast food in town. And while I drool at the thought of an omelette or pancakes there, I seem to always end up with the salmon salad, which is absolutely spectacularly cooked every time. Service is always friendly, they do serve beer and wine, which was a surprise and watching their $7000 juicer in action should be a televised event. It's a 15 minute drive from our house and we always find ways to get over there and enjoy it all. An absolute no-brainer if you're in the North Valley. read more
