    Here's another list displaying popular and nicely priced dinners
    Robert G.

    Lunch on the cheap in Lawndale (1 of 2) Sitting on the corner of Hawthorne Blvd. and Manhattan Beach Blvd., Spires is quite a bit more Hawthorne than it is Manhattan Beach. I couldn't resist bringing that up. It's actually in Lawndale, a smaller municipality that sits there in between others with more name recognition. I swung around that intersection on a protected left turn and saw Spires almost a handful of times and my phone was "talking" to me about it. I looked up Spires and saw that they had a lot of specials. They have dinner specials. They have specials that vary by day of the week. A person is likely to find something to eat if they're not a food snob and, above all, is hungry! I went in and chose a baked chicken breast platter with rice, vegetables, a salad, and a roll. I had a soft drink, which they refilled. Since these are specials and this is a very down to earth place, the pricing makes for a good value. Even though it wasn't full, with people coming and going, I was seated quickly and also checked in on several times. Both the exterior and interior are sort of date stamped, but mostly tidy. I'm guessing the 5 star ratings, and there are quite a few of them, are because it's a good value and the staff is friendly. I think that 4 stars is the rating I'm going with - and it's a strong 4 stars - because Spires delivers on being a reliable eatery and a good value. I always chuckle when I see the name or am in Lawndale. My parents could never pronounce it quite right, and needed to put in vowels that weren't there or stress vowels that weren't meant to be pronounced. To them, it was always "Lohn - deh - leh." For that matter, adjacent Hawthorne was pronounced as "Au - tor - neh." That being said, if anyone has carte blanche to impersonate the many accents encountered in the limitless and worldly crossroads that make up SoCal, it's me ... and it's all in good fun. (That's what we all did growing up in SoCal, so if you have a problem with that, stuff it.) After having a late lunch here, I believe I skipped dinner. If you go for one of these fleshed out specials, you may be doing the same thing.

    Glad this location finally got a makeover from its old interior design that was too old and outdated. Hehe. I've been their customer during the before and the after of their diner makeover lol. Have to share today that.. Manager (and very helpful Chef) Carlos is always the best here throughout the AT LEAST 12 years that I've been happily dining here and ordering my take outs. More so dining in so I can always see how they work, courteously, diligently, and productively. :) The whole staff especially the guys are always super welcoming and super smiling. Lol. I like that. Lol. The 5 stars is always for the best nice and diligent Manager Carlos and his team staff here. The food is good too lol. Their customer service is pleasantly fast and attentive. To the Owner and management, Kind Regards Reminder: Kindly don't forget to update your phone number to the current active working one of.. (424) 675-4224 And kindly remove your old one that people keep calling in to get your old (310) number on Yelp here that is no longer working and just misleading everyone for the longest time. Because people like me need to call in to order our food for pick up. :) And we can't get through. CHANGE YOUR PHONE NUMBER PRONTO ON YOUR YELP. ¡Muchas Gracias! Thanks a lot!

    We had a late breakfast after getting my haircut. The Chicken fried steak you order it with beef iron chicken. I had ordered beef. The steak was tender and not overcooked. I wish it had more gravy. The food was good, Nirms has a better chicken fried steak. Karla was our sever and she was attentive. She came back to refill our coffees and asked us if we need ed anything. The restaurant customers appear to be all locals. Mostly seniors . Nothing wrong with that.

    Breakfast this morning was better than I expected, but still could have been better. There are a few locations all around Los Angeles and I would not classify them as a diner, more as a fast service American restaurant. The best part of the meal was the pricing because it is very fair. There is plenty of seating inside, both booth and counter and parking is very easy and free because it's attached to a shopping center. Service was pretty quick for me although it did take quite a while for me to be able to place my food order. I was immediately seated right when I entered and they brought my drinks immediately after being seated. I did have to wait about 10 minutes to place the order, but when the food came it was better than I was expecting. I ordered the Eggs Benedict and even though the hollandaise was a bit watery in my opinion the ham on the bottom was very good and the eggs were cooked perfectly. I got side of avocado and it was not the freshest avocado but I still ate it. Overall a pretty nice experience although does not really give me the restaurant kind of feel. I would recommend it if you are in the area.

    I think it's been a million years since we have dined here, so it was nice to take my mom out for a breakfast date. Lots of booths available , all private as they share high non see through glass partitions. Menu is large with a lot menu options from breakfast into dinner. Breakfast is served all day. We both went for the eggs and bacon combo with toast and English muffin. Nice presentation, eggs and potatoes weren't as warm as I'd like them to be though. But, what was really odd was the bacon. It had a smell and taste that was old or cheap. I don't know what or where this bacon came from, but it was not high quality- no fatty or nice crispy like texture that you normally see. My mom who is not a picky eater did not touch any of it! Her fave - the apple cinnamon herbal tea and the toast with strawberry jelly! Friendly service, but food is just ok. Not sure if I would come back....

    The pancakes were so tasty but the strawberries were old so my review is lower. I had to send the strawberries back & it only took $1 off which didn't make any sense because on the breakfast menu it says the waffle combo is $7.99 but it said $12 on the receipt for the waffles. My grandma liked her omelette with chicken but I do not like that I had to pay extra for spinach and mushrooms in the omelette, I wouldn't have minded if the ingredients were 50cent or $1 but they charged us $2.25 for each topping. So her omelette came up to $22. We paid $50 for these small plates. The only thing I say that was very tasty was the hot chocolate, I always ask for no whip cream. I usually add sugar to my cocoa but their cocoa is so sweet it don't need anything added. I think if they would've gave me the pancakes for free and apologized about the strawberries instead of just taking them off my pancakes would've left me with a better review but my pancakes still tasted like the old strawberries.

    Hey Hey! So I have been wanting to try Two Hommes' in Inglewood for a while now..buttt I'm in the…read moreIE and it's a 1.5 hr drive. I was able to satisfy my craving tonight. It was well worth it. Wait for a table for 1 for 30 minutes give or take, and was informed of the wait! But I do understand why! It was packed, like that but what I loved was seeing the engagement everyone was having with each other with others with the staff as the undertones of RnB music played in the background! With everything going on in the mess up country we living in right now I loved it! Now, the good and bad stuff! The good: the wait staff were attentive and quick. I sat towards the back at the bar, could have easily been forgotten about, never felt I was. They were great! The food: EXCELLENT! The lamb hummus and bread Oh my Lord, a must try the bread alone was , Then the Pildoff(not sure I spelled that right lol) I do not do spicy, it looked beautiful I could see it was packed full of flavor just too spicy for me, I'm weak. Catfish was cooked to perfection and served with black beans. I totally enjoyed my food, the atmosphere and many conversations with laughter and my lemonade. Next time I'm trying the garlic noodles. Now the bad: I honestly do not have anything bad to report...well maybe, wish I wasn't so full and tired I would have stayed and tried another dish. Can't wait to go back! Wishing you two gentleman continued success! Damn good food!

    Outstanding restaurant in all aspects! I love the service and how much the staff cares about their…read morecustomers. But the food is ABSOLUTELY SCRUMPTIOUS. I am a picky eater and every time I taste something here, I'm a forever fan. I love the seasonings, the options, and the way the food makes me feel like I'm being transported through Ghana while also tasting the comforts of down-home cooking. If you want an exquisite experience, please consider booking a special event in the private dining room. My retirement dinner was hosted there and Chef Mando and Chef JB made sure my celebration was extra special. The ambiance was second to none! I hear their music/entertainment nights are also a big hit.
