Liver and onions come with potatoes and steamed vegetables and soup. That's a lot of sides 5/5 Our total was $55 for all the food. I will definitely come back. read more

Teddy's Cafe - An old school signage of the parking lot. - Diners Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I didn't realize that I had never posted a review of Teddy's! We don't go often, but we have been going to Teddy's on occasion when we travel to the west side to go to Santa Monica College, for years. We've gone twice in the last few weeks, and it's as good as ever. Teddy's is an old school home style cafe/diner on Bundy and Pico. It actually is a community landmark where locals congregate and hang out. The other plus is that they are Spanish-language friendly. Ambiance is cozy, friendly and homey and service is great! Menu includes standard diner fare, comfort food. We've recently had the open faced hot turkey sandwich with gravy and mashed potatoes, which was good, and we enjoyed it. The next time JJ had a bowl of split pea soup, which was excellent! He also had the tuna sandwich, which he enjoyed as well, but said it was a little on the dry side. I ended up deciding on breakfast at 5 pm in the afternoon--- combo with pancakes, eggs over easy and sausages. It was so good! I thoroughly enjoyed it. The pancakes were steaming hot and fluffy and the sausages were really plump and juicy. Excellent. Recommended, if you're in the area---give Teddy's a try. Cash only, but there is an ATM inside. Parking lot always has plenty of parking. read more

Teddy's Cafe looks like an old diner, which I can appreciate. I like diners. I always feel comfortable and welcome and this place does that as well. It's real casual. I don't know the history but I assume the owner is into model cars because they are everywhere. The decor is a bit scattered and dusty. It kind of feels like someone's living room. I was seated and the server took my order quickly. I ordered a club sandwich, and if you've read my other reviews that contain bacon, you know I like my bacon burnt. Well, I did have to send my bacon back because it wasn't even crispy, but the second time was the charm and my sandwich was really good. The French fries were okay. Not under cooked, but not crispy either. I only ate a few of them. I had to ask the person at the counter for my check and paid there because the server didn't come back. All in all, mediocre. Will I go back? I don't know. If I'm in the area I might. It's not close to me and the experience wasn't good enough for me to go out of my way. read more

Casual attire, casual dining. I absolutely loved this place! It brings you back in time to that inviting, comfortable, cozy feel. It was busy but the service is still fast (so be ready to order, etc., they dont play around! Lol) the staff are very quick and accommodating. Seems like this is a family owned business, loved everyone we interacted with. Warm & welcoming. Say "yes" to the coffee they serve when you first sit down. Brought me back the days with my grandparents and parents. It was good ole fashion coffee. Yumm. The food was delicious!! From now on, this will definitely be a regular "go to" spot when we are in the area. So happy we stumbled across this place, ended our Valentine's weekend so perfectly. Simple & Sweet. read more

Teddy's Cafe - Diners Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Teddy's cafe located on the corner of Bundy and Pico boulevard is an old fashioned diner with old fashioned prices. They have a medium/small outdoor parking lot. The ambiance is retro chic with model cars and trucks decorating the walls. I had the Reuben sandwich with coleslaw for $12.99. A cup of vegetable soup for $2.75. Food and service were both excellent. Will come back for breakfast. read more

Came here for breakfast after taking a red eye and landing super early in the morning. This was one of the few places open that early and we got a standard breakfast. Food and service were good and what you would expect from a little diner. It had an homey vibe and one thing to note is that hey only take cash. Overall not bad read more

I have been visitIng teddys for quite some time and I I'm never disappointed. It's just a neighborhood Café with good food at a good price. Everything is always yummy and it's comforting.

If you want a decent homemade tasting grilled hamburger. this is the place to go. ask for onions. Nice fluffy pancakes. I recommend Teddys for breakfast. The prices are amazing. You can take your whole family here without breaking the bank. read more

Teddy's Cafe looks ordinary from the outside. But once you go in, you are in a warm and cozy and homey dining room. Their food is made from scratch and delicious and hot out of the kitchen. My brother loves a well prepared chicken fried steak with crispy edges and eggs and pancakes. Wow. This is pure comfort food. The service is prompt and pleasant. Everything is well prepared, and their regulars are there all the time. I am anxious to try their prime rib dinner. Somehow they keep their prices down. This is a gem of a place with an extensive menu. read more

It's a 4.5 but rounded up to a 5. I've driven past this place for decades and tried it for the first time tonight. Food is excellent diner food. It was inexpensive ($12.50 for a hot turkey sandwich and $11.50 for a 3 egg country fried steak and eggs). It's cash only but they have an ATM inside. My turkey sandwich was filling and my wife took home country fried steak leftovers. The dining room was crowded for a Sunday night at 5:00. Everyone seemed to be a regular. Two waitresses served everyone. They were pleasant and efficient but I could see someone calling them a little abrupt. They were very busy so no big deal. Our waitress warmed up to us when we said it's our first time, we loved the food and plan to come back. Ambiance? It's a diner, comfortable and casual. They have a 70s motif. They have a decent sized (free) parking lot in the back. read more

Very nice breakfast. Lots of old car decor which is right up my alley. Pleasant servers. Took them a long time to get to our table, but it was a busy Sunday morning. Prices were EXTREMELY fair. We fed 7 people for well under $100!! Sorry I didn't get any pictures. But we will definitely be back when we're in So Cal! read more

Teddys is the best! From the seasoned waitstaff to the classic diner comfort food. They got it going on. I got the corned beef hash this morning and it is delicious. Comes even with a sliced piece of pineapple. Hash browns are crisp to perfection. I have to remember to order my eggs over medium tho cuz over easy is a bit too runny for my blood. My BF loves their chicken fried steak and biscuits and gravy. The prices are throwback and makes you want to come twice as much!!! I need to try everything else on the menu especially the turkey club. See ya soon Teddys! read more

My husband's surprised me with breakfast after a doctors appointment here at Teddys Cafe. The restaurant was so clean for the outdated decor. Mismatching chairs and wooden finishes give this place its charm. Our server was Angie. Very sweet and available if you need anything she was within an arms reach to get what you need. The food was so homemade reminded me of my grandmas kitchen! Fluffy pancakes, warm salsa, and crisp breakfast proteins. But bring cash as this is a cash only joint and they do have an atm, service fee around $3.50. We will definitely be back! read more

Teddy's Cafe - Three egg breakfast and pancake special - Diners Near Me - Los Angeles, California

One of the cheapest diners in Los Angeles. I can't believe it took me so long to stop in because I work only a few miles from here. As mentioned the prices are extremely reasonable, a big reason most likely is because they are cash only. They have an ATM on the inside just in case. They also have a very large free parking lot attached. Otherwise it will be street parking. They have a fairly large menu filled with all the classic diner options. They also have a lot of daily specials, which is what I chose today. Service was a bit slow and our server was not the most polite waitress that I've ever had. The food is also pretty good, although not in the great category in my opinion. It was fairly busy and lively when we were there but we only had to wait a few minutes to be seated. I started off with a cup of coffee and the two biscuits and gravy for $2.50. At that price it's impossible to beat but I was not the biggest fan of the gravy and wish the biscuits would have been fluffier. Not the best I've had this year but still worth getting. I chose one of the specials of the day, which was the Eggs Benedict. Again it was pretty good although not great. A lot of it comes down to the hollandaise sauce quality. This one was a bit too watery in my opinion. Also, the potatoes were more home style potatoes even though I requested hashbrowns. Overall a pretty good diner, and I would recommend even though I have to give it a 4/5 because of service and food quality. read more

Stopped here with a friend one morning and it was super evident that this is a neighborhood join which is cool. There were numerous locals in there and it was rad seeing all the servers knowing many faces off the get go. I had their omelette and it was good. Full warning they only do cash. There is an ATM there as well though. All in all good portions for the pricing and solid food. People were filtering in and out pretty quickly. So it's a good place if you want to snag a quick bite but also if you want to longer and have a good breakfast with the family. There is a parking lot but the spots are narrow and it gets packed pretty quickly so get ready to wait or get street parking. read more

Food was delicious and came out SO FAST! Loved the ambiance (felt like a family diner) and the staff was SO NICE!!!

Lovely staff. The service here has always been great . The food has always been amazing.

3.5 stars - highlights were biscuits & gravy, sourdough toast and bacon. Pancakes were solid though thin (I prefer fluffy). Breakfast burrito, sausage and scrambled eggs were all okay - a bit dry and bland. Very reasonably priced, but bring cash. Free parking lot. Service was spotty - they forgot a few things but nice enough. read more

Classic old school diner, kitschy interior, good service, yummy food. Cash only, plenty of parking.

Teddys is a landmark now . The food is good and I like the way they make it the way you like! The main improvement would be if they had a better quality, little bit stronger coffee. The check who needs coffee and water quite often and that means a lot. Definitely reasonable for what you get! read more

I love "mom & pop" diners, so much so I want them to survive, so we are not limited to chain diners. However, for Teddy's Cafe, I found myself wishing it wasn't so run-down and cleaner. You definitely can't go wrong with the menu prices, but the ambiance did not instill in me any confidence of quality or freshness. Because of this lack of confidence, I opted for a veggie burger. It was fine, nothing special. They skimped on the french fries, which I was surprised by. Service was friendly and fast, so no problem there. It would be great if Teddy's Cafe could do a tiny upgrade, it doesn't need much, just a big dusting and cleaning, new signage, because I can see it being very charming. read more

Teddy's Cafe - Veggie burger. - Diners Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I have been going to Teddy's for over two decades. I have had many of the items on the breakfast and dinner menu. Sometimes friends gripe about the way Teddy's looks but I don't care. The food is always fresh, tasty and large portions for the low prices they offer. The restaurant is always clean and the staff are attentive. Teddy's provides an affordable place to eat for many people in our community who cannot afford the exorbitant prices at the other restaurants on Pico. If you like Teddy's then also please visit Rae's Diner at 2901 Pico Bl., Santa Monica. They have the same owner. I posted the menu's to show that the prices have not gone up much in the past five years. Remember to bring cash. read more

Great little spot on the Westside. I've passed by this place hundreds of times and didn't even know that it was a restaurant, or that it was open. I ordered an omelette with the potatoes and toast.
