    Red carpet entrance

    I love how convenient and easy it is to get to this diner. There are lots of charging stations, but you might have to wait for a parking spot if it's busy. When you do find a parking spot, head into the diner to order your food or drinks on the kiosk. They are a little overpriced, but you get good quality and quantity. The diner is themed nicely and pretty clean, despite being very busy on a Sunday afternoon. We only ordered beverages on our visit, but will return someday to try the food options.

    Super awesome experience! Park, charge your car, and grab some amazing grub! Tried the chicken sandwich, the giga burger, and fries; all the food was super fresh and delicious! Well-operated, friendly staff, and very clean. Will be stopping by on my next trip through town!

    The Tesla Diner is definitely a unique charging location, and one that I would recommend you check out if you own a Tesla and are in the area. Unfortunately I don't think it hasn't turned out quite as expected, but it's still a neat charging location worth checking out. Oh yeah, you can also order (expensive) food!

    A gold star Tesla oasis in Hollywood that further justifies why I live being in the Tesla ecosystem. A great spot to supercharge, go to the restroom, get a bite to eat and relax in a futuristic setting. See my photos to see what I mean by futurisitic. The red carpet at the Diner entrance definitely says Hollywood baby! Staff is super friendly each time I've visited. A winning hack for me is taking a walk around Hollywood while my Tesla supercharges! Anyone with an EV can supercharge here with EVs only allowed in the parking lot. A definite 5 star experience for me everytime Yelpers!

    I am a Tesla owner and go to LA quite frequently from San Diego for acting gigs. One day when I was in Los Angeles I randomly passed by the Tesla diner not even knowing such a thing existed. I had to check it out. I also went back a couple weekends ago and had to show my husband when we were in LA. You will never find more chargers in one spot and at night there are huge screens playing drive-in movies. You can also go inside to grab a bite as well as go on the second level to get a Birdseye view. Inside looks like space Mountain had a baby with a diner. I really didn't care for the food to be honest. We got burgers. But what do you expect? It's more for the cool atmosphere. You can also order from the screen in your Tesla. Bonus tip. There's free popcorn on the second level. Such a great place to charge up in LA.

    Definitely a futuristic take on a cafe, I was immediately reminded of old movie scenes and how the 'future' was seen. My party was notified that we have a time limit on dining so we ate within 30 minutes while our Tesla was being charged. Service was great, the people were kind. There was water on the stairs which was a little dangerous. The view from the second floor was cool but is very sunny as there's not much shading. There are two large screens where you can hear what's playing on the 2nd floor as well. It's cool to visit for the one time as it was very pricey.

    Fun experience while you charge your Tesla. Despite being in the heart of Hollywood, it was packed! There was a wait to find an open charging spot. The diner is cool inside, food is a bit pricey, a regular smash burger is $15 after tax and does not include fries. The upper level has 2 big screens where you can watch a movie while enjoying your food or have some of their free popcorn. Staff is friendly. There is also an option to order from your car and they bring the food to you. Restrooms are clean but only 3 or 4 so there was a wait.

    1st time coming to the Tesla diner. Wow! What an innovative charging station this is. It's not only a diner it's drive in movie theater ! They have 2 giant screens and luckily for me they were playing one of my all time favorites and classic. "the goodies" . You can grab a bite from the kitchen or enjoy complimentary popcorn on the second floor and watch a movie while your car charges. Or simply relax in the lounge area. Everything here is top notched service. Super cool joint. I'm surprised there wasn't Tesla robots working the kitchen! If you have a Tesla and haven't experienced charging your car here chances are you're definitely gonna be bored. Thank me later.

    I liked the Tesla Diner a lot more than I thought I would! I came on the one year anniversary and they had roller skating gals delivering orders to your car. I came back a week later and it was just a guy dressed in black walking the order to my car. Classic movies playing on the two drive-in theater type screens. I was never able to get my Tesla car to play the movie and sound inside though. Neat interior with Tesla displays and Optimus Prime on exhibit. Free popcorn upstairs and good viewing deck for the movie. It was a few minutes wait to get into the parking lot the first time, and they had lots of staff directing traffic and kicking out people who were sleeping in cars.

    Stopped by here during CicLAvia to get some lunch. Service was pleasant. The food was pretty good. The best part about the diner is the huge screen outside. It was playing World Cup so a lot of people were gathering here. The only thing I'd pick on is the entrance. The entrance is very small with 3 kiosks. that you put your own order in. People would have to line up outside. The design and display of Tesla products are cool. I'd come back here.

    This place was pretty unique. Went here twice while we are visiting Los Angeles. The burger, fries and tuna melt was pretty good. The experience is priceless. We went both times during the day. Next time we are going to visit this place at night. Tesla has a big screen movie that i think it would be pretty neat to eat dinner and watch movie at the same time from yiur car. You can order from your car or cybertruck even miles away. One you put in the Tesla diner as the location, then you can start ordering already. They have robot display models. They had so much customers but the servers and staff are pretty quick to sereve you. They have a second story. Second story sells merchandise.

    When in LA... Immaculately kept inside and out. Decor was futuristic. I ordered from my car and my shake was ready after I plugged my car in and walked inside. I paid $10.50 for a small chocolate shake (10 oz?) and $9.32 to charge 17.59 kWh @ $0.53. There is free popcorn available on the 2nd floor. There are 2 large screens to view whatever is playing. There are plenty of charging spaces.

    Ki R.

    Very clean! Very futuristic and a great place to stop by for a rest and to eat. I can't speak for the service or to the food, because I didn't eat today. However, the food looks great and the employees look happy to see you with smiles. The charging station , Main just outside the diner is very crowded. But the huge overflow carports has available spots. Also, this is one of few, that still have super fast charging (v4) at over 350kw/hour. Next time I come will order food from the car or inside. Enjoy!

    What time does the movie start?

    It was already playing when we got there about 5:30pm. I think that was very close to the beginning.

    Trying to avoid that long line, is it packed around 10am on a Tuesday? EDIT: sorry I should have mentioned the diner not for parking. Currently I don't have a Tesla and I want to take my little one inside to eat and see the futuristic diner.

    No, easy parking if driving a Tesla

    Whats better burger with bun or without?

    Get one of each 😉

    Can you visiting the diner if you don't own an electric car?

    Absolutely.

    Are non-Tesla cars with the Tesla membership allowed to charge here? (Mustang MachE specifically)

    Yes, I own a Mach-E and we stopped here to charge and grab a bite to eat.

    Do they have vegan options?

    no 0 vegan options

    I have never eaten at Mel's Diner although to be honest, I love a diner!!!…read moreWalking inside the door, I was pleasantly surprised at how cool it is inside. A great vibe! Wonderful and comfortable seating and a terrific waitstaff whose name escapes me but he is a Canadian Actor from Toronto who is just a delight! Great energy and super personable! Only his second day, but the service was outstanding! A great cheeseburger with a fries/onion rings combo and an Arnold Palmer hit the spot. I appreciate a good burger and this was terrific. Onion rings were great! Skinny fries are not my favorite kind but I still ate a few and they were delicious! My friend had a delicious breakfast burrito ... what was really great besides the service and the atmosphere was our talking for 1 and a 1/2 hours only pausing to take a quick bite or two ... Why the 4 vs 5 stars? The parking lot charges a lot of money. $13.50 is a bit steep, don't you think? Unfortunately, there's not a lot of street parking because I looked and that's when I just pulled into the parking lot and stupidly did not read the sign. The guy told me that with validation, it would not be super expensive!!! Well, it was ... So the place is great. The parking is ridiculously expensive but at the end of the day, it was a great experience.

However, the food was kind of on the bland side. Maybe that is related to the older demographic they seem to primarily serve. Nothing was bad, but also not really of note. The inside was clean and bright- all about that Hollywood retro vibe. The weirdest thing we encountered was the parking situation. There was a lot, but the parking attendant seemed to be having a bad morning. He was actively annoyed we did not have cash. Again, considering a lot of food in that area are just chains- it was good. Just maybe not the best breakfast in LA.

    We go to Canter's a lot. We eat there and have pick up. I have not reviewed them in about 2 years…read moreso I thought is was about time that I reminded you how wonderful Canter's Deli is. First, the place is old and shows some wear. I find that charming and would rather they not change a thing. The place is large and can hold a lot of people. It also has a counter and behind a door is a bar area that sometimes has music. The place is always spotless and comfortable. You will never feel rushed. They have the best bakery which includes fresh bread, cakes, cookies and pastries. All of their food is great. We love the melts and anything with corned beef or pastrami on it. They make the best sandwiches and their soup is also great. They also have breakfast items and all are cooker perfectly. This is one of the best Jewish deli's in town.

    Having just celebrated its 80th anniversary, Canter's remains a fixture of the Fairfax district,…read morethough the light coming from this fixture is starting to flicker and fizzle big time. The large neon signs out front may appear properly retro at night, but look unpleasantly in need of repair in the daylight. The same is true of the restaurant's interior, with dim lighting, dull orange booths, and long-unpolished chrome giving the place a somewhat depressing aura. That visual is unfortunately paired with a sour, mildewed smell, as if the entire place had been wiped down with mops and rags that should have been thrown out months ago. Despite all this, I decided to stay and have the meal I'd planned, as I hadn't been here in a long time. There wasn't much business at 11am on a Thursday, so I slid right into a seat at the counter (the only person at the counter) and was deftly handled by a waiter named Jeff, who was pleasant and attentive, making sure I had everything I needed, and checking in on me several times during my meal. He's a good egg, and I hope he got a good deal more business before the end of his shift. Where Canter's gets some extra points is with their prices, which are currently several dollars below what you'll pay at the other legacy delis in town. The portions are a tad smaller, but are in no way skimpy; that said, my sandwich, soda and tax wound up being about the price you'll pay for just a sandwich at other places, so you're getting a decent bang for your buck. I ordered the Bronx Special, which is a combo sandwich of Pastrami and Chopped Liver. Canter's is the only place I know of in L.A. that serves this sandwich open faced, which allows you to more easily combine the two main items to your liking. The pastrami could have been hotter and a little juicier, but had good flavor without being too salty, so I found the compromise to be worth it. The Chopped Liver had a fresh and mild flavor, and had just the right consistency: a balance between creaminess and a rustic chop, reminding you at all times that you're eating Jewish style chopped liver, not paté. Cole slaw served on the side was fresh and cool, with a nice balance of bitter cabbage and sweet carrot. I personally would prefer that it be a bit creamier, but I know my wife, who intensely dislikes mayo, would really love this version. Pickles were of the half-sour variety, which I really enjoy -- and these had a nice pop of garlic and spice, so they made their presence known. In the end, a meal at Canter's is a mixed bag these days. The deli food may not be the very best in town, but is still quite decent, and the affordable prices are much appreciated. However, the dim lighting and physical decline of the venue combine to create the atmosphere of a dive, and that most definitely subtracts from the overall enjoyment of eating there.
