    Breakfast burrito and home fries
    Rebecca T.

    Eat at Rudy's is an old-school, no-frills diner that serves breakfast and lunch. The food is simple, but tasty, as I enjoyed my breakfast burrito and home fries. Service was super nice, too, even when I just went in to pick up my order. Unfortunately, as yummy as the food was, my spouse and mother-in-law got horribly sick from the patty melt and tuna melt. It's a shame that it happened, as we wanted to like the establishment. Sadly, that put us off from coming back.

    Acapulco omelette special

    Tons of specials plus regular menu. Feels like going to an aunty & uncles house for a home cook meal. Super fast service. Delicious green sauce. Homemade. Super super friendly Love Ms Jean!!

    Chicken fried steak like grandma used to make
    Irene K.

    Comfort foods at its finest. Chicken fried steak for the win. Just the way grandma used to make it & seasoned well. Gravy is flavorful & has a great consistency & REAL mashed potatoes & steamed veggies. Happy tummy. Indoor & outdoor seating for breakfast & lunch. Walking distance from American Tire if you're having work done.

    Pancake sandwich
    Ashley H.

    Eat at Rudy's is a cute breakfast nook in Old Town Torrance. I'm not sure how busy it gets during the weekends, but I was fortunate enough to try Eat at Rudy's on a weekday. I just had a brunch here and it's one of those hidden gems that makes you remember that the food in SoCal is the best. I got their pancake sandwich (2 hot cakes, 2 sausages and 2 eggs) and my +1 had their international omelette special with hash. For something so simple, it was amazingly delicious! Portions are large and we needed to ask for a togo box. Hospitality is great here too. For our visit, there was one cook at the open kitchen and two very friendly servers at the restaurant. It was only us and 2-3 other group/couples at Rudy's. Food came out quick and hot. Server checked up on us and refilled my coffee whenever I ran low. Eat at Rudy's is on my highly recommend list for Torrance.

    French Toast

    We walked to downtown Torrance to shop at the Antique Fair but had to stop at Rudy's for breakfast. After a short wait we were seated and they were very busy. The guy who seated us also fills the drink orders and buses the tables. He was so accommodating and filling everyone's drinks. I ordered the senior special C which is a slice of French toast,an egg and bacon. All for 9.99....what a deal! Hubby had the regular French toast and multiple cups of coffee.This place is a gem. Great diner homemade food with generous portions. Service is great too.

    Got the mushroom cheese omelette with bacon. Really good. It comes with a large slab of tasty hash browns. The coffee was hot and a nice medium roast. Service was very friendly. Seating is available inside the restaurant and also there are tables outside along the sidewalk.

    Corned Beef Hash
    Russ L.

    My go to spot for breakfast/brunch for their house made Corned Beef Hash. I like it extra well done for some crispy comfort. The slab of goodness was over a 1/2" thick. Very homey vibe. The staff are wonderful.

    Tuna Melt Supreme (with a bite)
    Kellen P.

    Forgot my lunch this morning on the kitchen counter, so decided to check out a local Torrance banger. I'm not your typical tuna melt gal but the Eat at Rudy's Tuna Melt Supreme sounded too good to pass up. Tuna salad mixed with bacon, avocado, mayo, pepper, and celery slapped between two lightly buttered and toasted slices of white bread and melted cheese hit the spot. The ambience is super casual, and there's outdoor seating (I got my order to go so strictly observations here). The staff were also very friendly. I like my bread toasted a little more but nonetheless, it was a solid sandwich.

    Rambo Breakfast
    Derrick C.

    My 2nd visit to Eat at Rudy's and again they didn't disappoint. I ordered my food to go like this and last time because I was eating alone. I got the Rambo breakfast under the "hot off the griddle" section of the menu. It's basically a French toast breakfast with eggs and your choice of protein, I got bacon. The food was great, no complaints. The service, even better. The nice lady say who took my order is super kind and sweet, she call you "honey" to death and it's endearing lol For those who have not yet tried Eat at Rudy's I highly recommend.

    "Breakfast Burrito" with Mozzarella Cheese

    The service here was spectacular! This restaurant has shaded outdoor seating, perfect for Saturday breakfast with the family. I ordered the breakfast burrito and Wow! The portions are truly generous and even if they weren't the flavor is incredibly yummy! I ordered a chocolate milk as well and the mixture was delectable. This is a Wayne Classic! Would come again - Wayne W.

    The Big One With Potato Salad
    Junior N.

    We all really enjoyed our meal, we're excited to come back soon and try more dishes. The laid back neighborhood atmosphere was very comfortable. The customer service was great, everyone was friendly and checking if we needed anything. This will be a regular spot for us, so many delicious looking dishes to try. The street parking is good and a back lot parking.

They have seating on the patio and inside with both tables and booths or at the bar. The decor is fun with bright vibrant colors and picturesque walls. Food was decent, though basic and (see picture of Truffle Fries, they should have spent a few more seconds in the fryer to get at least a little golden and have some crispiness rather than blanched and lackluster). The Machaca Scramble was the most flavorful and best tasting dish we had at our table as the corned beef hash and eggs were standard (not bad but nothing to Yelp rave about). By far the best part was the Bottomless Mimosas which are offered everyday, not just on the weekends! Big bonus! Our server was attentive and had a happy disposition. I felt Serendipity has so much great potential, between the decor, service and bottomless mimosas I'd imagine they would have more birthdays or group celebrations going on, especially for such a large space. But the vibe was a bit off with the low playing Spanish music, I would imagine if they had more pop music or upbeat music to fit the vibe of the place they'd have more of a fun vibe. Not that there is anything wrong with Spanish music, it just wasn't jiving with the vibe of the place and was so low and not so up beat (romantic Spanish ballads were playing). The laminated menus also gave an old diner vibe instead of trendy "serendipity" vibe. I'll still come back to see if they can match the vibe to the decor and try a few other menu items, but I do hope they up the ambiance. And get that extra star status!

The restaurant has inside seating for 40 guests and outside for 30. We arrived between breakfast and lunchtime and were able to get the last outside table. The attentive staff got us seated right away, and after browsing through their menu, we ordered the following items (arrived in 15 minutes) : Marine: The buckwheat outer layer was soft, not soggy, and with nice resistance. The light creamy tomato-based dressing with sliced mushrooms was pleasantly flavorful. Both shrimp and scallops were of good size, fresh and juicy. Fromage: Like Marine Crepe, the buckwheat out layer was soft. The mild brie cheese provided pleasant creaminess to the filling. Seasoned bacon, scrambled egg, onion, and mushroom added nice savoriness to the dish. The portions were sensible and the prices were reasonable. Very nice culinary experience.

Grateful my friend has a daughter who lives in town and suggested it; otherwise, I never would have noticed it. Even though it was a Sunday morning, we immediately found seats inside. Of course it was a cheery yellow interior with lots of floral accents, hence "Yellow Vase." After perusing the extensive menu at our table, we realized we had to order and pay at the counter, where they were doing a bustling business with tempting pastries and fresh java. They gave us a number to place on our table to let them know where to deliver our food. My old pal from high school (Yes, we've known each other for DECADES!), always leans towards lox for breakfast. It was no surprise that she ordered the Smoked Salmon Plate ($16.95). The salmon arrived on a fresh French baguette with capers, red onion, tomatoes and cream cheese. I like variety, so the 2 by 2 ($16.95) was right up my alley. The two pieces of French toast were homemade perfection. So were the two scrambled eggs, the two chicken sausages and the rosemary potatoes. What an ample, delicious brunch. We were too busy catching up to photograph our meal, though. Sorry, 'cause it was pretty! Just wish the water cups were larger as we had to make several trips to the H20 station for refills. Follow the yellow brick road - I mean Catalina Avenue - and go!

It would have been ok but there was some cherry foam on top that I don't think was listed on the menu. I dislike cherry flavored stuff it tastes like cough syrup to me. So if I'd known I would have ordered something else or ordered it without the cherry. I would definitely come back again. I especially recommend the lunch specials they are a good price. The service was great! After lunch we walk down to the beach to enjoy the beautiful views!
