Been stopping by here since the late 1990s with my older sister when she went to UCLA, and throughout 2000-2005 when I was a student at UCLA. It's moved locations since then, but continues to be a staple of Westwood and for students, especially. They still offer a discount for UCLA students, which is nice too. My favorite menu item is their hotdog combo, and you get a choice between regular fries and curly fries (get those!). I also like how they have Cherry Coke in the soda fountains. It is a no frills diner, and the prices are affordable. The food has always been served fresh and hot. The staff is kind and explains the menu for anyone who has questions. Definitely recommend this place if you're in Westwood and want a quick meal. I'll be sure to visit again when I'm nearby. Hope it lasts for decades to come! read more

I guess Headlines has a ghost kitchen called "Joe's Pancake Shop," I ordered some chocolate chip pancakes from there and it has the same address as Headlines. These were honestly some of the worst pancakes I've ever had they're way too doughy and are very bland, I had to douse them in syrup and lather them with butter and I couldn't even finish them. Absolutely do not recommend. read more

Headlines Diner And Grill - Short Stack Of Hotcakes (3) - American Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Compared to other places around the area this place stands out on affordability, quality and great selection of menu items. I came in for a quick bite around breakfast time. The croissant sandwich was pretty good as was the coffee. I'm always grateful for a good cup of joe. The service was friendly and the place is clean with ample room. I think it's a great spot to meet up as well. Parking can be an issue to find so I recommend the Hammer Museum structure for that. So yeah! Stop by the Headline Diner for a quick bite and support of a family business. Cheers! read more

10 dollars for 2 chicken tacos that were "no bueno" just low quality chicken and low quality tortillas and that's it ‍ No I don't recommend this place and no I won't be back. Customer service also sucked. Do better!!! read more

The smash burgers from here are really good! I think they are also available under a ghost kitchen named Goldies Burgers and Fries. I love the shape and heft of the dipper fries, but they are SUPER salty. Might be better to request no-low salt if possible. read more

We loveeeee this place! The food puts me in a good mood and the fries are amazing!!! They have so many menu options and the service and music is great!!! Come to this place for real!!! read more

I'm not sure how this restaurant got less than 4/5 stars because the food is never less than delicious and I have ordered 25 times

The service was good; the waiters were attentive and provided good explanations. My wife ordered the tacos dorados and was amazed that I even left a clean plate. She loved them. The chilaquiles with egg were very good, served with avocado (I ordered an extra portion of chicken to complete my protein). The atmosphere was calm; it's a student place, although today there were subway construction workers there, so it was very calm. read more

Food came out fast. It tasted great and portions were big. I really liked the chilaquiles verdes.

This is my go to breakfast spot! Mostly because it opens as early as 6am during the week while most other places are not open yet, but also because their breakfast burrito is tasty (can't really comment on their other menu items but based on reviews of friends and coworkers , their other things are good too). I mostly phone in and take out but I think they also take online order. Appreciate that they always make the order/ pick up process seamless. I've dined in a few times and they have a relaxing seating area too. The vibe is like a modernized old diner. Not fancy but kind of cozy and kind of easy. Great service. What else to ask for?? read more

It was 1pm on a Sunday. My friends and I were hungry and we were in the Westwood area. After googling some options...I picked "Headliner Diner And Grill". We loved the open atmosphere of the diner, its indoor or outdoor options. Ordering food was easy with a giant digital screen, a board on the wall AND just looking through a menu. The breakfast, lunch & dinner food portions a great and the customer service is fantastic! read more

Asked for sauce on the side for delivery, it was for Huevos Rancheros..... kind of RUiNS the WHOLE meal of the sauce isn't good. Won't be ordering from here again. I even used cook speak "DRY, NO SAUCE, SAUCE ON SIDE" I used to be a server There's $80 I'll never see again. (I had also ordered for my husband, who wont be supporting this business either.) read more

You can't go wrong with anything here. For breakfast, lunch or dinner everything is good. The chilaquiles are delicious and we love the smash burgers/dipper fries read more

A traditional quick order breakfast and lunch spot targeting the UCLA students and the surrounding housing. You order @ the counter and they bring it over to your table. They have a lot of solid choices, both American and Mexican breakfast options, but they don't have the more complex options like my favorite breakfast dish: Eggs Benedict. Pricing was pretty fair, but they don't have wait service. Metered street parking was easy to find, we parked right out front. Overall the flavors were pretty good. Not great but far from bad. I chose the Bruin Special which was a lot of food, and although cooked well it was not special in any way, so in the end it's great if you're in the area, but I would not go out of my way for it. read more

I definitely recommend this place for their burgers. They make the biggest juicy burgers ever!

This food is freaking DELICIOUS!! I ordered from uber eats before twice and fell in love, I am not much of a breakfast person but their breakfast is to die for! I drove here today just to pick it up read more

I really wanted a hot dog and I got a great one. After a few hours at the Hammer Museum, my friend and I were a bit hungry so we stopped in this place nearby. Wow. A perfectly split grilled dog on a lightly toasted bun, plenty of kraut and yellow mustard. Accompanied by a full plate of fries, cooked well (but not greasy) and a large soda. $4 change from a $20. I recommend this place for the food and the shady outdoor tables. The smiling countermen and the waiter service were pretty exemplary too. I'll be back. read more

I ordered the ham and cheese omelette at it was PERFECT!!!! Can't wait to go back and try other items. We're regulars at UCLA sporting events so we now found a "go to" place in Westwood to eat at.

We came in for Father's Day with my group of kids and grandkids, and we were taken care of nicely. Staff is always nice and the food is yummy. Nice patio accommodated our large group. This has been a go-to for lunch for decades and will continue to return as long as I am able to. Keep up the great work! read more

Interior was small but neat and clean. They also had more seating outside. Lots to pick from on the menu. Service was fast and the employees were efficient. Careful with the interior seating, chairs tip over easily and like always taste is for you to decide but I admit the coffee was really good!! read more

This is the horrible breakfast I had from Headlines Dinner and Grill. I had many time their breakfast from Uber. All these time they serve better quality food. But today I'm so hungry and I had overcooked fried chicken and overcooked waffles from them. It's so stale and so much salty. And couldn't eat. I'm trying to talk to Menny who manger of this store. He left the store. I reported to Uber. My advice is to all customers pls, check the food you eat. read more

Headlines Diner And Grill - Fish tacos with requested extra chipotle sauce - American Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I have been coming here for years It's my go to place for weekend breakfast and a quick hamburger during the day when I'm in the village. The new location has outdoor seating, which is a nice change, great burgers and fries and amazing coffee, especially first thing in the morning, it's sort of a hidden jem in Westwood, if you know, you know. And let them know how we want your burger and especially your patty melt done and they'll do it to taste . read more

I got a couple of burritos from Headlines for breakfast. The breakfast chicken burrito was my favorite. A lot of protein and healthy fat with avocado. It was delicious! I wasn't as big of a fan of the luxe breakfast burrito. It was full of meat (sausage, ham, bacon) but not enough of everything else. The flavors all blended together into an unimpressive blah. The strong meatiness of it completely overpowered the pico de gallo. It definitely needs more fresh vegetables thrown in. I ordered to go, so I can't speak on the service or ambiance of the restaurant. But I'm not in a hurry to pull up in person. read more

overpriced, small portions, and genuinely bad quality food. no real butter for the pancakes and syrup wasn't sweet at all somehow. eggs and bacon poorly cooked also. genuinely terrible read more

One of the BEST breakfast orders I've ever had from ordering UberEats. This place clearly cares about customer experience. They included all the necessities to enjoy my meal like the fork and even included butter, ketchup and jelly without having to request it. The eggs were simply amazing! The amount of bacon given was fantastic. And the sourdough toast with butter topped it all off. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. read more

Headlines Diner And Grill - American Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Bog-standard Los Angeles diner food, which means a pretty decent American breakfast or breakfast burritos, or an array of casual lunch items in the same vein. Gotta say the Bruin Breakfast combo, $13ish as of this review, is a pretty good breakfast for Westwood. Two strips of decent bacon, two sausages, a crispy pile of hash browns, and (I upgraded) a kind of so-so french toast. Nothing fancy but absolutely does the job, and their current location right on Westwood Blvd has plenty of outdoor seating given how small the restaurant is. Much like some of their breakfast/brunch/lunch competitors also in Westwood, I can't exactly say they're anything special in the grand scheme of things, but they certainly do the job. 3.5 stars. read more

Headlines Diner And Grill - Bruin breakfast with French toast. - American Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Amazing breakfast at a reasonable price with quality ingredients. Not much more you can ask for at a breakfast diner. This place has I door and outdoor seating. It is inviting and the staff is exceptionally friendly. You may bring your dog for outdoor seating. The bruin special is under $14 and includes your choice of pancakes or waffle. Both are great options. With the waffle you do get your choice of 3 fruits or all 3 if you desire, all fresh. (Strawberries, blueberries, and banana). They make exceptional poached eggs that melt in your mouth. A heart serving of hashbrowns and 2 sausage with 2 bacon. An all around tasty breakfast with perfect portions for those who are hungry. The coffee is also an added pleasure. They have creamers available. French vanilla and regular. A meal for 2 with 1 coffee was less than $35! Fantastic. They had me at FRESH FRUIT which included berries! Overall, if you would like a laid back atmosphere to hang with family or friends this place is ideal. If you want a quiet meal, a place to read this location is also ideal. Enjoy. read more

EVERYTHING I've eaten there so far has been great from their Steak/Tuna Melt Sandwiches to their Breakfast combos.

Curious to try this place passing so many times when visiting Westwood, thought would try on a Thursday early morning. Its great they open at 6am, so I went there before I had a meeting around 9 and just kicked it there. Started with a $3 cup of coffee; they give you a mug and you can refill next to the counter. It was so-so, not great coffee but its a diner. It'll do. The decaf was hot but regular was lukewarm and got cold fast. The cafe/diner has about 10 small tables inside and a nice patio outside to sit and eat, because surprisingly even early there's quite a bit of people; many police/firemen teams, door dash and all that delivery stupid shit coming in and out; they are really busy so I thought food must be great. After finishing coffee, ordered a steak and egg burrito. Cost about 20+ with coffee. The portion was huge and very filling. Side salsa great. The steak could've been better and almost certain a reheat of leftover meats but still tasted ok. Had the dreadful piece or two that you spit out unchewable, only reason knocked down a star. Very fresh pico and avocado in it though. At one point was so loud from fire and police men talking inside and their scanners blaring I went outside and it was very peaceful. In all was good to try; they have a very extensive menu, and very popular with the locals. The big bonus is the patio and opening early, unlike most places around that are 7 or even 8am for breakfast. read more

Headlines Diner And Grill - Asada plate - American Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I honestly wasn't going to rate this place because I felt bad cause it feels like a ma and pa shop but like the more I thought about my experience the more I want to write. I placed my order via phone and I went to go pick it up. I paid and then I got my food and that was that. I went back to my place and noticed the food was wrong so I called and they said no I ordered wrong when I literally said I wanted asada fries? Idk where he thought I said the word plate. Anyways there was no sense of remorse and he was not apologetic at all and he literally just hung up the phone after he asked if I wanted to bring it back. I couldn't bring it back so I didn't but the fact that he hung up without saying bye or sorry is kind of pissing me off. On top of that I just ate my food and the beans and rice and guacamole and salsa were good. The actual asada was absolute trash and rubber and I wanted to almost call them back to ask for a refund but I thought it wasn't worth the battle. How is the main piece of the meal that trash? Totally unacceptable and I will quite literally never be back and I will actively choose to not come when friends or colleagues suggest it. Also there's a lot of homeless people around so their slogan of "coming there to eat to see celebrities" is an absolute joke! read more

this is the best place to grab a sandwich (or whatever you want... this menu is vast) in all of westwood!!! the staff is amazing! you can sit inside or out on the comfy patio. do not sleep on headlines. it's a westwood treasure! read more

The food is great, but sometimes the thing you want isn't on the menu you're looking at. Want a hotdog? It's not on the website menu. Want a burrito bowl with fish, not on postmates. I really hope they sort this out, because like i said, the good is great. read more
