Wonderful breakfast. My grandma's food. I love going there because the food is country that I know.

The food is good till it gives you liquid fire coming out your ass for simply eating waffles and eggs (nothing else but that, no sauces except maple syrup). I think I got food poisoning. The staff and service is the only good part but sometimes they can be ehh. The ambience is alright but is kinda worn down in some places. The bathrooms were clean though if you get bubble guts from the food here so you can paint the toilet in their mishandled food. read more

This place is always great to have breakfast!! Love their cottage fries.. tater tots lol potatoes any way I can get them. Place is old school and has been around since the 70s.. great size menu.. diner vibes. Also love their sandwiches.. their club is my favorite! You can't go wrong with anything on their menu! And all the staff is great! read more

Incredible local comfort and breakfast spot. Don't tell! Shhhh! We had great service, and the seating is comfortable and retro cute. read more

I was in the mood for pancakes this morning, and LeRoy's did not disappoint! They were absolutely perfect--light, fluffy, and dinner plate sized (I almost conquered one!). The bacon was cooked exactly the way I ordered it. A special shoutout to the waitress, Shelly, who was an absolute gem. Warm, welcoming, friendly, helpful, attentive - truly one of the best servers I've ever come across. And then there's the ambiance: classic retro diner charm that instantly makes you feel at home - exactly the kind of spot we've been missing in the area since Rod's closed. read more

If you're breakfast lover this diner is for you! The pancakes are huge and so are the serving size. The servers were attentive, sweet, and delightful. Three servers came by at different times to ask if I wanted a refill on my coffee. The dinning area is spacious and so is the outside dining as well. This place is so worth the price! read more

Le Roy's wins best diner in town in my opinion. I thought the winner was Chef's but Le Roy's got that thing. It's the atmosphere, they got it down right, they got Elvis on the wall, comfortable lived in booths. The kind of place you know you're going to get like 7 coffee refills and be called "hon". Everything tastes like it was smothered in butter. At least I hope it's butter and not margarine... it's probably margarine.. they have random options like you can just add chili to your omelette.. the chilis good too.. Another place that you shouldn't go to unless you're about to move someone's 3 story house or chop down 10 trees in the forest. If you got things to do and need that extra coffee butter everything energy go here, it's good; promise. read more

Large outdoor seating is fantastic. They have an extensive menu, but they also put their specials on the blackboard. I picked Henry Omelet which was delicious with mushrooms, onions and minced beef. Tater tots took up the half of plate. The waitress was nice and fast. If I'm ever in the same area, I definitely will go back. read more

Meeting our freshly minted USC graduate oldest son Brandon for Saturday brunch in tree-lined Monrovia, it turned out that the juice wasn't worth the squeeze. You see- We'd commenced at Le Roy's rival, The Peach Cafe, but when the latter stipulated a "one hour, twenty minute wait" for our party of three, we hopped in our car and made the brief jaunt over to Le Roy's. Le Roy's features a delightful armada of Americana fueled curio. Roosters crowing about morning coffee? Cagey warnings about having it your way, so long as it's the chef's way? Pithy reminders of the Eisenhower era, down to the crimson, buttery soft booths? Check, check and check. We were seated after a twenty minute wait, nothing to get riled up about considering it was 11am on a crisp January morning with sapphire blue skies. The wifey ordered a vegan omelet and I opted for Le Roy's Pancake Combo special, featuring a trio of saucer-sized 'cakes with a pair of eggs, over hard and a trio of bacon spears. Our son, displaying NONE of the so-called elan that his USC diploma must've conferred, placed an order that any partisan of Raising Canes would've applauded: Chicken fingers, mashed potatoes and fruit salad. The food was good but not necessarily remarkable. The service was super swift. The coffee was excellent. Pro tip: Try, if you can, to avoid the bathrooms. Le Roy's has their duo of restrooms positioned in the outdoor dining area that abuts the main dining room. Though my wife reported her restroom as clean, MINE smelled worse than a porta-potty at the Overeaters Anonymous convention, downright squalid. read more

Came back to try their pancake combos for 3 reasons: 1 - I missed out on it last time we were here, 2 - the large portions for a great price, 3 - no wait time (if sitting outside). We both ordered the pancake combos with side orders of bacon, country potatoes, and hash browns. The pancakes are so fluffy and scrambled eggs were made just right. The bacon and country potatoes were good, but the hash browns wasn't as tasty as expected. Superb service, servers came by to greet us and take our orders rapidly, and food arrived so quick that we didn't have to turn into hangry patrons (lol). We were very satisfied with our meal and extremely full from the big portions. Definitely got our moneys worth here. Their food really match their motto, "A meal fit for a king"! Parking is very limited since the lot is tiny. Just be patient and you will find a spot or aim for street parking. They have two all-gender restrooms and it's individual rooms not stalls. We enjoyed sitting outdoor than inside. Last time we sat inside, it felt cramped in since the restaurant is a bit small. Today we sat outside and it feel so much better, especially with the nice weather. Will definitely head back to try their other menu options. read more

Great last minute BRUNCH spot! It's a place where the waitresses remember you and your order. Don't forget to order the tots, the BEST! read more

My best go to for breakfast, brunch or diner type lunch. Super friendly service in a fun old cottage type setting always decorated per the season. Great breakfast and lunch entrees with generous portions at Great prices! Small outdoor patio in the back. The managers and servers are super nice here that it transports you back in time of what good hospitable service should still be like. Always busy so plan to wait a bit. Small dining area with a few counter seats. Pork chops and eggs are the best here! Great pancakes too! Everything made from scratch! read more

Le Roy's it was nice to be back! The service was great, the food was good. The vibes were good. My husband loved the biscuits and gravy, I liked my pancakes. If you're out in Monrovia give them a try. read more

Good breakfast spot, but not great. I had the chicken fried steak and eggs for $26. It was just okay and the home fries terrible (overcooked & way too many Bell peppers and onions), chicken fried steak itself nothing to rave about kinda small. The place has a homely feel kinda country old skool vibe to it. Waitresses are always great here and service excellent. Good place to visit, but not for your regular spot. I'm sure at one time this place had frequented regulars. read more

I've been trying to dine here for twenty years, but the crowds were always too big and COVID did not help matters. Today, we were able to walk right in and get a booth, which surprised the wife and me. I guess Labor Day had thinned the crowds down, but the food was marvelous, just as I dreamed. My favorite menu item is grits, which I have enjoyed when traveling the southeast and enjoy a lot of butter and pepper with grits. As for service and hospitality, the wait staff are right out of the sixties, with a lot of pleasantries and quick servings coming in piping hot. It's rare to find such great service and an Americana atmosphere in Los Angeles. We came in around 9:00 AM and probably hit a sweet spot between crowds. read more

Just moved into the area and the food was great for breakfast! The tater tots are super crispy too. Service was up to par as well. Never had to ask for a refill on my coffee. Ambiance has a nice homey old diner style feel to it. Will definitely come here again soon! read more

Don't like bad reviews. This place is very dated and tables are too close together. We had two waitresses who attended us, but they were too busy to be attentive. The food. I asked for a chicken sandwich. The chicken was dry and NO flavor. I think they forgot to season the meat or something. The fries were ok. The chicken fried steak was ok. No wow factor. I did look to the next to me and saw the salad the person ordered and it was not appealing at all. I wanted to like this place. But honestly, I don't think I would go back. read more

Sumo wrestler portions! Come hungry. Cute hole-in-the-wall all American diner serving up good food at reasonable prices - mainly breakfast/lunch. Breakfast entrees includes a choice of: Biscuits and Gravy, Toast, or one Pancake... the Biscuits and Gravy were yummy! HASH BROWNS here are not great imo. Mushy. Instead go with the tater tots or home fried potatoes - those look so much more appetizing. Service is friendly and parking available in their private lot. I imagine this place gets packed during the weekends - it's a small dive and I dig it. read more

"Real" turkey sandwich. I've been looking for a place that serves real turkey sandwich and was so excited to learn LeRoy's has it. I ordered to go so couldn't give an opinion on service. I definitely will return. It's also just down the street from where I live so it's an added bonus. I can't wait to try the turkey with cranberry next time. I ordered potato salad as the side and was surprised it was a decent portion. read more

Great breakfast place. Huge servings. I had the waffle combo. We went on a Saturday. They were busy but we got lucky and were seated immediately- party of 5. It was very warm in there on a hot day. I'm not sure if they air conditioning wasn't working or if they just didn't have any. The wait staff was soooo nice. Great service. Never had to ask for coffee refill- they were there like "Johnny on the spot". Food was good. read more

It's an old time coffee shop. But it's a crap shoot. To paraphrase Forrest Gump, "Le Roy's is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get." Food can be good and it might be inedible! Over the past year prices have gone up considerably and the portions have declined. They say good cooks are hard to find, this place proves it. read more

7/20/24 was today, Saturday, around 9:50am. Was looking forward to eating breakfast here again, as it's been a few years. Was very busy as usual, but sat at the counter. Placed my order being very specific about how I wanted my meal done. For example I indicated I wanted my scrambled eggs thoroughly mixed so they are all yellow not with streaks of white. Anyway, server wrote down her interpretation of what I told her. Again, I'm very specific. Server then went on taking several other orders from customers. Order arrived and eggs were burned. I told server and she said but you told me you wanted them well done. This is another reason why I'm very specific when ordering. I said thoroughly mixed twice not thoroughly well done. Sent order back to get eggs redone. Food returned, eggs still overcooked, and my sausages, ham, fries were cold. That's what sometimes happens when your order is sent back. My toast arrived, which was supposed to be lightly toasted, almost black and well done. Well, since the food is not free and most likely would have cost over $30, I got up and walked out. I'm no longer as tolerant as I once was to pay good money and get inferior food which I did my best to clarify when ordering. So I continue to be very specific and make sure the server understands my request. If it's wrong or not reasonably fixable (I do try to be tolerant and have some compassion), I will leave. No more patience. I went to another restaurant which I will not name, and the order was perfect. The picture is of the other restaurants order I received not Leroy's as I did not take a photo there. read more

The place gets 5star all day from me. BUT ! Costumers not the staff are strange least to say. To give you a background information I am a proud American who was not born here but grew up here. I am in My 40s . EVERYTIME we walk in ( we=party of 4 different ethnic backgrounds) most of their costumers who are in their 80s stopped eating or even talking and stare at us. First I thought that was my imagination but after trying to bring different co workers to this place that all got the same vibe, so before you accuse me of something keep that in your mind . FOOD , is amazing it is a real American dish. Not the type that will raise your blood pressure but the one that is delicious and classic American at same time difficult to achieve both at same time. Their healthy choices are good too but I prefer classics better. Their chili is majestic it really feels as if a cowboy made it on Dutch oven while he was traveling from Texas to California and stopped the night nearby Grand Canyon for dinner. Try it and remember this line please.. Interior is great . Decoration is awesome and they are ready for saint Patrick's day. Atmosphere as I explained it's not the staff or owners fault but if it was me I'd encourage young crowd to come in for obvious reasons. No music but a country music would have been fun. read more

The food blew me away! When you do the classics it has to be truly amazing for me to be excited about it. They more than deliver on flavor. The ambiance is so fun, and our server, Shelly was simply fantastic. I will now be craving this food until the next time I can come in. read more

How can anyone say the HObO soup is amazing? I just had it. Greasy flavorless broth with soggy over cooked noodles. Horrible, so disappointed. But the service was spot on, hence the three stars. read more

3 stars for closing at 3:00 on the weekends. What's that all about? At least stay open until 7:00. The money that you would make. If you get there at 2:00 by chance, you feel the pressure to hurry eat and get out. The food is generous and good. Coffee is weak! read more

Had a special Mom, Daughter, & Sister breakfast day, it was so special!!!! My first time here and it has family feel, welcomed with a smile, and great service. Clean booths and full of cute decorations all around. Great to catch up and have a great start of our day!!!Came here with an appetite and wasn't let down! Shelly our server had wonderful recommendations and a great sense of humor! Tried their Denver omelette yummy! Service Size huge! Pancake was amazing! Tater tots were crispy and delicious!

First time here, but I pass it all the time, I live 12 miles away. By myself and sat at the counter. Very chatty place, strangers having friendly conversation with each other. I ordered the pancakes, eggs and sausage combo. The 10" stack of three huge pancakes could have fed a whole family. Very typical diner fare and ambiance. Not likely to come back since I've got diners like this where I live, but still a decent place for a classic breakfast. read more

First time here. So much food, it's hard to finish it all. We really gave our best shot at it. Recommended: Pancakes: fluffy and light Greek Omelette: so extremely generous with the feta cheese; fluffy and creamy cheesy omelette Cottage Fries: thin sliced potatoes (reminds me of chips), eating guilt-free - dip in ketchup top with the extra feta cheese (omg - it was so good- excuse mine weird food combination) They didn't had grapefruit juice, so I option for plain hot water. I'm a picky water type of person and the water is good. Lol none of that tap mineral taste and no odd smell. Decent parking lot, maybe 15 ish spaces. Will come again to try the French toast and experience the counter seating option. It just looks pretty awesomeness. read more

My dad's steak was supposed to be well done. He got a rare steak with blood all over his eggs. Gross af!! They took it back and when we got it again still blood. I told them if we can get it cooked well and not bloody. They took it back and brought a burnt steak. Like are they joking ? It was inedible. It wasn't even my plate and I was disgusted with everything. If a chef can't cook a steak correctly they shouldn't be a chef. I ordered a traditional CRISPY waffle and it was soggy. Service was terrible, they never came to offer refills or take our finished plates or ask if we needed anything. 0 stars. read more
