Located right off the freeway, Mr. D's shares its parking lot with parking lot with some Tesla super chargers so very convenient to refuel the car and the body! No problem getting a table at 10:30 AM on a weekday. Big menu with lots of choices for breakfast, lunch or dinner. My wife and I decided to share the Placencia Skillet ($17.70) and a short stack of pancakes ($10). The skillet comes with two scrambled eggs, a whole bunch of potatoes, ham, sausage and bacon and a side pancake - DELISH!!! And the short stack (two more pancakes) was really good too. The restaurant is clean, the service excellent. Definitely an excellent place to charge the car and get a bite to eat when driving from Vegas to LA. read more

Went to Mr. D's and had such an amazing experience! The food was absolutely delicious, but what really stood out was the service. Esteban went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect--so attentive, prompt, and genuinely considerate. He truly bent over backwards to make us happy, and it did not go unnoticed. If you go, definitely ask for Esteban--you won't be disappointed! 10/10 (would give  10 stars read more

The two pictures were taken on different days, or not oh well. But we came once and got burgers and really really liked them. They were so good and the fries were nice and crispy. We also ordered a milkshake that was great too. We also came for breakfast and it could've been better. I wish we would've gotten more food. I ended up eating all of my food, the omelette with the toast, and then finished off half of my girlfriends pancakes read more

Open since 1978 this is one of the classic, famous diners on former Route 66. The service and prices were great however, the food was just good and given all of the steep competition in terms of other diners in the area I had to give D's a four, but overall we still enjoyed our breakfast. Inside looks as you would expect from the outside in that it is a traditional, 1950s retro diner. I have been going through all the diners in LA County and this was one of my very last ones on the list. It's located in eastern Los Angeles, in La Verne, in a sleepier part of town. There is a large parking lot attached so parking was free and easy. Also, our server was very polite and just like all diners everything that we ordered came out very fast for a fair price. I usually get Eggs Benedict or a Country Fried Steak when I go to a diner, but this visit I wanted to try one of their newly added items: the Loco Moco. It was not the best version that I've had this year, but it was still really good, the burger patty was cooked perfectly, so were the eggs, however, the gravy wasn't as tasty as some others that I've had recently. It was a very large sized portion, so I was quite full after finishing it. The menu does have a lot of other classic dishes on it, which I would try if I stop in again in the future. I would suggest this to anyone in the area, although there are a few other diners close by that I believe edge this one out. read more

My husband and come here once a month for breakfast. The food is good. We decided to go on Mothers Day and we knew it would be busy. We arrived about 930am and there were a few tables open. It took a while for anyone to acknowledge us but once the waitress did, she sat is down. Everything was ok until she came to our table and pulled a chair that we weren't using and moved it to another table. She didn't say anything to us. It was rude but whatever. Then a new waitress came by and put the bill on the table and asked if we needed anything. We said no, we were good. We were finishing up our coffee. She said, Well we have many people on our waitlist that are waiting for a table and then she walked away. She was very rude . It was now 10:45am. We just got up and left. We were disappointed in the way we were treated and will not be returning. read more

It's one of my family's go-tos whenever we can't decide where to go but know we can get great value from in a pinch. We love everything about Mr D's. It's just a stone's throw away from the house. Great food, great prices. read more

We've been coming to Mr D's for over 20 years now. The menu has changed, but the service has not. We always get the same friendly and warm welcome each time. And the food offerings got pared down - which is great because too many choices can be overwhelming - and they retained the most popular menu items. Our food came in record time and was tasty, filling and a good sized portion! We got so much bang for our buck. Mr. D's is always the best bet for a satisfying meal. read more

It's ok. Food here is hot and fresh. Ordered BLT with avocado. Friends ordered various things nothing to remember. Something missing? Seems every time I come here we see someone not happy with service? Plenty of food options and a bit pricey. Tesla charging steps away is a plus. Wouldn't drive out of my way and I would eat if charging car next door. read more

Great service with waitress named Susan, she only works here on Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday night, she makes me feel like in a family. Food is good but service is excellent! read more

What a spur of the moment stop and let me tell you I'm SO glad we did!! These were some of the best burgers, service and hospitality we've had in a long time. We will 1000% be back to enjoy more delicious food. On a non food related note... the staff were absolutely amazing. Susan was wonderful, made us laugh and feel like family. If you want amazing food with even more amazing people, you need to come here! See you soon Susan!!! read more

It is my birthday today and I received an email with a $10.00 off online coupon. Ordered a Cobb salad and the corn beef dinner. Our server Susan made our day! Corn beef was tough, she took it back and brought back the most tender and delicious corn beef! We enjoyed my birthday dinner and Susan was the "icing on the cake." Thank you Mr. D's, you did not disappoint... once again! We'll be back.... and asking for Susan!!! read more

Great atmosphere awesome food, and phenomenal service....must come and check them out loco mofo was so good.

If diners had a Hall of Fame, Mr. D's would already have its jacket hanging in the rafters. From the second you pull up, you know exactly what you're getting -- classic chrome, old-school vibes, and zero interest in being trendy. This place isn't chasing food fads. It's too busy doing what diners were meant to do: serve real food that actually tastes good. Let's talk about the plate, because this wasn't some sad diner stereotype. The shrimp skewers were legit -- grilled perfectly, seasoned right, and cooked by someone who understands that shrimp shouldn't be rubber bands. The grilled vegetables? Fresh, colorful, and not drowning in grease like they're trying to hide something. Even the bread showed up warm and confident, like it knew it belonged on the plate. And that's the thing -- everything here knows its role. Nothing is pretending to be "elevated." Nothing is trying to impress Instagram. It's just honest, well-executed diner food that reminds you why diners still matter. Inside, it's peak Americana: counter seating, booths, stainless steel, and the unmistakable feeling that this place has been doing it right for a long time. Outside, the building itself is a time machine -- the kind of spot you'd expect to see in a movie where the food is always good and nobody leaves hungry. Service? Friendly, efficient, and refreshingly normal. No forced cheer. No attitude. Just people doing their job well -- which somehow feels rare these days. Bottom line: Mr. D's Diner isn't trying to reinvent the wheel. They're just making sure it rolls perfectly -- every single time. If you want a diner that actually delivers on the promise of a diner, this is it. Five stars. No notes. I'll be back. read more

I've been coming a lot more since they updated their menu. I have been very impressed with all the food! I also tried the pumpkin pie which was to die for, lol. I love this place a lot. I am partial to old school diners and if you are too, this is the place for you. Service is always great and the staff very nice people. I've never had a bad experience. My favorites so far are the hamsteak and eggs and the skillets with tots is so yum! So, if you're in the mood for good food and service come on down! I'll see you there! read more

Stopped by on our day out and we loved it. This diner had something for everyone. And everything was yummy. The aesthetic of the place was so nice and the staff was very welcoming. Our Server was Susan and she was awesome! She was so friendly and always attentive to our needs and making sure everything was good from start to finish. Will be coming back. read more

While the food was great and they put together a really good combination in the country breakfast--country gravy over sausage over biscuits plus two eggs and hash browns--the service I found was slow at times. It's not their fault: they are a pretty busy joint. But still at the end of the meal I was left waiting for another coffee refill and the bill after that when it became clear there wouldn't be time for a refill. And, while the first half engendered good thoughts about how great the place was, the end of the meal I just felt kind of annoyed no one would refill a coffee or take my money without what felt like excessive flagging someone down. Again, I loved the meal and the first half of the meal was perfect service. I just hope my next trip here isn't met with the same level of inattentiveness that colored my experience at the end of the meal. read more

Definitely the draining of the salads. Both times we attempted before we wrote a review. The salad had so much water that the dressing to water ratio was definitely off. The first time the mini berry pie was so banding that it made use come back just for pie. The second time we came we decided it was the last time. The pie wasn't like the first time it was old and when we let the waiter know they tried to come and explain it was made that morning. We probably got the one from the day before. Either way nice family environment just not for me. read more

This is a delightful Old-fashioned diner in the La Verne neighborhood. The owners went all out on the design, decor and furnishings. The menu gives generous portions and has good selection of breakfast omelets, egg scramble and skillet meals. The pancakes, waffles and French toast have your favorite fruit toppings (strawberry, Blueberry, chocolate chip, banana, etc). The Lunch and dinner menu is also impressive with burgers, fried chicken, pasta, meatloaf and salads. I ordered the Sliders, which were bigger than the average mini Sliders I have had at many other places. My strategy was to eat a light meal and a chocolate milk shake. Everything was delicious! The customer service from the hostess to the wait staff was very good and the employees were friendly. You could tell that they enjoy their job. The restaurant is squeaky clean throughout the restaurant and patio. It is a pleasure to dine here. The prices are a little on the high side, but the amount you receive could easily be shared or leftovers taken home for a second meal. Take a step back in time to experience this diner for yourself and don't forget to tell'em that Rosemary sent ya! read more

As usual, this place far exceeds my expectations. In my opinion and perhaps bcos I appreciate this place more and more during each visit, but the food always tastes better, service is ALWAYS AMAZING and the vibe here is always so positive and happy. A restaurant where strangers say, "Good morning" or, "have a great day". Something you simply don't receive at other restaurants. I sure enjoy visiting this place read more

Today is Valentines Day so of course you expect a wait at any busy restaurant. But I gotta say it wasn't that busy here. Hostess never even looked up at us because she was working on to go orders. No hello, no we will be with you soon, no acknowledgment. And then a nicer gentleman came out and sat us at a table. And the hostess who I'm know guessing is a waitress along with a waiter, came through the area we were sitting both of them. And spoke to the other tables around us, brought drinks, brought food, took orders, and also brought the checks. And after 15 minutes of no acknowledgment at all, hey be with you in a sec, hey would you like a water. We left. Thanks Mr Ds. I would never go back anywhere that customer servicing isn't a priority. read more

Went there a few weeks ago and it seems the customers base has changed a lot. It was not as busy, not that positive attitude that we enjoyed from a Greek-owned establishment on a Sunday morning. Service was lacking in that the servers were more interested in chatting than service and the server was a little crass. It has become quite the liberal environment, as before it was rather neutral--maybe why much of is La Verne Heights base did not seem to be there. The food was about the same. But the ambience made us want to eat and leave. I hope the owner changes the vibe in that place, then we will be back. read more

Mr.D's a traditional American diner offering a diverse menu that's guaranteed to please everyone. It appears most popular for breakfast, but their complete menu also includes a wide variety of lunch and dinner selections, as well. Prices are equivalent to nearby local competitors. Additionally, weekday dinner specials are also offered nightly. The restaurant itself is decorated in a 50s theme with some nice little touches like a vintage gas pump gum ball machine near the dining counter. There's plenty of indoor seating with open-air seating on their enclosed patio as an option. Servers are efficient, but service can sometimes be a little slow. This appears to be due to a lack of coordination between the kitchen and the dining room. On our visit, my breakfast order was delivered nearly 10-minutes after my wife's. If you're not on a tight schedule, Mr. D's is worth your consideration as a dining option for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. read more

Impromptu dinner with family tonight, wanted something quick and nearby however only the latter met the requirements. Waitress was friendly and outgoing however it took some time for the food to come out. I was hungry so forgot to take pics of the food This is what we ordered: *Roast Beef w/ roasted veggies and baked potato... only the baked potato was yummy. The roast beef looked like it came from a frozen dinner meal. I had a couple of bites and had to pass. *Turkey and mushroom burger.. my hubby ordered this with onions and they were cut pretty thick. He finished his meal so ig it was good *buffalo wings these were standard, as expected came with your typical veggie sticks. The ranch didn't taste like ranch.. it was different. read more

I loveee Mr D's! I used to come here all the time before I moved to Central California. I was in the area and stopped by and it didn't disappoint. Stuffed French toast with Nutella is always a must but I ate it before I could take a picture. My bf and I shared the classic burger. Sooo good and it comes with a giant pickle + fries or Cole slaw I wish there was a Mr. D's closer to where I live now. Best stuffed French toast ever the service is always great too Joslyn was so sweet and beautiful read more

Breakfast was slow today celebrating my birthday and we came here for breakfast. So they have a senior menu and if you do t order off that menu they give you a discount 15% you can't beat that. I know you can't control people was there was a annoying girl sitting close by laughing loudly and cursing a lot don't know why every other word has to be the f-bomb The food good to much cheese for me but the mushrooms were good I have the avocado mushroom Swiss omelet to many eggs for me as well I think they use 4. That is what was left from my breakfast. Love the hash browns here. read more

My family and I went to Mr. D's Diner tonight for dinner, and like always, the food and service were simply wonderful! The staff are always so friendly and welcoming, and the food is always so good (and affordable)! Moreover, our night was made even better thanks greatly to our server, Estebán. He was so thoughtful and attentive to us throughout the entirety of our meal. He was especially so to my grandmother, who was having a hard time walking to the door at the end of evening ( upon noticing this, he kindly walked over to it and held it for her). If you ever go to Mr. D's request Estebán! He was amazing! read more

Me & the husband love Mr. D's and travel 30ish miles to eat here. I'm a creature of habit and usually order simple breakfasts or their chicken fettuccine after which is really good. We've also been to their other location in Placentia and everything between the two locations are the same. Friendly workers, family friendly vibes, and food comes pretty quickly even when busy. Recent trip we noticed they changed to new menu's and added a couple new dishes. I decided to try the Charbroiled chicken dinner. It's a half chicken in their own spices with two sides, I chose corn and their greek lemon butter rice. Sad to report that the chicken was cooked well and juicy, but I couldn't taste a thing regarding flavor and the rice didn't taste anything of lemon. Regardless, we'll still be back! read more

We sure waited a long time for a pretty mediocre lunch. My wife's patty melt was the highlight. My roast beef melt had watery beef and ortega chiles. My last bite finally had a bit of chile with flavor. That one bite was what the whole sandwich should have been. Both melts had nice grilled bread. The portions are generous. I didn't lije either of our sides but some of that is a matter of style. I don't care for steak fries and these didn't change my opinion. The cole slaw sweet and heavy on mayo. I guess some people like it that way. The waitresses were busy so I'll forgive them for asking what I was drinking (looking at my empty glass) but then never refilling my iced tea. The place including the restroom was clean. read more
