I miss---- the steak breakfasts ! The best service and incredible atmosphere! Please come back- please come back. It's not LA without you.
Don't know what to say... sad to hear they have CLOSED. Had a wonderful dinner here at The PDC... I take off my hardhat in sadness. Thank you PDC for the memory and a meal to remember.
How did I not know about this place? Founded in 1921, this 24/7 restaurant is one of the oldest restaurant in Los Angeles. PDC first opened in the backyard of a home of the founder's friend. The goal was to mimic a railway dining car experience. It's been at its current location since 1923. As if that weren't enough, it's been in a few movies, the most famous being Training Day. My visit was on an early Tuesday morning for breakfast. The parking lot (valet only) was empty. Metered street parking was available. The first thing I noticed approaching the front door was the sign that read the restaurant offers shuttle service to the Staples center, Nokia Theatre, Disney Concert Hall and the Music Center. Upon entering, I immediately felt as if I hopped on a train and was getting ready to travel. I actually think the first room was an old dining car. The ceiling was low, the room was dimly lit, and the room was narrow. Square windows lined the walls. Deep rich colors (brown, green, red) were the color theme. My party of 3 had the restaurant to ourselves for a good 15 mInutes until a party of 5 arrived and were seated in the same room. Being the only ones there for a moment, I took the opportunity to check out the other rooms (wine room, bar, other dining areas). I was surprised at how expansive he restaurant was. It seemed like I just keptt finding rooms. The menu had 2 complete pages of breakfast options. Most options were standard. What stood out was the lyonnaise potatoes. Obviously, I ordered them as my side with my egg white omelette. The other 2 in my party had the French Toast and Breakfast Meat plate and the "Two Eggs and... " dish. Our food arrived quickly, was plated well, and was in large portion. Everything was delicious! Highlights - The potatoes were mixed with onions and were light and crispy. The strawberry jam I used on my bread was amazing. Service was outstanding! The gentleman who served us was attentive, warm, and accommodating. Prices were on the higher side but worth the experience. So happy to have finally found out about PDC. Better late than never... * There is also a PDC in Santa Monica.
After trying out Pacific Dining Car's Santa Monica location, we wanted to compare it to this location after hearing about the 98 cents baseball steak promotion. 5 stars!!!!! Absolutely love the decor of the Westlake location way more when compared to the Santa Monica location since there's actually a railway car transformed into a dining room. Found out online that the Westlake location is the original, and this is truly evident when you first walk in given the incredible charm of the restaurant which makes you feel you traveled back in time to the early 20th century. We ordered the 98 cent Baseball Steaks along with the Dining Car Salad (shared between 2), Maine Lobster Mashed Potatoes Side, and Citrus Garlic Asparagus Side. Cooked medium rare, the baseball steak was cooked perfectly tender and juicy, and it was super comforting and delicious, especially when we added the complimentary smothered mushrooms and onions. Don't forget to ask for the complimentary steak sauces and accompaniments. My steak went so perfectly well with the lobster mash and asparagus sides. Every bite of the lobster mash had lobster pieces, and I will definitely order this side dish again with my steak when I come back, and I will be back! We signed up online for the 98 cent baseball steak special and found the process extremely easy. We even had to request a date change to our reservation, which was happily and promptly accommodated. As with the Santa Monica location, the Westlake location has a staff that goes above and beyond for the guests. The staff was super friendly and welcoming. Definitely will be back soon to celebrate special occasions or simply to have a wonderful steak. The Westlake location goes on my list of places to get a good steak! There's valet parking available, but we found free street parking on Wilshire Boulevard. To save a little money, look for free street parking.
(Dined 07/29/15 WE @ 2:00pm): Enter into this dining car located less than thirty minutes away from the Pacific Ocean if you wanted to grab a hearty steak any time of day! It had been years since I last visited the Pacific Dining Car Westlake location (I've never been to their Santa Monica location) until a business lunch meeting brought me back. Known for being open 24-hours every day, back in the day I frequented this classic establishment for a late-night cocktail or a meaty meal once the nearby bars and clubs kicked me to the curb. The lack of any dress code or etiquette was also a plus based upon my own attire during those heady boozy days and the gentleman in shorts and a t-shirt who sat in a nearby booth on this particular day. Would my return conjure up fond memories of years past!? PURCHASE Bread, Butter, & Iced Water (COMP): Crumbly, flaky, soft, and warm pieces of bread accompanied by a decoratively-designed ball of butter, I could've eaten multiple baskets and packed my meal to go https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=hwkmWxjVtaFIEZPxq5aAOQ&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw! 2012 Glass Of Tinton Negro Argentinean Malbec Red Wine ($15.95): Deep red color, robust dried dark berries oak aroma, medium body, earthy blackberry cherry taste, mouthy finish, rich berry aftertaste, and medium astringency - a bit pricey but a nice warm wine https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=PrAbErYwnPfgzlVs4eShVw&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. [ONION RINGS/STRAWS/STRINGS ALERT - 2.0 of 5.0 STARS] Onion Rings w/Dill Ranch Dressing ($13.95): A medium portion with an assortment of ring sizes that looked more like calamari. They came out hot, slightly greasy, a light shade of tan nary any ridges I loved, soft batter that didn't crumble but lacked much flavor, and each onion ring stayed intact when bitten into. An unexciting and disappointing appetizer especially for the price https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=RD6N9IHV8fDzlRbwa-1k5A&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. 10oz Baseball Steak w/Smothered Mushrooms ($33.95): I'm not a fervent meat-eater but enjoyed the flavor of flesh at times. So prepared medium-well and lightly seasoned, I liked the extra charred outside while the juicy pink savory inside was blissful with each chew. The side mushrooms were prepared simply with olive oil and salt and paired well https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=dGit92VNDpiIABqDzEdFlg&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. Chocolate Souffle w/Vanilla Cream Sauce ($16.95): A death-to-diabetics dessert with its lava-like oozing chocolate center and rich cake coupled with a luscious whipped vanilla sauce, I moaned for more https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=deHex5J1KPltw5x6BF_Knw&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw! SERVICE Reservations preferred, I was greeted by an older gentleman who led me to an empty booth where I was then met by another older gentleman with a menu. Glasses of water and bread/butter shortly appeared, and minutes later we were ready to order where upon our respective drinks came out quickly and food items arrived in a staggered manner. Periodically, we were checked on while our water glasses were filled. Impeccable service matched the well-appointed staff classically-dressed in tuxedos. PARKING (Varied; $8.00 this instance) I valeted since there were no free open street parking along the main drag of 6th St. and surrounding streets, but if you're lucky a free spot might open up so keep watch. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE A "train" motif where each room was named for a separate dining car, an old Hollywood classic lush feel swept over you as soon as you walked in and noticed the dark brown wood walls, plush forest green booths and chairs, tiny table lamps, and a hint of mustiness https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=MQuji1Wu--5BW4A2StPBYg&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. Scant natural lighting came through the handful of glass windows that lined only one side of the restaurant while low-wattage intimate electric ceiling lights filled in the rest. One TV resided in the bar area https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=eF70pufTCEXCDyjium7uog&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw while there was no background music. ATTIRE Although no actual dress code, at the very least I'd be business casual with a buttoned-up collared shirt, khakis, and Doc Martens. OVERALL I still found Westlake's Pacific Dining Car location very charming after all these years and needed to put this place back on my radar. With the exception of the onion rings, everything else was wonderful. Certainly pricey for my value-minded self but would dine on special occasion. As a more experienced adult I appreciated what they offered akin to Musso & Frank and hoped others did the same. I found very good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $88.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice...AMEX! 4.0 STARS
I'm not much of a steakhouse kinda person, but decided to give this place a try during their 98 cents baseball steak promo to celebrate their 98th year in business. Came on a Friday night for dinner and was seated right away. I will admit the Baseball Steak was pretty good. Also got a side of Creamed Spinach, which was decent. I'm glad I got to try this place out but given the normal price of this steak is $40, I probably won't be coming back anytime soon.
DineLA was a good opportunity to have a first time visit to one of L.A.'s venerable dining institutions which include Musso & Frank's, Cole's, El Cholo's, etc. We dined in the old school Victorian modifed railroad car section, but Pacific Dining Car has many rooms decorated differently to create different moods. Above all, what is so wonderful about PDC is that all the carpeting & drapery absorb sounds for tranquil dining where 3 leisurely hours passed by pleasantly. 0) Oven warmed baguette that wafted pleasing yeast scents along w/ sweet butter. 1) Two fresh plump, sweet tasting shrimp accompanied by a spicy horseradish rich cocktail sauce garnished w/ palate cleansing bitter salad greens that were unfortunately a bit wilted. 2) Baseball Steak: Three week aged Top Sirloin as described by the long time waiter who started as a bus boy in the 1980's. Ordered it medium rare and came out as promised. Seared dark brown to seal in the juices as well as to add a bit of chewiness. Very little fat, lean, soft w/ some resistance. The aging gives this beef a bit of complex, blood minerality & subliminal sourness. Although the flavour profile is different, it reminds me a bit of liver in having an earthier funk. Side of sautéed button mushrooms & onions was poured over the steak. I used the butter for the bread to slather on the steak for a more dairy, fatty tone. French fries are not twice fried like Belgian style so it's not as crisp on the outside & creamy inside, but are perfectly serviceable. 1-2a) Ancient Peaks, Cabernet Sauvignon, Paso Robles 2016 $42: Splurged and got the bottle since DineLA menu was discounted. Scents of oak, dark fruit, damp earth. Tastes of heavy, fruity blackberry, blueberry, dark chocolate. Finish is touch acidic, dry from tannin, sweet aftertaste. Nice foil to the aged meatiness of the steak. 3) Hot Fudge Brownie Sundae: Ultra dark, rather dense, moist Valrhona chocolate cake, candied walnut, drizzling of hot fudge, crème chantilly, vanilla bean ice cream. Rich dessert, but I felt a bit of bitter orange infused Grand Marnier, that was $13 for a generous pour, would add complementary citrus to the overall chocolate dominant theme. Much like the chocolate-bitter orange glace by Bertillon on Île Saint Louis. 3a) Coffee here is mellow, satisfying, the mild bitterness was a good counter to the chocolatiness. However, I was surprised it was $7.95 although there are refills. PDC is probably the only fancy pants restaurant that is open 24/7 in Los Angeles. Food is nothing revelatory, but the old school ambiance & good service by retro jacketed waiters took me back in time perhaps by 70 years or so. As explained by a regular as we briefly conversed in the men's room, "It may be expensive, but what you get here and what you pay for is civilized, serene dining, a break from the outside world." I have to concur with that estimation.
Came here for the 98 cent baseball steak We had a reservation party of 3 seated right away. We each reserved the 98 cent baseball steak and shared three sides which was the house salad, asparagus and au gratin potatoes. One of us ordered medium and two of us ordered medium rare. The medium rare was more on the medium side and was over cooked. The asparagus was ok but the au gratin potatoes was not bad. For 98 cent steak, I guess I can't complain but I don't think we would pay full price for this steak. The house salad was tasty with lot of avocados. The ambiance was pretty cool knowing the restaurant uses the original dining cars. The servers were very pleasant and attentive.
Walked in at 3 am after dancing the night away at a club... why not have a full steak dinner, lobster bisque, creamed spinach and sauteed mushrooms. Everything was amazing. The steak was cooked to a perfect medium rare, all the sides were so well seasoned, and that lobster bisque was filled with chunks of lobster. Services was great, ambiance was nice as well.
So my friend told me about this deal that sounded too good to be true. They are still having the deal as I just looked. It's the $0.98 cent deal and you get a 10 ounce baseball size filet. All sides you'll have to pay for but that's no big deal really if you desire not to order a thing but I'd rather them stay in business so we ordered two sides and shared it. You can upgrade your deal and pay the difference for a 15 ounce if you wish. For the side we got the truffle lobster Mac n cheese which was sad on the lobster part where as I only found two slivers and it was on the bland side so I just added a lot of salt and peppers to liven it up. The second side we got was the cream of corn which was better seasoned. The steak needed some salt and pepper love. They normally come with a sauce of your choice but for the deal you have to pay for the sauces. Now the bread they bring out is free and it was good enough that we got seconds. No free refills on soda as it comes in a bottle and no more straws which really is crap. Service was really slow I might add but I was astonished to learn they are open 24/7 so I guess they don't want to overstaff but it was dinnertime. Go onto their website and see if you can sign up still. https://pacificdiningcar.com/98-cent-baseball-steak.html
Pacific Dining Car is a grassroots downtown steakhouse. They've been in business since 1921 and attracted from the old to the new Hollywood icons. The interior takes you to a place inside a train car, something that we don't experience much in a modern-day era. Although the area is now in a sketchy neighborhood, historically, the place was a bustling and prosperous town. And sadly, there are many areas like this in Los Angeles where the glam no longer shines. PCD is one of the few steakhouses that are open late, practically until dawn. Who would be dining at the late hours of the evening or the wee hours of the morning? Movie stars, Street lords, Doctors, and Politicians? Who knows who you'll meet at this time. I took my dad here because we were both selected for the annual BASEBALL STEAK deal for only $0.98 each -- 98 cents to celebrate their 98th Anniversary. To avoid the rush, I reserved my table at 4:30 pm. Upon walking in, there was only one other party dining across from us. We weren't initially ready to order when the server came, and due to that delay, the server didn't show up for quite some time. Luckily, I was not in a rush as I was admiring the beauty and age of the restaurant. What we ordered: WARMED SPINACH SALAD - Order this. Possibly one of the better experiences I had with a salad order. The salad was tasty, and their magic ingredient is the homemade balsamic vinaigrette. The sliced date and goat cheese complimented well. Although I genuinely enjoyed this, I thought there was little too much of the dressing and drenching the plate like a mini pool. BASEBALL STEAK medium-rare - The highlight of the night. For 98 cents, this was an absolute deal! If you're getting a grass-fed steak for the price of 4 piece McNuggets, you cannot complain about Nothing. Initially, I wasn't sure if my order was prepared right, because it wasn't that medium-rare tender from the first bite. But, as I kept cutting into the meat, it was starting to taste right. Also, the roasted garlic that came with the steak was fantastic as I was ready to lure away any vampires on site. ROQUEFORT MASHED POTATOES - In two words, very buttery. The secret to making delicious mashed potatoes is the usage of butter and lots of butter. Well, PCD seems to have done it right because it was creamy and buttery. It was an excellent complement to the steak.
My boyfriend and I came here for the dine La lunch. They have a parking lot but it's 9$ valet so we parked in the streets instead. We didn't have reservations but we got seated right away. The restaurant inside reminds me of the olden times 1920 where rich people would dine in trains. It's really nice to experience this. If you have patience and not in a rush this place is perfect for you. We arrived at 3pm and the service took our food orders at 3:30pm and the complementary bread didn't arrived around 3:50pm. The service is very slow, we had to go back to the car to add more time. Pro on food : the complementary bread looks plain but it's toasted so it's pretty good and soft.we both ordered the shrimp cocktail and i loved it. The shrimps were huge and the cocktail sauce had a kick of spicy which I liked. Con on food : the entrees took forever to come. My boyfriend asked for a plain burger with just cheese but they add in all the fixings. The fries were a very huge disappointment. Half the fries were cold and they were rock hard. There's no potato inside we were basically eating hard shell of the fries. The burger bun was stone hard. I ordered the baseball steak (their signature dish) and it was ok. The cream spinach had to much cream/ spinach. I prefer a healthier side with more spinach than cream/cheese. It was pretty heavy filling. Their medium rare is literally rare and it was pretty tough. I had to ask them to cook it to medium and the medium was still rare. The dessert was not that great either. The brownie was really hard and the cheesecake taste so melted like they put it out in room temperature for a long time. I like my cheesecake kinda cold. Just overall the food was really bad. The servers are really nice but the service is so slow so I didn't felt like it was worth it. Dine la is great to help us try different restaurant with affordable price. For the place I don't think I would be coming back here.
Came here for the 98 cent steak deal & if it weren't for that deal I'd probably rate it even lower. For the price at this restaurant you are better off going to other well known steak establishments. My boyfriend and I got the 98 cent baseball steak deal, a prime rib, garlic mushrooms and creamed spinach. The baseball steak was tough and chewy. Barely any flavor as well. Good thing we got this for a steal because I would not pay the full price for this. The prime rib was okay, in my opinion, but I've had much better for a lower price. The two sides did not impress me at all. Service was good though, they were very attentive, but overall I would not come back.

I have been a fan of Pacific Dining Car for 35 years...they NEVER disappoint. PDC is a wonderful place to dine as it is quiet enough to have a conversation (even when it is quite busy), the ambiance is so historic and romantic, and they are open 24 hours/7 days ! It had been about a year since my last visit so when I received an email regarding the FREE Baseball Steak Redux I knew it was time to make another visit. My husband and I like to begin our meal with a couple of cocktails, Chivas and Soda ($13.00) for my Guy and Belvedere Martini ($19.00) for me. Our cocktails came perfectly poured and icy cold in beautiful cut crystal glasses. Our server Hugo asked us if we were ready to order but we told him we like to have our cocktails first and he allowed us to enjoy our cocktails leisurely without making us feel rushed. Hugo is a true professional, his service was OUTSTANDING. During this time warm Sourdough Bread and beautiful Butter Curls were brought to our table...delicious ! We each ordered a salad, the Roquefort Wedge Salad with Candied Bacon and creamy Balsamic Ranch Dressing ($15.95) and a Spinach Salad with Candied Pecans, Dates and warm Bacon Vinaigrette ($14.95) for Hubby. My Wedge was served icy cold and crisp and the dressing was a delicious accent to the yummy candied bacon. The Spinach salad was equally as delicious with the spinach being warmed by the dressing but not completely wilted, still a little crisp. I would recommend BOTH of these salads and they are quite substantial in size so could be easily shared. Time for Steak ! The Baseball Steak Redux promotion (valued at 42.95) was everything I have come expect from PDC. My husband and I both had this promotion and both of our steaks were cooked to perfection, Medium Rare, a nice crust on the outside and JUICY, SAVORY MEATY DELICIOUSNESS inside. The Baseball Steak is served with half a roasted garlic bulb and a marrow bone, an extra TREAT ! We ordered a 1 pound Baked Potato, light and fluffy, with all the fixings, butter, PLENTY of sour cream (yes, I'm in Heaven) and chives. ($12.95) and an order of Creamed Corn ($12.95) to share. The Creamed Corn is nice and creamy without being too rich. We ended our meal (Fit For A King and his Wife !) with a slice of Pecan Pie with Ice Cream ($12.95) and Coffee and Tea ! As You can see we over ordered, but the leftovers are a nice treat the next day ! Our original bill was $255.07 but with the price reduction of both steaks the adjusted total was $161.66. Yes, this is a bit pricey for just a regular day but I assure you that it is worth every cent. If You have not dined at Pacific Dining Car do Yourself a favor and do so ! GREAT FOOD, GREAT COCKTAILS, GREAT SERVICE ALL IN A HISTORIC RESTAURANT WHO COULD ASK FOR MORE ? ? THANK YOU PACIFIC CAR ! ! read more

Came to Pacific dining car last night with my girlfriend. Even though the rating of this place is low, we were still skeptical and wanted to give it a try. Oh man, I should've listened to those people. I've been to many many fine dining restaurants (I'm not the person who write reviews unless I am unhappy/unsatisfied) but this place is not worth visiting! The quality of the food is not up to par (we were really hungry but we didn't even finish our food, yes, that bad). The food is way too expensive compared to its quality. We order salmon and halibut (no appetizers) and 2 glass of wine (that's it, nothing else). The bill came out almost $200. If the food were good, we wouldn't mind at all. Save your money and spend it somewhere else. read more

Despite the understated facade, inside it's a classic opulent fine dining wonderland. Open 24/7? What??? The meals I've had there were just perfect. Perfectly rare prime rib is surprisingly hard to find but I found it here. Delicious. Servers are experienced and impeccably courteous. read more

I guess people think PDC and steak at this long-standing and venerable LA institution due to the "Hollywood machine", but that's beside the point at this staple of a place, as it's really about the ambience and the meticulous service which is given to its patrons. Location, location, location! Ambience sometimes matters. Where else you gonna' get a decent prime rib and some mac&cheese followed by the perfect sundae in an ultra-secluded sitting at 1am in the morning? It's about the small attention to details. Those small details add up to a perfect culinary experience at this restaurant which will still be standing for years and years to come. Tip: The C. Salad tastes exactly the same here as it does at the Ritz Carlton in San Francisco. Big thumbs up! read more
I love this place - it's just too expensive- compared to other fine Dining restaurants ******************************************************************** Born and raised in LA, I have wonderful memories of Pacific Dining Car, from my childhood to now. It saddens me greatly that I probably won't be back. I love the history, the decor, the food, the service. I love how it's open 24/7, I've had many Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners here throughout the years. I am a huge fan of the Pacific Dining Car, but unfortunately the prices have gone far beyond fine dining - they are just simply too expensive for me to frequent this restaurant any longer. Judging from how empty the restaurant was on a Saturday night, I don't think my opinion is mine alone. We had reservations at 5:45, then off to the Disney Concert Hall, back again at PDC around 10:45pm. At both times they were not close to being at 20% capacity. I don't know how they survive. My meal of choice is a medium-rare Filet Mignon. The Pacific Dining Car currently charges $68.95 for this steak. This is $20 to $30.00 more expensive than any other LA based fine dining restaurant. Below is a list of eleven of the most popular fine dining steak houses in town, and what they are charging for the same cut of beef. Pacific Dining Car 8 oz. Filet Mignon - $68.95 LA Prime 8 oz. Filet Mignon - $43.00 Ruth Criss 8oz. Filet Mignon - $43.00 - 11oz. $49.00 Morton's 8 oz. Filet Mignon - $51.00 The Palm 9oz. Filet Mignon - $49.00 Musso & Franks 8 oz. Filet Mignon - $40.00 Mastro's 8oz. Filet Mignon - $48.00 The Smoke House 8 oz. Filet Mignon - $33.95 Larsen's 8oz. Filet Mignon - $42.00 (wet aged) - $52.00 (dry aged) Flemming's 8oz. Filet Mignon - $47.95 Tam O'shanter 6oz. - Filet Mignon - $36.00 Oliver's Prime 7oz. Filet Mignon - $38.00 All of these cuts are USDA choice but not all are Prime. Regardless, at these places we are still dealing with quality beef. I've eaten Prime cuts which were not prepared well and not as good as other non-Prime cuts. It is incredible for a restaurant to exist for 95 years. I can only pray that PDC will make some major changes to their price structure or I fear they will not be around much longer. read more

I love this place. As I walked in, I felt like I was transported back to the old classic charm of the 1940s. The interior decor was just like the dining car from the trains one would see featured on The Polar Express. This is a classy establishment without the pretentious vibe; a hard find in LA. We came as an early celebration for my b-day. There was a promotion going on for the Baseball Steak, which was complimentary. We shared that dish which came with a grilled garlic clove and bone marrow. The steak was cooked perfectly tender and flavorful. The garlic mashed potatoes were well-made where you could taste the garlic. The winner dish that outshone the others was the creamed corn. Decadently fresh but not heavy. You can even tell that the corn was from the husk and not from the can. At the end of the meal, the waiter brought over complimentary ice cream with hot fudge and strawberries with a lit b-day candle. It was a warm and thoughtful gesture to cap off an amazing day and even more amazing dining experience. We explored the rest of the restaurant which had additional dining areas with that old classic feel. The restrooms have real hand towels. At one point I felt like I was on the Titanic, except this was supposed to be a train and not a ship. Pacific Dining Car also offers free shuttle service to The Walt Disney Concert Hall, Staples Center, Nokia Theatre, Music Center. I look forward to returning soon. read more

We here to celebrate my bf's birthday with his family. Valet parking is $9. Metered street parking, but the street was pretty full when we arrived just before 5 PM on a Saturday. We started at the bar since we were there early for 5:30 reservation. Colby was an excellent bartender and poured well. I only needed one martini for the night. Unfortunately, someone in our party couldn't handle 2 and I'm sure gave the wait staff stories for the night. Dinner service was extremely attentive. Cowboy steaks all around, except for me as I prefer baseball steak. The 16 oz was too big, so it was a little dry. I asked for medium rare, but it was more medium. It was still a tasty steak. If I recall, cowboy steaks are $78 and baseball was $63. We filled up sourdough bread, so I just had a taste of wedge salad, creamed spinach, garlic mashed potato (more of puree texture), and mushroom risotto. All the sides were old school and a little to rich for my taste. The birthday dessert was a slice of cheese cake, which I ate half of and the b-day boy didn't even try it because he was so full. On the way out the door, there are Lindor mint chocolate truffles to take. I was surprised that it is open 24/7. That might be partly why the prices are so high. read more

We had with out a doubt the two best steaks on the planet cooked to perfection. The service matched the prices, high level in both cases. Way above my budget, but fun once in a while, plus rare meat seared and still warm in the middle. The heirloom tomato salad was incredible, while I Could say the same about my Caesar salad. The meal was pretty close to perfect. Been in the same spot since the '20's. Give it a try if you feel flush it's quite an experience. read more

Seeing as how this was a birthday dinner for the wife....I shall attempt to refrain from the usual references of big, hot, juicy pieces of meat in my mouth, or getting crabs (cakes) or even how my nipples got super hard during dinner because the air conditioner here was blasting on the gawdamn north pole setting. None of that dear yelpers, for today I pretend to be a classy son of a bitch. Ahem, HAPPY MOTHERFU*KING BIRTHDAY!!! So I get the honor of celebrating another year of the wife's existence on this planet with...what else...MEAT! ok then, Let's get down to brass tacks MIDORI MARTINI http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/N70oKt4U4XKDWDQbizDw_Q?select=DI1zlz7oHAjshmfo3V68kw I don't like drinks that look like neon lights.

Just a quality hunk of meat. The wife got a filet mignon medium well that looked and tasted like beef jerky.....not a fan, but she liked it....so there's that. She's got weird tastes....as is painfully evident in her tastes in men. gawdammit. CHEESECAKE http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/N70oKt4U4XKDWDQbizDw_Q?select=kY2t4qbYmIvi_98dZEPWPQ They were cool enough to bring this out for free and with a lit candle. Our friends sang happy birthday and we all had a great time. Did I mention this place is in a gawdamn railroad dining car and that it is open 24 hours a day and 7 days a week in downtown LA!?!? Go here. Eat some meat. Celebrate. Just don't flush the toilet when the train is standing at the station. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/N70oKt4U4XKDWDQbizDw_Q?select=8bWDMDBIPdNTtZelppqO1A Know your railway courtesy gawdammit.

Pacific Dining Car is located on 6th street in LA. It's open 24/7. This is a great benefit to me, as I am frequently awake during odd hours. I enjoyed eating in an old dining car. The interior is decorated to make you feel as though you are actually on a train ride. It has a classic, upscale, old school ambiance. The filet had a nicely seared crust which displayed flavors I couldn't quite identify. Perhaps they were similar to Cajun seasonings (e.g. blackened salmon). The filet was perfectly medium rare. The flavored crust tasted delicious. For the most part, the meat was tender and juicy. A few of the central bites were too chewy. The free range eggs were fresh and delicious. The difference in taste was clearly evident between ordinary eggs and free range. The yolk was delightful, and the eggs displayed an overall clean taste. I also had the lyonnaise potatoes--they were crispy and well seasoned. Our server Mario was on point. I am not a bread person, but the dinner bread was fantastic. There was standard sliced bread, as well as English muffin and sourdough toast. They were warm, fresh, crispy, and crunchy. The butter and jelly had an elegant presentation. Added to the bread, they were the perfect compliment. I don't get to eat in LA as much as I would like. But one direct comparison popped out to me: Original Pantry Cafe. When I went there, I was underwhelmed. Pacific Dining Car is a much better option in my opinion if you are looking to satisfy a late night/early morning craving. The food at PDC is just on a higher level than Original Pantry Cafe. A small qualm I have is that there are no refills for the sprite, which costs $4.95 for a 12oz bottle (ridiculous). Other than that, the meal was quite good, and I would definitely return. The menu is so vast that I could come back to try something different every time. I recommend PDC as an alternative to the Dennys of the world (albeit more expensive). Enjoy! read more

After waking up super early on a Saturday morning and taking a first golf lesson in Long Beach, Laura D and I decided to have a breakfast of champions! No, not Wheaties.... No, not little chocolate donuts (John Belushi fans?).... Top Sirloin Steak and Eggs - served with 2 eggs any style, Lyonnaise potatoes (like cottage fries, but topped with sauteed onions) or tomatoes or cottage cheese, and toast or an English Muffin. I ordered my steak rare, and it came out BLOODY, baby - YUM! My scrambled eggs were perfect and fluffy, and a bite of Laura's Lyonnaise potatoes made me glad I didn't order them - because I'd be tempted to eat them ALL. I'm still a ribeye fan, so next time I'll remember that they serve them even when the breakfast menu doesn't offer it. The ambience was definitely old world steakhouse, with dark green carpeting and a dimly lit interior. The dining car-lookalike decor was cute, and the chocolate-covered candy reception sticks at the door and brought to the table with the check were a nice change from plain old peppermints. Since they're open 24 hours, there's a very good chance I'll come back here again - and maybe try the Strawberry Shortcake, Apple Tart Tatin, or Creme Brulee! read more
A string of 2 star restaurants for me last week includes the infamous Pacific Dining Car. Park on the street by meter or valet. There is something wrong here. I have no problem with the price points, just with the quality PDC's food and location in general. Why on earth would you dine on the outskirts of DTLA, near slum areas of MacArthur Park? This fabled establishment boasts an antiquated yet classy vibe, reminiscent of the Dal Rae in Pico Rivera. At least at the Dal Rae, you do not feel awkward speaking at normal conversational decibel levels. I felt like I was eating in the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland, but also in a library at the same time...yes, that awkward! We arrived post 11 o'clock and PDC offers a late night menu. You are presented with the standard dinner menu when seated. You must ask for the late night menu. I sat petrified as I gazed at the prices of the entrees. Really, I didn't expect this dive to be so expensive. I would rather go to a real steakhouse such as Mastro's, BOA, or even Ruth's Chris at these prices! So, I ended up ordering from the Late Night Menu having Joe's Special and Blueberry Pancakes. Joe's Special: 2/5 Reminds me of something my mum used to make: Egg stir-fry with ground beef, onions and chives. Perhaps they could have called it Pearl's Special, but this dish was not even worthy of putting my mum's name on it! The PDC Joe's Special employs spinach (where my mum uses chive), onion, eggs and your choice of hamburger or sausage. This dish lacked flavor. Blueberry Pancakes: 2/5 Although fluffy, not very enjoyable. Batter was flavorless. Adding all the butter did not solve this and I did not wish to drown my pancakes with syrup. As for the generous use of blueberries, I could not get over the tartiness and overwhelming sourness of the berries. This dish is accompanied with a bowl of fruit consisting of more blueberries, strawberries and a few slices of cantaloupe. Yet again, tart & sour blueberries. The strawberries and cantaloupe salvaged this dish. I did manage to try PDC's sweet potato fries. THEY WERE HORRIBLE. Hard and undercooked! Disaster! Service was spot on and friendly. PDC is conveniently open 24 hours. read more

F*CK YES!!! Finally great food available 24hours a day! In downtown Los Angeles! This is not mediocre greasy late night - make your stomach turn the next morning - type of food lol! You can come to Pacific dining cart & order a nice Sauvignon Blanc to pair with your seared Ahi Tuna at 1am! For foodies who would like delicious food, in Los Angeles at odd hours of the night this place is a must! Valet only, it's only a few bucks. The service is great! They have a decent wine selection! Their chocolate souffllett is everything a souffllett should be! The ambience is pretty cool, you get a retro 1920's type of vibe. The place is actually an old train - dining cart area and you can tell there is a bunch of history behind it. Definitely recommend you to come here! My sister wanted to take me out for a birthday dinner, it was Saturday & we are night owls... We gave this place a shot & it rocked. read more
Came here for birthday lunch with colleagues. To start, they have valet parking for $8. Personally, that's a bit of a rip off. We walked in with a party of 9. The entrance seating were mostly booths so being that we were such a large party, they escorted us to the back. Mind you, as my friend and I walked from entrance to our table, we concurred the place needed some major updating in their decor choices. The place didn't even smell very nice. It had that old musty smell to it. Our table in the back was surrounded by dark wood. Supposed to be romantic, right? Nah! It's so passé! We all sat, looked through the interesting menu. They weren't joking around with the prices here. If I wanted to pay top dollar, I'll take my butt to a high class joint, which this place was not. My friend and I shared a pasta with cut up steak and mushroom dish. Seriously? Penne pasta and steak for like $25! The pasta dish was cooked with olive oil and garlic. Dude, that's basic 101 cooking. Our other friend ordered the King salmon Caesar salad for similar price that was served with ice berg lettuce. Unfathomable!!! Needless to say, we never let this day down with our colleague who chose to come here!! Um, no thanks, never returning. read more

I love this place. Valet is a bit pricey so beware. They are open 24/7. CUTE restaurant and it feels like you're on a train :] (hence the name, Dining Car). It was also SUPEr quiet in there... zero music... Which was kinda weird but who cares.. the food makes up for it. They have a large selection of eggs benedicts. AHHH delicious~. Their steaks are amazing as well. Complimentary sour dough is bomb too.. So happy to finally replace Denny's when craving breakfast late night in DTLA. Woohoo! read more

Love to End a late LA night at this place. Wonderful service and great food...... the late night menu has great prices..... can't go wrong with the Baseball Steak(The meat is always perfectly cooked)....... and it's the little things like the wonderful ice tea that you can't overlook read more
Throwback Steakhouse in DTLA! Valet is $8. Service was friendly but really really slow. Took 30 minutes to get to go boxes and pay. Really frustrating when that happens. GET THE GROUPON! I paid $67 for $150 when Groupon had a promo code.Prices are pretty high for a steakhouse. That is probably why they don't post prices online. Bread - Very good sourdough bread and the butter plate is pretty. Osso Bucco Short Rib - $48.95 - Short rib was fork tender and fell off the bone. I got the cabernet mushroom sauce on the side and I am glad I did. It was way to winey and if it was drenched in the sauce, I would have hated it. I used truffle butter and black pepper sauce instead. It also comes with a side of mashed potatoes, creamed spinach and creamed corn all mixed together. I would have preferred the 3 separated but it was still good. Ribeye - $68.95 - Good seasoning, meat was buttery and melted. Truffle butter brings it to another rich level. Asked for medium, got medium rare. Cowboy Steak - $77.95 - Same as ribeye but 22oz but most of the extra 6oz is the bone. The meat amount was almost exactly the same as the ribeye. Not worth the extra money. Asked for medium rare, meat was mostly rare. Prime Rib, 14oz - $57.95 - Nicely seasoned and roasted. Meat was very tender. Need to give more au ju though. Mac & Cheese - $13.95 - Pricey but pretty good. Party of 5 shared 1. Potato Skins - $9.95 - Very crispy but salty. Creamed Corn - $13.95 - Pricey and not really good. It was pretty loose and not very creamy. I really liked the truffle butter and black pepper sauce. Steaks were good on their own but when you want some new flavor it was good. ADVICE, add grilled onions and grilled mushrooms to your steak orders. The portion is huge and it can cover as your side AND ITS FREE! Steaks are really good and they should be a 4 but when you undercook 2 out of the 3 steaks we order, I cannot give you a 4. read more
We arrived at 7:30 on a laid-back Saturday and were immediately greeted and seated. After a cocktail we ordered: FILET MIGNON & MARYLAND-STYLE CRAB CAKES - http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/N70oKt4U4XKDWDQbizDw_Q?select=ZXB1Y7ellwunluNkidnNKQ#cmixjbIt1SpNxHvSFSoeTQ The filet was exquisite. It was lightly seasoned to perfection and it melted in my mouth, the way a filet should. It was so tender no steak knife was needed - I could use a butter knife. No sauce was needed either, the natural flavor of the aged beef held up on its own. Great job chef!! The two Maryland-style crab cakes are made with fresh blue crab. A good crab cake is solid crab meat with practically no filler such as bread crumbs. PDC brought back memories of being in Baltimore because my two cakes were authentic. The crab cakes are sautéed, not fried which is the way I like them. COLORADO RACK OF LAMB - http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/N70oKt4U4XKDWDQbizDw_Q?select=o41bkGBleM8ShGMMen6zXg#uu0JT_mxbD6O6ZT52Jklrg Cooked to perfection! Tender oven-roasted rack of lamb, seasoned with rosemary, thyme, garlic, salt and freshly ground black pepper, and slathered with olive oil. This was the best lamb I had in years. The lamb came with sautéed French garlic beans and rosemary sauce that added the perfect compliment. A sincere and special thanks to Yareli and Chris; you made our dining experience a memorable one. Service was outstanding and everything went as smooth as can be. Our server Hugo showed incredible attention to detail and was always there when we needed him. Our glasses were always full, and the food was absolutely delicious. No complaints from me! In fact 5 stars! read more

Came here for a late lunch around 2:30pm. We were greet by a friendly gentleman at the front desk. We sat inside one of their dining cars. An interesting experience given the age of the restaurant. The decor was old school style but well maintained. I wish they will remodel/upgrade their restroom as it's quite dated. Service was kinda slow but professional. We were told that many Hollywood stars and nba players dining in here often! I'd recommended their baseball steak and ribeye! The shrimp cocktail is a must try too. The price is definitely on the high end $$$$ but overall experience was great! read more

"Singlehandedly have just experienced MINDTASTECEPTION. Cowboy steak was literally melt in your mouth, your grandma with dentures could eat this deliciousness status. In absolute AWE..best part it's a 24 hour place"....that's how I started my announcement to the world that I had fallen in love. Walked in at around 11PM since the boyfriend needed food in his system after a long day of finals. I gushed about how I loved the adorable dining car atmosphere and how cozy it felt on the wintery night. After we were seated, the server gave us about 4 menus and we stared at the very expensive one thinking,"oh boy, this better taste good..." Then, right before we were going to order, we discovered the Late Night Menu. It's basically a condensed menu of amazingness with cheaper prices. We ended up asking the server if he had to choose would he choose the prime rib open faced sandwich or the baseball steak. He suggested the midnight cowboy steak ($25) and we decided to get that. And the rest....well, it's pretty much TASTE BUD HISTORY! THE FOOD! Even their complimentary bread basket and butter was pretty exciting. There was french bread, cheese bread, and butter shaped in beautiful circular designs. When the Midnight Cowboy Steak came to the table, I pretty much squealed in joy at how pretty the sweet potato fries sat atop the potato fries and how the steak glistened with juices. The knife slid easily into the perfectly cooked medium rare piece of 8-oz. ecstasy. It was packed with flavor and completely melt in your mouth upon contact. The sweet potato and potato fries were light and refreshing, equally delicious. The fry technique was great leaving no traces of oil taste, just the sweetness of the potato and sweet potato. After signing the check, they handed us these swirly, chocolate covered mint sticks that were AWESOME. Think Andes Chocolate in stick form, yes yes you're mindblown. Ended the meal with boyfriend saying,"I have one gripe with this place...not that it's even really a gripe. It's hard to get out of these booths." So, it's about 1 hour after I just came back from my first adventure to PDC...I've already booked a breakfast date with one of my friends for this Friday. I can't wait to get my little hands on some Hollandaise HAPPINESS. Happy exploring everyone! read more
Truffle Butter Scrambled Eggs makes my heart hurt and my belly happy! Walk into the Pacific Dining Car and you are transported into a different time and era. I felt like everything should be in sepia tone as I walked through the dining car. The booths, decor, silverware, place settings, and lighting were straight out of the 1920s. The wait staff was incredibly attentive and helpful. I have wanted to come here for the longest time. A co-worker recommended coming for breakfast and I was not disappointed. I ordered the truffle butter scrambled eggs. They came out with a HUGE slab of truffle butter. Every bite was filled with decadence. Yes, it was more butter than one should consume (heart attack mode), but i couldn't help but sop up every last drop of butter with my biscuits. A bit on the pricey side but these are the best eggs i've ever had in my whole life! Complimentary valet parking. Located on the outskirts of DTLA (Lock your doors and watch your purses). read more
I have been coming here my entire life, so I'm not sure why I never thought to leave a Yelp review, but here I am making up for lost time. Four of us dined here tonight to test drive the redesigned "baseball steak" that was made famous by the movie Training Day with Denzel Washington and Ethan Hawke. We all had the 10oz steak, which was cooked to perfection and extremely flavorful. They offer a 16oz variety, but 10oz is plenty big enough. To start we ordered two Wedge salads, which the staff was kind enough to split in half so there were four even portions. The salad was delicious and accompanied by candied bacon, which is quite sweet. Other than the candied bacon, it's a traditional wedge. The sides we got were all exceptional. There isn't too much to say about side dishes, but these are the ones we ordered: Creamed Corn Creamed Spinach Garlic Mashed Potatoes Mushrooms I would order them all again. The entire combination of dishes made for a delicious meal in a beautiful old school setting. My only complaint, if you'd call it that, is that Valet is $9. I can't wait to return for another BASEBALL STEAK! Thanks to PDC and crew. read more

My boyfriend and I went on a Thursday evening for their 98 Cent Baseball Steak promotion. We had made reservations weeks earlier (individual reservations per the promo terms but we were seated together). We took the Metro Red Line down from Hollywood to MacArthur Park station and walked about 15 minutes to the restaurant. I didn't mind the walk but my boyfriend thought it was a bit sketchy. It's not the best part of town, but I didn't feel unsafe. The restaurant itself has a lot of character and ambiance. We were seated promptly, and although service was a bit slow, it was very kind and professional. We both got our steaks medium and they arrived slightly medium rare which was actually perfect. We also ordered the garlic mashed potatoes and garlic mushrooms, which were delicious and went well with our steaks. I got a glass of cabernet and we finished with coffee and the brownie dessert. The bread and butter were also scrumptious. I really enjoyed our meal, though I don't know if I would come here again. It is a VERY expensive place normally (our steaks are usually $39). My coffee was $8 and a glass of wine starts at $15. This is definitely a special occasion, money is no object place when you want something unique with plenty of history and character. I do like that it is opened 24/7 and could see myself coming here again if I lived nearby for late night eats. read more

No, no, no. I wholeheartedly do not care for this restaurant. You do feel like you are walking back into time, but it is not at all endearing this time around. There's no old world charm in here due to the prices of this dump. This place is nothing more than an extremely overpriced diner. Now if the prices actually matched the quality of the food and its dingey, stagnant, decaying decor...then sure, I could appreciate it for what it's worth. Bottom line - it's not worth it...even if it is 24 hours. You are better off going to ANY diner or ANY other steakhouse than here. Save yourself the trip. Parking - street metered and valet $7 read more
Woke up at 10pm. after working the night before and was super exhausted. Slept all day and woke up famished once again. Of course most places are closed around this time but luckily my friend had this joint bookmarked and it was open 24/7. Decided to give it a shot. Place has valet parking available, but you can also park in the good Samaritan hospital lot. Upon walking in, I was a bit taken back by how old fashion this place looked...loved how the employee's were dressed the part as well. One of the guys did kinda remind me of someone from twilight zone. This place is a tad pricey...so i was expecting some bomb ass steaks if they were going to charge this much. Ordered the filet minon in medium rare with crab meat, since some of the yelpers were recommending it. I must say... It was pretty delicious and juicy. Super tender, which I liked. My friend grabbed the rib eye steak, also in medium rare, and that was extra juicy. Def. don't need A1 sauce with that because it was pretty flavorful. Although steak is not the same without my A1 sauce and rice on the side. Damn it I should've gotten some rice. Oh well. We also got a bottle of wine which we had 1 hour to finish, so I was buzzed by the end of all this Cuz I had to chug my wine! Forgot the name but luckily I have a picture of it. Our server was nice, even having to work so late, he seemed to be in good spirits. He came ever so often to see how we were doing. Dessert was delish as well. We got the chocolate soufflé! Def. try this one out for sure! It comes freshly baked...takes about 20 min. to make. But all so worth it. read more
