    Chicken Sausage Royale
    Ernest R.

    A Yelp find that peeked my interest with their Cinnamon Roll Pancakes and Chicken Sausage Royale Bowl. Of course I ordered as well as consumed both right here on the spot. The Cinnamon Roll Pancakes were a delight. Fluffy Light warm and tasty with the drizzle across the top surface. Were delicious and not as sweet as I assumed. Actually came out perfect even after barely adding syrup. Simply delish. The service was more than helpful. The Staff are Friendly Professional and Competent. The diner gives off that Ole School eats vibe and is a pleasant experience. Several customers were seated when I arrived and you could tell who were regulars. Says a lot. And it's not just hype. The food is really good. The Chicken Sausage Royale had a medley of flavors complimenting a dish that went together well with Hollandaise Sauce in between the Egg Scramble and Brown Rice (at the bottom). They offered a Spicy Hot Sauce (house made) that added kick pairing and enhancing the Smokey (Tuscan like) Flavors that inundated (in a good way) the dish. Another delicious bite for certain. Will surely return and am glad I found this on Yelp. Gratitude and give thanks to Ronnie's Diner and Staff for a great meal experience and homely warm service. See you soon.

    Rice or Beans I got black beans
    Nicolas J.

    Food was good, parking lot is a decent size, discount for cash payment, was able to call in and order ahead. Service was quick and staff up front were kind. The breakfast burrito gives you two kinda small size burritos, my only complaint is how tiny the burritos were. I got beans as my side, then added potato's as well. I added potatoes to my breakfast chorizo burrito and it was good. Again my only complaint is the baby burrito size that is like the size of a microwave burrito. Still good though worth a try

    Tuna Melt
    Kirstin Z.

    Joined my family for a quick lunch. Gotta love a diner, as they're so far and few between now. Service was great and the server was well versed. I certainly enjoyed my tuna melt and it was large enough to take home for later. The fries were also very good.

    Chilaquiles
    Ben L.

    Haven't been here since last time I came to LA over five years ago. Food is good just like before and service was good. Had chilaquiles for breakfast they were nice and crispy came with a side of black beans and pico de de Galloway as well as sour cream. Their coffee was good an strong. It was a bit loud due to families with kids.

    My first time here and I was impressed! The service was good, and fast. Everyone is friendly and welcoming. They also have an outdoor patio area. The food was really good! I highly recommend the chilaquiles. Didn't wait that long to get our food which was very nice and unusual haha. They have 2 tvs inside but don't work well who h they should fix the antena, signal was horrible. The ambience was very nice and very friendly, props to them! Will be returning again soon!!

    Burger

    Great burger I ordered but wish I had more onions I love these old coffee shops that are neighborhood staples.

    Ambiance: it's a classic diner place located in a small plaza, shared parking lot with few other merchants, casual vibes and loud noises inside Service: very fast and friendly, served water and food promptly Food & Drink: plenty of choices for breakfast and brunch Eggs Benedict - *** Poached eggs served with grilled ham on an English muffin topped with Hollandaise sauce, average taste Grits - **** warm, recommend Bacon Avocado Burrito - *** Cheddar, avocado, bacon, and onion, served in two small wraps Homestyle Potatoes - ** served cold, tasted old and mushy Price: very affordable prices with hearty portions, expect $20 per person, and there's cash discount price

    Cinnamon Roll pancakes
    Lauren B.

    Pretty decent breakfast and convenient location near Del Rey that is walkable for me. It was packed with weekend brunch diners and is bright and cheerful inside. Cinnamon Roll pancakes were a fun twist (large serving) and chilaquiles tasted good but had way more eggs and beans than chips and sauce so not my favorite version of that dish. Service was pretty slow to come to our table after we sat down and others who were seated after us were served 5 mins before us but after taking our order the server was more attentive.

    Cappuccino
    Dian R.

    Damn good breakfast! I rarely eat breakfast, but this was amazing! Fastest service ever! Freshly made, great cappuccino and family atmosphere. Dont skip this one!

    This place has been all over my feed forever as one of the best smash burgers in LA, so I was…read moreexcited to finally try it out! We stopped in on a Sunday around 11:30, no line and very quick service! Finished eating and left around 12:05 so we must've lucked out with no line. We got two double cheese burgers and the loaded fries. The burger had impressively thin patties with a really nice char on the meat skirt, well seasoned, and perfectly crispy. The buns were quite small and a bit smooshed, but they were soft. It came with some fry sauce and pickles as well, overall a good burger. The fries had a good amount of toppings (cheese onions, fry sauce) and were nice and crispy. Kinda wish the onions were slightly more grilled for some extra flavor! Would probably go for plain next time as the loaded fries and burger together had similar flavors The interior has a few benches for seating and single bar type seating around the perimeter - I could see it filling up if there's a big line of people. Would like to try the chicken sandwich and brussel sprouts next time we stop by!

I have carried life's burden and traveled continents, but one thing remains the same after my many moons of life, the taste of a Big Mac. The taste of a burger so consistent and familiar, that my tastebuds can traverse continents and taste fermented shark in the Netherlands, broiled Mackerel in Kyoto, or a cheeseburger in Reykjavik. The Big Mac stays the same. I went to LA to taste, apparently, the best burger in LA at For the Win. I paid $25 for two smash burgers and had high expectations. After all, when you click this joint on Google Maps, a fancy review pops up. Nice! However, when the smash burger entered my cave and caressed my buds, my mind instantly recognized it as a Big Mac. Therefore, my brain could hardly differentiate between a McDonalds burger, and the "best" burger in LA. I haven't eaten at McDonalds in 14 years, but my mind still knew what a gentle and warm face looks like. So overall, it was alright! As the reverend Shane Gillis says "Not Bad". The service was good tho. And the ambiance was a bit weird because the music was off. Haha bye!!!

The patties had that crispy, caramelized edge you want from a good smashburger, and both burgers were packed with flavor. Definitely lived up to the hype for me. So glad I finally made it out here!!

    I'll preface this by saying burgers aren't something I typically go far out of my way for. I like…read morethem, but I've never fully understood the obsession, especially when LA has so many unique, global, authentic, and genuinely incredible food options. But Amboy has gotten a ton of hype, especially from food influencers, so I decided to make the 45-minute trek and try the DH Burger. We arrived just before 5, so there was hardly a line. After ordering, we waited about 25 minutes for our burgers and fries, which felt reasonable for a thicker patty cooked with some intention. The DH is a seriously good burger. It's probably about as good as a classic burger can get. The meat was juicy, the bun was soft, and everything was cooked and constructed really well. Does it justify the higher price? I'm not entirely sure. Was it a mind-blowing experience? Not really. Was it delicious? Absolutely. I just don't think it's so far superior to other great burgers that most people need to travel 45 minutes for it, especially considering the extremely limited seating, crowded space, and slightly grungy DTLA location. If you're anywhere nearby, Amboy is absolutely worth trying. If you're a true burger connoisseur, it may even be worth the longer pilgrimage. Overall, I'd absolutely recommend Amboy and agree that it's a top-tier burger. I just think there are a lot of really good burgers out there, and it's difficult for something as simple as a burger to reach the almost mythical level of hype that surrounds this one.

To say I'm super bummed is an understatement. I am so thankful that I happen to stop by for lunch and visit this location one last time. The same manager was there on the last day as when I went the first time two years ago. The staff there was always amazing, friendly, and the food was incredible. I think it was the Chinatown location that didn't work for them. However, the good news is that they do have three other locations and if you have never been, I suggest you check Kroft out if you love burgers, especially smashed. The other locations are in Long Beach, Anaheim, and Rancho Cucamonga. I wish them luck and I will definitely be stopping in their other locations if I am ever in the area.
