    So this is a cool retro futuristic diner concept that unfortunately did not catch on more broadly but it's still a neat pilgrimage to make if you have a Tesla! Plus, it is a cool place to catch a charge as they have a big screen, showing things like Star Trek and other cool movies The food is decent enough, and though it is a bit on the expensive side, that's not really the main reason why I came here anyway. The people that work there are cool and service was decent. Overall, it was a pretty cool novelty and I'll come back again if I'm in the area.

    FOOD - Tesla Giga Burger: the patty was juicy and flavorful. 4/5 - Falcon Wing Fried Chicken Sandwich: the chicken was fried perfectly. The sauce was good. 4/5 SERVICE: You can order from your car. You have the option of having the food delivered to your car. I was told the robots serve and make the food but this is not true. The robots are displayed in cases. FINAL THOUGHTS: I would come back. The food was pretty good. The burgers come in a cybertruck box which I thought was so cute! There's 2 huge screens to watch a movie while you dine and/or charge.

    We came here on a Saturday afternoon and honestly thought it was a pretty cool spot overall. It actually wasn't too crowded when we went, which made the experience more enjoyable. We ordered a chicken salad, a burger, and chicken strips. I personally had the salad and really enjoyed it. Didn't try the other food, but everyone seemed happy with what they ordered. The food came out in these cool cyber truck containers which was fun and added a little extra pizzazz to the experience. The vibe here is definitely unique and worth checking out at least once. We went upstairs and explored a bit, and I could definitely see this being a fun place to come back to for a movie night or just to hang out while charging. Speaking of charging, I loved seeing all the Tesla chargers set up here. The only thing I wasn't a fan of was the free popcorn. It honestly tasted kind of stale/gross, so I'd skip that next time. Other than that, I thought the concept was fun, the atmosphere was nice, and overall it was a good experience.

    My favorite part was watching The Jetson while I ate my food on the rooftop. I ordered the fried chicken sandwich and cheese fries. The customer service was good and everyone was helpful. I love the ambiance is very futuristic and modern (less is more). The Tesla boxes for food are soooo cute Would I come again, maybe but I'm not pressed or rushing.

    Had the double Giga Burger with the Wagyu chili cheese fries on the side. The burger was solid. Two juicy patties, good flavor, and stacked without feeling sloppy. It definitely leans into that classic diner style but with a more upgraded feel. Filling without being overdone. The Wagyu chili cheese fries were probably my favorite part. Crispy fries loaded with rich chili and plenty of cheese, and the Wagyu added a nice extra depth of flavor. Definitely something you need forks for. The whole place has a modern retro diner vibe that makes it stand out from a normal burger spot. Futuristic looking as well. Clean setup, fun atmosphere, and the staff kept things moving even when it was busy. Overall, a cool experience and better food than I expected. Worth checking out at least once.

    It's such an eye sore for the neighborhood. Overly priced and overly hyped. $9.50 for a strawberry matcha, $35 for 9oz. of sour candy, $60 for a neon tesla sign. I'm just not drinking the juice that everyone else is on.

    We came right after a heavy breakfast nearby and fully intended to just look around while charging our Tesla. That plan lasted about five minutes. The kids saw the place and immediately ordered waffles and chia seed pudding as breakfast round two -- zero regrets. At the risk of dating myself, the whole futuristic interior felt straight out of The Jetsons -- futuristic in the best possible way. The robots were such a hit with the kids, and every detail felt playful and thoughtfully designed. From the self-serve ordering kiosks to food arriving in little Cybertruck-shaped paper boxes (adorable), the whole experience had this "future diner" magic. The kids were obsessed. Honestly... so were the adults. The rooftop/balcony dining area was another surprise highlight -- complimentary popcorn while watching cartoons on giant screens? Such a fun touch. It somehow feels nostalgic and futuristic at the same time. And maybe my favorite detail of all: the diner menu popped up on our Tesla screen right when we plugged in to charge, with a cute little burger icon at the bottom of our screen. That seamless integration was just ridiculously cool. This is so much more than a gimmick or novelty stop -- it's genuinely a blast, especially with kids. Yes the food itself is a bit overpriced, but great energy, clever details everywhere, and an experience unlike anything else....

    Was in the area, feeling hungry, and fuel near emptied. Set destination to Tesla Diner while on the road, system preconditions my car to prep for fast charging and the Tesla Diner menu pops up on my Tesla screen with option to pre-order my meal prior to arrival (how cool is that!). Parking lot is only for Tesla charging vehicles, with additional charging stations around the corner (but walkable path). If you don't drive a Tesla or don't need charging, looks like you'll have to find street parking because you can't park in the diner parking lot if your car is not charging. The burgers and fries are packed so cutely in little Cybertruck paper boxes. Despite the food looking dry and unappealing in the photos, the flavor is quite good, for every single item we tried. The service is excellent, and they are willing to customize your order to accommodate for food allergies, even showed me a printed chart when I inquired. You can first place an order on the kiosk then immediately speak to an employee informing that you need the order customized, and they will gladly accommodate. Lovely interior design and architect, clean restrooms, enjoyable visit. Looks like a popular tourist destination stop too, I see international tourists being dropped off by private vans on the street and picked up after dining. I would definitely swing by for a bite if in the area next time, or recommend out-of-town guests to pay a visit when enroute to other destinations.

    If you don't have a Tesla you'll need to do street parking since their lot is only for Tesla drivers who are charging. I didn't have much expectations going in but I was super surprised at the details and how futurist it felt inside. The space was spotless and you can really tell the workers paid attention to detail when cleaning. As for food I don't usually like smash burgers but his is one of the best ones I've ever had. It has a nice crispy outside with plenty of juiciness inside

    Highly recommend adding the Tesla Diner to your LA tour list! They sell merch on the top floor and have very futuristic stariways and even the Tesla Generation Robots to look at on your way up. They even give out free popcorn on the top. We ordered the Tesla Giga Burger and a Grilled Cheese Sandwich. Both were delicious!! We did end up buying a t-shirt and a Tesla diner take-out cyber truck box. The service is really good too! Everyone is very nice and understood our excitment when entering the diner.

    Not a Tesla fan but I am a fan of this charging station and diner. We needed to charge your car after a late night hockey game before driving home out of town. We found this charging station since we have an adapter we are able to charge here. They have a drive-in movie to watch while you were charging your vehicle as well as a diner. The diner is a futuristic theme that reminds me of tomorrowland in Disneyland. It is very clean you can order via tablets and go have a seat. They'll text you when your order is ready. We ordered a side of fries which were crispy and freshly made, and the breakfast tacos, which were full of flavor and very delicious. This staff was friendly and the restrooms are clean. Definitely recommend this stop if you need to charge and get a bite to eat before heading out of town.

    The Tesla Giga Burger was surprisingly good and so was my strawberry matcha with oat milk. The only downside? Those two items cost over $29 (with 15% gratuity). I had to charge my car and I was in the area so why not stop by. The parking lot surrounding the diner is pretty cool with two large movie screens for people to watch from their cars while charging. The actual diner is future retro looking with counter seating and booths. Order from the kiosk or from your car and pick up your food inside when your number is called. The Giga Burger is grass fed prime smashed flat with caramelized onions and pickles with lettuce and American cheese. I had the electric sauce, which is like a spicy thousand island, on the side. I should've made it a double. So tasty. The strawberry matcha wasn't anything special but it was good too. Tesla or not, you gotta try this place at least once.

    Honestly, you can say what you wanna say about Tesla and this Tesla diner, but there's no doubt about it. The whole experience is unique and very cool. Tesla brought back an old school memory by having a drive-in type of experience while you're charging your electric vehicle. There are many other electric cars other than Teslas here so I'm pretty sure you can also charge your EV is here as well that doesn't fall underneath the Tesla family. I would recommend pulling around to the front charger if you can, if anything is available because that's when you can actually see the view of the diner, watch movies, pick up food easily, and enjoy in your car. I made the mistake by parking at the back charger so I didn't really see too much and had to walk a little bit to go all the way to the front. I ended up ordering some Tesla Gummies, and just some fries. While I was waiting for my gummy's, I noticed that there was a whole upstairs deck that you're able to take a seat and enjoy the movie. While I was sitting there, I had an employee come up to me and offer some popcorn while I was watching the movie. My overall experience with the staff, diner and charging experience was definitely unique and enjoyable.

    No, easy parking if driving a Tesla

    Whats better burger with bun or without?

    Get one of each 😉

    Can you visiting the diner if you don't own an electric car?

    Absolutely.

    Are non-Tesla cars with the Tesla membership allowed to charge here? (Mustang MachE specifically)

    Yes, I own a Mach-E and we stopped here to charge and grab a bite to eat.

Me, I ordered Medium rare. Patty Melts showed up. Well, Well, Well done. Patty melt had onions and special sauce. Was a surprise to me. You would think that with a limited menu the cook would be really good at making a hamburger. And yes I certainly could have done a better job. Was a cook at a high volume restaurant for years and neither of these burgers would have gone out of our kitchen. Had actual pride in what we put out. Very disappointing visit. The 101 was pretty good. Clark Street not so much. Won't be returning here. Overpriced, Overcooked and just plain old disappointing. BTW- It was not busy at all. This was my experience on our visit.

The harshness of the fluorescent lights against the white walls, the aromatic steam rising up from the grill packed with burgers and chicken and onions, the cashier who sends soda cup lids gliding through the air from one hand to his other like a Frisbee hanging on the breeze. It's the epitome of L.A. fast food heaven, with a broader, more varied menu than the other similar places around town, and I've always liked it more than Tommy's. At first glance, the thin burger patties and chili seem interchangeable with that other venerable burger stop, but I think the quality is better at Carney's. Yes, the meat tastes better. The chili also appears very similar, but is actually not as greasy (aka easier on the tummy). Fries are definitely better: thin shoestrings cooked to order and served hot out of the fryer naked, letting you add as much or as little salt as you like. Though I also like chili fries, I order my chili on the side, so it's a neater, one dip at a time affair, which also keeps the fries crispier for longer. Tonight, as always, I ordered a Cheeseburger with just Chili. My wife, however, orders hers exactly as advertised, with chili, mustard, tomato and pickles. Both were hot off the grill, tasty and satisfying. Our order of fries was, indeed, quite crispy and piping hot, our side of chili at the ready for dipping. I also like to grab a few banana peppers, bite off the ends, and sprinkle the juice onto the burger for a little extra heat. Try it next time! And so, it was a good, old-fashioned L.A. dinner for a Thursday night, filled with flavor and classic comfort. Whether on the Strip or on Ventura Blvd., you can't go wrong when you stop for a meal at the train.
