    Cyber truck burger boxes and Tesla charger popcorn
    Jennifer R.

    I am a Tesla owner and go to LA quite frequently from San Diego for acting gigs. One day when I was in Los Angeles I randomly passed by the Tesla diner not even knowing such a thing existed. I had to check it out. I also went back a couple weekends ago and had to show my husband when we were in LA. You will never find more chargers in one spot and at night there are huge screens playing drive-in movies. You can also go inside to grab a bite as well as go on the second level to get a Birdseye view. Inside looks like space Mountain had a baby with a diner. I really didn't care for the food to be honest. We got burgers. But what do you expect? It's more for the cool atmosphere. You can also order from the screen in your Tesla. Bonus tip. There's free popcorn on the second level. Such a great place to charge up in LA.

    Definitely a futuristic take on a cafe, I was immediately reminded of old movie scenes and how the 'future' was seen. My party was notified that we have a time limit on dining so we ate within 30 minutes while our Tesla was being charged. Service was great, the people were kind. There was water on the stairs which was a little dangerous. The view from the second floor was cool but is very sunny as there's not much shading. There are two large screens where you can hear what's playing on the 2nd floor as well. It's cool to visit for the one time as it was very pricey.

    Very clean! Very futuristic and a great place to stop by for a rest and to eat. I can't speak for the service or to the food, because I didn't eat today. However, the food looks great and the employees look happy to see you with smiles. The charging station , Main just outside the diner is very crowded. But the huge overflow carports has available spots. Also, this is one of few, that still have super fast charging (v4) at over 350kw/hour. Next time I come will order food from the car or inside. Enjoy!

    Fun experience while you charge your Tesla. Despite being in the heart of Hollywood, it was packed! There was a wait to find an open charging spot. The diner is cool inside, food is a bit pricey, a regular smash burger is $15 after tax and does not include fries. The upper level has 2 big screens where you can watch a movie while enjoying your food or have some of their free popcorn. Staff is friendly. There is also an option to order from your car and they bring the food to you. Restrooms are clean but only 3 or 4 so there was a wait.

    I liked the Tesla Diner a lot more than I thought I would! I came on the one year anniversary and they had roller skating gals delivering orders to your car. I came back a week later and it was just a guy dressed in black walking the order to my car. Classic movies playing on the two drive-in theater type screens. I was never able to get my Tesla car to play the movie and sound inside though. Neat interior with Tesla displays and Optimus Prime on exhibit. Free popcorn upstairs and good viewing deck for the movie. It was a few minutes wait to get into the parking lot the first time, and they had lots of staff directing traffic and kicking out people who were sleeping in cars.

    Stopped by here during CicLAvia to get some lunch. Service was pleasant. The food was pretty good. The best part about the diner is the huge screen outside. It was playing World Cup so a lot of people were gathering here. The only thing I'd pick on is the entrance. The entrance is very small with 3 kiosks. that you put your own order in. People would have to line up outside. The design and display of Tesla products are cool. I'd come back here.

    Kinda cool but underwhelming. Expensive merchandise and half decent food. Good service but I wouldn't drive more than 20 minutes out of the way to come here. It is much smaller than I expected and it is very warm in there.

    Came here for a charge and decided to eat. Seems like the restaurant is more of a novelty and loaded with tourists. The employees are helpful and courteous. The food was okay yet not of the quality for the price.

    When in LA... Immaculately kept inside and out. Decor was futuristic. I ordered from my car and my shake was ready after I plugged my car in and walked inside. I paid $10.50 for a small chocolate shake (10 oz?) and $9.32 to charge 17.59 kWh @ $0.53. There is free popcorn available on the 2nd floor. There are 2 large screens to view whatever is playing. There are plenty of charging spaces.

    I've always passed the Tesla Diner when some game is playing on the big screens or just to charge, never to eat. Food is served 24/7 but the dining room closes at midnight. I'm not too sure when the Skypad is open or closes too, but it wasn't open this Friday around 11:00PM. Service is minimal, you walk in, order on a tablet, and wait for a text to get your order from the pickup counter. We both got Tesla Giga Burgers and they come in these cute cybertruck boxes, but unfortunately these burgers were dry and wet. The patties were smashed and burned to oblivion that it brought tears to my eyes to swallow from it scratching and refusing to go down my throat. Getting to the middle, there actually were some nice juicy bits, but for $13.50 it felt like there were 3 bites of a real burger. The fries are standard, not crispy on the inside and not soft on the inside. Usually I see something playing 24/7 but today there was nothing? But chargers are very fast, there's some futuristic spacey music playing and it's a fun place to visit! Parking is only for charging teslas and is really fast.

    The ambiance is astonishing amazing maybe even the cars and the charging stations for them, too, but the food and service needed a lot of tending to. They add a 18% gratuity to your bill which I did not notice my partner brought it up to me I was like ok. But wow service wise I feel like if you're adding 18% to any bill anywhere the least that could be done is drop off the food to the table. It felt like I was at a high end modern cafeteria. It would be amazing if they had the robots delivering the food I mean it would change the experience not to say staff was not great there was some nice smiley faces by the ordering pad that give out the cyber truck hats for kids which I found cute but maybe changing the delivery of food instead of yelling out numbers will change some ambiance here. Unfortunately, for the food my salad was decent but not flavorful I wish I just got burger and fries instead. We also got a lavender lemonade which was just generic syrup with lemonade type of situation. We ordered a kids grilled cheese with bacon, a BLT , two drinks, and the salad with chicken and for $72 I was not satisfied as I'm pregnant as well so I wish the food was a lot better, but I feel that needs so much help I wish a chef rescued that menu please someone add some flavor or something. The Cyber truck idea is cute though gives it the touch of the place, but would I recommend or come back probably not unless I hear a good chef came to rescue this place, but definitely a tourist destination or attraction if you will. Also having automated items here would help the idea of such a cool car the future ideology.

    My kids (11, 9, 5) loved it here. My 2nd oldest thought the "grilled cheese was to die for." Me, I just got a coffee and chili...need more low carb options but hey it's a diner. We were able to put the order in upstairs at the outdoor area instead of waiting at the smaller entrance. No cash, only card. Free popcorn (buttery!) for outdoor movie time. My kids thought everything was so cool: infinity mirrors in the elevator. Too bad Optimus wasn't here, you need to follow the x account and they will announce when he is coming. He's currently on tour

    Veronica G.

    We stopped by the Tesla Diner and loved the futuristic vibe. The giant TVs were the highlight, especially watching the World Cup from the upstairs seating with free popcorn. The lighted staircase looked awesome, the Optimus robots in the windows were a cool touch, and the Cybertruck to-go boxes made great souvenirs. The milkshake was just okay, and everything felt a bit overpriced for what you get. Still, it's a fun experience and a nice spot to hang out, even for folks in the area who got to enjoy the big screens.

Due to the fact that it is opened late, I justify the pricing here. However, do not expect AMAZING food. This is your typical diner with typical all American cuisine. Ample seating. Great theme. And we love to play some tunes on the jukeboxes. If you love a nostalgic place, this is the one! If you're out late and you're hungry? This is the place!! Will definitely come back soon :)

The drip coffee was decent, not my favorite but got the job done and they were good about refills. The lox bagel was light, easy on the cream cheese, and had the toppings that make a lox just right. Our server was extremely attentive even through the busyness. My only qualm was the 20% large party charge on our bill despite us splitting our group, sitting on different tables, and getting two separate checks. There's also a 4% additional tax "Kitchen Appreciation" which caught us off guard. Gotta love LA. Loved the diner minus the uncalled for additional charges.
