In Short – With stylish early-1960s decor, red-and-brown booths and a jukebox filled with everything from the Allman Brothers to Marvin Gaye, the 101 has an ambience that appeals to both neighborhood hepcats and motel guests. A large menu features the usual diner staples--burgers, grilled cheese, pancakes and eggs--along with twists such as fried-green tomato salad and "No Huevos" rancheros, a spicy vegetarian scramble of tofu, soy chorizo, corn and peppers.

Love this place

by StephieMM85 at Citysearch

I have always loved this place for a good late night bite, and though it is usually pretty packed on weekend nights, I love thsi place. I really hate diners that try to look all 50s. Boring. You know it's no good when Denny's starts remodeling trying to look like a 50s diner. But this place is so 60s/70s it's hilarious. The rock wall reminds me of my grandma's house and how she refused to update the look of her house. But my favorite thing about this place...The Fried Green Tomato Salad.

Loves it!

  • Pros: Good Food, Great Late night place
  • Cons: Busy

worst service in LA

by th0mkat at Citysearch

Three times the charm, as they say.

Well, each of the three times I have been here I have been an horrible experience with the waiting staff.

Let me say , the busboys were working there asses off, even pointing out to the servers they had customers.

Maybe the charm of this place is to the late night rockers and the history on the wall.

If you're on your way home from a late night of partying, maybe you don't notice the lousy service.

Don't stop here for breakfast in the morning if you are expecting more than cold eggs after 40 minutes.

The wait staff I have encountered could have cared less if I ever came back again.

My experience was so horrid with one young man that I stiffed him entirely, something I never do.

On another occasion, I watched two little chickies talking so profusely about how much their weekend "sucked" that they never had a word for me or any of their other customers.

You might as well go to Jerry's Diner for over priced diner fare, or Canter's for waitress abuse.

Later? I don't think so.

very good cup of joe!

by kidobandido at Citysearch

I have to say I've been to a lot of "diners"/coffee shops around the country and I was really impressed by their cup of coffee, just a cup of black.

Service was attentive but they had that kind of attitude "i'm here to help you, but not really serve you", not very upbeat.

I hope I get to eat something next time.
