What People Are Saying About Cafe 50's

In Short – Cafe 50's is smartly attired in red vinyl, white Formica and chrome. The walls are plastered with B-movie posters and ads of a bygone era, and a quarter buys three tunes on the 1957 jukebox. Sizzling burgers and crispy fries are standards, and the soda fountain is unparalleled, replete with favorites like egg creams and vanilla Cokes. Have a Norman Rockwell moment sipping any one of the three dozen super-thick malts and milk shakes.

The Cutest Diner in Los Angeles!!!!
by Pattycakes
I love the 50's decor and the music on the juke box!!!! I feel like I'm actually in the 1950's everytime I eat there. Which is about twice a week!!! Everything on the menu that I've had so far is delicious. The fried chicken and theyre shakes are the best!!!!!!!
- Pros: The food is great and very kid friendly....
- Cons: none that i can think of

What a Scene
by jochu
Cafe 50s is head to toe resurrected from the past. The waitresses seem transported from the 50s and don the ruby-lipped smile that is cliche but endearing. That's the word for this place: endearing. The efforts that are made into making this joint a family, community spot is heartwarming. Craft nights and charity projects alike are displayed on walls alongside 50s knick-knacks and calendar prints. The booths are red, the floor is checkered black and white, and there seems to be a long-running joke throughout the room. For instance, a sticker on the milk canister reads "If you don't like our milk, go milk your own!" and is just like the restaurant's frank humor. Fun little games are played around christmas time with customers, such as surprise coupons that you can't open until after christmas in front of a waitress. The food is also one of the best diner food I've ever tasted. Their brunch, especially! Oh, and being in LA and all, I better mention a celebrity sighting. Adam Sandler, as inconspicious as ever, with his wife and kid. But no one in the restaurant cared, because its just that chill!
- Pros: FOOD, VIBE, CHARACTER, FREE WI-FI, PARKING ON STREET, THEME NIGHTS, PLAIN INNOCENT FUN!
- Cons: none!

Great milk shake!
by klliuc
Intriguing retro decor, and tasty milk shake! The milk shake costs about 5 bucks for one, but they are quite big portion, you can hardly finish it on your own. I would definitely try their burger next time.And they have a pajamas' night every Wednesday night, if you are brave enough to have a free or half price meal for return.
- Pros: Intriguing ambience, children friendly, good milk shake
- Cons: a quirky smell, small table
