Been coming here for years. Love their tacos especially but everything I've ever had from here has been so good. They tend to take their time a bit in the drive thru but it's honestly worth the wait. Don't go in much. It's kind of small inside. Nothing too fancy. Still, the food is excellent and they are always nice.

It’s a diner and the place was really clean. The fries are addictive. The burger was huge and filling and tasted like it was made at home. The kids meal was devoured by a usual picky eater. I wish I had room for ice cream.

Old school spot, live being able to get breakfast late Drive -through can take a while, but that is because they make the food to order. It isn't sitting around waiting. Good pastrami and burgers brings the crowd.

I am biased as I grew up down the street and ate here since pretty much when I was born in the 80s. My go to meal as a growing teen was a corn dog, a chilli cheeseburger, and chilli cheese fries with an Orange Bang. My favorite thing to get are the chilli cheese fries. Especially when topped with pastrami or carne asada or both IYKYK. I've eaten at dozens of these beloved L.A. subdivision greasy spoon diners and Douglas has the best chilli cheese fries.

Such a good homey feel and good food! Good for breakfast- American and Mexican cuisine. They have menudo too!! Very clean and seating!

Only had a malt so far to dry but it was absolutely delicious

The food is always delicious!! Would recommend everyone to come and eat here! Best pancakes !!
