Fifties Grill & Dairy

This place is awesome! Great style, ambiance, service and very clean, but the most incredible thing to note is the food. I'm a hamburger guy and this restaurant made the best burger I've ever eaten! The mushroom melt burger, hands down fantastic. Our server made our experience next to perfect, polite, funny and laid back. This is a must attraction when visiting LA.

Must stop and enjoy this excellent 50s diner! Brought my family of 10 in here for lunch and was able to sit down right away. Our host was very polite and treated our little girl with a surprise quarter for the mini jukebox song selections available at your tables. 25cents gets 3 songs. Our drink orders came out quickly and he had beer and wine choices too. Mimosas were very delightful and hit the spot. Big menu that offers breakfast all day. You can find something for everyone, and once the food arrived it looked amazing. We even heard the little bell ding in the kitchen when our plates were being finished. All the old memorabilia really makes it a fun place to visit and you will enjoy all the pictures you will see of old celebrities and musicians. Elvis and Marilyn Monroe, Bettie Page and such all over the place. The food was so delicious and it made the whole visit perfect. Will for sure bring friends here when they come to town as well.

I can’t say enough about this place. The people were super friendly and the food is a must have. I felt at home here and you don’t get that feeling at many restaurants. If you are ever in Burbank, CA you have to stop and get some great food.Food: 5/5

Eating out at The Great Grill is not merely a meal, but an immersive time-travel experience that whisks you back to the effervescent energy of the 1980s. It is here that you can savor a heady blend of nostalgic ambiance, groovy tunes, and decadent culinary offerings. It's much more than a restaurant—it's a time capsule that somehow manages to serve up comfort food in a way that not only delights the palate, but the heart too. The centerpiece of their menu, the club sandwich, is truly a thing of beauty. It is a masterclass in the art of sandwich-making—juicy layers of fresh turkey and crispy bacon, ripe tomatoes, crisp lettuce, all tucked within perfectly toasted bread. The sandwich is lathered with just the right amount of mayo, creating a harmonious symphony of flavors that echo the heartiness and warmth of the bygone era. It's not just a sandwich, it's a memory of decades past, brought back to life with every bite. If you have a penchant for breakfast foods, The Great Grill's French toast is worth a dedicated trip on its own. The thick, pillowy slices of bread are dipped in a fragrant egg mixture, expertly griddled to a golden brown, and dusted with a tantalizing kiss of powdered sugar. The taste is pure vintage decadence, the textures are divine, and the loving attention to detail in every bite is an homage to the home-style cooking of yesteryears. But the allure of The Great Grill extends beyond the delicious offerings on the plate. A vintage jukebox stands tall in the corner, offering guests the opportunity to soundtrack their dining experience with a selection from the top 100 hits of the 80s. For a mere quarter, you can select three songs, providing a melodic backdrop to your meal. From the soft rock ballads to pulsating disco beats, this gastronomic haven is suffused with the auditory delight of a time when music was as much about emotion as melody. What truly elevates The Great Grill, though, is the commitment to creating an authentic atmosphere. From the memorabilia that adorns the walls to the friendly staff who treat you like family, everything about this place evokes the inviting warmth and spirit of the 80s. The air is filled with laughter, storytelling, and the soft hum of conversation that comes from people enjoying a truly special dining experience. The Great Grill offers a dining experience that's both a testament to the power of good food and a poignant homage to the past. It stands tall as a sanctuary of simpler times, comfort food, and the infectious tunes of the 80s. To step into The Great Grill is to step back in time, to a place where every dish is a memory, and every note of music is a piece of history. Whether you're an ardent fan of the 80s or simply a lover of great food, The Great Grill is sure to leave a mark on your heart—and your stomach.

What can I say. I like a good 50s diner and the great grill lives up to the title of being great. Food was good with authentic 50s decor and atmosphere. Service was a bit slow, but very friendly. Had the eggs Benedict which was good, but ham was too fatty. Croissant Breakfast sandwich was also very good. Compared to other 50s diners, definitely on the better side but food could be improved. Food - 14/20 Service - 5/10 Atmosphere - 8/10 Total - 27/40 - good place! try if you are in the area

Visiting The Great Grill was an absolute delight! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles and impeccable service. The menu offered a fantastic range of American classics with a modern twist. Each dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The ambiance was cozy and inviting, perfect for a relaxed dining experience. I highly recommend trying their signature burger—it was hands down the best I've ever had! This restaurant truly embodies the essence of American cuisine.

If you like 50s Music and breakfast, this is the place to grab a bite. The server did a great job keeping my coffee filled. The records on the ceiling are really cool and don’t forget to read lol

Good food , good service , friendly staff. Love the ambiance.Food: 4/5

After passing this little gem on the street for years I finally made it here! I felt like a diner breakfast and thought all my usual spots would be too busy since it was later in the morning. Short pleasant walk from the Palm Ave public garage and the patio was empty! I love dining outside because I travel with my little pooch as often as I can and outdoor dining is a must for that. It is on the shady side of the street in the morning and they had all the typical diner fare I was craving. Over medium eggs? Perfect! I won't forget this place next time I need a simple yet satisfying meal out.

Found this diner while on vacation. I had the breakfast croissant and potatoes. Both were amazing. We went back again a couple days later before heading home because I couldn’t stop thinking about the croissant. The owner, Sam, remembered us and our order from our first visit! Friendly staff, fantastic food, and a great ambiance. I would highly recommend this place!
