Great neighborhood hang out. Great food, Manny the owner welcomes you and Ruben races around and makes sure you are happy. Great Route 66 experience.
I do eat here @ least 4-5 times a week. Owner Manny always makes his rounds and greets people. The chefs and waiters\waitresses are always friendly. Cheap $, good food, friendly atmosphere
Offbeat L.A.January 28, 2016Opened 1946. Well-preserved mid century diner with turquoise leather booths, laminate tables & river rock exterior.
Scott RoseFebruary 4, 2016This place is a genuine diner, with plenty of food made from scratch. And the food is good. Fried chicken was a big win.
Eddy mentioned breakfast 24 hours. Rod's is not open 24 hours. They are open 6 am to 9 pm. But breakfast is served during all business hours.
Martin VillalovosFebruary 22, 2014Nothing fancy...just fabulous. Oh so delicious food. Juicy burgers.- If you are in the mood for a classic Route 66 diner experience, Rod's never disappoints. The Hobo is my kid's favorite breakfast.

"The food in the Frontrunners club is fantastic! Had the short ribs today and the meat fell apart on the fork. The strawberry shortcake dessert was light and delicious! You also can't beat the service."

"Nice park with plenty of amenities. Several restrooms throughout. Plenty of parking. Open late. Not crowded like other parks in neighboring cities. Plenty of room to workout, meditate, frolic, etc."
