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.
Adam AshleyApril 29, 2017Interesting Fact: Scenes of the hit television show, "Mad Men" were filmed here.
