It's Father's Day and the wait was bad at 9:30 am. Been waiting for over an Hour. Cash "ONLY"! They seat 3 customers at a 5-6 booth, not a good business decision. Customers lingering in dining area on laptops, totally uncalled for on busy days. Despite all the above this restaurant is a classic, Customer Service is great once you get in, food is fantastic, food gets prepared and delivered very quickly. April our Server was super nice, knowledgeable and helpful. As well as being very attentive.

Tiny but great service and excellent food. Airport nearby in El Segundo and took relatives just as they got off flight. It has the ambiance of a 1950's diner with a breakfast bonanza of amazing food you haven't seen since you were with Ma & Pa in Iowa. Great fun and food. My family loved it! (We're all from the Midwest!)

A very good local South Bay country diner that is cash only. All diners to me are either the traditional retro diner or a country diner and this definitely counts as a country diner to me. It's fairly small on the inside so at busy times there may be a wait. Being a country diner their menu is more limited compared to some other diners but they have a lot of homey classics. Our server was very polite and everything we ordered came out pretty quickly. They don't have a dedicated parking lot but it's easy to find street parking or there is a parking structure on the same block with free parking, which is where we parked. Their coffee is very good and strong so I would recommend ordering that, I chose to start my meal with it. For our dishes, we ordered the Eggs Benedict and substituted a sausage patty instead of ham and the Pancake Special. The Eggs Benedict was actually very good and the sausage was a great addition. The eggs were cooked perfectly and overall it was a very good dish. The pancakes were also very nice and fluffy, and the bacon was perfectly crispy. Overall, I really enjoyed my meal even though I tend to avoid cash only places. Aside from that everything else was great and the pricing is fair so I would recommend it to anyone searching for a great breakfast or lunch option.

Great spot for breakfast. Traditional breakfast . Loved everything about this feel. The staff was friendly and food was wonderful! Great experience on a Sunday morning! I can't wait to return and try a new item. I tried eggs, bacon, with hashbrowns and some of the best pancakes around.... Real maple syrup! Keep up the wonderful service and food!

Breakfast here is delicious! Service is friendly, and they're quick with seating parties. Only walk ins - waited 10mins, not bad for a busy Saturday breakfast place. I love how cozy this diner is. Their plates and coffee cups are like grandma's porcelain collection- it's so pretty! The coffee is good quality and the breakfast dishes is flavorful! Street, neighborhood parking available. There's also a parking lot nearby. Lots of parking available- they also have bar seating. No outdoor patio all indoors.

I've been going to Wendy's for a few years and I really like this place. The chicken fried steak along with their poached eggs is my breakfast ticket. The waitresses are always nice and the coffee is fantastic. What else can you ask for? I highly recommend Wendy's when you're in the area but remember they're only there for breakfast and lunch and they're closed on Mondays.

Wendy's is probably one of my favorite places in El Segundo. Although the only old school diners I've ever seen have been on TV, Wendy's feels like exactly how I would imagine an old school diner feeling. You walk in and there are leather booths or you can sit at the counter. If it's not busy, you can seat yourself. Otherwise, there's a sign-up sheet. My party of 3 went at 10:30 AM on a Saturday and we had to wait about 10 minutes. The service is casual but very friendly. There are so many regulars that the staff seem to know a lot of the patrons there, which is so great to see. I've now been there 3 times, and the food has never missed. I've gotten the corned beef hash (shown in pictures), chicken fried steak, and beef dip sandwich. My friend loves the french toast and has gotten it multiple times. The conclusion? Pick what you want and it'll probably be darn good. Definitely recommend coming here to transport yourself back in time!

What a gem! Stepping through the front door is like stepping back in time. Both the servers were delightful. The vibe is relaxed and friendly. If you're a fan of diners, you'll love this restaurant. The food? Top shelf diner cuisine. Fluffy pancakes. The chicken fried chicken and eggs was hearty faire. And the home brewed iced tea was delicious. They don't accept credit cards so either bring cash or Venmo. We will be back!!! Cheers!
