“ Super Friendly service with good food and reasonable prices. They have lots of specials and shakes. Also a nice kids menu. ”
“ This place is absolutely amazing! I love the old school decor. The staff was very friendly and give the best recommendations. They have games to play while you wait. The deviled eggs are a must try. I also ate the mushroom burger with onion rings. I'm definitely going back to try more food and some shakes. ”
“ I'm such a typical beach person. I hate going past Lincoln to the East, Pico to the North, and Venice to the South. Do I anyways, yes, but ugh. For many decades I went to the Cafe 50's location that was in Venice and I still get sad when I drive by. Somehow I've been a complete IDIOT. No, I didn't know this location existed and I'm so pissed at myself for all the good food I've been missing over the last quite a few years. I love diners, I love diner food, and I love Cafe 50's. Same brilliant memorabilia *everywhere* like the Venice location had and has the jukeboxes as well. I've been twice in the last three weeks since finding it. The first time I had a yummy turkey club with French fries, cole slaw, and a pickle. All so delicious. A couple days ago I went again and had a spinach and avocado omelet. Also delicious. Service both times was amazing but the second time was extra special since the server I knew for decades at Venice was there, Kim, and I love her!!!!! They have a club thing you can sign up for which includes a free birthday meal but it takes a long time to get in the mail, apparently over 4 weeks, so I guess I'll be waiting a year from this month to use it. Even though I have the yellow plastic card they give you, management said that I couldn't do it without the mailed coupon. Kind of a bummer but I'll get over it. There is street parking in front and a very small parking lot in the back. ”
“ Good food and cool 50s themed diner. Employees are dressed for the part and we had a good meal before heading down to Santa Monica pier for a show. We also got a peanut butter and chocolate shake at the end for our dessert. The only complaint is that the mashed potatoes were cold when they were served. But the hot gravy on the sandwich made up for it. ”
“ Another memorable and tasty experience at Café 50s Read my previous review for more details on the food, service and ambience. Dine here - you'll like it ”
“ In the middle of other stores, you certainly cannot miss this place. Exterior is bright and welcoming. Memorabilia everywhere from top to bottom. They have an array of milkshakes and malts. 43 shakes and malts to be exact. Anything from your standard vanilla shake to a strawberry cheesecake shake. Delicious! The Rocky Road shake was a blend of marshmallows and creamy chocolate. It reminded me of eating a cup of chocolate pudding. The Hawaiian Tropic Shake was a delight, made with strawberries, bananas and pineapple. The name says it all. I opted for a standard American breakfast. I loved the sausage which wasn't very salty. The French toast had a crunchy exterior and spongy center topped with a dollop of butter. The avocado omelette surprisingly was tasty. The avocado was atop a slice of tomato and muffin and the poached egg with hollandaise laid perfectly on top, with potatoes. It was a great combination for those looking for a healthier version. The Mexican breakfast consisted of huevos con chorizo with diced jalapeño mixed in for a little kick as well as a side of refried beans and tortillas. Lastly, the Banana cinnamon French toast. 4 slices with caramelized banana and a dollop of butter on top. Come in and take a quick step back in time to enjoy the memorabilia, service and wonderful food. ”
