Teddy's Cafe, Los Angeles

This type of gem is a dying breed. What used to be called a coffee shop diner. These guys have fantastic food. When you order a turkey sandwich, you get real oven roasted turkey instead of turkey flavored sponge. I've never had a meal there I didn't like. It's hard to figure out what to get cause everything is so good. Great service, and very reasonable prices. They really pack em in, so you may have a hard time finding parking or getting a table.
