Rancho Park Gardens Restaurant

How fortunate we are to have places like this still left in town. A little diner tucked away in a building that’s been quietly sitting here on the west side since the 40s? 30s? One of the better breakfast burritos you will find and the service is quick. Seriously, try that breakfast burrito!

This is one of my favorite hidden jewels in Los Angeles! Hidden in the «clubhouse» of the Rancho Park golf course, you are transported back to a 50’s-60’s era coffee shop with a very authentic feel. Food is mediocre from a «foodie» standard but I find their food excellent from a «comfort food» standpoint. Their breakfasts are excellent and all of their lunch/​dinner items are solid. For the Latin or Asian crowd who like rice with their eggs, you can find it here (my favorite). Service is friendly and helpful and you can always find a seat in either a clubby booth or at the counter. A great place for individuals, families or even for that business meeting when you need to spread out and take a long time to linger. There is no pressure of turnover and there’s even a fine view of the golf course and driving range!

borderline the most revolting food i’ve had since Wako.
falafel, purportedly from the owner’s other restaurant which is
supposedly middle eastern, were tasteless balls of mush, came
with mushy fries, & a mixture unidentifiable as either tahini or hummos.
i actually feel nauseous from the part of it i did eat.
the club sandwich my mate had might have been the only successful
dish on the menu.
ancient chairs with dirty split vinyl seats.
ancient unclean bathrooms.

Noticed it is still listed as an Mexican restaurant and I have submitted a correction. The place is really a coffee shop or diner. I have only had breakfast there before my golf round so I cannot comment on lunch and dinner. The standard breakfast with eggs, bacon, hash brown and toast with coffee with set you back $ 12.50 Portions are large, I get the eggs scrambled but it looks like three eggs, four strips of bacon and hash browns covering half the plate and two slices of toast. Good coffee with unlimited refills. To beat the LA traffic I get here early have my leisure breakfast and have time to hit a bucket of balls before my round.

It’s really nice eating breakfast or lunch here while watching the golfers at the range. I got a club sandwich and it was pretty good. It was not the largest but the seasoned curly fries were great. I’ve been coming here for years and will continue to come back.

NOT a Mexican Restaurant, so please check those listings!
What Rancho Park Gardens Restaurant is – is a beautiful little place for breakfast or lunch. You don’t have to be golfing, but it’s nestled in the Rancho Park Golf Course bldg. And should you still have your clubs, people regularly leave them just inside. I had walked past this place a few times — and saw an old timey sandwich board with maybe a beer special and/​or a lunch special and thought, ‘Hmm, must try.’ This past summer I began going here, and have liked it each time.
Check. Standard breakfast fare like egg dishes? Check. And while they won’t get mistaken for their neighbor, John O’Groate, there’s plenty of room for everyone. Their prices are lower and the general vibe at PRGR is more relaxed, too. I love the booths, and upon my most recent visit this Dec, the menus have been redesigned. Not a moment too soon — because they really deserve to put their best, uh, cleat forward.
Burgers? Check. Perfectly in the realm of expectation. And though I didn’t taste it, my burger accomplice nodded in approval. The latest for me was their Meditarranean dishes. There was a grilled chicken breast salad which was outstanding: flavorful, bountiful and arrives with fresh veggie accompaniment. As well, some perfectly warmed pita bread. (Next time, I might order a side of hummous). OK, you won’t confuse this with something on Westwood Avenue, however, my goodness — this is really good!
And it you care to push the belt out a little further, consider the Milkshake. Again, very tasty and they don’t stint on the quantity, either. Two can easily enjoy it —- we had the Chocolate, and, frankly, I now can’t see how we’d choose anything different.
Service is friendly and efficient and helpful (they steered me to the chicken dish as I was wavering.)
Park in the Golf lot — or on the nearby streets. I’ve come by here even if I’m not golfing. And take a moment to look around — there’s some interesting people dining here everywhere you look.

A great old style coffee shop, good solid breakfast and sandwich selection, with that old school coffee shop feel. The price is very reasonable, and best price-​to-​value on the westside. A great place for the family.

Great little restaurant. I am sitting at the counter right now. Old school menu, great breakfast and sandwiches. Service is good too. LA really has some good diners on golf course property.
