Astro Family Restaurant - Los Angeles, California

Astro Family Restaurant is straight out of a time capsule — in the best way. It’s one of those iconic old-school diners that feels like you’ve stepped back a few decades, and honestly? We need more spots like this.

I rolled in after 1AM for a late-night work break, and it hit the exact vibe I was looking for — quiet, chill, plenty of parking, and staff that’s cool with you just soaking it all in.

First thing we did (don’t judge) was grab a slice of pecan pie before the meal — absolute W. I got the breakfast burrito and swapped the ham for sausage. Portion was wild — had leftovers that held me down for another meal the next day. Coffee? Endless refills. Fuel for the grind.

This is the go-to spot if you’re looking for a lowkey, late-night hangout or a cozy brunch joint that doesn’t feel corporate or forced. Vibes are authentic. Food is fire. Staff is chill. And the history? You can feel it in the walls.

Lowkey thinking about doing some content here soon — it’s got that nostalgic aesthetic that just pops on camera.

This blast from the past diner is a local gem! Historic place with some modern additions (televisions) and modern menu for today's cultural tastes. The service was welcoming and the food was tasty 😋 One thing I noticed was they do not use too much salt as most restaurants do; the chef knows how to bring out the natural flavors in the food which was an unexpected but pleasant surprise from an old diner 🙂

This place is a life saver at 3AM. It used to be easy to get food late night in Los Angeles until the pandemic hit the restaurant business hard. This is one of the last few places open late night. We must protect it at al cost! Delicious diner food breakfast anytime! French toast delicious and they have the best ranch!

Old school diner feel and the food is pretty good. Better ingredients than most from what I can tell. You might have to season things yourself but at least you can make it how you need or want it. Portions are kind of big, so you get your money's worth. Service is some of the friendliest you ever find.

I visited CA for a show and this place was suggested. It did not disappoint. The staff was friendly, humorous, and supportive and accommodating for the disabled members of my party. The food was better quality than the expected "dinner food" and I didn't have to worry about my coffee cup being empty. And the portions are great enough that, if you're smart, you'll only eat half and keep the rest for your next meal. When I come back out, this is certainly on my to eat at list.

I am glad to pick a good place to celebrate my mom’s birthday. This place has that Sunday morning kind of feel that brings you back to your childhood. It made me forget the problems I had and made me focus on the now: a wonderful birthday breakfast with my mom. Not a lot of places do that nowadays.

This place has a nice mid century type of ambiance that takes you back in time. The staff are amazing and the food plentiful (see pic!). I usually finish my meals but this one was too much for me.

The best part about this place is you get your food ready in 15 minutes or less. Atleast that was my experience.

Don’t worry about parking. Plenty in their property. However, on a busy day, maybe you would have to do street parking but still plenty of those too.

Astro Family Restaurant is an iconic family diner in Silver Lake, Los Angeles. Everything I've tried thus far reminds me of a home cooked meal! They have something for everyone, from steak, to soups and salads, Mexican cuisine, Italian food, burgers, seafood, deserts and more! How can a restaurant have such an extensive menu and yet, deliver on flavors for every facet? 🤯😋😋 THEY DO! I highly recommend eating here. It's a cozy, true American Diner experience that doesn't disappoint!
