Really good diner! Probably one of the best diner experiences specially for the price! Would definitely recommend this place. Coffee is pretty bad, but the food is delicious. Nothing fancy or special, but good comfort food. The frecnch toast is my favorite, really well made. The service is great, staff is really nice and attentive. Eggs, potatoes, omelets are all good.
Rae's hasn't changed in many years.
That's probably the best part of visiting this restaurant. This is just a classic west coast diner. Once you sit down and look around you know exactly what's gonna show up on your plate. The staff are friendly and the prices are what you'd expect to pay. If you're looking for quinoa just keep walking.
Clarence & Alabama recommend the pie.
Bring cash with ya partner....
Overall a 5 ⭐️ as I've been going to Rae's for over 30 years and little has changed. The only thing to go for is breakfast.
The car park is now a gazebo covered 'patio' area.
Expect wobbly tables, fairly indifferent service but also a really good value, old school diner breakfast.
I hope it outlasts me!
Do I recommend it? YES
Will I return? YES
Is it good value? YES
Price point: $
Excellent simple brunch spot. Outside seating option. The staff was accommodating and friendly. Side street parking with pay but worth it. Highly recommend. You will need cash. I will visit again once we are in town again.

Great place for breakfast! 🥞
My first time here at Rae’s and was a welcoming experience…not pressuring nor hassling me but inviting instead!
Love the atmosphere here. Lots of regulars coming in who are known by a first name basis and most of the staff have been here for years!
You walk in can sit wherever you’d like when it isn’t busy of course…inside, outside patio, or the counter which is where I sat.
There is a menu on a whiteboard or they have the full menu which they will give…
The pancakes are talked about as being the best so I’m going to try those of course…biscuits and gravy with eggs and potatoes sounds good too so I’m getting that!
The food comes out fast. Less than a 10 minute wait and all my food arrived still piping hot just how I like it!
The pancakes are very good. Mine were a little burnt on the bottom but good overall..it had a slight bitter taste because of that. Good flavor, fluffy, hot and fresh! oh I do wish they weren’t burnt on the bottom though…
The country breakfast, the sausage patty was the standout component on the dish. Salty, juicy, meaty, peppery! That along with the biscuit and gravy…best by far.
The potatoes and eggs plain as usual need salt and pepper. How do you eat your eggs and potatoes? Hot sauce or ketchup, salsa maybe? Haha
The service was good too…a few people checking on me.
Good food, priced right, all in a lovely neighborhood! Definitely a local favorite and now one of mine! Going to come back to try their waffle which looked amazing haha! Love this place. Be back soon!
It's a staple of the Santa Monica area. Raes hasn't changed in decades.
Same friendly smiling staff, same great tasting food at an affordable price.
Right along Pico Blvd. There is a tent now for additional outdoor seating.
Still feels the same coming back here years later.
Cool, old-school diner. Inexpensive, good food, with Mexican options. Cash only.
If you're in LA and you're trying to save a buck. This is a great option! I got the corned beef hash and it was just around $11. Will definitely be coming again when I visit LA
Solid comfort food in old school diner setting. This is the type of joint that's kinda rare these days. Filling food, good prices, friendly service. This is NOT a franchise type place. This is the way many diners used to be. Ate breakfast here a couple of times and it's all I wanted it to be. Enjoy.

I like this place for the food and the staff. The people here are nice and I like to come here for breakfast. It’s pretty reasonably priced.
Breakfast Burrito is $6.50 but if you add meat they add on another $2. They didn’t tell us ahead of time because when we asked what was in a breakfast burrito our server said potatoes, egg and meat. That gave me the impression that the meat was included.
I did want a breakfast burrito with corned beef hash and the server said that it would be $2 more but didn’t say the same for the bacon. So not sure why it cost me an extra $2. Ugh!
The biscuits and gravy dish is so delicious and is only offered until 11am. ($2.85)
TIP: 1) Parking lot is being used for outdoor dining. There is only one parking space and it is a handicap spot. Look for street parking (metered).
2) I would eat outside in the daytime. Santa Monica weather is pretty nice most of the time. I’m not a fan of their indoor seating (older decor and furniture). Also could be cleaned a little more for my taste.
