Hunger can strike at any moment, whether it’s at 3 a.m. and your stomach suddenly starts growling or it’s last call at the bar and you get a shot of the mad munchies.
Luckily there are places in Los Angeles County ready to answer that hunger call at all hours of the day or night because the area has a few restaurants that stay open 24 hours a day. Some of these are classic diners or delis, others are more casual quick service spots and not all are open seven days a week, but you can always grab a meal and a seat at these 24-hour eateries.
Canter’s Deli
419 N. Fairfax Ave., Los Angeles; 323-651-2030 or cantersdeli.com
Open since 1931, Canter’s Deli is an L.A. institution and a classic deli serving meals in a 1950s-style diner. A must have for diners at any hour of the day are dishes like corned beef or pastrami Rueben, Matzo Ball soup and the deli’s famous house-made pickles. Currently take-out is open 24 hours a day seven days a week and the diner is open 24 hours a day on Friday and Saturdays. Also, be on the lookout for celebrities, since this is a hotspot for Hollywood, too.
Original Tommy’s
2575 West Beverly Blvd., Los Angeles and 15745 Roscoe Blvd., North Hills; 213-389-9060 for Los Angeles, 818-893-1715 for North Hills or originaltommys.com
Most of the Tommy’s locations are open late, but only the original spot in Los Angeles and the North Hills restaurant are open 24 hours daily, and they are popular spots to get an after-party burger. They’re so popular with late diners that it often feels like there’s a party going on at Tommy’s every night. The must try is a double chili cheeseburger, chili cheese fries or the chili cheese dog. But if you’re looking for a late-night adventure, order the Chili Tamale, which is exactly what you would expect from Tommy’s, a thick tamale under a blanket of chili with cheese, pickles and a tomato on top.
