Wendy's Place — Restaurant in El Segundo

A very good local South Bay country diner that is cash only. All diners to me are either the traditional retro diner or a country diner and this definitely counts as a country diner to me. It’s fairly small on the inside so at busy times there may be a wait. Being a country diner their menu is more limited compared to some other diners but they have a lot of homey classics. Our server was very polite and everything we ordered came out pretty quickly. They don’t have a dedicated parking lot but it’s easy to find street parking or there is a parking structure on the same block with free parking, which is where we parked.

Their coffee is very good and strong so I would recommend ordering that, I chose to start my meal with it. For our dishes, we ordered the Eggs Benedict and substituted a sausage patty instead of ham and the Pancake Special. The Eggs Benedict was actually very good and the sausage was a great addition. The eggs were cooked perfectly and overall it was a very good dish. The pancakes were also very nice and fluffy, and the bacon was perfectly crispy.

Overall, I really enjoyed my meal even though I tend to avoid cash only places. Aside from that everything else was great and the pricing is fair so I would recommend it to anyone searching for a great breakfast or...

Overall I would say my experience at Wendy's place was a positive one. I went there with three of my co-workers for breakfast before work on Sunday, yay overtime haha. The overall Aesthetics of the diner were pleasing. Apparently this restaurant has been here for many decades, and it definitely shows does it felt like you were walking into the past when stepping into this Diner.

I ordered their coffee, do approve of their coffee. Whatever Brew they're using I quite enjoy the taste of. It kind of reminds me of the light roast that Dunkin uses.

For my meal I ended up going with the steak and eggs meal with buttermilk biscuits. When it came to their meats I definitely get my approval. My steak was perfectly cooked to medium rare, and my sunny side up eggs tasted fantastic. I'd also ordered some nice Cut peaches which or very delicious.

The shortcoming of this Diner appears to be in their bread based food. All four of us agreed that the bread related food that we ordered were pretty meh.

When it comes to the prices at cefaly on the cheaper side compared to most diners.

A good thing to note is that this restaurant does not take card. They are cash only so remember that if you...

Wendy's Place is awesome! Hard to find a good old school diner like this these days. I had dropped off a friend at LAX early in the morning and was hungry and needed a bathroom before sitting in rush hour traffic back to Pasadena. A quick search for an open diner near me lead me to finding this gem. The man working the dining area was very nice and welcoming. I wish I had gotten his name. The whole place was comforting and welcoming, comfortable booths, wood paneled walls covered in faded and yellowed Norman Rockwell and Saturday Evening Post artwork. Everyone in the place seemed happy, from the staff to the customers. There was a group of 3 or 4 older gentlemen, regulars and definitely old friends, scattered around the place that were chatting and giving each other a hard time in that way only a good friend can (it was hilarious). The food was great, the coffee was strong and never ending, The server tried to send me off with a big to-go cup of coffee but I had already had more than my fill of caffeine for the day.

In other words, I loved this place and can't wait to go back. Almost tempted to move to El Segundo just to be a regular at...
