A Diner Los Angeles Has Kept Close
Pann's opened in 1958 and has been a neighborhood constant ever since — same building, same kitchen, same welcome. Pull up a seat.
Pann's Restaurant | Our Story
The Building on La Tijera
Pann's sits in a Googie building by Armet & Davis — soaring rooflines, sweeping glass, and a neon sign by Helen Liu Fong. The Los Angeles Conservancy honored it with a Preservation Award.
Open Since 1958
The doors opened on La Tijera Boulevard in 1958, when a good diner was the center of neighborhood life. Sixty-plus years of family ownership later, very little has changed.
What Comes Out of the Kitchen
Fluffy pancakes, crisped home fries, Belgian waffles with golden fried chicken. Classic American diner done right — and the recipes have never needed fixing.
Generations at the Counter
Regulars return the way you go back to a family home — reliably, gratefully, and often with someone new to introduce to the place. Over 3,800 reviews and a 4.6-star rating tell that story.
Written Up, Still Grounded
The Los Angeles Times and Eater have both covered Pann's — the patty melt and the Googie rooflines given equal attention. In a city that moves fast, this place stays put.
