One of the oldest continually operating American diners on the Westside, founded by husband-and-wife duo Mary and Robbs Singleton in 1947, continues to preserve the authentic diner experience and deliver outstanding customer service.
In a city where restaurants come and go, Mary & Robb’s remains a constant — complete with hearty portions, familiar favorites and the kind of service that keeps families coming back.
With a menu rooted in consistency, Mary & Robbs Westwood Cafe is held together by tradition, loyalty and the simple promise of good food at the right price.
The menu strikes a careful balance between classic diner staples — chili dogs, burgers, New York steak and eggs — and thoughtful variety. Alongside the return of a German hot dog served on a French roll are turkey, veggies, impossible and salmon burgers, corned beef and mushroom burgers: something for every appetite. While dining for breakfast or brunch, enjoy unlimited bottomless mimosas with colorful flavors including pomegranate, cucumber, mango, watermelon, peach or blueberry.
Mary & Robbs began as a charming neighborhood soda shop in the late 1940s where locals gathered for simple treats and conversation. By the late 60s, it had grown into a full-service restaurant, cementing its role as a Westwood favorite for heart meals and friendly service.
As time would have it, ownership has changed twice since its initial opening, but its Westwood legacy has remained remarkably intact for decades.
“For generations, families have enjoyed Mary & Robbs and its authentic diner experience. Passing down this tradition is the longtime commitment of our chef who has served the same, well-loved meals that everyone loves for the last 40 years,” said Roozbeh Farahanipour, the current owner of Mary & Robbs since 2020. “We are proud to call our staff family.”
That sense of family is evident the moment you walk through the door. On weekdays and weekends alike, people fill the booths — students, longtime residents, families, and visitors all sharing the same space. The pace is unpretentious and welcoming, with staff who remember faces, orders, and stories.
To Roozbeh, this restaurant feels like coming home. Hearty breakfasts, classic comfort plates and friendly smiles make every visit special. Whether you’re grabbing a quick take-out meal or settling in for a relaxed brunch, Mary & Robbs Westwood Cafe invites you to experience good food, genuine service and the spirit of a classic American diner.
Mary & Robbs Westwood Cafe is open every day from 7:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. at 1455 Westwood Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90024. The restaurant can be reached by phone at 310-478-3822. Menus can be found online.
