Cadillac Jack's

Here's an old drive-in/diner off San Fernando Road called Cadillac Jack's. In the photo on the
left, you can see the Pink
Motel in the background.
The shot on the right displays the vintage 50's era interior.
Back when the adjoining cafe was still operating, this location, including
the adjacent Pink
Motel, had everything... gigantic swimming pool, classic diner with
old jukebox, candy machine, even a drive-in 'round back (see photo on
left). Now it's perfectly frozen in time, primarily used as a film location.
UPDATE 07/05 : The
pictures of "Cadillac Jacks" was not formerly Buddy's Diner it was the "Pink Cafe" same name as the "Pink Motel"
next door. They were both built in the late 40's by Joe Thomulka, who's
son Monty still owns and operates (the motel) today. Many
thanks to Tim Shpall for update. 07-05
Author's Note: The Pink Cafe was turned into Cadillac Jacks by Tim
Shpall along with Monty's help in 1990. 07-05

This old diner rarely lights up at night these days. However, some days
it's still a hangout for the local car clubs.
George's originally opened its doors as Grisinger's Drive-in in 1950.

Here's another old roadside diner, this time in the L.A. area. According
to the sign, Phil's Diner is used in many a movie and photo shoot.
UPDATE 05/13 : Phil's Diner moved to North Hollywood and opened at its new location in April 2011. Unfortunately, the new owners couldn't make it a go and the diner closed by the end of 2011. 05-13

This stainless steel treasure still serves up hot food to the masses.
Although Ed Debevic's has only been around since the mid-80's,
the look is still 60's.
Ed Debevic's closed in 2003 and a Japanese restaurant called Konpatchi now stands in its place according to this website.
UPDATE 05/13 : Ed Debevic's is long gone. The Konpatchi restaurant is housed in a new building. This area of La Cienega just south of the Beverly Center is a far cry from what it looked like a dozen years ago. 05-13
