Musso & Frank - Los Angeles, CA

Hollywood's oldest restaurant is a world of old-fashioned meat-and-potatoes comfort food served by no-nonsense, jacketed waiters, some of who look like they’ve been here almost since the beginning! The menu is huge, a legacy of the days deluxe restaurants once offered hundreds of things to boast of their kitchen skills.

" When Musso and Frank opened for business in 1919, Hollywood was young and fresh and Hollywood Boulevard was a magic address. The boulevard went to honkytonk hell in a handbasket and is now trying to rebirth itself with entertainment complexes and shopping malls ..." [Read More].

"I agree with Michael Stern, but let me add some suggestions from one who has eaten at Musso & Frank from 1970 on. There is a large dining room in the back with linen-covered tables. This is the best place for dinner. The booths out front are for lunch. The counter ..." [Read More].

"Flannel cakes are available only from opening at 11am until 3pm. They are thin, simple, and good. Syrup comes alongside."
Michael Stern

"One of the great remaining legacies of the days Hollywood was a magic place"

"Sourdough bread, baked for Musso's, is always served at the beginning of a meal. This plate is on the counter, and in the background you can see the grill where steaks are cooked."
Michael Stern

"One of the benefits of sitting at the counter is that you get to watch the short order men cook. It was mesmerizing to watch this some-of-everything omelet made."
Michael Stern

"Regulars count on Musso's regular rotation of daily specials. This corned beef and cabbage plate means it's Tuesday."
Michael Stern

"The counter makes Musso's a comfortable place to go if you are dining solo. That big bowl in the foreground contains parsley that the waiters add to plates of food as they get them from the counter chefs."
