Foxy's Restaurant

Foxy’s wooden A-frame sets it apart, stylistically speaking, from most other retro diners in L.A. This Glendale diner's dark wooden planks, including a dropped “V” rafted along the center of the ceiling, keep the interior cozily dim. You’ll find brassy, arrowhead-shaped fireplace hoods on either end of the interior: one set against a rock wall, the other flanked by floor-to-ceiling windows. The menu is a gargantuan, multi-page affair, with a photo for almost every dish and cuisine that skews Mexican. Locals know this, which is why the wait times can get lengthy for weekend brunch, so come early. You can’t go wrong with anything here, classic diner or Mexican breakfast—just be sure to bring an appetite, whatever you pick.
