"Any concern that the revival would kill the spirit of the iconic space was quickly dispelled when the doors opened to the same beloved camel-colored booths (albeit refurbished), iconic rock wall, and spinning seats at the bar still intact. Clark Street Diner deftly brings diner culture into the modern era while still tapping into nostalgia, its jazzed up diner classics engendering a new generation of fans."
"Clark Street's Diner Breakfast arrives on a vintage-style, oblong plate that platforms a stack of two golden-brown Sonora buttermilk pancakes topped with a pat of butter; eggs prepared to your liking (scrambled or sunny side up are the way to go); two strips of crispy bacon; and a rectangular slab of hash browns. Load up on mushrooms, spinach, tomatoes, and bell peppers - all blanketed in cheese (go for cheddar) - with the veggie omelet."
"The side of corned beef hash is an underrated heavy hitter, with generous strips of salty corned beef bedded in a thin brick of shredded potatoes. The hash is also available as main with two eggs and toast, but with its punchy flavor and salinity, this is a dish best for sharing with the table. Mid-week brunch that rarely comes with a wait, fulfilling self-insert fantasies of sipping black diner coffee while doing the newspaper crossword; 1 p.m. Sunday recap breakfasts over a parade of carbs."
Clark Street Diner reopened in late 2021 under baker Zack Hall, occupying the former 101 Coffee Shop space in Hollywood. The diner preserves original elements such as camel-colored booths, the rock wall, and spinning bar seats while updating the menu and dining experience. Breakfast offerings include Sonora buttermilk pancakes with eggs, bacon, and hash browns; a veggie omelet with mushrooms, spinach, tomatoes, bell peppers, and cheddar; and a corned beef hash notable for generous strips of salty meat and shredded potatoes. The hash functions well as a shared side or a full entree. The diner draws steady mid-week and weekend crowds and serves breakfast most days.
