Pacific Dining Car

One of the oldest restaurants in Los Angeles is the Pacific Dining Car. Californian restaurant chain Pacific Dining Car has two locations. In the backyard of a friend's home in Los Angeles, it was established in 1921 by Fred and Grace Cook. It was extended to Santa Monica in 1990. Due to the COVID-19 epidemic, the restaurant's proprietors closed both locations in 2020 and sold the furnishings at auction.

Wes Idol III, a descendant of the restaurant's original owners, is currently in charge. Every day of the year, including Christmas and other holidays, it was open 24 hours a day. Movies and television shows like Training Day and Shameless used the restaurant as a scene.

Fred and Grace Cook suggested the idea of a modified railway dining car experience to a friend, who allowed them to use his backyard to build the dining car, taking inspiration from a company with a similar theme. The Cooks upgraded their dining car because they believed that traditional railroad dining was too crowded. They also planned for comfortable sitting configurations. The modified dining car was finished and then transported to a location in Los Angeles at 7th and Westlake.

The Pacific Dining Car's basic meals were divided into sections for Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, and Desserts. Other menus include an Afternoon Tea menu that is only accessible by appointment and a Late Night buffet that is offered from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. Delivery is offered for every cuisine.
