Today we visited the Horseless Carriage Restaurant in Van Nuys, California — a truly charming and nostalgic spot tucked right inside an auto dealership. The moment you walk in, you’re transported back in time. The décor is a warm throwback to the 1950s and ’60s, with classic diner touches that make you feel like you’ve stepped into a piece of history. There’s a comfortable buzz in the air — the kind of place where you can imagine families and car enthusiasts gathering for decades.

The food was absolutely on point — hearty, flavorful, and cooked just right. Though the service was a bit on the slow side, the relaxed atmosphere and vintage vibe more than made up for it. Between the retro charm, the good food, and the nostalgic setting, it’s one of those rare local gems that feels like stepping into another era — in the best way possible.

I was introduced to this fantastic restaurant while negotiating a deal on a new Ford in the adjacent showroom. It is a very clean and well kept. It is also nicely “preserved” in the state it was when it opened in the mid 1960’s.
Food quality and service was excellent. Everything was fresh and presented well. The pies are made right in the kitchen, and are of award winning quality. Pricing was very fair and reasonable.
I really look forward to my next time at the Horseless Carriage!

I’ve been eating at the Horseless Carriage almost every week for the last 15 years and it’s always the best service! The food is amazing and their menu never disappoints. They have everything from great salads to dining options. I usually try the daily specials which they always prepare with nothing but the best taste and ingredients. And to top it off, their staff are always welcoming. Feels like right at home 🙂

We had the French toast as an appetizer and it was really good. Then we had the lobster & shrimp linguine — it was full of flavor, and the shrimp were so fresh and juicy. The next dish was the deluxe cut Angus prime rib, which came with fries and soup. I loved it!
By the way, the service was good too!

Horseless Carriage restaurant is an American diner located at the Galpin Ford dealership serving up large portions of old fashioned and modern comfort food for reasonable prices.

I came to visit Galpin Ford recently after visiting the nearby Sepulveda VA center to look at a pickup trucks for my elderly veteran friend’s 5th wheel. Afterwards we were in the mood for a good old fashioned American breakfast and this place really hit the spot!

Pass the big American flag just east of the dealership where a cute sunny patio, counter seating, cozy booths and well spaced tables are all available and wheelchair accessible.

There’s an early bird breakfast special which offers light breakfast for under ten dollars for early risers.

We ordered French toast with eggs, bacon and sausage. The French toast was drenched in eggy batter, the bacon was lean and crispy, the eggs were cooked to perfection.

Our server was friendly and service was fast. Everything was wonderful. I highly recommend this restaurant to you fellow world travelers.

Fun inside scoop. I was in a band when I was teenager and the owner of this dealership was often in the crowd singing along. He’s an awesome guy. I’m not surprised this restaurant is so beloved by everyone!

I would say it’s one of the best diners in the valley. I drove up from West LA specifically for breakfast today and was really impressed for my first time visit. It’s your true retro LA style diner complimented with friendly service and delicious food. Our server was honestly fantastic and all of our items arrived quickly after ordering them. I also love the design on the inside, it’s the retro 50’s era old diner that you would expect full of booths and counter seating. They have a free parking lot attached otherwise street parking is easy to find as well.

We started off with the homemade Coffee Cake and it was terrific. Coffee Cake is one of my favorite desserts and honestly this was one of the better ones that I’ve had in a long time. I would highly recommend it. For my meal, I had a glass of their orange juice because they make it in-house and have a giant machine right behind the counter so I had to try it and it was delicious as expected. For my meal, I chose the Pork Belly Eggs Benedict and thought it was great. The hollandaise sauce was homemade and not the canned type and the pork was crispy, but also flavorful. The hashbrowns on the side were also done exactly as I like them. Overall, it was a fantastic meal.

I would highly recommend to anyone searching for a great diner, breakfast, or lunch option. I plan to be back soon and I’m eager to try more items.

This review is long overdue.

We came here in August when purchasing our vehicles. Right away I was charmed by the quaint decor of this diner-style restaurant. The menu was also very impressive. We had some things off the happy hour menu and the lunch menu. Hands down, the best carne asada fries I’ve ever had!!!

We’ve come back a handful of times since. The service is always amazing, the food is always fresh, and the people helping us are always friendly and fast.

But, we were really impressed when we came the week before Christmas to redeem a voucher. The place was packed, people waiting in line for take-out orders, and staff was running from table to table.
I was concerned that the service or food quality wouldn’t be up to par.

Boy was I wrong!!!

Everyone greeted us, sat us down quickly, our food arrived just as quick, and all staff communicated with each other. The new menu items were a great addition to an already fantastic offering!

Being a retail worker, my family time during the holidays is precious. They made my experience so pleasant, I had to communicate it to the managers, Geovanni and Anthony. It was a team effort, from the cooks in the kitchen to the bussers and servers!

We will be back soon!

Authentic Italian food served fresh and hot by the wonderful people at The Horseless Carriage Restaurant. ❤ I love the individual personalized service they provide. The employees are truly good hearted people struggling to make ends meet and pay their bills. No matter how troubling times are out there in the world, The Horseless Carriage provides everything you need for a family buffet of gourmet entrees, grilled vegetables and fresh antipasto salad for an exceptionally reasonable price! Try stopping by for lunch or dinner sometime and give thern a try, but if you LOVE breakfast, you MUST eat here. Voted #1 breakfast, and they decidedly deserve the award.

Really enjoyed our breakfast. Super clean, safe, and the food was quite good. As a chef a great deal of places disappoint me with their breakfast service. Not the Horseless Carriage. Thank You!.
