The Los Angeles location, in a railroad diner car, has been in the same spot since 1921, and is open 24 hours, serving breakfast, lunch, dinner, and afternoon tea. They also offer hand car washes, private shuttle to the Staples Center, and have menus also available in Japanese.

A favorite noshing spot for such hardboiled literary luminaries as Raymond Chandler, James Ellroy and the late Edward Bunker, the Pacific Dining Car has been specializing in juicy slabs of beef since 1921. Located on a seedy patch of 6th Street, the single-story structure, which has grown out and around the original railroad car that started it all, is a grand relic of a bygone age. Even in... more

This historic original Downtown location was installed in a real dining car salvaged from the citys oil-boom days. The place got a much needed face-lift in 2004, but its still very Raymond Chandler. Beef-loving business types have flocked to the Pacific Dining Car since 1921. The beef, dry-aged on the premises, earned the Car a place on Wine Spectator magazines list of the top five steakhouses... more

In Short Open since 1921, this railway car recreation has always been popular with local politicos. A cozy maze of rooms provides plenty of nooks and crannies for plotting and planning over a steak-and-eggs breakfast. Thick, juicy steaks cooked over a mesquite fire are the main attraction. Start with the classic shrimp cocktail, four mondo shrimp with a zesty cocktail sauce, or a... more

I cannot explain how excited I am to live in a city where you can get a perfectly aged and cooked steak 24 hours a day. PLUS if you eat there they have a free shuttle to all the Downtown entertainment venues, pick up and drop off. And its a good place for star sightings.

Donald Sutherland sighting aside, I do want to balance my review with both pros and cons.

Its a steakhouse. Its old... more

I am just retuning from a dinner at the Pacific Dining Car restaurant and was extremely disappointed.

? Our server lacked adequate communication skills. He never made eye contact and was generally creepy. It is very difficult to hear him. He speaks too quietly and you have to ask him to repeat everything.
? If there were specials, we did not hear about them.
? Many of the people at the... more

A hidden 'old L.A.' treasure nestled in a bad part of the new L.A. Beautiful train car interior with its original trappings and service that is on par with any high end steakhouse. The best part? OPEN 24 hours, every day including Christmas. Who needs Dennys? Pricey but worth every penny...if you like mouth-watering filet and prime rib.
