Penny's Diner - Vaughn

Great breakfast. Everything was cooked perfectly. My husband had old timer eggs,sausage, hash browns, and pancake. I have a skillet breakfast. Perfect balance of flavors. Diner atmosphere with good seating, parking, and great service. The two working the kitchen and table were excellent. Really nice place to stop in the middle of nowhere.

The food, great, service not so much could immediately tell the server did not like us from the get-go don’t know why. My husband went up to pay after we left. I went to the bathroom came back. We start to walk out the door the server hollers at us and says are you gonna pay even though we literally just paid her two minutes before……. Like really what are you on??

The server we had today was amazing...so attentive. Brought refill without us asking and extra napkins. Checked on us twice and made us feel right at home. Huge portion sizes as well.

I diamond off the beaten path. A great place to stop for a break and to rest up. I love this little diner

UPDATE: Started working in the area today and decided to try this place again. I'll admit service was better this time. I was doing work on my tablet with headphones in, server still checked on me but respected I was working. They were out of the chicken fingers I wanted, no big deal, I ended up getting some jalapeno poppers. The were really good. Overall better experience. I work in Encino and noticed this place wasn't far. I chose it because I grew up with diners and it looked just like the ones I remember. I walked in and received zero greetings until I asked if I could sit. She said yes, I said thank you, she said nothing. She had long blonde hair in a ponytail, hoop earrings, and a chain necklace. Once seated I got a menu, and she literally walked back less than 5 mins later asking if I was ready yet. So, I ordered quickly. Once I got my food, she never came back. I then sat there for 15 minutes waiting for her to come back. She spoke to all other customers ,and then loudly chatted and laughed with her coworkers. Finally, I came up to the counter to ask for a box and a cup of coffee. When I asked for the coffee she immediately asked if it was to go as though she just wanted me gone. I overheard them also saying they don't want to be there or be waitressing. That part was pretty clear. To be clear, I said thank you anytime she actually served me and even said thank you when I was already feeling frustrated. I was given nothing but silence. The only bright side is I did love my food, so the cook has my thanks.
