We went to the Original Pantry Cafe for late night eats while on a road trip to Los Angeles. Located on the 877 S. Figueroa St., Los Angeles, CA 90017, this diner has been open since the 1920's. It is cozy (read: tight) inside and the chairs have abnormally small seats. The late night menu is written on chalkboard walls above the tables (although there is a larger menu if you go there in the daytime).
We ordered a Philly cheesesteak and a BBQ pulled pork sandwich. The server brought two bowls, filled to the brim with cole slaw. The coleslaw was surprisingly tasty. Next, he brought a plate (containing what looked like half a loaf) of sourdough bread and butter.
The Philly Cheesesteak sandwhich was piled high with sliced beef and cheese. The pulled pork sandwich was full of deliciously seasasoned pork chunks covered with a tasty BBQ sauce. Each plate was framed with homestyle fries. Portions are very large so don't fill up on the coleslaw and bread.
This cafe is a great place to people watch late at night due to the fact that it is near several clubs. It's open 24-hours which we Las Vegans are used to, but it was actually difficult to find a late night dining spot in LA.
Note: This cafe does not take credit cards. CASH ONLY.
