LA’s Oldest Cafeteria-Style Restaurant

Saves: 609
Check-ins: 119
Clifton's Cafeteria is the oldest cafeteria-style restaurant in L.A. and the largest in the world. Here you can get those comfortably familiar Jell-O cups with whipped cream. Don't expect cafeteria prices - your tab will be comparable to any mid-priced restaurant in L.A. Unlike the common cafeteria this has a full bar built from a church altar!
