Answer 7

Not really a diner or a dive, but my favorite drive-in in Southern California is The Hat. Best pastrami sandwiches I have ever found. Almost worth the 4 hour drive from Las Vegas to the nearest one for me. d**n - now I'm hungry.

Answer 8

Ohhh wanna a good burger I suggest Bobs Big Boy. Go to the original diner in Burbank, right off the 134 FWY on Riverside Dr.

Some nights people bring their classic cars. Every time I go back to So-Cal, I visit Bobs.

I'm a Long Beach resident so most of my suggestions might be kinda far for you to drive. LB seems to be filled with tons of hole-in-the-wall joints.

Joe Jost's in Long Beach is a good dive and it's been in business since 1924. Old school bar food like pickled eggs and salami sandwiches is more of it's thing.

49ers Tavern and The Pike Bar and Grill are good places to get a burger. Coco Reno's has good cheap food that cures a hangover.

My favorite dive is Berth 55 Deli and Seafood market in the middle of the port of Long Beach. If you get there around 11am you might catch a guy playing bagpipes in full Scottish regalia beofre he takes off on his fishing boat. All of their fish is super fresh and yummy. You eat outside on picnic tables next to the fishing boats.

The Gaffey Street Diner in San Pedro, Patrick's Roadhouse in Malibu,  Emma Jean's Holland Burger Cafe in Victorville and Baby Blues BBQ in Venice are some places that have been on the TV show.

Phillipe's in LA is a great diner, they invented the French Dip Sandwich and they've been around 100 years.

The website below has a million different places in the LA/OC area that fall under the dive category. They even tell you if the neighborhood and clientale are scary.
